You don't need to bask in other peoples' glow. Just make your own! Trying out a more buggy bug face. Aubie's got this mammalian thing going on, but I do find macro photos of arthropods to be quite charming and cute too. I just need to figure out how to best anthropomorphize them in my style!

Do you think Kon would have a good singing voice? If so do you have any hcs of what he would sound like? :D

yeah!! i think he's got a good ear for pitch and rhythm. he doesn't have any like, amazing operatic singing voice or anything, but he's got a nice warm baritone. he likes to sing made-up-on-the-spot little nonsense ditties at krypto and it's very charming. also of course he loves to jam out to his fav rock music. maybe like a jack johnson with a tinge of neil diamond, as far as artists go? i'm bad at assigning voices to characters but that's the vibe at least. a warm timbre, not super rich or velvety and a little more breathy. does this make sense i hope it does dhfjkd

making some self-indulgent userboxes, themed around some music mary likes. would anyone be interested ?? /genq I'll totally share them if y'all are. They're :

(themed around nights like these by pigeon pit) This user wants to ask: Do the dead grow older too? Because as much as they liked being ten years old, they like to think they do

this user is so so normal about piegon pit

this user is so so normal about She/Her/hers

this user is so so normal about Blue Foster

this user is so so normal about Sorority Noise

this user is so so normal about Avril Lavigne

this user is so so normal about Lemon Demon

(themed around IDK if i'm a boy by blue foster) this user doesn't know if they're a boy

(themed around above song) this user knows they're a reject, their own special kind of loser

(themed around above song) this user says "Fuck this, bitch, I am writing a song"

(themed around I want dancing i want hunger by Blue Foster) This user has been chronically tired since high school

(themed around above) this user has been chronically hungry since three in the morning

(themed around blonde hair, black lungs by sorority noise) this user drove home at 100 miles an hour to see what it feels like to fly

(themed around above song) all this user will ever be is a nightmare and a wet dream, a reason to smile from 6 feet underground

*for wbw* Tell me a little about Narcissus.

ABSOLUTELY.

Narcissus is actually related--for real!!--to Hakon and Kalyan. He's Hakon's nephew, making him Kalyan's cousin! When I bought him, I had no idea. But when I checked it out, I freaked.

For those who aren't familiar with The Golden Firefly Dance Troupe, they're actually members of the Clan in the Mists, but they constantly travel the world performing! This is actually a front, however.

The Fireflies travel specifically to rescue folks from areas called 'The Water Gardens,' brothels that are notoriously hard to find, and that take their inhabitants by force. They're protected by Gardeners, Guardians who have been brainwashed to believe the Children of the Water Gardens are ALL their Charges.

Now, what does that have to do with Narcissus? In the Water Gardens, there are those called the 'Flower of the Water Garden.' This translates to the overseer--and they're often raised in their position. They intake all new Children, oversee day to day activities, command the Gardeners, etc. Their word is law, but this also means they're a target for outside forces looking to disrupt their operations and/or quite literally put an end to them.

When the Fireflies took over his Water Garden, Hakon knew there was something very different about Narcissus from the get-go. After a long and, er...arduous...negotiation (full of cursing and fit-throwing by Narcissus I'll have you know), he finally agreed to join the Fireflies and use his knowledge of Water Garden locations to keep bringing them down! Not long after, Hakon realized that Narcissus was actually his nephew, abducted at a very VERY young age. Needless to say, this made Narcissus' transition into the Fireflies just a tiny bit easier. He was told his family were completely dead, so finding not one but two family members was pretty humbling.

Narcissus is...

named that way for a reason, though. He is absolutely, 100% a diva. But he was raised that way, so people are...uh, kind of patient with him. Kind of. He's a ballet instructor and a contortionist! And his performances are generally really well received in the Fireflies' travels--his knowledge of performances for previous 'customers' translated well into having the freedom to REALLY create. Did it mellow him out? Uhhh, a little. He's working on it. (Maybe. If he's not, then the Fireflies will absolutely nudge him to do so, hehehe.)

Raincloud... in a rainstorm.

how did I not-

[mercuryj15]

So I know a lot of people are big on the bridge/cloud shots of the trailer being THE Bumbleby moment, but...

This location shot really has that classic romantic fairytale feel. It's got "kiss the girl"/turtleduck date night vibes.

We didn't get the Atlas ball or clubbing with FNKI. Maybe we'll get our Beauty and the Beast dance while we're in the fairytale. And we are doing volume 2 call backs...

I want to dance in the forest at night, just like the fireflies do.
