#welp There You Go

No because I like drawing him a tad too much

cherik fanart because yes

you can follow me for the fandom you enjoy but watch out

i feel like everyone at some point in life has bought an article of clothing because it is/reminds them of something a fictional character wears or something they may wear, and i’m extremely curious what that others have bought. i have one of the exact green jackets will wears in hannibal

having a blorbo in greek mythology and epics is like the ancient world version of realizing the tv show had a different writer for the one episode your critter was wildly out of character and everyone is like "oh that's so them!" ??? did we watch the same show? helen of troy/sparta is a slut no wait she is a perfect woman no no she is a flawed human being no hold on she's a woman making her way in a man's world wait no she is the archetypal victim no wait-

not coincidentally i am reading madeline miller's the song of achilles for the first time and odysseus just showed up halfway through and odysseus'ed across the page so hard he made me fall in love with him all over again. achilles/patroclus is some foundational tragic queer romance, yeah i respect that, but odysseus. the laughing snake that tricks you into forgetting he is always ready to bite. my man

i bet he is a tricky character to write well but as long as he falls somewhere on the wile e. coyote <--> bugs bunny spectrum he is probably in character. because his character is to be tricksily varied. is he just a dude trying to get home? is he a larger than life hero? a rat bastard nobody can trust? the one male in hellas with a working brain who doesn't listen only to his dick or his overinflated ego? a wifeguy (positive)? a wifeguy (negative)? athena's special boy in this generation (telemachus and orestes wiping their noses on their blankets still)? or her latest mortal hackeysack, legs blurring in a looney tunes run between zany schemes, just a bit faster than the other doomed shmucks? all are intensely valid interpretations and go all the way back to homer 2800 years ago. incredible.

someone in the book is making fun of odysseus for bragging about how much he likes the ship, fresh from ithaca!! penelope modeled for the figurehead!!! he gets to see her while they're apart!!!! and that's why i set the book down for a minute. hgn. hdmahflshsk. odysseus sweetie pie i hope you still like it twenty years from now. the ghosts of my middle school english notes defining "dramatic irony" scream in ecstasy from the great beyond

Today I celebrate fan artists! So much talent and you choose to share it with us! Thank you! I adore seeing people bring to life a fanfic scene or a book character we’ve never seen depicted , but I also love when you take a well known character and flesh out your version.

And yes, I mean all artists! Digital! Hand drawn! Still learning! Well established! And yes, even stick figures and the art you think sucks. Bring it!

I know with algorithms and attention spans, people click through art very fast. Feel free to reblog this with links to your art to to your patreon for art!

I’m curious do you guys buy physical books (new or used), get them out of the library (physical or digital), or buy e versions?

Their vibes are just so... are they from the same genre?
