vacation sketches!! i HAVE been working on digital stuff, but its gonna be a while before any of it is posted bc its mostly Big Projects!!

the silt verses sketches were partly drawn on early morning walks to the beach (listening to tsv of course), and the others are observational sketches of taxidermy/model animals in a museum, drawn while listening to the podcast travelling light as a balm to the damaged psyche tsv left me with <3

You ever just rewatch TribeTwelve, see the Observer and have an overwhelming feeling of potentially incorrect realization?

Cause that’s me right now and I’m not going to clarify unless I’m told I’m right first

“You call my implications accusatory?” Inscrutable, a monotone layer of disinclined voice beneath a mask. He rules the space above her without so much as tipping his visor. “Careful, princess ─ you already misstepped, and I only made an observation.” He idles at the behest of her family's crude technology. They've digitalized caches for their libraries, and networks communicate between the planet's nodal points, but these are not the systems built for reconnaissance or galactic intelligence. Kylo Ren stares into the frigid soul of a transmuting interface: blues on purples on blues, overlaid against the backdrop wilderness beyond verandas, and chilled springtime air, crisp on twilight's eve. He might be more patient with the panels if not for her fatuous pretense. He might be more patient with her if not for the panels. “For a royal girl who makes a public mockery of her name, you still encourage every parvenu who so much as looks your way. Do they whisper pretty words? Do you actually believe them?” When Kylo looks down at her, his tracery is sharper, cutting, electrified by the neon cold. His mask has been relieved of its cowl and now wears a crown of the dying suns beyond the sunroof. “I told you when those self-avowed politicians landed not to involve yourself. Whatever affairs you've arranged, end them.”

"No. You've overstepped." Romantic politics did not fall under the umbrella of his concern. Raoul had been the catapult back to her desire bone. The predecessor to the pedestal boyfriend. A glimmer of hope that all she once was and felt could be felt again. But he wasn't everlasting. The passion did not throb but dimmed. Nevertheless, the thread of chemistry that initially caught them must still buzz. She does not know how else Kylo would know there was something deeper than acquaintance or suspect anything had been arranged currently. The dialogue exchanged hadn't been flirtatious, had it?

It's sting to the salt when he brings up her repute in such a manner. And even his obvious jealousy does nothing to soothe it. At least not soon enough to soften the blow and the expression that flickers across her face before attempting to replace it with something more bare.

"You exude envy. It's all I feel from you right now. Do you believe it as you try to deny it? Because I don't think you do."

He reveals his face and her heart hitches. Verity rushes in and causes unsteady knees. She takes a half step back on impulse. But her chin tips up to meet his gaze as recovery. She's glad she's said what she could because, with actual eye contact, she feels less brave to address the man behind the machine. Or rather, be reminded that he was no machine nor monster at all, but just a boy. If Raoul was a catapult, Kylo felt like the hand she was thrown into. And it was pure fire. She was not afraid of him but afraid of how he made her feel.

"Consider any affair, new or old, ended. Now apologize."

Temporary love,permanent slavery

Words of terror and trauma

Fail to haunt me

I've heard them for long enough

To get used to them

She hasn't seen the world

She has only seen the suffering

While I agree the world is full of suffering

Joy can be seen

Like a children eating candy

Or getting a toy

Or Winning a race

That's pure joy

Where does it lose it's way growing up?

I wonder

When does the responsibilities and expectations weigh you down so much,that you couldn't feel your feet on the ground?

When they're telling you to survive

But you're already halfway through the life,at sixteen

You're already underground

Then you throw the heavy trolly

That you were carrying

Make your way out

It's supposed to walk with you

You observe

Not to make you lose your strength to walk

Who do I tell this to?

The woman who's already deeply underground with all those who put her there?

She'd never hear my voice

Never understand that trolly can walk too

That life is not a blueprint

And success is not a copy

That companionship and love wins

While norms,hatred and society lose

When did the society made for people to feel included

Became a rope they chock you with?

When the love they show you momentarily

Becomes the reason of your slavery permanently

And 'tis too late

To turn the love to permanent

Too late to save your shadows from being your shadow

You feel

'Tis too late

Dear mother, 'tis not

And I promise,you'd see that one day

You'd see me rise above

And see my shadows grow on their own

I'd ask you,give you a hand

Just don't you turn away

Please don't you turn away

Unfond of this new style of illustration for item artwork on Neopets- the Chokato Kiko Taffy clearly took a lot of time and effort to render, all for a result that looks vastly more uncanny than the Bubblegum Kiko Taffy + the rest of the item set it was based off of.

