I really loved Mina. Her entries were definitely my favorite to read and I think I can safely say she’s my favorite character, especially of the main cast.

I had this idea of keeping her face and shirt very soft color-wise, but adding a pop of color with her accessories in particular. I wanted there to be some hint that she isn’t subdued by any means; she’s a vampire fighter as much as the rest of them! And that’s pretty badass and bold. (This outfit is also a much more casual at-home kind of outfit. No jacket or hat or anything.)

Philza has gone on record to say that if he were any animal he would probably be a capybara and honesty that tracks because he does kinda look like if a capybara got turned into a human man.

i didn't know Sneeg thinks of the mushroom biome as his and Phil's 'home' (or actually the lack of)

also it's interesting how he brought Ros somewhere where he thought they could get some privacy they needed and it reminds me of how people come to Phil's place to have meetings and the comments of Phil being a people magnet

anyway, the stream was absolute CINEMA

CLOAK PART TWO: BET YOU DIDNT EXPECT THERE TO BE MORE TO IT

this! is what the roses i’ve been working on since june were for. and i finally finished it last week. while i was originally planning for 12 roses, when i finished the 8th rose in the interest of not making things harder than they needed to be, i laid everything out to check the spacing, and realized that anything more than 8 would be overkill. from then on, it was a matter of figuring out how exactly i wanted them to go on.

in general, i knew i wanted more gold in the cloak. i added trim to the bottom of the banner, the top of the fur at the hem, and around the roses & as their stems.

i was pretty nervous at this point, everything still felt so disjointed and laying out the stem without anything between the roses was so awkward. i was kind of terrified at this point that all of the over a hundred hours i’d invested in the roses was for naught. but sketching in how i wanted the leaves to fill out the space relieved a lot of that anxiety.

this thin braided trim i used for the roses and stems and leaves was in weirdly short supply, and i ended up needing somewhere in the realm of 5 or 6 spools of it. the store had 3 in stock at a time. they did also have a variation with a white middle instead of gold, and I thought it would be close enough. but the difference was still super apparent from a distance, so i pulled out the center of it and threaded a gold cord onto a needle and wove it into place instead. it was labor intensive, but SO worth it to me.

for the leaves, i originally wanted them to be fully beaded. after some experimentation i decided otherwise, and settled on this layered effect using some black lace and a brocade i had on hand, leftover from the last time i built a technoblade cosplay. i trimmed them with that same gold ribbon and added beads for veins, and they did exactly what I wanted them to do with color and space on the cloak. i made 26 leaves to go along with my 8 roses, spaced along the stem on the hem of the cloak.

ultimately, i put probably in the realm of 200-250 hours into the cloak alone, and i am so proud of every detail as it’s fallen into place. i feel like ive made a cloak truly worthy of technoblade and his legacy.

Yesterday I saw TR!Phil insult TR!Fit in 58 ways just for being poor/homeless, and then act high and mighty giving him golden apples...

TR!Fit definitely has to wonder why he's still friends with her.

ALSO!!

TR!Philza is such a asshole (I love her for that) and a hypocrite for insulting Fit for "smelling bad", because let's be honest, SHE DOESN'T SMELL GOOD EITHER!

My personal HC is that she smells like: wood sawdust, dirt and sweat... SO MUCH SWEAT.

Still... She definitely looks better than Fit...

Bonus Sketch:

She badass too ig?
