[lanatusnebula]

I wanna draw backgrounds but I am too lazy and inexperienced and my patience is low.

But there seems to be a lot of trends with the backgrounds I'm looking at in detailed works that appeal to me. I don't think I would able to replicate the things others draw since it seems they're taking shortcuts (compensating for simplicity by compacting details into the pieces, using 3d models, using environment brushes like buildings, etc), ones that would end with my art looking really hilarious.

I know it's too late in my life to start thinking about job opportunities and I need to start acting now. But if i could get an art job, I think I'd feel more fulfilled. At the moment that obviously isn't an option. (15 more days I am losing my mind) I keep wanting to make a professional looking portfolio but my art simply is too much leaning towards hobbyist. :/

This looks very mediocre. I know though I could have added some trees but I still struggle with composition.

There are characters sitting on the "bench" but I didn't use a reference so it looks... hm.

This one was really fun an relaxing to do, but the mediocre aspect of it is present here as well. Obviously some shit doesn't make sense because I removed the character layer (that's why there are random shadows), but there's surely gotta be some sort of way for me to improve.

Compositions like this make me feel at peace, but the forefront character's color clashed terribly with it. I need to not be afraid to adjust things in photoshop I think?

These are the only examples I have on hand, which is also a really huge red flag; if I don't have many examples, that means I'm not practicing enough. I could do warmups to draw backgrounds quickly, but the struggle is more in composition and color theory. I don't know how to do those things, despite the large collection of resources and tutorials. It just doesn't click. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. > <;;

I will inevitably have to figure it out. I heard that drawing other peoples' images that are closer to what I want is the ticket, and if i do it enough times it'll come naturally. The process isn't too difficult to grasp but feels morally wrong to start my day like that. But I'm building up a collection of art I admire for composition (withbackgrounds) as a starting point at least.

None of it will be posted obviously but... I hope to have something to show for in a few months.

Big things comin.

"UNTITLED" // 2007 YOSHITOMO NARA 奈良 美智 [coloured pencil on coloured paper | 16 ½ x 11 5/8"]

With her short cropped hair, dark green dress and rebellious energy, the girl in Untitled (2007) emits the youthful defiance that has come to typify works by Yoshitomo Nara. [...]

"He is widely celebrated for his paintings and coloured pencil drawings of juvenile, cartoonish characters with large gazing eyes and endearing personalities. They inhabit imagined and insouciant paper worlds, brandish absurd objects and props—knives, sprouts, cigarettes, and electric guitars—and express a wide range of capricious, childlike emotion. Stern and somewhat sulky, our subject hovers in indeterminate space. She stands upon a Japanese flag with her small feet positioned perfectly over its crimson sun. Emblazoned around her miniature figure are the words ‘Up Yours!’, and, ‘All the Nations!’. As an advocate of peace, questions of nationhood, conflict and world politics weave through Nara’s art in such pithy phrases and symbols. Exhibited at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga—the first show of the artist’s work in Spain in 2007-2008—the present work was one of twenty coloured pencil drawings hung along the final wall of the gallery.

Born in 1959 in Japan’s rural Aomori Prefecture, Nara’s youth was marked by his country’s rapid post-war economic development and an influx of Western pop-culture, from Disney animation to punk and rock and roll. The artist expresses heartfelt nostalgia for the retro media—record-sleeves and comic books—that offered escapism from an otherwise solitary childhood. ‘Of course if you think back to the ’70s,’ he says, ‘information moved very differently. There was no Internet obviously and even the release date of albums in Japan could be delayed as much as six months … I would just sit there, listen to the music, look at the art on the cover and I think I really developed my imagination through that’ (N. Hegert, ‘Interview with Yoshitomo Nara,’ Artslant, 18 September 2010). This sensitivity to the worn, tactile quality of objects is triumphant in his art today and distinguishes him from the likes of Takashi Murakami and his Superflat movement. Untitled bears the enlivening traces of artist’s hand, present in the rough ‘outside-the-line’ scribbles that imply the girl’s messy hair. Bracketed with Nara’s unfiltered, handwritten text, the image feels distinctly personal, like a secret note exchanged between friends.

