One troupe I'll never get tired of in this crossover is Danny and co. being more human and alive than whatever human and alive people they're interacting with.
And don't get me wrong they should also be uncanny as hell, but at the same time they're also so very human. And that would be the most unsettling part of it all.
Idk I just love dismantling the xenophobia. They're so obviously not human, except they are also the most human anyone can be.
#idk#just thinking about the description of Lazarus pit demons#how they are gradually 'corupted' by the Lazarus water and 'lose their human appearance'#and how in dp setting the change in appearance of a ghost is often pictured as them embracing and expressing their own self image#without the limitation of a mortal body#like yes the Lazarus pits are supposed to be evil and corrupting in DC canon#but I just itch to question that#because what even is inherent evil?#dpxdc#dcxdp

Obi-Wan, 14, after exactly one explanation of how to shave, in which his eyes were glazed over and he seriously considered a gender change so he could backtrack on this specific puberty and try the other one instead, -he heard Stewjoni periods aren’t that bad and he won’t have to upkeep his face every day, how long does it take to cultivate a beard so he doesn’t have to shave again???- takes the razor from his master, disappears into the bathroom, and then appears in the doorway straight outta Qui-Gon’s worst night terrors -the ones that were real and involved waking up to a Padawan having had a vision while still speaking dead languages and asking for flesh holding JUST SAY HUG YOU LITTLE SHIT- and they stare at each other for like twenty seconds straight without blinking before Qui-Gon’s shoulders sag and he lets out a sigh they’re gonna feel in the force all over this temple for days.
‘Where did your eyebrows go?’
‘They were itchy too.’
#star wars#obi wan kenobi#qui gon jinn#padawan obi wan#was Obi trying to itch without letting go of the razor or did he just decide it was time to go??#he’ll never tell you you can’t waterboard that one outta him#autistic Obi wan#Qui should have been more specific with him#he’s gonna end up getting facial waxes like once a month till he’s old enough to be trusted with sharp objects#feral Obi wan#my sister and I also get itchy eyebrows#also one year I found an eyebrow clipper and spent the next month with .5 eyebrows#and yes that does mean I only had half an eyebrow on one side#and I don’t wear makeup so no I didn’t try to draw one on#this was in HS god idk why teachers didn’t question my life more lol

Post-vacation clarity in the form of... word vomit? Sure!
First: so very lucky. So very fortunate. Grateful. That I FINALLY got to cross off a bucket-list vacation and see some massive trees and beautiful mountains. Everything I could have imagined! And it's definitely worthy of a re-visit, once time has passed and I've recovered financially.
Second: I'm so amused that my slight trepidation regarding the potential for "culture shock" was unwarranted. See, if you're a rather unsocial midwesterner schooled in the ways of "Minnesota Nice" aka Advanced Passive Aggression, you might be worried about venturing into more direct/easygoing/outgoing cultures. I was delighted to take a vacation from blatant pettiness and passive aggression during my time out west. And honestly? I miss it. San Francisco was pretty agreeable, all things considered, and I will make a point to revisit.
Third: I loved taking the train! And at the same time, I'm heartbroken for the way passenger trains have to operate in this shithole country. Please. I just want so many trains. At all hours, in every direction. And, if it's NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE, for assholes to not drag enormous tractor tires onto the tracks. (Fuck you, Utah.)
In conclusion: I'm so happy I went, and now I have to go through my photos while I reluctantly pick up where I left off here. And yes, California, if I can, I absolutely will be back. Thanks for having us.
#April rambles#like I knew I would have a blast but DAMN#it's been a while since I've been genuinely awed by time spent on vacation#and it's a problem because i can feel myself itching to go back#I know it sounds stupid but I'm grateful for how easy it is to interact with other people when in CA#I know it's because you get a lot of tourists but STILL#it was so nice to leave the midwestern bullshit behind FOR ONCE#ohhhhh and the food and the coffee and the scenery aaaaaaa!!!#I know I'm easily impressed so what?#on one hand minnesota is home there's no question about that#but it's nice to know I have a place elsewhere that I will love to visit now and again#amtrak i'm sorry they massacred you#I will ride you again it's not your fault things suck#maybe out to glacier next year?!?!?!#sorry i'm rambling in the tags it's what I do#i just have so MANY strong FEELINGS#psssst Wyrd I will have to visit you next time!!!

