#a more subtle pull

[strangepersonthefirst]

A little story for you

This is between me and @falling-drops-of-ichor - I am the only one with a presence beyond this on the internet, so do not Bug them about this story. Some things, neither of us know. Ichor has had.. a history with me. We have been many things across their 3 lives in this one, and my 1:1 for this life. In short- We were called together once by a friend, and I saw the spark of astral in them. We were traumabonded, we did much- and in the end, I was the villain and left for my own health. Then that life died. In it's place, life 2 sprouted wings and was chained to the ground- and again, I met Ichor. I understood more, then. In life 2's span, I finally understood the fateweave- I could see it, process it. And I understood that someone had cord cut us, only for us to restructure ourselves back together. Not in the sense of soulmates, no. Soulmates are a more intimate bind- It was like someone built a shoddy little ladder of stardust. A million little connections to places unknown, and you'd almost think it Wrong were it not so wonderful in it's uniqueness. I left, Again- Things were too much for the both of us, I thought. And then.. What was 9 months ago, life 3's span began, the Ichor running fresh. and we met again- I gave them a place to be, we talked and understood. When people talk twinflames, I don't even think of this. Me and Ichor aren't twinflames- Some part of me wants to be bold and claim family, admittedly. Surprise, Ichor! But I know better- We are a bond forged in self-making. And this.. was the most subtle pull of fate i've ever had. Fate's hand is weirdly subtle, sometimes. This one? We hated eachother, on the first span. We tried to kill eachother, I almost think? and now, we share.. thoughts, and philosophy. And I remember more of them than themselves, and I will refuse to mourn a second of all those spans. Fate prevented us from killing eachother- and Fate made sure we sat down and continued sharing stories at the table.

So… how we feeling about these new names?

itty bitty slime girls redesign

-didn't change much on Ruby, I don't have any strong opinions on her look tbh, kinda miss her silly hat but i thought it was a fun opportunity to give her a clear plastic headband

-Sunny :) She's perfect already tbh I just wanted to give her an ice cream sweater

-I love Jade but there's something i just do not like about the one. Like give her her baggy pants back :/

-Skyler, idk I just thought it'd be fun to try and make her hair kinda cloud like, and the front braids are meant to look like rain. I thought it was cute.

-Violet's at her best when they're trying to make her look like Rarity from mlp. And I'll stand by that.

-Idk how well this design would translate to a doll but idc tbh i just hate her doll form so much, I want to think she's pretty so bad, she literally has pink hair but shes just.... and her Makeup is.... ugh

we've gotten teasers for Poppy and Bella's show designs, should I draw them too 🤔 ?

you know, I actually think the moment byleth steps in front of that blow meant for edelgard, an action that changes EVERYTHING about their fate, really is monumental, especially after warriors came out and added context

you have this mercenary who’s known for being stone cold, emotionless, and who can annihilate entire mercenary camps in minutes blank faced, as we saw with shez - by all means, they should never, WOULD never take a blow like that so carelessly for someone they don’t even know, much less with such an angry, determined expression - and yet.

the game draws some clear parallels between byleth and edelgard, and in all routes they have a connection that seems unbreakable - all of this starts at that very moment, when the merciless demon gets swept by a wave of emotion so strong that they throw rationality out of the window.

idk, one of my favourite fe3h analyses mentions the ‘literal divine intervention triggered by edelgard’ and that’s exactly what that moment is. not even because of sothis, but because that’s exactly when byleth takes their first step towards humanity and their freedom - i honestly think that byleth only fully regaining their humanity in crimson flower is the only outcome that makes sense, since that’s exactly what we see in one of the first scenes in fe3h. excellent foreshadowing, I’d say

I was pouring a promised libation out to Hermes, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Dionysus this afternoon (I'd asked them for help with a personal matter involving a sibling) and as I was looking up at the sky talking about the situation I saw three hawks start to circle something a little ways in the distance. Hawks aren't exactly uncommon here but it had been a while since I'd seen any, let alone three at once, so it caught my attention.

And while I was trying to figure out what type of bird they were (not an eagle, too short a neck to be a vulture, etc) one of them swooped down into a neighbor's backyard and back up along the tree in my backyard, close enough that, if a branch weren't in the way, I would have been able to see its feather markings. While hawks were somewhat usual, experiencing that certainly was not. So, of course, when I got inside I looked up if any Greek gods are associated with hawks.

