THE LONGEST PROMISE

[ren-doesthings]

the the the the the th

design and fic (racoons like bones) by @starbellbunny accidentally miscred the design BUT STILL LVOE UR WORK MAX WOO

[originalluv]

It been a long time since I've made gifs and noticed that there wasn't an abundance of A'Yuan, though it the best place to restart. The quality isn't the best but I love this scene so much.

[pyjamacryptid]

man… I’m trying to edit this merlin and morgana vid and I’m making myself sad. It’s not a ship vid - it’s how Merlin and Morgana both received prophecies (about Mordred and Gwen respectively) and enacted treatment based on something that had yet to happen. One felt he had no choice (though he did) and the other simply did not want to let that future come to pass (“and I’m sorry Gwen but I can never let that happen.”). And then how they did the same to each other too. And my brain feels sososo full of thoughts about it and now my heart feels pained sksjwk. Also my editing program’s timeline is a MESS lol

[obsessedwithao3]

Headcannon timeeeeeeeee:life series and their friends edition

I headcannon that Ren has DID Wich caused some really awkward conversations with Martyn&Doc and Etho since neither him nor them knew Ren had DID until like middle of last life

I also think that "the canary curse" is evolving.Well,more specifically I think that it is mostly o ther ppl inflicted by it instead of Jimmy since in almost all of the series his allay/s didn't do very well after his death.Scott placed under the top 5(third life)Mumbo died almost immediately after Jimmy(last life)Tango generally had the worst luck(double life)Joel died very close to Jimmy(limited life)Martyn died like 10 mins after Jimmy(secret life)and in( real life)when Jimmy's group went to the cave he was the only one who didn't die at least once

I headcannon that Ren and Lizzie are still friends after Ll! So when Ren saw her in empires one of his alters(look at headcannon one)started screaming at him

Now this is the ✨ship section✨(strap in everyone bc I am a multishipper)

So the ship tree goes like this(nothing is poly unless specified)

Jimmy→Scott(married)→Martyn(dating)(Martyn is also Jimmy's ex)→Ren(situationship)→Doc and Etho(poly dating)

Doc→bdubs(dating)→Etho(dating)→Joel(soulmates)→ Lizzie(married)→Cleo↑(exs with Etho)(dating lizzie)→Joe(queerplatoni)→Cub(dating)→Scar&Grian(poly dating)Grian→Mumbo(unlabled relationship)→iskall(unlabled)→Stress(queerplatonic)→Gem(dating)

Etho→Bdubs(datin)→impulse(soulmates)→Zed and Tango(poly) Tango→Jimmy(soulmates)(see first branch)

Wels→Ijevin(married cuase why not)

Katherine→Shubble(dating)

Joey→Xonorth(married)

Xisuma→Keralis(married)

Fwhip→Suasage(dating)

Paltonic timeee:

Joey&Scott(inlaws)

Scott&Lizze(inlaws)

Suasage&Gem(suasage is dating her twin Fwhip)

Family:

Lizzie&Jimmy(seablings)

Gem&Fwhip(twins)

Xisuma&Grian(X adopted G at one point)

Pearl&Grian(siblings)

Links:

Martyn neither confirming or denying an ask that claims his character is in love with Ren (for the record, do not send ship stuff directly to CCs and keep it in the tags).

The ask: “people freaking out over you reblogging the kissing kestrels post as if you haven’t reblogged posts that say your character is in love with rendog”

Ren re playing DnD with Martyn: “there hasn’t need to be any more flirting done”

Ren saying the series he made with Martyn was “quite special for him” and he “never really felt the same after that one”

Day 1 (Axe/Shield): Martyn posts his 3rd Life movie, his community post has the axe emoji

Day 3: Martyn reblogs the altar monologue with the tags “that improv though” 3 mins after OP posted

Day 3: Ren uploads an HC ep showing his name on a sign bordered with skulls (reminding people of the Red Winter Axe)

Day 4: Ren announces his Hermitcraft King Rendog plushie (not Red King)

Day 4: Martyn watches Pale White Horse AU by cocoabats and watches Pale White Horse / Where Is Your Rider by genesis frog

Most of these are coincidences but uh hello Renchanting fans. How are we. In the middle of TBW too damn 😭🪓👑

[ohbaby-here-we-go-again]

Discovered a big part of why I like sleep token comes down to ‘echos,’ repetition, and layering.

