#the hunger games#finnick odair#thg#the hunger games fanart#this was a very very weird painting for me.#like i have painted decapitated heads and severed arms and shattered ribs and guts falling out and gallons of blood#and not once have i ever looked up from my work and been disgusted or disturbed by what i’ve painted#but the first day i was working on this one i looked at it and just felt so sick i had to get up and take a shower to get away from it#HE WAS 14 WTF WTF WTF WTF#that is a baby. that is a little kid. turned into a killer and paraded around like a novelty and used like a toy.#but on the whole i am very satisfied with this propaganda piece it's just as beautiful and unsettling as i wanted it to be#ugh my mind. nothing in the composition is overt but all the implications are there#not just the capitol's sexualization and brutalization of children but the fetishization of the districts' labor as well#as my good friend and mutual theworldiswhispering said.#'the hard labor you do is not safe from being romanticized by the people who benefit from it at your expense'#and i think about that every day#wherefore art thou#thg reread#why he so smooth.. just like a shark#[katniss voice] mfs took all my body hair cant have shit in the capitol#i just know tumblr's gonna crunch the quality of these images but i worked on a canvas 4 times larger than the usual size#so a lot of the detail gets lost when i post it. oh well. click for quality i guess#his expression changes when you're far away#far away he looks kind of vacant#close up he's smiling. like the photographer wanted a specific cocky emotion from him and it was there#but when you zoom out there's just a thousand yard stare#i did think about turning these into prints or actual posters but um. i don't think i should do that

"I spent so many nights in that shitty prison. On the freezing floor, hungry, bloody, counting the hours. The only thing... The only thing that kept me going was the thought of getting back to you."

Wall I made for this (featuring: Russian, Spanish, toki pona, DNA code, women's script, a few alphabets, some geometry and arithmetic, and a language that I invented, among other things. I had fun with this)

lizzie get two wolves 👍
#strato.txt#oil painting#wip#im worried ive unbalanced the composition w the second one on the right tho... its so much closer to the edge#ugh whatever. aunt lizzie is the focus here#i wish i knew what she actually looked like this is just cobbled together from general features of my family#solid build... dark curly hair... bigass ears. she could be one of my cousins. she could be me#ok rq im gonna lay out the story in the tags for anyone who hasnt seen the previous lizzie art#my great-something aunt lizzie was disabled and couldnt walk very well and she died young#she wanted to see the second floor of the farm house real bad but no one ever carried her up there and she died before seeing it#they buried her in a long white dress somewhere down at the creek. we dont know where her graves lost unfortunately#the night she was buried something wearing a white dress walked into the house and up the stairs and disappeared#and sometimes you can hear her down around the creek screaming#somewhere along the line wolves got mixed into the imagery for me#my uncle told me a story about another 'white thing' that was wolfish and would jump on cars#so i just assumed lizzie was a werewolf my whole life#anyways. i think her staying after she died was a manifestation of her desire for autonomy. maybe#maybe if shed had modern accommodations she wouldnt have felt the need to stick around. or maybe she would have idk#either way i think death afforded her control over her own desires in a way she hadnt experienced before#and i think thats why she still hangs around the creek#i hope she would like this. maybe ill take it down there and leave it out for a night when its finished so she can see

