Never even in death will you lose your fame, but you will be in men’s thoughts, your name ever immortal... (Theognis 245-246, trans. Gerber 1999).

Sometimes, the niche crossover urge takes over. This is based on Greek red-figure vase paintings of kithara players (specifically the ones here and here). If you want to hear a little about how the kithara is played and a little sample of improvisation on the instrument, check out the video here!

#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 art #bg3 #minthara baenre #minthara bg3 #minthara #posting to celebrate my last (!!) week of summer assignment #y'all the number of zero-audience niche crossover takes i have.#minthara is an alcmaeonidae. menzoberranzan would love attic tragedy. zero audience takes.#the githyanki would love pindar. negative audience take.#but they would is the thing. epinician culture would be huge.#anyways playing with metal gauntlets would be terrible practice but this is my fantasy #and i will be in the ground before i show her without her armor.

everybody go home. this is my magnum opus

#HELP THIS IS KILLING ME #the original version of this had hua cheng in a ‘i have a CRAZY wife she hates STUPID PEOPLE and LOVES DOGS and im NOT AFRAID TO USE HER’#but if hua cheng was at midwestern gas station number 472 in the novelty slogan tshirt aisle #she for sure would get some sort of ‘your wife (woman symbol) vs MY WIFE (wonder woman silhouette)’#or ‘trophy 🏆🏆 WIFE’#or possibly a ‘return to wife if lost’#or ‘i have a SMOKIN HOT wife’#or ‘im the BOSS til my WIFE gets home’#or ‘5 things you should know about my WIFE: 1. she is my queen 2. she is a bit crazy 3. she can whoop your ass #4. she says whatever she is thinking 5. mess with her and theyll never find your body’#or ‘i go to work so my wife can COLLECT SCRAPS’#or even at worst. ‘ my wife is the PRINCESS the mouse LOST’#xie lian would be initially embarassed. but you know her ass would be wearing a ‘proud PROPERTY of an AWESOME WIFE’ shirts @ heaven meetings #or ‘i’m not scared of ANYTHING - my WIFE is a CALAMITY’#which was sold as a metaphor for your wife being mean and powerful. but she wears it straight.#or even ‘im not GAY but my WIFE is’ lmfao #anyway.#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #hualesbians #modern au #tgcf meme #my art #art #tgcf shitpost #lmao #mxtx

Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art.#It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off.#Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways!#There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough'#only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize -#-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*)#And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans.#The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement.#I really can't describe how grateful I am.#Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out.#Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house.#But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants.#I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry.#Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

Julie and the Phantoms being one of the most heartwarming and feel good shows I've ever watched, while simultaneously having the most absurdly tragic premise will never not to be funny to me.

#jatp #julie and the phantoms #i'm sorry maybe it's just me and my dark sense of humor #but the contrast of these two things gets me #yeah let's start the show with the death of 3 main characters then jump forward in time where the other main character #is struggling with depression from the loss of her mother #and then let's have her form an inevitably tragic bond with the ghosts of the 3 dead characters from earlier #but there's musical numbers!!#excuse me sir this is a kid's show #(yes i know that it would have had a happy ending if they'd gotten to really end it but still)#personal #td #mine

Sorry for the lack of posts, have some more headcanons!!

#MYYY self indulgent V headcanon number 234 is that shes a huge fucking dork #i.e she was a huge bookworm as a worker #well she was a dork in general #reading. painting. dancing. all of it #but alot of that. was kinda things she had to leave with the rest of her. when she became a Disassembly Drone.#And while alot of her died in the manor. she still kept some things close.#and one of those things is reading!!!#she cringes at like 90% of what she used to read but still goes out of her way to reread the copies she finds or is given #N usually gives her copies #She acts like she hates it but still reads them alone anyway #theres a reason she has bad eyesight and its because she reads with the book 3 inches from her face in the dark #also Uzi probably makes her read Twilight at some point and laughs the entire time (they both hate it. Uzi just likes messing w/ her)#anyway i just like the idea that in a world where V is finally allowed to start her life again #she looks for the things she loved that she had to leave behind #and finds new joy in them as who she is now #she might not be that little worker anymore #but shes still the girl who loved to curl up in the library when no one would notice. reading any book she could get her hands on.#idk i just like the idea that V deep down is still just a girl who wants to have fun.#i just want her to be HAPPY #anyway do you guys wanna hear why Chappell Roan's “Pink Pony Club” is so V code- (i fall down the stage stairs)#murder drones #serial designation v #serial designation n #uzi doorman #also for context ive never read Pride and Prejudice despite meaning to #its just one of the only actual romance books i know off the top of my head #imean no offense to it. I just like joking abt V reading romance sdkfjkldsjf

Question for those who wanna response: When's the last time you saw any media where any of the characters (major, minor, or extra) were known to be deaf?

(Bonus question: Who was the character and from what media did they originate from?)

