Medieval-ish

In a fit of procrastination, I went to DeviantArt.

If you don't like something bizarre, don't watch the next one.

In the general thread, but it’s worth it. I’m thrilled with these designs. When I was watching the cartoon, I was genuinely blown away.

When I watched the cartoon, it really gave me chills.

Envy seemed uninteresting in terms of design, to be honest.
Pride is okay, but not particularly original.

A critic has arrived.

The critic saw it.

The critic was defeated.

It would be better if they posted pictures of food and landscapes instead of criticizing.

I can post cute guys. Although I promised not to post them here.

To my great shame, I must admit that I haven't watched "The Alchemist," neither the first nor the second one.
You know how it is – you know you should watch something, that it will definitely be enjoyable, you put it off to watch later when you have time...

But I have a collection of interpretations of roughly the same images by one Orthodox artist.

Heresy (and I even know which one!)



And the "King of Sins" himself, sodomy.



In my opinion, the Orthodox obsession with this particular sin (which, in the Apostle Paul, is listed among theft and, excuse me, masturbation, and is not mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament) says something very important about them, right in the spirit of Grandfather Freud...



"Their pleasure is deceit," I repeated to myself what I remembered, "their fruits are deadly poison, their promise is death. The tree of their life they planted in the middle of paradise... But I will teach you what is the secret of their life... The root of the tree is bitter, and its branches are death, and its shade is hatred... Deceit dwells in its leaves, and it grows in darkness."

I kept postponing watching it for about eight or ten years, even though I really wanted to. And I'm glad about that for several reasons.
