Welp! While college is busy murdering my art drive, I guess I should post some backlog stuff.

This here’s a character I’ve been working on for a bit, for a Renaissance fantasy setting that I and some friends have been putting together. Her name’s Kimrin Lin!!

Some neat little tidbits:

- That left arm is a prosthetic! While it uses the setting’s magic to function, converting heat from its inner furnace into mechanical motion and magical impulses, it’s not perfect. Accurate, but not precise, and really only useful in swordfighting as a support more than anything. It’s not a battle injury—She was just born without an arm.

- She’s a Half-Drake, Half-Human (“Tallman”)! Specifically, her Drake father was descended from a group who originally adapted to life in volcanoes. Her scales are black because they were inspired by volcano snails—they’re actually living iron and mineral plating!

- The enormous sword (and her cloak) are from of one of her past jobs. As a Hunter of the Ruby Contingent of Kadara, Kimrin was tasked with duties somewhere between a park ranger, an ecologist, and a big game hunter in the modern day—managing local plant life, maintaining a good balance in the local ecosystem without letting it affect villages under her previous Mission’s watch, and handling the occasional “monster” (rather, megafauna) that got too close to a human settlement.

- The “Black Knight” moniker is from her current occupation! Having studied an additional few years under a Magician’s ministry in Kadara, she’s picked up some academic means of fulfilling her interests. Nowadays, Lin wanders from village to city, documenting the local cultures, ecosystems, foods, etc, in a kind of travelogue. The same sense of justice that drove her to leave the Ruby Contingent, however, also drives her to interfere in some local affairs—stopping executions, helping discriminated people find new homes, etcetera. This kind of nuisance-making has earnt her something of a reputation, and now, exaggerated news of her ‘wicked, disruptive’ deeds is traveling faster than she is.

- She has, in fact, been burnt at the stake before for practicing magic. For the most part, it’s not really that interesting, although the ash does get irritating pretty early into the process.

I've been at work for just about an hour and my first problem of the day is some Florida Man at Oga's Cantina complaining the mixed drinks didn't get him drunk like he expected??? At nine fucking thirty in the morning???

[ughgoaway]

posting any piece of writing on the internet is simultaneously the worst and best thing

right now I am in the worst phase and I'm seriously considering deleting my George fic lol- I just do not like it at all

[wen-kexing-apologist]

The point of Heart's character is that people don't understand him, and Li Ming is the only one that takes the time to learn. To not translate the signs is a very intentional move to have the audience understand the isolation of Heart's life without people who have learned the language. When you don't know sign language and need to know what he is saying, you know what he is saying. When his deafness and everyone else's relationship to it is getting in the way of him being able to communicate with others, and what he wants to say and has been saying falls on (haha, sarcastic laugh) deaf ears, you do not get a translation. That is the point. That's the whole point. If you are complaining about the fact they don't subtitle what Heart is saying when he signs, now you know the struggles of deaf people operating in a hearing world. How many videos do you come across a day that do not have captions or subtitles? How well can you read lips and comprehend what is being said when someone isn't speaking? If you are upset or complaining about the fact that Heart's sign language is not subtitled, if you feel like you are missing out on something important because Heart's sign language is not subtitled. Good, you are experiencing the very emotion that Heart is probably also feeling, not having people communicate with him in his language.

the comments on the lack of subtitles for sign language in the same episode of heart's argument with his mom about her not learning sign language to communicate with him is so outstanding to me. like hey. the deaf & hoh community do not owe you anything.

Who's a oc you want to spend more time on/do more with (draw, write, etc)?

Ahhhhh Is this cheating? This feels like cheating but ima say Rurue. Even tho i draw her ALL the timeee, i just dont draw her doing anything besides standing n sitting, looking cute  jkdjkfcsdcavnladjvn

Shes a standalone character, (everyone else has a story or world attached to them, so if you work on one person…you have to work on EVERYTHING uhhhh)

I guess Rurue is the mascot of my blog if that makes sense? (when i interact with others i use her sometimes).

I posted her reference sheet somewhere on here but basically, she's the newest oc and has nothing but a loose idea which is: slasher.

She just wants to find the perfect friend <3.

