#OH THE CREST

[dailydegurechaff]

ive been thinking about one of my fics/aus lately, so naturally i started drawing and writing about them again.

presented with bare minimum context: two members of the von Lergen family + something extra

Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)

I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.

Edit: Hey you don't need to keep copying out the tags, I wrote all the Minty Hellfire lyrics here. And then someone recorded them here.

Also, I think it might technically be a sensitivity rather than an allergy, but whatever it is, toothpaste is not supposed to hurt! If it's burning then that's bad and you should try to find a new one if possible!

Fitz pumpkin!! Happy Halloween friends :)

You never really realize how long a song is until you play it for someone else (does not like this)

it's easy to forget now that literal dozens of youtubers have made careers out of dissecting every conceivable aspect of Elden Ring's lore, but one of the funniest moments in any Fromsoft game ever was going into ER completely blind at launch and being told that you can meet with "the Two Fingers" after some point in the story, and you think okay, so obviously they're referring to two human people who have a role in the religion of this world referred to as "fingers" because there's five of them total i guess? oh Miyazaki and GRRM, you two are so kooky sometimes. and then the door finally opens and you walk in there and are confronted by two giant literal fingers with knuckle hair and all

Flight Rising Protobeast but there are so many of them!! and baby ones also!!!

[arabella-strange]

because literally why not

[hellofeanor]

Okay but can we take a min to appreciate Sauron's RING OF BARAHIR-THEME ARMOUR, that he took special care in wearing for his big date fight with Galadriel?

[literallyjusttoa]

Three Lesters and a Crest. The third one is based on a conversation I had with a fellow short king Lester truther, and we made the fun lil hc that Percy's shirt was actually big on Lester, but since he's so used to loose drapery as clothing he's like "ah yes, this fits perfectly :D"

I was thinking about how i'd joked before about blond anime dragkings in the 90s having been a death sentence. But honestly there's only so many of those, and seemingly fewer and fewer in modern series... Where as the archetype that came about at the same time that really did get me down bad for the next decade+ was the tan skin, red (often messy) hair, big girl/muscle girl/sword girl/athlete. (with optional tomboy or feral personality)

(I'll admit a few of these I remembered differently in my head --either I remembered their skin being darker or hair being redder-- than what turned up once I started googling, but a few are definitely a conflict of in-game sprites vs official art, or having a more noticeably darker skin tone compared to the other characters in their respective show/game, but more light skinned looking on their own)

Hiiii! I don’t know if your art reqs are open, but can you draw some non binary birds? Thanks and have a great day!!!!

Neither you or @iamchaos1234 specified exactly what kind of bird or parrot you wanted, so allow me a moment to indulge in some Australian bird propaganda. I hope you enjoy your critters!

can u recommend some bands? i think i like ur music taste and i am terrible at finding music

ty :)

of COURSE I can <3 you’ve probably heard of some of these, but maybe there’ll be some you haven’t! I don’t know what you already like, so… here we go :)

Hozier. Yeah this was always going to be first on the list I’m currently listening to basically nothing else! He’s an Irish folk/soul/blues/etc idk musician who uses a lot of religious and mythological themes in his lyrics and has a lot of songs that include social justice commentary.

The Amazing Devil is a folk rock band with an incredibly unique sound. Their songs are incredibly emotional and have an awesome fantasy vibe going on—plus there’s two singers, and they often sing independently from each other, which is something you don’t see often!

Good Morning Bedlam is a bluegrass band that I’ve gotten into recently! They’re sort of like… a mix of the amazing devil and the crane wives?

The Crane Wives, while we’re at it, and

The Oh Hellos. they’re fairly similar and I don’t have a ton to say about their stylistic differences, but they’re all definitely worth checking out!

Florence & The Machine. Most people have heard of them but I always like to recommend them anyway

Alec Benjamin, if you’re into softer indie music! He has a lot of different styles of lyrics, but his voice is consistent, so he’s great to listen to if you’re looking for that sort of variety.

Chxrlotte doesn’t have a lot of music out, but I’m a big fan of the music she has released, including the ones about Good Omens! The others are more angsty which I love too.

The Family Crest is an orchestral indie pop rock band, which blows my mind. I can’t believe orchestra isn’t a more utilized tool in popular lyrical music, because they do it so well.

Good Kid is actually my brother’s favorite band, and I love them too. They’re also indie rock, but they have a very distinctive style and are easy to get into! Plus they haven’t released a shit ton of songs like some other artists, so it isn’t overwhelming to explore their discography.

Jonatha Brooke is an artist I only know about because my mom liked her music a lot in the 90s, but she’s got a super nice voice and has some awesomely relatable lyrics. I especially recommend her album Ten Cent Wings!

Midlake is a super melodic folk rock band. I’m obsessed with their album The Courage of Others, which has a melancholy vibe that’s super easy to get lost in.

