“It's true that I was made for you…”

“All of these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am. But these stories don't mean anything, when you've got no one to tell them to…” (“The Story” by Sara Ramírez)

“Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi"…these are the words, which are engraved on the Mirror of Erised. Reading it reversed, it becomes "I show not your face but your heart's desire"…and damn, this sentence couldn’t be more true.

I caught myself countless times contemplating about this magical artefact…and I know exactly, what I would perceive in there. My desire would be divided into three different parts.

I would see Sevy and Jules in their last year at Hogwarts. They’re close to their graduation and their whole promising future is still ahead of them. They’ve found their soulmates in each other…with trust as deep as the sea and love as strong as death.

But when my life with Severus would be one of these three parts - and certainly the biggest one of all - what would the other two parts look like? Well, the answer to this question is an easy one: They’re young…and they’re healthy. And yes, this might sound pathetically stupid, but I’m mourning my youth and I’m definitely drowning in grief over a life in health.

Maybe it’s just some random appearance of a midlife crisis, since I’ll turn 40 this year, but I’d do so many things differently if I could turn back time. And as the most important thing, I would advise my younger self to be more gentle, more lovingly with herself. You can’t save everyone around you…so turn your back on those people, whose only purpose is to hurt you by taking advantage of your good heart…and save yourself! Love yourself! Allow yourself the same amount of love, which you’re willing to offer to others. You are worthy of love, respect and happiness! I’d say the same things to Severus, so I guess, this connection is the reason for my special soft spot for his younger self.

For those of you, who know my previous posts, I don’t have to explain my wish for health. To put it briefly: ME/CFS is a cruel bitch! This disease has destroyed my life and made my entire existence a nightmare. I don’t want to go into detail this time….my former posts have been whiny enough and I don’t want to bother anyone with my misery.

For this stunning artwork of my actual self, longing for my deepest desires in front of the Mirror of Erised, I only wanted one particular artist to make my dream come true. @sleepybradipo, you have outdone yourself with this heart wrenching piece of art! When I had this idea in my mind, I just knew, that I wanted to see it in your unique, tender style. Your kindness and your love for details - like the little tattoo on my ring finger - have brought me some soothing warmth and comfort to my troubled heart and soul. Thank you for every message, for every sweet word and for the way, you’ve let me participate in the process of creating this beautiful drawing. You’re a gem of a human soul, my dear. 🫂🥹

Oh, and take a look at my very own Mirror of Erised. Who’s making his appearance in there? 😍 It has always been him…since 21 years, it’s only Severus. Undeniably. Unconditionally. Always. 🖤

🖤Severus & Julia🖤

🖤Sevy & Jules🖤

DRV3 Exlibrium AU introduction

Exlibrium (Экслибриум) is an urban fantasy comic book series published by Bubble Comics about the adventures of a young girl named Lilia Romanova who accidentally becomes part of the Order of Book Sorcerers (official translated name is Bookwizards but it sounded kinda funny so i call them Book Sorcerers).

The comics are great. They’re written very well, the characters are all cool and interesting and the art styles (there are several artists working on the series, and they switch from time to time) are simply amaising. But keep in mind that those comics can get pretty dark at times (and contain horror elements).

I really like this series (actually I like a lot of Bubble comic series) and recently I got an idea for a DRV3 AU. This AU doesn’t really follow the plot of the series, but the world building and lore are cool, so I thought it might be cool to expore the situations that DRV3 cast might find themselves in.

While technically I could explore the possibility that they are all fictional characters and what might happen to them then, I prefer to just leave them as Book Sorcerers fighting with runaway characters.

Now, I’m gonna expain about the main information about this AU. Obviously there will be some spoilers for the comic.

(Most of this part was taken from the wiki page)

The duty of the Order is to protect the boundaries between the real world and the world of fiction. Their main task is to catch literary characters who have escaped from their books and who are causing damage to the real world due to mutations of their body, caused by their presence in our objective reality.

The Order of Book Sorcerers owns Libraries, which are used as headquarters, as well as training places for new mages. Every Library has its administrator, who is similar to the school principal, and tutors. All Libraries obey the council of the Order, called the Circle. The Circle includes four people and an equal number of senior Shadows of the Library (a special kind, more intelligent and powerful than their smaller colleagues). Together, the participants of the Circle solve global problems of the Libraries crisis.

Every ordinary person can become a Book Sorcerer, after being infected by literary ink from awoken books. However, a person affected by the ink begins to attract the attention of "mad" books that spit out everything they have inside into the real world. The infected person must go through initiation in the House of Bones, which is an astral place, where shadow-like creatures live.

(Picture from the comic)

If the shadows take over, the ink absorbs the person and they become a Shadow of the Library, a little phantom creature, serving the Book Sorcerers. In that case they will be forgotten by anyone who ever knew them before transformation (except Book Sorcerers).

Shadows of the Library

If the person takes over, then they gain the ability to control the ink inside of them. During the initiation, the ink color is also being defined, which affects the supernatural abilities that Book Sorcerer obtains.

Going through the House of Bones

There are ten colors in total: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gray, black, and white (the last two are called "monochrome colors" and are special and extremely rare) and their shades. With the help of the first 8 colors, Book Sorcerers can influence the subjective reality of books in various ways, while black and white let their owners control our reality, opening up perspectives to limitless possibilities (the abilities of both can only be used together with the opposite color, which means that two sorcerers are required to activate them; they can't be used separately).

Warm spectrum: Attack

Cold spectrum: Defence, influencing the battlefield

It is technically possible to go through the House of Bones several times to get other colors, but this is rarely done because it is very risky (and going through the House is a rather nasty and painful process overall).

