What would you do if u saw this?

It's a bit sloppy, but I have been in an artblock. This is me breaking free

I finished disco elysium recently 👍

People really need to realise that “media can affect real life” doesn’t mean “this character does bad things so people will read that and start doing bad things” and actually means “ideas in fiction especially stereotypes about minority groups can affect how the reader views those groups, an authors implicit prejudices can be passed on to readers”

When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 

When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

draw it bad and draw it weird and draw it catered only to yourself and draw it wobbly and draw it too small and draw it with the default brush and draw it without using references and draw it and leave it unfinished and draw it for the first time and draw it

Open the Door still lives in my head rent free. as does this specific exchange

Putting on a podcast while you cook is all fun and games until you're sobbing into the spaghetti sauce.

Falin ur so so so silly,

Okay but can we talk about the innate North Starness of ghost coded characters? The presence of an absence that begs to be filled. To even be ghosts at all someone else has to keep getting caught up in their memory, often following the “north” they leave behind, a fixed direction born of narrative death and reconstruction. Of how that character and their impact on the story is understood, what their leaving motivates others to do in their wake. When the memory of a character and their actions becomes this involuntary guiding light, pulling others down a path of revenge, redemption, heroism, living up to impossible standards, etc. They don’t even actually need to be dead either. Ghosts that don’t want to be followed. Ghosts that fought for the exact opposite of what their followers pursue. Ghosts that may be able to be saved. Ghosts that need to be let go. Ghosts afforded freedom by their disappearance. Ghosts that condemn their peers for coming along with them, even if it means being alone. To become direction amid uncertainty by haunting the narrative, whatever they originally wanted.

Anyways.

Love how SPG managed to totally un-fridge a character. Like, Delilah Moreau’s original death was a massive case of fridging, and then “The Ballad of Delilah Morreo” comes out and is like “nah actually the other guy brought her back but she killed him immediately, was a vampire for a bit, then she turned herself into a wraith and now she’s the most feared being in the underworld with a cool werewolf wife”.

God, I love SPG’s underworld lore, it’s so batshit wild in the best way.

Delilah Morreo and her sick as hell unnamed werewolf wife because they’re the coolest ever fr

RIP to the quality tho 💀

So like *twirls hair around my finger* there’s this old book series…

Still on my re-read and I cannot describe how unhinged the end of book 4 made me so naturally I drew scenes instead. Just picture me gesturing wildly and gasping and you’ve got it.

Keep reading
