CRYSTAL READING: Getting in touch with your creative spirit

How can you be more creative ?

What creative themes resonate the most with you ?

Book a personal reading for you.

Reading for each group below :

1. Trolleite

🎐How to get in touch with your creative spirit :

Showing your emotions through the dance.

The dance of the hands, the dance of words.

If you take a peek into your creative cradle, you will see spirits dancing there. Dance with them, and let the words flow out freely. I see that you have the gift of crafting beautiful words.

Dancing or doing some activities and exercises that blot out the noisy inner critics.

When you are in the water, when you let your emotions run freely, the moment you're about to fall asleep. That's when you can come closer to your creative spirit.

Reading or seeing art of foreign culture could also help you open the gate of creativity.

🎐The theme of your creation:

Celebration of the intimate details and beauty of daily life

The darkness

The strange landscape of dreams

The forgotten memories of bygone childhood

The foreign lands and people

The sea, the water, the life beneath

The motion of life, transformations, life's fragility

Wings

Celebration

Dancing

Something deeply vulnerable

Movement of the body, movement of the mind

Fluidly, floating, flowing

2. Clear quartz

🎐How to get in touch with your creative spirit :

The power of touch

Through the sensations in your hands when touching, you get the spark of creativity.

It's through the connection with other beings in life, through 1on 1 conversation with yourself, with other people that connect you with your inner spirit.

Going out in nature, feel the busy activities surrounding you, the wind, the swaying leaves, the frogs leaping, the flutter of wings, the sound of running water, the velvet surface of petals...

Record the sound, the scenes you see through the camera.

You may have the gift of recreating the wonders of life. By sculpting, drawing, cooking, or taking pictures.

Observe life and see the interconnections of everything.

🎐The theme of your creation:

A pair, a couple

Companionship

Loneliness

The relationship between close friends, lovers, families

The illusions, the magical, the fantasies

Mask, acting, disguise, transformation of the appearance

Cinema, photography

Blurry landscape

Hidden femininity

Sudden upheaval

Faith

Adventures, pilgrimage

The struggle of rules and oppression, freedom

Transcendence

3. Carnelian

🎐How to get in touch with your creative spirit :

Pay attention to your dreams. They are whispering quite loudly to you

There is a hidden life in your dreamscape. Sometimes, it can spill into the waking life, pull you in a trance, and make you out of focus for a moment.

You have a powerful inner spirit, be more aware of your daydreams or wandering thoughts, they can somehow come to realization. I sense a negotiation between your ego and your creative spirit. Your spirit demands lots of things, but your ego is resisting.

You also receive lots of influences from the mass. You could subconsciously take in the mass's negative and positive energy.

There are 3 areas in your life that are closely connected with each other. Change in one area will result in change in other areas. They are all under the influence of your emotions. And those areas are the gates to your creativity.

One is your subconscious life. One is your faith and ideals. One is your relationships and mundane life.

🎐The theme of your creation:

Trio

Religion

Meditation

Travelling, journey, spiritual trip, learning

The path less traveled

Finding oneself

Compassion

Interviews

Odd habits, genius

Strange solutions for inexplicable situations

Social trends

Giving voice to hidden lives, the minority

Arrows and spears, pioneer

Love.

Ooo doll redesigns/au designs

We've got Spring Unsprung Holly, Getting Fairest Maddie, and Epic Winter Crystal !!!I'm gonna discuss my thought process under the cut

Spring Unsprung Holly

I tried to go for like a renfaire kinda thing, which will be my thought process for any other Spring Unsprung designs, really it's a pretty simple design, I spent most of my time drawing it annoyed because stuff wasn't working out. She's got little towers for heels also she has locs I just drew them rly big, they aren't that thick though drawing every individual one would've just been a lot of detail. The purple was taken from her actual doll any resemblance to Disney's Rapunzel is unintentional. Please ignore that the dress physics make absolutely no sense.

Getting Fairest Maddie

I like reinterpreted this line a little into more of a pyjama/sleepwear line just because the og line is literally just the same dress 4 times, however it still fits the original idea behind the line. Went for more pastel colours because I just like Maddie in pastels. Additional note Maddie would sleep with a bonnet I just didn't draw an alt version with that.

