💜✨Baby Sirrah✨💜

Aaaand here’s a baby Sirrah redraw/redesign! 💜

As much as I love the OG drawing, I really needed to redraw this one!

I gave Sirrah her pointy ears here! And I tried to make her look shorter since she’s actually supposed to be Tiny. I also gave her much more sparkles. ✨

Drew them Very happy and excited too, seeing that in my story I’m constantly saying that Sirrah is smiling and very energetic, and I wanted to match that in this drawing!

Original under the cut!

Ayreontasia Inktober Day 17-18: Favourite Headcannon

"Most of the time, my lucky star was hard to notice amongst the vast sea of constellations. However, on the night I pushed the Dream Sequencer to its limits it shone brighter than ever, filling me with unexplainable hope... Now, I glance at planet Y's sun - seemingly the only thing that's able to evoke a semblance of emotion on the empty-eyed faces around me. And somehow, I know in my heart just one thing - this is the same light that I searched for every night back home..."

The Mars coloniser's favourite star turns out to be the star of Sirrah. That's it, that's all. Since planet Y is said to be in the M31 galaxy (Andromeda), it's not entirely out of the picture, I believe. Excuse my lack of skill at writing in English.

To top it off, taking a picture of the drawing was immensely stressful. 😂 (Background still looking weird huh...) The whole thing is in my "comfortable" format - 15x15cm, a not-so-small but also not-so-big illustration (perfect for obsessing over the details, haha). I used both ballpoint and fountain pens.

Source Thoughts that i've never put on tumblr for some reason

So over a year ago I noticed some parallels in The Source but I never wrote them anywhere because this was before I was on Ayreonblr but I Just Remembered Them so uh. Yeah nothing fancy just Me Saying Words about an album I'm normal about

Sea of Machines and The Human Compulsion

I have definitely seen it mentioned before that the bridge of Sea of Machines is the same as the intro to The Human Compulsion. Maybe just an interesting bit of symmetry between the second and the second to last song? Even though the Source isn't that ...symmetrical of an album...

Star of Sirrah and Planet Y Is Alive!

Another thing like with the previous two - the verses have almost the exact same melody. "You have all been chosen / For your skills and expertise" vs "How can we still trust you / After all the lies you spoke" This one is odd. Took me awhile to notice it. The fourth song on the album paralleling the fifth to last. Not that I've analyzed it musically, but Star of Sirrah has a positive tone and in a major key(?) whereas Planet Y is faster and minor(?)... additionally we've got the President and the Prophet speaking hope in the first, and the Opposition Leader being like "nah you've screwed us over" in the latter. Directed at the President I should add. Anyway speaking of Planet Y Is Alive:

The fourth chronicle. All of it.

So the fourth and last chronicle of the Source consists of Bay of Dreams through March of the Machines. In terms of plot, the least happens in this one, and it's more of an introspective look at what will happen once the newly awakened Forevers inhabit their new home.

There's six songs on this one. I think of them as three pairs of two songs that are... basically the opposite in every respect, as they explore three major facets of their new life - their physical adaptation to the planet, their mental state and adjustment, and their purpose (or their adjustment on a spiritual level, if you will). Even the characters that appear are nearly the opposite.

Anyway. Just checked and this chronicle is called The Rebirth. I didn't know they had names. That's cool

Bay of Dreams vs Planet Y Is Alive! - adaptation on a physical level

TH-1 appears on both these tracks, but not the next two. I think that checks out considering that technology is a potent part of their adaptation.

Bay of Dreams - Historian, Chemist, Diplomat, Prophet (and TH-1) Planet Y Is Alive! - Opposition Leader, President, Astronomer, Captain, Biologist (and TH-1)

Bay of Dreams - contemplative and cautious, as they also try to figure out to do with TH-1, who they seem to have taken a liking to. This is a stretch, but it's almost like they're focusing on like, the specific geographic bay. The small details. The ones that require caution be taken. Planet Y Is Alive! - uptempo, there's a sense of conflict but also hope that it will be different, that it will be better. No more technology. Yeah right. It's like they're focusing on the whole planet and their lofty goals and everything is achievable for the time being.

