i love the idea that Wild is a big brother to basically all of the kids in his Hyrule. it’s such a good heacanon that i never see utilized.
#with their dads permission he’ll take Cottla and Koko on horse rides and they always have food ready for his horses when he comes into town#cottla wants to learn archery to be like him and he melts when he finds that out#all the kids in Hateno have been caught giving treats to his horses#this is a popular headcanon i think but him teaching the local kiddos how to sword fight so often times he’ll be found directing a horde of#children who’re all swinging treebaches around. he couldn’t look prouder of them.#imagine when he gets older and all the village kids r teens/young adults and all of a sudden the village has skilled hunters and foragers#and everyone’s like ‘wow what’s hateno doing’ and the answer is they all had a great big brother#by older i mean he’d be like. early thirties. but y’know ahsnfjks#wild’s impact should rest in the ppl i think. botw is all abt humanity’s strive to overcome hardship and find beauty in the misery#(well. it is to me anyhow lmao)#so i love the idea of his influence not resting in politics or myths or whatever#but within the culture and spirit of those he fought for#in my brain he definitely wanted to rescue Zelda at first and that’s the only reason he was going to fight ganon#but as his journey progressed he wanted to protect and cultivate the future more than rescue the past#i like this idea w zelda too. like not only will the future generation have great fighters but excellent scholars and leaders.#wow i am RAMBLING#anyhow. i like big bro wild.#linked universe#lu#jojo’s linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu wild#wild lu#wild linked universe#linked universe wild

I decided to draw one of the citizens from my current Dwarf Fortress game because I enjoy seeing her walk around
#my art#dwarf fortress#she showed up in the winter of my second year as a beetle woman poet and eventually got citizenship after a few years.#and I love her so much I made her a scholar as well as my new bookkeeper since my other bookkeeper kept slacking off#she gets into so many dangerous fights too I swear#EDIT: for some reason Tumblr didn't add the second image :/ yeah the girlie is mean and rude

Yuri Cyhaino Week
Day 2: royalty/knight
fairytale rescue!
ID: a drawing of Alhaitham and Cyno from Genshin Impact, genderbent. Alhaitham is wearing a soft turquoise dress and a tiara while Cyno is wearing golden armor and a violet cape. Alhaitham has a cuff with broken chains on her wrist.
Cyno is carrying Alhaitham in her arms while they're both in the air, her cape and Alhaitham's long hair flowing behind them. The background is white, and there are sparkles, Sumeru roses, and petals all around. End ID.
<- Day 1 | Day 3 ->
#yuri cyhaino week 2024#cytham#haino#cyhaino#my art#genshin impact#alhaitham#cyno#image description#genderbend#ms feeble scholar#lady mahamatra#i combined refs from like a few different eras (esp for cyno) and i don't think i did it intentionally enough to pull it off#but design aside this one was fun :] i mean the design was also fun but!! unsatisfying in the result. oh well

In my Mystreet & MCD Rewrites, both Zanes are fat, however; their fatness(es?) represent different things ->
For Mystreet!Zane, it’s fatness represents its happiness and mental well-being. Less fat (but still not skinny) = bad mental health, more fat = good mental health.
While for MCD!Zane, his fatness presents his power and exactly how well off he is compared to the every day citizen of O’Khasis & other villages. And in the eyes of the every day citizen, his fatness also represents how close he is to Lady Irene. Because Irene is also fat in my rewrite and in Ru’an, fat people (especially babies who come straight out of the womb fat) are typically seen to be a blessing directly from Lady Irene and the other Divine Warriors.
#Aphblr#Zane Ro’Meave#Mystreet#MCD#Mystreet Universe Rewrite#MCD Series Rewrite#Also Mystreet!Zane uses it/its pronouns and MCD!Zane uses he/him & it/its pronouns#Also it/its pronouns do have connotations with Irene. it’s not uncommon for priests & religious scholars of Lady Irene#to add it/its (or she/her technically as well ) as a second set of pronouns#And when I mean by connotation I mean Irene uses it/its and she/her pronouns#In my rewrite :]

