#TIME TO GO AGAIN LADS

[voreasaurusrex]

got a bit of a late start, as some stuff came up that took priority, but im gonna try to do gtober again this year!!

day 1: cozy ft oleander and @madmythologist's character moth

It's insane how Pei Ming slutted his way through life and slutted it up even more once ascended, banging mortal, god, ghost, and demon alike yet he managed to be known as The God of Love. People wish STDs upon his hoe ass and STILL pray to him for luck with romance. Meanwhile one unfortunate government mandated typo and poor Feng Xin is forever known as Thick Dick Daddy 27. Like how is that fair.

Ooh, you want to know what happens at the gay bar run by ex-pirates, ooh...You'll just have to read Tiger Tiger to find out...

(Inspired by this Disco Elysium comic)

[angelsdean]

i need bedlund (hungry freak cas understander, much to say about destiel) and robbie thompson (queer nerd dean understander, wrote first destiel confession with dean saying "i love you" FIRST) to put their heads and pens together and work on s16. like pls. i need it

[kenzan-brainrot-mp4]

My ass has Not been drawing because I'm trying to get through Infinite Wealth as fast as possible but oughh kazumaji, oh the way things change

The fact that these two scenes are 16 Years Apart is crazy.

The fact that it took 16 years, 5 games, and countless instances of Kiryu leaving for Majima to finally just outright tell him "don't leave", whereas before he would've just stayed quiet.

The fact that Majima stayed silent in Yakuza 3 when Kiryu was leaving to live a new, free life while leaving Majima to take care of his responsibilities, meanwhile in IW he speaks up when Kiryu leaves to go throw his remaining life away for the yakuza while leaving the 3jimas to their quiet (if admittedly miserable) new lives. ohhh they make me sick

Regarding Colm's pony - every shitty parent looking to get rid of a pony I've been aware of has just sold the pony without warning the kid. If mom is financially-minded, horse body disposal costs money, and even shipping to a downmarket auction will at least pay for the petrol. HOWEVER, what I keep rotating for drama: there is a "murdered for insurance money" option, depending on the value of the pony (a little light fraud may have been involved) - this was definitely a thing around the 70s-80s in the states, but it tended to come out years later, after the statue of limitations on animal cruelty ran out and the people doing the horse wetwork came clean. In this case, maybe the vet who signed off on an accidental death for the horse insurance company admitted misgivings to one of the boys as adults, one random day they happened to see each other, but no one other than mom really knows?

(In reference to the probable fate of the childhood pony of Killie the Jockey OC and his siblings)

Oh my GOD you can’t just SAY THINGS like —

Oh that pony is DEAD-dead. Maximise the drama. Rotate that sod like a rotisserie chicken. You’re good at this.

🦂Commission Slots Open: MARCH!🦂

As you know, art is my only job rn and in order to support myself I figured I need to be fulfilling at least 4 or 5 comms a month.

In desperate need recently as my rent has increased this year and I'm helping my parents with bills too. Ideally I need to make £400 a month to help, so that's 5 or so slots to fill. I'd really appreciate the help 💖

Currently 3 commission slots available rn!

Details in my carrd as usual. DM me if interested :)

Also prints and stickers available on my etsy (you can DM me directly for them so not to go through etsy) and my inprnt which will help with daily costs etc. Also able to take print requests to make prints for a design you want that isn't already in my et/sy shop, for a bit extra. See pinned post for more detail about prints.

Thanks sm 💖

Caleb’s future myth - fiery birdboi

A speculation and why I think it will be connected to

The Vermillion bird, Phoenix and The Fenghuang

As I described in an earlier post, I have reason to suspect and speculate that the devs have dropped us several hints and hidden messages in Caleb’s tattoos in the current banner, Tomorrow’s catch 22. To sum my ramblings up; they point to Caleb being connected to the Vermillion bird, the Pheonix or The Fenghuang using Chinese homophones and meanings to numbers.

The meaning of this post is to give an overview on how hints from his others memories and the current event banner can also point to the same direction.

Brief overview of the key attributes to the Vermillion bird and why it fits Caleb:

The Vermilion Bird (Zhuque, 朱雀), as one of the Four Symbols in Chinese mythology, is primarily associated with fire, passion, summer, and the southern direction

Fire and how it connects to Caleb:

In café interractions he will comment something like «I’m burning up, you say?»

His main stellarium is red, representing fire(?)

Red apples, red strawberries (in the tomorrow’s catch event story). Both fruits have a strong connection to summer too.

Red red red red. Dude is red.

Description of his CNY outfit «Sunlit splendor»: Golden thread weave through bamboo as the crimson radiates warmth. Hello? Fire, crimson, warmth. Dude is fire. Guess what grows after being cut down? Bamboo. Just like the Vermillion bird represents rebirth and renewal.

If you touch his lips, he’ll comment on the MC starting a fire on his lips, and that she’s playing with fire.

Passion and how it connects to Caleb:

No further explanation needed. If you’ve started to read this lengthy text, you’re already aware of how this guy is both the thirstiest of the lot and has an unyielding passion for the MC and also flying or any other interest that catches his eye.

Summer and how it connects to Caleb:

His name in Chinese straightforward means summer. Xia Yizhou(夏以晝/夏以昼). The same interpretation applies to his Japanese name. No further elaboration needed. Guy IS summer.

His one memoria memory named «Endless summer»

His date of birth, 13th of June

South and how it connects to Caleb

In the current banner, Caleb and the MC lives in the southern district as children.

If Caleb indeed is the counterpart to Zayne (who represent the north, cold, blue stellarium, ice and frost), it’s natural that think that Caleb will be represented by a mythical creature that is directly connected to the south, aka The Vermillion bird representing warmth, fire, red stellarium.

