[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

ok its me again hi AAAHHHH this is so nice i feel so warm im lying on my bed kickin my lil legs i cant believe this thank you for being nice omgggg now im on a roll im gonna say things about julian hkdhjgdgjf

only one song really that i scanned the whole tag looking for to see if anyone said it before and i was so surprised that i didnt find it and i went to check the official playlists on spotify cause maybe its on there already and thERE ISNT ONE WHAT???? i had the muriel one liked on here and id never checked any other ones out lmao but like i swear there had to be one?? like maybe they made it first and its somewhere separately??? julian is like the most popular one how the hell does he not get a spotify list is that how this tag was created?? *gasp* am i discovering the ~fandom lore~

(just gonna say you dont actually need to answer any of that in detail dont waste your time gksgkydgjf im just screaming into the void cause i was so flabbergasted after those 3 whole minutes of research i put into this)

ANYWAY the actual song would be House of Wolves by our lord and saviour MCR! its so good for him with his whole Woe is Me drama king vibe lol and the plaguey thematicssss mmmm delicious TELL ME im a BAD BAD BAD BAAD MAAAAN aight you lil masochist i see u and the "you better run like the devil cause they never gonna leave you alone" you get it caUSE HES A FUGITIVE DO YOU GET THE DEEP UNRAVELABLE METAPHORS DO YOU GET IT DO YOU G aight shut up hkhfjtdy anyway

ok i lied jystfhte heres another one i just remembered i really wanted to put here its not new but just in case somebody hasnt seen it yet lmao its such a masterpiece ill do anything to give it its due here ya go

https://youtu.be/61HltPN_k3g

and the other thing im really glad to have seen people mention here is musical songs cause thats one of the things i love about him the most like yass we love a thespian king slay grl so then anytime im binging a musical there always come the intrusive thoughts of "aw hed love this one" and "oh hed be great for this role" like i went to see f-ing swan lake with my f-ing grandpa and one of the major takeaways i got from the experience was (UH IM GONNA PUT A SPOILER WARNING HERE? I GUESS? IN CASE ANYONE CARES HELLO JULIAN BAD ENDING SPOILERS AHEAD DO MOVE ALONG NOW IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT AVERT YOUR GAZE CITIZENS LMAO LIKE YOU HAVENT SEEN FANARTS N ADS ALREADY ALRIGHT ALRIGHT) "omg jules would be so perfect as that bird guy villain IN HIS BIRD GUY SHAPE TOO OMG WITH THE WINGS ON STAGE THIS IS AWESOME WHY CANT I DRAW GOOD GODDA-"

anyway hed love hadestown (hed at least try to cast muriel as hades cause hes perfectly intimidating for it but theres way too many lines which okay Maybe but AND he has to sing???? nah hes out bkgdhkdt) i dont know what hed think of pierre natasha & the great comet cause its maybe a little eccentric i suppose but i think hed appreciate the cultural roots of the vibe with him being fantasy ruso-slav-ukrainian-whatnot heritage i reckon and hed definitely have a blast at a live performance and hed ABsolutely join in with the actors in between the rows at some point and theyd ABSOlutely let him cause hes that good and game recognize game cmon hes gonna show you amateurs what a real kazotski looks like

i can also see him enjoying sweeney todd, for its delightful edgyness, maybe even some themes relatable for him, and his sappy ass would SO memorise Pretty women to whip it out at an opportune serenading moment khgdturshc im so cringe and loving it

well i cant think of any more shows to throw him together with so thus ends my soliloquy wow i cant believe thats how you spell that anyway i hope anybody who knew what the hell im talking about enjoyed all that jgfztits see you in another 20 minutes when i come back like "AND ANOTHER thing-

Yay, it's the character song essays anon!! :D

I'm glad to see you back, and I will once again be re-linking the song you shared below and adding your suggestions to the tag ^.^

And frankly, I'm 76% certain that one of Julian's love languages is theatre, especially musical theatre. That could be tickets, that could memorizing the lines from one of this favorite scenes and reciting it back to him, it could be showing up to every single performance he's involved in :)

I'm glad to see you back in my inbox, friend, feel free to message me if you ever want to obsess over the characters together! Cheers -

Finally finished GO2 and I'm CRYING but I also wanted to add something to all the analyses going around. Spoilers under the cut!!!

Today we'll be talking about... Heaven as a Panopticon.

(just roll with it)

Look. A lot of people have made some really detailed and incredible analyses (and some truly breathtaking comics, fanfic, fanart, GIFs, and more!) After S2, but one thing I haven't seen anyone comment on yet is how open heaven is. This ties into the whole idea of heaven as not supremely good (because there's no such thing, even when you're not human enough to not be "perfect". I mean, you heard the angels ask Metatron "did we do something wrong?". Angels can do wrong!! Even they know this!!! So they aren't supremely perfect or powerful or good just by being Angels. They can still make mistakes; still learn human traits. Like love).

