More sketchbook stuff

Some Taylors, Aki (ft some roses), Ema and co.

[dawningwinds-s]

Got bored and decided to a bit of height math for some of my OCs:

Mira is approximately 1.25x as tall as Nicholi. Taylor is approximately 1.13x as tall as Nicholi. This means that if Nicholi is 5'00" Mira is about 6'3" and Taylor is about 5'8". Nicholi. This has Taylor a bit taller than I had in mind, but not unreasonably so, so I might commit this as their canon heights. It does mean Nicholi is fucking tiny but if I made him any less tiny than Taylor will get closer to six foot than I think she should be. I might actually make him an inch or two smaller to put Taylor closer to average height. Idk.

IS ANYBODY GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE OAKWORTHY GARASHIR PARALLELS. IS ANYONE GONNA DO A DS9 AU OR DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF

[dawningwinds-s]

Uh, that depends. What's in the room? I don't expect her to actively try to hurt me but like. Safety is priority number last if you get her science stuff.

You’re stuck in a room with the last character in your gallery. How safe are you?

Thanks for tagging me @artsy-girl-76 @schnarfer @oonajaeadira @jeewrites (I’m so sorry if I missed anyone!)

Does this guy count?

Namco X Capcom, Project X Zone, Super Robot Wars: Original Generation, and Endless Frontier English VA headcanons

I'm bored so I'll list off my English voice headcanons for the original characters from those games.

How this'll work is that I'll say a character's name and show off which English VA best suits them in my opinion. Along with that is the roles I mainly associate with their assigned voice actor.

Reiji Arisu - Chris Hackney (Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Boey from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Quan from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War in Fire Emblem Heroes, and Renju Okiura from AI: The Somnium Files)

Xiaomu - Eden Riegel (Estelle from Tales of Vesperia, May from Guilty Gear, Genny from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, female Kana from Fire Emblem Fates in Fire Emblem Heroes, Marie from Persona 4 Golden, and Princess Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom)

Saya - Reba Buhr (Ivy from Fire Emblem Engage, Jill Fizzart from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn in Fire Emblem Heroes, and Ritsuko Enshu/Lemniscate receptionist from AI: The Somnium Files)

Kogoro Tenzai - Bryce Papenbrook (Asbel Lhant from Tales of Graces, Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa 1, Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa 2, Silver the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog, and Theodore from Persona 3 Portable starting from Persona Q)

Mii Koryuji - Erin Fitzgerald (Chie Satonaka from Persona 4, Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa, Quark from Virtue's Last Reward, and Fon Master Ion from Tales of the Abyss)

Chizuru Urashima - Allegra Clark (Both Dorothea Arnault and Shamir Nevrand from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Boss from AI: The Somnium Files, Marisa from Street Fighter 6, and Mitsuru Kirijo in Persona 3 Reload)

Sanger Zonvolt - Patrick Seitz (Ragna the Bloodedge from BlazBlue, Dark Cacao Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom, Hector from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade starting from Fire Emblem Heroes, and Jeritza von Hrym from Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Haken Browning - Zeno Robinson (Fogado from Fire Emblem Engage, Remy Remington from Big City Greens, Junpei Iori in Persona 3 Reload, Dee Jay in Street Fighter 6, and both Mint Choco Cookie and Eclair Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom)

Kaguya Nanbu - Megan Taylor Harvey (Veyle from Fire Emblem Engage, Sue from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade in Fire Emblem Heroes, Ringo from Soul Hackers 2, Sophia from Persona 5 Strikers, Yumi from Senran Kagura in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, and Hootle from Tales of Arise)

That's all! I wish I could add more for the rest of Endless Frontier's main characters (Aschen Brodel, Suzuka, Aledy Naash, and Neige Hausen) as well as for Kyosuke Nanbu and Excellen Browning, but I couldn't think of who their English VAs should be as of now :( Sorry!

