Lol so the owner of the company that I currently work for called me out I think today
Like he said that there are some people on the call that haven't made one sale yet in the 4 months that they have been with the company
And that's fine that he said that but then he went on to say that those people automatically failed and will NOT succeed in this company
And like sure, I guess I messed up for the past 5 months not selling anything and just hiding away in my room
But I am destined for success.
#burnout has been kicking my ass#most days I don't even feel like moving#or being on earth in general#and I think there something that needs to be said about this#not everyone can work 24/7 just to keep up#i wish i could ignore everything about it in me#but i can't#i also wish that i had of just waited a bit before trying to#find a job#but you know how people are#work work work#for me#but when it comes to my#sanity#my wellbeing#its like fuck all that for her#oh well#meh

The WALL-E au no one asked for
#i can't even watch an animated film without finding a way to shove those stupid homo pilots in it#anyways i was thinking for this au it follows the same premise/story as wall-e where the human race has left earth due to uninhabitable#conditions but instead of robots it's select groups of people chosen to stay behind to “clean up”#by clean up i mean they're actually being left for dead because the ones being left have rendered lawless by upper command#or troublesome/rebellious etc etc#but the groups they're able to live for a few generations with the resources and stuff they have. hence mav#mav is out scouting or doing whatever solo when the ship lands and out comes one (1) iceman kazansky#looking for some sort of proof of life (those among the space vessel assuming everyone/everything has perished by this point)#shenanigans ensue#they fall in love and bring the ship back to earth yadda yadda#idk it's too late to form coherent sentences#hope you enjoy my silly word vomit#top gun#top gun au#tom iceman kazansky#pete maverick mitchell#icemav#wall-e! au#top gun art#top gun fanart#frozen's art tag#tw blood#< just in case

The fearsome gape of a tyger
Most 'cats' in this setting are not cats at all, but actually hyaenodontoid carnivores that convergently evolved into a similar niche as large ambush predators. Earth type felids DO exist, but are largely extinct, having been almost entirely outcompeted and replaced by these guys in the evolutionary aftermath of a continental merger. I do this to be a jackass.
Tygers are among the biggest and most dangerous to primates, including large primates with swords and spears such as elowey and humans.
#Most of the new species aren't just straight up 'earth animals but Slightly different' but I do have quite a bit of that.#Lions are the only major earth big cat species that is still entirely intact but they have a diminished range (being found only in the#far east-northeast of the continent)#People in-universe generally draw no distinction between felid and hyaenodontoid 'cats' though they do have some major anatomical#differences. The biggest hyaenodontoid 'cats' are scavengers and have smaller thicker jaws specialized into bone crushing#Most of the midsized 'cats' have pretty much the exact same lifetyle as felids though they rely more on tearing at prey's flesh#to make kills than piercing/strangulation#blightseed#creatures

The idea that only Ulmo or Nienna care about Middle-earth and do anything to help Eruhini is a strange misconception because Tolkien pretty clearly shows that at least Manwë is watching very closely what's going on and sometimes even interferes? It's just that the Valar mostly seem to work through the elements they represent, which if you think about it is pretty neat.
Like there are various instances where the wind acts up suddenly, causing storms or rising in just the right moment (as in ROTK, clearing the air for the Rohirrim and speeding Aragorn's journey as he sails for Minas Tirith)
And even more obviously, the Eagles. Tolkien specifically says that the Eagles are Manwë's advocates in Middle-earth, providing miraculous aid when all else fails. Without the Eagles, Beren and Lúthien's quest would have failed and Huor would not have got to Gondolin (which then would have prevented Eärendil's success or even meant he was never born). They give crucial aid to Gandalf more than once. The Eagles also help Fingon to save Maedhros, because Manwë "would not wholly abandon the Noldor". Tolkien recognises that the Eagles are "deus ex machina", and in this case, the meaning is quite literal.
Then there are the Istari, envoys of the Valar: while there is proof of only Gandalf's success, even just the efforts of one of the Wizards was enough to bring down Sauron.
As for Ulmo, you could argue that he is responsible for the whole Eärendil and Elwing arc - and that it was a job between him and Manwë. It's Manwë's Eagles that bring Huor to Gondolin, and Ulmo later sends Huor's son Tuor into the hidden city. Tuor and Eärendil both get sea-longing in their hearts. During the flight of the survivors of Gondolin, Eagles are again present and bring up the body of Glorfindel, making you wonder whether they would have interfered more in the Balrog fight if Glorfindel had not stepped up to protect the refugees - and Eärendil, the fated saviour of Middle-earth. Also, Ulmo rescues Elwing when she casts herself into the sea, turning her into a bird so that she can fly to find Eärendil. Water and air and birds keep showing up in the stories of Eärendil and Elwing and if that's not proof of Manwë and Ulmo's plotting, I don't know what is. I mean, it's even said in the first pages of the Silmarillion that they are fast friends and closely allied from the beginning! Eärendil becoming a star also in a weird way even combines the elements of Ulmo, Manwë, and Varda: bearing the Silmaril, Eärendil sails an immortal ship in the sea of heaven and stars, forever as a sign of hope to the Children of Ilúvatar.
What about the other Valar? If we keep in mind that they chiefly work through the elements they represent, their abilities to interfere are limited (and this is a self-imposed limitation clearly). Yavanna's creation of the Ents proves to be a pretty great one in The Two Towers, although you can argue to what degree she is influencing the events. More obviously In Shelob's lair, Sam calls for Varda, and the light of the phial of Galadriel comes alive in his hand and smites the great spider, helping Sam to defeat the monster. Also, during Sam and Frodo's desperate march through the hellscape that is Mordor, Sam yearns for a little bit of light and water to hearten him - and lo and behold, he gets these exact things as if Varda and Ulmo personally delivered.
In other words, the Valar are a lot more active in Middle-earth than they get credit for, and they work in subtle and indirect ways because only then can they make sure they don't accidentally kill a lot of the Children.
#Manwë#Varda#Ulmo#The Silmarillion#Lord of the Rings#I'm not saying the Valar never did anything wrong#that is absolutely not my argument here#I just think they are not as passive or wrapped up in the bliss of Valinor as some fans seem to think#also insert here incoherent thoughts about Tolkien's legendarium being about the stewardship of the Earth#and the responsibility we have to take care of it#how it's the responsibility of each generation#and how it's a mistake to be waiting for divine interventions and be unwilling to do what must be done to protect the Earth

