Here's a big old Fire Emblem Search & Find I did for the FE3H Masquerade Zine! Find the Golden Deer, but see if you can't find the rest of the students as well! For the ultimate challenge, see if you can't name every character! (Disclaimer two characters are NPCs with no names)

POV: the chalkboard in the lab

i had a vision while making a study guide for my calc final that’s tomorrow

what the writing says if anyone can’t read it:

J: What are you doing, V?

V: … integrating the, erm, effect of the hexcore’s magnetic field on electrons that enter the path defined by…

J: Not that, I mean your hand — the flapping?

V: What… do they not teach the right hand rule topside

J: the what???

V: for… hmm… vector directions and current?

J: Oh! I usually just hold my fingers in the directions

V: … one of those hmph

originally for my thesis i was gonna like, focus on each aspect of the prague astronomical clock like its history, its function, and its design separately - but even other than this scope was way too big for me, the design IS the function. like, obviously, It's A Clock........ but! the reason the face plate has multiple colors is because they represent the time of day. the blue field is day, the orange is dawn and dusk, and the black circle is night. the placement of the sun symbol indicates the placement in the day cycle. I Know I Know It's A Clock Of Course It Does That but it's different to how we're used to reading clocks in this day and age.

anyway it reminded me of first year of watchmaker school, when we were learning to blue steel, a process that gives steel a specific material quality and also turns it blue. you might see high end watched that have blue hands and blue screws, for example, and it's not Just for the aesthetic, it's a sign of quality, but it has BECOME a preferred aesthetic BECAUSE of the quality. my teacher asked me if i, as a former art history student, knew whether it was common for something to Become Beautiful because it was a Desired Quality. i didn't have a good answer at the time but i have clearly not stopped thinking about it. i think it's a kind of survivorship bias - something can be the most aesthetically pleasing and beautiful but it won't really matter if it crumbles to dust within a couple years and there's no way for future generations to appreciate it. it doesn't make it less beautiful, only that we have no clue it ever existed. so in that sense, the beauty of functionality persists

Simon felt like the floor was being pulled from under him.

Simon feels like the floor is being pulled from under him. He barely manages to hit the button on the machine, slowing down his treadmill before he can trip and land on his ass.

Cause, damn, that would be a fucking great first impression, right? You catch a hot guy walking past you, in a distractingly tight polo (leaving nothing up to the imagination) and distractingly loose shorts (leaving everything up to the imagination, and if there's one thing Simon has it's a strong imagination, alright) and you forget how to use your legs? A+ game.

Simon swears he isn't gonna look again, because this isn't appropriate and he's only here for training and he's pretty sure that imagining what those silky looking strands of hair would feel like between his fingers does not count as training. But when he reaches for his water bottle, hoping that this will help him calm down and think straight (or at least a little less gay for the time being), he almost chokes on his first sip.

Because right there, across the room, the stranger is sitting on the bench press, legs spread in a way that is not helping that straight thinking at all, and looking right at him, gaze intense in a way that should be illegal and lips curled into a slight smile. Maybe Simon is dreaming, maybe he did actually fall and hit his head after all, because it's only once he knows Simon is watching that the stranger lies down and reaches for the bar.

Simon is definitely fucked.

sjsjdjdjd thank you so much for this prompt!!! 💜💜💜 at this point... let's just not count the sentences.... also sorry for the tense change

Send me "Wilmon" + a sentence and I'll write the next five

*Itachi, Konan and Tobi standing outside of Deidara’s bedroom door*

Konan: Tobi, you’re his partner, right? Get in there and tell him!

Tobi: No way, Konan-chan! Tobi doesn’t want to get blown up! Itachi-san should do it; Senpai already doesn’t like him, so it won’t matter if he gets mad or not …

Itachi: I still don’t see the issue.

Konan: With those eyes, of course you don’t see an issue, Itachi! Fine, I guess this falls on me —

*Konan raises her hand to knock when the door is suddenly pulled open by Deidara, looking annoyed*

Deidara: I have ears, you know. I can hear you guys out here talking. What do you want, hm?!

Konan: It’s … well …

Itachi, bluntly: These two have an issue with your wearing that makeup.

Deidara: Seriously? I thought that our organization was a little more progressive than this, hm! Show me a written law that says that men can’t wear makeup!! You can’t, because one doesn’t exist! I have the right to —

Tobi: Senpai, that’s not the issue. We don’t care that you wear makeup!

