Is everyone doing ok? I feel like we're one post away from mass hysteria and having a repeat of the dancing plague of 1518 💃🏻🕺🏻

The main thing I need for MAWS Kon is an arc dedicated to him learning about his TTK and then being completely annoying about it.

Just like the comics, Kon discovering new abilities is heavily influenced by an emotional response. So make his TTK unpredictable.

Just like in issue #84. I want that ‘wtf just happened’ moment

when is it my turn for Yuri Aquarium Date

[deeply-unserious-fellow]

I see a lot of stuff like "I can't believe [group of people] are saying [blatantly incorrect thing] about [controversial, important and/or stupid subject]" and I'll roll my eyes and just scroll past because I haven't seen anybody saying that, y'all are just being dramatic. And it has just now occurred to me that maybe this is because I don't have Twitter and barely interact with Tik Tok- I am simply not online enough to have the full, stupid picture of all the goddamn discourse.

Nevermind another universe. This is MY life! This is the world I’m in and the skin that houses me. It is my body, my senses, my experiences that make this life of mine worth living! I get to wake up everyday to something new! I get to bake and create and aspire to the life I want and I’m gonna get it! I’m gonna grit my teeth and dig my heels into the ground because this is what I want! I want to live long enough to see my grandnieces and nephews experience living! To watch my siblings grow old with me! And see the oceans again. God I love the ocean. I will build a home with the love of my life by my side! And we’ll find peace in our lives! And eat good food and dance and watch the sunrise together after a long night! I’ll see my best friends get married and raise their children! I’ll live this life and witness the people I love live theirs! I’ll learn not to be so isolated! I’ll get out of this basement and make it on my own!

I get Alex can sing (in fact, Jackpot is a personal favorite fandom-song earworm of mine) but like…

Imagine Caine with a singing voice like that of Dallon Weekes or Brendon Urie.

you can't call shakespeare problematic, it was ages ago

KJJJJJ with a little research you'd learn that shakespeare's 'problematic plays' don't refer to them being socially problematic but it's just a group of plays academics can't decide in which genre to categorize

Okay but in honour of Artistic Partisan being released on engstars, I'm going to be very self-indulgent and talk about how Hell Screen (source) coded it is. And yes I'm talking about Akutagawa Ryunosuke's short story about the (spoilers to come) painter obsessed with art and his beloved daughter who got sacrificed in all sorts of ways (then died) in order to inspire him to paint a scene of the Buddhist hell at the commission of his shady patron.

I mean, maybe it's just me but I think Artistic Partisan perfectly captures that line between obsessive creation and passionate artistry, flip flopping back and forth as the line "si vis artem, para bellum" (play on the latin "si vis parcem, para bellum" if you want art/peace, prepare for war) is chanted in the midst of it all. Like how could that not capture the artist's desire for eternity, longevity, beauty while also having the both threatening but invoking intense melody that gives it that edge of action and danger? It's so Hellscreen in the way that Hellscreen is a very bleak depiction of the battle that is art (with questionable beauty being produced but a definite masterpiece of expression regardless). Yes, the artist wants to live forever but, be warned, because the world of art is not one of peace. It is filled with blood and sacrifice and battles. Artistic Partisan is the warning song (but also a praise, almost, of art), Hellscreen is the story of the song ignored (but still proof of how war really does create art).

Just....man. They went hard on this one. If you want art, prepare for war indeed.

I AM GOING TO WRITE AT LEAST 1000 WORDS TODAY.

Found CH2 just crossed 4000 words and I HOPE it's gonna be shorter than the first chapter so... if I finish it today and edit tomorrow I MIGHT be able to post it late tomorrow? I hope so 😭

Do you ever learn about some historical figures and think “damn if these were fictional characters the internet would love making these guys fuck.” And then you go on the ao3 tag for 12th century historical people and find out that at least one person does in fact, like making these guys fuck
