i am constantly thinking about how young Lae'zel is and how underutilized that is in fandom

[starrysharks]

In one post you mention that you needed to make designs for wrath and gluttony (if I read it correctly I think they’re supposed to be parts of the assassins) and I was wondering who are the other deadly sins? (If the answer doesn’t contain spoilers that is, if it does then ig I’ll ask who’s your favorite assassin to draw so this ask isn’t mostly useless)

so there are 7 deadly sins in total, all ranked from least to most formidable/powerful/prolific/etc -

7. vivica de la crux aka envy

6. needles of the church (+ pins) aka sloth

5. dice demonné aka greed

4. lunette strikewhite aka pride

3. V.A. angel aka lust

2. gluttony

1. wrath

you'll notice that dice demonné hasn't been mentioned yet until this point! he's not a spoiler unlike the last two assassins (who are between designs, i've even been considering rebooting their concepts entirely or swapping around their ranking). he's one of the more lighthearted assassins so his sin is expressed pretty literally through a casino, where he's the high roller who makes and wins crazy bets and puts people into bankruptcy!

but, by day, he acts as a priest for the church, who has the same people he cheated the night before come to him confessing their sins and asking for forgiveness. he basically says "pay a tithe and god will forgive you" - when they can't pay any longer, he has them killed. usually it's enemies of the organisation who get put in this trap. (or sometimes in the middle of a game, he'll get pissed and have people killed regardless. witnesses are just given hush money.)

he has a cane to defend himself, but doesn't really fight on his own - he has his two sidekicks to fight for him, just like how needles has pins. (ignore how i forgot to draw kimberly's gun.....) they're nuns by day and casino girls at night!

(and my fav assassin to draw is probably vivica, though i have fun with all of them equally!)

I HAVE LOST MY MIND

[justin-peudeau-reblog]

I would have loved Jesus in his enterity if he didn't bring the eternal suffering in Hell stuff into his story. It just feels soooo tyrannical and imposing. If it wasn't for that, unironically, I would have follow him way more easily.

do not understand people on TH who will have all of their OCs up for money offers etc. like is nothing sacred to you

God I hate the whole “well I think trans people should have medical access easier but cosmetic surgeries should have more hoops attached to them” because newsflash! It’s REALLY hard to differentiate what is cosmetic and what is medical. Boob reduction? Generally medical but classified as cosmetic. Reasons someone could be getting a rhinoplasty can range from “I wanted to look different” to “I cannot breath through my nose due to the way my body was made.” And also. Why should we restrict adults doing what they want with their own bodies? Even if they do want to change the way they look? Of course we live in a beauty oriented culture and that culture is disgusting but the solution to that is not “let’s limit what adults can do with their bodies” it’s “hey what if anyone could do whatever they wanted with their bodies regardless of stigma?” Dress how you want. Present the gender you’d like to. Wear your hair or lack thereof however you’d like. Yes, even get cosmetic surgeries to fit those bullshit beauty standards. Because believe it or not, any adult, cis or trans, should have full autonomy over their own body and what they do with it

[satoriberry]

this one girl went on tiktok and cried about that song that's like "hello christ im boutta sin again" (with the girls running through the globe y'all know which one?), basically saying that christ died for all our sins and how we shouldnt be doing this to HER jesus YES SHE SAID "MY JESUS" LMFAOOOO LIKE 😭😭😰 DAWG ARE YOU FOR REAL?

A Canary’s Final Flight

My piece for @trafficzine 4th edition! Get it for free here! 200 pages of excellent art and fics, incredible work from all participants and from the mods especially!! huge shoutout to the mods for real

Process notes under the cut! (I struggled a lot so it's a bit of a novel)

So the entire process was a Ride. I knew when I picked this prompt that I was going to have a hard time, because Jimmy’s final death had been illustrated a billion times over by extremely talented artists. But I had a Vision of the snapshot of the second before the impact, when everything is still but you know what’s about happen. It was very much inspired by the clip of Fog by Jabberwocky, bu the thing is, they have the advantage of all the build up of the fall, and that’s when the trouble started.

