femmebutch platonic relationships are just as meaningful as romantic ones!! my butch friend just told me they went out on a date and i metaphorically got the cocktails and drinks ready like tell me all about this date!!!! got two butch friends who i view like the older sibling figures i never got to have as an only child and i feel so looked out for, who remind me that i’m deserving of the love i give to others and that i should never settle for less 🫶

hello. I don't have any much of ask this time, mainly wanting to know which spark song you've been hyper in it(if you comfortable to say of course) and rant

I haven't listened to any songs lately since depression has tighten it grips on me causing me get overwhelmed/over-sensitive to voices but there is this verse keep repeating in my head from change by sparks for unknown reasons (consider I'm not good at memorizing lyrics so I only know this part of song)

Change; every dog is gonna have his day // Change; every loser's gonna have his way// Change; I don't care what other people say

i think you had said one or two things about this song to me before but I never opened the discussion cause I feel we will talk ENDLESSLY about it. each sentence in this song carries lot meanings, the full song has it deep heavy meaning while it looks clear as well -very spark type of thing- (like ocean I suppose? at least to me. with clear surface but deepness) and the feelings that arise when I focus on each lines, it goes into my heart before sinks in my soul (I also want to cry with - could be because I'm depressed)

I think is one of those songs I love from sparks that get me go numb on the kitchen floor like the angst on my pants if I let it posses me.

the previous answer still has me! still thinking about and trying to gather my thoughts over it, your overlook on full album by pointing the main concept of each song had me to listen to full album with closer look this time (+ the additional reblog from that account made some good points too (thank you! if you reading this :))

Hello again! ^^ So nice to see you in my ask box once more :)

I'm sorry to hear depression is being really tough on you at the moment, I hope things will be a bit better again soon ⁠♡ Change is a good song to hold your hand through dark days, the part of the lyrics you've highlighted in your message say it all. I really like what you said about the song and so I'll just give you a knowing smile because I think we understand each other perfectly well :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the previous answer and that you're still thinking about it, I love them so much for having made an album like that in these times :) (Hey @parts-of-me-unravelling thanks again for your addition about crying in one's latte ☺️)

I'm always comfortable talking about any song that I've been fixated on but I've honestly not listened to a lot of music recently (I've also been down in the dumps a bit and crave silence a lot). Sparks is always there though in other ways even when I'm not listening to music: I recently got a poster that I feared I'd missed out on. It made me so happy! It's good memories and a truly great photo. I also bring Sparks up in random conversations a lot, yesterday a friend was talking to me about pandemic isolation times and how people would only dress up the upper half of their bodies for zoom calls. ...so I was thinking of when Sparks made a video in which Russell stood up to show off his polka dot shorts, to which Ron said he wasn't going to stand up because he wasn't wearing shorts and it was supposed to be a pg rated video 😂 (I appreciate these guys so much.) It's in one of their 2020 videos on Instagram, all of which are very worth watching btw. (During self-isolation Russell treated us to singing lessons and workout sessions, Ron showed off his hand sanitizer collection and "The Ronald D. Mael Museum of stones and shells" (if I remember the name correctly), we got A Day In The Life Of Russell, Russell showing off his fridge magnet collection, and weekly lyric reads from Ron, as well as a couple of live recordings of songs from home. Honestly they were sweet as hell for doing all of that, I treasure all of these videos immensely. ... They might be good to watch actually if you need a mood boost :))

But here's something I've been hoping to tell you as there's something exciting coming up for the Sparks fandom: Sparkstember. It's a full month of celebrating Sparks and all their different albums and projects, and it takes place in September. The prompts list hasn't been posted yet but I'm going to assume it's not too dissimilar from last year. People can engage with the prompt/album of the day in any way they like so it's not only about art, though a lot of people make art for every single day of the month, and it's just really fun :) (Also a bit insanity inducing haha, I've now made art for every single day of it for the last 2 years while also trying to keep up with everything my friends have made. I very much intend to do it again this year.) People partake on any social media platform they like, though I personally especially enjoy it on Instagram. Sparks see and share a lot of the stuff that we put out there, so it's a really nice way of letting them know what they mean to us :) There's always too much about them that I can't put into words, also there's just too much to say, so having a whole month and going album by album is really good for that. (I mean, you've seen how I can write a whole essay about just one song. And they've got so many songs, albums, tours, photos, interviews, music videos, etc etc.) So I've been preparing for that these last weeks, and I'll keep the details about it to myself because my answer is getting so long already 😅 (Plus, I'll be going on about every album for the whole of next month anyway.) What I will share though is this tumblr post I made about these lyrics from the song Let's Make Love. You may have already seen that post float by, but it says everything about my motivation for Sparkstember and how much I love Sparks. (Gratuitous tag rant included on the post 🙃)

