I once kneeled in shaking thrill

I chase the memory of it still, of every chill

Chided by that silence of a hush sublime

Blind to the purpose of the brute divine

But you were mine

Well I started this comic in 2020 or perhaps early 2021 and at this point I thought I would never finish it. And I am still not happy with it. But I am choosing to let go of it and what the hell, why not share it. Hope you all enjoy

The Red Tapestry by Jaime Corum

of course, there are many things to discuss about the spear cuts through water and its many dynamics amongst the characters but the one that continues to leave an itch in my brain is the dynamic between jun and the first terror.

there’s just something about being a bad man and yet having undeniable love for your sons. every single one of them despite them being numerous. though none that he loved more than jun. and it’s not just stated explicitly in the text, but it is shown.

when jun fled with the empress, all the red peacocks had an inkling that the thief was jun. but not the first terror. he was willing to believe the ‘best’ of his son’s character until the very end. perhaps maybe there was a small gnawing at his instincts but he ignored it. because he loved jun!

keema was only able to grab that moment of weakness to cut off the first terror’s head because once the mask was ripped off jun’s face, the thought of his son being the very same man he had been chasing across the country rendered the first terror vulnerable and open to attack. he literally told keema that it is so very rare that he loses a battle.

his head was literally kept in a jar that jun refused to open for an entire day and he still had faith that his son would come back to him.

even when his head was sewn back on, he offered jun his forgiveness and acceptance and it was genuine. even when jun rejected this offer, he still told him he was going to save him. because he loved his son. even as luubu used his word to force jun to kill his father, saam ossa was ready to die by his son’s hand. if luubu’s plan had gone through, the first terror’s last words to jun -no, his very last words, full stop- would have literally been “there is nothing to forgive”.

there’s no denying that jun loved this father as well, even though of course a part of him hated the man for moulding him into the red peacock he was. the love was so evident: after all, he didn’t throw his father’s head in the thousands to forever be lost despite the opportunity. with a blade in his hand and luubu’s influence and manipulation in his ear, jun still didn’t want to kill his father, he didn’t want his father to die! he literally had to forcibly stop himself from crying after his father’s death, and scolded himself for feeling bad that he was gone and the fact that he truly missed him.

oh complex relationships between parent and child, how i love you!

I think it's insane that even in the most leftist and "progressive" spaces the idea of equating morality with looks is alive and present and no one fucking bats an eye at it. like racists and mysoginysts are always portrayed as fat and hairy and generally unkept, as a contrast to the morally good and attractive leftists of course; people will have no problem being genuinely fucking awful about someone's appearance if they're deemed to be a "bad person". and the worst part is you point all of this out and people act like you're reading too much into things like no dude you gotta start using your brain more

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

I grew up around naked old people who weren't even my family! Gasp! And it was a good thing. I grew up around old-school hippies at a place called Lothlorien (in Indiana) and one of my friends dads held a sauna day every Sunday in the middle of the woods (like you cannot drive to their house, you park about a quarter mile away and walk into the woods kind of woods). All day random old people came to get naked, high (pot), and sweaty. Just random old peen and boobs swaying with the leaves. No big deal. These are things that I believe made me more at home in my body, made me more excited about aging, made me more willing to fight for my security and safety.

Bodies are just bodies. Nothing sacred and nothing inherently shameful or sinful either. The fact that we still can't get that through everyone in however many years it's been is just fucking idiotic.

#man one of the best things about Finland is our relationship to nakedness and how normalized it is #i was naked with all members of my family all genders everything all my life #i had sauna parties as a teenager alone with my male friends and it was great. nakedness is so normal and okay guys

it’s actually not misogynistic to say astrology is bogus, and it is indeed way way more misogynistic to believe that things that can’t be proven rationally through science are More Female.

plaidos

people can be misogynistic when they do literally anything. stop muddying the waters -- astrology is total bullshit, it is completely fabricated, it has no basis in reality. it isn't misogynistic to say that. it is misogyny to associate astrology with womanhood innately.
