Got inspired by Stray, and painted a cat feeding her kittens <3. I may paint more of this little family in the future

Once again screaming wailing gnashing my teeth over the lost and ignored themes of distrust, worthlessness, ambition, and loyalty in Son Jin Woo.

Like!! This is a man who explicitly says he learned to never trust other people because they always turn on him and betray him eventually, and raises soldiers from the dead with the explicit feeling that they're desperately reaching out to him, specifically, to save them from death. He surrounds himself with an army of fanatically loyal undead, and it's mentioned a few times that he's just as fanatically loyal to them in return, that he mourns every single one, and it's purely his own willpower that lets him reanimate them, that how much he wants them to be his is what gives him the power to raise them.

He's quiet and ruthless and set up to be a remorseless killer who doesn't give a damn about anyone but those he decides to love, who follows and surveils his loved ones at all times so he knows they're safe, who uses people without pause and doesn't care what people think about him. He loves fighting and gets a thrill from every time he gains power, says explicitly that as he levels up he feels more and more divorced from humanity, and only relies on his shadow army! He's a villain-coded figure in the role of hero and it's!! so cool!!!

And yet the narrative takes all these interesting bits and just. never addresses them. There's no consequence of Jin Woo feeling any of this. The whole series devolves into bland power fantasy/Gary Stu ridiculousness where the whole world can be divided into Good Guys Who Love the Protagonist and Bad Guys Who Hate/Are Jealous of the Protagonist. What a waste. We could have had it aaaaaall.

go mad (love unsaid)

@spnpoetryrenaissance day 6: Shadows + escapril day 6: if I told you, you’d go mad

if I told you, you’d go mad so I told you that I heard;  yet the truth remains unsaid, just a quiet aftermath.  ‘cause there’s a shadow on my back, and a shadow up ahead, so I’m happy here to stay in the middle (with you) no, not happy though—glad, content and forever sad that’s how it goes; now, don’t be mad. it’s fine, I’m fine, okay that’s what we always say I’m the sacrifice today so sorry I can’t stay. ‘cause you don’t think  you deserve to be saved and maybe I  don’t wanna be saved so— you’d go mad if I told you and I’d be dead if I told you so I heard what you prayed but nothing more, nothing more.  there’s peace when we’re done and love means I’m done so I just leave a mark to tell you:  the circle renewed, all clad; God has won.  My love, it’s time to go mad.

What if I wrote a fic about caleo working out their relationship huh what then

[sluttybibuck]

no one has ever been able to capture the excruciating magical heart wrenching experience of having a crush quite like 19 year old taylor swift when she wrote enchanted

[neurovamp]

waiting room by phoebe bridgers is so quintessentially arthur morgan

[smoozie]

I feel like it is disingenuous to pretend that the relationship between an actor and a character they play on screen is the same as the relationship between a minecraft content creator and their persona in game
