I've been itching to draw folk costumes for a while now so i figured i'd jump on the international Miku trend! These Mikus are from Ternopil, Ukraine; and Tula, Russia - one for each side of my family <3
Here are the sources I used for each costume:
TERNOPIL -
youtube
TULA:
#hatsune miku#international miku#ukraine#russia#traditional clothing#folk costume#ternopil#tula#i don't know all the details about my family history or origin besides the general area each side comes from or used to live in#we can only go so far back because i come from a long and consistent line of serfs and peasants who weren't really in any written records#but in general my mother's family comes from western ukraine (specifically the ternopil region)#and my father's russian family comes from around the tula region in the south of russia? sorta?#besides that his jewish family lived in the pale of settlement in belarus today. so maybe i'll make a shtetl miku later#for now tumblr pls accept this humble offering#idk how to use a drawing tablet and i dont really want to learn. i like my colored pencils ;-;#back on my bullshit#Youtube

the idea came to me in a migraine induced dream but now im obsessed with the concept of a mu qingfang who knew the abuse bunhe was going through at the hands of og!shen qingqiu/shen jiu and did his best to treat the kid whenever he could (and bring his concerns to zhangmen shixiong, which were obviously very much ignored) and his constant worry over the situation means that when the qi deviation happens he is suspicious of shen qingqiu’s changes for all different reasons and very much protective of luo binghe -who is a sweet child and an earnest disciple who seems to always find the most incredible medicinal herbs to bring to his mu shishu as thanks for the care bestowed upon him- which means that when the whole shen qingqiu dying thing happens instead of bad mouthing luo binghe or fighting him at every chance he does his best to come over and keep an eye on things to try and help him and make sure luo binghe won’t kill himself trying to bring shen qingqiu back because he remembers that earnest kid and he’s witnessed luo binghe’s devotion to this shen qingqiu first hand and knows there is no way that the kid who cried when ning yingying found a bird with a broken wing and begged mu qingfang to fix it and the kid that would always borrow medical texts and try to find new herb combinations as if it was a game between him and qian cao disciples is actually doing anything nefarious to shen qingqiu’s corpse.
anyways in this essay i will-
#listen#binghe needs to have more people in his corner#and for some reason i have imprinted on mqf#so you get cool healer uncle#who probably smoked weed with binghe and made him promise to keep quiet#lbh and mqf bonding activity was teaching lbh to properly roll joints#anyways mqf understanding that the rituals are intricate and lqg doesn’t have any other way of coping with his grief#but the first time lqg injures lbh almost to death in a fight they get into a screaming match so violent#that no bai zhan discipline will look at him in the face without going pale for the next month#that is his nephew! who found several thought-to-be-extinct herbs for him!#also him telling sqq that lbh might have forgotten what he did but mqf certainly didn’t#a healer never forgets the wounds they heal#and sqq is just like yeah brother me neither :(#mqf is going to therapy these idiots so fucking hard#lbh also keeps trying to matchmake him with some nice demons in his court like shamelessly trying to poach his mu shishu#also he and shang qinghua are the only ones who still get the full shishu treatment#except lbh kinda bullies sqh a little for the virtue of the whole mbj situation#(hes never gonna let them live that down)#anyways it’s whatever at first but at one poont years in the future it does become a point of contempt with the other peak lords#nothing can take away from me that when bored they will squabble like children#such is the way of bored adults#i have rambled enough so normal tags now#svsss#svsss writing#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#mu qingfang#bingqiu#svsss au

guys hear me out. what if guy.... was animal
#martzipan#nagito komaeda#i was GONNA play around with other species but csp and my tablet decided to collaborate on debilitating lag#it was so bad. there was like a half second of input delay. it was so so bad#idk what's going on with that. but i sure as hell wasn't gonna keep drawing with that#so i finished/colored these n then. was done#leucism is the friend of anyone wanting to anthropomorphize komaeda. any beast can be pale now#if he were to be a canine he'd be some fucked up desert dog for SUREEEE#maned wolves fit that. plus they have those WILDDD limbs and naturally keep their tails basically tucked between their legs#incredibly komaeda-coded animal#honestly shoulda made the limbs even longer. exaggeration weee#was gonna play with a hare and a possible hyena and maybe even a secretary bird...#maybe even try to assign hinata some animals if i had the energy..#but alas. tablet said Fucka You and i was not gonna learn to anthropomorphize that many animals with lag that bad. Hell No#every now and again the little furry that lives in my head BEGSSS me to draw smth anthro#and i go 'ok little buddy here you go. eat up'#so yeagh this one was for me

