month of ingo, day 1: train
gear station
funny story: while trying to figure out certain elements (mostly the style of the pillars + the window panels), i searched up references of grand central and (old) penn station as the listed design bases for gear station, and oh gods it's beautiful look at the arches the vaults the light shining through the huge windows the scale -
needless to say, i got verrrry sidetracked. the architecture brainrot is real. (i almost want to write up a design analysis of gear station and the inspiration it takes from the aforementioned two IRL stations, but i'm still a novice and so any analysis would probably be very surface-level stuff.)
timelapse (feat. a very rough sketch from memory i did while recovering from my own presentation at school)
#pokemon#submas#my art#pokemon black and white#month of ingo#sept ingo#i did redesign the station slightly but didn't dare deviate too much in case it became unrecognisable#one day...one day i will redesign this station a bit more#seriously the interior is circular wdym it doesn't have a dome smh#anyway this will probably be the only#or one of very few#pieces i make for ingo month#college is busy and architecture school even more so

I just realized that the end of the game takes you physically back to the start but now you can see the full mural and Zelda's place in it
#please feel free to ignore this#I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom#It's gamebro#Something about how much this game emphasizes the like circularity of time and the fight against Ganondorf/evil is so#It's different this time but it's always the same you'll always be back here with the Master Sword#Thinking again of that art piece that was like 'he who wields the sword that seals the darkness but can never defeat it'#AREN'T YOU TIRED? DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO GO APESHIT?#Actually I take it back removing the sages is so thematically perfect in such an upsetting away I'm going to go dry-heave into my toilet

i have 10 keychain rings and im combusting internally to make 8 of them into the hylics characters chibified like in the arcade game but i cant for the fucking LIFE of me find any store seeling the actual chains in low quantities instead of like 50 pieces or without costing $1.50 for 15 chains and $10 for shipping
#ill probably do like a slugcat and something else for the other two#i need the pin that'll hold the chains too. i dont think i even want chains bc id need a plier to properly use them#but strings just dont last as long. and the circular pins too only come in 50 pieces or slightly less#being a creative is fucking hell i should have stuck with digital art bc everything else physical is just torture i swear#dextxt

not to burst ur bubble but check the notes on the ai protest post-- the tweets abt the models being affected were faked
ah, beetles. guess it happens to the best of us.
i went ahead and did a quick browse on the post itself, looks like the notes all confirm it. but also, i do want to repeat a sentiment i saw in the replies in regards to this matter, because i do vibe with it;
if these genart caps are fake (which they probably are), that's like...a weird ass flex to make, ain't it? like that's a bit silly no matter what side you're doing this on. either aigen bros are just loud and proud pretending to admit 'yep, this model totally scrapes images that aren't under creative commons in real time and we're actively mining artists creative talent, lol' or it's non-ai folks trying to drum up a fake result to...fool aigen people and make them stop? that seems like it won't work.
#i have complex feelings about ai generated art#usually those feelings boil down to#'STOP USING ART YOU DON'T HAVE CONSENT OR LICENCE TO USE'#stuff from cc or free use art is... probably fine because of the nature of the license of the piece.#and if you train an ai using your own art? fuck yeah use it as much as you want i do not give a single fuck#i think these programs can be used for good. as inspiration for a composition or to get placeholder images you know?#like the argument of what is and is not art is circular and bad and you're not gonna get anywhere trying to govern creative expression#but this feels very#*artist draws something* 'I made this'#'You made this?'#*dumps piece into an aigen and makes a replica* 'I made this'#and that doesn't feel very cash money

It's 2024. I have been participating in fandom for 40 years. This is a ramble commemorating some history I've experienced along the way.
In 1984, I attended my first convention, and made a beeline for the one long row of covered tables in the Dealer's Room that was, according to the whispered lore of my friends, 'the one'. "um", I said, very suavely and coherently, except for how it was totally the opposite of those things, "I'm here for the... for the, uh. For-"
"Come around here," the man behind the table said with exhausted ennui, so I went around, and he lifted up the table skirt next to him and pointed to rows and rows of boxes underneath the line of tables. "It's all under here."
It was all under there. Along with about five older ladies with glasses, graying hair, cardigans. Flipping through slash zines and chatting in whispered voices like old friends (which of course they were). I noticed one of them had the good sense to be wearing kneepads. I was still too young and ablebodied to need kneepads when crawling on a carpeted floor, but I immediately found her preparedness skills to be both impressive and hot. "You're new," one of the ladies whispered to me--a bit warily, which made sense. "Are you sure you're in the right place?"
In the faint light (the kneepads lady had also come prepared with a flashlight, additional practicality hotness points for her) I grabbed a comb-bound book with a heavy line art piece on the cover, featuring a musclebound Captain Kirk getting righteously and enthusiastically plowed by a stern-yet-ebullient Spock. "This," I said, pointing helpfully at the cover, like I was trying to make myself understood in a language I had only the vaguest knowledge of. "I'm here for this."
