I said on Patreon, but I’m using this month to experiment with making some repeating patterns in clip studio. This is my first one! There is going to be a lot of lace this month

This month my Patreon voted on the theme Mexican Gothic, and you might want to follow because I’m feeling very excited about this sketch but also extremely nervous about if I can pull it off or not

Went to the library and read one of the horniest gay poems I’ve ever read
300,000 Kisses : Tales of Queer Love From the Ancient World I Eros, too, wakes with the season, as Earth Rolls through spring, and ignites with flowers. Then the god departs from Cyprus, and goes Among men, scattering seed on the ground II Boy, you’re like a horse: already sated With seed, you’ve come back to my stable now Longing for a good rider, an open meadow, A crystal stream, a shaded grove. Theognis, Elegis

As a reminder, each month my patrons vote on a theme and color palette, then I take those and make 3 images

One spread I'm happy with tho! The Reaped God archetype
Reaped Gods are nature deities whose life and death correlate to the growth and harvesting of plants, most typically a culture’s staple crop. While stories of Reaped Gods are similar to myths with the theme of Yearly Rebirth, the two are ultimately different. In a Yearly Rebirth story, the deity dies or travels to the underworld for half the year, until the next planting cycle, when they rise again or are reborn. This trope is ultimately used to symbolize the passage of seasons, as in the Greek story of Persephone and the Sumerian story of Dumuzid. By contrast, Reaped Gods are figures who die permanently near the beginning of creation and their physical bodies become vegetation. They symbolize sacrifice, fertilization, and new beginnings. While both types of myths are about resurrection, Yearly Rebirth is about the cyclical nature of life and death whereas the Reaped God is about new life after the severing nature of death. Reaped Gods are most often murdered by other gods. The Norse giant Ymir is slain by the god Odin who fears him, and his bones become the mountains, his blood the oceans, and his hair the trees and plants of the world. The Japanese goddess Ukemochi is killed by her disgusted guest when he realizes the delicious food she is serving him has been pulled from her nose and vomited. Various pieces of her become the seeds for rice, soybeans, wheat, and more. In the Indonesian myth of Hainuwele, the girl is buried alive by her male suitors when they discover the beautiful golden gifts that she gave them are made from her defecations. The pieces of her decomposing body become the first tubers. However, not all are slain: The Cherokee goddess Selu sacrifices herself for her people. She willingly lies down in a field and becomes maize. The Hawaiian boy Hāloa-naka was stillborn, and when his parents bury him, he becomes the first taro plant.

My friend who occupies a completely different corner of the internet just dropped this into the group chat… and the rest of my friends said “Yoshi probably knows”

And unfortunately yes, I did understand. And at her request, I broke it all down for her 🥲
I know I should put alt text but I’m going to be honest, this is a complaint about the Omegaverse and I really don’t think you need to know about it. I’m saving you the brain space
