Hell happens when the evil of this world exceeds our belief that we can conquer it.
“The Map Maker”- Davinci’s Demons. S.1 Ep. 6 “The Devil” (via steffyjay87)

Sorry for the glare. I took these standing at my tv. (Comp screen caps are so overrated! 😜)

Disclaimer: I know, I Know! “There’s a black guy in that cage and as a black woman should yo—-” NOPE. It’s a freakin Show! Not real. Get over it! (Besides, saving somebody from Vlad the Impaler… -_-… Who thought that was going to happen.)

Anyways, no new episode this week so the awesome cage! I love the lighting. I wouldn’t mind a close-up, as long as I’m not in it! ^o^

Revisited: Da Vinci’s Demons ‘The Devil’

So I looked up the dates for Paradise Lost and Dante’s Inferno. Paradise lost wasn’t published until 1668. Dante’s Inferno was written in the 14th century which is closer to Vlad and Da Vinci but that really isn’t about Lucifer/Satan and his fall. Yes, he is in the 9th circle but not quite buying devotion due to that appearance. So I’m still really up in the air! Maybe there are other stories that are really known that the shows researchers found. I’m going to just chalk it up to the writers.

I think it would have been far more interesting if they had just given Vlad a better representation. I think their [Leo & Vlad] lives of abandonment and adversity would have given them a slight connection. ESpecially on war and ingenuity.

Fuck anyone that makes you feel like less of an artist for making the art you want to make.

do you ever feel like you’re just sort of 

there

like all your friends go out and do things and get into relationships and like people that like them back and have fun and do stupid things with their best friends and instead of doing all that you’re just sort of this mildly entertaining thing that people take an interest in once in a while but they wouldn’t really care if it was gone

like you just sort of exist but you don’t really mean anything

A bit pessimistic but not totally inaccurate. Just means you need to go out there and change that perception. Which I plan to do!

Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:

Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?

This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.

Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.

Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.

Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.

For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.

Signed! Boosting the signal, I prefer to be able to buy my software.

It’s like they’re trying hard to force people into pirating their software, instead of encouraging them to buy it legally! What the freaking hell, adobe?!

I don’t even do art on my computer and I think this is ridiculous!!!

I’ve been thinking about the future. About Hemamal Studios, my writing, school and other ventures. And despite myself… I’ve become an entrepreneur. It’s not a bad thing, in fact I think it’ll help me open up more and discover my true self, meet my limits and surpass them. But it is kind of hard to…

Someone actually did it!!!! 😍