Outside at the convention, most of the attendees were wearing large homemade circular pins that shrieked 'K/S is BS!!!'1. But underneath the table, we reveled in the forbidden.
***
In 1985, I fell very hard for Starsky & Hutch fandom. Which was simply referred to at the time as 'the other fandom', because there were only two. We were upstarts. Many fannish elders predicted that it was just a phase.
***
The 'circulating library' was a massive stack of barely-legible pages that smelled strongly of mimeograph ink. When you were on the list, you would write stories while you waited for your turn, and when the big box was mailed to you, you would read everything (new finds, old favorites), add your own sloppily-typed or hastily-mimeographed stories, and then mail the whole thing to the next person. For me, at the time, it was an extremely expensive indulgence--but my favorite one.
***
By 1990, slash fandom had grown enough that I no longer knew everyone in it, which was both thrilling and a bit daunting. A young woman at a convention waited for me after a panel I was part of (I think it was 'writing impactful smut' or something like that), and said she had a question she didn't want to ask in a group setting. I'd heard that before. I said that's fine, go ahead and ask; and she came out with: "Why do you have to be gay?"
I blinked. "Is... that a problem?"
She looked annoyed. "Yes, because your stories are on all the recommendation lists and in all the top zines, but if you're gay and I read something you wrote and I get hot from it that makes me gay, and I'm not gay."
"Wow." I grinned, I couldn't help it. It probably made me look very predatory-dyke-about-to-score-a-toaster. Whatever, it was enough to make her back away from me fast.
When I thought about it later that night, I wondered what it would be like not to be the only queer person in slash fandom.
***
By 1997, slash started appearing on the internet. Many fannish elders claimed it was the death knell of slash fandom, or dismissed it as 'just a phase'.
***
Anyway, I wrote all this for myself as a commemoration of sorts, but if you took the time to read it--thank you. Love you, fandom. I always will.
1 In those days, m/m fandom was known as 'slash', which grew from the fannish shorthand where 'K&S' meant a story of Kirk and Spock having adventures or tribulations or what have you, and 'K/S' meant a story of Kirk and Spock getting it on (Kirk divided by Spock or Spock into Kirk--it was mathy fannish humor and I was into it then and I still am now). Slash was decidedly unpopular in the fannish world in 1984, and there was a concerted effort to force slash authors, artists, and fans out of 'mainstream' fannish public life. Hence, under the table.

Creator Spotlight: @themetalhiro
Hi, Iâm Metal! Iâm a freelance artist from good olâ New Jersey. My favorite things to work with are a lot of bright colors, exaggerated poses, and candid scenarios. I try to farm sensible chuckles whenever I can, so Iâm also big into comics. I love making them about my life, and the media Iâm into, and one day Iâd like to publish my own series! Thank you to everyone who has gotten me this far!!
Check out Metal's interview below!
Did you originally have a background in art? If not, how did you start?
I guess so! Itâs funny, I donât remember a single time in my life that I wasnât drawing as a hobby⊠somewhere in middle school (a little late, I know.) I put the pieces together that animated movies were made by artists, and that it wasnât just for fun, they were paid to do it. The moment I discovered people could be paid to make art, I decided I would do that, too. Now Iâm here!
How has your style developed over the years?
I think the best way to answer this would be with an example! Over the last few years, I have made more of an effort to draw more intentionally, which sounds silly. Now, I put more thought into my poses and step out of my comfort zone with shape language and composition. I had a phase where I drew everyone with a huge, perfectly circular head and no nose. That definitely did not lend much variety...
Which 3 famous artists (dead or alive) would you invite to your dinner party?
Ack! Iâm so terrible at history! Iâd love to give a well-thought-out answer about fine artists of old, but I don't think weâd have much in common⊠Most artists I admire and who have driven me forward creatively are the people behind comics Iâve read. Andrew Hussie, Bryan Lee OâMalley, Eiichiro Oda... these guys have inspired me greatly and had a heavy influence in developing my art style and sense of humor. Iâd love to ask them questions about their processes and upcoming projects. I think it would make for an entertaining night!
Over the years as an artist, what were your biggest inspirations behind your creativity?
Outside of pure aesthetics like searing bright colors, layered clothing, and loud noisesâŠ. the best and most inspiring moments in my life were those surrounded by friends and loved ones! I cherish the hell out of memories of hanging around in fun locations, trying weird food together, and impromptu midnight walks... so I try my best to capture that atmosphere and my own memories in my work when I can, even if Iâm imposing fictional characters on top of them. Thatâs always the core of it.
What is a medium that you have always been intrigued by but would never use yourself?
I would never permanently refuse a medium, but every time I pick up clay, Iâm like a baby using its hands for the first time. Absolutely dreadful. If one day I could make and paint a figurine like the ones I admire in videos, that would be awesome... But for now, Iâm not counting on it.
How do you want to evolve as a creator?
