and, last but definitely not least, thank-you-request #13 goes to the wonderful @kusurrone, who asked for the comedy! this one was hard to nail down cause there came too many ideas (as the comedy often prompts), and in the end i went with The Big Three cause it felt right. i think this turned out nice for all its simplicity, and can only thank you for your request, and for all your art!! happy holidays!

Hozier's Hymn to Virgil

“There’s points where Virgil picks Dante up and carries him over certain places, and puts him on the back of beasts who fly him over ravines and all of this fantastical stuff. He holds this guy when he faints and trembles and weeps,” Hozier said. “Dante the living human in this poem is, like, horrified. And then he arrives at the end of it, and Virgil says, ‘Well, I can go no further.’ And Dante, the writer, knows on some level that Virgil is not a man who deserves to be in hell.”

In Praise of the Stygian. A cold breath runs down the back of my neck. I turn, yet I am only faced with darkness. A faint whisper beckons me forward. "Come to the dark," it says, "Join us." Do I move closer?
