what kind of frivolity would you engage in, mecha?
<
---
#mecha sonic#scrapnik mecha sonic#scrapnik island#sonic fanart#sonic fandom#arting#msab#good MORNING. i have given myself many emotions about mecha's big stupid cape. like a fool. such is the way i suppose#god ive been dying to get to this one. do you get it. do you understand#victories; if not on your own terms. achievements; if not the ones you thought you wanted. childhood dreams that never die.#which on that note yeah this is also my favorite one for showing eggman-era mecha as like#''yeah hes hes the most arrogant and murderous jackass on the planet but hes also like 17.''#& therefore kind of a lame little nerd by default. he thinks capes are sooooooo coool#we were all stupid kids once but sometimes u get older and u still wanna paint your house purple. and sometimes u still want a cool cape#it occurs to me that actual 17-year-olds may see this and to that i say: sorry. you guys are fine do ya thang.#its just that im 29 and have grey hair and shit so i have a certain Perspective on being 17 is all. & scrapnik mecha is like mid-30's to me#i knoooowwww he loves his big stupid cape so much. look at the refsheets with his dumbass spines poking holes through the the hood#tell me he has not made a COMMITMENT to wearing that hood despite being built in a way that makes that incredibly inconvenient#u look at nathalie fourdraine's christmas scrapniks post and tell me he isnt having so much fun#being all decorated and swishing around in that Even Bigger And Stupider Cape & shawl w/ his friends#hes so funny for that he's generally such a serious kinda character but on god he does also love some showmanship and flashiness.#i want to make it clear btw i also think capes are awesome i literally cosplay a guy with Two [2] capes.#& mecha is basically the coolest ever. but also hes still funny for that

Demon at the Temple
#dol#degrees of lewdity#artists on tumblr#dol comics#dol fanart#dol sydney#sydney the fallen#dol pc#mallory the rapier#eyyyy it’s sudden shift in genre time#basically in mallory’s story sydney had met him once before in a dream#in the dream he was in his demonic harpy transformation and he was holding The Spear#and burning a building I guess#I know I know romantic am I right#so when sydney met mallory for the first time (as human) sydney had been scared#but then they became friends#and then as they became lovers and sydney became corrupt#mallory went to the island to get the spear#and came back turned into a demon#but ya know sydney isn’t scared this time because he knew mallory now#the dream was still a psychological horror though#(all of this plotting is only because it took me a long time to get sydney to love my pc in-game LMAO)

I’m actually happy with how this came out!!!!#if you squint the sash and jinbu is a reference to sailor HEHE.. I tried to make it stand out without contrasting too much so you can tell#-that it’s not part of Xins aesthetic more like a piece of him they carry around with them <3 they make me ILL#I should also mention they can’t nock arrows for shit. they just use em to stab and cut things apart hence the lack of a bow#it was left by one of the scholars before the island was abandoned so they were like ooh stabby stabby#I just realized I put braces on both their arms and legs but I’m too tired to do anything abt it. I’ll just symmetry win this time#still need to make a quick ref for their pelt pattern and coat. I’ll slap em on artfight when activity dies down shjdgbd#my art#myart#my oc#oc#lmk oc#Monkie kid oc#Lego Monkie kid#lmk#Monkie kid#fan character#Xin Ya#furry#I guess???#reference#reference sheet#artfight#artfight 2023

Just read Kick It Up a Notch and while the event's story was good why did it do the thing that a good chunk of VBS stories do (especially the more recent ones since Walk On and On) of just dragging the fuck on certain points 😭
Project Sekai's pacing is overall pretty great considering how story heavy and extensive it is! With Leo/Need and Nightcord being perfectly paced and WxS and MMJ having minor yet negligible hiccups but then Vivid Bad Squad's is just all over the place?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying their story is bad (trust me they do have banger,good paced stories and I'm excited for the heartbreaking plot twist coming up in June) but some of them just drag on for far too long
For example, Toya getting inspiration from the hospital guy is interesting but it loses it's appeal when it feels like 75% is focused on him and not Toya making music (and later getting to appreciate his bond with Akito) which was supposed to be the plot of the event??
And also the aforementioned recent Kohane event with the middle just feeling like meandering to have the ending randomly feel like her version of Vivid Old Tale minus the nostalgic undertone turned sad by more recent info and the much better pacing that event had
I have more examples of this but I don't want make this rant(?) much longer but TLDR vbs please stop making parts of your events go on for far too long 😭
#project sekai#pjsk#prsk#vivid bad squad#vbs#and also the constant talking thoughts they love to add while they're singing please stop ✋️#the other groups do this too but not to the extent and length vbs does#this is making me look like a vbs story hater but trust me im not!! they also have some absolute gold#its just these dragged out stories feel like a sore thumb ya know?#btw when i meant by mmj and wxs having negligable hiccups...#i was referring to the early stories (main events before tea time/haruka 1 basically) for mmj#and for wxs its island panic and curtain call#btw these stories are nowhere near as dragged as some vbs but still fell like there was some pandering ya know?#curtain call and island panic had great emotional beats but also had some chapters that felt like they could be taken out#like curtain call just feels regular for the first half until asahi does the arc land offer#and island panic had a unique concept and interesting developments for nene but did we really need two chapters about beefing with monkeys?#and the mmj early events feel unnecessarily longer because of the predictable formula they have of#something happens and girl feels bad -> girl goes to sekai and gets reassured by the vocaloids -> girl feels good and confident#for both of these groups is negligible in ths greater scope of things and the grand majority of their other stories are amazing#ok end of rambling tags#kohane azusawa#an shiraishi#toya aoyagi#akito shinonome