#he talks #they talk #deaf #actually deaf #hoh #actually hoh #I've seen a various amount of random extras who would classify as deaf (3 from Pixar.. and a number of elderly characters from dramas #as well as two characters from Helluva Boss (yes.. this show)#As well as...2 characters? who would classify as major characters (one from The Dragon Prince and another from a book whose name escapes me #But I'll be honest.. I've not seen a single major character who speaks and is also deaf which bothers me immensely #(Honestly there's not enough deaf rep as it is.. but being someone who speaks and is deaf (and doesn't know sign) it hurts in that way too)#So honestly I'm curious if I've just not watched/read enough stuff and.. whether so or not.. what things I should look out for~

love like you / maternal pang

bonus under cut:

the first stephanie + the maternal pang tone destroyer i couldn't include bc it's a serious comic

#you might wanna zoom in for this one sorry #anyway i think putty likes orel. not enough to really get off his ass and help him but there's a fondness there #and i think his position of power relative to the rest of the town could be helpful in influencing things if he like. believed in them more #but he doesn't really expect any better from himself or the rest of moralton and i think it's because he doesn't really believe goodness is #attainable esp by christian/biblical standards. he thinks it's kind of a pretense for everyone. but then stephanie is good so what does tha #say about him? or moralton? i think he'd get a bit better with her around.#it'd make him insecure but she's an encouraging type so. maybe he'd get there eventually #we don't get to see much of that but eh. i think this show is hopeful at the end of the day. i don't think moralton WOULD change much but i #Could change a little. um. anyway that's what this comic is about lol #also im in love with stephanie. so.#moral orel #orel puppington #rod putty #reverend putty #stephanie putty #skrunkart #sorry if the models are kinda inconsistent i haven't drawn these fellers before #it's occurring to me that this is probably the longest comic i've posted on here? just by panel number anyway #which like. moral orel deserves it but that's kinda surprising because i've certainly made longer stuff before #but it's mostly oc stuff from like 3 years ago i never posted and don't really plan on posting #i guess i just tend to stick to gags or quick emotional punches and this is a more lengthy character exploration #which i tend to save for fics. but it's winter break so i've got the time. maybe that's it #this was supposed to be a quick thing where i got to draw stephanie what happened. anyway more moral orel stuff on the way but sheesh #this one kinda got away from me is all. but i like it :)#also full disclosure i forgot to go back and figure out stephanie's tattoos and i don't care enough to. sorry steph ily but im done #also btw i DO think most of moralton are true believers they're just like. assholes/hypocritical. they're godfearing but lazy when it comes #to ACTUALLY helping people (or otherwise let self interest get in the way leading to loopholes etc)#sorry i haven't written about the show before so the meta analysis/interpretation is leaking in #does moral orel have an abbreviation? it's a pretty short name so maybe not. i think moror would be cute :)#also i discovered i can do half-tones on firealpaca so i wanted to try it out :3

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

#its like youre unable to root for her in any form. which is annoying bc shes actually awesome actually #also having her say “actually im the good guy fuck you'' w/o any actual deep analysis of her psyche or whatever while doing these things #doesnt count as development or showing shes 3 dimensional. its just having 2 dimensional waller say shes right when everyone is obviously #supposed to believe shes wrong #anyways i want real waller back please i miss herrrrrrrr #anyways hope mr john ridley has read secret origins no 14. i know its from 1987 but please guys please. my only hope #also it was a few months ago but i think they tried to push certain elements of a diff backstory in dream team and sorry but fuck that. and #any mention of another waller background like my eyes are closed sry. im a preboot truther #actually im just ignorant of most squad comics outside the original series. im gonna do a readthrough and become knowledgeable on other #stuff i just need to find time. so if im wrong then sorry if its smth factual and if you disagree with my opinion then uh sorry for ur loss #anyways shoutout to the time i had a nerd night w my one friend and she was asking me abt dc and said my favorite villains and i said waller #and silver swan. and she had a “yuck WHY” to waller and a ???? to silver swan. love shouting out my faves and explaining them to the less #informed. didnt say a number 3 but would probably be parallax ig. idk hes kind of slay. or maybe someone else honestly i like hal but waller #and nessie are blorbo level for me i could think abt them for hours #or maybe it wouldnt be parallax actually idk who my 3 would be. hes definitely up there but way below the other 2. maybe the cheetah #interpretation that i personally have. v different from the popular cheetah interpretation esp rucka vers actually. much closer to the pérez #and esp develops some subtext there surrounding barbara and the exploitation and theft of sacred cultural artifacts and pieces but also #like british colonization a lil bit #but i actually despise the cheetah that lives in my head but think shed be interesting to use narratively and see diana fight #vs the other guys who i find interesting and sympathetic and like for themselves #whereas my fave interpretation of cheetah can rot in hell #i got off topic here #blah #swishy rant #also disclaimer that w the main character ik dreamer is the main character of dream team. im talking more in general and that amanda should #always have a huge role as shes the main character of the squad and yet is treated like its villain and not its protag #sui sq

You know how some kids say stuff that freak out their parents like “the man in the corner doesn’t like that” and there’s no one there

or how most kids just stand in the doorway of a room at night for no reason besides waiting for their parents to wake up so they can ask a question but it can be really creepy and freak the parents out

That kind of thing but mostly the second one because I think that’s more common in kids

(previous ask for context)

Alright i totally understand now. That'd be Moja, no doubt!

