also I know we meme on wake’s full name but imo it’s like that for more reasons than just a joke. it’s about how a lyric removed from its context is removed from its meaning, and how that’s something worth mourning. it’s about names as a vehicle for the preservation of a lost culture. it’s about oral history as a tremendous ten thousand year long force. it’s about how no lyric is empty of cultural meaning and a song by eminem is as culturally vital as a line from shakespeare or from a national anthem, especially when your business is grieving the culture that created it
Got a kofi to draw what I want so I decided to do a comic! I always really loved this scene from Nona the Ninth for some reason (I love Wake) and so here’s an interpretation of it. I challenged myself to only take the same time on it as I would a single page kofi (tho I still went over a bit) so it’s more painterly than usual, but it was a cool thing to try and do :>
