Friendly reminder that in the lightning thief musical the first song(the day I got expelled) doesn’t even start with Percy.

It starts with Luke.

Because in all actuality the story started with Luke.

LUFFY’S DREAM

Huh? Have I never mentioned this to any of you before...? I guess I only told Shanks, Ace and Sabo then.

AKHENATEN

uhhh let's see. I combined some sketches I did of Nefertiti and Akhenaten and ended up somewhere here for an Akhenaten design. in my heart, it's for a comic but there's so much visual research I'd have to do before I could even think about approaching a comic. oof.

anyway moving on: Akhenaten was a childhood obsession! and then I moved onto other things, as one does, but then a couple months ago I decided to check out some books and now I have a headache.

Akhenaten, Ronald T. Ridley

Can we talk about how in that scene where Luz dies, she doesn’t know what to say or do — she doesn’t evensay “bye” because it’s all so sudden — and it’s all too soon before she explodes into thousands of balls of light and everything is quiet except for the quiet, somber drifting music. What’s left of her sweeps through the Isles as it Belos continues overtaking it, and the lights pass by everyone she knows: Eda and King, her classmates, Willow, Gus, Hunter and Amity, and then Camilla, who sheds a tear despite still being a puppet. Finally it ends on Eda and King’s shocked faces and the Collector so confused as they realize they can’t fix or bring her back. As the music screeches to a halt, you realize that Luz is truly gone and then you think, “Now what?”

Truly one of THE most affecting parts of the episode. I mean, have the chills just writing this.

y'all have no clue how wild it is to live in my timeline, because 12 years ago i was a huge fan of these cute lil' zelda strips and at the time i found out through the grapevine that the creator apparently stopped making these comics because they had started drawing NSFW content-

and at the time i was like "oh ok that's wild but respect"

and now in the present the artist who's making the OMORI manga adaption is under fire for being a shota fetishist and it's putting the spotlight back on the OMORI creator themselves for ALSO being a shota fetishist and oh my god the omocat who made those zelda comics over a decade ago is the same omocat who went on to make OMORI holy shit-

Arcane Season 2 Episode 3 Finally Got the Name Right

[sparkles-rule-4eva]

I'm still not over Sonic Frontiers. Kronos Island is an entire vibe. The soft tones of voices. The muted colors. The tall grass. The flowers. The rain. The overhanging weight of grief and loss of long ago. I'm obsessed.

Anyway I tried something new with this, I used only painting brushes on Procreate and not nearly as many layers, but this was so cool to make. It wasn't originally gonna have Amy in it but I couldn't resist 🤭💗🌹

Send help I just had a flash of a modern Dracula adaptation and am hurting myself with visions of Jonathan and Mina dancing to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" before he heads off to the castle

the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.

I think one of my favorite things to think about is just last year I was going on about how I found it funny that my dragon obsession matured with me-

I started with HTTYD, and grew obsessed with the designs and such, then eventually moved on to Wings of Fire, and then Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon

But what I find even better is that now that I've gone back to How to Train Your Dragon, I've matured so much more than the elementary school kid who just loved the designs and the fact that there were dragons in it. The elementary school kid who only saw it at a surface level, and just loved the idea of being friends with dragons. I played my favorites by appearance of the characters too, so Astrid was my favorite for the longest, and deadly nadders and night furies had been my favorite as well.

Nothing has changed with the dragons. They're still my favorites, but while also taking more into consideration the personalities and abilities of both-

But looking at it more mature than that little kid, I notice all the deeper things, the meanings of the stories that the movies tell, and just how much each character went through in them. I love looking at them all in less of a black and white view that I did as a kid, and appreciating them now. Hiccup has quickly moved his way up to my favorites just for the story he has, and all those things that I just never fully processed as a kid (which, surprisingly, I never really took note about just how mean the village could be-)

So anyway, getting back into old fandoms is fun :3 Especially now that I get to see what everyone else thinks of them, and their ideas on it. And now I get all of those fics...

I love HTTYD so much....
