#Nothing to Despair

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”

#Frankenstein #gothic literature #gothic lit art #victor frankenstein #happy new year lads #ive been thinking about nothing else but them for the past 3 days #been trying to figure out a decent design for victor and i think im getting closer #he needs to have a cruelness to him #and he needs to be kind of pathetic #someone who the creature could snap in half yknow #and i need to make the creature more Mean looking but it just feels right to draw him sad and despairing #THAT BEING SAID i think i did a good job here hehe #henry is next :))) #my art #illustration

The more I think about the last minutes the more I’m sure Crowley was saying goodbye from the minute Aziraphale told him he’d said yes to Heaven. He doesn’t confess his love like he’s hopeful, he confesses it like a eulogy. He doesn’t kiss him to make a beginning, he kisses him to seal the end. He watches him go like it’s the last time.

Crowley knows Heaven. He knows they’ll want to either make Aziraphale just like them, or destroy him. Either way I think he believes he’s seen his angel for the last time.

#‘nothing lasts forever’ #‘no I don’t suppose it does’ #that look on his face is despair #to be clear I know this won’t end like this #but he doesn’t #he’s spent six thousand years keeping a little space for them both #he doesn’t know what Aziraphale can do without him #(neither does Aziraphale) #(maybe they need to learn) #(maybe he’ll find he has more help than he thinks) #(if Gabriel and Muriel were so ready to leave who else up there is questioning?) #good omens 2 #good omens #a/c

Spectra is one of my fav characters of all time, she is so evil, and I love her so much for it, so this is how I'd draw her! I think when she doesn't wanna work to feed on misery she trespasses on funerals ♡

Prompt 199

“Where the fuck are my legs?” 

Danny wasn’t happy. It wasn’t funny! Usually he just had a ghost tail when flying really fast, like super speed, not all the time! It’s not funny Clockwork, you’re used to having a tail, he isn’t! 

What do you mean it’s permanent?! He needs his legs! Clockwork!! He wouldn’t have agreed to the adoption if he knew he’d lose his legs! 

…Okay, that was a lie, Clockwork was a great parent who encouraged his chaos and enjoyed screwing over assholes like the Observants. But still! He looks like some sort of snake person now! No he doesn’t want a nap, he’s not a baby! 

Clockwork, why are you being quiet? He’s not a baby! He’s not a baby, right? What do you mean all ghosts are babies until they’re a hundred years dead!? But he’s a halfa- what do you mean it takes longer for Ancients?! 

No he doesn’t want that nap, he’s having a midlife crisis here several years too early! 

#Why Yes this is based off the fact that I can only draw ghost tails like they’re nagas lol #Danny Phantom #Prompts #Danny Fenton #Clockwork #Space Core Danny #He’s the baby ancient of space #Dad Clockwork #Danny despairs until CW tells him about this LOVELY loophole of him being his new parent #Nothing can stop Clockwork from coming to Amity to protect his lil ghostling after all #The ghost hunters and troublemaking ghosts are Concerned by the MOUNTAIN SIZED ghost #Oh hey it has similar hair and body structure to Phantom- #Oh shit! #Ghosts continue to grow with age and space #Clockwork can Technically be as long as infinity if he wants #Danny complainin to Johnny & Kitty: And then he said I’m baby! I’m not baby! We’re not baby right? #Johnny & Kitty who also count as ghostlings: Of course we’re not babies! The audacity!! #They deserve to be friends

The thing about 'The Nazis only hated those other groups because they associated them with Jews, therefore their genocide is less important' is like, OK why did the Nazis associate communism, gender deviance, etc, with Jews? Could it be their Antisemitism, their racism against Romani people, their praise of settler colonial projects, their fanatical opposition to communism, their belief in rigid gender roles, their support for eugenics, all stem from some underlying causes, that they all uphold a system that some stand to gain from, and they assigned Jews as the ones behind it all? No, that would run the risk of contextualizing Antisemitism, tying it to other forms of oppression, implying we have reason to be in solidarity with other groups, and worst of all, implying that changing social conditions may eventually end (or even lessen!) Antisemitism. And that would undermine the ethnic separatism I was raised to believe. Better to take the Nazis at their word that they saw all those other things as Jewish creations and attribute their Antisemitism as stemming from some transhistorical madness, that way we can treat Antisemitism as coming from everywhere and nowhere, an eternal, unsolvable problem. That way we can feel confident that our ethnonationalism is correct, that the genocide I support is justified self defense.

