@xaallo

Even with three decades under the belt, Valvossa had never fully acclimatized to the Curse. She had learned to work around it, but it was impossible to keep it under total control; such was the nature of the Beast. She was miles from civilization by the time the full moon hung high in the sky and miles more when the sun had begun its approach in the east.

She woke sometime during dawn, eyes hazy, hair a tangled, wild mess. She could see her breath in the morning air. Confusion only lingered for a moment; old hat at this that she was, she knew what to expect. Naked in the brush, her skin slick with blood but curiously free of wounds.

Valvossa inhaled sharply, pushing her sweat-and-blood-slicked hair back from her face, cradling the incline of her skull. Her head throbbed, worse than any hangover.

“N'chow, my head...”

I spent WAY too long rendering this.

#but damn if I’m not happy with how some elements turned out #mists at the bottom inspired by the Russian Translation illustrations #svsss #mxtx svsss #svsss fanart #scum villian self saving system #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #bingqiu #scum villain #a reminder that this is based off a John Singer Sargent painting #that was supposed to be a woman and her Great Dane #but the Great Dane was unavailable so the husband offered to stand in place of the dog #listen the vibes were right #go find the og painting and tell me I’m wrong

Malleus: "Very well. Come forward, those who wish to return to ash."

The camera turns back to Yuu and Grim. They're trapped! But suddenly, someone who isn't Grim makes a noise...

Grim: "I heard it too! Who was that?"

???: "Ugh, my entire body hurts..."

Lilia: "Does Malleus never get tired? Oh how hard it is to pacify a dragon..."

Lilia: "Oh? Where am I? But I was just at Castle Blackscale..?"

Grim happily greets him, but Lilia's still surprised.

Lilia: "I.. woke up. So this is reality?! Did Malleus lift his magic?"

Lilia: "... Anyway, what a terrible state this lounge is in! There's rubble everywhere and the walls and floors are covered in thorns!"

Suddenly he hears a large screech!

Lilia: "This voice... Malleus?"

Grim: "The NRC guys are fighting this huuuge dragon Malleus!"

Lilia: "Oh no. I must stop Malleus at once! Flames, burn these thorns away!"

BUT HE COULD'T. HIS FLAMES DIDN'T EVEN SPIT OUT A LICK.

Lilia: "..!!! That's right, I'm already... Damn it! But, I can't just give up like this!"

He grabs a candelabra and just starts hacking away at the thorns with it.

Lilia: "I may not be able to use magic, but I can still do this much!"

Yuu: "I'll help!"

Lilia: "I mustn't let him sin any more than this! If he does, then he'll reach a point of no return, just like what happened to Maleanor! I won't let that happen!"

#FATHEEEER #HE'S SO DESPERATE HACKING AWAY AT THE THORNS #A FATEHR'S TRUE LOVE #GOD DAMN IT #twisted wonderland #malleus draconia #ventique translates #lilia vanrouge #twst yuu #twst grim #twst book 7 spoilers

Started a new book series, and has been a journey...an Odyssey, if you will.

#poorly drawn odyssey #the odyssey #Athena #telemachus #penelope #odysseus #calypso #I also drew Phemius the bard and Antinous the leader of the suitors but I'll hold onto those for a while longer.#The Odyssey has been on my reading list for ages and I finally decided to just dive into the Robert Fagles translation.#*nobody* ever talks about how damn funny the Odyssey is. Oh my god. I have been howling.#The poor bard doomed to keep playing for this unending feast. The most unwilling court jester.#Penelope being introduced by her crying about how much she 'hates this song'.#And Telemachus is the goodest lad. The OG protag to set about on his heroes journey.#He is kind! He is soft! He yearns for adventure and finding out the truth! He wants to get back at his bullies!#He even gets a companion named Mentor. THE original mentor! Who is *totally* not a god by the way. Just a guy.#Not to mention how much Odysseus gets hyped up only for his first appearance to be him sobbing non-stop.#Honestly I was mostly motivated by the need to do research for a personal project but I've been having the best time.#I sincerely doubt my current audience has any overlap with classic Greek literature but expect a few more PD-Odyssey posts.#(Yes - I am familiar with Epic the Musical; this is not fanart of that adaptation).

“how would it work if Cybertronians had disabilities” “What if there were disabled Cybertronians”

THERE ARE

loosing my mind at how some things that are So good can be So niche why can’t we just be a hivemind

Just one example, my favorite example, is:

Shattered Glass Soundwave!!!

He’s gone through Multiple reformats varying between with his consent and,,, not. The latest of which took place when they didn’t have many materials

So they used half earth metals half Cybertronian ones

As it turns out? Those two things don’t mix very well. His joints are Horrible. They lock up randomly, the worst of which being the door to his tape deck.

He physically isn’t able to dock his cassettes reliably because they might get stuck in there.

What does he do to fix this? So glad you asked!! He has his own assistive aids, in this case: a portable external carrying case

It was made and personalized to work specifically for him and his situation

I love him

#SG soundwave #transformers #tf shattered glass #maccadam #soundwave #fun publications #Cybertronian.. biology? biology #cybertronian biology #been wanting to make this posts for Months but took ages trying to find the damn chracter sheet that actually delved into the details #I can’t have people disregarding my boy like this #obviously there’s a Wide variety of ways we all know mental health and disabilities can translate into transformers #but everyone acts like the PHYSICAL disabilities are something that don’t exist canonically #that we have to either invent ways for the rep to exist or that the rep shouldn’t exist at all #soundwave ISNT the only one either! he’s just my favorite!#Cybertronian disability

Sophus Helle, Gilgamesh — tablet X, line 55 Dead Boy Detectives (2024) — season 01, episode 07

#dead boy detectives #dbda #charles rowland #edwin payne #jayden revri #george rexstrew #dbdagifs #mygifs #myedits #dbdaedits #dbda and gilgamesh #once again i apologize to any babylonian sumerian or akkadian scholars in the fandom #i'm doing my utmost best #cross referencing like 3 different texts and 4 different dictionaries including ePSD #just to maybe get one cuneiform character right #and i'm less confident about this one than the last set that had cuneiform #anyway for those of you interested #the first gif has the word for “love”#which according to george (2003) was probably part of the word a-ram-mu-šú in line 55 #love being râmu #and as far as i can tell that's a pretty strong word for love that sounds pretty damn romantic #and then in the second gif #it's the word for “sick” but i'm pretty sure in this context it's the word translated as “danger” and means a bit more like “troubles”#which again thanks to george (2003) is probably part of the word mar-ṣa-a-ti in this line #and sick/troublesome/difficult is marṣu #anyway i did all this research at like 1:30am so it's probably deeply flawed but whatever #it's a gif for a tv show #it can have incorrect cuneiform and the only one who really cares is me

packing my winter stuff for the next project and i found the lyre i bought at a thrift store a few years back. considering taking it with me bc i'll definitely have free time for the next three weeks and i could probably teach myself the basics. i played viola badly in middle school, so i definitely still have muscle memory for string instruments from 15+ years ago that will carry me.

#m #like an hour a night would be good once i find some good videos #originally got it because i was like #damn i could practice this while practicing my translation skills with greek and latin lyric poetry #and then i didnt