The final image is only 80x80px, there's no need to give it that type of rendering treatment! It only makes image less clear. In addition, making the pupils smaller, adding an outline to the iris and reducing the mouth to a pinprick combine to make the face look creepy and haunted doll-like instead of cute.

ok maybe this is just me but like, i Feel like people. underhighlight how a Lot of pvpers are just really really good strategists

(more rambling about this under the cut) but like. speaking from someone who's familiar with lifesteal and ivorycello's content, someone like clown isn't just someone who's 1) very skilled at the game, but he's also very good at picking up exactly what he lacks in and how to make up his skills effectively And efficiently

an example would be how clown grinded for 64 god apples because he knew how much the lifesteal server has improved at pvp in general (fun fact on his testrun ep he talks about how everyone has massively improved) (and on top of that him touching grass and not practicing /lh) but, since he knows he cannot rely on pure skill alone (and can't train that much in time) he makes up for those disadvantages by grinding materials to ensure he'll be able to get by, even if it's just barely (he also! observes other people's moves too! ex: during a s3 fight vi and some other people were chasing him down and were supply chaining until they finally wore clown down enough to kill him--and clown was a really good sport about it! and started talking to them about the supply chain strategy and complimented how it worked so well!!! he's good at analyzing stuff, with the whole thing about being able to reconize the other lifestealers have gotten so good that they'd probably kick his ass back in s2 now! the fact hes able to anaylize his own and others pvp is...really cool i think)

and ivory falls under this category as well, you can most clearly see it on her doly 1v1 video, but she's able to figure out exactly what aspects doly uses to his advantage (even to figuring out his ping and how they affect his pcrits) and from that she's able to figure out how to turn those exact methods on top of their heads and build up her own strategies to directly combat what doly was, probably, doing subconsciously. holy hell that's such a cool concept??? like ivory herself admits in her own video that she is a relatively new pvper and the fact she was able to synthesize that much information into a strategy that beat out someone who has so much more experince than her? that's so fucking badass

maybe this is just me not looking in the right places but. i Really do think people like clown's and ivory's skills as strategists should be highlighted more. like, i feel like it humanzies them a lot more. makes them feel like people that just so happen to be very skilled instead of undefeatable figureheads who are powerful beyond comprehension. even though that's their reputation, they're still just people at the end of the day and i think that's an interesting dichotomy to explore <3

Hobie Brown/Spider-Punk's Possible Astrology Placements

Hi! This has been in my drafts ever since I watched ASTV, so here's what I think Hobie Brown's big 6 are :

Aquarius sun :

I think this is probably the most non-brainer of all his placements. Hobie is a punk anarchist who hates authority, structure, and consistency. He helped Miles, who was antagonized by everyone at Spider-Society and believed in him against all odds. he will not praise structure for merely existing especially if said structure thrives on sacrificing the minority for the benefit of the majority: you can't get any more aquarian than that 🤷‍♀️.

(I also think his constant clash with Miguel comes from the fact Miguel is a Scorpio with probably several other Scorpio placements squaring Hobie's.)

Sagittarius moon :

He has firm convictions (sag is the philosopher, the guru) fueled by his sun sign's drive for equality sans authority. He's also very influential and has a massive following of people who take his words as gospel without him even trying. Nevertheless, he doesn't take himself too seriously and knows how to joke around and not be too uptight. Having a Sagittarius moon could also be why he loves to keep everyone on their toes since Sagittarius despises stagnancy and predictability.

gif cr. : happy-xy

Aquarius mercury :

his inventive and crafty nature, his wittiness and slightly-too-frank humor, his understanding of deeply complicated subjects like societal structures and political power, not to forget how he was the first one to predict the downfall of Spider-Society and begin planning for it... His intelligence, inventive nature, and almost prophetic sense of futuristic vision all point to having an Aquarius mercury.

gif cr. : cost.

Aries venus :

Hobie loves spikes, piercings, and tattoos, all things sharp and edgy ruled by Mars. He's also not afraid to express his affection and liking for people he just met (like with Miles, he immediately coddled him as if they were long-term best friends). The unabashed way he expresses himself on top of being rebellious and rooting for the underdogs to speak up (showing Miles how to break from Miguel's shield) are very Aries Venus actions.