Anyway, my point is: look at Muriel. Their desk is so out in the open that Saraquel (how do I spell???) Literally just walked up to them and Crowley in the middle of their Secret Meeting™. Their desk is in the middle of the floor. Not even an office because it has no walls. It is just a desk, in the middle of the room. What the hell.

And it's implied that this is normal for Heaven (because otherwise Crowley would have commented, because, let's face it, he would have). This is in no way the only time we've seen evidence of this "honesty policy" being taken too far (what was that about "nothing to hide, nothing to fear"? What was that about this not being an "institutional problem"????). We have often seen meetings of the Top Brass of Angels, and you always see them in the middle of this huge open space. You can see walls around them, but those are the walls of a building, not a room (btw, are we going to talk about the entirety of Heaven being a single building? Or do we think that's just the building they have all those meetings in and all their plans and their globe thingy and other Angels work there and-).

Everything is open because everyone has nothing to hide because everyone is a perfect Angel. Everyone is perfect. But they're not!!! It is an instructional problem, in that people are waking up!!! They don't want to just be rubber stamps, perfect little snobs in their ivory towers, but they don't want to be in Hell with the Damned, so where else do they go? Crowley and Aziraphale were the first to realise that Earth could be a safe haven, a neutral ground. A home. Then Gabriel and Beelzebub did the same thing, and now Muriel... How long before more follow?

Forget hordes of Angels falling and fighting their brethren to become Demons, because they don't see another choice. Welcome to a safe neutral haven for every Angel who saunters vaguely downward, but does not wish to fall. Welcome to somewhere you don't have to be an Angel, constantly watched, or a Demon, constantly on your guard.

Welcome to Earth. You'll always have a safe place here; sit down, let me get you some hot chocolate.

(aka wouldn't it be cool if Muriel and Crowley turn the bookshop into a safe space for Angels and Demons looking to change and wanting not to be one or the other, but find their own way?)

But seriously, heaven as the embodiment of Panopticon: never hidden from prying eyes. Opposite to hell, full of locked doors, where you are always hidden and on your guard. Are you ready to find a middle ground?

OMG 3 CHILDREN?!

There are 2 girls in the Meddlesome verse (alternate canon). Muriel and her little sister who I never named whoops.

And in the Neighborhood AU (modern AU) there’s a baby boy who has no name and I refer to him as Tyke. The kids don’t actually have names in this AU though because Rogue’s child is nicknamed Baby.

This took me too long to edit...

Following on from completing inktober2019, here is the completed collection of my 2020 project "30 markers, 30 fanarts". The idea was to merge Inktober and Huevemeber practices into an end of year project with the added stipulation of every drawing being a fanart of a different character I love.

I wanted to try focussing on colour theory and composition for this project – markers seemed like the best traditional tool to really force me to. I don’t actually own a lot of markers, and what I do have isn’t necessarily artist grade. In and of itself, that was actually a reason I paid more attention to how I was using colour and how to vary it.

With some drawings, I kept it simple and just paid attention to how to layer the markers to get different effects. A few of these types were redraws of screenshots or official art and I feel like I really learned the most about actually using markers from those.

With others, I tried more interesting compositions to explore how to use colour in more dynamic or unusual ways. It was mostly on these that using markers gave me a lot of grief – I would often have an idea of what I wanted the outcome to be, but no idea on how to use markers to get there. There was a lot of experimenting. Some of it worked and some of it didn’t…

Also, for funsies, every drawing has some gold or silver on it somewhere. It wasn't planned but by the end, almost all of them had some anyway, so I went back and added it to what didn't. Even if that was one tiny dot in someone's eye somewhere.

At the end of this project, I have confirmed my previous conclusion that I just don’t like using markers that much (lol). I’ve definitely learned more about using them, how to layer them and how to use what I have to achieve different things. But I doubt they’ll ever be one of my go-to mediums.

Somehow, one of the hardest parts of this whole project was just coming up with 30 characters that I liked that fit into the colour schemes. In all honesty, there was some shifting and some finagling and some manoeuvring right up to the end of the project. But I’m happy with the set I chose; I think it’ll be interesting to look back at this selection in a few years and see who will have been replaced and what new characters will make it.

Overall, per usual, I went into this project boldly and bravely, regretted it halfway through, and now appreciate what I learned and accomplished at the end.

I’ll be posting my favourites individually/in pairs after I’ve cleaned them up some.

Young!Muriel stuff is hard to find these days

Hey Vesuvians! I am in the mood for some Mountainman goodness today ☺ I asked myself what Muriel's parents would have looked like - did anyone of you spotted some fanart of them somewhere already?

If not: Can we have the real stuff please? @thearcanagame ;)

(Equally happy about some good Young!Muriel fanfic recommendations ) 🐓🐔🐻😌

I have a problem

Question:

Am I just missing the fanart of Muriel with a beard? Like, it’s out there somewhere? Surely? 

If not, why not because I feel it’s essential and important. Mountain man = Mountain man beard it’s just science 

I would like to pull on it
