It's a lovely poem you should all read it #there is a longer section that fits the characters but it feels a little iffy taking something that is clearly personal #and apply it to fictional characters. like it has racial motifs that i don't feel comfortable saying 'oh exactly like my little characters #written by a white man!' yk?#anyway! i'm actually proud of this #i'm so normal about these biblical siblings < lying #i've said it before but this was baby's first horror story. i was obsessed with them as a kid

I think Katniss should get to write some songs as an adult. I think it would be good for her to realize she can do that.

#the girl thinks in symbols and motifs and evocativeness already AND she's got an entire library of appalachian folk in her head #i believe in songwriting katniss

heres another piece i wanted to make as pendog fanart! the original idea was to post this with the first piece but well. i did not finish it. because of the hecate curse.

#pendog creative library #[cherry on top]#pendog creative library spoilers #<- TECHNICALLY. its very very very vague spoilers but still spoilers nonetheless lol #“didnt the website just publish itself last month. how the hell did you spoil yourself already”#i may or may not have binged through the main creators art blog and saw some story posts about pendog. whoopsies </3 #<- imagine im doing the eto bleh pose here #anyways. god i fucking love drawing water so much its soooo funnnnn #especially in a painted style like this. i should do it more often.#also love how dorothy do seems tailor made in a lab for me to like him lolll #raggedy ann inspired design + water/ocean motif that gives me the excuse to do pieces like this + having a stable g-rated cartoon life-#-until suddenly coming face to face with The Horrors. and then having to survive said Horrors.#(being vague on purpose there because those are Spoilers im Not Supposed To Know About Yet. Technically.)#= a character i am patiently waiting for more of :)

Thoughts on The Big Book of Granny Squares: 365 Crochet Motifs by Tracey Lord

All granny squares all the time! We've got some good points and some bad points on this one.

Okay, good: 365 different designs! With some truly solid variety, too. They theoretically all work up to about the same size, but that's going to depend on your tension control for sure.

Each block has a difficulty rating. I think that's a first for all the granny square books I've gone through. I don't agree with the ratings completely, but that's such a ymmv sort of thing.

There are blocks inspired by a variety of artists, which brings in some really interesting color work.

The bad: While the pics of the blocks are clear, there are only written instructions for all of them, and no charts for the lacy blocks. (Yes charts for the colors tho)

The patterns are arranged... based on the color the sample was in made in, I guess?? And there's no gallery of designs. So good luck flipping through all 365 of them to find what you are looking for.

The book is wire bound, and while I might consider that a good thing in my personal library... Well, this came from a public library and it has been beat to hell.

So would I check this out again? Maybe. I can probably work out any of the color charts on my own, if the mood hits. But I do like the range of the more lace style blocks that are worked in the round. So... maybe if that's what I'm looking for for a project?

Throne Room

#throne room was a pain in the ass bc of all those chain motifs on the walls and the door and the throne itself #t-posing callum for scale #and of course some virrow by the window if you squint #crow lord's tower next #bc I still don't know where the library is #the dragon prince #tdp #katolis castle #tdp callum #tdp harrow #tdp viren #Dayah makes #these are still missing some flags tho so ignore that

i'm trying to read more next year but im worried im gonna run out of thomas hardy, nathaniel hawthorne, and herman melville books to read. And theres nothing else in the world

#I like nabokov too #I might start reading dostoevsky or i might just go to the new and popular at the library #Idk i just feel like modern books dont leave me obsessing over Themes and Motifs #And i hate fantasy and sci fi. But maybe i'll change who knows #And im the same way with books that i am with music where i have four or five authors on rotation and i read everything by them

Infant and young girl, Colville Indian Reservation, Washington, ca. 1905.

An infant and young girl pose outside on fur skin. The infant is in a blanketed cradleboard, wears a bib with striped edging. A beaded bag with a horse, bird star and flowers is propped up in front of the cradleboard. The young girl wears a kerchief, earrings, necklaces, moccasins, and a woven belt over her dress, ca. 1900-1910.

mgsv has so many literary references to books i have essays abt it kind of makes me.

