My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

A brief summary of how each character is doing at the end of the trojan war

Menelaus - alive!!! (somehow)

Helen - alive! was gonna get killed but she's too hot for that

Achilles - dead

Patroclus - dead

Paris - dead, shot in the dick (ha)

Hector - dead, body absolutely desecrated (you were a dick for that Achilles)

Agamemnon - alive then dead (you were a queen for that Clytemnestra)

Odysseus - blublublublub (jk he gets Penelope and Telemachus back but not before slaughtering most of the nobles of Ithica, there's kind of a whole book on it)

Ajax - dead

Penthesilea - dead

Diomedes - cucked (aphrodite's punishment for fucking up her wrist)

Aeneas - bringing the squad to Italy (there's kind of a whole book on it)

personally I think that all queer books should have a “special edition” with a subtle cover (and a code name if it’s necessary) for all of the people in homophobic areas

#it’s me I’m people #no but seriously we’re out here in the trenches smuggling queer books and desperately hoping our parents/family/friends won’t find out #I have stack of all the queer books I own in a bag underneath a bunch of clothes IN MY ATTIC CRAWL SPACE so that they don’t get found #and the amount of times I’ve had to switch out a cover on one hardback for a cover of a different hardback is insane #my sister thinks I’ve read The Shadows Between Us like 6 times but most of the time it was actually RW&RB #it gets ridiculous #for example #to get RW&RB in the first place my twin had to stuff the book under her shirt while we were in the bookstore #buy it herself in all cash #and then hide it again as we left #so please I am begging for “special edition’’ books like this 🙏😭#literature #lqbtq #queer #queer books #gay #lesbian #trans #bisexual #books and reading #booklr #homophobia #pride month

So, this poll is over now, and a lot of people in the notes brought up stuff that I'd overlooked. Therefore, I'm doing it again, with more options this time.

I would have put a whole lot more options, but unfortunately, I can only do twelve. Again, please share more detail in the tags or replies if you want to.

Destiny sits down in his garden.

The text on the right is a quote from the song 米店 by 張瑋瑋: 'You have an apple in one hand / and fate in the other.' The title on the cover of the small book is Sandman.

A couple notes:

The little book Destiny is holding is a 連環畫, a popular form of comic books in the Sinophone in the 20th century.

In case you're wondering why I didn't draw a chain: red thread of fate (I've taken the symbolism one step further of course. We're all connected to one another in some way. Who says only lovers can be tied together by a red string? And if the web of connections among all of us isn't destiny, I don't know what is.)

"Since you've named yourself after Julius fucking Caesar, perhaps I'll follow in your lead and choose one of the conspirators." "Interesting," says Giuliano. "Should I worry about finding you at the center of some kind of conspiracy that ends with my death?" "Not from me," replies Ascanio. He sounds tired. "Not anymore."

informally, some kind of. conversational follow up to the last comic. I'm trying to get the atmospheric conversational whimsy out of my system because I have a vision of the vatican as a body in active decay, a point of infection spreading out and poisoning the well, a jaw unhinged that people walk into over and over, and I am so close to figure out how to convey this visually. maybe.

#not that there's anything wrong with atmospheric whimsy but i kind of want to get into the gross body horror of it all #literally. allegorically. for the vibes. its just hard to pin down the abstract thought of 'oh we should High Rise the Vatican' you know #(High Rise by JG Ballard is what i'm referring to here) like how do I achieve this. well. first. is i must lay out the vatican and become #intimate with the visual set pieces. then i can talk about how this building could literally be hazardous to your health #however. drawing the vatican. is very. uhhhh. man I do not know enough about medieval-renaissance architecture to be inventing #anything and that one book that collected interiors of rooms and houses in renaissance art is NEVER ANYWHERE EVER #and if it is then it's always around when i cannot afford it. i feel like i am in a specific kind of torment torture box #i will not be defeated tho. i can design a vatican through other means.#ANYWAY. i think antidepressants would've made ascanio an unstoppable menace in the vatican #there's a bunch of stuff being referenced here but my pdf reader does not want to cooperate with me so basically we're playing around with #ascanio's household staff (alessandro) that whole thing wrt to ascanio & acts of piety/charity (such as covering dowries etc)#uh. that's it! this time i didn't accidentally call giuliano by his brother's name. which is . sherhhg. so there's a fic i was writing.#italian renaissance tag #komiks tag

Was my first time buying off Etsy, but I just had to get this!

I really love fanbooks of my ships, there's just something about physically holding fanart in book format that I can't quite explain, and I really enjoyed reading this amazing comic by @42paintbrushes as it got uploaded.

Guess it was a good thing I woke up early (and tired) from my nap that day or I never would've seen it before it sold out. Though, I heard it's getting a restock for people that are interested.
