Commonly asked questions

How do I submit songs? Submissions are currently closed. When it opens up again, I'll post a message here stating rules and which specific info I require. If you don't supply that info along with the song, your message will be deleted.

I submitted a song when we were allowed. When will it appear? :) There's waaay over two thousand songs in my askbox. 😅 And I'm very slow at posting submitted songs because it takes an oddly more amount of time and energy than you'd think, that's why it's easier for me to go with the songs I already have. Please have a bit more patience, hopefully it'll be posted soon enough! 💖

I don't like the genres posted recently. 🤷‍♀️ I mean, you can tell me what genres there's a lack of and I'll try put more effort into adding more of them.

I don't like the poll options. 🤷‍♀️

Will there be an "Indifferent" option? No. People bitched and very rudely demanded it when the blog was new and it left a very sour taste. Also we're 250+ songs in, it's kinda meh to add it now, but I definitely understand why you want it because some songs are really hard to define if you feel anything at all about them. (also you know people would just click indifferent to see the results instead of listening to the song lol) If I were to ever add more options, it would be love/hate.

How do I vote on a song if I feel indifferent about it? Indifferent = don't like it ig. 🤷‍♀️ Remember, I'm not asking you if you LOVE!!!!!! the song, or if you want to buy it. Liking can be as good as only a "meh, it's ok / decent enough to run in the background". Disliking can be being indifferent instead of outright hating it, when it's so neutral to you that it doesn't give you any positive feelings. It is only a minute long clip that I'm asking you to form an opinion about after all; you can change your mind either way when you hear the full version. Sometimes songs have to grow on you!

How do you pick the songs used in the polls? Mostly like this:

I have a huge mp3 hoarding archive so the submitted songs are easier for me to pick if they're already in my possession. 😅 Songs that aren't in my collection (tagged as #new to admin :D lol. sometimes i search out songs specifically for the poll that are tagged this as well) requires a bit more effort to download/listen to/edit but i have discovered a couple of great new gems so don't think i don't appreciate them!

How do I search for a specific artist/song that you've posted? All artists are tagged a day or so after the song reveal. Don't forget to use the hashtag symbol when searching or tumblr will give you all sorts of odd results!!!! (or none at all, lol) Please also remember that tumblr finds simple easy tasks extremely difficult, so only search for an artist with the easiest type of spelling, like #beyonce instead of #beyoncé. All artists and songs are added to the Complete Song List once their showdown poll is finished, for a quick search of what's been posted.

The audio quality is too poor for my taste!! 😡 sad </3

This is just for you. 💖

Why are all the songs of such vast variating quality? ....i mean, you didn't think I've bought all the tens of thousands of songs in my music library, did you...? Pirating songs gives you variations of quality, hell even my own cd rips have variations. It's easier to get better quality files now than it was back in the days, kiddos, so yeah some songs in the archives needs to be updated with new files. I have some very ancient mp3's that are in really low sound, that i've instead downloaded newer versions of in better quality for the polls but y'all still give me shit about it because the artist have remastered the track to unrecognition or whatever so there's just no pleasing some people i guess lmao. 😂

Do you like all the songs you've posted? No, lol. All the songs that are in my archive are songs I've at least liked enough once upon a time to save them, even if I'm not actively listening to them much anymore. Everything tagged as #new to admin :D are new songs to me that I may or may not like, regardless if they're submitted or if I've scouted them out myself only for the polls. :) Songs that I hate so much that I can't stand them are very few, and I won't waste time on adding them!

Did you change the song in the poll?? No. Maybe you clicked on the wrong one if I posted them too close together or maybe (most likely) tumblr has screwed something up for you. Some songs don't even show at times because it's tumblr being tumblr, just wait it out for a few minutes and tumblr will eventually remember to play the audio. So far there's only one song that I had to re-upload because tumblr killed the file. I can change the clip to better audio or to another part of the same song, but I never replace it to a different one once it's out there for you to vote on, I don't see the point of doing that.

Why are some polls audio files and other video files? Again: tumblr being tumblr. They won't allow some songs to be uploaded as audio, but using them in videos is ok. I hate the audio-as-video format and it requires even more effort from me so I'm not doing it on purpose. :)

I don't remember if I've heard this song before or not. If you know you've heard it, like if you're a fan or a hater or the song has been constantly played on the radio, you know it. (this is why the phrasing has been changed again in the latest polls) If you don't remember it, or just vaguely, or just a specific tiny part used in a meme/tiktok video, choose first time. The only thing that matters is the yes or no, knowing it or not is just an added fun but don't take it too seriously. :) Look at it sort of like "old fan/casual listener/hater vs new listener".

The part of the song that you posted SUCKS!!!! You should have just posted this one specific famous part for people to vote yes! "don't post the actual song in this song poll" ...................................like, no. not gonna post just the meme-bits or the drops or the whatever. Yeah i saw all the comments how you all clicked dislike on "Out of Touch" because you voted before you got to the chorus 😂 That's an honest opinion about the song lol, because a song is more than just a catchy chorus or a big drop. But yeah, sometimes one verse of a song would've maybe been better to post instead of that other verse, I'm with you on that.

I queued this song to see what it is but it's still stated as being Anonymous for me! Reblogs, drafts and queues will only show you what's there at the time, like a screenshot. It won't update automatically. All your reblogs, drafts and queued posts from when the poll is active will only show up as Anonymous songs. Always go back to the original post to see the song reveal. If the info isn't there, then give me a day or two to update the post because most likely things are too busy irl. 💖

I voted wrong/voted before I recognized the song! Will you change my vote? No, I'm not recounting anything wth. 😅

I'm embarrassed. I like the song but I don't want others to know that I do. I promise you that nobody but you can see how you've voted. Not me or your mutuals. Only you see what you've voted on. It's ok to like bad songs, and it's ok to like good songs by bad people. Don't let others shame you for that.

