(Unseen Academicals, Terry Pratchett) I think Shang Qinghua and Ponder Stibbons should have tea and compare notes about somehow accumulating so much behind-the-scenes power by doing menial jobs no one else wants that they could basically run the show if they wanted...

meanwhile we have Shen "meh good enough" Qingqiu

If I'm honest, the whole "love in every stitch" saying for fiber artists does not apply to me, like. I'm trying to get this fucking hook into stubborn yarn and I'll be stabbing it like it owed me money. Is that love because I hope not 😭💀

Break the Barriers.

Centuries ago a god was sealed in chains for breaking down the boundary between life and death, banished from his family for the rest of eternity for a betrayal never planned.

Who would’ve thought such a feat would cause the barrier to break further?

All it took was a standard harvest ritual and a very experimental lamb.

The large lush farmlands were quite the sight compared to what those in the village had experienced prior, food never a shortage, never withheld even when misbehaviors occurred.

But it could never hold a candle to the gardens, oh for they were the shepherd’s greatest joy.

A weeping Willow stood tall in the center, a beautiful stone statue of a lamb before it, moss and lichen grew up the sides. A testament to how long ago the gift had been given.

Camellias grew around, their height evident of the gentle care the Shepherd had given them, branches bending and twisting with each careful dance. Not tied to one color they grew in shades of reds to whites.

Hooven hands grew green with lichen during the festivals, just as pawed hands became tainted with red. Crowns rest upon their head, one of annoyance, one of joy.

Hands intertwined as music played, the leaders, the gods. A celebration. One of love and joy, of binding and beauty, of life and death no longer being able to separate two lovers.

Town a buzz, garlands hung from the lights, a table of food. Loud cheers, excited laughter, and music played by the wood worker’s makeshift band. The happy couple in a daze, blinded by all the chaos in their midst unable to notice the missing pair.

Their rings were awfully dull compared to the newly weds, not even proper. A black shackle on a horn, a small Camellia on the ear.

Yet when the two found themselves alone, all else seemed forgotten.

Hearts beat in one, the distant chatter becoming white noise, the hurt that blinds them so left behind. For now they were as happy as a bride and groom.

He of death.

They of life.

Also, on a less sad and more angry note, as much as I've enjoyed this game so far, why do they feel the need to stick this essential item in A PITCH BLACK ROOMS FULL OF ENEMIES?!

Hey everyone!! So I’m still recovering from residual covid stuff and not feeling 100%, but I’ve acquired some energy at the moment to post some things I’ve managed to work on while I was sick. This first thing I’ve got to share here is a ref for Reese!!  (⬅️Link to more into on him there!)

(⚠️warning, there’s a lot of rambling here below the cut⚠️)

  Okay, so this ref was intended to be done around the same time as Donald's, but I ended up going on a bit of a journey when it came to Reese's hair. I had been wanting to change it for a while because there were some details about it that didn't make much sense that bothered me, like when drawing it at different angles. I also noticed that when I got art commissioned of him, the artists seemed to be rather confused on how his hair worked, and I got two different depictions of his hair. And this was not by resquest mind you, I think they ended up drawing his hair the way they did because they were simply trying to figure out how it worked. 😅 And I don’t blame them, because even I was confused about how his hair actually worked.

I honestly didn’t even know what kind of hairstyle I was going for with him before. I just wanted some kind of spiky-ness going on because I was going for a kind of punk rock vibe. And for the most part I did like how it looked, but it just wasn’t very functional. 

So when redesigning his hair, I wanted to make it more comprehensive while also making sure it still fit Reese’s character and vibe. And when I say it was a journey trying to pick on that worked and felt good, it was a JOURNEY. 

Art first I was going for a slicked/combed back look because that’s the kind of style I saw the artists I commissioned doing, and it looked like the best bet to try and go for a style like that if I wanted to try and preserve his older style. I messed around with a lot of different options but nothing really worked for me. It all ended up looking kinda weird and I just wasn’t fully satisfied with it. 

I even tried other long-haired styles that were more functional but would still add some spikiness to his hair in some way, but I didn’t really like how those looked on him either. At some point, I started to realize that I liked the look of him just having long hair in general, and that it didn’t really have to be spiky. Soooo… that’s when I started drawing his hair without any spiky-ness, and eventually into what I’ve got here now. This turned out to be the style that I felt the most comfortable with him having. I think it looks good on him! Plus I still got to have him keep that lighter color of hair, but this time it’s applied in what I feel like is a more natural-looking way.

Ummm I don’t really know what else I want to say at the moment so I think I’m done rambling for now! I plan on posting an extra thing showing some alternate hairstyles that he does. One thing I really like about his updated hair design is that it feels more versatile and that a lot of stuff can be done with it, so I’ll be having fun with that!

Imagine you have horns, but you're in a really shitty situation and the people with power over you don't want you to have your horns. Having horns makes you a threat, makes them scared you'll fight back, so they file your horns down or just cut them off. Whenever your horns grow back, they're filed back down, never getting a chance to be more than bumps on your head.

Eventually you finally get out. You make it on your own for a while, figuring things out, and your horns gradually grow in. You can take care of yourself now, you can defend yourself. And you're alone.

One day, you meet someone. They're nice, friendly, and the time you spend with them is good. You meet them again. And again, and again, feeling more and more comfortable around them each time. Eventually, the topic of housing comes up, and when you bring up how much cheaper it is to share a place, they say that sounds like a great idea.

And as you sit on the couch together, you feel happier than you've ever felt. Being with them makes everything feel perfect. You lean into them-

And stab them with your horns.

Later that day, they open the bathroom door to find you taking a nail file to your horns. They snatch it from you. "No, stop, what are you doing?!"

"I'm fixing them. I'm making myself safe."

"Don't do that. Don't... destroy yourself like this."

"It's okay. If it's for you, then it's okay."

"I don't want you to do this. I don't want you to cut off parts of yourself for me, I want you to be happy."

"Being with you is the happiest I've ever felt. I'll give anything to stay with you."

"You don't need to do this."

"But I'm dangerous. What if I hurt you again?"

"Then I'll get another bandage and we'll talk about how to avoid it next time. It'll be okay. We'll figure it all out. For now..."

They hand you a pair of these:
