Crossroads

This one is about the contrast of beauty and pain, nerevars inner conflict of having to prioritize his goals of becoming king over his adoration of voryn, about nerevars past and why he does not want to be in love, his fear and trauma, about voryns dedication to nerevar and attempts to comfort him even when he does not understand him, the tenderness between them. The strip on the left is hard to understand if you dont know my headcanons, but it is supposed to be nerevars past "lover" I also just really wanted to draw nerevar in pearls, i usually portray him as quite a traditionally masculine character so i wanted to make something different this time. This artwork may look a bit different because i decided to use yet another different brush on this and the process was quite messy, i never did the lineart stage. I kind of dont like how messy the anatomy for nerevar is, atleast it always looks wrong to me, but whatever

Yes i did say last time im gonna work on Sil and yes i did infact get distracted

The Gay Marriages of a Nineteenth-Century Prison Ship

What seemed to enrage a former inmate most was the mutual consent of the men he lived with.

Well wonderful tumblr ate my associated text explaining why this article is so interesting. This article describes a letter from a former prisoner of a Prison Hulk from 1842, which not only reports about life on board but also about same-sex marriages. That there were homosexual acts, but also about a social construct that already existed with the pirates, namely the matelotage.

A structure similar to marriage, which at its core is only about caring for each other and is not accompanied by the physical act. Whereby the one does not exclude the other. It seems that at that time, at least on board this hulk, it was normal and apparently accepted. The only question is to what extent it was accepted.

Because that would shed a whole new light on the social coexistence within close-knit same-sex structures such as on ships and would certainly shed new light on some of the court rulings regarding homosexuality on board. For not all the accused have always been sentenced to death.

abigail morris said that nothing matters was the truest love song she could have written at the time so. i decided it suited them pretty well. after all they’re the truest love story known to humanity (and also my original villain story. i’m going nuts)

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.
