At any given moment, one of these boats is out on active patrol, ready to fire within fifteen minutes. It’s been that way for over fifty years. We’re not going to abandon it over one man’s mistake and some bureaucratic bullshit.

One of my favorite relationships in The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune is between sprites Zoe and Phee (the mentor and the mentee). As Arthur Parnassus’ right hand person and integral part of the Marsyas family, Zoe does her best and is universally adored. 🧚🏾‍♀️

I admittedly got a bit wibbly drawing this one. There’s something so lovely about Zoe’s dynamic with all the kids, but especially with Phee, and it hit me right in the feels.

(Linus and Arthur are coming. But first: Talia, Chauncey & Lucy! :D)

I am slowly making my way through the cast of T.J. Klune’s wonderful story, The House in the Cerulean Sea. 🥰 Meet Sal, the sensitive, sweet, and tender-hearted poet of the orphans on Marsyas. I have plans for another image when he is in his were-state, but for now, enjoy him in his element: hanging out with Theodore and cuddling Linus’s cat Calliope!

the humanity of the AIDS crisis: the ward by gideon mendel

colorized by me

Never forget 🏳️‍🌈😔

OP you did a beautiful job colourising these shots

Notice how OP says “colorized?”

I want to remind you this was the eighties. THE EIGHTIES. Color cameras existed. Color VIDEO CAMERAS existed.

Someone put these in black and white to make them seem long ago and far away.

OP is returning them to their proper place in history: ONLY TWO GENERATIONS AGO.

that’s not fair to gideon mendel, the photographer who took those photos in 1993. he took them in black-and-white even though color cameras were available, yes, but not to “make them seem long ago and far away”. he was photographing in black-and-white so they would be taken seriously.

mendel is still documenting and lifting up the voices of people who live with hiv/aids in the project “through positive eyes”. 

if mendel hadn’t taken these photographs, we wouldn’t have a record of these  patients and the ends of their lives at all. it was extremely unusual for aids wards to let photographers in, and the patients took a risk in letting mendel photograph them and their loved ones. 

rest in peace, andré, steven, and john.
