Do you ship...
Bisclavaret and his king (Bisclavaret)
Yes, I ship them
I'm neutral about them
No, I don't ship them
In a fucked up way because it compels me
Not before but now I'm intrigued
Platonically
They're divorced
I don't know them

“Look upon me, your shining morning star. See me, and see what my Father’s love is worth.”
This piece is from Vivid Shadows, an art series I do with my partner Jill. You can get the art book here!
Also, prints are available here ;)
Looks like a bunch of people are finding this art again out of nowhere.
Hail Satan 🤘
To all the beautiful queer people out there ❤️

classic ancient egyptian prank
Pierre Laviron (1650-1685) "Ganymede" (1684) Marble In Greek mythology, Ganymede was a divine hero from Troy whom Homer described as the most beautiful of mortals; he would be abducted by Zeus in the form of an eagle to serve as his cup-bearer in Olympus.
that one story in Irish mythology where this woman goes to the king (just randomly in public) and is like “hey I’m pregnant but I haven’t slept with a man in years so ???”
and then the king’s like “well did you sleep with a woman?”
and the woman’s like “yeah but that can’t-”
and the king’s like “she’d slept with a man that same day and the semen got transferred from her vag to yours”
and the people are like “SO WISE”
and the woman’s like “SO WISE”
and this priest who’s possessed by a demon and just happens to be flying overhead hears the judgement and the king’s wisdom drives out the demon and he lands safely in the crowd
the point being that nobody was bothered by sweet sweet sapphic sex in early medieval Ireland so nobody should be now
(edit: here is one source for this story; it doesn’t mention the priest, but the full text does.)
the middle ages were WILD
this story’s got everything. soap opera pregnancy shenanigans. kings that just rock up to you in public. random flying demon-possessed priests. casual acceptance of homosexuality. logic so good it exorcises anyone in the local airspace. it’s spectacular and amazeballs I love it.
MORE ILIAD FANART FOR MY ANCIENT EPIC TALES CLASS !! (Warning- there will be more 😼)
Achilles and Patroclus’s last time seeing each other alive… Patroclus
Achilles & Patroclus (2021)
Of all the art I've made, this is one of my most beloved pieces. I also created a plate version for a double-sided acrylic standee that had one side in the red-figure and the other in black-figure style painting.
Also I've never really spoke about it before, but I always wanted to make a Hector and Andromache piece to pair with this. Never got around to it, but maybe one day I will.
Such an underrated Achilles moment is him cutting off his hair to place in Patroclus' hands before lighting his funeral pyre. Like, listen listen listen, the main reason our boy grew his hair long at all is because his father promised it to the river-god Spercheus upon his safe return home. Please. Peleus promised to sacrifice his son's beautiful hair in exchange for his beautiful son's homecoming. And Achilles, fucking Achilles (beloved/beloathed), cuts it all off to give to Patroclus on his final journey, because he knows, he knows, the river-god won't fulfill his father's request. Because Achilles won't let him. Because in that moment, Achilles already knows he won't be coming home.
This is one of my favorite parts of the Iliad, and I also think it so perfectly encapsulates Achilles’ grief and his and Patroclus’ relationship.
Before this, Achilles was still set on going home, being done with everything, and choosing the fate to live a long unglamorous life as opposed to staying in Troy. Achilles reveals that before, he’d planned for Patroclus to go back to Pthia and raise his son, and take care of aging Peleus, that only Achilles was supposed to die. And really, Achilles could still have sailed home after Patroclus’ death. His fate hadn’t been sealed. But to him, avenging the death of Patroclus was more important than his own life, his own future.
its actually so crazy that enkidu was specifically textually in-universe created to be gilgamesh's perfect matchrivalbrotherlover. i fear gay literature might have peaked in ancient mesopotamia & its all been downhill from there
