Some details for archaeology nerds (Here we go again AHAHAHA)
First of all the costume Alfred wears in this pic is BY NO MEANS historical accurate, but if we really want to be 100% accurate then to my knowledge there’s a high chance that Alfred wouldn’t be wearing dresses gowns at all (whoever decided to make Alfred wear those pretty cough dresses cough in the show I wish your family to prosper for all eternity YOU’RE A HERO), so instead I just chose to design whatever clothes I want and add some Anglo-Saxon elements in it :)
1. Alfred’s earrings
Took inspiration from the 7th century Anglo-Saxon/Frankish crystal ball, now in Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Here’s the thing, I know English men (and the monarchs) don’t wear earrings until the 16th century and earrings weren’t even popular during the Anglo-Saxon period, but once I saw Charles I wearing pearl earrings in his portrait I just can’t help but put something pretty on Alfred’s ears as well lol…Sadly I can’t find the exact size of this one but the official site says that it was used as a pendant/an amulet! Probably for pagan practices though, but it’s pretty, isn’t it? :D

2. Patterns on Alfred’s gown
Taken from the patterns on the Bewcastle Cross in Cumbria (which used to belong to Northumbria, built in around the 7th to early 8th century, aka the period Bede lived in.

3. The woven band
The pattern is taken from the Laceby band found in Laceby, Lincolnshire, dated to early 7th century. It seems both Scandinavians and Anglo-Saxons enjoy wearing tablet-woven bands? Saw this kind of things a lot in viking clothes reconstruction as well.

4. …Whatever this is
From fol. 34r in Book of Kells, the famous Celtic gospel book completed in Ireland circa 800 AD. As you can see I got lazy during drawing this lol but the illustrations in the original manuscripts are really impressive!

Now I don’t know if this is a good news or not but I’ve still got like…six wips for alhtred in hand…Good god of arts DELIVER ME

That is all thank you
ANSWERED: Art credit for da first Ren meme goes to @meo-eiru!!
BUT HELPPPPP THESE ARE SO FUNNY JDSGJH T_T The Moth meme + Uno meme had me CACKLING lmaoooooooo
#This has been happening a lot recently (and is by no means directed to OP) but!! Just a reminder to credit artists if you use their art!!#And it's always better to ask for permission beforehand; some artists don't like havin their art shared / reposted / reuploaded / etc.#They put in effort to create content for you to consume; so it's only fair to give them da proper credit and exposure in return!!#''Credits to the original creator'' and ''I found the image on google / pinterest / etc.'' isn't a good enough excuse >.<#If you can't find the creator; don't share it. And at the very least try to reverse image search to locate the source#But!!!! With all that being said:#Everyone is welcome to use the official 14DWY sprites/game assets without asking for my permission or giving credit!#I personally think it's ok because game assets can be found /within/ the game itself; it's not like folks have to go on a search hunt--#--to find a specific artist. They can find the art/asset within the game without having to do the extra steps.#If that makes any sense??#Like the 14DWY style is fairly recognisable if you're familiar with the game; folks don't need to reverse image search for anything.#Anyways I'm done ranting in da tags#I might make this an actual post in the future because; again; this has been happening a lot recently in the 14dwy tag/my askbox#and all these talented artists don't deserve this ;n;#Plus it shouldn't be my job to be the one giving credit..... T_T /lh /nm#OKOK I'm done for realsies now#Thank you OP for making these memes!! And sorry for ranting on what's supposed to be a lighthearted post dghjdgjhsg ^^;#💜 — 14dwy memes.#💌 — answered.#💖 — 14 days with queue.