This was my first version, and obviously it wasn't working. And I was trying so hard, with so many iterations! Small wings, big wings, no wings, different poses, less backgrounds elements. I'd done compositions were everything seemed peaceful but something is Wrong, but it wasn't working this time.

So instead I focused on what rendering I'd like to do - I tried a painterly approach, for that visceral feeling, but it wasn't working either (but hey, I did keep the red sky, so, progress)

At this point I'd been doing back and forths for weeks and I was just as lost as at the start. Now that's my tip for people who make art of any kind, in situations like that, stop thinking about how you can make the best piece possible, and think about you can have fun with it (because when you aren't it's visible). And for that was, 1 - going back to using ink and pen nibs and doing way too detailed inking, and 2- looking at Dave McKean's covers for Sandman (which, funnily enough, was also a reference for my previous trafficzine piece)

And from there I was actually going somewhere! Between the jagged rocks, the red sky, and the increased verticality with the borders, I had hit the vibes I wanted.

I did some experimentation with the border, and even though I really liked the bad boys I drew they were taking too much away from the lonely desolation, so I actually used Red (Unecessary Redstone)'s idea of all of Jimmy's worldy's possessions scattered on the ground post impact, with the idea to make it looks like the central image is his grave being dug.

(and yes for a short amount of time the were supposed to be clock markings on the sun, but there was already enough going with the wings so I scrapped that) (also fun fact the reason why the wings aren't fully material but more ghostly is because my toddler cousin was watching me draw the very first draft and asked why he didn't just use his wings and i went :( so the wings are a metaphor now)

So from there I found a bunch of picture and took some myself, cut and assembled everything together, added shadows in all the appropriate places, and repainted some elements so that everything would look better intergrated (some of the wheats are basically 100% handpainted, the cardboard as well). This took a suprisingly long amount of time, but I was done!

Well I wasn't expecting to have that much to say, but I hope if you're still reading, it was at least interesting!

Ｂｅａｓｔ Ｍｉｇｕｅｌ ｏ＇Ｈａｒａ

Synopsis - After you sister leaves you to hang with your boss, both his and your lives becoming a waking nightmare

Pairing - Yandere! Miguel o’Hara x Fem! Reader

Featuring - Jessica Drew but the black version cause I luv black women

Tags and Warnings - Stalking, Kidnapping, Violence towards reader

Authors Note - I LUV HIM SM MY GOD. I HADDD TO WRITE SOMETHING. Also I believe this contains slight spoilers??? I think???

A friendly reminder that all my works are dark fanfiction! Please if you do not like that do not read them! This is your final warning before hitting the keep reading button!!

“Jess! Are you sure it's okay that I'm here? I'm not really spider-like.” You followed behind your sister, her afro swinging as she walked. You fiddled with the band she gave you in order to keep you from glitching out.

It was all so casual, and almost everyone greeted her. The architecture was other worldy, almost only to benefit the inhabitants. Speaking of, there was many, too many to count. 2D, 3D, Male, Female, Pigs, Horses, Cats, almost anything imaginable.

While you looked at it all in amazement, they all looked at you, and gave you dirty and worried looks. At least thats what it looked like under their masks.

“Oh Miguel won't like this…”

“I didn't know they allowed just anyone up here?”

“I mean Peter B brings his daughter so I guess it's a pass."

“I just know Miguel doesn't like anything new. He might bare his fangs or something. You know that guy and sacre tactics.”

You shuddered at the way they spoke of this Miguel guy. But you kept following behind Jessica until she came to a huge hatch, in which opened up on her walking up.

“Miguel!”

“What do you need Jessica, aren't you supposed to be on a mission?”

“I do, but I need you to do a favor!” Jessica yelled, shoving your shoulder to push you ahead. “My sister is visiting from college in my dimension. I need someone to watch over her and I trust you'll do that without letting her get hurt.”

You finally looked up seeing a sharp jawed man looking down at you. His spider suit glew a dark blue with bright red highlights. His brown hair was pushed back, framing his face perfectly. Not only that, but he was huge, built like a giant.

He came down from his workspace, now closer to you than ever. His chest was too your face and you had to look up too look at him. He seemingly almost over analyzed you, eyes trialing up and down your form. “Fine. Just go handle the situation.”

