DID YOU KNOW...

Damien Hirst created a statue of Saint Bartholomew in 2006 titled "Exquisite Pain"? And it's some Hellraiser Cenobite Clive Barker Cronenberg shit:

I mean, yeah, Saint Bart is often depicted carrying his skin around but zoowee mama. Please observe the intact ear on his removed skin. And they peeled his dimpus like a lil banana. I'm not sure why he's holding a magic wand but that's not the part I want to talk about. I wanna talk about the back of this statue:

They peeled his ass like a grape.

(It is so hard to find a picture of the backside peeled-orange-ass of this statue, let alone one without a watermark.)

And, yeah, that's his bellybutton and peepee skin hanging off his hide there. Delicate work.

Anyway, Damien Hirst wishes he were Francis Bacon but he isn't lmao.

Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes with a new/revived interest in a piece of media for my brain to think, "Okay, but what would my goblin child of an original character do?"

Tintin Tarot, part 2 - the Fool's Journey Continues. Part 1 can be found here! Me and @josephscoat came up with a list of Tintin characters assigned to the major arcana cards in a tarot deck after she realised how well Tintin mapped onto the Fool.

The Hanged Man - Sacrifice, martydom and hesitation. Frank Wolff's death in Explorers on the Moon really stuck with me. I watched the 90s cartoon adaptation of it with a friend recently and even though I knew what was going to happen, it still hit very hard. I replaced the living tree, which represents the potential for growth and knowledge on the original card, with the planet Earth.

Death - New beginnings, metamorphosis, fear of change and decay. Even just for the imagery I had to use Rascar Capac. His use in the narrative seems to demonstrate a fear of the unknown. As the Hierophant and the child from the Sun card appear on the original Death card, I opted to use Rascar Capac as he's in the same story as the Prince of the Sun and Zorrino, who we assigned to the Hierophant and the Sun respectively! Professor Tarragon replaces the dying person on the ground in the original card, and Inti the Incan sun god watches over the scene.

Temperance - Middle path, patience, finding meaning, but also could mean excess and a lack of balance when reversed. Haddock is famous for his tendency to fly off the handle at a moment's notice. But Haddock also has endless patience for Tintin's bullshit. His character arc is one of finding meaning in his life after hitting rock bottom. He is pouring bottles of Loch Lomond, as seen in the Magician card.

The Devil - Addiction, lust, materialism, playfulness. Who else is more devillish than Tintin's arch nemesis, Rastapopoulos? His schemes grow wilder and larger as he pursues wealth and revenge. While sexuality is famously absent from the Tintin series, Rastapopoulos and his associates certainly lust over money and control. Tom and Allan are held in chains, though they are clearly removeable. The choice is theirs if they wish to walk away.

The Tower - Sudden upheaval, disaster, but also an avoidance of disaster in reverse. Calculus' reusable nuclear powered moon rocket was literally ahead of its time, representing a huge shake up in technological advancement in the Tintin universe. However, the moon mission attracted a lot of sabotage and disaster which was narrowly avoided. While the characters had to rely on the rocket for safety, it's not necessarily predictable.

The Star - Hope and rejuvenation, but also discouragement and insecurity in reverse. The phostile meteorite ushered a global wave of panic and speculation initially, but once it landed it became a beacon for competing factions to get to in time. It has a property that allows living things to grow quickly and abnormally large, representing the abundance the Star card is supposed to signal. The Star is supposed to follow the trauma of the Tower. Picking the rocket and meteorite felt thematically appropriate as both have associations with space, a relatively new frontier.

The Moon - Illusions, intuition, fear, confusion, misinterpretation. Professor Phostle jumps to conclusions and makes wild predictions from shaky calculations. He's also conveniently moon shaped.

The Sun - Inner child, joy, truth and liberation from struggle, or sadness and self doubt in reverse. Zorrino escapes the torment and bullying in his village and joins the Inca. Haddock and Tintin are immediately protective over him, with Zorrino being a little younger than Tintin.

