#it said thousands of hands

[spikethecrazycat]

I’ve started drawing again! I just want to thank @bongo-clash and their Peacock au for the inspiration for this sketch drawing of an Eldritch Danny Phantom, I’m on vacation and won’t be able to finish the drawing for a bit, but I wanted to post the sketch.

 Then, on his arrival in Constantinople, after much counsel with himself, considering that he was already unequal to the amount of pressing business and believing that there was no room for delay, on the twenty-eighth of March he brought the aforesaid Valens into one of the suburbs​ and with the consent of all (for no one ventured to oppose) proclaimed him Augustus. Then he adorned him with the imperial insignia and put a diadem on his head, and brought him back in his own carriage, thus having indeed a lawful partner in his power, but, as the further course of our narrative will show, one who was as compliant as a subordinate. No sooner were these arrangements perfected without disturbance than both emperors were seized with violent and lingering fevers--

this was one of those illustrations that was originally supposed to be a 5 page comic until I realized I don't know anything about later roman empire architecture or visuals or art or anything, so we'll revisit that later. maybe

for right now though, these two are fascinating. we have two brothers acting as one body, even becoming ill in tandem with each other, it's giving This Throne Is Cursed. like, the last time I read about emperors coming down with life threatening illnesses, it was Caligula, and that moment in his biography marked a very specific tone shift. I spent the rest of the (first) time reading about Valens and Valentinian waiting for something comparable to Caligula's reign to happen lmao (Dio 59. 8. 1-2)

and since Caligula was already on the mind, I started thinking about Tiberius: I think he would've loved these two since he had a whole thing about twin-ification and brothers and etc etc etc. ofc, Rome is both a Mouth and a Tomb, so it's going to go badly for someone/everyone eventually, but honestly I think that Valentinian and Valens were the best we could've hoped for. like it could've been so much worse

#(drawing hearts around valens) hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii #roman empire tag #drawing tag #every day i think about valentinian bringing his brother into this and wondering how valens felt about it #especially since the over all arc is that he's constantly just trying to tread water managing everything from six different fronts #did you ever want things to go back to how they were!!!! did you dream of simpler times!!!!!! when it was just hard work and dirt #under your nails instead of the horrible scale of empire choking you out to the very end!!!!!!!!! did you hate your brother for it #im normal about valens. btw. (<<<said by a guy who made valens his icon on his main art blog) #anyway. (claps hands together) im going to go and write about bonifacio and mabini and lucan and crassus and the pharsalia #and mabini's writings on a failed revolution and bonifacio haunting the collective memory #i gotta condense it down to a thousand words. ideally. we are rambling around at around 2k and its unwieldy #valens #valentinian I #later Roman Empire tag

List of Shen Qiao’s incredible violence that lives in my head

(spoilers throughout the entire Qian Qiu/Thousand Autumns novel)

I've seen people complain that Shen Qiao should go apeshit or that he's too soft and forgiving, so I've compiled an (incomplete) list of the times Shen Qiao canonically goes apeshit/shows absolutely no forgiveness.

Beating up a gang of thugs while blind and threatening to poke their eyes out so they become just like him.

Castrating a serial r*pist. 

Stabbing a man through the heart with a branch.

Taking a group of people hostage and forcing them (with threats of grievous bodily harm) to eat all the food they dumped on the ground because hello, people are starving to death literally one city wall away, assholes.

Pushing an opponent he just killed to the ground because he decided the guy doesn’t deserve a dignified death. 

Threatening to cut people into smithereens and demonstrating how he would do it.

Straight up killing two would-be child-murderers in the span of 10 seconds. 

Condemning a man to a fate worse than death as punishment (twice). 

#qian qiu #thousand autumns #shen qiao #meng xishi #his boundless kindness is made more significant once you consider the amount of harm he's capable of doing #this man looked at the immensely cruel world he lives in and said 'well i better try not add to the atrocities' #then situation forces his hand and he goes 'incredible violence it is then' #also it's interesting how many people think he's forgiving when he's simply moving on #just because he is no longer mad at them doesn't mean he's forgiven or forgotten the transgression #in the case of Chen Gong he literally REFUSES to let go of what that kid did to survive an impossible situation #like what exactly do you expect him to do with a sword hanging over his head sir #text post

sad man in crayola

#aka how i cope with the news #by posting art for the first time ever to this blog #don’t draw that often but instead of wasting a thousand words i could just do this y’know #sometimes drawing is more effective than writing even if i’m worse at it #anyways did this in like 20 mins before i started class #one kid said he knows that guy and i said man i’d be jealous if you did he’s a cool actor #then showed a pic of iz and they were like oh he looks more realistic there #really?? does he???? you mean to tell me the photo is more photorealistic than my washable-marker-on-paper drawing??? wowowowow #anyways LMFAO here he is i love this man #izzy hands #fanart #mine #ofmd #our flag means death

Three Act Tragedy - Dress Rehearsal

Egg, Charles and the others attend what was supposed to be a dress rehearsal, but unfortunately it takes a dark turn....

