Undertale Month Day 1: Fallen Down

I've been so busy, but I finally got the chance to finish this. I probably shouldn't put this much effort into the rest of the drawings this month though lol.

#really really happy with this one! especially the lighting! I couldn't figure out the pillars so they look ugly but I think the rest is good #I thought this would be a cool concept. I don't know if I executed it as well as I wanted but it's okay #utmonth2023 #safeutdr #undertale #my art #frisk #frisk dreemurr #frisk undertale #undertale month #ut month 2023 #chara #chara dreemurr

Crassus, Caelius, Cicero, Catiline, Conspiracy

boy howdy these four sure are something. not featured in this soup of C names, Caesar! what on earth happened here.

Plutarch, Crassus

Sallust on Crassus, Ronald Syme

Patron and Client, Father and Son in Cicero's "Pro Caelio"

Crassus' New Friends and Pompey's Return, Eve J. Parrish

Catullus and His World, T.P. Wiseman

Cicero's Catilinarians, D.H. Berry

#flash back to several years ago when I said I could never retain info on Catiline. Turns out the missing link was Crassus lmao #about halfway through drawing this i realized hbo rome era james purefoy would make a really good catiline #which is. not a good thought. bc when i start figuring out casts is when i start thinking thoughts like 'oh what if i did a comic'#conspiracy spotted. absolutely no survivors found here. good grief. we got whatever is going on with caelius. also some kind of divorce #but actually. hey cicero. HEY CICERO. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. FOR YOU ACTUALLY---#i remember kaine told me about the executions but i did not fully appreciate. exactly what any of it meant in context. i have context now!#i should've been drawing the man with fucked up wall shadows the entire time. my god.#drawing tag #roman republic tag #catiline #Lucius Sergius Catilina #have i never. tagged him by his full name here. i should draw him more #cicero #marcus tullius cicero #marcus licinius crassus #marcus caelius rufus

thinking abt an au where dazai convinces chuuya to ditch the pm and join the ada and he gives chuuya his trench coat bc "its tradition for new recruits to receive a piece of clothing from the person who brought them in"

also chuuya totally has to hem it and it STILL is nearly floor-length and he has to actually tie its belt and it goes off his shoulders (yk like that one official art that everyone loves you know the one)

dazai's like “chuuya you dont actually have to wear it if it really is too big we literally have a 21 cm height diff i understand”

but chuuya is so adamant on wearing it bc its the first sign he's gone into the light and it reminds him of detective murase and its a gift from dazai he can't just not wear the oversized trench coat

UPDATE: I drew it

#chuuya walks into the office on the first day and kunikida goes “dazai why is the missing mafia executive in our office WEARING YOUR COAT?”#and yosano is giving him this smug ass look like “oh they fucked” and ranpo starts a betting pool abt it #also chuuya has a red shirt like how dazai has a blue shirt bc they really do be the red/blue gays #i need to post the design one of these days bc im insane #also chuuya still keeps his hat bc he tried to give it back to verlaine but verlaine's all like no chuuya you should keep it #also he keeps his hat bc i couldnt take away chuuya being called mr fancy hat by ranpo #verlaine is so happy his little brother is living a good human life he even helps his escape #bsd #soukoku #bsd au #dazai drags chuuya into the ada au

behold: my least favorite string of words in the entirety of Tears of the Kingdom.