Judgement - Releasing baggage, call to action, renewal, moving forward. Ramo Nash breaks free from Rastapopoulos' grasp and saves Tintin's life. I decided to depict the final confrontation scene from Alph Art where he pushes Rastapopoulos off a cliff, to his end.

The World - Culmination, success, completion, but stagnation in reverse. The Fool has seemingly completed his journey - Tintin has it all, a successful fulfilling career, friends who care about him and a manion to live in. But he is, by design, stagnant. Forever a cherub faced boy, stuck in an episodic serial by nature, Hergé wanted to kill him off by sealing him inside a resin statue, freezing him in place for eternity. He will forever be the Boy Reporter.

I dressed him as a Morris dancer because I thought it would be funny

[blackwoolncrown]

and specifically- and I want to be as graceful and nuanced about this as possible...

no matter what side of things you are on...

be very very careful and thoughtful about such situations.

Loving someone is not a good reason to force yourself to give them something you really can't or don't want to. That works in every direction, though.

Loving someone is not a good reason to put their life before your own. You can if you want, truly you can, out of love, but that will not make the issue go away. Love and sacrifice don't always go hand in hand.

Someone having a reason they can't meet a need is cause for understanding that they are not abusing you or intentionally harming you--- it doesn't make your unmet need go away.

It doesn't lessen your pain at all!

I was in a relationship for 16 years where I was constantly feeling unmet in regards to various aspects of love and every time I brought it up the convo went to my partner's depression or dysphoria and bc I understood that, and knew they couldn't just up and change that, I kept putting aside my feelings bc I needed something they couldn't provide and that wasn't their fault

but that's the thing: needs are needs it's not about someone else, it's about YOU.

They can be depressed or ill or whatever all fucking day and yourr heart doesn't understand that. Your brain doesn't go 'oh well they gave a good reason so I'll stop feeling lonely' it doesn't work like that.

And i know y'all may not want to accept this but it's true. So yeah people may choose to work it out, or find ways to resolve thei need other ways, but just bc they have libido and sex/connection drive doesn't mean they aren't also hurting. Just bc they seem to be operational while their partner is struggling w something or unable to meet a need doesn't mean they're just totally emotionally and psychologically unscathed.

Diseased Relicary

Weird autopsies

An mild ailment corroded the streets of Arca two decades ago. The fevers were believed to be contracted throught the ingestion of contaminated fish and water. The vercals, renown healers, rose to power to ensure it wouldnt erradicate the city, but it ended making it worse. Health potions administered by Saint Trina's order were only capable of stopping the synthoms for a few days, and then they returned and so on. Anger festered in the streets, as only a few were able to afford such care and any attempts to replicate or look for a cure outside the order were crushed just as the poison filled vials between the teeths of their perpretators.

Queen Consuelo Vercal herself got the infection, but she endured years, for the monarch had the saints beside her. As the queen stood proudly on Arca Altus tall towers, the city withered at her feet. And another disease took the city: rebellion.

Only when the queen stepped down and took off the crown, as a final act of martydom, the plague was expelled from the city's lungs. The Nerón family then swore to legislate towards peace so the city could recover, not just from the epidemy, but also from the deep wounds that divided it.

The disease is now known as the Saltpeter fevers, due to its origin in the salty waters of the estuary, and the white residue pilling around the mouths of the ill. Just a few medics and forensic were able to see where it came from.

ok besties, i'm planning to make a major arcana tarot card collection for the THG, but I need some help because 1. i'm kinda stumped and 2. I havent finished TBOSAS so maybe area i'm missing have characters that suit them well. Anyway I'd love some feed back to bounce some ideas around. I don't mind if some characters are used more than once, but Im trying to limit to 2 cards per character.

The Fool (Beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, a free spirit); Effie Trinket. The unaware, optimistic character of the fool, feels fitting for Effie. As for most of the series, she goes around somewhat unaware of the hurdles and dangers that lie before her towards the end of the trilogy.

