you know it is hard to not feel for caterina a little in my worldstate. she loses sight of lucanis for a couple of months while her other grandson has her in jail for grandmother time-out, and by the time she sees him again he is in full undying devotion mode for the guy she sent to get him back. her grandson finally brought someone home, and it's a fairly low-level elven mortalitasi whose family background is 'idk we found this baby in a crypt and liked their vibes' who will not be giving her any biological grandchildren. not even one of the politically well-connected scheming mortalitasi, which could at least have been useful (nevarra is a bustling market for the crows! twenty contracts on the king alone and still going strong! still a payday baby let the good times roll!), but one of the dutybound earnest little freaks they keep down in the necropolis to wrangle skeletons and write esoteric papers and who frankly don't care that much about murder b/c death comes to us all in its own time anyway trust us on this one. lucanis looks at him like he hung the moon, the sun, every celestial object and glittering star in the sky, like he's the only real thing in the world. and in caterina vision she sees this weird little slip of a goth mage guy wearing too much kohl who cracks jokes at strange times and is so hard to read but also gives her the unmistakable flinty 'I'll try to keep this civil if you do the same. If.' eye contact over lucanis' shoulder sometimes, with the utter grave calm that only someone who's a speaker to the dead (and the dead are savage) and who has killed several gods and wouldn't back down from second deicide if necessary could bring to bear. she sucks and deserves this and more but she also does have a whole Situation on her hands here
(I love that rye's relationship to lucanis' family is basically 'I met some of the most insufferable people. but, they also met me'. he tangoed with the god of lies and betrayal so he could waltz his way through a dellamorte family dinner relatively unscathed)
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#caterina dellamorte#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#rook x lucanis#rookanis#(I like to think there is also a corner of her heart that goes 'oh.' as she realizes she's never seen lucanis happy before. not like.#in a way I think would change her decision making at all --#she DID feed five children and six grandchildren to the fire for the first talon seat. maybe age has mellowed her out enough#that she'll at least take it into consideration. hope is every man's prerogative. probably not tho right. but I like to think#that the recognition at least is there and maybe even some gratitude even though lucanis' happiness VERY clearly#is not caterina's guiding principle in any way shape or form. also do you *really* want to make an enemy of the veilguard#with their eluvian network and godslaying swag. I'm guessing she'll find ways to justify letting this one go#and play the hand she's been dealt here as best she can lol. you lose perfect control of your demon of a grandson#but hey we could expand the business into the fade itself if we play this one right. swings and roundabouts in this life.#you lose some two generations of family. you win new business opportunities. the hereditary house dellamorte grindset)

blood dripped from Poseidon's mouth, red.
red.
the day they overthrew Kronos, child-eater (stomach acid crawling around them, after maw of teeth grazing his small, child body), his golden ichor bled red.
god blood, degraded into a mortal's.
the day Typhon, father of monsters (as big as their father was, as big as the Titans with sharp claws and teeth) ripped out Zeus' tendons, his blood was red.
Poseidon, god of the tides, son of Kronos, looked up at the dark shape stood above him, his own golden trident in his hand, the teeth like prongs drenched in red.
Odysseus is a mortal. was a human.
sharp webbed ears spread out on the side of their head, scales grew around their neck and arms, shining like a coral reef, illuminated by their growing red eyes, that were shrunken to slits.
Odysseus' teeth glinted in the lightning, showing their unnaturally sharp point.
monster.
#small snippet that i can't develop any further.#this is uh#Ithacan Naga AU#didn't mean to talk about Poseidon's probable trauma with Kronos but here we are. do you think particularly salty or poisoned water reminds#poseidon of stomach acid? do you think the original five olympians are closer knit with each other#from being eaten alive as a child and then growing up in a stomach?#do you think hestia is the goddess of family cause she was the oldest sister and had to care for the others the most? that hades find an un#ealthy comfort in the darkness of the underworld?