Persons color represented by Exlibrium — something like a magical tattoo that appears where the ink has settled after infection — after successfully going through the House of Bones. Exlibriums are used to seal the books.

(I decided to use their former high school emblems as Exlibriums)

Colors often connected to personality. All colors have their element and their power.

(I tried my best to get more information, but a lot of what is written below are just my observations and guesses based on what I saw in comics)

Colors

Red — fire. Attack (fire and explosions). Traits: Hot-tempered, passionate

Orange — sand(?). Attack (high durability low mobility, can be used as defence). Traits: ?

Yellow — light. Attack (glow, destructive rays of light). Traits: Anxious, nervous

Green — plants(?). Defence (healing, buffing abilities). Traits: Calm, collected

Cyan — air. Defence (speed, flight). Traits: Energetic??

Blue — water. Defence (capture, invisibility, disguise). Traits: Calm, kind?

Purple — ? Neither attack nor defence (is inbetween cold and warm spectrum). Abilities: freezing creatures and objects in time, stopping time. Also some kind of conceptual (?) magic like being able to share damage between two people. Traits: ?

Only members of one family are allowed to have purple ink.

There were also characters with turquoise and pink ink. Probably those are variations of cyan and red (?) respecively. Turquoise ink allowes to create portal doors.

Monochrome

Owning monochrome colors are prohibited, all owners are killed.

Grey — stone. Defence (kinda like orange but even more defence and durability and not a lot of damage). Can be reluctanlty allowed but owners are under constant pressure

White — absolute light. Creation and destruction (only with black)

Black — absolute darkness. Creation and destruction (only with white)

Characters

Kaede Akamatsu — Purple (from family). Control (time manipulation, support) Exlibrium: chest

Shuichi Saihara — Yellow. Attack (light bullets) Exlibrium: right arm

Maki Harukawa — Red. Attack (crossbow) Exlibrium: shoulders

Kaito Momota — Red. Attack (fire, exposions) Exlibrium: fists

Kokichi Ouma — Purple* Control (time manipulation, support) Exlibrium: back

Gonta Gokuhara — Yellow. Attack (swarms of insects) Exlibrium: hands and arms

Ryoma Hoshi — Cyan. Defence (speed) Exlibrium: legs

Kirumi Tojo — Green. Defence (healing, buffing abilities) Exlibrium: throat

Tsumugi Shirogane — Blue. Defence (invisibility, disguise) Exlibrium: left eye

Rantaro Amami — Blue. Defence (lasso, some expedition equipment?) Exlibrium: chest

Korekiyo Shinguji — Green? Defence (healing, buffing abilities) Exlibrium: neck

Angie Yonaga — Orange. Attack (divine punishment, sculptures as shields or weapons?) Exlibrium: Belly

Tenko Chabashira — Cyan. Defence (flight?) Exlibrium: back

Himiko Yumeno — Orange. Attack (magic cards) Exlibrium: legs

Miu Iruma — Yellow. Attack (bombs+electrohammers or laser guns?) Exlibrium: Belly

K1-B0 — Character assigned to the library

*owns illegaly. Officially owns a different color

Red: Kaito, Maki

Orange: Himiko, Angie?

Yellow: Shuichi, Gonta, Miu

Green: Kirumi, Korekiyo?

Cyan: Ryoma, Tenko

Blue: Shirogane, Rantaro?

Purple: Kaede, Kokichi*

And now more clear explaination from me about what exactly Book Sorcerers do.

Every once in a while some characters from books may regain consciousness and try to leave the book. By doing this, they make the book "mad". Because if the book’s plot doesn’t go the way it’s supposted to, more characters start going insane and the book will “spit them out” into reality in hopes that they will bring back the escaped characters. When characters (and the books, since they’re directly connected) go insane, they start mutating. Usually it starts like appearance of extra eyes and limbs, but can deform bodies even more. In the most severe cases all characters can even be combined into one deformed mass. With each cycle the plot can’t go the way it’s supposted to, the book and the characters are getting more and more crazy. The shorter the book, the faster this happens.

Character going crazy

In order to stop that Book Sorcerers have to “feed” the characters to the book and then seal that book with their Exlibrium. After this characters can’t run away from their book (until they somehow gain consciousness and escape again), and when the book cycle starts again, they forget everything about what happened and go back to following the plot. If a character dies (not according to the plot of the book) Book Sorcerers have to rewrite them again using their own ink (+ remaining ink of the character), which is very draining and require a lot of energy. If a book can’t be saved, it may have to be destroyed, but this is very bad so it can’t be done unless it’s REALLY necessary.

Books go insane not only when they’re missing something important, but also when something foreign gets inside them (like a character from different book or even Sorcerers themselves if they are not careful).

Normal people don’t see unusual looking characters and powers of Book Sorcerers because of a phenomenon called “false blindness”. It prevents people from going insane every time they encounter something that doesn’t fit into their idea of normal reality. Therefore, unless they are exposed to magical things for a long time or interact with them directly, they will not be able to see anything like that, even if it’s right in front of them.

It’s also important to note that fictional magic, both from characters and from the Sorcerers, can’t affect the material world and regular people. But it can affect everything influenced by ink (namely books, characters and sorcerers themselves).

Every library has an assigned character that belongs to the library administrator or just someone who is in charge of supervising the initiation. This character “awakens” the ink that the person has been infected with to start the initiation process. It’s a rather painful but necessary procedure. During this, the infected person is firmly fixated in the chair, because while consciousness is in the House of Bones, the body can behave unpredictably, and the chair prevents the person from hurting themselves or others (or at least it is meant to).

In this AU, the administrator of their library is Makoto, and Kiibo is a character he wrote, but Naegi is away so for now Hajime looks after the library.

