Happy Lantern Rite!
[click image for better quality]
-lore rant under cut-
HOLY FUCK I HATE SHADING
Okay if you haven’t guessed by now or just don’t care, these three are the aged-up versions of the little pirate gang in Liyue Harbor. Little Fei(left), Little Lulu(middle), and Little Meng(right). (From the Pirates! Argh! achievement)
This is obviously years later when they’re young adults. The trio are still best friends, but their new occupations make it so they can’t meet up often. However, they will always be together during one of Liyue’s most important events: The Lantern Rite. These three will find a way to spend the festival together no matter what. Their favorite tradition is to walk around the harbor eating fried lotus root and fish smothered in Xiangling’s favorite Jueyun chili sauce while looking at the lanterns.
Here’s some extra stuff about the outfits because I can’t shut up about anything
Lulu is a fairly levelheaded girl. She has a good grasp on her people skills and knew from a young age what she likes and dislikes. When Ying’er eventually quit the Scent of Spring and opens her own perfumery, Lulu immediately lands herself an apprenticeship working there. Not only is she an excellent sales employee and negotiator, but Lulu is also invaluable when perfecting Ying’er’s more ambitious recipes. She has a delicate nose that is perfect for creating unusual and rare fragrances and a sharp mind that’s constantly churning out ideas on improving business.
She markets herself well and connects to new clients easily so they get the most out of their shopping experience. Ying'er is delighted to teach her the tricks of the trade and is quick to send Lulu on home visits to their wealthier clientele when she feels Lulu is ready. Lulu becomes well-versed in high society because of this. She had worked with Yanfei and Keqing on more than one occasion when their shop was hired to prepare self-care gifts for important guests who frequent Yujing Terrace. Lulu stayed in Liyue, but despite that, she could welcome any diplomat from any nation with no issue. Who knew that becoming a perfumer would lead to her joining the cutthroat world of socialites?
The thing is, Lulu draws on past experiences as inspiration for creating new recipes. She journals about interesting experiences or strange materials so she can look back through her notes when she needs them later. This is reflected in her design, which is the least complicated and changes very little from her original design in the game. Lulu keeps a strong hold on her childhood memories, which affects how she dresses and presents herself. Some socialites scoff at her simple dress and willingness to get her hands dirty, but Lulu has never minded a word they say. She works at a perfume shop, but she doesn't own one. Yet. How can they expect her to stay perfectly neat and tidy all the time? And prettier dresses would just get ruined.
Meng is actually the most stubborn one in the group. If Lulu knew how to read people, and Fei was the quieter one, Meng was the one who was bullheaded and stuck in his own world. This is obvious in the game when the two boys get into a fight about who got to be captain for their pirate play. It was mentioned Meng got to be captain a lot, while Fei never got a chance. Of course, he didn't mean any harm; they were kids, after all. But Meng finally got the chance to grow out of this phase when his father was approached with a business proposal. With it came the opportunity to go to Sumeru!
Still fairly young at this point, Meng's friends help him prepare for his journey. They're upset but promise to stay in touch until Meng returns, whenever possible. He researches endlessly so they're prepared for anything, and discovers a love for learning on the trip. He and his father meet Tighnari in Gandharva Ville, and the Forest Watcher guides them through the Avidya Forest. Tighnari quickly becomes Meng's new role model, and from this point onward, he was determined to help people just like the archer did. He absorbs things like a sponge, buying books from every stop they make and mailing them back to himself in Liyue Harbor. His father's work with mushrooms and other materials led him to take an interest in nature. The stop in Qingyang village was just the nail in the coffin.
Meng learns about people's steps to produce the high-quality teas his father loves so much. It's an interesting process, but the workers always have cracked and damaged hands. There isn't enough healing salve to go around, they explain. It's too expensive, and we can't make our own since the ingredients are rare. When Meng returns to Liyue Harbor, he studies up for the entrance exams and wins a scholarship to the Akademiya. Throughout his time at the school, he frequently takes up research projects that let him visit home. His experiments focus on providing affordable medications that can be bought or made no matter which region you were in. This mix of Liyue and Sumeru's Akademiya is reflected in his design. It's an intense mix of both the merchants of Liyue and the professors of Sumeru. He mostly travels in between those two nations, so his outfit is only influenced by those two nations. He's very put together and neat, wearing pants and minimizing accessories so he can work at the drop of a hat.
