One time in school some guy was doing a presentation on the Hercules constellation. They said the constellation was named after "Hercules the God of strength and son of Zeus and Hera".

There is so much wrong with that sentence it physically hurts. They definitely used the Disney movie as there source.

They say that he sent you, but what does that mean?

“Um… Whatcha got there?”

Me, who’s spent the last 3 months drawing nothing but cows: “…A smoothie?”

An update into what I’ve been doing in between ask’s/comics, one of which is still a wip! Trying to finish designing a bunch of characters who have been in limbo for a few years, and picking back up the Busts project I started back in like. 2020/2021. I plan on getting another Ask answered this week however! i

This was a school project that I went all out on, and I spent way to much time on it.

It was supposed to be a movie poster for a hypothetical movie adaptation for a chapter in The Odyssey.

The face at the top and the casting are just little jokes I added to be silly, so don't mind those.

Anyways, yeah 😎

Hah I don’t have favorite oc’s what are you talking about?!?

* hides my favorite ocs as I’m too shy to talk about them but one picture lands on the floor as I make a getaway*

Maybe repost with your favorite ocs???

I may not be the best at realism but that will not stop me from drawing statues in my realism class

anyways, this is of a statue of Dionysos, this time not one of the ones I took a pic of. I don’t even know what era it’s from because I was really just trying to find ones that don’t require too much detail for the timeframe I was working in. I was just like “pretty? Pretty! Lemme try”. The project was high contrast and working from a dark background. I used black and white prismacolor verithins.

sometimes i see people proposing educational approaches that may well be appropriate for most students but would have been/were absolute hell for me personally and i'm just like. genuinely unsure whether that constitutes a meaningful flaw in the approach or whether it's just like, welp, it would work for most kids, sucks to be you

[paranormeow7]

i do believe that part in antigone in which creon is like why!!! why do you want to bury this man, this man who brought war, who went against me, who- and the first thing antigone does is remind him that polynices was not only NOT a stranger but her brother is very sad but um. kind of funny if you think about it. like it's disheartening because yeah, she's telling him that she's going to do it BECAUSE he's family and she doesn't care if she's dooming herself, but at the same time that's the thing: she's already doomed. she's also reminding him about exactly what family they're talking about!! like dude!!! read the room!!!! you're in thebes!!!!!!! literally this is antigone reminding him about their current & unavoidable family situation:

[hiraya-vesperine]

my dearest, eurydice,

your eyes will never have the chance to read this letter. your hands will never again be intertwined with mine. your lips, the sweetest nectar no flower or fruit could ever compare — i will never have the privilege of tasting ever again. your voice, the embodiment of heaven's choir, continues to echo in the chambers of my mind: "farewell", isn't that such a cruel word? why must the hands of fate lead us to such a tragic ending, my love?

my heart stubbornly repeats your name in a never-ending cycle: eurydice, eurydice, eurydice. my companion in life and death. the dearest one who holds my heart. the half of my very soul. oh, how I yearn to gaze upon your lovely eyes once more, to embrace you dearly and whisper divine worship against your lips.

i fear insanity will soon take hold of me. overwhelming regret fills me as I cry bitter tears in vain. why did I look back? had I not been so foolish and thought more rationally, then perhaps you would be here, safe and warm under the covers of our bed. we had been so close to daylight — yet now, my life is a never ending winter of coldness and defeat.

to death, i extend my lonely hand. life is without meaning without your head nestled in the crook of my neck, your dulcet voice humming along to the melody that i strum. hades, if you hear me, let me plead with you once more — take the weary soul of this grieving lover, and piece it back with its other half.

we experienced excruciating pain and faced a lamentable ending; we deserve a soft epilogue, my love. wait for me, i will be with you soon.

till we meet again,

orpheus

Literary Adaptation for class yay!

Adaptation: Eros and Psyche

(BTW y'all this is a class project I made with a few friends. This contains social issues. Trigger warning for those who are uncomfortable with Unplanned Pregnancies and attempted Abortion)

ENJOY!!

Character changes: - Eros is now Alejandro

First Scene: A sudden loud snap of a film board filled the studio—

 "CUT!" said the director with his voice expressing disdain.

A sigh lets out from the main actress as the director asks her to get close to him. "Psyche darling, how many cuts is this going to take? I believe I told you to say your line a bit more sensually? Your character is the rather seductive type after all". Psyche looks at the director with a strained smile and nods along with his wishes.

 "Oh dear~ However could I repay you, my savior!" she acts out the scene with more sensual appeal, finally making the director pleased.

