A tour of my former school and life

A long time ago when I was a different person, when I was a person at all I went to a deeply catholic school, tucked away in the arm of a dying river.

Along the winding central road where I once nearly gt run over by a car lacking in common sense or turn signals, where I almost wanted to be. Past the de-mountable where I took drama lessons, passing the time escaped from class listening to the cooling iron of the roof and thinking about how they told me I would burn. By that time I had built up a fear of socializing, I think now, that back then it protected more than it harmed, now it just pushes me away from those I could one day love.

On we walk to our destination our legs pumping under our overestimated weight, sweat beginning to form on our brows in the summer heat, summer is a dry death, burning like the hell they told us we were destined for, the halos of the saints who watch over us, guiding in one single path, no room for divergence, no room for happiness. But in the winter as pleasant as the escape from the warmth is, the cold strikes something undiagnosed in my bones, there is always pain but now they are stiffer they do not bend like they used to, even at this tender age I missed my youth, gone and disintegrated, forever out of reach, winter too brings time, the ability to be alone with my own thoughts and that, then at least was tantamount to torture. I joined the cricket team, hated sport but it got me away from my mind for four hours on Sundays that was something, anything.

Here we arrive at the shrine, hedge rows on either side, path extending down one way to the music rooms and tuck shop, yet more escape branching off even further down to the twin halves of the library that truly saved me from myself. Scuffed leather dress shoes scraping on concrete as we get closer, there is a darkness here, I am the only one that hangs around. It is a grotto, to a boy that once spend his aching time here, now dead he has become their martyr, it makes me sick bile rising to the back of my throat, the way they can turn their own murder into a victory, but another feeling begins to rise, that dead boy at least he gets peace, at least he had the courage, he can't care about the heresies they have committed against him for he is gone, the sickness returns, how can I envy a dead boy, how can I want so badly to lay cocooned in the earth beside him, I don't yet know back then how men can love each other, How I can love them, how I might not even be a man, barely even human.

End Of Part One

[catmask]

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

Bisan is calling for another global strike!

I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.

What a global strike would look like is:

calling in sick to work

purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can

putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!

For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!

♢♢♢

Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.

Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!

Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.

You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).

--

CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.

They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.

Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!

How does Ford react to Fidds taking Stan with him on a creature hunt? A sea based hunt at that.

He gets a lil jealous

Probably one of the best things for me in that episode was the final card pull. Cause anyone who knows anything about tarot probably knows the death card does not actually represent death literally. It represents something coming to the end, yes, but it also represents new beginnings and moving forward. It is overall a positive card to draw upright, representing growth, transformation, and change, rather than stagnation.

And so, they don't show us Lilia's death.

Instead, we see how Lilia changes, realizing how much she cares about the coven and how much she loves being a witch, realising that these powers are a gift no matter how unruly. We see her finally accepting her fate. And they show us the new beginning, back in that garden it all started in, as she sits down with her teacher at that table, and she says

"Let's begin again."

I animated two different versions. I wasn't able to import the first one (left) correctly because I animated it on Rough Animator, so I just decided to animate it again on Procreate (right). It turned out much easier to do the second time.
