Guys guys guys!!! I just finished the jacket!!!

I do have to take care of some uni stuff beforehand but the second I'm done with that I'll make a post to show off the finished product :)

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

Perseus, Daniel Ogden

I drew the same comic twice because I didn't think the first one was funny enough. I don't know if the second comic is funnier though??

Here's both of them

Side by side because i couldn't decide which one to put first - knowing the punchline changes the experience?? pick your adventure. read either one first.

which ones funnier i honestly can't tell

I am desperately hoping that we get a BadBoyHalo that’s similar to Eggpire!Bad, because that was some wonderfully creepy acting on his part and I want more! I want the other islanders to feel their skin crawl when he talks, to sense the menace behind his honeyed words but have no proof for their fears. This is Bad! Their friendly neighbor and uncle and dad! He’s just confused right? They’re just imaging the chill down their spines when he smiles, all teeth and no warmth….right?

BEHOLD!! MORE AU BRAINROT EXCEPT MONTY TIME BABEYYY

Welcome to the Stranded AU: a space/Martian-inspired concept where Y/N, an astronaut sent off on a one-way mission toward a possibly habitable planet for research, crash lands on the wrong planet!!

There, they meet Monty—brash, rude, and VERY much not human— also stranded on the barren planet after his crew left him behind.

Together they strive to survive before the unknown environment kills them first.

(And obviously it’s a romance because @starrspice @honiegoo and I are nothing if not predictable. ENJOY DOODS)

Lil warm up doodle because I'd been playing some Thropes and then watched some dubbed DunMeshi and am a Damien Haas enjoyer so. Enjoy a Shez.

yes, it’s been three weeks, and yes, I’m still screaming about the fact that Imogen was at her lowest when she met laudna (was thinking of ending it all), and laudna had been roaming aimlessly for thirty years, utterly alone. No purpose, no reason for living, until she met the purple-haired sorcerer that saved her life no questions asked as soon as they first met, then chose to stick together forever, hold on to each other, sleep on the same bed for the next two years and help each other find answers to their miserable existence- and now, NOW that they finally got it together, got some stupid answers, and actually gained some power over the forces that had subdued them for years, KISSED, immediately- literally nine days into their relationship- the shitty world that they live in decided to make it clear and remind them that their days are numbered (significantly smaller numbers than they had accounted for) and that they won’t get to live their quiet life on a field, raise horses and just be. I AM OK ABOUT THAT. TOTALLY FINE.

Frankie Stein!! ⚡ Part 1 of 3 for my 2023 Howl-o'ween Monster High Series!! 🎃 >:)

I'm reading all of the ever after high books I haven't already read and one thing about that is that I'm absolutely EATING UP the small interactions between Darling and Apple.

Apple is the only person to not look away from Darling when she flips her hair and makes time slow down because she's too curious while all the boys who literally harass Darling all the time because of how much they like her do?

Oh yes please!

Darling apologizes for stepping on Apple's dress and in response she just smiles, birds picking up her dress so it's not interrupting anymore?

YEAH!!!

The little remarks one makes about how the other looks or is so nice?

YEEEESSSSSS!!!!

Them havING THEIR LITTLE TALKS ON BALCONIES OR COMING OTHER TO EACH OTHER'S DORMS FOR NO REASON?

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

THIS IS ALL I'VE EVER WANTED DUDEEE I AM IN HEAVEN AND THEY ARE GOD