#totk critical #totk #tloz #gerudos #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war....#I just stumbled upon it again doing research yesterday and....#there's so many layers as to why it aggravates me #that it's spoken from the perspective of a masked woman as to embody all gerudos while removing her own identity #in the context of her loyalty to rauru as well #that giving birth to a bad man makes you responsible for his actions (he's not a toddler anymore he's an adult ok)#or more metaphorically that your initial conflict with hyrule makes you Sinful and cursed and you must Feel Bad Now *shame shame*#that she's passing on that ageless guilt with no expiration date onto the shoulders of *a teenager* and it's considered GOOD???#(wind waker shaking crying right now)#ALL OF THAT to prop her up to swear her loyalty to the people planning to go murder their ancient king (sure he's a Bad but still???)#using some sort of weird ass original sin scenario that is arguably not any gerudo's fault but Ganondorf's #(or if it is then it's not shown so ???)#the vibes are so so so off I just really !!!!! don't like #this is stuff like this that makes me reject that it's a good story about alliances being formed in good faith #because this is just manipulative #maybe the alliance angle everyone's stronger together was the intention but the execution is another story entirely #gerudos never benefited from ganondorf's actions also #so it's not even a case of making reparations for the way you benefit from systemic oppression due to your ancestor's actions #gerudos won literally nothing in ganondorf's war #apparently he even subjugated them if they weren't on his side (like.... a king would.... not to excuse it but the double standard here)#so it just instrumentalizes the ageless sin of motherhood + suffering under a bad monarch billion of years ago for war #so uhhh.... yeah that's not... that's pretty bad imo #the gerudo girl could have went “hey girl this man used us and still hurt us to this day let's kick his ass once and for all”#and this would have been a different story entirely #a little cheap but not.... That Bad

And with that, 2000 years of history and 10+ years of an animated adaption later, Attack on Titan is over.

I wasn't planning on making an essay post about this but like all of my essay posts, it got crazy out of hand, so here we are. I have a lot to say on it and the more I wrote, the more I realized exactly what the Attack on Titan finale was about. It's cathartic. It's also kind of a big shitpost but not for the reasons you might think.

Spoilers for the Attack on Titan finale ahead! CW: DISCUSSION OF WAR AND GENOCIDE AHEAD!

Now for anyone who knows what I'm about to talk about (and anyone who follows my stuff here), I'm sure you're wondering , what side do I fall on in regards to Attack on Titan's ending? Am I about to talk shit about it? It's very divisive and somewhat inconclusive. It followed the exact ending in the manga which, while expected, was still disappointing to many who had hoped the anime would take some other path.

But I have to ask, could there have been any other way?

Eren committed mass genocide, bordering on extinction of the entire human race. There was no way that he was gonna come out of it redeemed or as a hero, and he knew it. He went straight up Walter White core here and like Walter White, he is not a hero.

The fact that the Marlayans have been constantly going to war with other countries using Eldians as their personal soldiers goes to show that for countries that seek out conquest, there's no target too small or insignificant that can't be marked as an "enemy", and we see that reflected in Eren as well, in his pursuing of "freedom", an ever-moving goalpost that can never truly be satisfied.

The Jaegerists were hellbent on creating a new empire on the bloodshed of Marley - 'an eye for an eye', so to speak.

Nothing was ever going to truly satisfy either 'side' in the conflict of humanity vs. Eldians because such conflicts' origins have been obfuscated in hundreds of years of history, propaganda, and generational trauma that has repeated itself for so long that many don't even know what they're fighting for anymore, aside from one thing - that they don't want to suffer, that they shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of their ancestors, that they want peace and happiness but don't know where to start with taking the first step.

I think people are disappointed in this ending because, let's face it, it's anime, and it's an anime adaption that took years to finish. We always want to see some kind of vindication from stories like these, but I think in having vindication, it ultimately removes the point altogether of what's being said.

As much as we may try to fight it, try to deny it, the course of human history travels in a circle. Conflict will always arise. History is written by the victors, and those victors will be seen as heroes by whichever side they're fighting for regardless of what heinous acts they may have committed to justify their salvation. And after all of that conflict, regardless of the result - time goes on, and new conflicts arise.

But I don't think that means we have to succumb to grief and suffering and that's a point that I'm seeing missed in a lot of the discussion around the finale. There's a very powerful scene between Armin and Zeke, in which Armin talks about how he was born to run up the hill with Mikasa and Eren. He recognizes fully that if his life isn't meant to be long, he can still cherish those small moments that he thinks back on fondly, the moments that defined his life with the people he cared about.