#it does not help in fighting our own oppression or in mourning those lost in the shoah to deny any connection to other oppressed groups #it does nothing but encourage despair and separatism #in fact it does a good deal of disrespect to those who died in the shoah #to refuse to understand why they were killed and to let the ideological descendants of their murderers off the hook

I’ll never get over that it took just one strangers small moment of kindness to change Xie Lians path. All of the suffering he went through, all of the despair, the disillusionment, all not forgotten or even forgiven, but reconciled. All because one person, not Hua Cheng, not family, not his ex friends, not his people, reached back to him when he’d been starting to lower his own hand in defeat. It’s possibly my favorite and most meaningful part of TGCF for me, because for me it stops being about these two guys who were meant for each other and were impossibly lucky enough to have found each other, and becomes a story about a person who had lost his way in his world so thoroughly that he lost himself, only to be found and put back on his feet by that same world that he mourned so terribly. His world stops being a concept of scale of numbers, black and white, good and bad, and becomes about the individual. What he can do to help individuals, the connections he can make with them. Their histories, their names, their faces. Inside each person is it’s own world. He’d been knocked off his pedestal, and the fall hurt to the point of breaking. But now that he’s risen to his feet, he’s able to look all these people in the eye, and they’re so much taller than he’d seen before.

#not art #bones rants #you can disagree this was just my feeling on itttt #bc I feel like we’ve all maybe been in that moment of despair where you’re at rock bottom #and someone somewhere that has no bearing on you offers a small bit of kindness for nothing more than to do it because it’s right #and that despair doesn’t retreat #but now it must make room for the hope that lives beside it #as you grow around both #okay maybe I’m projecting #to delete later

in my head after the events of camlann merlin returns to camelot and, still riddled with terrible guilt and grief, confesses to leon about everything that had happened and everything he had done, magic and all. and instead of outrage or betrayal or scorn or judgement (or even death, as he had briefly considered) leon shatters him with a deeply apologetic expression and a whispered “my friend… you must have been so afraid, and so tired.” and merlin collapses into heaving sobs against him and doesn’t get back up for a long time.

#bbc merlin #merlin #bbc leon #sir leon #sir leon the long suffering #i know arthur forgave him #in his own way #but i don’t want merlin to be forgiven #i want someone to tell him he had nothing to be sorry for #i want someone to be proud of him #‘you always looked so small then’ leon tells him several centuries later #‘i never could figure out what great burden could weigh you down so much’ #‘destiny is one of the heaviest things i’ve ever felt’ merlin says #‘heavier than despair?’ leon asks him ‘heavier than grief?’ #‘the only thing heavier’ merlin replies ‘was being left without purpose.’ #merlin writers really said merry christmas!! your gift is trauma

What if Aziraphale knew what kind of effect it would have when he offered to restore Crowley to full angelic status. What if Crowley walking away was what he wanted? What he needed to keep him safe? Aziraphale just never expected the kiss.

What if “Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death,” wasn’t just the name of a coffee shop, but also a threat? What if all of the lies we saw him told (Job’s children…The Miracle…), the performances we saw him put on (The Jane Austen ball…the Magician act) was all a lead up to his biggest lie yet? “You’re demons, you’re evil.”

What if that was what Aziraphale thought he needed to do to keep Crowley from putting himself in danger to “rescue” him one last time?

What if Aziraphale didn’t want to reform Heaven so much as he wanted to rip it up by the roots and tear it apart, so it can never hurt Crowley again?

What if he knew.

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #aziracrow #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #ineffable divorce #this is a whole lot of nothing #my brain is a melted cocktail of despair and sadness #I needed season 3 like yesterday #it’s fun to speculate #but I think that it’s also an incredible character arc if Aziraphale truly still believed Heaven could still be changed #BUT it’s suspicious as hell that we never actually saw Aziraphale’s reaction to the Metatron’s initial offer #im just SAYING. ITS SUSPICIOUS #And I also just love BAMF!Aziraphale marching into Heaven to fuck it UP

We are one Iowa caucus into the absolute shitshow that is going to be the US 2024 elections, and I'm already sick of seeing takes downplaying the risk that Trump and his fascist followers represent.

Look. Around 1900, my mother's grandparents immigrated to the Lower East Side of New York City. They brought with them children born in Europe (Poland? Ukraine? which country they were in depends on what year we're talking about) - we're not 100% sure they were THEIR children, even, but there were three, and they were young, and they came. But my great-grandparents had siblings, parents, cousins, uncles, aunts, huge families. And while my understanding is that an attempt was made to convince those folks to move to the US, none of them ultimately opted to.

