#And a clear vision in my mind

[artheresy]

I have not forgotten the draft regarding "How I would write Clouds Leave No Trace", it still lingers its still there

Im still thinking about how my least favorite parts are Yanqing's characterization, The way the world around Jingliu treats her like she's normal when clearly she's not, The way there's such an effort into putting Yingxing and Dan Feng on the same level of guilt for every single thing that it makes Blade's desire for revenge feel nonsensical and out of no where when he has good reason for it, The way that they don't do more to play up the HCQ's dynamic especially in the normal areas thus making caring about their tragedy a struggle if you haven't done all the "prerequisite reading" (even tho the quest should make the players care more and want to read instead of requiring the opposite), The way that they literally mention Bailu and Blade crossed paths but never show us that scene DESPITE all of the importance placed upon Baiheng and Yingxing's friendship, Did I mention My Massive Problems with my boy Yanqing's characterization in this quest versus what we see of how he's affected both before and after it?

Oh and of course, to mention Jing Yuan not really feeling like he has as much significance being in this quest despite being apart of the HCQ and Jingliu's disciple because yet again, they especially don't do enough to develop on screen (but also not enough in the readable text too) his connections to the rest of the HCQ (which in general if you ask me, makes it a lot harder to be that sad at the moments they clearly want us to feel sad for him over the HCQ)

I could go on and on about the problems of Hyv not fully giving the audience a reason to care for the HCQ's tragedy by the way they are barely shown on screen, shoving it all in readables and character stories and relic lore. Even their legends get barely any screen time to build up to when we hear about the fall out.

Also again, not kidding about Jingliu and the world's perception around her. She is described solely in the beginning as bringing a chill to the room, but she's clearly very intimidating, if you ask me she seems very clearly unstable as well and yet when they waltz around in a populated area with no attention getting drawn to them or suspicion or anything. I also call Massive Bullshit on Bailu being like "Wow but she seems so normal and kind, there's nothing about her at all that could make me think she's marastruck 😲!!" When if you ask me, that whole scene could have been used in a much more meaningful way to make a connection between Bailu and her resemblance to Baiheng Specifically in a way I will further elaborate on in my full post about it BUT YEAH Jingliu deserved so much better with this quest, so so much better

And even just small details get me like Jingliu leaving first from Scalegorge Waterscale, then Jing Yuan, Yanqing and Ren leaving? Like if you ask me, let Jingliu leave with Jing Yuan and Yanqing like they're escorting her (idc about any "She was already turning herself in!" There are a number of reasons to be cautious, not solely of her, and keep her in their view) and then talk to and have Ren leave last.

I am still thinking about it, that post still haunts me daily, I have grown to like the quest but my problems with it are so strong and so clear that it's like AHA I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT

#I have so many opinions on this quest #And a clear vision in my mind #I still don't know why it exists in its own little bubble #Why is Yanqing acting so odd in this quest but then goes right back to his normal consistent point of character regarding his failures afte #Also even with the argument of it being Jinglius biased words #Having NO mention of Dan Feng while talking about Yingxing's fate at all is wild and weird #Not even a “His stupidity and loyalty to you got him turned into a monster” kind of thing #Where it doesn't even have to be explicitly all the fault on Dan Feng but treating it like he wasn't at all involved in that transformation #It's crazy to me #But yeah uh #I bet if I wasn't obsessed with Blade and the HCQ #To the point of going through the readables and little quests with any mentions of them and their character stories #That I wouldn't be as emotional as I was during Clouds Leave No Trace because they really don't do enough to give reasons to care #The reason I cried for Blade when I played it is bc I read VotU knew what Baiheng meant to him & the ChrStr to know what they meant to him #The game should do more to tell us those kinds of things upfront if they want us to be more likely to have the reaction they seek #ALSO #NOT ENOUGH FLASHBACKS #SERIOUSLY ADD SOME MORE !!! #Even just snippets and add little lines and moments or views of the past overlaid on the prescent? #Hsr #Honkai star rail #Jingliu #Baiheng #Dan heng #Dan feng #Yanqing #Jing yuan #Yingxing #Hsr blade #high cloud quintet

Pairing: Shouto Todoroki x F!Reader

Summary: With the end of the Great War and his father’s death, Prince Shouto must find his and his kingdom’s place in a rapidly changing world. As a result, the Todoroki Kingdom has finally opened its doors to its neighbors after centuries of isolation. You see this as an opportunity to not only advance in your career as a lowly government aid but to also take advantage of the tropical island as your new office space.

However, with the nobility working to maintain their status quo, there’s another reason why it may be difficult for you and Shouto to achieve your goals – the prince seems to have misunderstood what sort of partnership you seek with him.

