decimus wanted to wind cassius up a bit just to see how he would snap
uhhh. what else. you know!! caesar was collecting (and discarding) a new generation of romans, operating a new kind of roman imperium. political manipulation. "good" governance. conspiracies are forming in reply.
the collage art is all public domain/open access stuff from the met collections!
#okay now that we're in the tags. kabayan: this comic is actually about how fucking pissed i am over the bahay#pangulo renovations lmao like not only are you robbing the people blind but you're also TAKING AMORSOLO PAINTINGS#heugh. summoning circle to set cassius' ghost loose in malacaƱang palace#ANYWAY i saw someone on twitter go 'haven't they earned a little luxury?' and i saw someone snap back with the 'i didnt know na monarchy#na pala ang pilipinas' reply i borrowed for a closing wham line#but MY GOD. 'earn a little luxury' flames. on the side of my face. again! SUMMONING CIRCLE FOR CASSIUS' GHOST#just set him loose! they havent earned ANYTHING. awful bastard family from hell. rot all the way down. BGLGHGHGH#roman republic tag#komiks tag#oh what else. uh. OH! i went to an art museum over on (redacted) and saw some incredible paintings from a local artist#and that's what got me doing the collage stuff. in the top half specifically. it's not quite what i wanted it to be but im learning#connecting the visual dots

been thinking about the rotting blue heart in the House of the Undying that seemed to nearly kill Dany and the Heart of Winter that made Bran cry. Drogon ate the blue heart, saving Dany, and destroying the HotU as a result. Dany also ate a raw stallion heart to give her son (the stallion who mounts the world, the title that actually belongs to Dany/Drogon) strength.
There's some foreshadowing there, right? Dany and Drogon (plus the other dragons/dragon riders maybe) are gonna eat the Heart of Winter? Dany consuming death itself? life eating death, fire melting ice, etc. Obviously the "Heart of Winter" might not be a literal and physical heart.
Bran eating the Heart of Winter through Summer; Summer literally consuming Winter. We see him eat while in Summer's mind in the books, it's an escape from his own nagging hunger. Hunger is for winter, feasting is for summer.
Eating as a celebration of life. I like this visual better than This Character strikes down the Big Bad with a sword. I also like it more than the three dragons simply burning whatever they see in the Heart of Winter. Eating is a celebration of life; I read a post awhile ago about how grrm puts so much Detail into his descriptions of food because of this. because it's all about celebrating life in the face of death, when you know Winter is Coming anyways.
#i got 3 hours of sleep last night.#something something dany and drogon have a history of eating hearts! and there's a heart of winter! i am connecting the dots!!#the heart in HotU being blue also. blue is associated with death and ice and the others#the HotU collapsing after drogon eats their weird blue heart too. maybe the heart of winter is key to destroying all of the others/ice zomb#i dont think any other characters are associated with hearts like dany is but admittedly im not going to check#mine#daenerys targaryen#asoiaf#heart of winter#asoiaf predictions#drogon#this is SO poorly written but well. it's not like im turning this in for a grade#bran stark#idk i just love the visual of dany and bran literally eating a blue heart#asoiaf meta

When you open your commissions will you have like all the prices and will do won't dos what costs extra ect on an info sheet? Plus how you'll accept payments either through PayPal kofi ect, just so I can look at it and save it and know exactly what would be okie to commission and work out cost of it either for Fri or if I miss my chance maybe next time if they're opened again
i can accept payment thru paypal or kofi! i take all payment UP FRONT. once you tell me what you want, i'll figure out the total based on the information below and relay the price to you.
price for full body sketch commission: 40 USD for lines and 60 USD for colored. simple, single color illustrations like this would only be 5 dollars more.
price for half body sketch commission: 30 USD for lines and 50 USD for colored.
you can have up to 3 characters per commission. each additional character is +50% of the base price. complex designs like metal sonic or omega will cost extra depending on complexity.
sketch commissions will either have a white background or a single color background (you can pick!). if you want something more than that, it will be double the total price (i don't like drawing backgrounds LMAO).
all characters MUST have a full visual reference. i will not draw characters based solely on a text description. it's also preferred if you have a pose in mind for your commission, because that makes it easier for me to give you what you want. if you're okay with me winging it though, that's okay too.
OK: sonic characters, sonic ocs, light romance (canon x canon, oc x canon, and oc x oc are all OK!), robots
NOT OK: nsfw, gore (just blood is ok), hateful content, pro-ship bullshit
i reserve the right to turn down a commission request for any reason. my artwork is never permitted to be resold or used to train AI. i never consent to it being ""minted"" into an NFT either.
#anonymous#if you have any additional questions just ask!#also as an addition to the full visual reference thing: it doesn't have to be a SINGLE visual reference#for example if you want me to draw sonic in a particular outfit#if you have a picture of the outfit but not him IN the outfit then i can connect the dots lol#thank for the question!