Obsessed again. I couldn't actually play this week because my PC died (badly), but I did watch a friend play through the whole thing. So I'll be stealing screenshots.
But I'm obsessed with the Skolas cutscene and all the implications in it (and the song).
So the thing is that apparently the Echo is ... somewhat sentient. Obviously we knew some of that from last episode as well, because Echoes are made of people destroyed/attacked by the Witness so there's actual people in there. The previous Echo was made from the Qugu species and is specifically inhabited by the commander Te'Qal from the Dynasty lore book (highly recommended read, excellent proper scifi stuff in here).
We haven't learned about Revenant's Echo so far. Originally I thought that we'll get another lore book similar to Dynasty that explains what this Echo is made of, but we didn't. Instead, due to this cutscene... I think it was made from Eliksni. In some way. The Witness didn't destroy their entire species, but the Black Fleet did leave a huge and important mark and many Eliksni died on Riis and after. Their memories could be in the Echo. Transcript of the relevant bits (from Eso's video):
The song... hmm. A Whirlwind dirge. A seeking song for the lost. But... hmm. Variks does not recognise the singer. The Echo... It is the Echo that sings to us, Guardian. Sings of Riis, through our memories. It seeks an old strength. Strength to guide the scattered through a time of doubt and wrath... But it sees now how Fikrul wields its power... false life for an army of the slain, with those like Skolas for his pawns. The Echo seeks another wielder. It demands one who is worthy.
So there was a song that we followed in the mission and it led us to Fikrul (who holds the Echo) and Skolas. When we finished the fight, the cutscene played which explains why the song was there in the first place. It's a Whirlwind song, but it's being sang by the Echo itself, as if using memories of the Eliksni. So it would make sense that the Echo is made from them. To add to it, the seasonal lore book, The Garden-Way, final page mentions Chelchis singing a song:
This didn't seem too important before, but now after the cutscene I'm wondering!
It's also incredibly interesting that the Echo is apparently not interested in Fikrul anymore, implying a sort of sentience we haven't seen before. The last Echo was completely fine with Maya, which implies that this is due to the fact that Maya and Te'Qal are alligned. And that is true! Maya spoke highly of him and called him an ally, then also said that he lacked things that she has, so the two of them are empowering the Echo and work well together. The Echo was fine being in Maya's hands and still is.
But Fikrul and this one? Apparently don't get along. The Echo wants someone else, someone better and more worthy, and it is looking for that person while singing an old Eliksni song. I'm super interested to see who it will pick, if anyone. I think one of the strongest candidates is Eramis; a person who longs for Riis and protecting her people, but who never had proper powers to do so. She is a strong and capable leader and would use the Echo better than she did Darkness, because the Echo is essentially her kin (if it's correct that it's made from the Eliksni in some form).
There's other options as well, of course. There's even an option that we lose track of this Echo too, but it would be really interesting to see us gain one of them. Though in this case, if it is Eramis, she would probably take it with her to Riis, which is where she was headed before this whole thing went down.
Wild stuff going on, in between everything else. Needless to say, I'm hopelessly dependent on the lore about the Echoes which are glimpses into the lives and memories of ancient peoples. Fascinated to learn more about this one and where it ends up, and what waits for us next episode.
#destiny 2#destiny 2 spoilers#revenant#revenant spoilers#echo#eliksni#long post#please please please my life for one of the destiny music yts to upload the song from the cutscene#what an incredibly good cutscene in general#the images of pyramids on what i'd assume is riis... riis being indexed like earth at the start of tfs...#also yeah skolas. that dude is back! i think we should ask him about his time with the nine#also fikrul and skolas like... okay. new yaoi dropped

