Late aro week posting, day 4 :]

Very dangerous for Salem to be talking shit near two guys with things to shatter their shins

They're all some undefined flavour of arospec, and I really wanted to work with the arospec flag colors, they're so pretty :]

Aight did I spend an unhealthy amount of time reading and re reading the fic scouring for details on what both their vigilante outfits looked like….maybe. I also asked the author…..I’m lost ok!!!! I know they both have hoods, armor, and full face masks, and Artemis has his hair somewhat free out of the hood (I think again half of this is guess work y’all) regardless I have like soooo many concept sketches but these two are my favorite right now, cause they have the dynamic poses down and the armor pattern mostly right. So Techno and Ranboo y’all. Techno and Ranboo. @scorpionoesit

Edit: I’m aware Techno has a skull mask and a cape……leave me alone. I was tired when I posted this and I have like twelve designs for Techno alone I just really like his pose in this one ok

Lament for those lost to Ocean

A mourning song from a fictional world maybe has some usefulness in the modern world for reminding us of Ocean's dangers... and rarer mercy.

I wrote this sometime between 2002 and 2007. It’s part of the Orien Cycle, a collection of epic and lyric poems from the world that I was writing in at the time. Today I release this poem for the health and safety of the migrants from the ship that sank in the Mediterranean. The ocean is both ally and foe, Ever dark and dangerous and deep: Men go out — and some never return. The tides will rise…

But ye the gends and other labels for the lads.

I now realize i forgot the pronouns. Most use he/him, Salem also uses they/them, Orien uses it/its sometimes.

This isn't "my favourite yaoi ship dynamic" but it does end up being the ship dynamic of some yaoi ships I love

On their second day of walking, Orion, D-16, B-127, and Elita talk about names. (3-chapter fic)

Take it. We heal as one.

Opening commissions, because I’m a broke college student who’s going on a school trip, and needs enough money to cover the trip and rent.

STS time! tell me about a sedentary lifeform in your world! (plants, fungi, etc)

One of the most prominent plants in Anemoi culturally is the Popflower. It is used not only in bouquets, but also as dyes and ink that reacts to magic use. It is also used in medicine for those who suffer from specific and rare ailments that have to do with their magic turning on their body similar to an autoimmune disorder. The roots are used as a pungent food and the petals are also used for seasoning.

These pods can only grow in areas of high concentrations of magic. The only place they've been found growing is the mountains of Anemoi where a God was felled and fertilized the silty soil with his blood. It is hard to notice unless you lay within them, but popflowers radiate a bit of heat. This is enough to warm the mountains throughout the winter when north Anemoi hovers around 5c-0c

The popflower does not have an elaborate root system. It has a main tap root that is poor at sucking up water, but specialized towards sapping magic from the earth and just keeping it in place durring storms. Due to heavy and consistent Anemoian rains, they end up sapping most of their water needs through their petals and the rest through smaller roots by the surface.

Popflowers are the backbone to the survival of two other species, including the pop drake and the inland wyvern.

Popdrakes are small and hyper specialized to only eat popflowers. they came about at the same time as popflowers emerging from the mountains. They live among them, using their spines to blend in among the flowers. They give birth to live young who are independent from their mothers from their first moments.

They are often caught en-masse by humans to sell during festivals, skewered and either candied or roasted. they are extremely spicy due to a concentration of the same compounds that give popflowers their distinct flavour and moderate spice.

This spice does not deter the Inland wyvern however. These wyverns are actually a type of fish and are related to every other wyvern. Wyvern have the same skin/scale and lung systems as I Peshka, where as they can breathe air and water through a gill system in their throat. They mainly eat these popdrakes. They will stand still for hours, waiting for a popdrake to move. When one does, they will bend down to gobble it up in one quick movement. Their crests and throats glow due to the magic of the flowers being passed down the food chain reacting with what was once regular luminescence.
