#shadowdog

[fairyfortalliance]

fairydog is just. what is it to love someone who keeps dying. you vowed to protect her yet you’re never there when she dies. you gave this man your life when you keep losing yours. do you regret this blood oath? do you regret this pact? do you regret it when it follows you to the grave and then beyond it? she might still be alive if it wasn’t for you. you already gave him one life then spare another one when you don’t have to. ‘what do you care about then?’ ‘my allegiance is only to the shadow’. it is always too painful to say what you really mean: i love you.

day 365!

it’s been a whole entire year since i started this blog! i almost can’t believe it.

thank you to everyone who’s following this silly little blog. all 112 of you. you guys mean the world to me, just like lizzie and ren do!

i’ve been working on this for a little bit now, and i’m super excited that i finally get to show you! i’ve never done anything like this before, so bear with me.

i really hope you like the prompts i came up with!

any type of media is welcome! fanart, fanfic, any type of fanwork. i have a collection set up on ao3 if you want to post there. use the #faefortweek here on tumblr.

other characters can of course be featured, but keep ren and lizzie as the focus. other than that, go wild! have fun, be creative.

i’m gonna reblog everything that i can to this blog, so please let me know if you don’t want me to.

i’m not sure how many people will actually participate, but honestly, i’ll be happy if even a couple people do.

and again, thank you all for sticking around. for a whole year.

I voted the best ship ever! (Alongside shiny duo ofc)

Did I understand the stuff right can I have a little fic now?

Some Shadowdog maybe?

hi linny of COURSE I'll give you shadowdog however the Greek myths brainrot is real so your getting orpheus!Lizzie and eurydice!Ren :3 (I PROMMY the next request won't be an AU) "Ren!" Lizzie called, bursting through fields of shades in Asphodel, Pearl - The Queen of the underworld - walking behind her. "Patience and peace, girl, while we find your love- ah, there he is. Now, little musician, you must walk out of here the way you came, with him behind you. If you look back, your quest fails, and he comes back down." Pearl said, no remorse in her voice. "Of course, lady Pearl. I-" Her voice faltered, doubt creeping in. "I won't look back." "If you want your love back, then you better not." -~- And so began Lizzie's journey back up to the surface, singing under her breath. Realistically, she knew Ren was behind her. And the surface was right there. But doubt came creeping in. "What if all of this was a trick by lady Pearl? What if he isn't there?" She muttered to herself. She couldn't take it anymore. She looked back. And there stood her Ren, her dear Ren. Almost fully formed, looking at her. He reached out, and so did she, and they grasped hands before the Underworld claimed what had always belonged to it. "...Ren." haha sorry I angsteded you a bit there :D!! hope this was enjoyable (I hope you cried /j)

kitten

found a kitten

she bite me :(

It was only because she was scared tho. She was actually a little sweety! She was surrendered to the shelter because we have way too many cats to care for already. Calling tomorrow to check up on her! I also need to make sure she's still healthy because of the bite lol

Look at this tiny thing (hand for size)

[gifs, full storyboard, behind-the-scene rambles under cut]

past 48h animatics: MCYTETC2023, ETC2023

[Red Lives-Suspicion; Prayer-Determination; Fireworks]

Fiddled with gradient maps this time for some additional colors :D I would have colored in the eyes as well, but I didn't have enough energy left when the event hit the 47th hour xD

Also played around with camera movements. Respect to people who do fan edits and other forms of video/ assets editing 'cause keyframes are so 😭

13 hours to draft storyboard this time! Last year I used 16 but with waaay more frames idk how I accomplished that. Probably bc this year I'm drawing more than three(3) characters lmao

Progress Timeline:

[13th hour] finished storyboard/ draft (plany off time...) [25th hour] lineart for the first 10 seconds (wuh oh) [36th hour] lineart for the first 25 seconds (oh shit oh fuck gotta shorten it) [45th hour] finished Bdubs' part (NOOO I DONT HAVE TIME FOR ETHO)

ngl kinda glad i cut it in half rn 'cause i'd have to spend time figuring out shadowDog's design /lh

Designs I used for Lizzie and Joel (old art from 2022 and 2021 respectively) (holy shit i've been here for 3 years???)

Joel *shakes fist* i hate u and ur stupid beard

[Lyrics vibe/scene planning; hours before disaster]

I think most of the drawn parts didn't deviate from the initial idea. Mostly timing adjustments and building upon the vibes. The parts that were changed the most was the "And you caused it (×3 combo)".

