Sometimes you scrape and sink so low/I’m shocked at what you’re capable of/And if this is the coronation, I ain’t feeling the love 

- Mabel Week Day 5 - Yew Drawn for @andromerot ‘s prompt list celebrating @mabelpodcast! I really wanted to do a No Children lyric here but tomorrow is the King and Luna, so I needed to save it. Can we get an f in chat.

- Image ID: A copic marker illustration of Sally Martin and Luna Thorn. Sally Martin is an old naked white woman with white hair and faint blood running up her face. She is upside down in the top left of the composition, with her arms spread out and over Luna Thorn, an equally naked Mexican woman with branches of yew coming out from her body and cracks like you might see in a broken mirror or window spiderwebbing out from her right cheek, which is facing towards the audience, and on her left breast. Luna’s ears are pointed and her teeth are sharpened stained with presumably Sally’s blood. Luna’s hair is silver but mixed with dark brown. They lay on a black void. End ID.

We lay here for years or for hours, your hand in my hand/So still and discreet, so long we become the flowers

- Day 4 of @andromerot ‘s @mabelpodcast Week. Prompt: Hellebore. I have to say, I’d never actually seen about half of these flowers before drawing these. Props to both Mabel and the prompt week for getting me to expand my botanical knowledge, I guess!

- Image ID: A copic marker illustration of Janet Kirk, a white young woman with long blue hair, lying on the grassy ground and kissing Eidolon “Lolo” Garcia, a Latina trans woman with short brown hair. They are both naked. There are hellebore flowers, some dark purple and others fuchsia with yellow-green leaves, across both of their bodies.

[Additional ID: The drawing is a close-up on their heads. Janet kisses Lolo's forehead, as Lolo holds Janet's head with her arms behind her head. They both have their eyes closed. End ID]

You’re just a sad song with nothing to say, about a life long wait for a hospital stay/And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to ya…

- Juniper and Lily Martin for Day 3 (theme: apple blossom) of @andromerot‘s Mabel Week, a prompt list celebrating @mabelpodcast.

-

Image ID: A copic marker illustration of Juniper, a black young woman with pointy elf ears, standing in an orange and pink river leaning over Lily Martin, a light skinned young woman lying down in the river with short dark red hair, freckles, and apple blossom flowers over her eyes and expanding out from her hair. Lily has blood running from her mouth and beneath the flowers, her eyes are closed. They are both naked.

My lover’s got humor, she’s the giggle at a funeral/knows everyone’s disapproval, should’ve worshiped her sooner

Mabel Week Day 2 - Nightshade

Based on @mabelpodcast ‘s characters and @andromerot ‘s prompt week. Am I going to draw naked wlw for this whole thing? Quite possibly. It just seems thematically appropriate, what can I say?

- Image ID: A copic marker illustration of Veratrine and Luna Thorn from the podcast Mabel. They are both naked Latina women with light-medium brown skin and deadly nightshade spots their bodies. Veratrine, the shorter woman with cropped hair similar to Anna’s in the previous drawing, leans her head on Luna’s left shoulder. The flowers are mostly spreading across her side and behind her ear. Her one visible eye is closed. Luna is taller, with long black and gray curly hair. The flowers on her mostly hang off the right side of her hair, with some crossing down her shoulder. Cracks like those you might see in a broken mirror spread across her body. She looks towards the camera with a casual, almost cocky expression. The background is several layers of green in various circular shapes. End ID.

Draw the lines where we can fire with no hesitation/Stuck in time, this cold war lacks in any real motion/Hey, hey, it’s due to us that things are lost and not so normal!

Drew a Mabelanna for day one of @andromerot​ ‘s Mabel week! Based on @mabelpodcast ‘s characters! The prompt I went with was Datura, I’m probably going to do the flower themes for all of these that I do, since I haven’t drawn flowers like this in too long.

Image ID: A copic marker illustration of Anna Limon and Mabel Martin from the podcast Mabel. They are both mixed Hispanic young women in their early twenties and they are embracing naked in front of a red background. Only their top half is visible, the composition stopping at their waist. Anna, who is closer to the camera and more visible, has slightly lighter skin, short hair, brown eyes, and one of her arms is made of charred bone. A white crown is cut out of the background hovering above her head. Mabel, who is tilted slightly to the side and rests her head on Anna’s less visible shoulder, has longer, warmer reddish hair, and her body is covered in datura flowers.

