#wiki project

[tolkien-meta-library]

Hi everyone! Unfortunately, it seems that the wiki for organizing posts isn't getting enough traction to be feasible. So here are potential alternative options that I'm (@fortuitousraven) proposing for your input:

Use an Ao3 collection.

My thought is to create external bookmarks (these allow linking to works posted outside of Ao3) of posts to include in a Ao3 meta library collection. Using bookmarker's tags and subcollections would be an effective way to organize posts by topics.

This would naturally include internal bookmarks of meta works posted on Ao3 itself, and ideally most of them would be. Friendly reminder that fannish non-fiction (such as meta) is allowed on Ao3, you can absolutely cross-post any of your own meta-works on Ao3.

Pros: Large platform that contributors are familiar with using. Safe external archiving (albeit only for cross-posts).

Cons: Less convenient indexing than on a wiki.

Work around tumblr.

This would basically leave this blog the same, but add more index pages to allow specific tags to be looked up more easily.

Pros: Large platform. Easy to manage copyrights of the original posts.

Cons: Tumblr's search functions are glitchy. Can't wrangle tags, unlike Ao3 or the wiki.

There are a lot of things on the new wiki that I'm very astronomically proud or excited about, but I think the officially endorsed quote on Alex Gross' page might just be my number one favorite thing. I keep remembering it and cracking up lmao (Axl Low's GG Strive voice actor)

My life series piece is finished! Only took several days and 9 total hours but it’s done! Very proud of myself for mostly rendering the hands and the Dogwarts Banners…It’s the favorite child. I am happy for this experience since I actually drew something serious for once. It’s purely Third Life based, each heart goes to a certain player death! I’m going to collapse now…

I forgot to mention that it’s a school project! I just didn’t put the poem on there that we needed to do. Mostly because I ain’t letting the world see my poem, I hate poems >:[

Hey do you think there's a deeper meaning or reason Spite looks just like Lucanis...

There's the scene by the fireplace and I picked up on how Lucanis closes his eyes as he turns his head to avoid looking at Spite...

It's like looking in a mirror, right, and your reflection is staring back as you deliberately hurt yourself with your words.

Lucanis, I think, is stuck in a cycle of 'It’s all I know.' 'It's what I'm good at.' But there's cracks there that hint this isn't who he wants to be...

"Death is my calling."

I don't think he actually believes that, but he has to tell himself that, right?

I don't think he's ever been given the chance to explore who he wants to be, he's just been told this is who he is...

Demons are bound when you 'tell' them what they are so loudly that it's all they can hear. They have to be what you want." But a spirit who evolves to become more of a "real person" is less malleable than a spirit and if they have the certainty of who they are and who they desire to be, they can resist binding entirely.

Did someone else bind the spirit to him by force? Corrupt its nature so fit the needs of the user?

If Spite was originally Love (as I've seen some people comment Love being the opposite of Spite) and they were forcibly bound to Lucanis for whatever reason, did that cause Love to twist into Spite?

I think we're going to have to heal both Lucanis and Spite from whatever grief or trauma they've been through, make him come to terms and accept whatever fucked up thing happened, so it sticks, and he stops just "wiping the slate clean".

He comes across to me as a guy who's just like going through the motions, and needs more of a push to change, for himself.

Nevertheless, it is not unheard of for spirits to evolve and become more "human" by coming to terms with grief, heal from being emotionally hurt, and thus be able to learn from what they endured. By coming to terms with grief, a spirit is able to grow as a person and not "wash clean" like a spirit."

Then I was reading up on spirit healers, and again, there's that same theme of trust here, the spirit trusting the 'mage' and also the loss of trust when being tricked by a benevolent spirit...

To gain the services of such benevolent and righteous beings requires that the mage earn their trust. Often this requires a series of trials to prove that the mage's goals are as noble as the spirit demands, though some mages have claimed to command the compliance of such spirits through sheer force of charisma.

So if Spite was Love, imagine if the trust was broken from the get-go, by whoever brought them over from the fade, that surely would cause Love to twist into Spite?

More than one tale exists of a spirit healer being fooled by a demon masquerading as a benevolent spirit, and inadvertently bringing them across the Veil... or being tricked into letting down their guard, and possessed.

On the flip side, Lucanis is not a mage(?) but if he needed help or something idk- and he was tricked and possessed that way - tricked by 'Love'? Owch, the loss of trust there...

Oh and if Spite just a spirit of Love that was corrupted by Lucanis' own feelings? Like how Justice twisted into Vengeance(?)

We know Lucanis is relearning how to trust, and he's a romantic.

How can you trust others If you don't trust yourself? Spite feels like intrusive thoughts made manifest... And how can you Love others if you have no Love left for yourself? Spite seems to be chipping away at Lucanis slowly... he looks so tired.

What exactly happened to him, I wonder, I can't wait to find out cause it's gonna hurt...

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it

as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)

first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

The start of a super long project that I probably not going to finish.

I have always been fascinated with the art on playing cards. I especially like the ones that have unique designs for each card, or a different character for each one. So, I decided to take a jab at it via Rayman. This is made under the guise of teensies making this for teensies, so teensies are going to be the main designs (sorry everyone, you can go home now).

This is also an excuse to practice in the Legends art style since I hate painting and this whole thing is basically painting so whoopieee.

Other versions/progress photos below cut:

I made alt versions for the soul purpose of not having to do it later

Also some other progress doodles cus this actually took me forever.

If this gets 52 notes I'll make more. Have a good one bros :)

Tsukasa is heavily associated with the number 88, beginning with his second commissioned song, 88☆彡. The song itself has the number 88 as a recurring motif, with some of this symbolism connecting to Tsukasa.

The following is a (hopefully) complete list of the connections the song and Tsukasa have to the number 88:

The song is exactly 88 measures long.

The song has a BPM of 176, which is 88 in half-time.

The note count for the songs chart on every difficulty ends in 88 (increasing: 388, 588, 688, 1088, 1188, 1388).

The append chart also has 88 stars in total appear on hold notes throughout the song.

There are 88 keys on the piano. Tsukasa's connection to the piano was explored within the On the stage of dazzling light event, the event that 88☆彡 was commissioned for.

When written in English, Wonderlands contains 11 letters, and Showtime contains 8. If the "x" in WonderlandsxShowtime is used as a multiplication sign, 11 multiplied by 8 is equal to 88.

The 8th chapter of this event happens to be the 88th chapter of WonderlandsxShowtime's story altogether (counting all the main story, Virtual Singer main story, and event stories). This doesn't apply to the EN server due to the omission of Revival my dream.

There are 88 known constellations. Another piece of recurring imagery with Tsukasa is a star, which is included in the song's title. Some constellations can also be seen on his trained Star Melody banner 4* card.

The Tenma siblings (including Toya as their honourary sibling) have birthdays that are 8 days apart (Saki is May 9th, Tsukasa is May 17th, and Toya is May 25th). Tsukasa has the middle birthday of the three, meaning that 88 (or 8 and another 8) connects him to the people he considers most important to him. All three of them are also connected to the piano.

Tsukasa smiles in the 2DMV at the end of the bridge, which is also 88 seconds into the song.

In addition to this, Tsukasa's third unit banner, Towards the Phoenix at the Sky's Edge, was the game's 88th event. Again this does not apply to the EN server.

Horrible scp idea!

It is a soup store that sales canned soup, but once you buy a can, clothes come out of the tin and they all are good quality and very durable. They are good tho but they are cover in soup.
