It's Literally Aziraphale??????

it's literally aziraphale??????

( Giorgio de Chirico self portrait from 1954)

Ian Stone, Doubting Thomas, oil on linen, 12x16 in, 2023

"If you know the painting by Caravaggio, Doubting Thomas, it was my direct inspiration for this piece.

A doubting Thomas is a skeptic who refuses to believe without direct personal experience. 50-60 years ago, it was not uncommon for people to think or believe that being gay was a phase or a mental illness or deviance in some shape or form. It's embarrassing that the same things are being said about trans people today."

I gave up on inktober

the riordanverse is so fun because the two pov canon queer characters and their sexuality journeys are:

1. extremely traumatized child with self worth issues who grew up in the 30s and hates himself for being gay and had a crush on the guy who kind of ruined his life and is outed by cupid to one of his only friends

2. "I have just been kissed by a dude. How do I feel about that? ... I have just been kissed by Alex fierro. I am absolutely great with that."

the 20th of December will be like the best day of my life istg, it's been YEARS since the pjo series on Disney+ has been announced and FINALLY we're gonna get it

I kinda like it
