[spotsupstuff]

HMM maybe classic ol moon and pebbles and the vanilla sibs (monk, survivor) for rw requests? You have no idea how excited i was to see someone else point out the possible parallels/symbolism between the 2 pairs of siblings when you made the post abt them ... either that or daszombes "iterator logs" characters, if youve seen it!

i am SO sorry for how long this took me to get to, holy shit, but ouhg yesssssss the sibling parallels are SO -punches wall- GOOD. are they speakin to the slugs? are they speaking to the wind, hoping it will carry their words all the way to the other? nobody will tell, nobody shall know

[givemea-dam-break]

Hello! I have read some of your fics and you are an amazing writer, I love your works, and since I saw you have request open for my current hyperfixation, I wanted to ask for some jealous Anthony Lockwood , thank you :)

a/n: yesssssss thank you i would absolutely love to write this! I'm so, so glad you like my writing! thank you for all your support <3

warnings: mild language gn reader

"Who are those flowers for?"

You look up from your book, curled up on the sofa in the living room, watching as Lockwood strides in. Something in your chest leaps at the sight of him, longing to watch his usual routine of pacing, then sitting and reading a magazine, but you fix your gaze back on the book in your lap. You've just started a particularly interesting chapter.

"Me."

There's a pause and a glimmer of tension in the air. "From who?"

"Ned Shaw."

Lockwood scoffs, and when you look up again, he's sitting, glaring at the cluster of roses stuffed in some random vase you found in one of the cupboards. They're a bright, blinding red on the window, bathed in golden sunlight.

"Why?"

You suppress a smile. "You're just full of questions today, aren't you? Well, judging from the little note that came with them, he wants me to go to the Fittes at Fifty ball with him tonight and thought the roses would be a symbol of his good intentions."

Lockwood scowls. "Ned Shaw? Of all people, Ned Shaw?"

"We've talked a few times," you say with a shrug. "Not always willingly. I've bitten his head off already for how he treats you guys. But, behind all the grumpiness, he's actually an alright guy."

"And he asked you to the Fittes ball?" He's still staring at the flowers, and it seems as if he's trying to burn them with sight alone. It takes all your willpower not to laugh.

"Yeah, is that so surprising?"

"No, but..."

"But what?"

He sighs through his nose. He seems mostly at ease, except for his expression, but there's something more to it than the rivalry between Lockwood and Co and Fittes. Ned Shaw is part of Kipps' crew, and, sure, he's not the nicest guy ever, but he's saved your life a few times and you've caught up over coffee once or twice. It's not like you're interested in him. You're quite caught up over someone else entirely.

"And, so what if I said yes?" you ask, pretending that your focus is still on your book. Really, you're watching Lockwood out of the corner of your eye, or admiring him as Lucy would put it. "No one else asked me."

"You're going with us, aren't you?"

"If I didn't know you any better, I'd assume that's jealousy in your voice, Anthony Lockwood." Grinning, you glance up from your book.

Lockwood scoffs again. "Jealous? Of Ned Shaw? There's nothing to be jealous about."

"Well, he did pay for me at Arif's yesterday when I was getting some snacks. Awfully kind of him, don't you think?" You turn to the next page of your book. "He bought me this, too. Heard I was into this genre and thought of me when he saw it."

"Bullshit. You don't read that genre at all."

You raise your eyebrow, gently shutting the book. "And what makes you say that?"

Lockwood leans forward, his infamous 'Lockwood Grin' making its appearance. "You don't read anything by that author in particular because, in your words, he's a 'misogynistic prick who has never seen a woman in his life'. You don't read that genre because it reminds you too much of real life when in reality you want to escape it." He points over to the windowsill. "Those flowers? You prefer orchids over roses, a fact you've made clear before, and you think that red roses in particular, such as those ones, are overrated. You like orange ones more."

Speechless. He's left you completely and utterly speechless, and he knows it because his grin is triumphant.

How does he know all of that? They've never been topics of conversation, merely things you've said in passing, but he's remembered it all. Your cheeks flush, and your smile becomes more shy and subdued. None of it is even that interesting, but he's gone out of his way to remember it.

"What do you suggest I do, then?" you ask, trying to keep your elation hidden.

