luca and alberto are gay and dating each other, and there's nothing you can do about it! it's canon, it's fact! IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE, YOU ARE A HOMOPHOBIC BIGOT WHO REINFORCES THE DON'T SAY GAY BILL!!! LUCA AND ALBERTO ARE GAY!!!

When Apollo sees Nico and Will as a couple, do you guys think it reminds him of Hyacinthus?

Has it been long enough that we can acknowledge "vagrant" (used by Ercole against Luberto) was a stand-in for the f-slur?

And this was basically a stand-in for a gay bashing

tw: scars (from scratching when he was moulting, based on the A Depth of Pure Blue series)

i love pixar's alberto- i mean luca

nico di angelo is an icon. he is the moment. he is everything. “with great power comes great need to take a nap.” ICONIC I TELL YOU. AND I HAVE ALSO NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ELSE TRUE-ER. also can we talk about how strong this kid is. bro entered and made it out of tartarus twice. as a matter of fact he went there alone and faced a primordial goddess who scared zeus the god of all gods twice. lets be honest, nyx's phrasing in tsats was kinda offsetting and weird. “our children.” and he survived in a minuscule glass jar with simply pomegranate seeds for almost a week? he transported the athena parthenos across the globe with two other people? that is strength at its finest.

the kid they're (probably) going to cast as nico is most definitely an incredible actor. he's going to have to depict the change to a sad little Italian boy from a kid who loved his sister (rip biana u are missed) and was obsessed with mythomagic cards.

The water is quite wet, dont you think?

Something about being a sea monster in Luca is a metaphor for being gay.

The unwillingness to explore at first, until you find the right person to explore with.

The hate everyone has about them, despite not knowing anything about them.

The acceptance when they realize it’s fine.

Those two old ladies at the end (and them both being LADIES) shrugging when they see Luca & Alberto being open.

The jealousy (although unreasonable).

The terrifying idea that someone could find out and never knowing how someone close to would react when they found out.

Just watched Luca recently, in case you couldn’t tell, but that movie means sm to me.

Hey Scribblenaughts had some real lesbian material, what can I say?

yeets out some arwen sketches i’ve been doing on and off

arwen’s lighthouse agenda is @the-hilda-librarians-wife’s doing, as in she sent me that post and now it’s canon 😌 can we talk abt how i’d been turning the idea around in my head of arwen liking lighthouses bc of song of the sea and then wife just read my mind and sent me this?? she’s too powerful. also this doodle is quite old and this is how the stupid kraken following her around thing started fhfghjdsfv

also i saw this post and i had to i’m sorry

last image may or may not be based on the project arwen originally came from hehe. i did not draw it clearly but that’s a lil dehydrated jellyfish she’s trying to help :)

sea monster ride.

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins

i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement

I kind of want to be a fat sexy bimbo fishman who dresses exclusively in bikini tops all day every day no matter what or where because that’s the kind of world i wanna live in and fight for

These Wicked Depths up on ao3!

Come check this out for gay pirates and supernatural shenanigans!

-Frankly, I'm not that creative when it comes to creating fantasy languages themed after existing ones. Maybe I should work on that, and maybe I will in future revisions of this story, but for now everything in here is just real world languages with the occasional made up names. Kathibi is essentially Arabic, and Midlands Trade is referential to the historical Lingua Franca of the Mediterranean. That said, while the cultures are heavily inspired by certain aspects of real world nations, they are very much fictional and not intended to reflect on real world cultures or peoples.

-Despite intending to create a fantasy world where I can take all the creative liberties I want, I've still been researching the hell out of things to get an accurate vibe for the era and regions. That's included an hours long deep dive into the history of dye and textiles, and I am now drowning in indigo factoids

-Anyway, Ramuwa's attire is intended to fit the height of european-esque fashions, with an emphasis on wealth, mostly to piss people off with maximum effect. Now, my first impulse on color choices was black and red, but I figured, "Nah, that's too vampy and unrealistic for the era and fashions. European aristocracy wore a lot of bright colors, I'm just biased by my own tastes." So, with a wealthy image in mind, I spent three hours researching the relative values and scarcity of fabric dyes in western europe circa 1600's-1700's, and sure enough, just to spite me specifically, it just so happens that the top most valuable colors were vivid red and deep black. So that's that. Ramuwa may be dressed like pirate dracula with a musketeer hat (cavalier hat -historically fashionable and extra af), but that's not my fault. (but it is interesting to note that black and red has become the classic aesthetic of rich villains in media, I feel like this finally explains why)

-The names of Zubair's cousins, Hakim and Jasur, mean wisdom and bravery respectively.

-Zubair's vessel is based on Baghlah ships, while the Reckoning is based on Spanish Galleons. I know a little more about ships than I do about textiles, but this is another thing that I ended up spending weeks researching. Most of what I learned is that it's really hard to find info in english on Baghlah, and that Galleons are obscenely huge and faster than something that size should be

i know it wasnt the directors intention or whatever not just a disney censorship thing but i think if luca actually did end with even like a kiss on the cheek or something at that train scene it would have been my favorite pixar movie of all time. like its ALL THERE even if by complete accident this is a movie that speaks DIRECTLY to the experience of being a little gay boy rebelling and finding someone and experiencing something even close to "love" even if its not a proper relationship for the first time and i NEED that movie man i NEED IT
