gamzee: fancy church edition

[☕️]

⬇️ close ups & talking under cut ⬇️

these gams exist in the set of my au's where he joins the church fleet and finds basically everything he hoped for (and whatever would make him choose to leave is going to be a world-shattering event)

working in and refining some of my clurch aesthetic staples: purples and orangey golds, the red-green pair, the primaries trio; rainbow beads, rainbow gradient fabric; some harlequin diamond variations, that multi size spot cluster pattern i made that i really like; some bone and horn in the jewelry; snakes, and ribcages

i do have headcanon thoughts i keep meaning to write out about how different trolls choose to wear and style their sign, and what that says about them - highbloods put more emphasis on line signs and ancestors, i’m sure some seadwellers just get atrociously gaudy with it; within the church, the capricorn sign could have some extra weight given who the grand highblood is

this version of gamzee only seems to show his sign on clothes that he’s wearing in some official capacity (vestments, uniforms) but still dresses to clearly show off his blood and religious affiliation, and i’m sure that makes a multitude of statements depending on who you ask

anyway i like these outfits and i Will be using them again probably

#half formed post in mind about what everyone brings to their own depiction of clown church that i really need to solidify #it's about the ratios of juggalo vs commedia dell'arte vs religion vs circus and sideshow act #the sign thing wasn't intentional btw i just realized it after the drawing was done and decided to expand on it #happy accidents #click for art #gamzee #gamzee makara #clown church #homestuck gamzee #hs gamzee #this file is titled Prince of Colors #in price of forgiveness one of the grand highblood's titles is King of Colors and i love that So much it bounces around in my head

Week 28 - October 8th, 2023 'Moving Forward' - Colony House Spotify / YouTube

My favourite Obi-Wan outfit honestly. He looked so good in the blue, so I just had to draw this. And this song just felt so right for him.

Despite what he says, he truly is rather pretty. 

Enjoy!

hi i am back with a snippet from the lestappen fake dating au i'm writing :D "but ellie" i hear you say, "have you not written an entire lestappen fake dating fic before?????" yes. yes i have. and now i'm writing another one. you can't stop me. anyway this time they're both drivers so it's different

Max and Charles had spoken very briefly over text, right after the photos had swept the internet. Mostly just ‘haha this is stupid’ and ‘can you believe this happened’ and agreeing they wouldn’t make a big deal about it, just deny it when someone inevitably asked about it on Thursday.

The problem is, they ask Max first.

“What is wrong with you,” Charles declares, slamming open the door to Max’s drivers room. No one had batted an eye has he had stormed into the Red Bull Motorhome. One employee had even helpfully pointed him in the right direction. Charles doesn’t want to think too deeply about what it means. About how they have all seen, about how they all think-

“What is wrong with you?” Max asks, looking grumpily up at Charles from where he was scrolling through his phone sprawled across the couch in the corner of the room. “Why the fuck are you here?”

“Because you,” Charles says, pointing an accusing finger at Max, “Just declared to the entire world, that we are dating.”

Max frowns at him. “No I didn’t. I did what we agreed on. I told them to fuck off.”

Charles lets out a strangled noise. “You told them-“ He pulls his phone out of his pocket almost frantically. “Here, this is what you said actually, and I quote; “So what if we are? I don’t see what the big deal is with all of this. People take anything they see and immediately twist it into something else. What’s between me and Charles is between me and Charles, and we would really like it if people could leave us alone.” Charles looks pointedly at him.

Max blinks back. “I really don’t see the problem here. It’s a good statement.”

“A good-“ Charles suppresses the urge to throw his phone at Max’s head. “We? Us? You’re making us sound like, like-“ he waves his hand around. “Like a couple. Like we are in this together!”

“We are in this together!” Max exclaims. “You were the one who said we should wait until Thursday and make a joined statement! That’s what I did.”

Started yesterday reading about how Jonathan Harker has decided his life is tied to his wife's - he's working so hard to save her, but if she beomes a vampire he will follow her and and they will both be undead.