...sorry to go all "I love Sparks" on you today, without really talking about a song (I truly could write a whole book about them and their work though, plus there isn't really a separation between them as people and their art, it all exists as one massive universe but it's also all one and the same thing). Though the Sparks fan experience is basically Sparks fans constantly telling each other how much they love Sparks anyway so, well, there you go. The Sparks fan experience 👍🏻

The world could use more joy at the moment, or at least I know I could use it and could use things to make me want to keep going, so have this fun homemade music video from 2020 as my parting gift. Just because both the song and the video never fail to make me smile :)

A MUST SEE! 🌹 For any fan of The Roses, a pilgrimage to the Schitt’s Creek locations has to be on the list when in the Toronto area next. The vet clinic is an actual business, so maybe you’ll be lucky enough to spot a “Ted” 😉

I must think myself Aphrodite, because every time I create a character that is supposed to be the “pinnacle of beauty,” they happen to share my same features…

[hyunsvngs]

sitting in a meeting thinking about jisung absolutely pussy drunk eating you out from behind, whining and slobbering and jerking his cock until he's about to cum and isn't even eating you out anymore, just drooling all over you. he cums while sucking on your clit like a lollipop 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

-may @skzms

it was his choice to have you like this. with you bent over with your face in the pillows, fully naked save for the socks on your feet that jisung had insisted you keep on, he’s got access to everything. he’s drooling all over everything too, licking over the pucker of your asshole before moving down to your pussy with a gravelly, deep moan. you keen in response - your boy’s talented, even when he’s sloppy like this.

“s’good. t-tastes so fuckin’ good, hmnnfg, oh my god,” he rambles against you, and you hear him pull away with a hum, licking his lips before he dives back in again. there’s some rustling when he moves down to suckle on your clit, the pudgy, swollen muscle encased by his rosebud lips and his tongue flicking over the bud. you whimper with it, shifting backwards, legs spreading further to let him get at anything he wants.

you only realise what’s happening when he starts to slow down. there’s some more rustling, a sharp keen into your folds, and his lips smack together over your hole messily. when you manage to turn around, jisung’s pushed his pants down to his knees and is frantically jerking his wet, leaky shaft, precum dribbling over his fist.

“oh, baby,” you coo, pushing his head back into you by his messy hair. he huffs and sighs, nuzzling his nose into your folds before his tongue starts to dart out again. it’s messy and imprecise, but you appreciate the effort, wiggling backwards onto his mouth. jisung moans again at this, and the vibrations have your legs shaking too, pushing him in further by his hair. “eat it, jisungie, don’t g-get distracted!”

“i c’nt!” his tone is high, his fist quickening on his length. you can hear how wet it is just from him licking your pussy, and he absentmindedly sucks on your clit between his own loud noises. he whines again, shifts on his knees, and you hear it when he cums - the release hits the bed, right below your pussy, and all jisung can do is shake through it while he suckles on your clit with muffled moans.

a beat passes, and he pulls away with renewed urgency, hands scrabbling at your thighs to flip you over. you see him then, eyes biting with tears from his quick orgasm and his mouth wet and plushy. he only offers you a sweet gummy smile, hair floppy on his forehead, before he’s situating back between your legs again.

“brief intermission! sorry, my baby. i got carried away.”

if i posted photos of me with my recreation of mel’s makeup will anyone care…

[sorrowfulrosebud]

Greetings rosebud. Take a seat 🚽 ( I couldn't find a chair, so this will have to do)

I'd like to make a proposal. What if instead of me simply submitting a request, I'll pay you for it. In words, that is. I thought you deserve something for your work. So from now on I'll be repaying you with a story in return. It would essentially be a trade if. A story for a story

OMG OMG OMG I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS IDEA!

[treehollowowl]

Wanted to try my hand at designing fakemon concepts for LoA characters and decided to start with the EoM crew! Marius is first bc I had the most solid concept for him, but the others are in the works!

Additional info & rambling about my other ideas below:

Buddibat (rosebud + buddy + bat): A bat-like Pokémon that makes its home in dense undergrowth, to the point where they have adapted to incorporate the rosebushes into their anatomy. Though they are incredibly loyal companions for any trainer, they are known to be temperamental and impulsive at times.