Most of the time, Book Sorcerers use their ink’s “basic” abilities, but in some situations it’s not enough. In that case they can use glyphs (for example, healing and buffing abilities require making glyphs). The problem is that this is difficult to do in the heat of battle. So more often they prepare some most frequently used glyphs beforehand and carry them with them.

There are also special pens that are used for more powerful magic. Without them Sorcerers still have powers but they are a slightly weaker and more limited.

I’m not going to involve monochrome sorcerers in events of this AU because it’s a really complex topic and I don't want to go into it here. This AU is mainly just for the shenanigans of DRV3 cast. There’s gonna be enough drama and angst even without monochromes.

I think that’s all, at least for now. I also tried to avoid spoilers in my explaination, but I might later explain some things a bit more. If you have any questions about this AU (about characters, about mechanics, about AU in general, etc.), feel free to ask! I already have some things I wanna expain and draw, so I will definetly show more of this AU.

I already wrote a little introduction with some extra information about characters. I'll post it tomorrow👀

I was having one of my usual artist crisis a couple of days ago and I felt so desperate that I didn’t know how to make digital art at all while being quite good at it if traditional, so desperate that I ACTUALLY stopped crying and drew SOMETHING COMPLETLY FROM SCRATCH on procreate because I really can’t keep whining about not knowing how to make digital art if I’m not even trying. So I drew Astarion. Btw I know this sketch is unclean and messy as hell I wanna make a disclaimer that my usual style isn’t this messy but as I said this is basically my first ever digital drawing I made from scratch after middle school….

Across the Spiderverse Review

Okay! I will preface this saying, I want to see it a second time because there was SO MUCH STUFF, and it was beautiful and amazing and I just think there was so much detail in all of it that I need another watch so I can absorb what I missed in this pass. That being said, this will mostly be a stream of consciousness kind of thing but I will try to keep it into pros and cons. Naturally, there are **SPOILERS** here.

I’m going to start with cons because there were so few and I want to end on a good note.

Con #1: We start with Gwen’s story. I came to see Miles Morales. The last movie we spent a lot of time with Peter too, and I just don’t like that Mile’s really interesting story is split between these secondary, less interesting, white characters. Miles is going through this huge crisis of identity, and I’m wasting time sitting here watching Gwen lamenting her own issues, only for her to turn around and betray Miles the way she did? Pass. I’m not interested in Gwen’s interiority, I don’t care how much she’s struggling with trying to do the right thing or whatever. This is Miles’ story. Let me get into Miles’ interiority. I felt like most of the time we were watching Miles instead of getting into Miles’ head, and going through those rollercoaster of emotions with him, and watching him struggle. Gwen gets a voice over about herself, her life, her best friend Peter, a LOT about Peter and a little of her friendship with Miles, Miles’ voice over is weighed down by his feelings about Gwen and rehashing what we already know. Like, a whole sketchbook full of Gwen? Really? Ugh.

Now onto the pros:

Art Pros: This movie is fucking beautiful.

I LOVE that every universe has its own design style, and I LOVED how they made sure every web slinger had his own way of slanging them webs. Such amazing detail. I saw a storyboarder on twitter talking about how his approach with Gwen, since the note was that she be more like a ballerina, was having Gwen swing like a gymnast and use banned gymnastic moves in her webslinging. LOVE.

I found out from a friend that Miles is animated on 2s and Miguel is animated on 1s and some other characters animated on 3s and 4s and that means nothing to you if you aren’t in animation, but again, the care and detail? Miguel being animated on 1s means his movements will be sharp, precise, piercing and fast. Which sums up his personality (barring the unhinged element). Miles being animated on 2s, how we normally would animate classically, means exactly that. I just think that’s SO WONDERFUL. *full geek out mode*

I’m OBSESSED with the fact that you can see Spot’s construction lines??

I geeked out SO HARD when I saw these because it’s SO cool and fun, and construction lines are something you usually hide, so to include it I was like...oh this is ART art.

This kind of animation????

The bowed legs, the reach in and wiggle?!?! The wiggle!?!??! THIS children, is what we call character animation.

His hand just...flopping off the shelf? The impact of his weight as he leans on the shelf? GUYS. GUUUUUYSSSSS.

These are small details but oh my god do they elevate a scene. These animators deserve ALL the awards.

Hobie. Now Hobie...he’s gonna be in both story and art. Because omfg.

When I found out he needed a hidden secret rig underneath his actual rig, before I saw the movie, I was like...why on EARTH would you do that? And then I saw the movie and was like...oh. YEAH. Sometimes you do that. And the results? Fucking phenomenal. Hobie said he was inconsistent and his style kept changing. BRILLIANT STUFF.

I love a tasteful meme jokey joke.

Okay! I have to cut myself off, onto story pros:

I love that Mile’s crisis of identity isn’t just rooted in his being spiderman and Miles. His mother being APPALLED he has a B in spanish, and then trying to talk to him in spanish and not just spanglish was such a nice additional layer to everything else going on with him. I love that when he finally works up the courage to tell his mother he’s Spiderman, he’s in the wrong universe (which I’ll get to).

Miles wanting SO badly to be a part of something, and then finding out there’s a whole universe of spider folks, and just the successive disappointments in Gwen as he found out more information was good. I also like that because he wants so badly to be involved, he’s not being critical, and it’s Hobie who keeps trying to help him gain some perspective despite him being jealous over stupid Gwen.

I love that Hobie says, I hate the AM and the PM (I did NOT catch that the first time! Hahaha brilliant). Him stealing throughout the fight over the collider? Then seeing the pay off later with Gwen? AMAZING. Him quitting when shit hits the fan? Perfect. Hobie is a fave.

