Get ready with me to build a giant wooden horse
Did I just spend 3 days drawing that eyeliner meme? Yes. Yes, I did.
I'm very late to this year's inktober but nevertheless I'm here))) I decided to combine the official prompt list with the classicstober here, specifically prompt 15 - dagger and prompt 20 - Odysseus. I don't know, if I will draw any other prompts, but this one was fun and I hope you like it :)
The dagger was based on Mycenaean daggers in the national archeological museum in Athens and some Mycenaean dagger reproductions I saw, the scene depicted is Odysseus hunting Athena' boar. I hc this dagger was either a gift from Athena herself or from Autolycus, I haven't decided yet.
#I'm not sure how historically accurate is that background. but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#odysseus#“my man's not letting this war keep him from feeling gorgeous” (quote by @dannymotta)#“felt cute. might burn a city later”#“grwm for a stealth mission with my best buddy - the king of Argos”#tagamemnon#the iliad#epic the musical#epic the musical fanart#greek mythology#inktober#classicstober#inktober 2023#classicstober23#my art tag

oh, Lucia…
close-ups under the cut :)


#I will not let the tyrants at instagram dictate my canvas sizes !!!!!#I have been mulling this concept over since very early on in lucia’s inception but I finally took a stab at executing it#but it was important to me to try and do it justice bc it is a pretty thematic piece for her character#it’s not perfect but at least it is something rather than existing solely in my mind#venus was referenced from a couple different historical paintings and ofc lucia herself#but the background is primarily referenced from the sala degli elementi in the palazzo vecchio#my art#my ocs#artistic nudity#to be safe#sorry to people that followed me for asoiaf stuff but I draw what I want and recently what I want has been oc stuff

taiwan travelogue by yang shuangzi tr. lin king is indeed an award-winning banger and perhaps the first time in my life i've ever felt vindicated for dual-wielding a novel with its english translation because the act of translation itself is such a big theme in the novel. big win for metafiction-obsessed himejin everywhere!!
#i genuinely burst into tears twice just thinking about the ending of this book#read if you enjoy: narratives about colonialism. barriers to understanding formed by language and power dynamics. FOOD AS LOVE#i also just bought the authors most recent book and its also very fun and maybe what id recommend as a lighter entry point into her work#as a yuri thats also very slice-of-life with food-as-love themes but requires less historical/cultural background to access#alas no. 1 siwei st doesnt have a translation. yet... unless.......#txt#spoilers further in tags#i think part of what makes chizuru/chien-ho such an intriguing character is carried by the conceit of translation as interpretation#her role as someone who dreams of translating novels but not one who writes them... delivering others stories to a broader audience#shes very much a character who we only get to see from the outside; most notably from the perspective of the novel's unreliable narrator#which we read as a 2nd ed translation of the original japanese text by an uninvolved third party looking back years after the authors death#but it turns out [spoilers] chizuru herself wrote the 1st ed translation and the first time we hear *her* voice is in her translators note#and her perspective and the negative space between her words are both *infinitely* fascinating#even the concept! of translating a novel where youre a main character who the narrator loves and desperately wants to understand! wtf!!!!!!#rotating her in my mind. 小千妳到底是何方聖神啊...

The (late) early medieval period was definitely one of the very rare times Francis had both short hair and no facial hair at the same time. This was also a rare time where Arthur had the privilege to rock the long hairstyle but unfortunately for Arthur, he also had to watch out for Frantic Francis, the hair-snatcher.

He’s like the worlds shittiest Madonna to me
#shoutout to that one piece of historical text that was ‘Prussia is a sort of hermaphrodite’#like okay wooork you weird freak of a military with a nation#shit a slightly more unstable Ludwig would have displayed in his room after his beloved brothermother dies#hws prussia#hetalia fanart#hetalia#gilbert beilschmidt#i was told that I should tag my actual stuff in the first five -w-#I have too many things to say… or2#honestly half the stuff I draw is shit an unstable Ludwig would have commissioned to decorate the halls of his sprawling lonely manner with#the yearning for his brothermother in a cute Freudian way#I love psychological horror so that aspect of him is so interesting to me#I wanna dissect them both <3#Gil deserves to have statues made of him but none of them should be in any way masculine#but statues made in his honor the same way they portray a goddess of fertility#or like Nike that would be badass too#digital art#my art#this is my first time doing holographic coloring#i like it :)#mother of pearl for a mother#he looks like he’s doing the just right meme 👌#if I gave this thing a base it’s guaranteed that Lud would be curled up on it sobbing on really bad nights#like in a mad Victor Frankenstein tortured poet way#with lightning and thunder and fluttering shadows from long curtains in the background

I really appreciate that The Apothecary Diaries fandom can appreciate the intentions behind the series. It's refreshing to see so many readily accept the nuance presented in the writing and openly discuss the complexity of it all, all the while understanding that this is a piece of fiction to be enjoyed.
I'm sure as the series continues, knowing what will happen, there will be more discourse and such, but it's clear that there's also many who want to engage in a healthy, open-minded manner.
#theres so many refreshing opinions I've seen#especially when it comes to the unconventional romance of the series#and understanding that context is vital in understanding why characters behave the way they do#whether that be in the historical setting or characters backgrounds#thats not to say that I haven't seen the one or two takes that I disagree with#I can even see where theyre coming from#but its nice to know I'm not the only one who wants unhinged characters to act unhinged in unhinged situations#its fun!!!#the apothecary diaries#kusuriya no hitorigoto#knh#my rambles