Aquarius mars :

Having a Saturn-ruled Mars explains why he was able to plan ahead for the upcoming divide of the Spider Society, likewise how he managed to remain cool-headed through all the conflict between Miguel and Miles (Saturn is a cold and calculating planet); He was able to predict the clashes to happen because he can recognize patterns early: that's his Aquarius mars conjunct mercury in action.

Aries rising :

I think this one was the hardest one to pin down... Hobie was described as tall and lean, with a prominent bone structure (Saturn influence), and his spider suit was designed with spikes all over. He was born in an autocratic society and overthrew -then killed- the despot of his universe... This has a lot of Martian themes like rebellion, leadership, fearlessness, standing up for the weak... But his ability to persevere under such circumstances, plan out things far ahead, and remain coolheaded is definitely due to his Aquarius Mars being his chart ruler.

This would be it! let me know what you think of these specific placements, and if you'd like me to do a similar run-down of a character you like just send me an ask <3 have a good day!!

With the release of From The Rehearsal Room - Tokyo to Ramin's youtube I finally, finally, continue and finish this side project I'm doing.

Initially, I used AI to mastered it because the first version I got from bilibili were not in good quality but I wasn't satisfied and I found the much better quality. But with Ramin uploaded it to youtube, I re did all the mastering just with audacity for both Part 1 and Part 2. The Part 2 is still from the better version I found from bilibili, by the way.

What you need to do is just download the file and put it on your music player. The metadata is all completed as if it's whole legit album. Enjoy, guys!!

And I'm being weird so all the lyrics that are put there are from my listening although I still use what I found online but I still listened and compared. They made few ad-libs and changes and I notice because for the songs that I wasn't familiar, the lyric that I found online and what they sang was slightly different. Perhaps they sing the newer version of the lyrics or mistakes? Even each Sheytoons songs they sing one in both parts differ from the ones I found online.

Another sample from my favorite:

i know jack shit about looney tunes i didn’t have cable and still don’t. why are they looney and what music are they playing

They’re looney because they were created in the 1930’s~ when rubber hose slapstick was super popular and they’re Tunes because it’s not only like toon but because every animated short would have an accompanying orchestra piece to match with movements and actions and story beats, thus making the Looney Tune cartoons

The joyous ruckus as Damien put it when hearing that his Father be celebrating his special day and sighing when at a distance with that longing in his eyes, "Damn good Dad you are, damn good... same with Mom too. Mmm..." little did he know that someone would catch a glimpse of him when finding the mysterious bird lingering on the outskirts looking in.

"Happy Birthday, Dad. Here's to a grand night for you, I know Mom probably be waiting for you later knowing her. Heh..."

Lost in his thoughts when a pair of well loved dove and crow plushies hung out of his bag while smiling though feeling like he wanted to cry, knowing fully well he was to be hidden but he was trying to be careful with observing the joyous time happening.

[steel--fairy]

continuing on my rambles

thinking about cheren's family now. like theres a whole Thing with bianca's dad and you talk to the players mom several times, but cheren's parents don't have any plot relevance and don't really say anything beyond generic one liners.

[nether-twins]

"I'm not even going to try and ask why people are suddenly flexing here..." Or do it himself. It all just seemed so childish and pointless.

Astrology analysis - Spider verse Edition

Came up with this idea out of nowhere but I love this movie series so much idk how I could not analyze the characters!! I’m so invested in them lol.

**Major spoilers ahead

Miles Morales/ Spider-Man:

Capricorn Rising: This was tough but I really thought about the filter that Miles sees the world through and how much of his journey has to deal with the pressure put upon him and how he has to find a way to be himself. Hes pushed to succeed and has ambitious goals in his school life. He often finds himself isolated due to how much is on his plate. He’s a ground breaking spider-man like no other.

Leo Sun: He’s a confident kid. Even if he juggles too much on his plate. He’s outgoing and kind, and actually very social and eager. He can underestimate situations because of his ego sometimes and that trips him up. He also can catch a lot of attention, for doing very well and not so well. Leos tend to catch attention when they’re showing off and when they’re messing up.

Virgo Moon: Anxious and analytical. He picks up on the details that no one else notices and often uses that to his advantage. Even when he gets passed his like Spider-Man stage fright he still gets a bit tripped up and is hard on himself. He does gain the confidence to go his own way, even if he’s still a bit vulnerable. He feels deeply even if others can’t see it. He’s a genius kid too.