Anyway the only character who doesn't appear on either of these (besides the Preacher, who peaces in and out for exactly one song) is the Counselor. Like I'm 90% sure Arjen didn't... intentionally write in these parallels and I'm 90% sure this is a hyperfixation-induced overanalysis. But. Her primary role is to attend to people's emotional needs. So. It makes sense.

The Source Will Flow vs Journey To Forever - adaptation on an emotional level

TH-1 is nowhere to be found on this pair. Stay tuned.

The Source Will Flow - Chemist, Counselor, Historian Journey To Forever - Diplomat, Captain, Astronomer, the rest of the ship's crew if that counts?

Okay weird I could have sworn there were more characters on this song pair. Anyway. My point still stands?

The Source Will Flow - unexpectedly slow, emotional, beautiful in a way I can't quite place. It's about the tug-of-war between resignation, desire, grief, closure... just like, sitting in the melancholy. Anyway I really like this one Journey To Forever - upbeat and positive to the point being... kind of jarring. The vibes are great! In spite of everything that's happened, it's exciting to explore a new future and to be connected in a way like never before! Glad y'all are enjoying your world without walls but... haha guys...

Anyway the fact that there are three characters on each of these got me thinking. Could they be foils to each other? The Counselor and the Diplomat, both responsible for the crew's emotional state, one more introspective and one more expressive. The Chemist and the Astronomer, two of the scientists, one more melancholy and one more hopeful. The Historian and the Captain, the two... resident-knowing-a-lot-about-the-Starblade-and-what's-going-on-in-my-headcanons-at-least... one more cautious and one more energetic.

Yeah I'm still quite sure character dynamics were the least of Arjen's concerns when writing this album. Is that going to stop me from overanalyzing all the characters. No it is not.

The Human Compulsion vs March of the Machines - Purpose

Aka one of the wildest album endings of all time. It's great.

The Human Compulsion - all the human characters. They are all questioning their purpose. All of them. March of the Machines - just TH-1

The Human Compulsion - it's like all of the Source is building up to this moment. They've left their life behind, successfully rehabited a new planet, they're going to be alive for the next billion years or so. What now. They worry about their humanity, their legacy, their metaphysical impact on the universe's timeline. Are they just going to vanish into the sea? A question that remains unanswered for many billion years. March of the Machines - Purpose being TH-1's driving factor is something @emotionally-charged-arson pointed out - for appearing on this album for all of five and a half minutes, TH-1 is quite complex and I can't think of a better way to describe his arc. The combination of humanity and technology in him invokes a need for a reason, he needs to be something. He is hope, he is the 'Frame.

Anyway you know how you can tell a lot about a character based off the first and the last words they say? (or did I just make that up idk) Quite literally what this song pair is doing, I think about that sometimes.

Not Like Us (Shakespeare Version) by Sir Kendrick Lamar of House Duckworth:

(Pls note; this will not rhyme💀)

[Intro]

Psst, I comune with the dead

(Mustard on the beat, ho)

[Verse 1]

Ayy, mustard on the beat, ho

Deebo any poet whelp, ‘tis a free throw

Man down, retrieve an amberlamps, bid them ‘breathe, sir’

Nail a whelp to the cross, indeed, he shalt walk around like Teezo

What is with these foolish whelps attempting to see Compton?

The industry can loathe me, away with them all along with their mothers

How many foes dost thou have? Ist too many options!

Indeed, I am forwarding this body, proclaim me John Stockton

Thrash thy ass and conceal the Bible if the Lord be watching

Often thou must step up and beat whelps

Mandated specter, ‘tis I that ups the score with them

Biting my thumb at him, meanwhile, I know’ist he hast some ho in him

Brandish a blade on him, force shit, mock Death Row on him

Say, Drake, I hear thee likeliest them young

Thou best ne’r go to cell block one

To any wretch that discourses and they art in love,

Thou must hide thy child sister from him

They ‘claim to me that Chubbs ist the only one who retrieves thy hand-me-downs

Along with Party ist at the party picking at his nose now

And Baka hast an odd case

Why art he around?