Fei always wanted to go to sea. Liyue is a nation of gold and history. Every rock and flower has a story to tell, and he felt like there were endless things to discover. The sea was just as mysterious, and he wanted to travel across those blue depths. In the game, it's obvious he looks up to Captain Beidou and wants to be a pirate captain like her. As the trio hits puberty, Fei's confidence grows, and he focuses his attention on learning how to be a sailor. Manager Xiao takes him under his wing (after some begging), and Fei flourishes in the dockyard. He teaches Fei about the finer points of dockyard maintenance and how to complete the paperwork for certain orders. Wrench Wang and Hammer Li show him the physical side of the job, like repairing leaks quickly when you're taking on water or how to align a keel the right way.
Eventually, Manager Xiao dies, so he's out of the job. Fei bounces around from ship to ship, eager to make himself useful. He learns to haul in crabs and fish for Uncle Gao and Uncle Sun, how to tar ropes and prepare sails from Captain Wei, how to preserve large batches of food from Chef Mao, manage resources even when he's at sea from Gou San'er and Ms. Yu, file the right permits for foreign merchants like Ivanovich, and Shitou and Bolai hire him to import precious goods. Uncle Tian shares his secret tricks for fishing, although Jiawei argues the advice is all wrong. Fei even helps Reekwind find his missing spear, which is a miracle in itself. Fei makes himself invaluable to his fellow seamen and traveling merchants, just like his two friends have done in their chosen professions.
His ability to work at any station on a ship has taken Fei all over Teyvat. He earns himself an electro vision like his idol, Captain Beidou, and becomes one of the youngest pirate captains in Liyue history. All this is reflected in his design. Fei wears bits and pieces from all the (currently available) nations of Teyvat. He's hung out with the Eremites, learned Inazuman fishing techniques, imported dandelion wines from Mondstadt, and still finds time to visit home regularly to see his friends. He's adorned himself with gold and small jewels-he is a pirate-and makes a pretty penny delivering extremely fresh produce. (Well, that's what it says on the legal documents. Sometimes the Qixing hire him to...dispose of other pirates or Fatui boats.)
In the end, the little pirate gang, who used to play around the ships all day, grows up to be some of the most influential people in the world of merchants. Lulu inherits Ying'er's store and spearheads a new line of beauty products shipped across Teyvat (at an affordable price, of course.) Ningguang recommends them personally, which definitely helped the process.
Meng graduates from the Akademiya with top marks and becomes famous for his research and humanitarian efforts. He revisits well-known medicinal formulas and recipes to improve their effectiveness, makes new compounds using common materials such as sweet flowers or mushrooms so they're available to everyone, and establishes both disaster relief and learning programs in multiple cities. (Because as long as the Traveler is around, Teyvat will need both programs to guarantee a good future.)
Fei never reaches the same heights of public infamy that Beidou does, but instead establishes a small fleet of new transport ships that are faster than a swordfish. Only the Waveriders, which are not made for long-distance travel, can compare. Fei holds a monopoly over several parts of the underground markets, which would get him arrested or captured if he didn't have extensive information about every shady merchant he ever worked with. :) If the other unsavory types wanted to land his ass in jail, he was taking them with him. Due to this iron grip and vast reach, Fei had no issue delivering materials to his friends or taking care of the dirty sides of their businesses. Whether they actually knew about that last part or not didn't matter.
All three leave behind a vast legacy that is continued for generations to come, benefitting Teyvat as a whole. The Traveler just wished they could play 'pirates' with the group one last time, but sometimes life gets in the way. All the Traveler could do was visit their graves, leaving blooming lotus blossoms behind as an apology.
Sometimes immortality was a curse.

