NEW CHARACTER JUST DROPPED!!! Ruth Grosz/Ruth Groß (25y.o) is Judith's best friend since childhood. Ruth has always supported Judith through her life and is the only person Judith considers her true friend, but despite everything, Ruth is very problematic and grew up with many demands to be an exemplary woman in her community. Ruth came to Krakow with her parents from Germany when she was still a child and soon became very popular in the local community. During her teens she started to become obsessed with beauty stuff, which made her very vain. She is always well-groomed and in makeup, she also likes to wear expensive clothes and is currently working as a hairdresser and making sheitel wigs. Her beauty and personality attract many looks and many men want to marry her, making her very desired. She constantly goes on secret dates with her suitors and the only person who knows about it is Judith, who worries a lot about what the community will think of her friend if they find out but she keeps the secret. She never married and this caused many in the community to start questioning her modesty. After a while, she starts a relationship with Lev, who seems to really love her and always presents her with clothes and accessories that he makes himself. He is also always concerned about her well-being and tries to be as supportive as possible, but although she tries to act satisfied, she never is. Apparently she approached Lev so she could be closer with Spitzel, and he begins to notice this eventually and their relationship begins to deteriorate and they start to feel mixed feelings for each other. It is a fact that Ruth feels a great need for approval from people, as she was never able to please her parents since childhood and must restrain herself from being her true self by the rules of the community. Despite all that, she is really talented at her job. After Judith's family decided to arrange the marriage to Spitzel, Ruth became extremely jealous as she has feelings for Spitzel since her childhood. She ends up getting angry with Judith, even though Judith doesn't feel anything for Spitzel, and then the friendship between them becomes extremely toxic. Ruth begins to treat her friend with inferiority, and begins to get restless to the point that she decides to make everything to ruin the wedding and win Spitzel for her. She knows that being married with the most talented man in her community will finally please her family, and this made her pin all her hopes on marrying him. After this, her mental health begins to decline significantly, and she turns to drinking and smoking, always getting drunk and having emotional breakdowns. Her personality will also change drastically and she will start to be labeled as "crazy". Upon learning about Spitzel's true nature, she becomes even more obsessed with him, and begins to consider him her true "god". He realizes that he can use her to his advantage, and so the two begin to have a hidden relationship and she helps him with the stuff.

mE, SITTING STRAIGHT UP HEARING ABOUT 02 LIVE DRAMA READING: MIYAKO WAS STUDYING IN h UNGARY TOO?!???!

[referencees]

It’s incredible to me how deeply Israeli propaganda and media subversion has ingrained itself into some Jewish communities in the US. I went to a school with a very large Jewish population and so many kids would tell me these harrowing stories about how their family members fled Europe in the 1940’s or how they survived. These histories and experiences really meant a lot to their identity. And then these same people are now prattling on about the importance of the Israeli state and how the Palestinians ‘did this to themselves’.

Like how?? How do you spend so much of your youth identifying with the genuinely horrifying things that happened to your family and so many others and then turn around and excuse the same atrocities when they’re happening to someone else? AND then you go after other Jewish people who don’t agree with you and alienate them from their community for standing up for what they think is right.

It genuinely makes me feel a little sick. All those experiences and values they claimed to have for so long were really just for show. None of it really means anything.

Judith is a 18 years old orthodox Jewish girl who is destined to marry Spitzel by her family's choice. Her hobby is photography, she is always taking her camera with her everywhere. She spends a lot of time improving her talent and enjoys photographing nature and her friends. She is always under constant pressure from her family and community to get married and have children, but she really doesn't feel ready for that. She accidentally discovers that Spitzel is not human when developing a distorted film she took of him, and quickly starts investigating it, and now needs to find a way to kill him to save her life and prevent the wedding from taking place.

I'm genuinely learning more about perspective and lineart and whatnot through doing these (which was the goal. along with autism)

As always, context/ rambles under cut

The first one is a picture of Me trying to eat spaghetti and meatballs my mom made for me after work as Custard tried desperately to get my meatball. I kind of loved how blursed cat Michael is. The original image is below (with identifying info blurred) I had the same issue tracing me as i did rotoscoping my friend which is that we're both ethnically jewish (half in my case) and it takes a lot of adjustments to use our features to make a catholic priest

The second is from a video I made with my highschool friends senior year instead of going to prom (covid was still rampant where we were, also none of us had partners to go with). The video is on youtube somewhere it was a dhar mann parody. The original image is below also.

The final one is from ex friends from college. (Not the same ones as in my other images, I had to cut these off for reasons). Sorry can't share the original but I've wanted to use this as a ref for something for a few years and I refuse to let it go to waste bc wtf was he doing

Thinking about your "Rachel bashing og greek myths" post, methinks she believed herself to be making greek culture a favor similarly to the author of The Phantom of Manhattan, the unofficial sequel to The Phantom of the Opera

In the preface, the author begins by saying that Phantom, unlike Frankenstein or Dracula, barely made a dent in world culture until Andrew Lloyd Webber came along to make the musical, which he considers the "true" version even tho like...it wouldn't exist without the novel! He bashes Gaston Leroux and basically states that his attempt at writing failed miserably and it's like DUDE, again, the musical and your problematic sequel wouldn't even exist without it, and just because it was bigger in France than in the usa it doesn't mean it had zero impact in culture

But of COURSE unless it's usa-approved then it doesn't count and isn't worth anything *sarcasm*

