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

[festive-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.

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.

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