As numerous hours passed from filming, Psyche finally went home in exhaustion "I don't know why I must act so sensual in a regular scene. I'm a person too, you know!" she exclaimed in annoyance to her assistant who just so happens to be in the middle of checking her upcoming schedules "I mean it's how we, women, are viewed in this society I guess? There's nothing we can do, really. They just think of us as mere eye-candy and then go ahead ‘n toss us away after we do our role" the assistant said with a rigid sigh. A loud ‘ting!’ echoed in the room from the assistant’s work phone “Speaking of eye-candy, just got a message from one of the casting directors about a possible role on his upcoming movie” She said with a lazy grin on her face as she checks the messages for any additional information “It seems to be about a movie called “Two-Faced Lover” where the main character actually has a similar vibe to your current role” she told Psyche who is already pouting over having to play another sensual character “*sigh* I don’t know why I must do these types of character tropes but if the media loves it then it’s good money” Psyche lets out an exasperated sigh as she talks about the possible storyline of the movie with her assistant. 

Days turn into weeks and then months when finally Psyche gets a call from her assistant when she was getting her make-up done for the final filming of her current movie “So according to the message that was sent to me regarding the movie, there seems to be a party for the cast members to get to know each other before filming” she told Psyche who looks excited to meet her future cast members “So that party will be held in this venue with the theme ballroom dancing”.  The day of the party rolls around and as she walks in the room with her assistant in tow “I can’t believe that I’m actually meeting my castmates today! This is so exciting!” she exclaims with excitement as she gracefully greats the crowd of people who noticed her. It was like the world stopped when she made eye contact with one of her future castmates.

Second Scene: Alejandro, a fellow castmate and lead actor smiled back at her. It was as if he knew what she was thinking. Alejandro was a rather attractive man, in fact, more attractive than any of Psyche’s past romantic partners. Maybe his alluring looks are what attracted her. Nevertheless, Alejandro was the first to approach her. Psyche was taken back for a second and said “Hello…!” in a befuddled voice.

“Don’t be so stiff with me Psyche… we’re going to be together for a long time after all. We’re even of the same age” he said while giving her looks from down ‘till up.

Psyche’s back stiffened once more and Alejandro noticed this as he got a glass of wine from the table beside them. He offers it to Psyche with a friendly smile and she accepts it since she can’t refuse a drink from someone of a higher position than her. Psyche starts getting tipsy after taking a sip because she’s weak to alcohol and her shoulders and back unstiffen.

The night starts moving faster than daylight as both Alejandro and Psyche drink and talk all on a couch throughout the party. It was as if they were both in their own bubble; no one could burst it. No one could approach them. Psyche and Alejandro were having the most joyous conversations. It was as if they were catching up with an old friend they haven’t seen in decades. Kind of ironic to say since both are young though. Although it was almost only Psyche carrying the conversation while Alejandro was listening to more than half the time. There were flirtatious comments here and there because of all the alcohol both were drinking. 3... 4… 5… glasses of wine were consumed in a flash. After a while, silence filled the room. It was already past midnight but many of the staff were still there. All of a sudden Alejandro touches Psyche’s hand, which was out in the open, stares into her eyes, and asks her “Want to get out of here?” with a faint but alluring voice and smile. Psyche is once again taken aback by this view of a man she barely knows. In a daze, she looks down and hesitantly agrees.

Alejandro drags her out of the door and to a nearby hotel. Nothing much was said throughout that particular night.

The next day she wakes up startled. Psyche looks down and sees herself naked. Everything that happened yesterday night was almost a complete blur. Trying her best to remember what happened that night, she looks to the side of the white fluffy bed she was currently on and realizes that the man she was with the night before disappeared as fast as he appeared.

The shooting for “Two-Faced Lover” was going smoothly as a few months passed. Alejandro never brought up the subject of what happened that night so Psyche did the same. Instead, there were only pleasantries and polite ‘business smiles’ exchanged ever since then. But, Psyche noticed something else since that particular night. She’s been feeling more fatigued and nauseous. There were even times when she would vomit after work. Psyche’s assistant takes notice of what's happening to her and asks her if there was anything happening. Psyche replies that she’s just feeling fine— “The winter flu is getting to me is all…” Her assistant refused to believe what she was saying and all of a sudden Psyche collapsed to the ground. The assistant immediately shouts in distress as she asks the staff surrounding them to call an ambulance.

A siren is heard slowly approaching the shooting area they were in. Psyche is instantly brought in the ambulance as the paramedic exclaims “Are you okay Ms. Psyche? Do not worry, you are in good hands!”. Psyche’s vision slowly fades out into darkness.

Psyche wakes up on the hospital bed. She looks around the hospital room realizing that she was not at the shooting area she was supposed to be in. In a panic, she tries to get up from the bed to go to work but her assistant grabs her hand and tells her “Please calm down Psyche! You fainted, please rest!”

“What happened to me..?” Psyche asks while regaining her composure.

The doctor in the room tells Psyche to sit back down on her hospital bed and proceeds to ask her if she was prepared to hear it. She nods and the doctor breathes in deeply.