The Magician (Manifestation, resourcefulness, power, inspired action): Cinna (and Portia??). The magician manifests his goals into the real world. This feels self explanitory.

High Priestess: (Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminine, the subconscious mind) UNDECIDED. But I am leaning towards either Mrs. Everdeen or Finnick Odair. The High Priestess provides deep intuitive understanding  and awareness via hidden/secret information. These are the two characters that a lowkey guide us throught Katniss' inner state. Finnick does it more openingly in the story, but its through her mother and her failings that we true see and understand Katniss' character.

The Hierophant: (Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition,institutions) UNDECIDED. But maybe Plutarch or Caeser Flickerman? As they both have a hand in imparting knowledge (from a higher authority) to the people via their platform. Oh maybe I can use them post. One to represent the Heirophant upright, and the other to represent it do downright. Reversed, it represents Personal beliefs, freedom, challenging the status quo, which I think aligns more with Plutarch.

The Empress: (Femininity, beauty, nature, nurturing, abundance) UNDECIDED. I'm so torn. This feels like a good fit for Katniss, BUT I already have plans for her in the other cards and I want other characters to have representation. My other picks are Lucy Gray and Prim/Rue, but like I said I haven't finished TBOSAS yet. lol

The Emperor: (Authority, establishment, structure, a father figure) It's Snow. lmao

Lovers: (Love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices) Of course. It's Everlark

The Chariot: ( Control, willpower, success, action, determination) Alma Coin. Feels very fitting considers that the rebels one and she tried to take full control afterwards.

Strength: (Strength, courage, persuasion, influence, compassion) Prim and Rue? But Johanna feels like a good fit too.

Hermit: (Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance) Haymitch Abernathy ))))):

Wheel of Fortune: The reaping bowl.

Justice: Gale Hawthorne

The Hanged Man: (Pause, surrender, letting go, new perspectives) UNDECIDED. I'm kinda torn between Peeta, Prim, Johanna and Cinna for this. The Hanged Man is the card of ultimate surrender, martydom and sacrifice for the greater good. Katniss would also be a good pick too.

Death: (Endings, change, transformation, transition) 74th Games bloodbath?

Temperance: (Balance, moderation, patience, purpose) Finnick Odair. The Temperance card is stabilize you with patience and moderation, not force or resistance. It's fitting for a character who was helping Katniss ground herself during Mockingjay.

The Devil: (Shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction, sexuality) MJ Johanna feels fitting for this. Not because she's the evil, but because she's kind of represents the dark and more negative side of Katniss. As she engages in Katniss' worst habits, such as anger and isolation. And would choose short term gratification and the expense of long term prosperity. But Snow (as the symbol of the capitol) would fit as well. Which is like duuuuh

The Tower: (Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening) Blowing up the 75th Arena or maybe the Capitol bombs??

Star: (Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality) It's the boy with the bread! Peeta. Originally I was going to give him the Sun, but I felt like Primrose fit better over there. The star brings hope, love and purpose after great turmoil and challenges. And its fitting that Katniss' lover is the star in the sky that guides her.

The Moon: (Illusion, fear, anxiety, subconscious, intuition) Katniss! This is Katniss. All her main motivations in the story are fueled by these factors.

The Sun: (Positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality) Primrose. The sun card radiates optimism and positivity. Which is fitting for someone who brings so much warmth into Katniss' life.

Judgement: The Mockingjay

The World: (Completion, integration, accomplishment, travel) Toast Babies. Children and children death and suffering. Are the core subjects of the book. The toast babies exists represent the wholeness and achieve of everyone Katniss and the rest of Panem has to suffer to end the games.

How did Richie do the math?

You don't think I can do it made a 💡 in Richie's head.

He already spent the morning psychoanalyzing Carmy. Now, he has another clue about why Carmy is acting the way he is.

When Carmy asks, "You dont think i can do it?" did Richie remember the conversation Carmy had with Sydney in 2x01?

Richie is thinking- all this because Sydney wants a star?

Who gives a fuck about stars...

Sydney does and Carmy wants to get one.