The Archeron Sisters, the Artistic Expression of the Self, & the Mating Bond
Throughout ACOTAR, each Archeron sister has three important components coloring their respective stories: an artistic expression of the self, a healing journey aligned with that expression, and an entwining of that expression with their endgame romantic partner. For Feyre, that expression is painting, for Nesta it's music and dance, and for Elain, theoretically, it is baking and gardening.
On the other side, each sister also has a more warlike aspect of the Self, which is embraced throughout the series, and serves as a dichotomy to the "softer" natures of their personalities. For instance, Feyre is well known to be a huntress, and Nesta establishes herself as a Valkyrie/warrior. Elain's more "warlike" side is yet to be explored.
For the purposes of considering how Elain's story will progress, I will be focusing moreso on the artistic expression of the Self as it pertains to her sisters, and how it serves as a sacred tool to strengthen the connection between her sisters and their mates. (I mainly introduced the warlike self to bring up some questions about Elain at the end.) Disclaimer: I am not mentioning ANY ship in relation to Elain here. I just want to put the information out there and let people think on it.
Feyre: Artist/Huntress
Early on in ACOTAR, we learn two things about Feyre: she is a hunter (her "warlike self") and an artist. We learn painting is an important outlet for her which she uses to "brighten" the dark spaces of the Archeron's home. We see her journey with her art blossom, unravel, and come back even stronger. It's such an integral part of her character that Rhy's first introduction to her, after the initial series of random images, was of her hand painting:
"until one of the images was of a hand...This beautiful, human hand. Holding a brush. Painting -- flowers on a table."
Later, in ACOMAF, we know her struggles with PTSD kept her from being able to paint anything, gradually getting inspiration for paintings as the story progresses, until she is finally able to paint something again -- on Rhys.
"I had just painted something. On him. For him. I'd--painted again."
Rhys, despite not being an artist himself, mirrors this action by painting on Feyre before they make love after culminating their mating bond:
"he took that hand and traced a circle around my breast, then lower, until he painted a downward arrow beneath my belly button"
So, here we see Rhys, her mate, entwined with her artistic expression of the Self; painting. We can also see how her painting played a major role in her healing and rediscovering herself and self sovereignty.
Nesta: Dancer(Music-Lover)/Warrior
In ACOSF, we learn from Elain that Nesta is a prolific dancer with a seemingly spiritual connection to music:
"(Nesta) was trained in dance from a very young age. She loves it, and music...in the way that performers make an art of it."
"You haven't seen her on the dance floor. That's when Nesta truly lets the wolf roam free. When there's music."
We see glimpses of moments throughout ACOSF when Nesta seeks out music as a respite from her suffering:
"when he'd dragged (Nesta) out of a particular seedy tavern, (she revealed) she had been there for the music"
She even uses musicality to describe her love for Cassian:
“Nesta could have sworn the blade hanging from her belt hummed in answer. As if it liked the sound of his voice as much as she did”
“For it was music between their souls. Always had been. And his voice was her favorite melody.”
Later on, Cassian "(finds) a way for her to have music --always" by gifting her the Symphonia, revealing that he traveled to all of her favorite taverns to record her favorite songs and that he got the musicians in the Hewn City to perform their entire set just for her. Additionally, he learns how to dance for her so they can share a dance in Hewn City, thus entwining himself with both of Nesta's artistic expressions of the Self.
With both Feyre and Nesta, their two "expressions" are present right before an intense moment of connection with their mate. With Feyre and Rhys, they make love in paint after she had a burst of inspiration to paint the entire cabin. With Nesta and Cassian, she is gifted the Symphonia and then they make love after her successful dance-mission in Hewn City. Both females master that part of themselves in some way before the mate steps in to honor that part of their soul, mirroring it back to them in some way, before they deeply connect.
Elain: Baking & Gardening / ???
For Elain, I have a few questions to present for consideration:
We have already seen how baking and gardening has a healing effect on Elain - is this her own artistic expression of the Self? If the beautiful Bread and Roses theory stands, then I would say yes. (I would also say this helps strengthen the Bread & Roses theory, simply because the imagery has now presented itself as something important enough to be noticed by Bryce). I believe to confirm this, we either need her POV to explain her own connection to these things, or someone else's observance of how she makes baking and gardening an artform.
Who in the series is already "entwined" in Elain's love for baking and gardening? (I'm talking powerful imagery, I'm talking shared moments, etc etc.)
What is Elain's dark side? We know she has the moniker of Kingslayer, we know she has Seer abilities; are these aspects of her dark side or is it something else we haven't yet explored? Since each of her sisters has these dualities present, it would only make sense that she has a dualistic nature as well.
How will Elain's baking and gardening continue to contribute to her story, her self sovereignty?
How will it lead to the culmination of her union with her chosen romantic partner? (This is just fun to think about, tbh. How is this going to manifest narratively? Are they making love in a field of flowers? Is she going to be gifted flowers?? The possibilities are endless, and, quite frankly, cute as hell.)
Either way, if we follow the same format as her sisters, we can start to imagine different possibilities for the path that Elain's journey will take. Especially if we look at it through this lens. Personally, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Elain's "warlike" side is, or how that will even manifest itself in a way that is in character for her.
#acotar#elain archeron#the archeron sisters#pro elain archeron#bread and roses theory#i cannot answer any of these questions without showing my bias#so im leaving my answers out for now#but im ITCHING to answer this in relation to my preferred endgame lololol#maybe i'll just make a separate post for her answering my own questions#because ya'll know i've already thought this out LOL

