art makes me insane like. how am i supposed to just be normal when hayao miyazaki director of studio ghibli said "i would like to make a film to tell children 'it's good to be alive'", when kim nam-joon the leader of bts said "why am i making music? i feel like i'm dying if i not do this", when hiromu arakawa the mangaka of fullmetal alchemist said "even when our eyes our closed, there's a whole world that exists outside ourselves and our dreams", when vincent van gogh said "i don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream", when georgia o'keefe said "when you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. i want to give that world to someone else", when edward hopper said "maybe i am not very human. what i wanted to do was paint sunlight on the side of a house", when

yeah i'm totally normal about art

#random stuff #all of these artists...changed me fundamentally #also belittling one art form while raising up another is completely invalid <3 #artists of all mediums from all backgrounds deserve to be recognized as artists #art

100 of my favorite Hip Hop Albums of 2022 Might be excessive but there was simply just a ton of music this year that I enjoyed and found myself going back to, and I believe each of them is worth checking out.  Each of the album titles here also links to either a bandcamp page or stream where you can listen to the project. Hopefully you’ll at least find one new album that you enjoy here, and as always feel free to reply with what you enjoyed and connected with the most this year. I’d love to know, and any other recommendations are definitely appreciated. This was an incredible year for new releases, not just for hip hop but for music in general which is why i’ll be posting another top 100 list for all of the non hip hop stuff I enjoyed from this year, hopefully in the next few days.  Peace.

[forever-eternal]

hi!! I was wondering if there was any random headcannons you had about either states or Adam and Robin

I have a few off the top of my head :D

__________________________________

-- Adam and Robin are both Very Asexual, and only attracted to each other. Trying to be a Homewrecker with these two will end horribly.

-- Greg is an undead. As a human child, he met Adam and Robin a few times. When he died in a horrific accident as a young preteen, they brought him back and adopted him.

-- Greg is mute!

-- Boe (WV) has a pet rosy maple moth named Rosie

-- Boe is Best Friends with all the WV cryptids.

-- Boe is dating John Deere! Boe is the Jack Hoffmen of States and I will die on this hill.

-- Ivan and Gabriel (Alaska and Texas) are really nice guys, and kinda shy, but they have epic mean faces and can make themselves appear very intimidating.

-- John (Georgia), despite being Gabriel’s height, is too nice and Teddy Bear to intimidate people unless he’s angry. Then people remember that a Teddy Bear is still a bear.

-- Ivan and Gabriel learned to be scary from Adam. Man is Dad To The Max, but he is still the Personification of the United States, and he can be terrifying when he wants to be.

-- Adam and Robin make all their kids stuffed animals, with the animals name sewn on one of the limbs

-- Ian (Florida) and Robin have a running tally of who had football-tackled more police officers. It’s currently a tie.

-- Adam has met Santa Claus.

-- Countries being on good terms does not mean the Personifications are! Several Government and Assistant Personifications are not allowed to be in the same room as Adam or Robin, it’s attack on sight.

-- Adam and Robin can replace people they erase! I implied it in ‘Must Be Mistaken’

-- Robin eats people. It’s not cannibalism, since she’s not human, but she does eat people. Adam too, but only sometimes.

-- The basement of the Jones Residence, where only Adam and Robin are allowed to enter, is full of trophies from people and personifications they’ve killed. The walls look like the French catacombs with all the skulls.

-- Adam and Robin also engage in human experimentation from time to time! Remember the chimeras from Full Metal Alchemist? That type of stuff. They only do it to bad people, and they also just don’t care. The only humans Adam and Robin care about are their family members.

-- If Adam and Robin ever die, they can never be reformed. Getting the exact same fragment from Eternity or Infinity is impossible. Other personifications can reform as the same people, Governments can not.

-- Robin represents in small parts of the Government; the interns, cubicle workers, receptionists, all the little pieces that make everything run. Adam is the big pieces; the President, the Senate, the HoR.