Rosathyr (rose + Renathyr): When exposed to the energy within a dawn stone, Buddibat will evolve into Rosathyr. Rosathyr display unshakable devotion to their companions, using their sturdy wings to shield their loved ones from harm.

Renathorn (Renathyr + thorn): Buddibat who give in to their wrath will sometimes evolve into Renathorn. While Renathorn remain completely devoted to their friends, they will often choose to attack their enemies before defending their allies.

Additional Design/Process Notes

I was originally considering having steel as the shared typing between the three of them (for knight in shining armor, yknow), but I really wanted to get the rose motifs between all three of them so I settled on grass. I would love to see how someone could interpret Marius as a steel-type mon tho!

I also originally wanted to make the designs more horse-like (again for the knight theming), but I found I couldn't mesh it well with the bat theming. I just decided to lean into them being bat/hound-like creatures for the aspects of both vampirism and devotion

In terms of real Pokémon I was inspired by, the most prominent are Noivern, Lycanroc, and Roselia! The color palette is directly lifted from Brambleghast and Hisuian Decidueye, bc they're good examples of grass types that don't have green as their main color.

There's a ton of alternate names I came up with for these mons bc my favorite aspect of fakemon design is coming up with fun portmanteaus :) Some of my favorites are Brambat (bramble + Bram Stoker + bat), Chivalrose (chivalry + rose), and Abbite (Crimson Abbot + bite). If you have any other name ideas pls lmk!! I like seeing what ppl come up with!

(If u read this far, thank you!! I'm probably gonna work on a fakemon for Jericho next :D)

Shining Nikki to TS3 - Rosebud Dreams

yes I thought a lot if I named it like that or if I'd use the set name

This one is the hair from the set that celebrates the 2nd anniversary of Shining Nikki's global server. It is SO CUTE, it has a rose-shaped bun, and the moment I saw it on SN I knew I needed it on TS3 ^^

More pics and some rambling about the converting process under the cut.

ROSES IN A UPDO. THAT'S IT. And I just noticed it after I ripped it for conversion!!

The control got pretty decent too!

Now, the rambling:

These last days I've been struggling with some hair conversions, mostly with the damned transparency issues. Initially i thought that a SN hair with fewer groups* = a hair that will have very minimal issues. The previous hairs I converted (nikki's and netga) had less than 5 groups, and therefore almost imperceptible issues. But one of the difficult hairs I tried to convert had like 3 groups and BOY, IT WAS A STRUGGLE and I sort of gave up. I guess that in the end you have to be lucky with the mesh that you pic, or have extra patience/skills to get rid of these damn issues.

*Shining Nikki meshes are separated by groups instead of being everything in one single group like The Sims. If you want to know more about converting thing from SN, check my tutorial!

𝕆𝕗𝕗𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔹𝕠𝕨𝕝𝕤

Today, while discussing my goddesses and practices with my best friend, I was inspired by her decision to follow a path of devotion to the Celtic goddess of war, death, and fate, Morrigan. Her enthusiasm motivated me to finally take action and make a devotional offering to my goddesses, after a long period of personal healing.

Usually, I place offerings for Aphrodite directly on her altar. However, I haven’t been able to create a proper altar for Hel*, so I decided on an alternative approach: offering bowls.

So, without further ado, I present my offering bowls! I’ll be color-coding sections to help you easily find the important information through my ramblings.

[Content Warning: Mentions of real animal bones, blood.]

Let’s start with Hel’s offering bowl. In my digital journal, I mentioned/found that it’s best to leave food offerings until they are completely rotted away. Once that happens, all non-perishable items will be thoroughly washed and returned to Hel for devotional purposes. Any perishable remnants will be buried and returned to the earth.

What’s Inside Hel’s Offering Bowl?

Let’s begin with the more unusual items:

- Animal bones and a small vial of my own dried blood.

This might sound intense, but everything was ethically collected. The dried blood comes from a series of stress nosebleeds I had during a difficult time in my life. Offering blood to Hel is said to be a way for her to accept your pain and sorrow, so it felt fitting to include this little bottle of ground dried blood. The small animal bones are from a poultry dinner I had years ago. Initially, I saved them for work with another deity, but it turns out Hel was the one calling to me.

Now, for the rest of the offerings: In the bowl, there’s a Viking apple from my local orchard, honoring "Hel’s Orchard." There are also chunks of black obsidian and rainbow moonstone. Along with these, I’ve included crushed dried rose petals, dried yarrow buds, and dried rosebuds. To complete the offering, I added a black chime candle and a stick of myrrh incense.