thinking wild and crazy things like “i barely have the bandwidth to write on mobile without formatting right now but is anyone taking icon commissions” because i don’t know. we all deserve a treat sometimes
#1. would provide caps#(from multiple sources perhaps. so it wasn’t like ‘oh him in front of ice? oh him in front of ice?’ for every one)#2. 100x100 super simple styling no border just looking nice!!!#3. you get to name your price and i won’t question it. i can’t do anything or go anywhere right now so let me pay you#4. i might write. with icons. imagine that. it’s still not terribly likely but imagine that. wouldn’t that be fun.#out.#i just get a little sad sometimes not having them. JUST a little. i love writing without them but occasionally there’s that itch.#especially with the dash antics lately it’s like! oh your muses have faces???

Reflections
(not a pr0mpt)
******
“I think I know what your problem is.”
Villain ignored the fact that Hero had snuck in. She was already there- no need wasting breath on how. “I don’t remember having a problem.”
Hero was sat on the windowsill as Villain now noticed. Her feet dangled against the wall, beside the sink. “You try too hard. You feel yourself slipping into a good mood so you destroy yourself for it. Darkness is comfort.”
“Poetic,” Villain remarked.
“I’m serious.”
“As am I.”
Hero sighed from her place in Villain’s home. “Why do you do it?” she asked finally. Villain could tell the question had been weighing on her. All those times she fell behind on his schemes- when she’d look him in the eye, and Villain could see there was something missing. It had been an answer. “What are you trying to prove to yourself?”
“You’re troubled.”
“I’m not,” Hero argued. “You are.” But Villain knew better.
He sat at the kitchen island. Putting an arm out in a welcoming manner, Villain invited Hero to sit, as well.
She shook her head at first. Expected.
“I won’t bite,” Villain assured.
Still, she seemed uncomfortable. Villain didn’t push any further in that regard, but he did say, “Tell me, then.”
"What?"
Villain blew a cold breath against the surface of his coffee before taking a sip. "Tell me what doubts you're having."
With a scoff, Hero kicked her feet against the wall, propelling herself off the windowsill and onto the ground. Her feet landed with a soft thud. She raised a finger but Villain cut her off-
"You're defensive. That means I'm right." He took another long sip of his coffee. Hummed. "Did you expect me to be bothered that you broke in?"
Given her strawberry cheeks, Villain imagined so. He shrugged. It wasn't his problem; he was just making coffee. What could Hero do to stop him?
"Listen," Villain said, "I'm not in the mood for an emotional interrogation, so why don't you sit down and I'll make you a warm mug of coffee."
When she didn't respond, Villain volunteered himself anyway. He stood from the kitchen island and abandoned his mug to pluck another from the cabinet. "French vanilla or caramel macchiato?" he asked, as he then opened the fridge.
"Neither?"
"You drink your coffee black?" Villain wasn't sure why this made him smile, but it did.
"If it's not a dark roast, yes."
"It's light."
She nodded. "Then nothing in it. Please. Uh- thank you."
"That means you'll have a cup with me?"
Hero nodded. When Villain placed the mug in front of her, she watched the steam rising from it- considered it as if it were poisoned straight from the pot. "Villain?" she said, and swallowed. "I have something to tell you."
#not a pr0mpt#Reflections#hero x villain#hero x villain story#hero x villain snippet#hero x villain drabble#heroes and villains#hero#villain#guys#i've been writing this one for several days.#my eyes are swollen. they burn. they itch.#my nose is stuffy and simultaneously runny. pouring snot the consistency of water.#my ears have so much pressure in them that it defies the ability of every god i've ever known.#ms sandy told me to pour peroxide down my ears. that will clear it all away she said.#but that scares me.#liquid? in my ears? ah? that just sounds like a no no. not to mention- i has no peroxide at work. and even if we did- i don't think they#would be okay with me using it to pour it down my ear holes. i feel like they would question that#anyway. i almost made an inside joke in this story. when villain asked hero what creamer she wanted- i almost said butter.#why did you almost say butter dee?#because my pappaw used to use butter as a creamer for his coffee.#he also fed one of the cats butter on a nightly basis. that cat's fur was ridiculously soft.

