The Hightower family are full of artistic and hardworking people. A modern take on the jobs and passions that the Hightower family would have as well as the lives that they choose to live.

Helaena Hightower: The young women and mother of three owns her own antique/bookstore. She created the designs for the shop herself. The shop is a popular site that many know and have heard of. She shares her three children with her husband, Aegon. In order to make the shop feel more like a home, she brings her cats to work with her so that people can pet them while they search for antiques and books.

Alicent and Aegon Hightower: The mother and son duo co-own their bakery together. The bakery is a great success and is a large tourist attraction. Aegon likes to bring the kids with him to work so that they can try out the new pastries, and Alicent loves to have them help her around the shop. They also share cat that lives at the shop. The mother and son both share a love for sweet things and it was the ultimate reason that they decided to open up the bakery.

Aemond Hightower: The young man is a well known author. While he is rather private, he loves to spend time at his elder sisters book shop where he writes most of his stories. He lives with his two elder siblings Aegon and Helaena and their three children as well. He has a talent for creating worlds and writing words that make people feel emotions they never knew existed.

Daeron Hightower: The young man is making his way into the working world one step at a time. While he still lives with his mother, Alicent, he is in culinary school. He hopes to one day own his very own restaurant which he plans to name “Ali’s Table”. He is a hard working young man and he spends most of his free time with his family and friends closest to him.

Postmaster favouritism caught live on camera

(clip taken from Pearl’s stream on 18/03/2024, transcript below!)

(All of Gem’s are from the chat)

Pearl: Beef…Beef does—

Gem: I have 0 Pearl stamps

Gem: What is this

Pearl, reading chat: Zero—

Pearl: Wait, how— how do you have zero? What do you— What do you mean? How do you have—

Pearl: Oh. Oh.

Pearl: Oops.

Pearl: I see. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. I haven’t given everybody my stamps yet. I haven’t sent mine out yet, because mine went out late last week. I haven’t sent the packages yet. I was waiting for Mumbo and Jev to go in.

Gem: 4 Pearl stamps please

Pearl: Wait, is Mumbo and Jev— I was waiting for Mumbo and XB to go in.

Pearl, reading chat: Four Pearl stamps— Four?!

Pearl, typing: That’s…

Pearl: Gem— She’s trying to get more stamps out of me. I’m tempted to just give her four, honestly.

Gem: yes im not everyone else

Pearl: Uh… I’ve got these set up. Do I have any extras? Hm…please?

Pearl, reading Gem’s message: “I’m not everyone else”, it’s a true statement, she’s not wrong. She’s not wrong.

Pearl: One, two… Gosh darn it, I kinda wanna make a funky pattern with it. Hm… What’s the best way to set up four stamps? There we go.

Pearl: There we go. Hold on, hold on, I got you, Gem. Hold on. Hold on.

Pearl: Eh. Let’s do it. Just ‘cause she asked nicely, y’know? She asked nicely.

Pearl: There we go. *giggles*

Steve with a cardboard cutout of his famous rockstar boyfriend

couldn’t decide which one I like better so here’s both :]

[sforzesco]

this is a scrapped scene from Trikaranos & originally it joined a standalone series of comics from Pompey’s point of view, but it got scrapped from THAT set too because I decided they both needed to be weirder and worse and this is kind of vanilla ngl. however I’m still kind of fond of it in some kind of way, and it’s been a second since I’ve posted a comic! also I wanted to draw it. so I did.

for context: Crassus cut his hand open helping Pompey out with something in a previous scene! for more context: the answer to Pompey’s question is a reliable (business/political) partner. that’s about it!

one thing that really fascinates me about alex is his devotion to art – and more specifically, how he chooses to get some inspiration from scientific works of what he aims to implement in his art. every time one gets to examine some of his lyrics, or even how he explains these lyrics in an interview, they can be greeted by some bits of actual scientific information. an example is how he named his taquería on the moon with the term “information-action ratio”, coined by the critic neil postman, and referenced it in the song four out of five, something that might also indicate an interesting articulation with postman's concept. the line “cute new places keep on popping up”, for example, can express his well-known sardonic discontent regarding the flood of information being generated and transmitted over and over and, as much as it seems visually appealing and does give the idea of benefiting from advanced technologies, it doesn't really add anything substantial to the receiver's critical thinking – and worse, it distances the information receiver from the sender in a communication channel, according to postman.

what i'm saying with this interpretation is, it's known that alex is enamoured with the idea of gathering a bunch of references and condensing them into a mixture of metaphors in his writing, but it's so thrilling how, at times, we can find some bits of science inside of it – and it's even more exciting, just like playing a puzzle game, to find these references and analyse them by doing a similar research to what he did to create his works.

I am obligated to ask anyone with phighting requests open to draw voidstar :3

Psycho ass dog….

