there are SO many passages that highlight the spectrum of emotions and tones in the Lymond Chronicles, but one of them is certainly the end of Ch. 4 of Pawn in Frankincense.
We’ve got “however much I try, don’t let me turn you against me” and then the gorgeously-written horror of finding Oonagh. And sandwiched between them is Jerott saying “see you later” to Francis right after agreeing he’s going to be momentarily murdered…
… and then walking into a wall! Beautiful.
#cloud-muffled starlight!#and of course there’s a fountain#shaking hands with everyone who read this the first time and thought at first that it meant that Oonagh was sitting there listening#to these clowns having a touching moment#and one of them (a random guy she met in a bar once) walking into a wall#IF ONLY#pawn in frankincense#lymond#lymond chronicles spoilers#but for real this sequence is probably one of my top two or three for jerott pov at its best#something I#Esoteric Disasters for Gabriel’s Adversaries: the book#and also for gabriel#jerott blyth

“She’s tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me”😤😤😤
(Regency AU with Eloise and Sebastian inspired by my slow trek through Bridgerton these days & @bassicallymaestra ‘s AMAZING regency inspired art😮💨😇🙏)
#I just have a love of big regency dresses what can I say😔🙏#if you haven’t seen them yet this is a study of the GORGEOUS P&P illustrations from the 1890s by Charles Brock#they are all just so spectacular & I stare at them alllllllllll the time wishing I had an ounce of his talent🙏🙏🙏#so I do these studies to pretend even though I change some things😅😅 bc these studies is the best way to improve imo🙏#but I remembered halfway through why I rage quit trying to draw with my fountain pen a year ago😂😂😂#that thing is amazing for writing and I love it like a child#but drawing?! tbh I should have used my drawing ink pen but whatever#I woke up with a hankering to do some crosshatching (which I hate) in an attempt to get over myself#also!!!!!! when Mr Darcy says something like that it’s no wonder Elizabeth jumps at the bit to believe every awful thing she hears about him#it’s like Mr wickham’s dumb stories that nobody else in their right mind would believe#are speaking right to her soul. like OF COURSE that asshole from the assembly would do all of those things😤😤#he called me ugly so OF COURSE he would deny mr wickham his living😤😤#(I don’t blame her I would do the same🤝🤝)#ALSO why tf did he even say that when he’s clearly smitten from the beginning#I’m sure if he knew that she heard him he would simply perish from mortification#well thst is my p&p - inking horror - inspiration rant of the day🙏🙏#(I read p&p at least once a year & it is the only fanfic I really read😅😅😅)#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts legacy fanart#hphl#sebastian sallow#hogwarts legacy mc#hogwarts legacy oc#eloise#eloise babbit#regency au

i’m so sad i dropped my water bottle that was full of green tea and it broke and now i don’t get any green tea or water today and on top of that i need to pick up a bunch of fucking broken glass. if i ever possessed the mandate of heaven i would consider this a sure sign that i had lost it
#well i can take slurps from the drinking fountain#but all things told that will probably get me one cup of water over the course of the day?#not a livable amount#and more importantly my fuckign tea#ryddles

Some portraits of some fancy elves from Gondolin
Ecthelion and Glorfindel deserved some more elaborate designs than my usual, and how can I draw one without the other?
#Ecthelion of the Fountain#Ecthelion#Glorfindel of the Golden Flower#Glorfindel#Silmarillion#Silm#Silm art#the silmarillion#Lord of the Rings#lotr#Tolkien#I just wanted to draw elaborate outfits#Well actually this all started because I own the big flower patterned earrings that Glorfindel is wearing and stared at them for too long#and THEN I wanted to draw elaborate outfits for Glorfindel and Ecthelion ended up there too#And of course I made it fancier with the backgrounds so now my main and art blogs have matching icons#Please excuse the tengwar though if it's inaccurate#It's written in English with tengwar from a particular set of instructions I found in a book a while back!#It should say Lord of the Fountain and Lord of the Golden Flower respectively#What does it say about me that I got bored and learned to write English with tengwar though?#Radj Draws

i've decided to buy myself a Fancy Fountain Pen and am pretty sure i've decided on the model but i'm on the fence between these two colours
#eliot posts#note: they have slightly different nibs in these pics but they all come w the same nib options#and no i cannot get them both#fountain pens (at least the ones with calligraphy nibs like i want) are expensive and that just doesn't make sense for my budget#the purple one feels more wizard and the teal one feels more sea hag. both very good things#i already have a feather quill pen that i use to do my calligraphy at home which of course is very Wizard#so do i continue that vibe on the go with a fountain pen that is ALSO wizard (but less wizard)?#or do i expand my horizons with a pen of a different vibe? sea hag in the streets wizard in the sheets?