How do I vote on this cover/remix that was posted instead of the original? If you feel like this version is close to the original that you like, vote yes. If you don't feel like this version does the original song justice, vote no, even if it hurts.

This song that I don't know samples another song that I do know. How do I vote? I don't consider samples being used as being the same song, so pick first time. Unlike covers/remixes, the original song that has been sampled might show up at a later time, if it hasn't already been on here before.

How does so many people not know this song!!? Everyone is not your age/not from your country and your experience is not universal. 🤷‍♀️ That being said, I too get wtf-moments sometimes because some songs really do get wacky results, so, yeah 😂

Have you ever thought about-- Yes.

I demand you give me a rickroll!!!!!! Ask things nicely instead of demanding things from me. (This is the most common demand I've gotten, sigh. Thanks to those of you who have at least asked nicely and/or with a sense of humour!)

Please do a rickroll? It's already been posted in a bonus poll. It might show up in a "real" poll in years from now if this poll blog is still active but as of now it was added to a tumblr meme post where it was better suited.

I'm gonna ignore that submissions are closed and send you song suggestions anyway!!!! They will be deleted because they're not asked for atm. Unless you're the artist. Exceptions can be made in that case. :)

This poll blog doesn't respect my requirement to know who the artists are before I listen to their songs because of my need - that is very important that everyone else needs to acknowledge and follow - to know if a person is of a good moral standing according to my own views!! 😡 There's other poll blogs better suited for you. Not everything online has to be adjusted to fit *your* particular needs. 🤷‍♀️ (YES i've actually gotten this demand way too often. Sigh.)

Why was my reblog hidden from the notes where I spew hatred over an artist?! You are censoring me!!!! Did you mention the artist by name, or other obvious spoilers? Don't post spoilers. 🤷‍♀️

You hid this other comment I made with no spoilers!!!!! Sometimes comments show in dashboard mode but not in app mode and vice versa, or not even in the notifications. Haven't we already established that tumblr finds easy stuff extremely difficult? Also, sometimes you and I don't share an opinion of what a spoiler means. To all of you who have claimed an artist's name isn't a spoiler, yeah it's kind of a big one. As for the artist mentioning their own name or the song title in the song, you only hear that once you listen to the clip. Knowing it before even clicking to play the music is a spoiler.

Why have you turned off replies? I want to say things without reblogging!! I mean 🤷‍♀️ I'm sure you know why. Replies and anons have been turned off from the very beginning. The few times replies actually have been turned on, it's been stated as such and been very temporarily, like when we've discussed music in some post.

Turn on anon!!! I'm to shy to say thing off-anon! I mostly reply to things privately, or this blog would be nothing but q&a. Anons are off for a reason. Abuse and death threats are to be associated with the sender's account for all to see. I'm always nice to nice people so there's no need to worry about sending me questions or tagging me in things. :) 💖

I demand you to-- Pay me. :)

Shut up and take the abuse thrown at you personally because you're just a poll blog! You are aware that the poll blogs on tumblr aren't actually run by bots, right? Don't be an obnoxious twat. (and ughh yes, this too has been said to me several times. Sigh.)

I want you to add this song I want RIGHT NOW and/or i WANT these other options added now! Rich people can always break all the rules, just like irl. Just give me the $$$$ 😘

I don't like this song because I don't understand the language. Please only post English songs. Ok well, I mean, you can always learn other languages. 🤷‍♀️ Just like how I learned English.

If anyone feels targeted by these last questions without me meaning to, I'm sorry. These actually are the most common questions and comments and demands I've gotten in my askbox. Especially when the blog was new and people Demanded Their Rights to have me adjust everything to suit them. Don't feel like you can't state your thoughts in reblogs or in messages because as long as you're not being rude to me, my attitude on some answers isn't targeted at you, only at them. 💖 Remember to just have fun with the polls and hopefully you and/or your mutuals discover new music!

So... I know I'm late...

But yea! I said I was coming back with some stickers and I kept my word! I would've hoped that I could've completed the sheet in like a day but as you can see...that didn't work out

I know I've been a bit MIA lately but burnout sucks. I do have a lot of WIPS I really want to work on but again, it seems that the ProcrastiNation hath struck my feeble mortal brain again.

But anyways:

I headcanon Aroace Mei, just a personal headcanon (disagree if you like) I also like lesbian Mei but thought I'd give some aroace appreciation

Silktea was only given 1 episode but OH BOY did it fuel our wild shipping habits. And I jumped on the bandwagon. It's a reference to that scene in She-Ra where Scorpia tells Catra she 'didn't want to do this' then wraps kitty up in the blankey and cradles her like a wee baby. And Sandy would do that for any friend, I will die on this hill

Saw a fanart where Mk had a pig nose themed pacifier and I just yoinked that idea. The pig hoodie and the pacifier seems like something Tang would do for Pigsy (also to get away with free noodles cause who can say no to that face?~)

Mac showing Wukong the lantern. What can I say, mans' fascinated by them pretty lights. Though our little performer's eyes seem to be straying from the show (^u ')

I know many people have issues with shipping with Nezha and such and I know the two had a rough history but y'know what fans do; they love to make the people who kill each other soulmates (platonic, romantic or otherwise) Even if it wasn't romantic, I still love the idea of them being buddies and just chilling, the danger noodle prince and the angy prince snuggle and watch a movie (mainly from Nezha 2019 but I also saw New Gods and can I just say, I want those two twinks to bicker then kiss awkwardly and I want Yun Xiang to BEAT. HIS. ASS) but in case anyone asks, I do perceive Nezha to be a consenting adult in general outside shipping drama and if the two are adults, it does make my heart squeal when I see these two hold hands and whatnot

