The Yiling Band Tour!
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#digital art#animation#This was a fun style experiment and a good lesson in 'hey you have less than a week to make this project. You cannot be a perfectionist'.#Right now - posting these slightly upgraded frames is really helping me stay motivated through the learning grind.#But progress is happening! I'm so excited to show it off when it's done!#Someone with a very discerning eye might be able to figure out what I'm doing with just this one frame. I will take the risk.#That aside; I often think about how the nature of cultivators in MDZS's world also entailed knowing about other art forms.#Meaning that Wen Qing and Wen Ning likely were good musicians and artists.#We know WWX is also good in art and music so...really...what was stopping them from forming a band?#Allow me to pitch this AU: Yiling Opera company AU. WWX and the Wen remnants form a performing trope and tour towns and cities.#Not only do they find a way to keep on the move (no home...only the road and the people around you).#But you also get to be in costume - which is a socially appropriate way to always be in disguise.#Yiling Laozu would thus be a character and/or WWX's stage name.#Would he be good at keeping it a secret? Hard to say with WWX! I think it would be a poorly-kept secret at best.#He likes to brag and show off a bit too much. This many would be either the worst or best spy.#Consider the drama of JC losing his mind over his ex-brother becoming a clown. Imagine JC Getting his ass kicked by said clown.#Imagine the delectable secret identity drama potential of Lan Wangji stumbling upon the trope's performances.#We did not get nearly enough of the secret identiy drama in MDZS canon. I need more of it.#I need that man conflicted with his feelings for the same person. I need them playing mind games with each other at all times.

seeing your ZK art with katara's burn scars I imagine zuko kissing her scarred hands 😭 and ofc she kisses his scar too !!!!!!!!

Scar kisses are my everything.
#dema answers#atla#zutara#avatar the last airbender#zuko#atla fanart#prince zuko#atla art#katara#zutara au#zutara fanart#zutara art#katara of the southern water tribe#Yes the kisses are BACK#National Dema AU Kisses Day#For context:#My ask box currently sits at 50+ unanswered asks and most of them are either sketch requests or AU questions that require some deep thinking#So I'm sorry if it seems like I take AGES to answer one of your asks. I haven't forgotten. It's just a lot of content for me to work through#And I want to make sure you all get some quality stuff! The perfectionist in me demands it.#And I'm also working on FTS and Spitfire and my other stuff at the same time so...#Yeah it'll probably take a while to answer some asks#But I'll do my best!

Here is a quote I think of every time I see these pictures. "The rumor since has been that I edged [Stuart Sutcliffe] out of the band, because we certainly did have our difficulties. For me, it was mainly because I didn't think he was a very good musician, which he wasn't, and he admitted it. So, for me, that caused problems, because being a—I mean, you could say being a perfectionist, but actually asking the bass player to play in the same key as us isn't really looking for perfection. It's quite a mild request." — Sir Paul McCartney, The Lyrics podcast, "Michelle," April 10, 2024.


#remember how we cheered when Paul publicly owned the possibility that John wrote Now & Then to him?#I had similar feelings when I heard him refute the 'perfectionist' trope when talking about Stu#it wasn't that#it's not unreasonable to expect your band mates to have an interest in music#also “a pretty mild request” out of Paul's mouth...#is giving me thoughts and feelings#what I want to do is write a story about old man Paul in some state of cathartic rage#both letting go and reclaiming his memories#I guess I'm getting in the mood#paul mccartney#the beatles#stuart sutcliffe#a mild request

My very first death in Legends: Arceus was, well... I wouldn't necessarily call it embarrassing-
#pokemon#pokemon legends arceus#trainer rei#doodles#short comic#the linework for this was almost entirely done on paper btw#which is why it's a bit messier than usual#I'm trying to get out of a perfectionist mindset#and maybe removing the option of easily undoing mistakes will help#also you might've noticed that I started using a watermark#I actually don't like them but also people won't find me from my signature alone so eh

