Bits & Bobs (Pt 1.)

Lighting up the mist (plus skylines).

The most over-the-top concentration of tourist-hunting absurdity I have ever come across (and I say that with sincere fondness).

The Gorge - look at the blue of that water!

Of course I had to mix in some history - an interesting 18th Century French fort-disguised-as-trading-post (though not $19 worth of interesting); ft. a familiar-looking safe that I did not test for secret panels, and a very blurry Toronto taken from the opposite side of the Lake.

fionna's world being represented by a dandelion makes so much sense ... they're weeds. yet people make wishes through them, changing their whole meaning from something meant to be destroyed to something hopeful.

dandelions are also resilient and it makes sense that something associated with them would. you know. perservere despite the destruction caused by the scarab.

but ultimately i think what REALLY made me tear up over this is that dandelions are really boring plants. when you're a kid you blow on them and make your wish but they're not eyecatching or anything but still, fionna's final wish was for her old world to still exist as it was when she left it (> plain and simple. boring even).

like the moment she realized she would lose her friends, and that her friends might forget each other if the world got its magic back, she immediately decided she didn't want it and I think that ties back to the dandelion metaphor so well... like, do you really need magic to be real to find it everywhere? or can you turn something boring into something magical?

Say what you will about Origins being outdated, clunky whatever - but their designs for the darkspawn are MILES better than the following games IMHO.

"Fetuses should have all the rights that born people do"

Agreed, actually. Nobody who has ever been born is allowed to lodge themselves in my uterus without my consent, either!

"It's powerful, it's visceral, it's dark, it's like a Shakespearean tragedy. There’s no Arya — a character everybody's going to love. They're all flawed. They're all human. They do good things. They do bad things. They're driven by lust for power, jealousy, old wounds — just like human beings. Just like I wrote them."

Seeing people debate which grey characters can still be considered "morally good" and somehow Arya never makes the list, so it's the perfect time to bring back this quote from George which shows exactly how he views her character 🫶🏾

Because my new f/os made me wonder about this ...

If you have an f/o who's not usually referred to by their first name, but instead their last name, a nickname, or something like a title or honorific, how to you refer to them? This can apply both to how they are addressed in-universe in their source material and/or how they are commonly referred to in the fandom.

Continue on from this. I just love how these two mirror each other even in their worst moments. The only difference here is Ryuuga was holding back while Tsubasa is completely on a rampage

Like, the dark power/their dark self is something they’re going to live with for the rest of their lives and they will relapse. It’s not just some ailments you can cure with medicine

I'm one again here to ask you for more headcanons about

✨The toxic yuri lumini✨

PUTS MY HAND ON MY HIP JERMA STYLE. AND I WILL DELIVER MORE HEADCANONS ABOUT TOXIC YURI LUMINI ^_^

You left a tag on one of my Gemini design posts a bit ago where you mentioned the idea of Lunara breaking off one of Gemini's antlers and I have not stopped thinking about it btw. Could you imagine being an entity made of space, stars, light, and unfathomable power and some little rat bastard mortal who you have weird feelings about comes long, bests you in a fight, and breaks off a piece of your antlers?? breaks of a piece of your HALO???? THATS INSANE. /POS

I can just imagine the initial shock after it cracks and snaps right off and there's just a long moment where Lunara is staring at the horn in their hands and Gemini is staring at Lunara while loosely palming the area where it broke off. Once it settles in though, I think Lunara would be absolutely thrilled at what they've done. They'd laugh and they'd taunt Gemini by holding the piece up to their own head and going "look, now we match! <3"

Gemini on the other hand would be... less than pleased LMAO. I think they'd be a mix of humiliated and angry for taking such a hit from this random robot, but they'd also be like aoaughh oly shit. they overpowered me, how did they even,,, theyre . i can be normal about this(< is experiencing the classic "i can't tell if i want to kiss or kill you" dilemma).

I also think that, from that point forward, Lunara would probably wear that piece somewhere on them and they'd get more much comfortable just grabbing Gemini by the horns whenever they felt like it. You know that "how to talk to a short person" meme? That, Imagine that but the "correct" answer is of Lunara grabbing Gemini's antlers and yanking them down so they're at eye level <3

Okay I have seen a marked increase in asks re: Haul that make me worry it wasn't billed properly or something so I will find a way to make it more clear but in the meantime please be aware: this is a horror story. I am a horror fan first above everything. Being an x reader writer falls maybe 478th place.

I have 0 problem entertaining non-canon stuff (I love it in fact, allows me to have the best of both worlds) but I need y'all to understand this isn't gonna have a lovey dovey ending cause if that's not for you I suggest getting out now

Briar being fucked up about how much they’re like Rose.

They *look* just like her.

Their personality is so much like hers. They’re probably more angry but how much does that count for?

Physically they are her. They have the same genes as her. What’s different was modified to be that way by Hansel and Gretal for Cole.

How can they possibly be their own person?

They’re either Rose or they’re fucked up for Cole’s pleasure.

And they weren’t even a *success*.

How are they possibly supposed to be *Briar*?

Who *is* Briar?

Are they Rose? No, Rose was objectively someone else. But what can they be if not Rose?

Are they the soldier Cole wanted them to be? No, they were a failure. Too good, fought back.

If they aren’t what they are made from and they aren’t the differences what the fuck are they?

Is Briar falling in love with Cinders *Briar* loving Cinders? Or is it the Rose in them? And does Cinders actually love Briar or does she love that she’s almost Rose?

How do you be your own person when everything about you is that way because of a select few people who made you that way?

crying and sobbing and wailing at the fact that the original concept for the sepia cutscenes with chara and asriel also had them drawing together, eating pie, playing in flowers and looking at the "stars" in waterfall. i am decomposing right now i am in shambles

[milimeters-morales]

okay finally i know what Hobie mentally sounds like when he’s using “summat” in a sentence bc i’m watching this british(?) simmer and she’s just talking casually so she said that, and it sounds like “summin” or “summit” but it just surprised me because i was always reading it with a heavy emphasis on the “mat” part if i ever read a fic about him or i tried to read example sentences that included other british slang. so i would substitute it with “sumn” or “somethin” but now i don’t always have to. basically autism win my curiosity is satiated ^_^

[jackdawsdrawings]

Haven't used the paints that I have much recently so decided to try doing the Stardew Valley title screen!

It also worked as some good practice for painting clouds and doing gradients which is something I've been wanting to get better at!

[caffeccino]

hopefully this doesn't come off as rude; but is Apex Limit on a long term hiatus or is it not being updated? Can't wait to read Mundane Magical Girl when I get a chance either way

Hey there!

Apex Limit is indeed on a long term hiatus. I had always planned on taking a break from it in favor of a second project and to come back to it, though that isn't exactly how things worked out...

I intend to try to go back to it after Mundane Magical Girl, which is more limited in scope.
