sometimes i think about how zuko begging the universe to strike him with lightning when he was trying to learn how to redirect it. even though he hadn’t successfully done it before and he had been struggling with it in the episode. and he knew that if the lightning struck him and he couldn’t redirect it that he would die because he would be essentially be struck by lightning. zuko was pretty much on his knees begging the universe to end his life.
#zuko#atla zuko#prince zuko#avatar the last airbender#uncle iroh#dante basco#i’m normal about him!!#i don’t lay awake at night thinking about him#atla#atla universe#zuko is so. superiror. in the saddest way possible.

THIS IS A JOKE THIS IS A JOKE THIS IS A JOKE dante and lady have an oops baby but lady is transgender and would have aborted that thang if she had the right equipment anyway so what happened was actually 100% dante’s fault and also:
it WAS just there when he woke up. what the FUCK!!!
(neither of them can figure out what niche confluence of demonic energy spawned a demon baby egg because dante has never received demonic sex education but this has definitely scared him off of a) fooling around in his devil trigger form and b) sex in general for like, the next couple of decades. minimum.)
#they aren’t dating but they did fool around a little#now canonically of course dante is a virgin—#dmc tag#dante did you lay this egg

Oh, your love is sunlight
Happy (late) Valentine's Day (version without text ↓ +description in tags)
#east blue asylum wing au#zosan#zoro x sanji#zs#first off if its bad quality - it's a huge canvas and it's more pixelated if i try to export the picture than if I screenshot so... :/#I sometimes like assigning songs to different dynamics and or characters I play around with and I've been recently listening to#a lot of Hozier again and I'd like to think that Sunlight is how Zoro sees Sanji - he is Icarus flying to the sun and he is willing to get#burned if only to reach the sunlight - it's a deathtrap... because of course it is... all attachments are but Sanji's love is the death tra#that he welcomes like a moth to a flame because even Icarus felt the bliss and freedom before his wax melted#I haven't depicted it here but Sanji's Hozier song for Zoro would probably be NFWMB because in his eyes Zoro is this untouchable force#that would watch the world go up in flames and when the time Sanji wouldn't mind being a tree just to fuel his fire (im well aware how#cheesy that sounds just bare with me... or better yet listen to the song its really good trust me ok?)#the world starts and ends with him and where they lay#and their shared Hozier song is Francesca because if anything in this au zosan are two lovers stuck in Dante's inferno and sprinting back i#only for the chance to get back to their lover and if that meant going back into hell to look for each other then so be it#there's a part of the song that goes “My life was a storm / Since I was born / How could I fear any hurricane?” which is pretty fitting imo#op#fan art#my art

Yh I get its dark romance, i love dark romance but in most dark romances the guys would never put their girl in a dangerous position
From what I’ve seen lately I beg to differ 😭
That’s all they do especially with the topic of “breeding” even worse a lot of popular dark romances right now include scenes of SA from the male lead towards the female lead which is putting a person they love in a dangerous position. I think in one of the SJM series, the male lead doesn’t tell the female lead that her pregnancy could kill her because he wants the child? Like this is actually a pretty common topic with parenthood in dark romance
#but like I said with Carmen#it’s not like you’re obligated to romance him#if it’s not comfortable for you then don’t do it#but I do call it a romance because there is love there#it’s just destructive#Dante wants Luce’s children that’s a big reason he wants a big family#because he just wants Luce and him to be together on a biological level#this is me laying all the cards on the table for you potential romancers to know#but also like it’s not like you’ll see this part of their life the epilogue doesn’t go so much into it#SA#Dante#EC#pregnancy