Epic Winter Crystal

Technically Epic Winter is Crystal's core doll however I designed this as if she has an actual core doll and this is a separate outfit to fit into the Epic Winter line. Unintentionally ended up with a slight 1920s inspo for the face, other than that I think her design is pretty self explanatory.

#digital art #redesign #ever after high #eah #fanart #holly o'hair #maddie hatter #crystal winter #im gonna do more of these in the next few days #hopefully the spinny wheel decider thing gives me ones i want to draw #also i gotta get more creative with the poses

I just saw your expression meme thing and here's an immediate suggestion:

Queen Ripple under perfectly content.

Huh! Now there's a character I wasn't expecting!

I think I like how this turned out; thanks for the request!!

I guess this was a particularly good exercise in the unknown... I usually draw Ripple in abject agony... for some reason

(Exhibit A)

#kirby #lrblev art #lrbbox #sketch #art challenge #kirby 64 the crystal shards #kirby and the crystal shards #ripple queen #queen ripple #i feel like every artist needs a character conduit for utmost suffering astonishment confusion flabbergastedness and the like #for me that is ripple queen lmfao #anyways yeah. my new years resolution is to be merciful and spare you guys my “creative” visions (CURRENTLY FAILING)!

Page 33

“Why do you wish to find out when you die?” Edwin asked Niko, letting himself ask, not because it had been lingering too long in his head, but because it was far simpler just to ask Niko, everything was simpler with her, easier.

Her head rested on his shoulder, her hand holding his arm, he wondered if she could actually feel him, because as much as he wanted to feel her he couldn’t, he felt her weight, and felt her hold on him tighten before softening again, but he doesn’t feel her warmth that he knows she has

“Because I just want to” Niko replied, simple straightforward, he glanced down at her before looking straight ahead again, resting his head on hers, hoping that she could feel him, that him being here brought her comfort,

“I don't really know what I would do if I actually found out when I’d die, but I think it would bring me some comfort to know when” She said, voice soft, somehow even when the topic was heavy, she could find a way to make it feel like it isn’t, he’s thankful for her of that, never once has he said anything he didn’t want to, never once had it been hard for him to say anything to her

Never with her

“That's odd, most people don’t seek out when they die” He said

“Well, I’m not most people” She replied a smile on her lips, tone soft but fond

“No, no you aren’t” He agreed, a small smile on his face before letting the silence stretch, as they both dangled their feet on the edge of the building, letting the wind pass by them, one feeling the coldness of the wind more than the other

The memory is slightly blurred now, two weeks have passed, and somehow it’s still not fully clicking in his head, He still somehow expects Niko to show up at the agency,

This is not possible considering they never told her where it is, but somehow he just does, he expects her to just show up, with that smile of hers

And on nights like these when they aren’t as busy, on when Crystal is asleep in her apartment and he and Charles are left alone in the room with Charlie being out, He can’t help but think of her, and he knows that Charles knows what he’s thinking

Niko’s books are put on the shelves nearest to the desk, at arm's length for Edwin, and on nights like these he doesn’t know whether he’s thankful to see them there, or saddened by the reminder that they offer

But on nights like these, he’ll always reach out and take one of them, and Charles's presence helps, he talks and sits near him, when he’s sitting at the desk or beckons Edwin over to the couch

Sometimes they both read, sometimes Edwin reads while Charles is just there and sometimes Edwin just reads to Charles, and it helps.

Sometimes more than others, the presence of someone while dealing with the loss of another. In hindsight it's weird, he’d never truly gotten this attached to someone else before, no one other than Charles, but now there's Niko, but Niko’s gone.

He closes the book after realizing that Charles has gone to sleep, they never needed it but he always chooses to do so, he looks so peaceful lying down on their couch, and he can’t help but think about when Charles died

He choose to stay with Edwin, but he can’t help but think about how the past thirty years would’ve been if he didn’t. He sighs and shakes his head, too many emotions for today, he sets the book down somewhere near, and for once he closes his eyes letting the quiet lull of the night lead him to sleep.

Writing about Mines in your Fictional Universe: A Geology Introduction

Hello! I'm Bird, and I am here to guide you on a journey about different mines that exist, what materials are being mined, what those materials might be mined for, and what rocks/what processes might make these areas mineable. I will also touch briefly on the idea of gem quality, the commonness of the material, and what these things might look like fresh out of the dirt!

