analyzing balors potential backstory bc i dont think ive many other people try to piece it together yet
ok so starting off, one of balor's loved gifts is the family crest pendant. if we look at the wiki (or even just in-game really), we can find a tidbit of info on the lore behind this artifact:

"leaving home for the first time"
why this artifact specifically? (I mean, other than the fact that balor likes shiny things, and that this artifact is uncommon and thus can fetch a price if sold.)

but here's the thing.

yes this voiceline is noted to be for gemstones, but i've also gotten it when gifting the family crest pendant to him as well, so he doesn't just like the artifact because it can go for a decent amount of money, as he implies he has a personal collection too (dragon hoard, much?)
so what we can glean from this little bit of info is that balor really likes the family crest pendant, which was given to those who left the home for the very first time.
why does he have a COLLECTION of things like this??? does he not have one of his own? or is he just really interested in the concept of family? as seen in this voiceline:

next off, we know balor talks a fuck ton ab the capital, but in one voiceline i had to hunt down, he says something that sticks out to me:

"only holds bad memories" ??
we never do really get a straight answer on what bad memories he hints at here, so thats up to our imagination for now until (or if ever) the devs give us more to work with.
do these bad memories have to do with the scar we can see on his chest?


third thing: hes definitely got some shady dealings from the past. take this summary of his 2 heart event as an example:

or this voiceline about maple:

so far he's really fitting into the merchant/thief archetype you'd see in dnd tbh
not to mention balor's 6 heart event where wheedle comes into the picture offering to buy/take over balor's business.
aaaand judging from these lovely comments of a thread i found on reddit, it seems im not the only one growing suspicious:

so there's one thing im excited to learn more ab in the future

Been impossible to take photos of these nails due to horrible weather lighting, but since it was specifically inspired by Ieeha I needed to figure out a way... thank you closet for having surprisingly decent lighting and dresses for being a surprisingly decent backdrop!!!
#dont mind the wrist cuffs I just felt they helped todays joint fuckery LOL#while making it more aesthetically pleasing to look at#i hate being isolated at home i wanna go OUT and i wanna DRESS UP#lmao this was gonna be about the nails#accidental peek into silvis other hobbies (nails and egl. idk how tumblr acts with the actual name as a tag these days)#(so egl just in case to be safe)#from left to right the dresses are AP rose museum+infants little ladies portrait+AP wonder gallery&antoinette decoration#i used to be more into gothic (or kuro rather) but that was like over a decade ago#the last couple years ive been slowly accumulating a sweet/hime ish wardrobe#just a pity i havent been able to leave the house..... 😔 heres hoping we can change that!!!!#ANYWAY. NAILS. the polish is lurid laqcuers 'waiting for someone who never comes'#that and several other shades SCREAMED ieeha hence i got them.... this polish is reflective but idk if i can include video from phone#just know that its EXTREMELY pretty and even prettier irl and looks like golden dust in water in the bottle#so yeah..... shimmery sparkly blue beautiful + pearls butterflies lace? TIS IEEHA#not his only vibe but a major one nonetheless. i have other ideas i wanna try someday#(also for some reason my nails ALWAYS looks way shorter in photos than they are irl. idk why)#nor do i know why im mentioning that. probably because i spent so much time filing and shaping and you cant even TELL#anyway. im rambling. feeling better now than before though so i count tjat as a win#not ffxiv#silvi talks#(also these nails took me 3 hours ish. cause i fight against the flesh. but also its like 8 coats.#base coat + 3 polish coats (its very sheer) + glitter coat + top coat#also rip at all the phone typos for all the tags#and skipped words#infanta*** smh

