realized a drawing i'm doing rn is almost identically posed to one i did 8.5 years ago of a different oc, except the old drawing was instantly tainted by one of the players featured messaging me asking if i could take it down because their abusive, possessive rp partner saw it and got jealous of them "roleplaying behind their back" and i said "nah" and it became a whole Thing that i should have walked away from at that exact moment but didn't and the 6 months that followed contained some of the most truly condensed batshit i have ever witnessed in an rp community already well-known for its batshittery.
... anyway i love my friends. so happy to accidentally redeem the pose.

maybe icarus went through with melinoë's plan because he assumed if something went wrong the consequences would be his to suffer, not hers
he's already dead. what else can be done? if he disappears, that's that. he wouldn't want her to get hurt, but she's a goddess. she's a powerful witch. wouldn't she be invincible in icarus's eyes?
and then he's horribly wrong

the thing about culture that's difficult for a lot of people it seems to me is that "culture" is not some ontologically coherent Blob where you can sit at the table and someone will serve it to you and you get to just sit there and Receive it. or, it's not something you can dig up and carefully extract unchanged, if you sit carefully enough at your books, and then put on your mantle to admire. i'm a motherfucker whose career is about digging things up from books so i get the appeal, and yet that's not what Culture is, because culture is what you Do. so you already have one. what food do you eat? where do you live? what rituals do you perform? do you take your shoes off when you go inside?
culture is distinct from religion and ethnicity (though obviously it's interrelated with both), and deeply related to the place you live now and its customs and foodways and norms for politeness and hospitality, and what other populations live around you in the place you live now. trying to connect to the mystical immigrant old-country past of your ancestors is unlikely to get you the results you're looking for - culture is something you do every day and i promise you already have one. and you're already doing it. which means that you can also just as easily change the things you do if you don't like them.

⋆⋅★⋅⋆ My inprnt store is open! ⋆⋅★⋅⋆
I'm a comic artist and doodlist for fun, most of my stuff isn't made with prints in mind, but a rare spawn of a more detailed illustration will end up here.
This's the only type of physical goods I can offer as someone living outside US, I'm cut off from xiv's bustling merch scene. But if you feel like getting a high quality art print from me, this's the place for you! Inprnt handles the shipping and gives me 50% from the sales, which is far more generous than other similar services. I chose it after carefully looking for a print service that still respects artists, hopefully it stays that way.

Hello artist. Before you is a finished, rendered drawing you have just finished working on. It looks dull and lackluster to you. Your art program has a "color curves" feature. Will you use it to add some variation to your colors, or will you perish like a dog?