As early as his time at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts in the 1980s, Nara began to draw onto envelopes, cardboard, and scraps of found paper. He continued these explorations at the prestigious Kunstakademie Düsseldorf where, under the tutorship of German Neo-Expressionist painter A. R. Penck, he was encouraged to work fluidly between painting and drawing. ‘I [loved] to draw every day and the scrawled sketches, never shown to anybody, started piling up’, Nara has said. ‘Like journal entries reflecting the events of each day, they sometimes intersected [with] memories from the past. My little everyday world became a trigger for the imagination, and I learned to develop and capture the imagery that arose’ (Y. Nara, ‘Nobody’s Fool’, in N. Miyamura and S. Suzuki (eds.), Yoshitomo Nara: The Complete Works, Volume 1: Paintings, Sculptures, Editions, Photographs 1984-2010, San Francisco 2011, p. 43). Mischievous, cute, and quietly ferocious, the present work attests to the enduring appeal of Nara’s little rebels." — via Christie's

Greetings!

I’ve been reading Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed by Doreen Valiente and Evan John Jones, which I’ve been enjoying so far! But there has been one thing that I’m a little stuck on and what to know your thoughts and opinions on the subject. While I was reading about the personal working tools or the arte, there is this reference “Because of the fertility aspect of the Old Faith, it is incompatible with nature and with the creation of life that one person can consecrate the wine within the cup.”

So my question (and perhaps concern) is can a lone practitioner not achieve this without a working partner? What if one can’t find another to work with? I’m wanting to get out of the arm chair occultist stage and dive deeper and really start practicing, and this quote got me wondering. I might be looking to into it tbh. What are your thoughts?

Thank you for your time!

I want to preface this by saying that I haven't ready anything but certain excerpts from the work you've mentioned here, and I don't feel that I'm anything near a specialist on the specific strain of modern traditional witchcraft that is often called "Old Craft".

However, I can say that, in my own experience of the Craft—as learned through tutorship, spiritwork, and experimentation alike—I have absolutely been able to achieve works of great power in a solitary context, including acts of consecration. Though, in many ways, I would hardly think of most of my experiences as truly solitary, since I work so closely with numinous entities.

Origins (University AU)

Here's some little backstories I put together for all our faves. Undecided on how I will write Tav for this, but I'm excited nonetheless. (Also it will still be Astarion x Tav bc it's the only way I know how to live but I wanna write more of the other characters)

Astarion Ancunín: A senior studying philosophy in hopes of pursuing a law degree in grad school. Modeling since 16, he's recently rose to fame under a designer called Szarr, along with six other young promising models. While rumors always spread about Szarr and his work, hit piece articles never seem to make it to the news.

Gale Dekarios: After excelling in the arts, Gale has found tutorship under Ms. Mystra, who has found great pleasure in helping him with his thesis project. She noticed him early on in his college career, and the two have become a very powerful pair in the art world, but it seems as though she sees him as way more that a student, always coddling him as her prodigy.

Karlach Cliffgate: Perhaps an odd choice for an esteemed university, Karlach got into school through a wrestling scholarship, and takes her sport very seriously. However, it seems Coach Zariel expects a lot out of her athletes, including some not-so-ethical doping and 'accidentally' injuring other team's wrestlers. However, Karlach has no other options, and can't afford to lose her scholarship.

Wyll Ravenguard: Son of the dean, Wyll is quite an interesting student. Despite having a blood relationship with the dean, the two are never seen talking. Instead, Wyll has taken over the SGA, and works closely with school admin Ms. Mizora, who has started using Wyll's place as SGA president to pull some strings in the university.

Shadowheart: Currently studying biology for her undergrad degree as a junior, Shadowheart is quite in tune with her religious background. Despite growing up with different beliefs, a nearby church has caught her eye, and its leader has promised her the impossible, at the price of suffering.

