*covered in blood and dirt* I did my best at drawing in the lovely @autiacorart's gorgeous style!
ever since i saw your Connor with his sparkly eyes and luscious curly hollywood heartthrob forelock, i've had the mightiest urge to have a go at drawing him!! very ambitious of me, but damn, was it a fun (if very difficult lol) challenge :''D
Thank you so much for doing this challenge with me and for sharing your stunning work with this community. Your artistic flexibility knows no bounds with the way you pull on our heartstrings, make us laugh, and awe us with some of the most badass artwork i've ever seen <3 <3 <3
>>>>AUTIACORA'S PART OF THE CHALLENGE <<<< so goodddd
Also, this was me trying to attempt the lineart the first time (had a great time with it though :''D)

Bart Allen number 12?
I adore your art btw!!
A Bart Allen/Impulse in Palette 12 comin at ya!!
Thanks so much for the request of Bart, it’s been so long since I’ve drawn my boi and I had a blast with this-your palette choice was super fun to work with as well! 🙌
Thanks so much for the request and the kind words, hope you like how it turned out! 😊
(It’s been a bit more than a year since my last Color Palette Challenge, so this has been a fun challenge to revisit; was looking through the ones from last year and found another Bart request that I had done-check it out here if you want a comparison from my style then and now!)

There is something sobering about reading a fic that hasn't been updated in years, and then clicking over to the author's profile to find that it's the last thing they updated....they didn't switch fandoms or anything, they just stopped posting altogether.

finally got around to reading Black Adam (2022), and it was... weird. didn't love it, didn't exactly hate it, but idk something about it bothered me enough that i got curious & went digging just to see if i could find anything about the creative process or whatever. i don't really know what i was expecting honestly, but jesus fucking christ. the behind the scenes of this book is straight up depressing. if you look at the few interviews priest did in chronological order, you can literally watch dc suck the life out of it and him both in real time

jake oettinger postgame — WPG vs DAL — 02.29.24
[we talk about your resiliency a lot, just, you know, whether it’s just from period to period or game to game — just how important was that, from tuesday to today? just, you know, joe said the team helped you out too, but for yourself as well.] yeah, i think, uh — yeah, it hasn’t been, like, the easiest year, mentally. um, so, just … you know, i’ve got a good group of people that believe in me, and i believe in myself. and, um, you know, i — i, you know. it’s hard, like — sometimes, you do all the right things, and it doesn’t go your way, and that’s when it’s the most frustrating thing. and, uh, you know, i’ve — i’ve had great moments this year, and i’ve had moments that haven’t been great, so, just trying to … day in and day out, just trying to be a great goalie for this team, uh, you know. and you know, no matter what people say about me or anything like that, i know i can get the job done. so, i’ll never not believe that, and, uh — you know, yeah.
[what does a hundred wins mean?] it’s crazy. uh, just — blessed to be in the position i’m in, and, uh, i’m just — i love being on this team and being a part of this organization. i’m just — feel like the luckiest guy in the world. and it feels like yesterday i got my first win, so just … you know, every win, i never take for granted, and, um, i hope i can be here for a lot more.

deeply enjoy that the novel can also be read as a commentary on the fallacy of information. we have zzs as the main narrator who adds to this nuance by being a former spymaster and leader of a bunch of proficient investigators. hes very intimate with the process of verification of information, and even his vast databank of knowledge and his abilities of filtering and sorting the "true" from the "fake" is tested throughout the novel through many instances and events. its especially interesting because he makes a major mistake, almost from the very start, that he resolves only after a very long time, and only after overcoming personal weaknesses. his personal weakness at recognizing truth vs decept reveals itself in the inability to meet personal events with a human perspective; he is basically functioning like a person with two lives, and most of the time, he at least acts as if he is regarding wkx, suspected master of ghosts, from the professional business grounds of the retired leader of shadows rather than from the perspective of a person with an adventurous life and wishes of his own. in this lies the danger to misinterpret and to refuse to confront what is truly going on. if zzs cant 'find' the "true reason" for the ghost master following his humble retired self, he is going to do his utmost to make up one (on the basis of his personal and professional experience with such situations), instead of considering at least once the admittedly unlikely chance that wkx might like him and is even deeply sincere about him. this doesnt signal anything less but that we, as the reader, should not irrevocably trust even the one person who is in most stories the most trustworthy; the main narrator. instead, we are advised to reserve us the right to doubt and think for ourself, to look critically upon even zzs, which only circles back to the novel's theme of the fallacy of information. it even lends to the novel's dialogue with the human right to form your own opinion and your own thoughts and come to your own conclusions, no matter how much they might diverge from norm or mainstream or traditions, and no matter how tempting it might be not to.
