One thing that I find very compelling of Orpheus in Hadestown is that he's still a hero, in a way. One could argue that it was because he focused on finishing his song that Eurydice ended up in Hadestown, 1/4

It's #PortfolioDay! 💗 I'm Giulia, a queer Art Director in videgames and fantasy art lover. One day I'll get back to my true love: book covers and illustrations. 📧giul.valentini@gmail.com Portfolio | Links | Art Zine | Prints #illustration #ttrpgart
On the Left: fullbody portrait of a elf woman in a layered red outfit with various satchels containing instruments like brushes and scalpels, and holding various scrolls. She stands proudly in a dusty, sandy environment, a cheeky smile on her face.
On the Right: painting of two feminine figures, Fley (a green skinned tiefling with long dark hair, wearing a tight black dress)  and Darania (a pale half-elf, blonde hair pulled up in a crown braid, wearing a white robe with red spider lily embroidery). Darania stands behind Fley, clutching the other's face in her hands, red polished nails pressing in her skin, and looks at the viewer with a predatory smirk. Fley stares ahead with wide eyes.A scene set in what looks to be a temple, dominated by a huge circular stained glass window. The sun is setting behind it, illuminating the room in gold and pink light. At the center of it, a tiefling priest is giving their sermon, their pose solemn but not detached from the audience, wearing a sun symbol on their chest and belt and flowing fabric. Behind them there are four hooded priests. In the foreground, the audience (consisting of people from different races, species and ages) listen closely from the shadowed areas.illustration, painted in warm grays and reds, of Sheireen (OC - a drow woman of undefined age, with rot exposing the flesh of the left side of her face and hand) wrapped in a dark shawl blown by the wind. In the background, a barren land with a tower crumbling in the air against the backdrop of a red moon.Illustration of Fley [OC], a tiefling with light green skin, long black hair and golden eyes. They wear a robe with flowing white sleeves. They're staring ahead at the viewer with a determined expression and snarling a spell out, their hand outstretched in a command. Green and pink magic swirls around them in a wave reminiscent of water and northern lights.

I would spend most of it on rent and bills because I'm european 😅 but I think I would also feel less crushing guilt for being unemployed and in search of a job. I think it would be more normalized to be in this condition, AND I wouldn't have to worry about burning through my savings

We think to get what we want is our destiny. But to reach and miss lets us land where we are. This is the maturing of our destiny. And landing there lets the light in each moment emanate like the sun. - Charlotte Freeman #Poetry 💙📚👀
THE BEAUTY OF LESS

We think to get what we want is our destiny. But to reach and miss lets us land where we are. This is the maturing of our destiny. And landing there lets the light in each moment emanate like the sun. Holding stones and pain and each other in this light turns ambition into being. The beauty of less lets the seed of everything sprout within us.

I admittedly know very little of how all this works, but the fact that 7 people managed to make something like this (and this is not even the whole game) fills me with awe and inspiration, because what do you mean only 7 people did this?! 🥲

*Me bursting into @thunderlotusgames.com studios like chef Skinner in Ratatouille* WHO IS BEHIND THE ART IN THIS GAME?! I DEMAND TO KNOW!
A screenshot from the game "At Fate's End". It portrays a fire in the center, on the left side sits the main character, Shane, a knight in red armor and long wavy dark hair. On the right sits another character holding a guitar and wearing a big hat that I think is made of straw. The scene is set in a forest. The warmth of the fire and the shadows around suggest it might be night. The vibe of the whole scene is very cozy. It relaxes me a lot. A screenshot from the game "At Fate's End". It portrays a sword fight between Shane, the knight in red armor on the left, and her sister Camilla, a tall blond woman with one eye and a lightining sword. Dialogue cards on the left suggest Shane better be careful which words she chooses. Typical siblings' interaction.A screenshot from the game "At Fate's End". It portrays the main character Shane (who is a knight) laying in a regal bed and sitting beside her is her sister Camilla, a tall blond woman with a cloud of flowy hair, one eye and an arm made of lightning. It looks like Shane is waking up and Camilla is gently caressing her hair with a remorseful expression on her face. Evidently Shane didn't choose her words wisely.A screenshot from the game "At Fate's End". It portrays the main character Shan (a knight in red armor) on the left and her brother Roman, a tall man in a (how can I put it...) very stylish pose showing his back. The characters are in the middle of a duel with their swords. Except the brother, Roman, looks like he has a chain weapon of some kind. In the background there are statues of dragons, it looks like the duel is happening inside or on the outside walls of a castle. Definitely hyping me for the game.

Due parole sulla questione dell'ice alle olimpiadi a Cortina, che volevo urlare nel vuoto dato che a quanto pare pure Tajani ha confermato che ci saranno agenti del DHS anche se "non sono quelli che stanno a Minneapolis" e...davvero? Lui ne è sicuro? Lo sa per certo? Io sono molto scettica.

I believe it is important to let our imperfections be. They are precious, for they help us understand those who see us with the heart. - Frida Kahlo #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀
In the end,

I believe there is nothing we must do to be loved.

We spend our lives trying to look more beautiful, more intelligent.

But I've understood two things: Those who love us see us with their hearts and give us qualities beyond the ones we truly have.

And those who refuse to love us will never be satisfied with all our efforts.

Yes, truly.

I believe it is important to let our imperfections be.

They are precious, for they help us understand those who see us with the heart.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

I think this is accurate and I'd expand it further to include the majority of wealthy Americans. Which tend to also be Conservatives. They don't have to be an actual adult until years past the rest of us and they resent that it ever happens.

Articolo che ho trovato molto interessante. È deprimente, ma parla dell'aggressione russa con un focus sulle altre vittime: i cittadini stessi. Certo, non è paragonabile a essere bombardati giorno e notte, ma è comprensibile. Io capisco benissimo il senso di impotenza e disperazione