Started today reading about how Ishmael's life is quite literally tied to Queequeg's - he's working to keep him above the water, but if he falls Ishmael will follow him and they will both die.

#literally what the fuck #this wasnt even the intended reading order i fell behind #happy accidents #no but literally what the fuck #dracula daily #dracula #jonathan harker #mina harker #mina murray #moby dick #whale weekly #call me ishmael #ishmael #queequeg #also what was that one line about queequeg being in a shirt and socks and being at a “considerable advantage?” #the fuck does that mean ishmael

Do you want to know what really fucked me up and got me good about Steve Harrington in S1? What I MISS SO MUCH and wish the Duffer Brothers had a clue how to tap into?

Steve was the Queen Bee. Which is hilarious because the Duffers fully set out to write him as the Jock Bully archetype but through a happy marriage of poor writing and even poorer casting (for the intended goal) they ended up with a completely different character archetype.

It was utterly fascinating to me. Because we don’t see male Queen Bees pretty much ever unless it’s part of a gag or some Very Important Point within the plot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one who just is one, while the narrative keeps on telling you he’s the Jock Bully... when he’s so clearly not.

Don’t believe me? According to exhaustive research on archetypes.com: 🤪

Common traits of the Queen Bee = Cunning and glamorous, often materially wealthy, confident,socially ambitious, and charismatic.The recognized ruler of an academic setting. Deep inside she’s an angry girl, because she has been disappointed or seen how the world really is and has no outlet. She is in need of boundaries and guidance. Unable to deal with her emotions, she projects her anger into selfishness and protects herself from the outside world climbing the social hierarchy. The Mean Girl falls when she loses her power. Her power is always directly tied to her social status and her story ends with her no longer resting atop the social hierarchy. If we’re humanizing her, she’s a sad rich girl in need of a true friend she can be imperfect with. She may soften, but often her legacy as ‘Queen Bitch’ will continue to haunt her.

Common Traits of the Jock/Jerk Bully = an alpha male who dominates the school/college environment through physical violence and threats of brutal retaliation. Typically blond, he is rarely seen without a letter jacket or some connection to the sport he draws his self value from, as he is also typically dumb and unlikely to go far in life. If we’re humanizing this character his father is a jerk with unrealistic expectations. He has a posse of enablers who hype his excess anger and poor impulse control issues. His low levels of empathy and radar for weakness in others can be played for laughs if he is the villain of the week or border on sociopathic if he is the heroes arch nemesis.

Now don’t get me wrong. I can so clearly see how the Duffers started out writing Steve as the Jock Bully, but it’s also pretty clear that things went haywire once they fell in love with Joe. I think it’s obvious that in an effort to highlight what they liked about Joe (a sensitive artist and definitely not a Jock Bully) they lost the one trope and accidentally created the other.

So when they create Jock Bully 2.0, AKA Billy Hargrove and decide he and Steve are gonna be rivals for the school crown and ALPHAHOOD or whatever... instead you’re just left with the keen sense that these two characters are supposed to be together. Because they are.That’s the formula. And I would bet money they realized it too.

It's October! Have a ghostly tree.

(This was technically a mistake I made in the mokuhanga class I took last week, where the black ink wisped out like that because the paper was still slightly too wet, but I liked it enough to keep it separate and not run the background plate on it so as not to cover up any of the "smoke." Now I want to play around with that effect intentionally...)

The Midwest changes you.

This morning, while traveling for work, I grabbed a “to go” breakfast burrito from a bougie airport restaurant—the kind that gives you an arugula side salad with your burrito like you didn’t just order a burrito the size of a baby for yourself.

Sat down to eat it only to find that they included a side of sour cream. Again, bougie. But when I opened it up, I realized it wasn’t sour cream. It was ranch dressing.

Friends, I put ranch dressing on my breakfast burrito. It was delicious.

#ranch dressing #midwest #happy accidents #i’m an adult #breakfast burrito #I should be distressed but i’m too satisfied for that right now
