"... indeed, after a brief time, the television crew departs. Still, the incident leaves me with a bad feeling. The way that the press follows me in a pack, almost like wild animals, is awful; though no jaguars or other animals attacked me in the jungle, these supposedly civilized people never stopped hunting me."

starting yet Another relisten of dames and dragons presented by legendlark, my beloved.
i've just finished the first arc and i think there's something so special about the pairs who fall off the island together and how it kind of sets the scene for those relationships for the rest of the campaign, in my mind.
#like... laika and maeri. i can't say anything about them that hasn't already been said better#it's like are they in love.. maybe#(yes)#but regardless it's laika's unwavering loyalty for her throughout her whole time in the party and then even later when she comes back#like. they held each other while they fell from the sky 🥺#it makes me crazy#but it's really fran and corbin for me#idk they are so siblingly to me#like they hate each other they are so SHUT UP CORBIN but they're everything to each other#it rips me apart every time i listen to the end of the weeping god and fran disappears and he's digging through the rubble#and it's like sure. laika left. maeri also disappeared#slake is still there. not for nothing. but they're not estran#slake is trying to tell corbin but he's just. she has to be here#he can't lose fran#fran is the only person left who has been through EVERYTHING with him#they held each other while they fell from the sky 🥺#i'm just obsessed with those two relationships in particular and them falling from estra like that makes me crazy#it's like. you can't have laika without maeri. for fran and corbin. you can't have one without the other#and i don't mean to ignore slake bits just that they're not here yet#i love slake and maeri's relationship A Lot too but it is different from the estran's relationships to each other in my mind#I LOVE LEGENDLARK#PODCAST OF ALL TIME#dames and dragons#legendlark#mine

felt the need to draw all of fantasy life’s characters cause i’m insane but luckily for me i couldn’t find ref for that many of them online, forcing me to stop at 31 (insane... colored them all in a day too)
stayed very close to their original design, just some outfits simplification when i felt like it or simply cause the ref was too low quality for me to tell what was even going on there. most changes are skin tones, so people who are related actually look that way and people who lives in the southern towns have a tan. made two charas chubbier for more body types and turned a real blond into a fake one... just cause!
anyway, best game, you should play it!
do not erase the caption, use or rePOST my art (reblog ok)
#my art#fan art#fantasy life#fantasy life ds#fantasy life 3ds#video game#Character Design#because the name of the game is so generic it's essential to add the '3ds' stuff lol#EMBARRASSING haven't posted any fanart for this game since 2017 apparently?#i do have stuff to show i just don't... post often lol#and when i do it's so much in one go what is my deal for real#oh for yuelia! changed her hair from blond to blue#so the day/night effect the twin give is even more in your face#blue like the sky yea yea#also will simply use any excuse to make less of them blond#that's just what i do#the game artstyle is SO pretty the music is SO good and it's SO fell good#literally one of my fav game ever

Embrace
Zelda woke to am embrace.
It was... lukewarm. Cold initially, and soaking wet, but with hot breath on her shoulder, with shivering muscles and a foggy mind and desperate strength holding her close.
What was...? The last thing she remembered was...
Blinking to get water out of her eyes (water? Why was there water?), Zelda turned her head to see dirty blonde hair plastered to wet skin and clothes, she recognized the light blue immediately, the sword on his back.
"Link...?" she breathed.
When--how did she get home? She'd swallowed the secret stone, and--
Link held her tightly, and Zelda's eyes stung with tears as she laughed.
I'm home.
#you ask skye answers#lovely anon#writing prompt#writing#tears of the kingdom#totk#later zelda got aspiration pneumonia#you're welcome#I'M KIDDING#but seriously girl fell like 8000 ft out of the sky to face plant into the water while unconscious like#my girl should be dead#then again so should link#I laughed really hard when landing in a pool of water was supposed to be the way to stop yourself from dying while FALLING THOUSANDS OF FEE#ok nintendo#I'm going to stop myself now LOL

