In the Christian circles we frequented, the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is regarded as a shameful endorsement of sinful debauchery – a 'giving in', to use the biblical language, to use the base instincts of our fallen human nature. Having had so little to do with gay and lesbian people, I confess I was apprehensive about what sort of folks we might meet, but as we ambled through Hyde Park, passers-by, spectacles of colour and jubilation, embraced us and included us in their merry-making.

Starting another in the sword series!

#i like figures without faces because you have to react to them on a more base level #instinctive and emotional #not an intellectual analysis of facial expression #and you have to find the story from pose and gesture alone #which opens them to interpretation and hearing how other people interpret what i make is like. my favorite thing.#his eyeline isn't quite on the sword #it's above it. looking at the one who wielded it #or at what comes after.

TELEMACHUS AND ANTINOUS. FINALLY

#throwing a tiny bit of (NOT FULLY THOUGHT OUT AND VERY MUCH A WIP) info about them here for u guys #i was trying to figure out what the fuck antinous could do in this au #and then i was like oh wait monster hunter. obviously #so hes a monster hunter lol #<- this is actually sorta funny because the temporary odysseus lore i have is that he used to be a monster hunter at one point #and then he got bit on the job or something lol #aughhh this is very embarassing to admit but this whole au in my head is very heavily inspired by the danganronpa fic out for blood #so i will admit. i just stole hajimes backstory from that fic #btw you guys should read that fic. even if youre not into danganronpa it doesnt really rely on canon at ALL and its very good #anyways as a temporary thing i dont really think borrowing that matters #anyways monster hunter antinous just seems like the natural conclusion here idk idk #i dont really have a solid story in mind in general so im not worrying about how different aspects interact atm #anyways telemachus thoughts now #hes obviously still penelope and odys kid so. funny vampire/werewolf hybrid thing lets talk about that #so i imagine he takes after odysseus in MOST things. he is for all intents and purposes mostly just a werewolf #but ahh. ok i dont know werewolf lore so im gonna explain it #(its very much again just based on one really good danganronpa fic i read)#i think when turned its sort of like. a blackout blind rage. very little complex thought involved. just kill and maim etc #<- not getting too into it bc of tag limits. lmk if you want me to ramble about how werewolves in this au work though #anyways i think since telemachus isnt a full werewolf this doesnt fully apply to him #he may or may not have violent instincts but he could probably resist them and hes at least semi-aware when turned #anyways i think penelope dresses him. thats why hes so fancy. very much giving off heavy vampire energy despite barely being one #is he immortal* like a vampire? we dont know and were not gonna test it hopefully!#also he could probably drink blood he doesnt HAVE to though and he doesnt like the taste really. penelope does not get it </3 #ok done rambling in the tags now time for art tags #doodles #epic the musical #epic monster au #antinous #telemachus

thinking about how the (greek) big three swore to never sire any more demigod children because those children are just too powerful (dangerous) and also thinking about how the characters that, arguably, seem to have the greatest proclivity for cruelty in the name of justice or vengeance are also the (greek) big three children... there's something there, a connection to be made I'm sure of it

#and its not just cruelty...#its like this spiraling into... darkness? power?#for percy and nico at least #thalia we dont get to see as much and I need to reread ttc #but like... she's SO tempted by power #its like she has to actively fight against those base instincts to rule (like her father)#when she chooses the hunters #she removes her role (her power her agency) in the great prophecy #and idk I feel like there's subtext there that she's worried what she would have done had she been the prophecy child #but sincerely there's something about greek big three kids thats off kilter #and that aspect only gets more pronounced as time goes on and they get older #like not only are they scarily powerful #but their mental states are just... messy #almost like in comparison to other demigods #they're a little more god a little less mortal if that makes sense #and they have to fight to maintain that mortality (their humanity)

yall ever think Shen Yuan went through like, internet withdrawal after being transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu? Like, he's canonically a NEET shut-in who did nothing but spend his time online, you can't tell me that for the first week or first few weeks of being SQQ he wasn't twitchy.

Like, reaching instinctively to his pockets for a phone that wasn't there, having an obsessive itch in the back of his mind that he should check and see if X or Y novel or webcomic has updated -- only to realize he can't anymore and being irritated by it. Wanting to go and see if there's new posts about this or that, but again realizing that he can't.

When he's bored or uncomfortable or just feels like wanting to escape he tries to go for his phone to distract himself, but oops! Not there anymore, and now he has to find a new and different way to distract himself from his feelings. And going through system notifications, quests, etc only does so much.

And there's that Tetris Effect too. SQQ makes a mistake while writing and instinctively goes to backspace on it except hey-ho that's not a keyboard and now he just dipped his pinkie into a bottle of ink or on a still-drying letter.

With him scrambling to fix his reputation and learn how to be a peak lord, I think his abrupt cold-turkey from all things internet would just be another straw on the camel's back that he promptly Ignores until it goes away on its own after he acclimates to his new surroundings.