They all kept in touch as they were able, exchanging letters and pictures, but through World War 1, through the 20s, through the Great Depression, through the worsening situation in Europe in the 1930s, my entire extended family who chose not to immigrate...continued to stay.

I think we all know how this story ends.

I have an entire family photo album of people whose names I will never know, because after every single one of them died in the Holocaust, my great-grandparents and grandparents couldn't bear to even label them. And they were PEOPLE, poor, vibrant, eager to maintain connections with their loved ones abroad. One was a Klezmer musician, and we have photos of him with all the different instruments he played. They're so real on the page, and they all ended in ashes.

And you know how that started? Fascism started with every inch allowed, with every well-intentioned moderate who tried to maintain a middle position even as the whole ground shifted right beneath their feet and even "middle" became extreme, every "no that change isn't coming fast enough, I want instant full improvement NOW" liberal who felt that doing nothing was better than accepting a slower improvement in the (truly awful!) post-World War 1 living situation in Germany.

Most of the members of my extended family also downplayed the risks. They never imagined that the worst could happen to them. They never fathomed how bad things could become.

And now I have their example always before me to know and to scream:

I KNOW HOW BAD THINGS CAN BECOME. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY THEN.

I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY NOW.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I say I've got our passports ready (and have had since before the 2020 election).

Look. I don't know what will happen if Trump is elected, but there's a very real possibility he will, and he's been extremely clear about saying what he'll do. He did a lot of the things he said he'd do last time. I expect he'll continue to do the things he says he'll do. And the things he say he'll do will lead to the deaths of more people than we can imagine - in the US, in Palestine, throughout the world.

Don't tell me there's a middle ground here. Don't tell me I'm over-reacting. Don't tell me the worst won't happen. Don't tell me the risk is mild. Don't tell me we're safe.

We. Are. Not. Safe.

The lives of dozens, hundreds, of members of family were lost in the 1940s amid the horrifying statistic "6,000,000 dead Jews."

I will not let my life (as a Jew), my wife's life (as a disabled woman), my son's life (as a biracial boy), my daughter's life (as a biracial trans girl), be part of the statistics that come from our a second Trump presidency.

If you won't vote like YOUR life depends on it, vote like someone ELSE'S life depends on it, because IT DOES.

And if you can't even do that much, at least shut the fuck up and stop spreading your poison around. You're wrong. The danger is real. Downplaying it now won't make your conscience feel any clearer when it actually happens, and comforting everyone else downplaying it will just make you that much more complicit.

#unforth rambles #politics #us politics #genocide #genocide tw #i don't know how to tag this #i wish the album was here instead of at my mom's #i want every one of you who think this doesn't matter #to stare at the smiling faces of my long-dead relatives #and see these people who were shot and stabbed and burned and raped and destroyed #who died in rebellion or despair in hopelessness or desperation #no matter how much or how little they fought #they're all ashes now and nothing will bring them back #i have no family in europe #not a single person survived #i won't let my family be the ones who stay too long because we don't take it seriously #and neither should you

i laugh about it but also!!! the moment in eeaao where alpha wong tells evelyn that she's living her worst life is just!!! IT'S JUST SO!!! HMM!!! makes me think. because like. that's the thing right. their life is actually kind of shitty yk? her business is not a success, they're literally buried under the pile of their failed ambitions. everything very objectively sucks!!! and it's like that's. someone's worst fear. i know it's mine. that you'll blink and it'll be 25 years years and you're barely holding it together. career, husband, kid — every. thing is a mess..and you're just. making it all worse against your own better judgement because you're so overwhelmed with a kind of grief and loneliness and sorrow and goddddd like. like. that's terrifying. the prospect of that life is so terrifying. and EEAAO looked at this woman and it said. yeah. you know what. it sucks. you actually did fail spectacularly at everything. but you're here. and you can decide to embrace this reality. and put googly eyes on your laundry bags and hug your daughter anyway. because life is unpredictable, and you did what you could, but the point of it all is to steal what little love and joy you can from it. and it's just. okay. I'm emotional about that i am..

#im too young to actually relate to despair of this kind maybe idk but i do #because like. i keep saying..i have been stuck at home for like 4 years bc of circumstances and i feel #i feel like everything I've done has been for both #nothing* #but then. idk. i go out to lunch with a friend and it feels like that's enough for a moment #and maybe it is #MAYBE it's okay that it is #maybe that's the whole point #eeaao #nonsense post im so sorru #doe is talking again