Iâve had an absolute blast drawing fanart over the years, and itâs certainly played a massive role in my growth as an artist. But my dream has always been to publish my own stories for y'all to enjoy! I have lots of worlds I want to introduce to you before Iâm old and gray. I want to get faster, work harder, and get better at drawing interesting settings so I can get the wheels turning as soon as possible. I also want to stop avoiding the color blue like a coward.
What do you wish you knew when you first started out creating art that you know now?
Pay your taxes quarterly. Tablets will break at the exact moment you need them most, so have a spare. Wear your blue light glasses. Youâre going to need to wear a brace on every joint on the right side of your body. It can be lonely sitting at your desk all day. The car on the side of the road that costs $1000 cashâŠ.. donât trust it!!!
Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?
@cranityâThey use absolutely beautiful colors and weighty line work. Everything looks so sharp and clean! I wanna put it all up on my wall!
@vewnâTheir ability to crank out quality short films and illustrations packed with detail is incredible. The off-kilter perspective they use really sells disorientation and catches your attention like nothing else.
@nelnalâThey have absolutely banger character designs again and again, I canât believe one personâs mind can come up with so many creative ideas!
@jinx88kcâThey have a beautiful and recognizable style, and the way they incorporate animation into their illustrations sometimes is SO cool!
Thanks for stopping by, Metal! For more of Metalâs work, follow their Tumblr, @themetalhiro! If you haven't seen their Meet the Artist piece, be sure to check it out here!

I've seen a lot of Jedi characters with tattoos, and some Jedi who specifically got the Jedi Order symbol tattooed, but where are the Jedi with Jedi ART tattoos?
Jedi with tattoos that are replications of their favorite statue in the Temple.
Jedi with tattoos that represent the beautiful architecture of the Temple.
We know that the Jedi seem to like those sort-of circular patterns seen in Mortis and stuff like that, so Jedi with those circular patterns in their tattoos.
I don't believe that there isn't just art in general inside the Temple, painted murals and portraits and the like, so plenty of Jedi should have tattoos of their favorite piece of art.
And also probably things like manuscripts with ancient Jedi art embossed and painted on the pages, so Jedi who work in the Archives more and specialize in research could get replications of ancient Jedi art from a page in their favorite manuscript.
I want the Jedi to be able to show their love and pride for their culture's art on their bodies.

Series Masterlist
âč ⶠ𧷠â¶âčÂ
It took you a second to register your surroundings.
You knew the house was bound to be nice. After all, Rhysandâs family was loaded. Youâd seen it in pictures from previous vacations, in the ones Mor had sent you over past summers when youâd gone back home. But even then, you still hadn't prepared yourself enough. The house wasn't only large and fancy. It was cozyâ lived in. And it was absolutely beautiful.
There were little touches everywhereâ- knick-knacks and seashells, photo frames, and soft rugs that felt like clouds under your feet. From somewhere deeper in the house, you heard Feyre and Rhys laughing. They had arrived a few hours earlier, settling in and preparing the house for the rest of you. At least, thatâs what they told you all.
You and Mor had your suspicions that their reason for such an early arrival was more about having an empty house to mess around in before the rest of you came. You could still hear Morâs conspiratorial whisper in your ear, teasing about how Feyre and Rhys probably took advantage of the quiet to enjoy some uninterrupted time together.
"They probably wanted to get all the best spots first," Mor had joked on the drive over, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. You laughed, agreeing silently that Rhysand and Feyre's early arrival was likely more for their own pleasure than out of any noble desire to prepare the house.
From outside, the crunch of gravel under tires announced the arrival of Azriel and Cassian. You heard the low rumble of their car engine idling before it was cut off, followed by the slam of car doors and the muffled sound of laughter.
âCâmon, let me show you your room,â Mor said, placing down a few of her bags and gesturing with her perfectly manicured hand.
You followed her up a set of stairs, taking in the walls lined with art and framed photos. Each frame was unique, from sleek, modern designs to ornate, vintage styles. The artwork ranged from abstract paintings to intricate sketchesâ and interspersed among the art were photographs capturing various moments. It was easy to spot the ones Mor was in, her blonde hair standing in stark contrast against the raven black of Rhysand and his sister and the dark brown of Azriel and Cassian.
You stopped at one in particular, a photo of Rhys, Cassian, Azriel and Mor standing around a small, circular wooden table. You laughed.
Mor turned around at the sound, a frown on her face as her gaze flickered between you and the gallery before you.
âOh my god,â she said, quickly backtracking a few stairs down. âDo not look at that.â
But it was too late. You leaned forward to inspect the photo more. Rhysand had braces, Cassian was sporting a terrible haircut, Azriel looked too tall for his frame, and Mor was mid-laugh, a piece of pizza hanging onto the metal outline of her own braces. You let out another laugh, cooing out a sweet Aww at your best friend.
She huffed beside you. âIâm going to kick you out of this house if you keep staring at it.â
You flashed her a grin. âAw, câmon. I love it.â
Mor only gave you a blank look in response. She stayed still, raising an eyebrow impatiently as you grinned, eyes flickering between her and your newfound favorite photo. You reached into your back pocket, fingers grasping the edge of your phone. You itched to have the photo in your camera roll, to be able to send it to Mor as a joke whenever she failed to return your texts.
