Anime Prism

It may has been a hot moment of not being able to upload content to my YouTube channel, due to juggling my final year of college and work. Now, I can finally showcase an AMV that I originally created as a project for my Senior Digital Art course for my fellow anime enjoyers! You can click on the video and give it a watch :3

...the 'almond room' thing in the unwanted guest IS a reference to/play on words on amygdala, right? (amygdala comes from the greek word for almond!) I didn't read that wrong? it is stupid sexy Ianthe coyly inviting Palamedes into a different chamber of her brain, as it were?

(also the pieces of meat -- the feeding or kissing, it's hard to say which of it all -- being present right from the beginning... ianthe DOES know exactly what has happened to her, doesn't she. palamedes is just cutting his way through her layers of denial and repression all merciless and scalpel-like to get her to admit it. or, she knows subconsciously at least -- each person comes in and feeds her something that she's helpless to stop from becoming a part of her even in her coffin, with bloody kisses. oh baby love is feeding me bad meat and I have no choice but to swallow it down. like yeah I suspect that is how human contact can feel when your sense of self and boundaries developed to be a specific kind of Fucked Up lol. that shit could make a person dream of being a diamond in a glass of wine; perfect, inviolable, untouchable, eternally separate and safe. In the words of Andrea Gibson in Prism:

They say the womb is where we learn love is knowing the cord that feeds you could at any moment wrap around your neck

that is quite literally ianthe's first introduction to love -- her sister, a cord around her neck. Corona is Ianthe's other self, a second soul running around outside of her body, and she seems to consider herself as responsible for (and entitled to) the preservation of Corona's soul as her own. the way this mirrors that growing up, Ianthe had to be two necromancers in one body to let them stay together. (twins and ghosts all the way down I guess.) she's still just trying to do the same thing, I think, she's simply put on some bigger boots about it. the central problem of lyctorhood, self vs. connection/love, rears its head once again -- Ianthe existentially wants total self-contained self-sufficiency, perfect control, sovereign sway and masterdom over her soul... but she wants that at the same time as being in uninterrupted (uninterruptible!), eternal and indelible intimacy with her sister, whose soul also cannot be allowed to change. which, you know. freedom and love don't coexist the way you want them to, Ianthe, no matter how clever you are there won't be a way to get what you want. (especially not with a sister whose idea of what love is seems to go more towards being consumed, made one, by whatever violence necessary -- 'she could have taken me'.) man. Ianthe is a spectacular and ongoing piece of work, but sometimes it's hard to see how she could ever have turned out otherwise considering the conditions she was born and raised under haha.

the two-way street of the horror of digestion, whether you're the devourer or the devouree. part of you in me, part of me in you, whether either of us likes it or not we're both changed by this. bad news: you can't get out of interconnectedness by finding the cleverest loophole around it, ianthe. nice try, though)

so what's going on in that brilliant mind of yours, doctor p?

If you've been wondering where I've been. I definitely should be drawing anything else right now but...I got dragged back into one of my old interests and I was more than happy to mash that and IEYTD together. It was fun designing all of them to resemble Prism in some way, ehehe.

This is Shadow and Rouge in Sonic Prime (Remastered). This isn’t a clear HD picture on them but this is all I could get.

i don't think you've made a solaris design yet.... but am i allowed to request solaris anyways. or will i get beaten with two billion hammers until i die. for this.

No hammers for you, these asks hold me accountable to actually design the characters...

Filled a double page spread with just her...thus the 'Oops! All Solaris'

On THAT note, +2 sketchbook pages filled, 6/30 completed. I have 2 weeks until my hand in so I gotta pick up the pace. Blimey.

You remind me of her (/derogatory?)

Uugughgh.

So I bought a new monitor. NGL emulating Aikatsu had something to do with it but also I've been wanting one for a while and saw a $79 flash sale at Walmart. But I'm still using my laptop screen primarily out of habit.

My desktop background is rotating screenshots from a few things, but most of them are from King of Prism SSS episode 8 because I love the aesthetic of that episode specifically. But I usually never actually see my backgrounds since I've always got windows up.

So now I'm working on my blog or whatever and I keep looking up to see stuff like this......

And it's starting to give me some............... EmOTIons...........

After finishing watching the episode on a ⁠groupwatch, I can definitely give this ep a 10/10!

My main highlight is definitely Mashiro. We've seen just how distraught she was at how she felt that she was unable to protect Elle in ep 31 and even after Elle showed herself as Majesty last week, she is still feeling pretty nervous and anxious at the end of the ep. This ep addressed that point and oh my, they did a really good job at it.

Throughout the whole ep she has been really worrying at Elle's safety and she really doesn't want Elle to get hurt despite knowing that she can defend herself now. Sora reassuring Mashiro that Elle's going to be okay by reminding Mashiro that she had done the same to Sora all the way in ep 5 and Elle being able to speak her own thoughts to Mashiro got me close to tears as it's emotionally a perfect pay off to Mashiro's self-esteem arc. It's so, so good 🤍

You know what I find super charming about long running actual play shows? When one player's characters across different campaigns follow one, small theme, like Emily's love for multiclassing or Liam's characters having fancy magical boots (Boots of Haste in C1, Stormrider Boots in C2 and now Boots of Striding and Springing that Orym has)

Do you think Prism after IEYTD3 would do anything to honor the rest of her robots who didn't escape the factory explosion

Oh absolutely. She loved those silly little guys! She dedicated so much work, time and effort to make them real and they were there with her and she loved every single one of them. She didn't have to get attached, after all they were just another project, but she chose to love and appreciate them as they were. She was probably under the assumption that they'd outlive her, being robots and all, but that explosion definitely crushed her heart. I don't know if she could find it in her to make another robot after that.

I think if she finds time to slow down after the third game's end, she'd let herself properly grieve her loss and honor their memory. Probably something that involves a spare part that she brought with her, a core, a bit of kinesium...but yeah.
