I'm Going To Hell

happy to report there is no secret metal in me 👍

Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.

This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.

I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.

These are amazing — and shockingly accurate. Did you know there’s a “Bechdel test” for female scientist biographies?

Something I think ppl who aren't used to it struggle with when it comes to ancient history is that frequently 'we do not and cannot know this' is the only truthful response a historian can give. People severely overestimate how much we actually know about Ancient Rome.

I remember talking to someone at a party once about the debate over Septimius Severus's ethnicity (whole other can of worms) and they asked if genetic testing of his remains was not a way to settle it and I was like oh. Oh okay you are under the impression we have the physical remains of Roman emperors from the second century AD alright then. (We. Do not.)

Can't stress how much of high level study of Ancient History is devoted to trying to make sense of what actually factually happened. When I was at university (10+ years ago now) the discipline was embroiled in the lengthy and ongoing process of trying to unpack not just the biases in ancient sources but the centuries & centuries of biases within the field itself. I don't imagine this process is ever going to Stop. It's not uncommon for historical accounts to be so garbled & contradictory that it's not possible to reconstruct the real events behind them.

Once in an introductory lecture one of my professors was talking about this problem and articulated it very simply as 'we know real things happened between real people, but we aren't sure what they were'. Sums it up really!!

One time I was explaining to my dad how unfair it is that every big city has at least a couple gay bars but there are only like 20ish lesbian bars left in the country and he responded with "That's cause gay men have a good party culture. Lesbians don't have time to party, they're too busy debating the sociological implications of things and studying for postgrad degrees" and as much as I wanted to tell him he was out of line for that, as a lesbian who spends all her free time on Tumblr debating sociological implications and messaging other lesbians in discord servers where everyone has a PhD or masters for some reason I felt like I might not be the best person to make that argument

Neil Gaiman: I miss him most when I get stuck. You know, I'll just be working on something and I'll go, "Oh, this isn't quite it," and all I want to do is just call Terry, tell him what's going on and have him say, "Ah, grasshopper, the answer is there in the question." And I'd go, "Oh, for fuck's sake, Terry, just tell me."

It’s an old tradition that during a leap year women could propose to men. This was usually depicted as old or ugly women trapping men, but some art focused more on the role reversal and could be quite cute.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the last one because it plays on the idea of “undesirable” people, a tall masculine woman and a shy effeminate man, finding each other but instead of mocking them depicts it as sweet that she could finally ask him because he was too shy and insecure to ask her.

Turns out the story of the last picture continues. Apparently the guy’s father isn’t convinced the woman can provide for his son.

Also, I found some more cute ones

Hence the now infamous headline:

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh…hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????

I remember reading comments on Reddit by people who hated the Netflix show 1899, and they were whining about how they watched it with dubs and that it confused them, because they didn't know certain characters weren't supposed to understand each other.

The stupidity of people never fails to show up.

1899 is meant to be watched with subtitles. Yet a bunch of morons put the dubbed version on, even though a huge aspect of the show is the language barrier between the characters.

1899 definitely would've worked better as a novel instead of a show. Because some stupid viewers out there couldn't be bothered to watch with subtitles like they should have done.

Getting mad at 1899 because you decided to watch it with dubs instead of subtitles is like getting mad that you can't see your television screen because you put a blanket over it. Your confusion and anger is your own fault.

This is not even taking into account the fact that Netflix, the streaming service itself, put dubs on by default. It was willful sabotage.

I think what this shows is that the world is (still) not ready for media that doesn't include or cater to dubbed versions. There are too many people that, for one reason or another, are not willing to read subtitles. And that doesn't need to be a bad thing, some people really do need them. The showrunners also didn't inform anyone about how important the original audio experience was. Lots of people watch dubbed versions of shows by habit and if you don't know anything about 1899 before going in I can definitely see why they would be confused and how that would completely disrupt their enjoyment of it.

So while I agree that it's mildly infuriating that people complain when they don't understand that they're watching it incorrectly, this is also a unique situation where dubs actively ruin the experience and more effort should've been put into preventing or informing people about the consequences of that.