Hey, so I know it's been a long time, but I suddenly felt inspired to make some Annie Cresta Picrews. So here you go & I hope you like her as much as I do.
Pre games
Parade outfit
1st Interview
Training
Games
Victory interview
District 13
Post war
#she looks paler in most of them because while I've started to like the headcannon that she could be of asian descent#i don't think the Capitol is above colourism & therefore could tottally see them doing something to Annie's skin to make it lighter#even though she's naturally tan from being out in sun a lot back in District 4#she's pale in District 13 as well but that's because after winning her games she didn't go out as much#& then obviously she was kidnapped & held hostage by the Capitol#she gets her tan back permanently after the war#also yes the cardigan is Finnick's & no i will not confirm weather she's just borrowing it or if it's her's now#god suzzane just let me live in a world where odesta are happy & safe where nothing hurts#i put all the picrews together because I'm still not sure how popular annie is (especially when not in connection to Finnick)#thg#the hunger games#picrew#annie cresta#annie cresta picrew#djarn picrew#the hunger games picrew#thg picrew#also i made her look for her victory interview lacklustre on purpose#as after her breakdown in her games i think pretty much everyone just wanted things to be over#so they could send her back to 4 as quick as possible so they could forget about her#lastly i made her face rounder to show that she is more healthy#& like she had a baby so even though i imagine she's still pretty fit due being an almost Olympic level swimmer#her body is bound to change after that#the turtle neck in the 'games' picrew is meant to be a swimsuit (similar to what the tributes wore in CF) but idk if that came across lol

In a different timeline, where Faehrnem never comes to be as the Bold Tree follows in his older sister's footsteps by setting aside his own wants and dreams to instead begrudgingly take on his role as an avatar.
#my art#gw2#commander faehrnem#pale tree#SURPRISE i'm finally talking about my characters lol#faehrnem would have been avatar for the second blighting tree (malyck's) but was brought over to the pale tree's side of the dream#while his mind was still forming so she could ensure he would defect as well and not embrace his true purpose as mordys champ#pale tree was to be mordys voice. lol#but uhh other stuff happened and the bold tree didn't want the same life as his sister and in a disagreement the siblings had#the bold tree is nearly wiped from the dream itself when pale tree accidentally uses magic that horrifically dmged him#so! in her grief the pale tree removes the avatar magic from her brother's. mind? soul? both maybe? idk the dream is weird#and later on after years of recovering and with no memory of what happened#faehrnem reawakens in the dream as a (to everyone's knowledge) regular sylvari so hecan live out his dreams of roaming the world#along side his friends and family (and then some) and just living a fulfilling life full of adventure and excitement#and brother. does faehrnem get it LOL this is what you signed up for buddy. now go kill those pesky dragons#anyways if you read all of these tags congrats! here's a gold star#this was a very shortened version of his backstory and there's. a lot of details i'm leaving out but maybe for another time#for now i hope you can enjoy these disaster siblings. lmao

going INSANE over the implications about kaeya with this new quest. he called dain a "pureblooded khaen'riahn" which we later learn means he suffers from the curse of immortality, of which kaeya definitely does not have because he grew up in Mondstadt. kaeya's pupils are different from the other "pureblooded khaenriahns" we've seen because there's is more of a hollow outline??? idk also the fact that we have NO idea what happened to caribert means that he could be kaeya's ancestor also?? because otherwise how is he an alberich??? anyways kaeya mains stay winning ig because they definitely are not stopping here like i lowkey feared lol
#kaeya alberich#genshin 3.5 spoilers#genshin impact spoilers#okay but im not the only one who was thrown by that guy being an alberich because he was so pale right#like i guessed the traveler being in a memory but NOT eid being an alberich BECAUSE he wasn't tan literally that was it#anyways going crazy insane over this thanks hoyoverse <3#ALSO this has straight up pulled kaeya into the mainplot line again lol#dain's like “good for him living out from under the shadow of his Family^tm” but also#kaeya has Other foreshadowing and it's clear this is not the end#i'll be real chief i was not expecting a WHOLE archon quest devoted to kaeya's family but i am taking it and i am LOVING it#god founders of the abyss order is so much cooler than royalty of og khaenri'ah i swear#ok ok im done for now im normal i swear i swear

