Underappreciated Aspect Of Vent Art Is The Ability To Look Back On It Months, Even Years Later And Say

for you and your warped reflection

this poor poor man

The art is gorgeous tho 💕

I need someone to draw this:

Odysseus, covered in blood, ragged and looks like death warmed over: *wearing a sash that says “most valid crashout” across it with Hermes/Athena bestowing a pageant crown upon him*

Optional skewered Poseidon in the background

people will look at classic dystopian sci-fi like "wow how did the author predict this would happen" and the answer is they didn't. they hoped and hoped this wouldn't happen. (some of them, the lucky few perhaps, even died believing the worst had been averted.) these writers took a look at terrible things happening around them, and imagined a future where these terrible things dominated and warped reality, and they held it up to the audience and said "see? does this future not appall you??? it has already begun."

dystopian fiction isn't a prediction. it is a warning and a PLEA

ok the Spotify lyrics for “Different Beast” say that the words are “man-made monster”, implying a monster that has been made by men

BUT this whole time I’ve been hearing it as “man made monster” which to me implies a man that has been MADE INTO a monster

Which I think aligns a lot more with the point of the song, the idea that Odysseus (and his crew) is no longer the same as he was before, that he is the monster

Because they were not made monsters by men, but by gods and circumstance

Idk which jorge meant (though I wouldn’t it past him to mean both) but I find this interpretation fascinating

the herald’s favourite