This is going to be a weird inbox to get considering it's 3 in the morning (On my end) as I do sent it but I've been wondering if you ever associated any song with digitaltime? This is a relatively new question for me to ask anyone since I don't usually go digging for ships out of the idea MAYBE people may feel embarrassed/uncomfortable talking about it? (Even if it did give them comfort!) If not song(s) at least maybe you can talk about them a bit, I used to love digitaltime back when I first joined dhmis in 2016 so I'm always really amazed the ship LIVES ON somewhere! (FEEL FREE TO TALK ABOUT SONGS AND HEADCANONS/IDEAS if you wanna do both I'd LOVE to hear!) I've been meaning to inbox you for days actually! Just couldn't seem to get myself to do so relating to mental health crisis haha. I'm hoping I'll be able to reach out WAY MROE OFTEN just to remind you I am here!! Really always excited/interested in what you have to say even if I've not expressed it forwardly back at least this way uuhh uh. You can ignore this </3 I know it's been hard lately!
Stay strong !!
HII !!!! HI HELLOO HIII !!!! :DDDD
ouhhh goodness i adore thiz question – i love listening to muzic and thinking about theze lozerz X33 I JUST NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO CUZ NO ONE AROUND CAREZ ABOUT THEMMM >X[
i actually have quite a lot but i cant just go on a 3 hour analysis of all the onez . so might az well give you the short n sweet of it – i really wouldn't want to waste your precious time ahaha ¥_^
★ "505" – Arctic Monkeys ; probably my favorite on the list but itz also one of the most SELF INDULGENT
the lyricz are just really fitting with my vizion of them – the lyricz "I'm going back to 505 // If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive // In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side // With your hands between your thighs" fit with the fact they really love one another tremendously – their devotion
also the lyricz "Not shy of a spark // The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark // Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark // The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start" and "But I crumble completely when you cry // It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye // I'm always just about to go and spoil the surprise // Take my hands off of your eyes too soon" LIKE I DUNNO HOW TO EXPLAIN THEZE BUT THEY REALLY REALLY DOMAKE ME THINK OF THEM ........
★ "I Wanna Be Yours" – Arctic Monkeys [dont ask why i associate them with Arctic Monkeys so much . okay ???]
y'know how Colin tendz to talk a lot about how clever and cool and useful he iz ? i think thiz song iz very fitting to how he'd want to be like . useful for Tone – the peak of intimacy iz to be uzed . something something etcetera
★ "As The World Caves In" – Matt Maltese
fitting from Tonyz perspective . in my opinion – how he'd want to spend hiz remaining time alongside Colin . even if . in the grand scheme of everything . itz such a small speck ; how Colin makez Tony feel fulfilled . and how even when all run out of time . hez happy to have spent it together – none wasted
★ a couple of honorable mentionz that i won't go in depth on :
– "Cigarettes out the Window" – TV Girl [mostly cuz i wanna do an in-depth au related analysis on it sometime in the mear future]
– "Show Me How" – Men I Trust [would like to analyze thiz one too but can't really see myself doing it ; the lyricz "Tell me why // Your hands are cold" are rlly hv digitaltime though i swear]
– "Daisy Bell" – Harry Dacre [iz thiz in part cuz Colin iz a computer ? if i answer that question truthfully . you'll chase me with pitchforkz]
– "My Love Mine All Mine" – Mitski [i can't go in depth about thiz without bursting into tearz ; i really love it]
– "Lovers Rock" – TV Girl [im scared of talking about love ; love iz very scary to me]
– "P.U.N.K Girl" – Heavenly
– "Who Knew" – The Correspondents [a relatively new song ive started listening to and i hadn't had the chance to properly dissect the lyricz and analyze them – but . since it remindz me of me n my lover . therez a 90-ish% chance it remindz me of them too]
TYSM FOR THE ASK AGAIN !!!!!!!!! I LITERALLY LOVE TALKING ABOUT DIGITALTIME – THEZE FREAKZ ALWAYZ LINGER IN MY MIND !!!!!!!!!!! IVE BEEN SO STUMPED WHEN IT COMEZ TO IDEAZ TO WRITE AND / OR DRAW THEM SO JUST GETTING TO GET SOMETHING OUTTA MY BRAIN IZ REALLY GOOD
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF CUZ ILYSM !!!!!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW HAPPY THIZ ASK ACTUALLY MADE ME . SO THANK YOU <33

#id love to also go in depth on digitaltime headcanonz but#1 . they're super fucking cringe omfg >X[#2 . i don't wanna overstay my welcome – i know that you kinda came here specifically for digitaltime yapping but like . i dont wanna annoy u#n 3 . a majority are super super cheezy and just really fluffy#also ive learned that friendz generally dislike when i talk about thiz ship – whether itz cuz itz mlm or cuz theyre both objectz or –#– cuz it makez no sense or cuz im deranged about it or cuz im super cringe iz up to debate really#but tysm for thiz ask . again#you have no clue how much thiz meanz to me – to be able to freely talk about them . even for just a moment#dhmis#dhmis au#high voltage au#sorta ?#not necessarily#but theze are fitting with hv too . so why the heck not#dhmis tony#tony the talking clock#dhmis hv tony#dhmis colin#colin the computer#dhmis hv colin#dhmis digital time#dhmis digitaltime#digitaltime#headcanons#relationship headcanons#asks#answered asks#my ask box#my inbox#spooky's postbox

