July was a heck of a good reading month, and I've well and fallen into a historical romance hole. Both series by Allie Therin were *especially* good.

“Because ekphrasis is a rhetorical exercise, one in which an artist relates to another medium by describing its aesthetics, form, or thematic essence, the act of ekphrasis is therefore one of relations, a contract of kinships.”

"If we animate our mental health and think of its effects as kin rather than parasitic, can we make love to them? Transform them?"

legend has it that the young witch circe and the once beautiful nymph scylla shared a complicated past...

#art #cirscylla #that's the ship name i like for them best anyway #circe #scylla #greek mythology #welcome to my greek mythos yuri #DOOMED YURI #circylla #epic the musical #do i even tag it as that? i think i should cuz epic is the reason im so into greek mythos #jorge said we might get a spinoff about their backstory and im insane over that #i know it's probably going to be about how circe loved that one guy but still a girl can dream #this is them but younger! before circe turns scylla into the horrific man-eating monster that even poseiden fears #there's just so much potential here #consider a younger and much warier circe landing on the island for the first time after being outcasted by her family for her magic #and she meets scylla there who back then is a much happier and playful person #enemies to lovers to enemies again #i don't know if they ever make it to lovers or if they were only an almost #they're about to have the worst breakup in greek history #im rambling in tags MY BAD

Ghouls night out

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Scopophobia #Don't be mean Lan Wangji - the dead girl aesthetic is a curated one. Support women's rights to look dead!#I have been waiting for this scene for ages...the ghost girl entourage is such a good look for WWX.#And by gods does the audio drama actually do something interesting with one of them.#Namely that we actually get to see WWX talk with them and learn about who they were and what they left behind.#I love necromancer characters but it's way too common for them to be like “Go! Ghost no.145!” like they're a pokemon #and not...you know...someone who had a whole life that they left behind.#I love me a necromancer who has an awareness to whose soul/body they are using. It adds a lot of flavour!#MDZS is a little hit or miss with this. I think the fans do a lot of the work with making Mo Xuanyu a bigger character.#Yi City has this in spades. Even though we don't individually get character backstories #We get many painful reminders about how these 'corpses' were people.#We also get a few lines about how WWX used whatever corpses he could get his hands on (including grandparents - Woof!)#MDZS often (but not always) likes to remind us that every sacrifice and every ghost was a person.#It is so close to nailing the landing regarding the deconstruction of the necromancer character.#Anyhow. You may have noticed the uptick in quality in the last two comics. Rule of three means next one is going to be a treat B*)#See you all very soon!

happy pride month

#surprise. it's a bit. i actually drew the punchline earlier and was like “oh ill make up the lead in later”#and then the lead-in ended up being 8 pages long and semi-serious. kms. and my wrist #isat #isat spoilers #odile #siffrin #mirabelle #i want to be her best friend irl and im so serious i adore her #anyways. long post be upon ye dash again sorry #art #god i hope this one lands im worried it sucks. oh well. cant all be bangers #also this isnt the same universe or context or whatever as the other comic like this its just bits #also. the trick to getting siffrin to agree to themself being loved is to just confuse them with something else. like a dog taking a pill #long post

*Reverses your Christmas*

A gift from @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are to all of you :) we really wanted the boys to get along for once, and what better occasion than Christmas? anything to make the Edwins happy!

#dbda #dead boy detectives #payneland #reverse verse #palasaki #only a little tho #christmas #the rv boys usually go to church on christmas tho charles only does so to be supportive/a menace #the kfc joke is a japanese thing #both edwins love the lights and the whole process of decorating #charles and edwin have been waiting decades to make the chorb joke #luckily it landed!#the crystal are used to spending the season either on boring dinners with their parents or alone #they get a lot of presents tho #charles likes to check on his parents on christmas though he doesn't remember them being this calm when he was alive #i was going to make a joke about crystal being visited by three ghosts (niko edwin and charles) because a christmas carol is my favorite #christmas story but if i got distracted that would get a plot #so i decided to leave it #don't worry the charles will probably go back to hating each other after this #merry crisis everyone

this is basically what happened, right?