ON AVERAGE HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DRAW / RENDER YOUR ART BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU PRODUCE MASTERPIECES LIKE HOTCAKES AND I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU
ermmmmm it depends !!!! maybe like an hour or two from start to finish if its just a simple drawin' but if it's something fully rendered or im making multiple drawings/a character doodle page maybeeeeee like five-six hours.... idk ....
#snap chats#it varies severely#i severely underestimate how long it takes me to draw things so when i think of it im like 'surely not...' so who knows vjEALKJEALJ#like if its just one figure and no crazy bg then maybe an hour or two for a rendered thing#but this doesnt factor in the fact im very fickle and i have no idea what im doing 90% of the time so im always making changes jLAEKVJAKL#so yeah on average... probably five-six hours......#i honestly feel like i dont post all that much so pleasantly surprised to hear that- thank you my friend !!!#i do wanna try spending more time on pieces tho... i dont think the stuff i make is bad nono i like the stuff i make#but i feel like i can make it better if i let myself spend more time on it#i always have it in my head i have to finish something in one sitting or ill never finish it/go back to it#im very impatient i fear ... BUT im trying to break that !!!! i wanna improve cause sometimes i feel stagnant..#im sure i could make better stuff if i allow myself to spend more time on things even if it takes multiple days#i should bethinkin a sleepin tho ... oops !!!!! three hours of sleep HERE I COME

oh my god okay I’ve been working since 7:30am but MN, SD, and JW are all submitted for internal review!!! NF is ready to submit as soon as he gets home from school and does a final readthrough!!!! DN has decided to waive review lol godspeed to that poor kid but it means less work for me today yippee!!!! and I also had time to give the baby a bath which is his new favorite activity (furiously focused water-kicking time!!!!). I think now I will take a break from student work and take all the residents of this household out for a brisk walk.
#I’m on a roll today so I might try to knock out EP’s five short essays too#maybe if the baby consents to nap once more (he’s been very obliging today)#I also just found out that one of my tutoring clients from another company wants to schedule 2x/wk sessions with me#for the foreseeable future#which is almost all the tutoring I’d need to do during the admissions offseason to make up my budget shortfall#tonight after the baby goes to bed I am going to sit down and calculate exactly how much $ I need to take six more weeks of leave#and then I will draft an email to let work know#thank you everyone for encouraging me to do it#even though I have to work a bit to make the unpaid leave work out#I still think it’s worth it to have the extra flexibility!!!#like I get to work in bursts while baby naps#and then hang out with him when he’s awake#and there’s no commute and no fixed hours

next up in my revamped kj designs: jet star!! 💫
she is so important to me… the space puppy tattoo is partially because of @eggbagelz’ headcanon which i saw and thought “oh definitely jet would LOVE laika” and the design is (with permission) one of my lovely friend @andpierres’ tattoo flash designs and tattoo tickets are available on his kofi if YOU would like to have a space puppy tattoo on your own skin! :)
as with the last two posts, untextured version under the cut for cleaner details and accurate colors!
#danger days#jet star#ttlotfk#killjoys california#jetty jetty jetty#jet has the most updated design technically because i went from headcanoning them as transmasc to transfem!#i have birthday and therefore astrology hcs for ALL the fab four btw if you’re interested#ghoul also has his sign’s constellation tattooed on him i think maybe jet and ghoul got those done to be loosely matching :) family#THANK YOU NICO FOR LETTING ME USE YOUR DESIGN!!#felt appropriate for jet not only because of the space theming but also because i know you like jet a lot :) and i like how you draw them#so. i kind of associate jet with you#and again: no jacket because i wanted y’all to see her tatts but unlike kobra’s jacket#i would probably make at least a FEW tweaks jet’s jacket makes the least sense to me. leather AND denim? i THINK? and there’s a weird symbol#on it? and an epaulette? idk man it’s interesting but i would probably do it differently#god fucking damn it the gun is a little too short probably. to make sense from a top angle. OH WELL. i’m not going back and changing that#too much work#also i spent literally five or six hours just on her hair please clap#if i’ve said anything about jet’s tattoos in the past ignore that i don’t remember any of what i said if that’s the case#NEW hcs now.

