Icarusbetide - Aegis And The Lightning Rod

Basicaly a short story that reveals my understanding of AHam.

I am so in love with his high sensitivity and low empathy. This whole deal of not trusting crowds makes him partially out from the human society. I love the feeling SOOOO MUUUUUUUCH

And maybe because I was putting in so much genuine emotion, creating this artwork was a blast! I hope this little story manages to pass on some of my feelings to anyone how read!

Here is the full poem I wrote in chinese:

《一只掠食者如何死去》

啃食母亲血肉的幼犬。

用尾巴拖出一条褐色的脐带，

那凹陷的肋骨

和他身下的白骨

如此相称！

咬下最后一口肉块，

它迈步狂奔。

凄厉的狂吠是亲人的丧钟，

脆弱的脚带它走向新的路。

可怜可悲的怪诞生物，

妄图扭成人形？

可他余下罪孽更加可怖！

贪婪的嘴巴吞下每个机会，

急躁的手掌抢夺每份荣耀。

幼犬长成冷血的狼，

却仍然学不会

从奔跑中停歇。

在这时竟吐出人言：

——神圣的天使！

你傲慢的耳

或许听说过

沉默的绵羊

如何任人践踏。

你高贵的眼

或许阅读过

狡猾的老鼠

如何自甘堕落。

你广阔的学识

或许见证过

懦弱的兔子

如何困死病榻。

你苍白的脸上可曾溅上鲜红的血？

从缪斯停留的古典画框里，

自潘神藏身的大理石像中，

我们尊贵的诗人显出真身，

隔着玻璃怜悯无声病逝的宠物，

却厌恶再去多看出逃的猛兽一眼。

虚假的伪君子，冠冕堂皇的大人。

你何必再为注定被遗忘的人铺床？

死亡本是

我们每晚的归宿，

在漫长的奔波中

让不体面的争抢和讥讽

充满天堂。

我们认为以下是真理不言自明

人人生而贪婪，

造物者赋予他们若干不可逃避的欲求，

其中包括：

支配欲

报复欲

永不餍足的野心

怯懦的人跌倒死去，

愚蠢的人骨断筋折。

固执又狡猾的野狗手脚并用着往前爬行，

逐渐被记忆撕碎成载着刻薄和焦躁的幽灵。

只等待

最后一声枪响点燃灵魂上的火药，

烧出人皮下扭曲的苍白骨架，

令围观者欢呼

肮脏的掠食者注定死于非命！

don't mind me i just google translated an author's mandarin fics to english and was incredibly impressed because despite the writing being demolished by the google caveman, i can tell they all absolutely eat

is. is this what they're talking about 😭

Hii! Do you happen to have that one portrait of hamilton where he looks like an absolute munch in a sage green coat? I’m ovulating and need that painting, thanks in advance xx!!

i saw someone spell "your excellency" as "you're excellency" and that gave me the vision of some aide de camp staring down george washington going "you are excellency. you are excellency. you are excellency." talk about positive affirmations.