[ID: A simple black lined drawing of Mabel and Anna. Mabel bites Anna's arm with cartoonishly big and sharp teeth, and blood springs from it. Anna extends her arm and looks somewhat horrified. Text above them reads: "she's a 10 but she bites your arm a lot and it actually kind of hurts." End ID]

[ID: eight shots from ‘revolutionary girl utena’ with excerpts from a mabel podcast transcript edited onto them. anthy kneeling over utena, her mouth to her ear as she stabs her through the back. text reads: ‘i am feeling uncharitable towards you, anna, with your average life, your average losses. what am i to you, really? what use do you have for me? i am not the only girl you have ever immortalized.’

utena lying face down on the floor in her princess outfit, an expression of pain on her face as her eyes well up. text reads: ‘why don’t you crawl back to your beautiful moment with your pretty teen magazines, your perfect lip gloss shade of normalcy?’

a budding rose bush growing out of anthy’s school uniform inside the duelling arena gondola. text reads: ‘you cannot love me, anna. i am thorns and mist. do you know that? do you know what i really am? or do you only want to matter? you told me that i made you matter. i could have been anyone then, couldn’t i? i could have been any girl made of your moonlit reflection.’

anthy clutching a red phone in the darkness of akio’s planetarium, her glasses lenses opaque white as though reflecting light from the projector. text reads: ‘you had your little adventure then, anna. you had your flirtation with danger, your flirtation with the abnormal, with anything that exists outside of yourself. i will only eat you from the inside out. i am death, silver and black, come to ruin you. do you still want me now? do you still want the biting thorns of me?’

utena paused in surprise, holding a cup of tea and eating a cookie. text reads: ‘i’m sorry. i’m sorry. you don’t deserve this. i just - push and push you, until you dissolve. i am a sharp and vitriolic thing, anna; you must be unyielding. or else all we will do is hurt each other.’

anthy and utena’s fingers interlaced atop a table. they are visibly squeezing one another’s hands. text reads: ‘i have no real desire for that. despite my outbursts, despite my cruelty, i have no real desire to ever bring you anything but feral joy. if i can’t, then i will let you be.’

a close-up of anthy clutching utena’s shoulder as she stabs her, her eyes narrowed behind slightly misted glasses. text reads: ‘out here, in the mist, i can nearly hear you. in the reeds, in the bushes. why must you make yourself the villain, you’ll say, and i’ll tell you, because it is my nature. and that’s that.

utena lying face down on the floor between akio and anthy, who clutches a sword to her chest. text reads: ‘i’ll sting you, anna, and you’ll drown. and -’ /end ID]

my thesis on janet kirk + chinese satellite by phoebe bridgers

[mabelpod-described]

[ID: Fragments of the Mabel transcripts featuring Janet and of the lyrics of Chinese Satellite by Phoebe Bridgers collaged together. They are: "JANET: I always felt a little bit like I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"I've been running around in circles Pretending to be myself Why would somebody do this on purpose When they could do something else?"

"JANET: I’m just…I’ve always wanted to believe."

"I want to believe Instead, I look at the sky and I feel nothing You know I hate to be alone"

"But it wasn’t…I didn’t really find anything. Lolo’s the one who brought me onto this. I’ve never seen anything real until, you know, now."

"I wish I wrote it, but I didn't so I learn the words"

"So, yeah. Wrong place, wrong time. I’ve – done things, you know, I’ve spent the night in haunted houses and trekked through abandoned hospitals and I took an inflatable raft out onto that lake where that guy vanished into thin air, and I’ve freaked myself out with Ouija boards and EVP recordings that definitely could have been saying something, but –"

"Took a tour to see the stars But they weren't out tonight So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite"

"I’ve always felt like maybe I just showed up five minutes too late. Like the ghosts checked me out and thought, yeah, she’s here, but she’s not really all that interesting, is she, not worth the whole – rattling chains and howling “boo”. The big show."

"You were screaming at the Evangelicals"

"LOLO: Wouldn’t be real. You know my whole life people like you have been saying that to me? I didn’t think you meant it, Lolo! I thought it would different, Lolo! I didn’t think it would be so scary, Lolo! You’re a tourist, Janet."

"But you know I'd stand on the corner Embarrassed with a picket sign If it meant I would see you When I die"

"You have no idea. You have no idea just how much is in the world, and how much it means. 

JANET: [MUMBLES] I want to."

"I want to believe That if I go outside I'll see a tractor beam Coming to take me to where I'm from I want to go home"

"I alone am bold enough to tread on mystery."

"JANET: [FURIOUSLY] No! I can do – I can do whatever it takes! I’m not helpless!" End ID]
