Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life"

Since Avatar The Last Airbender got remade in live action so it could be more like Game of Thrones, they should remake Game of Thrones in animation so it can be more like Avatar The Last Airbender.
#avatar the last airbender#atla#game of thrones#a song of ice and fire#asoiaf#avatar#the last airbender#netflix avatar#do thrones as an anime with nothing but filler until grrm finish the books#so about forever

ok so this is Extremely specific but it's the middle of the night and i can't stop thinking about it: anyone who was/is involved in the les mis fandom, did i hallucinate the enjolras cosplayer who made a fan novel and also a fan film and then later was exposed for cheating on his partner, divorcing them and abandoning his child with cancer to go and become a jewish lawyer or was that something that actually happened
#ramble#pLEASE this is bugging me so much i remember him from my theatre kid teen years and i cannot for the life of me remember his name#i've been on some cold medicine that's basically a horse tranquiliser for the past couple of days and it turns my brain to soup#i'm on a 'can't remember the name of the song' type google trip rn except nothing is working bc this is something like 5 people know about#is this COMMON KNOWLEDGE pls help#i think it was a short film i know for a fact he wrote a book bc i remember wanting to get it at the time#he was blonde that's all i remember#edIT I CAN'T REMEMBER IT BUT HE HAD A SUPER FANCYPANTS SURNAME AND I'M P SURE HIS MUM WAS QUITE FAMOUS???#that's not a dig btw my surname is pendragon i can't say anything

this is how that scene went right
#tsoa patrochilles#tsoa achilles#tsoa patroclus#tsoa#patrochilles#briseis#tsoa briseis#the song of achilles#all of achilles’s stats are cracked except for self perception#accidentally drew a really twinky Patroclus#I can only post lighthearted things about this book#otherwise the angst will kill me

"Have you no more memories?"
I am made of memories.
"Speak, then."
#qsmp fanart#that quote is from The Song Of Achilles#beautiful book#HUGE spoiler warning#in the last scene of the book patroclus and thetis are sitting together at achilles' grave watching the sunset#patroclus has just finished recounting the entirety of his life with achilles to thetis#and despite how much the two hated each other; and despite how much disdain thetis had for patroclus for being a human#for the first time in her life thetis understands how much those two meant to each other and how much achilles loved patroclus#and so she lets patroclus travel to the next world to be with him; she sends him off so they can be together#“go” she says. “he waits for you.”#that's basically what I'm thinking of here#an AU wherein which Fit and Madagio find themselves in each others' paths again and Madagio sees that Fit's grief hasn't swallowed him whol#Madagio is curios because he has never understood how to deal with grief in a way that isn't revenge#and asks about it#he asks about the rosebushes and the goggles#and after the two sit for days in a far-out reach of the wasteland; fit talking and madagio listening#madagio decides maybe he can spare the time and effort. maybe he can find a way to reunite fit with pac and ramon;#even if it's just for a minute#qsmp#fitmc#fitpac#madagio#qsmp madagio#54625art#holy shit sorry for yappin so much#mcyt#mcytblr

My favorite scenes from The Odyssey (books 18 to 21)
Odysseus fighting a random beggar being its own book was not something I expected to enjoy this much when reading The Odyssey, but here we are.
#the odyssey#odysseus#penelope#odypen#telemachus#athena#eurymachus#antinous#irus#aka the beggar#eurycleia#anyway I've read the odyssey three times now (Emily Wilson's translation twice) it's become a hyperfixation#there are so many scenes I like that I'd probably have to draw the entire story#like I have several in book 1 alone#examples being the olympain gods waiting for poseidon to go to some party in ethiopia just so they can make a decision without him#telemachus telling his mom not to stop their bard (aka personal dj) from singing a song about his father's death#keep in mind he says that the bard is free to sing about whatever he wants while in a previously it was mentioned that the bard was forced#in book two (in think) Telemachus calls the nobles for a meeting and then throws the “speaking staff” to the floor#and proceeds to trauma dump#back to book one: Athena making some long excuse of how she is totally a human man and immediately transforms into a bird#in front of Telemachus' face#all of this and its not even halfway through the Telemachy