[bananasbyler]

Okay so this WAS the outfit that Will was shown in. Bylers who aren’t tired (not me) maybe examine the clear photo to see if there’s any hints to anything 👀

Poor Finn and the heat, RIP (rip sleeves buh dum tss)

Also who is this?? I saw someone/multiple say it’s Holly. She seems to have grown up within ONE year or even before a time skip (character not actors)

I’m assuming the Holly assumptions are right because there’s the two actors seen here (and obviously child actors need two because of the law)— I wonder what the colorful outfit is for though??

It’s almost 7 am, I’m tired, catch me up in replies or something 💀

[skyblueartt]

I’m very very tired and I’m too lazy to color these sketches BUT I wanna share em because I think I’m gettin my William design down 💥💥!!

[sleepyc63]

Any tips for drawing rw anthro? You draw them so well I'd love some anatomy tips n stuff..

sure!! and thank you!!! that means a lot :))

i'll try to break down my style to the best of my ability, though im very bad at explaining things so i hope it makes enough sense :')

i try to keep them very animal like, the only things i make human-like are the arms and the torso (and the upright pose, obviously)

if you'd like to use an irl reference, i suggest a human for the things mentioned above, and an animal (ex. dog, cat) for the legs.

i personally give them three fingers and two toes, so just don't reference any irl animals for that, but if you need help with hands, i've always used my pointer and middle finger and take a picture of the pose i need.

i didn't include the tail cause i don't put much thought into how i draw the tail, if you wanted a ref for that its in the lineart below :))

same as above, but the shape of the scug is outlined.

lineart reference, for the clothes (i am not good at detailed clothes(yet!!!) so i apologize if you wanted something like that :')) i also draw everyone barefoot but i cant see shoes being too difficult to draw in this style.

finished result!! ft. survivor and gourmand. i hope this made sense lol

[satoruxx]

tee hee next chapter of wolf!toji is almost done !!

[twinksintrees]

so i am absolutely obsessed with @play-rough’s classification au on ao3 and it got to the point where i needed to make a whole playlist dedicated to it, so here it is, i hope you all like it.

playlist breakdown under the cut

understand: it’s the first song on here because of @/knoxx.tbox’s animatic, it’s gorgeous and everyone should check it out. it captures the gentle, caring part of their relationship perfectly.

little space: it’s just a song about little space, i also found the line “and i start to give in/to the sin/to the sin” very fitting for dazai because of just how much he hates his little head space.

hazel: sad tired dazai vibes, it makes me think of the second fic where he stays up all night, trying to drop but can’t, and the poor baby is just so out of it. ���hold me tightly” he wants chuuya to hold him so, so badly. but he can’t say that, he can never just say what he wants, so he has to wait until he drops and then he has no choice, and he hates it. but yeah it also just soft sweet comforting vibes to me.

smoke signals: this one’s weird cuz unlike most of the songs on here where they’ll apply to either dazai or chuuya, this one has a stark divide of both. the first few lines “i know i’m a freak/ripped the band aid, broke the peace/took the lock but lost the key/guess i set you free” are so dazai it hurts. he thinks he’s a freak, he hates himself for his regression, he thinks leaving and getting out of chuuya’s space and life is setting him free from dazai. but that’s not what chuuya wants, the rest of the song is all about chuuya always welcoming him back, always wanting him there when he’s upset, wanting to be there and to help him. he wants to take care of his baby and for his baby to let him.

almost home: this one just gave me very gentle sweet vibes. it also made me think of the car ride back to chuuya’s apartment after dazai bit tsu and walked back to his shipping container alone and regressed, and just chuuya lulling small dazai to sleep and holding him, happy to have his baby back.

moon river: i wanted at least one nice lullaby on here and this is what my mom would always sing me so it’s just very personal to me lmao. just picturing chuuya humming/singing it to little dazai makes me v happy.

treehouse: the childhood friends vibe. “i’m the captain/but you can be the deputy” just like, describing their bond together. the closeness, the trust, all that.

escapism: this one’s all about dazai. him wanting to be free from his pain and wanting to be free from his little space, while also using his little space to escape his pain, if that makes sense.

beautiful boy: first off this songs just makes me insane second oughhhh chuuya singing it to dazai would end me. he’s chuuya’s boy, his sweet little baby. and chuuya will always be here for him, will always keep him safe, will always do his best to quiet the overwhelming voices in his head. they’re so soft it makes me unwell.

yellow: also a chuuya one, he’d do anything for baby dazai. he would bleed himself dry if it came down to it.

i need to be alone: dazai angst. the isolating himself when he feels little space coming on. the antsy-ness, the irritability, all of that. he doesn’t want to snap at chuuya, but he doesn’t know what else to do, doesn’t know how else to handle it. so he lashes out and somehow, still, chuuya is there. he hasn’t pushed him away yet. dazai doesn’t think he can handle the day he hits his limit.

i’ll die anyway: similar vein to the above. sad dazai.

