i've not written poetry in years (i'm more of a novelist) but i allowed myself some cassandra thoughts (as a treat). i actually had a lot of fun with this and i'm desperate to do more with the idea in the future so we will see.
inspired obviously by my own muses, @two-bees-poetry for the brilliant contrapuntal poems about greek myth, and anne carson, specifically when she talks about cassandra's speech being split in two and her bridging of past and future!
more of my logic in the tags because i'm annoying!
#“schismos” is actually used in carson's translation and i used it as the title because it makes sense with the structure +#parallels cassandra's ultimate fate! also in the play she is very split between coherence and incoherence. which is fun#um girlhood/godhood comes from that quote by kristin chang i esp think the “begging to be believed” fits cassandra#the poem is pretty much all taking place in her scene in “agamemnon” wherein she is swinging wildly between telling her story and prophecy#so i tried to embody that! girlhood is her story; a reflection on the past of which she is informing the chorus#godhood is her prophecies/the future- when she says “troy fell and split in half” it's an oblique reference to schliemann's excavations#(she's still foreseeing the fate of her doomed city)#and then the poem in its entirety is the present! where she both tells the past and the future and bridges human and the divine#i think in proper poetry you should be able to get that just from reading. and i dont think i've reached that point#but still! i had fun and i hope you enjoyed esp if you've read this far#greek myth#greek mythology#the odyssey#the iliad#the oresteia#cassandra#writing#poetry#my writing#aeschylus#homer#poem#contrapuntal poem#poems and poetry#original poem#web weaving

we've had Pope Leon XIV for less than 24h and the TERF lunatics have already transvestigated him, oh my fucking god
this guy was an altar boy in Illinois growing up, completed secondary education at a minor seminar in Michigan in 1973 and joined the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977. according to his family he's wanted to be a priest from an early age so like
WHEN THE FUCK WOULD HE HAVE TRANSITIONED WITHOUT ANYBODY FUCKING NOTICING IN THE FUCKING NINETEEN SEVENTIES.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHETHER IT WAS POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE GENDER REGISTRATION ON ONE'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN 1970's ILLINOIS (edit, someone said it was!!)
WHERE DO TRANSPHOBES GET THIS 2x1 PACK OF INSANE AUDACITY AND HORRIFYING STUPIDITY, JUST WHAT THE FUCK
#thou hast been baptis'd a pussy bearer Sua Santità!!#for real now though#the fact that NOT EVEN THE HEAD OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH#INQUISITION AND CRUSADES CATHOLIC CHURCH#IS SAFE FROM TRANSVESTIGATORS#i cannot with transphobes what the fuck is this#who in their right mind would actually believe that the Catholic Church would somehow miss a transgender man and invest him as the Pope#it's giving genderbent Imane Khelif#like imagine being so deep down the bigoted biological sex obsession that you are willing to work with the premise that the CATHOLIC CHURCH#WOULD HAVE BEEN CHILL AF ABOUT A TRANSGENDER DUDE ALL THE WAY BACK IN 1977#THE MENTAL ACROBATICS ARE BEYOND ME I SWEAR TO FUCK#Pope Leon XIV#Leon XIV#Pope#Catholicism#Catholic#Catholic Church#Christianity#Pope Francis#trans rights#fuck transphobes#but also get them proper psychological care because they are so far from okay it's a little concerning

and! barbarian!fig! its her
#fantasy high#dimension 20#figueroth faeth#fh class quangle#if u look at the junior year design and think tifa lockhart: yeag#I already thought the cleric!gorgug junior year design kinda is very aerith so. lol#but! I do feel like these designs maybe portray the clearest arc out of all of them so far. I like that#some of it came from a bit of necessity which is really fun that mirrors the actual play format thats cool#(necessity being freshman year riz is pretty much a huge block of red flannel lmao. kinda stole figs canon color coding for a bit)#(and he's got the owlbear jacket from taping the games in sophomore year... so I cant give fig the big red blocking until#junior year lmao. coincidentally this forced me to be a bit more dynamic with her concept which is great)#her second pair of shoes very sonic tho. I kinda enjoy that lol#tbh I really love that canon gorgug is like in a pair of chucks 24/7 that is SO funny for a barbarian I hope to keep the energy going#with class swap fig I think a barbarian who wears like collector sneakers is awesome. the foot support is so important to their work#the general idea of a hyperfem girlypop barbarian still ticks for me tbh. idk enough abt the zeitgeist to know if thats passé now or not#but doing Fashion on ur job of bodily tearing ur opponent apart with the least flourish possible is just a hit for me#her knee brace is from like an injury back in her cheer days that she got by overexercising in hope of being good enough that#the team couldn't let her go. the team then used that same injury as a pretext to let her go#I think abt her arc tbh... fig's thing in canon junior year abt the point of her rebelling. I feel like a lot of it can also apply to rage#both knocking things over and holding onto things don't like. make anything new. destruction without at least a glimpse of a vision#of the after is ultimately a cynical defeatist point of view... strategic barbarianism for fig babeyy#yay! once again its time for me to Fucking Sleep. but hopefully I can hammer out a proper ref for riz and gorgug both in the#following week inbetween doing my job. its that time of da year lads (<- fully seasonal worker)

