Dante's Inferno - art by Gustave Doré (1861)

[defilerwyrm]

Dante Alighieri: people think my book is about the literal geography of Hell but actually it's about how these contemporary political and religious figures fucking suck

Tolkien: people think my book is about elves and hobbits and heroes and dragons and the evils of war but really it's about how industrialisation is ruining the English countryside and nature and that's why I describe EVERY TREE

Victor Hugo: people think my book is about a priest, a hunchback and a soldier falling in love with the same gypsy girl but actually it's about how the printing press is replacing cathedrals as a form of religious worship in medieval france

They'd FULLY get each other lol

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?

[bubblyernie]

I've been meaning to draw this for, I'm not even kidding, YEARS. Giving into my deepest demons, I've got an unhealthy obsession for Inferno and I just think it would be very in character and plot-relevant for Zag and Dante to just run into each other LOL
