A Circus Library - quick recommendations of short stories, poems, comics and novels I've recently read #1
Hello there! I'm the circus resident poltergeist, Eliott, managing this blog until Lav comes back. Today I offer you a slightly different formula of my super awesome super rare super bookclub post, as Lav would say!
Hello hello hello! Is this a bookclub?! Is this chaotic ramble?! Ding ding! You got it wrong!
Writing full on reviews is tiedous and long, and while I appreciate doing it, I'm myself not always in the mood to read a long post explaining why a book is genius. Do I love that from time to time? Yes! Do I have the attention span to write one now? Nope! However, I still wanted to share some titles I recently (re)discovered, and that I think are marvellous reads for anyone wanting to dive into something new.
Here you'll find a few recommendations with the shortest of words to tell you why they are great, or just scream about it.
short disclaimer before I begin because this is tumblr and while I forgot a lot about this website, I remember how the TW thing works lol, it's at your own discretion to search for the works beforehand if you have any trigger you don't want to encounter.
Jack Spicer - Billy the kid
The master of my fate, captain of my soul as Timothée Chalamet would say idk I barely know the guy. Classic and gold, Spicer is an amazing writer and this poem is phenomenal. It's quite short and perfect if you want to know more about the wonder that was US American poetry during the 20th century. Of course I'd encourage you to read all of his works, but Billy the Kid is perfect to start somewhere.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa - Hell Screen
Classic and iconic, I've recently pushed further than Rashomon and boy oh boy am I never turning back. Hell Screen is a phenomenal short story displaying all the elegance and cruelty Akutagawa can incorporate in his works. It's mesmerizing, it aches, it's everything I love. I read this story in Jay Rubin's translation (Penguin Classics), and even though I do not speak Japanese so I cannot compare, I dare say it's a very good one.
Lucie Bryon, Thieves
I never recommended comic books before but I wanted to for a change! I am a huge comic book lover, but most of the ones I usually read are not available in english language. This one is, though. Thieves is a beautiful comic about growth, falling in love and finding acceptance in others and in yourself. It's light and heartwarming, like eating candy.
Ottessa Moshfegh, Lapvona
Now, this book exploits one of my biggest plot weaknesses ever, and that is fucked up people in medieval settings. Lapvona tells the story of Marek, a sheperd's son, who'll be caught in a series of unfortunate events, political struggles, and secrets, all inside the town of Lapvona. It's dark and unsettling, the characters are scandalous and horrible, yet sickeningly human. Now, I said to check the TW yourselves, but be very careful with this one, if you can think of a TW, then it's certainly in this book.
Osamu Dazai, Early Light
In the Storybook ND series, this book contains three short stories : Early Light, Three Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, and Villon’s Wife. I'd recommend the three of them, as it's a fantastic dive into Dazai's shorter works. I think that reading his short stories is very important to understand his work and the width of the subjects and stories he wrote about. It helps that once again, in my opinion, the translation chosen by this publishing house is so good.
This is it for today! Here you have five of the works I read (or re-read) this summer, and that I'd warmly recommend. There are two short stories (Dazai, Akutagawa), a comic book (Bryon), a novel (Moshfegh) and a poem (Spicer). 'Till next time!
#circusghost#here we go again#this is a shorter formula but i'm glad it allows me to talk about several books#really#i cannot stress it enough#please read Jack Spicer at least once in your life#i am not a fan of contemporary US american literature and media whatsoever#however there was a wave of poetry that's really interesting during the last century and Spicer was part of it#lololol anyway#i have a newfound love for Akutagawa these days and he makes me want to read Gogol again#these authors are the same dudes in different fonts#this summer i read mostly japanese and american lit and it shows lol#lapvona is a great book but it's also the darkest out of this list so beware!#its ending is phenomenal tho#let me know if you read any of these or if you have some book recs yourselves!#or if you want specific ones#my book year started again and we're currently sitting at 33 since july#hurray!#eliott