Only you could accomplish such art, Celebrimbor
Assad Zaman as Celebrimbor from JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales
#celebrimbor#the silmarillion#tolkien#noldor#assad zaman#unfinished tales#tolkien elves#my art#assad zaman I will draw you as all the elves#clip studio paint#yes i gave him the ring inscription halo motif#i like to imagine his expression is very haunted here#as though this is the moment when he understands what annatar is and whats happened#he's hearing the verse in his mind he hears the voice of sauron#and he understands#you feel me?#for anyone unfamiliar this character is not a villain i just like the moody lighting 😔

I think it’s hilarious that Angeal and Sephiroth first meet during what feels like the setup to a horror movie. sephiroth and angeal’s blair witch project adventure
#ff7#ff7ec#sephiroth#angeal hewley#alissa goldie#ever crisis#my art#final fantasy 7#ffvii#they explored some haunted ruins and met an unfamiliar girl and also decided to fistfight an old guy for his really cool sword#just normal teenage military things#also hi alissa I find you extremely suspicious and I can’t wait to find out what your deal is#bachman gives me side character in a horror movie vibes and we all know he doesn’t come out of this adventure intact#I need the next chapter of episode 2 already

I still don't understand how Disney wants me to believe these are all the same guy
#Tron#My favorite character that I don't know how to fucking draw#Every fanart gives him a new look he's the man of a thousand faces#You have middle aged tron#28 year old Alan Bradley clone tron#28 year old fucked up program that only ressembles Alan a little tron...#Tron uprising#Tron 1982#Tronblr#Tron evolution#Hot take his face in evolution is my favorite#Tron legacy#Trob hyperfix hitting like a freight trein god save me#Unfamiliar with how tumblr images work if this uploads and it looks like shit not my fault#I know I'm yapping but I like the idea of him reassembling Alan only a little a lot#Stripped of his name#And on top of that by translating him into another system his friend Flynn took away Alan's likeness in tron

simultaneously wanting to cry out "HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE ME HERE" and "NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN"
aka what happens if you combine prime!sonic (sweetest boy) and fof!tails (most traumatized boy)
bonus: HE DOESN'T KNOW
#sonic the hedgehog#miles tails prower#starved eggman#sonic prime#unbreakable bond#if they look weird: i am teaching myself to draw sonic characters. i cant. im learning. pwease be kind. peace signs#i dont really play f/n/f and am nt particularly into sonic/exe#i mean i have an appreciation for it as a sonic fan when i was a kid. but there werent really different 'versions' of sonic/exe#people remade it and there were spinoffs (like sallyexe) but im unfamiliar with the new sonic/exe lore lolsies#but i saw starved eggman and i was kinda entranced... esp with the tails from this universe.#couldnt handle it for too long. need my boy to have his brother around. take a hug kid#also would be very funny for modern sonic to DECIMATEEEE starved eggman.#'you really do smell like rotten eggs in this world huh🤣egghead' 'sonic thats because he is filled with the flesh of our comrades.' 'What.'#real talk i dont think prime sonic becausehes sooo sensitive esp compared to other sonics could handle the starved universe.#he needs tails in this world as much as tails needs him.#but hed have to go home eventually right...? i dont want to think abt that#im super into sonic lately... the first thin i draw is this huh#my nyart

