Giddy Mag #8: Hunger in Blue

"Nothing is as thrilling as having to be disappointed all the time."

I want to be in big bold letters. I want to taste all of you. I want to melt for you. I'll burn it all down. Everything to free us into this. You've never met someone with a man inside a woman inside a man inside a woman inside...

Part 1 of "Angry Woman Weeping Souls"

Can be individually titled "The Quake of The Tide"

"Please God, be gentle in the falling of my bits and pieces."

"The Before And After Corpse"

"I'm happy here."

"Transgenjar"

"I felt so beautiful. A live wire. I was ready to shatter a dimension. I was ready to let it all grow freely."

"His specter" or part of "The Failures of Men"

"Moan Deeper"

"Are you watching me, Good Friday?"

"I saw it so clearly. I saw it all happen. I saw a fire giving birth. I saw a mother losing her time."

"All Things Lost to a Fascist Regime Yet to Come"

your grandfather

dances

diet pepsi

marigolds

confusion

dedication to silence

midnight

the garden of the city

sensuality for heat, the windows

a dollar toy for a child

the neighbor’s child

neighbors

children, growing up

the exact location of God

whether or not I trust you

hiding from the truth

your son choosing to kiss

your son growing

your daughter too

and their daughter

and their daughter

her ability to walk alone

blooms, the inverse of expectations

winter, the movies, a blanket

the first time out with friends

in forever, the feeling

if it might not end

for lots of people, for the movement of

the streets, trash can pickup

anything without bitters

closing your eyes

saying good enough

a fascist regime

finding a trinket

if it has worth for discussing

our car ride conversations

tourism as a spiritual concept

knowing an open door

if we see, if we look back toward

the alternative

So uh... huh... I guess that explains the lump under her shirt...

Alright so, what's been going on with Amethyst's August? Why hasn't there been anything posted involving her for about a week?

It's a bit complicated, but I got the answers from Amethyst herself.

So apparently, when she first arrived in the CN City back in 2020, she became so obsessed with the food she discovered that it caused her to put on extra weight.

Since then, she's been trying to hide this with different tactics, mainly that blue crystal that she's holding in the picture, which managed to hide her extra mass by seemingly shrinking her size a bit.

So there's that, but how did I discover this?

Well, uh... I asked Amethyst if I could have permission to tell you about this, and she (surprisingly) said yes.

Last month, a new establishment was made to experiment with breeding and offspring.

In the case of what's going on here, people could volunteer to be randomly paired with someone of the opposite sex to see what the offspring would look like if they got together.

No, I'm not telling you how it works. I'm fairly certain that you'll regret ever wanting to know about it.

All you need to know is that volunteers would be unconsciously teleported to some cloud-like location to interact with whoever they were paired with.

I was interested in this idea, so I signed myself up. However, I didn't realize that Amethyst had also done so.

To make matters worse, neither of us were aware that when someone would be teleported... their, uh... their clothes wouldn't come with...

I tried to recreate the moment that I discovered this with Amethyst.

However, despite wanting us to start the experiment immediately, the researchers gave us permission to talk with each other, since they were (somehow) aware about me and Amethyst's poor relationship.

For context, you probably noticed that Amethyst's posts from when she took over my blog were rather cynical.

When I asked about that, she said that she was upset that almost every TF experiment involving her was out of her control, and that she was rarely ever allowed to give any input.

As such, I promised to give her creative control and let her decide what animal she wanted to naturally become (rather than using her gem to shape-shift).

I will share the outcome of this tomorrow.

‘The Gray House’ Civil War Spy Drama Series From Kevin Costner to Open Monte-Carlo Television Festival “The Gray House,” the Kevin Costner-produced limited series about a female spy ring during the Civil War, will open Monaco’s 63rd annual Monte-Carlo Television Festival in June. The six-episode limited series tells the hidden-history tale of four Southern women — a Virginia socialite and her mother, a formerly enslaved Black woman and a high-end prostitute — who served as key espionage agents for the Union. The foursome are credited as unsung heroes who helped end the nation’s brutal cleavage in 1865. Mary-Louise Parker, Amethyst Davis, Daisy Head and Ben Vereen lead the ensemble cast. Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary produce through their Revelations Entertainment banner alongside Costner’s Territory Pictures and Big Dreams Entertainment from Republic Pictures. Paramount Global Content Distribution is handling distribution of the series but it’s not yet clear where “Gray House” will land in the U.S. Source: IMDB, Variety

the tangle slander i see in parts of the idw fandom… the way she’s characterized either as a carbon copy of monkey d luffy, amethyst stevenuniverse, or flanderized davis from digimon 02 </3

the main critiques i have are tangle is not NEARLY as impulsive, reckless, chaotic, or clumsy as you feel the need to write her