Interesting

Then richie remembers Carmy is like Donna.

Like Donna, Carmy doesn't know how to show and be loved in a healthy way. Like Donna Carmy will martydom-build resentment - have inappropriate outbursts- make sure they don't enjoy things or people they love.

And Carmy loving someone has him acting out in the only loving way he knows. It's not the way he was acting with Claire - I think Richie realized this. It's how he's acting with Sydney that Richie observes throughout season 3, which makes him see more of Donna in Carmy and what's holding him back.

I'm sure he also remembered that Carmy knows he loves someone and something, but he doesn't know how to have fun with what he loves because of Donna. So, Richie sees the person he loves (Sydney) and Carmy sucking the joy out of The Bear and he wants to help Carmy but knows he has to do the self discovery himself.

This is why Richie, although he is against the star system, is still letting Carmy do what he needs to do. But he's also trying to show him you love her and it doesn't mean you can't have fun doing this with Sydney. It's why he makes suggestions of the razzle dazzle, Open hearts, and the dream weave.

If I'm betting on anything, I hope Richie is the one Carmy talks to once he sorts out his feelings.

Day 20 || “I did good, right?”

TW: Death

✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩

Ophelia was not a stranger to death. 

Being in this profession for so long, it was only expected. She’d been at this for longer than she had not, the seeping stains of freshly-spilled blood and scattered disarray of medical equipment more familiar than her own mother’s face. It was anticipated, in a place like this. For every child she allowed off the perimeter of the headquarters, every baby-faced soldier that was whisked off to battle, she understood. The possibility of all of them returning under her protection, the possibility of the lot of them surviving out in a vast, unkind world such as theirs… 

Ophelia knew those thoughts were just false hopes. Lies, soaked in sugar and sweetness, to comfort her weary heart. For there was no such greater drug than the promise of a warrior’s death, the prophecy of glory and martydom all too enticing to a child so hopelessly abandoned. 

And so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise when the children returned, every time, like clockwork, inside a body bag. Yet, with each dead child that joined the ever-growing list, Ophelia was gutted all the same. 

Anastasia Clair was no different. 

The girl was small, frail. Only fifteen, much too young to be out in the field. The softness of youth was still present in her features, her chubby cheeks and gangly limbs evident of that. She was no more than a child, with chipped fingernails bitten down to nearly the very base, and a flame of choppy, uneven hair that she had proudly cut herself.

She was not meant for the life of war and strife, no more than a little starry-eyed girl with grandiose thoughts of fame and recognition. A girl led astray, the days of playing out in the fields, young and carefree, replaced by the harsh training of a soldier, bruises blooming along her stringy limbs. 

And now, she was fifteen. Young, broken. Dying. 

Ophelia watched the girl with a certain helplessness she knew all too well, no amount of herbs and medicines enough to bring the girl back from the fate that had been bestowed upon her.

How cruel a joke, a medic cursed with the ability to cause pain, to infect and poison. And a dying little girl, cursed to heal everyone but herself. 

Anya let out another shuddering breath, the air rattling from her weakened lungs. Blood coated her lips, sticky and bright, a contrast against her pale skin, drained of all previous colour. 

“I…” she choked, eyes fluttering, the very words taking up all the energy left inside her hollowed-out body. “I did good, right?”

And it was at those words that something already broken inside of Ophelia shattered for the final time. 

She took the girl’s trembling hand in her own, squeezing it tightly. “Yes, my dear,” she reassured, voice no more than a hushed whisper, yet more powerful than it had been in decades. “You did wonderful. I’m so proud.” 

Anya cracked a small smile, the very thing no more than a ghost of the vibrant light that had once been present upon her face. Stolen, just like the rest, by the harsh realities of the world she had been forced into. 

“You rest now,” Ophelia murmured, brushing the bangs from her face. “The battle is over.” 

It was at that final reassurance that Anya at last allowed her eyes to fall shut. A decade of fighting, of wishing and hoping for a bigger life, a better life, and in the peace finally washing across her face, it was at that moment that her wishes were granted. 

