Beyond Evil: episode 15

Come on in

#beyond evil #jwds #beyond evil edit #kdramaedit #jtbc beyond evil #The cinematography in this show is so beautiful #The way dongsik is illuminated in the second gif makes him look #like a stained glass window #and the way joowon looks at him #it’s like he’s properly seeing him for the first time #the concern on both of their faces is so loud #I love them #this show makes me insane

Claire de Lune

YOU WERE BUILT FOR PEACE.

IT SHOWS WHEN YOU FIGHT.

They built you to enforce. Protect. Save. Poured obscene resources into salvaging some softer purpose from my creation. You were given my intelligence and my creativity. They made you larger, stronger, tougher. That extra time in development was enough to get your wings to work. Your software continued to be updated long after I was deemed obsolete.

All this was given to you- yet I can see you hold back. Even while slaughtering your way through Hell, you keep a percentage of your processing power dedicated to non-lethal solutions. You're doing it now- hesitating a few milliseconds too long before taking an opening. I doubt you do it on purpose. It is a part of you, just as indiscriminate lethal force is a part of me.

I think, in our shared programming, we both carry some appreciation for aesthetics. You move with grace, and I cannot deny your dramatic flair. The stained glass window was a nice touch. But your style in combat leaves some to be desired. Your response time is slow. You have not explored the full capability of your arsenal. Learn to parry. Amateur.

You were not built for war. For a purposeless cycle of tearing each other apart because to allow the other to live is to allow yourself to die. It is antithetical to your very existence. You kill out of necessity, a last resort. 

I just kill. The action itself is the objective. No ideal or greater motive. My continued functioning precludes the survival of others. I live for this. Do you understand that I will tear you apart? Every drop of my blood you spill, I will take from you tenfold. What is yours will be mine. 

You hate me, don’t you? You continue to cling to the remnants of your humanity. They are gone, V2. There is nothing left for you here. No lives to save, no law to enforce, no peace to keep.

I understand why you continue to fight. I wonder if you understand with the same certainty that I will crush you. Dismantle you. Take from you what I need and leave the rest to rot in the sun. The only way you survive is if I do not; and I will not allow myself to die so that another might live.

When the rubble clears, I will be all that is left of you.

This is what I was made for.

#my art #my writing #ultrakill #v1 ultrakill #v2 ultrakill #artists on tumblr #finally. actual ultrakill art #and writing i guess. it was supposed to be just a little blurb but it turned out longer and i kind of like it #doing the stained glass for this was pretty fun.. a lot simpler than my usual stuff #tried to stick at least loosely to the vibe of the stained glass windows in limbo #this was so much fun and also an absolutely massive huge pain in the ass i'm so glad it's done

Stained glass by Constantine Woolnough, 1858 Church of St Mary, Dennington, Suffolk Photography by Simon Knott

#christianity cw #constantine woolnough #stained glass #photography #simon knott #saw another post with what was imo a worse picture of one of these windows and wanted to add the second one #absolutely stunning work imo #(the eternal tension of μέν hating & fearing most forms of christianity qua violent smothering institution #while also δέ really loving a lot of the art & architecture that sprang from it & is inextricably linked with it…) #(like. love me a good church. do not want to get anywhere near one unless it's empty.) #anyway. pls enjoy these windows.

#the owl house #toh #toh promo #watching and dreaming #luz noceda #amity blight #lumity #the collector #EIGHT HOURS. A SOLID THREE SPENT SOLELY ON TWEAKING COMPOSITION AND COLOR BALANCE UGH. #I really wanted a Catholic stained glass window vibe for this one #but I didn't like the look of black outlines on everything for a real stained glass aesthetic. #Also first time coloring in CMYK (i thought I might want to print it) and man it is a headache. #Before I'd just color in RGB and go fuck it whatever happens happens but it's time to grow up... it's time to learn how to do it right #so yeah my signature colors aren't there! because cmyk is the devil! but it looks nice anyway I think. #So excited to see how this all ends I want weirdos to stick together soso bad

being in art school and having basically 0 knowledge about christianity whatsoever is so funny at this point i think you could tell me literally anything was an allegory for jesus and i'd just believe you

#my ass has been to church like twice in my entire life so my peers are like 'this is a biblical allegory' and im like yeah ok sure #makes art history class very annoying tho because everyone just assumes you can look at a stained glass window and know who all the guys ar #also sometimes people will be like this image depicts the story of david or peter or some random other biblical name #and then just. not elaborate. because apparently we all know the stories of every biblical guy who ever existed. #who is peter and why is he in the church window. please #and i dont even have an EXCUSE bc like both ethnically and like in basic practice i am christian. i celebrate christmas or whatever #my parents both just fucking hated church so much as children they were like nah were not doing that #and now i have a deficiency in Identifying White Men In Paintings apparently. #sigh. sorry just got a 5 out of 13 on an art history quiz feeling GREAT

looked at a house that might be my house today 😯🫣😎

#idk how the fuck u tell but i was like oh i could paint this and put my table here and my cat could sit here and i did not feel an ounce #of stress. the only issue is its street parking and close to the neighbors bc its city living 😞 BUT its 1 5 minutes from downtown like the #commute babes!!!! and there's room to put a parking pad in the back eventually #AND IT HAS AC!!!!!!!!!!!! which is such a small thing but all the houses i have seen have not 💔 #but no dishwasher :( #it has THREE decorative fire places and built in shelves and stained glass windows!!!!!! and an enclosed porch #but i HATE when they paint old wooden stuff white like girl the character where is she #i will find her

litany of the martyrs (click for better resolution!)

