see the THING IS I don't feel like I ever worked hard enough to have "earned" the burnout, which is. probably how we got here.
Late but sincere Valentines wishes!
How are y’all gonna call Gortash the smelly one when Ketheric has ‘crypt breath’ (according to Orin) and Orin herself bathes in blood, guts, & sewage on the daily? :/
Like Gortash objectively smells the best of the Dead Three, his hand-signed pass to his own coronation ceremony canonically smells like vanilla and rosewood; this man does indeed shower and I will not hear otherwise
He really calls himself an athiest and then does all this stuff that's symbolic to things from the Bible.
He tells his bud to take care of his mom and sister because he probably won't be seeing them again, paralleling Christ telling John to take care of his mom when he was hanging on the cross.
He kisses Sonia's foot similar to Jesus washing the feet of his apostles.
He harrases Sonia into reading the story of Lazarus (seriously, he barged in and started putting her down, the jerk, then wouldn't leave till she read to him). While Lazarus died physically and was sepreated from his loved ones, Raskolnikov and Sonia have expierenced a spiritual death beacause of their sins. This point is accentuated when after she finishes reading, the book makes a comment about the harlot and the murderer, referring to Sofia and Raskolnikov. Then later they become seperated from their siblings when they go to Siberia like Lazarus was seperated from Mary and Martha.
There's probably more that I missed but those three really stuck out to me. He goes on about being an atheist and wanting to be in the same class as Napoleon but bro is acting like he's a martyr or something if he confesses to murdering 2 people who were minding their own business. Delusions of grandeur, indeed.
Did a bit more portrait practice. Decided after the viktor incident I would just lean into the arcane stuff.
Heres my reference photo! I think i got surprisingly close to the real thing. Wasn't expecting that.
Also, he needs chapstick so bad. Those lips are incredibly crusty
last night i dreamt tumblr added like a billion buttons to the mobile app so instead of this
we got this
and everyone just rolled with it but sometimes the wide naruto got too wide and blocked off all the other buttons and people would just post "got naruto'd again :/" and the only way to reset him was to log out and log back in
Gortash: what were you and your butler prattling about?
Durge: oh, it was mostly sceleritas. But he mentioned you.
Gortash: great. What does he want?
Durge: nothing important. Just wants us to cease all communication with each other.
Gortash: for what reason?
Durge: does it matter?
Gortash: absolutely.
Durge: he believes you're getting in the way of my duties. Moreover, you're a baneite.
Gortash: he wants us to separate ways because I worship bane?
Durge: and because you're an intrusion. But of course.
Gortash: he serves you, why is he ordering you around?
Durge: he is not.
Gortash: yes he is.
Durge: he is just making sure I fulfill my duties, father doesn't look on favour of disappointment.
Sceleritas: that is correct milady, your father wants the best for you, and so do I.
Gortash: gods, were you here this whole time?
Sceleritas: milady, would you not so kindly tell the banite that I do not converse with worshippers of your father's foes.
Durge: he can hear you fel, you're right next to him.
Sceleritas: I see that, I simply refuse to acknowledge him.
Gortash: your butler is unpleasant.
Sceleritas: your inscrutable countenance makes me want to vomit my insides into the bucket of bhaal.
Gortash: so you finally acknowledge me.
Sceleritas: master, I beg of you, slay the tyrant.
Durge: we need him fel.
Sceleritas: there are innumerable amounts of banites, eradicate him, and i would be so proud.
Gortash: kill him, he called me ugly.
Sceleritas: did I stutter?

“Those poor boys”
“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”
