A teaser for my next fanart :)

old sketch of a young Simón Bolívar with his sweetheart (and eventual wife) María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alayza.

[rmelster]

say three historical ships and I will draw them.

[rmelster]

may I present you with this old art I made of Juan Bautista Arismendi for a fanfic I was writing about him and Morillo, in which, instead of lashing out at everyone for Arismendi’s betrayal, Morillo instead drops everything to search him and finally found him and then he makes him prisoner and and and…

Anyways, there he is.

this might be a bit controversial, but I didn’t hear as much stirrup regarding Gladiator II’s Emperor Geta and Caracalla being two imcomprehensibly chalk-white dudes with red hair, when historically speaking we know for a fact they were neither redhead nor white (their father being of Berber origin and having been born in Africa).

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

I need to hold your hand and make you sit down when I say this but; NO HALF OF EUROPE AND ASIA IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BOILING WHILE THE OTHER HALF DROWNS!! NO THE ICE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MELTING!! NO THE COLD COUNTRIES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE 'PLEASANTLY SURPRISING' SUMMERS NOW!!

THE EARTH IS DYING YOU ANTIQUATED OBLIVIOUS DONUT

I don't do "art studies," i draw "wrong" until I get an epiphany from god

[aristocrating]

its 2026 i cannot handle any more fucking "author A obviously ripped off author B" discourse by people Who Have Only Seen the work of author B and admit themselves that they have no further knowledge of the literary landscape they are moving in. like.
