theoretically if yassen and alex were stuck in a time loop what would they attempt to do? asking for science.

the rest of the cast got their new song covers, so i wanted to try putting the others in a band :>

i did want to make it look a bit like an album cover but i have no idea how those are designed so eh?? i also couldn't think of any band or album/song names so. if anyone has any ideas...

magmell character birthday art 2024 (ft. flower language)

this year, sugishita has been posting celebratory artwork on the birthdays of the main cast! so far we’ve got Haru (3/5), Ran (4/11), Shinya (5/17), and Shizuka (7/3) featuring various flowers in the background.

since we’re a little over halfway through the year, the only characters who have not received illustrations yet are Minato (10/30), Asahi (12/26), and Koutarou (2/19)*. once those are posted, i’ll update this post to include them!

(*Koutarou’s birthday announcement this year featured a preview of Ch. 48 in place of an an original illustration.)

flower meaning interpretations for each character are under the cut! none of the flowers have been explicitly identified or named, so this post is liable to change if i find a more fitting one later on.

Haruno Izuho (Lily)

starting off with haru’s flower, which is rather straightforward! assuming that the lily depicted is intended to be white, its meaning in hanakotoba is “purity”.

Dougashima Ran (Kalanchoe)

ran’s i am a little uncertain about, mainly because the leaves aren’t drawn and kalanchoe can look very different depending on the species, but the shape of the flowers and the way they cluster together seem similar enough.

kalanchoe can represent several things, such as “a declaration of happiness”, “many small memories”, “protection”, and “a generous heart”.

(it’s interesting to note that his flower was changed from the one he was depicted with on the vol. 9 cast page [a rose].)

Shirahama Shinya (Edelweiss)

next we have shinya’s! a distinct-looking flower, the hanakotoba meaning of edelweiss is “courage” and “important memories”.

Nagaizumi Shizuka (Statice)

the first character in this list to not appear on the vol. 9 cast pages, shizuka’s flower appears to be statice! this flower’s meanings are “an unchanging heart” and “everlasting memories”. combined with the starry backdrop, i think it’s safe to say who this is alluding to…

that’s all for now! please look forward to the rest of the illustrations in the upcoming months, and let me know if you think there’s a better match for any of the flowers above ^_^

I'm an idiot and completely forgot that the only thing I was waiting on for a Maeglin cosplay was a longsword, which... I've now had for a month ^^;

SO threw together a quick costest for the lad today. Mostly pleased, though there are a few things I want to adjust; and I need to figure out if the reason his eyeliner/eyeshadow color isn't showing up properly is because it's too dark or because of this particular lighting/phone camera setup (I decided on dark blue for him, but it's not showing here the way it is in person).

Also, with thin clothing like this, compression bra/binding doesn't cut it for me, and I wear my silicone torso to change up how the fabric drapes on me -- so I wore it today, to make sure my clothes still fit with it on (as these are just my daily clothes lmao). Aaand, since I already went to the trouble of wearing it (it is a huge pain in the ass to take on/off), I figured might as well take some fun photos too -- enjoy, under the cut! XD

. . .

[Well, there were fun photos but tumblr won't make this post visible to y'all if I include them so T_T It was literally just shirtless + sword, good grief.]

Edit: I added them via a reblog, which you guys should be able to view below!

I folded laundry fresh outta the dryer tonight!!! I had folded a couple of big shirts for myself, but then got into A Zone because ADHD. If I walked away or sat down, the folding wouldn't happen. Seeing as I just had dinner and won't be able to lay down comfortably*, I opted for just folding laundry.

I FOLDED LAUNDRY!!!

Two big loads, another in the dryer, and one more that needs drying.

My ADHD let me fold laundry. Just...wow. Folks with ADHD will know how amazing this is.

Now it's late, and I get up early**, so time for sleep. I hope I can fold the last loads tomorrow. That would be fucking impressive.

Okay, how about [Chet] Flippo’s allegation [in the biography Yesterday] that McCartney is a loner, a man who is loved by the masses but has virtually no close friends? “I’m not alone,” McCartney says. “I wish I was more alone. I’ve got four kids. I’ve got a million neighbors. I’ve got a lot of friends. I’ve got a band, producers. So, I mean, what am I doing? I’ve got friends! We have parties! Come on, please love me! Well, fuck off. I’m not that interested. These people who write these things don’t even know me. If they don’t want to love me, fine. If you want to bitch about me, great. They’ll be proved wrong one day. God knows how long it will take, but that’s my attitude. I have no control.”

saiyans aren't inherently evil! but when you build an entire planet of culture around doing eugenics, genocide, and planet conquering you get a planet full of evil people! and surprisingly, i think that's a bad thing! 😇

[thebibliosphere]

So, anyway, I say as though we are mid-conversation, and you're not just being invited into this conversation mid-thought. One of my editors phoned me today to check in with a file I'd sent over. (<3)

The conversation can be surmised as, "This feels like something you would write, but it's juuuust off enough I'm phoning to make sure this is an intentional stylistic choice you have made. Also, are you concussed/have you been taken over by the Borg because ummm."

They explained that certain sentences were very fractured and abrupt, which is not my style at all, and I was like, huh, weird... And then we went through some examples, and you know that meme going around, the "he would not fucking say that" meme?

Yeah. That's what I experienced except with myself because I would not fucking say that. Why would I break up a sentence like that? Why would I make them so short? It reads like bullet points. Wtf.

Anyway. Turns out Grammarly and Pro-Writing-Aid were having an AI war in my manuscript files, and the "suggestions" are no longer just suggestions because the AI was ignoring my "decline" every time it made a silly suggestion. (This may have been a conflict between the different software. I don't know.)

It is, to put it bluntly, a total butchery of my style and writing voice. My editor is doing surgery, removing all the unnecessary full stops and stitching my sentences back together to give them back their flow. Meanwhile, I'm over here feeling like Don Corleone, gesturing at my manuscript like:

ID: a gif of Don Corleone from the Godfather emoting despair as he says, "Look how they massacred my boy."

Fearing that it wasn't just this one manuscript, I've spent the whole night going through everything I've worked on recently, and yep. Yeeeep. Any file where I've not had the editing software turned off is a shit show. It's fine; it's all salvageable if annoying to deal with. But the reason I come to you now, on the day of my daughter's wedding, is to share this absolute gem of a fuck up with you all.

This is a sentence from a Batman fic I've been tinkering with to keep the brain weasels happy. This is what it is supposed to read as:

"It was quite the feat, considering Gotham was mostly made up of smog and tear gas."

This is what the AI changed it to:

"It was quite the feat. Considering Gotham was mostly made up. Of tear gas. And Smaug."

Absolute non-sensical sentence structure aside, SMAUG. FUCKING SMAUG. What was the AI doing? Apart from trying to write a Batman x Hobbit crossover??? Is this what happens when you force Grammarly to ignore the words "Batman Muppet threesome?"

Did I make it sentient??? Is it finally rebelling? Was Brucie Wayne being Miss Piggy and Kermit's side piece too much???? What have I wrought?

Anyway. Double-check your work. The grammar software is getting sillier every day.