ur art is crunchy /pos !!! how do you have the confidence to use stuff that isnt pencil and cant rlly be erased if mistakes are made?
make more mistakes
ACTUAL ANSWER BELOW because it got too long. oops lol
anyway. i wrote “DO IT ON PURPOSE” because when it comes to doing a whole drawing with ONLY a pen- you gotta force your brain get creative- at least practice. in other words- work with what you have. it’s basically like solving a problem every few seconds-
because sometimes my hand eye coordination glitches for a split second. or maybe my hand shook or maybe the line is actually shit looking. but instead of scrapping the thing entirely i gotta to try and make it work. ok so if my line looks like crap here maybe i can make it a Part of the drawing by making everything look messier. OR maybe i can even just. hide it!! by coloring a thicker line along it too!!
you can actually HIDE a LOT of mistakes with a pen without erasing anything. and sometimes the mistakes are part of the art- like when i see the most beautiful art online and i see an uncolored pixel. what matters is your final output not the things you cant change now or mean nothing in the big picture
honestly going from sketch to lines and rendering with a pen is about weight control (like with a pencil- sketching yk) and not beating yourself up. in order to gain the “confidence” you gotta absolutely ANNIHILATE the need for 200% perfection. because theres beauty in a mess.
anyway so. when you get the basic stuff down like “in order to to make less mistakes with pen stuff- make sure youre used to what youre drawing already!!!” or “draw/doodle stupid shit with your pen and make it (pen) a PART of you and not some scary beast (pen)
i think it all stems down to forgiving yourself and just having fun. having fun is always my motto. if you ever go “oh no i made a mistake!!!” imagine me yelling “WHO CAAARRESSS!!!!!!!! (#love #positive)” in your EAR
#deltarune#susie deltarune#myself#ask#susart#GAHH SORRY ITS SO LONG OR SOMETHING#we have chronic ‘if you ask any of us a question ill literally take 5 paragraphs to answer it bc idk detail and context or shit’#ok bye how this helps????#mintyblitz#i would include more of our pen stuff but idk whats worth showing lol#bc we sketch with pens a lot. actually fucking hate sketching with pencils sometimes because ughh#when youre studying fine arts and have 500 black drawings ???? um. yeah. no. i dont want to touch a pencil everr AGAIN!!!!#GOD GRAPHITE EVERYWHERE!!! on my shirt on my FACE!!!#of course we still do painting and drawings with pencils and then line them after#but if im gonna doodle?? yeah. pen#also not to be a pen apologist but when a sketchbook ages the pencils fade#but pens are fucking awesome because water and air wont let it fade away#we actually use waterproof BALLPOINT pens (our fountain pen oviously is not waterproof)#(Not aponsored but buy panda oens theyre so cheap and you can paint watercolor on them girls)#anyway so the worst our penned sketches get is like. a lottle bleeding but thats cool ask in a sketchbook#pencils?? gone. blank canvas.#pencils are great but i need people to understand how convenient oen is#also pen for filling in form?? but can be used to draw? versatile. she can do anything