"Don't go with him."

"Who do I go with then?"

He knows it's a leading question, you can see it in his eyes and the way his smile softens slightly at the corners. "Me."

Internally, your brain is throwing a party. Fireworks and confetti cannons are going off, a disco ball is flashing a rainbow of colours, and your heart is dancing along to some music, but you make sure to keep your face as casual as possible. That proves to be harder than you thought.

"Oh, is that so?"

There's something in those dark eyes of his that has butterflies swarming in your stomach. "Yes. I think I'm a much better dance partner than Ned Shaw."

"Who says we'll be dancing?" you say. "We've got a job to do tonight. I'm sure we'll be far too busy."

"I'll make time."

And now he's done it. Your breath catches in your throat, and a smile plays on your lips as you look away from Lockwood. You can feel his gaze on your face, still, and you feel all giddy and mushy inside. When you turn your eyes back, he's still watching you, studying your face intently, and you find yourself doing the same - enjoying tracing your eyes over the shape of his face, the neatness of his hair, the green tie he fiddles with the end of. The only sign of his emotions behind that bright, cocky smile.

"I was never going to go with Ned," you admit, your eyes firmly locked in place with his. "I already declined his offer."

"You did?" You don't miss the relief in his tone.

"Mm-hm. Told him about the roses, too. And, really, this book isn't that great. Quite naff, if I'm being honest. There is no way this man has ever seen a woman. I mean, seriously, in what world is this good writing?"

Lockwood laughs, and you wish you could record the sound and put it on repeat to use it as some sort of painkiller. You find yourself laughing, too. You feel at ease with Lockwood, comfortable just sitting with him. It would be a content life just relaxing here, curled up on the sofa, with him for the rest of your life, laughing and talking.

"So, I know I haven't bought you flowers, or a book, or anything, but will you be my date to the ball?" Lockwood asks.

It sounds a bit like a line from some fairytale, enough to make you laugh softly.

"I will, Lockwood. But, I have one request."

His smile is so radiant it lights up the whole room. "And that is?"

"Don't kill Ned."

"Ah, well, no promises."

[pastafossa]

Pasta you are an absolute menace…I just figured out where you got Jane Hind from.

The third labor of Heracles: capturing the Ceryneian hind aka a deer that was hunted by him for over a year

“I am definitely not a hound I am instead an animal of prey”

I am not worried you are going to use more events from the story later

(Im kind of embarrassed I didn’t pick it up sooner considering I’m a classics major)

FUCK YESSSSSSS!

Like, I adore Greek Mythology and the classics, and I grew up watching Xena, Hercules, and also hunting down every last Greek and Roman Mythology text my tiny hungry Pasta hands could reach, and so the Hind from the labors absolutely played into it. Her (false) name in my initial drafts and outline was originally just, 'Jane Doe', a placeholder I would swap out a different name for later. But I got used to Jane, and then went, '...wait a fucking SECOND, I know another word for Doe!' Jane Doe -> Jane Hind.

Hind = Doe.

And so her name is symbolic with multiple layers.

Jane Hind is a variation of Jane Doe, aka: no name known, an unidentified person. This was her intent as a joke when she chose it, without really thinking of anything deeper, and so it's absolutely one part pun, but also:

Jane Hind, a play on the Ceryneian Hind, and like you said: 'Definitely no predator here, only prey, *deer noises*' but also a 'Yeah I be runnin from shit and I am FAST and you're gonna have to work to catch me motherfuckers'. She is the trophy that her hunter is searching for, the prey he requires if he wishes to free himself, and at the moment, she is guarded and protected, watched over by the Devil God one who's deemed her sacred. The Evil AU Heracles will have to get around our stand-in Diana if he wants to carry this Hind away. We'll see if he's as successful in Hell's Kitchen as he was in the myth.

Additionally, a little bit of foreshadowing of the myths Ciro taught her (seen again with the story of the Calydonian boar).

I FUCKING LOVE THAT YOU SPOTTED THIS, DO NOT BE SORRY, I RARELY GET TO TALK ABOUT IT.