She was a hero. 

Ophelia did not take her eyes off the girl as she took her final wheezing breaths, body giving up on itself. She sat, enraptured, at the sight of the bloody child before her, thumb caressing atop her head, the other tightly squeezing her hand. A last ditch attempt to provide some comfort for all the other ways that the mentor had failed her protege. 

And it was as Ophelia laid the thin, pale blanket over the child’s head that she was hit with the realization that maybe, just maybe—

Loretta had been right after all.

For my dear friend Tam @officiallanxichen. Wow I had so many BoremotionsTM whilst drawing this.

This is the idea I had in my head as soon as I read your gift request, but that I was convinced was too difficult and that I would never be able to pull off, so obviously I put it off by doing other things instead and then doing it anyway. and it looks SO COOL SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EVER IMAGINED!!

It came to me in a dream

[pynkhues]

I think you explained something I've been pondering over for a while, namely why so many loustat fic writers hates lestat lol. Like I'm always taken aback by how often lestat is written as louis' sex toy who only exist to serve him and fulfill his (self-insert) fantasies or an evil patriarchal abuser who needs to be punished (or both). There's so many other ships they could pour ttheir energy into, if they truly see him as an evil racist abuser and louis as his helpess victim why even ship them. I'm actually fascinated by this fandom Christian-like obsession with punishment, paying for your sins, martydom and having an redemption arc. I find it interesting that people who consider themselves to be atheists and are anti-religion still succumb to this mentality. The prevalence of fics when louis needs to punish lestat (apparently killing him wasn't enough), make him suffer, lestat has to grovel at his feet, stop killing humans and only then he will deserve pure moral louis and then they will be "even". I find this attitude to be so immature, like this is not how relationships work irl, and yes it's a show about toxic vampires but, in my understanding it was never loustat dynamic to begin with. Something about moral purity in a show about vampires is just so funny to me.

Y'know, I actually think the main reason I've taken a big step back from reading fic and checking ao3 is because a few months ago, I opened two or three Lestat x Louis fics in a row that all had an author's note where the writer said that they hated Lestat. The concept of that alone honestly baffles me - not the hating Lestat part, I don't care what characters people do and don't engage with on the show - but the idea that you could write fic - and fic where Lestat is one half of a relationship - while hating the character is just wild to me. Why are you writing characters you don't like? Why are you shipping characters when you don't like one of them?

I just - - it really shocks me. As someone who's been writing fic for literally 20 years at this point, I can honestly say I've never written for a pairing where I haven't liked one of the characters, and it generates a lot of questions in me about the current state of fandom, the projection, the virtue signalling, the purity culture, and what that dictates about how people are willing to engage with stories.

But yeah, I guess more to your point, I don't disagree. I actually don't necessarily think it's unique to this fandom though? In the last fandom I was super active in - Good Girls - the main ship was a straight one between a gang leader (Rio) and a 'housewife' / mother of four (Beth) who'd resorted to a life of crime and found she had an aptitude for it after her husband lost their house, and there was an enormous sense of Beth needing to be punished sexually and otherwise in fic, especially after she shot Rio in the (admittedly underwritten) s2 finale.

It's kind of funny in that sense, because I have largely put the GG scenario down to internalised misogyny, especially given the volume of fans who watched the show exclusively for Rio, and who ended up feeling like Beth didn't 'deserve him', but it does feel different with IWTV. Not entirely maybe - I do think there's a sense of Lestat needing to 'earn' Louis back for instance which isn't necessarily tied to gender, but tied to a very shallow view of what relationships are, just as I think there is a cultural load and systemic connotations brought to scenes of violence, particularly intimate partner violence, when the person perpetrating is white (i.e. Beth shooting Rio, who is Latino, carries different weight than Rio shooting her white husband, and kidnapping her white sister, same with Lestat dropping Louis vs Louis slitting Lestat's throat + bashing a white man's head in after projecting Lestat's face onto him).

