#All part of the same tree

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

I remember seeing a little bit of an episode of Beauty and the Beast (the weird 80s show; not the Disney movie lol) and noticing the similarities to another thing I had just seen, not even an hour before (I was seven-ish), and went, “Wow that’s a weird coincidence… twice in one day?? What.”

Anyway… I started thinking about that movie because of an article I read… and then that made me think of that weird series again… so I looked up the episode list.

Hoooooly shit I was not aware of the sheer amount of whump in Beauty and the Beast

Everyone gird your loins; I’m about to enter critical hyperfixation levels

#[Dr. Smith voice] “I am being s u m m o n e d” [walks off into the sunset like a zombie] #uh oh #it’s the “hyperfixation chain reaction” at it again #It’s not done #oh god #o fuk #o lei o lai o lord #< and thanks to a Tumblr post about a certain alternate version of a certain character from a certain sci fi show #I now associate that song with [someone] who is very relevant to the whole reason I am interested in THIS series #so of course I would put that in the tags #I got Pavloved so hard; ring the bell and watch me beg (that came out unintentionally 😏ohohoHO but whatever) #But I have a feeling that I need to recharge the mother root of the hyperfixation chain reaction #Not the seed; the root #And the tree in the bog and the bog down in the valley-o #No literally… all my interests? They’re one big expansive root system #All part of the same tree #A chestnut tree #Aaaaaaand CUT #Currently vibrating like a jackhammer #aieou #OUIOUIOUIIIUIIIIOIIIOOGH

oh yeah.... im making aus now.... florist au but al haitham is a part time employee at the plant nursery tighnari owns and kaveh keeps running into him

#im very scared about talking about aus #since im not a writer... im a reader!!! shout out to all the fanfic authors you guys really carry me #also this is very obviously a modern au #in said au i like to imagine that when kaveh isnt actively drawing he wears compression gloves that double as normal art gloves theyre just #expensive as fuck so he tries not to get them dirtied in ink and graphite #in a similar vein al haitham owns 1 billion compression shirts cause comfy compression #i have a bunch of really specific and small headcanons tbh #ANYWAY ABOUT THE NURSERY PART #kaveh is a regular that likes to support his friends by buying way too many flowers he doesnt have the time to take care of :3 #also he buys samples to show clients when he has an idea involving flowers for decoration #collei also works there part time #also kaveh and al haitham knew each other in college but the Fallout(TM) happened so they stopped talking until they met again #met again in the nursery lol!!! #imagine being surrounded by carefully tended to flowers and trees and other flora while slowly falling in love #with the same guy that tore open your chest and peered directly into your soul #haikaveh #kavehtham #kaveh #alhaitham #genshin impact

Don't ask for context on this. I don't know. Maybe he is basking in the moonlight while he can.

#remus lupin #remus lupin fanart #marauders era #the marauders fanart #the marauders #marauders era fanart #marauders fanart #why is his hair different everytime i draw him lmfao #also im an actual idiot #it took me 3 hours to realize that he cannot in fact be a human at the same time as a full moon #so anyways i added the little black part to the moon #now its somewhat more lore accurate #but then i have more questions #hes not even allowed out! and why would he visit the tree when he doesnt need to #its okay it at least looks nice #just pretend this was all intentional

