OKAY OKAY GET READY FOR A LONG ASK

THIS IS ASTRAL!! THIS IS HER DESIGN SO FAR, BUT I'LL PROBABLY REDRAW IT AND TWEAK SOME THINGS SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. (got lazy and didn't shade, mb)

SHE'S HALF IMP/DEMON OR WHATEVER AND HALF HUMAN! I HOPE YOU LIKE HER!

Astral always had an interest in dark magic and the twisted minds behind it.

Imps were typically stereotyped and shunned while she was growing up, so she never really head a drive to stay away from lesser accepted magic.

She mingled among the darker side, learning, until one day she unexpectedly made a breakthrough in any aspect of time magic (you can choose if you'd like!) while messing around; a form of magic rarely practiced and preformed with an incredible amount of precaution due to the dangerous capabilities of it. Astral quickly became high ranking in the community and published a few powerful studies after this despite her mild age gap between her (now) peers. She had been lucky to "rise to power" at a time when higher-ups were getting a little younger.

Originally, she was a jack of all trades, but began to hone in on certain crafts and become generally skillful. Astral was generally revered (apart from critisism on her former immaturity and how she "got too powerful too early" because she wasn't very skilled yet), and had amazing access to everything that she wanted to learn thanks to her position in the community.

However, she realised later on that she did not have insight into normal magic's culture. Astral never really showed face in the normal magic communities until around when WxS started getting well-known. She needed to face society to properly reach the level of her peers, but regardless, she took it more like a fun, new adventure.

Because of her connections, some prestiged magicians that knew the witch from the dark magic scene and took her in, allowing her into high-ranking events to learn the culture.

A few keen eyes grew suspicious at first, as Astral had been very bashful about her integration. She had a substantial amount of knowledge, yes, but no known studies despite being at these gatherings.

Well, that's the first time her breakthrough came in handy. Someone was saved from a wrench in time due to her research, and felt indebted to her. Before they were lost for a few years, they meant to publish their studies on necromancy (the accepted, normal practices of it), but heard of Astral's escapades and felt they needed to help her.

So, now Astral is a mid-ranking normal, high-ranking dark magician that has hosted many influential dark magic experiments, being interested in the psychology of the twisted people behind the less ethical region of dark magic, and introducing more effective and ethical methods. Can't say she's the most moral herself though.

(I'll send how she's connected to the RPG AU in my next ask! I haven't fully thought it out yet and I'm a little busy, so I don't know how long that'll be.. but thx sm for letting me ramble!)

Little witchy girl!!! Awww sooo cute

For the time magic part, maybe a sort of possibility roulette? Minor enough in time magic as a whole but still decent enough to make an impact as even Rui isn't completely sure how he managed to reset a whole timeline just yet XD. She can sort of get the future possibilities people can take and influence them and as she gets upgraded has a higher chance for the influence to work in a possibility she wants

The WxS side quest possibilities as they meet her even though to her, she's on her own major quest! WxS are certainly not ones to shy away from other communities they think could need help.... or a big shake up

I'll be eagerly awaiting more :D

I didn’t do the cosplay just for the meme….

Flying to Italy and finding the exact field to recreate the picnic scene was pretty amazing. The costume took me a month to make 😮‍💨 it was so nice to shoot it in THE field!!

Edit: thank you guys SO MUCH for all the love on this cosplay! If you’d like to donate to support future cosplays, I’ve created a ko-fi account here! 💖 donate

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

Happy New Year 2024 from Korea.

Year of the 🐲🐉!

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

This one truly took so long to paint 😭The video recording of the process took 10 sessions instead of the usual 3.

But I'm really happy with how it turned out! I've always loved the impressionist art style above all other oil painting styles, so it's been a blast studying the works of Monet and modern impressionists, and adding my own touch to the skies as well.

The full res image, painting process, and pphotoshop files will be part of July's Patreon rewards!

Hi guys

[spockderangementsyndrome]

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.
