#that and i actually have to make the scene first haha

[zeropro]

ngl i havent the foggiest where the trine is from - what continuities are they in? (besides es but I'm talking about like originally??)

Haha, so, trine doesnt exist in any continuity, transformers fans made the concept up wholesale. I used to roll my eyes at it because of this but I've since come to cherish it as a concept no matter how non canon it is.

As far as I’m aware, since the dawn of time the Starscream toy has always been cast alongside a Thundercracker and Skywarp repaint to make use of the same toy mould, I can just imagine one collecting all three jet fighter planes and playing with them as a unit. The original cartoon included many scenes and shots, including one in the opening theme song, of the three of them occupying the same screentime, tho they had little love for each other even as comrads back then. IDW1’s megatron origins shows the three of them scouted to join the Decepticons together as a trio of seekers, and their similarity in design is explained as Starscream making the other two remodel their bodies to look like him so he could (allegedly) commit tax evasion?

I am new to the tf fandom so I don’t know how the trine concept actually started, I just know theres no one single continuity responsible for sparking the idea. Trines don’t exist in canon, but as seekers tend to show up in groups of three I can see how people latched on to the idea. I certainly have.

speaking of trine, i got my first trine set for christmas!

my beautiful boys in the flesh! metal? plastic XD

its my second starscream figure i got for christmas! the first one being this coronation starscream!

I also got myself a Crimson wings Starscream, but I havent opened that one yet. I’m quite satisfied :) happy holidays y’all!

Spadille!! 💭 what inspired you to create LDR?

(Hey Spike!! :D So sorry for taking forever to answer this...!!) To be honest, there are a bunch of different things that inspired me to make LDR!! Firstly, all the amazing creativity of the dca fandom inspired me to make my own AU. It just blows my mind to see all the wonderful art and writing created for our favourite celestial jesters every day! <3 Some AU:s that were especially influential to me that I would like to mention is @/venomous-qwille :s Ghost In the Machine AU and @/certified-handler :s Dealer's Choice AU.

I find Qwille's writing style incredibly painting and immersive, and it inspired me to get better at writing myself. I also really like the way they use music for some of their scenes! (that one scene where Misuta sings a line of Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams' hit especially different, and sent me down a rabbit hole of reconnecting with 80s synth music. I still haven't recovered over a year later haha <3 /lh )

And for Certi's writing, I cannot get over how good they are at writing scenes that just fill your heart with butterflies with how suave the dca are in their AU!! They're also really good at writing very tense, high-stakes scenes, and their AU has so many twists and turns that I always struggle to put the fic down <3 I really enjoy how the reader isn't sure who to trust out of Sun and Moon in their fic, which is something I wanted for LDR too :)

Besides the incredible works of the dca fandom, I also really like the aesthetics and nostalgia of the 80s and retro tech, which was something I wanted to include in my AU as well! I grew up with stuff like cassettes and VHS tapes (though not in the 80s), and reconnecting with that stuff felt... healing in a way I guess?

Speaking of 80s stuff, rollerskates have a special meaning to me as well. 

I grew up in a place where there are barely any places to rollerskate, but instead plenty of places to ice skate. It's cheap, and everyone knows how to. But I just suck at ice skating. I've tried to learn my entire life, and I still can barely stand on them.

When I was 15 though, I got to try rollerskating for the first time. There aren't any roller rinks where I grew up, but for PE class in high school, we could choose to rollerskate or play soccer. So I chose rollerskating, borrowed some knee pads and outdoor skates from a nearby YMCA, and for the first time I actually enjoyed skating. 