THIS moment.

The fact that when Miles finally figures out that Miguel means for him to let his canon event of his father dying go through without interruption, and decides he doesn’t actually want to be a part of this new crew, it’s Hobie’s advice and Spider Byte’s choosing to not stop the machine, that helps him. After the serious disappointment of the white people around him, it’s Black people he just meets that step up to the plate to support him, young Black people on top of it. That wasn’t an accident and is a very typical experience. I am already shipping him and Spider Byte and i NEED that to be a thing in the final movie.

I actually really like the idea that Miguel is a villain. He’s so rigid in his thinking, and so myopic, he refuses to see there’s any other way to do things. So while he thinks he’s the good guy, and is leading the good guys, he’s leading them astray, and I think it really speaks to how sometimes you can live long enough to see yourself become a villain and have to stay constantly vigilant and interrogate yourself a lot and not be closed to a new way of doing things, like Miles. MAN did that fight scene where he rips Miles to shreds about being an anomaly HURT. So good.

Miles’ father struggling to relate to him, only for us to realize that he has a bigger impact on Miles than we think, especially with the way it seems like Miles is pushing him away. But then, we meet, fucking PROWLER MILES?!?! SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

I noticed right away, when Prowler!Miles started talking and the way he rolled his Rs, even how he’s wearing his hair. With his father gone, Miles’ mother’s influence on him culturally is very clear. Not a bad thing, just a beautiful detail. His uncle’s influence on him leads him to be the prowler, where his dad kept him on the straight and narrow. I LOVE THAT. I love the possibility that Miles meeting himself in this other universe could solidify for him that saving his father is the right thing to do, the necessary thing to do. Or it could shake his confidence. I guess we’ll find out.

Miles being sent to another universe was SO FUN. They’re very clear this machine uses your DNA to send you where you belong!! Why did it send him there? The theory that it’s because the spider that bit him was from another universe and that it altered his DNA so he ends up here, and I think that’s a salient theory and I love that idea. I think it’s so perfect and thorough.

I loved that there were so many little moments in this movie that were subtle, but making a clear, progressive statement. This movie was so CLEARLY made by artists, for artists, but also for fans, for the average movie goer, and people who just like good stories. To be able to fold all that in together is amazing and fantastic, and there’s more I’d like to say but this post is already really long and I’ll be seeing it again and will be gushing about it then too. But if you haven’t seen it, or are on the fence, SEE THIS DAMN MOVIE.

1500/10

So, the summary of art is here! And 2022 has been yet another hell of a year. I'm very pleased with how my art went this time around, despite having gone through several art crisis and being in the middle of figuring out a new style of sorts. I finally got back to doing more painted style drawings, and I have a defined process figured out! Also, I've been doing a lot of references and character design stuff this year, which is something I really wanted to do. The start of the year here was a bit weak though, and the first picture was actually made on a friend's tablet since I wasn't home!

In that sense, 2022 has been a really wild year life-wise. I ran from home due to abuse, ended up two months at @boociforme 's, then I moved with my partner. The situation in this new place hasn't been too great either because their parents are equally abusive, but we're looking forward to moving soon enough, and I'll be starting freelancing (and opening commissions!) very soon. On a lighter note, I finally ended my degree this year officially, so I'm an Audiovisuals and Transmedia graduate now!

Here's hoping that 2023 will be a bit nicer at last. And finally, I want to thank everyone who has been around for this journey, it's been rocky but hopefully things will be improving very soon!

Houston Profile Picture

Just wanted to draw a simple picture of Houston, wearing a blue bow. If you couldn’t tell, I absolutely love drawing her!

Random side note on the topic of fanart, I absolutely love every piece that I have gotten. But I’m not going to lie, I wish people were a little bit more accurate, mostly in regards to how nose has continually been made brown when she has a black nose. I understand people have different art styles and I’m fine with that, it’s just a personal preference for Houston to be drawn with a black nose and no muzzle dots. Especially since I almost was about to redesign her because of the fanart, which as someone who’s experienced many art crisis moments it doesn’t feel great.

I don’t mean to put anyone down, again I love every piece of art that people have drawn for me. And actually I love that everybody draws Houston with a bow, that’s definitely I can do! Again I hope you guys understand, you guys are allowed to draw Houston, just know my preferences for how she’s drawn.

So I guess I’m liveblogging my reread now, and this ended up being a thing AFTER I've hit Chapter 10 of Mirror Dance, but whatever.

Mirror Dance, Page 4:

Lord Vorkosigan pretended to be Admiral Naismith. And so did he. What, after all, was the difference?

But what is your name really?

His vision darkened in a rush of despair, and rage.

I’d forgotten that Mark is in fact having existential crises at the idea of having an identity outside of being Miles Vorkosigan(‘s clone impersonating him,) somehow, when I'd previously brought up he was giving Mark an identity crisis. I have no idea how I forgot this fact. Mirror Dance is about Mark having an existential crisis. But I think what I forgot is that it's not until Miles shows up to save his ass, and dies, that Mark's willing to think of himself as Mark.

His first three chapters, he's just "he" in his own narration (and since he's impersonating Miles, can't say he's the clone anyway) and dodging the thought of being anyone. Chapter six, Miles shows up, Miles immediately starts taking control of the situation as much as it can be salvaged, Miles points out that if you'd hired the Dendarii outright, Mark, they would've made sure whatever plan they went with WOULDN'T have gone so thoroughly to shit, Miles dies, all from his POV. We go back to Mark's POV at basically that exact second, getting spattered with blood, and the first sentence calls him Mark. Either Miles showing up and going into Big Brother Mode or the trauma of the raid finally gets him willing to think of himself as Mark.