s/b: i don't like that thor features a love story
me: well let me tell you about how mcu!thor's core trait is his love and that includes love for his people, love for his homeland/home planet, love for his family and his brother in particular, love for the nine realms and earth in particular, and how that all boils down into love for jane— who's the most human of humans to him; who taught him how to be human too — so of course in the film where we're introduced to the mcu depiction of thor, his story is quintessentially a love story in both hope (jane) and tragedy (loki) and how those two things constantly conflict and contradict one another, and leave thor stranded in the middle because he loves both so dearly; patrick doyle crafted a beautiful OST featuring STRINGS and PIANO instead of just drums and horns because thor is strong and heroic, yes, he is, in fact, a hero but he's a beautiful hero because of his love because he is SOFT and it's reflected in the strings in both of his themes and—
#don't even get me started on how the avengers continues this particular theme so well#god the shot when loki has flung him from the ship and he moves to pick up the hammer and hesitates#y'all they intercut dialogue that someone speaks to banner overtop thor at that exact second#AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAID? “you fell from the sky”#he knew dang well he was worthy he /just/ used the hammer to get out of the hulk drop but he was thinking of loki#//who let go ... who was presumed dead for a year//#who .... //fell from the sky//#don't even get me EXTRA started on tdw and how it just keeps this train rolling lord the music of thor's 2 themes in that one too i just#lose my marbles every time gang i wish i had more technical terms and fancy composer lingo to explain this#alas all i have is a lifetime of choir classes and HS band + orchestra#which means that i know what i /feel/ but i can't explain it too good BUT HEAR ME OUT I'M TELLING YOU#his themes in TDW and 2011 both spell out /love/ what makes him a hero is his love !! he's love !!#&&. whispers#&&. meta#&&. | marvel. |#&&. thor.#so anyways guess who's listening to earth to asgard + sons of odin again and crying

u ever have a very specific visceral feeling that u can trace back to an exact moment in ur life?
like ur cells rearrange and ur brain calibrates to the earth’s magnetic field it’s like “oh, this is just like the cough drop incident of 2019”
or “oh this is just like that time i got lost in the laser tag at golf and stuff when i was 4”
or “oh this is e x a c t l y how i felt when i was first getting into hollow knight”
idk how to explain it but i could feel it in my bone marrow
#i was listening to a song and i just started doodlin bugs#and it took me back to an exact moment 2 years ago when i was in algebra class and i was listening to that song and i was doodlin bugs#with that s a m e f e e l i n g i had when i was starting to get Not Normal about them#it was wild and silly i enjoyed it#but y k w h a t i m e a n r i g h t ?#it’s like the feeling got locked in a vault and buried in the deep recesses of my mind#and somehow the music i was listening to and the mood i was in and the way my food tasted and the direction of the wind#and the curve of the earth under my feet and the way that leaf fell across the courtyard and the exact position of the ISS in the sky#somehow opened that vault and dug up that feeling perfectly preserved and intact; hot n ready like it just came out the oven#and like i’ve drawn those bugs to that song before but this time it was So Specific#kinda funny cus that song comes from an album called “Memory Fever”#that’s the magic of bendigo fletcher ig; although i doubt these are the kinda memories he expected to be jogging with his music#(long rant whoooops)#(it was cool tho)#(also the cough drop incident is a real thing kdjhrhshdd )#hollow knight#stan’s forum

I need Americans that were never Christian™️ to realize that the average conservative cult christian's thoughts are basically that one episode of Spongebob where he gets elected Hall Monitor and gives a speech with "Crime and Punishment. Punishment and Crime"
#christians see themselves as the hall monitors of the earth essentially#and everyone needs to be punished and have their good noodle stars taken else they'll commit arson#they genuinely believe that as soon as you stop policing people they'll delve into their deepest darkest fantasies and start committing sins#that even Jesus Christ himself didn't think of#they come from the idea that they are the only group capable of keeping things steady until Sky Papa can make his way down and fuck shit up#So when you do something bad it's because you fell into the pull of destruction#But when they do it's the equivalent of stepping on your dog's foot because they almost tripped you#I still think it's funny a bunch of christians are creationist tho lmao skill issue#My grandparents are but my dad isn't#he believes evolution essentially occurred over the same time the earth was being created#and the story of adam being made from dust was a metaphor and literal#he was made from dust made from decomposing animals and plants which he used to create us as a more perfect being#so now we continue to evolve because we're connected to the dust and can continue to try to improve#so my dad believes in evolution and went to college for biology and chemistry at the biggest HBCU in the US#That evolution/creationist tangent was completely unrelated but all twitter is for me rn is ppl freaking out about our rights being taken#I avoid twitter most of the time but like to look at my friends' and fav artists' tweets#and recently I think little joel made a video about the evolution video that was trending so yea#n e ways have a nice day y'all <3#I've been wanting to make more hehe hahas but everything in my brain rn is Undergraduate Thesis level shit#so I haven't really been reading or writing things I can talk about on Tumblr.Com ya know?#most of it is sociological textbooks memoirs and similar stuff that Id feel talking about on my casual blog#maybe Ill make a blog. like Blog blog for my essays one day#ex christian#religious trauma