I'm finally reading the Swedish young adult book series Öppet hav (Faraway Island) by Annika Thor.
I never read it growing up even though it was very popular and much talked about. (Perhaps that was why.)
Turns out in the later books, our protagonist Steffie has both a lesbian school teacher with a "friend", and a lesbian bestie who's in love with her, of course...
#i wouldn't have noticed it anyway when i was a kid though#the lesbian characters are still pretty positively written though#annika thor#swedish books#lesbian bestie#öppet hav#faraway island#ya books#Steffie och nellie series#queer books#(marginally)

Book Notes: Where the Dark Stands Still
The adult and young adult fantasy genre has seen so many iterations of fairytale retellings. And many of us are happy to discover our favorite fairytales in inventive new frameworks and settings again and again. I finally noticed the ones I always gravitate towards have a strong Beauty and the Beast theme. From Robin McKinley’s two Beauty and the Beast retellings (Beauty and Rose Daughter, both excellent) to Uprooted by Naomi Novik, to A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer, there’s something about a girl and a sentient house and a curse just begging to be broken that I find immensely satisfying.
Enter the newest addition to my list, A. B. Poranek’s debut YA Fantasy, Where the Dark Stands Still. When Liska enters the Driada, a forest rumored to be infested with demons, it’s in search of the fabled fern flower. For Liska, the wish the flower grants is her only hope to rid herself of the magic she’s had all her life, magic considered demonic by her pious village. If she wants any chance to live a normal life, the magic must go. So Liska braves the tricksy forest and its dangerous inhabitants. But in discovering the fern flower, she also encounters its forbidding guardian, the powerful Leszy. His bargain for the flower is one year of service to him in his House Under the Rowan Tree, shrouded in decades of neglect. Liska reasons she can endure a year of servitude to be free of her magic, and makes the bargain. Of course, there’s more to the house, the Leszy, and the forest than Liska can know. A year of forced proximity brings to light many secrets, not the least of which is the true origins of the Driada itself.
As Where the Dark Stands Still draws significantly from Polish folklore, I found myself quickly out of my depth, both in pronunciation and in familiarity. I’d heard of rusalka and hearth spirits from other Slavic inspired fantasies, but the Leszy, the strzygon and many others were unknown to me. It was enjoyable to have a new-to-me framework paired with elements of Beauty and the Beast. And beyond that, Poranek’s writing was filled with delightful moments of wry humor and wisdom, not to mention a simmering romantic thread. It was a pleasure to watch Liska comes into deeper knowledge of herself and her inner strength. For those of you looking for a reading experience with no cliff hangers or loose ends, Where the Dark Stands Still is that rare thing in YA Fantasy these days: a standalone novel. It is the perfect read for fantasy lovers to curl up with during these rainy evenings!

My luck in my current save in Stardew Valley is that I'm unlucky in that I Still haven't gotten the 1st and 5th dwarf scrolls (and yet I have 3 copies of the 2nd and 2 of the 3rd, where 1 each is already at the museum). BUT! I'm somehow lucky enough in that I was able to get a prismatic shard from an enemy drop in the mines, for some reason...
#aria rants#this save is a wreck. im both simultaneously making more progress from when i first played and making less#progress than that cuz i still cant talk to the dwarf but somehow i alrdy have a galaxy sword-- smth that i didnt get to have#in my first save until i had to battle it out with lady luck for that 25% chance drop from the mystic stone but couldnt get still#i practically had to duke it out with the monsters in ginger island with an obsidian sword and a dream that id#get ANYTHING good during then. and yet the first prismatic shard i got was from iridium nodes in that island#cuz lady luck had no mercy on my struggling farmer ass being alrdy new to the game to grace me a shard from 25% chances#and after struggling with my baby obsidian sword getting the first prismatic shard. i immediately got my 2nd one when#i went to the mines and found mystic stones like are ya fr??? ya couldnt have given that to me FIRST??? gave that one to gunther
