#ALTHO i dont like

[homingpigecns]

im playing hashi/hime of old book town and the fact that its about a friend group is fucking me up because its TOO real and i am taking it TOO personally. these characters keep talking shit about each other to me and im writing their names down in my little book

#i hate hanazawa bc hes a war criminal and bc hes A FAKE BITCH #im on his route right now so my mind will probably change slightly but how much really. how much really. a japanese war criminal? idk man #i shouldve just replayed dm/md im getting so invested in this. when tamas name wasnt in the notebook i almost started crying #this is Not what the experience is supposed to be like. i was supposed to have 30 boyfriends or somnething and listen to jazz #instead i am awash in friend group politics #im sure the writers didnt intend for me to feel like this but unfortunately i went to catholic school im a bitch i lie and i pick sides #brandon oscillates #brandon plays vns #brandon plays hashi #i dont like the forced route order bc minakami is my favorite and i doubt that will change and kawase was my second favorite....... #Why am i still here. i accidentally spoiled the twist. is That why im here. i dont know for real though #but i do see the foreshadowing. i dont know i guess its fine. i played super dangan trois so like. #i will keep minakami in my heart. #ALTHO i dont like #u ask him why he likes u and hes like we dated in the womb?? this is not romantic to me #tell me that u love the way i am a useless bum; constantly write garbage; live shamelessly. thats what its about

[romanceddawn]

also i really like the habit older yugi has of pulling the ends of his sleeves up to show off his little bondage bracelets

#there were more artworks i could have added tbh like its in most of the long sleeve button up ones #yugi 'if ppl dont know i love leather and collars ill die' mutou #altho in the rivalshipping photo he doesnt have a collar and just a watch ?? #but i wonder if thats because he got in trouble for wearing collars and stuff at work lmao #yugi mutou #yugi muto #yugioh #devo speaks

TRY AGAIN LATER

it's like. well. its several things.

(Plutarch's Crassus, trans. Warner)

and also this

(ibid.)

that compliment sounds like an insult, baby.

anyway, there's a fun kind of eroticism in being given everything, in taking things that aren't yours without any real consequence, in climbing towards becoming a Roman Alexander, only for one man to deny you, over and over and over again, at every turn. Sulla tried, Crassus did it better. who would put a butcher in their place? who else knows you well enough to do it? who else can match you step for step like this? doesn't it feel like a kind of intimacy, a kind of—

it's also about the 'even sulla kissed my sword/so you want me on my knees too?' innuendo was too good to pass up. that was actually the first line I wrote, I figured out the rest of this to justify making a comic with it

and finally! the sword line is referencing/playing off of Lucan's Pharsalia a little bit because it fucks hard

(Lucan's Pharsalia, trans. Jane Wilson Joyce)

EDIT: oh, and that's a public domain anatomical illustration of a heart. you know how it is with love and hate.

#marcus licinius crassus #gnaeus pompeius magnus #tris homines #komiks tag #roman republic tag #drawing tag #its about how many ways i can create situations where i have crassus call pompey a brat #the subtext going on here is that pompey and sulla are in the middle of their political falling out #and pompey is like. okay motherfucker. and crassus is something that sulla had under his hand #but uhhhhhh. its not going that well for pompey. because sulla got there first #and left his mark #dont worry tho pompey you'll get him in the end. your descendants are going to marry each other #and name two of their sons directly after both of you!! fucking wild. LOVE it #can't get much closer than that! altho pompey did try something when he married publius crassus' widow #crassus himself however holds true to his statement of 'no one is ever going to touch me ever again.' #he's like. not alive right either so it'd be hard to pin him down anyway #too haunted. your ghosts your dead your ancestors have escaped your family house buddy

was there one you saw too clearly did they seem too real to you? they were kids that i once knew, they were kids that i once knew.

Woah, do you go straight from rough sketches to lineart?

Haha yea, it's my secret evil power!!

I dont rly like sketching so I practised years to make sure I dont rly have to! It may be unconventional but it works great for me. Art should be fun! If smth isn't fun you can probably skip it somehow. 👍

My youtube channel has some vids of my process.

#Ask #I also can draw well w markers irl hehe #Altho I've learnt to enjoy sketching a bit more w age #I just dont have the patience to draw the same thing like 90 times #(Yes I'm a comic artist but thats DIFFERENT I PROMise 🥲)

Gonna acknowledge Frederick's growth. From rejecting human connections to having it grown.

It's so nice to see him starting to work hard not just because he's obligated to but because he's enjoying it as well. He used to look down on himself for what he achieved but now he's acknowledged his own capabilities and what he can do with it.