Next is Aphrodite’s Offering Bowl.

For her, I’ll be removing the apple at the first sign of rot or decay—I like to keep her offerings as neat and beautiful as she is.

What’s Inside Aphrodite’s Offering Bowl?

Not to quote a popular meme, but compared to Hel’s bowl, Aphrodite’s is very mindful and demure.

Her bowl contains crushed dried rose petals and dried rosebuds, complemented by a scoop of crushed basil and a few sticks of cinnamon. There is a small collection of shells, including an “aura” shell*. Alongside the shells, I placed a chunk of rose quartz, a heart-shaped rose quartz, and a piece of angel aura quartz.

She was also given a Viking apple from my local orchard, as the apple is one of Aphrodite’s sacred fruits. To finish, I included a pink chime candle and a stick of myrrh incense.

Closing Thoughts

I found so much joy in creating these offering bowls, and I encourage you to try making one for your own deity—I’m sure they would appreciate it.

One last note: While assembling these bowls, I noticed a good few similarities in the offerings for both goddesses, which I found fascinating! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading through this, and thank you for taking the time to read my little post about the goddesses I am devoted to.

* For now, I have a mini or travel-sized altar for Hel in an old mint tin until I can create a proper altar.

* When I refer to “aura,” I'm talking about a treatment used on quartz, where platinum and silver are bonded with pure quartz to create “angel aura quartz,” which has a similar effect.

happy birthday yuka! (hope she and esora enjoy the view!)

(rambling under the cut because the tags cannot contain my love for them--)

the flowers are there for a reason not just bc roses mean romance and yuka is compared to a sunflower. those roses are rosebuds and they mean pure and lovely (w red ones) while the sunflowers are dwarf sunflowers and they mean adoration and love. i chose those because the roses are like how their love is pure and lovely yk? how pure this moment is of esora just. looking at yuka. the sunflowers are bc of esora comparing yuka to them and how esora is looking at yuka w so much love and adoration it's cute ok?

the outfits are from the esora birthday drawing and this is a follow up to it! i was supposed to make a comic but i dont have time so i'll tell u how it was supposed to go: they finished the ferris wheel ride and esora wanted to show yuka something on top of the rooftop of a nice tall building. when they arrived it coincidentally (esora asked the staff) fired off fireworks at the exact moment yuka went close to the railing to see the view. yuka was surprised and turned to look at esora to ask her abt the display only to see her abt to take a picture of her.

also yeah esora hasnt taken the photo in the drawing, this is at the moment she is about to do it but still looking at yuka, taking in the beautiful she had so perfectly set up. the firework behind yuka is supposed to make her look like the sun is right behind her or she is the sun herself, it makes it look like she is the center of attention and that she deserves all of the adoration and love esora is giving her. (also because the sunflowers are looking right at her)

something about how yuka always captures the greatest moments around her of landscapes and the things around her but not herself, so esora choosing and trying to capture hers is like she's saying "you deserve your best moments to be seen as well". or something.... i DONT KNOW!!!

the flowers being around and the whole composition is inspired by yuhki kamatani's work on shounen note and our dreams at dusk! i recommended checking our their work! it's so good especially if you love visuals! (their work is so beautiful...)

another thing that inspired this drawing was the last scene of my summer with you (a manga by nagisa furuya!) where one of the main characters takes a picture of the other without him or with him knowing (idk it's been a while) behind this pretty view. the manga actually inspired me a lot when i read it to draw yukaeso related stuff (mostly because of the summer focus nothing else) so i felt it was right to put a reference to it in this drawing!

the flowers were taken from pictures and ripped out to be used for the drawing yes. was it worth it? yes. would i do it again? yes very much.

i chose fireworks NOT because of the fact esora has this weird thing of being gay when there are fireworks but it just makes sense to watch a firework display after a ferris wheel ride, you know? (i wanted this to originally be the trope where one of them will say "look at the beautiful view!" and the other, looking at them, will say "yeah it is" but EUGHGHGHHHG I GOT EMBARRASSED AND I DIDNT WANT TO DRAW A COMIC WHERE EVERYTHING IS HIGH QUALITY--)

also another reason is because in ao to natsu (original not yuka's cover) there's a firework sound effect in one part of the song and since yuka covered it it made sense to make a reference to it as well!

i learned a lot on how to choose colors and stuff with this drawing, im proud of it! (i have yet again evolved my drawing abilities w yukaeso lol--)

if i wasnt so busy with school, i couldve made the comic but this drawing says everything and what i wanted to capture, you know?