random question but for a group that is considered an angel group theres a lack of angel imagery in the graphics and blog and knowing you i am sure thereās a reason for that????? š¤
LMAOOOOOO KNOWING ME?!Ā šššĀ ok.Ā but ur right.Ā i actually do have a reason but iāve never said anything about it because thatās lore territory and iāve always wanted to do something āfunā to talk about those silly theories.Ā but with the way iām movingā¦Ā ok.Ā u didnāt ask for this but i will do a little lore dump on the reason why i donāt really include angel visuals to their content with a tldr because before i am an human i'm a yapper!
in their world,Ā the mobius,Ā thereās an otherworldly god i call "i"āĀ though sometimes i call them "mother" or "father" as well,Ā since,Ā really,Ā theyāre only a concept.Ā and,Ā in a way,Ā "i" could even be u.Ā
āiā is beyond mortal understanding,Ā something like a biblically accurate angel that no one is worthy to look upon.Ā a literal god of whom no one shall make a carved image.Ā their vision when creating the mobius was to make a āperfect world,āĀ free of sin and disobedience,Ā where angels and disciples would serve them and their word alone.Ā to do this,Ā āiā created three angels from the heart of nature,Ā because whatever came from mother nature itself would surely obey them,Ā right?Ā but there was one rule in āiāsā book:Ā noooooooo one could ever resemble the likeness or idea of āi.āĀ because if their angels inspired the same awe or dread "i" provided,Ā how could they ever spread their message?
so,Ā these angels were made to radiate kindness,Ā each a vessel of their season,Ā born to share āiāsā teachings without stirring fear.Ā theyāre almost like concepts themselves:Ā a glimpse of what they might be,Ā but always held back by āiāsā rules and doctrine.Ā basically,Ā they were created solely to serve.Ā (not trying to be funny here lmaoooooooooo).Ā in their gentle,Ā human-like forms,Ā the sillies are the perfect reflections of āiāsā ideals,Ā inspiring trust rather than dread to those they cross paths with.Ā Ā
yet,Ā after the aengel of the season project,Ā they saw how āiā had limited them as angels,Ā as āhumans,āĀ as individuals because they didnāt even have the right to think on their own without consequences.Ā they were even bothered by the fact that āiā didnāt fully respect mother nature by allowing their disciples to slowly destroy her.Ā this realization sparked anger toward their god,Ā their roles,Ā and even their own identities because who the fuck am i?Ā eventually,Ā they understood that they were as close to god as anything could be as they were created by "i" and their own creation,Ā so why serve when they are their own person slash actual angel? Ā š¤Ā now,Ā with āiāsā gift,Ā aka their serene,Ā human-like forms as they donāt portray themselves as the biblically angels they actually are,Ā they quietly but definitely defy āiāsā words by sharing their own doctrines of self-love,Ā self-expression,Ā and self-respect.Ā :)Ā Ā
TLDR.Ā their human forms are simply āvesselsā to gain peopleās trust,Ā as theyāre actually biblically accurate angelsĀ :)Ā because how can they share their own doctrine and encourage mmmmmmm individuality?Ā uniqueness?Ā if everyone is screaming and kicking their feet while theyāre going plsssssss do not be afraid Ā D:Ā their aura alone is angelic enough,Ā aka the main reason angel imagery isnāt present enough in the blogĀ :)Ā
#āøŗ ļ¼ Ʀ. āÆ asks.#LORE ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!1 LORE ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#(no one asked and i still provided)#if anyone remembers those headlines post yeah this is why believers say they are blasphemous LMAOOOOO#idk if i should actually tw chr*stianity so take this as a tw#angel visuals are pretty much present during live performances and photoshoots but their presence is enough for ppl to be like. angels!!!!!#just like artms bc. for example. virtual angel. u can tell they are angels even without their wings. that has always been hiraeths vision#ive always liked the idea of them being angry for mothers nature because i's disciples are just. not good#even when /i/ believes they are good and allows them to do whatever. and mother nature is basically their mom in a sense#so they are angry for themselves and nature!!!!#the loop they are stuck in being i's punishment for defying them rip#also the part where i said /i/ could even be u: because we are held back by our own thoughts so in a way we are just like a god#but for ourselves as we put our own rules to ourselves#ive connected the dots (i didnt connect shit) i've connected them#this makes zero sense sorry#āøŗ ļ¼ Ʀ. āÆ lore.

