There was a time I was worshipped as a god

[ID: A digital drawing of Andy from The Old Guard inspired by Minerve by René-Antoine Houasse. The frame is oval and the style black lines with painterly textures on a dark blue base. She’s sitting down holding a spear in one hand and a  shield in the other. she’s wearing a silver and gold helmet and breastplate. Purple and red fabric covers her right arm and is draped over her legs. Her left shoulder is covered by a lion’s head and tassels that connect to the red fabric. On the background there are a globe, some books and a hazy sky. End ID.]

Anyways here’s another take on Helen because I still don’t know what I want her to look like

[Image desc. A digital drawing of Helen from Megan Whalen Turner’s series The Queen’s Thief. She is a fat woman with a darker skin tone. She is looking straight ahead, her lips slightly parted. She has several gold piercings, including a nose bridge piercing. She also has a scar across the bridge of her nose. She has two facial tattoos, one on her chin consisting of several black lines, and one between her brows that is a simple black arrow-esque design. On her body are several more tattoos. She is dressed in a two piece outfit, a red top with an intricate design and an embroidered gryphon. Her pants are matching. Her hair is pulled into two buns, one curl falling into her face.

i think the funniest (yet still canon-compliant) explanation for why both eugenedes and costis are sometimes able to mysteriously read kamet’s mind is that he simply does not have that good of a poker face after all

Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket, James Whistler

[offbrandcornflakess]

i can’t explain why but “i love you” / “it’ll pass” is genuinely one of the most comforting pieces of dialogue i’ve ever come across. the context is deliberately sad, the hot priest is walking away from fleabag, choosing religion over love [“oh i don’t know what this feeling is” / “is it god or is it me?”] and it’s SICK because he loves her too [ “i can’t have sex with you because i’ll fall in love with you and if i fall in love with you, i won’t burst into flames, but my life will be fucked”] but like. it’s not a “sad ending” for the sake of being sad and realistic or an unreasonably happy ending preaching love and forever ever-afters. it doesn’t villainize or glorify the concept of love or people. it’s simply speaking the truth in the simplest of words. you’re in love with me and it’s going to make you miserable but it’ll pass. the pain will lessen and that ache in your chest will fade till it’s tolerable. you’ll laugh more often. soon it’ll be easier to get up in the mornings. this is a law, a rule, a fact. no matter how precious that pain is, how inescapable- it’ll pass. even though he’s the hot priest and she’s fleabag and they’re so obviously made to be happily in love w each other- it’ll still pass. it’s how we’re built- to persevere, to survive, to break and be okay again.

yeah, that’s love (based on this video)
