Idk what I'm doing

Giving my one (1) contribution to the tag and then running away into the woods.

now presenting my unserious predictions for ch 138 :D

and so a plan is formed…

my addition to the trend :)

Grace: "-as outlined by Einstein's theory of relativity. I'm sure I covered everything... Do you understand it now?"

Rocky: "ohh yes, yes, understand, lie."

Grace: "..."

Rocky: "..."

Grace: "let's... Let's start from the beginning."

Rocky: "good good good."

I think it would be really funny if Rocky using tone indicators like "statement" and "question" also applied to lying... So telling a false statement would have him saying "lie" at the end of his sentence.

Be free, Jinu! ✨

they're really getting the hang of queer slang I think (part 1)

I’ve drawn a young Rhaenyra and Deena the Defiant! Just a little sketch for an unfinished 6 character request thing. I will likely draw them at some point!

My current challenge is drawing everyone in the appendix. That does include some historical targs! But I think only the direct line, I can’t remember specifically

"Lord of the silver bow, now hear my prayer! Great guardian of Tenedos and Chryse and sandy Cilla! Mouse Lord! If I ever built temples to your liking, ever burned fat thighs of oxen or of goats for you, fulfill this prayer for me, and let the Greeks suffer your arrows to avenge my tears!" (Homer. Iliad, trans. wilson)

Apollo sends a plague to the Greeks, my piece for the 2026 edition, Sing! O Muse Zine.

Yelena study (from reference)

Trying out a different painting method.

b/w sketch:

"You are not immune to propaganda"

This is the main thought I have when people are talking about Effie.

Effie is a clear example of that and people are kinda missing the point.

Suzanne take time to establish that not all Capitol citizens are pure evil, even if they're not rebels. We see it in Katniss' stylists, the girl in the lemon coat, countless kids that died in that bombing, people who died at the hands of both Peacekeepers and rebels alike.

We see it in Effie.

Over the course of the series, Katniss learns that capitol citizens are humans, ones that were put under years upon years of propaganda, with no knowledge on how to behave differently.

The whole message of the series is "remember who the real enemy is". It's the higher powers oppressing people, not common people living privileged life. That is why Katniss shoots Coin, that is why Games, of any kind, had to stop.

Some people focus too much on Effie being typical capitolite, and miss the crucial element of what she is representing. She is a picture of a person who lived their whole life under propaganda and could only break away from it when faced with real facts that contradicted it. Katniss and Peeta being reaped again, shattered Effie's view on Games, making her see through the propaganda.

It doesn't make Effie evil to change only after that.

Sotr also established that Trinkets are an ostracized family, one that is least likely to rebel since they'd be the first ones to go. They need to keep being in the system to survive, they need to comply or they die.

The difference between propaganda in Captiol and Districts is simple.

Districts are confronted with harsh reality daily, Capitol isn't.

That's why propaganda in the Capitol is more effective and why it's harder to break away from it. We cannot judge those characters as if they have access to all the information we have, since it's simply not true.

YANGVIK WEEK!!
