it is not merely a question of whether or not we have learned to analyze in particular kinds of ways, or whether people are able to intellectualize about a variety of experiences. It is also about coming to believe in the possibility of a variety of experiences, a variety of ways of understanding the world, a variety of frameworks of operation, without imposing consciously or unconsciously a notion of norm - Elsa Barkley Brown

#school readings #but like it feels relevant to the conversations i feel like i have on here #about whether or not characters are good or bad #or whether or not they are redeemed #and about the right way to read texts #and the right way to write stories #and like multiple things can be true at once #every situation is made up of different people coming from different places who are effected differently #and most of the time there are not absolute villains and absolute heroes #depending on your experience of the world #depending on your framework #your hero might be someone else's villain #or vice versa #it is all so messy #and you need to be able to hold multitudes in your head #to see humanity as a kaleidoscope not a window #or a mirror #i might have lost this metaphor #tedtalk over #soph rambles #text post #quote #wow fully misattributed that quote by accident because i am a terrible academic #i have fixed it now #from a paper by joy parr but she is quoting brown #no one cares probably but i do #my bad ELSA

"just as I did, in 1983."

you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable

#my art #interview with the vampire #iwtv amc #iwtv #armand iwtv #daniel molloy #armand #armandaniel #devils minion #drew this before the finale but idk maybe this is during the unspecified amount of time between armands divorce and daniels press tour #the titian painting doesnt fit at ALL with the timeline btw #i THOUGHT it did bc i assumed 1508 was when armand was turned into a vampire BUT upon reflection thats more likely the year he was born #and even then the painting was made in like 1510 so fuck me i guess. also im foggy on when armand was taken to rome #idk man i havent read the books and i failed art history on two separate occasions i cannot endeavor for accuracy #anyway as much as i love 70s/80s devils minion i have equal love for old man daniel #his cynicism has been tempered by time... refined like a diamond... he dont gaf and bullies his loser vampire and its hilarious #like ''sure yeah fine all these old italian renaissance guys saw ur ethereal otherworldly beauty but literally anybody can see that''#''IM the only mf who gets to experience the incandescent joy of seeing you be a messy idiot''#sidenote trying to make armand look unflattering is impossible u can blame the show for casting the worlds most beautiful man

gouache falin

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #falin touden #chimera falin #traditional art #illustration #gouache #i haven’t touched my paints in so long! i made this a challenge for myself to work with all these reds and get something cool out of it #ignore how messy my edges turned out - my tape roll is like 7 years old and barely sticks anymore #unsure if i should tag for nudity to be safe but also i’ve seen her shirtless more times on my tl this week then anything else ever so.

dragon meat, you, and me

#marcille donato #falin touden #farcille #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #tw blood #tw body horror #tw gore #as a normal farcille fan this revival has been on my mind since i first read it and getting to watch it is like yippee!!#like messy revivals are everything - the consequences that will haunt u for the rest of the time they are alive #the initial hopeful moments where it all seemed well but quickly descend to That not being the case - losing not only the bit of evidence #evidence that your dream may work out but also someone you deeply care about in the process… marcille my Beloved #ofc wholly thruout the journey - at the forefront of it - getting falin back was the most crucial point but so wuickly :(( it was lost #on the other end its crazy to think about the compoments of falin now - human - dragon (dungeon) - marcille’s magic and desperation #the food the crew cooked (digested) - she is made of many parts!!#also i did not realize how medical it feels to draw smth like this. i dont usually explore the inner parts or use a lot of blood #in my work so rendering everything and looking up refs it felt quite magical (?)#ruporas art

HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!

#tiger tiger #ludovica bonnaire #remy bonnaire #jamis arlesi #This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy? Do you need a new bra? My hands are free on Thursdays!'#And Ludo! My lass! I love her dearly! Every page made me more fond of her.#Book smart and uses it in very good ways! Naive enough to think it is all she needs! Learns a lot and stays kind through the horrors!#I could go on and on but...you...the person reading this...you *are* going to read it - aren't you?#So I'd hate to spoil you any more! Go read Tiger Tiger! Do it! For the sea sponges!#Rumour has it they are also freshly divorced. It was messy. Sea sponge needs a distraction. That could be you. Distracting that sponge.#You wont know until you click that link and start reading!

Just a little young rev America because I've been making pumpkin scones and it's cold in the morning so basically it's fall and I always get rev war feels in the fall.

#aph america #hetalia #fanart #my art #messy art #messing around #I love that most of the year I've been stupid busy so I couldn't work on all my fun DC fanart #But now that I have some time the season betrays my mood and the old fandoms came to say hi lol.

The Princess and Hero of the First Great Calamity

The orange snoot is very important to me….

#tloz #princess zelda #link #assumedly?#botw #totk #technically #loz redesigns round 2 #the first great calamity #the ancient heroes aspect #the ancient hero’s aspect #art #my art #redesign #listen this is probably the one and only time ill draw something furry so if it looks a bit wonky i dont really care lmao #this is one of the few designs where im Under designing one of the characters #ie the heroes aspect is such a messy design #i went of the mural a little bit more for the coloring so a little more orangey red involved in his design #and also changing his face to look a little less offputting #and the greener looking eyes from the mural #the darker fur also helps the teal pop #but yes i made his armor a little less zonai-y and a tad more guardian inspired?#i didnt take away all the zonai vibes because he’s seemingly related to them somehow #i do wish we had a timeline for how long after rauru sealed ganon that this calamity happened #but oh well #but yeah uh zelda #vaguely based on sonia #thats pretty much all i have to say about her lmao #i used more neutrals on her dress to semi emulate the pure white of the mural #while also bringing in more of those sheikah tech colors

#I was going to add other things but there's something nuts in this being in only Illario's words.#Always thinking about the messy and fraught and just... the genuine grief and choked affection and fucked up love in this relationship.#I think Illario loves him despite it all. Despite the doom and murder. And that the demon thing is a genuinely maddening grief and guilt.#Exactly the same way that Lucanis loves Illario through it all even when it's full of pain and grief and rage and hurt.#I considered adding more Illario following Lucanis in Wigmaker quotes but that's bludgeoning the point a little. The steps one is best.#ty rosie for the screenshot on the codex entry so I can make this post #Illario Dellamorte #Lucanis Dellamorte #Dragon Age: The Veilguard #Tevinter Nights #Dragon Age #Dragon Age The Veilguard #Veilguard #DATV spoilers #Veilguard spoilers #DATV things

btw i feel like this shouldn't have to be said but the reason that agatha hates rio is because agatha didn't get to say goodbye to nicky. rio couldn't offer her any more time. and, in rio's mind, nicky going peacefully in his sleep (and even telling him to turn around and kiss agatha goodbye!!) is the one grace rio feels she can give agatha. nicky doesn't suffer. he doesn't fight. he just...goes. he goes on a walk with his mother and kisses his mama goodbye. but agatha doesn't get to say goodbye!!! she doesn't get those final moments with him!! she wakes up and he's already gone.

#agatha all along #aaa spoilers #agatha all along spoilers #agatha harkness #idk i keep seeing people say that like. there's no reason for agatha to hate rio bc of how gentle she was collecting nicky and its like #i don't think u are seeing it from agatha's pov.#unfortunately i am team agatha in the divorce. sorry.#also i do genuinely love that they were so messy.#agathario #kind of?#anyway. trust i have my docs open.#again so sorry to everyone who followed me for literally anything else #i also think some of agatha's coven killings for agatha were a way to balance the cosmic scale or whatever.#she kills enough witches and she might have the chance to get nicky back etc etc but im too tired to go into that further