She registered the movement quickly, letting out a small sound of surprise.
"Absolutely not!â
Mor grabbed your arm before you managed to take a proper picture, pulling you up the stairs behind her as you laughed.
âYou realize I can just take a picture later?â
âIâm taking that damn thing down,â she grumbled, âYouâre enjoying it too much.â
You let her drag you along, still chuckling as you absorbed the surroundings. The house truly was a perfect blend of comfort and luxury, with wide hallways adorned with art and mementos, and an abundance of windows that flooded the space with natural light. It felt cleanâ dreamlike, even.
Turning a corner, Mor stopped, opening the door with a large gesture. You stepped inside, eyes widening at the open space. Sunlight poured in from the large windows and a small sliding door framed the ocean view perfectly.
âOh my god,â you breathed. A sense of peace washed through you.
âI knew youâd love it,â she said with a satisfied grin. âWait for the best part.â
She walked over and gently slid open the small door, your vision quickly registering the balcony connected to your room. You stepped out, the fresh ocean air hitting you immediatelyâbringing with it the soothing sound of waves and the tangy scent of salt. The view was breathtaking: an endlessly stretching out horizon with water sparkling under the midday sun.
You closed your eyes, reveling in all of the senses. You could almost feel the stress of the past few weeks melt away, a tangible sense of release rolling through your limbs. You didnât need to think about grad school applications now, didnât have to worry about buffing up your resume.
When you opened your eyes, you turned to find Mor watching you with a satisfied, giddy expression. âItâs like a little slice of paradise.â
âMore than a little,â you mused as you took in the view before you. âDoes everyone have a balcony?â
âNope,â she replied, âI preferred the nicest shower. But Rhys and I figured youâd want easy access to outside for the same reasons Azriel picked his room.â
She mimicked bringing something to her lips and taking a drag.
You rolled your eyes but a laugh left your lips in spite of yourself. It took you a few seconds before her final words registered and your eyes trailed to the balcony beyond her shoulder, where another little door connected to the space.
Mor followed your movement.
âThatâs Azâs room,â she clarified. âYou share the balcony.â
âOh,â you said. Mor gave you another smile. âCool.â
She let out a small shriek of excitement, grabbing you in a quick hug. âGod, Iâm so excited for this summer. I get to tan, listen to some music, hang out with my favorite people and get pissed faced drunk.â
âAll of your favorite things.â
Her grin grew on her red-painted lips. âExactly.â
She paused, eyes widening as she dropped her hands from around you, taking a step back as she said, âWe need to get drinks!â
Without another word she darted off, calling out for Feyre as she turned the corner and disappeared from your viewpoint.
Your gaze lingered on your open door for a moment before you turned around, walking closer to the edge of the patio. You leaned over the balcony, taking a deep, calm breath. The horizon stretched out before you, waves rolling in a rhythm that seemed to sync with your heartbeat.
Youâd always loved the beach, loved the sense of peace that came with being near the ocean. Something about it felt so newâ felt so refreshing and lively.
The sound of distant laughter filtered into your ear, and you easily recognized the boisterous cadence of Cassianâs voice. You followed the sound, glancing over towards the glass door of the adjacent room. Through the sliver of his roomâs open curtains, you watched as Azriel dropped a bag on his bed, a small smile on his face at something said to him.
You angled your head further.
A nagging voice in the back of your mind reminded you that it might seem odd to be peering into someone elseâs space, even if they were your friends. But, they were your friends, werenât they? It wasnât weird to be interested in what they were up to, especially when you were all sharing this space for the summer. So you pushed aside the fleeting feeling of unease, convincing yourself that you were simply being sociable and observant.
Azriel lifted his head. You blinked, quickly looking back to the view in front of you in an effort to avoid catching his gaze. You grimaced to yourself, a rush of heat flowing to your cheeks.
Smooth.
You shook your head, gently tapping the balcony railing as you turned around to head back into your room. You made sure to keep your gaze down, to fight the urge for your eyes to flicker towards Azrielâs door.
âč ⶠ𧷠â¶âč
All of the windows in the kitchen were open, filling the space with the fresh scent of ocean breeze. You gave Rhys and Feyre a quick greeting, walking towards one of the opened back doors. The urge to explore the beach and feel the sand beneath your feet pulled at you, calling to you like a siren to a sailor, but you stayed still. The drive here had been lengthy and, as a result, your deep-seated exhaustion weighed heavy on your limbs.
âThinking of going and looking around?â Feyre asked, a small smile playing on her lips.
"Later, definitely. Iâm feeling a bit too tired right now to be in the blazing sun.â
Feyre offered you a knowing nod. âMakes sense.â
The sound of footsteps drew your attention and you turned to see Azriel and Cassian entering the kitchen. The latter's eyes immediately found yours, a grin breaking out on his lips as he walked towards you in three long strides. He wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pulled you into his side.
