#Valerian Skye

[xxmetallic-monoxx]

Four of my characters from my passion project, Sky’s the Limit. I’ve been creating and developing these characters (+more I haven’t drawn like this yet) for four years now and I can’t wait to do more with them and share my vision. I hope you guys enjoy them over these next few years :]

Thank you, Mira. Farewell, BLADE.

(Link to a proper full resolution view version of this picture, without tumblr's compression)

While X' servers were still up and running, I spent a lot of time wandering around Mira, tracking down other players' Crosses, and screenshotting them whenever they had what I would consider a "farewell message". And the other day, reddit user NoodleTF2 posted a compilation of places where other players' Crosses can appear on Mira, which featured several people that I never saw (or never saw outside of menus). This big chonker of a picture (seriously, it's 5850 x 4320 - make sure to look at it in a full view!) is the result of me compiling every single ones of these farewell messages into one singular pic. The centrepiece is an edited screenshot of my own, since I obviously couldn't screenshot my own Cross, and thought that the sunset view of NLA made for a good middle of it all.

Thank you for everyone who came together in X' last days. You all made the end something to remember.

Foxglove, Sugarbush, Marigold. :3

foxglove: what is your favorite color and in what shade? 

Gold in golden shiny shade xD the metallic! -Jo

I love the bright moss green (also the textures) -Skye

sugarbush: do you have sweet tooth? if yes, what’s your favorite sweets? if no, why?

some of us love chocolate and fudge? (I think they’re called fudge?? the crumbly soft toffee-type of candy) but we don’t like anything overly sweetened (like your common sweet strawberry jam), we like more sour-ish jams for example blackcurrant and cloudberry jam. -Skye

marigold: what’s your favorite tea?

haaaa - we like this tea called Organic Sleep Easy infusion by Clipper. It smells like candy (ironically haha). It has cinnamon chamomille, valerian root, lemon balm for example in it. It’s a very calming and relaxing tea to have. Clippers tea’s overall are our favorite brand (they have peppermint, raspberry which is a delight as well and other good flavors). -Skye

Thank you for asking :D

[ren-c-leyn]

 I’m working on your Firewaker ask. It’ll take me a bit, but I think you’ll enjoy the answers ^^  That’s an interesting way to look at it. I never thought about writing out of order in that context before. I can see how it could be an effective approach, though ^^ It sounds like it gives you more freedom to find what cause and effect threads you find more interesting, while I do something similar by letting my story sit and simmer.

 That tracks for Skye. She loves to learn more, loves asking questions and finding answers, but from what I’ve seen in your scenes and snippets she seems to have built up her walls very high.

 Nope. You do get clues but you don’t meet what she’s running from until the end ^^ And her story isn’t the only one in Forgotten Gods like that. I also like having information spread throughout stories instead of clumped up all together. Makes it easier to follow along with and keeps the flow from breaking.

 It’s not uncomfortable for me ^^ I can’t do AUs with my own OCs, but if you can imagine your OCs getting stuck in Forgotten Gods then I think I’m doing a decent job with it. <3 Have you figured out what sorts of Gods they’d follow or what kind of champions they’d be?  You remembered correctly. The Firewalker’s background threads and world building is what led to me creating Forgotten Gods. The war between two opposing Pantheons led to the change of religion and the hunting of the Mages, whom are or descendants of priests of the old Gods. About halfway through the story, I got more and more curious about that aspect of it, particularly since Thistle worships the old God of luck and Valerian is a mage who denies the existence of Gods. But it wasn’t something I could bring to the forefront because the story is ultimately about Valerian and Thistle’s fight to change their lives.

 Put in those terms, your interest in the story does make sense to me now. And I’ll answer your question as to if it has a happy ending - That depends on what you define as a happy ending. To me it’s a bit more on the bittersweet side than a true happy ending, but it could also be considered a happy ending ^^

Happy STS, Ren! Hope you are having a good one ^^

So how do you go about choosing the beginning moment for each wip? Do you usually start with scenery? Any favourite beginnings? Or does it diffeent from wip to wip?

