i would really love to see more pomme in your style!!! /nf ofc, you draw her so silly :-D AND YOUR ETOILES i love his design too

I tend to draw her as warmups for traditional art or when I’m in the mood for more action style poses ! Her design is the one I’m most proudest of (I say that as if I’m not always happy drawing my silly little favs) and it’s always a joy getting to draw her little braids and chunky armor. Tho metal is still something I’m improving on- I LOVEE DRAWING HER WITH IT !!

What other sports aus would you love to see our favorite Fence characters in?

well, as a former cheerleader that's the first thing to come to mind, and i love boy cheerleaders but i simply don't think these boys have the right flavor of toxicity and drama like the girlies do... there's really nothing like teen girl venom 📣 it could be fun to write (or read) something short tho. seiji is serious about his stunts and nicholas just wants to wave his pom poms

my favorite sports are the ones that are mainly excuses for minxy little outfits. I know there is an ice skating AU fic "cold as ice" that I'll have to check out one day. I'm also in love with starwritess' tripping over air, and the outfits therein. I also had fun writing about ballerina seiji in pas de deux. 🩰 ballet is a sport, right?

gymnastics... wrestling... oh, what about boxing? ufc? I have to admit the scene where nichoji beat each other's asses in the closet is one of my favs...

Nachdem es mich heute morgen schonmal den Hausflur runtergehauen hat, hab ich mir dein Video jetzt nochmal angeguckt ("es ist eine anständige Uhrzeit, jetzt verkrafte ich das besser"...well that didn't work out...).

Können wir bitte drüber reden, dass die erste Zeile einfach direkt "This night is cold in the kingdom" ist?? Und der Schürk-Clan mit seinen ganzen gottverdammten Königs-Metaphern???

Ja, vermutlich Captain Obvious, aber ist mir jetzt erst aufgefallen und wollte dich noch kurz dafür...entweder loben oder beschimpfen, bin jetzt nicht so sicher ehrlich gesagt.

Andere Sache: diese Betonung bei "Deiner Welt vielleicht". Wieso macht die einen so fertig?

Du bist in meiner Realität jetzt Experte für diese Szene, deswegen rante ich genau hier!

Sorry, feel free to ignore everything. 😅

🖤❤️🧡💚💙💜🤍🤎 (alle Herzen außer gelb wegen Hass auf den Gelbfilter!)

Es ist schön zu sehen, dass das Video die gleichen Emotionen hervorholt die ich letzte Nacht um 2 Uhr beim Zusammenschneiden hatte 🥲

Tatsächlich sind mir die Königs-Parallelen gar nicht wirklich aufgefallen, von daher darfst du dir deine eigenen Glückwünsche dafür ausschreiben... und ich werd da jetzt auch noch mal drüber nachdenken ..... ;_;

Mir geht's aber genauso, ich komme immer noch nicht auf "Deiner Welt vielleicht" und diese Szene allgemein klar. Und ich habe sie jetzt - wie oft? - geguckt? 😭💔

( Weils mir auch nicht aus dem Kopf ging sitze ich übrigens gerade an einem etwas aufwändigerem edit mit dem Song, also.......stay tuned 👀 für wann auch immer ich es fertig bekomme )

Vielen Dank für die Nachricht 🥰🤗 ich schick dir direkt alle Farben im Regenbogen zurück -> 🌈

(different anon here) I am also a fan of both and I kinda am worried about Matty’s reputation online on *that* side of the internet ie. John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhal etc. chronically online swifties just cannot let shit go. Idk it’s like the very loud minority

Okay so true!! And I think that's already happened I'm afraid, a good proportion of *that type* of swifties already see him as John Mayer or worse and I don't think minds can be changed :(

I will say though, 80% of Taylor Swift fans do not feel that way because they're not chronically online!! I made a swiftie friend recently over noticing each other's friendship bracelets and then noticed each other's box tattoos and fell about laughing, I tried to cover my box tattoo to go to a Taylor Swift club night and they literally played The 1975, hell I saw someone wearing a 1975 shirt to Swiftoggedon!! It's only this intense to the chronically online population (us) and real people don't generally care!!!

I just wanted to say I really admire how effortlessly masculine you are but how you also love so many traditionally "feminine" things. I am working on coming out as a trans man and dread people telling me I'm not allowed to knit and stuff anymore

One of the annoying aspects of transition is you become this walking litmus test for weird gender essentialism - even in progressive folks - and you're gonna learn just how much people deprive themselves of personal joy because of it.

I cannot tell you how many well-meaning people ended up shitting on my hobbies out of a desire to give me "man lessons" that I never asked for in the first place.

All I can say is, stick to your guns. Sure, knitting has also historically been a masculine activity, but to acknowledge such feels like giving credence to the argument that you have to drop "unmanly" interests. Knit because you like to knit, not because you are "allowed to" based on some gendered technicality.