5, 9 and 16 for that artist ask meme!
5. favorite little detail in a drawing you did
this one was kind of hard to answer because i lean so much more to simplification over 1:1 detail... that said, i really loved these ones!
the bag from the top photo is from here, minato nui on left is from some con-related draws, the ballpoint splatling on right is from a vintage draws compilation!
i just really enjoy drawing little objects and props, and as much as i'm allergic to backgrounds, i hope to overcome that next year because my friends know i love getting obsessed over random objects for a few days...
9. any new art mediums youve tried (or overall styles if you havent tried new mediums)
i haven't gotten to do much mediums outside of digital art unfortunately.... but i would say this year was the year of chibification! i turned so many characters into little guys this year (shoutout to the nui tree!). which is really ironic because i also realized this year i find full illustrations more satisfying to work on throughout the process, despite the "simplicity" of chibis.
i did some limited color styles too! (blue, purple, and red + b/w). hopefully i can do more deliberate color palette stuffs though. i think it'd be a great exercise.
stylistically wise i think i could've tried more, but. its ok! thats what 2024 is for. yipee!
16. favorite piece of art from someone else (if you have one)
it feels like a cop out answer to say this but any gift art i got of my splatoon character... LOL... i didn't expect to get so attached to him (i changed my name in game to minatoast a JOKE!!!!). um. drops this gallery link here and scuttles away. im so very grateful. you're telling me people actually took time out of their day to draw my little guy? incredible!
ocs aside, i'd like to take the time to highlight some art from people on twitter (kitaro havers rise up!), since i do consider the things i reblog to be art i'm very fond of...
this art from tin of ryomina with flowers is so. oh my god. i was SO BEWILDERED AND HAPPY!!! i was minding my own business and then saw this rt'd on one of my friend's pages... i forget who lol but i was like "WAIT TIN Kick_TheeCan DREW RYOMINA??? I LOVE THEIR ART OF THE P3 PROTAG WHAT." i feel like i got pushed down a staircase in tartarus (positive)
and this art from chris (str3wberryy), my god, the composition fucks severely. i want to eat it. he also has an alt account on twitter (@/makotoyukilover) if you want to see more of their p3 protag arts :D
i also enjoyed seeing p3 arts from yamad_125, BSZZOWL, and elulit2. im so serious if you like ryominaigis you'll probably like taking a gander at these artist's media tabs! i find my way to see the twitter arts one way or another, nothing can stop me 👁👄👁
#lizzy askbox#RAAH IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED QUESTION 16!!!#i am filled with love for artists. and similarly to the question of what styles you take inspiration from#it was really hard to not write a text wall or link multiple..#but i've been itching to outlet somewhere how much i adore some of the art i see on twitter...#like ik i can just log into my acc again but the idea of being perceived on twt makes me antsy so i just dont#i literally vibrate in place and shake back and forth and quake whenever i see art. sometimes it occupies my brain for HOURS like. wow...#i want to draw like you... or.... wow.. it's so clear to me that you really love what you draw / that you're putting in time to practice...#and i know i linked p3 mostly but sometimes i see peoples portfolios for visdev and i go GODDAMN IM IN LOVE WITH YOU WHAT DID U STUDY#anyway... thank you again! this is so fun. my appreciation for 2023 is going up from this hehe