-whale fall (davy jones’s locker)-

people like to say the universe lives inside of them

here is what lives inside me:

the man standing by the curb at a four-way stop

whose salt and pepper hair has grown to his shoulders

the sign he’s holding says “anything helps.”

and a green carapace embossed with geometric designs

a chaplet of dead flowers dyed a shade of creosote

a fillet of golden brocade and intercosmic eyes traced with kohl

along with sumptuous jade horseshoes for my feet

and Earendel’s helium as my oxygen. 

what else, you ask? well, there’s the Challenger Deep 

clumps of homoscleromorpha and

schools of febrile flying fish

and towering porcelain sunfish

and pious shovelnose guitarfish. 

last but not least:

inchworms of amethyst and jade and ruby

red-eared sliders painted with seaweed

wildebeest and wilder beasts–

all that’s left in the heavenly choir.

Estrelas musicais se alinham para o drama "The Gray House" – DEADLINE (Tradução)

Estrelas musicais se alinham para o drama da Guerra Civil THE GRAY HOUSE com Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Yolanda Adams, Lainey Wilson, Killer Mike e mais na trilha sonora.

As estrelas da música estão se preparando para THE GRAY HOUSE, de Kevin Costner e Morgan Freeman.

Leslie Greif abriu a playlist da série com exclusividade para o Deadline e há uma grande potência estelar aí, incluindo uma música original interpretada pela lenda da música country Willie Nelson, que encerra a série. Além disso, Shania Twain, Killer Mike e Yolanda Adams estão entre os que participarão, e Jon Bon Jovi co-escreve uma das músicas do programa.

A matéria completa, e em inglês, você pode ler CLICANDO AQUI. Segue tradução feita pela Equipe COBR:

“Minha ideia foi, em vez de ter uma música-título [final], ter oito músicas diferentes de artistas vencedores do Grammy e de diferentes gêneros musicais, que foram escritas para o nosso programa e que contarão a história daquele episódio”, disse Greif, que é produtor executivo e escreveu o roteiro com Darrell Fetty e John Sayles.

“Heart of America”, de Nelson, foi escrito por Erin Enderlin, Jim ‘Moose’ Brown e Jeff Fahey. Ela encerra a minissérie, que conta com Costner e Freeman como produtores executivos. A série acompanha um trio de heroínas desconhecidas que fazem parte de uma rede de espionagem que tenta virar a maré da Guerra Civil Americana a favor do Norte. Mary-Louise Parker, Amethyst Davis, Daisy Head e Ben Vereen fazem parte do elenco.

“Todas essas pessoas vieram, com base no trailer, no tema do programa e no desejo de fazer parte de algo importante”, disse Greif, que co-produziu várias das músicas da série. Shania Twain ficou evidentemente impressionada. Como parte do dueto com Drake Milligan, ela apresenta uma música intitulada “I'll Be Here With You”.

Yolanda Adams, uma das artistas gospel mais vendidas de todos os tempos e estrela da série Kingdom Business do BET+, canta “Love Will Rescue Me”, que encerra o segundo episódio. Lainey Wilson, que foi eleita a artista do ano no Academy of Country Music Awards deste ano, tem uma canção chamada “Dead End Road”.

A dupla de marido e esposa War and Treaty interpreta o tema do título principal “Blood In The River” na série dirigida por Roland Joffe, bem como a música do título final “If This Day Was The Last Day”. Killer Mike participa da ação com um número chamado “Spying Eyes”.

O episódio de abertura da série termina com “Unholy Water”, interpretada por Adrienne Warren. A música vem de uma equipe poderosa de Jon Bon Jovi, Desmond Child e Butch Walker. Larkin Poe, ganhador do prêmio Grammy, participa com uma música chamada “The Devil's Boat”.

Scott Stapp, que co-escreveu uma das músicas da trilha sonora de “É Assim Que Acaba”, apresenta “Red, White, & Blue”, que ele escreveu com Marti Frederiksen e Desmond Child. O compositor e integrante do Hall da Fama, Child, tem créditos de composição em várias músicas da série.

THE GRAY HOUSE é da Paramount Global, e seu braço de distribuição está o vendendo internacionalmente. Ainda não há notícias sobre seu lançamento nos EUA. É produzido pela Territory Pictures, de Costner; pela Revelations Entertainment, de Freeman e Lori McCreary; e pela Big Dreams Entertainment, de Greif.