HOW COULD I EVER FORGET MY SPICYBOIS, inspired by that one Ponyo kiss scene. I was actually gonna make a bigger piece but then I saw someone do it already in a much better fashion than I ever could and I just gave up on the idea but Ig here, its just like the two cakes mentality and I gave it a go. Hope I could do the concept justice

Have spider queen or scorpion queen ever interacted before? No. But they are both queens and I believe Spider Queen's confidence could rub off on Scorpion Queen and she'd appreciate the company of Spider Queen's children henchmen. Also she give yummy food so lesbian venomqueens for the win

Redraw of that moment with Peng and Azure. I normally detest that bird but these two do get some gears grinding and whatever anyone says. Neither of those two are straight. I'll tell ya that.

Toxicinsanity is another rarepair that had like 1 sec screen time. I don't think they'd ever work out in canon and had virtually no chemistry. I still love all the fluffy ship content I can find of them though and if it ever were to happen. I think the mayor would scare the sh!t out of Syntax

Let's get at least one hetero couple here, Chang'e and Hou'Yi are a couple of favorites ngl, I took most of their outfits from Over the moon cause both of them looked stunning, Chang'e especially. I've seen people ship mah girl with other people and while I do agree it's healthy to move on, in my heart she will always long for Hou'Yi

Also irl, on valentines, my mum took us out for lunch, she treated us to bubble tea and donuts. We walked home so I waited to drink mah drink in my room while I drew and I accidentally finished it all... I'm so sorry mum

f*ck I forgot ironbull. Uhh....I'll draw something later, rn I need to go to bed before I get yelled at...

zoeymau cheebs (click for better quality + transparent pics)

some hcs below ^^ also i love how they complement each other so much GODDD

APHMAU SHALASHASKA

- aphmau shows up at phoenix drop’s doorstep pretty much half dead. no one knows where she came from, and upon waking up she doesn't remember who she is, where she's from, nothing.

- vylad carried her here because he knew that garroth was stationed in phoenix drop and he knew that the village was in dire need of help due to it being lordless; however it doesnt get revealed until way later.

- aphmau gets carried into the guard station which is where she resides for a period of time. zoey, who was visiting phoenix drop at the time (she was a wandering 'merchant' of sorts, looking for a permanent place to stay) feels a weird presence coming from her, not magical but also not normal, and decides to prolong her stay, healing aphmau back to health with garroth's supervision.

- aphmau wakes up and is sooo grateful they took care of her and decides that as payment she’s going to help make this mess of a village better (also she has no memory of anything that happened prior or why she ended up here anyway, so it’s not like she has anywhere else to go.)

- so she fixes up the roads and helps remodel some of the houses (i feel like this version of aphmau is much less princess-like and more handy than canon aph) garroth is very grateful for this

- anyway uh i dont actually have a lot of stuff for her since i find aphmau to be somewhat bland?? ig thats bc aph is meant to be jess for the majority of s1 but yeah uhh that needs to change. this aphmau is more rough around the edges, not afraid to fend for herself and those she cares for, but also very kind and compassionate. also very bubbly at times, but around those she trusts. she’s actually kind of against the idea of having guards follow her around all the time when she first becomes lord (because she believes she can do everything on her own), but later realizes that its much better to have backup bc the world is dangerous tm

- anywayz she grows closer to zoey when she moves into her house. she finds her presence weird at first but quickly gets used to her company, and she finds that waking up to the smell of tea everyday is soothing

- she is often sent out to the woods to gather whatever herbs zoey needs for her magicks. this quickly turns into aphmau trying to find pretty flowers to bring back to her pretty wife as a gesture of love friendship. sometimes she gets scolded bc she unknowingly brings back poisonous flowers or something but zoey knows that she does it with the best of intentions and thinks its kinda cute in a way.

- also aphmau brings back zoey pretty items from her travels, usually rings, necklaces, or even pretty rocks. zoey keeps them all in her room and looks at them while working on magicks stuff

- sorta angsty but i feel like aphmau definitely feels guilty for being absent for most of levin and malachi’s childhood. way in the future i feel like she and zoey would either adopt or have a biological kid of their own that they can both be present for, now that aphmau is no longer a lord and zoey is just enjoying her last lifetime with her beloved wife.

- OH AND i find it funny that they end up together since, at least in my canon, irene and zoey were a thing way back when. so like after irene left this plane or whatever and reincarnated as aphmau its like zoey and irene found themselves again in another lifetime (more on that in zoey’s section, which i actually wrote first)

- god i really don’t have much to say abt aph lol uh she’s bisexual (fem leaning, which is why she doesn’t rlly feel anything for garroth or laurence but does get flustered around guys sometimes) and demiromantic (takes a WHILE for her to feel any romantic attraction. again its why she doesn’t feel anything for G and L LMAO)

ZOEY TALTATHEIL

- was a devout follower and close friend of irene 900 years ago. zoey, although she wasn’t part of the divine warriors, was irene’s right hand woman, and would help her with decisions etc etc.

- she was kind of like a guard but not really lol. i do feel as though she began to mess around with barrier magicks as a way to protect irene, despite the fact that it got her exhiled from her home. she’d do anything to protect her.

