Love Reading About Pets From Ancient Rome Because Sometimes You Find A Sweet Little Poem An Ancient Roman

ok, but does anyone else always have that incredibly exhausting feeling of having to somehow entertain or keep the people around you happy so that you yourself don't seem boring or uninteresting to them so that the mood doesn't even slightly begin to change and people turn away from you? or am i just insecure af lol

I love getting overly attached to characters who are just so lame. Like, Jonathan Jarchivist Sims does have attributes that are theoretically very cool (he became god, he could kill people with his mind and all that) but the scenes that have me grinning and twirling my hair are always, like. Jon sitting at his desk and bitterly muttering about how his coworkers stole his pens.

a plague angel :]

wish I were normal about The Magnus Archives but unfortunately I'm gay and mentally ill and in love with Jonathan Sims

gotta draw gerry every once in a while to get it outta my system

Maurice: I have shared with Alec

Clive, AN INTELLECTUAL: Shared what?

(I mean, I don't know Clive, maybe his toothpaste? His disappointment in you? Who knows Clive who knows🤡)

(But what we do know is that the D in Durham stands for Dumbass)

Filipiniana inspired by the Entities (the Eye, the Vast, the Dark)

[ID: Three drawings of three modelled Filipinianas against a shared background which looks like aged paper. Each one is labelled a different entity which goes, from left to right, the Eye, the Vast, and the Dark. All the models are faceless. Three close ups follow the main image.

The Eye Filipiniana is an 1890s traje de mestiza featuring a brown panuelo with green embroidered trimming resembling ink pen tips and green strips resembling eyelashes at the opening, a translucent wide-sleeved striped baro in alternating off-white and green with green embroidered eyes for trimming, a dark cyan tapis with rows of books patterned on, and a silky striped saya in alternating yellow and green with an eye where the saya and the tapis meet and embroidery of people walking at the hem. Finished with accessories of a silky green necklace with a hanging realistic eye and a dark blue folding fan with an eye pattern. The model has brown skin and straight black hair up in a bun.

The Vast Filipiniana is a Commonwealth Era Style Baro’t Saya featuring a violet umbrella with a bright galaxy on the inside that the model holds on her shoulder, a magenta panuelo with yellow and orange stripes held together with a bright yellow star-shaped medallion, wide translucent butterfly-sleeved baro with a sunset to sky blue gradient from top to bottom with embroidered white clouds on the sleeves, a tapis with different shades of blue going from a light blue to dark blue top to bottom with embroidered silver fish of differing sizes, and a silky dark-blue-to-deep-blue saya with a long saya de cola with dark silhouettes resembling tentacles creeping up the sides. The model has pale tan skin and wavy hair held up in a loose lower bun.

The Dark Filipiniana is an 1840s Baro’t Saya styled for church-wear featuring a translucent plaid-patterned magenta panuelo, a striped straight-sleeved camisa in alternating dark magenta and off-white, a dark purple tapis embroidered with hands in alternating red and blue gripping each other by the wrist, a plaid-patterned magenta saya, and dark purple sandals. The models holds a dark purple hood over her head, the outside is a dark purple trimmed with white embroidery meant to look like closed eyes, the inside is a dark mass filled with open white eyes in strange positions, the dark mass drips down the edges of the hood, some eyes following. The model has ashy tan skin and combed back brown hair.

Finally finished it! I’ve wanted to do this for a while but pushed it off until now. The Entities as a couple versions of the Filipiniana. I don’t have plans rn to make the others since I suspect I will soon be busy again. Still, I have some ideas, particularly for the Web. Have a favourite?

My inspiration+info under the cut! :D

[ID: A digital painting of Jonathan Sims standing in water. He is a thin brown man with long hair wearing an open robe, and he's submerged to his chest in water and surrounded by lotuses. He also wears a pink flower crown. Both images are of the same art, but the first is red-toned, making it feel murkier, and slim eyes open along Jon's face.

Favorite trope in ‘John has his own body’ fics: graphically describing how he wants to crawl back in Arthur’s skin and generally Doesn’t Like when they’re not touching
