Five comfort characters, five tags...
Thanks for the tag, @sc11vb!
Starting a new thread 'cause that one was hella long.
Tiffany Aching, the marvelous young witch of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. The five books featuring Tiffany spell out what it means to be a witch to me, and I adore them and her to pieces.
Menolly, from Anne McCaffery's Harper Hall series and Pern. She was my first fantasy character love. I wanted to be her, be friends with her, talk about fire lizards and music and dragons.
Victoria Nelson, half blind detective and all around badass from Tanya Huff's Blood books. She was one of the first characters that I recognized as being amazing not 'despite' her disability, but in defiance of it.
Kaz Brekker, from Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology. There's so many thing I find fascinating and relatable in Kaz, from disability to trauma. He's sarcastic, strong willed, and fragile inside the armor.
Inej Ghafa, from Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology. Inej is amazing. Keeping her sense of self and her faith through the horrors she's been through. Being steadfast and loyal to her crew.
Soft tags for: @tinyarmedtrex, @intosnarkness, @kezzzx, @kazcreates, and @aphroditestummyrolls

#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

Obsessed with the way Brennan has encapsulated “No cost too great” in the character of Steel. She would lay down her life to win a battle and for the chance to see her daughter again. She would sacrifice that same daughter to a coven of witches for the chance at intel. She would put a spell on her daughter that could kill her and would take the Citadel flagship across the sea during wartime to make sure no one else could.
She is building the new world for her daughter. She would execute her daughter to maintain her position. She is building the new world for the next generation of wizards. She would send them all into the meat grinder if it were needed. She is building the new world to bring peace for everyone. The lives of children are a detail that she cannot afford to attend to.
Her enemies showed her a vision of the future and she will pay any price for it. And I cannot wait to see what that vision entails.
#hello the latest episodes of wbn have captivated me so much I had to come back#mama warcrimes the things you do to me#it’s so cute the way Suvi gets her justification machine from steel#and by cute I mean#the generational trauma in the citadel runs deeper than I imagined#also for any HK fans yes that’s what I’m referencing#what better parallel than the King who sacrificed millions of children#and did something even worse to the one child to precious to kill#the wizard the witch and the wild one#worlds beyond number#wbn#the wizard steel#wwwo#wbn spoilers#wbn steel

FEEL MY CRINGE AND FALL FOR I AM SLEEP-DEPRIVED AND UNMEDICATED.
•—•—•Unhinged Guide•—•—•
Danny floated through the wall of the seemingly sentient house he found through the Realms, peeking into the strange scene of a man in a trench coat chanting what seemed to be Latin over a summoning circle.
Inching closer Danny moved over to the ceiling. Making sure he was out of sight, Danny couldn’t help but analyze the circle to try and predict what it would summon.
…..
“Your sixteenth sigil is wrong” Danny spoke up after a while, causing the man to jump and snap his gaze to him. Clearly startled.
Danny— who couldn’t care less— began to draw the correct sigil in the air, using ectoplasm to make the marks actually show and stay.
The man blinked and corrected his circle.

so uhhhhhhhh. not to be cryptic and bitchy on main but congratulations to everyone in my messages for like 5 months on being right i guess
#ramble#ughhhhhhhhhhhh ok so#i will delete this later bc idk if this person has tumblr and i genuinely mean no ill will i just need an outside opinion#i vented about it on my close friends story already but i need like. a neutral party#i won't say their name but if you're on other socials you probably know who it is#basically for a while i've been getting messages saying 'this person has hacked your art style' or 'is REDACTED your alt account'#and in the beginning there were like. similarities? but nothing i could really claim and also i don't want to accuse someone of theft#like i don't own any stylistic choices or anything. i've used things from other artists i like. honestly it's kind of flattering#and we are actually really friendly in DMs now and we even joke about it. we message eachother any time we get a comment about it#i made a joke literally 2 weeks ago about how we're two different people i swear#but after adding some Very specific things to my art (like the paper texture/hatching/shiny lighting). they also added them#and i gave them the benefit of the doubt bc i don't like to believe anyone has bad intent with stuff like that. and i've done the same obvs#but recently they dropped some tav lore and it was. basically a panel for panel copy of one of my cyra comics down to the HAND PLACEMENT#and obviously i don't own the Bitch Mother trope or anything but it's just. mmmmm it makes me feel weird#idk it just feels like it's gone a bit far now and i'm not sure what to do about it#like you would think after we became moots they would get scared and stop but i think i was too openly trusting and they just kept going#recently someone on THEIR PATREON thought they were me and they weren't even one of mine (which by itself is funny but. y'know)#i don't want to call anyone out or upset anyone bc it only causes more problems but like. i Know. and idk if they should know that i know#maybe i'm just stupid idk i really trusted that it wasn't happening but it is and i don't know how to feel#hONESTLY I'M JUST MAD THAT I CAN'T DO ANY MORE CYRA LORE NOW BC PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACCUSE **ME**#also PLEASE do not witch hunt this person i want to deal with this as quietly as possible#i really felt like i was in the twilight zone or just being paranoid so i had to ask