I still wasn't any good at it, but it was so much more fun than ice skating, and it felt like it was something that was much more... me than ice skating. I will always hold the memories of rollerskating around the lake, under the summer sun with my friends, close to my heart <3

And regarding what inspired the other, less sunny side of LDR... Maybe I'll talk about that some other time.

here’s a shorter clip from my impromptu AR art installation at the Museum of Dream Space ✨

since these works are entirely virtual and can only be seen by me, I’m free to take them wherever I want so long as recording is allowed! my ultimate goal is to create a neon & crystal scene inside an indoor pool at night. 👀

*rolls up 15 years late with Avatar the Last Airbender thoughts*

So I've been rewatching clips from the show lately to refresh my memory while I'm writing my Zuko Alone fanfic. And last night I rewatched the clip where Iroh teaches Zuko how to redirect lightning and I have had thoughts about this scene for years so I might as well finally throw them into the void of tumblr.

So, this scene is insane to me, because at the end of learning how he could-hypothetically- redirect lightning, Zuko looks at Iroh and, completely seriously says "okay I'm ready to try it with the real thing now". Like, Zuko, the boy with a massive scar on his face from where his father burned him just looks at his uncle and says, "shoot me with lightning".

And yes, he's 16 and not thinking but that's part of the point because the amount of blind, complete trust Zuko has in Iroh to look at him and say "shoot lightning at me" after the insane trauma he had at the hands of his own father- that is WILD to me. Zuko literally trusts Iroh so much that he just assumes, without even having to think about it, that no matter how volatile and unpredictable the lightning is, Iroh won't hurt him because Zuko cannot fathom his uncle hurting him.

And of course, Iroh's appalled because Zuko's standing there with a massive scar on his face from when his father misused firebending against him and likewise, Iroh cannot fathom hurting Zuko. And since IROH knows how volatile and unpredictable lightning is and how it could literally kill his son nephew he is absolutely NOT going to use it just to let Zuko practice redirecting lightning, but he's so flabbergasted that Zuko would even ask him that that he just kind of splutters angrily that he will ABSOLUTELY NOT shoot lightning at Zuko. (it's also just another layer of how messed up Ozai is because he shot lightning at Zuko without a second thought later)

But I hope Iroh thought about it later and realized the amount of pure, unthinking trust Zuko has in him because ;-; the child didn't even THINK about it. "Okay uncle shoot lightning at me now. I know I'll be safe because it's you." I love them so much 😭😭

[uranium-city]

guys i really hate to say it but Abe's kind of been the highlight of the last two episodes for me & feels most in character to his S1 counterpart when compared to the other main characters 😭

ALSO him & Joan had more genuine chemistry in the one hospital scene than JFK & Joan have had all season & as a member of the JoanFK nation i am frustrated

[deus-ex-mona]

goodxnight guys~~~

[sodafrog13]

the son makes me insane dude i gotta talk about him more some time

[attila-werther]

can I mod the templar option of dragon age inquisition to be more narratively satisfying. like, just lemme in there. I'll do it! just for me, pleaaaaaseeeee just let me in there. it's so stupid that this is the opening act. please we can make the world building and setting balanced and interesting come on come ON

[akechi-stole-my-heart]

wait, how does goro die in the anime?

Akechi is confronted by the cognition in a similar way, but the main difference is that Akechi kills the cognition with his first shot and then traps himself on the other side of the partition wall with a bunch of shadows. Then instead of just the two shots from himself and the cognition, for some godforsaken reason like a bazillion shots are fired, presumably from the shadows (stop! stop! he's already dead!) and Futaba says his signal is gone. So it's pretty similar but honestly just so much stupider in literally every way. Akechi being killed by Shido's cognition is the entire point and thematic endpoint to his arc, without it his death feels a lot more meaningless and random. Even ignoring how it doesn't make any sense plot-wise (why is there a need, however false of a pretense it might be, for Akechi to sacrifice himself/protect the Thieves from a horde of shadows? at least cognitive Akechi is an unknown and presumably incredibly dangerous threat so Akechi has some reason to trap himself and give the Thieves an escape route in the game), thematically it's incoherent. Akechi sealed his own fate. He isn't killed by random shadows, he's killed by the manifestation of his deceit and malice. Akechi allowed himself to become the corrupt puppet of an evil man and he's forced to face that truth and its consequences. It's deeply poetic and all of that meaning and nuance is lost for no fucking reason and I will die mad about it.

