#D-Note and The Connection

[citizenhullabaloo]

April 18th 2024 /// D-Note and The Connection – LIVE @ Queens College 

My cover band played GLASA’s event, the Second Chance Prom. It was Victorian Era-themed with Goth and Steampunk added. I decided to go with a more goth, almost Gomez Addams vibe (with the half shaved/half painted mustache and smudged eyeliner around my eyes).

Special thanks to the coordinator of all LGBTQ related things at our old college, JC Carlson! Thanks to DJ Unico, our fellow collaborator at these events.

I’ll dig through my files to find our old performances from High School, as well as old QC events!

Hey-ho! I'm back again with some Apex Polarity art, but this time it's some designs for the humans' snow gear!

It started out with me just trying to figure out a design for y/n in my little comic, but then I thought it would be fun to also try and visualize the other humans, so here's my take of y/n, Vanessa and Michael! I really like how they turned out, although I don't think I got Vanessa's "patchwork" look quite right, but I still like where I landed. I added a blue scarf and I was really tempted to give her those red goggles, since it would've made her resemble Vanny even more, but in the end I desided against it.

So yeah- nothing too big this time, just something fun and easy!

But to round this off, I will of course credit the wonderful author @naffeclipse who is writing Apex Polarity, which you can go read if you click right here (can 100% recommend, especially if you like stories with a bunch of fluff, mystery and drama~!) and today I give credit to myself for the designs of the humans! ;P

This started out as just "hey I like both of these characters what if they interacted," but after seeing Melody crying about Kacho in chapter 400 I really wanted to draw her with someone who Gets It

if no one else will give them a hug... can they hug each other :'(

Oito & Melody both have a tendency to freak out a bit in stressful situations, so I wondered if they might amplify that in each other haha. But on the other hand I could see them empathizing with each other and maybe being able to comfort each other? (or maybe I'm just a bit delusional lol)

Interesting. I (Cypher) haven't been this present in ages. Probably because it's Halloween, which is the trauma anniversary of something that eventually led to my formation. I don't often front anymore, especially not without an external trigger. I fused so fully with Lior a while back, we were the first two to fuse and I only come more to the forefront in emergencies, which this is not. But it's been a difficult week for us and this is a trying time of year. I shouldn't be so surprised to suddenly find myself mostly alone in front I suppose. But I haven't fronted alone in at least a year, and it's somewhat odd to be here tonight. I suppose I'll be responsible and put us to bed? Because I really do not know what else to do, I feel very caught off guard being here like this.

my thing about poetry is that i don't think it's about finding new things to talk about. if you're only focused on finding new things to talk about then you're never going to get at anything with real deep truth to it because most things that real deep truth is in we've been talking about for millennia and whatever you scrounge up for the sake of novelty is only going to be more and more shallow. what i think poetry is really about is finding new connections. new ways to look at things. we talk about loss and how it hurts and we talk about the tragedy of forest fires but have you considered that loss is like a forest fire... have you considered that maybe the burning is part of nature and we can only love what we have while it's here... poetry is about building new synaptic connections that make your brain light up in ways that it hasn't before because you're seeing the world in a whole new way. and it's not because you're identifying things that are new. nothing is new etc. etc. we've all heard the mantras before. it's because you're finding ways to connect things together that sparks electricity in the mind. and that's what really makes poetry make the world seem new again.

"You matter. When you walk outside these doors, the world will do everything in its power to make you believe you don't...

But right here, I see everything you are... and you matter deeply.

Remember that, when the world is relentless in its pursuit to make you believe otherwise."

Maybe c&f jungkook confined in her when he was sad and has some sort of strong connection with her 🙁

C&F Jungkook; Who do you think understands you more? OC or OW? And why?

Jungkook: "____. I did not have that much of a connection with [redacted/OW]. There was something, but… not enough for her to know me. ____ has been my other half and anchor for years. There's no comparison here."

"Outplaced" sounds pretty angsty, especially with the note of past ZeRoyalChaos (this makes me scared). Can you tell more?

Gonna answer @teamstormbow's comment here too since I'm sure my reply would have been too long for a comment XD; So Outplaced and Don't Waste My Time!

Outplaced is angsty ngl! This is technically from my old 2014 dragon au and the story is meant to connect it to my new dragon au and setting. It’s about Chilled’s struggle after losing his whole flight, including his mate Ze, and how he’s desperately trying to come up with ways to fix it. Resurrection? Magic artefacts? Turn back time? He's ready to do and sacrifice everything he has left.

Eventually he remembers some old conversations with Ze, theorising about the possibility of a multiverse. Chilled never really understood the science of it but he was always more than happy to let Ze bounce his experiments and ideas off of him, and the idea of a multiverse was something Ze had been really passionate about. This leads Chilled to go through Ze’s old scrolls and research, and after some struggles, many trials and errors, a whole lot of time, and his unwavering resolve to see his mate again, he does manage to complete Ze’s equations. 

This of course only leaves the issue of finding, getting rid of, and taking the place of the Chilled in the new universe he’s entering. But that’s nothing a little bit of mind magic and some poison can’t fix!

Don't Waste My Time takes place some time after Outplaced, at which point Chilled has started to find his place within the new universe but is still learning about things (things like classes, bonds, and flights that I use for my saurian dragon setting are all new to him), but this is when he finally meet Ze! 

It’s bonding at first sight, which is kind of rare for adult dragons. Chilled is absolutely ecstatic, this Ze looks a little bit different from his old one, but it’s still very much Ze and he’s existed and so very emotional, and just barely able to keep it all underwrap. He still comes on a little bit too strong to Ze, who is intrigued by the sudden bond but a little overwhelmed with Chilled being, well, Chilled.

The narrative is mostly Ze and Chilled getting to know each other, while both of them are also unknowingly doing reconnaissance about the same magic artefact for their respective flights. It’s a lot of Chilled seeking out and approaching Ze at the most inconvenient moments, Ze kind of getting fed up with him, but also the two of them unknowingly helping each other out. Eventually they realise they’re after the same thing, team up, and Ze starts warming up to Chilled as they work together almost flawlessly once they’re on the same page :D
