I really didn't want to post this cuz I don't want people to think I'm making an Onward AU.

But eh- whatever ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ

Anyways, this art is just based on a Character AI story I tried last week and decided to draw something for it for my 1st art in October. This was my first time drawing Barley and Ian, so it was abit challenging and I needed more practice.

I also struggled more in drawing Barley's vest cuz there are alot of design, and Ian's hair cuz I'm terrible at drawng curly hair.

But speaking of this art, I'm now imagining myself as an Elf-

Book Review: “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon” by Joel Selvin

Tortured by his own brain and barely functioning, Jim Gordon still found comfort in music and by 1983 was playing in dingy clubs with a band called the Blue Monkeys.

The gigs were Gordon’s only normalcy in his world of deepening mental illness.

This moment before things fell apart serves as author Joel Selvin’s introduction to the drummer, who had once been the go-to session man in Los Angeles and was a former member of Derek & the Dominos and Traffic.

“Everybody knows how this story ends,” Selvin writes in the first chapter of “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon.” It ends, of course, with the drummer murdering his mother, Osa Gordon, in 1983 after a career that established Jim Gordon as one of the most revered drummers in rock ‘n’ roll history.

Gordon’s tale is that of a gut-wrenching struggle with mental illness and stuff-of-dreams musical triumphs that veteran music journalist Selvin tells from an omniscient point of view, in the way Bob Woodward writes his political tomes, with citation saved for the notes and bibliography of the 302-page book.

With cooperation from surviving family members and former colleagues like Jim Keltner, Eric Clapton, Mike Post and others, Selvin paints a sympathetic picture of the Wrecking Crew drummer who struggled against the voices in his head as he recorded and toured with the Everly Brothers, the Beach Boys, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, George Harrison, Frank Zappa and others between stints in the aforementioned bands with Clapton and Steve Winwood. But while Gordon tamped down his emerging schizophrenia enough to engage in musical success, he also decked his then-girlfriend Rita Coolidge while the pair were on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour, committed other troubling acts of violence against women and engaged in behavior, such as speaking to people who were not present during recording sessions, that concerned his friends and family even as it left them at a loss of what to do.

Gordon’s career slowly dissolved as the 1970s turned to the 1980s and his grasp of reality grew more and more tenuous. Hospital stays and stints in rehab were unsuccessful at muting the voices that ultimately directed Gordon to kill his mother.

When they did, he listened. Gordon went to Osa Gordon’s house and murdered her with a hammer and butcher knife before heading out for a night of drinking. Police arrested a distraught Gordon, who confessed, the next morning.

He was sentenced to life in prison. Selvin ends the story in 1993 when Gordon and his fellow inmates are watching Clapton pick up a Grammy for his unplugged version of “Layla,” which Gordon was credited with co-writing.

“I’ll be darned,” Gordon said.

A more-complete book would’ve at least touched on the intervening 30 years, Gordon’s life behind bars and his 2023 death at 77. That said, “Demons & Drums” is the most-complete book on Gordon the world is likely to get and is worth the read. For despite its mildly sycophantic tone, and Gordon’s oft-horrendous behavior, Selvin has served up not only Gordon’s story but a fascinating history of the evolution of drumming and the 1970s music scene.

Grade card: “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon” by Joel Selvin - B+

We start this issue exactly where we left off last time - with Sonic and Porker tied to the tracks of a rollercoaster. But it looks like we’re already seeing the seeds of downfall being planted within the Marxio Brothers, as they begin that typical villain bickering about who’s actually to praise for their plan going so well

Okay, I know I’ve just posted two full pages in a row, but I think this whole sequence is great and deserves to be shared. Both because of Elson’s amazing art and because we have the beginning signs of Sonic pushing Porker too far with his teasing. That will most definitely be a plot point they’ll come back to later on. I also really like how, mid-freakout, Porker manages to sass back at Sonic. We don’t get that from Tails. So far, Tails just takes most of what Sonic throws at him and gets sad about it, which is probably why readers feel so bad for him. With Porker, he’s crying, but he still manages to say “Oh pardon me, Mister Cool!”

