Meursault has great taste in women and horrible taste in men but that's ok we still love him
Hey. Word of advice.
If you’re gonna post ship hate can you Please think for two seconds and not put it in the ship’s tag 😭
i just had an idea.
whenever you see this post, please open up the notes, go to the reblogs tab, find the latest reblog WITHOUT COMMENTS, and then reblog that one.
dont add comments or tags when you reblog, just post it as-is. and dont just reblog whichever one ended up on ur dash, you might fuck up the chain. also, dont queue it, that will probably also fuck up the chain.
i want the reblog ball graph for this post to just be one long, continuous chain. a long snakey bitch. we can do it. i believe in us. we got this. its snake time babey
i have no regrets and i'm absolutely not sorry for this :)
you can take it and draw absolutely any character you want with him :00
i just really need to go to sleep now so :/
I'm sorry but Quixote and Sinclair aren't minor coded i dunno how to tell you this but ppl can be short asf
i feel like gregors roach traits could be read as allegories for PTSD/trauma. obviously the way he got them was a very traumatic experience, but i wanna focus on the war shit and the other genetically modified veterans we see. Like how he grows more buggy when he gets really stressed, and the more traumatized he gets the less physically human he becomes (because trauma dehumanizes you!!). and when he survives the war and tries to live a normalish life, the one thing that keeps it from happening is his cockroach arm. It won’t go away, even if he tries to cut it off, and it lashes out indiscriminately much to his scorn and resentment. like that scene in the subway where it attacks that woman seemed to be followed by mentions of the war and thoughts of it on greg’s part. I also think that the way gregor and all the other insectoid smoke war vets who turned to enkephalin (can’t say i blame them:( ) couldn’t get their lives back and were used and thrown away is like obvs a statement on how the govt/war machine/military industrial complex treats (disabled, but that’s another text post for another time) veterans. not to mention the fact that gregor explained they were operated on without their consent!! gregor and co are seen as disposable, disgusting insects who are less than human. i also think there’s something to be said about the fact that he’s a cockroach specifically. yes, they’re viewed as gross, disgusting pests but they’re also survivors. no matter how disgusting people think they are they don’t die in water and they can literally survive decapitation. also like the way trauma makes you feel so disgusting and tainted and like how your own mind and body don’t belong to you. he can’t look at him own arm/body without remembering that his own mother decided to surgically experiment on him… he consistently talks down on himself for being a roach human hybrid or whatever. he makes me so sad. the way other people treat him like he’s gross too like omfg it makes me sooo mad. he has endured so much dehumanization on so many different fronts :( i hope he has a good support system. anyways i like gregor hes a dilf cockroach milking
bitter *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ sweet !!
Today is my birthday!! I didn't have the time or energy to do my usual much bigger pieces, and I actually intended on doing a comic for this year... which didn't happen. hehe. anyway.
this year was wonderful. ups and downs as usual, but I'm slowly but surely learning to live life a little bit more every day. I'm growing more confident in my art, my skills, and I'm learning to live better, more independently. It's a rough ride, but... it's necessary.
Thank you to everyone who's around me. Thank you for being there for me here and now. Here's to 27 years passed, and here's to more to come!
*clutching head* rodya and meursault would have such a good dynamic actually
I wonder if rodya would initially see meursault's indifference as like. a simpler version of her own feigned carefreeness and as a deliberate attempt to place himself as an outsider... only to realise that No, he really Is just Like That. and then she gets annoyed because it turns out that people who don't care about anything don't seem to be any fun.
(ofc he does actually care about a lot of things, just not necessarily his grander place in the world lol)
idk. nihilism vs absurdism. fun duo 👍 rodya would find meursault's genuine comfort with being a speck of dust in the universe baffling, while he would probably find her desire to assert her own importance pointless, but they could probably bond over little things like their shared desire to live in the present and appreciation of/indulgence in earthly joys. and meursault would probably listen if rodya wants to rant about anything without asking any uncomfortable questions. I think they could appreciate each other's presence.
i dont know if requests are open but i would love to see how you adapt demian in your own art style!
This is the fastes Demian I have ever drawn (this is the first time I have ever drawn him)
ALSO feel free to ask for doodle request or asking for my opinions on stuffs I like reading those even if I can't get to all of it :)
