Special trade with Filumena. ❤ She as a gorgeous goldfish mermaid and her little companion, Mr. Zsömi, the mercat.
god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world
Come back, I have to tell you the plot of a fic I’ll never write and get you excited about it so we can all be disappointed with me later
dostoyevsky was surely a master of nomenclature as well. i don't know if all editions include this, but my copy of crime and punishment (penguin) includes info on the names of the characters and their meanings. dosto's versatility is unbounded since even the names of characters match with their actions and character traits.
from raskolnikov's name, "raskolot" means to chop or split. "raskolnik" refers to religious schismatic. "razum" in razumikhin means intellect or reason. "zametit" from zametov's name means to observe. most importantly, sofya who is mentioned often as sonya, refers to wisdom.
yooo! Aconi time!
She uh... she got her face burned off.
Shes also really evil.
HOWEVER she's like a mother to the people under her. And like an absolute girl boss.
Shes also just a joy to draw.
Then we got laurel, the archivist. Because the court of the aconite values knowledge, she's very important.
Servia! Holy *shit* is she tall.
she also like. Sits in the dark corners of her library and spooks the crap out of people nearby.
devante. Probably the worst drawn, but look man, I tried. I was not in the mood.
The idea of justice in the court of the aconite isn't morality, but rather loyalty and brotherhood. An assassination is a good idea if you want to climb the ranks, but you have everyone against you in a heart beat.
plus some yellow cat. Still working on their design. But I'm pretty happy with this so far.
I wanna do more work on yellow cat in general. I like the idea of the camellias in their tail. Kinda like it got stuck in the thick fur when gardening? I can see leshy trying to take a bite from their tail
Top image is my version of the official art of him playing the flute. Thought it would be a good reference.
Also, leshy is totally going to eat the flower crown when yellow cat isn't looking. (Im going to need a name for them...)
raskolnikov just lying in bed for a week from anxiety and guilt and depression is the most relatable thing i've ever read. he would make a killing on depressed tiktok. bedrotting pioneer. this is before he's inevitably exposed for being a temperamental asshole and also a murderer lol
As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'
I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'
I genuinely can't stand pop psychology I'm not an expert on this stuff but the damage it has done to the general public's understanding of mental health and psychology must be notable. People with low empathy are evil. NPD is The Abuser Disorder. here's how your partner is subconsciously manipulating you. OCD is when you like cleaning. If you ask him a question and he looks away for one second he's lying to you and abusing you. Follow for more dark psychology tips. Letting my intrusive thoughts win and dyeing my hair. I thought this guy was into me I'm so delulu. Anyone who comes to you with their problems is traumadumping and abusive. Anyone who gives you gifts is lovebombing and abusive. Being neurodivergent means Liking Things. Neurotypicals don't like things. They are empty shells without feelings. Neurodivergent means ADHD or ASD. What, BPD? Schizophrenia?? That's not very quirky or fun. And that's what neurodivergent means. That's just weird. Being mentally ill isn't an excuse to be weird. Only Evil People manipulate and abuse. There are certain people who Are Evil by nature (people with NPD) and they Will abuse you. Loving someone means it's impossible to abuse them only Evil People Who Hate You are abusive. Have I mentioned that people with NPD are evil. I really want to drive that home
WHY ARE THEY SO SILLY
