sunday six (monday whatever edition)

i've still got to catch up with my dash, but i've seen the bravest soldiers @overdevelopedglasses and @jichanxo posting sunday six, and i feel i must contribute as well (though it's late af to call it sunday six even in my timezone)

actually, i've been writing yesterday specifically to post it as a sunday six snippet, but it was late and i was sleepy and at one point started doubting the characterization, and decided nah... i should sleep on this before posting. so take it now just for the fun of it ig

Yagami wants to push him away, but fatigue overwhelms him, and his limbs start to feel like they’ve been filled with lead. “Did you drug me? I feel awful.”

“What? Of course not,” Kuwana sounds positively astounded. “Well, not in that way if that’s what you’re asking. It’s the medicine, it can make you extremely weary. If you want to, then sleep, you need rest.” Kuwana pauses, and when he opens his mouth again, his voice is lower, dangerous. “So, let’s make this quick.”

“Let’s make what quick?” the breath escapes Yagami, each word frailer than the previous. He wants to say something else, but his body cuts off his ability to talk altogether.

Kuwana’s hand is unmoving when he starts, “Is it the contrast of temperature?” He puts his other, cold hand on Yagami’s fevered body. The touch makes him shiver at most. “Hmm, no, doesn’t seem like it. You’re ticklish?” Kuwana’s fingers trail to Yagami’s ribs, their silken stroke causes no overreaction, “Yeah, I thought not, I would’ve already found out. Do you like being cared for?” He reaches out and gently cups Yagami’s cheek, looks him in the eyes and smiles wickedly, “I’m getting warmer, ain’t I?”

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn't use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like "...but just this once you can have it for free, don't tell my boss though" he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying "yes..... yes!!!!!" like the sickos comic

Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Here are my notes on the lower body muscles

Is she Lucy Westenra, or is she just a vessel for the writer's barely disguised fantasy of a women being punished for her promiscuity? Is she really"Bram Stoker's" Lucy Westenra: a naive, innocent 19 year old, with a cheery personality and a bright future ahead of her? Or has the writer instead just slapped her name on an OC that behaves nothing like her, and- with none of the grace or decorum that Lucy's tragically short story deserves- sexualized her slow and agonising death as much as possible, whilst very unsubtly doing their best to blame her for being murdered, so that we won't object to her being killed again later in an even more gruesome and sexual manner?
