The thumbnail for this looked like a weird version of Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya

Another commenter called it eerie, but I would say more tragic. It depicts the moment after Ivan has struck his son a deadly blow in a fit of rage.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Ivan the Terrible posed/modelled for the painting that depicted the evebt
From the Wikipedia article:
“Repin used Grigoriy Myasoyedov, his friend and fellow artist, as the model for Ivan the Terrible, and writer Vsevolod Garshin for the Tsarevich.”
From the Wikipedia link above:

It's modeled after a similarly eerie painting; Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan.
Is that Gru the Terrible?
QUIKMAAZ. Gru the Despicable and His Son Kevin, 2022. Digital painting.
I once ran a campaign of a game similar to D&D where one of the players had geared a character to be super charismatic and had an end goal of being able to persuade anyone to do anything.
She kept persuading the random side characters that helped them into joining, until they had a small army of Merry Men.
Yeah, the campaign took a back seat while they played Robin hood for awhile.
She started specifically targeting side npcs because I wanted to drop a character that was making my vocal chords hurt. They liked the npc because he was basically a child's vision of a stereotypical pirate.
Now they're gonna see How Despicable he can really be