Breaking chronological order in favor of similarities, Page 6:

His resentment boiled up behind his eyes like sinus pain. All this bloody hero-worship, or whatever it was. All for Naismith. For Naismith, and not for me… never for me…

Meanwhile, the actual Miles: *Has the same thought process whenever he has to be Lord Vorkosigan.* Once again, if Mark hadn't been QUITE so caught up in the sibling rivalry, they'd have a LOT to bond over at this point. Which is part of the tragedy of this all.

Page 4:

… See Miles. See Miles run. See Miles get what he deserves.

I mean, as this is a reread… if your plan had gone off without a hitch, Mark, this would be pretty damn near Milesian Shenanigans, yeah. Miles would definitely deserve someone pulling those on him. But Milesian Shenanigans are dangerous even for experienced Vorkosigans, and you are not yet an Experienced Vorkosigan in the art of schemes and shenanigans. For a start, you don't yet realize how much the covert raid and abduction is NOT your style of scheme.

Page 6:

He could always tell, instantly, when someone he met thought they were facing “Naismith.” They all had that same stupid hyper-alert glow in their faces. They weren’t all worshipful; he’d met some of Naismith’s enemies once, but worshipful or homicidal, they reacted. As if they suddenly switched on, and became ten times more alive than ever before. How the hell did he do it? Make people light up like that? Granted, Naismith was a goddamn hyperactive, but how did he make it so freaking contagious?

… You know, Mark, when you put it that way, I guess the whole “start a cult of personality to stage a mass prison escape” thing isn’t all that unusual for Miles and is… basically what he did with the Dendarii, pretty much. Schemes so harebrained he forces you to start thinking like him just to keep up, and then you are unfortunately Thinking Like Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. A very dangerous habit.

#i guess this is a vorkosigan saga liveblog now #vorkosigan saga #mirror dance #mark pierre vorkosigan #miles naismith vorkosigan #not appearing onscreen but that is a really good summary of Miles Milesing at the end

TODAY’S EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Koku you amethyst time!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 And it’s apparently the moment that the show’s staff have been waiting for just as eagerly as I have because it’s the best looking episode not just of this season but maybe… of the entire series since its inception…????!! I genuinely can’t think of another one that has Multiple dedicated cuts of detailed action in a row like the sequence from kyou kai snapping on the mountain road to the encounter between shin and kyou kai + rai do and koku’ou at kan ki’s camp, and certainly not one anywhere near as good looking, it’s such a treat…!!!!!!!

[quick aside, before I forget I want to add that rai do is addressing shin as ‘obocchan’ in the last cap above :DDD truly the gift that keeps on giving]

And anyways that’s without even touching on how good this sequence would be regardless of looks because it’s still Amethyst Plot time 🥰❤️💞❣️💓💍💘 Bi hei giving in to peer pressure in just the kind of moment of weakness that you can’t actually detest him for (of course you would want to believe him when he tells you it wasn’t a civilian village..), kyou kai absolutely fucking snapping, the cool head ten maintains between trying to hold shin back and immediately pivoting the hi shin unit to a defensive formation for the real possibility that shin and kyou kai actually start pvp against the kan ki army , and of course shin and kan ki putting their cards on the table :)))))

^ my favourite panel of him ever now animated!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 and my favourite moment in the exchange between them, shin’s is still yet to come (I think all his talk in this week’s episode about kan ki not being equipped to handle sei’s dream of unification *is* sweet and sincere but it’s also dumb and that’s why kan ki is able to refute him so easily; the point that really matters and where his moral stance becomes unassailable, for me, is in the fact that it’s all for hyou’s sake. there’s no counter-argument about what you may or may not be turning a blind eye to there, it’s the mandate made absolute and incorruptible instead…) but this is maybe my favourite line of kan ki’s ever… he’s just following through on the promise he made you; these are the rules you agreed to play by! 🥰🥰🥰 i don’t even need to go into the premium emycore aspect of ever part of this sequence lol, the indulgence of it all…

also I was pleasantly surprised to see that they preserved just about all all of the gore from the scenes covered in this week’s scenes; there are some minor changes (the zhao soldiers kan ki is having the saki clan interrogate early in the episode are shown a little less mutilated than they are in the manga, and there’s no nudity) but they really are minor which bodes pretty well for the saki clan artworks coming up soon :~) I think there’s a chance we might not see that scene until the week after next since next episode’s primary focus will of course be Bi Hei And The Hi Shin Unit as per the ep title, but i’m so curious to see what they do with it since the anime has *always* omitted saki and saki-adjacent activities in the past. but I won’t get ahead of myself when we still have all of bi hei’s crisis to savour first :D

also, in shin’s speech telling kan ki off, we got a little additional visual of ran dou from sanyou campaign! always on the lookout for scenes from s1-2 appearing in flashback in the current art style <3

and i really had forgotten what he looked like lol even though this is another scene I absolutely adore for similar reasons to the one in the camp in this episode - though there’s no mou ten around to step in and defend shin this time, of course… :)

#not to go to bat for a really worthless minor character for a second here but ran dou looks cool actually #like really good-looking in the context of the type of guy he is anyways. sorry lol #I reread a little sanyou looking for his original scene but I can’t start talking about that arc proper now or I’ll never stop lol. anyways #hey if this season is still 2 cours we’re only a few weeks away from seeing mou ten in his winter outfit!!!!!!#the prettiest any character has ever looked in the entire series I love him so much 🥰#kingdomposting #txt #really really can’t overstate how good this episode looked we are SO LUCKY #also so many kan ki lines that i couldnt cap for this post for the sake of Appearances but are just. highest concentration premium emy #the scene where he’s sitting on the table at the camp!!!!!!!! agghfhgbgbf #you know how it is with mountain bandits…#also unrelated but. I won’t hold ten’s stupid comments about prisoners of war in coalition arc against her here #but obviously the events here Did make me think about them and they Are still stupid lol

2023 Book Round-Up

This is going to be a quick list of some of my favorite books that I read this year. These aren’t books that necessarily came out in 2023 and they’re not in any particular order.

