my artfight profile!

artfight warmup

hey!

i have a lottery on tik tok, really would like some activity on it

idk if there's any figure skating fans out here, but i wanna share my sasha selevko fanart soooo bad 👐

he's really a discovery for me. his "kiss" program is peak

isaac (on the right): Sometimes I don't understand if it's a good thing that I met you.

eugene (on the left): What do you mean? Did I do something?

i: Yes. You showed me the world. Through conversations with me, through your books...

e: Ha-ha, am I really such a bad teacher?

i: On the contrary. The most patient and skillful of all. It's just that this knowledge... there's so much of it. And none of it satisfies my curiosity. For example, you were telling me about the solar system - I immediately wanted to know about the Milky Way, and the galaxy, and what was... before everything. It's like I'm drinking, but I still feel thirsty. It's so strange. Is it always like this?

e: Many ancient philosophers said that knowledge is infinite, and truth is inexhaustible. Learning anything is a constant search, and I think I agree. You just came to these conclusions yourself. Do you regret becoming smarter? Freer?

i: I don't regret it... rather, I'm coming to terms with the consequences of it. Sometimes I think it was easier when I knew nothing. I woke up, stretched, drank a disgusting herbal infusion, experienced an audience with Ahriman, returned to the cell, and passed out again. A painful, but understandable constancy. And here... so many possibilities. I can do so much now that the nightmare is over and the pain is gone. And it scares me... I don't know what to do with myself. Knowledge is splitting my head, and my muscles are aching - I just want to do something.

e: That's good. "Cogito, ergo sum," as Descartes said. Not that ancient, but also a philosopher.

i: I think... therefore I exist?

e: Yes. But I would say this: I think, therefore I live. You existed when you were in Lakum. And now you see the sun in the morning, read books, study, walk.

i: Well, yes. Well, that's all good... nice.

e: Well, there you go! Be glad you feel difficulties sometimes. They can't compare to what you've experienced—they're human, ordinary—but they clearly indicate that you haven't reached your limit. And you have room to grow as a free person.

i: And what if... I never reach it. The limit. I definitely won't live long enough to learn everything. So what, should I suffer from my ignorance until I die?

e: Isaac. By your logic, Ahriman should have understood the mysteries of the creation of the universe, but in fact, he didn't even know the rules of basic respect.

i: And do you think I know?

e: Of course. You learn quickly!

i: I see...

i: ....

i: Forgive me.

e: For what?

i: For saying, "Is it good that I met you?" I always feel good and very interested with you. And I blurted that out... stupidly.

e: Isaac... everything's fine. I understand you don't mean it out of malice.

i: No, of course not. I can't feel it for you, molecularly speaking.

e: Is that so? Then what happened the first time we met, huh?

i: I won't. Thank you, Zhenya. And tell me more about these... philosophers.

i: It was fear! I didn't know then how good and kind you were...

e: Oh, come on...

i: And handsome. The best.

e: Calm down, you sly one! I'm blushing.

u: Cute...

e: Come here already! Go to sleep. And don't worry anymore...