See the thing is. I know I'm good at writing. Like I have my weak areas or things I need to improve in, but it's not a skill I otherwise spend a lot of time feeling insecure about because a) if I don't believe in my writing literally who will b) if I want to publish my writing I ought to at least feel a resting level of good about it because editors and agents likely will not be cradling my face like a prize cat and telling me how talented I am while asking for their edits c) I've always had an audience for my writing even at its worst– I started sharing my original works online when I was around 16 & that really helped sell to me the idea of 'there will always be someone out there who likes what you do' d) untalented men never think this hard about the quality of their works and they always end up published anyway and e) I don't have many other thoroughly developed skills so why not have one I feel good about. Having said this. Awkward feeling to realize you're one of the authorial weak links in your postgraduate creative writing degree's social circle
#part of the issue is definitely also like. i am good at what i do! its just that im the only one doing it#40 people in my fuckass degree and im the only one who writes fantasy fiction. we had one more girl but she did romance & dropped out#(to be an agent) (this isnt a sad story)#but yeah no im mostly surrounded by very talented poets and screenwriters. which makes my works seem a little. frivolous. in comparison#and my friends especially are so fucking talented it makes me ill. and they engage politely with me about my writing but its also#superficial and i cant blame them because its simply not what they write/what theyre interested in! i feel the same about poetry#but my friend actually seemed surprised a while ago when i mentioned a thing id been writing and i joked that it looked like she was#surprised i could have good ideas and she didnt answer. and like. man.#i am a good writer! i fucking know im a good writer but im a good FANTASY writer and these people are. different writers and theyre good an#im floundering in this environment next to them and theres something not as like.. artistic in what i do its so fucking embarrassing#and they also display just such a lack of curiosity as to others' writing like.. they wont check the moodle forum to read what the others i#our module have uploaded for each assignment?? like arent you even just CURIOUS? but now im also just wondering if theyre like 🤞 this#with each other in a way that excludes me and my stupid flop ass fiction. i dont know. its just so silly. everyone always talks about#finding community in writing groups & degrees & such and that is exactly the last and most isolating place ive ever been insofar as my#writing goes. like at least way back in high school no one cared in general. here people do care. just not about what i can bring to the#table. although again i really dont know if this is a larger scale lack of curiosity/involvement in others works so i digress.#notnow#tbd#sorry this is a very priveleged complaint to have i AM deeply enjoying my degree and ik im so lucky to get to go where i attend. i just#occasionally feel sad. and knowing i failed my last assignment (which WAS fiction) (one chance to prove myself! cute) isnt helping much#if the poetrypeople are better at me even in the thing im meant to be good at. baby we're about to enter the mental health meat grinder.#but we stay silly. i think i just need to find people online etc to talk to about writing again like i did at 17.#just full insanity paragraph analysis. that was fun. i enjoyed that.