I think making sweeping generalizations of specific traits being considered "ugly" is not great the same way i think its rude and unnecessary to call others ugly, i also think its worthwhile to acknowledge that certain traits ARE considered "Ugly" due to societal beauty standards, that doesn't make them ACTUALLY ugly, bc beauty is subjective anyway, and can be found Anywhere, and even someone who seems to tick every single box of societal beauty Ideals will almost certainly have at least one trait or feature about their appearance that they are insecure about or feel is "ugly", bc even within the constraints of conventional attractiveness theres subjectivity
also this fish was so fucking Ugly and i adored it so much. i miss him.
he was also gorgeous.
#toy txt post#toy pic post#he passed in like. man. i want to say 2019? his name was Gus. he was a pink kissing gourami#the thing about albino fish is that they always look a little bit sickly and concerning. his head always seemed a little big for his body#like he was really old. when i got him he looked so bad cos he had wounds all over him from dads fish that got infected and the dude#straight up looked like a zombie. every day id wake up and prepare myself to find him dead. but he recovered and never went back in w the#fish that injured him. his face was hideous. he looked pale and sickly. his head was a little too big like he was super old#his scales were iridescent and pretty and shimmery. he had no concept of giving a shit about me finding him beautiful or not. not even on#his mind. simply not something he would think about. now. im sure he'd have some sort of beauty standard to hold himself to for mating if#that had been an option for him. but it wouldnt be the same. idk. i just. i love the idea. of animals that are not traditionally cute or#beautiful or charismatic and the fact that they do not give a single fucking shit what we think of the way they look. BOTH ways. a#a butterfly does not give a single thought tohow beautiful or inspiring you find the colors of its wings. the wolf fish does not care that#humans find it hideous and terrifying. it just looks the way that it does. its fine. its vibing. it just wants to live and survive and get#enough food. yes beauty is everywhere but so is ugly. and there is beauty in ugly. to me. there is beauty in not even thinking about#standards to be conformed to or not. the beauty is irrelevant. its not For You. it doesnt Matter. its just Existing. if you like how it#looks while it exists? great! good for you. if you dont? okay cry about it i guess. this ugly ass fish doesnt give a shit if humans find it#beautiful or not. he was just going to continue to use his lips covered in teeth to scrape biofilm and algae off the surface of rocks and#driftwood and play in the current of the filter.#let girls be ugly the way marine iguanas dont give a shit if humans find them pretty cos theyre just sunning themselves and eating seaweed#off rocks. all humans are beautiful. all humans are ugly. it doesnt matter. let us go dive into the ocean and scrape seaweed off the rocks#and then bask in the sun on a warm rock and not fucking worry about that#anyway also Yes ive seen uglier fish than him.i know they exist. but he was also special cos he was My Fish u see

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place#where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was#when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll#and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and#evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys#between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's#water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk#and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road#but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood#and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in#the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings#but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree#as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert#and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a#little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha#but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da#one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here#but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature#bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes#so it goes i suppose#unrelated#listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol

i saw your pic with charlie, just wanna say that im happy for you. 🥰
congrats on having him hold the red thread, i am very envious with you (and the others) who had the chance to be near him or even just to see him in person.
it was my first time seeing what you look like, and i hope you dont take this the wrong way…but you look like a vampire? i dont know if it’s the lighting but you’re so pale—like wow, that’s pale. like, WOW. THATS. PALE. and the widows peak? gurrlll..you can be morticia adams. and top it off with your dark eyeshadow?? not to mention your aura/vibe? ma’am are you a creature of the night? but it’s fine coz you’re like a happy vampire? like ‘what we do in the shadows’ happy. 🥰
anyway, that’s all i gotta say, congrats again on seeing charlie and i hope you dream of him. 😘
First off I want you to know this is literally, legitimately the funniest fucking way I've ever had asked about my pale af skin, which actually happens a lot. A brief summary of the funniest:
Been asked if I was wearing a wig, because don't albinos wear wigs?
Been asked by my own mother why I was wearing white socks with my flats. I wasn't. Thought that was it. Two years later she asked why I was wearing white tights with my shorts. I also wasn't.
Been told I could signal a plane, no mirror needed, on a desert island.
Been told by two happy tattoo artists that working on me is almost like working on white paper, 'it comes out so bright!'. First artist even knocked 50 bucks off because he didn't need as much ink or time as he usually would.
Had the 'THE BEACONS ARE LIT' comic hilariously reenacted when I wander out in a bathing suit or tank top, or in this case, in my photo with Charlie where they used a light that lit me up like a road beacon. You know, this comic:
Also after sending this to a friend, I have been dubbed Nosferpasta. 'I'm a vampire' is now going in the 'Standard Responses To General Questions Of Why I'm Pale' box because holy shit (truthful answer: one of my medications makes me incredibly sensitive/borderline allergic to sunlight, and I can burn in as little as 15 minutes without sunscreen. That means I never get a chance to tan. Kinda vampirish now that I think about it).
Not me also scribbling down Morticia as a cosplay option cause, well, yeah, I've got the hair and the skin and I definitely wear a lot of black clothes, dark eyeshadow, and black cat-eye eyeliner. I'd barely need foundation at all. Either that or I'll be a happy vampire, which I also love.😂
Thank you so, so much for coming to say hi! I'm honestly still on such a high having gotten him to hold the thread which is NOT something I ever really expected to have happen. I'm going to be drowning in that dopamine for a looooong time!
#no but now i need to be morticia#i do Jessica Jones cause she is JUST as pale (and she's the reason I went black for hair) but so is morticia#someone get me that dress STAT#either that or a happy vampire which wouldn't require much work#i'm literally going to just tell people i'm a vampire when they ask#i burn in the sun i wear black i'm pale i occasionally white out cameras i use dark eye makeup and i hang out at a witchy shop#all the signs are there#Pastaferatu#Nosferpasta?#Dracu-pasta#i'm going to have fun with this#especially since i now live in a place that's snowy 7 months of the year so i'll probably get even paler 😂

