I’ll never forget the time I went to a burlesque show that had only fat performers and one dancer poured two shot glasses onto her tits, lifted them to her face, and licked the shots straight off of them - I was hit with the realization that, not only can fat bodies do just about anything thin bodies can do, but we can do extraordinary things (including INSANELY hot things) that thin bodies will never be able to do. and that is so special!
thinking once again about how the thesis statement of Radiant Emperor is the buddhist principle that all suffering is caused by desire and uhhh. Zhu doesn't want to let go of her desire so she embraces the suffering, versus Ouyang who tries to get rid of the desire and minimize the suffering
I love how Essek was originally perceived as the Nein's Allura, but watching him with Bell's Hells really shows he wasn't. He served a very different role in the Nein's chemistry.
But the Hells? He's 100% their Allura. Serves as a source of wisdom, had his own previous life as an adventurer, exasperated by but also enchanted by the bumblefucks he never intended to get involved with. I love seeing him in this role.
commission for @smuclge, their half-orc paladin/barbarian Muurthak! i absolutely fell in love with them while working on this portrait 💜 thank you for commissioning me!
i love when bells hells have 5 hour episodes because it's always for some insane reason like "weird role playing at the jewelry store", "casino hotel shrimp party", "fake porno set", or "a literal game of spin the bottle"