what brushes do you use on procreate ((if you use it)) and how do you get your lines so smooth ?? :0
Im dabbling in digital drawing but it’s still kind of a struggle for me shshs so if you have any tips I’d love to know ‼️‼️ also your art is amazing again 💪😫
Oh my first brush question!!
So I mainly use this brush called the "Funny Haha Brush." It's completely free on gumroad, but you can tip the artist if you'd like!
https://oryozema.gumroad.com/l/YQWUE
It's my go-to brush for both sketching and inking! Inking with it is really fun, and when I sketch with it, I lower the opacity all the way down. I like the sort of "crunchy" look it has and the texture it gives me! Though if you're looking for something cleaner, like a G-Pen, maybe this isn't the one skfdhlj. Try it out and see if you like it though!
Though in terms of getting better line quality, im afraid to say that just comes with practice 😭 im getting flashbacks to when i was younger and i'd ask artists i looked up to how they got so good, and they'd just respond with "practice"... SO IM NOT GONNA DO THAT AND INSTEAD YAP ABOUT IT
So the thing about getting smooth lines is that you have to be confident with your strokes: big, quick and broad lines. For example, chicken scratching is a habit I see a lot of younger artists do (not to say this is something you do! just something I've observed).
This is something you'll just naturally get better with over time as you become more confident with your lines, but a good exercise you can do to see improvements quickly is practicing drawing shapes like ovals, circles, parallel lines in quick succession and as cleanly as you can (and in the case of the parallel lines, making them as parallel to each other as you can). Ex:
What this does is you're essentially developing your motor skills to create cleaner lines, and training your muscle memory. Speed isn't the key here, it's more about precision! But you'll naturally get faster over time. Another good exercise that I also learned is where you create two random dots, and try to make a line connecting the two dots and make it as straight and clean as possible! I like to do "ghost" strokes where I plan how the line's going to move before I commit to paper.
Honestly these are just a couple of the exercises ive learned and picked up on over the years, but even I don't do them myself SJLFHKDJL which something I really slack on. But this is definitely for if you want to see results in your improvement faster!! And also, these are also great for warming up before you start drawing.
I totally get the digital art struggle ;; it was SUCH a learning curve for me, going from predominantly traditional to digital. Honestly, the most important tip I could give you is to just draw and have fun! There was a point where I didn't draw (apart from very small homework doodles) for 3-4 years, and in that time I never tried going out of my comfort zone out of fear that it would bad. And even after I started art school, I still wasn't able to draw at the level I thought I would be at. The gap between my perceived skill vs my ACTUAL skill was so big, I kept getting tripped up and being upset about it. The fear of failure was so strong, that I was more comfortable not trying at all. In fact, it wasn't until July that I started seeing improvements in my art!! Just a couple of months ago, I couldn't draw guys for the life of me, and now all I ever draw is south park boys sfljhjl. I'm still not entirely satisfied with how my art looks, but I'm much comfortable and happy with my art now than I ever have been in the last 7 years (holy shit its been 7 years).
So, TL;DR,
1. Line exercises are your friend!
And 2. Have fun! Find your muse, and just keep drawing that!! Find ways to insert your muse in everything!! DRAW TO YOUR HYPERFIXATION'S CONTENT!!
#wow i talked a lot#did not mean for it to get this long ahsfkdjl#so sorry i didnt mean for it to turn into my life story at the end LOL#ig if theres any one of you feeling this way just know that youre not alone!!! ive been there and we'll get through this together <33#can you believe i almost wanted to quit art less than a year ago#maybe ill post some of my old art on here just so people can see how much has changed#and dont ever worry if you feel like your art suddenly feels like its regressing/going backwards#thats the thing about art!! its never a linear chart. its constantly fluctuating and going up and down#again thank you so very much for your very sweet words 🫶 they really make my day!!!#especially with these past few days... its been a rough couple a weeks#asks like these really brighten up my mood#also currently reading your fic rn: i just finished chap 3 and im gonna read chap 4 on my ride home!!#shroomer's inbox !#volaridylla

can i just be totally honest for just a sec. this past year hasnt been my favorite. it hurt a Lot and i really didnt think id be as happy as i am when the end of the year came around. it was not the best year by far for me. kinda nothing has been Great since i was like 12 honestly.

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.
#of course homura doesnt care anymore because she cant go back she can only go forward cuz if she gives up she killed madoka for nothing#she could have left her pass away with dignity but now shes a ghost stuck in a web of time and the only thing she can do is keep trying#to save her#i feel like inately homura knows this but she doesnt want to admit to herself thats shes the real one who killed madoka kaname#this is a very charitable reading of homura#homura died too but its a clear moment because homura is our narrator#homura akemi will never come back madoka kaname will never come back#but life goes on anyway for homura#heres my truth#i loved rebellion but im actually a bigger fan of the original anime's ending so im glad it seems like red ribbon homu is coming back#i thought that ending was a lot more hopeful and beautiful and rebellion was kind of a downer but i always accepted they were parallel#and seems im right based on posters#for walpurgis#madoka uses one of my favorite literary devices which is the underuse of a character#i dont know whats it called but i love it when they dont outright develop a character usually to signal an upholding of the status quo#i already explained how madoka is not shown as a character but they do this in princess tutu too with mytho#mytho is a character from a book hes not real in the way that the others are and therefore cant actually change like the others can#hes always the focus of others and never the one thinking of others#i mean yeah he spends like the whole anime thinking about tutu but thats PART of his book its not him as a person#anyway ive been talking too much but i wanna bring up my favorite subtle use of this in takopi's original sin#the boy#idk his name rn lmao#hes straight up not present for the bulk of the manga and hes legit just absent from the ending scene despite being one point of a triangle#at first that weirded me out like??? he doesnt get closure???#but the reason was he didnt need it#the focus and moral is that those girls were 'weird' unable to be normal (because of trauma) and their closure was theyre at least together#but he doesnt need that because hes already normal hes the status quo a benchmark for the reader for the reader to judge the characters off#and the characters to judge eachother off of#anyway anyway sorry this has been so long#i had to get all of that out of me