little fun fact: in a cn video for the dreamjolt holstery event they have aventurine (with the hat and glasses!!) order a drink called Station of Freedom thats clearly designed after him considering the name and the colors matching him perfectly 💛💚
#aventurine#honkai star rail#hsr#the flavour of the drink is really cute... orange syrup / energy drink / cool soulglad -> very sweet and refreshing and a little strong#strong i assume means how aIcohoIic it is#it suits him sooo well sorry. obsessed. im glad he likes sweet things. i hope he likes citrusy flavours#also short brainrot moment: haha the lil purple drink next to his drink being Emotional Indigo haha like- perhaps. a certain scholar-

after a long pause i finally finished my newest oc batch ^_^ this time for owl feather: the scholar's guild. the members are more or less different types of academics, or just nerds, with their own different niches. as usual, more specific info+closeups under the cut <3
Name: Mercury
Name Origin: The planet named after the messenger god
Pronouns: She/her
Age: 28
Guild rank: Guidmaster
Weapon: Caduceus
Ethos (Power): Aileron (Enhanced speed and levitation)
Flaw power is based on: Her evasiveness- Though her power has evolved (the levitation) once she became guildmaster as she became a pillar for her guild, and successor to the former guildmaster.
Notes: I can be your angle... or yuor devil
Name: Keid
Name Origin: A star whose name means eggshels
Pronouns: He/him
Age: 19
Guild rank: 3 star
Weapon: Chicken sickles
Ethos (Power): Computative prognostication (He can calculate the outcome of events in his own head, but he can’t see outcomes beyond the one he calculated)
Flaw power is based on: His overly cautious and ruminative habits, though he tries to play it off like he's way more chill and not constantly existentially overthinking
Notes: But which came first...?
Name: Alasia
Name Origin: A star whose name references Idalion Tablet, one of the oldest known contracts
Pronouns: She/her
Age: 15
Guild rank: 2 star

Pronouns: He/She
Age: 22
Guild rank: 4 star
Weapon: Double-ended flail
Ethos (Power): Vice-versa (Healing and reverse healing)

Name: Navi
Name Origin: Informal name for γ Cassiopeiae- A navigation point for Apollo 1
Pronouns: He/they
Age: 19
Guild rank: 3 star
Weapon: Arm
Ethos (Power): Kefi (Energy direction- He can channel his energy into powerful attacks into his weapon of choice, which they designed to be their own arm)

Age: 13

Weapon: Lantern
Ethos (Power): Callous luminance (Physically palpable hard light, created from her lantern)
Flaw power is based on: Her tenancy to place the burden of guidance onto herself- Literally a guiding light for others. Mostly in regards to erudition, the symbolic connection between illumination and knowledge. She wants to illuminate everyone. But this can be at the cost of herself.
Notes: These are her summer clothes.
#finn's ocs#finn's art#oc references#YAY finally posted them#the smart guys set....#i was excited for this set regardless bc they all have their own like specific reasons theyre in the scholars guild#like different things theyre following. except for arguably talitha but shes like. a baby#shes more geeky than nerdy. but she would hang out in their huge library a lot and just sort of ended up joining#mercury herself is obviously the leader but her thing is moreso about spreading the message of the previous guildmaster (minerva)#while keid is more of a philosopher (so good at rumination might as well make a passion of it lol)#and like i said alasia is an archeologist (and historian!). and i describe navi as a blacksmith bc thats the title theyd be given-#but hes more of an engineer. doing cool new innovative things. so they and alasia have this sort of future/past passion thing#dimidium is a medic lol but bc of the way her power works its a bit more complicated#when i say reverse healing i mean he can literally just make you worse. Injury Power.#misam is like the edgiest of the batch for sure but dont be fooled theyre still more nerd than edgelord#the reason they can be so ruthless is because theyre very calculative about their choices#not in the same overthinking-type way keid is but in the sense that they can be a bit... ends justify the means?#not that they dont care about ethics at all but unlike keid they wouldnt get caught up in them#the most direct approach is the best one and all that. theyre a utilitarian.#(misams top was also more risque at first but i decided to have them button up a bit lol)#and perwana is an acolyte (aco-light. lol) in the sense that her goal really is just to spread knowledge#shes the most similar to mercury in that sense which makes her probably the first candidate for the next guildmaster rn#bc thats also the thesis statement of the guild itself!#they have a big open library for a reason. well. mostly open#but thats them :)