-- Adam’s immune system is trash and it has always been trash 👍 that will never change.

-- The OG’s had to teach Adam and Robin how to act human, blinking, chewing, breathing and all.

-- No one knows that Adam and Robin are fragments. Only other Fragments know. All the Politicians know is that they’re terrifying and Will Eat Them.

-- Adam and Robin are petty as hell and have a ‘Petty Schedule’ to determine who messes with which politician this time. This is reserved for the people who annoy them, but they aren’t annoyed enough to hurt them.

-- Adam has been torn in half by a cannonball before. He has also been shot, stabbed, blown up, burned, and I’m sure there are other things he has yet to talk about. Only Robin knows about most of these.

-- Adam and Robin can regrow limbs! If they break a bone, and manage to get away for a few hours, they’ll just cut it off and let it grow back good as new.

-- Adam and Robin can either have no organs or too many of one specific organ. Or whatever they think is funnier at the time.

-- In Verse, ‘The Thing’ is based on a witness that saw Robin eat someone. She looked freaky as hell and had the time of her life.

-- Adam and Robin have multiple forms, which I have talked about already in a previous post.

-- Adam and Robin are so in love it gives me a toothache

The Gladiolus Festival

Bridgehid Masterlist [start from the beginning?]

@lerenee @jj-pines @karaboutmyart

The gladiolus flower, also known as the "sword lily", was the national flower of Maquis Island, despite the fact it was not native to the region. Then again most of the flowers that grew on the island were not native to the region, yet they thrived and fed on the magic that was within the island's soil. No one knew for certain why the flower began to bloom in April despite - when in its native regions - it begins to bloom in late June, but many believed it to be the magic.

The Gladiolus Festival takes place every year on the first Friday in April. It was a combination of a school field day and a traditional festival that took place on the east side of the island, starting in the town and stretching to the college, specifically using its training grounds, sports field, and two track fields.

This was why starter pistols were firing blanks in the air. Sloan watched students stand to perform in a relay as Indigo silently approached him.

The two friends stood side by side at the starting line, a starter pistol sat in the alchemist's hand while the mage just stood beside him wearing sunglasses as she watched the students at the starting line.

"Cover your ears," Sloan suggested before firing a blank in the air.

The students started running around the small track to claps and cheers from the spectators.

"How are you?" the alchemist questioned.

"I'm fine, better than I was last week," Indigo replied, "How is Casper?”

The alchemist looked over at her, he could tell even behind her shades she was hardly any better. She may have been sleeping a normal amount, but she wasn’t fine. Nevertheless, attempting to get that out of her was something he wasn’t in the mood for.

“Happy to be back home," Sloan stated, "Calvin said he'd have to take it easy for a while, but that he could go back to doing the work in the infirmary whenever he wanted... Thank you."

It was a thank you that went beyond just being by his side when his husband was in a coma.

"Of course, dear," Indigo muttered as she watched one of the students slap her seer apprentice's hand to continue the relay.

"GO GEORGIA!" she cheered loudly, jumping up and clapping.

Despite hating running, Georgia enjoyed making people happy, even if it was just someone she only talked to in the classes they had together.

The seer girl used all her stamina to run across the finish, winning the relay for her team, to a waterfall of claps and cheers and a large group hug from her teammates.

The apprentice mage fell dramatically in the grass off the field right before her friends and her teacher approached.

"I feel like I'm dying," she heaved.

"I think it was very much worth it," Nemo chuckled.

"You were amazing, Georgia!" Rowan said with a smile.

"I will be honest, with the way you were talking I didn’t think you'd go for first place," Elias said, "You were fast as lightning!”

"So, I actually won and didn't get have like a foot in front of me and then collapse before the finish," Georgia panted as she glanced up at her four friends, who were looking down at her in the grass, "Like this isn't one of those like dreams where I think I won but in reality I failed miserably?”