Come back home when you have some sense

You can throw your life away just not at my expense

You’re not the son I raised

#jhariah #this one just rawrrfrrr #and then uh another line thats like ‘tell me did you raise a man?’ #nice #im just listening to the new album to cope with nasty sickness and feeling out of it #god this album is really good it has every emotion in there like this song for example just the part where they scream the chorus its like #hnnnghhh #hm some other moments from the album im liking a lot uhhh i love re: concerns a lot #the part where hes like reading off the complaints and then the part where hes just screaming and its like BAM BAM BAM BAAAM #sasuke is so good and the bit at the end where its like ‘i just want you to know im so so...’ #like hes gonna say sorry but cant seem to say the word for whatever reason and i know nothing about sasuke #but i has to imagine the fan girlies are eating gravel over that one lol it gets me #and theres just that like spooky echoing afterwards #the intro to fire4fun goes SOOOOOOOO hard i was losing my shit its awesome #the entirety of trust ceremony is giving me big feelings but specifically that part towards the end where its all quiet and you hear #its like whistling i think? like a marching band is coming in maybe #but it also kinda sounds like nature too and idk i like got a little bit um magical at that part cuz i was driving down a big hill #and it had been raining but there was a clearing in the clouds and the sun was bright and like at this particular hill #you can just see everything like the land stretches for miles theres trees hills the river farms all that shit #and idk with the extreme stress and depression ive been feeling its hard to have these moments where life seems worth it #and its hard to really feel anything anymore or to feel in the moment but idk i was just going down that hill seeing everything and it was #very majestic so yeah that song is definitely gonna have the same effect as pin eye for me #which i must mention pin eye again its still OOOOGHH very good it came at a pretty good time for me #yeah basically this album is uhhhh whats keeping me somewhat grounded rn i recommend 👍

I can't get over how Adam came to the conclusion that Chase is his wife meanwhile he has "Wife?" and "Mom?" written under Perry's name

#he also didn't even bother to write ''brother'' under Chase's name or Leo's or Daniel's name but he has ''sister'' under Bree's #''mom'' under Tasha's ''dad'' under Donald's and ''uncle dad'' under Douglas's AND he has his capsule as a part of the family tree #also some names have two arrows connecting them to the same name like Leo and Chase have two arrows to each other #this probably is one of the funniest moments in the show to me and how all of his siblings don't say anything about it makes it funnier #Chase doesn't even rebuke him #lab rats #disney lab rats #adam davenport #chase davenport #terry perry

the fact that it's specifically stated that faulkner lied when he said no one else knew about the house is so funny to me because

a) im used to things specifically mentioned in writing coming back and the idea of carpenter being like "well i know a place we can crash at" and her and hayward walking into the cabin and seeing faulkner n rane just standing there is unquestionably hilarious but also

b) it means that faulkner had to have told her about his past at some point and that means that when he asked to be her brother she had fully acknowledged the fact that faulkner killed one of his brothers in a traumatic misunderstanding he's reconstructed in his mind as a good thing As Well As the fact that her last brother died in an act of religious self-sacrifice, and said yes. with her little caveat. just mentally grabbing him by the collar like "listen. i don't want you to kill yourself for your god. and i hope you don't want to kill me for your god. and if either happens i am going to kick your ass in hell when both of us get there"

#eternally fascinating to me how there was setup placed at the end of s2 for faulk's cycle to come to fruition in s3 - killing carp and #reconstructing it in his head as a good and necessary part of the prophet's legend #but now it's tipped more towards carpenter's cycle - watching another brother die for the same god #except there's a twist! because it's not religious self-sacrifice this time - just standard “not seeing a way out other than death” #and if he succeeds again... well... she did dream about a tree that one time. and a lot of dead people have been turning into trees lately. #wild if true. anyway #tsv #carp n faulk #brother faulkner #sister carpenter #eyeteeth speaks #siblings of all time i love them. mallory n richie 4ever.

This game is so pretty 🥹

#oneshot #oneshot game #this game had a huge influence on me while i was first learning to draw #its so melancholy but its so beautiful #encompasses the whole idea fleeting beauty #theres a read stain on the paper #its not blood #im sitting under a tree with some weird red berry things(?) and they keep falling off and hitting me in the head #i broke one and it got red all over my fingers #some got on the paper and now it looks like i died #but i didnt its just tree juice #also yes this is exactly where i learned to draw scarves the way i do #all of my drawings of ralsei have the part around his neck drawn the exact same way #this is why lol

help i cannot stop thinking about Anakin Skywalker as Sifo-Dyas' padawan

#the juxtaposition of seer/chosen one is something i can rotate in my mind all day #and this would be even funnier if i mafe this part of the same au where sifo gets talzin as his padawan #vecause imagine anakin and fucking TALZIN being padawan siblings #yeah #welcome to glimpses into my very strange mind #things to consider for the mud fic ig #gonna make that family tree even worse now #random boli thoughts #me writing #star wars