Back on my high effort joke bullshit
#bedrock’s#ultrakill#sisyphus prime#minos prime#psych there’s some deeper meaning re: ancient greek male nudity + trans minos#maybe one day I’ll do a proper dive#also fun fact the pattern on his himation is a version of the cretan stitch!#which is a little dubious because (as far as I know) it came from minoan embroidery#which is distinct from ancient greek?#and minos was the king of crete in GREEK MYTHOLOGY#which is. younger than minoan civilization.#he’s possibly younger than the ancient civilization that was named after him (fun!)#anyways I’ll let you get back to your scrolling that has been Walker’s Wiki-Walking Hour#nvm I misremembered the cretan stitch was not from the minoan#still! the intersection of history and myth is just. augh#funfl fact did u know the archeologist who discovered the Palace of Minos was also named Minos

thinking about how Sypha described Alucard like a "cold spot in a room" in S2, and Alucard showing up at the end of Nocturne S1 looking all desaturated, though yes ethereal, but also in a sense cold and ghostly, all buttoned up at the front. Sypha saying his sadness being like an icy well. And here he'd been so soft and happy by the S4 finale 😭 I'm nervous- but excited. And I fear the new groupie got some walls to tear down
#pleasepleaseplease don't allow him to just be all professional and impersonallll#like his voice isn't completely dispassionate. and I feel like some of this attitude must be from his age and experiences.#like there's a sense of maturity and security as well. just- yea.#I wonder if the series will touch more upon alucard's vampire side now and how he feels about it... he's looking the part#and he's beyond a normal human life time by far#I'd enjoy it.#he's had some more experience plotting against vampires tho I guess. considering the whole “we need a plan” thing with the group but they#did succeed making a more proper plan at the end 👍 regardless of its failure. that's just one of the canon events#castlevania#castlevania nocturne#nocturne spoilers#my rambles#castlevania spoilers

Reminding myself about how tall Juno actually is by using a Volnutt for scale but there is always something wrong with the composition.
I am going through that nonsensical-worrying thing again when I draw a large character and think I'm drawing them too small. So I drew shots that specifically had Volnutt-n-Juno standing near each other. And of course I overestimated the space that Juno's arms take up, so Volnutt ends up in the wrong spot every single time.
I think that's a sign that Juno must be left on his own forever. Yes Mew, it's because he is a dangerous killing machine.
#it would be more reasonable to do a proper side-by-side but#someone has So Much Side and I ran out of room#and volnutt can't get any closer because#1 - from the side juno's arms are in the way#2 - from the front juno's bottom spikes are in the way#so all I can get is volnutt standing from enough a distance where he can feel the creepy machine staring(?) at him#even so I think my favorite of these is the middle shot#it turned out the cleanest and volnutt isn't too far off from where he's supposed to be standing#and o'course drawing in a way that shows the notable thickness of juno's hair from the back is always good to me :)#doodle-daas#megaman legends#rockman dash#megaman juno#rockman juno#rock volnutt

"[Fitzjames'] public demeanor, which was always an easy mix of self-effacing humor and firm command, remained the same, but in private with only Crozier in attendance, Fitzjames spoke less, smiled less frequently, and too often looked distracted and miserable. For a melancholy man like Crozier, the signs were obvious. At times it was like staring into a looking glass, except for the fact that the melancholy countenance staring back was a proper lisping English gentleman rather than an Irish nobody."
The Terror, Dan Simmons
#The Terror#James Fitzjames#Crozier#Simmons' writing is so good but I'm mildly obsessed with this passage in particular#the intimacy of Fitzjames letting his guard down in front of Crozier and only Crozier#the concept of them as mirrors of one another#but it's only shown when the veneer of a “”“proper”“” Englishman is stripped away#which of course Fitzjames isn't (if the original novel follows the show - haven't gotten that far yet)#so they're both outsiders to the Empire they're perpetuating#but Crozier doesn't *know* that#so instead of relating to Fitzjames or trying to help him it just feeds his self-loathing as an “Irish nobody”#the whole description perpetuates the idea#that it's the Artic that is doing this to them rather than an innate sickness#we're blurring the lines between colonizing as metaphorical sickness and depression as a mental sickness#and the real sicknesses they're suffering from their own hubris + bringing along to a vulnerable population#IDK I GOT A JUMBLE OF THOUGHTS#none of which are coherent like the lovely meta others have done on this show#but this passage ~resonates~

Aside from the horrific act of sending a random body in place of the one you promised to send back to its home country, how twisted do you have to be to send the body of one of YOUR citizens to the ENEMY???
#Shiri Bibas#hostages#Hamas#Israel#why didn't this Palestinian woman receive a proper burial? why wasn't she allowed to rest in peace?#Hamas has absolutely no trouble counting and naming their dead mere hours after a bomb or a rocket goes off#why should this be any different?#when they KNEW the point of holding onto Shiri's body was to gain all they could from Israel in exchange for giving it back one day#antisemitism#jumblr#as far as I'm concerned Hamas needs to pay a price to get the body back#they can either have it back in exchange for releasing more hostages or fewer terrorists from Israeli prisons#take your pick