Went from "vague flashbacks" to "following Etho and co. out of the cave and back to Scott's base while implying who Etho blames with single character focus shots".

The first one is Scott because he suggested the idea. Like, obviously he's to blame. It's not like Etho went along and cemented the deal himself. Scott totally peer-pressured him into it.

The second one is Etho because... well the scene ends up kind of being like. The sight of the Snow Fortress triggering a flashback. (EthosLab the content creator deliberately turned his camera towards the Snow Fortress and holds it there for a second instead of looking at the huge lava pillar right in front of him. What is WRONG with him.)

But also like. Clocks are kind of special to Bdubs right. Whoever gave him a clock basically has his (temporary) loyalty or at the least earned a favor from him. So like. If he hadn't gifted Bdubs the clock, which signifies a closer(?) bond, maybe Bdubs wouldn't be so devoted to him (wrong). Also serves as a call-back/ reference to the "Prayer-Determination" shot ("pray with clock" in the scene planning screenshot). I like to think that Bdubs weighted his options and thought about "if he will kill/ who to kill" a lot while following the other Red Names. And in that scene he's like, convincing/ motivating himself. Remembering who/ what he's doing this for.

(It is also meant to be part of my giftee's other prompt: "an exploration of the doubt one or both of them felt during the heart transfer that didn’t happen after Bdubs killed Lizzie, and the following guilt Etho felt." The Etho section starting from "we're setting fire to our inside for fun" til the end of the animatic is based on that prompt.)

After a brief period of self-blame, it's time to shift it onto someone else! Because you're in denial! If Bdubs hadn't gone red, then Etho wouldn't have to offer the deal. If Bdubs hadn't want to stay as teammates, then he wouldn't agree to the deal. If Bdubs wasn't so devoted to Etho, then he wouldn't have attacked Lizzie and gotten himself killed.

Then the animatic ends with the end of the session :D

...That's longer than I expected but also not that long. If you read through all that, tysm :] Tell me your thoughts! Have a good day/ evening/ night :D

“Yo whos dog is this???”

[ahllohehn]

Oh, yeah, sorry

I'm not too familiar with the ship :[

[strobarium]

like...damn-near indescribable experimental extraterrestrial pop? come with me...

long-ass title...

"pvr pregnant teens // before abstract tech support schedule // dad turns 50" by tirestires

(from "shadowdog." if Los Angeles by Flying Lotus didn't exist, this would be my #1 album like, ever. i love it.)

HOOO MAN,

i just got this album SURPRISE RECOMMENDED to me by a longtime friend i havent spoken to in a while who i met from twitter. as i kinda imply in the title i have such a hard time fucking describing how it sounds to Anyone. i got sent stems (song layers, basically) for one of the songs a while back (me and the artist eventually became friends!!!) and even THAT and being LITERALLY TOLD in detail how the post-processing worked and shit just DID not clear up as much as i thought it would! it is so immense! between the way it sounds (btwn production and the fact that the lyrics are basically indecipherable except if u read the lyrics sheets and listen Very Closely), the...Weird (but lovely) cover art, the word-salad artist name & track names and the sorta lost media-y nature of it (it was on bandcamp but just Disappeared. luckily it was archived as you can see) like. its almost like fucking, aliens made it or something!!! i like this record a lot Lol theres truly nothing else like it on this earth

...ANYWAY.

this song evokes a lot of memories of (oldest sibling) hooking up their laptop to the television in the upstairs living room (i will always have an i guess strange fondness for VGA ports/cables for this reason lmfao) and showing me and my older brother stuff. specifically songs and like. cool comics and shit they'd get put onto from tumblr. (they used the website a lot before i eventually did, and have seen many parts of it i havent) was a whole new world of the internet to me at the time! i kinda cited it as deviantart-adjacent in terms of energy, so i could Kinda understand aspects to the culture but a lot of it was just very new to me. was cool. i really do miss having someone like that in my life who could put me onto stuff like that with a High success rate. would be nice to have that again. shrug.

would recommend this one for anyone into dense, maximalist sound design and a huge ear for i guess....melodic layering? yeah that sounds about right.

ALSO LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM WHILE YOU'RE AT IT! PARDON THE FUCKING WEIRD LYRICS AND THE WEIRD TITLES I THINK THE ARTIST WAS GOING THROUGH A PHASE OF SORTS WHILE HE WAS PRODUCING THE RECORD W HIS HOMIES . WAGH . WORTH A LISTEN THOUGH IMO
