So I meant to get this done probably a month and a half ago. Whoops.
You may remember when I did my piece on Ryuu's picture Walk With Me that I said there was more where that came from.
Well, there is. It's called Rest Your Head, and is the Raphael/Queen Zelda version of the Serenity/Ryo squickfest.
In the interests of full disclosure, I do not like Raphael. At all. Especially after I MSTed the fucking unnecessary fanfic at the end of Ryuu's picture 'Auntie On The Attack', where he's portrayed as a sword god, despite being only able to block, slash and roll to the side. God, that was awful. (And no, I will not link you. You want to find it, you can do it yourself.)
I also dislike Queen Zelda. Despite the fact that OoT-era Princess Zelda takes things into her own hands, fucks things up and then becomes Sheik to try and help correct them, Ryuu ALWAYS portrays Queen Zelda as fragile, easily scared, delicate and oh-so-submissive.
Because the fact that Sheik went into the most godforsaken awful places and got attacked by giant undead well-dwellers doesn't matter when you're a sexist prick.
Anyway, on with the abomination--- Er, show.
Okay, we have some of Ryuu's standard tripe here. Mother and son having a mushy moment that's way too close for most peoples' comfort.
... Is he sleeping in a fucking curaiss? For fucks's SAKE, dude. One, how the hell do you sleep in that shit? Especially if it's sunny. He should be roasting like a freshly-sharted Fire Keese. Also, WHY THE FUCK IS HIS HEADBAND OFF BUT NOT THE ARMOR? Yes, that'd be creepy, but if you're gonna draw this shit anyway at least keep it logical.
And what the hell is her hand doing? Most parents DON'T CARESS THEIR CHILDRENS' CHESTS WHILE THE KIDS ARE ASLEEP, RYUU. God, you are one seriously sick puppy.
This whole fucking picture is funny as hell in a sick way, really. See, during my correspondence with him, he and his FATHER (side note: yeah, he got his father in on this. Needless to say, I question pretty much every aspect of the character of a 22 year old man who runs to Daddy for backup) said it was mommy issues that turned me gay.
But who's the one drawing parents and children in compromising positions? I'll give you a hint: IT'S NOT ME.
Anyway. Description analysis time.
"Rest your head, my dear Raphael. Find solace and peace here with me. You travel so far and so long, full of hardships and turmoil. But here, my son, here you have comfort and love. For no matter how far you travel, you will never step out of the boundaries of my love."
Oh christ on a fucking cracker. Ew. This couldn't be any more cheesy-Christian-devotional than it is. FUCK, Ryuu. That's just... Eurgh. EURGH, SAYS I. Because all other adjectives fail me.
As Ryo and Renny showed a picture of a father's guidance, here is Raphy and Zelda to show a mother's love. This has a particular significance for me, as I'm reminded of the time last year I had strep throat and while waiting for medicine, M laid my head down on a table and my mom was petting me. She said she kind of wished she could have brought me home and went back out for the medicine but I replied that I'd have rather been out with her than be home alone. Mothers are very comforting and loving - at least, they ought to be. I know mine is. So go give your mom an extra hug today in appreciation for all she does! ^^
... WHO IS IT THAT HAS THE MOMMY ISSUES AGAIN, RYUU? No, really. You're 22 years old and refuse to be left home alone during a sickness? Uh... I know strep sucks (I had a bout when I was 10 or so) but come on. You're old enough to be alone. Unless you're throwing up so much you think the next time may be half of your stomach lining saying hello, you can prolly handle it. And why would your so-very-very-very-awesome mother PUT YOUR HEAD ON THE TABLE WHEN SHE SHOULD HELP YOU TO BED?
Moral of the story here, Ryuu has some seriously sick views of parent-child relationships, husband-wife relationships, gay people and religion. I don't know where he gets off saying that the LGBT community has mommy issues when he's got far more psychosexual issues than any LGBT person I've ever met.
Oh god, I didn't even see the hand on his chest. This is such a clusterfuck of LINESLINESLINES that I thought it was part of his armor.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of looks like she's smashing his skull, 'cause both the front and the back have been flattened like a marshmallow. I'm just going to pretend that this is actually a pic of Zelda humming a song while she slowly crushes her adult-kid's cranium with her hand. It makes it way better.
Yeah, I missed it the first few times too, then... 'I wish I could KEEP missing it' sorta covers it.
DeleteAhahaha, yes. Yes it does. Thank you for making my day, dude.
Because of all the horizontal lines, this picture is just one of those things where you have to stare at it for a good 5 minutes to notice all the oddities.
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty much. If you're lucky, at least. I'm still not sure I've got everything figured out. And it's been a whole load longer than five minutes