Yahoo! Scarabia into the spider-verse concept! That was way too difficult to design, idk why I got stuck on it for so long. I wanna make a comic cover piece with these two soon. I'm in my atsv era.
And UHH apparently Earth 912 is already officially taken by marvel comics but. Let's pretend Earth (0) 912 is different, idk 💀 I just took Kalim and Jamil's birth dates for their universe numbers lol
Anyone who might want to use these designs to make your own art, feel free to do so, no need to ask for permission! as long as there's credit somewhere kwndiwbfjebfj (I consider this the same I'm doing with the MH AU, I don't really own this universe idea or anything, just the designs and hcs I make up for it according to what I personally imagine of these AUs to be 👍👍)
#twst#my art#twisted wonderland#twst fanart#across the spiderverse#atsv#jamil viper#kalim al asim#scarabia#I hc in most universes Jamil always ends up being Venom instead of spiderman and Earth 0912 is a rare exception to that#Jamil generally 98% more likely to become Venom than any other spider person fr#i say venom even though in this concept he looks a lot more like carnage instead but whatever#sometimes i put ref photos that i barely make use of by the final version and i forgor to erase from my design notes so#that photo of the model next to Kalim was a main inspiration for a scraped design of his- not the final one. so just ignore that 😭#.twst into the spider verse

So after a year of saying I thought Earthspark was one of the best transformers cartoons they'd ever made... nothing about what I've heard for season 2 makes me want to see it.
#What on gods earth happened#Starscream losing all this development#and back to being a generic maniacal villain#who kills kids??!#after the exploration of his trauma and him getting a hug from a kid previously#Nightshade being relegated to the background#And someone noticed they haven't used Nightshade's pronouns once#just referred to them by name#The Decepticons being evil just cos rather than being treated with sympathy#what the fuck is going on#I don't want to see any of this at all#Transformers#Earthspark#Starscream

sonic as a distorted mirror of maria. someone who has so much love for the world they live in (that twists and turns bitter as they're taken away from it). someone who will do what they deem right regardless of what others think (whether what they're doing is the right thing in the end). someone who protects those they love at any price (be the cost their own life, the life of someone else, the Order of things). bravery (to the point of foolishness), care (to the point of destruction), naivety (that gains notes of cynicism as they mature), sincerity (that turns into lies meant to spare those around them from a truth that hurts).
now enter shadow, who grew up observing the slow distortion of someone dressed in blue. who notices familiar patterns in this friend he's made.
#soda offers you a can#lore drabbles#i feel like im uninterested in sonic-maria parallels generally#but that might be because it starts and ends with “they're blue”#with maybe a nod to how they both love(d) the earth#but it could be interesting if taken further. if maria's state at the end of her life reflects something that could happen to sonic#a possible outcome should certain conditions be met if you will#and the only person who could ever observe such warning signs being shadow. because he's seen it happen before#(at least early warning signs. others would obviously notice eventually)#(but would it be too late by then?)

... Made myself legitimately, physically sad thinking about Kory's place on Earth post NTT /in modern comics generally.
#i have so much catch up to do#but from what i understand/ have seen?#she's either still on whatever incarnation of Titans but like. babysitting. or in TT's Titans generally being ignored#or in RHATO where you could argue she finally snapped but honestly its not even the same character#and it's just ... so sad?#i genuinely hope there's stuff I'm missing and will find out later#because she has no family on Earth except the Titans and it feels like they all either died or moved on#and maybe she's working with the next gen#but who gives a damn about her as Kory?#it makes the writing between her and Roy in RHATO that much worse#because yeah he SHOULD have been fucking worried when she showed up claiming amnesia#and lets be real its not like she's getting respect on earth- dc wont let her#Koriand'r#there's at least a decent friendship with Vic in JL Odyssey from what i remember#but like#... i hope she gets better than i think she does

Got a freeform connverse ko-fi request, baby!
I mean, the request was them doing something cute as a couple, but almost same thing.
Thank you for the tip and request, Alphasun! 😁
#connverse#Steven Quartz Universe#Connie Maheswaran#thylacine#Imagine not being remembered by the world as the boy who saved Earth but the one who accidentally found a thylacine because he thought it#was a dog#my shiz#su#comic#my comic#I wanted the lack of dialogue and be more implied what they were doing as a couple.#Tho if I didn't actually make it clear enough:#They're celebrating something together. Most likely an anniversary. And they surprised each other fur babies.#I don't know if I'm going to headcanon but sometimes I think Connie is a little more of a dog person?#Like. She likes animals in general.#But I wonder if dogcopter would influence her or she liked dogcopter because dog.#Anyway. Steven being practically all about cats she didn't expect a dog from him.#PS though. If you're going to adopt a pet with someone#you should talk about it to them first before bringing the animal in.#doodles for tips
