I just played through Slay the Princess for the first time, and… I cannot stop thinking about the Cage.

To be profoundly and finally severed from the illusion of your autonomy. To look on, from a prison of your own making, as your body acts out a legacy of violence against the body of the only other person who can or will come near you. To see their body perform that same violent dance. To be bound to this person, and in your limited state not to understand why. In that moment, as the silhouettes in the shadows act out the story of the princess and the slayer, to share a moment of peace with the one sent to kill you.

Intertwined. Diminished. Reductive, mutually destructive. Trapped in an infinite dance.

Beautiful.

To have been so determined you never had free will, never could have found another way. To realize you may have been wrong. To be trapped in a pattern, but unaware of what that pattern truly is.

Still, for that finite and watchful moment, not to be alone.

(Mild gore under cut.)

(Also this art from the game haunts me.)

Okay I can't find the dogblr post that inspired this so you just get my train of thought:

An acquaintance of mine was looking into getting a WL terv last year. She is a great fit for the breed-- has owned SL tervs and currently owns sporter collies. She did end up getting a WL terv earlier this year and I'm excited to see what they accomplish together. But we did have a conversation that stuck in my mind.

We were both volunteering at a tracking trial in December-ish last year and brought our dogs so they weren't sitting around at home. I had Zaku out on leash and he was quietly destroying a stick while we chatted.

My acquaintance, who I will call Janie, was telling me about the traits she wanted in a terv. She told me she liked Zaku very much, but she thought she wanted a dog that was more active. She kept looking at him and saying he was "too calm" and she was looking for something sporty with a lot of drive and oomph.

And I had to explain to her that Zaku has a ton of drive and oomph, but right now, as we are standing here on day two of the tracking trial, where he has spent most of the day just hanging out in the car, Zaku understands it is time to be chill, so he is being chill. I don't want a dog that is buzzing 24/7 because that would drive me bonkers. But when I ask him to turn on, he Turns On, and it's like steering a freight train or a rocket.

Janie said, "Hmmm... I guess you're right," but appeared unconvinced.

So yeah, something something just because my dog knows how to settle and quietly entertain himself when he's "off-duty" doesn't mean he has no drive or speed. I need to be able to live with him, and while he is absolutely super active, he isn't bouncing off the walls at all times.

making Hamlet fanart in 2024, slapping Juicy (main hero of Fat Ham, a modern play, Hamlet version, played by black fat queer person) on char design i saw in old b&w film while listening MCR playlist was an experience

highly recommend. also pls watch/read Fat Ham upd: image description added! (in alt text, but also under the cut)

(Image Description: List of sketches with 3 drawings. The textures used here are elegant looks-like photo silk (for clothes), soft shades and gradients. Shapes are sinking in each other depth. No color, black and white

It's fanart depicting Hamlet character being combination of different versions of him from different media: fat black queer masculine person being elegant, wearing mascara and lipstick (took from modern play Fat Ham) wearing vintage royal clothes (took from old classic film). The narrative of sketches also mixed of modern play (Fat Ham) and classic one

There are 3 sketches:

First one. It's the character described above (TC in text further) sitting in side view. His eyes is closed and face has melancholic emotion. TC is holding a scull. There is a simple-shaped silhouette of crown above his head. This image represent classic play melancholic vibes of character fused with modern play appearance

Second sketch. It's TC singing, while holding white pigeon in hands. It had previous classic-modern fusion vibes + a little vibe of disney princess song (because of bird and emotion expression similar to disney musicals). By left side of this sketch is stylized speech babble with music notes symbols and deformed text, visualization of singing. The text saying: "I want a perfect body", quoting singing of TC from modern play. By the right side of sketch there is arrow pointing at character with text "has most perfect body ever".

Sketch Three. It's dynamic sketch of TC in a duel (opponent is out of the frame), waving a thin sword (idk how it in eng, in my first it's шпага, a sword but specific type of it). From the chest of TC it's going steam, like character is heated mechanism pushed to limits. The face of TC is strong and determined, with mouth wide open trying to catch breath. Near this sketch is text: (text starts here) "He is fat and scant of breath" - original play quote. i know Fat Ham message. this one [the sketch with duel] here for slay jpeg reason (text ends here).

I found this tiktok (by whoismer0_0) yesterday and IT'S LITERALLY ABE 💥 i just had to redraw this

[pixelatedmorro]

uh...

Here you go ig

@nyaskitten

I like to think he'd like her attitude

[wilwywaylan]

Present for the wonderful @hatchstrange ! I decided to try my hand at a Viktor because why not. He's fun to draw, and he's also a scientist, and he has cheekbones, and he looks like Peter Cushing, and....

Well, here he is. I couldn't decide on the background, so I tried both.

Happy birthday, friend !

starscream for @jestlingnest

[55adapertio]

I'm collecting characters from literally everywhere to do this, so here too hehe. I won't be able to do all but I still want to hear everyone's suggestions to play around with my artstyle! It can be through here or asks

Only canon characters, no ocs for now!

[ronineedsanexorcism]

so I've decided to ask @silvrfissh to make an collab since she's one of my fav artists in gpgp community– and we decided to draw Olive and Morgan's interracting with each other!

(since we both ship them with one and only Nasir lmao)

I really like how this all turned out!

+ a redraw of that one meme which Sil made (cuz it reminded her of Olive, Morgan and Nasir's whole dynamic lol)

(before you say– Sil allowed me to post her meme redraw)

original pic ↓

... and that's all I guess

also I'M SO GLAD THAT WE DID THIS COLLAB EUSHZBSJSIXHXBSJAKZHSB

[call-me-chips]

To any artists that see this, what's that one character that you love and rlly rlly wanna draw, but just can't for some reason?

Like every time you try it looks WRONG

I know I'm not the only one

[beetlehoven]

kinda random but like

what is Ireland like

cause whenever I see pictures it's mostly grassland and idk what really others places r like or look like

well we for sure have a lot a lot a lot of grass. and rocks. a good few rocks. im out rural so this is my bus ride every day (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

snapchat quality (⁠●⁠´⁠⌓⁠`⁠●⁠)

lots of woods as well but farming is everything here so its mostly fields & fields & fields & fields. lots of cows & the occasional pony & sometimes sheep though those would often be further towards the coast than me. its all very very very hilly there's no shortage of them to roll down in the nice weather

towns are short and a little squished, cities are busy & loud & big like cities everywhere.

im not sure what to say other than that. i quite like it here :⁠-⁠)