"No, you did it, Georgia," Rowan giggled.

"Guys, I think I am dying I see the goddess!" Georgia wheezed dramatically as Indigo extended a hand to her to help her up.

"Félicitations, Georgia! Let’s get you out of the grass, so we don't have to be taken to Calvin," the archmage remarked.

"I need a gallon of water," the seer huffed, leaning on Nemo as he helped her to walk.

"Let's get two gallons, you can drink one and we can pour the other one on you!" Rowan joked.

"Oh, that'd just be a waste of water," Georgia muttered.

The small friend group went to a water station, so the mage in training could get all the water she wanted. Once she felt well enough she went to go change out of the gym clothes she was in for the relay into more casual clothes so she could hang out with her friends.

Despite it being only noon, the day already had been so full of festivities. Even with that though, there was still more fun to be had.

"Ricky! Ricky, I did it!" Georgia exclaimed as Nemo, Elias, Rowan, and herself approached the healer's tent, "First place!"

"Georgia! That's amazing!" Maverick shouted with a large smile, hugging her tightly.

"Congratulations, Georgia," Calvin remarked, before turning his attention to Indigo who wasn't far behind the gaggle of teens that approached his booth, "I'll have some free time at 12:30 if you can wait that long," he commented after looking at his watch.

"That's fine," she replied, "I planned to-"

"Corals!"

It was said in the Polish accent of the cursed science professor, who happened to be in the walkway of booth tables. She stood there, arms crossed with that permanent scowl on her face, "Let's go for a little walk."

Indigo only nodded, following the ex-alchemist to have whatever conversation she wanted.

"Are you going to come with us Maverick?" Georgia asked.

"I..." he looked at Rowan with this look of scared apprehension before looking to Calvin, "Can I?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine, go have fun," the healer replied.

Maverick nodded, taking off his healer garb before interlocking fingers with his boyfriend, leaving Rowan a little confused.

"So, Percival, what do you wish to discuss?" Indigo remarked behind her shades as she and the cursed professor walked along the outskirts of the festival.

Percy couldn’t bring herself to look at Indigo, "How are you feeling?"

"I wish you all would stop asking me that! I'm fine," Indigo scoffed.

"Mhm," Percy hummed, "I've met the fine Indigo, she's more smiley then you are."

"Oh, shut up," Indigo sighed.

"Have you told Rowan?" Percy asked, being quite crass.

"Huh?"

"They seemed different, as if something was wrong. I assumed that was because the truth was out now," Percy replied, "Especially since they were snooping in your office last week."

Indigo kept her mouth shut.

"Don’t tell me you haven't told them anything."

The mage was once again silent.

“Indigo," Percy huffed.

"If they can't remember, who am I to ruin their paradise?" Indigo replied.

The two of them stopped walking and the science professor turned to face the historian, "Indigo, they are asking about it and you are hiding things from them!"

"I know! But what would you have me do!?"

"Be honest with the child you have in your care!"

Percy was being oddly sympathetic, "For a woman that usually thinks with her heart rather than her mind, you are not thinking with either at the moment," Percy scoffed, "I would have thought you’d have made this right."

"I'm trying!"

The cursed woman stared at the French archmage, all she could see was a deep despair. A sort of empty haze, like Indigo wasn’t completely there. The look in her midnight eyes made Percy feel sick.

“Where is the woman I hate? Where is the overconfident mage who thinks that no one can touch her? Where is the woman who says my name with such a fake sweet voice that it makes me sick? …Where is the woman who challenged me to be a better person without even a single word? Why has she been replaced with a hollow shell?! She was someone who, I begrudgingly will admit, is one of the smartest people on this island. And why, why is she instead acting so damn foolish?! Tell me, Indigo!” Percy ranted at her.

Indigo is yet again left speechless.