Sonic’s strange sense of humour aside, he manages to get free! Meaning that nobody on this rollercoaster is going to have to ask for their money back

I like this panel of Sonic proclaiming that he’s going after the Marxio Brothers. I also find it interesting that a rabbit who I assume is Johnny is there, but he hasn’t had his StC redesign yet. Joe Sushi is also present, so we’ve still got one foot in the “small animals from Sonic 1” door before StC commits completely to its own take on the Mobians

Ah yes, StC Sonic from behind. Those spikes sure are a look. But ignoring that, he’s found the Marxio Brothers and keeps the three of them busy fighting over some gadget. As a small note, during this fight the brothers use these battle stick things that look quite similar to the one that Johnny Lightfoot will eventually be given as a weapon

When the brothers realise the device could be used to disrupt their machines, they destroy it. But Sonic’s actual plan was to distract them for long enough that Porker could reprogram their machines. This is a lot of faith that Sonic has in Porker and yet another example of why I find their dynamic interesting. It isn’t as simple as Sonic never trusting Porker to do a good job, because he clearly does. But more on that in other issues

Porker also manages to blow up the hypnotising statue and then the two of them are off, with the promise of Super Sonic coming back next time!

What a great issue! I mean, the Marxio Brothers are pretty standard gag villains who’d score low on most people’s list of favourite recurring minor villains, I’d reckon. But we’ve got Porker Lewis being used as an actual character, with a role and personality that’s only going to be developed more in future! And with the Kitching and Elson team together, this feels like StC as we know it is starting to take shape

Tuesday Tunes 156: Still At Sea

There are loads of songs about the sea and, having given you a few last week, I thought I’d play some more. I’m leaving out some of the more obvious possibilities though I expect you’ll know at least some of these. This is a mixture of fairly laid back songs, with a couple of narrative ones thrown in for good measure – one of which is quite jaunty, in case you were in danger of nodding off! I’m…

𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓮𝓬𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓶𝓮

fandom: Onward (Pixar)

relationship: Barley Lightfoot x GN! Reader

summary: You and Barley are perfect for each other. Now if only you could see that for yourselves.

additional tags: pining, pre-relationship, friends to lovers, unresolved romantic tension, self esteem issues, y’all are massive dorks

a/n: this fandom is seriously lacking in x reader content, we need to step it up. divider provided by @cafekitsune

Barley fell first, you fell harder.

The two of you had been close friends for a few years. He realized his feelings for you around the time he turned eighteen.

He definitely has a music playlist dedicated to you. It was initially made on a whim, but then the discography grew increasingly more affectionate.

You have the same tattoo on your left arm that he does on his right.

Play wrestling is definitely a thing for you guys.

One of his favorite things to do is going for snack runs with you in his van in the evening. Sometimes he’ll take the long way home just to have a few more minutes with you.

He honestly felt honored the first time you fell asleep while he was driving.

Believe you me, Barley is way too good at making you smile and laugh, even when you don’t want to.

Even if you’re super bummed or stressed out, his Medieval Voice works like a charm on you.

Barley feel like a million bucks whenever he gets you to laugh.

But he does know when to get serious.

Like this one time when you were just stuck in a major funk, and despite the small laugh Barley got out of you, it didn’t get rid of the hurt. So he stayed and waited it out with you so at least you weren’t alone.

Having him there did make it easier.

Yes of course Laurel loves you.

She and Ian have listened to Barley talk about you so much that it felt like they already knew you by the time you first came over to meet them.

Frankly, it boggles their minds that you two aren’t going out. (yet)

Trust me, Barley wants to ask you out, so bad, more than anything. He’s thought about it a hundred times by now. But he just… can’t. Not yet.

You potentially turning him down wasn’t even half the reason for his hesitation, no, it was the thought that you’d say yes, but then he’d screw it up somehow.

Barley isn’t afraid of very much, only a handful of things. Those include; anything bad happening to his mom or brother, and letting you down.

Speaking of which, you never stand for anyone talking to/about Barley like that, even before you realized you had a crush on him.

Whether it be with a death glare or some choice words, you would make your displeasure clear.

Officer Bronco is honestly kind of scared of you at this point.