[justhere4thevibez]

roommates?? 👀

yesssssss!!!!!! This is a lil au i've been cooking up for... gosh, must be over a year now! I've got the basics down, but I'm still trying to get into the groove of it. A college-age Chrissy ends up moving in with Jonathan, Argyle, and Eddie after Jason cheats on her. (Nancy and Eden are co-RAs and Chrissy's friends). Shenaniganry ensues.

Here's a little sneak peek of Chrissy meeting Eddie for the first time:

Nancy rang the doorbell in the way only she could: forceful, no-nonsense, and twice in a row, just to cover all her bases. “Gimme a fucking minute,” an exasperated male voice called out. Oh, god, this was not going to go well. “Swear to fuck, if you’re trying to convert me, I’m gonna make you wish—” The voice died away as the door opened, and when Chrissy dared to peer up at the tall, bare-chested person in front of her, she felt her heart skip a beat for some strange reason. The guy in front of her, rather than looking furious like she’d expected, had a dumbfounded expression on his face. Mostly, though, Chrissy was distracted by the tattoos covering his chest and arms. Symbols, creatures, words—a cascade of colors and shapes formed before her eyes. Beautiful, she thought before his voice brought her back to the present. “You’re… not Mormons,” the guy said, his voice a little strained. “Good to see you, too, Eddie,” Nancy said briskly. “We’re here to look at the room. Chrissy might be interested in renting it out.” “Chrissy,” he repeated dumbly as his eyes traced over her. Then he snapped into action. “Right. Right. Come this way, ladies.”

send me a sneak peek ask!

Saw your tags, shaking your hand so so so hard. As always your taste is immaculate and your brain is huge.

My inability to be normal about the Froakie line (going strong since I was 13 and and only observing the pokémon franchise from the sidelines*) aside, I'm so obsessed with the bond phenomenon as a gimmick because it gives you so many opportunities for tinkering with character design - who the hell wouldn't want to be matchy matchy with their pokémon buddy? Plus there's an angle which I like to explore in my silly little daydreams: how deep does it go? Is it like drifting in Pacific Rim? Can you get telepathy out of it? A bleed-over effect of habits, memories, mannerisms? I have a whole goddamn pokémon journey novelisation of my Y run in my head with the battle bond included because it's just such a fascinating gimmick to tinker with.

(*I watched some of the original anime as a kid, had a brief dalliance with gen 4 games and anime and pokémon ranger, before being grabbed by the fucking throat by a cute little blue bubble froggy in 2013 and gradually dragged into the franchise proper. I only got a 3ds last year (2013-18 were a bit of a wild time for me and 18-22 were uni hell) but I swear to god the moment I opened pokémon Y and found my Froakie buddy looking at me I was fucking done for. So yeah, the Froakie line is, in fact, responsible for me getting into pokémon properly. Late, maybe, but better late than never!)

Given the fact that mechanic-wise it's a third ability, it could be argued to be genetic on the frog's side, but more of a potential/compatibility thing on the human side. If it's genetic, is it a result of higher empathy? Of a slightly less stable genetic makeup or a glitch of the evolution mechanism? How common is it? For all we know it could be more common but dormant, lacking a suitable trainer. According to that one drawing from the anime (ninja village, lore drop about the bond phenomenon) bonded Gren just looks like that (in addition to the Ash-Gren sprite in Sun/Moon retaining these features even away from Ash), so from a Watsonian perspective it seems that anime Gren just happened to meet a kid whose aesthetic matches his bonded form. That said, why not tweak it a bit? Why not see if the phenomenon also manifests in other pokémon? I'm still baffled that there's so little art of bonded trainer and 'mon duo because of all the character customisation you can do. One would think it's a fun idea to make drawing challenges etc of, like designing megas for random pokémon.

Also Gren should've beaten Alain's Charizard but they were saving up Ash's league win for his pen/ultimate seasons and this is a hill I'm ready to kill on. My Gren absolutely demolished Olympia's gym while 10 levels underleveled with just a night slash (not my fault then gen 6 gym leaders are pushovers) so a bonded, sufficiently trained Gren with a (game mechanic) affection boost and buff to water shuriken, a super effective STAB move it has high stats for, should've Deus Ex(yz) Machina'd the lizard into the ground.

