Y’all are reading a book where a mob showed up to burn some impoverished exiles’ village to the ground, smash an old granny’s head in, and dump everyone’s bodies into a blood pool so their spirits would never know peace, but you are handwringing about how the characters involved “had no choice” and “who can say what’s right or wrong?” and “is it such a crime to say that everyone really loves each other deep down? 🥺” Do y’all be hearing yourselves???

I think a lot about how if Solo enlisted at 15/16 (he had to have enlisted between January 1945 and Germany's surrender in May, and he only turned 16 in March), he didn't finish high school. Did he ever get around to getting his GED? Could he have gotten his GED? After all, he stayed in Germany after the War instead of returning to the US, not to mention his cover would have fallen apart if he had to hand over his academic records. Or was he simply too busy learning languages and stealing art to bother? Did he get it during his time with the CIA?
Solo probably knows enough about art and antiquities to have a Master's degree just from personal experience, but did he ever study it? Did he teach himself or learn it from other art thieves? Did he ever think about going to school for it?

another thing that i feel must needs be said is that, while yes, photos and news from ukraine may seem less "striking" than those from, say, gaza (what, only one family killed by an air raid? only one house bombed? that's not a lot, is it?), making the war feel less urgent to an outsider, it's not at all due to russia's good will or lack of enthusiasm to kill us.
russia is not being kinder to us than israel is to palestine (if you want to hear about every barbarity imaginable, we have that. any ukrainian can tell you).
russia is not bombing us one building at a time (if you're eager to see whole cities erased from existence, we have plenty of those. any ukrainian can show you).
russia just fails sometimes. because an active, massive, bloody effort is being made to make them fail. an effort that needs to be maintained 24/7, yes, for weeks and months and years, no breaks, no "attention cycles", with gruelling, unexciting, unpretty work that can't be helped by canceling celebrities or ratio-ing people on twitter.
some of us remain alive because we have some means to defend, and russia lacks some means to attack, and both factors could change at any moment (in fact, they are changing right now, for the worse, and every person in the us/eu for whom ukraine aid is an afterthought is doing their part to exacerbate it).
some of us remain alive because prevention works – because prevention is working.
but it is not a one-and-done thing. it's hard work, and we are far from finished.
so unless you're more into feeling sorry for the dead than helping the living, keep standing with us or at least have the grace to move out of the way.

I dunno. YAPPING HEADS UP YALL. In the whole post and tags and everything.
Hope everyone enjoys the potential influx of drawings that will be hitting this blog once school starts back up for me(in like four days, nearly technically three since this one is almost over with!). I can't promise I'll post everyy little drawing and doodle, but do expect a lot of traditional stuff!!
Perhaps an influx in drabbles or stories too👀
Truthfully, I'm kinda extra excited for it! Something about traditional drawing just feels extra in-control to me with how my lines are gonna turn out and stuff, probably cause I spent so long doing it! Not that I won't miss some perks of digital, haha! Maybe I'll do one of those things sometimes where you draw it traditionally, and then transfer it over to digital for like finalizing it and stuff?🤔 that could be very interesting..
But I haven't gotten to draw my boys a lot, and so I'm quite excited to get to really work out on drawing them and getting them stylized to my art style! Especially to where I can just crank out doodles of them without lookin up images or anything, hehe!! Will I be a complete mess trying to do it? Yes absolutely. Especially with Octavius. Good sir I mean this in the most respectful way possible but REMOVE YOUR CHESTPLATE before it KILLS ME. You are getting de-soldiered treatment, you can keep your red tunic that's all your getting