Happy Birthday from some of the friends you made along the way!
Happy Birthday to my favorite Echidna! I honestly haven't been feeling too great lately but I wanted to get something done for his birthday. Everyone else is already drawing him with the main cast, so I decided to draw him with some of his other friends!
#knuckles the echidna#barry the quokka#gadget the wolf#sth#sonic fanart#minturts#fun fact I actually ship Knuckles and Barry quite a bit#I think they're super cute especially after my first playthrough of TMOSTH#I never draw them tho because KNUCKLES IS ALSO SOMEONE I STRUGGLE TO MAKE LOOK A WAY I LIKE#I think with him it's because he's my fave character so I'm super perfectionist about how he looks in my style#trying to work on not being so uptight about it tho because I wuv him and wanna draw him more#also a hang up I get about Sonic and Shadow too but thats because their quills are EVIL!!!!#anyways I ship Knuckles with a lot of people I am multiship friendly I like all the cutes#I am multiship with everyone woooo ALL the cute shit

i imagine that sebastian always had a love for the more dangerous spells - confringo being the first of many that he would teach himself and his friends 🫣
and look! mousey and sebastian getting along, what a rare sight!
#pre-fourth year mousey suffers from terrible haircut syndrome 😞 that's his childhood trauma#ALSO fun fact! the longest part of my drawing process is the sketch. it usually takes about 2-3 hours cause of my perfectionist tendencies#i have finished a lot of pieces (especially milena ones) and just never posted them on here because i'm too critical of my own work 😩😩#it's a struggle#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts legacy fanart#hogwarts legacy art#sebastian sallow#hogwarts legacy oc#mousey mcgregor#slytherin#ravenclaw#back to hogwarts#sparxyvdoodles

There's nothing he can't do. Yet.
(Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll!)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#bonus comic#This whole poll and comic is very inspired by a convo I had with qourmet in one of their art streams.#namely that the Art Of Grilling is a powerful skill separate from cooking.#I've also been inspired by said convo to try and learn how to grill. What's the point of having a garden if I can't grill my summer squash?#Anyways. I hope this appeases the crowd that has been in arms about the prev prev poll.#I don't think teenji can cook. I think lan wangji is just very good at dedicating himself to whatever craft he needs to pick up.#give him a day and he will be a grill dad#the most powerful beast of the summer lawn biome.#Until then he will lie awake at night. Haunted by this inadequacy. He's just like me for real (chronic perfectionist).#I think this is the first domestic wangxian post i've made. God I'm so sorry wangxian fans.#wwx could not care *less* abt lwj having flaws. I think thats the beauty of this relationship. they *know* about each other's flaws FIRST.#Love each people *because* of the flaws - not despite them (thats my unsolicited advice for the day).#also if you noticed my medium gray marker slowly giving out...today it finally died on me....

