[caridinafry]

i guess i can post these here too ummmm yeah. shadow the hedgehog cosplay! fursuit. yeah!

Currently everything is kind of poorly pinned into place because I am not gluing a single thing until I find the fur color I need for the muzzle and inner ear, which is why you can still see parts of the foam. Just about done with everything else, and if I have the time I'll add onto the cosplay (ie, shoes, inhibitor rings, gloves, tail, back quills and more) but my top priority is finishing the head first.

Fur obviously still needs to be brushed out as well +shaved down more especially on the face since its wayyyy too long. Waiting for the clippers I bought to arrive so I can get to that.

also do not Fret he wont remain noseless i actually already have his nose done im just stupid and forgot to pin it on for the pictures ^.^ oops!

anyways pspspsspppp go follow my bluesky for more frequent updates/art posting

Would you like some strangely elaborate specific ass headcanons? Of course you do!!!! Also I'm outsourcing a very specific dilemma. But you have to Learn My Methods first. Okay? Okay!!!!

PIERCINGS. AS STORYTELLING DEVICES. GO!!!!

Okay! So what the hell are we looking at and what exactly am I trying to determine, here? Well!!! There's a few different facets to this.

FIRST OF ALL. REALLY REALLY CUTE AND ALWAYS SO FUN TO ME

One, two, three!!! They're a set of three, and they're marked as such by how many sets of piercings they have in their ears. It's such a small detail that happened more by coincidence than intent, but it makes drawing all three of them together feel coherent and again, fun! I also really like the storytelling/contrast of the Askr siblings having golden jewerly, while Moe's is in silver (it does mix silver and gold more broadly -- but I'm talking just the face/ears here!). You get the sense (... in addition to Moe's more scruffy appearance in general), that one is from a more "common" background.

Okay, but what's all that text? STORYTELLING.... 2

Piercings, as a way to indicate connections to other characters, and to imply background information.

First example, it's noted that Bruno has had his in for a long time (... kind of regretting the specificness of "as a kid". That's supposed to have implications, but tbh it may be more fitting for Bruno as a whole to simply have said, "A Long Time"). He wears something modest, maybe a common stone, but still eye-catching. I like to think Alfonse became enamored with it (guys can also do this???), same way he was completely smitten by all of Zacharias. One extremely questionable piercing job courtesy of Zacharias himself and egged on by Sharena (who made a generous donation and/or sacrifice from her own jewelry box) later, it's a miracle he managed to heal them. Equally impressive is how long he managed to hide them as a teenager.

Meanwhile, you see Sharena's example is pretty straightforward! Assigned ear-stabbing at birth. It worked out well, though! Aside from that one time where her piercings mysteriously closed up and they had to be re-done, when she was little. Which could mean nothing. Alls well that ends well! In fact, she liked the look so much she decided to get another set done! Which may or may not come back later...

I will admit, the saddle plugs on Bruno were an impulse decision I made drawing this out (so not a super strong design headcanon, and maybe I could draw it better w more practice tbh, test run ect ect), BUT. MORE IMPORTANTLY. That idea, AND NEXT UP: STORYTELLING... 3.

On top of noting significant connections and providing background information -- here, you have gaining more and/or doing different Things with your piercings, as a way to indicate the passage of time or a change of taste. Woah, that's a lot of text! That's just my autism showing, I'll do you a favor -- with Moe specifically, the biggest takeaway here is:

One, two, three. There are other iderations of Moe of course, plenty of awkward in-between stages. But as I've developed it, I've found that there's like... three really plot relevant parts of its life. One easy to forget, two OH GOD OH FUCK, three that's the guy who lives here now. AWESOME!!!!

OKAY. OKAY. PEONY she has BEEN HERE THIS WHOLE TIME. What's up with that?

So we have background implications/information, we have connections to other characters, and NOW. WE HAVE. Paths that diverge. Sharena, 2. Peony, 1. Plus, a little bit of shape language with those tear drop earrings... on Sharena specifically...... ohghhghhf........

I've always been really indecisive with my Peony designs (for some reason it has been SUCH A STRUGGLE FOR ME), but I do like the simplicity of this one actually. The "Princess Peach core" note about Sharena is more about her color palette, but after writing that I went You know what. Fuck it *gives Peony Princess Peach earrings*. This does feel subject to change, but the idea they could be like water droplets is so cutes... I have really wanted to give Peony earrings with a blue gem though, BECAUSE...

