What song makes you feel better?

The Last by Yoongi is always a good one - especially if I'm angry or really frustrated because it let's me get out my bad mood. Some other go to songs are River by Leon Bridges, Line of Sight by ODESZA and Spider by Hoshi (forgive me Hoshi for I have sinned)

15. Comfort food?

CHICKEN WINGS. GARLIC PARM. BUFFALO. LEMON PEPPER. IN THAT ORDER.

28. What are you proudest of?

Figuring out how to stay alive to be totally transparent! There are a lot of times when just going another day was really difficult for me and seeing the way through Life was something I actively had to contemplate and workout and now I am in a lot better of a place and it's not something I have to Actively Do now!

I love u

Send me soft asks

Dragon with a metal as fuck (literally) prosthetic wing!!

More Prosper content :D I feel an indescribable amount of love for this dragon. And the cool ass wing designs I can give her.

Even though the entire concept of this prosthetic functioning is quite literally impossible, I still put some actual thought into the design’s fictional functionality (hey that was alliteration).

The wing is piloted with a rod that is connected to her remaining organic wing that synchronises the movements (think Toothless’ automatic tailfin). The fingers of the wing are connected together at the top and don’t all independently move, it’s based on a rig that is controlled by the very outer finger. If that one is half folded in the other 5 fingers will correspond with that, if it is fully extended the other five will correspond with that etc etc. The fact that her wings have to by synchronised is by no means easy to operate. She cannot do most basic manoeuvres in the air, even turning to the left/right whilst in flight is extremely dependant on her secondary hip wings and her tail fins. It is nowhere near having a real, attached to her body wing, but it still gives her the ability to fly again. And long distance flying is still a pain in the ass because the massive scars all along the right side of her body get irritated after a while.

A lot of the thought behind the design came from how odd it felt that httyd 3 just… got rid of Toothless’ disability? Like yeah he was still missing a tail fin but it might as well just have grown back. He has a new, fully functional, doesn’t need to be taken off, apparently doesn’t even need maintenance, fire proof and extremely durable prosthetic that just allowed him to function as if he wasn’t disabled? In the Viking age as well?? Even in the modern day we don’t have prosthetics that can fully restore permanent, none skin irritating, doesn’t need to be fixed up ‘replacement’ limbs. Yes there are some very high quality prosthetic limbs that can restore a lot of functionality and give a very good quality of life, but it is not a new limb. It’s a prosthetic. It doesn’t change the fact that there is a missing body part. It doesn’t completely replace every single functionality of a real limb? The film just entirely disregarded that fact that Toothless had a disability. Just slap a technologically impossible bit of gear work on his tail and BOOM he’s fixed. No that’s not how that works you fucking idiot 😭 His skin would get irritated, the fin would eventually need to be repaired because again IT WAS THE MEDIEVAL ERA. I know Hiccup was smart but girl he was not smart enough to invent an indestructible replacement body part. We can’t do that in 2024, let alone 1000 or whenever the fuck httyd is set.

Anyway going off that rant, whilst Prosper does regain the ability to fly, it is very limited, not for long periods of time and kind of painful. Because that’s what happens when you get a whole ass limb torn from your body. It tends to hurt and not be ‘fixable.’

"The dragon in Damsel looks like shit. The Game of Thrones dragons look so much better, they'll always top it." Wrong. All the dragons in got/hotd aren't even dragons. They're wyverns.

I find it hilarious that like, most popular headcanons/ideas of HMS come from something that's in the actual album. Whether its the cover art or from a lyric, it makes sense with context or a metaphor. Then there's just a random ass chicken that came from nowhere.

......vash wing tutorial?? Pls?? On like how you color them?

oh gods a wing tutorial? Colouring this is using as many digital artist cheats as possible but I will endeavour to explain. First I fill it on 1 flat colour like this!

I then add where I want the glow spots to go like this:

they're just flat dots i try to make as patchy as possible!! Then I add in where the shadows go, to make it more obvious what is on top and what is on the bottom and to make some of the feathers stand out just a smidge more. This took like 2 multiply layers and a light grey-lilac colour if you're curious.

then I run over it with a bit of lighter blue overlay to make the feathers pop more!!

more digital art magic: using gradient maps. I saw someone do it once! Tbh all this does is give my colours a bit more depth. I choose a gradient of colours i'm fond of (usually pink blue purple because I CAN. Beaming bisexuality on all my art lets go-) and then i just run a soft brush over areas on the masking layer, I want to retain the original colours and leave the bits where I don't mind for it to be darker cause its not the focus areas.

and then I once again run through with another 2 overlay layers of light blue to give it that nice blue sheen!

Then its my favourite part!! Colour dodge layer! This is where I start adding glows and speckles with a glow and speckle brush, to make things start looking glowy! I abuse this way too much. You can probably cut back a little, unlike me. I also line some of the feathers for a bit of light reflection. I threw in some purple for that galaxy feel :>

thats it! Sorry its not as uh, in depth as maybe people are hoping?? I just use a lot of layers an experiment until it looks the way I want and that I'm happy with. I'm glad people are enjoying how I do his wings 😭

comic writers are in the comic business so you'd assume they've...You know, read comics. but from what I see they don't do that apparently.

HSR 2.1 Commentary (Xipe)

[Featuring screenshots and spoilers and a whole lot of spaghetti on the wall.]

Given that Xipe is widely regarded as a plural Aeon (an amalgamation of entities from multiple celestial worlds that share an ideal), my understanding of "The Family" is as follows:

The actual number of civilizations and worlds assimilated into Xipe's "Family" is currently unknown. So the Family in Penacony is only a part (Chapter) of the whole collective.

