Finished!

A lazy summer day by a stream~

I finally put my illustration degree into good use and made a proper traditional illustration (although still fanart 😅). Sometimes I really wanted to just "undo" some strokes or move some things around haha but man was this relaxing and satisfying to work on, also I am just so proud of the outcome. I haven't done a proper traditional illustration on this scale since my thesis so it's been a few years.

I took these photos with a phone outside to try and really capture the colors and details.

.| Farid “Rook” Thorne | Saboteur | Rogue | Tool Maker |.

.Farid went by the given nickname of Rookie from the first day of his Warden conscription, one which all others outgrew, and he did not, instead shortening it to Rook when the novelty ran out.

.As the eleventh son of Admiral Therasia Thorne of the Sea Ships, Farid was given captaincy at the young age of fourteen, having proven a keen tactical mind and an adventurous heart. He co-captained a small selection of frigates with his older brother Galo, which served as an arm of their mother’s fleet. Their purpose was to raid mercantile ships along the eastern coast of Thedas, and it was Farid who took the initiative to lead them into bell diving and tomb delving; there was treasure waiting in places others couldn’t get to, and Farid was apt at figuring out how he could.

.This forward thinking would be the seed of a constant one-up-man-ship between the siblings, with Farid enjoying the competition and Galo becoming more and more irritated with his much younger brother. Eventually it would accumulate into Farid stealing Galo’s most precious treasure; his wife Aadiyah. A three month affair led to the birth of Farsi’s sixth illegitimate child, and years later his own arrest at the hand of Galo’s schemes.

.Survived by his now nine bastard children, Farid was set upon the gallows in Amaranthine. His list of crimes ever grew into him taking the blame for many of Galo’s own activities alongside his own, and his reputation as a warmongering raider was tied around his neck as much as his noose. It would only be good fortune that he was conscripted by a man he had helped some years before, the Warden Commander looking to flee the grasping hands of the Inquisition as it formed in its early months.

.It would be at his Joining where he decided to keep his past to himself, denying all others the attempt to know his name should word somehow reach the ears of his family. He remains as a Junior Warden, despite serving in the order for several years, due to his insubordination and reputation for acting against direct orders.

it's so pleasing to see people who are related looking similar. like when you see a parent and their child is a tiny version of them. or when a group of cousins have the same nose. or when someone looks the same as their grandparent did when they were young. genetics. wondrous

even though i could talk for hours and hours about this, i'm going to try and stop now bc i'm too paranoid about annoying people lol. here are a last batch of silly screenshots from the play/behind the scenes!!! <3

^ the repeat and graduate buttons at the end, aaaa i love how in the play they put their hands on the same buttons rather than the individual ones in the game. hajime puts both hands on top of his friends' after this btw

^ komahina behind the scenes! middle one they aren't in costume (obviously, idk why i'm pointing that out lol) they are so SILLY! gundham's actor was filming all of this

^ soudam in the first one then kaz and hajime and chiaki AAAA i love them all. SCREAMING

^ they look SO CONFUSED lol this was in trial 2, talking about the beach house shower room window

and last but certainly not least.....

GRAB HIM BY THE AHOGE!!!!!!

if you've tolerated all of the videos i've posted today then thank you!! like i said i'm worried about annoying people but if anyone wants to hear more then please message me bc i can talk talk talk forever! this has been so much fun to watch, definitely gonna rewatch some time :) <3

Sparkstember Day 18: Balls (Bullet Train)

Sometimes (oftentimes) it's true that all you need are Balls. I personally absolutely love Balls. I'm a big fan! Ekhem. Today I'm using the help of (I mean, copying most of the passages from it) my earlier Balls rant that I have written down after my first listen of it back in January. I really love this album and I don't want to completely skip over saying a couple words on it at least but I really don't think I have the headspace to write anything very good for it today. I'll still try though!

So yeah, Balls. It's a great album, fun and chill (in my sense of what I call and consider chill anyway), consistent, as Sparks albums tend to be, and as I suspected / hoped it does fit this specific vibe of driving around at night somewhere city-like and illuminated. Or being on a train deep at night and looking at the world zooming by (if you'd even see much of it on a train at night anyway.....). And I do think that it's not so dissimilar to Gratsax (I'd say now that it's definitely darker and moodier than its predecessor...). So it's interesting to think about how it's considered to be one of the "weak" ones (by music reviewers at least) while Gratsax is so beloved in comparision.

I will admit, I don't really know what the big problem with this album could be. As I said, it's fun, it has the melodies, it has the energy, it has the theatricality (I like seeing how more and more orchestral instruments such as strings are being incorporated into the music, in a way the jump into Lil' Beethoven two years later doesn't come of as THAT much of a shock because of this. The evolution of sound here is fascinating!) I really like the intense beats, just as much as the more laid-back and moodier pieces. And there's lots of gold to be found in the lyrics department as always.

One more thing I wanna say is that at some point I wondered if this music sounds older than it is. Maybe it does? But then I remembered that this was 2000 and honestly when I think about it, there just IS something about this album that fits so well with the Y2K image and vibe and all. Sparks 2000 and all that.

Favourite songs (and other highlights):

Balls: I mean. It's Balls.

Scheherazade: absolutely LOVE this one and I had the strangest impression of it sounding very familiar when I first heard it. Months later I found out that it was just briefly featured in TSB so I think that explains it (I will talk more about my TSB viewings on TSB day. EVERYTHING has to be explained in excruciating detail, lmao)

The Calm Before The Storm: bugsonas 4ever. Song itself is amazing too

How To Get Your Ass Kicked: how can a song about getting your ass kicked be so pleasant and relaxing, it always keeps cracking me up, how perfect that is actually

Bullet Train: I love it how introducing the topic of the song with a "It's the [topic of the song]" is a reoccurring theme on this album. Thank you Sparks for this ode to technology and art (these lyrics always have me giggling). And also it just goes hard as heck

It's Educational: a perfect fusion of / sequel to I Thought I Told You To Wait In The Car and Progress (it's mostly the vocal delivery that reminds me of the latter)

The Angels: such an odd one here but I still like it a lot, I apparently said that it sounds "surprisingly mainstream for Sparks but somehow in a positive way". It's very sweet and I absolutely love how Russell sings here, it's so different from what we're used to but that only makes it hit you even more in the feels, lol. And I actually prefer the alternative version of this song that's featured as a bonus track, and I do think that's in big part because you can hear Russell better on it (or that was my first impression of it at least and it kind of stuck)

The old-heads hated my vibe at the other night’s Gojira and Korn show. I know damn well I slayed though so I’m showing off idc. And the Gojira members were hype af at how hard we went on our fits soooo *shrug* (Meeting them was amazing, their show was amazing, I love Gojira so so so much.)
