Feels as though I’m a lot getting more emotional the past few days

It feels nice—no, really good—to write about Dawn Winery this way

#dusk personal writing #well this feels nice #(for the most part) #(or more like. the nice parts feel nice) #nature is beautiful #writing about the dawn winery while using my own experiences visiting a winery #and my general feelings towards spring and flowers #I can’t believe how emotional I ended up getting #when usually I read something (positive) and cannot imagine myself in the situation easily #despite liking it #dawn winery… spring…

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.

I’m writing about Dawn Winery and getting emotional over nature and spring and flowers and wineries. And I was reading back on Kaeya’s and Diluc’s birthday letters over the years when I realized Diluc doesn’t have a 2024 letter yet

Today’s April 27. His birthday is April 30.

“Wait, Diluc’ birthday is in three days”

#dusk rambles #diluc #gi #imagining my own (positive) experiences when reading stories doesn’t come naturally to me #so I’m trying hard to consciously visualize Dawn Winery and a similar winery I’ve visited irl #and imagining the springtime flowers here when I write about Mondstadt #this feels different yet nice

The struggle between

“This (academic) creative project is too challenging and I want to give up. It’s such a long process and dealing with all these narrative/technical parts under a time constraint is difficult and confusing and it’s all so imperfect in the end argh. It’s so painful I NEVER WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN.”

during the project, and

“ARGH the SATISFACTION of finishing this project and looking back at it after some time to see how much it’s progressed and how much I’ve learned from it is amazing. I WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN just to feel this” afterwards

every gay friend group has: the repressed academic, the ska loving "brawn", the formerly mean girl psychic, the match making anime fan, the astrology lover, the lesbian butcher/reluctant big sister, the sexy cat with nine lives, the walrus who runs a magic shop and the local witch who wants to kill everyone

Trying to familiarize myself with pieces where Childe’s leitmotif shows up and “Foul Legacy” starts like “From Snezhnaya with Boldness” but from 00:16 onwards it just sounds like he’s living his dream as a hero with none of the Fatui and Abyss stuff, like it’s how he imagines himself to be and probably how Teucer sees him

The theme in the middle (0:28 - 0:41) also shows up in some early Liyue four-star demos so if you have a Childe demo PV but from Teucer’s POV this would be the music

Which means this shows up in his story quest cutscene where he transforms to fight the ruin guards, right

I wanna know since I’m kinda inconsistent about a tag. I want to pick a name that’s not too joke-like, unique, while still having some connection with canon symbolism🤔

Or, another name?

Some screenshot colour studies I did some time ago. I really like how the glow and blurs are done on Glacial Waltz

Reference screenshots and another study below

The glows and curves are beautiful

I thought Aventurine’s hair had an interesting colour with the lighting in a cutscene so I did a study of some screenshots but got frustrated at one point so I painted on Lumine instead

Transcription of first image’s notes

what we learned:

results > [over] method

use diff [different] techniques if it's easier (eg. [example] no blend modes)”

Baseline

fairly saturated

esp [especially] skin & shirt

Red tint in hair is from skin glow

many gradients, easier to just paint w/o blend modes

End transcription.

Transcription of the third image’s notes

cutscene - hard light (?) [question mark in parentheses]

desaturated

contrast [arrow pointing up]

cooler & darker shadow

BG was colour picked [arrow pointing to background]

what we learned:

don’t get too nitpicky over accuracy! [exclamation mark]

relative colours are important

End transcription.

Small spoiler for the newest quest in 1.6

The fact that Razor yeets himself off of a flying dragon, aka mid air, never fails to crack me up.

Based on this :