Lae'zel: After being trained to run in the Olympics since she was young, Lae'zel finds herself injured during her junior year of college, unsure of what to do with her life now. Will she be able to run again, or will the people she's grown up with and admired for so long throw her to the side, leaving her a pent up college student who didn't even really want a degree?

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … December 9

1608 – John Milton, English poet, born (d.1674); No one can say for sure whether Milton was Gay, but the author of Paradise Lost was known to his Cambridge classmates as "the lady of Christ's" and was portrayed as a repressed homosexual in Robert Graves' novel Wife to Mr. Milton.

1717 – Johann Joachim Winckelmann German art historian and archaeologist, born (d.1768); Winckelmann was a pioneering Hellenist who first articulated the difference between Greek, Greco-Roman and Roman art. and "the prophet and founding hero of modern archaeology."

From 1743 to 1748, he was the deputy headmaster of the gymnasium of Seehausen in the Altmark. His means were insufficient: his salary was so low that he had to rely on his students' parents for free meals. He was thus obliged to accept a tutorship near Magdeburg. While tutor for the powerful Lamprecht family, he fell into unrequited love with the handsome Lamprecht son. This was one of a series of such loves throughout his life.His enthusiasm for the male form excited Winckelmann's budding admiration of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and he decided to go to Rome to study. Winckelmann arrived in Rome in November 1755. His first task there was to describe the statues in the Cortile del Belvedere—the Apollo Belvedere, the Laocoön, the so-called Antinous, and the Belvedere Torso—which represented to him the "utmost perfection of ancient sculpture."

Laocoön and His Sons

Originally, Winckelmann planned to stay in Italy only two years, but the outbreak of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) changed his plans. He was named librarian to Cardinal Passionei, who was impressed by Winckelmann's beautiful Greek writing. Winckelmann also became librarian to Cardinal Archinto, and received much kindness from Cardinal Passionei. After their deaths, Winckelmann was hired as librarian in the house of Alessandro Cardinal Albani, who was forming his magnificent collection of antiquities in the villa at Porta Salaria.

With the aid of his new friend and lover, the painter Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-79), with whom he first lived in Rome, Winckelmann devoted himself to the study of Roman antiquities and gradually acquired an unrivalled knowledge of ancient art. Winckelmann's method of careful observation allowed him to identify Roman copies of Greek art, something that was unusual at that time—Roman culture was considered the ultimate achievement of Antiquity. His friend Mengs became the channel through which Winkelmann's ideas were realized in art and spread around Europe.

1904 – Anthony Santasiere (d.1977) was an American chess master and chess writer, who also wrote extensively on non-chess topics. Santasiere was a middle school mathematics teacher by profession. Santasiere won the 1945 U.S. Open Chess Championship, four New York State championships, and six Marshall Chess Club championships. He competed in four U.S. Chess Championships, with his best finish being a tie for third in 1946. He was a chess organizer.

Santasiere, of French and Italian ancestry, was born and raised in New York City, the 12th of 13 children, and grew up in extreme poverty. He graduated from City College with a degree in mathematics. His studies there were financed by Alrick Man, a wealthy chess enthusiast who had served as president of the Marshall Chess Club. Santasiere represented CCNY in intercollegiate chess. Following graduation, beginning in 1927, Santasiere taught mathematics at the Angelo Patri Middle School in the Bronx, and held that position until he retired to south Florida in 1965.

Santasiere wrote extensively on chess in the magazine American Chess Bulletin, from 1930 to 1963; he served as Games Editor, working with Editor Hermann Helms. The chess opening Santasiere's Folly (1.Nf3 d5 2.b4), was originated and developed by him, and is named for him. Santasiere was also an expert in the Reti Opening, the King's Gambit, and the Vienna Game.

He was an enthusiastic amateur painter, painting over 400 oil paintings, and a prolific poet and creative writer on non-chess topics. He played piano, and was a keen chef who frequently hosted dinner parties. He organized many small-size Master events in his apartment in New York.