Sunday's identity and abilities:

From what we can see in 2.1, it seems like the one currently holding the most sway over Penacony as their spokesperson is Sunday.

Could it be possible that he is a Family member who happens to assume the role of a Harmonic String (one of the embodiments/facet of Xipe)? OR could Robin be one of the Harmonic Strings? Was there a possibility that the Harmonic String was transferred between these siblings, as it is established that any Family member can assume the role.

At surface observation, both Sunday and Kafka possesses the ability to override someone's senses. However, unlike Kafka's spirit whisper, Sunday's abilities appear to be able to conform/assimilate an independent individual's thoughts, feelings and self autonomy into a collective.

If an alleged "Harmonic String" is compromised, does that jeopardise the rest of the Family by creating a backdoor access in their consciousness, given that they are so inextricably melded together under a single path (Harmony)? What does this mean for the Aeon Xipe? Could "Death" come for them too?

What is it like to raise birds? I really like birds and I would like to have as many as you but I have no idea if it is how I imagine it, even so, if I had some I would love them! I'm sorry if there are spelling mistakes.

Owning and raising birds is a real treat. They are easy to understand if you're committed to learning, and are a really fun and healthy source of entertainment. Most of my childhood was me being a bedridden hermit, and getting chickens was the first and most vital step in getting me outdoors and moving more. It's amazing how much flock animals can change your life for the better.

Chickens are funny, easy to keep happy, and if you handle them right, extremely loving in their own way that makes it exciting to go out each day and see how they're doing.

Raising them from chicks yourself is the best way to ensure they'll be friendly and loving when they're older. It can be sort of scary when you have your first chicks, it's easy to think they're more fragile than they are, or that you're upsetting them, but baby birds just like to whine. Some more than others, but either way you learn pretty quickly that being consistent and easy-going with your attention is what birds tend to like.

Working with a calm hand and persistence, you will be rewarded with a fun hobby that comes with many benefits. Chickens are best for eggs and compost, getting rid of food scraps and old (but never moldy!) food turns into fresh eggs to eat and poop for fertilizing the land. Geese are great for maintaining wild plant growth, keeping grass low cut and invasive weeds at bay, and also produce a lot of feather fluff if you have use for goose feathers. Their eggs are also massive, though not as good for frying as chicken eggs. Ducks are great at keeping garden pests at bay, and can be super amusing as they're surprisingly fast paced and emotive animals.

They are very messy, though. Maybe not as much with chickens-- as long as they have a dry space they keep themselves pretty clean as long as you change their bedding when they need it. Ducks and geese however, which are waterfowl, can be much much messier. Ducks especially. They need a lot of water to be happy, and get it everywhere. This in combination with their poop leads to quickly dirtied water and muddy enclosures if you don't keep up with the cleaning. Every day I get messy and wet for their sake. I don't mind it, but it can be harder to manage in colder and wetter months.

It can be a bit of a hump to get past the grosser parts of poultry care, but once you get past that, and you have a routine, I think it's still a relatively easy thing to maintain, and is worth it for all the pleasantries the birds bring in turn.

Chickens do well with less space than a lot of other poultry, their comfortable square foot per individual radius is rather small, given they have room to run and can all get along. It is simple and easy to raise chickens in a suburban backyard. I am not sure if it works similarly for other countries, but look up your town ordiances for poultry livestock allowances, if in the USA. More towns allow backyard hens than you'd expect, depending on the square footage of your property.

Geese and ducks need much more space, they are roamers and need large spaces to walk, stretch their wings, and explore to stay happy lest they grow bored and agitated. Unless you live in rural neighborhoods, it is unlikely you can own waterfowl. And roosters; Many suburban towns that allow hens do not allow roosters, because they are noisy.

Quails are also another choice, if chickens are too intimidating or difficult to procure in your area. Many quails can live quiety and happily in an enclosure even inside, so long as they have proper enrichment. They can be a good and cute stepping stone to bigger birds like chickens or ducks.

Turkeys and guinea fowl are interesting in their own way as well. I don't have as much experience with turkeys, they're larger and sassier but they generally work well with chickens. Plus they make funny noises and are amusing to look at. Guinea fowls, kind of like geese, are really good watch dogs if you live in a place with hawks, eagles, or small predators. They are very loud and vocal, and can be somewhat assertive and protective of their flock. They're also really stupid looking.

But anyways, back to what it's like to have birds in general... If you're birdbrained you will feel at home when you are amongst your flock. If you aren't birdbrained, enough time around them will make you so. It will be a peaceful experience and the work put into them is always rewarding. Being able to sit with chickens, letting them jump up to you and eat from your hand, or petting and hugging a duck, or having a gaggle of geese follow you through a field in a slow line... it's like having a fun and obtainable experience to look forward to every day. :3

Oh, I was going to end it there but I actually have one more thing to add. This part of poultry care is the part people don't always like to hear/realise, but the biggest thing with poultry is: Do not raise what you are not willing to kill. Regardless of whether you raise birds like chickens for meat, eggs, or just as pets, you must accept that fact that at some point, you may need to humanely cull one. Unwanted males do not sell/rehome easily, and can become an issue to take care of if you aren't ready to cull. Sick hens do not always make it, and sometimes you have to decide to spare them the pain and put them down. Vets can sometimes help with this, but most of the time that requires an exotics expert, and can cost you much more than it's worth. Being able to cull your birds is also useful life experience and teaches proper animal respect.

Just, keep that in mind if you ever look into owning birds. You need to be strong for their sake, you are the one they depend on the most.