I want to know which octopath developer woke up and chose violence
#yes this is about the extra battles#I’ve been working on them which has taken me a while bc I needed to level everyone first#and I FINALLY FINALLY got them all down#and then FUCKING OPHILIA#GETS UP FROM DEAD AND REVIVED EVERYONE#GIRL I KILLED YOU FIRST WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST HAD RISE AGAIN LOADED AND READY. WHY CANT I DO THAT#tressa: invite friends (or whatever the fuck it’s called)#me: oh it’s them!!!!!! oh wait fuck#anyway we. died again. AND WE WERE DOING SO WELL#the current strat is scholar!temenos arcanist!agnea conjurer!castti and throne i had as merchant but her subjob matters less#castti keeps everyone bp boosted. temenos mainly is keeping everyone at full health#agnea latent power + reflective barrier#and then spam throne’s veil of darkness ability so they can’t land physical attacks either#and then repeat every time Alfyn neutralizes our buffs#the flaw with this strategy is everyone is busy doing damage reduction I don’t have a heavy hitter#especially since tressa keeps stealing castti’s ax#so it takes a really really long time to get them down#i think I might make castti a cleric and then swap osvald in for temenos#I’m worried about that bc osvald is so squishy but elemental attacks are the only thing tressa can’t STEAL#and the one true magic can break shields which will be helpful after ophilia FUCKING REVIVES EVERYONE WITH AUTO REGEN SHIELDS#before I was having good luck with ochette’s summon multiple beasts ability for shield breaking#but I don’t want to give up the reflective barrier/veil of darkness combo I’ve got with agnea and throne#and both of those are dependent on skills unique to them so I can’t just do thief Ochette or whatever#ugh. I’m gonna take a break and come back to this. Alfyn Greengrass you especially are not my friend anymore#actually that’s not fair TRESSA is my enemy. girl gimme my stuff back!!!!!!!!#octopath#octopath traveler

Halsin: If we do this, I need you to understand exactly what I do not ask of you. I will not ask you to dedicate yourself to me. I roam as nature wills me to, and your heart remains with you. I just wish to share in it.
10/10 absolutely normal things to ask of the githyanki you are in love with after you watched him discover that everything he believed in was a lie, betray his queen to save his companions, murder his people for a mindflayer and then sell his soul to a devil hoping this will finally save his people and all of this after you asked him the impossible (fix the shadowcurse) and he did it mostly because of you and you have no idea of how to deal with that as you are also learning what it means to live without single minded devotion to a single cause (and also you just freed yourself from the duty of being an archdruid and already threw yourself in the duty of being a companion in a place you hate that goes against everything you believe)
#antiqua plays bg3#bg3: ves'i'ran#bg3 ves'i'ran#love it when my ships are forced to recognise the self in the other and then it gets REALLY uncomfortable#as always i did not spoil myself for any of halsin' romance scenes so this was all just a delight to me#halsin's romance is written like this due to him being poly and also prone to turn to a bear but in the context of a githyanki character#it's like well. he has first row to you deprogramming yourself and now he wants to be very clear that he does not want to be another thing#a githyanki tav will dedicate themselves to. he knows what it means to dedicate yourself to one cause and one cause only#and what he wants now is comfort and happiness and joy and that's what he wants to share with you#thinking#once again not an halsin scholar so do not trust me on this#fucking that old man WILL fix him this time though.

a) interesting implication that pseudonyms are basically fake people rather than fake names?
b) I get the point but. people knew George Eliot was a woman during her lifetime and during her career as a writer. She was taken seriously as a woman writer
like yes, literary history is full of women who were not acknowledged or who hid their gender to write or whatever but i'm sure we have better examples for that than george eliot??
#i find these kind of righteous text-videos that flatten historical events for the sake of pop culture feminism honestly annoying#and they always make me really petty#like the fact that her point isn't about 'history being written by women' but. literature. it's about woman writers#also saying 'george eliot doesn't exist' is like saying 'lady gaga doesn't exist' bc that's not her real name#also also (again this makes me petty sorry) mary ann evans was apparently a well respected scholar and translator#yes sorry I got this from wikipedia bad research but my point is mary ann evans was taken seriously in literary spheres under that name#i'm sure not without struggles and all and yes she felt she had to use a pseudonym starting out in literature but she wasn't invisible#and that this is an odd example for the pressures and abuses women in literary spheres had to suffer historically#i am very tired which makes me mean and petty oops