Jessica raised a brow and crossed her arms. “Fine? Just fine? You usually aren't just okay with this type of stuff. You sur-”

“Your questioning my decisions?” Miguel said his stature becoming stiff, seemingly fed up with her constant questioning.

“No… just wondering. Don't have too much fun you two.” Jessica said giving you a small hug before walking off. As the hatch door closed, Miguel's hand went to your back, ushering you to walk with him.

“I'll give you a chair so you can stay within my sight. I don't want to lose you.” You nodded, watching as he turned away from you, going back to his work. A chair was pushed your direction, and when you finally got to sitting down the cushioned seat almost swallowed you whole. You could take a nap if you wanted too, it was just that comfortable. And you almost did, until you were pulled from your rest with a deep voice.

“Did she tell you, or did you piece it together?”

“Huh?"

“Jessica. Did you just figure out she was Spider-Woman?”

Miguel's hands just kept working, his focus divided between talking to you and his work. “To be honest, I just figured it out. When I asked her if what I thought was true, she just seemed relieved and told me everything.”

Miguel seemed surprised at this making a strange humming noise. “You two must be very close huh?”

“Yeah. I wouldn't trade the world for the bond me and her share. I'm glad she trusted me enough to tell me about that side of her life. From what she told me, Spiderman doesn't usually tell people about what he does. It's refreshing you know… I'm sorry am I rambling too much?”

“No. Your fine, I'm actually enjoying the company. I'm in here by myself most of the time. It's nice to hear another voice.” You gave him a small smile in which he returned, smirking at you. He stopped working and his screens switched off. “What do you do for fun?”

“Me? Fun? Uhh I don't know. I'm a college student with just about 0 connections. I guess reading?” You finally chased for a reply.

“LYLA get someone to bring me a book from the library. Hell bring two.” Miguel said, finally an AI woman popping up. She teased him a bit before finally having someone bring you two books. Miguel then sat down next too you beginning to open one of the books he brought.

“Your willing to read with me?”

“Yeah. I need to get my mind off of things anyway.”

🩸

Once Jessica had picked you up, Miguel felt weird. He knew you were attractive. Like very attractive. But that wasn't normal for him. He usually didn't see attraction in people.

Something else he also knew was that when he was around you he felt comfortable. He had no worries and you took them all away. It was a feeling he could only recall when he was with his “daughter.” He'd let you snuggle up close too him, physical touch being something he hadn't felt in a while.

“LYLA. I need you to pull any information on Jessica Drew's sister. It can be from any dimension, I just need to know everything.” Miguel basically ordered the ai. She popped up in front of him, with that same smug look she always gave when questioning his any of his decisions.

“Why would you need that?! It's not like she's ever going to get bitten by a radioactive spider.” LYLA said bringing up a huge collection of information she'd found on you in a heartbeat. “But hey I'll indulge this. Let's see, she's almost always college student, future looks like a journalist, ooh she's judgemental! And just about always single. Seems like her connection to Jessica Drew is always the sisterly role.”

Miguel fell more and more in love the more LYLA talked. “Send all that too my computer.”

“Gotcha! Hopefully this will help you.” LYLA said dissipating away. Miguel stared at the picture of you on one of the screens.

He had to have you. At any means necessary.

🩸

You'd finally saved up for a apartment to where you could stay without the need for dorm mates.

Being a journalism major meant you needed all the focus you could get. And you couldn't find that when around all those people. So you left.

Usually you wrote uplifting pieces for your sister as her and the press don't usually get along well. Even though your pretty sure she knows you wrote majority of her good stories, you also know she'd smile seeing that people appreciated her work.

As you were turned around and began slicing open a box to unpack in your room, a voice boomed from your window. “Hi sweetheart.” From across your room stood a towering Miguel o’Hara. He crawled his way into your room, shutting the window behind him.

“Umm hi Miguel. Are you looking for Jess? She's not here i-” Miguel cut you off.

“I'm not looking for her. I was actually looking for you. I came to talk to you about something.” Miguel started moving closer, slowly stepping towards you. He ducked past your light fixture, finally truly Intimidating you. Something about the way he was coming towards you frightened you. His size almost made it worse.