“I’m happy to hear that, Prince Shouto.” Your voice was even, not too disinterested and not too eager. “I look forward to our future together.” Your answer pleased him, and he replied, “Excellent. I was worried that my response was too casual for a marriage proposal, especially since I’m unfamiliar with the customs of the Republic. However, I do plan to formalize our betrothal according to the traditional rites of my nation.” For a second time, your mind replayed the way his mouth moved to say marriage, proposal and betrothal, his voice clear and steadfast. Marriage. Proposal. Betrothal.  Marriage. Proposal. Betrothal. Marriage. Proposal. Betrothal. Heat rose to your cheeks, mimicking the tropical sun. Worse than mishearing, you realized that there was a terrible, terrible misunderstanding between you and Shouto. You weren’t sure how to tell your superior that the fate between the two nations was unknown, but at least you knew that relations between the prince and yourself were solid.

please tell us everything you know about Kento’s parents

HAHAHH I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK ME THIS WHEN I POSTED ABOUT THAT THE OTHER DAY I WIN. IM SO SORRY ITS SO LONG.

ok so i feel like outwardly, kento's dad is a lot like him. like he's very unemotional, and is the kind of man who wouldn't smile very often & is veryyy serious about his work. his dad has a similar corporate/finance job to the one kento worked in, and dedicated very long hours. so kento didn't see him often when he was a child. i think, until he was older he kind of resented him for that, but he eventually realized that he was just doing the best he could to give his family a good life <3 his dad cares about his son more than kento realizes, they're just not the best at communicating with each other. but when i say this, his dad certainly isn't cruel at all! he pushed kento to be his best and was a little hard on him from time to time, but he was always understanding & did his best to support his son in all the ways he knew how.

as for kento's mom, she is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart. when you think of how a mom she be, i think she is the perfect image. kento got his love of cooking and food from her, and she raised him to be a very respectful young man <3 i think she's much more extroverted and talkative than kento and his dad, but she's very warm, and she's just as kind as him. he grew up in a very traditional family, but his parents are very very loving towards him and each other. their son is definitely the most important part of their lives. i feel like his danish granfather is on his mom's side, so that's where he get's his blonde hair!! & they take him to visit his family in denmark when they can, and make sure he feels in touch with both cultures and sides of his family.

TBH I HAVE SO MUCH I CAN SAY PLS bc i thought about this for so long the other day. but in short, kento has a very very good relationship with his parents now that he's an adult. for a while, though, it was a little strained bc of his decision to leave to become a sorcerer, and his parents didn't want him to do that. also kento tended to isolate himself a bit due to all the pressure he was under, which led them to worry about him very often. <3 they were pretty strict & a littleee overbearing when he was a kid, but once he became an adult, he realized that it was just out of love & fear that they might lose him, so he started to understand them better.

#this vision is so clear in my mind pls #໒꒱ rylie's angels #beloved kento 💋 ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

#I CANT STAND THE CONFUSION IN MY MIND #also i get why people wrote wanda/sylvie. they should go on a wholesome chick-flick revenge-quest together. and also they should kiss. #also i am now only *half* joking about thor being in love with mjolnir #it kept doing Christianity Bits which was quite awks. #not sure why it used the bit about building the church on a rock for some metal i mean wasn't jesus making a pun there? about peter? #i think Vision might be Jesus? or else he's Dr Manhattan who's done a first year philosophy course. could go either way on that tbh. #BUT TONY WAS THE BADDY RIGHT? WAS HE? WAS TONY THE BADDY OR NOT???? #with the homocidal glitches in what he thinks is his winning personality? #and all the weapons he's made and is in fact still making but now he only sells them to The Good Guys? #except look how easily they fall out with each other and also don't a lot of innocent bystanders die in their overly long action scenes? #also i need to write fic about whether mjolnir does in fact obey some unknown code that can be cracked if you set your mind to it #she does like Robot Jesus so apparently we can rely on her to make the major decisions from now on #the ending's a bit ominous - apparently someone's collecting those TVA paperweights to do... something? Oh no! :O #yeah i watched the MCU in the wrong order shut up this was inevitable and Marvisney should just embrace that at this point #(i know 'Marvisney' will never catch on but that will not stop me using it) #the loki series ending is but the latest installment of “unlimited power with no oversight is fine as long as the Good people have it” #UNLESS TONY WAS ACTUALLY THE BADDY. WHICH AS I MENTIONED I AM NOT AT ALL CLEAR ON. #maybe what i mean is was tony stark the baddy *on purpose*? #i only picked this one to watch next because tumblr gifsets told me thor wears a nice coat in it #which he does! but only for a small fraction of the film :( #journey into the mcu #the avengers (the marvel ones not the other ones)

just had a vision of an inquisition that focused on the mage/templar war and was heavily inspired by les mis and got so hard i got nauseous

#IT CAME OUT IN 2014. LES MIS WAS EXTRA RELEVANT THEN. WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL. #sorry watching it for xmas as usual. the vision is so clear on my mind...a doomed rebellion....

Textpost redraw that only works in a modern setting, so. I gave them silly outfits (and a little bit of lore!)

Some zoom ins on the illusts!

And Lore

Moe is like. A SHUT-IN shut-in. So in any modern setting that isn't "Hey wanna visit my hometown for a sec (events so far have followed canon at least loosely)", it would have to meet Alfonse under Extremely Specific Circumstances.