I wanted to make a lil video game story thing for her (never did that).

I wanted to animate her doing dances (never did that).

I wanted to make a series of digital illustrations, Rurue hanging out with other slashers (never did that).

Like jumpscare, she'd absolutely terrorize them and they'd have no idea wtf to do.

"Who is this lil girl and why is she talking to me? how'd she find me?...can i kill her?" *tries* "...hmmmm damn i guess not".

Technically i made her for a school project, but i also made her because everyone else had a slasher oc and i wanted on super bad.

But of course i cant just "make one" i need a "justified reason" bcuz thats how my brain works smhhhhh.

In addition to that i was also REALLY into slasher fanfics and i was to scared to write anything and post it (im a wet noodle)

So i thought "hey if i make a slasher oc and have her interact with these canon slasher guys then maybe that would give me a "reason" to post my characterizations and writing of [Insert canon slasher here]"

Which never worked oop

I also wanted to use her to practice anatomy and poses (never did that). Grrr uagh uegh oof

mini rant over lmaoo

I'm still deciding if she needs a “real” backstory. Of course I have a mini one with basic things but I think it's kinda funny if she's a lil girl who's everywhere and invincible. if i go that route then she would be my first fandom oc? maybe im still not sure.

sorry for typos :)

[riririnnnn]

Most of all, hello again! And before you ask, no, I'm not a telepath or a psychic. I mean, I was a psychic for a mini time to steal— I mean, make money fairly. :D

Back here again… I'm glad you've found some new hobbies and are doing other things! Of course, I'm also very sad when I see that you're stopping writing because maybe you feel like it's becoming more of an obligation than something cool that you're doing to share. I'm really feeling like a balance, I'm happy and sad because you really are one of the few creators of quotev that I like and you were also the one who gave me the starting point to start writing my Blue lock povs. <3

So what I'm really going to say here now as a young Brazilian who accidentally took a six bloody month psychology course is; Don't try too hard or force yourself to do something you no longer want to do. If that second one is the case then I just wait for a post like "It's over, I'm done writing, Bye and Lol."

And one more thing, I'm like air. You may not see me or smell me, but sometimes you hear me and feel me— :D

Ily, bye-bye darling.

—TJ. 🇧🇷

PS; Don't worry, I probably won't actually kill someone and I'm sorry about the accidental double ask.

Ah, well, I consider myself as a lawful good, but I don't mind the idea of, y'know, stealing money from the rich. Like, I don't condone the idea of stealing—that's a bad manner, but stealing from the rich? I understand that.

And you are scaring me now..

Like, be honest, do you have any special supernatural power? Do you have a camera in my room or something? 'cause how do you know that yes, writing indeed started to feel like an obligation to me—I lost the sparks—especially during those times when I, out of the blue, started to lose motivation to write.

You see, personally, I think the most important thing for a Fanfic writer is that you should have fun while writing! I mean, it's not a job, so you should enjoy it! And I've been living by this motto ever since I, myself, became a Fanfic writer.

But lately, I wasn't able to feel the same, y'know.

Whenever I do random things, I think of my books, the potential future plot and stuffs, and I always have this stupidly big smile on my face during the whole time—you might even think I'm mentally ill or something because I'm feeling that much of happiness!

However, you can say a couple of weeks to be completely honest, I wasn't able to feel the same joy, y'know, Instead of smiling and giggling like an idiot, I ended up frowning whenever I opened the books. My face used to be like: >:( It started to feel more like a chore of something, and I couldn't confess it truthfully until now because, well, haha, I thought it was very rude of me to say so.

I kinda don't have any idea why I started to feel this way, but I'm sure that the book Cliché had a pretty big hand behind this—I think I did vent about it to you some months ago (?).

I mean, it's very arrogant of me to say this, but I took (maybe take?) pride in the fact that I never suffer(ed) from writer's block and that my imagination power is very strong—ideas always keep flooding in my mind and story automatically formed on its own as I typed. However, I never realised that having so many ideas can also mean that they may not connect very well to eachother, y'know.

And that's exactly what happened while I was writing the book Cliché. I had abundance of ideas for the story to proceed, but they just didn't link up which frustrated me and, I guess, also damaged some of my ego.