Palaye Royale is harder rock than anyone else on the list so far, but they’ve got an awesome style. Unique voice and definitely darker themes in their lyrics.

Tears for Fears is a pop rock band that I love because my dad does. (My parents are musicians—I trust their music taste).

Toad the Wet Sprocket got their name from Monty Python, but PLEASE go listen to the Architect of the Ruin EP. You will not regret it. Also the song Something’s Always Wrong is like… entrenched in my very being.

Elbow is a band that I never see in fandom circles, but they’re definitely not obscure. Check out their album Little Fictions! They’re kind of like Midlake.

Will Wood ranges from chaotic and fun (The Normal Album) to absolutely soul-crushing (in case I make it)! Sometimes even both at the same time!

(I would’ve also put Paramore, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and other rock/pop punk bands I like on there, but I assumed you already know them.) (If you were looking for harder rock or metal, let me know, because this list is not that.)

If you want more genre-specific recs or even album/song recs, don’t hesitate to ask!! Music is the fuel of my soul.

Something about that badge…

Who wants to see more Rhage?

JP!Rhea actually makes more sense than Rhage in this scene :

It's not Billy existence that pisses her, it's their choice to "assist" the one who defiled the Holy Tomb and disgraced the fallen Nabatean - someone who assists a person who only sees Nabateans as tools to be weaponised cannot be allowed to "exercise" the power of Sothis, which is why, Rhea will end them to remove "THE" heart - not Billy's, but Sothis' - aka the way through which Billy "exercises" the power of the Progenitor God.

Rhage?

Says that Billy's presence, not their choice, but their existence, defiles the tomb and disgraces the Nabateans - no mention of Supreme Leader here, Rhage rages at u :'(

And the biggest change "take back the heart" to "take back your heart" - no "at the very last" mention, nope. Rhage immediately passes judgment and wants to steal Billy's heart - it's still puzzling for someone who didn't play SS or VW, but imo it feels like it's more meant as a death threat, whereas Rhea is more less thinking out loud how to remove Sothis' power from Billy and how to "make up" for that blunder she did (aka, allowing someone who would make such choices to wield Sothis' powers) "at the very least", removing the crest stone should work, right?

(it always involves Billy's death, but fwiw, Rhea doesn't seem as concerned as Rhage about Billy's death, she wants to recover Sothis' powers more than kill Billy)

"Pat, why Supreme Leader hates them? Is it because they're not humans?"

"N-No, it's because they're monsters! Totally in the biological sense, but also, and trust me on this, through their actions!"

"So it's not because their ears are pointy?"

"Nope!"

I am absolutely in love with Clark’s outfit in Action Comics #370

The story itself is… weird. But! It does have a bunch of other outfits that I found neat:

It's a canonical pre-crisis story that's a flashback to Kal's spaceship as a kid getting derailed and landing on a (red sun) planet. There he grows up as "Sonn" and through his presence, the world's technology evolves from the stone age, through the modern age, and into futuristic capabilities. He lives a full life, has a wife and son, and is president of the peaceful world. After wars break out and he is exiled, his son turns back time and sets the baby Kal back in his rocket on track to Earth.

I really like all the outfits in his marriage ceremony—especially the officiant's headdress and the bride's whole shtick.

His son's "eyepatch" is a misprint I believe but I am choosing to ignore that

Story's original art by Curt Swain & Jack Abel, with this fun cover by Neal Adams.

I'm rewatching S1 over and over again, and, like. That one shot in Ep6.

CAITLYN. YOUR FAMILY CREST IS LITERALLY ENGRAVED ON THE BULLETS. NO WONDER Y'ALL WERE VALUABLE TARGETS.

I remember thinking, Why the fuck was Silco so quick to act? when I'd first watched this scene—because if it's just Vi and (who everyone thought was) some random enforcer, then shouldn't Silco not have had gone through so much trouble chasing them down? Vi's just one person. One. She was already beaten enough from the fight with Sevika. She almost died, if it hadn't been for Caitlyn.

But that's the thing. It's Caitlyn. It's a Kiramman. With training likely more refined than any other officer on the list. Huck probably saw the engraved symbol on the bullets and thought, Oh, shit. That's the symbol on the old vent covers. That's big money right there. That's someone from an established family. That information's worth at least one to three extra half-pints of shimmer to last for the week, maybe even a vial. The girl's obviously rich, but she's also valuable.

The Undercity is dark and is structured vertically. Even with shimmer-enhanced senses and such, it should at least take some time to find Vi and Caitlyn in this maze. It's harder than looking for something or someone in Piltover—where resources are easier to acquire and sunlight is a natural aid.

My quarrel with this scene isn't even Huck's betrayal of Caitlyn's trust—it's Caitlyn's carelessness. Miss Girl ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ you could've at least picked your bullets up.