[paranoidgemsbok]

yeah

#analog horror arg thing but i had to pause and go complain on discord because they stated that poison oak is the same as tree of heaven #and oh my god its really not??? what ??? #is this like a misremembered thing on the creators part #like people call tree of heaven 'sumac' because it is visually similar to sumac #and theres poison sumac plants you need to look out for #so its like tree of heaven > sumac > poison sumac > poison oak ??? #thats the only path i can imagine here #but its taking everything i have to not comment on this video about it #yeah yeah yeah the nightmare grotesque speaking about the biblical end of all existence we've all seen it #someones spreading misinformation about plant identification though

I’m reading Good Omens again and thinking about how Crowley and Aziraphale aren’t really men and aren’t really humans etc. Then I started thinking about the sentiment that even if being queer was a choice, people would still choose to be queer and how Aziraphale choses to appear as a gay man. He choses to be the kind of person who gets called “the southern pansy”. That’s a choice that he made.

#gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. southern pansy. talking like a poofter. #good omens is FULL of people being derogatory towards aziraphale because they perceive him to be a gay man #and yet he doesn’t change #my own post #i think that’s why all the talk about how he was (and is) a gay auntie are so close to my heart #of course he would be! if you’re going to make the choice to be perceived as a gay man with all that entails why wouldn’t you take every #bay gay and struggling queer sibling under your wing? especially if you’re an angel #aziraphale is - at his core - a good person. a kind person. and he chooses to make the lgbtq+ community hos community #he makes that choice. and he sticks to it. there’s got to have been easier things to have done throughout history but no. #aziraphale is one of us because he chose to be. #and we can too. maybe you can’t choose your gender or sexuality but you can choose to be part of the community and you can choose to be out #and those are important decisions. big decisions. we always have choice and I’m so so proud of everyone who chooses to be here #that being said. quoting from bbc trigonometry- what you’re doing is brave as hell but it’s just as brave to walk away #it’s brave to be out. but it’s just as brave to be in. not in the same way no but it takes courage all the same #aziraphale #good omens

What do you mean “if I have an AU I want to make comics for, I actually have to make the designs and draw the comics???” Why can’t I just magically manifest them into existence??? Anyways, here’s some KevinSu fam and MobiKlein fam designs and concepts for a “Flame Chasers + whoever else is convenient for me get reborn into Genshin and slowly regain their memories from Honkai” AU

Mobius and Klein were Tanit scholars/doctors

(OG Klein is the one on the far left btw. I know I changed a lot of her design elements and I’m not sure how clear that is, so I’m just specifying here. Also, it’s on the side of her belt so idk how well y’all can see it, but she has a hydro vision)

They left the tribe pretty early on (if you’ve played that quest™️, you know why. If you don’t, I’m not gonna spoil it here)

They also left so Mobi could investigate the withering and see if it might have any connections to the Honkai/ see if there was any chance of the Honkai leaking into Teyvat

Klein never got her Honkai memories back, but she still fell in love with Mobi anyways and they’re still lab partners. Mobi got her memories back fairly early on

Klein got Eleazar, so they decided to move from the desert to Sumeru city to seek better medical treatment

She’s fine now and made it through the end of the arcon quest, so she got cured 👍

Mobi is a professor at the academia

Her students are terrified of her

So usual Mobius shenanigans

Being a professor also put her in a position where she’s closer to Irminsul, so she’s content with the situation

The matra know damn well she’s continuing her artificial life experiments, but they can’t prove shit so she’s in the clear

Alhaitham was the first successful clone baby she made, Klein jr was the second

The thing Elysia did to Su’s arm stuck through the reincarnation, so Su got his memories back very early on

He grew up on the same block as Fu Hua over in Liyue harbor, but she didn’t get her memories back until her late teens

Su grew up hearing a lot of stories about the chasm, and he was worried that it might have something to do with the Honkai

But he didn’t actually have the clearance to investigate that, so had to go to Sumeru Academia to get the research clearance only to find out about Eleazar and the Withering and get significantly more anxious

Imagine his face after being told he has to go through med school again lmao (at least there’s legitimately different illnesses and treatments in Teyvat, so he does have something new to learn)

Anyways, he ran into Mobi and Kevin at the Academia

Kevin grew up in Mondstad and got his memories back in his early 20s. He moved to Sumeru city because he thought it’d be the place with highest chance of him running into someone he knows so that they can explain wtf is going on

