I'm not sure if anyone has shared this yet, but it's phenomenal, and such a transcendent, emotional journey through her music.
the video is also spectacularly gorgeous, I'm in awe of the impressive talent, dedication, and time that must've gone into creating this and capturing the highs, lows, and connective tissue of these (230!!!) songs. it's like a magic distillation of why so many of us are impacted by and love her art the way we do:

Best Fantasy Anime (with mostly female leads)
Listen, I love fantasy anime. They are fun and I love a fight scene as much as the next girl. I am relatively uninterested in male leads mostly because of the *cough, cough* excessive fan service. So, without further adu, if you are interested in some fantasy with women at the helm here's what I got.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Yona of the Dawn
Inuyasha
Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina
Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss But I'm Not the Demon Lord
7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!
Fluffy Paradise
Ascendance of a Bookworm
I Shall Survive Using Potions!
The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent
Tearmoon Empire
My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts
Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for my Retirement
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear
I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Reincarnated as a Sword
Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools
Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-
The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess
Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!
Management of Novice Alchemist
I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History
Nina the Starry Bride
Snow White with the Red Hair
These ones I am keeping an eye on but signs point to a favorable outcome.
The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor
Promise of Wizard

"I had to save them"
Rest in peace, Liam. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. 😔✊
I finally finished this, YAY! This animatic is a mix of digital and traditional art. I definitely learned a lot of tricks while making this (also, can you notice the slight difference between art styles??).
This animatic singlehandedly explains what happened to JD after his mom sacrificed him. He was definitely ready to accept his faith until he discovered Branch's was with him (which almost gave him a panic attack). It was a good thing that everyone decided to help him, and Liam (a troll around his age, maybe older?) helped him escape.
For more context about my au check this post!
I obviously don't own the audio, only the animatic. "Bruno is Orange" by Hop Along featuring Francis Quinlan, so credits to them. Here's the link

sometimes i sit here and think 'yeah i'm a pretty normal person'. and then i remember that i am fully preparing myself to write a 20-ish page academic paper on how enjolras and grantaire directly relate to achilles and patroclus and that love and passion conquers fear and cynicism

at some point in disability you stop wanting to "get better" and this is just really hard for able bodied people to understand for some reason

#'sorry for barging' anon#sorry gonna answer this in the tags since it's such a loaded topic#but yeah exactly- i think a lot of it comes down to people wanting them to perform their (very real) grief for an audience#and getting mad when they don't. which is wildly unfair and unrealistic and just... extremely entitled#and very much coming from a lack of understanding of grief and that it's not a perpetual state of uncontrollable crying#a massive part of grief is continuing living with all its up and down moments with a new heavy weight in the background#living in a perpetual state of sobs is not something any human can sustain. it involves adapting and continuing to live.#and that involves doing regular everyday things AND experiencing happy moments still. that does not mean you aren't still suffering.#to question whether they're 'truly' grieving is.... kinda evil and completely ridiculous lmao#and shows a massive lack of basic empathy and understanding of how human emotions work#we see less than 1 percent of their lives. to actually feel like you have the ability to judge someone's grieving process in general#is wild and weird but especially when you literally have seen nearly none of their lives in the past few months#i'm sure all of us have laughed and seen a friend and had other happy moments since october#that doesn't mean we do not miss liam and that we aren't devastatingly sad at other points.#and to somehow think that zouis reconnecting and being happy about it after such a tragic event would be somehow anti-liam is insane#i've even seen people judge zayn for not cancelling his entire tour which is so.....#if they for a second think that liam would have been petty enough to enjoy the idea of all of his friends stopping in their tracks forever#they clearly didn't really know him since he was clearly always SO supportive of everyone in 1d#and probably would have been very happy to see zayn and louis mend their relationship#it feels like a very weird way to make a fucking death and real life grief from his friends into a stan war which is......... beyond gross

I think they are so deep in each others emotional and professional lives, it’s inevitable that they sort of feel like mirrors of each other. They’re also drawn to each other because they recognize that the other has in his game and in his life what the other is missing, and vice versa. So I think when you meet somebody like that, you’re inevitably drawn to them because you recognize there’s something that makes them different from you in a sort of exact way. (Justin Kuritzkes)
