The God AU that took me more time to draw than I anticipated.

The size of the Gods isn't exact like in the third image. Gods can be whatever size and shape they want.

I decided to make y/n's runes show a bit under their clothes. I would have liked to make a reference of all the runes and how they cover the body but I got tired, I wanted to finish this and I didn't come up with an alphabet yet.

Some info I brainstormed back in July <- especially about the Dissident.

As always with these type of AUs I come up with, I have the concept of a story but I don't really know where to begin talking about it.

I really like how the lineart looks without color :]

why do people keep acting like "we need to RETVRN to traditional values" stops being the biggest dog whistle ever when it's coming from someone who isn't white?

"traditional [culture] masculinity" patriarchy and the repression of women is not a western fucking invention you are completely fucking deflecting here

I've seen a lot of takes on sag joining the strike go by. Some focus on the fact that most actors are in fact not big names being paid big bucks so don't let the studios fool you. And yes very good, don't trust company propaganda.

Others talk about the less frequently mentioned (and more challenging) take that every actor, and writer too, deserves to be paid fairly for their work. Yes even if they are the big names who have already been paid bigger bucks. Excellent, love to see workers' solidarity and people learning the difference between well paid and hoarding money indiscriminately.

But the one I so far haven't seen mentioned, is the fact that you in fact want the big names with the big bucks there. You need them to join in. They add the weight, the leverage and are harder obstacles to ignore.

Let me put it this way.

Sag and wga members are the army besieging the castle and the big names are the trebuchets ready to fuck shit up.

Russia just freed SIXTEEN political prisoners in a prisoner swap with the West!

Among the released political prisoners are:

Oleg Orlov, a longtime dissident and the co-chair of Memorial, an organization created in 1989 to chronicle the USSR's human rights abuses and educate Russians about the history of political repression;

Sasha Skochilenko, an LGBTQ artist who was imprisoned in April 2022 for replacing price tags at grocery stores with data about Russian destruction in Ukraine, deemed treasonous under Russia's "fake news" law;

Vladimir Kara-Murza, a political dissident who was fundamental in bringing about the Magnitsky Act to sanction Russian human rights abusers, and who was poisoned twice by the KGB in attempted assassinations before being sentenced to 25 years in prison for "treason";

Evan Gershkovich, a young American journalist who was arrested in Russia while reporting for the Wall Streeet Journal in March 2023 and sentenced to 16 years in prison for "espionage";

Paul Whelan, American former Marine who was arrested in 2018 and sentenced to 16 years of hard labor for "espionage";

Alsu Kurmasheva, a Russian-American journalist with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty who was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for spreading "fake news" about the war in Ukraine;

Andrei Pivovarov, an opposition activist who headed the pro-democracy organization Open Russia before being imprisoned in a Siberian penal colony infamous for its torture of prisoners;

Ilya Yashin, a young opposition politician who was sentenced to 8.5 years in prison for publishing YouTube videos about the war in Ukraine; when Russian authorities "encouraged" him to leave the country, he chose instead to stay;

Lilia Chanysheva, opposition activist and regional coordinator of Navalny HQ; in her final speech before the Russian court, she tried in vain to appeal to the judge's sense of empathy: "If you put me in jail for 12 years, I will be too old to bear a child. Give me a chance to be a mother!";

Kevin Lik, a dual German-Russian citizen who was arrested as a minor for "photographing military sites" shortly before the 2022 invasion of Ukraine; he was the youngest person ever to be convicted of treason in Russia;

Rico Krieger, a German man sentenced to death in Belarus for supposedly planting explosives on a railroad track to help the Ukrainian army;

Dieter Voronin, a dual German-Russian citizen and political scientist who was arrested in 2021 in connection to a treason case involving Russian journalist Ivan Safronov;

Patrick Schobel, a German man arrested in February 2024 at the Pulkovo International Airport in St Petersburg when customs officers found cannabis gummies in his luggage, in a scenario very similar to that of Brittney Griner;

German Moyzhes, a dual German-Russian citizen and lawyer who was charged with treason for helping Russians obtain European residency permits;

Vadim Ostanin, opposition activist and Navalny associate arrested in 2021 for his work with Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation;

Ksenia Fadeyeva, dissident and Navalny associate sentenced to 9 years in prison.
