I don't give a shit about you.

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.

“The letter about curses, the letter about the fact that Koral Tachonis was basically saying like, yeah, this scar bypasses all protections, but the Drowned Men get around that by selling their soul to someone else. And we can't grab it because it's not, owing your soul to a fairy is not a protection. On a dirty 20, the Old Path is very old, and it had to survive thousands of years under the oppression of the Shapers. So a lot of it comes down in folk stories and songs and rhymes and superstitions. One of the oldest superstitions is disrespecting a corpse at a funeral causes you to be haunted by the ghost of that you have disrespected.”

"This is Tachonis bullshit!" Sir Julien Davinos crashes out after learning that Thjazi Fang is bound to his shadow.

Forgot to post this, this has been sitting in my drafts. The way Whitney jumps when Matt lets out a very loud FUCK! just adds so much to the scene. Have some CR4 crumbs y'all. We gotta get through this dry spell together somehow.

thjazi living in julien’s shadow is peak story telling even if it’s really on the nose

Some Julien sketches based on Matt's amazing facial features (and a bonus Occtis). This was equal parts fun and frustrating - it's a fun exercise, but dang if it isn't tricky. There was a lot more I wanted to do, but I just hit that point where everything starts to look bad, so I have to just call this sketch page done. So these are a bit all over the place, but hey, practice is practice.

julien, after being called rude: "sorry i've had a long night." occtis, quietly: "he has..."

Where's that tweet about how American chants are "let's go [team name] and some other country (Irish?) fans are "I've made up a song about the other team's drinking problem to the tune of London Bridge Is Falling Down one two three"?

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way