And that's really all life is. Small moments and experiences that stick with us until the end. The very act of being born in and of itself is a cosmic miracle that gives us the chance to experience things that bring us joy and stay with us forever - however short or long that 'forever' may be. We take these small moments for granted when we're comfortable, but we look for them the most when we're suffering.

If I can relate all this to another piece of media that says the same thing - albeit with a much brighter ending - FF XIV: Endwalker also asks a similar question to Attack on Titan - is the only meaning in life to suffer and die? Of course, by its end, we learn that while death and suffering is an inevitable part of life - not something that should be avoided - it shouldn't persuade us to give in to fear and despair as a constant state of being. And I think Attack on Titan goes for a very similar approach, albeit slightly more as a cautionary tale - a nihilistic reminder that ultimately, the losses and victories we find in our current point of history are still just that, a single point, a blip that will be forgotten until it's ultimately repeated, and there's no escaping that.

It cautions us that freedom cannot exist without constant vigilance for war and conflict. It cautions us that our values and core beliefs for attaining freedom, love and happiness can be twisted into a weapon to cause harm, vindication gained at the cost of another. It cautions us that when left in the wrong hands, power can and will be abused by the ignorant while propagandizing itself as "the greater good".

So why not just find the joy that we can? The friendships, the little moments, the things that bring us happiness even if only temporary. Conflict is inevitable, suffering is inevitable, but that doesn't mean life isn't worth living. "Happiness" is not a tangible end point - it's the side effect of living a meaningful life that's true to yourself.

Attack on Titan is over. Some will argue the ending was the only way, others will argue that there could have been another way and that the anime adaption had the chance to change it but still didn't for reasons beyond their comprehension.

But isn't that the whole point? We'll argue. We'll bargain. Many of the arguments made will reinforce our own beliefs further rather than sway us. Many of us will insist there had to be another way, just as Armin insisted that this couldn't have been the only way, that humanity must have had another option. Meanwhile, many of us will acknowledge that at the end of the day, this is the story Isayama wanted to tell, and regardless of whether or not it makes him an idiot toying with his audience and admitting defeat by lampshading it in the penultimate scene of Eren admitting to his own idiocy, this was the power given to him and he used it in the best way he knew how.

Much like in any conflict, there's one thing that unites both sides - the human need for joy, connection, and freedom.

We might not agree on how Attack on Titan ended, but we can agree that it was a hell of a ride, and I hope we can all agree that it was worth riding, even if it wasn't satisfying for everyone in the end. It brought many people together regardless of their backgrounds, experiences, and differences, and connected them through something they all loved for over ten years. And despite how big a part of our lives it was, life will still go on, and we'll move on to other things to watch, enjoy, and argue over. Isayama will move on to whatever awaits him next, knowing fully well that his choice was his own, that he created the series he wanted to create regardless of how people feel about it. We'll all look for our own forms of joy and happiness as life moves on around us, as conflicts come and go.

Isn't that really what freedom is at the end of the day?

#also ok i know this turned into a philosophical post but like #i'm still just talking about fucking anime #so please for the love of god i don't want to be seeing anyone using this post as a way to play devil's advocate on real actual war crimes #human conflict in and of itself is an enigmatic inevitability but blatant actions of genocide and colonization are not #and that was made VERY clear by the end of the series through eldians and marlayans putting aside their differences to take out eren #also ymir being in love with king fritz was a bit of a weird thing to do but that's for another post #i think it spoke more to her just being that desperate for connection that she fell into an abusive relationship #but idk it could have been executed better esp because a lot of the 'romance' in AoT is weird #still i really enjoyed the finale tbh and i don't think we're supposed to be left feeling strictly one way about it #the fact that we're arguing over whether or not the finale was good is literally just proving isayama right ngl LOL #attack on titan #attack on titan finale #attack on titan spoilers #shingeki no kyojin #shingeki no kyojin finale #shingeki no kyojin spoilers #essay post #long post #tw genocide #tw war

Sometimes I think people forget that cc!BBH can't breathe on a Minecraft Server without being some kind of character with fucked up morals.

