i'm finally reading moby dick and there's a lot i didn't know about it such as that the first several dozen chapters are very funny! to me ol Call Me Ishmael has a kind of "what if bertie wooster were 1. american 2. competent" narrative vibe, although admittedly i am what one professor once called an "idiosyncratic" reader, meaning u should not trust anything i say. anyway the book i THOUGHT "moby dick" was going to be doesn't start until captain ahab finally stumps upstairs in chapter 36 and then boy does it ever, because he has I Am In A Tragedy disease and it is contagious and now everyone who was normal two pages ago is monologuing ominously in the dead of night. did you guys know herman melville is a very good writer? have you heard about this? he really knows that if you encounter someone who has you doing soliloquies you should Leave. if you encounter that person while you are on a boat in the middle of the 19th century ocean you are fucked for sure. poor starbuck is out here like "i really would prefer to be in a story about doing my Fucking Job"

When space whale design so good you can't just steal it to your own cosmoopera story so you have to draw your first fanart in years and revive your tumblr art blog to post it

[other version and image description under the cut!]

Ezra version ♡

[ID: A horizontal artwork showing Exra Bridger from season 2 of Star Wars: Rebels and the group of space whales, Purgil. The purgil are floating in space and one of them, closest to the viewing point, is positioned so that its eye coincides with one of Ezra's eyes. Their eyes are shining teal blue. Ezra is depicted in a somewhat abstract way, he stands waist high and the space behind him, but behind the whales.

In the second version of the image, Ezra is in the foreground, while the Purgil is only in the background. He is standing and holding his lightsaber, looking somewhat lost in thought. ]

Someone, looking at Witira: wow, who is this person? She's so beautiful! Is it even possible for a human to be this beautiful?!

Clopeh: ah, this person is not a human. She's a Whale.

The general public: ... She's a what?

And everyone collectively beats him up for calling this angel incarnate of a woman a whale.

Fun fact: In Barbatos's intimacy storyline in Nightbringer he ends up living with Solomon and MC at Cocytus Hall temporarily. Here's a highlight from his 40 intimacy call:

The way he makes Solomon sit in the corner. 😭 You cannot convince me he didn't raise this man.

i might pick a different theme for now but this works :3

[the-most-sublime-fool]

obsessed with the fact that ishmael and queequeg are looking for this particular inn in nantucket specifically bc they heard the chowder is good

...and then when they find it, and the landlady tries to get them to pick their chowder flavours, ishmael somehow has no idea what's going on

like he really thinks the landlady is going to serve both him and queequeg a single cold clam for dinner?

the "mystery" is explained when the chowder comes out. at the place they tracked down specifically for the chowder.

oh ishmael. you sweet simple soul.

in fact, given his self-description as "broad-shouldered",

...i am forced to conclude that ishmael is a himbo.

no wonder queequeg locked that shit down on the spot. wife material.

Admittedly one of the reasons Subaru is trapped in his jar in my fic is because, if he wasn’t, the entire fic would very quickly devolve into hyper-indulgent “Subaru gets repeatedly smothered by cuddles” fluffy nonsense.

Thrawn or ezra ooooor (hear me out) thrawn AND ezra! Love your art btw!

I- I swear this was supposed to be a sketch I swear-

I'm always gonna be a little upset about Ruby ending up with Dorothy.

Their relationship was just super forced in my opinion. There was 0 chemistry between the two, it just felt kinda stagnant and awkward.

I get love at first sight, it's one of the main themes of the series, literally what Snow and Charmings' relationship is based on. But it was just done wrong for Ruby and Dorothy.

Ruby really only had two main love options to me.

The first being Dr. Whale- because yes. It's Red Riding Hood and Doctor Frankenstein, it shouldn't work but it does.

Their talk after Whale tries to jump off the dock is just touching, completely opening themselves up to each other in an extremely vulnerable moment.

In their one- maybe two- meetings, they had more chemistry than Ruby and Dorothy did.

And the second- my personal bias- was Ruby and Mulan. 100%. These two were the wlw ship of OUAT for me.

Like.

You see the way Mulan is looking at Ruby? That is love at first sight.

That is the most "Oh wow" look I have ever seen.

Ruby and Mulan had maybe 3 episodes in total together, and yet they had as much chemistry as any of the official couples did. The way Mulan's looking at Ruby could rival Hook and Emma's longing glances at each other.

Nothing in this show is topping Ruby and Mulan's introduction, their first meeting is quite literally Ruby mounting Mulan. That's one of the gayest (complimentary) things I've ever seen.

Mulan literally followed Ruby to a different land.

Ruby had two extremely viable love interests, and it's such a shame to me that she didn't end up with either of them.

And honestly, Mulan really deserved to end up with Ruby. Her entire story is just heartbreak, always being chosen over for someone else. Mulan and Ruby could have been an absolutely beautiful relationship, with Mulan learning to open herself up again and let herself love, and Ruby finally finding the family she's been searching for for so long, in the woman who followed her to freaking Oz no less.

This was just such a lost opportunity for a genuine relationship.

I had a thought. It probably already exists, but what is the fandom nickname for Moby Dick? I mean like you know how Harry Potter fans are called Potterheads.

…Are Moby Dick fans called Dickheads?

Imagine pulling up to the book club or to your fellows and going “What’s up Dickheads” and then proceeding to have either the most philosophical or deranged discussion about fictional whales. Probably both.

Honestly couldn’t be me. Ahem.

I didn't expect the curiosity but sure

I'll use this post as a small art dump for my favorite fella

Mind you that this is older art!

And ofc there's the larva stage