PHENOMENAL point, FANTASTIC point, absolutely true and correct

i can't be a total dick and say this is an issue solely created and implemented by rachel, because we've seen non-western cultures and religions absolutely whitewashed to hell and back - like, people have been drawing jesus of the bible as white for centuries when he was a middle eastern palestinian jewish man, and good god look what the west has done to the religions of india, china, and japan. but it's the way these kinds of stories drip with a sort of smugness in removing the original culture, in depicting it as backwards and broken.

rachel wants to claim she's making a feminist retelling, but the original myth was already feminist. ancient greece didn't pretend their society was not fiercely male dominated and patriarchal, and hades stealing persephone was absolutely in line with the traditional myths - the twist is that demeter wins. demeter punishes the male gods who stole her daughter, and the ferocity of her rage and grief forces hades and zeus to give in. if persephone hadn't eaten the pomegrante seeds, she wouldn't be in the underworld at all! this is a story that is so clearly a triumph for the mothers and daughters of ancient greece, of many worlds over, because it depicted explicitly that a mother's love was more powerful than even the gods. and rachel pisses all over that.

literally even going beyond that, looking at the society that is olympus and the underworld - all the technology they use, all the innovations they have. who exactly is making these??? where exactly is the material coming from??? you can handwave away most of the inventions by saying it's magic, but we've seen demeter talk about algebra, which was invented in the ninth century by a muslim scholar from persia. in speedrunning to this so called perfect modernized world, rachel actually erases the cultural offerings and developments of dozens of other ancient worlds, and kind of just gives the credit to the underworld, which is run by a slave driver.

persephone constantly bemoans the dullness of the mortal realm, and prefers to literally lounge around doing nothing, when the mortal realm is inventing the olympic games, the democratic forum, FOOTBALL. you have thousands of things to show the gods involved in - largely because the gods were the patrons!!! why do we never see zeus looking over the olympic games??? they happen in his sanctuary!!!

like the disdain rachel has for ancient greece is insane. she can't even bother to research the food typical of the time period, seeing as she writes persephone being looked down on for being vegetarian when vegetables were a key and staple diet of ancient greece. one could argue that a vast majority of ancient greece were vegetarian by general habit. she's baking cheesecake and french desserts and having fast food and carrot cake and maybe - maybe - she'll mention baklava. the ancient greeks are FAMOUS for their art, but we sure wouldn't know that from lore olympus. the only character who even references ancient greek music is apollo, with his lyre, and that's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

and this is not to say that an adaption has to follow the ancient text to a t - that's just not feasible and no one is expected to do so. but there's really something to how rachel does dismiss or ignore the canonical importance of so many of these stories to replace them with a western interpretation. even the therapy speak is grating. in episode 227, when persephone is talking about the concept of virginity, she's absolutely correct in pointing out how that's largely a social construct - but in light of the world she lives in and the world she helps control, the same idea could have been reached through means other than americanized psych talk.

so often, people will look back at the ancient world and think we are morally superior because we do not have the same views, or we have seemingly "developed." that is a view i abhor, because it removes the very act of learning and developing and understanding. rachel really talked big about how removing the incest of ancient greece made the story better, but incidentally, she managed to also take out the feminism, and literally the entire lgbt culture of ancient greece. apollo was even considered the patron of homosexuality! he was called to bless same-sex unions! zeus had DOZENS of male lovers; ares, hephestus, and hermes had known male relationships, and several of the ancient heroes and gods of greek mythology were described in terms we would refer to as transgender in modern times.

if rachel had gone "i'm writing a love story that's originally inspired by the myth of persephone and hades but it's very much modern and removed from the myths" that would be one thing, and i would not be bristling at that; myths have inspired countless stories over the centuries and will continue to do so for centuries to come. the problem is rachel wants to claim a rooting in these myths with zero understanding of how they work or why they work, and absolutely lets her contempt for the ancients shine through in every single aspect of her comic. it's gross and it's petty and she deserves none of the self-appointed "mythology expert" she's given herself.

i need opinions... someone drew my OC (who is jewish, which is mentioned on their ref) with a large hooked nose which was a) not even CLOSE to the way their nose was drawn in their reference sheet and b) not part of the artist's style (i checked, no other attack features that). is that, like... reportable for antisemitism?? on the one hand i feel like i'm overreacting about their intentions/the scale of the issue but they obviously CHOSE to draw it that way and it's weirding me out

Ingrid

"Gay people are real??? They don't just exist in San Francisco and on Glee???" /gen confusion. Not in a homophobic way, she's just raised in a conservative environment and instead of going on the internet, she hangs out with her horses (Just wait till she finds out about trans people)

When her family was going through a particularly hard financial time, her friends started packing extra lunch. They all know she doesn't accept handouts but Ingrid will never say no to leftovers.

So chronically offline. Who's Billie Eilish? What's Succession? What is Rizz?? They're making another Spider-Man movie!?

Felix

"I fucking hate my dad" "why? Is it cause he didn't accept you being queer/trans?" "No, he was cool with that. He's just fucking annoying."

"Ingrid, what the hell, I'm literally trans. You know this. We've been friends since we were in diapers." "Oh. I forgot." "YOU FORGOT!?"

Wasian. (tw sui joke) @ Dimitri and Sylvain "stop joking about killing yourself--you're appropriating my culture, assholes."

Secret Olivia Rodrigo fan. He only listens to her music on youtube + incognito mode. Only Annette knows. Annette manages to get them concert tickets were they run into Lysithea.

Ashe

Spider-Man stan on main. Somehow he convinces Dedue to be his Ned Leeds to his Peter Parker for Halloween