(these guys are very lucky that everyone at NRC 1) has the combined intelligence of a sack of bricks, and 2) is easily distracted by shiny things.)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #stage in playful land #stage in playfulland #these two are SO sleazy and i am utterly delighted by them #can't wait to find out their tragic backstory in approximately 3-4 weeks!#fortunately i have like a month to figure out how the heck to draw their hair (spoiler: i will never figure it out)#also. god. i love it whenever leona accidentally reveals his Mom Side.#he doesn't care about any of this but he WILL be tagging along to make sure no one else gets into trouble #once again he has to be the Responsible Adult and he hates it. the whimsical hat weighs heavy upon his head.#anyway this is me so excuse me while i now talk about diasomnia for three hours #but lilia being all 'kids gotta have some adventure in their lives!' is hilarious #specifically because you know silver would NEVER.#100% silver not only never snuck out but he always went to bed on time AND brushed his teeth AND flossed even when nobody made him.#lilia: aww but you should be enjoying your youth! >:c #silver: i am. i enjoy being respectful and disciplined and honoring you as my father.#lilia:#lilia: maybe i'm TOO good at raising kids #you know i was going to say none of his kids would be involved in this but i actually think malleus definitely would #he would not see it as a moral quandry though. he would just be excited to be invited along.#(the only reason he isn't there is because he was busy admiring a termite-infested beam somewhere and yuu didn't get a chance to ask him)#i mean MAYBE if lilia as his single authority figure told him no then he would have some reservations #but lilia's the one who's screaming HELL YEAH LET'S SNEAK OUT AND DEFY AUTHORITY while dabbing so moot point there #sebek would never and he would rat on everyone else. unless malleus is going in which case he's already there.#and i guess if everyone else is going silver probably would too #but he'd. y'know. feel conflicted about it.

Something something Merlin is Arthur's bane.

#i just love the idea that merlin literally fabricates the Excalibur thing to show that arthur is the chosen one. that he will unite the #land and rule albion. but it is literally. actually. all an illusion bc merlin has already damned arthur thru his actions... or rather #his inactions. becoming Arthur's bane. i wish that was the actual premis of the show in an intentional way. young merlin tries to live in a #way that's moral despite what is Known in the future. he actions are motivated by love to protect arthur but with each action we #close in around arthurs death. i wish that wasnt something thr show just stumbled into thru poor writing? early cancelation?#i dunno. we can argue all day abt the prophesy and whether or not its real or something merlin should live by #but i love the idea that it is real and true and every move merlin makes agaisnt it is a curse upon arthur. by keeping himself clean he #damns his king. delicious. rather than uh oh. uhhhh seems like merlin kinda fucked everything. oops 😬#i dunno. i just love a tragedy #merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #ugh and if merlin followed the prophecy arthur would b king but merlin would be a shadow of himself #also. did i fuck the rock up yes?#did i fuck up on the rock blood? yes #should i have gone with a rainbow swish for the sword? yes #but here we are. happy Christmas #tw blood

So in a lot of fanfics I’ve read Edwin is touch averse to everyone, including Charles, and it’s like “touches like this are rare” blah blah blah (not hating bcs I love them all) but if we look at the show, they casually touch all the time, (they’re obsessed with each other). My absolute favourite scene is in episode one where Charles is trying to teach Edwin boxing and he’s all bouncing around and he does this thing where he mimes drilling into Edwin’s head with a hand drill and Edwin just looks like he’s trying not to smile and lightheartedly shoves him away. Trust me that is not something you do with someone you’re not comfortable touching. Give me Edwin seeking out touch from Charles and he’s so gentle even in his admonishments and it’s not the kind of touch either of them are used to. Give me Charles shying away from Edwin at first because he had to be such a typical boy when he was alive and the only touches with his friends were slaps on the back or punches on his arms, and he wouldn’t dare hurt Edwin because he’s the best person Charles has met. Give me them learning how to touch until it’s so casual they barely notice when Charles swings his legs over Edwin’s on their little sofa, or when Edwin uses a hand on Charles’ back when he’s going past, or when they fumble into each other (because come on they’re lanky teenage boys they don’t have control over their limbs, coming from a lanky teenager) smoothing over the nonexistent pain with their palms.

TLDR: I want more soft DBD fanfics with casual (platonic) touches until it’s not so platonic anymore.

#dead boy detectives #payneland #that is a very apt portmanteau because they send me to pain land #i love them #i’m literally going insane #they make me ill #no im not projecting #but my relationship with touch is very similar to Edwin’s and I want to cry about it thank you very much #I’m aware that this is probably not very coherent #paineland #edwin payne #charles rowland #lgbtq
