DO NOT BE AFRAID

this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.

I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!

idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

The Excidium Troie + Ovid's Heroides:

Ovid, Heroides 16 (trans. Harold Isbell)

#long post #paris of troy #komiks tag #it's all greek to me #like. DISTANTLY. its #the iliad #drawing tag #listen i know it's fun to dunk on paris. but im a chronic killjoy. i know its cringe. mea culpa etc #i would love. I WOULD LOVE. to draw a comic and not have the commentary notes be longer than the comic itself #unfortunately i like to read and i cannot stop talking about things that i read. so this will not be changing. #ngl i keep hearing the last line 'my brother says you are a just judge' as 'and brutus says he is an honorable man' and that's smth for sur #god i wish this was shorter but then i remember it could've been longer bc i started drawing this while watching #some excellent korean horror but then i looked at myself in the mirror and said 'no. get your shit together.' #but that show is what sparked this. the themes. god i love shows. a round of applause for tv shows. #in a different world theres a version of me that didn't exercise self restraint and there's 30 screen caps from a horror show here too

“Poorly-Drawn” Poorly-Drawn-MDZS by my friend who has no context for what MDZS is, but has read every comic of mine in support.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #fan art #[text translation]: ‘Are you sure? I haven't done art in my life and I dont even own any coloured pens or have funny things to say- #or know what mdzs is? I have never seen the show I mean are you sure you want this? Your loss dude.’ #The context for this was my curiosity about their impressions of what was going on after a whole year of second hand exposure. #Honestly I think you (I know you'll see this) knocked it out of the park with this comic - despite protesting about a ‘lack of art skills’. #The punchlines absolutely incapacitated me. So glad this is my highly specific legacy. #Round of applause for Larry; the guy who's literally been here from the start. The ultimate cheerleader. #Makes me drink water when I’m nearly incapacitated from dehydration. #And lets me talk about this blog without judgment. #Merci de m'avoir soutenu mon pote

I can't believe it's taken me this long to notice but during Ruth's song just as she hits that final high note on the third 'just for once' you can hear the tune of Richie's I'm not a loser playing alongside her. It really gives the song its own standing against the other 'musical within a musical' style songs that preceded it in the earlier Hatchetverse productions. This song isn't separate from the show's core plot, but rather acts as Ruth's defiance against the 'loser' stereotype as she takes the spotlight for the first time and properly owns it.

And, on the more morbid note, Richie's tune playing behind her act of defiance perfectly foreshadows what's about to come next.

#nerdy prudes must die #npmd #starkid #hatchetverse #just for once #forgive me if this has already been pointed out i'm slow to the game but this was SUCH a good placement for that music beat #another round of applause to jeff blim for that #i think i didn't notice because i was just so distracted by lauren hitting that last note

"everything's connected, you know! all those unsolved deaths in this town - it was ghosts, i'm sure of it!"

onion, the tritagonist of reassassination. a nerdy and somewhat naiive teen with a deep obsession for everything paranormal, they run the blog 'surREAL investigations' to tell the world - or their 6 followers, at least - the truth about the supernatural.

#zeno's art #ocs #reassassination #ONION *canned applause* #theyre my fav child i fear. cute little investigator who doesnt realise a good chunk of these unsolved deaths are octavia's doing #theyre probably one of the easiest characters to draw thanks to their round shapes #fun fact - onion was a placeholder name that stuck. but who names their kid onion... so its a nickname! real name is emery #also please let me know if i used the correct symbol for intersex! they are canon intersex and i used the symbol that google brought up #emery onion reliquary #I FORGOT TO FUCKING TAG THEIR NAME 😭

Desire is not sin.

Love takes on a million forms, each of them beautiful, each of them worthy.

You who judge, you're just afraid.

WIP Wednesday

Thanks for the tag @you-remind-me-of-the-babe! I am also sitting in a cafe just writing, watching the rain, and tackling my own challenging time elements. If I can give any words of encouragement, it is that it is so hard but also so worth it once you get it right!

I am now eleven chapters deep into The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch, which was going to be 14 chapters but is now looking more like 15. Who could have guessed it would take more than one chapter to successfully execute a slow burn? (ha!)

Again, can't reveal too much of what I've been working on, but here is a snippet I wrote this week from much later in the fic that could honestly make sense in just about any SnowBaz fic.

“I know all about that kind of hurt.” Baz brings his hands to rest on top of Simon’s and squeezes. “When you love someone so much you can’t breathe. When losing them feels like having your heart ripped out of your ribcage.” “It’s death.”  “It’s not.” Baz squeezes harder. “Not having someone to love at all is so much worse.”

Happy (rainy) Wednesday, all!

Hellos and high-fives below the cut.

What messes me up the most about the genloss finale is that at the end while Ranboo was begging for us to kill him, his mask was flashing that entire time. It wasn't fully off, Ranboo wasn't fully in control of their own words during that, so we have no way of knowing if them begging for death was just Showfall messing with it again or not. We don't know what Ranboo's actual thoughts were during that time, no matter what, Showfall still had influence and ability to sway the votes.

Our choices never mattered

i’m so happy i found your blog. i’m ftm and have had some rough experiences in the past with a partner with a detrans kink. but seeing your blog and all the forced-masc posts has been so validating and all the more hot. i can’t stop scrolling.

Thank you, tboys is what I do this for o7.

Honestly so sad how common it is for ftms/transmascs to get roped into relationships with people not attracted with men or worse actively want to detrans them. Sometimes I feel lucky I managed to find a partner who likes me being a man and actively encourages me to come out and see transness as more positive but honestly "likes that you're masculinizing" should be the bare minimum in a trans man's partner. Hell even the force masc post has mtf detrans in it, which fine kink is kink, I'm sure my existence makes some ftms who fight for their lives against the fujo allegations seethe, but still transitioning is hot. Being who you want to be is hot. Being a hairy horny man who jerks off any time he gets the chance and cums with husky moans is hot, actually.

#force masc #aap #autoandrophilia #ftm nsft #ftm puppy #K answering asks #I really do have to give a round of applause for my boyfriend I love him hes stopped me from ending ut multiple times Its taken me a long #time to get to a place where i dont seethe at trans people being happy and part of that is being more comfortable with me aap but another #large part of it is him. Hes the onlynone I believe when they call me a man since he loved me before knowing my flawed lumpy form. I was a #man first then a puppy hole to him which is why im so comfortable around him
