#Prince of Nothing

[goddess731]

So I got another interest...

And as custom, it's an addition to my already VERY expansive au crossover mess that I have. Like bro, LET ME LIVE!!!

Anyway, now Jak's an experiment like Lion-O was. And since you can't see it because of Daxter, he also has a mark in his ear where his tag used to be. Calypso tried to use his dark form to speed up the 'feral' process like he did to Lion-O, but because of his higher control over it, he was able to break out of it once he was sent out on his field test. He's still under the care of Raven and Tanya, but only because Lion-O became really attached to them in the first place.

Today's polish is one I couldn't stop photographing! Most of the time this polish was a very pretty magenta/purple, but then sometimes the light would hit it right and it would turn into a rainbow on my nails! 😍 I love Bees Knees multichrome formula and this one definitely wasn't an exception. The last picture has a matte topcoat cause multichromes are always gorgeous matte. This is Prince of Nothing from Bee's Knees Lacquer.

The books I have read in 2022!

In the last couple years I've found a couple great new hobbies. First, gunpla, and second, actually reading books. That started with a random recommendation of The Book Of The New Sun from a friend of mine, he never even read it he just heard another friend recommend it, and that sent me on a path. 1. The Book Of The New Sun tetralogy + Urth Of The New Sun by Gene Wolfe My main obsession of last year. At this point, it might be my absolute favourite work of fantasy and sci-fi out there. Mystifying, complex, beautiful, and with one of the most captivating settings I've ever seen. A world I wish I could know everything about, but that antithetical to the entire thing. And characters that haven't left my mind in 12 months. 2. A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms by George R.R Martin ASOIAF means the world to me. It pretty much kept me going through a very rough year in my life back in high school but I never did read these until last year. It's such a nice read, following a lovable and good knight on his misadventures through Westeros, through tournaments and conspiracies and sword fights. An amazingly comfortable read. 3. Dune to God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert The definitive worm odyssey. Each book really brings something different, my favourite had to be Messiah. The whole story has this undercurrent of dread, that there is something on the horizon that is beyond terrifying, that the future is inescapable. Paul is such a husk of a man, blinded and guiding the events of the story on to a dread path he can not look away from no matter how hard he tries.

4. The Dying Earth by Jack Vance The definitive dying earth story (shocking!), and a real unique thing. Deep future sci-fi dressed up like fairy tale stories almost. Wizards using technologies so old, powerful, and esoteric that it is all magics and mysteries, warrior princesses and ghoulish critters in the woods that ask riddles. Really something special, and I plan on reading more of it. 5. Moby Dick by Herman Melville Yeah this shit is the great American novel. I think it'll be a long, long time until I read anything that so joyously and quickly flies back and forth between humor and the metaphysical, yet they're one in the same here. Every bit of humor and banter among the crew has something so interesting to express, every monologue about philosophy and being is exuberant and full of playfulness. A work of art that genuinely fills me with awe.

6. Neuromancer by William Gibson Mr. Gibson wrote the first page of this book and it created, and subsequently held the cyberpunk genre captive for 40 years. Sure, everything here you have seen already, but a good story doesn't care if you've seen things like it. One of the best page turners I've read, moving at the perfect pace to keep me satisfied but always wanting to unravel more of the conspiracy. Armitage is just like me. 7. Soldier of The Mist by Gene Wolfe The story of the nicest man in all of Greece. An amnesiac mercenary in the Greco Persian war goes place to place making friends. A very pleasant story, and a very positive one. Expressing a belief in the goodness in everyone at their core, even bad men. 8. The Darkness That Comes Before by R. Scott Bakker As I discussed in a previous post, a work that feels juvenile in it's misery, that thinks sad and shitty makes for a smart story. But to be more positive this time, it has an engrossing plot. Setting up mystery upon mystery, interwoven conspiracies and gaps in knowledge that leave you wanting more. Having started it's sequel, I can say this element gets even better, but the character writing. Well. Not so much. In conclusion, a good year! I hope to get in to even more genre fiction this year.

Sketched/remade Prince of Nothing (my Thundercats au) after not doing so for a while...

Basically, three years before entering Atmos, and shortly after escaping prison, Starline meets Lion-O and convinces him to separate from his group after he had an argument with Tygra, and basically kidnaps him.

He experiments on him for about four years, drugging him with a feral-ness(?) inducing chemical that makes him regress into a primal state, as well as injecting Earth lion DNA into him, causing him to have a more wild physique.

After Starline sets him free for a 'field test,' he finds Aerrow and attacks him, having been starved. But he's tranquilized before anything else could happen.

Being put under Tanya and Raven's care, they and the kids help him recover from his torment, reteaching him how to walk and talk properly.

Dropping a very special Sketch-a-wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for August! The winning request was to illustrate an off-page scene from The Folk of the Air series, when Cardan was writing his letters to Jude. I countered that Cardan went through the five stages of grief writing those letters, and each deserved it's own illustration. (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance) You'll also notice some familiar outfits throughout! Have a great weekend. :)

I love how jude starts the series by saying Cardan is the most cruel of them all, just to be reveled later on that he's in fact the least cruel faerie that has ever faeried

[variousfandomthoughts]

Jude: And thus, by slowly taking larger and larger amounts of these small doses, our bodies will become used to the poisons, eventually making us immune to even lethal amounts.

Cardan: I thought we were just doing drugs together.