#svsss #mxtx svsss #scum villain #scum villian self saving system #shen yuan #shen qingqiu #i think him learning how to be a peak lord and cultivation and everything else would help distract him from the internet withdrawal for the #most part. but the moment there's a lull in the day and his mind wanders or he becomes bored or stressed and he instinctively reaches back #for his phone and realizes it isn't there it just sends a spike of panic/frustration/irritation through him because its a familiar comfort #and now its gone. like this is all based off my own experiences from being Chronically Online but i just think its neat to think about #in that same vein i think it also pushes him into getting into the arts on QJP. Like as the peak lord naturally he would be doing this kind #of stuff but hes NOT the peak lord but to keep up appearances he has to know how to do this stuff. and finds it??? actually quite rewarding #even more than getting into an argument online or getting a new merch item. he's making or doing this stuff. he starts drawing and finishes #a piece and regardless of its skill level he feels something unclog in his chest. like sediment being scraped off the bottom of a creek and #being washed downstream. a weight that's been slogging through his veins suddenly untangled. physical proof of his efforts that feels great #starry is incapable of NOT giving her favorite blorbos more hobbies. starry is incapable of not giving her favorites artsy hobbies #this is probably NOT a new or original thought whatsoever but im throwing it out there anyways bc it fascinates me. i love transmigration #and albeit i've only read isekai manhwa/manhua there's a common theme of the people there assimilating into their new lives relatively quic #which i know is for ease of transition and getting to the rest of the story. but WHAT IF.#i have still not read svsss yet and idk when i'll be able to BUT have some thoughts anyways

Jayce’s existence in Arcane really explores the horror of what it would be like to be a completely dweeby nerd with the face and figure of a football player

#Jayce talis #arcane #like it activates the rage instinct in so many viewers #people hate him legitimately because of his muscles and face #poor guy just wants to do science #even IN UNIVERSE people think he’s dumb based on his looks #is he wise no but boy definitely has a PhD in magical engineering #he just happens to look like body builder Prince Charming and it’s NOT HIS FAULT #but god that beard did him so favors huh #he should have grown one sooner #I bet Viktor goes feral over that beard

MiqoMarch Day 20 - Memory

Rare is it to see you so shaken. I can only imagine what thoughts must be consuming you at this moment, my love.

#ffxiv #ffxiv gpose #miqomarch #miqomarch2025 #dawntrail spoilers #arsay nun #g'raha tia #wolgraha #Arsay's dialogue from the loss prompt touched on this but this is the part of the living memory that she finds the most fucked up #the fact that everyone elses memories get scrubbed of the deceased #For Arsay -who has a trauma related fear of being forgotten- the everkeep system is maybe the worse thing for her to learn about #because like even if she has been guilty of avoiding thinking about her dead friends/parents/enemies because it comes bundled with feelings #she doesn't out right forget them. those memories of them will always be there. there's a difference between avoidance and forgetting.#Usually Arsay is very good at keeping her body language under control. especially in a group. but something like this is too upsetting #And even tho Rahas instinct is to calm her down but he knows better to draw any further attention to her #but ooh my god is she stewing at this. literally crossing her arms as tight as she can to hold herself in. her tail is more puffed up too #hard to tell cause shes already so fluffy but the base of her tail looks thicker than usual #Shes so angry. disgusted. and beyond sad for the peoples whose existence she feels has been erased #and of course she cant help but put her herself in the shoes of those people and consider what if every one just forgot about her one day #and that makes her even more upset #had to do some shifting around of npc placements for this lmao #they move the chair out for graha at the front in the cutscene only so I couldn't put him in the same spot and have him floating in the air #also it just makes more sense for him to sit next to Arsay and makes the comic framing so much easier

Peppino still has nightmares about that fateful fight... they're never pretty.

#poor Peppino.... not only did he have a gooey clone made of himself but said clone was also made to kill him...#i suppose he should be very thankful said clone is on his side now! still... instincts and urges get to Fakey sometimes.#at least he's gotten a lot more control over himself. Peppino's safe but still the nightmares remain.#my art #pizza tower #pizza tower peppino #pizza tower fake peppino #why? why not! my brain wanted to draw Trauma and also just Peppino/Fake Peppino fighting stuff.#kinda based on Peppino and Fake's fight in my own writing! yippee!! ✨

Rewatching Accepting anxiety part two and Logan buddy, you literally yelled out "E=MC SCARED!" While you were being overloaded with anxiety. Your base instinct when panicking was to make a pun. You aren't fooling anyone.

#it's his base instinct wheather he likes it or not #logan sanders #sanders sides

10 months after gym + mewing ‼️‼️💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

#zeno's art #ocs #reassassination #pins #(no needles unfortunately)#anyway hes like 9ft tall with his posture like that #still havent really thought of a way to incorporate him into needles' backstory #but he was probably human at some point #but as he was resurrected in a different way to octavia he lost the ability to be fully sapient #however he also has little memories but still has an instinct to keep needles sade #*safe #i think in general reassass zombie canon:#if someone gets resurrected too long after they died they'll have lost some memory based on how long they were dead for