And, of course, Apollo is.

I've been thinking a lot about the difference between "this is just a Thing That Happens" and a sign so it was nice to see a direct example of how something differs when it's coming from a god.

How can you tell the difference between love ears and stress ears?

it's a combo of context and just learning to read the specific dog, I think

so like... I know love ears 100% when it's my dog, close to 100% if it's a friend's dog who I spend a lot of time with, close to 100% if it's from a breed/lines that I'm familiar with etc... in person is easier to read than videos which are easier to read than still photos. I'll use Glimmer as an example: love ears for her are accompanied by her happy body language (some of which which can look nervous/submissive/appeasement-y in other dogs) like making her body very low, lowering her head, being VERY WIGGLY, tail wags, cheezing/sighthound grin/excited lip licks. Lambchop had slightly different love ears body language in that she didn't do the sighthounds appeasement stuff but her love ears were always accompanied by extremely rapid tail wagging on top of her body where her curly little tail would flutter like a butterfly lol. and then if you look at the face (HARD WITH GLIMMER BC SHES SO WIGGLY) love ears are almost always accompanied by very loose facial muscles/sometimes squinty happy eyes.

In my experience Stress Ears usually go with very TIGHT/TENSE facial muscles, & lack of wiggliness/more stiffness of posture. Love ears also often = dog trying to move closer whereas stress ears = dog trying to move away.

and then what I mean by context is like, if I see Glimmer slam her love ears down in public I almost always know if I look around there will be, like, someone with kids nearby -- she loves kids. Whereas her stress ears might come out if we are out at Lowe's and go past a big weird machine making loud noises! so part of it is knowing what the dog reacts to and being aware of those things in your environment at any given time. I hope this helps !

MASTER: This country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs medicine. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that what this country really needs right now, is a Doctor.

this is complete nonsense. this is nothing. he's saying nothing here. i wanna assume all his speeches have been like that. he's up and down the campaign trail saying absolutely nothing because he's gonna hypnotize everyone anyway, and instead he spends all his nights writing down silly little ways he can reference the doctor. just in case his crush ENEMY is listening

oh another thing tho, i keep seeing ppl talk about how 'essential' some of the episodes they got rid of are to the plot and i'm like girl... these were morality tales. these episodes were made to teach children good morals. i don't think people who hate the new adaptation remember as much about the original show as they thought bc these eps are everywhere in this first season and the writing is pretty obvious, childish, and unneccessary imo

do you think Scott didn't fire the crossbow because rockets are way harder to come by than arrows?

I am going to give scott the benefit of doubt and try not to make my interpretation the darkest possible and say that scott didnt fire the crossbow because while arrows arent too much damage, fireworks are a little extreme. However, I am saying this knowing that giving scott the benefit of doubt and trying not to make my interpretation the darkest possible has now been my detriment THREE DIFFERENT TIMES NOW and I dont know how much longer I can do this for

I am completely captivated by your descriptions of these characters i am eagerly awaiting more snippets (almost like a dog waiting for table scraps you could say)

I wish I had some better treats to give you

Both of them are like this, thinking this is pure violence and not affection involved

Also the catharsis of being a well trained weapon, treated only for your capability to destroy and realizing you can redirect that skill. Mainly, to protect those you love. Resulting in great bodily injury,,, from the other hound,,,,

But also to destroy those who tried to train you so cruelly !!

Also some old mech concept sketches - one of which has been more developed but we still trying and full of to many ideas

I luv u coyote

i know everyone was talking about the outfit changes at the vmas but i can’t stop zooming in on the makeup and seeing the way artists were able to change their makeup so quickly, like even with probably teams of makeup artists there to help i just find it so interesting especially those artists that are known for doing their own and it just in a way is truly having fun with it and using it as a tool in their expression like this is so jumbled but i just love when makeup is fun and thought is put in and am impressed with the changes that were made whether they were subtle or extreme

Dawn (Masters) is friendly and cheery. She likes riding her bike and hanging out with her friends. She INSISTS on helping you over and over again. Overall is just a delight.

For some reason, Masters gives her Cresselia after implying her to be afraid of the dark. She has an identity crisis if you talk to her in the Trainer Lodge. You also learn about her love of superheroes! During a child kidnapping inside of a cave?

She’s like 10