Fate AU Oneshot
(Got bored, so thought I might have another go at fanfiction. It's been a minute (as always))(Also idk what the term is for a short fic so I'm calling it Oneshot. Uh)(Also also doodled something to go with the fic)
------
“Heya Lucky. You’re… good with all this card-leaf-fortune-telling mumbo-jumbo, aren’t cha..?”
It was the early morning. The very early morning. And Lucky was not expecting guests before the woollen sun had even risen.
“Uhm... I suppose I am? Well, besides the tealeaf reading.” Lucky rubbed his eye in an attempt to see Ox more clearly, who was looking at him with a mixture of confusion and worry. “But did something happen? I know you’re an early bird, but… It’s still dark out.”
“No, no, it’s nothing to worry yourself over! I was only thinking that it would be nice to… to see what the cards have to say, you know?”
Ox was trying to smile his usual smile, but there was a tremor in it like an over-taught wire. Lucky blinked in hesitancy, giving space to let Ox in.
“...Sorry if the reading is a little inaccurate, it is…” Lucky looked back at the clock, “5am, after all.” He shut the door.
“That’s okay, sorry for waking you up so early.”
Lucky shook his head, “I am here when you need me, and you need me now, so, uhm, everything is okay. Now… Where are my cards…”
Lucky searched through the various compartments on the walls, pulling out and shutting drawers, nearly tipping over a vase out of sheer tiredness. Ox observed him with a twinge of guilt. He realised he might be overreacting with his worry, but at the moment, he needed some comfort.
“Ahh, there they are.” Lucky took out a stack of hand-made cards make from crayons. “For a moment there I thought Moxy borrowed them.” He sat on the other side of the table, opposite to Ox, and shuffled the cards in his wings before setting them on the table.
“You may take the top card from the deck.” Lucky said.
Ox squinted a little. “Are you sure this is how cards are read?”
“Hmm…” He shrugged with a nervous look, “I honestly don’t know. This is my own unique method, I guess. Different dolls might do this differently.”
“I see…” He warily takes out a card, reading it out. “Make everyday amazing... Hm... I agree completely, but… This wasn’t what I was looking for.”
“Perhaps take another card if you’re unhappy with the first?”
Ox picks up another card. “Good vibes only…?”
“Another?” Lucky confusedly answered.
“Don’t give up?”
“Hold on, let me look at those cards… Oh! Oh, no, these are not my cards. Moxy must’ve mixed up her positive messages with my cards again.”
Ox chuckled softly, “That really is a good trait of Moxy's; she is always able to see the positive side of things.” He turned the card in his hand, the other side being covered in flowers, hearts, and stars. “I hope no one gets rid of that spark in her.”
“Uh... I’m sorry for the mix-up, Ox...” Lucky squeaked.
“No harm done. It has put me in a better mood.” He gives a small smile. “Well, I best be off now. Sorry to bother you, again.”
“Are you sure? I don’t mind making you some tea…”
“Don’t worry about me, Lucky, I’ll be alright. I hope you have a wonderful day! After some rest, of course.”
Lucky watched as Ox walked down the steps of his home, a stiffness in his posture like he was carrying the weight of the entire factory.
Lucky anxiously bit his lip, torn between concern and curiosity. Ox often spoke vaguely, a tendency that both intrigued and unsettled the uglydoll.
Eventually Ox returned to his home, a deep sigh escaping his mouth as he retrieved the cards he received from Lucky. A small, amused smile tugged at his mouth, yet a flicker of uncertainty lingered in his eye. He placed the cards down gently and switched on the lamp. Pulling open the top drawer, he sifted through various colourful sheets of paper until he found another card. A card adorned with intricate patterns with a gleaming golden border, crescent moons encircling a number: 12. He grimaced at the card, reluctant to flip it over and read the message it held once more. Instead, he put the three hand-made cards on top, closing the draw and sitting down, pressing his hands to his cheeks and letting out a shaky sigh.
#sorry if the characters are inaccurate! i'm just going off of what i remember#uglydolls#fanfiction#uglydolls fate au#udfau#uglydolls ox#uglydolls lucky bat#fanart#i might do more of these. idk. it's easier to write about a story than draw it honestly.. i'm too much of a perfectionist to make a comic a#might also talk about 50s au... perhaps perhaps...#doubt anyone cares but screw it. it's free real estate and NO ONE CAN STOP ME WEEEEEEE