pink, it's not even a question (chapter 2 now up)
by greymantledlady
Liam Dunbar/Theo Raeken | Teen Wolf | 5K
(fluff, awkward crush, first date, holding hands, liam pov)
for a prompt made by @thiamsxbitch - thank you again lovely for everything, this is for you! 💙
-
'I don't know,' Liam says despondently. He lets his head thunk down onto Mason's bed with a despairing thud. 'He let me hold his hand, Mason. What am I supposed to do now?'
'Well, did you talk about it at all?' Mason says patiently. 'At any point during or afterwards?'
Liam moans and lifts his head up for the sole purpose of thudding it back down again. 'Ughhhh. Nope,' he says, muffled into Mason's bedspread.
#on wednesdays theo wears pink#thiam#theo raeken#liam dunbar#thiam fic#pink theo is still going strong in my brain he lives there now#my fic#teen wolf#i hope you all enjoy!!#it's a pale pink beanie this time

i don't have the balls to talk abt this in my other blog but holy fuck am i emotional over hollow looking back at ghost at that flashback i rewatched it just now and i feel awful for what would soon happen to hollow RAAAGGGH
#in the end.this whole vessel idea is a bad idea!!! even the pale king knew this was going to fail anyways!!#every vessel had a mind to think. they all did. hollow looked back at ghost for a brief moment before walking away#the way hollow looked at pale king feeling like a proud child to please their dad#ghost can have the option to be nice to others and that immediately derails the statement that they all have no mind to think#this is all so flawed man........ and hollow is just the same as the rest. all failed experiments aND THEY STILL JUST KEPT REPRODUCING MORE#i honestly feel bad for white lady. she loves to produce more vessels - its in her “blood” to do so but#if its at the cost of witnessing many of her offspring be ditched to the abyss with no love... then it's pointless#and so she coiled herself away in shame and never interacted with pale king ever again.... they live so far away#and now white lady has no idea what's happening outside#sorry im.#yeah

Similarities between the themes of Hollow Knight and Disco Elysium; discuss
#vu's posts#hollow knight#disco elysium#am i reaching? maybe. did i think of this while i wasn't fully awake? yes.#anyways... let's see what i can think of#both games' settings were essentially destroyed and terrorized by colonizers#(revachol was bombed by the moralintern and also invaded 300 years prior)#(hallownest was overcome with infection after radiance came in and decided that she wanted to control the place)#the original rulers and just the upper classes in general were cowards and left everyone else to rot#(this is more obvious with pale king but i'd say that it also applies to the suzerain(s) both before and during the revolution)#both games have characters who are kinda just... stuck in the terrible place they live. but they go about their lives anyways#both have themes of hope despite all the tragedy also. the world is broken but in time it can still slowly heal#...also the overarching themes of both games are made physical via a giant bug#i know that one's a cheap shot since hk's characters are mostly bugs... but i had to#that's all i got for now

i do very much love when otherkin stuff makes its way onto my tumblr browsing experience but like. i always feel like i can't really relate to them. like i do very much identify as a creature but at the same time i am (and love being) just some fucking Guy. me being human and loving being so is fundamentally a part of me. does this make sense.
#its also full of ppl who i feel have different views about bodies and lifestyles than me#like. ''the human body is so vulnerable and weak'' (it can be but it also can be So Strong.)#or like. wishing they could go run off into the woods or the hillsides#brethren. come. take my hand. i live like this right now. you can too. come with me and we can frolic under the pale moonlight and sleep#under thunderstorms and listen to birdsong in a still field and experience a million wonders of the world together#i get it though. i used to be the same way#it is midnight rn though so ignore me if u want i am just Thinking out loud here.#it speaks
