Governor Abbott's Prayer Breakfast

In Monday morning’s early hours, amidst the camaraderie of fellow Texans, my heart swelled with gratitude as we attended Governor Greg Abbott’s Prayer Breakfast for the second consecutive year. Surrounded by 690 fervent souls, we gathered to honor our state, our leader, and the profound impact of prayer in our lives. Governor Abbott, a beacon of strength and resilience, shared his deeply held…

the day the earth stood still is the day i felt your presence leave it, and then every day after that.

#tw grief #sigh sigh sigh.#apologies in advance as this is not the happiest yap ! i would just like to write out some of my feelings on this day #the heaviest heart weighs under an insurmountable amount of grief — the ghost of love #days like today are a twisted reminder that has every emotion flooding through your soul #longing . guilt . anger . an indescribable melancholy that could only be consoled through the sands of time #a year ago i lost my best guy friend and it’s never really gotten easier . but ive heard it never does #all i can do is bundle up the love i have for him and search for him in the clouds that take up the sky #the circumstances around his passing will never not haunt me and rather than go into it all i’d like to say is this #if you have a loved one or a relationship or a friendship you cherish .. then never ever stop fighting for it - for them.#as time never really seems to be on our side #each day i’ll live as he intended . to greet the world with kindness and a smile and passion for positivity #in his wisest words (or rather after every phone call we’d have hehe) i’ll try my best to stay awesome & encourage you all to do so as well #if you’ve read this then i’m taking your hand and thanking you #it didn’t feel right not acknowledging him at all on this blog . he’s the one that introduced me to anime + more importantly : one piece #i wish i could talk to him about it all so he could see how far down this rabbit hole i fell just as he had done #will be spending the day enjoying his favorite episodes and being gentle with the world that surrounds us #this is not like my usual yaps & i feel vulnerable posting it but i wanted to carve out a space for him on this blog #forever missing the connie to my sasha . maybe in another universe we’ll get it right #have a wonderful sunday my sweet friendz and if you can — hug your loved ones & blow a kiss up to the sky 🤍💫#thank you for being here & helping me make this a safe place .#₊˚⊹ ᰔ xoxo aims

Commissions!

-

The Process ✨

#rambles alert #this year has not been a productive year for me as an artist tbh #normally no matter the circumstances I create at least about one hundred pieces a year #but now as it’s closer and closer to the end of the year it’s not even reached fifty yet #which worries me a little #but honestly i feel every piece I’ve made this year is all quite out of my comfort zone so that might explain the unproductivity #for instance the first pic. I’ve never drawn anything as big scaled as this is #it’s like SUPER CHALLENGING and eventually took me 44 hours to make which is also the longest working hours for me on one piece #but that’s the good thing about doing commissions i guess #it never ceases to give you new challenges and I’m always thankful to everyone who gives me the chance to try new things #learned a lot from all of these!!#ok I hope you enjoy my artist’s ted talk haha ;)#commission art #commission #dnd art #dnd campaign #artists on tumblr #art commisions #comms #hikaru commission #digital art #art #hikaruchen #wonka #edit: found my first ever sketch for the first pic which shows me doing sketches can sometimes be a total mess lmao

I need to be weirder about the scavengers and cannibalism...

#its been a long day... but im feeling better now. (thanks for the well wishes and such btw <3-)#(-sending my well wishes in return by tenfold bcs. damn. it seems stuff is really going around rn)#but yeah... just. augh. theres just smth about how the scavs sorta translate into more like. thriller-esque genres pretty well?#like. i feel somehow those themes compliment their characteristics? or could compliment their characteristics in a more rounded out way #sure. theyre generally a light hearted romp of absurdity with occasional themes of a not good not bad handling of 'mental health matters'#but they just really shine a bit in horrific circumstances. esp with the sort of absurdity they bring to the table #theyre odd people. even in the context of their generally weird and alien universe. and that right there feels like a trove of potential #its like. ok. the lost light crew? also odd. but thats a huge ship. full of people and variety and a sense of purpose and normalcy post-war #(normalcy being. whatever all those background folks were getting up too while plot happened around them. cruise ship stuff ig)#but in contrast. with the w.a.p crew. its an ark class ship with like. a handful of people. and a whole lot of junk and free time #both just cruising through space endlessly for years. one with hundreds of people. and one with like 6 people.#so both are technically isolated when theyre not making pit-stops planet or station side. but again. 100s vs 6 dudes.#think. top of the line cruise ship from hell with a small town sized populace vs a big shitty boat and 6 starving guys #both have the capacity to become case studies in madness. both could do really well thriller wise. but the scavs being a smaller group?#it only being the 6 of them emphasis the isolation perhaps. less variety. less change. same 6 people for 5(?) years #things could get weird fast. codependent mentalities. us vs them mindsets. an otherness about everyone else outside of their group #and then! then you add to the mix the fact that theyre eating/drinking from corpses?! *chefs kiss* awesome. love it.#non-stationary isolation + cannibalism. ough. perfect mix. a classic of maritime horror but in space! :D!#a big ship. small crew. living while knowing that as soon as you kick the bucket. your body is the meal. your body is the fuel.#no decorum about it. no faith. no belief. just perverse survival. bcs they might enjoy it. a bloody gluttony. with a bite. a sample. a taste #it takes seeing your buddy as a walking talking burger to another level. bcs every corpse you come across is also a burger. and a gas can #also fulcrum making candy out of corpses is so. particularly perfect when it comes to the horrifically absurd. just. smth about it. idk #but also also. the line. where was the line drawn for each of them? and when did they each cross it?#most of them dont seem like the type to jump head first into that. so how did they justify it to themselves? had they done it before?#and then. when did it become normal? a habit? smth enjoyable?#i might be running out of tags. but yeah. them being weirder. esp about each other and others.#nothing brings a group of people together like the overhanging knowledge that you sort of kinda wanna eat each other #(rlly wishing i could stomach realistic thrillers rn. but i just cant. gotta stick to written or artistic styles or risk panic attacks :/)#(ive tried a couple movies and shows now. and cant get through most of them. praise be synopses and peoples long rambles about them tho :D)#(nothing like reading someones passionate ramble about the meaning/symbolism of some gory nightmare without having to actually see it lol)