I won't say I'm done with writing though :) I still like it a lot, and I'm, slowly, getting back into the track—it may take a while, I think.

Oops, I ranted a lot :p

Thank you so much! You are very, very sweet <3

Also, "You may not see me or smell me, but sometimes you hear me and feel me," hm? That's scary, hehe :p

And LMFAOOOO! Glad to know you won't actually kill someone, lol.

Take care <3333333333

Sending you lots of love!!

Raaaahhh mini rant sorry

I decided to defer my work term to next summer instead of this one cuz I might be getting this airway surgery on short notice any time this summer (hopefully this summer or I’m gonna be pissed and feel like shit and embarrassed about waiting ) and 3 weeks recovery time blah blah blah but why do I feel like I should have just done one cuz I know part of why I was so okay with not doing it this summer is because it’s really scary and I’m scared no one will hire me but also i know that it legitimately would fuck with an internship because the long recovery time would cut into my required hours and also getting a placement then on short like 1-2 weeks notice have to be like oops sorry you hired me I actually will need to be gone for 3 weeks sorry bye????

I just feel ill about it and know I’m gonna have to defend myself to my classmates and it’ll be so much worse if i don’t hear anything from the surgeon.

I had emailed my academic advisor about it before i stopped applying to things and he said it would be fine to do it next summer no questions asked and I believe him I’m just stressed now cuz the career services lady just emailed me asking for an update on my work term

[goldenpinof]

i dont know why but hearing about the iceland show being cancelled has made me so mad surely this is the last straw with these promoters, they've done this tour so dirty even from the very start with the change of the cambridge and oxford dates. It has literally just gotten worse since . I'm actually fuming but mostly i just feel so bad for dan cause this must be a nightmare (sorry for my mini rant).

cheers! we should have had a drinking game: a new bottle every time this tour goes to shit. oops, we're alcoholics by February 🖤

[rosyandraw]

Are you reading Dark Rise? I want to gush with someone so i would love your opinion if you are

Hey lovely!

I'm not reading Dark Rise no, sorry!

Tbh and it's probably an unpopular opinion? Idk but I don't rate Pacat as a writer.

I love Damen and Laurent but their story is kind of greater than the sum of it's parts?

CP as an actual series when I take a step back, the plot holes are crazy, the world building is non-existent, the politics are shaky and don't hold up under inspection, Pacat is inconsistent and does a lot of hand waving retroactively, they can only write ONE type of character convincingly (blonde-twinky-bitch and it's starting to feel a bit fetishy) and the writing is barebones. It reads like a first draft and I'm always annoyed about it whenever I read it.

Though that's probably why i'm still here LMAO it felt weirdly incomplete?

Sorry about the pacat rant LMAO didn't mean to do that but whoops.

ANYWAY is Dark Rise any better?

Sorry again omg haha💕💕💕

Have a little cry learning how to use git~

[goldenart0]

So I’ve noticed people comparing Atlas and everything that happened in Volumn Seven to Germany, specifically during WW2, but I would like to say that Atlas, and Ironwood, is actually a lot like the Roman Republic Empire.

First off, Ironwood did what quite a few Roman Generals did, take absolute power from the government. Caesar was the most famous to do this, probably because he got stabbed for it. The Roman Republic Empires government worked the following way: There was a Senate, which was a group of legislators, or law makers, chosen from the elite families. There were also the Co-Consuls which were two people chosen from the Senate to be kinda the head government people. There always two to balance and check each other (and also do one could be generally and fight and such while the other stayed in Rome). Someone could only be a Consul for one year at a time and one could only do it every ten years and the minimum. Now that’s at least some what close to what Remnant has, a council, multiple people for checks and balances, it’s Atlas so probably some level of elitism. But now that we’ve gone over that, let’s talk about how it gets broken. A lot. With Caesar specifically, he took both Consul seats for himself, stayed in power for much longer then he should have, and changed and made laws to give him for power. Oh yeah, and he became dictator in part because of an emergency. Sound familiar?

Ironwood also held not one, but two seats on the council, which feels like too much power to me and also similar to holding both Consul seats.

