I Dont Usually Post My Art. I Get A Little Off With It, But Some Art Inspires Me To Continue To Do Art.

What the fuck dude.

the messenger: the story of joan of arc (1999) / anne llewellyn barstow, ‘joan of arc and female mysticism’ / saint joan, george bernard shaw / the passion of joan of arc (1928) / anne sexton, consorting with angels / angela barrett, joan of arc, (1998) / excerpt from the trial of joan of arc / saint joan (2018 production), starring condola rashad

This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.

A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!

Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.

All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.

Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!

nothing surpasses the comedy of the entire aftermath of the emma (2020) ball scene. NOTHING. knightley running after emma. frank churchill red-faced and sweating from carrying harriet. “on account of the scissors.” frank wheeling harriet around in his arms like he’s training for the shotput event in track & field. knightley’s face when he realizes how close he is to harriet’s face and to emma and he’s like “YIKES abort abort.” knightley failing miserably to come up with a reason for being at emma’s house other than sexual frustration and pining. harriet moaning suggestively enough to visibly startle knightley. knightley going through the five stages of grief when emma asks for frank to stay. and to top it all off, bill nighy hop-running in like some sort of meerkat to exclaim “is she dEAd?!”

not to mention that none of them have slept because it was definitely the morning hours when the ball ended, so these idiots definitely just pulled an all-nighter and are basically using one brain cell at this point? truly peak cinema. no i will not accept criticism.
