"free palestine," he shouted until his last breath. aaron bushnell, we will never forget you.

as much as bushnell's actions has moved us all, please seek other ways to take actionable measures against the injustices we face in the world. none of us wanted him gone, and the least we can do is prevent another such tragedy by supporting each other in our efforts to enact lasting change.

#aaron bushnell #the boy with his heart on fire #this is in no way intended to glorify his actions #i do not condone self immolation as an act of protest but i cannot deny that it is something that causes an impact #and it has struck a chord within us all #we must not let his death be in vain #free palestine #my art #original

Been reading some ff7 stuff and it's mostly sephiroth based and like... It's so funny seeing people write his thigh length hair, they never get it right.

'he wrapped his hair in a towel on his head-' I appreciate the thought but I can promise you that that hair is coming out the end of the towel and still dripping cold water down his spine despite having been wrung out five times.

'leaving it to dry -' babe it'll be still sopping in six hours and it's incredibly heavy when wet. I don't care how sleek his hair is it's going to frizz if he steps one foot outside in that condition.

'Haha the bottle of shampoo and conditioner every time rumour isn't true-' the shampoo, no, but the conditioner? You'd be surprised!! Not to mention whatever hair oils he uses to prevent all that loose hair matting in seconds!

'he quickly dried his hair-' no.

#Fr if someone is plaiting his hair or washing it or whatever and they're standing within a metre they're going to have to loop it #A door handle their arm SOMETHING. If they want to keep any tension at all. #Because if your hair is longer than your reach you're gonna have to use a third point to bring it back in #Also there's a very high chance he ties it back for bed #You WILL end up strangled in your own hair if you don't lol. And get it in your mouth and eyes #Like I can see why people with normal hair treat it as normal hair but once it gets that long it needs more dedication #Also how does it not get set on fire in battle I'm so jealous lol #ff7 #final fantasy vii #final fantasy 7 #sephiroth

I’m so happy that you share my headcanon of Keith having a crush on James because honestly there was so much unresolved tension between them.

Also, can you please open your fruitful mind cave and please share some headcanons that you have of the two of them please? So i can sit here and giggle uncontrollably while staring at my phone🙃

[original]

I don't really have a whole lot in the way of concrete headcanons regarding Keith & James' past, it's more nebulous ~vibes~, but let me give it my best shot:

So first thing's first, they met upon starting middleschool at the ripe young age of 11 with that delightful hormonal cocktail and all the dysfunctional emotions it entails a-brewing.

Keith's dad had been dead some three years at this point, and his foster placements had gone up in flames enough times that he'd been recently, but rather permanently, placed in a local group home. That in mind, he's all but given up on making actual human connections because these things seem to just never quite work out for him; better that he give up trying altogether, and save himself the hurt, but then... there's James.

Keith's already snagged the desk by the window in the far back—the best spot, as far as he's concerned—and is as happy to ignore and be ignored by his classmates as they file in for sixth period physics, until- until he walks in, all loud laughs and cheeky smiles, with a gaggle of kids hanging off his every word and more effortless charisma than any pre-teen boy should ever really have the right to.

And then gunmetal eyes sort of slide across the room—like he knew he was being watched before Keith even realised he was watching—all lazy arrogance and stupid hair, and he's looking Keith up and down and raising an eyebrow and- Keith looks away, mouth drawn and shoulders tight. Kids like that like to fight kids like him, he knows, and he cannot afford to get chewed out on his first fucking day for god's sake.

But it's not just physics because why would it be, no, over the coming week Keith finds that James Griffin—and it's no surprise to learn he's from money with a name like that—shares at least half his classes, P.E. among them, which is where it truly beings.

"It" being their... rivalry, Keith supposes.