Kevin and Su got married somewhere along the way I guess, but that’s not important right now

Anyways, Mobius basically stole their genes off their clothes or something so she wouldn’t have to use any of Klein’s in the prototypes for her experiments

Alhaitham was the first successful artificial life she made and she just sorta handed him off to Kevin and Su and they both sorta just “aight, guess we have a kid now”

Mobius still got to be his grandma though and watched him a lot while Kevin and Su (well, Su mostly. Kevin was there more as a bodyguard) were off doing research in the chasm (which is why Alhaitham is the way he is)

#honkai impact #genshin impact #what this AU totally isn’t an excuse to point out signs that the Honkai is leaking into Genshin what are you talking about #this is a reminder that all Irminsul trees in Teyvat are connected and part of the same tree (read: the imaginary tree probably) #so I don’t want to see a single ‘um actually- none of this is related at all’ #especially since this is mostly me having fun with an AU fanfic #but ya interesting that the things plaguing Sumeru (a nation named after tech from Honkai) are withering and a disease that transforms peopl #this is a reminder that Honkai roughly translates to ‘decay’ #Klein: a girl so boobless and assless you could skip her like a prized stone #ya I ignore the canon models a lot and y’all are just gonna have to get use to that #no mantis genes here so Mobi and Klein are just old here #they’re both between 40-60 #Klein looks a bit older though cuz chronic illness is a bitch and ages you #I’d be so happy if I got any asks about this AU ngl #honkai su #kevin kaslana #alhaitham #honkai mobius #Honkai Klein

The King had mercy on me that loop, maybe he really is merciful after all... I didn't have to suffer much during his battle but I sure did suffer during Euphrasie's part, I really don't like how unsettling that one is. Freaky... Also sugary smell... Rotting... Aint plants have a sugary smell when they're wilting?

#ariaplays: isat #isat spoilers #i was doing feck all during that loop cuz i was mostly thinking on focusing on the quests for everyone so i didnt mind #if i got killed during the fight with the king so long as i get to do my quests with the new knowledge i got! but that it was also #nice to be able to win the king's fight and get to euphrasie even tho it got way more unsettling than the first encounter #she just repeated the same thing...... somehow that makes the scene creepier... is that even the real euphrasie? #also that rotting part... tbf i dont rlly know what kind of scent plants have when rotting i just remembered how its described #as sickly sweet from another game i played (that i keep forgetting to continue... whoopsies) #but what plants are there in the game? theres the favor tree... maybe that one is the one thats rotting?????

crumb was not born from chaos, necessarily. it is more accurate to say that she is chaos, or at least a very small part of it. chaos exists as a metaphysical concept, yes, but also as a physical one. it takes the shape of a rough, uncaring sea, constantly storming upon an endless ocean. crumb was once a part of that ocean. he was a droplet, or maybe a handful, at best, but he was still there. and he watched the universe’s birth from that very sea, as for long as there’s been creation, there’s been chaos, and as long as there’s been chaos, there’s been crumb. it took them millennium, eons, even, to gather enough energy to leave that sea of discord and find their way to the material world.

crumb was not the only one to branch off. dianite himself was once a part of the sea of chaos, before he decided to more directly involve himself with mortals. he was never fully able to detach himself from their source, becoming its ambassador and direct overseer for the human realm. he had left way before it, though, and had grown to total godhood by the time it was barely getting its bearings. she’s grown a lot, since then. learned a lot, too, both about the human world, and herself.

their origins had never left them, though, the roaring of their own wave continuously ringing in their ear, like a call beckoning them back home. so when they heard about a captain, a champion, a man who had traveled through more dimensions than anyone could possibly count, perhaps that’s why he peaked their curiosity so. perhaps that’s why it had to find him, to know his story, to have him take it in his adventures, if only to temporarily regain that feeling of home, and to truly appreciate this realm for all it had to offer, for all the universes it had to offer. captains were travelers of the sea, were they not?