LITTLE SAINT
listen Ahi giustizia di Dio! tante chi stipa nove travaglie e pene quant’ io viddi? e perché nostra colpa sì ne scipa?
"Ah, Justice of God, who heaps up such strange punishment and pain as I saw there? and why do our sins so waste us?" For Santino D'Antonio: John Wick's bitter ex, my most beloved villain, and whose name means sacred or little saint.
___
John Wick 2 may have come out nearly a decade ago, but being a Santino girl is a chronic condition. Cover and track list images are details from Caravaggio's Bacchus, and the epigraph is from Canto VIII of Inferno, translated by Robert and Jean Hollander.
Some extended thoughts about my process and choice of epigraph and cover under the read more!
This playlist mostly started because I was listening to "Young Caesar 2000," said to myself, wow, this would be a great Santino song, and put it alone on a new playlist. From there, for about a year, I'd throw on anything that particularly reminded me of Santino, songs that felt, not like they described him, but that they might narrate part of his inner monologue and feeling. Some John/Santino vibes starting slipping in there (almost inevitably), but I knew I wanted to keep things really closely tied to how Santino understands himself. I narrowed things down, did some ordering for the overall arc and (hopefully) smooth transitions, and here we are!
Essential to my understanding of Santino (and thus this playlist's formation) is NeverwinterThistle's Unholy Union and asuralucier's The Man You Want to Be, both of which you should absolutely run, not walk, to read.
I'll let the tracklist mostly speak for itself, but I hopefully captured Santino's arrogance and the fundamental emptiness and deep insecurity that arrogance covers. I really do think John is something real and true for Santino, in a world full of posturing, but he eventually cannot resist instrumentalizing John, just like everyone else. JW 2 is one of the JW movies most pessimistic about masculinity (if not THE most pessimistic), and the arc of this playlist would certainly be very different without Mitksi's "I'm Your Man." Which is Mitski's most pessimistic song about masculinity! So it all works out.
The title -- The fact that Santino's name means "little saint" has fascinated me since my first cursory google search that delivered this factoid, and I've always kept it in my back pocket when thinking about Santino as a character. He's always the little brother. His petulance and pettiness is so essential to his character, and it's, of course, what makes him such a great foil to John (who imagines himself as a rational actor, but has his matching streak of the petulance). Santino inherits all this splendor, and all he can do is try and claw out more and more. A petty saint, and certainly never a god.
Why Bacchus? -- Well, I was trying to get a good film still for the cover and eventually gave up, so then I went to go find something appropriately aesthetic for a playlist cover. I was going to do a Dutch Golden Age still life bc that's what I'm writing about rn and lushness (and rot) is so essential to Santino, but then I was like. this guy is Italian. SUPER Italian. Who's an Italian with dramatic shadows and lush still lifes? And thus Caravaggio. Bacchus because revelry, excess, beauty, ect....also the invitation of the painting--he's holding out the goblet to you, asking you to join him. But mostly because it's beautiful.
Why Dante? -- I KNEW this bitch had to have an epigraph from Inferno once I realized this was going to be a real playlist. I mean, speaking of pessimism! The Divine Comedy feels so crazy to read as a modern reader bc it's like. yeah all this suffering is God's perfect justice. That guy eating his own shit is part of the divine plan. Which, to me, lines up really well with my read on masculinity in the JW movies--perfect, unchangeable, and committing you to endless suffering.
Alright, let's really get into it. This tercet ("Ah, Justice of God, who heaps up / such strange punishment and pain as I saw there? / and why do our sins so waste us?") come early in Canto 7, as Virgil and Dante (our POV character and protagonist) leave the third circle of Hell, Gluttony, and enter the fourth circle, Avarice and Prodigality ("Why do you squander...Why do you hoard" is probably the most famous quote from this circle). If Santino was to end up anywhere, it would be in one of those two circles, so I enjoy that this is the point in the text Dante asks these two questions!
Speaking of: despite God's perfection, Dante sure loves to question what he sees in hell and then...not resolve those questions in any way. It's interesting to see that "who heaps up / such strange punishment and pain as I saw there?" is a question addressed to the "Justice of God" when. well. the Justice of God is the thing heaping up these strange punishments and pain!
Dante seems unaware of the paradox, here, which has a real resonance for me in the way Santino is just like, well, I HAVE to blow up your house, John! I HAVE to put out a hit on you after you fulfill the marker, John! But to point to the times he acted out of compassion (not calling in John's marker during his retirement) would completely undermine that logic. It says "there are some things more important than power," but if Santino acknowledged that, then he wouldn't be able kill his sister.
Dante can't walk through hell and say with his whole chest, "I don't think it should be like this, actually" and still trust and love God, so he doesn't. Santino can't believe "more power will make me more happy, our culture says so," and also consciously acknowledge that it's the culture under the Table (and his father!!! his god!!!) that has pitted him against his sister his whole life, that has instilled in him values that ultimately leave him empty. So he doesn't! And he dies trapped in that paradox.
And then that second question. "And why do our sins so waste us?" UGH. ugh. Dante. You fucking hit me hard with this one. This is the line that made me choose this tercet. There's so much to Santino, so much beauty, so much divinity--but our sins waste us. All that power is used only in pursuit of more power, and, in the end, he's destroyed by that pursuit. The first two lines of the tercet key into culture and the way we contort our selves to fit into culture, but this last line is just an exclamation of the tragedy. Why? we ask, and nobody answers.

Camping with heavy rainfall rn. Thinking about Aphmau taking Garroth with her on her adventures. He acts as her personal guard. In this scenario this is following his werewolf transformation. It turns into an absolute downpour on the two. Thankfully, Garroth covers Aphmau with his cape in hopes of keeping her warm and dry. When they finally set up camp to sleep she is still freezing. She asks him to sleep close to her. He ends up sleeping on her. He rests on top of the blanket and wraps his large form around her, tucking his fluffy head underneath her chin. Due to being a werewolf, he’s generally warmer. He also weighs a lot more than Aphmau. He keeps her warm throughout the night. He finds it embarrassing but never complains. He is her guard, he must keep her safe and warm.
When it’s raining and they cannot camp, he carries her on his back with his cape over her. He gets absolutely drenched but doesn’t voice a word of discomfort. Aphmau feels bad. She says he should warm himself up too. He convinces her that he’s completely fine.
When with Laurance and Dante he tries to protect them too. The difference between the three is that Garroth is the larger of them. He’s taller, wider, and fluffier. Thankfully Laurance has his inhuman properties so he mostly cuddles Dante and Aph.
When he and Laurance end up travelling together he is kept dry. Not from a lack of trying to protect Laurance. Laurance is simply very caring and forward. He makes sure Garroth is looked after too. It’s very odd.
Reality is, because of his werewolf transformation, he can sleep pretty much anywhere. He won’t die of hypothermia if he sleeps outside with nothing but the clothes on his back in the pouring rain.
Though he doesn’t like being freezing or soaked. He has to dry off and his hair gets very frizzy after being in the rain.