He's not even sure who started it, just as likely to be both of them as neither, but when they're put on opposing teams for a "friendly" game of football, what begins as Keith making the most of his natural dexterity—skirting around lumbering opponents, nimble as a cat—turns into Griffin hunting him and only him down across the pitch like a damn bloodhound. "That's the game kid" the coach tells him, as if, by the end of it, he hadn't been systematically cornered and corralled by the other team irrespective of whether or not he had the damn ball, entirely at Griffin's direction, "like it or lump it". Keith, still wheezing with ribs that protest every breath after a particularly rough tackle, finds himself quite particularly disinclined to lump it, and certainly doesn't like it one bit.

Definitely not.

So Griffin pushes, Keith pulls. Griffin hits, Keith kicks. Griffin scratches, Keith bites.

But it's not bullying, never that: Keith's known his fair share—a scruffy orphan with anger issues is an easy target, he supposes—and this simply isn't it. Griffin evens defends him, once, in the particularly chilly January of their first year when a meat-headed trio think it funny to soak Keith's shirt during gym and leave it out to freeze; without pause or hesitation, Griffin had quietly handled them with more snide diplomacy than Keith himself would ever wield, and though the details of that closing whisper-threat were known only to he who'd received it, the sudden pallor of face and contrition of manner had left quite the impression.

...As did the cozily lined sweater that James—with goosebumps rising on his arms and cheeks already pinking from the chill—had thrown into Keith's arms from across the changing room, citing the pinprick hole in the cuff as reason enough for him to have been planning to rid himself of it anyway.

They're not friends—how could they be? James is intelligent and popular and so annoyingly good at things he damn near makes an art out of breathing—but for the first time since he was orphaned, Keith finds himself with one singular constant that he can rely on to be infuriatingly charmingly stubbornly there: never shying from Keith's sharp edges nor being swayed by the cruel whispers that haunt him everywhere he goes, James is just... James. Disagreeable. Incomprehensible. Unwavering.

And maybe, just a little bit like Keith.

Oh, and I'm also inclined to believe that (both in this au and canon) that past altercation seen in s7ep01 where Keith goes "I can out-fly anyone in this building" and James fires back with "Oh yeah? Is that what mommy and daddy told you before-" [gets punched in the face] was a classic case of projection on James' part: he strikes me as a kid whose parents expect nothing less than perfection—not only that he could be the best, but that he should—so I think that Keith getting the group in trouble, coupled with James just outright projecting his own experiences, led to a cruel comment (and worse for the fact that I believe James didn't actually know Keith was an orphan until after this instance).

#''fruitful mindcave'' gave me a good giggle #but it physically pained me to use 'football' for the objectively wrong sport but they're american so what choice did i have #Ao3 Little Blade #sa screams back #galaxy garrison crew #keith kogane #ficlet #or it almost devolved into one anyway oops #in an adjacent coincidence: yesterday I received a reply to an ao3 comment that I left on a jaith fic //half a decade ago// from some anon- #-literally being SO weirdly aggressive bc i was lightly critical of the jealousy shiro was exhibiting within the fic- #(context: he's dating adam at the time and yet getting territorial over mere //rumours// of keith & james) #-and trying to ''insult'' me by calling me a klance shipper??? which is a HILARIOUS choice bc i'm literally a sheith>klance girlie lmfao #nice to know that the wider vld fandom is still a toxic dumpster-fire in the year 2023 good lord 💀

every time an author mentions ethan’s supposed military background i immediately have to close out of the fic. girl ethan hunt would not touch the us military with a mile long pole. clearly you never sat for hours on you basement floor on cold ass tile straining your neck up to look at the tv & click through all of the characters’ background files on the mi1 dvd special features . u don’t KNOW him

#ethan hunt?? a military man?? girl on what planet #he has so much distaste for the us gov let alone any form of authority he wouldn’t have SURVIVED #he’d have quit or been fired within the first week if he even dared to enlist (which he wouldn’t have) #the only reason he’s in the imf is bc he knows what they do is GOOD and he has to work around all the stupid ass gov officials #and when he knows it’s not?? he doesn’t do it!!! he rebels! #man break protocol & is a bitch to authority every 5 minutes #he’s a low class farm boy theater nerd u can’t IGNORE THAT #i’m just saying people that only got into the series post gp aren’t the same….. unfortunately #also the fault of gp producers to let out another file background for the team?? like girl do your research it’s already been decided #-disclaimer- before anyone gets mad i’m not actually hating anyone other than whoever made the gp background files #but i WILL refuse to read any military!ethan fics or posts #anyways #contradictory info in series makes me so mad like how’d you let that happen #mission impossible #ethan hunt #*

Excuse me? Hello?!