Tenth Lord in Jupiter Nakshatras
Thanks for your patience in waiting for the next part of the series - I’m glad you guys are interested. As always, recorded for my own benefit, published for yours. General disclaimer is in my bio. Credit to KRSchannel for inspiring this post.
Find your 10th lord here, and find your 10th lord’s nakshatra here.
The 10th house rules our life’s honor. It represents the services we perform for society as well as the reputation we earn as a result. It is associated with the father and the career because traditionally, this is where both our standing in society and the role we performed in society would come from - inherited through the father’s family line. However, in our contemporary world, this isn’t always the case, which is why it’s important to know the grander themes at play.
The three Jupiter-ruled nakshatras are Punarvasu, Vishakha, and Purva Bhadrapada.
Jupiter is a planetary object that represents ascension, expansion, and union. It is the aspiration that guides us to our greatest heights, and the intangible whole comprised of all pieces, parts, and individuals. Channeling Jupiter means to take the role of the collective in our capacity as an individual, such as sharing our experiences to better the understanding of others, or discovering, exploring, and sharing universal truths that connect everyone. This is why Jupiter is associated with the partner. Venus is like the practical partner, who represents our own earthly values, but Jupiter is the soulmate, who allows us to ascend beyond the self, uniting physical with spiritual. Jupiter obscures, elevates, and enlightens, offering both afterlife and a life purpose.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR 10TH LORD IN A JUPITER-RULED NAKSHATRA? THAT MEANS YOU…
Audrey Hepburn, Amelia Earhart, and Kendrick Lamar all have their tenth lords in Jupiter ruled nakshatras. Audrey’s is in Punarvasu, Anne’s is in Vishakha, and Kendrick’s is in Purva Bhadrapda.
… AND THE PUBLIC MUTUALLY TEACH, EVOLVE, AND MYTHOLOGIZE ONE ANOTHER.
This placement produces an individual who is not content to engage with either their vocation or their society as a means to an end. These natives rather prefer to approach their public life, and the concept of the public itself often enough, as deeply meaningful and containing a higher purpose. Here you find individuals who shake up their industry by introducing cultures of open-mindedness and experimentation, as often as you find those who pursue their far-flung, lofty legacies at the expense of their health, relationships, privacy, and even life.
Jupiter's fame is more particular to how its influence manifests than to the amount of or method by which it was accrued. Whether you're looking at canon-defining classics, the celebrity of subculture, or the first individual of a certain kind to succeed in this or that field, you're looking at a Jovian native whose legacy serves to teach the public, and expand how the public defines itself. Of course, anyone can push boundaries, but these natives are most likely to be remembered for the barriers they break, and the lessons they taught in the process.
MORE ON THE SPECIFICS OF PUNARVASU, VISHAKHA, AND PURVA BHADRAPADA BELOW!
IF PUNARVASU RULES THE TENTH LORD, YOU…
Sharon Tate, David Beckham, and Halle Berry all have their tenth lords in Punarvasu. Others with this placement are William Shakespeare, Aretha Franklin, Amy Adams, J. M. Barrie, Debbie Harry, Al Gore, Alannis Morisette, Naomi Judd, Stephen King, Tony Curtis, Eddie Murphy, Gisele Bündchen, Werner Herzog, and Courtney Love.
Take public responses to your behavior personally, even finding it difficult to separate your identity from your reputation at first.
Are likely to be known for your professional value on an individual level, as a matter of skill, rather than as a team member or leader.
May benefit from a mentor who takes you under their wing, or may play such a role to new incomers to your field or workplace.
Count on your inborn charm to buoy you through scandal.
Transform your persona with age to appeal to new expectations.
AND YOU MAY FIND…
Travel is an expected part of your job, and public service you perform in foreign places seems to leave a greater impact.
Early on in life, key marriages and romantic partnerships can interfere with your career and social status, or vice versa.
Engaging in social service, partaking in cultural traditions, and organizing society-wide events, is spiritually cleansing, and allows you to reintegrate your public persona and personal identity.
Others imbue you with moral authority you are not prepared to shoulder, potentially leading to unearned imposter syndrome.
A pattern of being publicly linked to 'someone else': a role you have played, a title you've been given, a superior who enhances your image, a teammate who steals your valor, etc.
PUNARVASU is the Star of Renewal. Industries and career types favored are those involving archetypes, exploration, drama, history, innovation, education, spirituality, relationships, care-taking, healing, delivery, narrative, articulation, influence, and transportation.
IF VISHAKHA RULES THE TENTH LORD, YOU…