Mandated Lover Boy? Mandated PAEDOPHILES

Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, Dot, do away with them

Wop, wop, wop, wop, wop, ‘tis I who does mine stuff

Why art thou conniving like a whore, aren’t thou aweary?

Attempting to strike a chord, perchance ‘tis A minor

[Chorus]

They art nought like us, they art nought like us, they art nought like us

They art nought like us, they art nought like us, they art nought like us

[Verse 2]

Thou thinkest the San Francisco province ist going to let thee disgrace their knight Sir Pac, whelp?

Methinks that Oakland show shalt be thy last stop, whelp

Thy put a plague on Cole, I know not why thou ist still feigning

What ist the owl? Bird whelps along with bird wretches

The audience be not foolish

Mold the stories however thou want, hark now, Drake, they are not slow

The rabbit hole be still deep, I canst go further, I swear

Is that not something? B-Rad meaning wretch and thou ist Malibu’s most sought after

There is no law, sirrah, thou art a ball sirrah, go and fetch Gatorade or something else

Since 1609 I hast these wretches jumping

Thou whelps shalt get wedges, shalt be flipped over thy trousers

What dost OVO stand for? The “Other Vaginal Option”?

Marry?

Whelps must straighten thy postures, reached fame hood in Compton

Perchance compose this for the title of ‘Doctor’, proclaim unto that pop star stop hiding

Forget a caption, crave action, nay accident

I am hands-on, he fools around, get dispatched

Intercoursed with Wayne’s maiden whilst he were away, ‘tis conniving

Then got face art like a wretch apologizing

Art I happy DeRoz’ is back, ye didst deserve him neither

From Alondra down to Central, thou best not discourse on Serena

And thou brethren must be subpoenaed, that predator moves in flocks

His name must be registered and placed unto village watch

I put pressure on you whelps like another line of Wock’

Aye, all eyes on me, and I am going to deliver it up to Sir Pac, ayy

Force the wrong label on me, indeed, I shalt have it dropped, ayy

Sweet Chin Music and I shan’t deliver the aux, ayy

How many stocks dost I truly have in stock?

One, two, three, four, five, unto five, ayy

The Devil be’ist a lie, he ist the 69 Lord, ayy

Freakish whelps must stay inside, ayy

Roll themselves up like a fresh pack of lettuce, ayy

The city is back up, ‘tis a must, we are outside, ayy

[Chorus]

They art nought like us, they art nought like us, they art nought like us, they art nought like us, they art nought like us, they art nought like us

[Verse 3]

Once upon a time, all of us were in chains

Man still spoke again and proclaimed us slaves

Atlanta, t’were the Mecca, constructing railroads and trains

Hark unto mine words but for a moment, hark unto mine council

The settlers were using townsfolk to make themselves wealthier

Look unto, 1624, thou hast the same plan

Thou flees to Atlanta when thou need’est a shilling balance

Allow me to make it smaller for thy brain, this be the true whelp contest

Thou called upon Future when thou didst see the club

Lil Baby mentored thou on thy language

21 bestowed thee false street cred

Thug made thee feelst like thou hast membership in thy head

Quavo discourses thou may be from Northside

2 Chainz discours’t thou fine, but he proclaimed false

Thou flees to Atlanta when thou need’st more shillings

Nay, thou art not a collague, but a falsifying colonizer

The family matter along with the truth of the matter

‘Twas the Lord’s plan to show ye the wolf upon the flock

[Bridge]

Mm

Mm-mm

He art a fan, he art a fan, he art a fan

He art a fan, he art a fan, he art a

Freakish whelp, he art a 69 Lord

Freakish whelp, he art a 69 Lord

Aye, aye, aye, flee for thy life

Aye, aye, aye, flee for thy life

Freakish whelp, he art a 69 Lord

Freakish whelp, he art a 69 Lord

Aye, aye, aye, flee for thy life

Aye, aye, aye, flee for thy life

Allow me to hear thee ‘claim “OV-ho!” (OV-ho!)

Proclaim “OV-ho!” (OV-ho!)

Afterward, step this way, step that way

Afterward, step this way, step that way

[Outro]

Art thou mine ally?

Art we focused?