#icarus speaks #not sorry for all the sparklez fam related brainrot. it will happen again #do u still think i’m hot #this complicates the family tree so much but idc LOL #bc that technically makes crumb and dianite. siblings? they were technically the same entity #but also not. part of the same quasi-hivemind #i am ignoring the s2 lore of the gods’ parents here btw bc i think that was Just a s2 thing #as isles had them have different parents. their origins definitely differ from universe to universe #and crumb’s universe happens to have had the chaos sea #take this as my interpretation of the ccrumb origin story ig lmao #dragonverse

I just had two dreams in quick succession that had me groggily coming out of them with tears in my eyes. Both of them centered around some symbol that was clearly of importance to me, but that I don't actually recognize. One I saved from its own guilt so I could embrace it again, and the other I tried to nurture back to health when she was on her last limb. Both dreams spoke to how much I cared about the figures in them— but I don't know that fox, I don't know that tree. Why did I want to reconnect with them so badly? Why did I want to save them so badly?

#I'm shaken #the last one was about the tree and i just transitioned out of the dream with tears *streaming* down my face #i was trying to replant it when it was barely even a shred of what it once was. just a section of its trunk i could hold in my hands #and i was receiving help from someone else who's opinion i valued. she didn't care that we were digging a hole in her yard #she knew it was important to me #i had so much history with that tree. it had clearly been in my life for a long time #same for the fox #he was represented first in the dream as a dog my grandparents used to have #but he didn't remember me #so i went on a journey to try and find the real him so i could talk to him #and when i found him he was this huge shadowy fox that wanted to hide from me #he actually sang? as i convinced him to let it go so i could hug him again #and the song was beautiful. a part of it is still echoing in my head as if it were real #but what does it all mean?

Ok so I need to rework my Wendy skilltree concept because klei heard ppl complain abt the combat and went alright then time to completely rework combat but very slowly one update at a time so no one realizes until we straight up give Willow spells

#rat rambles #starve posting #this is abt the new dst beta btw willow and wigfrid are getting skill trees #now I have complicated feelings on parts of their skill trees but this is a beta so Im fully expected attempted improvements at least #<- this is mostly abt the beefalo stuff on wigfrid's since it just feels. so out of place with the rest of her skill tree #but burnie desperately needs better buffs especially since youre required to take a lot of them for the lunar and shadow branches #I also have some complicated feelings on the direction theyre taking the comabt but at the same time it is a necessary change #but at the same time one thats only necessary because of them deciding to take a more boss heavy approach to game progression #basically this is their attemtp to get out of a whole they dug themsleves in #which means that as time goes on dst is becoming less and less of a survival game #which some ppl might like but its still a bit disappointing for a game that caught my interest because of the survival elements #its not terrible tho it just means that the devs have decided upon a new direction for their game to give it more heavy story elements #most of my main issues have come from how clumsy the change has been and how it very much means we're losing the original feel of the game #but original don't starve still exists so its not like I think its the end of the world that theyre differenciating the two more #anyways since the devs are clearly trying to make actual combat classes a thing within dst I think this completely recontextualises things #as in I have to throw all of my past predictions and expectations out the window and look over everyone again taking thin into account #since now theyve shown that theyre fully willing to make completely new mechanics for these skill trees including straight up magic #which reminds me god I hope they dont give wendy spells or some shit #I really really REALLY want wendy's skilltree to mostly focus on abby buffs and sisturn buffs #because if they dont thatll just completely fuck over wendy's whole playstyle and I desperately dont want abby to become obsolete #I also need them to give the sisturn actually good buffs like for the love of god pls its only worth anything in super early game #at Least make the boosted abby regen a worldwide buff it wouldn't even be worth using most the time still but itd be Something #also god Im so scared for walter skill tree. please have it not fall into the same trap as his base kit of being too all over the place #the wigfrid beefalo branch is what makes me worried since thats a very concept over function thing already #same with like. most of wormwoods skill trees #tbf they fixed at lot of the weird wormwood stuff and hopefully they'll fix the weird wigfrid stuff too #most of willow's problems just come from the bernie skills being too weak which is especially funny cause previously burnie was the only #notable stength willow has pre tree #I mean tbf burnie has always been the weaker support between him and abby (imo) so its not like hes been like amazing anyways #but willow is just such a nothing character that burnie is basically why you use her
