Can’t wait to see my “twin” on Christmas Day! 🎄

I am super excited to watch my unofficial twin/boyfriend Adrian’s actor Matthew Goode as C.S. Lewis in a debate with Anthony Hopkins as Sigmund Freud about the existence of God in Freud’s Last Session on Christmas Day with my brothers and sister-in-law. I am a Christian, I go to a Presbyterian church, and I am working towards Baptism, so this has greatly piqued my curiosity, this subject matter of the movie i mean, and i feel honoured getting to see my new crush in the cinema. My favourite outing might be going to the movies, if not going to the beach/being by water, although i haven’t done so regularly in many years, so movies might top it for now. ♡

Twinlore: Adrian Alexander Veidt, aka Ozymandias, from Watchmen, has about the same name as my fictional long-lost twin brother in MQ the webcomic being Alexander Adrian Amaranth, and is the inspiration for Commander Erwin Smith in Attack on Titan, whom I was already twinning with, as I share a life-day (May 4th) with his Japanese voice actor, among other coincidences/synchronicities, etc… Curiously enough, Adrian is also created by Alan Moore, whom we (being my brothers and I) have had interesting parallels between our creative writings and his before, in the form of John Constantine and our character, Leopold Florel, also inspired by Sting, and fighting against damnation for his own soul akin to John … Must be similar creative thoughtwaves.

I apologise for this description, I’m still quite ill, and my mind is a bit delirious, so I’m not writing properly as I should be … I took these screenshots of Adrian’s actor from the behind the scenes feature of Freud’s Last Session, cos Matthew Goode makes the most adorable faces, and reminds me of my sweet dreams of living as Adrian’s wife in an AU version of the Watchmen world (what’s hilarious about those dreams is I still live with depressive psychosis and have Karasu as my imaginary husband in that world too, with Adrian being that world’s “real life” husband, curiously enough…perhaps my mind training me for if it happens).

Nabimandias

Dude inspired Erwin from Attack on Titan. Weirdly enough has almost the same name as a character I made up to be my fictional twin brother in MQ the webcomic, which was Alexander Adrian Amaranth, and this guy’s name is Adrian Alexander Veidt (which is double weird considering I just shared a birthday with Erwin’s voice actor, so was already “twinning” with him). Dude. How? Oh. He was created by Alan Moore. Same guy who made John Constantine, and our vampyre character Leopold Florel already weirdly parallels John. Checks out. Synchronicity and such. Guess we’re all on the same chaos magick creative thought wavelengths … but why? 🤔 I tend to not ponder on these things anymore. I just accept them.

… Oh, and Mikau dude @octobernocturne calls me Nabimandias now, ROFL 🤣

Master of the Dark Arts

This is simply for PaperDemon’s OC-tober prompt: “In a halloween costume”, and cos our OC Leopold and John Constantine are both visually inspired by Sting aside from having some similarities, like they both are skilled in dark magic hence the title, and married to women much younger than themselves.

I drew most of this today while hanging out with Miriam-chan; we get together every Monday to draw and hangout.

I wanted to keep it simple, but added more shadows after Micky’s input that Leopold’s shoulders were small – although he did point out that Leopold is effeminine, and I was using a photo of Matt Ryan, who plays Constantine on TV {and who is a bit small himself tbh} for reference, and his shoulders *were* slouched, so… *shrug*

Now I’m thinking his head and features are a bit big, but oh well. . . this was a quick drawing – most of it is cropped out if I’m honest, since it didn’t look good, heh.
