Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.

poor gale :'(

- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly

- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!

- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)

- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

#also had other companion drawings w gale and mystra planned for this but none of them are complete... perhaps another day #mystra #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 fanart #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #my art #hm i dont have many opportunities to share my mystra thoughts so! #mystra is incredibly difficult to redesign and draw! I want to give her a fantastical element to her while retaining her austere aloofness #(her unassuming design is actually surprisingly effective in making her seem so effortlessly powerful) #I love spiderweb imagery and braids(weave) for her but braids make her seem so... kind? very soft? i'll try again another day... #is this seriously my last post of 2023. goddamn

faces faces faces… much fun

#slinky’s sketches #ethoslab #grian #bdoubleo100 #bdubs #zombiecleo #geminitay #i’m trying not to make it incredibly obvious that i have a favorite face shape to draw but i do. haha #same w expression #seriously it is so hard to draw faces when you are faceblind and the human eye is incredibly attuned to the uncanny

house md so wonderful and brilliant because it is simultaneously the heaviest, darkest, most serious show about love and loss and how trauma shapes people and the most unhinged thing you'll ever experience.

#and very gay #like seriously. #it’s actually beautiful and profound in so many ways #but that part is often drowned out by the insanity #just like how all the characters in the show are incredibly repressed and use slur-jokes to deflect #house md #hilson #hate crimes md #hugh laurie #rsl #robert sean leonard #gregory house #james wilson #and yes this post is an almost verbatim quote from something i posted earlier today #but i thought it deserved its own post #starlightseraph’s brainrot

more masquerade stuff! things really went from 0 to 1000 in, like, thirty seconds.

(sorry if none of these make sense outside of my head)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #glorious masquerade #seriously though why was everyone SO into trein's makeout story #anyway i know this event is chronologically ambiguous but i can't help but read a bunch of episode 7 foreshadowing into it #i want to see more of malleus losing his goshdang gourd #he marked his calendar! he did research and made special plans for his fun trip! #he wanted to sit next to his human and watch a show and make fireworks! #who even cares about the world-ending stakes they RUINED HIS VACATION #god. i can't believe you can literally tell him to just chill. #why did they even bother including another dialogue option. who would choose anything else. #malleus is going to overblot and turn into a huge inky dragon or something #and yuu is going to open their mouth and say something so incredibly stupid that malleus is immediately shocked back into sanity #tsunotarou be cool

“Almost Christmas” means it wasn’t Christmas!

#ace attorney #pheonix wright #maya fey #miles edgeworth #I have very fond memories of watching a letsplay of the first game while hanging out with a good friend a few years ago. #They sketched scenes from case 1-3 and I still have them! They are one of the few decorative things I have in my living space. #They are a seriously incredible artist and watching them draw - both then and now - is so incredible! #This fanart is in part an ode to them B*) Thank you for giving me your incredible drawings that day. #You’re one of my biggest inspirations! It will take me many many years but I hope I can one day draw even a 10th as good as you B*) #And a note to them *and* everyone else reading this: #Thank you for cheering me on throughout my silly comics journey. It means the world to me.

people like to joke that batman is a furry but my hottest batman take is that batman is actually a metaphor for gender expression and drag (he is performing hyper masculinity)

#batman #batfam #dc #yeah i'll tag this post #i took a queer cinema and film class in college and now everything is camp to me #but seriously the 80s and 90s batman films are SO camp and they're so much fun #you can also apply a queer lens to the nolanverse movies in the sense that you can recognize how those movies #are incredibly emblematic of the post 9/11 characterization of superheroes as relating to both american pride and identity #but also the militarization of superheroes and the idealized hyper masculinity of superheroes as well

Capillaries. Myelin sheathing. Microglia.

I love how the game seems to take inspiration from those simplified cell drawings with bright colors and exaggerated shapes.

I love how the devs seem to have used microscopic images as a reference to make their alien world feel more alien.

I love the way the myelin sheathing is on the cables because it makes electric signals travel at a faster speed in real life... Those designs work and don't feel limited by what they took inspiration from.

#rain world #five pebbles #i love my little man and his incurable disease #no but seriously rain world has been living rent free in my mind for years #im not a biology expert im a humble uni student #but its fascinating and beautiful and wonderful #incredible art and i love purposed organisms and just everything the game does feels so beautiful and wonderful #rw

Friendly reminder that if you're in the U.S. and have a library card you can get a bunch of free entertainment on your phone! Libby gives you access to your library's catalog of e-books and audio books, and Kanopy has a large selections of movies and shows!

Both of these are completely free and only need a library card number!!!!! And keep in mind there are tons of other benefits, these are just the ones I'm talking about!

#support your local library #im 100% serious #plus they just put one of my favorite movies on Kanopy and i felt the need to tell people about it #but seriously #look into what your local library offers in addition to these apps! #its so incredibly worth it!

Odysseus: *Gets Palamedes framed and stoned to death after he threatened his son*

My reaction: "Damn, I wonder who he got that from-"

Athena: *Drives greater Ajax mad to the point that he kills a bunch of sheep before then killing himself all because he was hostile towards Odysseus.*

My reaction: "Oh, that's who"

#seriously odysseus picked up on so many things from athena I would not be suprised #I'm pretty sure she even said herself at some point that her and Odysseus are incredibly similar #this is a very clear warning from the two not to mess with their children #odysseus #the odyssey #homer's odyssey #the iliad #homer's iliad #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #ancient greek #greek myth #greek heroes #greek gods #greek stories #greek stuff #greek posts #greek myth memes #greek myth joke #epic the musical #epic: the musical #athena #greater ajax

so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!

with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #on this installment of things nobody asked but i'm going to talk about anyway #disclaimer that this is mostly a joke please don't get mad at me #(legit no shade to anyone) (speculation is one of the fun things about an ongoing fandom and you never know what'll turn out to be true!) #more seriously i do think there may be some connection that just isn't clear yet #but the more little breadcrumbs we get about what revaan was like the more i think crowley just doesn't act like him #i adore crowley don't get me wrong #(yes he's a dipshit. this is a feature not a bug.) #but like. #not to harp on the scene about lilia's nrc invitation (i am absolutely going to harp on it) #i do not believe that crowley would go through the trash to fish out the pieces and put them back together and save them #just because it was lilia's. just because lilia might want it again someday. #crowley can ✨yasashii✨ all he wants but we know what he's like #and i REALLY do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him. i didn't believe it before and i extra don't believe it now. #then again i do tend to be incredibly off about speculation so! who knows! i will trust the writing for now! #i do 100% believe that meleanor would fall in love with the world's biggest dumbass and then double down super hard. that part tracks. #that said i have decided that ambrose being revaan is actually the funnier option just because it would make crowley SO mad #it wouldn't make sense for him to be mad about it and that would just make him madder