âGod, I missed you,â Cassian said. You resisted the urge to roll your eyes at the comment, knowing full well that you all had met up before making the drive to ensure that you had everything needed. But Cassian always had a flare for the dramatic. So, instead, you just gave him a small laugh and wrapped your arms around him in return.Â
He pointed to Azriel. âHeâs such a bore, dude. He wouldnât play any games on the road.â
Your gaze flickered over to Azriel. He rolled his eyes.
âBecause your games involved me removing both hands from the wheel.â
Cassian shrugged, the movement redistributing the weight of his arm around your shoulders. âSo?â
âSo?â Azriel retorted. He opened his mouth to say more, but with a quick scan of Cassianâs face led him to closing his mouth and offering another eye roll. Azriel then turned his attention to you, holding your gaze as he offered you a smile.
âHey, Y/n.â
His voice was much softer than a few seconds ago, a different tone than that he had used with Cassian.
You smiled back. âHi, Az.â
You werenât sure what to do next, torn between wanting to give him a small hug and the presence of Cassianâs arm around you. Az held your gaze for another moment before he walked past. You took in his figure, briefly noticing the change in his attire from this morning when youâd seen both him and Cassian. His long, black pants were now replaced by black shorts, instead. Before your stare could linger, Mor entered from the opened porch door, kicking off the sand-covered shoes she wore as she stepped into the houseâs threshold.
âOh great, youâre all here,â she said, pushing her sunglasses up onto her head. âCass, are you ready to go?â
âYup,â Cassian responded excitedly. He separated himself from you, casting a quick glance down at your form. âWanna come?â
âWhere are you guys going?â
Mor and Cassian answered simultaneously, âLiquor store.â
You raised an amused brow. âHave we become too fancy to just go to a grocery store?â
Mor shrugged. âI like my options.â
From across the kitchen, Rhys wrapped an arm around Feyre's torso, a cheeky grin on his face as he leaned forward to place his chin on her shoulder. âAnd yet, Mor, you always manage to return with a bottle of wine and a pack of white claws.â
Mor offered him a scowl. âShut it.â
âActually,â Feyre hummed, âWhile you guys are out can you grab some groceries? I have a list. I can text it to you.â
Mor and Cassian exchanged a glance. âSure, but it might take a while.â
Feyre arched an eyebrow. From beside her, Rhys rolled his eyes. âWhy?â
It was Azriel who responded to her question, âBecause theyâre probably planning to 'taste test' everything they buy. So then they'll be sitting there and waiting it out until they can drive again."
You glanced over at him, watching as a sly smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. The hazel of his eyes were bright now, more visible with the sunlight pouring through the windows. There was a glint of amusement in them as he met your gaze.
Morrigan let out a sound of mock offense. Cassian grinned. You laughed, giving him a playful swat with your hands. It only made his grin grow further.
âI can grab it, Feyre,â you said, âCass and Mor can go on the alcohol run alone.â
She gave you a grateful smile, but a flicker of concern furrowed her brow. âAre you sure? Itâs kinda a lot for one person.â
You frowned. âHow many things are we buying?â
âI figured we should make as many meals to counterbalance the amount weâre spending on drinks.â
You clicked your tongue. âSmart.â
She tossed a glance over her shoulder, meeting the studying gaze of her boyfriend. âI can go with you.â
Rhysand instantly frowned and mumbled under his breath, but you failed to catch his words as Azrielâs voice chimed in behind you.
âI can go.â
He stood next to you and you looked up at him, meeting his eyes for a fleeting second. He smiled.Â
âAnd I can drive.â
âč ⶠ𧷠â¶âčÂ
The list Feyre had given you was indeed a lotâ and all over the place.
Az trailed after you, pushing the large shopping cart as you slowly scanned the shelves in front of you. The car ride with him had been quiet, but it was the type of quiet you often yearned forâ the comfortable kind that made you feel at home. He'd opened your car door for you, a gesture so casual and natural that you hadn't fully registered it until you were sitting in his front seat, pulling your seatbelt on. For some reason, the act had yet to leave your mind.Â
"What do you need?"
Azriel' braced his forearms on the cart's handle, leaning forward as he waited for your answer. Your gaze fell to the silver chain that dangled from his neck, now freed from its usual place hidden underneath his shirt.
"Y/n?"
You blinked. "Yeah?"
Azriel's brows furrowed slightly and he straightened his posture, pushing the cart closer to you. "Feyre's list," he clarified, "What's on it?"
You let out a small oh of realization, offering Azriel your phone in order for him to read off Feyre's comprehensive list of groceries. You switched places, Azriel maneuvering around the cart to look around the store. Your phone looked so strange in his hand and you suddenly regretted offering it to him instead of forwarding the text. You grimaced to yourself, mentally praying that your parents didn't message youâ that no strange, unpromising alert flashed across your screen as he held it. The feeling that now flushed your body was the same cold, unrealistic panic that you felt when you traveledâ when you'd go through airports and suddenly stress yourself into thinking you'd accidentally packed a live firework or a bomb.
