Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

“this ship is toxic”, “that ship is canon”, guys can we please discuss other hot takes like c’mon 😭

haruka probably at one point earned enough money from her idol days that she probably considered adopting a penguin. and/or she wants to do it in the future because penguins get lonely and it’s better to adopt 2 or more, but she’s too young or busy right now

sorry it’s the middle of the night but do you think rolan deep was ever homesick ? If he couldn’t sleep at night in Chicago where the sounds of cars and trains and people kept him up. Where the lights outside his window were always too bright through his blinds, brighter than anything had been in Galloway.

If rolan couldn’t sleep without the cicadas song, missed the buzz of mosquitos and gnats. Missed the creaks of his old house and his parents snores. Do you think Rolan desperately cracks open the window only to real back in disgust. Everything in Chicago so foreign so wrong, even the air is different.

I think Rolan gets homesick for something more. For the smell of the bayou and something sickly sweet, for the smell of cheap cigarette and lighter fluid. He misses the smell of the earth and bright clear starry skies and the smell of weed and feel of rough denim. I think, late at night when Rolan in between exhaustion and anxiety, Rolan misses his friend more than anything. The feeling of exhilaration at climbing onto the Rands roof at 3 in the morning, tapping Rands window to wake him up. Sharing a cigarette that he hates the taste of, so their hands can touch his for a moment. The feeling of safety and home that he only ever felt there, sitting shoulder to shoulder with his best friend. I think Rolan gets homesick alot.

//I don't want to add this rule, but this is moreso to cover all bases. I've had to include this in all my art ToS on Vgen, so it's going here as well

I will unfollow/block if I catch you using AI in your writing/art/icons. My stance is that Generative AI has no place in any creative space and I have zero tolerance in anyone using it.  We are here to be creative. Using Gen AI defeats the purpose of that.

If you don't agree, there is an unfollow button right there. 👋

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.

no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this

Finally, I drew something

I've been thinking of Ishka since I saw her in that body suits in "Profits and Lace" and they did not have to make Quark's mom a Baddie With A Fattie ™ but godbless everyone that did

Thinking just a little too hard about how Achilles and Patroclus would of been in my Kotor AU. Thinking about how they would meet when they were both so young- alone and away from their families, growing up together across the galaxy in various enclaves and temples, always together even when apart, better together, fate had willed it.

Patroclus, sweet child of woe, just on the cusp of being too old to join the Order sent crying to the enclave, exiled before he even knew why, before he even did anything wrong. He didn't want to leave his home or his family; he adored his mother but it was necessary to. It was his family's greatest honour; A force user, a powerful one at that. Anything to rid them of a child who at such a young age could be so capable of such violent acts of murder over nothing, a game. So full of feeling and emotion, too much even. All that talk of peace and harmony and serenity will do him good, better the Orders problem then theirs.

And Achilles, who knew from the moment he opened his eyes that he was destined for greatness, the son of a former council member, a Master in her own right. He never knew a day of doubt in his life, always knowing the path he had to take, predetermined for him at birth. A prophecy that would take everything from him, how cruel the fates are even to their favourite son.

Despite everything though; despite having to hide everything real and true about themselves from their so-called found families, even being a galaxy apart on missions and posting they were still inseparable- the vast eternities of space could not keep them apart for long, they were each others heart and soul, their destinies intertwined.

Everything was perfect until one day it wasn't. An age reached, A destiny met, A war that would change everything, All predetermined, all playing out as it was destined, they were all pieces on a chessboard, everything for nothing.

Achilles reached his precipice one day, too long had he waited for greatness to find him, always hungry for more, always needing more. He went from a child so full of life and the force to a figurehead, a symbol. Everything the galaxy needed, everything it would come to fear.

The war had changed them both for the worse, Achilles was never the same, always distant, somewhere else entirely. He stopped using his name in favour of his title, then stopped all together when it stopped serving him a purpose, leaving his past and everything attached to it in the dust. The pieces of his life left discarded like old toys, parts that wouldn't fit together anymore, a life that could of never been.

It would of been better if they both died that fateful day, the universe had almost willed it into existence yet they both defied their fates, spitting on destiny, dooming themselves, borrowed time. Really, sometimes its worse if you don't die, at least death sustains something.