holidays are finally over! time to draw :)
i got tired waiting for fanfiction on ao3 to update so i thought why not make my own weird fanfiction but MANGA
prev | next
Behind the scenes under the cut
i was debating myself on whether or not i should do a traceover of this panel
but the voice in my head said "nah, eyeball it"
anyways props to abby howard for going through hatching and detail hell, what a boss
in my GREAT WISDOM (sarcastic) i forgot to put side windows on the school made out of cabins here
so i had to add them after copy-pasting every cabin
Originally, these were Prisoner (lie, she skips school) and Advy (cheat, she forces Quiet to do te homework), but i thought against it and gave them to the obvious choices (plus Narrator was introducing the school to Quiet here, so he couldn't be the one talking to Advy)
i don't really draw the voices, but the Narrator is here!
i think it's a pretty universal choice to give Narrator glasses.
by the way, all these Japanese doesn't mean I'm fluent 😭😭 i'm still just a learner, so if there's a mistake, don't be afraid to correct me!
thanks for reading!
#newquestion#my art#slay the princess#comic#stp jhs au#stp adversary#stp prisoner#stp tower#stp nightmare#stp witch#stp razor#stp beast#stp narrator#stp long quiet#im surprised i drew all this faster than i expected wow i am getting faster#they're so anime#what do you mean only burned grey can only set fires? razor can do it too!

real footage of me watching everyone in the AAA fandom use 'older woman' and/or 'older witch' to describe Agatha during her interactions with Rio in canon universe Agathario fics like Rio isn't literal Death and as old as the universe itself while Agatha is a mere 352 years compared to her and hence younger than her (thus not being the 'older woman' between the two of them):

You mean to tell me that the pevensie siblings had ruled Narnia for DECADES before they had to come back to their normal lives, taking in the fact that time never passed at all in their world, only for them to do algebra and latin again in school all over again?? I wish the psychological aspect of this was expanded more because wtf? They probably hadn't picked up an algebra/latin textbook in decades so they come back and forget basically anything they've learnt in school?? Would it have slowed down their learning progress? Is that why peter was sent to professor kirke's house specifically for tutoring?? because kirke could understand the impact of moving completely different worlds and adjusting to it knowing that he'd be too old to return, while simultaneously continuing his life like nothing happened?? Or am I just reading into it too much because this still kinda blows my mind lol. Their perception of time would've been really fucked up.
#yes I'm aware that I'm going too deep into this#but someone has to okay#Esp cuz I haven't posted a narnia thought in like... forever so my mind is flooding#because WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN THAT THE PEVENSIES DIDNT GO TO AN ASYLUM AFTER THAT#I would tbh#I would NOT be over it#chronicles of narnia#the chronicles of narnia#narnia#peter pevensie#edmund pevensie#susan pevensie#lucy pevensie#pevensie siblings#the pevensies#digory kirke#the lion the witch and the wardrobe#prince caspian

doodles because the finale aaahhhhh (yes as you see i'm already trying to cope)
agatha has been a ghost for like a hot minute and she's already dead set on becoming the most annoying ghost in ghost history
#and i respect that so much#(pun not intended)#bean draws#agatha all along#agatha all along spoilers#agatha harkness#rio vidal#agatha all along art#agatha x rio#no i like her old robe better it has a classy look about it#very good old fashioned fantasy witch not. idk superhero film witch. also very soft#i was squealing with joy when she wore that one for just a brief moment ughhhh it's so nice even without the blackened fingertips#i mean i get why they introduced that pattern in the new robe but no#also bad cgi makes her whole costume and wig look way worse than what i think it might look like in real life

Ello Ello Hola. Ciao and Bonjour internet artist. If it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd like to request fanart of a show called Mysticons. It's not really popular but it was a large part of my childhood. (P.S hope you're doing well. Love your art. Make sure to take breaks and drink water or else I'll be in your walls)
MYSTICONS?!?!?!
I only I watched a couple of episodes and I've been trying to re-watch these series for like, years now! 😭😭I freaking love their designs, man, they look so 🤌🤌🤌 !
(also thank you for your kind words <3 and kind (?lol) threat! i try not to overdo it. ;3)
#mysticons#emerald goldenbraid#princess arkayna goodfey#zarya moonwolf#piper willowbrook#barely remember what happened but i do remember the start of it was pretty good ;) really need to rewatch it properly lol#also their outfit designs are just so *chef's kiss* its uniform to make them look like a team. fancy but not too garrish & really individua#it scratches that satisfying itch in my brain because its more fancy than my ultimate favorite WITCH outfits but not pixie manic dream fanc#and yes i mean winnx 😭 listen i dont have much against it but i never particularly enjoyed how TOO much some of their outfits were like bru#but mysticon outfits?? they kinda hit that sweet balance for me personally. also love that ALL of them are functional af lol