In 1965, he retired to south Florida, where he continued to play tournament chess for a while, and won several local tournaments. A gay man, he lived with a younger man, Hector; friend Arnold Denker recalls a loving but turbulent relationship between those two, characterizing them as "Felix and Oscar". On his death Santasiere left his estate to his partner.

1959 – Mario Cantone is an American stand-up comedian, writer and actor, with numerous appearances on Comedy Central including Chappelle's Show. He also played Anthony Marentino on Sex and the City. His unique style is fast-paced and energetic, with much of the humor coming from his impersonations of various characters ranging from his family members, to celebrities, to stereotypes. Cantone was born in Stoneham, Massachusetts.

He occasionally does stand-up concerts where, in addition to impressions of Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Bruce Springsteen, and others, he sings original comedic songs such as "Laugh Whore" and an ode to being in love with a bat. Much of his comedy derives from the fact that he is gay, camp, and Italian-American. Cantone's breakout role was that of Charlotte York's gay and incredibly bossy wedding planner in the series Sex and the City on HBO. Much of the humor of that role derived from his regular stand-up persona.

In October 2011, Cantone married his partner of 20 years, musical theater director Jerry Dixon. Ironically, the ceremony was officiated by pastor Jay Bakker, son of Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker.

1975 – Reporter Lynn Rosellini of the Washington Star began a series of articles about homosexuality in sports, which said "some of the biggest names in football are homosexual or bisexual."

1985 – The New York City Department of Health closes the New St. Marks Baths. The New St. Marks Baths was a gay bathhouse at 6 St. Marks Place in the East Village of Manhattan, New York City from 1979 to 1985. It claimed to be the largest gay bath house in the world. The Saint Marks Baths opened in the location in 1913. Through the 1950s it operated as a Turkish bath catering to immigrants on New York’s Lower East Side. In the 1950s it began to have a homosexual clientele at night. In the 1960s it became exclusively gay. On December 9, 1985 the City began the process of closing the baths.

2005 – "Brokeback Mountain" is released to limited audiences in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The film, a neo-American western romantic drama directed by Ang Lee, focuses on a love story between two men that stretches over decades, and survives in a time and place in which the two men’s feelings for each other were utterly taboo. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, and goes on to win several Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards.

Older portrait drawing of Jeele, but i had to dust it off a little bit, because he deserves a little extra lore I made up for him - aaaand actually still trying to figure him out, but I'm getting there :D So, ahem, so far:

- Jeele is an aeterna illusionist, who has dabbled into some "illegal" practices in his youth to be able to finance his arcane studies in Ertorath. However, university regulations prohibited any contact or activity with the Ertorath Black Market - (where he spent his freetime with various practices as a trainee/errand boy under the tutorship of a "Voidmaster". (This was sort of a slang on the BM for any expert, who has offered services with the wide range of arcane arts - forbidden or otherwise)

ANYWAY, there came a point, where Jeele's double-life became non-sustainable - in the 4th semester, a rival student got wind of his connections with the Black Market, reported it, and after a brief trial, Jeele got expelled. -When the war broke out and the recruitment of capable arcanists began, he, as a pacifist, decided to flee (as many of the residents did), and start a new life in the far continent of Nehrim. -As one of the very few survivors of the "Pure-Aeterna" population scattered across the Vyn, his "magically extended aeterna-lifespan" among the Alemannis and Nords became... somehwat problematic. -This induced the need of a nomadic lifestyle and constant "disguise" - which later gave birth to the idea of a travelling circus of minstrels and stunts, recruited from the "gifted" descendants of Myar***. -In his first few decades on this new land, he continued his studies while scoured ruins and old tombs for arcane secrets, ley lines, runes, crystals ... any source of magical activity or literature in the topic.