what do you think about the charters (Nico, Percy and others) using mobility aids? (Especially after all the wars, fights, and other general injures they've probably got over the years)
I may be biased as someone who uses mobility aids, but I definitely think more demigods should have mobility aids in general. Nico in particular definitely could use it with how often he collapses and with how he generally exhibits some symptoms of low blood pressure at the very least if not POTS or EDS. I'm particularly biased to drawing him with my own crutches, lol (they have knee rests!!!!).
Also I always love seeing Grover with crutches. He was introduced as having a muscular disease - i know that's implied to be just cause he's actually a satyr, but also he's the only satyr to be described as "walking like every step hurt." So give him crutches!!!! He needs them!!!
I dont have any particularly strong opinions for other characters, except maybe usually giving Leo a prosthetic leg so he can thematically match his dad and sometimes crutches alongside that, and my friends and I have talked about Jason using a rollator before, particularly in Jason Lives!AUs. But regardless I always love discussing comorbidity between various other conditions and disabilities with ADHD and dyslexia and a not insignificant number of those comorbidities may require mobility aids. Functionally demigods are kind of more like intensive athletes with magic healthcare, and very few are on the level of like Nico where they've been through the wringer so much that it has lasting effects on them - actually very few in general seem to get a lot of physical damage that doesn't get healed quickly (i think in part cause most campers don't actually go on quests). mostly just psychological damage - so i don't think every demigod would need mobility aids, but like statistically there should probably be more just given the comorbidity stuff to begin with. Everybody who's come back from the dead should probably have more going on with them though imo.
#ask#Anonymous#pjo#riordanverse#headcanon#headcanons#eds nico#disabled nico#disability#I WANNA TALK ABOUT DEMIGOD ADHD/DYSLEXIA COMORBIDITY!!!!!#i will say though as much as i love nico with mobility devices sometimes the fandom gets weird about it :(#i think mostly cause the fandom infantilizes nico a lot to begin with as an autistic/disabled character#(or at least more visibly disabled than his peers)#also i think just most of the fandom is unfamiliar with mobility devices in general and just kind of randomly throw stuff at him#(really the fandom is just kind of unfamiliar with disability topics in general and has some bad habits/oversights because of it)#(even when it comes to just adhd/dyslexic/etc stuff the fandom can lean pretty ignorant and etc which is kind of ironic)#ftr if people want explanations of stuff i am perfectly willing to talk about mobility devices and other medical stuff/assistive things#and how i think those would relate to pjo or specific characters within my realm of knowledge

I'd probably have to read the printed version and web version back to back at some point to note all the differences but... ough
#sorry i'm going to be excited about this comic for the next month#nofna#okay having finished this now--#and sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone who's completely unfamiliar with this comic in advance-#the 'popcorn ending' (printed version) is nice to see but i think the web version hits harder. if that makes sense#so i'm kinda tied on which ending i 'prefer'- i think both are good though#also considering i've read the web version a good 4-5 times and the printed version only once- i probably can't make that judgement yet#easy answer- i do like Nutsedge :] so it's nice to see the ending where nothing bad happens to her#but also- NT suddenly becoming a greenie-esque villain out of nowhere felt a little jarring#as well as SV suddenly turning a corner and becoming a 'good guy' (arguable)- considering the first three books are about#/him being too stubborn to change or accept any outside worldviews . Him suddenly coming to his senses felt out of place#<- probably biased because i like characters being bitter to the end and ultimately destroyed by their own hubris#the web version is probably‚ objectively‚ a bit better#but -#(spoilers- if you're planning to drop ~70 bucks on getting these books)#the conceit of SV actually perfecting his style‚ using it once‚ and then immediately getting tooth-brained- was pretty cool#assuming it's meant to parallel him spending months tormented by trying to perfect it while something's still missing-#and then dying before he can narrate it to the audience‚ so that we never know what he figured out.#hard to articulate these thoughts but tl;dr- popcorn ending also had a lot to think about

Rosemoth's mothtastic new look!
#Roseth#rosemoth#myart#Extant Universe#character design#Nov 2024#using the external keyboard is so weird because it's so familiar yet so unfamiliar#like I hated the flatness of laptop keys but... I got used to it#I still like the clink clank of a good keyboard#but enough of that Rosemoth is now named Roseth#seth for short#I feel like this was the best course to take for his new design