Oops, got yapping. Anyways, now you're legally obligated to ramble about your favourite pokémon to me because I like listening to people ramble about their favourite pokémon.

*shakes your hand equally as hard* YESSSSSSS

I have SUCH a massive soft spot for the Pokémon and especially the Pokémon anime

I got X for Christmas when I was like 8 and it was my very first Pokémon game, I knew next to nothing about the game’s mechanics (and embarrassingly didn’t realize that the blue symbol next to my fennekin’s name meant that he was male and not that he was weak to water LMFAO)

(I eventually got better at the game)

(Kind of XD)

I would watch the English dub of the anime on weekends with my younger sister, and we watched the first season or two of XY together

I already knew about Ash Greninja when I started watching XYZ in my first year of middle school, so I was SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED when he appeared for the first time in episode 7

Pokémon XYZ and Ash Greninja then proceeded to take over my life for the next three years

The lore was great the animation was pure action eye candy and I thought it was all so fucking cool

Like. That scene on top of Prism tower?! With Lysandre and the mind control? PURE CINEMA

The first fanfiction I ever wrote was a fic where Greninja returns in Pokémon sun and moon, it’s still out there on the internet somewhere and the writing sure is. Something.

I also revisited X and did a replay of the game with froakie as my starter - I loved him so much

Also YESSS I love thinking about further implications of the bond phenomenon, I was and still kind of am so fascinated by it - I’m a sucker for this sort of power up that’s reliant on two separate characters and their dynamic with each other because of the potential for fun character development and also cool power ups

I love the idea of Ash and Greninja being slightly linked at all times, like occasionally one will feel a slight pulse of emotion from the other or they’ll briefly glimpse what the other is seeing, I’ve seen some fics where they can activate the Bond Phenomenon at any time and anywhere, which oftentimes led to Ash confusing/scaring the shit out of his friends, I saw a tumblr post somewhere about how Ash and Greninja’s mannerisms might leak into each other when the Phenomenon is active, there’s just so much potential in this concept and is it any wonder I was obsessed with it as a kid

SHOOT I ACCIDENTALLY HIT POST LMFAO

But yea POKEMON IS AWESOME AND I’D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SCREAM ABOUT IT WITH YOU POSI XD

Uhhh favorite pokemon - its probably Ceruledge right now, Greninja’s obviously great, and as a kid I loved Pikachu - it’s why my username is what it is lol

Here are some frogs for the road

[writingsofwesteros]

Gods verse! Rhaenys shows her Baratheon blood yesssssss 👏 👏 👏 😲 omg what if when she's queen small folk stop calling her the queen who never was and start calling her the White Hart? A nod to her having the Targaryen silver-white hair, and also a nod to her Baratheon blood, and the whole symbolism of the white hart itself.

Oh that is the hottest thought, I love that nickname !!

[osarina]

🧛/🐉

“Let us raise an army of bastards.” YOOOOO LETS GO

Oh the juxtaposition of Viserys, the king who died old and sick but in the dream was with his brother at bedside, with Aegon, the king who was nearly murdered by his brother who then tortured/threatened him at beside. I’m kind of sick.

Jace and his third consecutive week of pissing me off <3 like mf this was YOUR idea, what the hell is happening 😭😭😭 edit: okay, maybe it WAS Rhaenyra’s idea, but like… Jace still had NO RIGHT talking to her like that alsjdjdjdb the lengths she’s going to to protect her own birthright, there’s no way she wouldn’t do the same for her own heir

The first thought I had when Hugh talked about his backstory was OMG SAERA because I remembered her part in the audiobook haha but I might just be reaching because I love those connections

That shot of Rhaenyra standing in front of Vermithor… HOW MANY LETTERS IN RHAENYRA‼️‼️

Loveeeee Hugh Hammer ahhhhh a blacksmith’s bastard claiming the Bronze Fury??? Duuude I’m sat

Still a criminal amount of screen time for Rhaena this episode… but I hope she’ll at least get the Cannibal 😭😭

Overall, I looooved this episode! It was so much fun!! A lot more dragon content than in previous weeks lol

ONE MORE LEFT?!?! WHAT THE HELL 😨😨😨😭😭😭

OKAYYYYY THIS IS SO LATE + I NEED TO KNOW YOUR OPINION ON THE FINAL EPISODE BC ... well to say it shortly i wasn't happy with it .. it felt a lot like just a trailer for season 3. even tho im happy we're getting a certain character around for longer bc of postponing the battle of the gullet, i wish they had ended the season on it ...