As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.
#imperial radch#also a great example of the 'you don't have to be Tolkien' phenomenon#if you want to think about linguistic differences by building all the languages in your setting#and being able to explain what those differences are through actual texts in the language in question#that's AWESOME#but it's not the only way to do it#it's also interesting because of course this style only works in book form#everyone's speaking different languages but in a written account they're all 'translated' for you#but of course if it was a TV series they would all have to be speaking a language the audience understands#(or you *would* have to go wild with conlangs)#and i think that's really cool as well--#how for a series where song is so central we don't actually hear any of the actual in-universe words or any of the music#it's all been filtered#and again you know this is happening but seeing the examples of how real songs--the shape hymns and 'L'homme Arme'--are presented#makes you a lot more viscerally aware of how limited your perspective is#it's good#ann leckie i love you

never say never I guess
had a sudden "I want to draw them"
Lyrics from "The Last Goodbye" by Billy Boyd
also a warm up that led to this, wanted to try drawing them again and somehow got inspired a bit
#fanart#my art#sketch#comic#isat siffrin#isat fanart#isat#in stars and time#act 6 spoilers#I just straight up took picture from Act 6 what did you expect#this was supposed to be just a silly-sad sketch#because I'm feeling silly-sad about isat#think whatever you want#did they just decide to go their own way? did they die or something?#who knows#I love this song so much so I cried a bit while drawing#idk makes me emotional#I HIGHLY recommend listening to it#also reading hobbit and lotr too because books are great (movies are great on a technical level)#anyway I guess I can't leave isat that easily#although I kind of not in anymore and all#too overwhelmed#artists on tumblr#siffrin#I just noticed that I drew Siffrin with same face expression as in “You love them” thing pff well they do love their friends after all!#so it fits

kill your darling, it's just that easy!
#tlt#my art#i reblogged these outfits the other day that were giving me big ianthe & naberius vibes so i wanted to draw something with them#got really funky w/ this one! i just wanted to play around i havent had the chance to draw in a while#so i just kinda let myself do whatever w/ the colors and art style and everything#idk how i feel about it but it was fun#anyway ive seen some posts suggesting that ianthe somehow cheated the system by sacrificing naberius and like...#no she absolutely did not? she paid that price exactly by the book (making her one of the few to actually do so)#and now she suffers forever for it :)#oh the line on top is a quote from the book and the caption is a lyric from 'kill your darling' by cloudy june#(which aside from that one line is not at all a ianthe&naberius song lmao)

it would have been very beautiful. camilla would have had to cook (horrible bone soup)
#HELLO back at it again#tug introduced groundbreaking new findings about soul permeability but my mind bypassed all that in favour of this au#the division of labour is as follows:#dulcie reads the instructions; snacks; and changes the radio station every time she doesn’t like a song#if you complain she will remind you she's literally dying. life is too short and mediocre songs are too long#pal gets stuff from high shelves and battles his constantly fogged up glasses#he tried to help with prep once and promptly got himself banned from using knives for the rest of his life#cam does 98% of the actual cooking#trivia section -#you can tell i am new to this because i arranged them in the wrong speaking order. let’s all practice our right to left reading#cam has a silly novelty apron because a) the idea was unbearably funny to me and b) i need to spread the gospel (aroace cam)#the cookbooks next to dulcie are ‘a few teaspoons of salt’ (by ianthe tridentarius)#and ‘saintly feasts: food for saints and scholars’ which is a real book! though not written by cassiopeia the first#*#dulcie septimus#dulcinea septimus#camilla hect#palamedes sextus#the locked tomb#field sketches#<< i get to have an art tag now!