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone OK, this one is in a particular order. It’s my favorite. I read this book twice this year, the first time based on the recommendation of that tweet a lot of people saw. I found it beautiful, and as someone who wants to eventually publish novels, very inspiring. The application of the epistolary style to its sci-fi concept (it is actually set in a time war) made for a compelling and unique feel to the book. The prose were absolutely gorgeous. The way the characters were human and the way they were inhuman was perfect. All of it got me thinking about how my own writing could reach further than I'd considered before.

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir I also read and really enjoyed Nona the Ninth this year, but Harrow was my favorite. The mystery of it all, the intense necromancer action, and the angst all adds up to the perfect Locked Tomb book. And the payoff at the end is so good.

On the Beach by Nevil Shute I read this after watching Jacob Geller’s Art in the Pre-Apocalypse video, and this is the write up that will end up feeling the least like a recommendation. This book messed me up. I read it while fall was tumbling towards winter in the often dreary Pacific Northwest (of the US). This book made me feel like the world was ending. I became immersed in the state of living life while the end drifted closer to the point I kind of started to believe it in real life. I certainly found it compelling in its restrained doom.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers This one is also in a particular order because I read it right after On the Beach and it plucked me right out of my funk. Where the previous book left me feeling like precious few moments were slipping away from me, A Psalm for the Wild-Built said it was OK to just be. This is a beautiful solar punk novella as is its sequel, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. It presents a possibility for a better world while giving a glimpse into the pathways we can take as individuals to move towards something better (while acknowledging that big changes need to take place on a macro level).

The Difference Engine by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson I tried reading this a long time ago because I was a fan of Gibson’s cyberpunk books and couldn’t get into it. I didn’t have that problem this year. Its steampunk London after the century-early arrival at the computer was very compelling. It fell prey to some tropes I’m not a huge fan of, namely that people in crisis will quickly resort to chaos and violence, but overall it was a story and setting that kept me reading all the way through this time.

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer What a book! I’m currently reading Authority, and I love this brand of weird sci-fi/horror. I watched the movie forever ago, but really enjoyed (and am enjoying) the story that's told in the books. The unraveling of the group and of the biologist was a great read, and it was fun to see cosmic horror in the modern age done really well. The mystery of it all was really the hook of the book, and the things it leaves unanswered was really fitting for the story.

Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King I finished the Dark Tower series this year, but this was my favorite. The doombot bad guys, the way it expanded on the lore, and the gunslinger action were all really cool. The characters were all operating at their peaks in this book, while dealing with some deep, dark secrets, and it felt like it held the best of all the things the series has to offer.

Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt What a harrowing, powerful, complicated haunted house story this is. I will say this book is not for the faint of heart (and comes with trigger warnings at the beginning of the book), but I was left at the end of the story with the distinct feeling I had read something that would stick with me for a long, long time. It gets into the complicated ways identities interact and the way fascism breeds in societies and individual hearts. There are long sections that slip into disturbing rambles that become less coherent as they go on, which is perfect within the tone of the book. The things that haunt the characters throughout the story add and help give traction to all of these other pieces.

#books #this is how you lose the time war #the locked tomb #harrow the ninth #dark tower #southern reach trilogy #monk and robot #tell me i'm worthless

2023 Self Check

Honestly, having an overall middling year where most of my troubles were my brain’s fault was kind of a breath of fresh air. Being out of commission for most of last year with a fucked up knee at least got me thankful every morning I can get up and walk around without a brace or cane. I don’t really agree with the doctors and my Dad that I’m “young” but I’m apparently still young enough I can heal. That said, I’m kind of let down in myself for letting depression and laziness get the best of me like, worse than usual this year. It hit kind of hard when sitting back and going through old archives of content and realizing that:

Sketch-A-Day was 2015 Eishi and Dixie was before that Revolver Knight ran from 2005-2008 or 2009

Meaning I’d basically failed to really deliver on any of the series/game/etc ideas I’d pitched from 2016 onward with the arguable exception of the dungeon crawler card game’s first version. If anyone was curious as to whether I’d touched on some of that stuff in the meantime the status of my Things right now is:

Angel Dust (The Gatty Thing)- Pretty much axed, as much as I love the character, it was kind of turning into edge for edge’s sake. The thing about Gatty Ling is I’ve had the idea of an erratic, destructive but adorable and well meaning character kicking around for ages but she’s kind of just a blank slate beyond those traits and I’ve tried to plunk her into like three completely unrelated settings with different origins. I was also attempting to kind of do a distinct art… sub…style with her stuff closer to a moe VN look, really pump up the cute to make the dark stuff pop, but well, Madoka already exists and the last iteration was basically Madoka with Robots. I probably wouldn’t rule it out forever but I’ve kind of been using some bits and pieces of the setting to flesh out the Plane Girls Thing

Revolver Knight Reload- I got like three pages into drawing a complete remake of my old webcomic, but kind of got cold feet from a combination of things. I didn’t think I was ready to take on another gigantic long form story, though I promise that the new version was *MUCH* more refined. Like Gatty, I wouldn’t say it’s *impossible* I mess with this, but I think I might look into something closer to a light novel with spot illustrations than a full on comic in the interest of like, finishing before I die.

