A fun prompt from the fabulous @senlinyu , for whom I owe forever for seducing me back to the Dramione fandom indefinitely 💐😈🐉

the moon used to be a crescent moon. until the end of a love... when Zeus put Endimion (the mortal lover of the moon goddess Selene) into eternal sleep, the moon shone completely for the first time that day, and it became a full moon. in case his light is worth his lover's body and finds him...
recently saw a bunch of stills from the 1940 zorro film and they very just too good and gay to not draw the oldest guard boys like them - and i honestly really like how it turned out! prints and such here ⚔️
Richard Russell - Analytic System (artist’s book)
I sing Dionysus, lord of wine and Madness - he comes! Hurry To the double flute! Hurry, revelers, To the drums and rattles - let their clatter Fill the air! Everywhere grow the ivy And the grape, entwining the doorposts, The lintel - the air is thick With the god today! Already I can hear The approach of his chariot, Drawn by sleek panthers and spotted leopards - Before him and behind Are ranks of satyrs, Silenus With his drooping horse-tail: feel The earth shudder under their dancing! Thyrsi held high, Maenads shriek: Euie! Euie! Io Bromie! Water and wine gush out Of the rocks; heavy is the scent of myrrh… Where is the god? Do you See him? Does he come as he came Once to Ariadne, When cruel Theseus had left her Lying on Naxos’ shore, in iron Bands of sleep? She woke in fear… The god! A young man In fawnskin robes, long black locks Falling down his shoulders - see Them shake! “Come, Minos’ daughter, To the stars, the endless revel! No death nor age, only the gleam Of wine in ladles, poured from fire to fire Through the black sky, where you and I Will mingle in love, forever.” Now just as then, appear, Bacchic king! I taste you in the wind - Down from Nysa’s craggy slopes descend! Fill my legs with dancing, My heart make pound in my chest, Until I run mad through hill and glen With the god in my brain, the god in my guts - Full to bursting with Dionysus Who rules the wine-cup. Hail to you, Bromius - ever will you bubble Onto my lips, even as I turn to another song.
