When the interviewer asked when we should expect s5 to be coming out, that’s when Shawn mentioned that a little bit of an answer to that might be out there soon.
He actually mentions that this answer could be out by the time the video for this interview comes out, and since this interview was filmed mid-May and it’s now mid-June, I’m assuming we could be getting something soon or within the next couple months, potentially about a release date aka possibly a small teaser with 2025 stamped at the end…
Hi! Your order from Dine 'n Dash is ready— we've sent our finest delivery driver on over with your food. See you soon!
Project JJ— now officially known as Door2Door (Thanks to everyone that voted!)— is something I have been meticulously working on for almost a full month now, and we're closer than ever to seeing its reveal here on my blog!
I am so incredibly passionate over what Door2Door has become in such a short time. Everything I have drawn and conceptualized for it is unlike anything you've ever seen on this blog before, so keep an eye out for its grand unveiling— you won't want to miss it!
image spoilers for furina's story quest cutscene (and lyney's, if you haven't done it yet)
Fontaine's story teaser artstyle is actually so gorgeous T_T it also bears great resemblance to woodcuts and I think that's very cool—seems like that's the irl inspiration that Fontaine's artstyle is based off of (like how Mondstadt pvs resemble stained glass, Inazuma's draw from ukiyo-e, etc).
out of the 3 fontaine pvs (lyney's sq, oceanid cutscene from 4.1, furina's sq) they're all really consistent with the art direction and god it looks like fairy tale illustrations
notice the use of lines (eg in the clouds, in the water) to represent shadows and convey texture
it's easier to see in environment shots (the above are from 4.1 waterborne poetry, and furina's story quest teaser, la vaguelette), but you can see it on characters too (the additional hatching on the characters' hair, hats, and clothes)
vs these woodcuts
it's also neat how all 3 story pvs we've seen have animated some element of water or flowing liquid—fitting for the hydro nation and also extremely pretty to watch. the style looks super nice and even possibly hand drawn
tumblr not letting me add 4 separate videos meant I had to stitch all of them together into one so here you go. a compilation of water in fontaine story teasers. the art is so gorgeous I'm in love
Movement out of the corner of your eye makes you look over. There stands another monkey. Chestnut colored fur shimmering in the sunlight that peeks through the window, Her fur much longer than Monkey King’s, styled in braids with a jeweled flower pin resting above her ear. The marking on her face could best be described as butterfly wings, an elegant forest green and making her amber eyes truly pop out.
“Uh…” you look at her, then Monkey King. “I’m not… interrupting anything, am I?”
“Of course not, little one.” The monkey in question stands, donned in silk robes that screamed elegance and royalty. She steps over to you both, looking you over with a curious eye. She says, “Lovely to meet you. Who might you be?”
“Aaaahaha, funny story about that…” Monkey King coughs and tugs at the collar of his tunic. “Remember when I said I had an assistant who’s—ah—helping me with training the kid? Well, uh…”
“This is them?” She finishes with a coy smile, her index finger resting by the corner of her mouth. “Why so embarrassed, my pebble? Do you think I’ll humiliate you in front of them?”
“Whaaaat? Of course not!” He sputters, waving a dismissive hand and crossing his arms. You notice his tail twitching and swaying with increased speeds, quickly wrapping around his ankle. “I just—well—wasn’t expecting… haha… you to meet so soon…”
He is acting… weird.
You’ve never seen him act like this in the short time you’ve known him. “Uh, I don’t mean any disrespect… ma’am?” You ask, looking at the stranger. She nods, so you continue, “I don’t mean disrespect, ma’am, but, uh… who are you?”
“Ah, so my son hasn’t told you about me, I see,” she raises a brow at Monkey King, who stiffens up and helplessly shrugs. Her sharp stare reminds you of thorns on a bush, but they turn to petals when she looks at you now. “I am Sun Lihua. I’m Wukong’s mother.”
I've not been active in ages, but I'm slowly trying to get back into writing! I've got a san fic in progress atm~ the progress, however, is quite slow :")
i'll never forgive mnh making chungha wanting to give up on being an idol to the point she just wanted to go study abroad and get away from the industry and i can't imagine how bad they made her feel to the point that it was something she considered
Your picture clutches to a loose frame in my hands,
I’ve failed you as a husband,
I’ve failed our child as a father,
I have failed as a protector,
And now I must live amongst the broken glass,
Amongst this shattered disk we knew.
This poem is related to a current project of mine, which is funny because this thing predates my web-series by like… 4 years?? It’s crazy how far I’ve made it. I hope you enjoy!
Did you know Eastern Bluebirds represent hope, joy, positivity, and renewal?
Seeing the feathers of an Eastern Bluebird means the solution to all of your problems is right in front of your eyes--and has been for some time--but you've ignored it.
Perhaps Doc's regrets aren't as cut and dry as he believes them to be.
Hey! So sorry for being so quiet lately I've just been busy and exhausted. But! Not to worry, I am working on some stuff; both "Tombsona" and "Devil May Cry" related.
I did manage to get my friend--who's going to the (The) Living Tombstone concert with me--into the whole Tombsona lore stuff. I ended up info-dumping on her for like 3 hours. I have fallen back into this hyper-fixation so damned hard that it's kinda freaky lmao
So for those of you who don't know me from my last TLT stint, get ready. I am about to rant and babble about this so hard. Especially about Doc lmao