Critical Heaven (The plane girl thing)- Still active, but having a bit of an identity crisis. It began as a ‘skirmish’ tabletop wargame then I got to thinking about it as more of a shmup-inspired duel game. The format of tabletop/print is also kind of iffy because I know people would be more likely to play it digitally and I have like, zip experience putting a substantial game project together. There’s also a more or less complete ‘campaign’ jotted half in my head and half in my notepad (putting it in a game with multiple endings would save me from deciding which ending to give it, hmmm.) But in short, yeah this is still being picked at.

Irrgarten (The Dungeon Card Thing)- I know I lead off with kind of the downer limbo thing but I’ve actually not totally abandoned this, definitely not the setting. Surprise, Radona is from this world! Really, I could probably bring this back pretty easily by revising the original game rules, the biggest issue we ran into play testing was that items didn’t ‘feel’ very valuable- characters were strong enough on their own not to need them. Maybe I can bump this up in priority.

There are probably other story ideas I’ve mentioned over the years and not followed up on, but characters from axed stuff do tend to surface in other projects if I’m attached enough to them. If there are any particular things that you enjoyed my work in or reading about in the past, do let me know. I’ve had a hard time motivating myself, so a nudge wouldn’t be a bad thing about now. Next year, I would really like to put more effort into having a regular “thing” to work on, maybe I’ll bring back some gag comics. Definitely plan to do more drawing in general because drawing one decent thing then going radio silent for two weeks leads to needing to de-rust like, every time. I’m a creature very vulnerable to inertia.

So, no promises here, but my goals going into 2024:

Put some time into practicing more ‘dynamic’ content like simple animation and game design since I have like three game making programs sitting around

Regular art posting, with a focus on improving quality and speed

Minding my health more since it’s easier to be active when there’s less of me to move

Establish a more regular streaming schedule since it helps me trim down my backlog

This kind of turned into more navel gazing than I had planned to be doing, but I thought this was a good time to touch base on some things since I’m back to posting here… well, okay, ‘regularly’ is a stretch, but there are a lot of things I’ve brought up before and not followed up on in a long time. If anyone has still been reading this- thank you, truly. I hope that with a bit more focus and less dwelling on the gnawing darkness in my gut, we can have some fun here again.

Oh, yeah, by the way- also been kicking around a top X games list I may get to posting soon, but may save for New Years Eve.

Dragon Ball Super 075

Yeah, okay.

So in this episode, Goku is bored. This is a running theme in Episodes 68-96, where the Zamasu Saga is over but the Tournament of Power has not begun. Normally they just skip the downtime and move on to the next arc, but Dragon Ball Super is built different, and just devoted a fourth of its episodes to dull filler episodes. This one’s okay, but I still don’t understand why we needed so many episodes about Goku being bored.

Anyway, Chi-Chi wants Goku to train. Yeah, you read that correctly. Goku’s so bored that Chi-Chi is worried about him being understimulated. The problem is that no one’s available to train with him. Whis is busy, Vegeta is busy, etc. So she calls in Gohan, who says he’s retired, but he’ll give it a shot. Wait, he’s training with Piccolo, though. Gohan still proposes Goten training with Goku instead, but Chi-Chi wants him to study, so that’s no go.

For some reason, Gohan feels the need to turn into Great Saiyaman for this, like he needs to be in a particular “mode” depending on what he’s doing. Goku doesn’t get it, but he’s not going to question it. Wait, is this why Gohan keeps saying he’s retired from fighting? Like he’s training with Piccolo and he was just in a fight in the last episode, but maybe he’s compartmentalized his life to the point where he refuses to acknowledge one role while playing another.

Like, I don’t want to make too much of this. It’s not like Gohan’s having some sort of psychological crisis here. It’s just that I think he feels that he shouldn’t fight while he’s wearing his “scholar” outfit, but he doesn’t want to switch to his “training with Piccolo” persona because Piccolo’s not here, and I’m starting to get the impression that he’s been keeping that a secret from everyone. Like, this seems to be how Gohan operates now.

Anyway, this seems to go well until their sparring wrecks the farm, so Goku has to come up with something else. Goten suggests Krillin, and that’s a good idea. Krillin is always a good idea, really.

Of course, Krillin is in the middle of shootout while doing his job as a cop. I like how the other cops have to dress like actual cops while Krillin wears his lime green and purple uniform.

During a heroic moment, Krillin saves a cop from gunfire but get shot in the arm for his trouble. Luckily, Goku shows up and bends all the bad guys’ guns, George Reeves style.

At first, Krillin isn’t eager to train with Goku, since he’s retired from fighting, and unlike Gohan, he’s sticking to that decision. Goku points out that he helped out against Golden Frieza, but that was only because the fate of the world was at stake. Then 18 kind of shames him into going along with Goku’s plan, and Marron says she wants a “strong daddy”. Kind of laying it on thick, aren’t we? Well, it works, anyway.

To be fair to 18, Krillin kind of needed a kick in the pants. As he says to Goku, he shouldn’t have gotten hit with that bullet at all, and he needs to get back into shape if he’s going to pull those kinds of heroics on the job. This isn’t like when Yamcha became a pro ball player and could coast on his skills through the entire season. Krillin’s job involves apprehending dangerous criminals who want to kill him. He can’t “retire” from martial arts and then use martial arts to execute his duties. Eventually, they decide the best thing to do is seek training from Master Roshi, and just go completely old school with this.

Roshi isn’t sure he can do much for either of them, but he gives it a shot. First up, he has Krillin spar with Goku while Goku wears a weighted turtle costume. I’m not going to ask where Roshi got this or why he has it in his house. He’s not trying to watch teenagers poop, so I’ll deal with this.