"I don't think I have anymore hard nos" EXCUSE ME MR. O'BRIEN CAN WE TAKE THAT BACK A SECOND
#silver sending stones#cr 3 e 60#im going to cry#orym of the air ashari#i was talking to a friend about orym and how hes just a good dude. and how he just. was living his life. loving hus husband. protecting his#leader. he was just. happy. and then his whole life was taken from him. his husband his father his sense if safety at home. all gone in a#moment. and he wandered for a bit. and he mourned. he mourned for six years. because how do you go on living when your future was torn from#you?#and then he met these people. all five of them so different from anyone he ever met before. even the impressive people in high places. these#new people they... they have a moment to them. they have a path and a destiny. and maybe thats what orym needed. a direction. a wind to ride#it was only after them that it seemed his own destiny called him. if he could call it that. hed hate to think that his deatiny included his#husband having to die. a start of his distaste for destiny.#idk... orym and i seem to think about that moment where he put a sword to Dorian's chest every day.#i dont think exu orym would recognize modern day orym#and idk how orym feels about that#anyone can justify anything with “i did what had to be done”#i wonder...#okay tags longer than the post again bye

#tag talk#social anxiety is so much worse to deal with when only half of you is anxious because you never know when it'll happen#like. R is not anxious at all. she loves being around people and since we came out she's not scared anymore#but me on the other hand? being around people is a nightmare. agoraphobic for sure.#I wanted to go running again cause we woke up at six again. but the thought of going outside and being perceived? terrifying.#maybe I need to practice getting R to front. we're used to thinking of L as the defensive front but if R's sociability is the best strategy#then she would be the strongest front to present.#the problem is I've tried that and it just results in me feeling even more sullen and anxious because I feel dragged into things then.#because going out on public even with friends still makes me feel anxious and angry and generally annoyed.#ugh I'm so tired of being unpredictably two different people.#if I were just L all the time I could embrace that and find workarounds to these issues. but they hit me so unpredictably#so I don't have the reliability to trust. so my strategy is usually just 'wait until you change into someone without those problems'#because whatever issue I have can usually be fixed by the other half of me.#scared of upsetting people? turn into L. scared of socializing? turn into R. scared of doing tasks? turn into L.#it's also wild because when we're L we shift into a morning person. and R is definitely a night owl#so waking up at five am to go out and read a book on the couch is so great as L but staying up all night reading is R's sweet spot.#idk. I'm so tired of bouncing so much between these two people#and I'm beginning to suspect that we have different food preferences as well. which is.. frustrating#I wish it were as easy as going 'oh duh I'm making this up in my own head' and just stopping#like. yeah it's all in my head unfortunately that's where my sense of identity is too.

just realizing that all the confusion about signing me up to do the AP eng exam probably has to do with the fact that i'm the only one in my high school who has ever wanted to write the AP eng exam LMAOOOO
#first year high school there were maybe 10 people who went to orientation#then five or six people actually showed up to the actual seminars#by second year there was only me and one other student#now i think i'm the only one left 😭😭😭#the reason why AP eng isn't popular is because the school used to push more for a class taught by the uni across the street#but that got cancelled this year and i guess i'm the only humanities freak in the entire school so :p#valiant posting

the number 3 is yellow
#seven is green. two might be blue just bc of the rhyme im not sure#zero is white#just remembered yellow is 3rd on the rainbow i bet thats why#four is purple i think. five might be orange. 8 is pink/purple. or red?#probabaly a pink leaning purple. or a slightly purple pink idk. its a pink leaning color but its got some blue going on evidently#six is green again maybe? a lighter green i think? seven is a pretty straight ahead kelly green type green#six is a less straightforward one it probably has some blue in it? or maybe its more lime leaning#i dont think its one of the solidly blue-green colors like teal aqua cyan etc. its definitely Green#one literally has like No vibes its not clear or black or white it just doesnt have a color attached to it for me#nine is a dark color. cool colors tend to look darker to people so im leaning that way#maybe a purple toned black