It's Make A Terrible Comic Day! (Or was, ignore my timezone.) So here's one about something I've been having a lot of fun with in my DnD game, feat. my war wizard, Benjamin Larkwright.
(None of the DMs* have let me have alchemist's fire yet, but that's just making me more creative so they may come to regret that...)
#makeaterriblecomicday2025#personal stuff#artistic endeavours#not putting this one on the proper art blog but it was fun#benjamin larkwright#dungeons and dragons#(*we're taking it in turns to dm so we all get to try it out)#benjamin is lvl 6 currently and took 1 fighter level before his 5th wizard level#meaning i didn't get fireball until the most recent level up#so i got creative with the spells i did have#so far i've set several monsters on fire and melted a redcap with acid using catapult combos#i haven't actually thrown dung at anyone yet but it'll be hilarious when i do#and i have many and various other ammo ideas too#i'm rather enjoying playing a wizard this time#being able to kill things from very far away (spell sniper feat and focus on ranged spells)#almost makes up for the stress of not having healing options#(i played a life cleric designated healer for a couple of years and the switch was. interesting)

I still dONT get Solas’s motivation. “Oh it’s for love” who does he love?? Mythal? He killed her. Lavellan? I guess, but if you didn’t romance him then what. He’s also trying to ruin the world that Lavellan loves. It’s definitely not Felassan either bc he killed him, too.
Like I get Emet-Selch and the Warrior of Light and Hythlodaeus and whatever. He’s trying to restore the people he loved. That plan makes sense.
What the fuck is Solas doing. What is bringing the veil down going to do. Who is he doing this for? What’s the point? I don’t get it. The game never explains it. Idk.
#veilguard critical#idk idk it doesn’t make sense#ffxiv spoilers#I guess#I am too far gone from caring enough about this game to write a proper post about this#it’s just. stupid.

"Administratively, too, [...] queens were considered the legal lords of their landholdings. [...] Grants noted that the queen's officials had administrative autonomy without being subject to the king or anyone else, and evidence of the same assumption can be gleaned from court rolls that were recorded with headings indicating the lord of the manor whose court proceedings were being enrolled. As an example, some court rolls for the manor of Haveringatte-Bower specified that it was the court of [Margaret of Anjou] that was in session, while later rolls recorded Elizabeth Woodville as the lord of the manor court."
— Michele Seah, "My Lady Queen, the Lord of the Manor': The Economic Roles of Late Medieval Queens", Parergon, Volume 37, Number 2, 2020.
#queenship tag#margaret of anjou#elizabeth woodville#I really appreciated how Seah acknowledged the uneven surviving evidence for her subjects and how that affects her analysis.#It was very brief but it was more than what most historians do so it was very refreshing :)#my post#english history#this is for @ anon who asked if its true that Margaret mostly hosted her own courts while EW mostly stayed with her husband#I'm not sure which (if any) historian has said something like this* but I highly doubt it's true !#We don't really have solid itineraries in place for either queen to make any kind of firm conclusions of the sort#(ie: about their residences or anything else) though I'm sure it would have varied depending on the situation#But either way it's explicitly clear that both Margaret and Elizabeth held their own courts in their own lands on multiple occasions#And we also have evidence of both of them residing with their husbands in regular circumstances#*tbh this is too long to get into right now but this assumption does fit into the few 'revisionist' interpretations of both Margaret and EW#(which imo is just as degrading as her traditional interpretation for the latter) so I wouldn't be surprised if some#historians may have framed their situations in such a way and relied entirely on their own assumptions to do so#Either way as far as I know there is no evidence of any such contrast existing - at least not on a consistent basis.#and the evidence we do have contradicts the assumption#Hope this helps! I figured a proper excerpt from this article would clarify the point better than any direct answer from me <3#queue

(this is isat act 5 spoilers shhhhh 🤫)


i dont wanna make names for thos skills </2 maybe i'll do it later
#torn fabric / OTiF#ns.txt#basil's post made me think abt lisa properly again so we both rotated thoughts at each other :)#lisa was always meant to be more linear than what base isat has going on and i think the game genre slowly devolving until it's just-#-running terminal commands is fun :) i never could properly figure out how to make the Machine part of him hit home#and well! now i have it! :3#i think act 5 like. after being unfrozen it goes back to text adventure instead of terminal#but all of the text is overlapping on the ui and cgs and everything which has returned#lisa is still Out Of It and of course doing bad™️ so like. it's jarring. these are people you havent Seen in who knows how long#and now. you can see them again. you don't understand.#god. over a year and only now do i have proper thoughts on how to flesh my freak machine out </2#isat spoilers#<- this should be far enough removed from showing up in tags#if it does. im sorry. lisa now
