I am not a god.

I am prideful, hotheaded and foolish -

- and I'm doing what I must.

When you report back to the Inquisitor,

say that I am sorry.

Whiteboard from the AvAM community

Red may have been purple in antiquity, as the Greeks had a very different conception of colour to ours. For instance, they had no word for true blue. Was Clytemnestra’s carpet purple, or was it crimson? Was the imperial purple, in fact, red? Let us believe that Clytemnestra wove a crimson carpet for Agamemnon – blood red with a touch of blue in the blood. When he stepped on this first carpet he committed the sin of hubris, and was murdered. Red carpets lead to assassination. Revolutions die in their own red. Have you ever stepped on a red carpet? Felt the pomp and circumstance? Before it was pulled from under your feet? Red betrays.

'do you have a shameful art past?'

like every 10 year old (in the early 2000s on deviantart) i used to trace manga panels and colour them in lmao (so much one piece tracing LOL) and i used a lot of 'bases' on deviantart to make ref sheets for my crappy ocs. not sure if that's 'shameful' as learning to draw is SO tough that i think everyone references/traces/colour picks as a child or young teen in order to gain the vaguest foundation of 'knowledge' that they then can build on.

Colour picking (like recently...during photo studies) was literally how I made the power of mid-tone greys 'unlock' in my head despite being told countless times 'if you desaturate a colour it'll appear grey next to its more saturated chroma' it never clicked until I did some dirty colour picking and saw the pattern emerging countless times. 'hmm maybe those dang art books are right'

where’s that post where it’s like “the best thing they can do is release the prologue and then shut down so we’re left wondering what their plan was” it hasn’t happened yet but it seems topical

[sharkface-daydreams]

thinking about the tonal misalignment between Sharkface's grievances with and vengeant crusade against the freelancers with the almost flippant death the writers gave him

why

why would you put all this weight behind his narrative and his grief only to be like 'lol and then we shot him and moved on haha c'mon laugh' like no i will not?? if he'd been a cartoon villain hell bent on causing pain for fun, because he liked it, if his character had been previously treated with that same levity we wouldn't be getting that tonal whiplash right now. and for a severe tonal shift to be funny, well. i can't tell you what it requires but i know you ain't done it right.

as if in at least three past seasons you didn't fold a former villain into your tornado of insanity and friendship despite then trying to kill the main crew. as if two of those former 'villains' aren't the ones staring down the barrel of their own mistakes committed under the direction of a corrupt military prog —

...... you fucking killed him because you didn't want to have to deal with holding wash and Carolina accountable for what they'd done. this is actually repeated in season 15 with the blues and reds. I'm
