History Nut or something like that

Well as you can see from my title, I am quite the history nut. And I have no idea wtf I'm doing. || I tend to write random shit at my own leisure. xD ||

I’m paying tribute to my grandfather.

I loved how amamiya just quietly sat right next to kobayashi in companionship. There was barely any dialogue in this scene and yet amamiya knew exactly what to do to give some measure of comfort to his friend. I loved how the gesture was so simple and unassuming, but the message was strong and clear. That amamiya wouldn’t leave his friend in his time of grief, even though kobayashi didn’t ask him to stay.

Drew my favourite carousel horse as Sleipnir and then that turned into drawing other horses from this carousel as figures from mythology/fantasy/folklore and now it won’t feel Complete unless I figure out something for the whole outer row, but there are 12 of them SOS

Great news, looking into this lead to me learning about Hinduism’s Uchchaihshravas, who has 7 heads. I have a preliminary list now for what the rest could be but some are um.. less than ideal, so I would happily take more ideas

Wasn’t sure about doing a centaur because picking a style for the human half felt like a whole thing, but I had a Fantasia-related epiphany and now she’s one of my favourites? Also looking into physical characteristics of kelpies I found ‘backwards hooves’ which on the one hand sells it and on the other I viscerally hate.

Most & least obvious ones so far. Wanted to do one of the horses in mythology that brings the morning across the sky, but a chariot would be too big so Greek was out & beyond being bright-maned Skinfaxi doesn’t really look like anything. But maybe just attaching the sun..? And then yeah a unicorn.

Thestral! Two left, and unfortunately this is only the beginning of the uhh.. spooky section.

Ti.....kbalang..........

Last and absolute most horrific! Big “thanks I hate it” to Scotland for the nuckelavee - like no skin alone is bad enough, and then we also get the torso and the one eyeball??

Anyway that’s all 12 of the outermost horses on the carousel I grew up loving, converted into gods and monsters. Thank you for indulging this spiral.

It’s a tough world out there. There are a lot of people worse off than I am. Yet even so, still there are nights where I think I’m unfortunate. I hope this bar can be a space, like a blank void, that gently warms you up in such times. 🍷 Three Star Bar in Nishi Ogikubo