“Oh. Well of course. You can talk to me about anything.” You trailed off putting your knife to the side, giving Miguel your undivided attention

“I want you to come live with me. At the headquarters. No one has to know. Not even your sister.” He said causally. He was right on you, making you trip and buckle to fall on your bed. You looked up at him, pushing yourself further into the bed.

“That's, crazy Miguel. I can't that, I'm a college student! I don't even know you enough for that!”

"But I know you. I've studied you. Every possibility of you. I know more about you than you know yourself!" You let out a small gasp. This man had been essentially stalking you.

"Miguel. That makes it even worse, the last answer is no. And.... And I need you to go."

“You just don't get it do you?” Miguel's hand hit the wall, claws digging and dragging in the drywall. “I don't think you understand I'm not asking you to do anything. This is me telling you.”

And with that you kicked against him, trying to immobile him at any means possible. You had to find Jessica.

But he grabbed your wrist, trying to drag you to your window. He hoisted you up to his shoulder like you weighed nothing.

“Let go! Let go of me, Jess! Jess please!!” You began to scream out for your sister seeing if maybe, just maybe she was around to help you.

But she wasn't.

No one was.

You started to beat on Miguel's back. He was now out of your window and climbing up the side of your apartment, heading to the roof. “You better stop fighting, this is destiny. Our destiny.” When he finally made it to the roof he put you down and a hexagonal portal appeared as he messed around with his arm band. You began to heave on impact with the hot concrete. Miguel then turned back towards you, watching in amusement as you dragged yourself slowly to get away from him.

“What are you doing?!” Miguel's head snapped as he stared at LYLA who now stood in front of him at full height. “Your pulling the exact same thing you tried before this, before you made the society! Made me!”

"You don't understand. You will never understand."

"I understand more than you will ever know. You need to stop. And you need to stop now!"

You took this as a opening to crawl your way to the nearest side of the building. You could hear Miguel snarl and yell at Layla. But you tried to pay no mind to that as you looked down over the right edge of the building. You saw a metal of the top apartments stairway.

Fuck this would hurt.

Your body hit the metal with a loud bang, the adrenaline wore off as you finally felt all the bruises and gashes you gotten. “Fuck, my god. Jess… Spider-Woman! Plea-” You felt a hand on the back of your neck. Claws dug in to the front, slightly nicking at your neck.

“Where are you going?”

Miguel picked up your body like you weighed nothing. He then carried and slammed you against the nearby wall. When trying to move your hand to tap on the glass pane, Miguel's other hand grabbed at your wrist, immobilizing you. “Miguel please don't do this! Jessica, she's going to look for me I know it jus-”

“Shh My Love… this won't hurt a bit.” Miguel barred his fangs at you opening wide and moving to your neck. And before you could protest he bit deep into it, venom seeping into your veins. You felt woozy, and realized you couldn't move an inch. Just how he wanted you.

“It's all going to be okay Mi Vida. I know exactly what you need... A family. And not just any family. A family with me."

Percy Jackson is the type...

Percy Jackson is the type of guy that will annoyingly tap his foot against your chair during class, because theyre so long he absolutely has to stretch them out. He’s a very fidgity sort of person, always tapping his foot, tapping a pen, shaking a leg, or moving around in his seat. It can get very distracting! He folds his arms in front of him and hunches and leans forward a tad-bit, and if you turn around to look you just see this intimidating guy with the greenest eyes you have ever seen and you immedietly turn around and rethink what you saw. Sometimes he has the type of effect on people. People will sometimes wonder if they saw a perosn or another worldy-figure from their imagination when he walks past them on the street. And it doesn't help when he disspears from school every now and then. Funnily enough, he doesn't like it when other people type too loudly or "click" too hard when using a computer. But he is fine its him. Percy's body language is a bit dismissive, as if he doesn't want to be approached, but he really doesn't mind when people talk to him its just that he doesnt understand why. Why would anybody need his help? Why would people ask for his opinion? He gives very short answers and he only gives a curt nod in greeting to some classmates. He might not all that imposing on the outside but he does have a very particular presence ... I can't really explain this. Either way, he is also really good with words. He has a wide vocabulary and is sectrely happy when people ask him when you need the definition of a word. He is insightful, he absorbs the world around him. Percy is a very straightforward and practical thinker, and this can sometimes be refreshing to people who have grown tired of excessive social niceties.

