reblog for something t4t to happen to you this summer.
This comic was among the wips I lost in last year’s hard drive crash, but I have resurrected it since I am currently (re)reading the novels and back in all of feelings. (Also back on my book canon/cql designs agenda) Mo Xuanyu…canon was not kind to you, but I can be 😔
people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to
your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:
- Befriend
- Tell story
- Make Thing
- Investigate
- Share knowledge
- Laugh
- Sing
- Dance
- Empathize with
- Create
we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands
your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way
~“Your primal instincts are not bathed in blood.”
My god this is beautiful. Such a refreshing change of pace to the constant glorification of instinctual human violence.
i Love vaccines, autism, abortions, homosexuals, sex changes and crime
not to be dramatic but i think i’ve peaked as an artist (inspired by this beautiful comic by cykelops)
[id: four sequential digital drawings of Vespa Ilkay, Buddy Aurinko, and Jet Sikuliaq from The Penumbra Podcast. Vespa is a short, thin, medium-brown-skinned South Asian woman with hazel eyes and short dark green hair with the right side (Vespa’s right) shaved. she has some burn-like scarring on her face that makes it uneven in places she is wearing a short-sleeved black jacket with a circular collar, dark green trousers, and has white bandage wraps around her wrists. Buddy is a tall, fat black woman with a mass of curly dark red hair that covers the left half (Buddy’s left) of her face, pieces of dark grey skin peeking out. she has dark green eyes and is wearing a plain purple dress with split straps and a chest window. Jet is a taller Native man with light brown skin, dark brown eyes, and dark grey hair with a messy fringe and a short ponytail. he has pale veiny scarring on his face and a bit of stubble. he is wearing a brown leather jacket over a dark grey shirt, black fingerless gloves, beige cargo pants, and a belt with utility pockets attached.
1: Vespa, Buddy, and Jet stand in a line (left to right) with Buddy holding one hand of each of them. Vespa is smiling at Buddy, Buddy is smiling straight ahead, and Jet has a neutral expression, looking off to his left. Buddy is saying with a speech bubble, “This is my wife, Vespa, and my QPP, Jet.”
2: the same setup, but Buddy is pulling Vespa and Jet’s hands closer together as she looks down at them and says, “Oh! There’s Rita, I must speak with her.” both Jet and Vespa are looking down at their hands, confused.
3: Buddy has left the frame, and Vespa and Jet are holding hands. Vespa smiled awkwardly up at Jet, while he looks neutrally at her. from off-panel, a speech bubble attributed to Buddy says, “Rita, darling!”
4: Vespa and Jet continue to hold hands. Jet looks directly at the viewer to say deadpan, “This is my wife-in-law, Vespa. She is married to my queerplatonic partner, Buddy.” Vespa’s face turns cartoonish, opening her mouth in a V shape to say “HA!” with a teary eye and her shoulders riding up, right hand splayed out. /end id]

I love Vespa to bits, she's truly one of my favorite characters out there and I wanna draw her more!

I just wish I could learn every language and all the histories and about everyone's food and folklore and... 😔 but i only have one brain and it is small and malfunctioning
God I love how Wei Wuxian died in a classical tragedy and woke up in a buddy cop flick
listen the fact that the same guy:
- voiced zagreus
- voiced skelly
- voiced Orpheus’ singing voice
- composed the entire soundtrack for Hades as well as all the other Supergiant Games
like…Darren Korb has THE RANGE my friends, this man blows my mind