OMORITOBER DAY 14: LIBRARY
i like to imagine spirit mari tossing down her favorite memories for omori to read while peeking around to see omori's reaction :3
i was thinkin of drawing her too, but honestly i wasnt very sure what pose to do and i was a bit tired !!
thanks to @/ntrogensolar for the omoritober prompt list!
extra rant in the tags ab why this isnt a full piece!
#artists on tumblr#omori#omori fanart#omoritober#inktober#ez_draws#ez_rants#so heres the deal#i get very tired easily with the whole onyl certain amount of 'spoons' per day thing#i spend most of my time doing my homework#and after that i feel like ive gotta finish the drawing for the day#this means i subconsiously sacrifice time doing things that i truly wanna do including spending time with my friends and doing other things#if i prioritize doing the things that i want to do a little more than this challenge#it ends with me kiiinnddaaa staying up pretty late trying to finish the art#and also lower quality art in general!#however i dont wanna quit the challenge just yet; we'll see how things go but for now i was thinking just doing a sketch! it allows me to-#still do a daily drawing which is great for someone who sometimes goes months without drawing and still not burning myself out on the dail#for example - this drawing took about an hour even though i took my time! and i was also able to spend time with friends and family and-#still be productive! i know i dont have to explain myself; its my art after all but yk i like to explain stuff especially when in relation#to my art! i wanna make sure the art i make is something i truly enjoy and not a plaguing responsibility- so i'll be adapting this-#challenge to my own needs! anyway thats all- sorry for the long rant! and congrats to the people who have enough time and motivation to do#the full challenge!!!#ok byebyeee! and i might be posting more silly sketches in my free time!#rant over <3

Can we talk about The Dying Swan moment in Coda? As someone who was once a very serious ballerina, I need to talk about the Dying Swan. Here's your context --
CHAKOTAY: Harry's clarinet solo was okay. I could have done without Tuvok's reading of Vulcan poetry. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Kathryn Janeway portraying the Dying Swan. JANEWAY: I learned that dance when I was six years old. I assure you, it was the hit of the Beginning Ballet class.
Have you seen The Dying Swan? It is dramatic.
Here, take a minute:
youtube
First of all, this dance is much too advanced for a six-year-old, even if they’re doing it in demi pointe. (Six-year-olds emphatically should not be in pointe shoes btw.) The dance is almost entirely bourees and arm movements done to very subtle musical cues, not the foundational ballet moves typically taught in Beginning Ballet.
This is a very vulnerable, dramatic dance that is effective because of its subtleties. The performer would need to embody that vulnerability in some way for a convincing performance. It's short, but it's a solo piece -- all eyes on you. I mean, it was choreographed for a prima ballerina, BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT
Can you imagine our unflappable Captain Janeway willingly getting in front of her crew to do this ballet? I get that it’s thematically relevant to the plot of Coda, but since Janeway is only vulnerable in front of her crew when it means putting herself in harm’s way, it seems like a wild decision. She tends to hold herself apart from her crew, maintaining the professional distance of the captain. Further, when she does any creative pursuit, it is almost always in private, since her sister was the artist in the family and she was the scientist. As a captain, she commands Voyager in a much different way than she would as a dancer with this piece. I'm not saying she never shows vulnerability because she definitely does, but not necessarily in this way. Then when she talks about it with Chakotay, she just casually brushes it off with a laugh like no big deal.
There’s also the question of costume – would she have gone full tutu? Done it in her Starfleet uniform? An impeccable yet flow-y white suit? She does get into costume and command a performance in Bride of Chaotica!, but Coda is still kind of early days for our captain. Arachnia aligns more with what we know about Janeway's character.
Granted, it is Chakotay laying down these complements about her dancing ability and he is clearly biased. To be fair, Neelix does too before they leave in the shuttle. If she did this dance and performed it poorly or amazingly, I feel like the crew would look at her a bit differently afterwards.
Canonically she did The Dying Swan, but I certainly have trouble picturing it happening.

not against the proliferation of pitch correction in the sense that i think it's somehow ""cheating"" or that i care if someone edits their vocals in any way but incredibly wary of the assumptions that seem to underlie its near ubiquitous use; that the perfectly pitched version of a song is necessarily the most beautiful version and that the most beautiful version is necessarily the artistically superior one. assumptions which i feel have terrible implications for both the quality of the art and the self-image of artists