“I don't want to care about you because you look pitiful, that’d be Sloan’s job or your parents’ job. I want to care about you because you make me feel something more than this sorrowful sickness!" Percy continued to bellow, "I don't care about a lot of people, but believe it or not I care for your ward! And seeing you do this to them is horrendous!"

“…I'm working on making it right," Indigo retorted, but honestly she just sounded miserable, "Percy, I can't say anything other than I'm working on it! I want to have the right answer to their future questions! I will make it right; I just need more time!"

Percy clicked her tongue, Indigo wasn’t one to say Percy when addressing the ex-alchemist, it's almost always Percival... Percy had allowed her that.

"We don't need to talk any further until you get everything straightened out," the cursed woman said before leaving without another word. This left Indigo there by herself in her gloom.

Back with the teens, the fun continued!

But even though they were all having a good time, there was a sort of uneasiness in the air.

Rowan was able to trace the uneasiness back to its source, Maverick.

"Hey, Elias..." the pink-haired teen said as the two of them played a dart balloon-popping game, "Is Maverick upset with me?"

"What do you mean?" the white-haired male asked.

"The way he looked at me back at the healer's tent. It looked like he was scared to be around me. All day he's been, like I don't know, afraid to look at me. But I can tell that he's looking at me! Like when we first met, he -I don't know- just kept staring at me like I was familiar, but like he hasn't said anything!"

"I mean I told him that you looked familiar, and he seemed pretty down that you couldn't remember me," Elias replied, "But he hasn't said anything about you, to me at least."

"This better not be another situation where I knew him and I can't freaking remember" Rowan huffed, throwing their last dart at the board and missing, "If it is I'm going to be pissed."

"Guys!" Georgia exclaimed a few booths ahead of them with Maverick and Nemo, "There’s a fortune teller here, you all wanna get your fortunes read?"

Elias and Rowan looked at each other and shrugged following the Georgian girl down the street.

"I thought seers didn't like fortune tellers," Nemo commented.

"No... well I don't know... maybe," Georgia replied, "But I think they're fun."

The group came upon a large circus-like tent, bright purple with a light yellow diamond patterning. Pushing past the curtain, they saw a palace of pillows in dark shades of blue, rouge, and mauve, with an Egyptian woman wearing a hijab, and many pieces of bangle jewelry, sitting in the middle of her plush place, a small tea table in front of her with tarot cards, candles, tea kettle, cups, and a -presumed- fake crystal ball off to the side.

"Welcome," she said softly, "Please sit."

The teens took seats on the pillows in a half circle in front of the table, "You five are good friends, yes?"

"Some of us," Nemo mumbled, looking around the tent.

"Right, because you can't be friends with your brother."

Nemo and Elias looked at each other then back at the fortune teller, "Oh come on, you look alike, it's not that hard to tell you two are related. I mean you have the same beauty mark, nose shape, and eye color."

Nemo clicked his tongue and Elias rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment as Maverick and Georgia snickered.

"Quit laughing," Nemo scoffed quietly, looking over at his boyfriend who was not doing a good job hiding his laughter.

"I can't help it," Maverick snorted.

"The stars are in you two’s favor," the fortune teller commented, she flipped over a few tarot cards, "Despite your past, the two of you will make amends in the near future. You two should sit down and talk about your differences."

The twins looked at her once again, they shared a look as if to say later.

“You there, the little girl," the woman said.

"Me?" Georgia questioned.

"You have a bright future," the woman mused, "You are on the right path. You have so much potential."

The fortune teller's words made Georgia smile wide, "You shine bright, if you keep up the great work, you will shine even brighter."

There was a moment of silence, the woman looked at Maverick, then to Rowan for a second, and back at Maverick, "You are holding on to a lot. You are holding a lot of it in."

Maverick swallowed, "You need to loosen your grip on whatever it is you are holding on to. It will make you feel lighter."

After speaking to Maverick, the woman's full attention was on Rowan. It made them a little uncomfortable, being stared at. It felt like the fortune teller was reaching into their soul and pulling out something Rowan didn't even know they had within them.

