inspired by this post!!!!

Do you understand how much it meant to me that Stratt was never seen in anything other than comfy loose business clothes in the movie? Her every outfit is layers, loose pants, a turtleneck sweater, scarves. Ever article of clothing is about her comfort alone, literally not one bit of it serves any other function.

Do you understand how rare that is? What that means? To me and probably every other person who was raised to feel like their body was a display model only? Other characters that might have comfy outfits inevitably have this moment where they suddenly dress like a bombshell, like it's their debut as a romantic candidate.

But not Eva Stratt. She got to be interesting purely for the person she is. We got to see HER. Focus on her character and not her body. To this DAY it blows my mind. Every time I see her dressed this way that feeling of being bowled over by it renews.

For those who found me recently: I’m the author of a fic on AO3 called 600 Deserved Strikes, inspired by Epic the Musical. It was explicit and deeply rooted in the Stockholm syndrome trope. Alongside cute stories, I also love telling disturbing ones, stories where psychologically heavy things happen to the characters.

That said, I have two quick updates:

1. In 2026 I plan to work on a comic adaptation of this story. I don’t know the format yet — digital, maybe print — but it will most likely live on Patreon, at least at first.

2. I deleted that fic and all my other AO3 works. I wasn’t comfortable exploring certain themes using Neal’s designs anymore. I now have my own, and these stories will be reborn in a different form.

In the illustration, you can see Odysseus and Poseidon in a very delicate moment: Poseidon is shaving and cutting Odysseus’s beard and hair, and I added a touch of bioluminescence to the sea god, just like in the story. I hope you like it.

Here the link to the Patreon illustration, which is free! May I suggest a free membership at least to be updated on progress?