Hear me out guys !

Ok so I’m probably going to be bad at articulating this, but I feel like a big part of sleep token’s sound comes down to them playing with the concept of echos and the use of repetition in music.

Some of it is pretty bog standard, like as a general rule you’re going to have things that repeat in songs (chord progressions, choruses, melody etc) because that is their nature. But there are other things where I feel the repetition is a deliberate choice or deliberately emphasised (I’m going to dot point, because my brain is so full and idk how else to structure this)

- when you listen to a lot of the piano vessel composes, it typically contains a lot of repeating phrases, usually 2-4 notes that he either repeats exactly or progressively shifts up or down in pitch

- similarly (and probably even more so) the digital sounds, included to help build the layering within songs, are very repetitive in nature. They even sometimes have an echo-y distortion to them

- on that note, the layering is such an important part of sleep token’s sound. They build up phrases steadily, and while theses aren’t technically canons, to me they have a similar feeling when you hear everything together

- also because of the repetition of shorter melody phrases, and the complementary repeating sounds cushioning them, I feel like you really get that atmospheric vibration/hover that you sense when you hear real echos irl which is neat (this is also aided by that atmospheric droning sound they tend to make use of)

- what’s also cool is ii has literally said when writing the drum components, he listens to what else is going on in the song (digital parts, guitar, piano, vocals) and mimics certain rhythms present so everything fits together cohesively

- vessel has like a set of themes and words he uses throughout his songs (post I did on that here tho I do want to do an updated one at some point) so when you’re listening to ST you do get a lot of déjà vu (not in a bad way) from lyrics

- this echoing in lyrics was taken even further in the last album with Euclid

- another neat thing is that while ST obviously uses a lot of repetition they cut things up into segment, either by stripping back the layered sound, changing the pacing, implementing a new melody segment, seemingly switching up genres etc. but it’s all interspersed in such a way that key element resurface again later

- they’re also really good at knowing when to do this too, like just when the repetition of a segment might start to lose listener’s interest they change it to something different but still at least a little adjacent

-edit: also the layering of vessel’s vocals and the incorporation of the espera for live performances. And vessel repeating certain key phrases in songs

idk I’m kinda rambling at this point but yea, the way the music sounds to me feels a lot like rocking back and forth ya know, or like listening to an echo or waves, it’s soothing in alot of ways - even the heavier/more intense songs (also I noticed you can sometimes see vessel rocking while he preforms when he doesnt have the zoomies)

And before anyone goes “ren that’s just song structure,” “ren most songs have a beat you can move too” I know ! and i know I’m articulating this badly. But I’ve been listening to ST’s whole discography on repeat minimum 8 hours a day for at least two week (this is not an exaggeration) and I don’t know how to make you understand, other then to make you listen to them for 8 hours min a day for two week while I gesture wildly and shout “rocking back and forth ! echoes ! Push and pull of waves !”….

[coffindoves]

// money ranting..

the thing is like. it's so hard to justify to myself why i should get some plushie or game as a treat in my current situation. because if i want to move out um, as steadily as i can so that i can live with Ren, i NEED to save at least $5k i think. & that would be really, just to cover 3mo of rent. MAYBE PARTIALLY A DOWN PAYMENT if we get lucky. but like... atm. i am only getting $150 a week babysitting; & this is obligatory & the money itself is just more of consolatory pay so i don't really.. have the time to get a "real" job. OR HONESTLY.. draw. that much. (right now is my only prime time) ((sacrificing a lot of sleep & sanity so..,, DONT EVEN, HAVE GOOD MOTIVATION TO DRAW)) . & even that in itself.. i am getting SEVERELY underpaid, for what i am doing. working at a rate that is less than min. wage & even at that point, not even getting paid for each hour past a certain point. because my family wants me to be """Fair""" to my sister. because ohh She needs to by all these things for her kid... *proceeds to verbally abuse me before i have to watch him & then wastes $750 in one week buying things for herself that she literally has no use for & overdrafts for the stuff that's actually for her kid.* (THIS WAS HER EXCUSE FOR NOT PAYING ME AT ALL LAST WEEK. IM STILL EXTREMELY ANGRY ABOUT THIS.)

