Jessica Rabbit for @creatingblackcharacters ’s Melanin Beam Challenge! I always thought Megan Thee Stallion would make the perfect Jessica Rabbit. Everyone say Happy Birthday to Mrs. CBC!

Spiderman Brand New Day gave me vertigo so bad I threw up. The vertigo girlies should know that It has a lot of intense motion sickness inducing scenes, much more than the previous Spidermans. They keep putting you in surprise spin cycles, and I dont even mean the scenes where Spiderman is swinging through buildings.

(it was good tho I liked it more than Far From Home)

#posting on main hopefully this warning reaches more of my dizzy comrades #spoilers but I guess this is kind of a 4D spidey hormone imbalances simulator #the spinny cam? kinda gratuitous! once was enough!#spiderman brand new day

And Thetis, in tears, said to him:

"I won't have you with me for long, my child, if you say such things. Hector's death means yours."

From under a great weight, Achilles answered:

"Then let me die now. I was no help to him when he was killed out there. He died far from home, and he needed me to protect him."

-The Iliad, book 18.

My illustration for the Sing, O Muse! zine, coming out this July

My internet was down for the whole evening yesterday, so I put on some McDull movies in the background while I work. I don't think I realized as a kid how sad McDull is as a cartoon about a silly little pig raised by a loving single mother in Hong Kong. Like it's always about cherishing the joy of the present, but in the way it's said by someone who is full of grief.

#His kindergarten is at risk of foreclosure #his neighborhood is getting bought out by developers #him being bad at school no matter how he tries.#his mom buying a plot of land for her own future burial and thinking out loud about how someday she'll never have to worry ever again???#all of these are the backdrop of McDull's hijinks with mom and friends #@ all Hongkongers- ykwim? why is McDull so fucking sad to rewatch as an adult!!#Hong Kong #hong kong cinema #mcdull #ali babble #i fucking love McDull dude but it breaks my heart sometimes

I’ve been thinking about the amount of emphasis of “long haired Achaeans” in the Iliad like does that mean Trojan men wore short hair, in contrast? Please let me know what’s out there guys, there’s less to go on about this than the whole Xanthos translation with Menelaus’s hair

A sketch I made of Paris, Hector and Andromache based on that idea.