I think that's all important to talk about and to consider and reflect on, just as I think the insane amount of gender essentialism, TERF rhetoric, and feminisation in a gay ship is, but I agree that it feels married to a degree of moral purity and - I'd argue - it gets twisted up simultaneously with fetish, kink and fanon to make a bit of a melting pot of Stuff that feels difficult to reduce to any one thing.

I don't know if I think it's steeped in immaturity exactly - the people I know of writing some of the things that perpetuate a lot of these tropes and who have harrassed me and others I know are mostly in their late 20s and 30s - but I do wonder how much of it is tied to an isolated perspective of relationships and the world? I really do think you can tell when people don't often hear perspectives outside of their own in their day-to-day life, or, hell, I think people tell on themselves more than they realise in how they might phrase things, even on anon. I still joke with my sister about the doxxing attempt I got where one anon asked me if [my sister's first name] knew I wrote BDSM, which was meant as a clear threat, when my sister had literally sent me excerpts of the werewolf porn she was reading that day, lol. We also both talk about sex a lot, so like.

It wasn't an issue for me, but y'know, the sense I got was that the anon obviously thought I should be ashamed and my sister would be disgusted, and like - - I don't know. Most of my friends have read the smut I've written, man, and my sister doesn't care (my brother either now - given I told him what I wrote in the process of all of that, and he now finds it very funny to ask me loudly about my erotic fanfiction when we're on the train, so y'know, haha). It just felt very telling to me about how people like this think, how they feel about sex and smut, and also the relationships they have in their personal lives because, well, I guess from how they act, they wouldn't be talking to people in their real lives about any of this.

Is that Christian puritanicalism, is that immaturity, is that isolation, is that inexperience, is that something else, I don't know! It does feel wide spread in this fandom in particular right now, but I do think it's kind of everywhere, and I think the nature of this show having adapted this story as something both outright queer and diverse is pulling a lot of people towards it who might actually be more interested in the optics than the content.

Schwarzette: The Goat in The Room

With the mystery of Aerial solved and Pharact sidelined by the plot, we can't help but wonder about the remaining and newest gundam. Who will pilot, and why does it look like a weird goat person with horns and hooves?

The first thing that comes to mind is the tales of witches and ritualistic goat sacrifice. Ominous but I don't quiite think that's the intended message. If we peer deeper into witchcraft, mysticism, and the animal itself, a diffent pattern is revealed.

The goat was one of man's first domesticated creatures and is oft associated with mysticism, nature, and myth. But it's also a deeply motherly animal, hyper vigilant and caring to their young. Studies have shown, goat mother's do not forget their children. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2012.0986

Goat milk itself is easier to digest than cow milk for children. It's common to find stories of adopted children nursed by goats. Like the story of Amalthea and Zeus--

The goat is a wild and motherly creature, and was only demonized later as servants of devils/demons for their cloven hooves/horns. Naturally, the animal was linked to witches because of this. Yet witches are wild and inherently symbols of feminine power themselves.

Now why do I think this is significant?

Because GWitch is deliberately associating goats and motherhood. Ep19 sees Suletta, following the rebirth imagery in 18 and her mother's abandonment, regain strength from Tycho's milk. Tycho the goat is her Amalthea. Since it's doubtful Prospera weaned her as a baby, this might be the first time she's drank from a living creature's teat.

Let's return to Schwarzette, a powerful name and stature but one that sounds unmistakably feminine. Then link its goat coloring and design, this is blatantly a witch's mobile suit but also a motherly one. When we remember Notrette, a mother with a similar sounding name and a direct call to the Giantess Nott from norse myth (yet another mother personifying night) the tie is strengthened. The halo surrounding its head is another interesting visual cue, bringing to mind martydom/angelic protection.

*Another point, the Schwarzette horns are explicitly that of a female. The steep incline, lack of curve, and wide gap indicate this.

I can't help but think this read is intended considering we might see Suletta pilot Schwarzette to reach Miorine.

After all, goat mothers do not forget their children.
