Love your art so much. Will you show us cool nature pics from your country? I'm literally so stoned I forgot where you live sorry.

Sure anon, why not. I'm not a photographer so the quality of these is kind of slushy at best. I like nature and wander around a little bit, but I rarely hike properly, so I don't go to that many scenic places. These are mostly from regular walks. Long post warning.

Summers are short but very green, and since we're at the arctic circle we get sunlight around the clock. Some of these were taken at midnight or early morning small hours. Most of Finland is very sparsely populated and covered in boreal forests.

Finland is a very watery country, lots of lakes in particular.

Sometimes you get intense sunsets

And winters are very cold, snowy and last about six months. In summer we have midnight sun and in winter there's the polar night to counter it. Around late December sun only rises for about two hours per day where I live so it's very dark for many, many weeks on end (which is wonderful if you get seasonal depression like I do). But sometimes the weather and lighting are just right and you get this ethereal pastel effect that I love.

I think Aether gives Dew one of his rings when he leaves on tour.

It's too big for him to wear, obviously, so Dew keeps it in his pocket. Uses it like a worry stone. But, just before it's time to start the first show, Dew realizes his uniform doesn't have pockets. It's embarassing, but he panics a little. Just a moment of overwhelm when the realization hits. Has to stop and catch his breath, swallow back the bile that rises in his throat.

Dew places that simple silver band on his vanity before he puts his helmet on, and just looking at it breaks his heart a little. The thought of leaving it behind hurts even more. Dew puts a hand on his chest, tries to center himself, and -

His necklace.

He feels it through his uniform, the press of the metal into his skin, and it feels like relief. Pulls down his balaclava so he can pull out the jewelry, and for the first time since Aether gifted it to him Dew unclasps the chain. Takes the necklace off just long enough to slide the ring on beside his pendant. He feels weirdly naked without it, hates having it off, and the second he secures it around his neck again he feels miles better.

Dew looks at the two pieces of metal next to each other and smiles. Happy that, in even this small way, Aether will still be out there with him.

after failing miserably the first go around, (crochet) Home's walls are complete! we're less than halfway there but hey! The Walls!

speaking of veilguard kind of going nowhere. i am so mad over there being no in depth epilogue. at least tell me what happens to the factions that are being led/guided by people rook influenced !!!!!! all these companions have obvious obligations outside of the veilguard, and they're all dedicated to the lives they lived before they joined this team, so of course they would go back. what effect did bellara deciding to keep the archive have on the elves? neve decides to protect dock town by any means necessary, so what does that mean for a blighted minrathous? everything to do with harding and the titans ????!!!! and solas just accepts being trapped because he's been 'outplayed' DO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH!!!! somebody has got to tell me what happens after the world gets 'saved' because the south in chaos, minrathous almost destroyed and the last of the elven gods being dead is like. crazy. and the companions just commenting things i already know is really not cutting it for me

Absolutely obsessed with your steddie dad’s verse!!! Everything about it is just so good, thanks for sharing!

I love Moe, Robbie and Hazel, and I can’t get this idea out of my head that probably doesn’t fit the vision of this verse at ALL but hear me out. What if one day all the upside down stuff became public knowledge? Somehow documents get leaked, someone talks, idk. And it’s suddenly all over the news. Would be so interesting to see how Steve and Eddie would react to this and how they’d talk to their kids (who just found out about their parents saving the world from the news) about it 👀

So here’s the thing:

Realistically, I don’t think the story would ever get fully leaked, for two reasons (probably more, actually, but two primary reasons).

It makes the U.S. government look terrible, and they do a good enough job of that publically to afford any more hits to their rep so they keep that shit on lock

Nobody would believe it. Maybe there are whispers about the truth of what happened to Hawkins, Indiana in the 80s, but the second the words “monsters” and “superpowers” get thrown in there, nobody buys it. That’s why the cover stories work.

What I absolutely think would happen is ✨conspiracy theories✨

Like, come 2014 there’s a rising interest in true crime and conspiracy theories and some enthusiasts stumble upon the story. A few devoted folks pull a Murray and start building a timeline and they quickly realize that there are some pretty serious holes in the narrative. It kind of takes off from there.