Capricorn Mercury: it was the way he stood up for himself and vowed to go his own way after Miguel sent everyone after him. In my experience Capricorn/Saturn can show where you have to stand up for yourself and Miles had to write his expectations of what he would live up to in into the spiderverse then in across the spiderverse he was forced to defend himself and go his own way. He also is a clever thinker and gets under estimated as being out of his depth which is more about his Mercury being conjunct his Ascendant but I thought I’d add my two cents.

Pisces Venus: He’s an artist and a daydreamer. Super sweet towards Gwen and cute and passive about his crush. Heartbroken when she betrayed him. :/ Also he’s pretty liable to being influenced by the people in his social circles.

Virgo Mars: Okay mars can point to dexterity too, and he’s acrobatic but also awkward. He’s a teenager yes, but the other teens have a bit more grace. Miles will often move and fight in a way that’s super out of the box though. He’s also not really a confrontational kid, but he holds his own when it comes down to it. He also has a long term crush on Gwen, which I think virgo mars can become really attached when they catch feelings.

Spider-Gwen:

Scorpio Rising: she’s intense and has a lot going on. She’s perceptive. She’s alternative and expresses her intense emotions through outlets like the drums. She gives me moon rising energy of like having a world full of emotional complexity and depth. But Scorpio moon rising so it’s a world full of harsh edges that can be hard to gaze into and totally understand unless you’ve gone through a lot like she has. (Hence the whole not doing friends thing but obviously acting from an emotionally wounded place and being loyal to the people that helped her to a self sabotaging degree)

Capricorn Sun: Only because I think she’s a bit of a hardass lol. Ok let me not skip ahead. She works very hard, is intelligent, and very difficult to get close to. She tends to trust older people in power and they continue to disappoint her. I find that Capricorn placements often have a theme of being forced to come into their own because of immature/underdeveloped adults in their lives. She has a sense of humor and can come back to earth when she’s not singlemindedly focused on her duties though.

Scorpio Moon: A heavy theme of loss in her life. She has emotional scars and pent up anger about “mistakes” she’s made and friends she hasn’t been able to save. She feels deeply and emotionally. And she vows to redeem herself. (Scorpio Stellium energy too)

Capricorn Mercury: dry Wit and communication style. Always a lot going on in her head that she won’t really vocalize to people on the outside.

Scorpio Venus: All of her friends have meant so much to her. She carries their memories with her in her heart and on her mind. When she lost Peter it made such an extreme impression on her she vowed not to have friends again. Yet when she met Miles she felt closer to him than she had with anyone in a while. She betrayed him and has to work on building up trust between them again. It’s like she has a wound to repair over her friendships and relationships in general.

Libra Mars: Moves with grace and dexterity. Very angry but not very confrontational, especially when it comes down to figures wronging her personally. She has a strong sense of justice too and that drives her to action, especially when others can be harmed. She’s also into Miles because he’s kind, authentic, and has a strong sense of doing the right thing no matter what.

Peter B Parker:

Pisces Rising: I think it’s a combination of just how clearly his mood affects his appearance (he was having a rough time in the first film lest we forget) and how like he’s seen as super heroic and is our classic SpiderMan but he’s also been through a lot of emotional times but is always effected by new connections and new people coming into his life. It’s the fluidity of how much the world still effects him in his 40s for me. He’s also very sentimental.

Virgo Sun: Because he’s so smart and so tired and seemingly cynical about solving the problems that go on but he’ll still step up and save the day and help the kid that seems him to be their mentor (is it weird that he reminds me a tiny tiny bit of Kakashi? It’s that anti mentor architype but they’re still a good mentor at the end of the day.). He’s also self sacrificing, the day has to be saved no matter what. (Also the way he treated miles and tried to say it was help miles in across the spiderverse, if you’ve ever known a Virgo man you probably get what I mean lmao, a very virgo way to rationalize betrayal ngl)

Taurus Moon: He’s an older SpiderMan and he’s tired but he’s also able to bounce back despite a bunch of trauma and sadness. Not immediately, like any fixed sign it takes time, but he gets his groove back. (He was a wreck for a while though and when Taurus moons are having a rough time, they’re having the worst time) He’s also not nearly as tough as he pretends to be and he’s a softie and and a romantic. And he loves being a dad so much. Just an overall nice guy (even if he does screw up).