there's also like, so much, that i was yearning to get & actively saving up for, before i realized that getting out of my living situation is actually possible & something i should be imperatively working for... i've wanted a macbook for Forever, especially while my goal was to do Video Editing in school, but they're all like $1200 minimum. *GRITTING MY TEETH.* my ipad is also like. so freaking old now that Procreate is starting to run like shit w/ every update it gets..... if i want to keep using that for art when i can't sit up to use my off-screen tablet, i am going to have to upgrade that, at some point. WHICH i guess is significantly cheaper since i could trade it in for a newer model but........ STILL SO EXPENSIVE AT LIKE $300 FOR JUST THE REGULAR IPAD + THE PEN THAT WORKS WITH IT. ggod. i hate money.

"Could it be that this memory also brings you happiness?"

THE LONGEST PROMISE

[owltypical]

honestly it's very entertaining to think of an au where it's literally just the bg3 party as regular people playing a dnd campaign in a living room somewhere

tav is of course the dm, boyfriend #1 halsin is a little overwhelmed by all the intricacies of ttrpg playing but is very enthusiastic, boyfriend #2 astarion just scoffs at all this nerd shit and sprawls on the couch scrolling on his phone and occasionally interrupting with snide commentary (but eventually he gets curious and into the story that's going on and is begrudgingly convinced into making a character)

wyll is a massive ren faire nerd who's super into it all, he has a custom miniature and assorted accessories and always lets out a WELL MET when entering the place, gale is that obnoxious min-maxer who knows every little detail and how to get away with some wild shit

lae'zel is Sports Mean Girl, shadowheart is Goth Mean Girl, minthara is Corporate Mean Girl, they all barely tolerate each other but they're all somehow friends of tav and have been convinced to try dnd so they try to make nice and only attempt murder via roleplay (lae'zel eventually gets as deep into it as wyll)

karlach is gym/roller derby/mosh pit friend who has very little idea what's going on but is as enthusiastic and Trying as halsin, jaheira and minsc are the old aunt/uncle friends tav met at some public game session in the local game and comic shop basement who've been playing since 2nd edition, boo's always rolling around in a hamster ball somewhere in the apartment during games and occasionally gets comandeered for use as a boss marker on the table

[ratjay]

writing out a list of things important to one of my early D&D characters (I think they're number 4 off my count) bc I want to try and redesign a super old character of mine & unlike the first three (Tea, Olin, Sequoyah) I haven't really touched their design since the original. Ended up opening up their character sheet (last edited for a session almost 6 years ago. Literally June 13th, 2018)

In doing so:

I discovered that said character (Ren), who I labeled as one of my non queer characters the other day is, in fact, listed as having no gender & using they/them. And I forgot. In Pride month no less

I thought they were one of the many. MANY elf races in 3.5. They had pointy ears after all! Wrong. They are a River Spirit Folk. I have No Idea Why I picked this race. My table were min/maxers and for some reason a character I KNOW I looked at build guides for has a race NONE of the guides mention (I just went and looked). Where did this come from.

This fucker not only has a 30ft swim speed and can breath underwater, they can ALSO talk to fish. What is this race.

Pretty sure this was the origin of not-Cleric/Paladin characters openly wearing holy symbols that I still do as he has an Evening Glory Tattoo on his hand.

I think this was my first Widower character. a hilarious fact considering my most recent widower character was called Rem.

Also I think it is hilarious that there is a 6 year old, unidentified potion in their inventory. I swapped this character out for another part way through the campaign. There is a non-zero chance I accidentally stole some really good potion from the party and am only realizing it now.
