I came here for the silly haha doodles, but I've stayed for the absolutely blazing commentary in the tags. Your analysis of this story is so so so good! Thanks for all the work and thought you put into this!

I am just a silly little comics blog. I am not hiding anything in the tags, no way. Never.

A few doodles of these two!!

Shilk and Vanilla's relationship in Tapestry's wispers is messy, as usual with beasts of deciet and wielders of truth alike. They don't get along very well

Shadow Milk does still play an important role despite the short notice though. Mainly with the way he handles his "Grand entrance" in the faerie kingdom, and how he decides to work with Vanilla

Don't wanna spoil much, so for now I'll just say he prefers actors instead of little hand made puppets. Why miss out the opportunity of starting the show with a bang after all? Plus, candidates are always welcome!

Also here's the same Vanilla guy with a cup of cocoa, as a treat./silly

me: "Wow, The Green Knight (2021) dir. David Lowery, starring Dev Patel is such a breathtaking classical epic. It's so richly portrayed in its fantastical and character study elements. The dynamic between Gawain and the Knight, plus the pseudo-throuple chemistry of him and the 'Lord and Lady' is so well done. Gawain seeing the ruinous vision of where cowardice and pure self-preservation would lead him as opposed to a dignified ending (so he thinks it will be) and being a fellow of honor and a kept word was incredibly powerful. What a marvel of storytelling. If the movie is this good, I can only imagine how great the original poem must be!"

The original Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: This poem is 99.99% descriptions of feasting, pretty armor, and how great wonderful hot awesome virtuous beloved Gawain is. Also how utterly jacked and virile and sexy and green the Green Knight is. No it will not explain how or why an explicitly pagan Fae-coded forest entity is a devout Christian, ditto his wife and castle staff. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, enjoy this spontaneous rant at the end where Gawain blames his and all other great men's ills on falling for evil icky women wiles--directly after being told by the Green Knight that his wife was working under the Knight's orders to tempt and test Gawain in the first place. Green Knight and his lady are still DTF and let Gawain crash with them though, xoxo

Just saw Furiosa in theaters again because I wanted to check out the Mr. Harley subplot/fan theory (here’s a rundown with spoilers https://www.reddit.com/r/MadMax/comments/1dg5ou3/made_a_point_to_keep_a_close_eye_on_mr_harley/) and it’s wild how obvious it is if you’re looking, while at the same time being totally not obvious if you aren’t paying attention to it. This was my 6th time watching and my first time catching any of it!!

The flip side of "Bill shows people he cares about them (or tricks them into thinking he cares about them) by flattering them and giving them gifts, and ONLY flattering them and giving them gifts, NO EMOTIONAL LABOR ALLOWED" is that Bill also accepts caring in the form of gifts and flattery.

If somebody goes "Hey Bill I found a cool rock and I painted your face on it, do you want it," he'll go "you're the only creature in this godforsaken multiverse who gives a shit about me. I would and will murder for you."

This makes how he interacts with his human worshipers very funny.

"Hello! I'm going to shower you in compliments and otherworldly knowledge! I'm a divine muse! If you want to strengthen your connection to me, you should plaster my face all over everything."

"Okay!" *makes tapestries and statues and paintings depicting Bill* "This is my divine muse, he blesses me with knowledge! He's so amazing!"

"... so like... I know I'm your god and you're my puny worshipper but, like, we're also besties, right? you're telling me we're BFFs—?"

I've been reading Exodus lately and I've just gotten to the portions where God gives the first commands to the people via Moses (twice), and then goes on to give detailed instructions about the tabernacle and how it should be built, and I'm just... we think art is unimportant?? we think things only mean as much as their functionality?? we so easily fall into the trap of believing that beauty means nothing, that it's cheap and only worth whatever mindless distraction it brings, that it's barely more than a cheap sensual thrill, that buildings should just be practical and plain and cheap, that everything should be functional but ultimately disposable, that paintings and dresses and mugs and curtains and carpets are just pretty but have no real value, that beauty is fleeting and vain and therefore shouldn't be thought about too much, if even looked for at all... we fall into these traps so easily, and we forget that there are chapters upon chapters of painstakingly detailed plans to build one portable worship tent, and those plans have been handed down through thousands of years of human history, because beauty and art and skill in craft is important

Honestly. I don't know what kind of crack gets poured in my drink or food while I am not looking on the nights I do these "fast pieces". I did this last night and another piece of Legolas and Jien with a really cool background, and both of these took around 2 hours, maybe even less. Now I get why y'all seemed a bit surprised with my last "quick piece". I am now shocked too. And this turned out so good? I am so proud of myself, may this skill never leave me or I'll sob and crash.

Anyhow, I am really into the LOTR mood lately, so expect more LOTR stuff along with Jien LOTR AU stuff. (take a shot every time I say LOTR).

With eyes like fire, his body now skin and bones, charging like an insane creature. Chirin was as fearsome as a demon.