First things first, lets talk about the what types of things we might want to mine for in a fictional universe! There are a lot of things that are used daily that require mining, but there are a few that I see written about the most: Gold, Gemstones, Iron, and Coal. I personally would love to see this idea expanded on a bit, so lets talk about some mines that would definitely be necessary but overlooked! First one is pretty easy, glass! those beautiful stained glass windows are useless if no one is mining quartz to be made to glass, and I imagine it would be quite a profitable business seeing as glass, in general, was a luxury in ye olden times. The next thing we need to address is Abrasives! want to sand and polish stone and metal? Want to sharpen your blades for battle? May I introduce you to abrasive minerals! garnet, corundum (Ruby and Sapphire), and yes, diamond! Why are we using such beautiful gemstones to polish other things? Simple, even if you are to find a deposit of these gemstones (garnet being one of the more common ones) most of the time they are inclusion rich, ridiculously small, an undesirable color, or all three of these.

Finding gemstones that are good quality is hard, your character will not stumble upon it, pick up the rock and immediately know if the location is good enough to mine gemstones. If you are determined to make it a gemstone mine, have your character hold the mineral up to the sun/a light source and let them be able to see light coming through, though it is considerably thick.

Moving into metal mining! Metal mining is both easier and more complicated to write! Why is it complicated? Because unless it is gold or silver you are unlikely to see the desired metal itself. Why is it easy? welllll, I am going to try to make it easy. First things first, a lot of metals are chromaphores, this means that when the element is present, it will influence the color! Copper is an excellent example of this, old pennies oxidize and turn blue/teal/green, so do most rocks bearing copper! Looking for iron? It will probably stain the rocks dingy and brownish red. Things to note: copper and iron can be found in mineable amounts together! If you do this, iron will be present in the form of pyrite, or fool's gold, this has a nice cubic shape and can be described as such, the copper will typically leave a teal residue or veining across the rock, which in this case will almost exclusively be black to dark gray (Its basalt) but it can be found as the mineral chalcopyrite also (looks like fool's gold but it doesn't make cute crystals). Malachite is also a copper ore, in my experience I have never seen malachite from a mine that has looked like some of the stuff I have seen in gem shops, azurite (A darker blue mineral) can be present also, but again, these are usually very fine grained and would not be able to be used as jewelry, but obviously, in some places it must happen, just much less frequently.

Another thing I will briefly mention is that, if you are writing about metals remember that these metals will require a smelting process to extract a pure metal, this usually requires some other material (For iron, it is charcoal). Also remember alloys! Most useable metals are a mix of different metals to make them harder. This even includes gold jewelry. Last comment about metals, a very interesting plot for a fictional universe would be the use of lead. Lead ore was a hot commodity before we knew it was toxic, the side effects (Being nuts) could really create some tension.

Lastly in terms of mined material, I will briefly mention coal and stone in general just to say, coal is a sedimentary rock, distinctly different from the typical environments necessary to form most gemstones and heavy metal deposits (Yes, there are exceptions). Coal is dark black/gray, which is quite uncommon for sedimentary rocks which tend to range from reds/tans/browns/grays. When coal is lifted it will feel much lighter than you anticipate, which is the polar opposite of what happens when you lift a metal rich rock, which will feel immensely heavy. Finally, Coal will not turn into diamonds in nature, diamonds need mantle pressures and temperatures to form, there will be no diamonds under a coal mine unless there was a mantle derived eruption that got covered in a swamp, that became coal and as they dug they exposed the kimberlite pipe (I mention this because I just read this in a story and it hurt my feelings). Finally, If you want to write about a mine that is definitely necessary but want the content to be pretty low-maintenance, but profitable for whoever owns it, owning a granite/marble/ or really any desirable stone quarry would be perfect.

Now I will move onto what kind of mining exists today, I will not talk about every exclusive mine, but I will talk about ones that are common that are on my radar. First up, the one everyone talks about in books, underground mining. Underground mining is used when you are getting the material from the 'primary'/original source. The rock is rich in copper? Lets mine said rock. However, mining underground is the most dangerous form of mining, there can easily be a lack of oxygen because of insufficient ventilation (That's why people will carry something with an open flame when going into abandoned mines; if the flame goes out there is not enough oxygen and you have to turn back). There can also be lots of collapses due to overhead rocks, enough said. Cave mining is primarily done when the amount of rock above the deposit is too great to strip mine.

