Last interview with Smerdyakov.
I keep reading it again and again and I can’t help but feeling bad for Smerdyakov. He’s just a poor boy, nobody loves him.
Yknow, if lembas bread existed in the modern US, it would be considered this ~horrible~ ~super unhealthy~ ~fattening~ food that only those ~ignorant immigrant elves~ would ever be stupid enough to eat

1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
3 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
—Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 (KJV)


Tinuviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering.Finished! It was a fun study, I liked all the indigo 😂. It was a little weird to paint her while drawing fae though- as I mentioned before, the fae that pop into my head are very different from Tolkien elves. I like to think that they’d get tea occasionally though, maybe share some chocolate and kombucha.

I can’t wait until i finish utena so i can backread the utena tags of all the ppl i follow who post utena content, and revel in my newfound ability to comprehend them. if u have an utena tag i can trawl pls tell me so i can make triumphant connectioms and also read multiple thematic analyses of gender/incest/death/lesbianism/memory/hair/the patriarchy/whatever. no spoilers of this ‘90s(?) anime pls, i was born in the ‘90s and this offends me.
