#“i think i might wander a bit”

[lighthausen]

i reslistened to Mag22, Colony and Martin's description of his first sight of Prentiss makes it seem like... like she was putting on an act? Revealing stuff in a certain manner to be as creepy as possible? And I think it's really funny like ok look:

"Then, I heard movement. From the other side of the basement. It was faint, just a rustling, really... It appeared to be a woman. She was facing away from me, apparently staring at the corner of the wall... In her right hand she held a stained, green handkerchief. She stood there, totally still...Then, with a quick, jerky movement she brought the handkerchief to her face and coughed... I saw [a worm] drop from the handkerchief onto the floor... I screamed. Her head snapped towards me and she locked eyes with me... she slowly reached up and let the overcoat fall to the floor."

Jane was just chilling out when she heard him come in, she quickly threw on her coat, wedged herself into the corner, got her handkerchief ready, ooh he's here, let the tension build a little before dropping a single worm, yes, he screamed, now quick turn around, give him a smile, wait for it, wait for it, aaaand...

worm time

A Farewell Good riddance to Skeleton Island

Felt like drawing Silver longing again... although not the island itself, but all the lost things and people orbiting it’s pull, I suppose. The skull might be a bit on the nose, but I have always thought about making one of those skull-mountain-fantasy-island-paintings, so... why not tie it into (post-) Black Sails art again :D

Please, do not repost elsewhere.

You know what would be fun is like a plot/character swap between rides again and goes to africa.... like Ernest showing Rene the "boomerang" he found and obviously she doesn't recognize exactly what it is because she's not a scholar but she can tell it's something interesting, maybe part of an artifact, and is like (girl who has only seen Illinois Smith and the Curse of Hitler's Brain) oh boy... getting a lot of "Illinois Smith and the Curse of Hitler's Brain" vibes from this!! And she recognizes this as her Big Chance to go on an adventure so she's like c'mon Ernest show me where you found this! And there's no real romance between them and it still ends with her realizing she wants a calmer lifestyle after all, but she does gain confidence along the way and it culminates in her coming to Ernest's rescue.

And conversely, Ernest trying to give his definitely mutual buddy Abner a yo-yo, and he's not remotely interested because it's not like it contains any valuable jewels or anything, surely, but Dr. Glencliff sees the transaction and is like oh boy time to kidnap Abner and threaten to cut him up with my cranial bone saw if Ernest doesn't hand over the jewels!! And there is a romantic arc and it actually fully plays out because while I'm at it I'm also switching around a bunch of other aspects. Well that's all

Please tell us more about Song Lan and Jiang Cheng flirting and the subsequent Implications

My actual theory is that every baby cultivator from the Gusu Summer Camp generation has some kind of crush on Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen and probably hang their portraits on their bedroom walls and write thinly veiled fanfic about their OCs meeting and traveling with them. We all know that Lan Wangji makes full on heart eyes at them upon first meeting, but then after Song Lan insists that he couldn’t possibly be worthy of such compliments from Young Master Lan, Jiang Cheng, noted person who does not often express uncomplicated admiration, has this to add to the conversation:

This is maybe the most uncomplicated idealism we ever see from Jiang Cheng. Coming from him this is basically an admission that he has at some point doodled a heart on their off brand merch. Presumably they don’t get drawn ugly.

Later that episode, Nie “I have a crush on every boy” Huaisang hating to see them leave but loving to watch them go:

Anyway, we do not see Song Lan again until after our heroes have had their homes destroyed by Wen affiliated psychopaths and maybe laid some misplaced blame about whose heroics inspired these massacres, but when we do, we get:

What???? When did he becomes Song-xiong?

a double “oh no don’t bow to me” lift. With brothers! Scandalous.

His face when he sees them bowing is also honestly kind of a picture.

Again? Jiang Cheng being this casual with someone he doesn’t know very well is not something I remember happening with anyone else.

Jiang Cheng has met this dude like twice and he’s going all “I trust you with my sister (who I conspired with my brother to ship unconscious to her ex in a move that is making at least one viewer 5% less sympathetic to the upcoming violation of my bodily autonomy)”. A big deal for him, regardless! I think the list of people he trusts with Yanli really does amount to:

Wei Wuixan,

Zixuan but only after Zixuan helped him rescue Wei Wuxian from the evil snurtle,

Song Lan, presumably because Song Lan has nice eyes (heyo).