Virgo Mercury: He’s always too tired to explain what’s happening and what needs to be done but he will explain it! Lol

Taurus Venus: he loves May because she’s as grounded and emotionally understanding as she is beautiful. He also like really loves her and is heart broken when it doesn’t work out. He gets over his fear of having kids and they get right back together and it’s beautiful (*cry*)

Cancer Mars: He loves his family so much. He’s a burnt out husk without them. And he’s completely rejuvenated by getting back with May and becoming a dad and finding hope in being Miles mentor. He’s protective over everyone at once even if that doesn’t work out. (Also like heavy on trying to protect Miles but not be honest with him and doing that lowkey emotional manipulation thing that cancer placements can do sometimes..) also I just keep thinking of that seahorse scene from into the spiderverse and that’s his whole cancer mars vibe imo lol.

Pavitr Prabhakar/Spider-Man India:

Leo Rising: He’s like a textbook, non insecure Leo rising! He’s popular and beloved as both spider-man and Pavitr. Everyone loves him and he’s super confident and a little naive. He’s even got the luscious Leo hair.

Pisces Sun: he’s light hearted and a little naive about the whole being Spider-Man thing. But he’s bc such a sweetheart. He even immediately supports Gwen and Miles getting together. An overall cutie we appreciate it.

Cancer Moon: Immediately checks the romantic tension vibe and has that like “you can’t get anything past me” intuition thing that cancer moons and venuses usually do. He cares a lot about his friends and his family and has deep loyalty towards Miles for helping save them.

Leo Mercury: He’ll just say what’s on his mind and say it loudly. He likes to be charming but that’s not his main goal.

Leo Venus: He loves his super cool girlfriend and likes most of the attention they get together. He loves his friends too and he’s super loyal. (Also Leo stellium energy am I right?)

Gemini Mars: very tricky to figure out lol, but he’s got that similar Mercurial mars gracefulness. I feel like he moves a lot more sporadically than a Virgo mars would. He also has a lot of wit and lightheartedness to his words and actions.

Hobie Brown/Spider Punk:

(WHAT AN ICON!! I love a leftist anarchist actually getting shit done omg such a real one)

Sagittarius Rising: Sees the world uniquely, he’s able to see out of the box solutions to problems. Cracks a lot of jokes but also political ones all the time. He isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers. A lot of people love him and a few really hate him.

Aries Sun: Charismatic and coming in with a big burst of energy. The first to call out the corruption in the spider org.

Scorpio Moon: Very alt and very cool. Careful about who he lets in. He’s good at reading everyone (immediately clocks Miguel’s bad intent and Miles’ stand out potential). He has a strong moral code and knows who to align with and against but doesn’t let anyone see his plans.

Sagittarius Mercury: Blunt and calls out a lot of shit. And like will ask the uncomfortable questions and give uncomfortable advice. Also cracks like 20 jokes in his first few minutes on screen.

Aquarius Venus: Lots of friends and lots of philosophizing with those friends. Can really irk some people and charm the rest. Thinks deeply and is reliable but in a birds eye view sort of way.

Aries Mars: unafraid to get stuff done, has that sun conjunct mars energy of putting action behind what they believe.

Miguel O’Hara:

Scorpio Rising: Have you seen him?? Fr, he’s dark and intimidating and intense. He has a cynical view of things abd can be very attached to how things are supposed to be done. He also gets intensely fixated.

Capricorn Sun: Built the whole spider organization from the ground up and he runs it according to his very strict standards. Asserts himself at the top and as the correct one in many situations.

Aries Moon: He’s independent and single minded. His anger distracts him and wholly takes over his focus. His anger gets pretty explosive as well.

Capricorn Mercury: Not a lot of small talk from this guy. Very my way or the highway.

Cancer Venus: family was the most important thing to him and he has an emotional scar over losing them.

Scorpio Mars: If you cross him he’ll hunt you down and make you pay. Even if you just disagree with him it’s a fight. He seems like he used to be softer on his loved ones but he’s acting from an emotionally selfish place now. Also strong Mars rising energy, very aggressive.

(Will follow up with SpiderWoman, Spider- Byte, Peni Parker, Spider Man Noir, and Spider Ham after the next movie if you guys want ;0)
