i don't know what is about both this and last year's artfight that have inspired so much art violence in me

The AHIT OCs competition is having a second season so naturally I'm giving it another shot jahdkf

This time it's my stinky old man Gallow that gets to run in the polls at @ahatintime-oc-competition

Just out of curiosity, what exactly does Gallow look like? I know you give a description of him in the fic, but I'd love to see a visual and how you see him!

Btw, I absolutely love how drew Cabaji and Mohji in that one post❤️

The average, boring bitch boy himself. Gallow.

And thank you💙 I don't draw Cabaji and Mohji nearly as much as I should.

Added a new character to artfight for the first time in three years. Meet my super basic monster boy: Gallow. Looks middle age, has pointy ears and pointy teeth. Lives the life of an interplanetary migrant worker.

My grandfather and my godfather (a beloved neighbor and dear family friend) had a long standing bet- for one dollar- about who would die first. Both of them being slightly pessimistic (in the funny way), they both insisted that they themselves would be the first to die. Any time my grandfather had a health scare, he’d gleefully call up my godfather to boast that he’d be passing “any day now” and he was sure to win the bet. It was a big family joke and they were always amiably sparring and comparing notes about who was in worse shape, medically speaking.

When my grandfather was in hospice care dying of liver cancer, my godfather was quite ill also. It took him great effort to make the journey to see his dying friend. As he came into the room, supported by a family member, he shuffled to my grandpa’s bedside and silently handed him a dollar bill. He was ceding his loss of the bet, as they both knew who was going first. My grandpa had been in quite bad shape for a while and was no longer able to speak but let me tell you he snatched that dollar with unexpected strength and literally laughed aloud. He knew exactly what the gesture meant and he couldn’t help but find the humor within the grief. It was the last time any of us heard my grandpa laugh, as he passed shortly after.

When I talk about my appreciation for “dark humor” I’m not so much thinking about edgy jokes, but rather the human instinct to somehow, impossibly, both find and appreciate the absurdity that is so often folded into the profound grief of life and death. When I tell this story I think it kind of perturbs people sometimes, but it’s honestly one of my favorite memories about two men I really deeply admired. I could never hope for anything more than for my loved ones to remember me laughing until the very end, and taking joy in a little joke as one of my final acts.

Crime is already totally defeated so all systems are trustworthy and all criminals are not. All criminals don't exist because they are totally defeated and totally convicted and have none willing to defend them. All already went to the gallows.

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

Dragon age 2 is really like "the mage-templar conflict is highly nuanced and there is no telling who is truly correct. Anyway this is where we store our mages. It's an island with a fortress called The Gallows and it's an old slave prison."
