#I tried harder thanks

Cut through the veil of yesterday

to see the edge of tomorrow

resting on the precipice of possibility

like one million butterflies tossed into oblivion

with infinite probabilities

odds of changing the world

or worse

one another

Hi there! Just wanted to say I love your art, especially the art piece you made of that “Pastel Moon” or “Daytime Moon” you did.

I saw in your tags to even describe what he might be like, and I just so happen to be a bit of an aspiring writer.

So I’d like to say the character you made is less intense with getting those around him to sleep, but more to either calm down or have fun. And unlike most animatronics, he isn’t showing any parts of his metal frame. Instead, he is made from a child-friendly (and person safe) fluffy, plush material (think more like a mattress or a pillow.)

This gives him the ability to be really nimble and light in his movements, enough to possibly jump over a fully grown adult.

Anyways, hope you don’t mind this long ask.

Have a good day and keep up the amazing art!

YEESSSS THANK YOU!!! This is so perfect it makes me warm and fuzzy asdfghkks I love the idea of daytime moon being more focused on calming folks down rather than sleeping it suits him really well!!!

Also I HAD to draw him jumping over some poor worker just trying to do their job. They're still a gremlin,,, just,, chiller. If you bore him he'll find his own entertainment lmao

#thank you to Grace for the idea of making his chivarly collar red bull instead <33333 #he was gonna have both collars but then making that one made me suffer so no not today #this was a lot of fun but also made me suffer. but i keep looking at it and being like AAAHHHHH BABY!!! BABY BOY!!!!!!! #can you believe i tried to do this in one night? i cant #i stopped and came back to it and was like 'no way you could do this in one sitting at 1 am' #this is kinda the ascended form of that very first sketch i made for this au! concentrated boy king sebby!!! #i say to myself i need to take a break from drawing complicated things but youll prob see a nando version of this in less than a week ;;; #okay about the drawing(i wrote good tags and then tumblr deleted them so these are a bit inferior AGH): #this is typical pouty seb but is also referenced off a specific pic from AD 2009(beloved) #its very important to me how emotionally open Seb is. im not sure the specific context of this. maybe after a triumph? #but instead of being that typical stoic serious detached kind of ruler; i like him being openly emotional(think AD 2010) #its important as well for his dichotomy with nando and how they choose to portray themselves #seb is very assured in himself and his rule vs. nando who is more insecure and bitter about his #so nando takes strides to portray himself in that more stoic calculating way bcs he feels like it helps him legitimize himself better #whereas seb has absolutely no care for outward public image and shows how he feels and is loved for it(nando hates it but loves it) #not that nando cant be fun and whimsical!! but to me he always seems a bit more mysterious; like i can never tell his true thoughts tbh #anyways i feel like ill finish 10 more drawings before i end up posting the lore pt 2 LMAO #its just a lot harder to organize and layout compared to part 1 which was just an explanation #pt2 would be a mix of more world building/characterization/anecdotes ive talked about with mutuals(LOVE YOU GUYS!!!) #i have a *lot* of ideas (gotta whip out my notes app every once in a while to write down stuff abt it) just hard to put into a coherent pos #sebastian vettel #f1 #formula 1 #f1 art #formula 1 art #f1 fanart #formula 1 fanart #catie.art. #*ill prob make a process post later if anyone is curious!! its fun to write abt my process and influences and such #boy king au

It has been *checks watch* 2.5 months since I last yelled about how much I love Aric Jorgan so it's TIME TO DO IT AGAIN

#queen in space #aric jorgan #swtor #i didn't keep the bottom one #much as i love the banter and his playful tone on the ''what makes you think there's gonna be a next time?'' #(seriously i could not fangirl harder over how well tim omundson voiced him if i TRIED) #i went with the actually thanking him for it bc that's good manners

15 and 19 for the whump asks!

15. Favorite comfort trope?

When someone expects to be hurt or degraded or taken advantage of, and it just—doesn't happen. They've been on such a hair-trigger for so long that they don't know how to deal with it, so they lash out, or hurt themselves, or ask to be hurt already because the waiting is worse than the happening at this point, but all they get is genuine love and understanding and it's a fucking struggle to deal with that even though it is, in the long run, exactly what they need.