so like 2 days ago I finally read one of the comics I bought blind a while ago with comics that I was actually looking for.

anyway Rat Queens is just mid, if not below average. I wrote a rant/review about it but before i finished it I realised this title is just not worth it lmao

After I read it I only wanted to start reading Dungeon Meshi so I can read sth actually good tbh and maybe i’ll sit down to do it today kjhkjh

apparently sfm has decided fuck me, i am not allowed to move anything anymore

[neofelis----nebulosa]

watched the second full scene released from kfp 4 and it is significantly lowering my expectations

[koobiie]

bestowing my highest honor as an artist to ffxv (drawing the characters in fun outfits)

thoughts under the cut

RREAAAGHHHH SO EXCITED TO BE DONE WITH THIS!!!!! it took me forevarrrr but i soldiered through as an act of love. now excuse me. yap time

OKAY SO the concept behind this was originally specific fashion subcultures for everyone!l ike noct emo ignis dark academia etc. but then decided i didnt want to pigeonhole it all and just freestyled outfits i thought would look nice on everyone

noct - i do think noct would still be emo-ish but also opt for comfy baggy stuff a lot. something you could just fall asleep in on the spot. note the details of bass pro shop shirt (of course) XV necklace, little moon + stars accents, carbuncle + fish keychains. i also wanted his metal band logo shirt to spell LUCIS but i forgor some letters but its not very readable anyways

ignis - ignit ooohghh ignos ignaurs. sorry i made him serve so much cunt it will happen again. i drew him first cause that kind of inspired this whole thing i love him so bad if i didnt draw it id explode. not much detail to note except his collar pins are like his double blade thingies

luna - lunaaa the concept was “clean girl aesthetic” idk if that happened but im actually really happy with how it came out! might be my favorite of the bunch just because she looks so pretty and happy. your honor she should have been able to just be a normal girl and just. chill

prompto - prompotoooo i had trouble picking his vibe!!! my first thought was techwear?? because weeheeeehee he loves tech and well... you know... but then i realized i didnt really like the look of anything i saw + it was so bulky and dark and serious for him! ending up going with some more youthful and baggy. i was considering something more loud and colorful but ended up not going with it. i feel like in canon he'd be too nervous to have such a flashy fit and would want to just look "cool" to fit in with the boys lol. itty bitty details here - chocobo keychain, pompompurin and bi miku buttons, and his lanyard is kings knight themed! i also thought it was funny to write LUCIS on his shirt like you know those shirts that just say BROOKLYN or TOKYO or SAN FRANCISCO and thats it. thats what its like

gladio - okay i know this is going to sound like a lie but im not horny for gladio like at all, hes my least favorite, i think he's just alright. but also i KNOW in my heart of hearts that he would LOVE being a leather daddy and so i had to make it happen. main detail to note here is that his tank top has the motifs of a cup noodle! i didnt know what else to add cause you know.. hes the cup noodle guy.. but also i didnt want it to be so in your face about it with a big as logo so kept it subtle!

(side note the leather daddy gave me an idea for a post where its like noct and prom go to a gay bar all nervous but then they run into gladio and its like "p: GLADIO YOURE GAY?" "n: nevermind that PLEASE dont tell ignis we snuck out" and then ignis walks up and theyre all like WHAT THE FUCK!!!! caption would be "the gang finds out theyre all bisexual." probably wont draw it but i think its very funny lol)

iris - iris my sweetheart.... definitely leaned into the scene vibes here and also that one image of the blonde emo anime girl. details here - of course the moogle big ass backpack and keychain (can you tell i love keychains), but also her buttons are an iris (the flower) and also a crown with hearts (haha symbolism)

anyways oh god i didnt mean to write an essay down here. usually i keep this in the tags but this time i just had Too Much To Say. can you tell i put a lot of thought and love into this . anwyays. *walks off into the sunset and fuckig dies*
