That's just hilarious Jorge has now completed the transition to Odysseus himself. First with the chaos in getting to Ithaca. Then the storm. Now the internet cables being eaten by Scylla or sm. Like imagine if the gods saw the epic cast in Ithaca and decided it would be funny to recreate the odyssey.
.... anyways see you guys in 10 years at the livestream!
LETS GO!! FIRST ONE TO RIZZ UP SLOANSLONE UNINTENTIONALLY (according to the tags at least)
i will never stop loving your art and mumbling "sloanslone" to myself in glee whenever i see you on my feed :3
OH MY GOD IM NIT BLUSHING I SWEAR-
the reasons why i fell in love with the both of them lmao-
[Seeing more people talk about this comparison between Fyodor and William again, had some of this in the drafts for a bit already lmao].
So I often see many people say that BSD Fyodor and MTP William have a similar vibe, and people have recently also been posting about their dislike of the idea too.
However I think Fyodor is more similar to that of the Lord of Crime persona the public see and not William himself. The Lord of Crime operates in a way where he is perceived to murder ruthlessly and have dubious morals - at first he is seen as a hero to the working class, but as he does more that disadvantages them he is seen as a threat to the whole empire (which he uses to unite the social classes). In essence, like Fyodor, the Lord of Crime is portrayed without a shred of kindness or sincerity or guilt - but that is not William.
William in the canon by his friends and family is known for his kindness and his empathy, so much so that he feels immense guilt over his horrific actions as the Lord of Crime which eventually pushed him to taking his own life to escape it. He is not devoid of empathy - in fact he is incredibly empathetic, almost too empathetic for himself to handle. And this is what solidifies the differences between Fyodor and William to me.
Fyodor has shown very little empathy for others in his history, more likely to simply use others to get what he wants and seemingly doesn't care about the effect it may have on that other person. Nikolai for example, even after being given understanding by Fyodor, was supposed to die after the events of Bloody Sunday, Fyodor using him as a disposable pawn in order to frame the agency. Sigma was given a home, a casino to run, but Fyodor was ready to get rid of him after it was investigated. Fukuchi, given a way to try and achieve his lifelong goal of world peace, was used as a pawn in creating the series of events where Fyodor could take over Bram (another pawn in his game considering he literally took his body from him after he just got it back) and now Fukuchi's consciousness is replaced by a Divine Being that Fyodor has control over. Fyodor is only empathetic when it can benefit him, and the benefits his faux empathy gives to those around him is eventually swept out from under them and manipulated to his advantage. He only improves other's lives just to take it away again.
Whilst William and Fyodor both do what they think benefits the world, William is shown to have genuine empathy for the common man - he often finds ways to help people like the children in Baskerville or other disadvantaged people. Whilst the Lord of Crime's support for equality may have been swept out from under the common people after the murder of Whiteley, William's support for the common people never changed. William always wanted to create permanent changes to benefit the lives of the people disadvantaged by the class system.
It is the public perception of the Lord of Crime, as this ruthless figure who wants to destroy the livelihoods of everyone in London, that is similar to the Fyodor we see.
[At first this was going to be a 'Lord of Crime is like Fyodor, William is more like Dazai' post but I wasn't sure about the Dazai idea or how to explain it so I just decided to stick with the Fyodor portion, how it at least makes a little sense.]
I LOVE BEING A COG IN THE CORPERATE MACHINE! I HOPE THEY BURY ME IN THE ELEVEN HERBS AND SPICES! SOMEONE KENTUCKY FRIED FUCKING KILL ME!

I decided to share this around Tumblr, as well

image id: a tweet by nick @/nickybravoart on may third. it says, "i'm so fucking mad. this is my classmate Hunter's portfolio who's a trans man. his artwork and statement on gender transition was taken down from my private schools senior showcase for "unspecified reasons". please share this, give him the attention my bigoted school denied." attached is a portfolio with four sequential images with similar lighting and background. the background is composed of two vertical stripes: the left is white and the right is sky blue. the skin tone of the person in all four images is a near-white pale. in image one, the person has long hair, red lipstick, and a sleeveless dress that is white with small red shapes that are either triangles or hearts. they are looking straight into the camera while holding scissors to a section of their hair. in image two, they are holding the cut off hair and looking at it in a way that makes their eyes hard to see. they look pensive. they are no longer wearing the dress. in image three, they are holding the back of their hair, looking out. there is bandage-like binding on their chest. in image four, they again have red lipstick, but this time it is smudged. the camera is zoomed out further so you can see that along with similar bandage binding, they are wearing black boxers. they are holding the top of their head and looking straight into the camera. end id.
note: while it is safe to assume hunter is portraying himself in this set, it is still possible it is a piece on transmasculinity as a whole, so i opted to use they/them. i searched for "hunter gender photography" but could not find this piece, so if anyone does have a link to any of his socials for credit let me know.

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive
A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Mohammed Alanqer, married to Enas Majed, and we have four wonderful children.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, am a father of four children and a husband to a woman who was two months pregnant when the war began.
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
I lost our sole source of livelihood when my tech startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed in the war. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, have been deprived of education after their schools were destroyed, severely threatening their future. Amidst these harsh circumstances, my wife gave birth to our fourth child, Amir, in the midst of the war, adding to our state of despair and hopelessness.
My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to the destruction of hospitals in our area. I have lost my job and source of income, leaving me unable to provide for my family's needs and safety. Our home was destroyed by the war, forcing us to flee repeatedly and rendering us homeless.
We now face extreme difficulty in providing a safe place to live, clean clothes, and food for our children. Additionally, our children have contracted diseases like measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.
Our only hope now is to escape this ongoing nightmare and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires exorbitant financial costs; the coordination fees for crossing the borders amount to $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, a sum I cannot afford alone.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.