And finally! Textpost under cut!

#fire emblem #feh #I PUT. SO MUCH LOVE INTO THIS ACTUALLY IT'S INSANE. ESP FOR A TEXTPOST REDRAW LMFAOOO #the vision was so clear to me though. the vibe of the post (struggling). a catastrophic fall from grace. #the idea of alfonse venting about almost losing a social interaction. a performance slipping. #a setting where he isn't performing at all now. there is nothing to perform here bc moe. well. #also the visual. i am imagining a very specific nostalgic shitass swingset in my mind. #one that doesn't exist anymore actually bc they rebuilt it (probably for the best.) but that thing #would leave rust on your hands and arms and leave your ass blue. it sucked but it was awesome #the rust marks don't show up as clearly here unfortunately LMFAO so i had to point em out. #ALSO. I AM ACTUALLY SO INSANE ABOUT THEIR OUTFITS ACTUALLY. bc BOTH of them are hiding #alfonse is trying to blend in. pass as normal. moe is trying to distract you. but also desperately trying to communicate Something. #like do you wanna be seen or not little buddy (the answer is Yes.) #back to alfonse like if not 'normal' then at least 'put together'. will suffice. i think he's also beginning to loosen up here too tho #like. so at the beginning of it that he isn't Really LMFAOO but. he painted his nails black. just to try it. #it was also so fun to freehand the patterns... camo and argyle (the socks) (hardly noticeable but that's the intent!) #'beginning to loosen up' actually i think he's just starting to fall apart. #fe alfonse #moe tag #summoner oc #my art #my comics

what if all Star Wars fic took a note from canon and just put maul in there randomly. like you’re reading an obianidala or whatever the fuck and in the middle of the big wedding scene maul just crashes through the window and starts slaughtering. no explanation, no set-up, just an abrupt reminder that oh yeah, this fic is set in the series where nothing ever makes sense ever, and now the unhappy couple is finishing their vows while dueling a madman. and then he kidnaps the ring bearer (a mouse droid) and leaves and the fic resumes like that’s just a normal thing that happens here, because it is, because this is Star Wars. and it becomes such a meme that comment sections are full of readers speculating about what chapter the mauldrop will happen in. what if. the world would be a better place.

#walkie talkie. #this is nothing but the vision is so clear in my mind. #putting maul everywhere he shouldn’t be amuses me endlessly #medieval fantasy au? maul is the red knight lighting your village on fire #just. put him in there. he’s awful. #darth maul

AAAAA like honestly I really don’t care for tsugemina but I know they have a decent sized jp fanbase so I get the vol 12 sacrifice once again💔 but kurodachi as parents my God naina… I can see it so clearly like in my dream they’d be the sweetest most loving parents ever like in my dream it was weird cause it was little snippets? But I can just see it… adachi falling asleep with their baby girl already far into dreamland on his chest and kurosawa using every molecule of strength in his body not to start crying (53636 burst shots were taken), kurosawa buying matching pyjamas for all three of them (cherry print I’m sorry I’m a weak, weak person…), that classic moment of them laying together in bed ready to sleep, wedding photos framed prettily on the bedside, when all of a sudden the baby starts crying and they both make a move to get up but then one of them stops the other with a gentle hand with the ‘I’ve got it, rest yourself’ line oh I’m insane. Positively INSANE

ANON DO U HAVE ANY IDEA . HOW SEVERELY THIS ASK CHANGED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY.??? ive been thinking about ur scenarios all Day. i started thinking of whole ideas and hcs and everything head in hands i never knew krdc being parents could be this powerful...... im choosing to believe ur dreams are prophetic bc i need this to happen in canon so badly its not even funny . brb i need to send sensei a very tearful request letter

anyway thank u so much for this ask i drew u some la kurodadchi in return after taking some inspiration pls enjoy .......

#cherry magic #my art #my answer #IM THINKING SO MUCH IM GOING GALAXY BRAIN MODE!!!!!!! #likes theres already potential for a whole chara arc here im seeing it . my vision is Crystal Clear #smth smth adachi being good w kids on account of him being an older brother + just liking kids in general #meanwhile kurosawa doesnt like Hate kids or anything but he has no idea how to deal with them . also hes terrified of being a dad #going into hc territory here but i think a lot of kurosawas issues come from his moms expectations and anxieties abt his life #and he absolute Cannot deal with possibly turning out to be the same exact kind of parent . hence not wanting to be a dad at first #but after talking it through maybe he could see that he can actively work to be a better kind of parent and change his mind ......... Hehe #gonna be thinking abt this for the entire month now pls excuse me

[astrobei]

genuinely nothing more frustrating than getting an absolutely godly vision for something that can only be portrayed to its full glory in an art form in which you don’t have the necessary skills to create it

#if i try drawing this it will fall sooooooooooo flat #like the vision is so clear in my mind but the second i get a pencil in hand it’s gonna disappear #and i’m genuinely so upset like OUYGGHHHGGGGGG.GNGNGN #/astro posts