I CAN SEE YOUR HEART BEATING THROUGH YOUR SHIRT/AIMING FROM AN ANGLE LIKE I'M MOTHERFUCKIN' KURT
Angel Valentina usually acts bubbly, sweet, and perhaps a bit too naive, but when faced with someone that hurt her or Michael Charlotte Ann, it's like a switch is flipped. Her wings disappear, her halo falls and shrinks to fit her neck, and tiny devil horns sprout from her head. All she can feel is rage, and she won't stop until she's sure the target of it has felt twice as much pain as she or MCA has from them.
#skys doodly doodles#angel valentina#technically vent art but i wasnt upset while making it its just based on real thoughts#FUN FACT the halo becoming a choker and horns sprouting is a reference to a thing my parents would say#when my sister and i were up to mischief and we tried denying it theyd say our halo is so big it fell down around our neck#and started shrinking and oh look! there pop up your devil horns#tw blood#ask to tag#oh this is from like february btw#i just kept forgetting to post

#man#fell asleep at 10pm just to not be awake#woke up at 4:30 trying to hold up the sky#life feels like a jenga tower that keeps falling#but nothing that's pulled from it ever comes back#something is so deeply wrong with me. id say it's the worst time in my life but i think that about most times in my life as they happen#feeling like. nowhere i want to be nothing i want to learn nothing i want to do.#i stare at the ceiling and there's this little spider. i saw him build his web over the course of several days#slowly#he was so small#when he dies i will be so devastated -- then i will be alone in this place

modern otome games dont do it for me anymore bc even though some of them let you pick pronouns/gender, theyre still heavily written for women (which is fair, its OTOME game for a reason, i stopped being their target demographic years ago) who specifically love to be dominated and/or degrated to different degrees, most of the time being seduced/whisked away lowkey against their will, which leads me to believe modern otome are the equivalent of those books for sexually repressed wives
#thinking abt the old otome i used to play#that was the wildest fucking scenarios ever#like#oh yeah youre the sultan's new adopted daughter#you can now bang his other adopted sons. who are extremely hot and into you#or hey. youre cinderella#straight up cinderella. pick a prince to marry and avoid some royal scandal and dabble in the world of politics#to avoid waging war against the other kingdoms#or hey. you had a car accident years ago and the ptsd makes you unable to sleep at night#its been like 10 years so your bestie recommends you hire a sleeping boyfriend who just helps you sleep#so its some guy counting sheep to you and finding out about your repressed trauma and coping mechanisms and helping you thru it#or hey#a star fell from the sky#thats a guy! he says hes your boyfriend!#the gods sent him to learn to be human so he doesn't become a shitty god when he grows up#OR NEKOMIMIS AVOID BEING HUNT DOWN BY POACHERS AND HIDE IN YOUR HOUSE#like theyre all wild but softer than whatever is happening nowadays#like with what in hell is bad. or obey me. or all those other specific demon otomes#like. there was one abt dating the reaper. an angel. or a demon. and in their routes theyre saving you from the other two#but you genuinely got to know them to such a personal degree it stopped being an otome at points like#what do you mean the reaper has abandoned the concept of friendship bc everything he touches dies#so hes torn between killing you to continue this cycle or saving you to prove hes more than a bringer of death#now its just#horny.... or the MC is useless.......

I forgot where I read it probably from some handbook but iirc drow hair is one of their symbols of beauty and to cut off someone’s hair is a way to punish and humiliate them. don’t really know if that’s an actual thing - BUT now I am thinking of shri’iia having longer hair throughout act 1 until she becomes an oathbreaker. it is only when she accepts her status as an oathbreaker that she cuts it to the bisexual bob that she usually has <3
#shri’iia is like reverse jaime to me where his hair gets significantly longer throughout the series (in my hc)#but her hair remains short .. like act 1 is her asos era ok ?#also jaime becoming kingslayer (oathbreaker) bc he did what was right instead of following what he was supposed to follow#and shri’iia doing the same thing … failing to follow the tenets of lolth’s paladin (aka being a general menace to everyone) and she did#what she thought was right (followed the group’s consensus / killed minty in a way that she thought she would be praised for#but then she was shamed for it and also indirectly saving the tieflings in the process)#but unlike jaime he is not a girlfail 💔#he did what was right and got judged for it 💔#and shri’iia did what she thought was right but then she gets shamed and forsaken for it … fell out of lolth’s favor#wait now I’m obsessed with shri’iia and the ‘how can such a night be so beautiful? why would the stars look down on such as me?’ line#shri’iia who is slowly falling in love with the vastness and openness of the sky .. something that is so new and foreign to her … but she#has fallen out of the spider favor…. deemed a stain and a source of shame .. she is now worth nothing .. doesn’t even deserve to look at#the stars - something that is not hers to view to begin with since she is not from the surface … hrk hHRK. hrk. gagging.#when I say that shri’iia’s sense of self / self esteem is low.. it’s fucking low … like it has a shovel and it’s digging low ..#100+ years of isolation and toxic codependent relationship where her self worth amounted to whatever she could do for her matriarch will do#that to u I guess …
