#Music for the masochist

[meteor752]

Zeus all arrogant: My oh my brother, all that work to get revenge on the mortal, and he beats you?You must feel so ashamed…

Poseidon, still bleeding profusely and literally vibrating from horniness: Do you think if I kill his son he’ll do it again?

alright so this shot of Scylla I just finished working on took 2 days.

2 days for a 5 seconds shot.

I swear I draw pretty fast but it's just Scylla's design. I remember when I first drew her I was like, "oh btw I'll redo her design so it can be simpler and easier to draw :3"

I don’t know the original creator/source of this image but I think it’s lovely <3

This is the song that Yoneda-Sensei said encapsulates Yashrio’s feelings and inner world/thoughts. Just wanted to post it here in case anyone hasn’t heard it. Be warned, it’s sad.

side note: it’s super cool to associate this story with another medium (music). It is definitely an amazing way to really digest and understand it more. Listening to this song evokes a melancholic mood that makes reading Saezuru ten times sadder :(

•Creo que si heather chandler me pateará en la cara, yo sería la que se disculpe....😭

Re masoquista, ya se..

•I think if Heather Chandler kicked me in the face, I'd be the one to apologize...

(yeah, so masochist 😭)

It is a joke/es joda

•Probablemente lo que pasaría es q me enojaría tanto y empiece a putear la en 5 idiomas y acentos diferentes🕺

•Probably what would happen is that I would get so angry and start swearing in 5 different languages ​​and accents🕺

bdubs' delayed realization and anguish at outliving cleo in 3L + bdubs "now it feels like home" when cleo shows up at the beginning of last life + cleo "i trust you because bdubs trusted you" in later last life + cleo being bequeathed the monolith if bdubs doesn't come back from his mysterious building adventure in hcs9 + bdubs saying 3L was his favorite season because of teaming with cleo + cleo the witch of time's crastle summoning in wcsmp + "i know we're divorced bdubs, but" from cleo in double life + nonrecording bdubs offering to do grindy tasks for the clockers & fighting for cleo's favor in it.

i think abt all this a lot even though i don't feel as compelled to make fanworks about it because the most gutpunching thing is that cleo moves on but still remembers, and bdubs is still obsessed with the same other things but is still fond and echoes their first team up. so how could i improve upon that. but oh my god it's there are we all seeing this

hello! first i just wanna say ur stories r really neat n have have inspired me a lot! soo I remember when reading perseverance u mentioned a couple of times in the notes bout some of the songs u listened to while writing the chapters so would it be alr if u dropped all the songs u think goes w the story? (u don have to ofc I jus think it's interesting how u might perceive them as songs) much love to u n ur creative mind 💞

Awwww, thank you!! <3 <3 I'm glad I could inspire you! That's what I want to do with my stories! :D

Okay, so. U m. This is uh. A very interesting question. First off, I am. Very surprised people actually pay attention to those, I didn't know if people did or not- XD

Second. Um. Are you s u r e you want me to drop all the songs that I think goes with the story-

There might... be way more than you think.

And that's not including the 3 unlisted ones that I can't remember what they were/don't have the heart to remove from the list. Also, it's a playlist that... includes any song that inspired me ever. For any fic that I made. Not just Perseverance.

I don't think you actually want me to drop all of these on you, man-

"In bringing together Kurt Cobain's 'most poignant lyrics and journal fragments' to demonstrate the ways in which both writing and reading about melancholy can be life-affirming, Saint-Aubin has created a wonderful memorial not only to Cobain's troubled genius but especially to his profound humaneness."

Neil Nehring, author of Popular Music, Gender, and Postmodernism: Anger Is an Energy

The year 2019 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, an artist whose music, words, and images continue to move millions of fans worldwide. As the first academic study that provides a literary analysis of Cobain's creative writings, Arthur Flannigan Saint-Aubin's The Pleasures of Death: Kurt Cobain's Masochistic and Melancholic Persona approaches the journals and songs crafted by Nirvana's iconic front man from the perspective of cultural theory and psychoanalytic aesthetics.

Saint-Aubin discusses Cobain's writings independently of the artist's biography, positioning these texts within the tradition of postmodern representations of masculinity in twentieth-century American fiction, while also suggesting connections to European Romantic traditions from the nineteenth century that postulate a relation between melancholy (or depression) and creativity. In turn, through Saint-Aubin's elegant analysis, Cobain's creative writings illuminate contradictions and inconsistencies within psychoanalytic theory itself concerning the intersection of masculin-ity, masochism, melancholy, and the death drive.

By foregrounding Cobain's ability to challenge coextensive links between gender, sexuality, and race, The Pleasures of Death reveals how the cultural politics and aesthetics of this tragic icon's works align with feminist strategies, invite queer readings, and perform antiracist critiques of American culture.

Arthur Flannigan Saint-Aubin is professor of French at Occidental College, where he teaches courses in Francophone literatures and seminars on the theory and practice of translation. His books include The Memoirs of Toussaint and Isaac Louverture:

Representing the Black Masculine Subject in Narratives of Mourning and Loss.

not me spending eleven days writing a 30+ page essay in font size eleven on Robespierre and the French Revolution while listening to the Hamilton musical on repeat and these are the lyrics of one of the fucking songs

[sforzesco]

Im curious if you see more parallels between Octavian and Mark Antony, and Brutus and Cassius, as both being brother in laws.

tbh, there's not a lot there for me to dig my teeth into. Octavian and Antony were brother in laws with Octavia as an intermediary, so functionally a marriage with three people to it, while Cassius did not need to use Brutus' sister specifically as a go between them

the Horrible Family Dynamic that compels me with Octavian and Mark Antony is that step father in law kind of situation going on when Octavian was married to Claudia (while Antony was married to Fulvia) and then later Agrippa's marriage to Octavian's daughter. like. instead of the horizontal nature of in laws on a family tree, we're getting the vertical nature of something that makes me go Huh™
