And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.
#ffxiv#sketch#wol#meteor survivor#zenos yae galvus#adventurer zenos#oh no#its the consequences of his actions#everything is fine until the only man on the star you care about looks at you with the same contempt your father did#(Meteor's not doing it intentionally- its a reflex after he comes back for quite a bit)#and zenos is getting bodied because its been a while since... you know... him being able to really feel anything at all#and no- its not him regretting anything that had to do with varis- just him regretting the thought meteor could look at him like that#little does Meteor know he's emotionally bodying the man he's trying to be cordial with#its a little okay because in how I write adventurer zenos this serves as one of his main wake-up calls to make some changes#and realizing both the mistakes he's made with meteor and that meteor hating him in any way is actually -not at all- what he wants#but not okay on the end that every time meteor does this he has to watch zenos actively dissociate right in front of him#until zenos just kinda autopilots and walks away#the second time (or perhaps third) in the last 11 years that zenos has felt regret to any major capacity-#on meteor's end I just enjoy seeing the progression of the WoL through subtext#and why meteor is willing to even entertain the idea despite how much he hates zenos- his decisions and the path he's walked#is the realization that there is high chance that he could actually be a direct catalyst for zenos' growth#and the realization the wol has that they were the only one zenos has ever genuinely reached out to#besides- i just like the idea of having your equal other half fighting back to back with you- or being able to handle threats you cant#and i find their dynamic neat- of meteor not forgiving zenos but giving him his last chance- and growing to enjoy being around him#and zenos being able to work on moving past being the weapon or the monster- finding the connections he's longed for#and giving himself purpose to finally truly just live- for him to learn to experience and have the freedom to find what he enjoys#(and curiously him having estinien's brand of accidently helping people even in StB gives me ideas...)#but enough tag ranting- ill get to zenos' actual adventuring in another post lol

wip posting just to get something out there, and it's def a mixed bag!! the only thing more inconsistent than my posting schedule is my art style RIP
#wip#yapping below#1. sinnohtrio group pic where nothing bad has happened yet... dedicated sinnoh post coming soon#2. personalizing dawn and lyra's togekisses with different coloring and markings based on region. there's lyra's omelette :]#3. timeskip red and leaf except it's just pikachu#4. top left is all the assets i made for my cs final project! a little cherrim themed browser game#then there's sprites for my champion dawn; cool concept methinks but it's definitely a work in progress. peep the giratina hairclips#some vaugely lugia/ho-oh inspired protag ideas for a hgss sequel#anddd a bunch of background doodles. goldenrod flower shop and a very saturated mt. silver#in timeskip there shall be a proper town at mt. silver's base to officially bridge kanto and johto (and make lyra's work commute easier)#5-7 is me spitballing ideas abt pokemon biology#dratini & dragonair are forever sea snakes to me!!! though i do enjoy the amphibian interpretations#also i didn't know dragonite island was already a thing from pokeani... rip wyverse dragon master lore#i think crobat looks goofy no matter how you stylize it. silver and his big bumbling bat that insists on grooming its trainer. so unserious#there's a togekiss page too but then i remembered egg groups are a thing so i'm revising parts of it#i spent so long trying to come up with a reasonable wing-to-body ratio for togekiss and crobat. literally useless when dragonite can#apparently fly around the globe in 16 hours. are you Kidding me. dragons weren't even merging with jet planes until gen 3.#OK that is all. sorry for the lack of uploads wah#i'm like a ferret hoarding all my doodles until the quantity > quality lever switches in my brain to give the 👍 to post#i did made a spam blog but who knows if i'll actually post on there lol! probably for non-pkmn related stuff

Hi! I hope you’re doing well!!
I have just realised that we hardly ask you anything in terms of lore so I was wondering do you have any headcanons for the ghost au that you are looking forward to draw? Or is there something an anon has sent in that has brought you immense joy regarding the au?
Thank you for the time you put in for the artwork! Don’t apologise for how long you take, your enjoyment of creating this au comes first!
AAAAHHHH that's so kind of you nonnie o(TヘTo)!!
truth is i do have quite a bit of asks asking about the lore of the haunted au! which i'm so very thankful for and looking forward to replying to them! but i'm very slow and it's taking me way too much time to get to them OTL
as it is i have several pieces on the back burner that i hope you guys will like! i absolutely adore every single ask i get so i can't really choose one in particular but you guys are so much funnier than me about my own au sometimes i can only hope i do justice to the things you send me akjshdjksad
there is one (1) joke i am excited to finish drawing and it's so dumb and not even that funny but it makes me laugh so you're gonna have to suffer through it i apologize in advance (/▽\)
#hey i got an ask#Anonymous#again thank you so much for your kind words nonnie i cannot tell you how happy this ask made me when i saw it#and i'm sorry i've been silent this week! i've been working on a piece for the baby orion au that turned out a bit more time consuming#than i expected it to but i'm finally doing some real progress on it!#tho i might take a break to finish the more simple piece i got almost done so i can post something these next few days ╯︿╰

