Well, after many months- I'm happy to share my (rather ambitious) cover for our Final Fantasy Ladies zine: Lucia Sidera. I still can't believe the team trusted me with such an important cover. I decided to be insane and try and draw every main gal from each title and spin off (I ran out of time, so I didn't get everyone sadly). The mod team was already SO patient with me. I didn't have to do all this- but I legitimately had this vision since 2009 (and there were a LOT less gals back then). You can see from teh initial sketch layout, how many character were originally planned- but then...I went off the rails. (note, the first image is the poster version, and second is book variant)

Final Fantasy is kinda my life, let's be real- as corny as it sounds. It has been with me most of my time here on Earth. It set me upon the path I'm on now. I wouldn't be Allison without these characters, the music, the art, the stories. I won't mush too much, but this, to me, was a very special opportunity to show just how much I love this series. Getting to share that with other people in this community, whose life has been deeply touched by Final Fantasy meant a lot to me- and I hope people find there faves in this cover!

I have the remaining folded posters from the zine bundles coming in the mail, but will also be offering this as a 11x17 print soon! So much detail means it won't be coming in smaller sizes, apologies!

Anyway, it would be all too easy for me to talk about this cover and my thoughts overall but I suppose it's not overly necessary- it can speak for itself I guess! I hope you like it :)

Rating all the cabins by how they are as patience on average according to me Will Solace

Cabin 1: 5/10 (I’ve only had Jason as a patient but he is constantly getting concussions to the point I had to make him wear a helmet cause he’d refuse)

Cabin 2: there are no members of cabin 2

Cabin 3: 2/10 (Percy oh my gods stop doing dumb shit and sending armies of people to the infirmary during capture the flag)

Cabin 4: 9/10 (they are great. They listen to me. A lot of the meditation comes from plants so they help a lot)

Cabin 5: 3/10 (not only do they get sent to the infirmary all the time but you also suck as patients cause so many lie about their symptoms to seem tough. Don’t tell me the pain is a 0 out of 10 when I am looking at your broken hand)

Cabin 6: 6/10 (sometimes they are the best patients and listen to me and give me detailed descriptions of their pain and symptoms. Other times they think they know more than me and try to “um actually” me.)

Cabin 7: 1/10 (doctors are the worst patients and that applies here)

Cabin 8: idk I’ve never had a hunter of Artemis patient

Cabin 9: 4/10 (stop doing dumb shit! A lot of injuries from their inventions malfunctioning. Sometimes won’t go to the infirmary until they finish an invention)

Cabin 10: 7/10 (pretty good patients. Sometimes will be annoying or try to flirt/set you up with someone while you are working. But so long as you give them pretty bandages or cast/slings they are fine)

Cabin 11: 6/10 (actually good patients a lot of the time. Help proverbs a lot of the stuff in the infirmary. The Stoll brothers lower the rating though because their pranks send a lot of patients my way)

Cabin 12: 7/10 (good patients surprisingly. Listens very well. Though sometimes struggles to explain their symptoms but they try their best)

Cabin 13: 10/10 (the best patients. So great. They are amazing. I’m not biased what are you talking about)

@crow-collective15 what do y'all think?

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TO SJSM!!!!

[fruitytea454]

I want a satyr to tell me that I am Demigod and that I need to go to camp Half-Blood where they will train me to fight. Once I am there play Capture the flag in the forest, and climb the rock wall with lava flowing down it.

Making a list of good signs that Tommy's set for being a long-term love interest for Buck, to see how many we get. So far I've got:

Number of episodes similar to established partners or long-term love interests (like Karen or Taylor)

Backstory

Tommy plays a part in a storyline other than his romance with Buck

Tommy gets his own 'storyline' (B-plot, like Taylor and Ransone's investigation for example)

Home is shown; bonus: conversation about moving in (extra: Buck moves in)

Big Damn Hero moment

Tommy in danger moment

Buck and Tommy have a disagreement and resolve it well; bonus points if they come out of it stronger.

Multiple scenes with other characters; bonus points if they serve to show their bond / Buck isn't there.

Tommy POV (we see him with 'outside' characters).

Inclusion in promo materials.

Anything else?

Guys do u realize how huge this is. She basically confirmed when The End of the story in 11 parts will be. New Year’s Day when Taylor is 35 yrs old. She's going to have both a literal and metaphorical birthday, a rebirth. "A fresh page...a new chapter." All the references to “parties” are for both her birthday and a New Year’s party. These songs have been from the perspective of her future self this entire time. “Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things,” that’s Taylor talking from the future after she comes out on New Year’s. Like 90-95% of the folkmore, Midnights, and TTPD songs are Taylor singing abt future plans. Many of the vault tracks too. When we were told abt her having a “script” written THIS is what that was referring to. folklore-TTPD IS the script and she has been and is living it. We’ve been watching the movie this whole time.

“Then the actors were hitting their marks” // “Are you special or was this all scripted in his head?”

Taylor diving into the ocean and swimming to Midnights represents this journey from folklore-TTPD. She is swimming to the finish line which is the “New Year midnight.” She was in exile but after exile ends she is able to return home. “Now, pretty baby, I’m running to the house where you still wait up and that porch light gleams”

To have failed in killing Shinichi Kudo . . . he's made a huge oversight.

My video for SLICE (Short Little Iron Chef Edits), at BentoVid! The goal was to create at least a 90-second AMV within 100 hours, using a song from a list of songs only revealed at the start of the challenge. Given my slow editing, I can't believe I did it, but I did!

The song can be found here, and my video is also available on YouTube here, in full 1080p and with subtitles that can be toggled on and off.

1/8/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Math Nerd AU

“You haven’t explained why,” Andrew hisses, his ire at finding out what Neil’s plans were ever present. Moriyama-related work should not mean going into the Nest over break to endure God knows what at the hands of the man who broke Kevin’s hand. He takes a deep breath of his cigarette, needing the nicotine to try and soothe his anger but it isn’t helping, not when the smell now reminds him of Neil.

“I’m going to make sure that no one touches Jean Moreau.” Neil says.

“And I’ll make sure no one touches-”

“Andrew,” Neil’s voice is calm as he walks towards Andrew and now that he’s closer Andrew can see a familiar expression on Neil’s face. One he had seen plenty of times on Alex’s when the boy had been keeping his big promise to Andrew. “I’m going to make sure no one touches Jean Moreau.” He repeats and this time Andrew understands.

HEY YOU!!

DO YOU LIKE NINJAGO? AND MUSIC??

WELL DO I HAVE THE PROPOSITION FOR YOU!!

I am going to try to make a playlist for EVERY. NINJAGO. SEASON!!

but I have almost no ideas [two songs is not enough playlist for a whole season]

Sooooo…….

Reblog this post or send me an ask with all of your favorite songs that you associate with Ninjago seasons!! [please tell me which]

I’ll listen to it and put it on the playlist of whatever season you tell me to!

[This could be about the season as a whole, or even just a character in that season!]

[These will all be public on Spotify even while I’m still making them, so anyone can listen to them whenever they want!!]

And even if you don’t want it on the playlist, still tell me the songs!! I am always looking for more songs to imagine Ninjago related stuff to
