(( Tagged for 5 songs by my beloved @emotionsandphenomena. Decided to be very un-normal about that and put together a mini-themed playlist because I have been thinking about the Icarus Myth lately. Tagging @feralprinceconsort @theodoort @the-mighty-glow-cloud @tele-kay-nesis and @beansprouts. Make a weird little themed playlist if you want! Or just share whatever you're listening to this week <3 Art is Through Cataclysm by Andreas Birath))

OOH YEAH BABY ITS THE SURGERY EPISODE BABY!!! ME AND THE HOMIES NEED SOME NEW FACES FOR OUR NEW PLAN, AND WHO BETTER TO GET THE JOB DONE THAN THE TWO MOST EVIL PEOPLE WE'VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING OUR LIVES VIOLATED BY? I MEAN IT WOULD BE FUNNY. IT WOULD BE FUNNY.

What do a1 and a2 think of art? Like. Do they think about it? Do they like certain media like sculpture or oil paintings or weird subversive flyers slapped on telephone poles? Do they have favorites

a1 loves art, its one of the only things that genuinely moves him. hes particularly fond of abstract and modern. he’s got a poet’s soul. he likes carl andre and richard serra and theo van doesburg and those sorts of guys

a2 doesnt really ‘get’ art. or poetry. or anything that isnt like. literal.

Is this the IT necklace in BL land these days?

Well, I've only seen it twice, but it should be. It looks damn sexy on both Nami and Sun.

People might hate Nexus right now but I kinda cheering for him.

Come on king, get worse!!! Give us no thing!!! I need to see how much you screwed up before you die.

Girl in his period and make the whole world (his ex family) his enemy. I pray for both situations when Sun beats the shit out of him or Sun gets tortured by him happening.

Hi for the love of god HELLO!!!

Okay okay so I know you're a Tag System Fan (<3<3<3) so my thoughts for you, sir, are on how much I enjoy my tags that are dichotomies/two halves of the same coin. I have especially been thinking lately about my The Boy Who Loved the Sun vs Ophelia tags.

Like. Okay. To me the Ophelia myth is about gaining autonomy through the act of self destruction, about the value in freedom even if through death. Ophelia is a tragedy but her drowning is victorious because she is laying claim to her grief. Her own death is an act of removing herself from an unkind and ungentle narrative. Something something, "Ophelia in the water, finally breathing again" and "& girl running for her life, & girl swimming for her life, & girl sinking for her life" and "madly I take control of the recesses of myself".

MEANWHILE, Icarus is the opposite! Like Ophelia, he also has the sudden opportunity to make his own choices/mistakes where previously the narrative afforded him none ("bless these burnt wings"!!) but his drowning is about hopelessness and inevitability. No matter what he does he can't escape the narrative. The melting point of wax is an indisputable fact. Icarus doesn't know he's dying until his wings are already burning and in every version of the story that will remain true ("Every version of this myth ends with you slaughtered").

Like they are both doomed but in different directions and different flavors. Hopelessness kills Ophelia and it is a victory. Hope kills Icarus and it is a tragedy. They both have their own destruction as the only thing that truly belongs to them but Ophelia walks into the water and Icarus falls. ("I didn't have it in myself to go with grace"). They both die and lose everything because of love, ("Drowning isn't a love story") but they are also vivified by the act of dying ("I thought the fall would kill me but it only made me real").

At the end of the day though BOTH of them are that one Valeria Luiselli quote "Telling stories doesn’t solve anything, doesn’t reassemble broken lives. But perhaps it is a way of understanding the unthinkable."

Anyway, I could talk/write about this a LOT. I just really love complex stories about grief and hope and individualism.

for @klance-daydreams 's dtiys! :D

this was pretty fast and the hands and feet are a little bit weird but overall I like how this turned out! I missed drawing something this big that isn't a floating head for once, so thank you for the dtiys :)

i do find it really fucking funny how a lot of the bare bones of a starless clan are so blatantly rehashed from the broken code. what if they use the exact same pattern of "insecure boy, girl in forbidden relationship/love triangle with insecure boy, and traumatised medcat apprentice doing their own thing" in the next arc or five as well.
