People wonder how Alexander was such a strategic genius...well I'm sure he had a lot of "brainstorming" sessions ;^)
Drawing these guys is so fun and it's like I'm in my own fandom, making food for only myself. Just a one man fandom ='D

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best

‘You must tell me when I say the Persian wrongly. Don’t be afraid to correct me, or I shall never learn.’
I said I had thought he would never love me. I did not beg him to take me with him wherever he was going; I did not think so far. I was like a traveler in the desert,who comes to water.

In an interesting turn of events, now I'm into a certain historic era. A friend approach me with a story based on historic personas, namely Alexander The Great and his Persian lover, Bagoas the eunuch.
I didn't know much about these people and I was instantly intrigued. Alexander had a Persian boy as a lover? Oooooh the drama. The angst. The tragedy.
So here we are. I'm in love with Bagoas. The beautiful eunuch with a tragic life. My friend and I really want to tell his story someday, from our perspective since the stories about Alexander is always told from a Greek perspective. It's time Persians do something as well!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Your kitten is lovely,
And so are you.
Orchids are white,
Clovers are rare,
Your pier is long,
And so is your hair.
Sunflowers reach,
Up to the skies,
Your hair is beautiful,
And so are your eyes.
Foxgloves in hedges,
Surround the farms,
Courage is manly,
And so are your arms.
Daisies are pretty,
Lilacs have style,
A morning is sunny,
And so is your smile.

I have a question for the Alexander the Great Netflix series
WHERE THE FUCK IS BAGOAS?
Finally Alexander gets to kiss Hephaistion, but where is his (and Darius') persian boy?
We are now finally able to acknowledge that this blonde european prince conquered half the known world while having sex with other men, but we still cant admit that his asian adversary who ruled the largest empire the world had ever seen also liked to bed boys? Come on...
If you call Alexander a gay or bi icon, the same is true for Darius. No idea why netflix showed the one thing but not the other? Persian culture has a long homoerotic tradition, very likely as long as greek culture.

When you draw people from two different cultures you cannot not do an outfit swap. So I put Alexander in an Achaemenid Shahanshah outfit, and gave a Bagoas greek look. I can't get over how good Bagoas looks omg 🥹