Brief re-enactment of me earlier this week

me: *very unnassumingly posting something small I made, casually thrown together, on my phone. It's kinda mediocre imo*

Me, the next day: "I'm kinda bored. Let's open Tumblr."

*opens up the 99+ notifs to figure out what the heck happened*

Okay WHAT?

Apparently I got reblogged by contact-guy??? Okay, wow, that's awesome ^_^. Guess I'm just that lucky ey-

@the-nerdy-autist YOU BASTARD!!!!!

(I don't actually hate you, promise. This was, and continues to be, a confusing, shocking and delightful experience)

#Scared the living daylights out of me T_T #Happy to see it resonates with so many people tho #And also a bit concerned #Although it makes perfect sense in the current circumstances #keep holding on #♡#It's a week later and I'm still getting notes every couple of hours #Btw I'm not kidding about not thinking much of that post #It's really doing something for my self-este to see something casual get so much love #I needed that #So thank you

characters that make sense to be living in wayne manor without much if any explanation: bruce, alfred, damian, tim, cass

#so so often im reading fic n going like 'STEPH? are you insane'#bruce & alfred: yeah. self explanatory #dick: would but only under circumstances where he Has To for someone else's sake #jason: grown ass man who fights his foster dad every chance he gets #which could also be a description of dick during certain times but i digress #tim: he'd try very hard not to but i can technically imagine him ending up there without a mission related reason so he makes the cut #steph: she has a whole ass mom. disrespectful to her to pretend steph would rather live w bruce tbh #damian: yes but he'd complain about it. at least it has enough room for his personal petting zoo.#cass: enigma. she can do whatever idc enough to figure her out.#she bores me still ngl #the closest i ever got to caring about cass was when i was reading rumors about a scrapped catholic arc for her lol #duke: another where im pretty sure he ends up having relatives that he can go to and having him live w bruce instead feels odd #but also im a new earth bitch not a prime one so idk what his life is like #honorable mention: babs: are you insane. grown ass woman. only semi-recently has been deaged to hell and i do not respect that call from DC #unless she and bruce are married there is no reason for her to be there lmao #i say honorable mention bc that ones rare as hell. thank god.

the fact that this student went looking for me specifically to ask for advice and the fact that other first year students stopped to listen to me and thanked me for encouraging them instead of downplaying their importance...

#letters from stephanie*#they kept saying thank you and the one that initiated it even hugged me but all of it made me feel sad #like why the fuck is it like this... it takes so much sacrifice to even attend these classes #and the fact that feeling unworthy of being there is a common sentiment upsets me on every level imaginable #blah blah blah that's life. i get it. it sucks that it's this way.#privilege gets you here but the difference is that this privilege has to be fought for in varying degrees #depending on your circumstances. but whoever you are. you're here. it matters.#the very condition of being here is worth something #i am sending this as a message in a broader sense #it's not about being Special. you don't have to be Special to make it. you just can't let the voices get to you #you need to push through as yourself. that's it. there is no hidden miracle talent you need to possess. i believe in you.

Hi! What are the powers of each ro? what makes them "special" and mc?

I won't give a super detailed explanation since Rhea already went into all of it in Chapter 1 but a quick recap: You're either born with magic or you aren't.

If you are, you're a magician. There's three types; Soul magicians (magic comes from intentions/morals/beliefs, considered the most powerful, magic can have harmful effects on their body), Heart magicians (magic comes from emotions, less powerful, magic can visibly be seen in use), and Luck magicians (have magic in their veins but can't use it, since they still have magic the world seems to like them and 'lucky' things happen to them, hence the term).