"I advise you to be cautious in the coming days. I sense your life will be changed: I suggest you think before you act."

Rowan stares at her wide-eyed, what the fuck is going to happen? Why do they have to be cautious, what kind of vague shit is this?

"You all are close, I can tell, I hope whatever is coming you all can overcome it together," the fortune teller remarked, “…Would you like some tea?"

The group of teens shook their heads before readying to leave.

"Thank you so much," Georgia cooed, as she headed to exit the tent with her friends.

"Well, that was not one of my best ideas," the seer girl was a little disappointed about the weird outcomes.

"We all can't have good ideas all the time," Nemo remarked, "It’s alright!"

"You okay, Rowan?” Elias asked, as the pink-haired teen stared blankly at their feet as they walked.

"Why the hell would I have to cautious?" they muttered.

"Fortune tellers are vague on propose, it probably means nothing," Nemo answered.

"And what did she mean "My life will change”? What the actual fuck?!" Rowan huffed, "It’s like Georgia's grandmother: "Something will change your being" what does all this mean?”

"Rowan, I love my grandmother, but she is a very old seer that sits in a chair listening to the tv all day. She probably just wanted to screw with you,” Georgia offered up in an attempt to reassure them.

"Or she could have been right, hell that fortune teller could have been right!" Rowan shouted.

The teens had stopped moving, turning all of their attention on Rowan.

Elias, Nemo, and Georgia looked between each other and at Rowan, feeling rather concerned, while Maverick stood silent, fidgeting, not making eye contact with anyone.

“…I mean, seriously?! Why do I always feel so weird when I go to school?! …Why the hell is it so hard to find out anything about my childhood?! Why don’t I remember my parents?! ...I don’t know how my own mom died, like fuck I should at least know or remember that. But it feels like everyone is always lying to me! … WHAT IS THIS “BIG” THING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO FUCK UP MY LIFE?!” Rowan ranted angrily.

“…You can't remember your childhood?" Georgia repeated in shock.

"Rowan, how long has this been bothering you?" Nemo asked worriedly.

“…Since the ball," they huffed.

"And you didn't tell us?!" Georgia probed.

"I told Elias," Rowan muttered, "I know you guys are my friends too, but you all have different kinds of stuff going on and I didn't want to bother you."

"Oh Row," Georgia sighed, going in for a hug which they returned, "We’ll always be here for you!"

"Thank you..."

Nemo looked over at Maverick, "Babe, you okay?" he asked, seeing how nervous his boyfriend was, "Maverick..."

He wanted to say it, he wanted to get it all off his chest. Tell them everything he knew. No, he had to tell them, “…Rowan," he said in a shaky tone, "Duke is the reason you don't have your memories!"

The group fell silent while Rowan gave Maverick a wide-eyed look.

“He was "testing the limits of alchemy and magic" using you as his test subject! He said he was trying to "cure" the creatures under the college and you were the perfect subject!" the white-haired teen expounded, "...The night your mom died, he had the mages hide your memories away! He said it was just to get rid of the memories of that night, but something went wrong!"

"How long have you known this, Maverick?!" Elias asked loudly, with a ball of fury lodged in his chest.

"Since it all began," he replied, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I couldn't do anything! He's my grandfather! He was going to mess with Nemo's grades, take away my apprenticeship, and disband the art club! He was going to take away the few things I love if I said what he did to you or to me!"

Maverick was basically sobbing by the time he finished speaking.

"Duke's your grandfather!?" Georgia gasped.

Maverick looked at his feet in defeat, "I'm so sorry!"

Rowan only stared at him as Nemo stood at his side, a hand on his shoulder.

They were experimented on as a child, by the weird dean of the college. More importantly, he had the mages hide their memories!

Even if taking away the memories of Rowan’s early childhood was only a mistake, that didn’t really make it any better.

"I need to find Indigo!”