There might be more hints towards the southern direction. I’ll come back and update if I find more.

Why must he be a birb and not some other summery, hot mythical being, you might ask?

WELL LEMME TELL YA

Exhibit 1

How the Vermillion bird can represent Caleb’s homecoming

The Vermillion bird is often associated with resurrection and cyclical rebirth, rising from flames. This could symbolize the return to one's origin, much like coming home to a place of comfort and familiarity after a period of growth or transformation.

In a personal sense, coming home after facing challenges or experiences of change aligns with the Vermilion Bird's power of regeneration—finding solace and reconnection with one’s roots or origins, even after a process of burning away or transformation.

If this description isn’t our favorite explosive boi, I dont know what is

Exhibit 2

Warmth and Security and Caleb’s homecoming:

The fire element associated with the Vermilion Bird could be tied to the idea of home as a place of warmth and comfort. Home is often seen as a place where one feels secure, protected, and nurtured, much like the fiery energy of the Vermilion Bird provides vitality and life.

Fire also provides light and warmth, which are essential aspects of making a space feel like home. The Vermilion Bird's fiery energy could represent the hearth or the center of a home, the place where people feel both nurtured and alive, reflecting the emotional warmth found in a home environment.

Exhibit 3

Harmony and Balance and how it might connect to Caleb:

The Vermilion Bird is a symbol of balance, especially the balance between Yin and Yang, which could symbolize the equilibrium or peaceful energy that a home provides. In relationships, the bird’s symbolism of harmony between opposites (e.g., masculine and feminine) could reflect a harmonious homecoming, where different forces come together in a balanced and peaceful way.

Lastly, we’re playing an otome game, peeps. The question we want answered is: IS FIREBIRBBOI A GOOD KISSER?!

Why is the Vermillion bird a good match for Caleb romantically?

1. Passion and Desire:

The fiery red feathers of the Vermilion Bird immediately evoke feelings of intense passion. Just like fire that can ignite a flame, the Vermilion Bird symbolizes the spark of romantic attraction and desire. Its association with fire reflects how romance can burn hot and intense, yet it also suggests the transformative nature of love.

Can it be more obvious? The friggin yearning have us all sat 🪑

2. Renewal and Rebirth:

The Vermilion Bird’s association with rebirth after death is highly romantic. Much like a lover who goes through challenges and emotional transformations, the bird’s ability to rise from flames mirrors the way that love can grow and evolve even after hardship.

This can symbolize the healing power of love and how relationships, despite difficulties, can emerge renewed and stronger, just like the phoenix-like cycle of the Vermilion Bird.

Yup. If this isn’t MC and Caleb, I don’t know what is.

3. Energy and Life:

The bird’s vibrancy and energy are often linked to the passionate energy that accompanies romantic love. Just like the warmth of summer, the Vermilion Bird represents a high point of emotional connection and shared vitality between lovers.

Its vitality reminds us of the excitement and adventure that can come with love, especially during the height of passion.

Our genki boi Caleb, right?

4. Freedom and Liberation:

The majestic wings of the Vermilion Bird represent freedom—in romance, this could symbolize the freedom to love without restrictions. The bird's flight may represent lovers who are free to explore their emotions, and the freedom within a relationship to grow, evolve, and express love authentically.

Additionally, its elegance may signify a love that is not just about physical attraction, but also about deep emotional connection, beauty, and respect in a romantic partnership.

I’M SAT. THIS IS THE MC AND CALEB.

Also: The description of Caleb’s newest outfit «Caged Wings»: No cage can restrain a soul that craves freedom. CAGED. WINGS.

And if this doesn’t convince you, please note:

Dude is a pilot. HE FLIES.

If you poke his back in the cafe he’ll comment on growing WINGS🪽 «Just because I can fly, doesn’t mean I have to grow wings»

His outfit in tomorrow’s catch, specifically the wings here:

Fire pokers?

Speaking of that exact sigil. I have reason to believe that the crossed thingies are a Chinese fire poker that has been opened up. Try to google 火钳 and tell me I’m wrong.

While fire pokers aren’t specifically a mythological tool associated with creatures like the Vermilion Bird or Phoenix in Chinese culture, fire tools in general do hold symbolic significance in fire-related rituals and spiritual practices. The Phoenix and Vermilion Bird, both deeply connected to the element of fire, metaphorically align with the ideas of transformation, rebirth, and renewal—concepts that can be associated with the act of tending fire using tools like fire pokers.

Unanswered yet:

Why doesn’t the fallen angel/Lucifer theory resonate with me? Because I just find that there are an overwhelmingly amout of hidden stuffs that point us to the firebirbs (they are also of eastern origin on the contrary to Lucifer)

I WILL ADD MORE if there is more, trust me x_x

Oh and thank you for all kind comments and suggestions! If you have anything pointing to firebirdboi, let me know. Love ya! ✨

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

DOES THIS MEAN WE'RE GETTING RERUNS SOON?!?!?

[raycatzdraws]

An unfinished Linked Universe / Zelda 1&2 animatic.

I forgot I'd made this!!! I'd gotten to a point where I realized I wanted to understand Hyrule's games better before continuing, so I stopped. Not sure if I'll return to it but I think what's here is pretty cool and worth sharing!

Linked Universe is from @linkeduniverse. The song is Run Boy Run by Woodkid.

The song works so well for Rulie aAAAA!!! The imagery around Hyrule is so fun to play with, too! Red, and blood, and hands, and eyes, and fire, and gold, and the triforce- it's all so good!

(made this in December 2021 lol)
