fr though we don't talk enough about the way St. Sebastian is depicted being tended to by St. Irene although they are also unnecessarily sexy

we love seeing aftercare being represented 👍

now that i finished the actual painting i can make a bit more sense when i talk about how this comic and the st sebastian painting are the same, just one is a lot more textually direct and one is more about the thinly veiled symbolism, but

they both represent a turn in Bastien's character arc, whos defining characteristic for years has been selfish indecision and emotional distance, and through it numbness of his day to day life. he is presented with one final chance to choose- to be happy, and he chooses wrong, again. what that leads to - regardless of Bastien's intentions - will haunt both of them forever. after that, his priorities change and there is no other choice for him - just the decision to be by Wolfgang's side, no matter what. no matter the danger and suffering and pain that their influence brings to his life. it has a rippling effect on him - the fire spreads consuming his previous life, and nothing will ever be the same, but he finds himself suddenly being able to ask for his wants and desires for the first time in many many years. he slowly learns to be more open and honest by letting them in.

(and yes that also means just being openly horny and allowing himself to be touched and carried and handled in ways he hasn't allowed anyone since his college days, amen. ive said it before and i still have a whole essay of thoughts about how his sexuality and his own understanding of it develops alongside all this)

now of course if you follow my string of allegories, the follow up comic is more or less "Saint Sebastian being tended by Saint Irene" but i wasn't quite insane enough yet to somehow do another full symbolic painting of that scene, so you just have to imagine it (for now)

smth to be said about depictions of st sebastian being tended to by st irene + gay men with AIDs tended to by lesbian friends. im sure its been said already but. man.

[vyragosa]

this is why i can’t quit.

TLDR: yukio mishima referenced in metal gear already by kaz => confessions of a mask, mishima’s obsession for saint-sebastian and gay awakening upon seeing the painting of his suffering => st sebastian’s imagery suffering used by the gay community and overcoming => higgs homosexuality cannot be debated at all, “i don’t care about my face, that’s why i hide it” only ever shows his face to sam at all times, object of affection

=> DS2 mocap pictures just fucking representing saint irene tending to saint sebastian’s wounds => fragile “i find and fix what’s broken.”

Holy Martyr Sebastian and his companions (287)

Feast December 18th

He grew up in Milan and became an army officer, where he distinguished himself so well that the Emperor Diocletian made him captain of the Praetorian Guard not suspecting that Sebastian was a Christian. In Rome, while fulfilling the duties of a courtier, he used his position to comfort and encourage his imprisoned fellow-Christians. By his labors and example he brought many to faith in Christ, including Chromatius, the Prefect in charge of persecuting the Roman Christians.

Sebastian had upheld two brothers, Mark and Marcellinus, who were awaiting execution for their faith. When the day of execution came, their father Tranquillinus, who had been a pagan but through Sebastian's example had converted, presented himself to Chromatius and announced that he too was a Christian. His testimony was so powerful that the hard heart of the Prefect was melted, and he himself resolved to become a Christian.

Caius, Bishop of Rome, gathered the new brethren (both men and women — not all of Sebastian's converts have been mentioned here) to embrace them and baptize them, but also to warn them of their coming Martyrdom. He instructed some to flee the city and others, headed by Sebastian, to remain in Rome, devoting their days to fasting, prayer and thanksgiving as they awaited their death. As the "company of Martyrs" did this, many came to them and were healed of ailments, and many joined them in confessing Christ.

When the time of martyrdom came, each member of the company was subjected to imaginatively cruel tortures before his execution. Sebastian himself was made to witness the deaths of all his companions, then to endure his own trial. He serenely confessed his unshaken faith before Diocletian himself before being taken to the place of execution. There he was tied to a post and made the target of a band of archers until his body bristled with arrows like the quills of a porcupine. He was left for dead, but when Irene, widow of St Castulus, came to bury him, she found him alive and tended his wounds. Amazingly, he recovered, and presented himself once again to the Emperor. Astonished and outraged, the tyrant ordered that Sebastian be beaten to death with clubs and thrown into the city's sewer. That evening, a pious Christian woman was told in a vision to retrieve his body and bury it in the catacombs. After St Constantine brought peace to the Church, Pope Damasus built a church over the site in the Saint's honor. For hundreds of years, many miracles were worked there through St Sebastian's intercessions.