Don't feel like you need to sacrifice parts of yourself in order to transition. If the best version of you is a man who knits, or a man who likes pink, or a man who enjoys wearing makeup, resist the urge to destroy these pieces of yourself.

Detractors will attempt to weaponize everything about you in an attempt to de-legitimize who you are. The most radical thing you can do is show them how your passions only make you stronger.

The dread is real, but it gets easier to assert yourself over time. You might even find yourself becoming an ambassador to other men wrt your hobbies. Good luck!

Why you always gotta be held hostage bro 😭

Dawg I’m just a girl making dl content I guess 😭 man I don’t even have coworkers for this//nm

It's crazy how well-crafted Hadestown is, like there aren't many shows out there that have equally strong messages artistically and politically. What do you think of the balancing of Hades as a character? Personally I love how it's shown that even after his reconnection with Persephone it's his clinging to the existing power structure that leads him to make the deal he does with Orpheus, so it isn't a clear-cut redemption - I think that is what makes it so neither his humanity nor the system he upholds feels hollow.

CRACKS KNUCKLES ok so on a character/thematic/narrative level I'm obsessed with Hades because the political compentary he represents feels so coherent and distinctly recodnizable to like, Figures and Systems Of Power that exist in the world right now

I really really really love how Hades specifically turns to industry because he is *lacking* genuine love/connection/care and using these material comforts trying to fill the void inside him -- "Lover, you were gone so long/ Lover, I was lonesome/ So I built a foundry/ In the ground beneath your feet" -- it feels very similar to how so much of modern life is Being Sold The Idea Of Love And Connection. We too turn to capitalism to replace genuine connection that is lacking in our lives, like how buying and being sold the aesthetics of community is easier than actually creating and being in community. Genuine affection and care vs the feeling of power as you wield it over others.

And Hades doing this only further alienates him from Persephone, and it becomes this vicious cycle of him creating and upholding a system that drives away any actual connection, which then of course only motivates him to Continue Onwards. His "Lover, when you see that glare/ Think of it as my despair for you" with Persephone responding "Lover, what have you become/ Coal cars and oil drums/ Warehouse walls and factory floors/ I don't know you anymore".

And re: Hades' redemption, I think the fascinating thing is he ISN'T redeemed. TO ME!! He gets to the point of redemption and then he turns away, which I think fits really well into the overarching theme of the show, as in, resisting the pull of capitalism feels impossible and often ends in tragedy but we should do it anyway, and also fits the PATTERN of the show, which is people getting to the doorstep of freedom and then turning around.

Specifically, when Orpheus asks "Can we go?" and Hades says "I don't know", that is his redemption point. He wants to help them, but he feels stuck, and trapped in this web he created and sat himself in the middle of. Can he break his own system? And Hades' personal tragedy is he gets SO CLOSE but then the Fates (or like, his own inner dialogue) come in and tempt him away. They make him Doubt -- "If you let him go/ Oh you're a spineless king/ And you'll never get em in line again". He is, at the end of the day, TOO trapped in the system he has created ("Whole damn nation's watching you"), too dependent on the workers he exploits that he doesn't see any other way to live. "That's the way the world is". Hades gets so close to letting them go before he turns around, because he decides that letting them go means letting himself go, and he no longer thinks that is possible.

He does let them try, though. "Give them a rope and they'll hang themselves" he does expect them to fail, because he doesnt himself have hope that another world is truly possible, but he knows Orpheus does. Even as he turns back I feel like he's saying. If you believe another world is possible, prove it. "Show the way so we believe"

And I'm just so obsessed with this sequence because like -- "Show the way so we can see/ Show the way the world could be/ If you can do it, so can she/ If she can do it, so can we/ Show the way" -- the unspoken here is that Hades is watching too, and this is a trial, and a test, and like. He can't break the system. He doesn't know how, he doesn't feel like it's possible. But he's watching, he can't not watch, and so that means like. Orpheus' effort is worth it. His believing is worth it. Even as they all fail, again and again and again, it's worth it.

sculptor x golem where the eroticism of clay and hands is transposed onto a lover literally working with your body like a material.... the body and the creation/modification of a body as the site of sexuality through transformation..... which ties thematically into transness... the knowledge & skill & reverence of working with clay applied to loving someone.... the physical superimposed onto the emotional.... YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!!! YOUR MINNNNNDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaah thank you ❤️❤️ Semach is very much a vessel of gender feelings and body issues, self care, the stress of maintaining oneself wholly alone, vanity, and how no matter how hard you work on your outside one always has cracks in the inside that can break them.

It's fun thinking about love and how that shapes and changes you both physically and emotionally and I need this little clay man to be molded but also for a man of flesh to realize how malleable another can make him 👁️👁️

Going to rack my brain for how to depict them together