The blue and silver are a nod to this reoccurring detail on Peony! So not only does it tie back to Sharena (IMPORTANT), it also (theoretically.) ties together nicely overall!!

Okay. So. Where does this leave me. Why did I draw all this out? All these little details that exist in my mind, why did I go out of my way to create this elaborate in-depth demonstration? Remember when I said I was gonna outsource some shit?

PROBLEM: I NEVER. EVER. EVEEEERRRRRR KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH LIF'S EARRINGS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ AND THE LACK OF DIRECTION IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE GLARING EVERY FUCKING TIME I DRAW HIM‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

And what prompted all of this. What REALLY made me Think About This. I did another "ehhh Fuck It" with Lif's piercings, where he's sharing a panel with Moe, and

Ooughgughfhghhh...... them having the same earring arrangement.

But then. Then. I got autism brained about it. I can see Bruno having fuck all time to stretch his ears while on some gayass journey (... the. Timelines. Time in between Events. Maybe he wouldn't have full big stretched ears in Book 1. HOWEVER). Inconvenient, maybe, but if he's dedicated to the grind. He can do it. And I mean, have you seen his muscles? Dude CARES about his appearance. Meanwhile Moe ABSOLUTELY had fuck all time to stretch its ears before arriving in Askr. Then I'm thinking about Alfonse. NEVERMIND how much time it takes to stretch your ears, I'm thinking about the Number Rules. I'm thinking about how he's One, the first guy of a set of Three. I'm thinking about the Number Rule, to indicate Time. Why WOULD he have Three? The Number Rule, as Paths Diverging. There's Two of him, not Three. ALSO ASKING MYSELF "Would Alfonse get more piercings???" LIKE NO. BECAUSE. THE. THE RULE OF THREE. THE ONE TWO THREE. WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫

Idk am I just insane. Am I a lost cause. Lif's ears are usually covered up by his long shaggy hair anyway. But really that does just make any time any piercings Would be visible, just. I am just so deeply conflicted torn between Goth Alt Men Hot and THE METHODS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ THE STORYTELLING THE METHODS MY DEEPLY INTRICATE RITUALS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Do you think since the castle at this time was formed through Maxim's will, that Death may have taken form similarly? Well you can call me a wanted outlaw because I sure am reaching for the sky like I always do with these random comics. ( J` O`)J

This was what I was thinking while doodling Death in his various designs. Not to mention, when I see a ribbon, I may accentuate them.

This was also an excuse to touch-up how I draw Juste, as I made the dumb decision of forgetting the little bow on his outfit-- I did not add that onto Death's cloak by the way.

I'd love to make a playlist for Q'ihnn but none of the music I consistently listen to ever feels the right vibe for him?

what encompasses a self sacrificing paladin who fights desperately to protect what he has because he has known so much loss, but who is also a little bit of a slut but in a way where he believes it's because he's inherently unlovable in some way, and who feels his friends see him more like a marble statue to be admired than an actual person

cause it sure as hell ain't yung gravy or wind rose

"And Lundy, talk about all the different Finns on this team: one of them a good friend of yours, Eetu Luostarinen got married pretty quickly right after the Cup got done. How did that party compare to the Cup parties? You guys just kept the action going it feels like!" "Yeah, I mean, it was awesome to see one of my best friends get married and be a part of it! But it got a little tight with the time since the season went so far—he actually missed his bachelor party but I think he's pretty happy with the parade and the parties we had in Florida so I don't think he minded that too much... but it was awesome to be a part of his wedding and see all his friends and family celebrating; that was a special moment as well."

for the past few weeks i've been saying "ugh I'll deal with xyz after I hand my last assessment in"

my last assessment is due tomorrow

this post actually isn't about the incredible buildup of shit i will soon have to do (I'll think about that after I hand my last assessment in).

it's about how i had a dream last night where i was bleeding out considerably and i looked down at all the blood and said "ugh. I'll go see a doctor after I hand my last assessment in."

send help it's gone too far

[seawitchkaraoke]

no y’all don’t get it, the reason Jenna doesn’t connect the dots and figures out that Leverage is secretly being her guardian angels is that the dots connect to make an absolutely ridiculous picture!

Like! She’s very smart and very willing to throw herself into risky situations to do what she thinks is right and I love her, but no matter how clever you are “a bunch of super thieves/vigilantes are also trying to take this guy down and are now secretly helping me by making a bunch of random but not that incredibly unlikely shit happen” is just. like. c’mon. if you say you’d figure that out while in a ridiculously stressful situation in which you constantly put yourself at risk of worst case getting raped and best case losing your job and possibly getting sued, you’re lying.