-He was able to perform and even experiment with various spells and enchantments within the fields of alchemy, enchanting, light magic, sinistra, (and even dabbled into tribal spiritualism and mild "witchcraft") plus his favourite - illusion. -When the first winds of an organisation against the Light-Born swept through the lands of Nehrim, he politely turned down the request of Merzul to join the Order - twice! -Jeele is a curios, open-minded, knowledge-seeking individual, full of mistery, cryptic word choices and mannerism, his obvious weak spot is lust for knowledge.

I seen art of your sinners and i honestly want to hear more about them, do you have some lore to them, i want to hear more, your art is incredible btw

Whehehf thank you!!! I do have a few ideas on Hallward's background, but the details will need to wait until i've finished reading the reference (portrait of dorian grey) and consolidated what i want to include. I might write it out like a proper fic after that.

-Hallward was once a Carnival weaver in Ring territory who has a regular commission by a Ring Docent (Henry Wotton) but is struggling to get by. One day, they meet Dorian Grey, who was a Nest dweller but got kicked out(details yet to be drafted) and ends up commissioning Hallward to make art for him to submit to the Ring, because he prefers art installations and machinery but that isn't in style at the time. (Since Hallward is a Weaver, said art ends up being embroidery made out of people.) Wotton notices Hallward's handiwork, insists that he bring Dorian under his tutorship because 'something about the work's shallow pureness hints at his potential', and things go wrong from there (details yet to be drafted, but one thing is for sure: a portrait is made of Sybil). Dorian and Hallward become more and more famous and more people flock to them to have the honor of being made 'art' as they continue making portraits out of people, but 1. They start running into artists' blocks and 2. Hallward starts feeling conflicted by both their conscience and the methods they're using (but still views Dorian as too much their savior/way too head over heels for him to actually call it quits). They learn normal, benign painting in the meanwhile.

White Nights Dark Days happens (and both are Docents by then), and *something* happens to Dorian, as he suddenly asks Hallward to help him one last time, and becomes a Ring Maestro by making the titular portrait of Dorian Grey from donated pieces of all the people who helped him or claimed to have helped him, except Hallward (like a mosiac). Of course Hallward is upset about this and makes it clear they want out, but Dorian manages to keep them around by promising them a masterpiece dedicated to them.

The people involved in the painting start coming down with various maladies, and Hallward starts to suspect Dorian. When Dorian invites them to his house to reveal the masterpiece, Hallward investigates the painting... and finds it to be a pseudo-Mountain of Smiling Bodies. Dorian reveals that that is his revenge on the struggles he made to get to where he is (except Hallward's the one actually putting in work), and Hallward tries to confront him but promptly gets their arse kicked. They wake up in a new body (the art Dorian dedicated to them, since he had always preferred art installations and machinery; and with Sybil's upper cranium and appearance no less) halfway across the City, and has been trying to get back to Dorian and destroy the portrait both as penance and to stop him since.

Bashing on Gay Boston Basim

In 2002, early notice reached the NSA that Israel was attempting biotechnology experiments on Massachusetts citizens having used amphetamines nasally; having then been given DXM, through an episode of South Park, designed to court sales majors into the purchase.

Naturally, once David Charlebois was marked on private letters as a Presidential candidate, in 2003, Calvin Williams thought to himself, "I better act fast".

With Calvin's tutorship in UMass-Amherst CI, the undercover cops division, David was given Robutussin, the removal of Calvin from grounds demanded by Andrew Schuck, David Charlebois, and Allison Haimes, refused by Matthew Lennox; a young homosexual, unaware that homosexuals were universally loathed; due to studying the language of Hebrew, intended for racketeers men; boycotts of contraband and sales thereof, a criminal science.

In 2004, after David had accumulated at a B+ at his studies, however graded to a "D" in anthropology for refusing to use calipers on bone identification in the campus labs for the topic and yet performing the identifications correctly (displaying the same memory any campus student has, to have earned a diploma under the Massachusetts system of highschools).

At this point, he informed Matthew Lennox, Calvin Williams' backer, that he had accepted a tour in the CIA, in the War in Iraq; the campus Counter-Rabbinical program.