“You are pregnant Ms. Psyche” the doctor says in a professional manner.

Psyche stares at the doctor and pauses for a moment. 

“I can’t believe this… It’s like something out of a drama movie! Goodness, this is what exactly happens in Two-Faced Lover” Psyche thought in her head. She was trembling with both joy and fright for what the future can bring while softly touching her stomach.

Third Scene: In a small closet room, two people conversed as if they wanted to keep this talk a secret.

“ What did you just say?” The man called Alejandro was furious about what Psyche had to say to him. His normal persona of a flirtatious man was replaced with a man whose eyes were only filled with rage. Looks that could easily make you beg for mercy.

“I said I’m pregnant and who else could be the father but you?” The other person in the room, a woman called Psyche said with both joy and fright in her voice. As she was scared by the look of her coworker that’s usually nice and warm to talk to.

Thinking back on her past memories, the only person the father could be was Alejandro because—

“We slept together, didn't we!??” she shouted at him. “The day we went out to drink, the day we slept in the same bed, that was the cause of it rig-”

Alejandro cut her off without finishing and said “Calm down Psyche, we don’t want anyone to hear us alright?” He looked at her with a warning tone in his voice.

He didn’t mean for this to happen, it was all just a play for him. That he could just spend with whatever women he liked because his mom would just clean up the mess for him.

Well, that didn’t turn out so well, didn’t it?

“Psyche, dear, can you not go around telling everyone that your child’s father is me? Better yet, do you really want to keep the child? I mean it could scar both of our careers you know.” Alejandro said with a sickly sweet tone in his voice. As if he’s talking down to a child who's done wrong. 

“But I want to keep the child! I want to take care of this child that I have!” Psyche replied to Alejandro with determination in her innocent eyes.

Alejandro sighed, “Psyche, please, I can’t deal with this right now, do you even remember that I already have a significant other, to begin with?” 

“Ah, that's!-” Psyche gasped.

“So please please, won’t you do as I say?” he said to her with a begging tone in his voice. Though if one can look closely, there was a slight glint in his eyes.

And Psyche noticed that.

“You’re a horrible person, forcing me to do what you want!” She cried.

Alejandro doesn’t care that Psyche thinks he’s a horrible person because what can she do? She is famous of course but he's the son of two authority figures so really what can she really do?

The answer is nothing. Nothing but a blow to her career and her lifestyle so the best possible outcome for her is to listen to whatever he says.

Psyche thought about Alejandro for a while. How he seemed so friendly, so nice, and in the end, she just got used and now it’s ruining her life. Then, She made a decision. With a fiery and passionate look in her eyes, she said 

“Fine, I won’t tell you’re the father but I at least want to keep the child, I want to make them have a loving and caring childhood so that they can grow up to be an honest and kind person, unlike some people.” 

The unsubtle insult makes Alejandro twitch his eyebrows. “Tch. Fine. As long as we keep it a secret, okay my dear Psyche?”

“Fine.” No other words were said.

“There you guys are! We’ve been looking all over for you two!” A man came up to them. 

Right, the shooting, they both forgot about it.

“No worries! We were just practicing our lines, right Psyche?” Alejandro lied too easily which made Psyche annoyed at him but still replied “Yup yup! Sorry, it took so long, we’ll be right there!”

Both of them continued on with their lives, the secret that was never told to anyone else but them. It annoyed Psyche badly, why just why, can Alejandro do whatever he wants?! It’s not fair, It’s not fair at all, she just wanted to have a peaceful conversation with him yet it resulted in that?

From then onwards, Psyche was filled with a heavyweight in her heart. Never getting to tell the secret that she wanted to tell. After all, what would Alejandro do to her if she does?

Epilogue:

 "CUT!" said Aphrodite with her voice expressing joy.

“Oh, my dear baby! You did such a great job! You remind me so much of myself in my younger years” she exclaims.

“Thank you mother…” he tells her with an awkward smile. 

His mother was everything to him. The one who gave birth to him— the one who raised him. The one who cared for him. The beautiful Aphrodite, a once brilliant actress, his idol, and his mother, who was now staring at him with an innocent smile as she hit down her maid because of a mistake. Aphrodite had asked one of the maids for a glass of water for her son. But the maid drops the glass of water and it shatters to the cold ground made out of marble.

She said to him with a sweet tone, like a mother speaking to a child who’s done something wrong:

“Alejandro, I am someone who’s very special and with that means you are as well”. She hit the servant once more with so much as no mercy or pity in her soul.

“That means if someone does you wrong, don’t be afraid to do something to them okay? And do not EVER EVER be like your father.”

The servant lies on the floor with blood on her cheeks as the mother looks at his son awaiting for a response.

“Of course, Mom I’ll do whatever you say”.
