just a bunch of lazy stuff i made this month while conquering the limbus plot (i'm sorry for having the worst taste in ships ever) also too lazy to translate some of them

Tethered like so. Now if you fall, i fall.

I actually forgot abt my tumblr acc, so have some sketches i made around canto V

Let us be free

how are we doing queemael nation.

I also think it's hilarious that this batch of three chapters deal with some kind of tragic love but Ishmael's wlw swag makes it so she's the only one who actually got it in the bag

Like Heathcliff's whole thing is that Cathy did not accept to marry him due to being seen as lowly and breaking his heart so bad it sent him down this path and Yi Sang and Dongbaek get all of these romantic-coded scenes and symbolism to the point you could interpret Dongbaek's final words both in the dungeon and after her boss as a dying love confession (specially since red camellias in korean flower language mean "I love you more than anyone else") but nothing implies they ever actually became a thing and the story doesn't ellaborate on that overtly instead focusing on the League as a whole and the concept of trust

And over here Ishmael has all of these beautiful moments with Queequeg to the point they were planning a future together and basically just a a few steps away from getting gay married and losing Queequeg the biggest reason she hates Ahab so much. It's the redhead who's got game if it wasn't for The Whale

canto V part 3 spoilers, discussing queequeg's adaptation into the setting and story

a little bit torn because first and foremost, i love queequeg as a character here. she is wonderful. her relationship with ishmael is delightfully romantic. i love the ways their affection was translated even if under different circumstances. queequeg holding onto her sanity by thinking of ishmael and the sunset her hair color reminds her of. so delightfully sentimental and dedicated.

and the manifestation of source!queequeg's sense of nobility and self-sacrifice for the good of those he loves and cares about all else in a world he otherwise hates? for the most part, compelling. her emotions are raw and sympathetic. ishmael responds to them well and proves herself to be sensitive, kind, and just as loving to queequeg as queequeg is to her.

however... while i don't claim to speak for indigenous polynesians, i will say i think it is clumsy at best to translate source!queequeg's tribe, whom he loves and misses, to an organization limbus!queequeg loathes and resents. particularly with her tattoos being inverted into a symbol of oppression that she cuts herself to be rid of, rather than what should be a point of pride. not even to mention her manner of speech, in order to resemble book!queequeg's speech patterns, came from self-inflicted wounds and surgeries that imply brain damage... instead of a simple language barrier.

this is unfortunately exactly what i expected when queequeg was revealed to have been in the middle and the middle was shown as having tattoos. which... the fact that these two tatted up people that share a background with an indigenous Polynesian being a frenchman and a spaniard? quite the move.

the issue with having an "aracial" setting like project moon's is that we get these awkward moments whenever you apply virtually any plotline that bears resemblance to events, people, etc. in real life. as a result, for moby dick and canto V in particular, much of the nuance of the way the book is partially about race has been lost.

queequeg is not the only unfortunate victim of design choice; pip, who in the book is a black kid, has the wrong hair texture in limbus.

so while i love queequeg as a character, in execution she leaves quite a bit to be desired and i think it would be wise for all fans to engage with her depiction at least somewhat critically.

save me doomed yuri
