#The summoner's saga

[whimsimmortal]

Oh my goodness ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) It's Pink Astronaut hours fr in chapter 5 of the Summoner's Second Chances...!!

“I’m… um. Dangerous. And, just… so very complicated.” 

“Hey. Girls like that,” she argued. 

“I’m also so, so stupid.” 

What? “No you’re—” 

The words froze right there, between her loosely parted lips, as his buzzing, rubber-gloved fingertips gently embraced the edge of her jaw. He leaned in close, eyes lidded, and softly, sweetly bumped his wind-chapped lips and the tip of his nose into her cheek. 

Concept sketches below the cut!

I drew this at work! Where I am a medical professional! Back in September! You know what, adulthood doesn't all gotta be boring 😤

Edited bc Apollo isn’t the sun god :/- thanks for reminding me guys-

Apollo:You all know that I’m a fan of catchy songs. So with so many sirens gone, I think Ody’s in the wrong.

Athena:They were trying to do him- your kidding, right?

Apollo:What?

Athena:Your fighting for a man because he killed sirens that were trying to kill him?

Apollo:I mean, like yeah. Pretty much.

Athena:….Seriously-

Apollo:I have like no beef with this sad and pathetic man. I have wayy much better things that fighting but he killed my sirens man, I can’t let that slide!

Athena:To Gods above below and those outcasts- there’s literally a Siren In the Crowd with the Lotus Eaters and your fucking-

Apollo:I HAVE NO BEEF WITH THIS DUDE-

Athena:THEY’RE LITERALLY IMMORTAL- WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE?!—

Otakon was amazing. Finally getting to wear my Azem summoning circle gown in person was so much fun. I had multiple people stopping me to gush over my costume and people from HERE telling me they saw it online and were so excited to see it in person. I haven’t been to a con since right before the pandemic and it was so nice to come back to a space I love so much. My goal of someone knowing what I was without me explaining was reached (thanks to the ffxiv photoshoot)! And I can’t wait to see the pictures of the group photo shoot. I added more details to the costume and (minus the stars which were my nemesis falling off the whole day) everything was perfect.

The gown itself took about 100 hours total. 85 originally and 15 to add finishing touches. The top is gold lamé and the chiffon overlay was ripping so I removed it. I have a whole costume breakdown under the tag for the original dress creation.

The necklace has an Azem summoning stone that my fantastic friends brought me from Fanfest which I repurposed. The most added details are the stars. I felt the black spots between the p design and the beams was a bit too big and wanted something to bridge the gap. I also considered adding my statics job symbols in the circles but they keep changing jobs XD

I added some more filigree details to the main Azem design in the front of the gown and individual rhinestones to each of the right angle v filigree and each of the small mirrored circles that make up the big circles because I’m extra along with a gold ribbon for the hem

Then I decided to add lights

Again because I’m extra

I don’t have skill with LEDs so I used individual 6ft fairy lights with tiny battery packs. I painted each battery pack black because the white shows through the skirt especially when lit up. There are about 75-90 battery packs I lost count at 2 am on Wednesday honestly ahaha. I looped them twice up and down so the effect would be less spaced out but I might edit that in the future if I figure LEDs and how to get more powerful ones because they weren’t really strong enough for 10 hours (you can faintly see them in the pictures above) and I kept turning them off when I sat. I used the same petticoat but added a hoop skirt because I was wearing tennis shoes (sadly sensible instead of fashionable) instead of my platform boots.

When people complimented me I would ask if they wanted to see my favorite part (which is spinning) and the laughs and gasps of delight were fantastic. Overall I’m so fucking proud of this costume. Thank you to all of you fab people from the FFXIV coordination who said such kind things I’m so flattered and lovingly overwhelmed. It was an amazing return to cosplay.

a valuable part of fallen london progression is starting the game thinking the masters are all collectively playing evil mastermind organization-13-esque sixth dimensional chess and then by the endgame knowing they're just individually playing their own games of normal 3 dimensional chess just like the rest of us. and they're all playing against each other. and (this is the important part) none of them even know how chess works

Eddie goes live from a Target after he initially went in to sign some of the Corroded Coffin records as a surprise for fans. Now him and Steve are looking at the DVDs for something to watch and they can’t agree on what to get, so Eddie took to the internet like, “Help us pick what movie to watch.”

They’re going back and forth on the movie, and like. Mike is in the chat and he agrees with Eddie. So…

Eddie: We love Mike. We should take his opinions into consideration.

Steve: Yeah, yeah, we all love Mike but do we *holds up the DVD for 2002 classic starring Lil Bow Wow* Like Mike?

Eddie:

Eddie:

Dustin: That’s a good one

Eddie, panning the camera dramatically over to Dustin: Where the fuck did you come from?!

Chapter 4 of the Summoner's Second Chances fic is here!!!

She took the chance to study him: the mesmerizing waving of his hair, like seagrass… the illuminated curve of his cheekbones and his jaw, and of his slackened, chapped lips… the bridge of his nose—were those freckles? Aww! She’d never been close enough to notice.

So many concept sketches below cut! Spoilers, ig...?

Had to practice coloring dim lighting on the black paper before I did the official illustration >0> so here's ur bonus "color swatch"

"Waffle face" haha lol poor sucker

"Would it kill you to trust me a little bit?"

He scowled, sulky and hazy. "Well... I dunno. Will it?"

since the gods, being nonhuman, can summon backup vocals

i think it’s really telling that the only time athena summons backup vocals is at her moment most detached from humanity: when she yells back at odysseus during my goodbye (after all you’re just a man)

This year for Halloween I was Azems summoning circle. Immensely proud of how this turned out and that I get to summon my friends from around the world on a regular basis.

Edit: Here is a breakdown of how I made this costume! Thank you everyone for all your kind words, this is one of my favorite things I’ve created and I’m gonna try and get some more pictures of the details and updates I’m making on it!