- they were overall very close, but due to circumstances tm they had to separate. they never saw each other again sadly

- (although there are some books written by scholars that state that at some point lady irene had a certain lady friend who she lived with and shared intimate moments with. wonder who that is :P)

- ((also irene did have a family at some point, and levin is of her bloodline. he has blonde hair and blue eyes, guess who else has blonde hair and blue eyes? garroth ZOEY (and yes also garroth but thats a coincidence imo) so i think they are at least distantly related but very much so regardless))

- enough about irene. in zoey’s long 900~ year life she’s travelled to many regions, learned about many different cultures, and met many people, some who she did settle down with at some point. due to her immortality, however, she outlived all her previous partners and since then has been afraid to settle down with anyone, afraid of losing them to time

- it wasn’t until she met aphmau and levin (and later malachi) that she began to change her mind. she began to raise her children when she was away on lord duties, and she got VERY attached to them. she treated them as her own, and soon became accustomed to the idea of having a family

- she also began to see aphmau in a more romantic light at some point during s1. she didn’t know when the change from platonic to romantic feelings began but it didn’t matter. what mattered was that she had been raising another woman’s children as though they were her very own, cooking for the 4 of them like a happy family, and literally living the life she had always wanted without even realizing it.

- anyways she sleeps with aphmau in her room despite having her own room. she uses her room more as a workspace for her magicks

- also (and this is less about zoey and more about elves in general) i feel as though elves start out with dark colored hair and with the years it slowly lightens up until it’s completely white (doesn’t matter what color; zoey’s just happened to be blonde which is why she has platinum blonde hair pre-timeskip. it obviously doesn’t change this fast, but zoey giving up her immortality did speed up the process by a LOT which is why the change was so drastic in such a small amount of time (for an elf))

- speaking of her immortality, i feel as though it was the main reason that drove her to, you know, actually become a thing with aphmau. they were practically married pre-timeskip but they never really mentioned it, both scared they’d ruin what they had. aphmau being trapped in the irene dimension was the thing that drove her to spend years of her life studying, trying to get her closest friend, no, her lover back; losing her immortality was the final push to make it official. losing her immortality mean that they’d both pass within each other’s lifetimes, which is something zoey had always wanted (that sounds morbid but imagine being immortal and outliving all your loved ones.. i feel as though one can only take so much pain before it turns you crazy)

- anyways enough angst. since zoey has lived so long and has been all over the place, she has countless stories to tell and levin and malachi always loved hearing them. post-timeskip she tells the same stories to the children of phoenix drop in her spare time. she loves being around children and overall just loves caring for ppl ^__^

- as for like sexuality hcs uhh i can’t imagine her as anything but a lesbian lol

Féachann Siad AU - Designs: Grian and Scar.

(Master-post) - Explains the au.

I was gonna post three designs for my au together but was struggling with Mumbos and decided to do his later. (I also just love how Scar and Grians designs came out.)

V

Their Dynamic!

Scar and Grian have a similar relationship to 3rd life just more distant due to their group getting spilt up.

They actually managed to find each other by accident while raiding an older medical tower for obviously medical supplies.

Both of them have trust issues so it’s definitely a situation of I’m cuddling this person so they don’t get a chance to stab me yet.

Grians feathers and wings are quite damaged making them overly sensitive and sore to the touch, but magic magic Scar worked his way around it he’s gradually been gaslighting Grian so he gets to touch his feathers so it gets to a point where Grian will let him preen them.

Individual Dynamics:

(just random stuff ig idk man)

Scar:

Vex (he’s a fancy variant of one but I don’t wanna spoil it cause ✨angst✨)

Hides Vexian features due to stigma around anything to do with their species.

You may be thinking but his tail was visible?? Well that’s a lot easier to lie about since there’s a lot of "safer" mutants with tails.

Under strong emotions he can’t exactly hold back his Vexian features so they just pop out, sometimes if the emotion is less but still strong his scars will change colour.

All his scars are from different incidents. (Good old Scar luck, gotta love it.)

His eye appears to be fully black but in reality he’s missing an eye there and chooses to put a black eye prosthetic sort of thing on, to protect it from dust, dirt, water and just really whatever.

Around 34, he always avoids the question how old are you for no real reason so they all guessed he was around 34.

Grian:

Inspired by a Great Horned Owl.

He also hides his actual wings because of the damage but still uses them when needed it’s just not the best for his health even if he’s tucking them into his back (avians wings shrink down and pierce back into the skin in which they protrude from when tucking them away.) or not.

He has three eyes so two on his right and one on his left.

He has a dagger he’s always carrying with him no matter what really.

Scar gave him the poppy and lilac necklace around whenever they started becoming great friends in return Grian gave Scar two of his smaller flight feathers to use to wear, write with, really anything Scar decided on.

He secretly does know Scar is gaslighting him about the whole feathers thing but he doesn’t mind it’s pretty funny to him and in general he does love it when people pet his feathers.

Again no one’s really asked about his age but he’s around 32-33.

W@T(h6^

[princemick]

sorry for sending this so late after the original ask, but abt the gif process explanation, yes pls!

ofcourse anon!! Ive done some before but it's been a while since I've done a full explenation sooo

KYLE PRINCEMICK'S 2023 BASIC GIFMAKING PROCESS!!

I'm going to explain it all below the tab. I wont go into graphics or colouring I'm just gonna explain how I get to a basic gif like this

and I'm going to break it up into 4 parts:

recording and import

timing

sharpening and size

export

if you follow this it will give you a basic gif to which you can add whatever you want.

I'm going to be using photoshop, OBS and video timeline for this.