Now lets talk about strip mining! Strip mining is when you just mine on the surface, and dig deeper and deeper into the ground to obtain your desired resource whether it be stone, coal, gemstones, or anything else. It truly is less glamorous, but it is safer than digging a tunnel. That said it has its own issues, sure the oxygen is good, and you don't have to worry about the rocks collapsing over your head, but oh wait, the rocks can collapse over your head. Landslides can occur due to the over steepening of sides, excessive rainfall, and most importantly, old faults or planes of weakness that happen to be facing towards the mine (the diagram will help this make sense). Both of these types of mines can also create ecological damage, which can be mitigated nowadays, but then maybe not so much. Namely acid mine drainage, I will not talk much on the effects but a quick google search will give you plenty of information that might be useful for writing.

Now both of these are trying to mine a targeted rock, but sometimes its best to let nature do the work so we can do less. Diamonds, gold, corundum (rubies/sapphires), and garnets all have one thing in common. They are dense! So when erosion happens, and that sediment makes its way into a river, everything will separate based on its density. This is just because faster moving water can hold heavier sediments, and slower moving water will drop those heavy sediments leaving only the lighter sediments within the water. Lots of places that mine the things listed above will pan/sieve in active rivers and streams, or they can surface mine where rivers and streams used to be! These are called placer deposits. There is one setback though, the gemstones will not be perfect crystal shaped, they will be rounded due to being thrown around in a river (like beach glass). These are sapphires, but they have been rounded over time in the river.

Final thoughts, writing about a mine can seem nerve-racking, intimidating, or just something that you want to briefly mention and move on from, but truly I think going into the weeds could really add something to a story! Even if stories are slightly inaccurate about information, I am still 100x more excited to see it mentioned in more detail than to see it as a sentence. Besides it is fantasy, it doesn't always have to be exactly like earth.

Galantis and Michael spoke with Rolling Stone about the origins of Lighter and the collaborative process

#if you're on the fence about this song i highly recommend reading this article #it is FASCINATING and answers a lot of questions i had about the song 💙💙#5sos #5 seconds of summer #lighter #kh4f post #do i have a tag for print articles? i should if i don't - get on that past and future Crystal #anyways #I knew these types of songs originate out of writing camps so I'm not surprised to hear it was a pre-existing song in search of a collab #but i love love LOVE that 5sos came in guns ablaze with notes and instrumentation and like... collaboration #and all because they didn't know that's not how these things work 🥰🥰#it's so endearing and speaks so much to them as a creative force #and that Galantis was surprised but receptive to that is absolutely everything #also there are some GEM michael quotes in here lmao #just a 10/10 article tbqh

I'd love to see more designs of qFit with explosions scars, specifically his upper body. While he'd have scars from things as simple as the terrain (for instance I personally headcanon him with scarring on his chin from tripping and falling) the main form of combat in 2b2t is end crystals. Which are extremely powerful and dangerous explosives.

The tactic with end crystals is to protect and block your lower body when the explosion goes off, as you'll take minimal damage. That is a minecraft mechanic, but an in universe explanation could be the explosion of the crystals are mainly horizontal in force? Bound to take out your legs on even ground but less likely for shrapnel or heat to do heavy damage to the upper body (still very risky and it's best to cover your whole body, but not necessarily an instant death sentence)

However you interpret the crystals though, Fit would probably have some intense scarring from them. Whether they be from his own crystals or from others.

#murky mumbles #qsmp #fitmc #I don't mean the 'draw half the face slightly discolored with no other physical consequences'#that fans do with Jaiden Tubbo Vegetta sometimes Elq or Cellbit etc #get better more creative scar designs🔫and let them be less then conventionally attractive #anyways chin scars for both Fit and Missa. They tripped F #you'd be shocked how many people have chin scars from tripping actually. It's a LOT #I have a couple more thoughts on how end crystals would look/work in this interpretation but it's not important nor something im attached t

Days 18, 22 of 31 for @clovercrafted's Buildtober: Magic Spell, Crystal Ball

Thought I'd build off of an old build of mine for this prompt! I imagine this crystal ball is a focus for casting spells, or maybe a spell was cast to put an aquarium inside it? Either way, the glow squids seem to be enjoying themselves 🦑✨
