The Dragon Druid

By chance, I've managed tolerably. Big fan of beautiful things, spirituality, and just trying to enjoy life at the moment. I love fantasy, mythology, and Dungeons and Dragons. The Master of Hyperbole. Always willing to chat if anyone feels so inclined.

the shape of connor storrie's mouth in the opening scene is so fucking ridiculous

[nereiids]

whatever.

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

[charl0ttan]

something earth shattering going on here

this is why one of my favorite all-time paintings is Ship in Stormy Seas by Ivan Aivazovsky... he was really onto something there

a close up to just... light shining through those waves, makes me feel faint with exhilaration every time

THERE IS A BOAT BY IVAN AIVAZOVSKY!!

[clayandsorcery]

Ivan Aivazovsky could paint glowing water. One of the GOATs for sure.

trinity santos is a study in fandom misogyny because they gave her all the characteristics fandoms usually salivate for in men, being gruff, quippy and misunderstood with a tragic backstory but a heart of gold beneath it all. they put all this into her AND let her be a lesbian. she's everything you could ever want in a character but she's not a man so half the fandom either hates her or constantly mischaracterizes her as petty, callous and aggressive while doing mental gymnastics to baby the male characters around her

can i say something i love that it's never just sex for shane. i love that sex is so huge and means so much to shane for so many reasons that he says no twice. i love that sex is so overwhelming for shane that he comes fast and he comes often and he comes hands-free. i love that shane's relationship with his body is so complex that he doesn't want to undress in front of windows and the first time they hook up he doesn't want to take his pants off in front of ilya and then he asks for approval ("okay?") when he does. i love that he loves the way ilya makes him feel. i love that he lets himself be in his body and like his body and listen to his body when ilya is touching his body. i love that it is never ever just sex for shane because sex is something he had never previously enjoyed and wasn’t sure if he really did want. and then ilya shows up and suddenly there’s a channel for shane to pour all of his desire into and ilya loves it. he loves it he takes all of it with exuberance and ease and he gives as good as he gets. i love that shane learns that he actually really fucking loves sex. i love that it makes him cry i love that he begs for it i love that he actually desperately needs it, otherwise the lack of catharsis and satisfaction starts to drive him up the wall. i love that his sexuality (both his identity and his needs) are such a huge part of his fabric. i love that hudson williams said he played shane as being in love with ilya from pretty much the moment they met and it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. and i love that every time shane got fucked he was getting fucked by the person he loved. i just love it. that’s all

shane being irritated and combative is fine yes it's canon even i understand it completely. the natural order. shane being sweet and comforting and kind however is also very near and dear to my heart. sometimes he doesn't text back with a "fuck you" or "fuck off" like sometimes he replies "i'm excited to see you" sometimes "i miss you so much" sometimes "it's so hard being away from you" sometimes "my pillow smells like you" you know? we must remember that shane is notably characterized by his profound knee-jerk earnestness and his immense fondness for ilya. and while ilya definitely does like that shane is abrupt and abrasive in jest (it's part of the foreplay obviously) i think the moments where they get in a room together and shane says "hi handsome i missed you so fucking much i've been thinking about you all day come here please kiss me" are ilya's absolute favorite. cus that's a shane nobody else sees and he makes ilya feel things that nobody else has ever made him feel. shane is his person for real and shane knows it and i think at times he is so so so soft with ilya. because yes he's a snotty jock but also: that is his baby. and he loves him so much. you know?

Scott Hunters Litany against Thinking About Shane and Ilya's Bullshit

I must not think about whatever Rozanov and Hollander have going on.

whatever Rozanov and Hollander have going on is the mind-killer.

whatever Rozanov and Hollander have going on is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face whatever Rozanov and Hollander have going on.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where whatever Rozanov and Hollander have going on has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Israel passed a death penalty law that will allow them to execute Palestinian detainees many of which have been detained without due process and many of which were kids when they were detained.

This is the equivalent to camp executions the Nazis did. It's exactly the same thing

This death penalty law doesn't apply to Israelis of course because Israel is a violent apartheid

Israel passes bill mandating death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terror

The Bill's Wording Creates a Distinction Designating It Almost Exclusively for Palestinian Terror, While the Ideological Burden of Proof It

Israel's Knesset passed a bill on Monday mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly acts of terrorism. The bill stipulates that the death penalty will be imposed on a terrorist who killed a person "with the intent to deny the existence of the State of Israel."

In doing so, the bill's wording creates a distinction designating it almost exclusively for Palestinian terror, while the ideological burden of proof it sets is expected to make its application to Jewish nationalist terror nearly impossible.

Sixty-two lawmakers voted in favor of the contentious bill, including several opposition members; 48 voted against it, and one abstained. The law is now applicable in any territory that Israel functionally controls, including the West Bank and 53 percent of the Gaza Strip.

I started reading The Raven Cycle about a week ago and goshhhh, I'm in awe 😭 I got into it because of all the beautiful fanarts I've been seeing for a while now... I needed to contribute one as well. One of many more to come, most likely. I love them!!! They're so fun to draw!!

I'm only finishing the second book so please don't spoil it for me 🫢

reasons shane and ilya should be evenly matched in size, height, weight, build, strength, athleticism, etc. in canon and in fanon

i find it hot

they’re comparable generationally talented first line center professional hockey players

positioning shane as smaller/shorter/daintier than his white dom top boyfriend perpetuates racial, gender, and sexual stereotypes

i personally find it REALLY hot

when he chooses to, shane can physically overpower ilya (hockey, shoving ilya into walls i.e. vegas rooftop and stairwell scenes) but when he wants to submit in bed, he allows himself to be pushed, carried, held down, etc. because they both like it and want it

feminist scholar jane ward: "queer circuits of desire do not rely on the erotic encounter of opposites"

they can wear each other's clothes in a cozy boyfriend hoodie "give. i miss your boring laundry smell" "why the fuck are all your clothes dry clean hand wash only" long distance yearning way or post-game sweat damp base layer horny way or "gross now i have cum on my sweats i'm stealing yours" "okei yay ♥" fondly annoyed way

in conclusion have i mentioned i think it’s really hot

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

[clytemnestraaa]

ok so to me the thing about jj is like yay he's so smiley and friendly! well yeah, he's gotta be as a black man playing a really white sport. everybody loves jj! jj makes damn sure everybody loves jj. jj is the life of the party. and so to jj like... well, maybe shane gets it, right? sure shane doesn't GET it get it but he maybe gets like, something. maybe shane feels the pressure to perform and maybe shane knows what it's like to have everything you're ever doing be proving or disproving something.

and like i get the sense that jj might be who everybody calls when they want to party, but shane is the one jj calls when he wants to have a slightly more chill moment without having to be Mr Super Fun JJ. basically i can imagine them just playing xbox in silence. that's his bro. jj might be friends with everyone, but jj trusts shane.

and then who turns out to be the keeper of shane's secrets? who does shane trust?