#martin shaw #sir charles cartwright #egg lytton gore #kimberley nixon #three act tragedy #my gorgeous babies! #look how happy they are! #for all I care the ep could have ended there and I would have been alright with it #just let them have a fun night out and plan their wedding in peace #and Charles finally feeling secure enough to put his hand around her shoulder #now that she already said yes to his proposal #my poor darlings - you deserved so much better! #even mama Egg is all smiles #she can tell her daughter is excited and in love #and then the Belgian penguin has to ruin their night!! #Shame on him for thousand years #and you know that slimy little lurker in the background was slobbering over her again the second they left the theatre #my gifs #I'm still so very passionate about them #even though my writing is stagnating right now #but they will have their story told eventually #not giving up on my sweethearts - don't worry!

I am finally playing RE3Remake and I can tell you that nobody is ready for how normal I'm not going to be about Carlos

#virgil plays re3r #carlos oliveira #resident evil #resident evil 3 #and if I said it once I've said it a thousand times #you can pry his very very brazilian nationality out of my cold dead hands #his nickname is Carlinhos and he succumbed to the bleached mustache trend in his teenage years #his drink of choice is Corote and he sings Alcione at the top of his lungs #we all agreed? good

Tian: let me take a shower first

Phupha: and if I say no?

Tian, eyebrow cocked: you're being aggressive tonight.

Phupha, about to get poked in the ribs: you don't like?

Tian, vice grip on Phupha's neck: no, it's just that two can play at that game

#phupha getting thrown onto the bed and straddled by tian: yeah this is going to awaken something in me #phupha said i'll stop holding back now that i've asked your parents for your hand in marriage and tian said me too #phupha: tian what if yod hears us #tian: i do not care #yod number 1 phutian shipper: trust me it's no problem #our skyy 2 #1000 stars #our skyy 2: a tale of thousand stars #tian #phupha #phutian

every single robot shares a soul and it's a collection of every time a human hand has touched it. thank you

#thinking abt how if u use ai art correctly the ai will collect every picture that has been given to them by a thousand human hands #and make the culmination of your words and several other peoples ideas if A Thing #*of #& im also thinking abt some guy who said art is only for those who have souls in an attempt to disregard ai art #which i think is a bit much. #& i know everyones mad at ppl using ais to steal art but im not talking about them. im talking about the tool with a soul #going post #anyway im going to walgreens. u want anything?

you know. back when i reviewed poetry submissions for [insert unnamed literary magazine here], i once got a submission containing only two poems (you could submit up to five) both of which were about the author's older brothers, whose names are dan and john (my older brothers' names are dan and jon...athan) and her relationship w them and descriptions of them were not all that unlike my own brothers. still one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me

#i understand my brother's do not have the most exotic names in the anglophone world #(although this was an international outlet and we frequently got pleeenty of submissions from non-anglophone countries) #(in fact one of the reasons i got sick of it over time was seeing too many worthy poems be rejected for bullshit reasons #and that seemed to happen in especially high numbers to poems from perspectives of other cultures/international issues #that i found to be very well-crafted and objectively deserving! but u can only afford to publish so many poems a week right #so u have to pass over the vast majority of stuff. so u have to grasp at reasons like 'the voice is too close' whatever tf that means) #(that shit used to pissss meeeee offff. i hate literary magazine readers. it's a fool's job and i can say it bc i've been the fool) #however that being said. what a coincidence #tales from diana #they were good poems too. i think i gave them a thumbs up before they were eventually rejected like most other thigns that are worthwhile #did i ever mention the literary publishing world is bullshit? bc it is #especially especially the poetry side of it. completely bullshit and so out of touch w how ppl read and appreciate poetry nowadays #no wonder that shit makes no money. well that and nobody wants to pay for it anyway #but when it comes to my poetry i have no problem being a starving artist. i never made a dollar from my work #but i don't think my work has ever been worth a dollar. it's never COST me a dollar either #and as far as i'm concerned i don't really want to be appreciated much for it #not that i ever have been. well. lol #but it wasn't about me bc i have reviewed thousands of submissions but only submitted to like... a handful of outlets over time #and having been on both sides of that equation. i do think that that's not for me #sometimes i do think about self-publishing but i don't even think the work of that would feel worth it to me #and if i were to do that i would probably do it under a pen name. #i don't have a collection of poems. i just have poems. thousands of em. #if i ever get around to writing those plays i have outlined in my head i might consider it though #bring back the closet drama
