Thought I'd start off the year by re-blogging what was supposed to be New Year's art for 2023, but got pushed to Friday the 13th because I both started on it too late and was too slow to finish it. 😅

As linked in the original post though, the silver lining was that the extra time made it possible for me to put together a time lapse video for this one:

Happy Friday the 13th Sparklers! 👻

What happens when you forever have Winx Club on the brain & watch the Twilight Zone New Year’s Marathon? This, apparently. 😝

And who better to take us to the 5th dimension than Mirta, the Fairy of Illusions? 😉

If you think your eyes deceive you, I’ve got both a Time Lapse for this piece over on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-QjMq-Yuuqs

And a typed-up process description on DeviantArt: https://sta.sh/0s98gvgj0lo

Cobalt Kobolds, Blue Kobolds or Koblues are various names of a rare species of Kobolds who for enigmatic reasons have leanings towards the energy of the Fae Realm or ties to Fairy Dragons. Their scales are a vibrant Blue color, not quite like the Chromatic Blue Dragon, they almost resemble the shiny iridescent color of Cobalt Quartz crystals in color. Their ears and tail are also distinct features that separate them from other Kobolds. They have large ears which greatly resemble Butterfly or Fairy Wings, featuring unique patterns that may be used to identify individuals and Eyespots which may serve a role in intimidating or deterring predators. Their tails give off a constant faint blue ghostly glow which trails magical wisps like fire making them stand out in their dark environment, some travelers have reported what were likely a large group of Cobalt Kobolds making a tree appear to be ablaze with ghostly blue flames without burning. Rather than trying to go for camouflage, they have taken more of an aposematic coloration approach using their coloration to warn aggressors and predators  that attacking or eating them is a bad idea. Like other Kobolds, they tend to dwell in tight knit horde communities with strong social order, and can be found mostly within dark and wild places of the world like dense forest floors and dark caves. While they are very capable climbers they seem to be most comfortable on the ground and digging burrows in the earth either within caves or under large trees. They are diligent workers, who tend to be content when left to their own devises, however they are also clever and industrious little inventors with an inclination towards mischief, which is perhaps enhance by their Fae Dragon connections. They love to build things for the main purpose of messing with travelers who pass through their territory. These traps are more meant to annoy and frustrate travelers rather than actually cause them physical harm like a chest that releases smelly gas when opened. They like to see travelers be surprised and laugh at their misfortune, but If the traveler is a good sport about being pranked, they may receive a boon and be welcomed next time they pass by the Kobold’s territory or led by the Cobalt Kobolds to an area of value. Cobalt Kobolds can also be appeased with offerings and gifts, returning the favor in kind, though sometimes this just means they are going to stealing from somebody else. However particularly poor sport and violent travelers deeply offend Cobalt Kobolds, and they have a long memory for people they hate. They tend to try not to directly confront targets, but will cause “accidents” to happen around them. They also have a special trick for people they particularly don’t like being able to poison metal objects with a touch. Sometimes if they are trying to escape a dangerous pursuer, they will drop a pouch that contains poisoned Golden coins to distract them, and then regroup to gang up on them while they are weak.

Sometimes I think of Amy Pond, who grew up being called mad by those who wielded the word as a tool of exclusion and shame —

Amy Pond, who though forced into the hands of four psychiatrists, still clung to that which they called madness until those systems which elevate psychosocial conformity above humanity stripped it from her —

Amy Pond, whose imaginary friend reappeared for a single hour after twelve years and reignited that faith before disappearing for two more years —

Amy Pond, who spent those those two years under the same implicit threat ingrained in her through psychiatric violence, and thus began to believe the man who stopped the invasion was “just a madman with a box,” only for him to agree, and to also call her “mad, impossible Amy Pond,” reframing madness as non-negative for the first time in her life —

Amy Pond, who ignored the disembodied voice of her imaginary friend even as she ran away with him for real, who still lived each day with the traumatic internalization of deviancy dictated upon her by the psychiatric-industrial complex that shaped her from childhood —

Amy Pond, who wouldn't acknowledge the Doctor's voice, such that it took an Angel in her eye that was literally killing her to ensure she couldn't reality check herself —

Amy Pond, who stood before a room which muttered about “the psychiatrists we brought her to,” and though afraid, escaped their rigid parameters of acceptable existence.

No one should care but ive been thinking about it and my take is that the root of the walrus/fairy question is one specific word used by the original poll: "surprised". The question is not which would change your worldview or which is more/less possible to really happen. The question is which *surprises* you more. To me, this means which causes a stronger immediate surprise reaction in you upon opening that door. In essence, how bad do you flinch?

This, to me, is why so many people (including myself!) choose Walrus. A walrus is an immediate situation! That's an animal larger and stronger than you are, one that I would say is potentially very dangerous, that many people have never seen in real life. And now it's your responsibility and on your doorstep! A walrus on a doorstep is a novel idea, at least to me. I don't think I've ever had an animal just appear at my door, and certainly never knock. Sure, after the gut reaction dies down, the mundanity of the situation is certain; a walrus is a real animal and the perpetrator is likely nearby, laughing at the world's weirdest ding-dong ditch prank. But for a few seconds, it's just you, your expectations upon opening a door, and a pinniped of unusual size.

Now let's examine the fairy; The term can be vague, but I think most people imagine a generally humanoid but very small creature with insect wings. First off, by being small, the fairy will likely not trigger a defensive response, unlike the walrus. This thing is not an immediate threat, at least to your subconcious. Also, by being humanoid, usually with a very human face and features, this changes the situation from "strange beast on my doorstep" to "strange person on my doorstep". Obviously this may be different from person to person, but I think "strange small person on my doorstep" would illicite much weaker response from my flight or fight reflex than a large, strange animal. This is nothing to say about the familiarity most people have with fantasy and fantasy ideas, and the lack of familiarity most people have with walrus' in general, but I think those are also factors.

What's it like when you're not summoned to help? Do you feel the passage of time? Do you appear and know how much time has passed or is it like blinking and an unknown amount of time has gone by?

"Oh I feel every passing second of time when I'm 'put away'."

"Like some toy in a chest."

"Waiting for it to be opened again."

"..."

"Least I can sleep as long as I want!"