CarlottaStudios's Unhinged Kaeya Lore Thoughts Post
Link to read the Google Doc:
AT LAST!!! TUMBLR KAEYA NATION, BEHOLD, THE NONSENSE THAT HAS BEEN OCCUPYING MY KAEYA-DEDICATED BRAINPAN FOR MONTHS!
Quick disclaimer/warning: This document is LONG, it's almost 50 pages, so please don't feel pressured to read the whole thing, especially not in one shot. Also, I have included some disclaimers at both the beginning and end, including the fact that I am not an expert in any of the stuff I've written about in this document and if I have made any mistakes, I apologize, feel free to offer corrections, so long as we're all nice to each other. That said, I don't plan on adding substantially more to this document (ex: a new section) as this isn't and was never meant to be The Kaeya Lore Fodder Post of all time. This is just me taking my lore/theory-adjacent thoughts on Kaeya and yeeting them into the void to see if anyone else is interested.
Speaking of interested persons, a few people have expressed interest in this and even asked me to tag them, which is INCREDIBLY flattering and touching (seriously, thank you so much), so I'm tagging them here: @thenerdhoard @eternal-dokja @prophecyflame @mosamosa3pakosh
I plan on eventually making a mindmap to go along with this word document, but that will be for another day because this was already quite a big project to undertake and I need some rest. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!
#genshin impact#kaeya alberich#I didn't end up getting this done before the end of the year but I wasn't too far off!#I just made a slight alteration today because of update 5.3's revelations about capitano#I won't spoil them in the tags here#but capitano's real name is revealed here in the doc#so if you're avoiding spoilers be aware of that and maybe complete the natlan archon quests first#I can't believe I finally finished this I'm so happy#this is what happens when I take a break from playing genshin I actually make progress on stuff I wanna do#I do genuinely hope the kaeya theorists get some inspiration or new ideas from this doc#not just because I put a lot of effort into this but also because some of these thoughts and ideas are ones I've had for AGES#and yet I couldn't really find anyone else talking about them#which was surprising to me and also sad because I thought they were so evident?#like kaeya's backstory paralleling king arthur's and lord krishna's#and kaeya spying on the abyss order to take them down from the inside#and setaria from the sumeru archon quest being a direct parallel to kaeya#and I think all of those are worth considering#here's to hoping they get considered now!#but in all seriousness I just hope people get some enjoyment out of this#if just one person in the kaeya nation reads this and tells me they liked it I'll be happy#alright I'll stop now before I reach the tag limit again

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972)
"Come children, Uncle Alan's going to curdle your blood."
"Uncle Alan already does. Turns my stomach, too."
#children shouldn't play with dead things#1972#horror imagery#horror film#bob clark#american cinema#alan ormsby#valerie mamches#jeff gillen#anya ormsby#paul cronin#jane daly#roy engleman#robert philip#bruce solomon#alecs baird#seth sklarey#bob sherman#curtis bryant#carl zittrer#a pretty rough and ready indie horror film about a theatre troupe who fuck around with the occult (and‚ naturally‚ find out)#this hasn't a whole lot to recommend it on its own merits; it's most interesting as a formative work by filmmaker Clark‚ his first stab at#the horror genre. juat a few years later Clark would helm the superlative Black Christmas‚ sincerely one of the greatest slasher#films ever made‚ but Children... is if anything a testament to just how much his style progressed in a short span. there are moments here#that pack a visual punch‚ tbf‚ and once the dead begin to rise it improves considerably. anything with the impressive looking 'Orville'#corpse (third and final pics above) is great. the problem is more in the script‚ cowritten with star and frequent Clark collaborator Ormsby#it's a turgid mess‚ with an hour of bitchy bickering between the theatre group before anything really happens. there's some great snark in#there and it's pretty entertaining at first‚ but my god does it go on (and on) until you're willing the zombies to tear everyone to shreds#in the zombie canon this has obvious debts to Romero's NotLD as well as more traditional folklore‚ but its emphasis stays frustratingly on#the unlikeable characters and their incidental conversations rather than exploring anything more interesting.

making big strides now that I'm not crippled by pain and wanting to shout it from the rooftops but somehow feeling awful about it because I'm not doing it fast enough. #livelaughlove
#im fraid ill actually never be comfortable flaunting my progress on social media unless deranged via substances or the delerium#of plainly existing with a factory recall brain#anyway i finished the final chapter and made some incredible developmental edits and im kinda sobbing about it. per the usualllllllll#always feeling like the 'i cant hold all these limes'-guy#theres so much left to do and no victory until i have something (incredible and completely flawless) to show. thats a healthy mindset right#im going back to the mines. but if you heard a lil celebratory eep. that was me#adding delete later as a failsafe because even this vulnerability feels like an involuntary alien probe. GAH.#FRUSTRATION AND JOY AND ANGER AND HOPELESSNESS AND ALL OF IT LIKE POCKETSAND IN YOUR EYES