juliet: the opening verse is so dazai core to me it hurts. “but i need to understand/when I can power through/and when i need some help from you/when i should stand my ground/and when i need to just sit down/sometimes i act like i know/but i’m really just a kid” all of this speak to dazai and his relationship with chuuya, specifically with accepting his help with his little space. he doesn’t know what to do, how to handle anything, when he’s little he is just a baby. chuuya knows what to do, what will help him feel better, knows how to take care of him and make him feel good. and dazai has mixed feelings on that, because he loves chuuya and he loves his attention, but it hurts to receive sometimes, and it hurts to not know what’s going on with himself, and that chuuya knows better what to do. he feels out of control and he doesn’t like it, but he still trusts chuuya and yeah it’s a whole thing.

i’ll keep you safe: chuuya song. very straight and to the point, chuuya just wants to keep dazai safe and happy and he wants to protect him, be there for him, quiet all the bad thoughts in his head. he knows how much it takes for dazai to regress at all, and the fact that he keeps doing it around chuuya (even though sometimes it is out of either of their control) just proves a huge amount of trust and chuuya values that so deeply, and that is a bond he would never dream of betraying or breaking.

rises the moon: imma be honest this one’s just for the soft vibes. i could see chuuya humming it as a lullaby, but mostly it just made me feel soft and happy so i put it on here.

small hands. this song. this song oh my god. i love this song so much it hurts. anyway it’s chuuya talking to dazai, “if you need come build your home in me, i can’t fix what was done to you, but i’ll shield you from the rain.” it’s chuuya knowing he can’t go back and erase dazai’s past, but being here for him now. he’s here now, and he’ll be here in the future. “cause i never mind, no matter the day or time, i never mind” chuuya would do anything to be there for dazai, it’s him telling him to reach out for help, telling him it’s okay, telling him he truly doesn’t mind, he wants this. he wants to care for him, to help. “and all the anchors that they hid inside your chest/we will unravel all of the chains/toss the remnants all down the drain” the anchors and chains being the trauma mori’s instilled about little space being bad. that dazai’s not supposed to, that he just push through and push it down and be fine. it’s chuuya telling him that’s not how it works, but together we can get you to regress safely and see that it’s not bad, it doesn’t have to scary, it can even be fun sometimes. it’s the slow process of working through all that trauma. “i will be there to pick up the pieces, and keep you housed while you bend them up” literally just chuuya always trying to have dazai over. his apartment is so much better than dazai’s shipping container. like just objectively. “if you wind up in the dark again/just turn and call my name/if the fire in your chest goes out/well i’ll hold you all the same” this whole bit also makes me think of after dazai bit tsu. “if you wind up in the dark again” is dazai going back to his container alone and scared. dazai doesn’t even need to call chuuya’s name before he’s showing up to help him, even if it’s a bumpy ride getting on the same page. “well i’ll hold you all the same” goes for chuuya’s feelings towards dazai in general. he wants to care for dazai in and out of headspace, it’s just the type of care looks different depending on where dazai’s at. sometimes it’s holding him in his arms, sometimes it’s pulling him back from a ledge. sometimes it’s gently feeding him a bottle, sometimes it’s forcibly fighting him into dry, clean clothes so he doesn’t get sick. and now for my favorite line “if you need to take this out on me/well you know i won’t complain” it’s chuuya never getting angry at dazai’s outbursts in headspace, cuz he knows how hard it is, how hard his baby is trying, he just doesn’t know what else to do with his overwhelming feelings. so chuuya takes his outbursts and handles them, and he’ll never hold them against his baby, because he’s literally just a baby what else is he supposed to do but cry and lash out when he’s tired and grumpy.

tired: sad tired dazai and specifically the line “cause i’ve been eating less all day/to give my brain some extra space to think.”

coffee: I know it’s called coffee but honestly this makes me think of chuuya prepping dazai’s bottles, making sure it’s just the right temperature, the right flavors for his baby. vanilla and strawberry, something more special than just milk. it’s cute.

feb 14: honestly i just kept coming back to this song and the playlist didn’t feel complete without it but i couldn’t tell you why, i don’t have a real detailed reason for it other than vibes.

this side of paradise: chuuya not wanting dazai to feel lonely/be alone and scared while in headspace. “come be lonely with me” all that jazz. i chose the slow version cuz the og felt to fast paced and overwhelming compared to the rest of the playlist, and i this fit it better.

thoughts on marius and sulla?

there’s something old and and hungry and “same” going on in there, it’s very ‘yesterday's orgy was disgusting. The fight for the throne is about to begin,’ and then it repeats. ‘A hole in any body is a very intimate thing,’ and ‘Who can tell if the body wants to be opened? How is it meant to be cut? A carcass only welcomes the touch of a master,’ and the body is Rome and the Body is a Carcass and probably a Stage and Sulla sort of came out of Marius’ rib cage, so did the hand really change? is any of this different? everyone wants to be the next surgeon that gets his hands on Rome. things are different, things are the same.