Because once again I find writing little snippets and scenarios of my Davy Jones and Lucemond au is much easier than trying to plan a whole cohesive ass fic so here we have a few tidbits I wanted to indulge myself in. Title of the snippets will probably be the title for the actual chapters if I ever get around to writing the whole thing...

So yeah, part one out of I don’t know how many snippets I’ll post, but just to keep this idea alive long enough for me to actually write it. 

Au: Lord of the Abyssal Tides

Reunion

Lucerys finds himself frozen as Blackwell and Corvis drag Aemond further along the deck, each of his arms lodged between a pincer and a tentacle respectively as they haul their ‘catch’ towards Lucerys himself. He finds his breath stolen away as an amethyst colored eye snaps towards his face, and Lucerys cannot pinpoint the exact emotion hidden within the singular gaze. Madness...perhaps hatred still for finding Lucerys alive. Perhaps he had heard the rumors and sailed Vhagar to hunt down The Dutchman and finish off Lucerys for good. Perhaps-

“Ahhh...and what’s this we have dragged on board me ship lads?” A voice drawls from behind Lucerys, and soon he finds the familiar sensation of waterlogged and chilled fingertips card through the back of his curls, followed by the suction pads of the tentacle that made up of the owner’s pointer finger sling through his hair and curl over his neck. Lucerys shouldn’t find the touch as grounding and comforting as he did, but nonetheless his rigid posture softened just a bit. He chanced a glance upwards, but Davy seemed much more interested in the drenched silver haired prince his crew had drug onboard.

“I believe Captain Jones-” Aemond surprisingly pipes up, spitting out the title like it was a foul tasting word to grace his lips, and Lucerys can feel Davy’s signature twitches as he’s addressed. “That you are in possession of something that belong to me. And I intend to have it back.”

“Oh~ Do you now, lad? Are you perhaps this ‘one-eyed’ maddened beast I’ve heard so many whispers from the dead and dying about? The one who sent this pup to me in the first place?” Davy quips, tugging at Luke’s curls sharply before releasing his hair and stomping his crab leg to make an audible thump among the warped wooden boards below him as he stalked towards Aemond.

Reunion (Part Two)

Lucerys can feel Aemond’s stare like a physical touch upon his pale body, and he has to fight the urge to hide himself away from Aemond seeing what has become of him. He knows his uncle’s eye is glued to the the few gills that are split along the sides of his neck, along with the starfish that has stubbornly embedded itself on his chest, right where his heart still beat. All in all, not too dramatic or gut wrenching changes that most of the other crew members have endured, but still different.

Changed.

“Please...” He croaks, unable to meet Aemond’s gaze. “Don’t stare. I...I know I’ve become a monst-”

“No.”  Aemond’s voice sharply cuts through Luke’s plea, and it’s his tone that finally gives Luke the bravery to tilt his head to look at his uncle. “You are not. I know what monsters are Lucerys, and I would not count you among them.”

Lullaby of the Sea

“You...” Luke swallows the thick spit that has gathered in his mouth, fully sitting himself upright to watch as one of Davy’s tentacles wraps itself along the locket still playing that immersing tune. “You loved her, then?”

Luke feels his blood run cold as Davy’s gaze snaps to him, whatever fondness and warmth their conversation may have mustered up vanishing in an instant, crushing itself among the waves of Davy’s unforgiving gaze. “Love-” He hisses “Is a wretched bond. All it serves is to bind men to madness and a lifetime of regrets. I do not love her.” Davy snaps the locket close, cutting the tune off and then the Captain slams it down onto the keys of the organ.

“I-I’m sorry!” Is the only thing Luke can stammer out, flinching at the harsh sound as he shrinks down onto the damp cot that was dragged into the corner of Davy’s cabin for him. He doesn’t know what else he can do, or say to spare himself from Davy’s ire. He can hear the Captain drag himself out of the bench he was say, his crab leg making thuds against the floor as he stomped along. Luke closes his eyes, not wanting to see that chilling gaze up close as his punishment was delivered...

Only to be left to his own as Davy trudged past him, swinging his door wildly open and then slamming it with such force that sound rumbled throughout the ship. 

Luke wills his heart to stop hammering away painfully in his chest, releasing out shaky exhales as he realizes he’s not being dragged out for another set of lashes. The fear and relief intertwine in a mixture that has Luke slumping down along the cot, curling himself up as tightly and small as he could to try and sap some warmth into his flesh.

He was fine.

He would be okay.