#i'm sick this is my slightly fever-induced thought stream in the rest of the tags sorry ->#all the 1984 stuff is really interesting. the position of both ocelot and kaz as the people running room 101 is really fascinating.#because it somehow manages to place huey in the position of winston while also having venom be in the position of winston.#<- would that make quiet julia? actually yes it does bc of her nature motifs.#and the whole game seems to doublethink of whats real and what isn't. though it starts to tell you what isn't real its still there.#and then with moby dick you have pequod which is just. the ship. and queegueg who is ishmaels friend. which is why its kind of perfect he i #the other pilot we see who takes kaz places. and theres other stuff with him but i don't want to get into that. i could go on for a while.#but whats interesting is that ahab seems to apply more to kaz than it does to venom. esp because his own deception results in his downfall.#whereas that isn't true with venom if youve played mg1 he just kinda keeps going with it to at least some degree.#and i guess kaz is working for foxhound but you know what i mean.#ocelot even being the perfect counterpart to starbuck who works at kaz's side but disagrees with his methods to an extreme.#he isn't of the same morals as starbuck but its just the oppositional character type.#does that mean cipher is moby dick. yes actually bc of the leg thing with kaz. oh my god.#<- funny enough i am actually getting moby dick back out of the library bc i never finished it and its been ages since i read what i did.#i remember the narration being kind of nuts.#honestly the lord of the flies stuff feels less like a reference and more like eli read that book and decided he wanted to do it irl. lol.#i can't say these books are even close to being favorites but i'm intimately familiar with both 1984 and lotf so those are. those.#and moby dick is genuinely just kind of. what in the hell did i experience. theres a lot to unpack.#and i didn't even finish the damn thing.#ok i'm done now i just needed to get that out of my system. now i'm off to read veniss underground. 👍#.txt

30, 21, 14 for the art ask game!

For this ask game (which is supposed to be hosted on our art blog but this works too we suppose!)

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

...well realistically this would probably be either a fic or a list of fics but look at our watercolor pearlescent effect on Survivor and while you're at it look at our cool shading on this art.

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways?

...that's honestly a bit of a tough one! Our own art style is sort of an amalgamation of every cartoony to pseudo-realistic style we've ever liked, and we tend to experiment with imitating other art styles often enough that we aren't sure we can really pin down what "nothing like our art style" would look like! We suppose... @boiledegghole's forays into stylized art would work for this? cosmopoliturtle's Pokemon redesign works in particular are excellent, and though our appreciation for formline is a bit more general than linked to a specific artist we do wish to point you to telekitnetic-art's works.

14. Any favorite motifs?

...like, in visual art or in general? We'll be real with you, our symbolism is usually mostly localized to writing, not visual art. We love a good decay motif in writing, we guess? We like using specific colors to mean things? Even if we're specifically doing art for symbolism purposes (generally for the sake of interconnecting with written work) we tend to have different "libraries" of what means what by character, so, uhh... there's a lot of ground to cover there and what the "favorite" recurring thematic and design element is is gonna vary by story, universe, AU, et cetera...

We generally have favorite symbolism for given universes but those are specific for a given universe and would take, like, way too long to list, even beyond the fact that 99% of our favorite flavors of Recurring Theme don't transfer well to visual art or are a wild bitch to draw, and again... inconsistent between different 'verses, and the way that any sort of symbolism is a tool for whatever story you choose to tell makes this question insanely broad in a way that makes it hard to answer.

Kjdrira uses decay and disassembly as control and self-definition of identity. Half of Mothiva's specific symbolism library revolves around the concept of the exotic pet. Selkieverse Vi gets a massive amount of mileage out of every stripe of fire symbolism imaginable. What are we meant to narrow this down to? Incredibly broad conceptual strokes like the vague idea of destruction? The word "blood"? We've got way too much going on in this department! This question's not made with us in mind! They might as well ask us, like. "hey, what words do you like using in your work". Easier to answer.

#asks #ask games #we're a fan of the word “visceral” btw #we are pinging Only Egg here because we already know acro personally #we love themes and motifs but. this is way too broad of a question. guy who made the ask game is NOT marketing to us here #we don't have a “favorite motif” we're building libraries of what means what for different characters #once we actually paint & finish our tarot art maybe you can ask us to break down the symbolism on a given card #it will be. so much easier to do than picking a Favorite Motif