it's funny to me because this isn't even who they actually are in the self-indulgent Hella-Swap AU that lives rent free in my head at all times, but every time i watch this ep my heart yearns so badly for Angel to get to exist as the literal embodiment of (non-self-destructive??) partying & having a good time, so i Finally gave in to the massive need i've had to draw this image for ages now lmao~ TwT
and was this also perhaps just a perfectly plausible excuse to get to draw Husk in a cutoff leather jacket? ...what are you, a cop?? mind your business x'3c
(p.s. if it wasn't glaringly obvious, i definitely cobbled together the bg from the show itself so all the shoutouts/credits/etc. to whichever of the talented crew put together this gorgeous scene; if anyone knows/has links to the specific artist(s) for this one lmk so i can update accordingly~! ✌️✨)
#huskerdust#hazbin hotel#anyways Character Design Is My PassionTM i know but it was fun trying to fuse the designs together even if im not great at it lololol#also the cartoon logic of Husk's eyebrow somehow still working like that made me cackle with So Much glee xD#so so sooooooo normal about husk being able to fit angel's entire waist in one hand Ha Ha so normal <3#my art#mostly lmao

Anonymous asked: Hello!! For art requests, perhaps some zolu? (Zoro and Luffy)
b0yskylark asked: Splickedy!! Maybe you can draw your favorite One Piece ship?? Personally I think if Zoro and Sanji kissed a lil they'd calm tf down lol
I do find Zosan pretty delightful--LOVE a rivals-to-rival/lovers pairing--and for that matter, Franky/Robin is GREAT and whips ass and both pairings were on the candidate list. But lbr I'm a huge sucker for that captain/first mate intense loyalty "til death do us part and you're not allowed to die" shit. plus Luffy being all but canonically ace means I can bring my no-holds-barred-all-romance-no-sex moirail agenda to yet another pairing which is GREAT for me emotionally. eue
What I'm saying is yo ho yo ho a pirates little late afternoon nap holding hands like otters so I don't drift away for me yar har
#One Piece#Roronoa Zoro#Monkey D. Luffy#Zolu#Splickedydoodles#I just meant Luffy's hand to be hanging down but it DOES look like he's just napping with a handful of titty. and honestly. good for him.#first mate roronoa ''canonically biggest bust size on the crew'' zoro your chest looks heavy can i hold it for you U_U#Listen the way Oda draws bodies is not attractive especially as his art's evolved. sorry sensei art is subjective and so on. but!#I'm looking disrespectfully at the Zoro translated into my art style in my head lmao. Anyway I couldn't bring myself to put a shirt on him#Sorry or you're welcome. whichever applies here lololol

realizing that people who equate cynicism with intellectual rigor are often just being lazy and pathetic has been so helpful tbh
#like the endless amount of cynicism i see on here particularly amongst american leftists just very much reads to me#as a combination of moral ocd and identity politics / optics#where if you’re sad/angry enough it excuses you from participating in the real world#instead of like. funneling a real desire to see positive change into channels of action#anyways. aoc and rashida talib the only bitches out here i respect#i am never going to be a person who responds to like. paragraphs about how electoral politics are evil or america is evil like yeah. true.#but i live here. people i love live here. strangers i love live here. so now what do i do that is Real outside of the whining chamber#optimism = stupid / fatalism = intellect is like. LOLOLOL#we all have to chose to believe that we can create a world that is livable#which is not to say i am#at all aligned with the dem#establishment or the liberal agenda but like. i’m not taking myself out of the game bc i believe i can Do Something and it’s my duty to do

hey ive had a couple ppl say they like the way i do colors and some others say they dont know HOW i apply weird palettes would anyone be interested in a tutorial. because i find a palette i like before i even lay out base color usually.
#i am NOT a high enough level artist to be giving advice mostly LOLOLOL#but color is what im most proud of and i feel like i get the most notes on so#plus if im teaching HOW to apply not like..best practice... then well i cant misdirect by accident#also the pictures palettes on those drawings came BEFORE i colored the drawing if im making sense#like i didnt pull the palette from the finished one#i keep my saved palettes in my files#anyway can u tell i loaded 2 boxes then got tired of packing#also this way if ur not interested in a tut u can just not vote lolol
