Sunset wayfarer Loop

Unlike with Faelantern, this one didn’t remind me of Loop at all I just wanted to draw them with butterflies and also yay sunsets

Anyway OG and effectless ver. below

The text version is blasted with light effects bc the dungeon events are shown on an old display screen and are glared to all hell. Finally got it again in MD so i can add the ingame ss

@osirisarrow made a debut bot release in the past and @castiwls made a fearless one just now- do I take it upon myself to make a speak now one? 🤔🤗

I love picking back up a fic I haven’t touched in five months. I’m reading all my fragmented written sections like “What the fuck is happening here”

On thoughts of a continuation....

I'll be honest, they probably didn't have anything initially planned beyond the series.

The thing to remember is that Bandai-Namco have been very gunshy about non-Universal Century Gundams ever since the abject and miserable failure of Gundam AGE, the underperformance of Iron-Blooded Orphans (in Japan, it had more traction in the West) and the success of Gundam Unicorn in the early-to-mid '10s. Both AGE and IBO were not UC, while Unicorn was and helped bring back some older fans that had left when the Universal Century was left behind as the main Gundam continuity for television series in the early 1990s.

Since IBO, which ended six years ago, not only have there been no mainline television series, practically everything has ever been set in the safe comfort of the Universal Century, or have been a Gunpla-based animation. (As an aside, watch Gundam Build Divers ReRise. It's actually secretly a very good Gundam series.)

G-Witch was basically them dipping their toes in the water. It's why this weekend with the series ending, they immediately released a trailer for a long awaited movie set in the most popular AU, Gundam SEED, as well as a new UC project. They had planned those announcements ages ago to cover their base if G-Witch was a failure.

That being said, because I know that sounds discouraging, Witch from Mercury is not a failure. It's basically brought Gundam back to relevance outside it's normal fandom for the first time in a long time, pulling in new viewers and new people to a franchise that, to be honest, had grown very stagnant.

I have to think that some conversations are being had, and have been had about new possibilities, they'd basically be foolish not to. Whether that means we'll see a return to the Ad Stella universe, and whether we'll see Miorine and Suletta, and when that could be, I can't say or promise, but I do think the odds are better than it was, say, this time last year.

[procrastinatorproject]

I think I might have had a bit of a revalation this fine morning.

Last night, @horizonproblems and I attended this truly amazing talk in a public lecture series on Star Trek that my uni is hosting this term. (It was all about the Third Age of Star Trek and some very valid, nuanced perspectives on hope and optimism and writing utopias under neoliberal capitalism and it was just... amazing. But that's not the point right now XD)

Afterwards, we chatted with the presenter about "Trekademia" (I love that concept so much!). I mentioned I'd seen the call for papers/talks for this lecture series that went out over a year ago (I was working for the English dept. at the time), but I never applied, because the only remotely Trekademic writing I'd ever done was my in-universe essay on holo-sentience and holographic food "The Cake is a Lie". And he asked me to send him a link, even though I never managed to finish writing and it's essentially missing the most interesting section.

But I took the opportunity to reread what I have posted and then look through my WIPs and I realized something: One of the reasons I think I was never able to finish writing the findings section of this "paper" is because I had So Many Ideas that I wanted to weave in. So many little moments with the holos, so many character facets and worldbuilding snippets. And it doesn't work with the extremely academic tone I'm going for.

And after sleeping on it, it occurred to me: I can still post all the outtakes that don't make it into the actual paper! I can keep the tone and focus of that essay and cut out any extraneous bits that don't work in that fram -- and then post a separate work that's like... the researchers field notes or something, where I put aaaalll the little details that didn't make the cut of the official writing!

It will be in bullet points and disconnected and self-indulgent as all heck -- but I'm sure there will be at least a handful of people out there apart from me who would still enjoy that particular take on various holo-headcanons. And even if I'd only be writing it for me, that would still be allowed!

So, no promises that anything might happen, but I just wanted to put it out there as a reminder to myself, if nothing else. Being deeply attached to your ideas and self-indulgent bits of writing is allowed! And even if you need to cut them from the concrete story you're trying to tell because they hurt the pacing or structure or tone, that doesn't mean you have to completely abandon them. There are always ways to share your outtakes and additional notes, on AO3 or tumblr or Discord or whatever, and you're always allowed to share them. Even if nobody but yourself will get a kick out of them, you're still allowed!

(And chances are, somebody else will be interested in reading your rambling thoughts and delighted to find them, actually.)

[energeticpoltergeist]

yet again, i end up making the first time i talk about an au on my tumble be a meme redraw without any context for the au, though it also doubles as both an excuse to figure out how to write in Ancient Tongue and as propaganda for my Naesala is bilingual headcanon the outfit isn't what he wears in the au btw i just felt like being silly oh yeah i'll only do this for my side meme shit for aus with Ancient Tongue, because yes the hypothetical comic will have some of that there, but the text is meant to translate to "Remember when...?" No! I dont remember anything thats ever happened to me!

[five-accordian-cup]

i decided to celebrate passing my exam by doing birdtober day 8! the prompt was heron, so I decided to do the first "rare" bird i ever saw: the yellow crowned night heron!

I saw this one on lake hefner about midsummer two years ago. even better, I took a picture (which i don't usually do when I go birding) so here you are:

I felt very proud of this id lmao, it was right when i first started birding. as always, no promises that I will do every birdie on the prompt list, but maybe i will do a couple more as time permits.

[cheddertm]

me: lmao it would be cool if there was a fanfic about Jay leaving with her dad because I think that would just be neat. not me tho since I'm kinda busy n stuff haha

also me:

me: shit.

[ohwowimlonley]

Girlies I promise I’m not dead I’m just shit

"Demonic Romance Nonsense: DSM- Bonus Tattoo" Please!

@kedreeva

thanks for the WIP ask!!

my beta reader has proven me to be easily manipulated and so behold: potential bonus DSM snippet

You thought you would be nervous now that the time had come to actually get your tattoo. It’s taken time to save the coin for it, but really it had been the artist you had been waiting on. You needed the right tattooist, one who could do the design you’d taken months to refine justice.

[isatohlee]

I’m joining this years artfight!

You can find me at https://artfight.net/~IsatohLee

This is my second year and I hope to draw more. Though being in another country for over half the month of July is definitely going to hold me back.

Still excited to participate nonetheless.

And all the attacks I’ll do will be posted here

[filia-floris]

your ryoma panels are giving me enough serotonin to live omFg.

Ajkskjd same anon, same. Even if the scene itself has a slight touch of sadness.

Thank you so much! I'm happy to know that someone besides me needs those pages

[somethingsomagicaboutwords]

I don't know why but coming back from my lurker era and starting to reblog/post again is a lot of pressure on myself.
