I think you guys will appreciate this little abomination

[thesnadger]

Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

[thesnadger]

Monster that feeds on suffering becomes a professional caretaker for people with chronic pain and terminal illnesses. They can't change the fact that these people are suffering, but they help a bit and in the meantime they're fat and happy off that Sweet Sweet ambient pain in the air.

Two towns over there's a demon lord trying to get their cult to abduct people for torture, but they keep getting stopped by heroes and the like, so they're barely scraping by. Meanwhile Belogarth the Registered PCA is chowing down on back pain, medication side effects and looming mortality for eight hours a day and has become the most powerful demon on earth without realizing it.

[thesnadger]

"But don't their clients feel weird knowing that they're feeding off their suffering?" No they think it's hilarious and they're real shits about it.

[bladeangelx]

Finally a medical professional who believes that they are in pain. Because the fucker is actively chowing down on your agony. Not only am I going to get treated by them I'm going to invite all of my chronically ill friends to come as well.

[tachvintlogic]

Turns out if you treat the pain then the humans will bring you more humans who are suffering. It's like a restaurant where the waiter is so impressed by your ability to eat food they're giving you more on the house

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

They say things like "well, it's a real feast day for Belogarth today!" and "if my meds are held up at customs again I'm gonna put Belogarth in a food coma" and Belogarth is the one feeling weird about it

i took a philosophy class my first year at community college, and it was the funnest shit ever - prof gave us a powerpoint and told us to fight with him when we disagreed so we could have discussions, then gave us his steam username so we could play racing games together. one time, he told us this story about a prof he had in grad school - guy was tenured, and apparently a great teacher. but he had this time built into his schedule where other profs would be in labs, experimenting, doing research, where he stood in his empty classroom with a warm cup of tea and stared out the window. for these 1.5 hour schedule blocks. and the administration would come to him and be like “dude, we’re not paying you to stare out the window, why aren’t you working?” and he’d say, “i am working. i’m a philosopher, it’s my job to contemplate the world and life and that’s what I’m doing,” and they couldn’t do shit cause he was tenured. and then every handful of years he’d pop out a book that blew everybody’s tits off and they’d get a surge of new philosophy grads come to study with him and make the school a lot of money.

So yeah, i think that’s still what being a philosopher is like

I just learned that if you scroll up really fast in a blog, you could see the dates when they were posted at the top

Orpheus is probably the biggest Hades/Persephone shipper in Hadestown.

If you’re LGBT reblog and tag with your opinion on beer.

I haven't drawn digitally or posted for the longest time but I'm trying to get a healthy habit again so here's a wip of Patrick Page's King Lear which is my self-assigned project for this week and the next. Have you seen the play while it streamed?

Y’all.

Y’all I could cry.

THE RESPECT FOR MARRIAGE ACT HAS BEEN PASSED BY BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE AND IS READY FOR BIDEN TO SIGN.

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE AND INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE ARE NOW EXPLICIT LAW OF THE LAND AND DO NOT REQUIRE “INTERPRETATION” OF THE CONSTITUTION.

The Shape of Ideas

[jargoteart]

Maybe, God puts demons in the world, for the purpose of being like a vaccine of sorts. Maybe on that night when you're finally swearing off being good, when you promise that you'll stop being nice to people who treat you like garbage, that it's your turn to be ruthless and selfish, maybe it was God who wanted you to become rude. Maybe demons are assigned on earth for the same purpose as angels. They just work differently, that's all. And maybe sometimes, even if you grew up nice and calm and well mannered, sometimes you have to learn that enough is enough and that you just have to embrace the one-way ticket to hell you were issued as a kid... Sometimes you just have to let yourself be corrupted and let hell befall everyone who takes advantage of the few you care for. I won't live long anyway.

Just a thought.
