Saw an icky post!!! Reminder that fictional characters are fictional, you can do whatever you like with them. They're not real. They don't exist. They are Concepts and you can do whatever the fuck you want in the privacy of your own home/blog. You don't owe anyone an explanation for what you engage with, you don't owe strangers on the internet your trauma. So long as you're tagging appropriately you're doing everything right.

I might not like your ships. I might not agree with them. I might even think they're problematic! But I don't think you're a bad person for enjoying media I don't enjoy. This blog is a safe space for people who like stuff I don't like.

always enjoyed the Chess Set In The Foreground perspective framing used here

now also noting like, huh, a chess set in a general store just visited by marigold competitors who killed one of their guys and are now on the way back from their rendezvous point w/suppliers

Why'd you stand there laughing, holding your microscope? If you can't see the problem, then I guess there's nowhere to go

REVISITED NIGHTMARES\\ #1

Revisited Nightmares Chapter 1 part 1

next

WOOO..okay..these took.. A WHILE… welcome to the 1st pages of revisited nightmares!! for now i do not have a publishing schedule so just look out for them until i do!

thinking abt the happy pills arc again but mostly importantly at how many references of brazilian history was there during forevers lives specially the music... like the clothes ccforever was using the video of rio in the 50s the references to vargas era and bossa nova. i saw an artist making an animatic of him using "construção" by chico buarque which is one of my fav songs from the anti ditactorship era along with "panis et circenses" and my brain got rewired as well. gosh it was soooooo so good and so well done you can even make a video essay about it ccforever rlly poped off with that i never felt so hyped with an arc bc im an history nerd AND seeing brazilian history implemented on a multilingual server was just *chefs kiss*

CAIUS TREBONIUS AND MARK ANTONY, MARCH 15th

The Hetairia of Cassius, Luciano Canfora

Cic. Phil. 2

(taps mic) so as we all know, conspiracy is a kind of seduction, and actions not taken can be just as loud as the ones that are. so. uh. fellas! hey fellas. heyyyyyy.

like, I was looking at the Dolabella-Caesar-Antony mess yesterday, but something really fun and vicious happened here and I will be rotating it around in my head at maximum volume for the foreseeable future

the red panels are the Assassination of Julius Caesar by Vincenzo Camuccini (the pen and ink drawing, not the painting)

Naruhodo Legal Consultancy

(Wouldn’t it be fun if susato kept taking cases as naruhodo ryutaro post canon? As a defense lawyer employed by the naruhodo legal consultancy?)

Sun and moon au but now they're royalty :)

Colored version to be posted next time <3

you ignore my asks which means i know you think it’s true

bro I have a LIFE outside of TUMBLR I’m not gonna bother discoursing w ppl like you on a dying blogging platform. I’m here to post what I want then just leave it’s not that deep 😭😭

just went back to an older story of mine (cough. i say older but its like from december) and changed the story up a bit tell me why it got even more insane

drew some more ice, i think i’ve done all her designs by this point? i’m not sure

Different yet somehow the same

rest assured that even when I'm not thinking about him I am still thinking about him

Like OK so I've been reading a fic with trans wolfwood in it that is so. HONEST. About how it affected him and still affects him. In a way that's very much not an average cis writer portrayal of a trans character.

Like. Either this writer is trans or did plenty of research, but it just feels REAL to me. And it has me thinking about my own way of writing trans Wolfwood.

I'm not there yet. But I've been thinking about it. The ways that what the EOM did fucked him up... but it also acted as HRT that affirmed his gender. So what do you do when you're in a body you don't recognize, but looks much more like a man than ever before? There's some gender euphoria in a way, but dysphoria at the same time bc you didn't grow into this. You didn't watch yourself transition. Suddenly you just Were this, and it's not you, but also it's nice to finally be seen as a man, but it also feels wrong to feel grateful for any part of what they did to you...

On and on and on

You see? This is what I want to think about with him. This is why trans Wolfwood is so compelling to me. It's just so Complicated, he'd have such Complicated feelings about his body and the way he lives with it. He learns this new body, it starts to feel more like his, but he also mourns the fact that he didn't get to watch it grow into this like he should've.

That kind of thing.

As someone who was part of the 2020 zukka renaissance, it’s so bizarre to see atla get popular again and witness all the kataang vs zutara discourse i completely missed out on the first time around
