#which is DUMB but whatever

The MRA types on twitter have been whining about the draft (which hasn't been used in decades even though the selective service still exists) because Kamala Harris and that podcast lady said they couldn't think of any laws controlling men's bodies and it's obviously stupid on many levels but what gets me is the lefty women were all against the draft! Because anyone with a conscience thought sending 18-year-olds to Vietnam was a bad thing!

I feel so depressed right now, like someone has died

I went and bought myself dinner in the hopes it would get me to work and it hasn't :(

So Miquella was considered by Mohg as his consort, in the meantime Mohg also wished to become Miquella's consort??

Mohg’s Remembrance:

Lord of Blood's Exaltation:

That just doesn't make sense. You are Ranni's consort, but she is not your consort. Radagon is Marika's consort, but Marika is not Radagon's. Tanith is Rykard's consort, but Rykard is not hers. Miquella once asked Radahn to be their consort, but not vice versa

Consort is very definitely inferior to their partner who is actually in charge. Two people can't exactly be each other's consort, although it might imply a more equal partnership rather than a ruler paired with a spouse

So to me it says that Remembrance and Exaltation are about two separate events (otherwise they'd just be mutually exclusive). Exaltation's event happened earlier, when Miquella was Mohg's consort, when their goal was to grow bigger instead of becoming a full god

Remembrance happened later when they focused on ascension. Once they passed through the portal to the lands of shadows, Mohg never heard back from them again

There was definitely a long period of time in between which was completely cut because this is a fs game and the theme is we're always late to the party. We never get to see the good times only the aftermath

Snakemas! Based on these guys, Iwakuni snakes (albino Japanese rat snakes):

This AU is (unfortunately) still in early development while I'm busy with school but there's some basic lore bits.

Half-monsters (hanmon) are a third group of organism between humans and pokemon. They are the result of ancient species from both groups combining and evolving over millenia to become specialized species of their own. They have monstrous appearances akin to pokemon, but wield only physical abilities like humans. Due to the nature of how they were formed and how they are viewed, most live in hiding, with only a few thousand individuals being observed and recorded

White Mountain Snakes are native to the Sin-Joh regions, showing up in traditional manuscripts as messengers of regional deities to guide and bring good luck to humans. Ingo and Emmet are children in a family that moved from Sinnoh to Unova. As such they consider themselves part of three cultures, and speak three languages

The twins are one of the only well known examples of hanmon in the present day. Most people are divided on their feelings about half-monsters, so they try very hard to skew the perception in a more positive direction. They act very proper with others and in public, only letting up and relaxing at home

Ingo does end up falling through the rift to Hisui. His main concern is that he fell right as the different clans were fighting over who was right, and having a "divine messenger" appear in Pearl Clan territory has caused a whole new mess for Ingo and the clanspeople

As for the serpents themselves:

The twins are constrictors, lacking fangs and instead having insanely muscular lower halves for wrapping and crushing prey in their grip. Depending on the size of the food they're eating, they might also just crush it with their bare hands to make it more manageable to swallow quickly

They are looooong, something like 10m in length from head to tail. The subway has multiple posters up warning patrons to watch their step in case they trip over them in traffic

They are awfully sensitive to temperature change. They sleep under a giant electric blanket, wear thick uniforms, and set the driving car temperature to be warm. Summer is their best working season, however they tend to stop working in winter to hibernate for about 4 months, much to the dismay of Battle Subway fans, staff, and local grocers

They'll shed about thrice a year and assist each other with peeling it when possible. This is mostly since they aren't dexterous enough to reach parts of their back. Shedding time means it's time for this little competition of theirs where they attempt to pull the longest pieces of shed possible off the other. Ingo is not very good at dealing with Emmet's dry ass and ends up accidentally cracking it most of the time. They sometimes give the scrap shed to Elesa for use in fashion outfits

Ingo's mouth is much narrower than Emmet's, he often has to stretch his jaws to accommodate something Emmet can eat easily. As a result the tissue connecting his jaws in the front is more stretchy

The twins have different organ locations due to their long structure. This usually doesn't affect their job but if you give them a hug you will feel the heart pumping in their abdomen

Thanks to all for reading this far. As a treat have Ingo and Emmet in their separation outfits, Emmet in his uniform and Ingo in the garb gifted by the Pearl Clan.

I like getting emails about any of the *checks account* 392 fics I’m currently subscribed to. It distracts me from all the things I haven’t written.

2024 art summary!

i uh went a bit overboard lmao

This has just one big happy mess of a year, and I wanted to reflect that as literally as possible by collaging basically every piece I made! Idk if this is comprehensible at all to anyone but me lmfao. Try zooming in!

For something a bit cleaner, I also made this artist vs art summary pic as well!

It was a bit challenging to choose just eight pieces to feature, which I guess is part of why I made that monster collage above lmao

Last year's art summary! (jesus christ)

More thoughts below the cut:

It really has been an insane year, between the Warframe creator program and Hollowframe developments and my first Tennocon as a creator and continuing to help my parents move and too many art classes and applying for a dream job and preparing for my art capstone and

It's uh been a lot

And I'm glad I got to share it with you guys :)

it’s so funny that you can be talking to someone who had SO evidently been flirting with you and yet whenever you flirt back there’s always a little demon in your head yelling abt how this is definitely WEIRD and CREEPY and you’ll get taken out back and shot

I actually rly rly ADORE frankengrif but I don't have an in-show reason why he'd have extensive long-term allogeneic skingrafts on his face 😔

What I think is so important to learning how to truly appreciate life is learning how to appreciate the creatures and things we've categorized as "disgusting" or "gross."

When I learned to appreciate wasps, I realized how much they just... don't really care about anything, and they're not trying to be an asshole because they're uniquely cruel. If they have any wants, it is to live. Why would I punish that when I also want to live?

This isn't to say you need to fall in love with the creepy crawlies that stalk this world or to love what you cannot, but to recognize that in their arrangement of atoms, they are trying to persevere, and in the end... aren't we all?
