I do also believe however that many of the emotions driving people to claim they have no culture are emotions that are real and important it's just that people are identifying the wrong thing as the problem. yeah you're isolated and lonely and alienated and you struggle with feeling a genuine connection or like there is a space for you in your community! that's real as hell. but that isn't "having no culture"
i wasnt gonna go out for my bigulp until AFTER i worked on art today but the demons inside me are screaming for aspartame so time to march my gay ass down to the 711 where they will make fun of me for being addicted to soda. so it FUCKING goes!!!!!!!!!!!
My (Russian) dad, who has lived in Australia for 50 years, after getting off the phone with a Ukrainian contractor who has also lived in Australia for a long time: "why can we get along with Ukrainians here but Putin can't over there??"
its so funny when a fandom like assigns one character as the token abusive ex boyfriend for angst fanfics and makes them out to be the WORST most irredeemable person thats EVER lived and then the source material continues on and they're just a normal guy who was mean to the main characters that one time

imma just say that if y’all think women refusing to wear corsets as a part of their costumes in film/entertainment is “pointless” or “white feminism” or whatever buzzword you want to apply your support of the SAG-AFTRA strike is virtually meaningless and you simply want brownie points and clout
Oh hoh hoooo, Roy gives such "When Ferguson introduced CO92 to us 30 years ago, I didn't give a rat's ass. Because I didn't understand why people care so much about their dumb junior players… until I got a dumb junior player myself. I've now known Gary for 30 years, and if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself" vibes
He loves him (platonically) but is so annoyed about it. Such a big bro/dad vibe.
he's got SUCH big brother vibes like he's always teasing Gary about his footballing abilities but when asked a straight question he Always says 'Gary was a really excellent player and a hard worker and we were lucky to have him'. and ohohohoooo every time Gary mentions something insane that Fergie would put him through you can see his hackles go UP like he is ready to KILL for this boy.... I looooove their dynamic
the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin
this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.
you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.
also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.
