#such self restraint

[destinationtoast]

Fandom conversations in the wild, #167

a.k.a., He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where, what's his name, the angry guy

Me, while getting lab work done today: ooh, that is a really cute figurine collection! who are those lil guys?

Phlebotomist #1, examining my veins: oh, those are a band that our other coworker is really into.

Phlebotomist #2, watching and learning: yeah, she's um, like, REALLY into them. *laughs a little like she is slightly uneasy with her coworker's level of enthusiasm* but you might not have heard of them.

Me, counting 7 figurines: I might have.

Phlebotomist #2: they're called BTS.

Me: *quietly boggling at the idea that I wouldn't have at least heard of them* yeah! I know them.

Phlebotomist #2: oh! well, cool. are you, um, into any bands or anything?

Me: I used to be. but right now I mostly just get obsessed about TV.

Phlebotomist #1: ooh. what TV are you most into right now?

Me: I usually go more for fantasy or sci-fi, but right now I'm super into Ted Lasso.

Phlebotomist #2: oh yeah? I've heard good th--

Phlebotomist #1: OH MY GOD, HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE TED, THOUGH?! he's just, like, so upbeat and cheerful, but then it's a facade, partly, but then -- just oh my god he's so great!!

Me: YES

Phlebotomist #1: okay okay okay okay, but my absolute favorite? the one I really love? is... um... who's the angry one?

Me: ROY --

Me and Phlebotomist #1, in unison: ROY KENT!! YES!!! He's here, he's there -- *both dissolving into giggles*

Phlebotomist #2: *blinking and realizing we might be, like, REALLY into this character*

#ted lasso #roy kent #toasty life #fandom conversations in the wild #is not a series i've actually tagged previously #but i should have #i refrained from saying #i have a roy-friend #and we have a discord chat we informally titled #unhinged about roy kent #and i've written tens of thousands of words in his pov #or #but have you ever imagined him having sex with jamie and keeley together tho? #or that i have an old friend i've been bonding with again recently #because of our mutual obsession with this show and kinky sex #such self restraint #;) #50

tfw u're on the verge of tears bc too many people are talking at once

sketchdump (again, mostly tim, bc even when i dont set out to draw him, i end up drawing him anyway):

dick & tim from gotham knights issues #8-10 have my whole heart

my friend got me a new pen:

and i've been reading a lot of upswings and havendance's fics where tim keeps showing up at people's apartments, as is his due (let him in!!)

tim using his cape as an emergency blanket!!

this stupid image has been haunting me for months:

if it wasn't clear from honeypot and the red dress comic, i like a very specific aesthetic

i wanted a red hood charm too:

(chibi catwoman tim from a old, larger spread "the latex spread" that i absolutely cannot post the full version of o7)

some really ancient doodles (proof that long hair tim has been important to me since the beginning):

roughs of my red dress comic:

#sart #dc #tim drake #dick grayson #bruce wayne #helena bertinelli #jason todd #(sorry i need those character tags for organizational purposes) #see a smart person would keep these for when theyre inevitably too busy and tired to draw but i dont have that kind of self-restraint

Danny was being harassed in broad daylight.

He can’t get the guy to take a hint and frankly he’s going to be late for his new job if he can’t get through the door.

Just when he was starting to think that he would have to hit him, a hand gently rested on his shoulder.

“Hey Chum sorry it took me so long to get here but traffic was a killer! Is this man bothering you?”

Turns out His boss Bruce Wayne is actually a nice man.

Too bad Gotham gossips worst than a small town.

Seriously guys, this isn’t funny, it stopped being funny the third time he got picked out of a crowd as the “new Wayne.”

WRITE THAT DOWN! #Bruce is gripping his self restraint mentally every time this new hire is in his eyesight #his kids would have a field day if he adopted a new recruit with black hair and blue eyes #when your fake dad accidentally becomes your real dad through osmosis #writting prompt

i'm still thinking about how aziraphale is the strongest entity in the entire universe for not just climbing into crowley's lap or sinking to his knees between his legs when he did THIS

#what if iroh's obsession was hugs instead of tea #zuko would get his trauma hugged out of him within three weeks #enough touch starved zuko #iroh shouldn't have the self restraint to NOT hug his fav nephew #stop it uncle its the fifth time today!! i know you love me!!! #atla zuko #zuko #avatar the last airbender #atla #iroh #atla iroh #fanart #art #umossu

DO NOT BE AFRAID

this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.

I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!

idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

Troy as trauma: Reflections on intergenerational transmission and the locus of trauma, Andromache Karanika

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

The Excidium Troie + Ovid's Heroides:

Excidium Troie, trans. Muhammad Syarif Fadhlurrahman

Ovid, Heroides 16 (trans. Harold Isbell)

a collection of things regarding Paris that made me go 😬 but under a cut bc this is getting. very long.

The Divine Twins in Early Greek Poetry, Corolla Torontonensis

Iliad 24 and the Judgement of Paris, C.J. Mackie

Elegy and Epic and the Recognition of Paris: Ovid "Heroides" 16, Elizabeth Forbis Mazurek

Ennian Influence in "Heroides" 16 and 17, Howard Jacobson

Paris/Alexandros in the "Iliad", I. J. F. de Jong

#long post #paris of troy #komiks tag #it's all greek to me #like. DISTANTLY. its #the iliad #drawing tag #listen i know it's fun to dunk on paris. but im a chronic killjoy. i know its cringe. mea culpa etc #i would love. I WOULD LOVE. to draw a comic and not have the commentary notes be longer than the comic itself #unfortunately i like to read and i cannot stop talking about things that i read. so this will not be changing. #ngl i keep hearing the last line 'my brother says you are a just judge' as 'and brutus says he is an honorable man' and that's smth for sur #god i wish this was shorter but then i remember it could've been longer bc i started drawing this while watching #some excellent korean horror but then i looked at myself in the mirror and said 'no. get your shit together.' #but that show is what sparked this. the themes. god i love shows. a round of applause for tv shows. #in a different world theres a version of me that didn't exercise self restraint and there's 30 screen caps from a horror show here too
