I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles

“Honestly? I was eating Pj Puffs and he just skittered on up and popped a squat.”

#I’m giving them Dune worm mouths #their jaws do work but they don’t have a lot of bite force #their sort of scavengers like vultures but with a pack hunting strategy of wolves #they open the cap mouth and you just hear the sounds of a pencil sharpener #phrart #art #Thingposting #ask the three d’s #the three d’s #poppy playtime #catnap poppy playtime #thing poppy playtime #smiling critters

‘Is there a point to any of this or do you just want to see how much more I can take?’ snaps Crassus. ‘Oh, I knew there was still some bite left in you,’ says Cethegus, thrilled. Cethegus teaches Crassus the art of politics and the ways of business. Sulla is not a fan.

#WAHOO i had a lot of fun writing the comic arc for these three #absolute nightmare dynamic from hell #cethegus has a line trying to figure out what crassus likes before realizing that it's less a matter of preference and more that sulla #got to him first. and you never forget. uh. the guy who unmakes you and leaves you rendered raw or something #like everything after is this weird intersection of love and hate and revisiting old wounds because they're familiar and feel like home #AU cethegus chokes crassus with a rosary because sulla choked him with a chain necklace that had his patron saint on it #same thing. you can never go back home but you can press on the bruise and the satisfaction is the same #tldr; crassus is just so fucking weird about sulla it is in the marrow of his bones. odi et amo. outliving someone is the ultimate payback #build on top of their bones like they built on top of you. #hang on. what is it. lucullus calling pompey a vulture. same with sulla and crassus only crassus won't say it #he'll kick out pompey's legs from under him for doing the same thing tho. only one person gets to treat you like that and so forth #komiks tag #drawing tag #roman republic tag #publius cornelius cethegus #lucius cornelius sulla felix #marcus licinius crassus #that other guy with crassus is cassius' father probably. or some guy. there are so many guys #OH cethegus is kind of driving a knife into the sulla shaped hole in crassus' ribcage by greeting him while he's out with sulla #he's doing that on purpose. it's like. it's fine. he's also doing it to annoy sulla. #what are sulla's feelings on the matter? well. he's responsible for the eyebrow scar crassus has. so. #hi to everyone who read these tags. crassus is a psychosexual mess. please clap for sulla.

#more beak under the cut #mandibuzz #i forgot this thing's name when i was trying to write its tag. i had to go look it up #but i remembered vullaby's bc it's just. vulture. baby. vullaby. mandibuzz doesn't mean anything to me #besides like. mandibles. buzz #shut up buzz i'll kill you… #damnit i can't believe i just referenced that video. it's the stupidest video on the planet and now it's here in the tags

(SPIDERVERSE SPOILERS)

Something I always really liked about the first movie was the way Kingpin’s design, besides being a Sienkewicz homage and all, complimented the handling of Fisk as a character and the threat he poses, and it’s more than just him being big and terrifying especially by contrast with Miles. Spiderverse Kingpin is a hate volcano tearing open the city and universe in the hopes that doing so is gonna get him his family back, get the only thing that can fill the void inside him that they left when they died, and nothing else matters. Kingpin takes up so much space everytime he’s on screen that every second of screentime he shares with another character is overpowering by default, and the wholly black suit makes it so that everytime Fisk shows up, the movie’s colors and style and everything it has, it all gets punctured to leave room only for him, to the point that in the final battle with Miles, Fisk might as well be part of the background multiverse debris overtaking and suffocating everything.

Doc Ock and Prowler get to have the fun, of sorts, they get to have colors and styles and cool fights, the movie has no shortage of vibrant and lively and colorful characters, but Fisk himself is a walking casket and little else, basic and banal even compared to other versions of the character. He is the Sydney Greenstreet gangster of old blown up to astronomical proportions befitting a danger to the entire entire multiverse, not so much an enemy for Miles specifically as he is one to Spider-Man the concept, The Ultimate Gangster as someone who couldn’t deal with grief responsibly and has to make it everyone else’s problem (that also being kind of an apt description for Miguel O’Hara, who both triples down on the “all-encompassing grief as poison that harms not just you but those around you” part and is also a much more sympathetic character trying his damndest to do the right thing).

It’s only for a few seconds in his flashback that we see what he looks like with colors, and textures, and a little bit of warmth on his face in the life he had, before his family died running away from him, trying to escape The Black Hole Monster that he is. Figuratively, Fisk is not so much a person, as he is a a person-shaped hole in things, losing what little claim he has to personhood right when his family, and all the families he could ever have, leave him again and so he has nothing left but to take away other people’s families.

And I emphasize that figuratively, because it turns out they decided to turn that into a literally, for the villain in the sequel.

The first movie’s villain was a lifeless thug threatening to undo everything and everyone as collateral damage to try and fill the all-consuming void in his soul. The sequel had exactly that, except we got to see The Spot work to get there in real time and on purpose. And so instead of a generalized enemy to Spider-Man, the hero Miles is trying to be, we get the enemy to Miles Morales, the person he is.

The Spot, funnyman nerd sidekick to the previous villain’s number two, just a gag character without even a name to him that we didn’t even know was there, was pushed every step of the way by the frustration of being perceived and put down as a wannabe never-will-be, driven to uncover the multiverse and make himself noticed and respected by his peers, (like a certain someone who was going to define his entire career prospects around the possibility of getting to meet his spidery friends again, and then they did that to him)

turning out to be a anomaly that was never supposed to be and is hunted as such, their spite nipping at their heels to push them forward, twisting themselves to be free from the expectations and scorn of potential-peers-turned-enemies.

And so at the end, obviously Miles must face the worst version of himself, before he can face the worst version of himself, and it has to be right after he finally understands what he’s up against, his own nemesis, and it has to be right after he declares, after embracing himself as a fugitive and someone-that-shouldnt-be-but-will-anyway,

“I beat them all“

I’m glad the appreciation for skulls and other vulture culture aspects are starting to catch more people’s attention, but it sucks because it’s just turned into people bulk buying skulls off dropshipping websites and then reselling them at double the price at an art/craft show. It just feels wrong.

#I feel there’s a huge difference between scavenging and preserving the bones/fur/ect that would otherwise go to waste is cool #but when it just turns into another thing you order in large bulks and you don’t even KNOW where the bodies are sourced it just sucks #vulture culture #I keep going to craft shows and seeing skulls and being like oh!!! where did you find these!! #and they’re just like oh I order them off aliexpress :)) #come on man.

No cause the moment they discover Spidey is barely in his 20s, like hasn’t even reached it, their perspective changes wildly.

This isn’t some annoying dude fucking with them anymore, this is a kid with a sense of justice and they respect the bravery it takes to come out here as a child and fight the likes of them. Even if they find it incredibly dumb and overly self-sacrificial. They don’t throw their punches but they miss more. Their plans are just as dire but straight forward, easier to thwart. Not intentionally, just the subconscious thought and agreement they don’t want to be the one specifically responsible for death of a child. 

Like imagine in battle Spidey sacrifices himself and they all just gotta be like “Yeah we did it!” for like the news only for the inside of their heads to be like “That is a child.”