VISERYS AND AEGON ... i saw a tiktok that was comparing them with viserys "my brother hates me" and daemon "i love you", and then aegon "my brother loves me" and aemond "i hate you" AND I WAS JUST ... WEEPS

jace i fear is my my baby :( i was angry at him for having attitude with rhaenyra but truly i adore him so much and it's so clearly that his parentage has been an insecurity haunting him his whole life and now he just feels it's all catching up to him :') altho i wasn't happy about this like plot wise because in the books the dragonseeds were HIS idea, i dont like that they have him against it in the show

YESSSSSSS THE FACT THAT SAERA'S BASTARD CLAIMED JAEHERYS'S DRAGON IS SOOOOOOO ICONIC I WAS ACTUALLY GIGGLING

omg the scene with rhaenyra and vermithor was insane + the scene at the end WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO BAIT AEMOND OUT WAS SO SICK

i fear i think they're replacing nettles with rhaena </3 which i mean, i love rhaena gets more plot but at the same time, nettles was so like... she had a lot of symbolism so im a bit bummed

AND UR OTHER ASK YESSSSS I LOVED OSCAR (?) TULLY PUTTING DAEMON IN HIS PLACE I WAS SO PLEASED TRULY

[kingofthewilderwest]

I think I've waited long enough to answer the tattoo thing.

Dang y'all know me well. XD

I am betatted times four. All my tattoos are related to music and intend to be reminiscent of the music doodles I do when I'm bored (though none of my resulting tattoos are in "my hand"). One of them I designed completely (though the artist tweaked it for the final), another I added some of my own elements, and the other two are pretty stock.

I have a treble clef with several eighth notes behind my left ear, an alto clef on my left ankle, a banjo with flowers and the Foggy Mountain roll on top of my right foot, and a cross combined with a bass clef, a treble clef, and the flute solo from Beethoven's Eroica Movement 4.

I try to infuse huge meaning into my tats. A reference to Foggy Mountain Breakdown was chosen because Earl Scruggs is my greatest music hero, and Foggy Mountain Breakdown was one of two songs that launched interested in bluegrass one fateful night. Foggy Mountain Breakdown sliced through mental fog I was having, and Foggy Mountain Breakdown inspired me to learn banjo. Getting back into bluegrass restarted my burnt-out mind, and I've been in a fantastic forward trajectory since.

The cross is self-explanatory and ties to my Christian faith. The solo from Beethoven's Eroica ties into several of my best memories. It's not just that I love Beethoven. I learned that solo to perform several high school concerts, including one festival (I have great memories of that one involving people I was close to) where we won. (When we listened to the tape of an overly-critical judge's feedback, he was insulting everything until my solo, gave me a compliment, and our entire orchestra erupted into a cheer ROTFLH.) I played the Eroica excerpt to audition into first chair All State Orchestra that year. All State Orchestra is something I never deserved based on my level of comparative skill, and to this day I wonder if they got the tapes mixed up, but it was the best musical experience I've ever had, and it's what sealed the deal to make me decide to be a music major in college.

I wanted to make sure I had all three clefs I use on my body. Treble alone can account for flute. I needed a treble and bass clef for piano (don't forget to love the bass clef, y'all!), and I am a violist, so the alto clef is a tat of great pride, showcasing my "in group". VIOLA GANG!