Yeah the team’s cons are obvious to us! bc we know them! but normal ppl don’t connect “venue shut down bc food poisoning” and “randomly found a singer at a completely different venue” and “there was a fire alarm” bc all those things can in fact happen, for them all to happen in quick succession is random and lucky but it’s not “omg someone is spying on me and??? giving me?????? things i need?”

What do you think Ayin is currently doing in the Light considering both he and Carmen got absorbed but only Carmen is seemingly active?

Dear Anonymous,

I think Ayin's position in the Light is...tenuous, to say the least. Having been submerged in Cogito for ten thousand years (thanks to the TT2 protocol, anyway) I'm sure Carmen has more affinity with the Light, while Ayin isn't very-well acquainted with it. This would explain the apparent disparity in their presence within the Light that now looms over the City, and I also think it's due to the fact that Ayin might've envisioned his role in the Light to be much...smaller.

I believe, now, that Carmen was originally sent into the Light as a way to make her dreams come true; one last apology from Ayin for the mess that was the Corporation, its creation, and the heinous acts he committed to rise as a Wing. The release of the Light gave Carmen the beautiful voice she always dreamed of having, and it also made her part of the 'light' she loved to bask in so much, even being compared to the sun by Argalia and his crew and being referred to sometimes as 'Mrs. Sun'.

Though I also believe that the main reason Ayin decided to send her up there was to help control who gets E.G.O., at least a little bit. In Day 50, he mentioned how they couldn't control how everyone gets to bloom their forest in their heart, but with Carmen's presence in the Light, I believe she might've been able to discern the people who did merit E.G.O. and those who...didn't, as we saw how even wicked people with enough determination can manifest E.G.O., yet that only happens after Carmen tries getting them to Distort. So perhaps originally, Carmen's presence was a method to control the distribution of E.G.O. in a way...

...at least, before Carmen seemed to Distort herself and changed her ideals towards making people as selfish as they could possibly be. I think that's the main reason she seems so powerful in the Light while Ayin is...not really visible, but he's there. If I recall correctly, there was a callback to him in Leviathan where Carmen said that 'her junior' was currently working against her methods to some degree, and I also think that with her mastery over the Light, she could be trying to hinder him, incapacitate him, or even Distort him so he would agree with her new method, so he's probably fighting off a lot of hassles at the moment...

Though, I find it tragically ironic how Ayin, the worst possible man to ever carry anything remotely related to the ideal Carmen once held, is now the bulwark against her in the Light how he's more related to E.G.O. while Carmen has fallen so far due to her insecurities and the grief she had to endure watching Ayin and the Sephirahs (and even Angela) suffer so much to achieve her ideal...

But that's my opinion on this whole conundrum. Thank you for the very interesting ask, Anon, and until next time, be well, take care, and see ya'!

I'm not done listening to the Alex Hirsch interviews but god it just reminds me both of how much I miss this show and how much I appreciate the love and care that went into it. I love listening to him talk about the characters with a frankness and care that shows how much he values them being three dimensional beings.

Absolutely random headcanon but Eak is one of those people who's a terrible patient. He'll wake up feeling like a train ran him over and decide that you know what, he's still perfectly fine to go to school. He'll pass out or some shit and then the next day will decide he's alright enough to go running or to the gym even though he's not. He thinks taking meds is a hassle and will forget to do it. Just an absolute disaster.

Yet, even Chapuys, who gives us this information, says earlier in the same letter that ‘there had been… talk of a new marriage for this king… which rumour agrees well with my own news from the court of France, where, according to letters [I have] received, courtiers maintain that this king has actually applied for the hand of Francis’ daughter’. Chapuys himself therefore does not connect up the rumours of a ‘new marriage’ with Jane Seymour. In early April, Jane was still little more than a lady whom the king was pursuing. At best, in accordance with the conventions of courtly love, she was the lady whom ‘he serves’ – a telling phrase. At worst, she was a passing fancy, whom Henry may have hoped to make his mistress. Chapuys certainly didn’t think much of Henry’s choice. He described Jane the day before Anne’s execution as ‘no great beauty’ and ‘not a woman of great wit’; he implied that she was unlikely to be a virgin, and reported that people said she was inclined ‘to be proud and haughty’. Yet, by this point, the world had changed, and with it, Henry’s intentions towards Jane. It is highly improbable that before Anne was considered guilty of adultery, Henry had seriously begun to plan to make Jane his wife.