Azriel had made it across an aisle by the time you reeled your thoughts back in. You let yourself fall behind his steps, observing him as he walked along the various cereal boxes.
There was a time where you'd believed that you and Azriel could be more than friendsâ back in freshman year when you'd first met. It was an instant spark, something so electric even Mor had felt it, had spent weeks making jokes about your crush. And months later you'd found yourself in that room with Azriel, inches away from his face on halloween night, lips still tasting of the fruity drink Cassian had made for you.
But nothing happenedâ not then, not after.
Two years had passed since and so much had changed. Not only within your life, but with Azriel himself.
He looked different now. His hair was longerâ still cropped enough at the sides to show that dangling dagger earring you'd always lovedâ but long enough on top where his curls were on full display. He'd grown those out in the past two years, had stopped cutting his hair too short for them to show. He was tanner now, too, his golden brown skin holding an even darker sun-kissed glowâ but you attributed that to the summer sun rather than the years.
It all fit him so well.
Azriel turned to face you, two large boxes of cereal in either hand. You straightened yourself, fixing your posture as hastily as a child caught watching something they shouldn't have been. If Azriel noticed anything, he didn't make any indication, opting to ask you about which cereal the others would prefer.
You both managed to switch again, Az taking his place pushing the cart as you examined the various boxes on the shelves in front of you. There were only a few more things left on Feyre's list and it felt like an internal fight to find all the items before the grocery store's white light lured you to an eternal sleepâ or a well needed nap.
"You excited?"
You looked over at Azriel, meeting his hazel eyes instantly. While his face seemed neutral, you could see the hint of enjoyment that danced in his eyes, a golden-hued green that made you smile instinctively. "Yeah," you said, "It'll be a fun summer.â
Azriel made a sound akin to an appreciative, agreeable hum. The aisles felt narrower the more you walked alongside him, feeling the ghost of his touch as you brushed against him with every step.
"And for the festival?" He asked.
Your smile grew larger at this.
The festival was actually one of the things you were most excited for this summerâaside from the general premise of being with everyone, of course. Summit Pulse was three days of live music, featuring over 80 artists across multiple stages. From indie bands to electronic DJs, Summit had been a dream of yours to attend since freshman yearâthe same time you'd first learned that Mor and Rhys had a beach house in the same city it was hosted.
"Very," you tossed him a glance before you pulled out three boxes of instant Mac n Cheese. "And I can imagine you are too."
You were sure of it. Your shared love of music was one of the things you and Azriel had bonded about originally. You still remembered the first time you'd hung out with him outside of your Intro the Philosophy class, sitting on the couch in the apartment he shared with Cassian and Rhysand. You'd spent most of the night looking at each other's musicâ analyzing your saved playlists and talking about the various concerts you'd been to.
Az's smile grew, a single dimple appearing on his cheeks as the corners of his eyes crinkled. "You'd be correct," he replied. A small pause followed before he said, "I think I just need to get the energy for it."
You laughed, stopping in place to turn around and look at him. "Me too," you admitted. The exhaustion from early had started to rear its ugly head again and your legs still ached with the long car ride. You let out a small tired sigh, running a hand along your face. Azriel's eyes traced the movement.
"I am really excited,â you said, âBut god, I'm so exhausted. I'm glad we have a few days for me to mentally prep."
Az raised a brow. "I can imagine. You've had quite the semester."
You titled your head in response, brows falling into a subtle, confused furrow.Â
"Mor told me how hard you guys were working, that your professors werenât very accommodating.â
You raised a single brow at his wording and the corners of Azrielâs lips twitched upwards. âAlright,â he added with an amused shake of his head. âShe said your professors were assholes who needed to get laid.â
You let out a small snort at this, an unintended response that you wouldâve felt embarrassed about had it been anyone but Azriel in front of you. His smile seemed to quirk up further.Â
"Mor was right. It was a rough semester to say the least.âÂ
For more reasons than you'd been willing to let on. Yes, your coursework had gotten a lot more demanding, but it wasn't just schoolwork that tired you out. Mor and Feyre had already started their grad school applications, spending nights in the libraries making pros and cons lists for every school each of you were interested in. Their plan was to find places close enough to one another, to settle in one city and get a large apartment together. Your grad school applications had remained untouchedâ you had no schools in mind. No programs. No connections.
"I can also imagine your breakup didn't help with it all," Az said. His voice was quieter now, as if he was unsure of the words he was speaking. You held his gaze as he looked at you. "I'm sorry about that, by the way."
You shrugged. "I'm not."
It was the truth. Eris had been a great boyfriend, sure, but you weren't overtly heartbroken over the breakup. Youâd met Eris in a Political Science class and despite your initial impression of him, heâd grown on you fast. He was a sweetheart at his core but you simply didnât mesh as well as you once thought. The breakup was inevitable in the same way that it was amicable, mutual, and very much needed.Â
Something flickered across Azrielâs face and his gaze darkened. He straightened himself, his posture now emphasizing the height he held over you. "Why?" Azriel said, voice low. "Did he do something?"