Three of the four tats have stupid imperfections on them because I rushed the tattoo process, and I knew it even as we were going into it hahaaaa, but that's okay. XD I can claim it's part of the "these represent my doodles" aspect I guess. :P

Do I want more? Yesssssss but with qualifications. I have to have the right spot, and I'm not like my sister where every part of the body is Equal Opportunity Canvas (she's awesome XD). I like a mix of tat and clear skin. I like tattoos that are both easy to cover for professionality purposes, but easy to show off, too. There are tattoos I've thought about or designed, but held off. Almost did a Mass Effect one with the Paragon and Renegade symbols on my hip and designed them to interlock. For the longest time, I've thought about combining a rose, a flute, a viola, and part of the famous Bach cello suite (though in alto clef because it sounds better on viola, don't @ me). (Roses were supposed to be on the banjo tat but Changes - I use roses because that's my name.) Flute solos from Dvorak's Eighth, one of my favorite pieces of all time, which I played in All State on flute and on viola in college, I've also ruminated over. There's also someone I knew in college who had the viola F-holes running along her collar bones and it looked so good that I've since wondered if it's tacky to copy her, and if I really want to worry about covering collar bones or not, because that's more exposed.

No photos rn because I'm at work rotflh and am just responding while I remember to. So yeah! Uh. A tour of a bit about me. XD

[codenamesazanka]

402 notes.

Shigaraki Tomura remains the best and only character ever. 　AFO: Tomura— 　Shigaraki: Fuck off.

"Then in the meanwhile, I'll go to U.A. to kill everyone who hurt me!" Love to see that 'Sky Coffin Death Trap' come back to bite the Heroes in the ass, even in just in a taunting sentence. Because-- if you're trying to save Shigaraki Tomura, why enact a plan called 'Sky Coffin Death Trap'.

The switch to third-person POV narration despite Deku (our first-person narrator for nearly the entire series so far) being right there is strange.

On one hand, I feel the twinge in my heart about him wanting to be a good disciple and continue heeding All Might's instructions. It hits, emotionally. On the other, it just feels like we're going 400 chapters without Deku ever growing from obeying All Might, and this is, it seems, a good and admirable thing, that All Might continues to be above reproach. I guess if the man is about to die, we can be polite and overlook it, but.

It's the same for the flashback during the 'because you're always trying your best' panel, this callback and ungrowth. It's all from Chapter 3. You would think we would get a montage of panels from all across the entire series, of key moments from the past year of Deku's life. Instead, we're trapped in the past, it seems. The pinnacle of Deku's accomplishments noteworthy to All Might at the moment seemingly being Chapter 3. Out of 402 chapters.

"[You can be a Hero without your quirk] Because you're always doing your best. And never gave up your dream." Reading this line, I have been finally able to clear away some frustrations I've been having for a while about the story and about Deku. This isn't about saving people, it's about Deku becoming a Hero by saving a villain that happened to be Shigaraki. This isn't about saving, it's about Deku becoming the greatest Hero. Focus isn't on the victim. It's about Deku being a Hero. His best is asking Muscular two questions and deciding that's enough understanding the villain and there's no hope for the guy; his best is 'the world is shades of grey' when told about extrajudicial government assassinations; his best is barely having a plan to save Shigaraki besides 'I can't ignore your tears' (which would be a bit redundant now that Uraraka used it?). Fair enough. That's his best. That's his Plus Ultra. Can't hold it against him. So that he wants to save Shigaraki not for any principled reason, and definitely not because he has seen and acknowledged and thought deeply about any flaws in the society that failed the villains, but because he has an inkling that he should because he saw a psychic empathy vision of a crying 5-year-old? Sure. And at least on that point he won't give up! Almost admirable.

Maybe he'll save baby AFO though. That might actually impress me.

All Might continue to talk about being a 'Symbol of Peace' while doing the most violent things. Like trying to blow up a kid's neck. I mean, I get why he's doing it. But it's just such a mismatch.

As is, again, this question and answer: 'Can you be a Hero without a quirk? Yes you can! With this support item and incredible violence.'

Kindergartener AFO yesssssss

[riacte]

Hello hi the grip that your Precuremitcraft AU has on my brain is unreal, and now their Cure names are established I will explode if I don't at least attempt to visual-medium-ify them. Here's what I have so far!

Notes:

1) flower bracelets bloom into boxing gloves (or thorny fisticuffs). 2) flower buns. 3) flowerpot belt thing. 4) Tall converse lol. 5) crafting interface stretched into skirt shape.

