"The world looks glorious in the snow. Pure white, like the light of the moon. A perfect backdrop for bloodshed."

Paper craft commission of Tartaglia from Genshin Impact. This one was much easier than the Zhongli piece since I learned a lot with that one.

I'd say this one was more in the 40 hour range.

"Every journey has its final day. Don't rush."

Paper craft commission of Zhongli from Genshin Impact.

I really struggled with this piece and underestimated the amount of detail in the design. Definitely didn't make that mistake with the rest of this set.

Probably took around 40-50 hours for this piece.

"We belong dead."

I know the creature in the films is nothing like the one from the book, but I still love that classic Universal energy.

I sold this at one of my last shows, but I'd like to make more pieces like this should I get the materials.

"No matter how much it eats, the mushrooms growing on its back steal away most of the nutrients it consumes."

I painted this glow-in-the-dark Paras last year because I enjoyed Arceus Legends so much. I'm still very proud of how it turned out.

Like, not to be an anarcho-communist on main 

but i’m so tired of hearing liberals talk about how “can’t we just have one day to breathe” literally every single time anyone criticizes B*den or H*rris. Y’all wanted “one day” during the entirety of the election process, then election day, and the days following, and now inauguration, and probably for the next four years 

because it’s so much easier for y’all to ask for more time to enjoy yourselves vs actually acknowledging that Tr*mp was a symptom of a system working exactly as it was designed to and that B*den isn’t going to fix everything for you if you ask him to, pretty please with a cherry on top, and then doing shit beyond pushing people to vote as if that’s the be all end all of activism 

so, no. you can’t have “one day.” you’ve had too many days. and we’ve lost too many people.

Listen, I know that not everyone has read Asunder, so consider this a psa. Also, it’s a bit spoilery, so read with caution.

Anders didn’t start the mage/templar war. And neither did Fiona.

The person who started the mage/templar war was Lord Seeker Lambert.

It’s well known that the mages were holding a conclave. Under Chantry law they have every right to do so, though of course being prisoners in the Circles makes them dependent on the good will of the Divine and the Templars, so actually holding a conclave is easier said than done.

Inquisition gives off the impression that the mages held their conclave and cast their vote, and then the war began.

That isn’t…actually what happened.

The mages had their conclave, they were fighting/discussing among themselves. Fiona famously says “Fuck the Divine”, and while all of this is going on, Templars have been leaving the room, supposedly to inform Lord Seeker Lambert of what was happening.

Fiona puts forth the motion to seperate, and Lord Seeker Lambert storms in and declares treason.

And then the Templars slaughter the mages.

What caused the mage rebellion, in the end, was exactly what Anders had been fighting to bring to light: violent oppression, and the slaughter of innocents.

"My mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end. If not always in the way we expect."

A commission for one of my friends of Luna Lovegood.

I know she, like many, was disappointed and hurt by what the author said. She still wanted to be a fan, but didn't want to support cruel, hurtful views from the author.

Supporting fan artists instead of buying official merch is always a good alternative, I think.

Late night progress. I just finished the pattern for this, so I can finally start cutting things out and painting. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIkSSorjrXF/?igshid=3d9puunsqqiy