He could get through this.

Luke’s eyes fluttered rapidly, exhaustion easily causing him to succumb to slumber. Right before his world turned dark as the inky bottoms of the abyss, Luke though he heard Arrax’s trill carry through the ship.

-

Luke barely manages to stir awake due to two very different things. One of which, a heavy and thick long coat had been laid over his person, the article of clothing easily engulfing him and also damp (as was everything on this ship, be it damp, soaked, drenched or water logged.) However, it had managed to help seep some warmth into his body.

Second thing Luke’s groggy mind managed to pick up on, was that the locket was once more playing that lullaby.

Future!Miles and his siblings. Around 5 to 10 years in the future!

I actually finished this almost a month ago but I wanted to post this along with his future e4/partners and Lin design but I figured I'd post it now and the others later when I feel like finishing them.

More info:

Miles:

He is the champion of reborn obviously, the only one who have gotten close to beating him are Fern, Shelly, Cal, Saphira and Adrienn (Although that was only once and then never again.)

He's in his early to mid 30's.

He is married to Cal, Saphira, Ace and Taka! He proposed to Cal and Saphira, while both Taka and Ace proposed to him.

The ring on his right hand (Ruby stone) is the wedding ring from Cal.

The ring on his left hand (Sapphire stone) is the wedding ring from Saphira.

The ring hanging from his right ear (Emerald stone) is the wedding ring from Taka.

The ring hanging from his right ear which is intertwined with the Taka's ring (Amethyst stone) is the wedding ring from Ace.

He first married Cal, The Saphira and then Taka and Ace at the same time, they were already married to each other at that point which is why their rings are intertwined.

Laura is the one who inspired him to grow his hair out even more.

His boots has type designs based on his e4 members.

Still has the same color scheme as before besides his belt.

This design is close to his second appearance design but with more details.

David:

He is the pokemon professor of the reborn region, he studies the new world! He also helps Adrienn and Miles with new trainers who come to the region and does other stuff.

18-23 years old.

Still best friends with Noel.

Inspired to grow his hair out like his big brother.

Teaches at Onyx's trainer school sometimes.

Was the top student at Onyx's trainer school, he also graduated there.

Realized he's aromantic.

His outfit is pretty much the same from when he was a child but his shirt colors are inverted and he now wears a lab coat.

Rose:

World famous athlete (Track runner)

21-26 years old

Travels the world when competing in sports.

Still very close with Charlotte and Aya.

Is no longer as lonely and angry, she's also confident now.

Her outfit is now much more comfier and easy to wear, but still has a leather jacket.

Davis:

7-12 years old

Enjoys hanging out with Blake and Heather in the orphanage.

Thanks to Shelly enjoys a lot of reading.

He's got a full team of six nfe pokemon, all gifted to him by his family/friends.

Brionne (Miles)

Magby (Cal)

Dratini (Saphira)

Gible (Taka)

Fenniken (Ace)

Cleffa (Noel)

Miles and Davis live in the Belrose mansion with Miles's partners and Charlotte, Laura and Bennett. Rose technically lives there too, but due to a lot of traveling both in the reborn region and outside of it she tends to sleep in hotels/pokemon centers.

David used to live there with them, but David moved to Lower Peridot Ward to live closer to the Grand Hall for his job there.

Fan Reference Project: Masterpost

A masterpost of all the drawings I make for this project!

But what is this project?

This Fan References project is my goal to draw every (or nearly every) character from various fandoms. For some fandoms, I also plan to draw specific species if they're unique enough from irl creatures. The plan is to create a simple reference for each character consisting of at least one fullbody and flatcolor sketch, a color palette, and the character's name and the media they're from. These references will be posted daily. If you'd like to scroll through them all, every drawing will be posted under the tag wip: fan references and I will update this post as I go.

Included Characters

You can find a list of all the characters and creatures on this spreadsheet. Characters in white cells have already been drawn, though it's likely that if they are not linked here, then I have simply not posted them yet. I'm very willing to take suggestions, however, I make no guarantee of getting to it quickly/there's a chance it could take a long time for me to get to that character.

How will it work? What is the point?

Every day from January 1 (unless I specifically post that I am going on hiatus) I will be posting one of these references. At some point, I might increase the number of characters posted each day. I will be drawing these characters alphabetically, and they will be posted alphabetically. I will also be numbering each character in their post, both for the fun of seeing just how many characters there are and for organizational purposes. I wanted to do this for two reasons. The first is because I feel it would be good practice in drawing characters that aren't mine. I always feel like when I draw fanart based purely on grabbed images from media, there's always something off. Hopefully with a reference in my own style, it becomes easier to draw these characters. The other is so that I have my own clear reference for these characters, with an established color palette, so that I can draw the characters consistently.