He really looks more refreshed now it's great. The light in his eyes became brighter

#cursed princess club #ik i dont talk abt him much but his growth is very obv anyways and like its just nice to read #altho he wad undeniably as ass when the series started #his personality combined with his past is very relatable #and its inspiring on how he slowly started to stop being nihilistic and start accepting human conncectuons beign offered to him #and how it just returns to acknowledging that he himself has to accept that HE will be responsible for his own change #i could elaborate more but like #yknow #go white boy go

[ID from alt: natsuyuu matonato fanart done with sketched-in shading. natori, casually dressed, is slouching back onto matoba, who kneels behind him in his usual kimono and leans in close to smile at him.]

HELLO. i still love them forever

#art tag #natsume yuujinchou #would you believe i worked on putting color on this for like. possibly three hours #and then decided nothing i was doing looked better than just plain values. so! #and also. matoba looks a little creachery. well he is a little creature. natori who is both the most normal and the most extra #guy of all time and he's married to the creepiest guy on the planet and they have a beautiful life togehter #exe #altho i dont know if this is at the point of them having a beautiful life together actually. i changed up the expressions to be more. ambig #this could be natori playing it extremely cool while matoba menaces at him. this could be natori two seconds away from blowing up #when matoba negs him after natori was trying to put out (end tag) an olive branch a thousandth time #this could be they are inadvisably drunk as hell together. or natori just got his ass kicked on a job. #or maybe they are happily married and hanging out for fun! call in now with your votes

can you imagine being a little twee simon and garfunkel fan in the late 60s and then buying your new vinyl at the record store and hearing mrs. robinson for the first time in your own home. i would’ve fallen over backwards

#i don't know if i've ever mentioned this--and i dont even remember why this is the case--but mrs. robinson was one of the first songs #that i ever knew in this lifetime. like. when youre a little tiny baby and youre barely aware what music is #and you know the words to the chorus of at most like 15 songs. mrs. robinson was one of those songs and i dont remember why or how #probably my father? he's also the reason that i knew the beatles when i was that young too #he also played a lot of bob marley and elvis. we used to have little dance parties in the living room after watching shrek every night #where he'd play his music. but i cant think mrs. robinson was one of those songs? its NOT a dance song #(i can try though. you cant stop me) #text post #simon and garfunkel #but yes this also does mean allstar by smash mouth was also one of those first primordial songs on my consciousness #mrs. robinson really though is such a beautiful and clever song im never gonna be over it #simon and garfunkel is one of those few bands where their most famous song arguably deserves that status in their discography #altho that did get a little different after i watched the graduate as a teenager lol #but the song. didn't slap any less naturally. it just had a new association #also fun fact i don't know at what age i learned that mrs. robinson was by simon and garfunkel #at least until i was like 10 i thought it was by the beatles?

ive been thinking abt trying to tackle a 'truesona' again and OFC itll still be different from me irl but moreso Trying to capture the essence of me in a character,, its very hard to do on ur own tho like its hard to pinpoint what makes you, You idk its hard to explain too esp when ive sturggled with identity since i was a kid x3 thats why most of my sonas are shapeshifters lol

#ive imagined being a shapeshifter since i was very little basically #and im also veeeeery indecisive its annoying #so im like cant decide on one thing fuck it shapeshifter #altho i dont end up utilizing that trait a lot of the time #saturn says

saw @scamlikelys ‘s post about a dndads homestuck au, blacked out for several hours and came to with these sketches. anyway, time player glenn is so real, all of the derse/prospit assignments are so real, i didn’t get to drawing the s2 teens but those were real good too... 

Also a dndads sburb session is so interesting to think about. i would have written out some hcs for it, but i’ve pretty much forgotten like half of all the homestuck lore about sburb soooo 

#dndads #sorry these are really quick #i didnt have much time to draw today #and ive been attempting to practice faster sketching n drawing #also i bet ron uses to space powers to fling business cards and also to sneak and disappear into his pants n stuff #altho being a rogue may kinda change how he uses space? #i dont remember how this stuff works #and i can't really be bothered #this au probably only appeals to like five people here #but whatever #ive been thinking about derse dreamers henry and glenn for like a week now #i had to get it out of my system

everything about asmodeus makes sense when you remember that none of the misfit class had a concept of friendship until iruma came along. it also makes lied referring to iruma as his “little brother” much sweeter, bc family’s the one connection demons have that they can really depend on to last a lifetime, for better or worse but poor azz literally swore fealty to iruma & then iruma was like “actually have you heard of this special word that means i value you & want you by my side all the time so we can hang out & have fun & also no one has ever been this special to me before so you (and clara) are first.” like would that not also impact you a little bit

#m!ik #mairimashita! iruma kun #people keep following me when i post iruma stuff which means naturally i have to post more #my personal theory is altho demon society seems like. mostly straight the idea of romance in general is fairly new #which also unfortunately does explain why kiriwo is like that #they dont even have a word for dating!! amelie only knows bc she reads manga #for some reason i feel like i worded that as an L+ ratio post #oh well #aster speaks #iruma kun
