A BROTHER IS AN IMMEASURABLE THING
“We are one. As we share the glory of our victories, so too should we share the pain of our defeat. In this way we grow closer, we grow stronger.”
—and so is forgiveness
Assassin’s Creed (2007) / Sophocles’ Antigone (trans. Ruth Fainlight & Robert J. Littman) / Catullus 101 (trans Anne Carson)

OUR HISTORY IS ONE DRENCHED IN BLOOD
[…] his brother, Paciano Mercado, was a disciple of Burgos, '72 meant for Rizal the childhood trauma of a change of name — from Mercado to Rizal — and the wound was obviously still festering when, years later, he defiantly dedicated his second novel to the martyred priests.
-Nick Joaquin
A Question of Heroes, Nick Joaquin / the trailer for GomBurZa
#comparatives tag#colonial era ph#literally studying the history of the philippines is just. christ. the blood is still wet. the martyred priests. the murder of bonifacio#by his own countrymen. this desire to beatify them and make it something beautiful when it wasn't. jesus wept

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.
(Edit: Hating on Menelaus is illegal)
#makes me sad that when I want to tag her. it goes staight to “Troy” . Hector. Andromache. Priam. etc. are of TROY. she was only for acouple#years compared to that being their HOME. SHE wanted to go to HER home. MEH#idk what a good comparison would be but maybe like going abroad for job/school/etc. for a while. and then coming back home.#Are you now only known for what you did for a short while away from your home when you've spent the rest of your life home otherwise?#helen of troy#greek mythology#tagamemnon#helen of sparta#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus

revisited the old "they descended from ancients + shadow was made by them" concept and put more thought into the markings this time, that and i took cues from their concept arts as a treat for myself. no chaos forms this time bc if this has to sit on my hard drive any longer im going to start running up the walls hee hoo
(old art + original concept for the curious i suppose)
#sonic boom#sonic the hedgehog#tails the fox#amy rose#knuckles the echidna#sticks the badger#shadow the hedgehog#purp art#this took me way too long and i struggled with the poses way too much and it did not cure my art slump. oh well#at least i got to compare this to my old art and feel like i've improved#anyway i need a new tag for this shit so i can like. revamp it from the ground up#bygone ancients#<- that works actually i'll add it to my nav page at some point#sonic#sth

this tweet & this scene from the mystery of the abyss movie
#comparatives tag#<< for non art posts where i connect the dots with various things#dmbj#heihua#reunion mystery of the abyss#like what the fuck!! what the fuck!!!!#both of them were so 'im going to die for you' this entire movie i have never been more stressed out watching something in my life#if you are unfamiliar with dmbj: there are multiple layers to how upsettingly tragic this is#i keep trying to summarize it in the tags but honestly all im getting is 'you're in a car with a beautiful boy and you're both#trying to die for each other.'#like you want him to live so so badly because he's SUPPOSED to outlive you#and he can't stand to have you die in front of him as long as he's still breathing! im clawing at the fucking walls guys

Cassius Dio, 40.27 (trans. Earnest Cary) / Canto 20, 116-17 of Purgatorio, Dante Alighieri (trans. Durling)
#ngl this is the first time ive really thought abt crassus' mention in purgatorio and i feel SO unwell about it like oh my god#and in purgatorio!!!! wow! but also this line is so invasive and violent (kind of sexy for that ngl)#esp when you consider that (we are getting away from the themes dante has established so if any of you reblog this and dunk on dante#i will banish you to the shadow realm im not joking)#lucullus is one of the two charged with crassus' narrative doom because it's lucullus' displays of wealth that tempt crassus#screaming screaming screaming. what DOES gold taste like! what flavor did it have on your tongue!#comparatives tag#marcus licinius crassus

no but the thing is. they KISSED. on screen. it was a real scene, not deleted, not removed from a script, it HAPPENED in front of the world's eyes. and AND the actors are normal about it and the whole cast and crew is normal about it and it's not vague and it's IMPORTANT. no matter the rest of it and what came after it, it happened!!
#and i AM gonna say this in the tags to avoid too much controversy but#STOP COMPARING GOOD OMENS TO SUPERNATURAL THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POINT IN DOING THAT. WHY#why do you need to treat good omens as inferior to a show that was so fucked up. i love certain aspects of spn but#i would never in my life pit those shows against each other because they are nowhere near the same in ANY way#and guess what. i feel more fulfilled with the (CANON might i remind you) arc between crowley and aziraphale than i ever did with destiel#there. i said it and i WILL happily die on that hill alone if i had to#I LOVE WHEN ROMANTIC FEELINGS BETWEEN CHARACTERS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED AMD THEY DID THAT FOR FUCKING REAL#good omens spoilers#gomens#good omens 2#good omens#aziracrow#ineffable husbands#david tennant#michael sheen

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)
#dc comics#batfamily#damian wayne#stephanie brown#dick grayson#talia al ghul#duke thomas#cassandra cain#mine#woo new art tag. please god let me keep this up all year#uhh anyway yeah! still a big backlog of sketches but i got burnt out which means i had time to collect some#i feel like my art looks. extremely different w/o lines compared to with? idk i worry that's it weird/off-putting#but hey at the end of the day I'm hardly worrying about my brand integrity on tumblr dot com#duke and cass being at poetry club is based on them canonically being into poetry and for a good while duke and jason got along well#Steph is there for both jason and cass' emotional support (unfortunately there's a design flaw. she can't do both simultaneously)#(which is fine bc cass is fleeing the scene at the idea of having to casually hang out with jason)#(they're the exact amount of similar and more importantly different that it's like putting two firecrackers together. bad)#i really like the steph mask designs... it'd be fun to do something with them but idk what y'know?#I'm just like. if we're assuming that her mask has to be different from both babs and cass then this is what I've got as alternatives#i mostly wanted to practice character interaction with the talia and damian one... and also i love them#looking at james gunns batman movie proposal. you keep your hands OFF HER MR GUNN#please if shes evil in a movie they're never gonna let her be good in the comics again 😭#dc when you inevitably cave and do your next big reboot let the ppl finally have the son of the demon origin (w/ tweaks of course)#idk it's canon in my heart. heartcanon if you will <3#anyway yeah uhhhhhh enjoy?