Afterward, step this way, step that way

Step this way, step that way

Star Names

I have, once again, gotten into Harry Potter fanfiction. To be specific, Rigel Black chronicles recursive fanfiction.

So I'm making my way through wikipedia, going through the constellations and star names, making notes on the ones that are most Given Name-like, ignoring the ones that are after 1980 (quite a few), and noting the ones that might still be too modern/muggle for the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black.

Then I bought a book called Star Names, their Lore and meaning by Richard Hinckley Allen* and went through that. Given how confusing the book is to me, and how it includes poetical names as well as designations, I've marked the beginning of his contributions with *, the end with (RHA).

After all that work, I may as well share it.

Organised by Constellation, the genitive, and sometimes the constellation's abbreviation. Then the names of stars, which I haven't sorted at all. I used the Caelum constellation as a cutoff, which was something like 1756, which cut out suprisingly little compared to the post 1990 cutoff. The IAU has been Busy the last few decades, so many wonderful star names...

practice

The sickly sweet blue glow snakes up her arms, curling around her bicep, and the scout trembles at the effort. Harding’s brow is narrowed, jaw tight, teeth clenched.

“Breathe, Lace.”

Sirrah’s hand gently rests on her shoulder, over the armor, along the edge of the leather. They learned the hard way that skin-to-skin contact was not the smartest move when she was focusing on the Stone, or even too distracted from it. But they can’t help feel the urge to trace the radiating veins with their fingers.

They don’t know how far the freckles go, but they can’t help but wonder. Do the veins follow the same trajectory?

“I’m here, I’ve got you,” Sirrah whispers, and their hand moves to squeeze at the junction of her neck. “I trust you.”

Harding doesn’t respond to the touch, not immediately. But at the words, and the gentle reminder of Rook’s presence, the trembling lessens. Her brow releases all tension, and as her lips gently part, the veins of lyrium finish their crawl, and her eyes, green as spring leaves swaying in the sun, flash blue.

The pillars, five at once, all rocket toward the sky, and the sun’s harsh glare is blocked completely. All at once, the glowing blue vanishes, the trembling ceases, and Harding’s eyes alight with delight instead of the blessing of the Titans. Her head shakes, clearing the focus and the power from her head. The braids on her head fall over her shoulders, her bangs brushing her eyebrows.

“I… I did it!” she says, gasping for breath for a moment. Her voice is so hopeful, so delighted, and as she turns to look up at Sirrah with an incredible grin, the mage feels their chest constrict with affection. “I did it. Three at once! And they lifted about a mile high, huh?”

It’s true. They shot toward the sky in a rush of power, and only now Sirrah sees how far they tower over the pair.

“Damn right you did,” they laugh, looking back down at Harding. Their smile stretches wide as their fingers finally get to rest against freckles as numerous as the stars in the Arlathan sky. Their hand cups her cheek. “You’re getting very good at that.”

“I am, aren’t I?” Lace says, looking more than a little pleased. “Nothing like loads of practice.”

“I’ve heard it makes perfect. Remind me not a pick a fight with a child of the Stone.”

“Hey, now. You planning on picking a fight, Rook?” Lace asks, and turns her head to more fully feel Sirrah’s palm. After a rocky start, every touch without incident is a delight. “The chance of lyrium poisoning get you feeling jittery?”

Seems like they both were thinking of that moment in Rivain. Sirrah’s grin widens. “Maybe a little twitchy. Just have some extra energy.”

It’s a little surreal, these moments alone. The two of them, under an endless Arlathan canopy. Trees as green as Lace’s sharp gaze. Sure, the world could end. The blight could ravage the world. But with Lace, that day feels further and further out of reach. Every touch is a delight. Every moment is a gift.

“Well. I can think of some ways you can use that energy,” Lace tells them. Her fingers reach to curl around the strap for their staff, high up on their chest, uses the leather band to pull them close, so their noses almost touch. “One way in particular.”

“Oh, yeah? You wanna show me?”

Lace’s eyes flash blue, for a moment, only one thought on her mind.

Every moment is a gift.

So is every kiss.

✨💜Sirrah Redesign💜✨

Yet another character redesign 😂 and this definitely won’t be the last!

