A Royal Portrait of Ren the King, a painting I made as a holiday gift for my friend @salemoleander ! This was the final thing I created in 2023. I’m excited to start making more art in 2024! ✨⚜️👑

you mentioned phoebe, now you have to dish on phoebe!! what's she doing?? what's she like as raz's roomie??

phoebe!! she's a cool kid!

i think out of all of the campers, Phoebe seems the most set on becoming a Psychonaut. she's just as passionate about it as Raz himself, and i think when they move in together she's been working a couple months as a new agent. she'd been sharing an apartment with Quentin, but after taking a year or so to think about his options he decides the Psychonauts aren't for him and goes to study music at college. so they're both young adults who have just started out on what they always thought would be their dream job... and figuring out what that actually looks like, in practice.

i think Raz and Phoebe make really good foils, because in so many ways they're so similar! they're both very passionate and dedicated people, they're both longtime performers (Raz with his acrobatics, Phoebe with her music), and obviously they both really care about the work they're doing with the Psychonauts. and that makes it a lot of fun to highlight their differences, too!

for Phoebe, her music is about expressing herself, about taking her feelings and letting them out through performance. she doesn't make art for anyone except herself. but Raz can't get over the fact that whenever he performs, it's for a crowd, and he needs people to enjoy it - because growing up, if people didn't come to their shows, they didn't eat*. he can never really get over the idea that his art has to be for someone, that it has to be good to be worthwhile.

i think they both have very strong opinions on their work, too! Raz's specialty is psychotherapy, projecting himself into peoples' minds. i see Phoebe as much more into the talking therapy side of things! they have long arguments about appropriate boundaries with patients, and hands-on vs hands-off techniques, and about how this study showed sixty percent improvement in the first session with this technique (but that study cites that the long-term benefits are less in comparison, so actually-)

in my head, there's a bit of a teething period for the first week or so when Raz moves in, and after that they just click. sometimes too-similar personalities can be like oil and water, but i think they're on a mutually compatible wavelength. they're diving into deep conversations at 1am, because they each see enough of themselves in the other person (and are both unrepentant armchair psychoanalysts) to get into the really revealing stuff. they write and record a concept album together about having a tense relationship with your family growing up, Phoebe on drums and Raz on acoustic guitar and both of them sharing the vocals. it sucks! but it's cathartic for them both! Phoebe's still got a copy of it on cassette somewhere in the back of her collection

(* the Aquato family are poor, but in my head they were never seriously at risk of going hungry. however Donatella definitely catastrophised enough times about a show going wrong and the whole family having to eat watered-down gruel for the next month that it stuck in little Raz's mind, hahaha)

It's a new year! And that means a new profile Pic and watermark!

Old versions and extra details under cut!

The biggest change is the swap from my milk-encapsuled-frog (patent pending/j) to my Sona! I decided on the swap because

It felt too branded? It didn't feel personalized or really meaningful, just an extension of my username

My Sona holds alot more of my identity, it's how I express myself in art

The frog is so hard to pose. It's literally in a milk carton and the perspective issues do not help.

How tf am I supposed to dress-up that frog in outfits, like do I put it in a different bottle?? Do I drill holes in a cola can???

I do love my froggy fellow but for now he will be retiring (maybe they'll find a hobby or start a band, they are freed from profile picture duty's to go do whatever they want).

Also I have two watermarks now! A signature and one with my Sona that's very reminiscent of my old watermark. All of my new stuff is more vibrant now to reflect alot more confidence and improvement in my art! I can't really explain the rainbowy stuff lmao, I just think it adds a bit of whimsy and looks neat.

I hope y'all enjoy the changes, they're a bit jarring but I think they're a lot more me!

So. I'm the world's biggest idiot. I accidentally deleted this post. I hate myself. Please accept my apologies. I have no brain so this is to be expected. You do not have to like this post at all if you did before, I'm just a moron. 😐 Copy and pasted below, somehow I had the foresight to leave open one of my twenty tumblr tabs so- not all dumb!

Hi everyone!!! Happy New Year!!! 🥳🥳 It's been a couple days, and I'm back with some more art!!! I have an official count on how many portraits are left: 14!! So two more weeks of some fun!! 😘

Flare (for @inkymoonbunny)

Please forgive my stupidity, Bunny. I love you 😥

FLARE!!! 🧡💛 Bunny! I LOVE YOU!!! 💕You are such an amazing person! I love your writing, your ideas that you share, your lore for Flare, heartbreaking though it is, and everything you share about her with us! I love tiefling Astarion sm, and every WIP either makes me cry or makes me feral- so THANK YOU 💜 You are so talented, so beautiful, and one of the greatest people I've met this year! I'm so glad that I met you, that we chat, and that you're so kind to me and to everyone else- I am so lucky!! 💜🫂

I am so excited for this next year of getting to know you, seeing all the pretty pictures you share of your adventures, and getting to experience all your amazing work and future stories!!! I hope you have a lovely 2025, friend!!! 💕 I hope you like this little portrait!!! 🧡

Thank you for everything, everyone!!! You've all made 2024 the best year of my life! I started BG3 on 12/31/23, and since then man, despite any bad things, so much has made this year incredible, including all of you 💕I can't wait to share more of these for those of you that haven't received a portrait yet and may not even know you'll see one- never fear! Birthday's haven't hindered portrait making, so if you haven't gotten one from me but got a birthday one, you'll see a portrait too 😉

Sorry again D:

Heyo, happy new year! I had commented on your Luca fanart the other day; I just finished The Unbroken, and had a great time with it! It was something that had sort of been on my periphery for some time, even before I read TLT, as a couple people I followed had done fanart of it. Though to be fair, I think it could have been more accurately named "Touraine and Luca make increasingly bad decisions for a few hundred pages," because every time I thought the disaster had peaked, one of them would find a way to outdo themselves, and it was spectacular xd. I've already checked out the second one from the library, we'll have to get to that soon!

OH MY GOD that’s wonderful and I 100% agree with the title :D

I was listening to the audiobooks last week and I remember getting to the night after the festival and thinking ‘ah so we now leave the fun part and get to the fucking up and then making everything progressively worse part’ but I TOTALLY forgot how bad all of that was :D

Well! I do wish you the best of luck with the faithless as it is… well I don’t think as catastrophical as the unbroken but maybe that’s just because the bar is so low after the first book :) and please do come back to let me know what you thought of it (and the end)

OH I have been working on touraine btw you might enjoy that so here you go

[thatguygeorge]

Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year’s Eve! I’ll be getting baked and playing games all night lol if you see this and wanna take a hit go for it!

Dysprosium, Mary Soon Lee

dysprosium, AN 66, is a silvery-white rare earth metal. its name is derived from the greek dysprositos, meaning “hard to get at”, owing to the difficulty in separating and isolating this rare earth element. dysprosium is used to measure neutron flux, to fuel reactors, and to activate phosphors. terfenol-d is a magnetorestrictive alloy, meaning that it changes shape when a magnetic field is applied, and is used to manufacture underwater acoustic systems.

how I felt being held back in class by my english teacher, thinking she was gonna yell at me for not doing my homework (like other teachers, mostly my english ones) and then she somehow validates me without meaning to and actually speaks kindly to me?? like I'm sorry what??? I've never had a teacher actually see right through me like that? like, holy shit.. I guess I'm actually gonna like english this year >,<