#apparently you can just... stand on top of this guy #pretty consistently too by using a lvl 3 fire melee attack when standing right up against its weakspot #not sure if this super well known or not #and its basically pointless as far as i can tell #just thought it was a neat little discovery #i'm surprised the devs coded the head to be something you can interact with at all let alone stand on #also there doesn't seem to be a way to get inside and pilot it from within. shame. :/ #crosscode

The Warrior King I think we all deserve

#a HC of mine is that despite chivalry and knighthood being prevalent in current Faerghus #their roots are deep within the warrior culture of old #war cries and battles for glory #as well as deep brotherhood forged in blood and steel #face painting fell out of practice as the years went by #especially after the church of serios gained more prevalence in Faerghus #I like to think Faerghus had used to believe in their own gods before many converted #but many of the ancient text depicting the old gods have been lost #not many know the stories and many don’t even remember they had old gods #I just think it’s really fucking neat okay? #and I’ve been listening to the God of War & AC Valhalla soundtracks #leave me alone #:: my art #fe3h #fire emblem three houses #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #fe3h dimitri #idk what else to add

I've been trying for months to find a photoshop brush that imitates watercolour, but i just can't find one that blends and textures the way trad watercolour does. If you've been following me on social media, you might know how i'm strugling to find a colour style that suits my lineart and doesn't take too long as i really dislike sitting in front on photoshop. I've been furstrated with photoshop and colours for so long now!

But then i though, why am i so attached to photoshop? i've been doing my lineart with trad ink and i love it, why should i stuck to photoshop for colours ? The truth is i've been doing that since i got my first tablet in like 2005, leaving watercolours and inks behind for the confort of ctl+z. I totaly forgot it was an option, i'm such an idiot!

Anyway, I found a watercolour set in the street a few years ago and decided to try it on a simple doodle and i had a lot of fun, i love the way it looks with my lineart even if i have a lot of progress to do, i might ditch photoshop for a while, it makes me happy but i am also such an idiot!

I've made some videos on my insta highlights for this illustration if you want to take a look

I gotta say, I still don't know if I understand Reclamation Algorithm, but I do understand one thing: I would die for Manticore Arknights, or kill others.

Last week I adopted this oc from Lyricstomb and I’ve finally gotten around to drawing them!

I’ve never adopted an oc before, but I just couldn’t resist this design and it’s quite a new experience to come up with a character based on a pre-existing design!

#my ocs #inferno the serow #he has the ability to store and release fire from within their body (but can’t really manipulate it) #their ring sort of acts like a funnel that makes input/output of the fire more controlled #if they try to store too much fire they will get the symptoms of heat exhaustion and even heat stroke so he can’t go overboard #they primary use this ability to stop small forest fires and carry out controlled burn procedures #but like it’s also for lighting campfires and cigarettes lol #they are tired very often. someone get this boyo some iron tablets and an energy drink #my art

ok i need to get this off my chest abt totk's dungeon soundtracks this isnt necessarily a criticism but just a... idk man its confusing hang on

ok. totk's dungeon themes. theyre good im not going to lie they arent my favorite of the series but totk did deliver some good dungeon themes. what i'm confused about is the choice to use the champion's and divine beast's leitmotifs in the dungeons, like using daruks theme and bits of rudania's theme for the fire temple. that's the first that comes to mind cuz thats the one i like best but i think it was especially noticeable to me for the wind temple, the water temple's theme has some similar instrumentation and some very similar sounding phrases and when i see comments or people talking abt the dungeon themes it is very common to see people talk about the champion and divine beast leitmotifs being used.