1. RECORDING AND IMPORT

so, for recording I use OBS, it's an incredibly useful recording program and my favorite part is that it can record 60 fps which gives me reaally smooth gifs with a lot of frames. here are my personal obs settings.

now you can put your fps down to about 50 without a lot of quality loss if you need to.

then the import

to import to timeline you just drag your video right into photoshop. your workspace should look like this after you do.

to be able to gif you need a videotimeline obviously for that you just go

window -> timeline

when you do that this should pop up and you can just drag that to the bottom of your workspace and it will just snap right into there

2. TIMING

now for timing a lot comes down to what you personally like.

for basic ruules, 25 frames is about one second and the longer and more frames you make it, the heavier your gif will be. I personally keep my gifs to about 60 frames.

you can see how long your gif is with the little timer at the bottom (the 0:00:02:00)

I try not to make my gifs longer then 120 because then the quality will just be horrible and the gifs will be to heavy.

another important thing is how quick you want it to be. because obs records in 60 fps it records it really quick. if you dont change anything and export now this is what your gif will look like

which hey if you like that great, I dont. I like my gifs a lot slower which also makes them smoother and a lot less heavy.

you can change that by clicking on the little play bottom on your video

when you click on that you see this, the 'speed' is where you can obviously, change the sped.

I personally like my speed at 50 which makes the gif look like this instead:

when you do slow down the gif you might notice that the part you wanted to gif is gone, just drag the blue timeline out again because we slowed it down so you need to drag the whole video back out again.

now I like to make my timeline a little shorter and cut out the parts I dont need which again you can do by grabbing the sides of the timeline and move them around

now for my one gif this is what my timeline looks like !

then lasty of this part we're gonna go into

filter -> convert to smart object. now your timeline will turn purple, this is good!

3. SHARPENING AND SIZE

NOW, for sizing, tumblr has rules, the good part. photoshop has these sizes as presets, ig you go into the little sizing icon which looks like this

you have a little tab up in your work space where you have presets.

all of them can obviously be posted BUT tumblr prefers and will make the gifs look the best if you use 5:7 or 1:1

I like using 5:7, for this gif im gonna use 5:7 and add it horizontally, this is what cutting looks like and you can just click enter and it will cut

because you converted it into a smart object you can still move it around in your 5:7 border.

now, tumblr doesnt like gifs that are to big so, you can go into

image -> image size

and there you see this

tumblr prefers gifs that are 700 by 500 so you just write that make sure that little link thingy looks like this

and NOT this

because that little thing makes sure the size stays linked and then you can just change it to 700 by 500

now that your gif is the right size we're going to make it a lot better quality by sharpening you do this by going to

filter -> sharpen -> smart sharpen

everyone has their own preferences and style when it comes to sharpening but I like to use these two

now your video layer should look like this

and your gif should be all nice and crispy! like this:

4. EXPORT

and last but not least, exporting!

you export gifs by going to

file -> export -> save for web legacy

OR you can go alt + cytl + shift + s

when you do that a window pops up and its all about your own settings but these are the ones I use!

you can play around with a lot of the settings until its something you personally like. always remember to click on the little play on the bottom right to check if there are not mistakes in your movement and gif!

and then when you click on save your gif is done!!

that's my basic process from this point I go on to do everything else, I add colouring or text or a overlays, whatever I feel like but this is always the basics!

I hope this was clear and helped yall, I'd love to hear if it helped yall and have fun giffing!!

dont be scared to ask about anything about this process or any of my other process that I do!

Logan was not born a magician, unlike his peers in the academy. A simple farm boy living with his parents, poor as they may have been, the young boy was determined to pursue a life of knowledge with the support of his guardians through every step. Poverty be damned, the boy held his head up through every step he had to take.

One day, while out staring into the deep blues of the night sky, a star fell into the young boy's hands, and in the blink of an eye, magic bloomed on his palms and through his veins. A case, not unheard of, but extremely rare; A gift from the heavens above, some say, only given to those who are destined for greatness.

Of course, Logan would roll his eyes, and simply state in a monotone voice; Coincidences.

Still, many believe that to be the case; For little farm boy Logan, not having the gold or silver to afford the teachings of skilled magicians, took it upon himself to turn this blessing into a miracle. Stars blooming from tired palms, restless eyes scanning through every word in every book he could find, whatever may help this star shine brighter.

Such hard work was deserving of a reward, and rewarded he was. Why, anyone who catches the eye of the previous royal magicians from the Academy of Knowledge, must be quite the special star, wouldn't you agree?

Role in Party [Position]

Logan is a magician that specializes in space-based magic, heavily on elements of Time and Gravity, as well as common elements that may be associated with space (See: Fire, Electricity, Water, Earth, etc.). He uses a book (Letters from the Universe) passed down onto him by the previous Royal Magician as a catalyst for his magic.

Logan is well equipped in using his magic for combat, making him a good Damage Dealer. His range allows him to fight from up close and from afar, however, it has been observed that the closer he is to the target, the more damage he deals. The father he is, the quicker he is able to cast more combat magic.

Though he is more common with combat magic, he may also serve as a Support magician. With the ability to increase his party members' fight speed, or decrease enemy speed. He may also increase his party member's gravity to increase the weight of their damage, of course, this is only applicable to physical fighters or members' with physical weapons.

Logan also has minor healing abilities, but does not use them often as it is not his speciality. 'Leave it to the Sunshine Frog', he'd say.

Virgil

Odd Magician found on the outskirts of Creare

Character Class: Magician

Weapon Class: Catalyst

Specialization: Unknown - Not Previously Recorded

Associated Titles:

Wanderer to and from nowhere.

Character Background [Lore]

While only few know about this strange wanderer, many have seen him soaring in the sky as he travels from one kingdom to the next, never staring for longer than a week or two. Those who have interacted with the wanderer describes him as quiet, almost docile despite his rough appearance; Speaking in hushed tones and staring at the world around him wide-eyed and curious. For that reason, amongst many others, the wanderer was welcomes as he never seemed like a threat.