#the thing moja is saying is referencing the reddit of kids saying scary af stuff lmao #also shes around 3 years old because by checking that reddit thread you can actually read a very #prominent number of 2 and 3 year olds in specific that are the ones saying the most scary shit out of nowhere lol #moja would def be one of those kids that used to say the most concerning and scary stuff ever #she does grow out of it though (mikey is very thankful about this but he will never say it out loud)#also if anyone is wondering on how moja ended up with mikeys snork mimimi hat it went like #moja still very sleepy: papa can i have your silly hat to sleep better?#mikey: yeah sure kid #my art #doodles #tmnt #tmnt the last ronin #tlr lost years #tmnt mikey #tmnt michelangelo #tmnt moja #peepaw and babies au #ask

ultrakill is the only fandom where i've actually enjoyed the fact that people will literally ship anyone with anyone

#it usually bothers me a bit like. c'mon there's more interesting things to focus on #but the dynamics people come up with over here. they catch my attention #yes i will read your essay on this important characters relationship with Random Enemy number 3. please tell me more <3 #also its funny sometimes #i just saw sisyphus/sisyphean insurrectionist. i never would have thought about that but i love it #ig when no character is even slightly normal every dynamic just has its own interesting thing idfk #and the fact that half the characters are just straight up blank slates #there's stuff that makes me roll my eyes a bit obv i dont like everything. but i've never enjoyed this many dynamics at once #ramblings #ultrakill

But her large eyes with furrowed brow followed him as she tried to get comfortable in her clean bed. He eyed her in turn as he covered her with two new blankets.

He wanted to give a sigh, because he knew what that frown meant. But he didn’t; he would have given her his answer before he even asked the question with that.

“Do you want me to stay with you?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright.”

Jon silently making contingencies about every doomsday he can imagine. Jon using all he knows about investigative journalism to make sure none of the evil universes he keeps encountering are permanent problems. Jon knowing every persons weakness because he’s paranoid making sure there’s not an injustice-like event in his world. Jon making friends but making sure he can take them down if the worst comes, too.

#jon kent #jonathan kent #LISTENNNN #jon having some trauma and finding this as a way to feel safe>>>>#Damian and Lois would get along like a house on fire they’re both passionate and stubborn but methodical and intelligent #but Bruce and Jon have a wavelength. they got trauma that would manifest the same #imagine Jon introducing the legion to help with a crisis and he knows that Batman isn’t gonna just let them help without prior knowledge #he’s heard every story from Damian dick and his parents about Batman’s trust issues and as a kid thought nothing of it #but now that he’s been exposed to so many universes and how things can go awry from a single thing #all this to say Damian would swoon when Jon brings out a huge file of his teammates weaknesses and Jon refuses to talk about it #unless they’re in private cause he wants his teams trust #but he knows now that Bruce has a point and they should have contingencies #so he makes a file for Batman to read about how to take them down.#he forwards shit to oracle too after dick gives her number to him after patrol #jondami #damijon #dc #:3 #angst #super sons #supersons

UPDATE: NEW MESSAGE (?) WHEN YOU CALL SURFER BOY #

This is now the third message that has been found at the end of this number since fans started calling it after the Cali teaser released back in late 2022.

Back then it was a Happy Birthday jingle, and after that it was Argyle listing off the ingredients to pineapple pizza, and now we have this.

It’s barely more than three seconds and honestly doesn’t ring any bells to me?

Could it mean something? Could it mean nothing?

Remains to be seen…

#byler #stranger things #st theory #st5 promo #surfer boy van #surfer boy van number #I’ve got nothing…#like what can you get out of a mere 3 seconds???#if it was just a regular unaccounted for number now #it wouldn’t end with a unique jingle like that?#it would just end the call instantly or beep like it normally does #so this is sort of unique #but what does it mean 😅#they’re making the hints impossible to decipher atp #and i don’t blame them honestly #also there’s a good chance it could be a placeholder for a future message?#like a limbo message of sorts?#bc the pineapple one is old and they do plan to change it presumable for st5 focused Easter eggs?

Her lance burns bright, crackling with magic, and she plummets from the sky. Estinien and Aymeric were the first to notice her movements in combat, noting a physicality not often attributed to black mages. The years she spent in Coerthas were spent honing new techniques, following new pursuits, transforming into someone else. Though she will not admit it, the weapon is intrinsically caught up in her relationship with the Lord Commander, forever connected to her time in Ishgard. She came to the city an exiled mage and left a dragoon. —level 90 compendium