The way you’ve always had his back and treated him with the respect and dignity that most people deny him makes Barley feel like if he really did his best, he could be a good boyfriend to you.

Chances are, you may have to be the one to make the first move.

Zenless Zone Zero Barley Lightfoot ✨ The random crossover idea my brain make me think at 3 AM lol

Let me combine my current fixation XD. interesting concept to work on ngl, challenging but fun! Had to mix between techwear, knight, DnD, and Barley himself. Also if you all wondering what faction he is. I kinda think of new faction for him, something with the theme of DnD and gamer casual stuffs? My BF also gave me cool idea since he has a brother Ian, Barley is the agent and Ian is his proxy, another small sibling based company.

Elrond Week Day 2 - Grief and Growth

Elros could hear nothing but the blood roaring in his ears and his own panicked breaths as he stuffed himself deeper inside the craggy rock hollow he and Elrond had always used as a hiding place during play. They were not playing anymore. Elros had followed his nanneth’s instructions and ran for the woods as soon as he was out the window.

He had lingered there on the forest’s edge, waiting for nearly a minute, but his mother had not come out of the house. Nor had Elrond.

He tried to quiet his breathing lest someone come across his hiding place and discover him and did his best to quell his tears. Nanneth and Elrond were almost certainly killed, Ada was away at sea, and Elros was entirely alone. No one to protect him, no one to pull him out of the spiral he had fallen into.

Just as he was about to lose the battle with his tears, he heard a scuffling outside of the hollow. His heart skipped a beat and he clamped a hand over his mouth to stop his squeak of fear from escaping, but as he listened more closely, the scuffling sounded… strange. Unsteady, lightfooted, not accompanied by any clank of armor or weapons.

Elros chanced a glance out of his hiding spot only to see Elrond! He called to him in a harsh whisper, beckoning him towards the hollow. As soon as he was within reach, Elros pulled him inside and pushed the both of them as deep in as they could go, so that they could only be seen from above.

“What happened?” he asked in a soft whisper. “Where is Nana?”

Elrond didn’t react, staring directly at him with wide eyes and uneven pupils, not registering a thing in front of his face. A cursory glance revealed the probable cause of his brother’s condition: a massive bruise blooming in the middle of his forehead to complement his still sluggishly bleeding nose. That wasn’t good. If Elrond was hurt so obviously, he could be hurt elsewhere. But if he could not speak, he couldn’t tell Elros where and how he was hurt.

Gently, Elros took Elrond’s hand and pushed his sleeve up, checking for injuries like Nana had taught them. As he searched, he spoke to Elrond, trying to get some kind of response from him. “We’ll be alright. We are outside of the village and away from the kinslayers where they cannot find us.”

No response. Elros tried a different tactic. “What… is your favorite plant today? I know that changes all the time. Is it something edible? Something pretty? Something… venomous?”

Still nothing. The damage was clearly far beyond anything Elros could treat if Elrond would not even correct his simple mistake of poisonous vs. venomous. He needed a healer

Elros kept up a constant stream of quiet chatter as he finished checking Elrond for wounds and made plans for how to get him to a healer. They would sneak out of the hollow at nightfall - surely the kinslayers would be gone by then - and find other survivors. But what if there were no other survivors? Elros immediately pushed the thought away- it was unhelpful and, if it were true, they were doomed.

All of a sudden, a shadow fell over them. Elros fell silent immediately, praying it was just a cloud or some large bird.

His prayer went unheard.

Above him loomed a monstrous figure, stained with blood and impossibly tall, staring hardly down at him. Elros hit, kicked, and bit as he was dragged out by the scruff of his neck and handed off to another kinslayer, but was unable to do any real damage.

He took no notice as he was handed to yet another murderer, this one on a horse, and taken to the nearby Fëanorian camp. He took no notice of his home burning behind him. He took no notice of the dark-haired Fëanorian’s calls for a healer.

He did take notice when Elrond began to scream as if stabbed when they passed a stretcher bearing a redheaded corpse.

What would become of them?

I also wrote what happened to Elrond (this is technically chapter 2) but it was a little gory for this challenge week. If you want to read it though, you can find it here.
