jesus is called a lord but anyone with even a passing knowledge of classpect theory will peg him as a muse of life straight away

[electric-nope]

Hey? I love you? But I’m going to break into your house and demand that you never make a post like this again

[captorations]

moses was a rogue of breath

[electric-nope]

This is your final warning.

[captorations]

eve was a thief of doom and there’s nothing you can do about it

[invisibleoctopus]

satan is the lord of doom which is the opposite master class of muse of life dont EVEN play

[captorations]

nah. satan is passive too. he tempts, but never acts. bard of doom

[karkittysbeats]

Okay, but is Eve really the thief of doom? I mean, she herself wasn’t very active at all. The only thing she ever stole she did while under the influence of what was probably the world’s first Vriska.

[captorations]

Vriska was constantly under the influence of others, but her decisions were still her own. And it’s more about what Eve’s story meant to the rest of humanity that defines her classpect. That said, I think I might stop responding to further comments on this post, because actual literal Satan being called “the world’s first Vriska” very nearly killed me on impact.

messed up that you can literally be better and nicer in every way and the adventuring party will still be like "waaa its a shapeshifter waaaa the real whatstheirface would never say that" like ok maybe i am a picture perfect copy of your friend that i imprisoned beneath the earth and replaced when you werent looking. so what. maybe they were a cunt. maybe i thought youd appreciate an improved version of your friend. with awesome eldritch tendrils.

Sorry it took so long to post this sdjkndsjknksf It's been in two art galleries though so that's cool.

I finished this way before I installed my photoshop recording plug in. So no process video. I actually don't know if I can get a process video out of my super big pieces (this is 18x24" 500 dpi) cause I'm trying to export one right now and it's just freezing lmao.

Anyway enjoy lmao.

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

[minothtime]

Basically, a translation could be:

I just think it's so interesting that people end up falling in love with their friends' boyfriends! I absolutely despise every single one of them. give me my fucking homie back you goddamn bastard

[liminalweirdo]

translation tags by @minothtime because they are so so good

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

[deadchannelradio]

not enough in comics or in fan spaces about how damian is going to be crack cocaine to all of the little protogoths in middle and high school. theyre going to be hanging off of him. they're going to be obsessed. think about it. hes catnip. hes not even goth but he kind of seems like a vampire. hes their boytoy wednesday addams. manic pixie dream boy. and nobody is talking about how it's kind of dick's worst nightmare.

[deadchannelradio]

i know these little baby goths i do. they're all trying to one up each other. damian has like 5 different peoples wisdom teeth and a bunch of necklaces that are just little vials of blood. talia is also shriveling a little because her beautiful little boy (who is borne of her, a well dressed woman, and her beloved, a well dressed man) had some sticky goth teenagers get their fingers into his closet and now he's wearing ankle length jean skirts. habibi i am glad you have clothes you enjoy but could they perhaps be silk or velvet or at least not demin?

[deadchannelradio]

hes a little brown edward cullen to them. they think hes maybe a vampire i'm being very serious about that. he's just a rich ESL student but they don't know that. "he's so mysterious" you are just twelve and he is not american. he's catnip. he's a quiet artist type and he was raised by Talia al Ghul. he's memorized Shakespeare. hes designed to trap goth people. hes not even goth. but like you look at him and youre like He could be goth. I could goth that. He could goth. they're fighting over him but also they're all just his friends he's been absorbed into the goths.

[deadchannelradio]

i think they make him do theatre. he's not interested at first (and he is not built to do anything contemporary.) but one day one of them is like begging him and he's like. "No Mariposa And You Should Cease Asking. Theatre Does Not Align With My Interests." and shes like okay well whatever I'm going to go learn swordfighting for Romeo and Juliet and damian is like. "Lead the way to the theatre." he's off book by day 2 and the teacher has to be like. very impressive but please pretend. everyone else is feeling bad. he gets to be hamlet in hamlet.

[deadchannelradio]

he ends up getting his little goth club into exercising regularly because half of them follow him everywhere and the other half follows the first half and then suddenly there's a goth army learning ballroom dance. Imagine walking into a high school dance class/club and there's like 10 goths clustered in a corner in full corpsepaint in leotards and little ballet shoes. this would be the best day of my life.

[deadchannelradio]

it keeps dick up at night. hes not ready to become a grandpa at 29. alfred tries to comfort him by showing him young posergoth bruce (who got ZERO pussy) and dick is like. alfred. thank you i will treasure this forever. but this is not a comfort. he's laying awake in bed at night like The only way this doesn't end with me being alfred in a talia and bruce situation is if jon kent swoops in and saves the day. which will then make me the alfred in a bruce and clark situation. my life is a nightmare.

[deadchannelradio]

the only thing keeping him from the worst case scenario (being the alfred in a bruce and khoa situation) is that jon snapped up the best friend slot so early that damian doesn't have the time or space to ever collect another best friend to become psychosexually obsessed with. dick is so acutely aware of this. more than once he has thanked jon to his face excruciatingly sincerely to his face for no reason. he's like Jon. Thank you. I genuinely cannot thank you enough. and jons like. i just got you some water but youre welcome. jon thinks he is so weird but like well. people have been weirder so it's probably fine

[deadchannelradio]

and bruce is no help. Dick is like barging into his office to be like "Damian is dating a new girl at school" and bruce is like Please don't talk to me about this dick my head already hurts. and dick is like "you need to be informed about the social life of Your child. She's given him a vial of her blood on a necklace." bruce voice richard PLEASE.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.