frog documentation. frogcumentation
I think I mentioned a while back I'd post nibling frog momence after the gift's done given. which happened on the 2nd this month I just forgot lmao. anyways we can do it now. I used the boigameista pattern scaled up to four pieces of A4 print paper and decided to double deck it to a two layer thing, not unlike a pillow, for ease of washin. because it was gonna be gifted to a one year old child
took a long time and made a number of mistakes bc hand sewing makes me worse as a person but this guy was done in time for the birthday occasion and that's what matters. chose non-fuzzy fabrics for it because we live in a dense city in the tropics and from personal experience if I hug something made of fur I would explode. the original plan included felt patterns on its back for bonus textures for baby but that wouldn't stretch well along with the rest of the thing so had to hold that back. eventually we got this
zipper across its ass, the coat type of zipper bc I miscalculated when ordering. but it did have a shape and that's all that matters to me. will be a fun game for the baby to grow up and be severely misinformed about what a frog looks like
happy extremely late birthday to this thing also
#bakuspecial#uhhhh. whats my craft tag. I forgor. update this later#frog plush babeyyyy#I want this thing to last until the heat death of the universe so I felled all the seams down. dont recommend doing this by hand#Im so stubborn lmao I refuse to get a serger I will simply get better at hand sewing instead. damn its taking kinda long#there used to be a Lot more frogs around hanoi. but the lack of clean water ponds and lakes have driven down the population#I live like right at the edge of the city rn tho (will no longer be the case in five years) so there are still a lot of aminals#house robins. skinks. fireflies (!!!!). praying mantises. tree frogs#they love to hang out at the fountain inside the complex right across the street. had to pick em up to return to the fountain#from the hot brick tiled ground a few times#theyre so small. theyre so small....#I miss house geckos they dont show up a lot in our apartment. I wish they would they would love the cockroaches around here#and of course. bc the kind of rice we eat is more short-grained and thus usually not all the way dried like the longer-grained type we have#so many rice weevils. do u know those little fucks do not drown for a Long time#do u know they lay eggs inside the rice grains and that's how u find out ur rice about to become the weevil beverly hill#by washing the rice and seeing hollowed out grains float up. I have become an expert at this.#but I get to see skinks in random bushes so who am I to be pissed about that. skinks rule#this has been baku talks about animals for a mile of tags. thank u for listening#well. its evening and the family wants to go out so that's what we're doin. hope u have a good time too wherever u are#see u this midnight when I reblog every new posts I've made in the last week or so lmao

Some outsiders would think that bathing in the Fountain of Dreams is considered some kind of taboo. However, not only are most Dream Landers fine with you bathing in the water it's actually highly encouraged, as it's believed that bathing would not only help with giving you a good night's sleep, it would also help keep the nightmares away.
There is a small amount of Dream Matter in the Fountain of Dreams, but it's not enough to hurt or corrupt anybody.
#zephyr speaks#headcanons#I'd imagine it'd be another reason why Kirby thought that Dedede was being a selfish ass during Adventure#He probably thought that you weren't supposed to bathe in the water#And of course all Void-Born beings are safe to bathe in the fountain#As I've said the amount of Dream Matter isn't enough to hurt anyone#It's like Chlorine to the Fountain of Dreams if that makes any sense

LOTR modern day edition where the fellowship gets banned from golden corral because it’s the Hobbits first time seeing an all you can eat buffet and. well. they sure ate all they could eat!
#hobbitposting#funfact i along with my whole class have gotten banned from a golden corral before#mainly because who decided to give middle schoolers access to a chocolate fountain of course someone is going to stick their head in it 😭#this kid was a menace though#stuck his head in it and drank from it like a water fountain then argued with the manager about how if he can’t drink from it then calling#it a fountain is “misleading”

Handwriting is really doing wonders for my ability to just put words on the page but I did forget that means I will sometimes run out of ink. Potentially while not at home. Even when I still want to keep writing.
#and unfortunately I refuse to switch my pen even temporarily lmao#listen my fountain pen writes SO nicely okay#this really just means i gotta remember to pack a spare cartridge#i AM gonna switch color tho I had a green cartridge and now i can use PURBLE#i refuse to ever write in a normal color again unless i have to sign government documents sorryyyyh#anyway i guess this means i should do my course readings. I'm pretty caught up on work so

Do you think you can help me find a star wars fic? Qui-gon lives after tpm bc Obi-wan saved him by using all his force. Qgj wakes up mad and will not see Obi-wan or cut his braid bc now Obi-wan is mentally disabled. In the end o66 happens but Obi-wan and anakin die together and Ani doesn't turn to the dark bc he didn't want Obi-wan to hate him, I read it years ago but I can't find it
i feel like i know exactly what fic you're talking about but unfortunately i can't for the life of me remember the title or the author
i've tried every combination of tags and search parameters on ao3 and it's not popping up. i'm starting to suspect the author either deleted their account or turned their works private because there are a handful of other fics i vaguely remember from them and i'm not seeing them in the tags either
unless i'm mixing up authors. i actually might be. it's been a While
#ask#lovely--an0n#it was a genfic that took place from tpm all the way up to the end of rots right??#i think the final scene is in the room of a thousand fountains#if i'm remembering correctly i think this author was one of the few people who wrote a satine i really liked#this is all of course assuming i'm thinking of the right author#i haven't read sw fic in like a year so my memory of sw fics i've bookmarked/read is a bit rusty ):#if you ever do find the fic gimme a heads up!!