you know, I think neji would enjoy playing dnd. getting to write stories and play characters with no limitations, and having to improv with the other players because he would never have full control of where the story was headed? it would be a dream come true, and also therapeutic. neji would of course be the dm who would "yes and" anything his players want to do. the story would be something everyone has input on and would help shape. an adventure that neji himself couldn't predict or write on his own. also, just imagine him describing his setting and doing all his character voices, he'd love that so much
I think it would be a good exercise for quartz too, because they'd have to make their own characters and backstories and roleplay in character without a script to direct them. especially to kisa "transparent vessel" tachibana, who can act out any character but is afraid of letting herself be seen through them. similarly, kai as well, since he'd be in charge of his own character instead of propping someone else up
on the flip side, fumi would get to enjoy playing a character but not having the pressure to be the lead/spotlight of a story. he's there to play, not perform
sou would also LOVE dnd. I think he'd be really into the character creation and lore, and is probably the next person I can think of who can try being the dm when neji is sick/tired/wants to be a player. he's the player who takes down notes and remembers one small detail neji mentioned four sessions ago that becomes relevant to the current session. neji loves him because sou is the one who appreciates his world building the most
suzu and fumi would instigate so much in the adventure, which neji would love. suzu makes a character everyone loves (like hachipochi) and always brings snacks to the table
fumi has read all of the player handbook, and mitsuki has read maybe a quarter of it (only the relevant parts to his character and how some dice rolls and combat work). mitsuki is also the one who doesn't put much effort into his character's backstory but unexpectedly gets big character development during the adventure, surprising everyone in the table including both the dm and himself
otori is very good at both roleplaying and combat, has created a compelling character, and tries to go on solo adventures but eventually gets roped into the party because he can't adventure alone in neji's setting
#mine musings#liveblogging jj#jack jeanne#this would also be like. a way less stressful way for them to practice improv than anything neji makes them do for the class lol#theater kids enjoying dnd? tale as old as time#i am unsure of everyone's classes except for kisa. kisa would be the bard. sou is probably a wizard#i like the idea of kai choosing warlock because then he'd have a patron to play off of#but neji forces him to roleplay more and exercise agency by making his patron unpleasant to be with lmao#i have no idea what fumi would be because like. if this was acting he'd be a high charisma character. but he's here to play not perform#i think the class closest to his natural self would be sorcerer but idk maybe he wants to do something different when playing#like... rogue. it's so un-fumi-like but it would be fun for him i think precisely because it's not like him#suzu is the one most unfamiliar with the rules so he chooses fighter/barbarian. he's very good nonetheless#also we need a melee character here or someone with high str lol#and suzu would enjoy being the athletic character who brings victory to the team#mitsuki looks at everyone's character sheets. sighs. chooses cleric because SOMEONE has to be the healer in the group :/#but he also likes being the support to everyone so it works out#just like with kai. neji makes mitsu roleplay more by making him frequently engage with his deity of choice#idk what otori would choose but i like the idea of him being a paladin. i think that suits him#neji is usually the dm but when he's the player he can be anything. he has the same problem as fumi#but while fumi chooses a character different from himself. neji would just go full eccentric#so maybe a druid who keeps changing to different animals. or an artificer with weird/creative inventions#actually i think sou would be a good dm for a neji who wants to play artificer. he'd be intimidated at first but he can roll with it

#omg i fucking finally. finished my goth fam oneshot#IT KICKED MY ASS SO HARD ON GOD#wow that was hard to both brainstorm and write. but i'm very proud of it and can't wait to post#i have ONE MORE one piece thing i wanna finish before i fully start tpg 49 but it should take me much less time#the main characters in it come much more naturally to me#well. i guess mihawk also does since i've written like 25k of his pov....elsewhere#but that fic ain't for the kiddies so i haven't posted about it here. sorry sorry#but idk i haven't written zoro or perona before and it's a really emotionally heavy situation. hard to keep them all in character#for the gravity of it + the unfamiliarity of writing them#but it's done and will be thrown into the world imminently. look forward to it