Konan: We care that you’re wearing it wrong.

Deidara: … Wrong?

Tobi, taking off his mask and leaning close, in Obito voice: Look at my face. You see how my foundation is blended so well that you can’t hardly tell I have it on? Thats how it’s supposed to look, not all splotchy and erratic like yours.

Konan: And you need a better mascara. Your lashes should be lifted and separated, not all clumpy.

Itachi: Your eyeliner is nearly perfect in application, BUT you should consider switching to a waterproof brand. When you sweat your eyes start to look like raccoon eyes.

Konan: C’mon guys, let’s go to our rooms and get our gear. It’s more than time we gave our youngest member a good tutorial!

*Konan and the two boys run off*

Deidara:

Deidara: … I don’t know whether to be offended or excited, hm …

ppl saying they look to my comics for inspiration and pointers on how to format things is WILDDDD to me (and delightful don't get me wrong!! i am overjoyed) because like. none of you are privvy to the absolute WAHHH I DONT WANNNAAA bitchfits i was *CONSISTANTLY* throwing every time i forced myself to make a comic before i got into isat. like no joke. i considered comics such a fucking difficult medium they always drained my drawing energy so hard because they always felt like they took sooo long and had so many moving parts and were so much harder than storyboards (WHICH I ALREADY STRUGGLED WITH) because you had to account for panel shape and speech bubbles and-- like you get it. but genuinely for real. the sheer amount that i complained whenever i clawed my way through drawing a comic (which thus! was not very fucking much!!) compounded by the fact that i *genuinely have trouble reading comics*. as in, i really struggle to parse the flow of contiguous movement or action between panels (possibly connected to the fact ive got mad aphantasia?) of even really well done best-of-the-best professional comics...

... BUT. basically. what im trying to get at is. if you wanna learn to draw comics, evidently you super can?! I genuinely *didnt* draw comics before drawing isat fanart! I have no idea what it was about ISAT fanart that made it finally click for me? (I think it was... not having to think about colour? Removing a step from the process really helped. Plus, it being fanwork meant I could just start en-medias-res and not have to think about setup... Trying to cram too much explanation and setup into my oc stuff was always a big hurdle too...)

I find them fast to do now! and damn if i dont value speed in art (<- impatient little fucker). its still going slowly on my oc comics.. mostly due to the colour again, i think. but it's not extremely, ecruciatingly difficult anymore. is what im saying. and im genuinely baffled by it every time i put pen to page. its fucked up. did you guys know that practice makes things easier? . fucking perverted if you ask me.

As for looking at other people's things for inspiration. if you want to know where I was looking when I was piecing together the first couple fancomics I did for ISAT i want to specifically point at . well besides everything rebecca sugar has ever done (for hands and facial expressions *especially*), the main person i really dug into the work of was Leo Fox (Website link). I feel like i wanna point people to the source of a lot of the inspiration for my more off-kilter panel choices so you all can get the full experience rather than through my regurgitated mimesis. I'm now at the point where i can wing panel layout so i wasn't in there for longgg but. everyone go add it to your knowledge banks as for SUBJECT MATTER aka why i am i so deranged. those are squarely the 2019 postcanon homestuck golden era bleeding through my CLENCHED BITTEN DOWN JAW. A BULL TERRIER ON YOUR BRACHIAL ARTERY. namely that @/floralmarsupial and @/tomatograter's works (no i am not tagging them . im shy) are things i go back to frequently and floralmarsupials pure black/white inktober comics were *especially* an inspiration. if you've been following me a few months you may remember me reblogging a bunch of their stuff from 2019~2021 for seemingly no reason. this was why. The narratively divorced reality of jade strider & Liminal Space are big in my mind here. I balk to call myself anywhere near as good as these but these are what i'm aiming for, tonally and quality-ways with it. also detective pony but ive mentioned that already and thats farrrr too inside baseball for this post.

BUT YEAH TL;DR: I DIDNT DRAW LIKE ANY COMICS UNTIL UHHHH LIKE, WHAT, LIKE 8 MONTHS AGO? JESUS. ANYWAY. THIS MEANS YOU 🫵🫵🫵 CAN DO IT TOO. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. DATTEBAYO!!!!