Even PostEggpire!BBH was a bastard who immediatly went on to tourment Foolish (the guy he literally killed a few days before) and constantly avoided taking responsibility for the Eggpire situation (he blamed others and constantly downplayed what happened). He literally tourmented c!Tommy for extremely petty reasons (obsidian-ing his base) and let a terrorist out because he "felt bad for him" which he never admitted to.

And this is THE MOST sympathetic version of one of BBH's characters (Badlands!BBH, Eggpire!BBH and Q!BBH speak for themselves)

#qsmp #q!bbh #c!bbh #c!badboyhalo #q!badboyhalo #cc!bbh #dsmp #again i do have slightly mixed feelings on how c!bbh was executed but thats like neither here or there #and its clear it was cc!bbh's first ever character along with it not being a really good environnement to let his character grow #what i want to say though is that people act as though cc!bbh's characters being fucked up is like #surprising or something but like #this is THE NORM for him #he loves playing fucked up little guys and being scary #and manipulative and just a little slimey bastard #bbh #badboyhalo

Forever thinking of that one post or sth where someone went like "Sasuke is such a bad character he wanted to destroy Konoha even tho that's the opposite of what Itachi wanted" like??? Whyyyy would Sasuke do what Itachi wants?

Like yeah Sasuke loves him, but you can love someone and utterly disagree with their motives. You can love and hate someone at the same time. You can love someone and still want to destroy everything they fought for.

Sasuke might love Itachi, and Itachi might have loved him in his own twisted way, but in the end Itachi still killed hundreds of people. He still took away Sasuke's entire world. He massacred his family for wanting something more out of life other than being constantly discriminated against. Itachi still chose to psychologically torture Sasuke, forcing him to watch Itachi slaughter the Uchiha for three days straight. Itachi still manipulated Sasuke into killing him.

And Itachi did it all in the name of a village. He was a thirteen year old boy. Think about it. Itachi was a seventh or eighth grader. He was indoctrinated, made into nothing but a tool by the village. And the village took his sacrifice and gave him nothing in return. The village moved on from the Uchiha massacre like nothing ever happened.

None of the hidden villages are good. They're literally all mercenaries, killers for hire who don't care who they kill. But Konoha is extra disgusting in how duplicitous it is. How it pretends that it's the nice village. How it pretends to be good, with all that 'Will of Fire' bullshit.

The scene where the Sandaime propaganda'd to a bunch of academy students before the third round of the chunin exams comes to mind. He claimed that every single person in the village was his precious person.

I couldn't help but feel outraged at that, disbelieving that he would actually say such an obvious lie. I guess the entirety of the Uchiha were just an exception! I guess the people he lets Danzo kidnap and indoctrinate, the shinobi he sends on suicide missions, the shinobi that are traumatised by their service, the entirety of thr Hyuuga side branch, they're all just exceptions! Those don't count!

If I can feel that much disdain and disgust, I can't imagine how much Sasuke feels.

Like, I want to destroy Konoha and I'm just reading a fictional work.

Konoha is the village that twisted Sasuke's brother. That took his childhood, his innocence and his happiness. That made him kill Sasuke's entire clan. That still kept its claws in him even years after the fact. Why wouldn't Sasuke want to destroy it?

#naruto #atanx.txt #Fics where sasuke is 'redeemed' bother me so much because sasuke didnt even really do anything #and sasuke is 100% justified in his desire to raze konoha to the ground because konoha is poison #its rotted to the core and it can only really be fixed by burning it all down #well that or demilitarisation #i read a really good time travel fix it fic where the uchiha stay alive and then tsunade executes the sandaime and demilitarises #Its called 'bones of my bones (flesh of my flesh)' i really liked it #uchiha sasuke #uchiha itachi #anti konoha #konoha critical

jevin!!!!!!!!!! didn't have access to a scanner so this is my first (and hopefully last) sketchbook picture of the challenge... you can see the scale i'm actually working on here (i have small hands so my sketchbook looks bigger than it is) tbh i do not like how this came out but it was fun and i might recreate it digitally once the challenge is over