Stress / Cure Allium is the only one that feels fully finished at this tiny doodly scale... The only thing I'm not 100% about is the flowery braids and also the sneaking feeling that I'm ripping off some other pink Cure I can't think of right now :')

Tried designing the henshin thing too! 5-segment brooch in everyone's outfit (1), becomes a key on a necklace (2) or on a keychain (3) when in civilian form. Also a symbol for each Cure (4)

...Do not look too hard at the third image :') I'm Not happy with how similar the silhouettes are aside from the hair. Also I've been calling False both Cure Diamond and Cure Mineral but there's nothing to show that in her design so far aside from the crystal headpiece :') Cleo / Cure Blaze feels strange but fun, like a weird flaming circus doll thing, I'm considering a baton / ribbon wand as her weapon. The hairstyle is a quick-and-dirty attempt at replicating Cure Aqua's strange loopy high ponytail from Yes 5.

I WILL be drawing more of this because. 🥰🥰🥰 Precuremitcraft...But digitally. So I can mash undo several million times :')

OMGGGGGGG I love EVERYTHING about this like yesssssss you completely get it!!! :DDDDD

THE BRACELETS -> BOXING GLOVES YESSSSSS that's so cool! That detail about the crafting interface is SO NEAT because it both works as a grid texture (?) and also a reference to Minecraft. I love how you incorporate the MC items <3 <3

And I am EATING UP the little symbols 🥺🥺🥺 like yessss that's them <3 giggling and twirling my hair at them. The keychain charms being collectibles is so cute <3 it's like friendship bracelets. Also I fucking love Blaze's dress.

Precuremitcraft my ABSOLUTE BELOVED. You did such a great job with these drawings I am sooooo obsessed <3 <3 <3 thank you so so much for the ask!

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

omg first time i’m sending an ask because i’m just SO gagged rn by the knight!sugu teasers… like what a WAY to start the beginning of your story??? (be prepared for how much i’m gonna scream drool faint over the full story when it comes out… mentally preparing my brain & my fingers)

“a dream of cold metal, dark thickets, iron-scented skin — and a knight. (or… a wolf?)”

- first of all i’m FULLY hooked in i’m FULLY invested. the way you describe things is so beautiful & TRULY just makes me imagine this clearing in this world you created! cold metal, dark thickets, iron-scented skin - cold, imposing, & a bit sinister (my fav 3-piece combo of all time) [and your threes i Love your threes] & WOLF!SUGURU CAN I GET A HELL YEAH… he’s sooo wolf-raven-serpent-fox-panther coded it’s insane i am Obsessed

“wilted sunflowers stumble under their own weight, and dragonflies buzz in a frenzy, manic, driven to hysteria. in the distance you think you hear the shrieking of ravens.”

ew was poorly paced after into the cold i do think that but I think so much of the contention about EW is because people like streamlined, clean, orderly narratives like ShB which had the benefit of being placed in a whole fresh new world where they didn't have to deal with the accumulation of years and years of lore and history. coincidentally HW the former xiv golden child also had a very enclosed and clean narrative because its setting was limited to ishgard and dravania due to our exile. the in betweeners like arr and sb and ew, burdened with having to setup and run with the baton at the same time, were then "all over the place" because they had to tackle the sheer scale of the established world and EW imo suffers especially because they still wanted to make it a story about the wol in particular. i think this is why they had to rely so much on symbolic roles this time around compared to other expacs. but anyways this is why I see complaints that dont make sense to ME like "they shafted the 'main villain' (hermes/fandaniel) and made it seem like they forgot about him" or "zodiark was anticlimatic because he turned out to be a shell who gets murked early and not the big final boss" because I don't really think having clear roles and a clear following of a classic narrative structure is that important to me. those are just completely assumed expectations. to me a villain doesn't have to follow a series of steps in How To Be A Climatic Villain just because they're a villain. i like stories that are just like well this is what happened. LMFAO guy who wants to know what happened to everyone at all times because I'm nosy as shit who fucking loves arr/sb/ew. also frankly I love hydaelyn (the world) of course I prefer we take it slow and get to explore every place fully (rip what's happening to dalmasca) but we are running against the clock I think. there was never an mmo with an infinite lifespan so even if everyone will beat an expac with hammers for making us go to too many places I'll still be like yesssssss TAKE ME THERE