What may be even more odd about this wanderer is the question of what he is. Many had mistaken him for one of the beastfolk; of the avian kind, wings and all. Upon being questioned so, the wanderer would shake his head and shrug, before moving onwards on his path, unwilling to continue the conversation.

A particular debate surrounding the wanderer is the color of the feathers on his back, and the mop of hair on his head; Some say it would be a deep dark black, too dark, almost like the shadows beneath his feet. Others would say it would be as pale as the moon's glow.

Currently, the strange wanderer takes rest on the outskirts of the kingdom of Creare, garnering the attention of many of its people. Not just for the strange wanderer's eccentricities and mysteries, but for the new development in the wanderer's routine;

It's been over three months, with no tells of leaving anytime soon. How odd, this wanderer.

Role in Party [Position]

Virgil is a magician that uses a floating crystal (Eye of the Storm) as a magic catalyst in battle, such is a gift from a member of his previous party. He has two forms that he can interchange in battle, with the condition that he must give his previous form time to recharge. His role and range in the party depends heavily on the type of form he's taken.

Flight form is similar to his dormant form at night; His hair and wings turn a bright white, with his wings growing slightly larger than in his other form. His speed increases greatly, but his strength lowers just as much. This is his best form to take role as a Support, as this form consists of magic that can boost the other members.

Fight form is similar to his dormant form at day; His hair and wings turns a deep black, with his wings growing denser and feathers sharper. His speed decreases greatly, but his strength increases just as much. This is his best form to take role as a Damage Dealer, as this form consists of magic that can boost himself.

Changing forms while a form is still partially recharges is dangerous, and thus, not advisable.

Other Concept Stuff

Design: Logan appears tall and lean, with tan skin, dark blue eyes and black, slicked-back, hair. He wears rectangular shaped glasses with golden frames, attached to a golden beaded glasses chain.

He wears a dark blue tunic with gold accents; You may also notice golden planets, moons, stars, orbits as well as a large golden sun with the silhouette of a crescent moon in the middle. There is a noticeable sparkle of glitter surrounding those golden shapes. These golden swirls and shapes are also seen on his sleeves.

Two brown belts, with one connecting to a small pouch, hangs loosely around his waist and over his hips. Two ribbons are connected to one of the belts, a red and cyan crystal hanging from a respective ribbon.

Under his tunic is a black button up shirt and a blue tie.

He wears long fingerless black gloves that take up most of his forearm, with gold lining at the end of the glove and around his wrist. A blue crystal is attached to the glove, below his knuckles.

He wears black pants that are tucked into a pair of brown and white leather high boots that reach a few inches below his knees. These boots are accented with gold and a blue crystal is noticeable above the bridge of his feet.

There is a noticeable pin on the right of his chest, colored gold and shaped like a thing four-pointed star, with arrows and a golden ring around it. Much like a clock or compass.

His weapon is a dark blue floating book, with two dark blue ribbons attached between the pages with golden stars hanging from the tips, serving as a sort of book-mark. There are rings, similar to his pin on the upper right corner and lower left corner of the book.

Design: Virgil is a pale skinned man with a short frame, a short mop of hair on his head, with a noticeable braid of hair starting from his temples. His hair switches between black and white, depending on the time of day.

His ears are slightly pointed, with a black ring helix piercing on his left ear, and a black studded earring with a purple crystal hanging from both.

He has heterochromic eyes, with his right eye being purple and the left being green, with a black/purple ring of color under his eyes.

He wears a cropped hoodie, it is a pale lavender, with three patches of various shades of purple (with two being plaid) sewn together in the hoodie's lower half. The hood is dark purple and plaid, with two dark purple hoodie strings.

He has long gray half gloves, starting from under his shoulder to a few inches over his wrist. The gloves are secured on him through black strings, on his shoulders and wrist. There are three, beads around the string on his left wrist, colored in yellow, green and orange. Similarly to Logan, he has purple crystals on his gloves, under his knuckles.

He wears baggy dark gray pants that hang from his waist, secured by a brown belt, with two long belt straps hanging from it. There is also a gold strap on the same side, with red, blue, and cyan circles on it.

He wears long brown boots with black accents, stopping several inches below his knee.

He has thick wings that switch between black and white together with his hair. Though the wings do look bird-like, feathers and all, none can point out the type of bird it can be associated with.

Virgil also has black long nails with sharp tips.

His weapon is a crystal orb that consistently swirls between the colors black and white, usually towards its center. Floating around the orb are two golden shells shaped like wings turning inwards toward the orb.

Just Monika!

monika appreciation post

low key changing my artstyle again bc i’m indecisive 💀 and i had my little brother do this hand pose in front of me for like 10 minutes bc i didn’t know how to draw her hands lmao

the more i stare at it the more i dislike it but whatevs, and click for better quality if it looks weird ig

art by me so uh ya don’t steal it pls or i’ll cry

[occasionally-victor]

some more glow headcanons (click for the better quality)

previous glow hcs posts selfpromo ayyy: Pearl; Mumbo

kind of close ups and explanations under the cut:

1. Basically, from time to time, random amount of eyes (that are glowing of course) on random spots appear on Grians body. (something something Watchers whatever hes like only max 30% watcher)

2. He can't really control them appearing, but he can pretty easily hide them (which he does for most of the time). Eyes usually show up while hes sleeping or just very relaxed or when something startled him.

3. Grian always carries an old blindfold, because if he ever needs to be more Watcher-y (which in his "max 30%" case its just some additional wings and some powers ig i really do not bother with that i just think it looks cool), without that blindfold his brain will quickly overwhelm.

1. Yes, all yellow parts are glowing. Even on a tshirt.

2. Honestly, i dont really have much to talk here, i used it as an opportunity to finally draw Impulse + his elytra-wings.

