thinking about the clay highwayman. thinking about hearts and parallels and cycles.

the fact that the King’s means of control over the clay men comes from his diamond heart is significant on its own. it is something he did not want, that was given to him violently and painfully and without a choice. something he resents, and still clearly does cause him pain.

but the King also gives the clay men these diamond hearts, and they also don’t get a choice in the matter. they also owe him the debt of their lives, just as the King owes the Manager.

when the Highwayman wants to create a clay man free of the King’s influence, he brings a diamond heart of his own, not from the King. another lover is created who owes their existence to their partner and a diamond heart they were given.

the King finds out about this and is furious. does he see himself in the Highwayman’s creation? does he remember how it feels to owe the heart inside your chest to someone else who thought they could save you, but never asked if you wanted to be saved?

does the King see May in the Highwayman? does he want to teach him the lesson his own lover never learned?

perhaps he sees it as mercy to unmake the Highwayman’s lover. a misguided, but understandable idea. if he was given the choice, would he have died on the altar that day?

but there is a unique cruelty in the fact that the Highwayman himself is the one to do it. that the King makes him do it. that he makes the Highwayman rip the heart out of his lover’s chest and cast it away.

maybe it is not misplaced mercy. maybe it is misplace revenge.

but then, the King is just as guilty of this crime, of creating people who owe him their very hearts without ever haven chosen this life. fragments of his heart are in the chest of every clay man.

in mask of the rose, Moss says that whatever the King wishes to occur, occurs. the King sends him on a doomed quest out of anger.

the King is not a kind ruler. whatever circumstances led him to this, he holds that same power that he hates May for. and he does not hold back from using it against his own clay men.

and of course, there is the fact that the Highwayman replaces his heart, from the King, with the heart of his destroyed lover. the heart then ceases to be a symbol of a debt, and becomes instead one of devotion and mourning.

I feel insane thanks for coming to my ted talk.

On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.

Bonus:

#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks #hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature #ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual #isat spoilers #isat #isat fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #sifloop #THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY #in stars and time #in stars and time fanart #lucabyteart #RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete #they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot

#trafficshipping #smallidarity #<- shipping rlly isn't the main main focus here but it ends on the kiss so I'm scared to tag anything else lol #cw blood #my art #animatic #it's more like. visuals for character analysis thoughts. because this is way more fun for all of us than writing it all out as an essay #I don't expect you guys to. Get it btw or at least not all of it alot of this is very self indulgent and jumps around the timeline #it's like 99% just for me but still. I hope the smallidarity enjoyers of the world can get smth out of it at least lol #very very very happy for ppl to ask abt specific scenes if ur interested ofc #I prefer not to spell out what things mean cus like. It's more fun for me thinking of ppl applying their own thoughts onto my stuff.#but if you ask I will yap forever god bless #if you want you can play a game of spot the jojo reference. and spot the utena reference #ANYWAY YEAH WOO scott and joel content yes yes yes woo!!!!#do they have a duo name like. at all. is that a thing #happy pride everyone

some "new" designs for different crassus and pompey, specifically for a side project I've been playing with that's so removed from anything relevant (action/adventure/horror standalone story lmao) that they kind of needed their own thing. this story's pompey has a neck scar from an Incident™, crassus has shorter hair and wears (checks notes) jewelry sometimes.

#graves grime and gore tag #the default designs are still the ''''trikaranos''''' ones because it's nebulously like. eh. grounded enough in rome #this is the dmbj au but it's less dmbj and more like i put on every tomb robber movie on youku and went 'yeah okay'#while i was working. anyway. when i post from that story. i will make it clear that it is a separate contained story doing it's own thing #this version of crassus also more or less has black hair while my main crassus has brown hair #pompey is bottle blond no matter what universe he's in #god what else what else. it's set during their first joint consulship. crassus is more of an outright dick but it's because he's annoyed #that pompey is not getting with the program (you cannot become sulla during peace time!)#and this version of pompey is like a specific imposter syndrome anxiety has been cranked up to eleven and it's made him #overly competitive in stupid ways like the thing you think crassus is doing does not matter to him in the slightest #we gotta establish characterizations right off the bat and we're swinging big because i am NOT setting up anything prior to Events #like (snaps fingers) go explore the ruins consuls! get in the TOMB FELLAS. KEEP GOING GUYS

Haven't been uploading art as much because I'm kind of going through an art style crisis again LOL. Not very happy with my art at the moment, so I've been trying to experiment and practice!

So I've started a new project to help work out the details of my art style. Working on my take of a Deltarune Yellow setting, so have some experimental Clovers!

#the cowboy hat draws #Uhh I won't put this in the main tags because it's just WIPs and rough sketches #But yeah! I promise I am trying to get stuff done. I'll come back to Lucky Clover when I'm in a better relationship with my art #Deltarune Yellow #<- Tag for this AU #EDIT: UHH this is a wip but if you wanna reblog by all means!#Idk what the usual rules are for that but I don't mind LOL

Tetris Fanart.

I've been playing tetris while listening to horror podcasts. and yeah

#text #art #eyestrain #cw eystrain #bright colors #cw bright colors #tetris #nintendo #god i dont know what to tag this with. i dont wanna tag it with the podcasts themselves cuz that feels disingenuous. swagever #i actually started this piece a while ago. ok yeah looking at the date that was almost 3 weeks ago wow #but i finally decided to bring it back and finish it #ive been getting back into digital art and its been really nice. its nice having finished pieces.#ive been trying to get weirder with my art. like this piece was weirdly 'personal' in a sense #its been my unique experience listening to these pieces of media. the game in the bg is jsut as important to my experience as the art itsel #the looming sense of dread these podcasts give fit weirdly well with the high tension of some of these games of tetris #i wanted to have that sorta weird ominous vibe to it. have even the pieces feel loud and threatening.#and the gameplay being Past the ds itself is something i thought could be neat #ykno the tetris effect? where you play a bunch and then after you see the shapes everywhere;you play it in your mind?#that was part of what i wanted to channel there. but also like; how your attention works with this stuff #i might be looking straight at the ds but my attention is elsewhere; my brain is in another world #the game is still inescapable tho. tetris effect whatever. these stories stick in my brain just as much.#its all given me some. very very annoyingn anxiety. but i have to go back to them. like a moth to a flame etc. hince the moth climbing out #but uh yeah. that set up was my life for a few weeks whenever i had free time.#the main podcast this is about was magnus btw <- not typing full name so im not on the tag #and uh.#objectum #yeah i think. i think yeah.