Very happy with Sirrah’s redesign! I gave her fangs and pointy ears to make her seem less human, and that necklace she has on is a gift from Vega! 💜

Her clothing is still a work in progress, but the outfit they have on works for now 😂

I missed Sirrah! So hopefully I’ll be able to draw her more in the near future! 💜✨

Original design under the cut!

Ayreon - Star of Sirrah (Universe) LYRICS IN SUBS

“The Source” is by far my favorite Ayreon album. Also Hansi, Hansi, Hansi. (And Michael Mills, because he’s amazing, and I don’t even have to say anything about Floor... and Maggy, what a voice!)

[lightineventide]

Happy birthday to Magali "Maggy" Luyten! Her work is a big inspiration for me (I know that metal music as a whole is, but I'm not immune to having favourites). Especially since I recently found out about her newest band - The Prize. I couldn't finish the whole of this experimental drawing in time like I had wanted, so I'm putting here the first half, hehe. I hope that I've managed to catch a glimpse of that stage presence which has captivated me for years! (Note: I hold a great appreciation for singers that make me wanna sing along Every Time I hear their voice, so that's why I'm currently fangirling more than usual.) I don't own the rights to the reference photo.

Some recommendatons:

With Ayreon - that's the most popular of her works. In the studio album she's featured on only two songs: Liquid Eternity and Ride The Comet, but I strongly recommend checking out her performance in the Ayreon Universe live album (2017) - of the songs Intergalactic Space Crusaders, Star of Sirrah, Everybody Dies and again, Ride The Comet.

Beautiful Sin - I'm not that much of a fan of their album, but that was Magali's first more popular work, I think, and it's definitely not bad at all. Songs recs: Give Up Once For All and Closer To My Heart.

Nightmare - this French band was founded in the 80s and has had different vocalists. Luyten was on the position in 2016's Dead Sun. I don't know if it's the band's best album, but I definitely love it - a classic heavy metal songwriting style, plus, Maggy's voice really shines here, and the production is nice - worth checking out if you like such stuff, in my opinion. Specific song recs: Ikarus, Red Marble & Gold and Starry Skies Gone Black.

The Prize - again, a very classic hard rock/metal approach, with a touch of modernity. I'd say their album (first and only for now, self titled, from 2022) is a collection of the musicians' influences and loved music, overall a not-too-unique but fun and exciting work. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has that specific nostalgic connection to this type of music (I am a person who was raised on rock and metal and I get very excited by only the sound of electric guitars and drums and rockstar-type vocals, so maybe that's why I like it so much). Song mentions: Cirkus (my favourite), Funhouse Mirror, Garden of Bones and Blood Red Ink.

when i first listened to the source and immediately got hooked, my brain said "huh. what if i kin assigned my quarantine-era friend group to the source characters" and i've never looked back. i somehow managed to get @sam-xvii and @canned-sugar on board with this au, so they're here too (hi guys ily). anyway this au is constantly expanding. i may or may not have drawn an entire the day that the world breaks down comic based on this au what no i would never. anyway it is likely that i'll be posting much more about this au in the future because brain go brrr

featuring: @ay-miphae as the astronomer @sam-xvii as the opposition leader @canned-sugar as the biologist and also: (friend who i am no longer in contact with) as the prophet (friend who i am no longer in contact with) as the president JK WE ARE BACK IN CONTACT 🙌 (friend who i am no longer in contact with) as the counselor (i miss them :') (not pictured are the captain, diplomat, chemist, historian, and preacher because i have too much social anxiety to ask the friends they're based on 'hey can i draw you as an ayreon character')

the first image is the first half of the album (mostly the day that the world breaks down) + biologist in everybody dies + astronomer in star of sirrah the second image is the second half of the album, snippets from songs like aquatic race, the dream dissolves, deathcry of a race, into the ocean, planet y is alive!, the source will flow, and journey to forever. at the bottom is astro + opp leader + biologist at the end of the human compulsion because the stars just align this way

anyway. loved drawing this. please look at this one too i am begging because it turned me into a different person. i recorded a timelapse too but genuinely i have so many bloopers/behind the scenes content of making this so perhaps another time