3, 19, 27 for the ao3 wrapped :)

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

ohhhhh it's probably a toss-up between all your life because one of the constant praises i get is that it really feels so in character and feels like an episode and that makes me happy ;-; and then the other was a dreadful plight because i loooooove writing boyd and i really feel like i nailed his voice which i know can be hard!

oh and my odo+quark drabble just because i loved writing that dialogue :'D

19. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?

i reallllly wanna write some hoffstrahm from the saw franchise because they're fascinating to me, and i also want to really finish justified and get into raylan/boyd some more (and i'm not just saying that because it's you :'D)

27. What do you listen to while writing?

it depends on what mood i'm in! sometimes i listen to taylor swift and sometimes i listen to broadway and sometimes i listen to fall out boy for five hours straight. i used to make playlists for fics as you well know but i've fallen out of that, i should try to do it again

send me a number for my ao3 wrapped!

“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” s6e8 (1997)

Resurrection, written by Michael Taylor.

A complex and thoughtful sci-fi love story. Religious beliefs play a big part in the relationship, and add a lot to the proceedings. Making the story feel fresher than it actually is.

Philip Anglim and Nana Visitor, in particular, are great.

The big twist at the midpoint feels almost unnecessary. Luckily, it doesn't overwhelm the key character arc. We're really invested in this guy's journey; we really care about which path he will choose. A credit to the writing/acting. And the directing by LeVar Burton.

Fantastic use of Quark in this script. And Worf - written/played as a loveable grump - is hilarious.

10/10

Top five forms of potatoes 👀

[dawningwinds]

@ygoc-week Permission to do this has been granted and I spent a stupid amount of time on this piece people should see it.

[faytalepsy]

What's your favourite song to get you in a good mood, and your favourite dish/salad to bring to a potluck/barbecue?

Hmm always depends what mood I’m in at the moment but sure ways to work are I need a hero by Bonnie Taylor or Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men!

Either a Tomato/Mozarella salad or a dessert called Schneegestöber in German! (It contains frozen raspberries, yogurt/quark and meringue)

Was it over…?

“When he unbuttoned my blouse? Come here, I whispered in your ear”

Nicki Minaj’s tune “Bahm Bahm” is the bomb-bomb. And has a balm bomb in it too.

The first line she gives praise to the Lord, just in another language. It’s pretty cool.

Initials are where it’s at:

Pretty underwhelming in English. But type them in Arabic and an impressive devotion comes thru.

Check it out: “There I go again kicking some dumb flow…”

Tigksdf

Part of the message is there. And it requires or invites a listener to apply some sense to it. Here are the same initials minus “a” for “again”.

ت ي غ ك س د ف

The letters in red are the Arabic characters for t-y-g-k, presumably along the lines of “thank you God, king…”. There’s more though.

Simltanously, those letters spell a strikingly convincingly miraculous stylized spelling of Jesus’ name. Either “Jesu” or “Jesus” if you turn an English eye toward it.

As for the rest, “sd” and “df” are each a truncation of an Arabic term and an English word in AAVE. “Sd” (س د) would be spelled with an “a” in the middle, but there’ll be no more sadness. Keep that in mind.

As for “df” it’s AAVE abbreviation for how someone would say “death”. There’ll be no more of that either he promised. “df” is also part of the mix. It shares with Danish “holde af” meaning love. It a hope for no more growing old or suffering.

Circling back, the Arabic word “sd” would look like this if an a were added to it: ساد. It means “he prevailed” or “conquered”.

Tygksdf | ت ي غ ك س د ف

So, all at once, at least in my noggin, she’s saying “Thank you God, King Jesus prevailed over death. And then proceeds to rock my freaking world with the rest of the banger that is “Bahm Bahm”.

And I realize you could make a jest out of it. You can belittle anything. But I don’t think she’s doing that here. What would be the point of subliminal expressions of loyalty to an ideology so vastly separate from what folks imagine the pop music industry must be like.

Idk, lot of creative musicians; they gotta be thankful to someone. Might as well be him.

Baryaon SU(6)

Baryon Conservation : E Q T I

In honor of my newly minted internet friendship with @bugsthebro on TikTok I related his handle to a particle physics concept: The empirical law of Baryon Conservation states that the total number of baryons must remain constant. If any baryons are created, then so must be an equal number of antibaryons.

Not to mention the SU(6) symmetry spin flavour of the baryon particle mirrors his name pretty well. In the characters that resemble our Latin Script that is.
