a year of drawing this asshole

(aside from june i barely drew anything at all in june ig)

Not necessarily my most impressive pieces from each month but it's still fun to see myself gradually get more creative with style and general fuckery

sorry #posting again but it's been on my mind cuz i once again saw a post and i just. really really hate the way this bit is so often taken out of context to make her out to be dismissing and belittling him just cuz she felt like it, because a lot of the story does hinge on the fact that this was in fact a reasonable worry

heathcliff of course has reasons to take it personally, but the context of the entire canto tells you why this was a problem to begin with. we also see it during the rest of the game, cuz he mellows out as the cantos go, but we can't forget at the start he was out there killing his coworkers. then in canto vi we get more about it. nelly starts here jokingly:

but by the end she's very serious about it:

the cycles of abuse is ofc one of the main themes in the canto, like in the book where heathcliff assumes for the second generation the role of their own hindley; in game he's growing both in the shadows of hindley and of his other mirror selves. but it can't really be ignored that the problem WAS there and he was shaping up to be just like them (a person used to violence to the point even someone as close to him as the woman who raised him had reason to believe he might hurt her!) and that catherine is discussing it in the hopes of figuring out a way to give him a place to heal and grow out of that absolute hell that was growing up in the heights. it just feels really weird to always discuss that part as if catherine was being cruel for no reason, when heathcliff himself admits that he left because he feared he'd murder her

instead by the time of the canto, while hindley, linton and nelly all comment on him not having changed, he continously chooses to be the better man, avoiding unnecessary fighting, lending a hand to people in danger, and ofc standing strong against the erlking's provocations and attempt to turn our heathcliff into another just like him, to continue the same cycle.

BUT it's important that back then he was a person who wouldn't have done that, a person who would have hurt his loved ones, and that what he had in mind was taking revenge on them- because he grew past that in the course of the story, then that character development is much more meaningful. and that's also why it's so important to all the people around him, who had seen him start to go down that same path as hindley, to become the worst version of himself--

because in the end he didn't become like that! he did change and become that better person, and they noticed!

im so sick of americans still acting like 9/11 was the worst thing that has ever happene in america. what about the fucking slave trade? colonialism, erasing cultures of the native people? how about the *current* things we can look at instead. discrimination, bigotry, hello?? so what some foreign people blew up some towers or whatever. yall act lile that justifies the continued discrimination of any POC.

I’m sorry but if you think KSM should be given a plea deal and NOT be executed for masterminding the murder of nearly 3,000 innocent Americans, your understanding of justice is warped and skewed and unbiblical beyond belief

It's not Rita and Gira first time talking to each other but I always feel like that because every time it's business 😂

Rita confusing Gira with legal jargon on top of bending the rules to mean "you can go kick his ass" + Yanma translating again 💜❤️💙

how many years has kaya been alive by the time she meets aeren (and/or how many years has the universe existed)?

aeren, reading a book: sometimes u act like ur the older sibling man kaya, making dinner: [snorts] good one aeren, mentally: this is humorous because she is so much younger than me and she is aware of this kaya, mentally: this is humorous because he is so much younger than me and he is aware of this
