Had somebody told me a year ago that I’d be neck deep into saints I would have died laughing. But here I am, my circles of favorite saints growing bigger by the day. These two are my new favorites. 😍
Bacchus and Sergius.
I really want to draw my version of Bacchus and Sergius riding horses and rubbing cheeks.

I am Currently scanning some new tegami bachi settei I got form the anime, and I was thinking about on how all I have seen is people just bashing the anime and Being the “manga reader” People. (This is coming Form a Person who likes both the anime and manga) they don’t understand that as much work was put into the anime, Equally the same amount for the Manga. I feel like there’s just so many Fake Tegami Bachi Fans who don’t appreciate it as a whole and are trying to avoid it (the anime) as much as possible and that’s not a good idea, I Just Think Manga Readers should at lease Approach the anime in the understanding that the staff probably would have liked to go till the end, but unfortunately the sales tanking of vol 11, made everything change.

4 of Cups ~ Bachus Tarot
Here, an idea or a new inspiration is trying to make itself known to you, but you are trying desperately not to notice. There are basically angelic choruses singing above your head, and you have clamped your hands over your ears and are doing your best “La-la-la-la-la, I can’t hear you!”
The question is, Why would someone ever ignore something like that? Surely that is what all creatives sit around waiting for: inspiration to strike. But it’s disruptive. You might be almost finished with the project, or maybe you have a very clear sense of how you want things to go, and then here comes the big blinking sign that says, “Nope, dummy, this is the way it should be instead!” It means you are going to have to tear apart the work you’ve already done or maybe abandon it completely to follow this new idea, and who wants to do that?
A client of mine, after spending four years on a manuscript and finishing a complete draft, told me that she suddenly realized during her revisions that the novel should have been written in the first person rather than in the third. She had become so stuck on the idea of a third-person narration that she had ignored the signs this was the wrong approach and plowed through to the end. Now that she was done, she was completely unwilling to fix what she knew to be a very obvious problem.
My client would not have had to start over from the beginning, but certainly admitting that this was the solution to her book’s problems would mean another year’s worth of work ahead of her. She was so anxious to be done with this book and move on to something else that she was willing to sacrifice the whole thing. Eventually, though, she resigned herself to her task and began the hard work of revision. It took her a long time, but the end result was much improved.
In that way, we can all be like Penelope in Homer’s The Odyssey, who prayed for her husband Odysseus’s return from the protracted Trojan War only to fail to recognize him when he finally showed up. If what we get doesn’t fall in line with what we expect, or if what we get is too disruptive, we can fail to see its value. And so we reject it or send it away. Like, “No, I see myself only playing stringed instruments; I have no use for the clarinet.” But maybe the clarinet will open up whole new worlds for you if you are willing to give it a try.
With the Four of Cups, you have to maintain an openness and a willingness to be derailed. It’s not good to stay stubborn just so that you can stay on schedule or stick with your original vision when a better way is calling out to you.