BA has a pretty soft magic system, so you can theoretically do w/e you want with magic with certain limits. Soul magicians can't use magic at all if it goes against their beliefs + it can hurt their bodies. Heart magicians magic is as powerful as the emotions they're currently feeling. Heart magicians are also the only ones compatible with Death Creatures (ghosts, wraiths, poltergeists, etc), although that's pretty rare and no one knows why. With all that said:

Soul Magicians: Rook and Rhea

Heart Magicians: Beck and Lars

Luck Magician: Zoe

Not a magician: ??? and MC

Beck and Lars are both special because their magic is compatible with Death, but they're still Heart Magicians and so their magic is seen as weaker. Rook's magic...isn't strong, and Rhea's magic is average. ??? isn't a magician and can't use magic at all. What MC can do is up to you since there are a few options. You can find a magic item to use (making you a mage), you can get into necromancy, or you can pick the terrible decision to make a deal with something to use magic (making you a warlock). You can also not do any of that and remain without magic/death abilities. Each decision has their own unique consequences.

It should also be noted Death and Magic are opposites of each other, so necromancy isn't considered magic in this world. If anything, it's just blasphemy lol

#em answers #BA: structure #BA: lore #tbh outside Lars and Beck's death skills no one here is special lol #and even then they're still Heart Magicians so their magic is still seen as weaker #Rook is just as fucking lost as MC is when it comes to all the wraith stuff asjkfals Zoe can't use magic at all #Rhea is well received because of her father and not her magic and ??? would have been just Some Guy(gn) if it wasn't for All That #this isn't an Extraordinary People story it's just #average people who were forced into Extraordinary(ly bad) circumstances #like yeah to MC they all probably seem that way because holy shit magic real???#but in regards to magician society as a whole? yeah the ROs aren't noteworthy #anyway I didn't think I'd rant so much on this topic thanks for tuning in #every time I can touch on world building I just Keep Going asfkjla

#Doodles #Helix #Max Vyer #Dexter Favin #Vent #I'm trying to remember the last time I made a fandom vent rather than my sona.... Probably Vargas-something #*continues to project onto Max* He really is just like me fr #Probably pretty obvious what this is in reference to - turned a bit more malicious and intentional here #Something something it's easier to be angry at a source of intention than to be sad about coincidental bad luck #I'm not about to be thankful for a bad thing happening but the fallout thereof Is interesting in its own right #Like how this probably wouldn't have crossed my mind elsewise - nor would I have started and finished it all in one big sprint #Not much else I could do except get some of the feelings Out #Ft. some of the thoughts I had - self arguments to try to minimize(?) the hurt #Especially of just recreating it since so much of it was my thoughts - Max's dreams are just his subconscious right?

I believe that AFO could be still telling his own story from a external pov because even in current times he sees his own actions from a third pov, like it was all a part of a comic book

And it could also be that he internalised prejudiced views on quirk users because the period of time where he was born was really ruthless for quirk users 🤷

Yknow what, that would make sense and is more interesting than anything I thought was going on with the narration. The idea that AFO is the narrator talking about himself like a comic book villain is so compelling, I love it. Also fits in with the pattern of villains talking/showing us their own experiences and backstories, just in a different way

And yeah, now that I think about it, the prejudiced view thing sounds like something he would have. With the way he's lived, how could he not internalize the way the world has behaved towards him from day one? It fits for how he seems to view the world and himself

#he is both the comic book villain and the narrator in his own backstory portraying himself AS a villain #instead of a child who had no control over his birth his circumstances or the rapidly collapsing society that villainized his existence #as well as every other person with a quirk #i love that #the more i read about peoples takes on this chapter #the more im like 'ohhh this chapter is even better than i thought it was'#thank you for the ask!😊#asks with metty #bnha 407 #bnha manga spoilers #all for one #bnha asks

You bought a house at 25?? How.. (genuine question)(im so envious)

The short of it is im extraordinary lucky

In college i got in an accident that totaled my car (other guy was at fault, his insurance gave me enough to buy a nice used car without taking a loan out)

I was a Gifted KidTM so i got a really good scholarship (still literally gave myself hives trying to keep it but shhhhhhh its fine its fine) and the hospital i work at had a 1 year masters program which gave me a promotion at the low low cost of signing a contract to work for them for 3 years (they kind of underpay us but still no debt so evens out)

My parents were smart enough to teach me how to use a credit card at 18 so i could accumulate credit for -checks watch- 7 years which actually helped a lot

And finally i live in a state that has really cheap living expenses at the cost of The Hell but idk my cat needs more space to play and i dont have any other place to go so mortage here we go!!!

#shoutout to my realtor steve hes such a real one #asks #anonymous #im really aware of the amount of luck and privilege that went into it all #deadass thankful every day and i wish it wasnt a circumstance of luck #and college hives