Anne Hathaway, Usher, and Billy Idol all have their tenth lords in Vishakha. Others with this placement are Dodi Al Fayed, Steven Spielberg, Susan Sarandon, Winston Churchill, Giorgio Armani, Martin Luther, Patti Page, H. G. Wells, Martin Scorsese, Analeigh Tipton, Joel Coen, Megan Mullaly, Richard Strauss, CM Punk, Georgia O'Keefe, John Cleese, Monica Vitti, Ashanti, and Mary, Queen of Scots.
Naturally come to occupy positions of authority in the industries of your mastery, if not through literal rank than socially/morally.
May find yourself successfully introducing a new movement, genre, belief, or idea before it's celebrated by the mainstream.
Are generous in the world of public service, and will leave a legacy of having cared for and striven for the betterment of your society.
Know how to communicate your ideals and philosophies to a wide audience in a professional setting effectively, even artistically.
May be accused of elitism, pretentiousness, or arrogance, even when you try to cultivate an attitude of humility and modesty.
AND YOU MAY FIND…
Your early professional life is beset with competition, or your chosen industry is somehow affected by martial conflicts.
Members of the public will interpret you either as self-indulgent and petty, or as austere and enlightened, with no in-between.
Opportunities for romance are plentiful for you in social and legal settings, but resulting relationships must be extricated from those wider contexts to establish a happy and healthy marriage.
Your boss often partakes in social drinking with his subordinates.
Jealousy is a common theme, whether you have a reputation for being jealous, others are jealous of and threatened by you, etc.
VISHAKHA is the Star of Purpose. Industries and career types favored are those involving research, politics, competition, speech, ideology, agitation, immigration, criticism, trade, exchange, leisure, intoxicants, production, leadership, personal branding, and style.
IF PURVA BHADRAPADA RULES THE TENTH LORD, YOU…
Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Sidney Poitier all have their tenth lords in Purva Bhadrapada. Others with this placement are Kurt Cobain, Laurence Olivier, Michael Jordan, Charles Dickens, Vincent Price, Armie Hammer, Franz Schubert, Gerard Way, John Steinbeck, Kurt Russell, Maya Angelou, Conan O'Brien, Bobby Driscoll, David Tennant, Jay Leno, Rik Mayall, Keri Russell, and OP.
Tempt others into rule-breaking and are tempted in turn by communities and livelihoods that circumvent or defy the law.
Signify a movement or change in social norms within your field.
Use your work to provoke others into changing their core beliefs.
Bring elements of the metaphysical, spiritual, transcendental, and philosophical into a more social and/or practical public setting.
Naturally uncover and grapple with a fundamentally darker side of public life and of the public in general, with too much exposure or attention more likely to pose a real, material risk to your health, security, or even life.
AND YOU MAY FIND…
Your look, attitude, and/or impulses are easily congealed into an image or symbol, one that is powerful but restrictive, and your depths may be shunned by the public or authorities as a result.
Anyone who tries to take a conflict with you public will suffer serious consequences as a result, from either your own ferocity when tested, or organized backlash from others on your behalf.
Introduction through the professional and public sphere makes others magnetically attracted to you; however, those who would already be attracted to you are at risk of becoming obsessive.
The pursuit of a specific career or end-goal, specifically through higher education or founding of a philosophy, actually puts you in contact with more opportunities and generates more success in a totally different field or toward a different goal than you plan for.
One of the most rewarding and effective means by which you can perform public service is through contributions to education and community outreach through mentorship.
PURVA BHADRAPADA is the Burning Pair. Industries and career types favored are those involving ideology, sensuality, speculative genres, music, investigation, nature, spirituality, research, administration, promotion, conflict, subcultures, rhetoric, death, and crime.
HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL. VARIATION IN REQUESTS MEANS WE’RE GOING OUT OF ORDER, BUT WE WILL RETURN TO THE OTHERS LATER. FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE WITH QUESTIONS, THOUGHTS, IDEAS, ETC. THANKS SO MUCH. PART 7 WILL BE FOCUSED ON MERCURY-RULED 10TH LORD NAKSHATRAS! ♡

Missing x August
So, hum, I made a little edit for August. I know he's not exactly at the top of the fandom's sympathies, but what can I do? He's such a tragic character and I like him for that.
[Song: Missing, by Evanescence]
#I can think of only two people besides me who might care#and one of them has already seen it#so I'm basically posting this for one person#lol#also I hesitated a lot#because I'm not really satisfied with it#and I will probably cringe rewatching it in a week from now#(being an insecure and a perfectionist is a terible combo)#so this is also a reminder to myself#that things don't need to be perfect to be enjoyed and shared with others#august horn of årnäs#young royals#yr edit