I really like Sage, and the final episode makes me like her even more because it's so nice to see an antagonist who doesn't really hate the protagonist and is just doing evil for the fuck of it. She's literally the smartest person on earth! Of course, she'd be bored just living life normally, but with Homelanders' help, she gets to be evil and manipulative for fun!

She really doesn't any any grudge against The Boys or any particular desire to rule the world she's just having fun, it's like playing battle simulator games but with actual people for her, she's so above all those petty motivations. It elevates her character above that of a mortal because, as god-like as Homelander is, he's too petty, stupid, easily manipulated, and he simply cares too much about the opinions of others. He can't truly be a god because he cares about worldy mortal shit way too much.

In contrast, I'd say Sage is the most God like superhero we've seen so far. Because even though she might not be the strongest with godly powers, she actually IS above the other mortals simply because she doesn't CARE about any of them at all, people are just pawns and little dolls for her to play around and have fun with. And if that isn't god like I don't know what is.

Herzen (3052)~ Part. 2

Herzen represents your hearts content and where you vibrate on the frequency of love. This asteroid represents the heart. Today, we'll be going over more prominent aspects/placements in synastry, composite, and the natal chart. In the natal chart, Herzen will show where you vibrate on the frequency of love and where you love the hardest. In synastry, we see where this love is ignited between the two. In composite, if there are prominent placements, then it shows where there is unconditional love within the relationship. Also, adding that this asteroid represents affection and cuddling/hugging. After doing more research, herzen is German and translates into "cuddling, hugging" and, of course, the heart. It is complete affection and can show meaning something from the bottom of your heart.

🪷 This asteroid is even more interesting down to its name, HER-ZEN.

Herzen in 1h/ conjunct Asc

In the natal chart, this shows that the person is going to rise into the full embodiment of the heart frequency. Throughout their lives, they may be inclined to see how important it is for them to love and experience unconditional love. They will also likely have to understand self-love as well. Others can view them as someone who is pleasant to be around, and to partners, they exude love. They are usually very loving individuals. They attract partners who look for this energy.

In synastry, the 1h person views the herzen person as vibrating at this love frequency. The herzen person can deeply love the 1h person just for being who they are. There can be mutual love between the two.

In composite, this relationship exudes the heart frequency, and everyone sees it, including the couple. They really love and care about each other, and this can be one of the main themes of the relationship.

Herzen conjunct Jupiter

As most of us know, jupiter expands everything it touches. Herzen is the hearts content. Jupiter is also what gives us wisdom & luck, in the natal chart, the native possesses the ability to love largely similar to herzen conjunct Neptune. Herzen conjunct Jupiter can experience different perspectives of love, and over their lifetime, what brings contentment to their heart depends on their beliefs and what part of the world they are in. They can develop a devotion to spirituality or religion and love of God. They are blessed in the area of their hearts' content because no matter what, jupiter will make sure they have plenty. The native can also have a very big heart and love helping others. They have a love of helping humanity and people all over the world.

In synastry, the jupiter person expands the herzens persons ability to love unconditionally. There is a lesson and wisdom, Jupiter is here to bestow upon the herzen person. This of course can go both ways, because while jupiter is very expansive, and in a negative state can be greedy the herzen person can help jupiter control this, and learn to love what they have been blessed with. There is a lot of love between the two, and there could be a difference in their backgrounds and beliefs, but they grow to love that side of each other.

In composite, this relationship has no boundaries when it comes to how much they love each other. The contentment of the heart in this relationship is endless and filled with blessings.

Herzen conjunct Uranus

Herzen conjunct Uranus Natally shows the native has a unique way of showing unconditional love & affection. Their hearts' content stems from things that make them feel liberated and free. Times that are unique and make dramatic impact on their life. They can teach others to love regardless of worldy class or backgrounds. This is where these natives authenticity, and eccentricity shine. They have a very eccentric way of showing unconditional love. These people can be more detached and not care to show physical affection, but just know they do care and think about others in their every move. They vibrate at the frequency of love when they are true to themselves and the community they surround themselves with. They are a trendsetter for unconditional love.