No you see I’m technically a fan of 500k The Grand Unified Theory of Shen Qingqiu by 00janeblonde instead of mxtx’s scum villain as on my 4th reread it has overridden the original in my brain and when i insert query “svsss” in my brain that is the only thing that comes up in the search results
#so slow burn it's basically gen and world-building which means my ace little brain grew salivary glands just to salivate over it#svsss#fic rec#a lot on how the peaks work#unwinding sqqs teaching process and his role as a mentor scholar and artist#as well as building on the relationships between all the peak lords#good reading for a rainy night when you have much time to spare + capacity for a lot of slice of life with a side of plot

No one:
Person writing an introduction for a well-known novel: I am going to spoil the vital plot points and twists of this book for anyone who has not read it
#like genuinely what’s the reason for this. has anyone ever asked for this???#an introduction should be limited to stuff you Absolutely Need to know in order to understand this book#like vital historical context or stuff about the author or ‘hey let me just explain this concept to you real quick because if you don’t know#it; you’re not going to get a lot out of this book. or you will but you’ll spend like the first third confused’#or just like hype me up for the book if you want to. tell me about the first time you read it! tell me about the author! tell me the impact#that this book has had!!#just for god’s sake why the FUCK are you spoiling the ending before page fucking one#why are you quoting whole passages verbatim from the last quarter of the book???#this shit is afterword material. like by all means put this stuff in the BACK and i’ll refer to it at the end if i’m still confused#shoutout to graham sleight’s intro to i am legend because he manages to not spoil a thing. he does it pretty much perfectly imo#victor lavalle generally does okay as well#but there are TOO many people who just write a full-blown academic introduction in which they spoil fucking everything that happens#in the book. and they do it in such a dry and dull way that you just know it hasn’t even crossed their mind that someone might be reading#it for pleasure. they’re literally just writing it for other scholars#which is FINE but make it the afterword!!!!#i’m like heyyyyy i did actually want to read frankenstein. i did actually want to experience frankenstein#and not find out before ✨page fucking one✨ what would happen to every single person in victor’s life + victor + the monster#like jesus fucking christ. have some of these people ever talked to a human being like ever#personal

okay i think the thesis is mostly edited now at least, so i can add stuff now and then i'll see how far i'll get?
#johnny's silly rambles#god have mercy on me#why do they write “total page count” on that fucking list and then in another document they write “yeah it's just the text lol :3”#bruhhhh i'm so pissed off#the shittiest part is that i can't access my vpn right now too bc they changed the way to access it and you have to order a new password-#-for it to work. well. i don't have the time to wait two weeks for this shit to arrive at my door.#so i have to go off google scholar now great#(i mean it's fine a lot of articles are free anyways but still)

happy that going home 4 a bit means i get to b reunited with reggie my little prince reggie but devastated that it means i have to leave laura my beloved husband laura…the bittersweet purgatory of my life…
#if i were you guys i would harvest all your crops RIGHT NOW. because well from tomorrow me and laura won’t be in the same town 4 a bit which#means if they aren’t harvested before then they will inevitably wither and rot in the ground as soon as i hit the motorway#so well be careful. maybe don’t make any unnecessary journeys either just to be safe#need to bring reggie to uni with me so we can all be together. he is a scholar he can do a degree xx#(ridi's) bigmouth strikes again#laura tag

im sorry im using this template again. they should make a school where it's just literature history and philosophy lessons on loop
#do you understand my love for these lessons yet.#perhaps geography + religion lessons may be included.#i feel like i've made it clear which lessons im enjoying the most#to be fair my general dislike of the numerical lessons this year is birthed from the new teachers not teaching well!#by new teacher i mean teachers who have been doing their jobs for years who have still not learned to keep the attention of the age-range —#— that they are talking to.#they will either treat us like five year olds who need everything explained or scholars of their level that'll do fine with a basic runover#besides that the physics and biology teachers haven't changed and im used to them and they teach amazingly thank you. they can stay#ahem. not the point. they should make a school where it's literature history and philosophy lessons on loop#🌙rambling