me talking about how in midnight motorist it never confirms the person William first talks to is his wife and VERY WELL COULD have been Vanessa or an eldest daughter. and how the books DO mention Henry has at least one son (he's just never mentioned ever again):
#fnaf#next movie should be about Michael AFTON instead of mike schmidt who i think is actually henrys kid#although#DEEPLY funny if it is ceuase that means they both had kids named fucking Michael#it would also basically make vanessa and mike cousins#because u know for those first few years they were definitely uncle henry and uncle will#maybe they'll rename Michael afton entirly#still think abby might die in the next one#ur not out of the woods yet mike#unfortunately ur dads left behind the most fucked legacy ever of all time#theory for the trilogy#the next one is going to be horror nights and will star the aftons#mixed with sister location visa vie lore#final will be pizza simulator#and itll have mike and mike team up to finally end this familys fucked up drama#legit the entirey of fnaf is basically one fucked up family cant stop causing drwma#family drama so intese five are missing and six are dead

“She was a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon for several years alongside Anne Boleyn, so she would've witnessed the way Anne held Henry off for so long by pleading her virginity. She watched, and she learned. There is a famous tale of how Jane was picking out items for her wedding to the king, while Anne awaited her execution in the Tower. If true, it would show sprinklings of a cold heart. [...] I wonder if Jane was reminiscing over these events, as she was dying of child-bed fever, and if so, what her thoughts on them were. Did she pray for forgiveness for the part she played? I like to believe that she did, given how spiritual she was known to be.”
abfiles comments writing fanfic fantasising about jane seymour in moments of terrible duress!
#very normal !#ab fandom#this is just an excuse to be hateful to a woman. a stubborn refusal to examine your internalised misogyny.#whitewashing anne as some kind of anachronistic fictional heroine#doesn’t diminish the misogyny of wishing suffering on her female peers#in fact: it further exemplifies it by dehumanising anne as a white feminist prop.#i don’t need to repeat how the ‘not like other girls’ (about 500yo dead women) is rancid. and i won’t.#i think you are very stupid and wilfully sexist if you believe in it#& i think you are too lazy and vacuous to apply any deeper examination of either history or yourself.#the truth is that we know next to nothing about jane’s situation in the first five months of 1536#everything we do know is merely second or third hand speculation about her#and we know nothing at all about her prior to that.#to draw such conclusions is to readily assume the worst about a woman who we have no reason to#maybe she was ideologically for the execution of six people…#maybe she was an active participant using whatever agency she had…#but maybe she wasn’t.#in any case her own horrible death isn’t fair game or some kind of karmic justice#and the lack of empathy for something that has killed countless women is simply repugnant#these were real women and both deserved to live full lives.

trying to find a balance between "module that's easy to understand and follow bc i am terrified of DMing and might cry" and "module that's not boring af especcially in the first adventure bc that might be as far as i manage to get through before losing my mind and i at least want my forever DM to have fun as a player for once" is killing me lmao
#apiewofoaiwjefaoijfew#i REALLY do not think she will find the beginning of waterdeep dragon heist compelling unless i make changes but like aoeifja#i'm so overwhelmed by the idea of making changes#i just want something i can follow from start to finish so i can MAYBE learn that DMing isn't as terrifying as i think it is 😭😭#trying to desperately not to talk myself out of this lmao#uuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#she also suggested the lost mines module bc it's meant for newbies but i'm just like OIFJAEOWIFAOWIJEF#she doesn't even really use goblins in her own games she's not going to find this beginning part interesting at all 😭😭#and i'm so nervous about any other modules bc it's just going to be her playing + an npc i'm controlling who is a fighter but like aofeijao#they still might get crushed even if i have her start at like level 3 for a level 1 adventure. i have no idea how any of this works anymore#idk OIFJAOEWIFAE the last time i tried to run stuff it was all homebrew and i was so fucking bad at it#i feel like everything i did made everyone miserable lmao#any time i tried to like just go w the flow it didn't work#esp bc i get so anxious about it aofiejaoijfwe#i am so not cut out for this but my wife literally never gets an opportunity to play and she has DM'd me almost every single day for like#five to six years now faoewijfaoiwjef she deserves a chance to play and has been really sad about not having one in the past#so i have to try at least#*dykeposting
