taski maiden and why she's my favourite
ever since dream bbq got announced a few years ago, I've always been drawn to taski maiden - not only because she's silly, but also because her design is deeply fascinating to me, as it's rich in history. I haven't seen any posts discussing it yet, so I thought I'd make one!
the thing about taski maiden is that her design is very rooted in mesoamerican art. her appearance is heavily based on the textiles made by the chimú, who inhabited the coasts of what is now perú and were one of the most prolific empires of pre-columbus america - check these out!
if you look at the second image specifically - which shows chimú warriors - you can see how closely the top left figure matches taski!
in fact, all of her forms share the same colour scheme present in most chimú textiles: red, yellow, white, and black.
the little guys she's carrying are based on it, too! their face is a perfect match to the creatures the warriors are holding.
speaking of the little guys, the cloth taski is carrying them in is actually an aguayo! its a rectangular cloth used by various south american cultures to carry items and small children in.
final fun fact: taski is a quechua word that roughly translates to young woman or virgin.
and that's about it! as a south american person myself, I just think it's amazing to get a design that draws from our historical art and culture. just makes me love this series even more :]

@eeriedragone and I started playing around with the concept of an escape AU lmfao
This was prompted by the passage in the book where Lomeli/Lawrence thinks about how whoever would become Pope would never be able to do normal things again. So what if Lawrence just grabbed Benitez and would make a run for it ;)))
(Let‘s ignore the fact that Lawrence‘s knees probably wouldn’t withstand the concept of running)
wtf……..is this allowed?

I love it when Conclave said oh so the church is able to break with tradition when it comes to iphones, vapes, rolling suitcases, and steel-fortified window coverings, but not when it comes to feminism, pluralism, and the nuances of sex and gender. How interesting. Anyway, here is a remarkably sad old man.
Habemus Gamum! We are blown away by the response to the Conclave VN. Thank you all so much for 1k+ downloads of Delectatio Morosa on its first day 💛
funnily enough, the forest scene in detour is better lit than some of the scenes set in a room with lamps AND daylight, but i wanted to lighten it up anyway.
you can always discover new details, after all!

Mulder “joking” that he wished he had a peg leg as a kid so people could see that there was something wrong with him and wouldn’t expect him to function properly is so rich in character for a throw away line.