Pest Management

•Sucking pests

Aphids

Scale

Mealybugs

Whitefly

Spider mites

•Chewing pests

Cabbage white butterfly

Tent caterpillars

Leaf beetle

Flea beetle

Tomato Horn Worm

Root borers

•Boring pests

Squash Vine Borer

•Human pests

Really good fences/barriers

Build solid neighborly relationships

Plant an extra biodiverse row for the “guests”

Pests have a sense of smell and peppermints, thymes and wormwoods are excellent players in keeping pests at bay.

Wormwood is the champion!

Basils and Dill deter the tomato horn worm.

Put in some trap crops or let a few of the trap crops grow. Poke weed, old mustards, cleome etc..

Plants, especially herbs, have essential oil’s which decimate viral infections, eliminate fungal and bacterial issues in humans as well as other plants. Rosemary and fennel can be dried and sprinkled to prevent slugs and snails.

Lavender, Oregano and Rosemary are particularly high in antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and act as strong remedies and preventives.

Tools and items to remove or treat the offending pests:

Dipel (Bt)

Dr Bronners peppermint soap in a 16oz. spray bottle. 3 teaspoons of soap per bottle and the rest water.

Spinosad

(Permethrin is synthetic and modeled after chrysanthemums which have insecticidal properties)

Neem oil

Diatomaceous earth

(DE)

Hand removing

Beneficial predators are:

Wasps

Lizards

Snakes

Spiders

Hornets

Ladybugs

Dragon flies

The program will provide an overview and what to do about the 4 basic pests in the garden or on the farm: sucking pests, chewing pests, boring pests, and human pests. Join farmer, trainer, soil alchemist, and worm whisperer Maurice Small as he digs deep on pest control and integrated pest management.

BASICS

Legal Name: Keltie Georgia Brown Nicknames/Alias: Kelt, Kel, Doc DOB: Jan 1 1993 Gender: cis female Sexuality: heterosexual, heteroromantic Place of Birth: Barking Public Hospital, London Currently: London Nationality: English   Day Occupation: Phlebotomist   Jolly Rancher Occupation: Poison/Serum maker

HISTORY Childhood/Family Life: Keltie was born to a 15 year old mother, a girl who was passed from gang member to gang member in order to way-lay the rent she and her family were late on. There has never been that much of an investigation on anyone’s behalf as to who her father was and Keltie doesn’t care to know. Her mother dropped out of school to raise her and took up many different jobs – all minimum wage or ‘free’ before falling into the drug scene and eventually overdosing when Keltie was 16. There was never much food on the table, contributing to the thin (often gaunt) look of Keltie as she grew up.   Education: Attended public schooling, fell in love with the sciences, excelling in particular at biology and chemistry. Awarded a scholarship (given to under privileged teen girls who strived in the sciences) to attend Imperial College London. Graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a year in industry and Research. Adult Timeline:  2011: awarded scholarship and enrols in Imperial College London. 2011: scholarship included student accommodation in campus living. 2012: took a job working at a pharmacy part time, also began to develop interest in researching illicit substances, probably due to her mother’s habitual use and eventual overdose. 2014: graduates with honours 2015: works in pharmaceutical research, easily bored and finds herself creating better recreational drugs for her old college friends. Begins to make a decent amount of money on the side 2017: connects with Jabberwocks and begins to work in the pharmaceutical creation, but finds herself bored with sticking to the strict guidelines 2019: decides to begin looking ‘elsewhere’ for more stimulating ways to create her own medicines mid-2020: Leaves the Jabberwocks after a rather good pitch from the Jolly Ranchers and spends an entire year creating a serum that will compel most people into ‘forgetting’ the part of their brain that stops them from saying what they’re thinking. 2021: starts human trials on the serum, tweaking what she needs to with several mistakes with local homeless people who are willing to trial her drugs for shelter and money – most of them happy to have a bottle of booze in exchange for 24hours with the drug maker. mid-2022: launches a serum to the Jolly Rogers to stop the inhibition reflex in 78% of people tested.

