#a separate peace

[squoingycritter]

remember in school when teachers would give you a book for assigned reading and you’d actually read it and it would turn out to be the most gut wrenching, queer coded, beautifully written, definitely not a love story between two boys book you had ever read?? yeah why did they do that

i could narrate a book sooooo unreliably. i have that capacity. for instance i am gay and have nothing going on in my life and have a horrible tendency to romanticize the past

“[I]t seemed, standing there in Finny’s triumphant shirt, that I would never stumble through the confusions of my own character again.”

image description (more like me word vomiting 😁) under cut

hi goobers

i wanted to practice doing backgrounds and different coloring methods bc i rarely ever get to do them anymore. The methods i used were basic one point perspective lines and using the grayscale to color method (honestly yall i didnt know wat i was doing😀)

i started making this back in june and i intended to finish it within a week but it went on for months bc i am unfortunately a perfectionist so i kept redoing it lol 💀💀 and i kept adding more to it.

yea i was honestly being over-ambitious rendering a bg, trying a new coloring methods, and blending a character in all at the same time 🙂🙂 i’ve been working on this art piece for so long that i got tired of looking at it

yea i was cycling through the stages grief and lost my sanity 😊

but anyways here’s Gene trying on Finny’s pink shirt ^0^ ik Gene had put on Finny’s shirt in their dorm but like i really wanted to do a nasty bathroom for sum reason. i thought it’d be a fun bg to play with

i was also gonna make the pink shirt glow bc my friend suggested it to me but i didn’t really know how to do that ;_;

also, the rendering style is based off of the Spider-Verse movies ^^ cuz can we all agree that the spiderverse style just looks super cool and an absolute masterpiece

first vers. no text

2nd vers. without the kooky effects

there is a weirdly large amount of classic literature in which an ordinary guy is homoerotically besties with a charming and widely liked popular guy and i kind of love it

#not to forget the sub genre of this #which is that in half of these the popular guy fuckin dies #like this is a pattern #lord of the flies #the great gatsby #the picture of dorian grey #the illiad #the song of achilles #(i’m counting that as a spin-off part of the iliad) #a separate peace

imagine if they had tumblr at devon that’d be so weird right?? i wonder what they would post even???

are you seriously telling me that there's a war going on yet the only guy from devon we know has died yet just fell down a flight of stairs

And that's after he got pushed off a tree at the end of the summer session. That guy had to have the worst luck.

funny you mention that considering the reason he fell down the stairs

a separate peace goes CRAZY with the queer subtext “ “I stopped and looked at him up and down. He didn't look directly back at me. "You're too good to be true," I said after a while. “

media literacy is dead again for real why did i read a reddit thread on a separate peace and they were like "i felt sympathy for gene at first but not when he MURDERED his friend how could anyone excuse that" first of all. what. also like why is the main critique of the book that it's "unrelatable" to modern audiences because it's about rich white boys in a boarding school during world war II. i'm neither rich nor white nor a man but i found it Extremely relatable because i had a best friend when i was 16-17. i reread it when i miss this best friend i don't talk to anymore. Idk about u but for me meaning can transcend place and time. i'm also a homosexual if that helps

#a separate peace #asp #a separate peace tumblr what are ur thoughts on the it's unrelatable argument because personally i think its full of shit #like i hate that it makes me sound like a conservative complaining about the woke PC crowd but also yeah can we stop this mindset