Your celebration posts are really amazing btw, been looking forward to them the whole week <3

@writingonesdreams

Happy sts to you too, Dreams ^^ I'm having an alright one, so far.

Like most of my chaotic process, it depends. I don't really have a method for it, though. I just start where it feels natural.

The Shackles of Time kicks off with the newbies arriving, so a sunrise while Merle was on the road to the guild felt right. Orion's Oblivion starts off with a ship battle as Orion's trying to catch a wanted criminal for the bounty. The Plight of a Sparrow opens on up a perfectly normal school day right before Sparrow's death and rebirth. My Ancestor, My Enemy starts with Lierin's ride through a nearly abandoned village right before she starts cave diving and so on.

I didn't really think about most of them, since the opening scenes usually come to my mind pretty quick after settling on a story concept. If they don't, I just think about where the inciting incident happens and roll with whatever words come to me from there.

Some of my favorite beginnings are the opening to The Shackles of Time with the purple prose sunrise. I love the poetic feel of it and how fitting it is for it being the beginning of their journeys as adventurers.

I also love The Firewalker's opening in the middle of the smoking ruins of a temple while Valerian prepares himself for a second round of fighting with a group of mage hunters. It's a weird mix of tension and peace while he's trying to calm himself down so that he doesn't burn himself alive but is also trying to stay alert enough so the hunters don't catch him off guard.

Forgotten God's opening is also very cool, with a tense and half asleep Silver trying to get her mare to focus on the path during a spooky dark night full of super thick fog.

Happy to hear that you're enjoying the anniversary celebration ^^ It took everything in me not to share the drawings early, I was so excited, but I'm happy to hear that it and all of the work I put into them are paying off <3

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you have a lovely day/evening.

We woke up on Day 3 to the weather being a bit grim and grey but we drove up to the Great Orme in Llandudno and parked up and wandered around for a bit. It was very cold though, and extremely windy so we didn’t spend much time out of the car. I couldn’t believe how many people were cycling up there either, very impressed!

Check out the video for the 3rd and 4th day here!

We then drove back into Conwy because they’re very close to each other and parked up near the castle. we walked into town and found the smallest house in Great Britain!

It was ridiculously tiny and although it’s not lived in now, the last guy who lived there was 6″3! Skye is about 6″ and even he struggled because it was so tiny. The guy who lived there used to have to eat out all the time and shower at the little BnB down the road. It was an interesting experience that doesn’t take up much time and I think it was about £1.50 each.

Then we went to the National Trust Aberconwy House which was literally round the corner. As it’s national trust you do have to pay to look round which I think was about £6-7 each. It’s the oldest house in Conwy and I think was one of the first houses ever built in Conwy. It’s over 800 years old and they’ve created a different era in each room so it was very interesting to see how they used to live.

Then we went back to Llandudno and struggled to find a parking space. You might have to drive around for a bit and wait for one, it was extremely busy! We walked down the pier, and went into the arcade at the end for a bit and played some air hockey. Skye beat me 3-1 though. The on our way back we grabbed some doughnuts.

We then went back to our little house and I slept for a bit I think and then we showered and got ready and went for a Pizza Hut. It was right next to Cineworld too so we went and watched Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets which we both really enjoyed!

Then we headed straight to bed because we were shattered, and the next day we got up and started packing away all our things. Skye washed up his dishes and we packed up the car and left. Beth and Bob were the most perfect hosts and we couldn’t recommend staying with them enough!

We then headed back to Llandudno, to the beach we went to on the second day. The sea was out so there were lots of rocks that you could climb on so we spent ages doing that. We just chilled and relaxed for a bit, the weather was lovely again luckily. And then we drove all the way back home.

  We had such an amazing anniversary and we can’t wait to plan our next trip. I hope you guys liked seeing our vlogs because there’s a lot more to come in the future! If you haven’t already check out the previous vlogs from our trip!