The monkey chatters sharply. Marisa glares. Hateful creatures, both of them, she thinks, like broken mirrors only capable of showing the worst parts. Their worst parts have grown wild in isolation, clashing all the time. Following an impulse, she holds his gaze, then sinks to her knees, leans forward – then, after a moment of consideration, growls. Her upper lip curls to show teeth. Vocal cords strain dangerously. A menacing grumble is rolling somewhere so deep in her throat she didn't know a sound like that could be produced. Her daemon drops to all fours and mirrors the note, prowling toward her. Golden fur on his neck bristles, he even paws at the ground a couple of times as if aiming for a blow. He wouldn't dare, and neither would she, but both feel rabid for wanting to. Snarling, they inch the distance between them and stare at each other, face to face – repulsive, repulsed, and ugly.
Marisa x daemon + exiled together, in wait of a trial after Edward's death.
#whatever i got angsty#and still trying to wrap up the masriel trial fic#so im gonna post random excerpts with questionable gifs sometimes#just to let it out & stop obsessing over every word#i have a few chapters ready so i'm itching to share#but can't finish the last one to post the whole damn thing#ughhhhh#marisa x daemon#marisa coulter#golden monkey#hdm#his dark materials#hdm fic

what are some your hc’s for tedtrent!! go crazy please!! :))
oh man oh man i know i have a whole bunch of them that i cannot for the life of me remember on the top of my head rn, which is why this ask is taking so long for me to answer but HMM...
i know that people like to make Trent out to be this, experienced Elder Gay type of guy but in my heart i know he's just as inexperienced to it as Ted (who, in my head, is bisexual, recently found out during his time in london or during the amsterdam episode even) and they're just two people falling in love in the most "I don't know how to do this, but I want to atleast try" way and at times get soo so so overwhelmed that someone loves them as much as they love the other. maybe their communication is absolute shit, maybe Trent doesn't even realize they're on their 3rd date and thought it was something similar to the indian restaurant where Ted just brought him along for dinner, i just think it could all be very silly, very intimate, just all around driving me up the damn walls!!!!!
oh also Trent absolutely hates Ted's whole, open jar peanut butter left on the counter for him to dip his finger into, thing. wishes daily that Ted would just use a darn spoon like a normal person 😭
#pn.ask#i wish i could go on and on and on because i have SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM but everytime im faced with this type of question my thoughts#blanks out so bad. i might probably go back to this to add more though if i thought about it enough <3#like very silly headcanons like ted absolutely adores trent's daughter and brings her sweets (which trent loathes because crimmlet would#be bouncing off the walls for the next 3 hours) is just a (head)canon that most people already Have which i love too so i dont really want#to repeat what others are already saying LOL#if you go back to asks ive answered similar to this one i probably left similar ramblings like this in the tags... i know im def just#repeating myself because this One Thing of tedtrent being unexperienced but wanting it to work just itches my brain SO MUCH#something something higgins' whole. ''If you're with the right person. even the hard times are easy.'' thing. AGGGHH!!!!!!#I WANT IT I JUST WANT IT SO BAD!!!! RAAAAHHHHH

You know how I said I couldn't stop thinking about the Landgraab family a few days ago? Yeahhhhhh I'm still thinking about them to the point that they're starting to look and sound less like sims and more like real people in my mind. For example: Owen Wilson is playing the role of Geoffrey Landgraab in my little brain movie!! FUN!
Anyway I've definitely hit the brainrot point, there's no going back for me. Remember me as I was 😔✌
#Maybe I just need to stop all my important tasks and make over the whole family#and maybe infodump the headcanons I've made for them#They're not even my favorite premades and yet thinking about them is scratching an itch#like mentally it's giving me serotonin boosts to think of scenarios to put them in RIP???#anyway that's all. TLDR feel free to ask me questions about the Landgraabs 👀

the temptation to just say “fuck it” and go w my coworker to oktoberfest
#however 1) that would be expensive af 2) i would have to have quit by then which is not doable#and also most importantly even though we’re good friends he is still my ex and that’d just be cruel so that’s out of the question#will simply live vicariously through texts#you can tell i’m feeling trapped and full of existential dread when i start daydreaming and halfway planning shit like these#we have progressed beyond zillow doomscrolling and started applying to jobs abroad again to scratch the itch 😔