3. In the corner it was just me looking at free space, not liking free space and doodling random stuff.

Babes wake up new OC designs dropped/REF/HJ

Ayyy so I made a whiteboard cuz I was curious to try and found out it's pretty cool for sketching sjsjjsjs

Took the opportunity to play a little with designing and remade Golfball and Seven just a little so that they don't look like a copy and paste of eachother jadjdhje

Starting with Golfball

[Click for better quality y'know Tumblr mobile sob]

I decided to give Golfball his scarf back cuz tbh I really like scarfs sjdjjdjd and- a neck of course cuz y'know lol. Plus more mecha-ish features ig ajdjsj

The scarf is pretty long on the front so that he can sometimes fidget/play with it as a distraction y'know- cuz I do it myself with my clothes all the time lol. Plus, is also made of a very thick, soft and fluffy fabric so that he can even cover his whole face with it and can throw a liberating scream whenever he gets too angry or overwhelmed and has to calm down.

Y'know like a portable pillow bdjdjdn

OK SO Now for Seven

[Click for better quality y'know Tumblr mobile sob]

Tried my best to make Seven more original and distinguishable from Golfball despite the two being twins jdjdjd so I added a little pronouns accessory, as a treat, cuz I really like those

ALSO

[Click for better quality y'know Tumblr mobile sob]

Gave both Golfball and Seven the beautiful gift of ✨nanotechnology✨ since apparently I put Xeno, a protogen, into the universe so it makes pretty much sense now that the Facility can use nanites since they also work on protogens

So yeah basically Golfball and Seven's are now able to form a mouth thanks to the screen being made of nanites. That means that yeah they can eat food now jdjdjsj

[Click for better quality y'know Tumblr mobile sob]

Also apparently my friends liked Seven a lot and wanted to give them a kizz so now you get a doodle of a POV of giving heem a kissy

(realized I forgor the detail on Seven's head sob but oop whatever lmao)

end of the year fic asks! what's your favorite line/section that you wrote this year? do one for each fic, if you'd like!!

i

have been away from tumblr since november aaagh. time hasn't existed so this is my end of the year >:D ty for ask anon <333

under the cut since they're somewhat spoilery

love for mowwo because i am rotten:

“Do you remember when you first came here?” Wu starts quietly, not foolish enough to wait for the answer. “You were scarcely old enough to run, yet you climbed this Mountain of Impossible Height. I used to believe it was destiny that brought you to this place. I was wrong. It was you, Morro. It was always you.”

from skytoucher ch7:

Finally realizing he needs to step in, Cole takes Zane’s hand and says, “Hey, where’s this coming from?”

“I- I apologize for my outburst. It’s just, after all of our training, we’re still...subpar.”

“Lloyd knows we’re coming for him this time.” - Cole

“Yeah, but Zane’s right. We’ve already tried this, and look what it got us. There’s gotta be a better way to find him.” - Jay

[The team stands there, unsure what to do for a minute.] That’s when Kai’s phone starts blowing up the way only a Green Ninja sighting can warrant. Sharing a look, everyone whips out their beautiful little pocket trackers at once and opens the Chirper storm.

“That’s him,” Jay cries. “That’s Lloyd!”

Yeah, Kai’s looking right at him. His little bro looks fine. Sure, instead of the big hero grin he usually puts on for the fans, he’s staring at the camera with eyes blown wide, dark ones as if he hasn’t slept in a week, but what else is new? More pics follow of him retreating down whatever street he’s on, like a snapshot film in motion, clutching his right arm close. He could be totally fine.

It’s not even him.

returned!verse part 2. i like this interaction so much but probably have to cut it cause it's way too early for morro to be acting like this, so ig i'll immortalize it here lol:

“So, how are you adjusting?”

“Fine. Thanks for asking.” Don’t.

“It is a genuine inquiry, Morro. Are the others treating you well?”

What kind of question is that? It’s been exactly how they’d treat any enemy they’ll never trust. Lloyd rarely lets him out of sight; Kai and Nya still shoot him glares any time they have to look at him. However, Cole and Zane have continued being the most cordial, and Jay, well, Morro isn’t sure what to make of the Lightning ninja. He never stays in one place for long. An enviable quality, truly.

The board of letters crackles, tingling on his fingertips as he taps out a search. He narrows his eyes at the sensation but shrugs to himself. Zane said the device is powered by electricity after all.

Skimming the list of current world affairs he's been combing through every day for a week, he retorts, “What is this? ‘You kids playing nice? Getting good grades?’ Really, Sensei.”

Taking the hit with grace, Wu glances down at his dumb little fob watch for the hundredth time. Morro doesn’t glance up from the computer screen he’s pointedly stuck his nose deeper in. The minute hand ticks away, and he clicks the touch-pad once to the next page, then again.

“Very well. I must be off.”

That was easy. “What, you’re going to be late for a doctor’s appointment or something?”

Wu hovers at the door, his hand trailing with its small, telltale sound down his beard. “An appointment, yes. With a doctor, no,” he answers in a snap, “but thank you for the concern. It is touching.”

"I—" Morro sputters, finally lifting his eyes to glare at the obnoxious old man. "Jeez, whatever. Just," he returns to the list, "be back soon."

It dawns on him what just left his mouth as it goes, and he rubs his eyes to pretend he doesn't see Wu's smile. It's the reading. Reading and staring at a square of light for hours is exhausting.

“I intend to,” Wu says on his way out, the familiar tinge of challenge in his voice.

He’s definitely going to fight someone, but it’s not Morro’s business.

printable highlight 🌟 the ED-Aid

my first free printable, y’all!!! i already released it via IG last week, but i’m extra af tumblr’s a whole other platform, so i took the time to write about it instead of just posting a couple screenshots and leaving it at that. (link will be at the end of the post.)