Other Notes

This post could act as a notification post. At this moment (12/21) I'm unsure if people would want that. Just let me know if that would be a good idea, and I can post in the replies with a changelog of sorts once a week with which characters have been posted. All timelapses of these drawings are posted on my Instagram (@/ambersky0319) - at the moment (01/08) I don't intend to post them here.

Character Links

Below the cut is the actual masterpost portion with all the links. Unlike the posts themselves, which are posted alphabetically regardless of fandom, below the characters are organized by fandom. The fandoms are organized by character count, the fandoms with fewer characters first for the sake of scrolling.

So, you're probably wondering how I got Tray to show up for the most recent Uglydolls thing I posted. In that case, here's a behind the scenes look at that picture.

As you can see, I convinced my friend Amethyst to be changed into Tray for this. However, there were some inaccuracies from how her form first came out.

I mean, why did her form of Tray come out so chubby?

Sure, that's not the only issue, what with her having 5 visible teeth instead of 4 like Tray actually has.

Oh, and don't worry about me sounding like Amethyst as Moxy. I recently got the okay to have Moxy's actual voice (Kelly Clarkson), so my voice thankfully didn't make Amethyst feel weird.

This is the drummer I saw a week ago at Dizzy's Place. Just another Sunday night in Manhattan....

Billy Hart

Hart matriculated at Howard University as a mechanical engineering major, but left when Shirley Horn, who had hired him out of Abart’s, took him on the road. Hart credits her with teaching him to play bebop at a simmer, not a roar. He also learned Brazilian rhythms from the source on early ’60s sub jobs at Charlie Byrd’s Showboat Lounge with Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto and Bola Sete.

Hart apprenticed with Washington, D.C. native sons like Jimmy Cobb, Osie Johnson, Ben Dixon, Harry “Stump” Saunders and George “Dude” Brown. Through local connections, he had backstage access to the Howard Theatre, where he analyzed such master New Orleanian drummers as Idris Muhammad (the Impressions), Clayton Filliard (James Brown), Ed Blackwell and Earl Palmer (Ray Charles). In 1967, he occupied the drum chair in the theater’s house band performing with The Isley Brothers, Sam and Dave, Patti Labelle, Otis Redding and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles among others.

He was also a sideman with Jimmy Smith (1964–1966), and Wes Montgomery (1966–1968). Following Montgomery’s death in 1968, Hart moved to New York, where he recorded with McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Zawinul, and played with Eddie Harris, Pharoah Sanders, and Marian McPartland.

In 1969, Hart joined Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking Mwandishi band and remained there for four years recording three trend-setting albums. From there he joined McCoy Tyner’s band (1973–1974) and also performed with Stan Getz (1974–1977), and Quest (1980s) in addition to extensive freelance playing and recording (including recording with Miles Davis on 1972’s On the Corner).

Howard classmate Marion Brown introduced Hart to Sunny Murray and Rashied Ali. Hart increasingly self-identified as an experimental musician, drawing on their example in a trio with Joe Chambers on piano and Walter Booker on bass. Later, during mid and late ’60s stopovers in Chicago with Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery and Eddie Harris, he attended to the “textural, timbral approaches” of AACM drummers Thurman Barker, Steve McCall and Alvin Fielder. He applied those lessons during two years with Pharoah Sanders, a period when, via percussionist Mtume, he received the sobriquet “Jabali” (Swahili for “wisdom”). Hart’s mature tonal personality—advanced grooves drawing on “some knowledge of African and Indian music, and all the American traditions”—emerged during his years with Hancock’s Mwandishi band and subsequent tenure with McCoy Tyner.

Hart drew on all these experiences in conceptualizing Enchance, his debut album as a leader and subsequently, Oshumare (1985), Rah (1987), Amethyst (1993) and Oceans of Time (1997). On each record, he assembled idiosyncratic virtuosos from different circles, each signifying a stream of cutting-edge jazz thought. Functioning more as a facilitator than a stylist, he meshed their distinctive personalities, generating fresh ideas through intense drum dialogue. Each date has a singular quality, as though Hart had conjured a unitary vision out of various strains of the zeitgeist.

Hart currently leads the Billy Hart Quartet featuring Mark Turner, Ethan Iverson and Ben Street. They have recorded three CDs, the most recent, One is the Other, is on ECM Records.