Actually this kind of thing was done a bunch in Rome, by a bunch of generals. Caesar just really pushed it into giving him full power all the time. The dictator position was held mostly by generals in the case of an emergency then it would go back to the Senate and Consuls. It was really only generals though, mostly because they had the power of an army to help them.

That’s kinda what Caesar did, he took him army, kinda invaded Rome and then took power. He had to use his army because the Senate and Consuls wanted to strip him of his power but Caesar decided he didn’t like that.

Which brings us to point two. Roman Generals tended to have an army following them that was loyal to them, not the idea of a republic. This helped in the taking over thing. Ironwood hasn’t shown this power yet, but would not be suprised if he did, not to mention the army and huntsmen under him are very loyal to him.

One thing that’s not really important, but Atlas might actually be a bit of an empire itself. I’m not quite sure where Argus fits in terms of who’s government it is, but if it’s more under Atlas control then I think one could consider Atlas an Empire. Just a thought for you.

Now all if that politic stuff and Ironwood one hundred percent pulling a Caesar is all fine and dandy, but the bigger thing is it’s fall.

The traditional reason you’ll hear for Rome’s fall is “Barbarians at the gates”. But there are also people who will say that it was more of Barbarians in the gates. That being, Rome got to a point where parts of its army were not made up of Roman citizens, but if people of the lands it conquered. People who were more loyal to their general then the republic/empire. And this idea that the armies weren’t loyal to the republic/empire but to a general combined with Roman generals habit of taking power did not lead to good things. You know, generals becoming dictators, civil wars, collapsed of empires that sort of thing. And while this is not strictly what happened with Atlas, the idea of the enemy being inside your gates not outside them is. Salem works by getting inside place and pulling them apart from the inside. This is very very clear with Atlas, and Ironwood himself (see:what happen when he realized Salem’s forces were here). She gets inside your walls, inside your mind and plays games with you. Atlas has a very powerful army, but it does no good if the enemy takes it for itself, as it did. It doesn’t matter how tall you build your walls if your enemy is already inside them.

Nickname: c Gender: female Astronomical sign: virgo Height: 5′7  Single or Taken: single Hogwarts House: after taking the test i’m apparently ravenclaw! Favorite animal: fox Number of blankets: one Dream Trip: I would love to go to universal studios, or london! When I created this blog: I believe a year ago? tbh I wish I made it sooner lmao. Why I created this blog: I always wish I knew about twdg games like years sooner because there's something so personal and timeless about not only the world-building of the walking dead universe, but seeing clementine’s journey just got me so immersed into not just her story, but lee’s. his arc was one of the best character developments I’ve ever seen in gaming. seeing a convicted criminal get a second chance at redeeming himself just made me so emotional. because even though he took a life, he got to save one in return, and got the chance to finally be a father to a little girl that he loved with his whole heart, and didn’t let anything like dying stop him from going through hell and high water to save her when, as crazy as it is, alot of people wouldn’t go through so much pain for a child that wasnt biologically theirs.  and the reason I made this blog was because clementine absolutely means so much to me like she does for a lot of people! I've seen some people critisice her resilience and peg her  “perfection suffering”  in a way to as if she can do no wrong when that is so far from the case. and i realize people only say that because they only understand one dimension of her arc and dont care enough to see the whole picture and are weirdly annoyed with how much people admire her as a role model/character. clementine has got through so much in the ten years she’s been surviving in the apocalypse and has done some questionably selfish deeds that makes her a morally grey character like most characters in the game. and her appeal to me is not only is she a bi woc ( like me ), but she’s a chacter that has so much expectations put on her,  when in reality she has absolutely not a clue what shes doing and doubts herself so much more than she lets on because shes trying not to let everyone down again like she feels shes done to her friends in the past.  she’s an emotionally strong person, but everyone has their breaking point and the fact she puts so much of it into aj is so interesting to me. aj is her second-heart beat and I think a lot f her strength comes from him and his support of her. I just admire her emotional strength and her ability to “keep moving forward” and I aspire so much to have the same capabilities as she does and be as badass as she can be dkfj. tagged by: @twdgdeadmanwalking!
