Rest in peace Akihiro Miwa (1935-2026)

I haven't seen anyone talking about this and just wanted to make a quick post on here.

Akihiro Miwa recently passed away peacefully june 20th, and was not only a drag queen and a queer icon, but also the japanese voice of Arceus in the movie Arceus and the jewel of life, as well as the witch from Howl's moving castle and Moro from Princess Mononoke.

Rest in peace and thank you for the wonderfull impact you made in this world.

Almost didn’t manage to draw up anything for pride month, oops! Maybe I should do a pride moth as well (thanks autocorrect)

Didn’t turn out the way I intended, but it doesn’t matter because loons are always a win.

99% watercolor with some colored pencil details that you can’t really see. Gotta get the rust out somehow.

"We keep ploughing on, through the dark and polluted waters—my prophet and me."

Happy pride month but specifically to the Widow of Wounds and her Rootkeeper! This is a commission piece by the fantastic Stes @anthureums, who took my frenzied powerpoint presentation of vague references and ramblings and turned them into this achingly beautiful masterpiece. Go check out their art on twitter at @/alamangoes!

@thesiltverses remains one of my favorite audio dramas of all time, and the bond between Paige and Hayward has been living in my brain rent-free even years after the story has come to an end. I adore the way they depend on and inspire each other, and Stes captured that awful tenderness between them beautifully.

Some design notes under the read more:

Paige's outfit is inspired by mourning dresses, armor, and hazmat suits, as she is the Widow leading a rebel faith in what's basically TSV's Chernobyl site

Hayward's outfit is a blend of scavenging survivor and knight; you can see how his elements are matching with Paige (blows 3000 kisses to Stes for fleshing out these design details)

The flowers on the Wound Tree are based on crocus flowers BUT a bit more flesh colored, as they are ultimately feeding off of flesh and blood

The whale bones surrounding the two of them are a direct reference to season 2, chapter 12, where a whale gets caught in the emergence of the Wound Tree

proposing a new genre of fiction called an anti-romance where u r presented w a couple at the start & the story is about their emotional journey towards a catastrophic break up

[stephexmachina]

will they won't they (end this farce). there's only one bed (but for some reason they don't really want to share it). out of context eavesdropping (that paints the relationship in a better light than it deserves). chasing after them to stop them getting on that plane (and stopping them from finally being free)

[stephexmachina]

nobody understands my vision i don't mean any old story where a relationship fails and it's tragic or w/e i mean a story where the intention is for the audience to root for it failing the same way u root for it succeeding in a romance. & when the relationship finally implodes at the climax of the story it's all very cathartic & everybody cheers.

[stephexmachina]

like have u never wanted a fictional couple to break up so badly it hurt?

Finally read E. W. Hornung's Raffles books. I kept hearing about it for ages, of course, but always thought it's just something between Holmes and Poirot, never expected it would be so -

"It was Raffles I loved. It was not the dark life we led together, still less its base rewards; it was the man himself, his gayety, his humor, his dazzling audacity, his incomparable courage and resource. "

Bunny is so gone. Also, the fact that it's written by Doyle's brother-in-law somehow makes it even better.

You probably got this question before but genuinely, why do you hate Paul so much?

paul's words and ways of thinking, or those attributed to him, were some of the most damaging to me in my fundamentalist background. regardless of what he might have "really meant" in context or how we can now interpret his writings in different and less harmful ways, for nearly 2000 years he has been used to justify sexism and homophobia and body negativity in the church, and while he is obviously far from the only culprit i find it unhelpful to dismiss that reality by saying e.g. he was only talking to a specific community/maybe he wasn't really talking about gay people/actually he was being progressive for his time by letting women in church at all/etc. and such rationales often do have truth to them, but for me they're not enough to counteract the issues.

christianity as we know it is more the religion of paul (and plato and i would say constantine as well) than christ, and i kind of resent that and often wonder what it might have been without these figures (if it would have survived). i don't necessarily think paul set out to make this the case, and it's not his fault that his letters preceded the other texts about jesus that have made their way to us, but it does frustrate me. i think it's questionable that his writing was canonized while some other things weren't. i would like to hope paul would be upset by people placing his words on the same level as christ's and by the way his letters have been used, but idk.

also i do think he comes across as a deeply insufferable arrogant asshole, often.

also, i have fallen off horses many times and gotten a concussion once and while i have not had vivid hallucinations and started a new religion as a result, i can see how that could feasibly happen. i'm not quite on the "paul was just a lying con man" train that i've seen other people hop on because i do think he made some good points and i think his conversion was probably genuine, but i'm also not super convinced about his whole deal.

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service
