He gives me gender envy 🥺
Preliminary sketch that I will digitalise once my sister gives me her con-crit because I only trust her artistic skills to guide me.
Profiles are so fucking hard when looking to the left, poor Thomas looks squished… and I haven’t drawn trad in such a long time… I need to go back to sketching on paper… 😵💫 Digital has me too coddled…

If there0s a villain that actually scared the soul out of me in a very raw and "I wanna get out of her presence" way, is Dra. Volumnia Gaul.
Viola Davis as a villain?? More excellent and mesmerizing than you'd think! She nailed the character, imo. And she did it so well that I think I'll have nightmares.
Don't worry, no spoilers from the movie, but by now I'm sure you've read the book.
Dr. Gaul comes off as not just villanous and 100% evil, SHE COMES OFF AS NON-HUMAN. In contrast with Highbottom, Arachne, and Grandma'am (yes, she's sort of an antagonist as she molds Snow's character negatively a lot) Dr. Gaul doesn't look like your typical villain in a dictatorship; she simply doesn't react like a regular human does.
She's not overly arrogant, nor overly spiteful, she knows she's good and she knows the power she wields not just as Game-Maker but also as a doctor; yet she's far removed from what's happening around her in the sense that it doesn't affect her negatively...up until the 10th games, but as I said, no spoilers. And even after that she recovers very well and doesn't take it personally.
She views humans and Panem literally as her laboratory and she takes her role as Game-Maker very seriously, but she's not pompous about it. She's a lot like Heavensbee in the sense they're both cunning, cold calculators... but Dr. Gaul takes it up another notch and isn't afraid of using innocent humans for her own research ends, and punishing people? A breeze. I think she doesn't regard humans as anything other than hairless apes she can do her research on. She reminds me of a certain doctor during WWII...
She's not driven by anger, hate, vengeance, pride... I'm not sure what drives her to do the things she does... it could be power? But I think it's a kind of undiluted, twisted, sick curiosity of how things work and how far she can push the limits, how much she can play to be a God before she breaks it... and part of the reason she needs to retain power is to keep the resources to continue pushing the limits of biology to satisfy her morbid curiosity... If there's a portrayal of psycopathy that isn't over the top, clownish, but has flair and is quite interesting that's Dr. Gaul.
I think she's responsible for the... feel of the Capitol in THG books and movies, that fakeness, plastic, unnatural coldness of it that puts Katniss off so much. It's like she created a psycopathic ENVIRONMENT, no empathy, no compassion, no feelings...
Re-watching and re-reading the saga I can see Dr. Gaul's trademark in a ton of things... and that's why I think she's the scariest villain... She bred a whole host of psychopaths that don't know they act psychopathic and are so vapid and shallow they can be pupeteered to do anything the people in power want... The Capitol was her largest experiment and her biggest success...
P.S. All my respect to Viola Davis... she's embodied a character that will probably mark the way villains are seen after this. I love her range and mastery of acting so so much.
I think the reason the fandom of The Hunger Games was as "big" as other fandoms is that it's not a fantasy tale, it's a cautionary one, and you have to have a certain mindset to be able to like it as a whole.
It's not a universe where you can assign yourself a district (even though that happened for a a time) and get merch from that district and go about your merry way saying "I'm district 11 or 12 or 2!" because assigned to the idea of the districts there's a certain flavour of reality that many don't want to be reminded of: WE'RE ALL DISTRICT. They are rooted in reality, a reality we're living right now: the world is unjust and the oppressors write the rules until the oppressed decide enough is enough and gather enough strength to fight back and win.
You can't romance the characters, you don't get transported to a distant land of wonders, you don't see heroes defeat villains... sometimes you don't even know who the real hero or villain is. (For example with Plutarch Heavensbee. You know he's a gamemaker, but then he's helping orchestrate the rebellion... but he endorses Coin? But then he doesn't...? Where does he stand...?)
You don't go into the Hunger Games to escape your reality, you go into them to understand why you're living the way you do... and most people can't handle that... it's too real.

DOCTORS NEED TO STOP USING "MOST LIKELY" AS "ONLY IF"!!!
"Most likely" just means that you're mostly at risk of having something due to this factors. It doesn't mean "you can only have xxx syndrome if you have xxx factors!".
This is why so many doctors are SO QUICK to disregard disorders like Ehlers-Danlos, Fibromyalgia, Lyme Disease, PANDAS/PANS, FND/MS, Autism, ADHD, etc. as is, but it gets worse in women!! It's as if they don't ever get told so many disorders do not just have neurological and physiological symptoms and that's that, but also psychosocial environments can mask said symptoms and make them present themselves as something they're not.
The way women and men are socialized due to patriarchy and gender roles, and etc, affects the patient A LOT. That's why Autism doesn't "look" the same in a girl than in a boy, and like... THERE'S NO FUCKING "LOOK" TO ANY INVISIBLE DISORDER, THERE'S A REASON WHY IT'S CALLED INVISIBLE, AND MOST DISORDERS ARE A FUCKING SPECTRUM, SO WHY DO THEY EVEN BOTHER TO NOT MAKE TESTS?!
Sorry, I'm just having a horrible flare up and my pain tends to turn to anger against doctors, nurses, and the medical field in general...
Rugulas, amanitas, reishi, aaaand I think it was indigo milk caps, too. Those tasted like really strong radishes. Those are the ones I remember. No psilocybe, though. Those long ones are look-alikes. ~ Yécora, Sonora. July 28th, 2024.