And their match seems to go okay, but Krillin isn’t getting much out of it. His problem is more mental than anything else. As Roshi puts it, Krillin is frustrated with himself for falling behind, and the harder he tries, the more frustrated he becomes.

The next morning, Roshi assigns Goku and Krillin to go on a fetchquest for... whatever plant this is. Make your own weed joke here.

It’s a race, and he promises the winner a rare girly mag from his collection. Goku and Krillin aren’t interested, since they’re both married to hot milfs in their area. Also, why does the “rarity” matter? They’ve been making naked ladies for a long, long time. I mean, if you’re a collector like Roshi, I’m sure there’s certain models and photographers he prefers, but how would anyone else appreciate that?

You know, the art direction on this episode is pretty incredible. This is a goofy scene but the backgrounds look like something out of the Lion King or what have you.

So they fly to this weird island, and they meet Fortuneteller Baba there, because she’s got some role to play in this. Actually, I think she’s just supposed to use her crystal ball so Roshi can monitor the boys’ progress, but I don’t understand why she has to be on this island when she’s just going to head back to Roshi’s place. Anyway, according to Baba, this island is like a liminal space between Earth and the Otherworld. Aren’t there like... three more of those in this show? Goku and Krillin have both died five times put together, so I think they might be a liminal space between Earth and the Otherworld.

Now everything looks like Sleeping Beauty or something. You know, with all the thorns?

Then they find themselves surrounded by all their old foes. Well, in particular, all the ones who beat the shit out of Krillin. Which is most of them, sure, but we’re not seeing guys like Mercenary Tao or Android 19, because Krillin didn’t fight those guys.

Also, Tambourine is here, which is a big deal to Krillin, since Tambourine killed him. But I’m posting this shot of Cell instead, because Cell is cooler than Tambourine. Yeah, he didn’t kill Krillin, but he did kick him really hard, which was pretty awesome. No offense, Krillin.

SPOILER WARNING: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

So I saw Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and for once, I think it’s actually an okay anime!

The writing had quite the improvement from the comics and film version (for the most part), and the LGBT+ content within it making a slight improvement when it comes to women especially (I’ll get to that later), though most of the jokes didn’t land as well since it gives off “Hello fellow kids” levels of trying too hard to be quirky and funny simultaneously.

Though most audiences don’t like how they “killed” off Scott, I personally didn’t mind as much since it means having the 7 Evil Exes to be more interesting to watch, (though Ramona is pretty bland in terms of characterization imo). I also enjoy Future Scott since I feel him being written as the man who lost it all should have been how the story started in the comics while showing flashbacks as comic Scott (he could be the unreliable narrator if necessary).

The animation is also pretty good. In terms of character design, I’m still pretty so so about the character designs within the main cast who aren’t antagonists in terms of body diversity; if it weren’t for hair and small facial features like freckles and wrinkles, how many of the characters would you recognize in a silhouette where it hides those features that help tell the difference between characters (similar problem with the main cast of Hazbin Hotel)?

In case of flaws, it’s how they handled Achellian relationships in the anime. For example, having Wallace being the only gay man within the main cast of “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” be written as a homewrecker; it’s like trying to make Valentino the only form of pansexual rep within Hazbin Hotel (thank god Viv didn’t).

Another thing that is a prevalent problem even in the comics and to a lesser extent the film is the constant identity crisis of seemingly still not figuring out the main genres within the anime.

TL;DR: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an improvement upon the comics and the film based on said comic series when it comes to sapphic women, how serious topics (I.e. grooming) are covered (somewhat), and art and animation style, however it still has more work to do in terms of LGBT+ rep for men, writing, and committing to the main genres so it doesn’t come off as a bloated mess with inconsistent pacing.

Thanks for the tag, @ariondevereux!!

Made a separate post because I realize that might be correct tumblr etiquette (sorry, I have none :o) also, a sam x riley WIP!! :O and - that snippet of bryce on ice is so adorbs <;33

rules: post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have wips. this is for both art and writing.

I’m really neat about my file-naming system for CT:OS and Merry Crisis, so my answer for those will be extremely boring, I’m afraid - suffice to say, things are progressing in highly unchronological writing order, even though all my files are numbered :P

Here are a few of the 1847371 things I have in the backburner (👀) Aiya another edit: I forgot to tag people! Feel free to ignore this and I’m sorry if you’ve already been tagged :) @the-keeper-of-midnight @bouncyballcitadel @milaswriting @lapinlunairegames @unithecorn @ddwcaph-game

Other choicescript WIP ideas

Elven tavern - you’re a grizzled and cynical soldier who went AWOL (escaped through the desert after a disastrous incident), and now you keep a low profile running a tavern (long story) for humans and elves on a busy road very close to the border, as tensions between nations/kingdoms run at an all-time high. hang out with regulars, go on quests, be an extremely grumpy drunk (or an actually decent tavern-keep)

Silver bullet - you’re a struggling wannabe actor/actress who gets their first real break. You play a fresh-faced cop in a multi-season action/thriller tv-show, who goes deep undercover with a mafia family. ‘fall in love’ with the mafia boss’s child (and with the co-star in real life), or with the director, producer, or your agent. bring your own flair to the role (acting chops, acrobatic stuntwork, literary intelligence, or charm).

Post apocalyptic - star-wars-style space opera meets chinese ‘wuxia’. you’re a scavenger on a dirt-poor planet, and get swept up in a revolution.

Soccer game - what “CT:OS” was before it was tennis

Cafe game - didn’t get very far, but basically “elven-tavern”, except it’s modern day and you run a cafe instead of a tavern, because i love my local cafes and spend way too much time people-watching in them.

And... I won’t even go into my unfinished fanfic files that I’ve abandoned over the years :P
