There is an Iranian drama called Mortal Wound. It's a mystery series loosely adapted from Macbeth. It's an amazing show. The second season called Mortal Wound, return had been aired for a while now and I finally got a chance to watch it. The second season is also a Shakespearean adaptation. It's loosely adapted from Hamlet. I watched the first episode. It was BRILLIANT!!! I really liked how they fit the plots of these two tragedies together. I loved how they picked small details from those plays and build the characters dynamics on. I could actually tell which characters meant to be who. I haven't watched the rest of it yet but it seems to be very promising.

Requiem
Despite the undergrowth and tangles of thorns, he was unimpeded in his search. His target was moving slowly if at all, he knew without seeing. Young adult. Female. Bleeding. Wounded deeply. The scent of blood wasn't what guided him to her, but the scent of inescapable death. This was his purpose, his very reason for being. He was hated for it. Feared, despised, cursed upon. And blamed. Few would hear the stories he had to tell, but he never let himself forget even one.
When he wrapped his hand around her, she finally began to cry, giving up her efforts to contain her exposed innards. "You know what I am."
"The bringer of death."
"No."
She said nothing more to him, nor he to her, and they were enveloped in silence as he carried her. The pond was full of skeletons, the men and women and children he had carried to their rest for decades. He set her into the water, gently washing her face and hands even as she bled into the water.
"I do not bring death," he said, stroking her cheek. "I remember it."
As she began falling away from the world, he took her hands in his, and began to sing. Through this song he knew her, lifting her soul to the sky as her body ceased all motion.
Few would hear the stories he had to tell, but he never let himself forget even one.

the thing about steve harrington is that he's one of the most compelling characters of all time. he starts the show an extremely popular jock and now he's got two friends: a girl he had a crush on that turned out to be a lesbian and a fourteen year old. the only fight he's ever won in his life was against a soviet spy. he keeps a bat full of nails in his car. he barely graduated high school. he beat up a racist. he's terrible at flirting. he has daddy issues. he spends an entire season wearing a little sailor outfit, hat included. and he's even bisexual

'Good old Jack-I knew you would come!' said a dying soldier to his friend
‘Good old Jack-I knew you would come!’ said a dying soldier to his friend
In the War, two friends were out with a night patrol together. When the party returned under heavy fire to their trenches, one of the friends was found to be missing. By this time it was getting light, and almost certain death to be out on top, but the one friend insisted on crawling out to look for the other, and reluctantly the officer gave permission. He was watched slowly working his way into…

Gosh it’s huge shame that I cannot seem to finish this drawing I’ve been working on for months all because I cannot figure out how LIGHTING WORKS ON THE BODY (cropped body to the left and above head) … Anyway, here’s the only “completed” portion of the drawing… Yeah it’s Johnny Cage, hope it still looks like him.
DONT COME AT ME WITH ANATOMY, life’s hard without references. I’ll do more studies for sure
Also college has been slowing down my art motivation 😭 I’ll try my best to draw random doodles of the characters I love! Who would you guys like to see though?

A thought I had today...come walk with me...
If Talanah had stayed at the base in HFW--as we now know was the original plan--one would assume that the flower would still be her gift for Aloy after finishing her Companion Quest™, just like the rest of the gang. Which by itself is enough to make me wanna put my head through walls until I pass out, but also consider--
What might Aloy's comment have been the first time she scanned it?
"I'm really glad Talanah stayed. It seems like it's cheering her up after everything. Makes me happy to get to spend more time with her, too."