Robbie is Eddie’s daughter through and through, so she’s totally into that kind of stuff. Steve and Eddie have always been relatively upfront about what happened to them in Hawkins (relatively, in that they have the “here’s what you’ll find if you google your dads” conversation with an extensive Q+A, but to avoid dumping trauma on their kids they stay light on the details), so she’s more intrigued than surprised when not only is she suggested a YouTube video about her dads’ hometown, but the video also mentions both of them by name.

Here’s the problem – like most conspiracy theories, it's true that some pretty damning evidence has been uncovered that the government probably didn’t want circulating. However the story is still missing key details in a way that makes the resounding conclusion this close to the truth, but not quite there.

Hence, this conversation Robbie has with her dads after she watches the video:

“So is it true that Uncle Will was abducted by aliens?”

Steve’s eyebrows fly up.

“Are people saying it’s aliens? It wasn’t aliens.”

“Was he though?”

“Uh…kind of. I guess.”

“Is it true the government put a fake body in the lake and pretended it was him and then when Will came back they had to pretend it was another kid?”

“Yep.”

“That’s fucked up. Is it true that Russia used a mall in Hawkins to build a secret lab?” Robbie asks.

“Yes.”

“Is it true they were doing research on the aliens and then one of them escaped and that’s why the mall got destroyed.”

“Not even close.”

“How did the mall get destroyed then?”

“Bunch of people got possessed by a shadow monster and he made them eat chemicals until they exploded and reformed as this giant mass thing that cornered us in the mall. We attacked it with fireworks. I wasn’t there for most of that, though. Just the end.”

“Whatever,” Robbie rolls her eyes, fully convinced that her dad is bullshitting her, “Is it true the Hawkins earthquakes were actually the aliens invading.”

“No – yes…kind of? Not earthquakes. Not aliens.”

“I mean…technically they kind of were aliens ,” Eddie jumps in, “Technically anything from a land foreign to yours is an alien.”

“They weren’t aliens,” Steve insists, “They were monsters. They were big and gray and their faces opened up and they had all these rows of teeth like sharks.”

“Sounds like an alien to me,” Robbie replies.

“Monsters.”

“Is it true Dad was attacked by them and he almost died and you saved him, Pop?”

“Yes, indeed,” Eddie says proudly before Steve can respond, “He’s quite the hero, don’t you think?”

“In space?”

“Nope. In an evil alternate dimension, and he dragged me all the way out through the portal and everything.”

Robbie rolls her eyes again, “Nevermind, you guys are useless. You’d think you weren’t even there.”

Steve sighs, “God, I wish that were true.”

In terms of how Steve and Eddie respond to the story gaining some attention from the general public, they do family viewings of the conspiracy videos made about the situation and make fun of the incorrect narratives. Their daughters fully do not grasp that their dads are telling the truth because, again, the truth does not seem real.

[fictional-men-enthusiast]

I didn’t know what to call it before but I finally figured it out—

Bogleech has created the Schrödinger’s Haunted Narrative.

A character that is dead (sort of?) who keeps getting alluded to (but only in a peripheral way/a concept) who MIGHT COME BACK POSSIBLY (but due to the nature of their death it could also equally be the audience reading way too much into things + seeing signs that aren’t there, but because they exist as a concept of a person, and the narrative has repeatedly reinforced that believing in a concept is a large part of what keeps in alive + able to be perceived, even by things that don’t TECHNICALLY EXIST ON ITS PERCEPTION LAYER. Thus because of this universe’s canon, they very well might be persisting because of the sheer amount of people that still talk about + draw + write about them).

And I love it and think about it an unhealthy amount.

okaayyyy soooo …. I may or may not be making fanart of your Forest God AU.👁👁 ( and possibly a spin off sorta AU story?? self indulgent ramble thing) and I was wondering if you have any examples of the boys antlers / horns ? My guess is that Sans has basically deer antlers but bigger and branch-like, skull has moose antlers but they’re misshapen and twist up in an odd way ( like that story that said they extend up like hands reaching out ), and red has caribou antlers. like a mix of deer and moose because I feel like he’d have the pointy parts of deer for fighting ( and general edgy aesthetic) but the shape and width of moose. I’m bad at explaining so i’ll just add an image. ignore the face shapes tho because I haven’t figured out how I want to really draw that yet and didn’t have examples ;-; it was all rushed hhh

That's absolutely perfect! You've nailed it. But just for the sake of it, here's the reference images I used when writing about the forest god boys' horn structure.

Sans - elk/stag

Red - Caribou/reindeer

Skull - moose/irish elk

Hope this helps!