In synastry we see that the herzen person is likely here to love the more qurkiest parts of the uranus person. They are different, and this brings the herzen person attention to the uranus person. The uranus person is different, and there is something that stands out about them to the Herzen person. With the uranus person, they are also able to love the weirdest parts of the herzen person. This is quite literally otherworldly love. It's unconventional and something a lot of people may raise their eyebrows at.

In composite, the same applies as above. There is an energy of unconventional love within their relationships that both likely strongly feel, and they feel a common goal towards being authentic to their hearts.

Herzen 4h/Cancer

This placement in the natal chart shows that your heart is content within your home, ancestral lineage, and what is familiar to you. You vibrate on the frequency of love when you are surrounded within your culture, your mother, and close family members. You can love being a parent to your children or being surrounded by nostalgic memories.

In synastry, there is likely some history between these two, since 4h rules nostalgia this feeling exists especially on behalf of the 4h person. The herzen person is content with this feeling of nostalgia. The herzen person feels love when they are surrounded by memories of the 4h person, or get to know the more emotional side, and the foundation of the 4h person.

In the composite chart, this can show a shared love for the deepest parts of the other, if they do have a family it's likely to be filled with the frequency of love, and they enjoy nurturing & caring for each other this is where their relationship is the most content. They can also be very physically affectionate to one another. Since angular houses are very important in the composite, this can show that this is the base/foundation of this relationship because the 4th house is our roots.

Stay tuned for part. 3, making this into a series. To make it easier! Also, it's so hard to put into human words how UNCONDITIONAL love can be expressed to someone it's quite literally the energy of God, and not a lot of people can grasp or handle that. so as you read this, just feel the energy and transmute my words into a feeling. Because love is in everything. 🌙

Personal pet peeve of mine: Reading a yandere story with a historical setting with the yandere reducing the target of their obsession to just sitting around all day when they are not being subjected to "affections" and it being written that way for "historical accuracy".

I mean, yeah, there were gender roles in the past, but those gender roles didn't feature women being completely reduced to fleshlights with no other purpose. That was a job and it was called prostitute or concubine, and many women didn't do it willingly. Even high society women had a lot of tasks.

Being into historical re-enactment really showed me that it didn't matter if you were a man or a woman, or even just a child; you really didn't have much time to be idle. Asides, idlness was/is frowned upon in many religions and cultures.

C'mon, even the thing with societal norms is that a great part of society didn't adhere to them 'cause it just wasn't feasible. The attitude went along the lines of: "Nice morals you got there. We're just gonna throw a few out 'cause else we're not gonna survive. Mary, go get ye scythe now, the wheat's not gonna reap itself." And high society geneally didn't really practise what it preached because it was commonly too interested in debauchery.

People didn't get married for shits and giggles either. The single lifestyle only really worked when you either inheired a lot/had relatives paying for you or that you were living under your employers roof and all your worldy possessions fitted in one bag. Or you just lived with your family until you kicked the bucket. I mean, the armour and weapons a knight had were often provided by their liege lord and a priest's housing belonged to the Church.

Also, the trope of arranged marriages is a bit overused at this point. How about more stories about both parties hating each other's guts, or the woman loving the idea of marrying her intended but the man wanting to run for the hills? The woman baby-trapping the man perhaps? Because all of that existed to!

Don't get me started on fashion. Corset =/= patriarchy. You don't see the women in Jane Austen or Mary Shelley novels complaining about corsets and burning them, so let it rest. Really, that trope of corsets being a torture device comes from men making fun of woman's fashion and actresses with illfitting periode costumes. Corsets were more comfortable than stays and only really went out of fashion due to women needing more flexability due to bicycles. Ya really think ladies removed ribs, in a period where there weren't antibiotics and doctors went from cutting up corpses to treating patients without washing their hands inbetween? Common sense, where are you?

Asides, the clothing having to be chaste and covering certain parts applied to everybody. Breeches went out of fashion because people thought women would become arroused by men's exposed calves. Such standards didn't only apply to the Victorians, mind you.

I'll stop here, else this will be ten pages long. You also get the gist of it. Over and out.