His response made your mouth go dry for a fleeting second. Azriel and Eris always had a long-standing hatred for each other that youâd never truly understood. It traced back to some events that had transpired during their high school years, this you knew, but your knowledge stopped at that. Your relationship with Eris had definitely distanced you from your friendsâ Mor and Azriel to be specific, but now that things were finally beginning to feel normal again, you didnât want to ruin it.Â
"No, no," you quickly clarified, offering him a reassuring smile. His shoulders seemed to relax at your answer and you swallowed as you took in his face again, gaze still entirely focused on you.
You cleared your throat before turning yourself around to examine the shelves once more with new interest. "He was a good boyfriend to me. But it wasn't going anywhere and I felt like he was distracting me from more important things."
Reaching up, you attempted to grab a box on the top shelf, recognizing it as the last of those granola bars that Mor used to hoard in her cupboard. The box remained out of reach with every stretch of your hand.
"So no more distractions for you?"
Before you could respond to his question, Azriel was behind you, leaning over you to effortlessly grab the box from the shelf. He wasn't touching you, his chest still a respectable distance away from your back, but you felt the warm presence of him on your skin all the same. Your stomach did a small flip and you found yourself releasing a breath you hadn't realized you'd sucked in.
Azriel offered the box to you. You looked up at him, gently grabbing it with pinkened cheeks. You chose your next words carefully.
"Only meaningful ones."

Piece of His Heart
Hii everyone, I'm back from my long hiatus!! Hope you missed me because boy did I miss YOU! <3 This one is a little emotional, a little sweet, and VERY Harry focused. Also, I was inspired to write this piece while listening to 'London's Song' by Matt Hartke, and trust me, it's a lovely song. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Verse - Artist!Harry x Photographer!Y/n
Word Count - 1.0k
Warnings - Mentions of unplanned pregnancy, financial stress.
Harry and Y/n were students, and now, parents to a newborn babygirl as well. With all of the newfound emotions rushing through them, one thing he knew was that they were going to build this new little family slowly, and lovingly.
Harry looked up at the ceiling, at the overused fan moving slowly and creakily, with one of his arms under his head while the other one remained draped over his little baby's back.Â
She was curled up on top of him, breathing softly, her little hands fisting his shirt.Â
Daylight was pouring into the room through the gap between the two curtains, and Harry still couldn't believe that the little one sleeping away on his chest was finally here, after a worthwhile wait of a full nine months.
He still remembers the nickname he'd given her while she was still inside her mum's belly â 'Pumpkin' he had called her, and her little frame couldn't have agreed more with him.Â
Full and round cheeks hung a little low on her face, her small mouth in a pout and eyes as circular as pearls, nothing if not the true meaning of grace.
Which is why he'd settled with the name 'Opal', grinning widely while Y/n had nodded furiously with tears in her eyes, saying how it was the perfect name ever.
His mornings suddenly became impossibly sweeter, something he hadn't expected since he had moved back in this childhood home with Y/n.
A few days ago, when he had laid his eyes on the bundle of sunshine for the very first time ever, a huge piece of his heart, if not his entire heart, had been taken right then and there.Â
Sighing, Harry got up very carefully, wary of waking up the newborn and then, when he successfully hadn't, laid her on the two person size sofa â all that he could fit in the name of a seat inside his small art studio.Â
He had just turned to get back to his awaiting Canvas, when Opal began mumbling. She was talking in her sleep, he realised with a smile growing on his face, making his dimples show up.Â
Another piece of his heart was taken then.Â
He wondered, each time that she slept, about just what she was dreaming up. On nights, he worried if she wasn't warm enough, wanted her to know that there was a blanket of stars above her â but he knew he could wait until she began talking to do that.Â
Even though he couldn't afford the best, he was going to make this work. He was going to be the best father out there, give Opal all of his love, all with Y/n by his side.
Putting back down the paintbrush he had picked up because he couldn't stop thinking of her, Harry walked back over with his stool to sit and watch her. He crossed over the chair, his front against the chair's backrest as he rested his face on his arms, gazing down with a soft smile on his mouth.Â
"I can't wait for you to grow up so that we can talk, you know? So, hopefully, you can tell me if this is where you'll always wanna be," he spoke, brushing away the unruly mop curls on her head.Â
"And we can go to a place where you look at the light and it splinters," he sighed, moving to cover her up with a blanket. "Where there's plenty of gas in our car to last us the cold, cold winter," tears glazed over his sight, sniffling as he looked at her small figure lull to side as she slept â he almost let slip a chuckle.Â
Right then, she took whatever pieces were left of his heart.Â
Winter this year wasn't easy, but that wasn't to say that it wasn't the best one aside from the ones he had spent with Y/n. So much financial stress had come with the unplanned pregnancy, and now a baby. But he knew that the both of them could pull through the loans and make it out as a happy and healthy family, if they stuck together.Â
Y/nâs dad, a single father, was a little bit bitter about the whole situation but had begrudgingly stepped forward to help out the two with handling the house, seeing as the both of them had to attend college as well as take care of the baby. He dropped off the groceries last weekend, along with the last minute new-born-baby stuff that Y/n had told him they needed.Â
Even Anne stepped forward, letting the two of them borrow a room in her house for as long as they needed â likely until they could get back up on their own feet financially.
