my knight-monk agenda strikes again, but this was less of a 'I read something that made me experience several emotions and a strike of inspiration at once,' and more of a 'wouldn't it be fucked up if the bejeweled skeleton saints came to life and and started. eating people. or something. in revenge. medieval catholic horror, or an older horror of not being buried right. zombies, even. a complete bastardization of holy visuals. zombies.'

it's a far away idea, but I still wanted to play around with font layouts. like, if I DID make it into a full comic: these would be visual vibes, perhaps.

it's also a little bit about the kind of intimacy that these kinds of spaces provide, or in the case of this monk: the heavy trauma of war and the death of your brother, the escape to a secluded monastery, spiritual brotherhood to make up for your dead brother, but your role as a physician keeps pulling you back to this violence you want to escape. physician, heal thyself, only you have a holy calling to serve those in need, so instead: physician, open up your wounds again. saint jude, patron saint of lost causes, give us a fucking hand here, man. amen.

Homosexuality in the Renaissance: Behavior, Identity, and Artistic Expression, James M. Saslow

and this one is about earlier history than the medieval period that this comic is set in, but the monk character is sort of an exploration of earlier themes. a little bit. I like overlapping eras with each other, I've done it before and I'll do it again. this character is an exploration of some other stuff too, but mostly this book was interesting to read

From Monastery to Hospital: Christian Monasticism and the Transformation of Health Care in Late Antiquity, Andrew T Crislip

#i almost made him a benedictine monk but then we would've been reaching territory i do not feel like suffering through #generic medieval tag #i had more tags but i started talking politics and honestly if im going to talk politics i think its better to just make a post about it #i dont actually talk politics on tumblr even tho a lot of my work is extremely political in its subtext/text #because i think that tumblr is very annoying for that. its so anglo-american-western centric in its political theory #and i am WELL beyond that. i use twitter for politics because i love suffering lmao but also its like. still better for getting stuff done #komiks tag

anyway im tired of people treating Disney (corporate) and Disney (writing and directing staff) as a monolith. yes Disney (corporate) funds massive anti gay legislature. yes Disney (corporate) only recognizes demographics in terms of how much profit they can bring. but trans guy in Baymax isn't an evil trap put there by the shareholders to draw in queers and wring us of money. the trans guy in Baymax exists because in the writing room a bunch of storyboarders and storytellers were spitballing "hey, what people do we need here?" and one of the answers that came up was "trans guy" from a person who sincerely believed that representation was not only valuable but necessary. there are real people making every choice you see and hear. you can hate how corporate feigns blasé without assuming it's all some premeditated plan. you can be rightfully suspicious of corporate motivation without erasing the artists with their own motivations

#this doesnt just apply to baymax but its the most recent example #it can be forgiven that people dont know/think about how the indistry works #but if youre going to critique the actions of a company you need to be aware that not every party involved would do the same thing #and before anyone clowns: #disney has a monopoly on western entertainment and production and animators routinely bounce between jobs #nobody who disagrees w Disney policy can afford to *just leave* disney

Much has been said about the resiliency and indomitable spirit of the Palestinians but they're not superhuman. They're just people, having to survive an atrocity because what's the alternative?

It's been crushing to see the tone of Motaz's posts in the last weeks. It's the same confusion and hurt you see from so many journalists and humanitarians, and a lot of young people everywhere too, including across the West, where it's like, all right, a horrible thing is clearly happening in front of our eyes, the world will stop it. And...it's not? It's actually helping it happen?

#israel #palestine #free palestine #gaza #news #motaz azaiza #he's done the work to show us #and asking for a ceasefire #and the powerful western governments refuse to call for one because...?

i thought some old hollywood fans who follow you might want to know that there’s huge auction of film memorabilia going on right now and for a mere 500 us dollars someone can own omar sharif’s coat from doctor zhivago! it’s on the website Heritage Auctions.

Knowing I could own Danny Kaye's silly little jester outfit for 1.5k is making me insane actually

#i did not need to know about this. also @ western costume company please call me i will work in your archive 4 free #asks

its so weird seeing posts that mock uncle jim for worrying about li ming's queerness as though his dead boyfriend's parents (legally) stealing his entire life savings and leaving him to manage a restaurant business specifically because gay couples aren't legally recognized as couples wasn't what put him in a cycle of crushing debt and endless poverty in the first place

#yeah hi CONTEXT MATTERS #can western fandom pls stop ignoring this shows biting social commentary on queer people not being legally recognized #also heart is the darling of all time BUT his careless lie literally forced li ming to work off a debt that was never his #and wouldve seriously impacted jim's business and financial state had wen not offered to work free #which was a boon but having to live on someone elses generosity like that is still a stress #because people (understandably!!!!) can and do get tired of giving away a lot of time and energy for nothing #wen is uncommonly generous and luckily its not too long before other circumstances help lift jim to safer footing #but none of that was SECURE getting to that point #jim is right to worry! it comes out badly and li ming's queerness is not the actual issue but jims reasoning is EXTREMELY UNDERSTANDABLE #sighs #moonlight chicken

i get the feeling sonic fandom at large isnt fond of big stylistic differences between humans and mobians but i think when done right u can make it look so charming tbh... so whimsical.. like fuckin uh. winnie the pooh

#works rlly well in sonic x esp since theyre literally from different worlds... #the divide between cartoony western style & almost realistically proportioned anime serve to highlight how alien they are to us!!! #that sense of wonder and fantasy coming into our boring human lives. ykwim #blingee art #shadow #maria #sth #also i lov shoujo maria