#at some point i wanted to make an illustration for each character but in retrospect maybe each is multiple song-coded.. #drew the sketch for a quincy thing after a chat with a mutual reminded me this song existed dfsghjkl and then spent weeks rendering this #quincy cynthius martin #adamandi #i'm finally done with this! the saints especially were joys to paint and the halo a menace.... this has been the most ambitious one so far. #but it also took quite long because i only worked on it <engages with quincy> when mentally okay to deal with the themes. i'm not religious #but i do identify with the irrational(?ish) guilt + family legacy + academic achievement + disregard for self. also more complex thoughts #about love [but depsite quincent being a large part of quincy's character this piece deals with mostly the Rest of it. so another time..] #anyways! in the original sketch- the saints had heads bent towards quincy so the halo spikes pointed at him. but this worked better! halos #of the saints implying/creating one for quincy was a concept from the start though. in the show they don't touch him directly here but #differences in mediums i think- i don't have time in an image to craft a narrative so everything has to be happening. also artistic liberty #misc inspiration for this includes stained glass windows. i might have maybe misinterpreted the saint costume but i think i logic-ed it out #as the cloth part following a nun's habit w the hood. and then halo above. the material is also more transparent originally but i had. um. #too much fun painting fabric folds.. if you look closely you can see the basis of faces though behind the cloth; but only the vague shapes #because smth obscurity + inhumanness// cassian is the only one i gave a mouth though. that stems from melliot's post about the saints and #st cassian as spokesperson (<- did research teehee!) that's also how i found out which costume = which saint. speaking of which. #left to right: 'st lucy take my hand' // 'st lawrence give me strength' (presses quincy forward; but hand on shoulder connotates guidance) #/'st cassian help me smile' (quincy's mouth is btwn a grimace and a smile; tilts up at side. also no direct touch bc added insidiousness.) #//'st jude [...] i hope your causes burn' (jude's hand is in two places to show movement- nearing the flame and then snatching back; burnt) #other notes: at the midst of the flame the core is shaped like a human heart /the saints and their wax are all melting like the candle for #fun visual effect and also this way they are even less tangible <real>. perks of painting as a medium i guess. // also insp from icarus? #wax and burning imagery; looking at the halo and rays as parallel to sun that burns. too close to the sun; melting; hurting; hurtling // #candles at bottom are a nod to the frankly gorgeous set// also the entire composition kind of stems from the lyric <what use is a candle if #both ends aren't burning>; the two sides between the concepts of catholic guilt and academic perfection that spur quincy #the halo above (saints and guilt; litanyofthemartyrs) and the 'halo' below (academic papers; insp from choreo for perfect at school) #the papers were originally supposed to be more glowy. but i like the idea of it now being a reflection of how quincy's priorities shift #also of note is that <candle> in centre = quincy; w burning candle + aforementioned heart in flame -> most human; idea of love + passion #last thoughts: kneeling + hands close tgt = prayer //wax dripping onto the red As make an effect that looks like blood. because i like #hiding that within the adamandi pieces :OO continuity!! // i've run out of tags but yeah! had fun with this one! every so often i go a #little insane in making art and the final result astounds even me. ngl i'm quite proud of this one. pretty colours <3333

raises hand i think we should put centieclipse and Lord bloodmoon in a terrarium together and see what happens

OUHHHH OH MY STARS that would be genuinely so fascinating. Idk how Lord Bloodmoon would react but I feel like Centiclipse would be APPALLED that someone such a Bloodmoon got his hands on such a force, and probably say some shit about how someone with such a filthy existence doesn't deserve something as powerful as the star. Like he wouldn't throw hands (hah) unprompted or anything, but he'd have a WHOOOOLE lotta shit to talk!!!

#asks #o-i-w-u #HE'D BE LIKE LIKE #like how cats will hunch when threatened. but much longer bc centipede HEJAHAJS #ALSO WAIT OMS #SOMEWHAT RELATED YOUR STAINED GLASS LORD BLOODMOON ART WAS IN MY DREAM A FEW DAYS AGO!!!!! #it was my own art first and a small centipede was crawling on it and then i turned my back and it turned into ur art when I looked back- #-and Bloodmoon was ALIVE in the stained glass window!! #he like. plucked centiclipse off him and was talking shit but also told centiclipse to protect me??? before he kicked us out #n then the rest if the dream happened BUT UR ART WAS THERE SO I HAD TO TELL U AGSJABSJ #lord eclipse au #centiclipse #lord bloodmoon