#to clarify for anyone unfamiliar with the us legal system bc the game itself gets it wrong: law licenses are state by state#and montana and georgia specifically have different bar exams#and multiple characters refer to him being a lawyer in the past tense.#which i think could allowably mean ‘‘before the reaping’’ or that it’s no longer his *primary* occupation#but i think ‘‘before he came to hope county’’ is more straightforward#and while i certainly think he was de facto operating as legal counsel for the cult and characters mention him doing so#most of what he was doing wasn’t anything that would require he actually be a lawyer#like he was just doing bribes and threats and negotiations any old guy could do that.#i don’t think his ass ever stood up in a court of law in montana and entered his appearance on a case.#and there would be several reasons he wouldn’t want to draw the heat of submitting to a fresh character and fitness exam to be admitted#(i do not acknowledge the dlc as canon but i begrudgingly admit it supports my argument here)#anyways.#this could be a fandom settled discussion i just missed. but people (including myself) often refer to him as a lawyer in present tense#so i am curious how many of us mean that as in literally licensed in montana#john seed#only polite discourse please

Look, I know this is very random but thinking about Manson and his Shetland origins brought me back to this video concerning Shetlandic/Shetland dialect, and I thought perhaps others might be interested to see it too.
It features Christine De Luca, who not only has an incredibly lovely, mellifluous voice but is also a celebrated poet who was made Edinburgh's Makar in 2014 and has long been an advocate for Shetlandic.
#Not Terror#But slightly relevant and very interesting I think#I'm always wary of saying so because I certainly don't want to erase or downplay fictional-Manson's intellectual disabilities#But the idea of his speech and origins playing into and influencing other's perceptions of him is absolutely fascinating to me#And is something I've been rotating in my mind for a long time#It's not hard for me to imagine individuals within prejudiced Victorian society dismissing or belittling Manson#Simply because of him communicating in speech and dialect that would be so unfamiliar and perhaps even impenetrable to them#This is what I mean when I say the accents and language and geographical origins are important in terms of character#Anyway please enjoy this lovely video of this lovely lady with her lovely voice#And imagine Magnus Manson speaking in a similarly lovely fashion#Peace and love#Youtube

Stale, self-critical, and needlessly bitchy take BUT AUs are no good unless they preserve the aspects of the characters that made the pairing so compelling in the first place. Otherwise literally go and write a piece of original fiction and spare me having to scroll past it. It's not even a case of "he would not fucking say that" at that point and more of a "who the fuck even is that?" and it's annoying
#i say this as someone who writes So Many very specific niche AUs that nobody cares about#but like the fun of an AU is seeing what the characters will do if put in an unfamiliar situation#like I'm fucking sorry but Ghost would never be a hot farmers market daddy#it completely obliterates every recognizable thing about his character#Geralt of Rivia on the other hand would ABSOLUTELY be a hot farmers market dad#and putting him in such a situation is both believable and compelling#like its 100% not that deep and write whatever you want obviously and I'm also super guilty of this too

10/10 manga for pulling a “we’ll defeat you with the power of friendship!!” “That’s… incredibly ignorant of you. I’m significantly more powerful, whether or not you have friends won’t impact this fight”
#this IS the best manga I stand by that forever#I know I vaguepost about it every few months but it just. keeps getting better#I am so emotionally invested in this#[spoiler]’s really out here being like “you fools. I am all powerful. Your group of like 8 friends cannot harm me”#He is genuinely such an interesting and compelling character#Such a unique character#honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character like him in any media#Admittedly he’s not my favorite character. Not even my favorite in this manga.#But he’s just so strikingly unique#Just. The whole character progression of bullied outcast with a heart of gold —>dead(?)—> jk not really—>minor antagonist—> main antagonist#And you absolutely never see it coming#Because when he’s reintroduced as a minor antagonist you’re like “oh that’s interesting. That’s an interesting little twist”#And then as the story progresses and things become more and more intense#And suddenly HE’S the one who’s hunting the protagonists HE’S the one who’s actively trying to kill them#For those unfamiliar with this I feel like it’s important to clarify there was never some betrayal twist#As in he was genuinely a really good person at the start#And it’s a very very gradual shift#Because even when he’s reintroduced as an antagonist it’s all very understandable on his end#He’s a good guy he’s been through a lot but is making the best of his circumstances#Until he isn’t until things go too far#Just auuughh it;s so good