PERSONALITY

Positives:  +smart: Keltie has found a leg-up in life thanks to the way her brain can process large scientific concepts and produce rather good illicit substances and   +driven: Kel wants to be the best in her field and she is damn sure that she is.   +focussed: Oftentimes Keltie can go days on end without leaving her flat (or the basement of her flat, that is), this is both a positive and a negative trait that fluctuates depending on the situation.

Negatives:  -reclusive: Kelt loves her own space and isn’t really one to let people into her home. It’s chaos, but she knows where everything is and doesn’t like many people in her space.   -manipulative: Keltie often steals blood samples from the lab she works at and finds the quickest way to blame it on her colleagues or clerical errors. With doe eyes and a giggle, she can talk her way out of most situations.   -obsessive: have you seen her notebook? Speaks for itself, really.

Personality Type: ISTP – The Craftsperson

Archetype: The Alchemist

Likes & Dislikes:  + her iPad and Apple Pen + the smell of chimney smoke + writing notes all over her favourite chemistry texts when she finds a better or easier way to conduct a test   + cigarettes + coffee/energy drinks - sleep - being told she’s wrong - other people - small talk/chit chat - Wednesdays (pension day at the blood bank)

RELATIONSHIPS

Parents: Father unknown, Chrystalle Emilia Brown (deceased)   Siblings: None, though with her father unknown, there is a definite possibility to having half siblings. Children: None. Current Partner: [open] Ex-Partners: [open] Boss/Employer: [open]/NHS Co-Workers: [open] Friends: [open] Enemies: [open]

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Build: too-thin (gaunt and drawn looking) Hair Colour: light brown/dirty blonde Eye Colour: Grey, large black flick in left iris due to chemical reaction during experimentation in her teens Distinguishing Marks: black flick in left iris, several healed self-harm scars on right forearm, multiple chemical burn scars on her chest and stomach from experiments gone wrong.

The Dream Alchemist | September Update:

Just a little comparison. Top image is the redraw; bottom was the original that was going to be in the demo. It’s now the first scene of Felix’s route.

I had had zero digital art experience when I began making this game, and there’s a noticeable difference between the backgrounds from the demo, and the backgrounds from this route.

It will likely mean that I’ll have to redo some of the demo and Theo’s route art before I upload the game as a whole, but that’ll come after Alasdair’s route release anyway.

 Felix’s route is coming together surprisingly fast, especially compared to Atlas’, which had a bunch of last minute rewrites and character additions because the story really diverged from my original notes.

In this route, Nova joins the small rebellion that Felix had assembled on the Ssovhian side of the border to destabilise the war effort from within. They’re a motley bunch – a thief, a chemist, and a socialite, and Nova fits right in.

Though she still has to carve out her own role in the group, tricky considering they already have an alchemist – one that has skills beyond her training, all while dealing with a leader who tries to do everything himself.

So when Felix refuses help, and Nova realises they can’t do it alone any more, will reaching out to Alasdair for aid benefit or hinder their work to prevent war?

 We really ramp up the sexual tension in this route with three explicit scenes, and so far I have fifty stat building choices, but I’m thinking there’s another ten more choices that need to be written in.

Writing: 75% done / 27k words in. It will be longer than Theo’s route, shorter than Atlas’.

Art: 8 of 18 backgrounds completed.

Nova has 3 new outfits in this route (also complete).

Felix has a second look too, plus a couple shirtless scenes because why not?

There are three side characters: Georgia, Benji, Poppy. Georgia’s sprites complete, Benji and Poppy still need to be done.

Code: 60%ish done – always hard to judge since coding the sprites with changing expressions always seems to take longer than I think it will.

I was looking at a January/February release date for the third chapter of The Dream Alchemist, but at this rate I might even have it out before the end of the year.

See you next month!