Currently, as Harry sat feeling overwhelmed with all of the love and other emotions rushing through him, he could hear Anne talking to Y/n down the hall. The walls werenât the thickest and he could tell that Anne was sharing her own stories with Y/n, telling her about how sheâd had Harry at a young age, and more.Â
Heâd heard it before, had even seen the two of them having this chat. So he knew that Anne, very likely, had Y/nâs head in her lap and brushing her hands through her hair, trying to console the woman high on hormones and the insurmountable number of emotions she must be feeling.Â
Wiping away at his nose with the sleeve of his flannel, Harry blinked away the tears and pulled up a smile on his face again, trying to be courageous, for Y/n and their daughter. Because he knew that Y/n was doing the same for them. For the little family they were both going to build slowly and lovingly now.
"But I also want you to be this little forever, so that I can cherish you enough, yes?" He asked her, nodding his head when she mumbled something incoherent, something similar to âweâll be fine, dada', Harry wanted to believe.Â
And unable to help himself, he picked her up again, holding her flush against his exposed torso because he didnât have the energy to button up his shirt and the skin to skin contact made breathing a little easier.Â
"I'll love you tenderly," he whispered, pressing a kiss on her forehead. "I'll love you forever, and more, little pumpkin."Â

Welcome back to Overcomplicating the Pyrrhian Tribes! This week: the beloved RainWings!!
You know what's up. Joy Ang and Tui are so cool and I am just me.
Details and explanation below!
Otherwise, next week are the chilly IceWings! See you then!!!
More overcomplicated dragons.
I knew the RainWings would be really important, and I think they turned out the best of all the ones I've done. I think they're my favourite because they are basically the perfect mix of extra realism spice without altering Joy's design too much. The SkyWing design is awesome and I love it to bits, but it is one of the two that are the farthest from canon.
As for the RainWing.... I had. So. Much. FUN. I heavily used chameleons and snakes - they're basically the two main species on my research board - but there is a dash of cuttlefish and frilled lizard in there. Where, you ask? Well if you look closely, all over the RainWing are little tiny flecks of darker colour. I found a beautiful reference of a close-up on a cuttlefish eye. Its skin is dotted in thousands of little marks and I thought that would be perfect for the RainWing, who can camouflage just as well as them. I don't know if it's been discussed in canon but I bet they could animate their scales more than just colour shifting - cuttlefish are known for using their rapidly shifting patterns to hypnotize prey. RainWings could do it too, sort of like Ka from Disney's 2D animated Jungle Book.
Speaking of Ka - snakes. I love snakes. The head structure of the RainWing here is very smooth and rounded with muscles based on snakes like the python. I was even going to originally draw them in a venom striking pose and got as far as completing the lineart, but ultimately decided it wouldn't fit the calm portraits of the other tribes.
Will you see it in the future? Hell yeah! Pure, unhinged, magical death spit. Looking at it now I might try to alter it to be a full piece of Glory attacking Scarlet or Crocodile.
In the striking pose you can see the frills much better, but I still took my time on this serene pose (this is where the frilled lizard influence comes in). If you notice that I've drawn every scale (every single scale) then, yes, I am insane. If you didn't know that yet, you know it now. You have to draw guide lines and follow them meticulously while you wonder why you don't make a scale brush, and then cry because you know the randomness and imperfections that come from drawing a thousand circles is how it looks natural. The eye area is actually my favourite part, since drawing dragon eyelids was the original inspiration for doing this. Did I mention that? I wanted to draw eyelids.
EYELIDS.
I digress. Besides the eyelids, I like the frills on the action pose, but this pose is where I like the body scales more. When zooming in on my chameleon colour refs, I noticed the very rhythmical distribution of their scales and figured I would give it a try. They actually do have extra large circular scales along their bodies, which is where I guess the canon RainWing design gets it from. Very clever, Joy!
Anyway, on this version, those small circular scales appear on the face. Not only that, but I added a bit of influence from the snouts of my ref chameleons by extending the nose bridges to wrap around the nose horn. They blend in so seamlessly and that's the reason why I love this design - it's subtle, barely there, mostly Joy but a little extra.
Wow, I talk too much. If you're here, thank you! It's not mandatory to read, but very appreciated. I heard once that visitors at an art gallery look at each piece an average of 2-3 seconds. Or was it 3-6? Idk, but it was shockingly short, and ever since then I've tried to encourage myself to pay more respect to other artists and glean their work for little details I skip after that quick glance. I could talk so much more about these designs but that would be like an hour long video, each, lol. If you have questions about anything, ask away!