When Matthew was refused homosexual love, he was enraged, and contacted Jen McDade, for a law informant's tip.

Matthew had believed Jen to be a lesbian, for having short hair and make-out parties with more than one man, however one at a time, disobeying a popular movie called "Chasing Amy" that Matthew believed explained logic to him; Matthew a pedophile, as well as a Rabbi, using films and arts as a model and the same later used by intonated name initials for marriages and insisted alms through the British Empire; his bloodline, Lancasters.

David, had already informed Jen McDade, in 2003, to elect "Charlie Baker", a rig on the elections of New England by removing the liquid assets of Massachusetts families, thanks to tax benefits and social security for the disabled veterans (anyone registering SSI or SSDI, a police informant that had retired inside the mental health system; called "mentally ill", by deliberate trap, of Beacon Hill, to fool military authoritarians, such as the Israeli Defence forces; the identified enemy).

Hence, when Matthew Lennox, attempted to use Mossad agent Ryan Gregson and German National Arab agent Zach Klein, to run David into Brian Monaghan, a KGB Ireland agent, Dave was prepared through Jen McDade on a weather forecast, to survive easily.

Even Maury Tyne stalking the family, on contract hire out of the Vietnam Veterans' branch of the VFW, couldn't stop David from making it to the Campus Mental Health station for undercover officers; his major as a cop, the pre-law, and his specialty in the State Police, History, counter-espionage; told to be a "teacher", to the units identified as enemy, Dr. Jeffrey Lange, now slurred as a Jewish gold counter on 4chan by his face in exact likeness, and his wife turning on him to become an FBI agent; when she heard a paranoid schizophrenia diagnostic, a "climbing kantian" disorder (the CIA), described as "autistic", a Down's Syndrome.  In fact, Amanda's father had served in Vietnam, and was not autistic, otherwise a very smart man.

The level of boot, into Jewish testicles, is sheer sexual ecstasy.

"True mastery over the arts requires patience and fortitude to practice and continue practicing when your results are less than favorable." Klaus stated before giving her a small smirk. "It also helps if you can find the right teachers." The advantages of being able to compel himself the tutorship of some of art's greats were nothing to sneeze at.

"I was wondering who made the paintings," she admitted with genuine curiosity. "The last time I tried to paint it looked like a failed Picasso painting so I haven't really tried since then," she chuckled, having a feeling she should be more on guard with the original hybrid but he seemed like he wasn't on guard as of now

happy valentines day! ! couples i like from 1-4 

[ID: four images of various couples from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. 

image 1: yami bakura leans one arm on marik’s shoulder as marik tilts lazily and holds up his fingers in a peace sign. both are grinning smugly, though bakura more evilly and marik more casually. bakura is colored blue and marik is colored purple, and their colors are bleeding into each other.

image 2: daichi/bastion misawa is standing by judai’s side, a hand behind his back and the other holding a bouquet of flowers. the gesture appears almost shy or secretive. he is winking and hearts are coming off him. judai, meanwhile, stares offscreen in the direction opposite of misawa, his hands in his pockets. daichi is colored yellow while judai is colored red.

image 3: yusei fudo is in his lab coat post-canon. he looks to his left at a small pair of red visors. 

image 4: shark, blushing furiously, holds out a bouquet at arms length to a surprised yuuma. his unoccupied hand is in his pocket, as if trying to be casual, but his posture is tense and stilted.

[95jezzica]

👀 It's getting long so I'm putting it below a 'Read More', but for your further consideration:

Eng as Black Mage, Red Mage, Scholar and previous Archer though he probably never took the step to Bard. Like Urianger he still can't fecking swim. 😂 Tries to become a Summoner but isn't very good at it. 😂 Great Alchemist, but fails as Culnarian.

France as Red Mage and Reaper - his fascination with death has always been an untapped potential and I mean to make use of it. Obviously also maxed out Culnarian.