#i have lots of ideas on how i could improve this drawing if i were to redo it... i couldn't do that within the time constraints But #it's always good to recognise what i don't like about a drawing and be able to think of ways i could improve next time #also i rly like the pen colours i chose even tho my vision didn't rly come across #i enjoyed the process and i like the idea i had even if i don't love the execution and that's what matters really #i think the mushroom forest idea is so fun n it's something i've played with before and will def try again in the future #i rly like the way jev looks in this drawing n it's actually the bg i don't love which is the opposite of what normally happens!!#i am primarily a bg artists so.. learning to merge the two is something i am keen to have a go at #hermit a day may #hermitaday #horsemeatluvr does hermitaday #ijevin fanart #ijevin #jevin #hermitcraft #horsemeat gallery #traditional art

they’re so cute. choso and yuuji’s brotherly bond is everything to me

#how does it feel to have my top 3 fav characters shine in the past few chapters? excellent #jjk spoilers #jjk 258 #choso #itadori yuuji #their sibling relationship is so interesting and good.#idk if it’s because I’ve been too busy to really delve into the chapters the past couple months #but i actually had a blast casually reading these #i feel like I’m starting to get an idea of where it’s heading and feeling much more positive about it than before #like some of the ways we got to this point was. badly executed. not good.#but for what we have now—it’s at a great point and im excited for the next chapters #i am very biased as a maki yuuji and Choso fan though :)#if only kenjaku was still around I’d be even MORE excited #id in alt

The downside of Dune getting so popular is that we now have an influx of Chani x Paul shippers who act like Irulan is the antichrist for doing one bad thing but defend Paul despite everything he did in Dune Messiah. It’s Daemyras vs Alicent stans all over again

#Dune #Irulan #Idc it’s misogynistic to hate a female character for doing something bad but loving a male character for doing something even worse #Especially because Irulan was forced to marry Paul and was completely ignored by him for 12 years while he killed billions of people #And apparently it’s romantic that Paul threatened to execute Irulan even though the scene was meant to show us how awful Paul had become #like I’m really not looking forward to all of these new Irulan-antis #And book Chani and Paul isn’t even a good ship unlike DV’s adaptation.

the question of ruby’s character development prior to v9 really is interesting though—because there has undoubtedly been a marked shift in how the narrative is handling her now, versus the last eight volumes, even if the people who read it as a shift from static -> dynamic are mostly numpties. ruby’s character development throughout v1-8 is predominantly negative, in the specific sense that beneath the deceptively steady surface of her relentless optimism she has been sinking continually deeper into this mindset and ideal of noble, dutifully self-sacrificial heroism laid out by ozpin and reinforced by the huntsman system generally; she has learned and grown and changed from the person she used to be, nearly all of it in ways that were and are profoundly harmful to her own well-being, and in the current arc of the story she discovers this reality and is being made to face it. and the immensely self-destructive nature of her prior character development was largely obscured by her outward resilience, because rwby is the rare story that understands what extreme emotional repression can really look like.

in essence the narrative has given its protagonist eight volumes worth of character development that she needs to now unlearn because it’s killing her. and within the context of the story itself this is not a surprise (or it shouldn’t be) because it became inevitable the minute ozpin told ruby that good leadership requires her to never ever be anything less than perfect again and ruby took that as inspiration and a source of strength, and we’ve been watching her actively (if gradually) spiral since volume six—but it’s a surprise to the characters and it’s also a wild thing to do with a protagonist in a genre where the convention for protagonists is fairly linear development from struggling underdog to capable hero with, at best, a few temporary crises of self-doubt along the way—certainly nothing on the level of emotional harm ruby has suffered in the course of trying to have the conventional fantasy hero character arc.

#god i really am having so much fun.#the payoff and execution of everything #set up in the last eight volumes #wrt the huntsmen and ozma’s ideological model #is already SO good and it’s just getting started #genre is made to be bent! broken even!