I just found a draft of a WIP I totally forgot I was writing when I was a teenager and it is digging its claws into me
This book is really barely more than Strong Vibes but it had a character that was raised in a more intense and even more soulless version of the peacekeepers in Farscape, like military society, kids trained from basically birth, don’t know their families, but now with Even More Brainwashing and Creepy Cultlike Stuff.
Character doesn’t even have a name or permanent numerical designation, the absolutely only identifying thing they have is a chip in their wrist that is only readable by computers and is used when assigning missions. On every mission you get a different designation number or code name. They are stripped SO completely of any sense of identity.
Character never been on a planet, never even was taught about planets in schooling or taught what a family is or anything even academically. Has no concept of gender because reproduction is completely done in a lab and no biology of any type is ever taught to the grunt soldiers.
Additionally: never heard music.
Turns out they are an absolute musical prodigy the SECOND they are introduced to music
Like off the charts August rush nonsense.
Then proceeds to have crisis after crisis about that because if I wasn’t taught this then it must be heresy, but how could anything so perfect and beautiful not be from god
#I’m certainly not going to finish writing this book but by god I wish someone would#I want to read this story#Vi isn’t even like the main character it’s very much an ensemble cast#but man that whole story line is GRIPPING me#I want to know how their life progresses#also actually READING the draft itself is so painful my teenage writing was SO BAD#but like I remember what I was picturing and conceptualizing at the time and that hypothetical scene is what I get playing in my head#despite the very cringe writing#it’s the Vibes man#there are SO MANY VIBES#I have a lot of visual sets and musical pieces and emotional beats flowing in my head about it#not a lot of words#why am I a writer#like literally fr fr why did writing become my main art form that I’m freaking compelled to do#when 98% of my ideas are visual and music#and I have no idea how to translate that to words#I started writing before I could physically WRITE.#I made little books when I was like 2 and 3 of pictures I cut out of magazines and pasted into paper and stapled together#in some order that my toddler brain understood to be a narrative#like literally why did I gravitate to writing books when words are my least skillful area#maybe because making a tv series is what I’m designed for but don’t have the budget for lol 😂#probably why exodus terminal is my longest running and most likely to be completed project#I’ve written close to a million words in Exodus (most of them not linearly connected)#whereas my MOST completed other work was 50k#most books I’ve started get something like 3k-10k total words#spread over like 5-20 disconnected scenes#before I lose motivation#writing a book series paced like a tv series is really where I’m finally getting traction#also building the exodus terminal video game is getting those Visual Art energies out of my body when I don’t have Word Energy

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.
I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.
Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D
Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!
It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!
As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!
Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),
but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--
you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!
#replies#novella november#long rambly tags to follow lol#including anti royalist / anti billionaire shit#ominous october#this is what my novella november is going to be#something that WAS a huge earth-shattering fanfic AU#but before I even got past a WIP Oneshot I'd already realized that what I was planning was going to turn canon so far on its head it would#be unrecognizable and it would be much better off and more coherent if I made it entirely original#so now it is!#not only does this involve changing every single characters name#everyone is now a completely different species other than human because thats always fun#and of course we're also tackling all the issues that had annoyed me in omega verse fics since I was like 14 and liked the#creature aspects but hated the biological essentialism and misogny / caste systems#if your fantasy people have an enforced caste system you gotta actually treat that like the horror and systemic oppression it is#not just say 'biological = right' like dude what do you think people have been saying about real women this whole time????#people literally insist women are biologically inferior to men do you really think supporting that idea is going to make you sound#progressive just because your main character is a tomboy independant woman?#also like she lost all her independence as soon as she found a man to marry so uhhhhh#what happened to being ready and willing to hit the bricks if people kept talking down to you and condescending you for being a woman????#why did you go from independant badass tomboy to fainting damsel who spends all her time worrying about failing to produce an heir#so her husband can take power#instead of just straight up telling your husband#'hey I don't want to deal with the bullshit from your father how about we do the-#- socially acceptable thing and just go off to make our own independant settlement with some of the villagers who are on your side'#like your husband would literally be escstatic about this idea of finally getting out from under his dad's tyrannical thumb#and its more like way more than half the villagers would go with you not just a handful#theyve been sick of the kings shit for years and only your husband's potential rise to rule kept them in check#cus he actually cares about the villagers and goes among them#while still clearly having some biases to work through when it comes to class and gender equality

welp that's a wrap for this year ig. it's funny i think this year would have been another oops all trigun except that whenever i got really super busy FAR too busy to make trigun art i did usually end up doodling something else lmao
december's spot is @stardvst-diving's lysithea :)
#art summary#2023 summary of art#2023 art summary#txt#honestly. i think this is the first year in a long time where i really don't feel that happy with the progress i've made with my art#like in 2020 i finally got comfortable with drawing digitally after SO MANY YEARS of chipping away at it#and 2021 i finally pinned down some stylistic choices i enjoy working with and figured out how to color#and 2022 i mostly just pushed the limits of what ''finishing'' art even looks like for me#since in the past i'd tend to leave everything pretty half baked#2023 was SUPPOSED to be the year i started into things like comics and composition and increasing dynamism#but i think mostly i just ended up hammering out more stuff in regards to color and line confidence#which are both good. i'm glad i made that progress#but it's a little disappointing i didn't finish the year with the specific takeaways i'd gone into it wanting to have#sighhhhhh maybe next year idk