and like. fine it sounds nice there is an emotional connection there if you have played botw but like. why are their fucking leitmotifs in totk's dungeon themes???

if you give a character or something a leitmotif, then that little string of notes represents that character or location or concept. usage of that leitmotif is therefore intrinsically tied to that character or whatever. this worked out with zelda's theme throughout the series, esp in totk when it's given the instrumentation of the dragon's themes, so that musical phrase at that moment basically says 'zelda, but a dragon' and like. yknow. leitmotif that literally represents something.

i believe the wind temple's theme incorporates some of rito villages theme, and in turn rito village having the same melody as dragon roost island makes sense, that's effectively a motif meant to represent the rito, like the reoccurring zora's domain and goron city motifs throughout the series, or hyrule castle. when characters have themes in past zelda games that play at different times, it means something about the character being referenced. midna's lament using midna's theme to show that this scene is about midna, she is in danger. fi's different themes playing when she is the center of attention or her leitmotif referenced in botw/totk when she literally makes subtle cameos. linebeck's theme only every plays in scenes where he has some sort of big moment or in the final boss theme because it's only fair that the final boss theme include the motif that represents him because he is the final boss. groose's theme shows up various times in his little scenes (and i believe there might be hints of it in later imprisoned themes?? i'd have to check but it would make sense since he's helping)

so... if you reuse a leitmotif that is tied to something, then reasonably that means that the context in which it's being reused is somehow related to or concerning what that leitmotif represents.

but... daruk's theme and some bits reminiscent of rudania's theme play in the fire temple's theme. reasonably, i would hear this and be like, ah, so this has something to do with daruk, or the divine beast? the usage of his character leitmotif suggests that he is related to this somehow. thats... usually the point of using a character leitmotif like was done in the fire temple's theme!

and yet the champions and divine beasts are not so much as referenced in totk's stories, and you can't even try to the point of their themes being used due to the new sages being relatives, because tulin is not related to revali- he doesn't even get the great eagle bow until after the dungeon, and still no reference to revali is made when he gets it.

so then... why are we referencing botw's champions if they do not matter? why not use the sage's leitmotifs in the dungeon themes instead? the dungeons are much more related to the new sages, and it would allow players to become more familiar to that leitmotif, and would further tie the experience to that dungeon with its related sage, instead of tying it to dead characters that mean jack shit to the story of totk.

it's just really weird that they use motifs from the champions and divine beasts, since that won't click for people who didn't play botw, and it just calls back to stuff not important to totk anyways. the divine beasts have literally no relation to the dungeons, the champions are barely even relevant to the world in totk. i get that the leitmotifs were used as like... maybe some sort of extra pre-existing racial connection motifs, but... use the sage's themes? don't use leitmotifs that have absolutely nothing to do with this game or it's story? sure it sounds nice but the meaning behind those leitmotifs make no actual sense in this new context, unless you're trying to suggest that they actually have a different meaning than being the motifs of the characters and locations that were originally what they were used for.

#this is less criticism and more of 'why the fuck was this done actually' #like i get it but also as like. someone who knows what a leitmotif is and what it does why the fuck was this done within context #please use the new sages' themes or smth i deadass do not know what they sound like off the top of my head #salty talks #totk #loz #legend of zelda #i just. its like a weird immersion breaker for me bc im used to hearing character theme motifs when its like. yknow related to the characte #so if i hear a bit of daruk's theme i instantly think of daruk but like. ok? he has nothing to do with anything in the game #its just confusing they honestly shouldve made more use of the sage's themes #EDIT: HEY IF IM WRONG ABT THE TOTK DUNGEONS NOT REFERENCING SAGE LEITMOTIFS PLS CALL ME OUT #LIKE DEADASS. TELL ME IF IM WRONG PLEASE #my point abt referencing divine beast and champions themes stand but seriously #i gave the sage themes a listen and part of yunobo's theme does remind me of fire temple so i might just be short on research here #bitching abt totk