—disclaimer: ED in this case stands for Executive Dysfunction, not Eating Disorder. it won’t be discussed in too much detail here, so i highly encourage you to look it up yourself. you can start with this article as well as posts about it here on tumblr. however, a deep understanding of the concept won’t be necessary for you to be able to use the printable.

—cw: mentions of mental illness and recovery

i. some context

last week, my sister opened up about feeling paralyzed from the pressure of all the things she needs and wants to do, and how s/hitty she felt about herself because she couldn’t bring herself to do any of it no matter how hard she tried. it sounded a lot like something i went through often before i got help for my Bipolar, i.e. executive dysfunction. i had more than the usual amount of trouble dealing with concentration, planning, decision-making, and doing what my brain tells me to do.

it was a horrible time, but i’m a stubborn person, so i found a way to cope with it, among other things, in order to still function as a student in uni who had a lot of coursework to do. i did my research and tried out a dozen tips and tricks from people and articles suggesting strictly sticking to a routine, improving your discipline, etc., but none of them worked for me personally. finally, i just set up my own system, which takes unexpected depressive and hypomanic episodes, unstable energy levels, a wrecked body clock, and general impulsiveness into account. this printable is one of the tools i used—and still use—as part of that system. behold, the ED-Aid: (tap on the photo for better quality.)

ii. how it works

it did not look like this back then, but the idea behind it is the same: remove some of the responsibility from yourself. this is important because i frequently caught myself overthinking the amount of time it would take to do a certain task and how important or urgent it was compared to all the other tasks i had lined up, but all of them were important and urgent and would take up time i could be using to do everything else—it was a mess, and at the center of that mess was the decision: “where do i start?” “what do i do first?” if you have a heirarchy of values, it would be easy to answer, but for people like me, it’s pretty rattling.

to solve the issue of choosing a task to prioritize and crumbling under the weight of the possible consequences of not prioritizing something else before i even actually do anything, i just sorted my tasks into categories to narrow them down. then, i put them in list form or in boxes as shown above, so i can see a physical representation, and i let chance decide.

to do so, you just close your eyes, let your finger or a pen or a nail file, a wand, the foot of a plushie, whatever glide over the page randomly, and wherever it lands when you stop will dictate which category you’ll focus on first so you have significantly less tasks to choose from. and if anything should go wrong, you can blame the chart. or blame fate. it was off your hands, so..

iii. the product

here are a few samples of the printable itself, including blank versions for people who want to put their own personal categories or prefer choosing from a pre-determined set of tasks instead of categories:

these are just 3 of 8 color varieties, including warmer tones of brown. the full-page size is A4, but there are also postcard-sized versions as well as ones that can easily fit in your journal or planner.

this printable is completely FREE OF CHARGE. you don’t even have to be following me to use it; just please don’t be a jerk and pass it off as your own or re-post it with “ctto” and nothing else. if you’re feeling generous tho, you can send me tips via ko-fi!

i hope y’all enjoy the printable if you decide to try it out, and that it helps you out in some way. don’t forget to tag me if you post about it so i can see!! with all that said, simply CLICK HERE TO SEE AND DOWNLOAD THE PDFs.

Sprout Alien Species!

[this species is still a wip, so please don't make a character of it until I finish it <:)]

(click pictures for better quality!)

Basics!

Sprout aliens originate from the dwarf planet Pluto!

Sprout aliens are born like some plants, they start growing their sprout out of the ground but soon after maybe a few months a hole will cave into the ground and an alien will come out!

(reference made by me^)

Sprout aliens are also known as "dwarf plants" because since they originated from the dwarf planet pluto, most of their heights are 4'3(4'8 being the tallest).

Sprout Aliens have the ability to have their sprout/plant glow in the dark, along with their eyes.

Most of their clothes are based off of their skin color(for example green like in the ref), but they are also allowed and able to wear other clothes that aren't their color!

(reference made by me^)

All aliens have their own little cheek circle things that's a darker color then their normal skin tone!

Sprout aliens blood is also a neon color of their skin, and it glows in the dark(The blood is also similar to an acid so when they get a cut of some sort it does burn!)

Sprout aliens have each and every one of their own sprouts, but each alien is born with the 4 main one's :

(drawing made by me!)

Aliens base their birth month by the color their skin is given! :

February : Blue

March : Green

April : Soft pink

May : Hot pink

June : Purple

July : Teal

August Yellow

September : Orange yellow

October : Grey/Black

November : Soft brown

December : Red, or white!

(edit : the post was weird before so here's January!) January : Orange

Both aliens have matching eye shapes, but some can be more rounded or some can be more sharp then others

(drawing made by me!)

That's all I have for this species for now, I'll edit this again when I get the chance, but for now it's a wip <:)!!

(drawing made by me!)

Skin tones!

Sprout alien skins are usually a pastel color of whatever they were born with, their cheeks usually being a darker shade and the circling inside the cheeks a darker shade then the color of the cheeks(if that makes sense :">)

Sprout Alien language is basically how the villagers in animal crossing talk! Their voices can be very high or low, and their language is basically just a bunch of gibberish!

Sprout Aliens cannot die of age! Sprout aliens are born ageless, and they do physically age but their physical aging stops when they turn about 23-25.

Sprout Aliens are actually very curious creatures! They will be amazed by the simplest of things, even if it's something no one would find very interesting!

Sprout Aliens usually don't have any interest in relationship's, not saying all don't like relationships, some do! It's basically a 50/50 for them ig :")

Sprout aliens do kind of work like plants! They can make their own food in their body (like photosynthesis omg big word😳)!