The heart of the force and the death of the force, forever intertwined. how cruel.

ok "shakarian is space royai" is the most galaxy-brained take i've ever heard please say more

Shakarian is space Royai. Shakarian is just Royai but in space. It's the same dynamic. (Not exactly the same, mind you, but so extremely close that it makes me go feral a little bit whenever I think about it.) It's about the trust about the vulnerability about the "you watch my back you can shoot me in the back I trust you to shoot me in the back" vs the "you trust me to watch your back that is the most precious thing to me you trust me to shoot you in the back I would never shoot you in the back". It's the sniper with extensive burn scars on their body x their extremely tired commanding officer who may or may not have committed war crimes but chooses kindness over everything in the end. It's the fucking PTSD, the tenderness in the face of an end-of-all-organic-life scenario, the "don't go where I can't follow" / "there's no Shepard without Vakarian". It's the being an unstoppable unit on the field when they're together. It's the shared trauma and the shared gentleness. Also Garrus is soooo Riza coded, even down to the fixing/modding their guns, the parallels just don't stop, whenever he calls Shepard "Commander" I just see Riza's "Colonel". Did I mention the sniper and the burn scars and the insane loyalty to their CO. Garrus Vakarian is space Riza Hawkeye, and it's so beautiful, really, then, that Shepard is space Roy Mustang. Which, yes, makes Shakarian space Royai. Mic drop.

I made another post that I'm too tired to link but imma just reblog it so it's under this one 😅

do you have any tips for like... paneling? your lil comics, if i could call them that(?) with Dave are well made (to me at least) and I'd like to get into making comics! or if you know any resources that helped you. :') - sincerely, a beginner.

sorry to be answering this so late, wanted to try and give some kinda proper advice haha so what i do is i just make my posts as long as possible so that it takes up like all of ppls dash, this means they are forced to look at it and engage with it! no ok but for real, first off this is just how i do things and by no means any sort of proper tutorial or anything, most of this is prob kinda basic and intuitive stuff, but its good to be reminded of the basics and to notice why you might be doing said things intuitively so you can start doing it intentionally so how i approach things is by picking a focus panel whats the Punchline/Emotional pay off for the page/comic? and then i try and build the rest around that for actual Comics not every page is gonna have one of those ofcourse and thats fine i tend to often have to many focus panels,,,, lmao(which is why my posts end up so long,,,,) i try to group similar panels and make them smaller, it saves space, makes it so the attention goes to the more unique panels and makes things feel more sequential(or u can do like me and have too many similar panels and think, what if i just make it an animation, its just a few extra frames right,,,?<- clueless(i have done this twice now,,, the second is still a wip,,, )) heres one of my posts deconstructed using all this, id do more of them but i dont wanna make this even longer asdsd, but i think its pretty obvious to pick up on once you know the formula lol

after that i think its mostly just clear composition and flow so things dont get confusing(like what panel(also applies to text) youre suppose to read next and such(thats easier with this cus its usually just individual panels and not full pages)) edit: oh and resources that helped me, i mostly just looked at other comics, paying attention to how the paneling was effecting the story and mood! some comics ive looked at for paneling inspo are houseki no kuni, how they play with contrast and stuff, idk theyre all just very striking, i looked at ajin at some point as well for help with some action stuff, most action shonen are also great for that 2 so yeah, just find a comic scene that has the same vibe that youre trying to get and see how they did it, finding a few and comparing and contrasting what you feel works best thats my thought process while doing stuff at least! i hope this helps at least a bit haha

I mean this vent completely neutrally and as an observation rather than Woe is Me negativity but going ham in my sketchbook has been Fun but along with not really Learning anything (tho historically no art knowledge ever sticks to my brain) I'm no closer to understanding how I WANT to draw! if that makes sense.

I dont really identify with or want to continue any of the patterns I try (nor do they get any more muscle memory-y, in the fundamentals area).

Its fine as long as its Fun but I really feel the aimlessness. Like I'll keep going but I've also. Been doing that. All I do is Keep Going, when does it all tetris together!