I don't know why most other artists i've faced in my life refuse to help or support or befriend or work with me in any way because they're obsessed with making art a competition. i'm the least competitive person you will ever meet. what's being kind and helpful and supportive and cooperative towards me going to do to you?! i'm not good enough at art to even be a threat if I tried! I don't get why they act like this towards me. I cant do anything to hurt your art career, so why are you trying to hurt mine?! I don't get it.
#anyone else feel this? and dont get it?#and if youre the type of artist that tries to compete with everyone and refuses to support smaller artists but climbs up bigger ones#like a kitten trying to steal food out of their hand....why. why are you like this. why cant you be normal.#why cant we all help and support each other?????????#art#artist#artist on tumblr#small art account#small artist#small creator#lee text#sorry for this random rant. im just tired and disappointed that i cant get other artists to cooperate with me#and stop pulling me into competitions i never signed up for!!!!!!!#im never allowed to be oart of groups or collabs because theyre too strict and elitist and for what#because they think ill try to use them to get ahead??? so they only want artists they can use instead? pathetic and gross mindset!!!#i can never get anyone to talk about this stuff with me. i get ignored as if im the only one noticing or experiencing it#but that might just be because im the only artist not trying to compete with other artists and I SEE US ALL AS EQUALS#you hear that?! none of you are better than me even if you make a million dollars on art. sit your ass down#and none of you are below me either even if you picked up a pencil fkr the first time yesterday!#humble yourself and treat other better and support each other and cooperate more. it might help you in the end#i probably posted about some of the bad artist experiences i had while trying to do a collab and getting bullied rhe whole time#or the new artists i tried to befriend who straight up said theyre better than me and treated me like a fan instead of an equal#that pisses me off lmao i hate that kind of behavior#ok im done back to silly lil guy posting~

karma by taylor swift!
so the thing is about taylor swift. i put her discography on shuffle and listen to whatever but the spotify shuffle button/algorithm is the worst thing to ever happen to me bc it just plays the most popular songs instead of actually shuffling
my fav songs never get played on ahuffle. even when i shuffle my liked songs

hi do you have plans on writing a sequel to the way life goes?
hi anon!! i don’t currently have any plans for a sequel, and tbh i really like that fic as a stand-alone since i based it off a song and anything i wrote beyond the og fic wouldn’t be true to the song anymore, so a sequel would probably be Unofficial if it ever did exist :^)

sometimes I see specific fics on ao3 where I read the summary and realize that it doesn't matter what the ship is because op is just trying to recreate the changjin dynamic. you're going to make jisung a tortured artist in one fic? you're going to make hyunjin chan's muse? changbin chasing after felix?
TRYING TO RECREATE CHANGJIN WITHOUT ACTUALLY PUTTING THEM TOGETHER IS MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY.

Video game concept??
Wouldn’t it be cool if u were some relative of a very strong entity and you got to choose an op weapon at the beginning of the game? But the catch would be one weapon deals .5% max hp always and the other can be used in combos and is affected by buffs, which would you choose? The latter would be better for early game but as the boss’s hp starts ranking that’s where a percentage damage would be really helpful. Plus there would be fragments all over the map to increase the percentage dmg/ cool armor and buffs for the dagger. (Possibly Elden ring type style)
Would u play a game like this?

So many people's idea of a "good horror film" now more than ever is just a horror film that abhors and actively avoids all the tropes and themes and dirty bits of the genre. A "good horror film" cannot be cheesy it has to be about some intellectual stuff it has to be a whisper of a ghost that represents some concepts haunting you it cannot be too gory it cannot rely on jumpscares it can have violence if it's clean and aesthetically presented (no intestines in the toilet anymore please!) it can have killers but it can't have anything else morally reprehensible because that's too icky it can have monsters and ghosts as long as they are vague stand-ins for an imagined anxiety.
Idk I just feel like horror is getting defanged because as we sanitise more and more media horror loses its place in the process. And everyone wants to make and watch "high brow" horror that has something "meaningful" to say and what they don't realise is that all that cheesy horror with the guts and the gore and the actual literal ghosts had something to say too. It has always been symbolic it has always reflected the anxieties of a generation it has always been more than what's on the surface, but now we're taking away the cathartic representations that became a canvas upon which to unabashedly paint and process those anxieties. Cheesy horror had something to say already, we didn't need to do away with that to make it "meaningful". All these new age horror films and modern remakes of old horror films with high critic ratings just leave me feeling completely empty.
Everything is either under ten layers of irony mocking the genre five hundred times before they're allowed a Trope™ or it's sanitised and served up like the film version of those unfulfilling fancy restaurant meals and I'm tired of it. Everyone doesn't have to like horror okay it's fine it doesn't have to be for everyone just please give me back my guts and jumpscares and taking the genre seriously and allowing messy characters who are all godawful in their own ways and immoral hideously horrifying actions with revenge fantasies and blood that looks messy instead of artistic and ghosts that are ghosts and scare the shit out of people please just give that back to me
