Scrimbly Jacqueline 8/52: Frostmas Jacquie!

The thought cloud says "the AUDACITY of THIS BITCH" & it's Jack. Jack's the bitch in question >:3c

The Poll from last last week keeps on giving!

And with this scrimbly, is now COMPLETE!

Next week we have MORE fashion Jacquie: tscs edition >:). I've got a whole. THING for that and CS, specifically with the second season! I had started writing it before s2 but then s2 came out and I hmm'd for a bit then everything fell back in to place. So that'll be fun!!

Anyway! enjoy this Frostmas Jacquie! not much to say about her--she came out pretty fast during today's meeting lol. Needless to say, post-Frostmas, if she's ever in a pencil skirt again it'll be too soon. She's more of a fit and flare gal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I think this is one of my favorite lines from the Wraith route because of (imo) how much the meaning changes depending on if you got there via Spectre or Nightmare. For Spectre, it honestly strikes me as a genuine question. Why are you doing this to her? If you're on the Spectre route, you presumably already know the Narrator can't really be trusted, since you had to reject his reward to get here. What are you hoping to gain from continuing to hurt her? For Nightmare, it honestly just makes me sad. As the Shifting Mound describes her, "She desires only companionship, but the only thing she knows is how to hurt." This line feels like a plea from someone who genuinely doesn't understand why you keep rejecting her. She wants to be with you, but she just can't understand how to do that in a way which doesn't hurt you.

--or perhaps,' continues Octavian. 'You're angry that I've outplayed you at your own game because you were too busy fucking in your old master's house to notice anything that was going on around you.'

He smiles suddenly, bright and wide. 'Enjoy the party, Marcus.'

this scene takes place sometime after philippi, and was originally just some historical fiction I was writing last year for fun focusing on antony, octavian, and agrippa. then I got stressed out watching the new season of a show, started drawing while it played, and ended up turning it into a short comic lmao

the dialogue in this scene is referencing this bit out of Suetonius:

In early youth he incurred the reproach of sundry shameless acts. Sextus Pompey taunted him with effeminacy; Mark Antony with having earned adoption by his uncle through unnatural relations; and Lucius, brother of Mark Antony, that after sacrificing his honour to Caesar he had given himself to Aulus Hirtius in Spain for three hundred thousand sesterces, and that he used to singe his legs with red-hot nutshells, to make the hair grow softer. What is more, one day when there were plays in the theatre, all the people took as directed against him and loudly applauded the following line, spoken on the stage and referring to a priest of the Mother of the Gods, as he beat his timbrel: "See'st how a wanton's finger sways the world?"

Suetonius Augustus 68

what a fun group of people!! they should all eat each other

so five and lila being a thing is going right next to allison literally sexually assaulting luther in the box of things we are absolutely under no circumstances accepting as part of canon right

The fandom god discussion is interesting, but I feel it’s sometimes hindered by an unwillingness to separate gods from mortal society, or even a sort of over-eagerness to project our own reality onto them, which simply doesn’t work. I've seen the gods referred to as rulers or tyrants demanding worship (which I kinda understand because it’s something Ludinus says in-game, though it’s funny to see fandom corners confidently repeat the inaccurate talking points of the antagonist) but more interestingly I've also seen them referred to as a higher/the highest social class, as colonizers imposing themselves on mortals, the raven queen specifically as new money. Overall these comparisons tend to talk about the gods and their actions regarding Aeor in the past and predathos/the Vanguard in the present less as if they're about saving their own lives and more as if they want to preserve their powerful position.

The gods, by their very nature, are above mortals. They cannot be compared to any mortal ruling class because they didn’t choose or strive for that power and cannot feasibly get rid of it/step down/redistribute it (nor do they actually in any sense rule; killing the raven queen, unlike killing an actual queen, will not end the 'tyranny' of death), they simply have it by virtue of being gods. Saying that’s unfair or unequal and that the gods should be killed because of it is akin to saying it’s unfair a mountain is bigger than you and demanding it be levelled, except the gods, unlike mountains, are living, feeling beings who shouldn’t have to die because some people can’t stand the idea of not always being top dog. Thing is, the gods themselves ultimately understood this power imballance and that they can't help but hurt Exandria the way humans can't help but step on bugs, and thus removed themselves from the equation by creating the divine gate. Saying this isn’t enough and that they're clinging to power is just demanding they line themselves up to be killed.

Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love, mine all mine all mine 💛💜

Happy birthday jiujiu!! 🪷

ID written by @princess-of-purple-prose, who kindly allowed me to use it!

[ID: A MDZS lyric comic using Mitski's "My Love Mine All Mine". FIrst, we see Jiang Cheng holding a baby Jin Ling, though Jiang Cheng's face isn't shown. "My baby here on earth." Young Jin Ling holds a lotus to Jiang Cheng, whose face is still not visible. "Showed me what my heart was worth."

Panels of Zidian crackling purple lightning. "So when it comes to be my turn." Jin Ling stands under a pale spotlight, the ghostly figures of his parents smiling and putting their hands on him. "Could you shine it down here for him?"

Jiang Cheng, face still offscreen, picks out lotus seeds for young Jin Ling. "'Cause my love is mine, all mine / My love." Panels of Jin Ling growing up, going from happily calling for Jiang Cheng to tensely firing a bow and arrow to scowling as a teenager. "Mine, mine, mine."

The next page features shots of Chenqing, a golden core, and Zidian. ""Nothing in the world / belongs / to / me but." Jiang Cheng, hair covering his face, holding infant Jin Ling. "My love, mine, all mine."

Finally, we see Jin Ling crying, Jiang Cheng holding him by the shoulders from behind. "Nothing in the world is mine for free / But mine." Jiang Cheng turns Jin Ling around and cups his cheeks, and we finally see Jiang Cheng's sorrowful face looking back at him. "Mine, all mine, all mine." End ID]

Some Skyros silliness!

I like to think that after the ‘my husband’ scene in the book, Achilles was absolutely insufferable about it, calling Patroclus his husband whenever he could and really playing up the whole married woman thing while they were there lmao