"Confession: I didn't write Kraven's Last Hunt. Well not in the way you think."
Tumblr media
"Writer's like to believe they're in control of their material, but that's just a comforting lie."
Tumblr media
"If it had been up to me—and thank goodness it wasn't—the original idea would have seen print as, of all things, a Wonder-Man mini series: Simon Williams—defeated in battle by his brother, the Grim Reaper—awakens in a coffin, claws his way out and discovers he's been buried alive for months."
Tumblr media
"But there was something in that 'return from the grave' concept that wouldn't let go."
Tumblr media
"So now I've had this idea rejected three times, by three of the best editors in the business. Maybe I thought. I'm delusional, Maybe I should just give up and move on.
Tumblr media
"But the Story wouldn't let me."
Tumblr media
"It knew, even if I clearly didn't, that it would soon find the form, and, most important, the characters, it had been seeking all along."
Tumblr media
"More important: I discovered, as I worked away on the proposal, that Spider-Man—recently married to Mary Jane—was a far better choice than Wonder Man or Batman."
Tumblr media
"Peter Parker is perhaps the most emotionally and psychologically authentic protagonist in any super-hero universe."
Tumblr media
"Underneath that mask, he's as confused, flawed, as touchingly human as the people who read—and write—about him: the quintessential Everyman."
Tumblr media
And that Everyman's love for his new wife, for the new life they were building together, was the emotional fuel that ignited the story."
Tumblr media
"It was Mary Jane's presence, her heart and soul, that reached down into the depths of Peter's heart and soul, forcing him up out of that coffin, out of the grave, into the light."
Tumblr media
"And that's how Kraven's Last Hunt was born."
Tumblr media
"Well, not really."
Tumblr media
"Please understand that I had no interest whatsoever in Kraven. In fact, I always thought he was one of the most generic, uninteresting villains in the Spider-Man gallery."
Tumblr media
"But buried in this Marvel Universe entry was one intriguing fact: Kraven—was Russian."
Tumblr media
"Why should that excite me so? One word: Dostoevsky. When I read Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov in high school, they seeped in through my brain, wormed their way down into my nervous system... and ripped me to shreds."
Tumblr media
"No other novelist has ever explored the staggering duality of existence, illuminated the mystical heights and the despicable depths of the human heart, with the brilliance of Dostoevsky."
Tumblr media
"The Russian soul, as exposed in his novels, was really the Universal Soul. It was my soul."
Tumblr media
"And Kraven was Russian. In an instant, I understood Sergei Kravinov. In an instant, the entire story changed focus."
Tumblr media
"And now the story was complete, right? Almost."
Tumblr media
"Because Zeck was on board, I decided to toss a Captain America villain we created together—the man-rat called Vermin—into the mix. A casual decision (well it seemed casual to me; but I suspect the Story knew otherwise) that proved extremely important:"
Tumblr media
"Vermin turned out to be the pivotal element, providing Peter Parker's vision of Spider-Man and Kraven's distorted mirror image."
Tumblr media
"In the years that had passed from the time I pitched the original Wonder Man idea, my personal life has gone to hell in the proverbial handbasket."
Tumblr media
"I felt as buried alive as Peter Parker; as much a dweller in the depths as Vermin; as lost, as desperate, as shattered as Sergei Kravinov."
Tumblr media
"My own personal struggles, mirrored in the struggles of our three main characters, were, I think, what gave the writing such urgency and emotional honesty."
Tumblr media
So tell me: Who, exactly, is in charge here? Who really wrote the story you're about to read? I thought it was me—but all along, there was something growing, evolving, emerging in its own time, when the creative conditions were absolutely perfect."
Tumblr media
"Stories have lives of their own. And I wouldn't have it any other way."

#ok. this is the fucking bullshit thing abt grad school. u go to fucking grad school bc u r a fucking tryhard nerd freak#who is either naturally very smart or ur so fucking anxious u r incapable of allowing urself to get a bad grad#and then u go to fucking grad school and everyone's like: man fuck ur classes. if youre getting streight As then u aren't focusing on ur#research. and theyre right. but u still cant fucking let go of the idea that if u get a bad grad the world is gonna fucking end and u r a#bad person. u didnt try hard enough. all this to say i have a final project that i put way too much energy into and not even in a good way#i would just open the document. start sobbing. and then close it and spiral abt how i didn't want to work on it. so its bullshit#i mean. its a good project idea ans i probably sound like i kno wtf im talking abt bc i do. i worked on that topic for 4 years but like#i could make it wayyyyy better. its bullshit. i didnt even number the citations to give more page space. i made section headers. i didnt#wrap text. i could add like 4 more lines of text if i wanted but i think im not gotta bc fuck it. ugh. i dont even. i fucking avoide#stochastic stuff altogether which i kno im gonna have to fight abt but like fuck it who cares abt randomness. i just wanna focus on the#predictably aspect of community composition. fuck u. i shouldnt have picked this topic. i mean. i had to bc its like the one microbe thing#i could do but its also like the exact topic that makes me wanna rip my hair out and start screaming. like jesus christ who tf cares? ugh.#i think id give myself a B if it was an undergrad class. but the standard is higher in an all grad class. ugh. i hate this. i should just#send it abd be done. i dont even kno when its due tomorrow. before class i guess. idk i felt like garbage today. fucking vertigo bby. i feel#ok now tho. so maybe the allergic reacting is over???? fingers r still arthritisy tho. jesus. im falling apart#ive got a pretty good sounding excuse for being lazy tho: owo i had an allergic reaction to my antidepressants 🥳 but nah no excuses we run#this body into the ground. like the good old days.#unrelated

Girl help. I'm in that 'I wanna write a fic' mood despite the fact that i haven't the faintest idea on how to write anything besides a poorly writen and researched essay with a thesis that isn't a thesis cuz i still dont understand what a thesis is exactly.