Canada as Sage and Machinist, though he might also have dabbled into Rogue and pesters Japan to train him into a ninja.

Romania as the Astrologian who can't decide if he should pick up more jobs or not, and may or may not dabble into Summoner as well.

Wales as a Summoner and true Dragoon who rides on the back of his allied dragons into battle. 👀 Can play Scholar in a pinch to keep his family alive, but prefers DPS so he doesn't have to worry as much. The only one in the family with a decent level in Culnarian. xD

Ireland as the Scholar and Bard. 👀

Scotland as the Sage, Dragoon and Machinist. Obviously also picks up Fisher at some point, because godness know this family eats a lot. 😂 xD

Northern Ireland mainly as Paladin, if only because he wants to keep his reckless family alive as they charge into battle - though like the rest of them probably have some of the magic classes like Scholar/Summoner under his belt as well.

Sealand with the Gladiator and Pugilist classes, but who isn't sure if he'd fit as Paladin & Monk.

Wy & Kugelmugel as the young Pictomancers in training. 👀

Norway as the team's White Mage, Summoner & Scholar, potentially also picking up Blue Mage for the challenge it'd give him. Maxed out Fisher, because of course he did, but mainly leaves cooking to Sweden. 😂 xD

Denmark as the Warrior & tank who keeps forgetting to turn on his stance. 😂 Probably also levels up Dragoon as a side for some DPS.

Sweden as the Paladin & tank who actually turns on his stance. No longer has any real interest in fighting, but obviously maxes out all the crafter classes, Botanist and Miner. 👀

Iceland not knowing what he wants, so he starts out as an Archer just to difference himself from the others and picks up Botanist to help Sweden gather resources needed for the crafting. I can also see Iceland pick up Viper later. Is also taught some basic Culnarian by Sweden, because Sweden refuses to have yet another family member who doesn't know how to be a decent cook. 😂 Besides, it gives Iceland a feeling of independency he really enjoys. 👀

Finland, the obvious Gunbreaker & Machinist of the party with a past as Archer as well. Has dabbled into Conjurer and can heal minor stuff in a pinch, but decided he wasn't really interested in the Job. ;)

Ladonia, perfect as a young Sage in training. 👀

China as Astrologian, Monk & Viper. 👀Obviously maxed out Culnarian as well.

Japan as an obvious Samurai, Ninja and Sage with a long-ago past as Scholar he has almost forgotten.

Prussia as the former Paladin who later also becomes a Samurai under Japan's tutorship. 👀

Germany as the Paladin who can't help but to wonder if he truly choose it himself or because it was expected by him from the everyone else. Picks up Armorer, Blacksmith & Goldsmith under Sweden's tutorship. 👀Secretly also teaches himself the art of Sage, asking Japan questions under the guise of becoming a better tank by being given a better understanding of the job. Japan isn't fooled, but understands Germany wants (needs?) it to stay a secret for now.

Veneziano as White Mage and Pictomancer. 👀

Romano as a previous Paladin because of what people expected of him, but eventually abandoning it completely in favor of Bard and Dancer. 🕺🏽 (But also because he lowkey sucked at tanking). 😂 xD

Spain as Warrior & Dancer, also the one who introduced the latter to Romano. 👀 He enjoys both, so he switches between the jobs depending on what's needed and who he's teaming up with.

. . .

[I could give more, but this is getting long, so I will stop here at least for now. As you can probably tell I've thought a lot about this though]. 😂 xD

Hello I am back after having finished and crying about the new expansion for FFXIV and I need friends who like both Hetalia and XIV because I am having many thoughts about Alfred Fucker Jones being the Warrior of Light. Especially now that Tural is a thing.

I would share more but…XIV still has the spoiler embargo…soon…

this took a while, but i’m finally done with a tutorship commission for the wonderful @life-0r-death for his alice madness returns AU!! ^o^ i’m so happy with how this piece turned out.. thank you so much for comissioning me!! ✨🖤