I just found a clinic nearby that does gender-affirming surgeries so top surgery might actually be a feasible thing for me in the near(ish) future
I found a job that seems to have all the stuff I liked from one of my last jobs without the extra bullshit I didn't (can't apply for it currently but that kind of job exists and that's reassuring)
Things might be starting to look up for me
#personal#i would have to use the money i saved up for college for the surgery and i dont know what kind of wait list they have going on#but i dont have enough money to get the kind of degree i want anyway here#so i might as well drop that money on something meaningful to me instead#not having much luck figuring out the getting back to therapy thing atm and im not going to assume these things on their own will fix me#but damn if they wouldn't help#and if i can get back into work i can move back in with my old roommate#(as far as i know my room's still available id just have to talk to him about it once ive got money to offer for bills again)#and with this kind of 'stay at home until there's work' job itll mean im not spending all my energy trying to survive the day#so i should still have some left over for doing the things i love doing (without having to worry about those things being able to make mone#god i havent felt this hopeful about my prospects in a long fucking time#maybe i can still make a place for myself

fucked up
#im slowly becoming more aware of the paranoid brainworms. or maybe theyve grown over time.#but its been. not fun.#and i think theyre dumb. they should stop it tbh.#and now that ive recognized that theyre a problem (yesterday being a tipping point). i dont want to entertain them.#or i will try not to entertain them.#which i decided just now. i opened the automatic door to the cinema like 15 mins ago.#and the brainworms go 'ooohhhh but what if you did it WRONG. what if they arent actually open and your stupid.?#what if you made. and are actively making a MISTAKE. if this is the case you will never be redeemed as a human. ever'#and. as i got up to the stairs i just. stopped.#for some reason it clicked that. this is not something i should be listening to.#with my counselor ive been working on selfconvidence. and mostly about being assertive about my wants.#but i think its also been highlighting my paranoia. and as i said ive been aware of this for the past few weeks.#and i guess just now was the epifany of 'what the fuck are you doing'. and it was something i couldnt explain by actual anxities.#so im. quitting paranoia ig. yayyay#sillyposting#ik it can sound dumb and i also know that this is serious but: not walking up those stairs to doublecheck was scary.#and it by far wont be the scariest thing i have to do to stop this now.#i will probably start by trying to check the time and location for classes less.#i already took the step a few weeks ago that made me ~show that i have wants in front of my family wooo scaryy~#aka. putting sugar in my smoothies and not. or trying not to. care about what my parents thought about it.#which again. the voices are calling me stupid for being scared of this.#but im sitting here actually nearly tearing up talking about it.#whatwver.......#anyyay ig what i wanted to say is: erm i have problems. but i did something today that challenged them and i was fine. i will try it again.#hm. changing yourself is not awesome.#and the fact that im doing by myself?#it both feels childish that i need the voices to stop me and relieving that im able to do this for me.#hhmhmh.....#its also challenging bc some paranoia is in my head. still very very much warranted. good even.#but i know that im just telling myself that to dig a deeper hole to an extend. to not feel forced to change myself. whatever

See. It's like I know that if something makes you happy then it isn't a stupid purchase because it makes you happy. But man just hearing an outside source say it is different. Brain and the power of validation or something.
Anyway, apperently the little Dr.C Fingz can't be shipped in an envelope because the post office won't allow something that isn't completely flat. This information and me asking my co-worker what his rule of thumb for buying something stupid is which lead to the "if it makes you happy then it isn't stupid"
#me calculating how long it takes me to make eight dollars is also also unrelated. so then i can(t) go “is Dr.C Fingz worth [x] amount of-#-my time.“#but at the same time it's eight dollars surely i can spare eight dollars.#but also if i keep saying that then it will add up a lot.#but also also ive been considering this for several days anyway.#but also also also UUGGGHHH. I dont know. He's sorta Easter colors. self-Easter gift i dont know.#I like when i remember my blog is for blogging and do stupid. yknow. BLOGGING.#five minute later update posts and whatever. blogging is fun okay i like sharing my silly thoughts that i have every now and then.#i just bought those sticker books and. ugh. i dont know. i dont KNOWWWW. im probably overthinking it. rrrgghhhhhhh.#sorry the stupid three noises he makes in the ten second cutscene in Jollywood was just.#IM SCARED TO TALK ABOUT HIM I DONT. DONT MAKE ACCUSATIONS LOWER YOUR WEAPONS FOR FUCK SAKE.#i see that- I SEE THAT PITCHFORK. Lower it. put it down. ah! down. fuck.#You saw the Pixar Cars selfshipping sign. you thought I'd talk about anything possibly normal on here?!?! guess again.#sorry. like i said earlier i. am feeling good . so so much better. dont feel like. pulling away from everyonr and everything and rotting.#like. i could buy him or i could buy. like. an entire pizza. but would long term a pizza make me as happ