This is just very suitably sexy and heroic. Anyway, in conclusion: Jiang Cheng has a big fat crush on Song Lan, and who can blame him? That smoulder. That bow-lift. That willingness to help kidnap his unconscious sister.

Implication wise I think he takes a minute out of his busy day when he hears that Song Lan disappeared to presume that probably Xiao Xingchen stabbed him for incomprehensible reasons known only to himself because love in all its varied forms is dead and you can’t trust anyone, ever.

[evilneo]

🧶) Do you have some favorite textures?

Im pretty comfortable in the fronting room :) (found out we can decorate it also! there are now little pink hearts on the wall. Ty Letters. Your lovecored swag!)

i started to write up a whole thing about marlo and the hero’s journey after making a one-off comment that lodged in my brain and got just about halfway through before realizing... if it holds out for them, it’s entirely the process of their becoming the villain. the departure is octo valley; initiation is the deepsea metro; the return is... whatever comes after that. which i find fascinating because i wrote marlo with the explicit intention of the experience corrupting them, making them unable to return. so. like. conceivably, if the ‘known world’ is where they’re good, and the ‘unknown world’ is where they’re bad, and they can’t go back to the known world...

that’s tasty.

sometimes you just gotta make a scuffed dnd build for character funsies and aesthetic coolness

[rangergirl3]

Passing by a craft store

Me: Hmmmm I’ll just pop in, I won’t necessarily get anything...

Fifteen minutes later

Me: I guess I could get this decorative box - oooh! Or this sewing kit! OR MAYBE THIS COUNTED CROSS STITCH

Half an hour later

Me: Okay, okay, breathe. Let’s see. I have a decorative box at home already. I do have a huge paint by number that I should finish before taking on any other projects. Aaaand as much as I want to start doing counted cross stitch again, I should...probably...wait until there’s a design I really love.

Thirty minutes later

Me: Okay!!! After an ungodly amount of time wandering the aisles I WILL get this small but sturdy crafting box with stars on the lid. And this cute pearl-decorated barrette. :D

In other news, fellow patrons of the craft store probably thought I was crazy

Either that, or someone walking really fast through the papercrafting aisle (where all the stickers and journals are) muttering: “It’s cool It’s fine I have so many at home stay strong keep going don’t get any more yet -” is something they...see every day?

*shrug* :D

I’m rewatching RWBY from the beginning, because I needed to see Ozpin, before shits happen, but holy hell. Knowing his story, most of his  actions/words clenches my heart...

Like V2Ch2, when Ironwood advised him to ask himself if he believes, his students can win a war... and Oz reaction is

His voice and face tells everything. He really do not want his students to participate in wars, he only want them to be able to fight against the Grimm. It’s just... shit happened, Beacon fell, and everything - I mean, EVERYTHING - he tried to avoid came to reality.

I also admire him as a teacher/headmaster. Since I’m gonna be a teacher very soon, I’m kind of rewatching the series with my teacher glasses on, seeing the characters as students and teachers. And I’m very much admiring Oz teacher personality. 

He’s approachable, he makes sure his students can always talk to him, if they need something. Well, he might have some questionable methods (like launching the kids into the woods), but he also knows that these students are only kids, and he let them act like that now or them. I mean, watching team RWBY and JNPR food fighting made me scream, like: holy shit, who will clean up this mess? And how much money are you wasting with ruining so many food?? And Oz is like, “ah, let them play.”

Redraw: Celestite (LotL Style) 

I’m a simple artist. I make stuff a while ago and instead of making new shit I just redraw old shit. 

Here’s my SU gemsona as a Land of the Lustrous Gem. Once again. Because I hope I improved with the whole colouring gemstone thing. Might’ve gotten excessive with the whole triangle thing tho. 

(She’s usually happier than she looks and her main fault is that her attention span is limited and her loyalty is questionable (she doesn’t listen to authority). She likes exploring and makes maps. In both universes.)

the idea of elena meeting dax in fox form is so funny to me, she would try to talk to him like she would for any other mammal and hed just think "oh no i need to leave" and completely ignore her, and shed be so shocked because no mammal has ever ignored her, and shed probably try to follow him (which obviously would be very worrying for dax)