Went to Target during a trip to the next state over with Mom so we could have a fun day out, and I found DC Comics Manga, and this Joker one is so tempting to grab an ebook of
This sounds like a typical fanfiction plot idea and I'm all for it
Also, found some cute Lego polybags, which is a nice bit to add to my Lego collection I'm rebuilding, as I'm mostly grabbing small bags and bricks from thrifting
A cute farmer with a scarecrow and a bunny, and a "birthday train" micro build.
Also, I decided to finally try a minifigure blind box, since my Lego are gonna need some people for them, and golly, they've changed since I was a kid
I got an Olympic runner guy with running blades prosthetics and a Harpy with articulated wings! I found out that they're making minifigs now that includes some wild fantasy elements and disability representation. I really want to find the dog groomer one with the Afghan hound and has a cochlear implant, the dog is cute and since hard-of-hearing runs in my family, that has a bit of a personal sentimental concept there...
Anyway, my Valentine's day was pretty cool. Nothing but good luck, people were very polite and friendly, and absolutely nothing went wrong this year. š„¹
#We also went to a Mongolian buffet and it was great#And I found an epic Lego Dots set marked down to an irresistible and reasonable price#They have these wonderful color tiles that are like a neon 90s aesthetic and the tiles will smooth out the builds nicely#I got some second hand bricks and tiles and have been testing out ideas that includes tactical fidgeting functions#I haven't built with Legos since 2011 so this will be a great time#I used to have a massive box of pieces my brothers gave me over the years but they had to be donated because they couldn't fit in the van#I'm gonna just keep everything in a bucket now#To save space#But I mostly want bricks and tiles and snot bricks and technics#Snot bricks just means studs not on top like an acronym#It's the funny bricks with connections on the sides#I've been watching so many cool lego deep dive videos and the new techniques and possibilities I've seen makes me want to try new ideas#I've always been a builder at heart I just love making stuff and I miss my old lego because I used to build visuals for my art as a kid#Lego ain't just for kids anymore and I love it#I'm obsessed with the Dots right now too#So cute

taemin is actually a genius for making criminal and idea connect like that. criminal being about losing yourself and falling to hell and letting yourself be destroyed in a toxic relationship and idea being about realizing how much you idolized the other person and changed yourself for them and breaking free of that and dragging yourself out of that hell and up to heaven isā¦. wow.
#and the fucking. visuals they put together for that.#i definitely didnt just connect all these dots the other day#personal#taem analysis

I had to gut five pages of trikaranos and rearrange some of the beats, which makes it the first major revision with it I've had to make, and yet somehow. SOMEHOW. the fucking (redacted) scene remains. if anything, it became cemented in the story despite my attempts to revise it not once but three times.
#the voyeurism arc is the centerpiece of it so ofc it remains its just that theres an additional third subtext to the panel framing#that has me going. man that's too much. we're exposing WAY too much of ourselves with this#do i think anyone else will be able to connect the dots between the visuals and my bullshit? no. however i have to live with the fact#that somehow it's become integral to the visuals and I WILL KNOW. i will know. (leans back in chair) i will......know.............#i watched the fucking. snails and oysters scene in spartacus and went 'i can turn the heat up on this' with crassus apparently

I figured it out. Carrie and Willow are going to be my go to OCs for any given whump prompt. Hardcore whump? Let us reflect on Willowās time with the institute >:) Caretaker fluff? Hurt comfort? Homeboy Carrie got us covered.
#iāve connected the dots#(I havenāt connected shit)#See my issue is I just canāt really write any story with Caretaker and Whumpee as names#not that thereās anything wrong with it#I just. Cant do it for some reason lol#So voila. Now I have two new ocs with very original names bwahaha#and the original prompt that got me writing for them was vague enough that I could build a whole world around it#so it WORKS#and this way people can just read whatever part they want with the trope they want!! aw yea#or more accurately#I can write whatever trope I want#and the whole point of Carrie and Willow is that they are blank paper dolls to play with and for others to visualize#althoughā¦ I am beginning to have a visionā¦#ocs#whump#whump writing

yes hello it is "having epiphanies about the lore" hours
#why can't i have epiphanies about the lore at like. 5pm#why does it always have to be when i'm either supposed to be working or sleeping#also hey how would people feel about me making videos to explain my lore theories/interpretations?#cause like. i'm really struggling to explain things in writing for some reason#but when i'm talking abt it either with someone or just like. talking out loud to myself lol it's easier#so lately i've been thinking what if i just recorded myself talking abt it and then posted that#rather than continue struggling to write it all out#idk i feel like videos are less accessible than written posts but maybe not#i could include visual aids!#and i could prolly write up a transcript as well#i'd have notes at least#anyway lmk if any of you have thoughts#bc i sure as hell do and i want to share them but i have adhd and it is Hard#personal#connecting the dots