Also hugs. I think the universe could do with more normally-unhuggable characters getting hugs. My favorite thing.

19. A song you listen to while doing your whump enjoyer activities

I was going to say that I don't listen to music while writing, but let's be honest, I listen to music in the car all the time while playing character-centric music videos in my head, so: Gasoline by Halsey was a big one for a loooooong time!

From this ask meme!

#ask #personal #ciaran #HI CARYS <3 I tried to not make this Hazbin exclusive for u klxcjfg THANK YOU #I think part of my appreciation for hugs is that they often take place in a moment where it COULD have been a kiss #but for whump the hug just hits harder

[khihi]

they should invent skin that doesnt make you want to rip your own face off

#i hate eczema i hate eczema i hate eczema #i hate that it's treated like a low-level childish condition #i hate that there's no real cure i hate that doctors literally do not give a shit about it #i hate that it makes leaving the house every day even harder because not only does it hurt but i know i look gross #i hate that when it gets really bad there's always someone who will make the same comment every time without fail #'oh my 5 year old niece had that but we cured it with [insert misc home remedy here] have you tried that?' #no i havent but tbh if steroid cream doesnt help i dont think a porridge facemask is gonna do much but thanks #sorry for just arriving back on here and complaining but im going insane #/rant

A Blessing from Branch to Sapling

Post Malikah's Well. Oscar attempts to up his Paladin training again. This gets the attention of Feo Ul.

His hands were shaking.

The training grounds were at an unusual peace. Gentle birdsong and distant chatter filled a space normally filled with shouting and the clatter of metal.

And yet, Oscar's hands were still shaking. His old shield was somehow tightly held in his grip and a million yalms away.

This was a problem. He was the only other member of their group with training in defensive fighting. If something were to happen to Thancred again. If his friend were to fall. If Thancred were to fall. If another friend were to... die.

"You are crying, my sweet sapling." Oscar could feel Feo Ul's hands on his cheeks before he heard their voice. The shield fell from his hands as his Branch reached out to wipe a tear from his eyes.

"Uh Feo-"

"Tell me." They interrupted, eyes hardening. "Who was it that laid their hands upon my sweet sapling?!"

Oscar stood for a moment, simply blinking as he watched Feo Ul. A gentle smile formed on his face. He couldn't help it. Not in the face of his kind Branch. He felt lucky to have such a kind friend.

"Please don't worry, Feo Ul. I am hale. I was just thinking of a friend." He explained quietly. His eyes followed them if only to keep from looking at what he had dropped.

"One of your dear friends?" They question looking to where he would not.

"Yes. A very dear friend. He was like a brother to me. He-" Oscar paused, for a second he wondered if he had spoken to anyone about Haurchefaunt's death before. He had not. Not really. Perhaps he should. "Perhaps I should explain."

---

"Ah, how ephemeral your mortal lives are. Such has always been a part of your beauty and yet..." Feo Ul sits gently on Oscar's shoulder as he finishes. "And such is why you gaze at your shield so?"

Oscar nodded wordlessly.

"Mmhmm." Feo Ul hummed, before flying off his shoulder. "Oh my dear sapling, how many times must I tell you?" They gripped his chin. "If you are in need of my aid, then ask for it!"

He could only watch in awe as the shield he had dropped floated up to his eye level and began to change.

"Here a blessing from branch to sapling." Feo Ul explained proudly the moment the change ended.

"Thank you, my lovely branch."

#Thank you for reading. #Oscar still has a long road ahead of him #tried to fill my own writing prompt #but he will not be alone #Feo Ul was harder to write than I thought #hopefully i'm just being my worst critic #heavensward spoilers #shadowbringers spoilers #Oscar Moreau #Feo Ul #ffxiv #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14

Trigun spoilers!! (Maximum and Stampede)

Ok, I'm gonna talk about the whole *trying to get someone to shoot you to prove that they actually believe what they're saying* thing as its been presented so far in tristamp and compare it to trimax. It's not super comprehensive, mostly based on the scene with Vash and Wolfwood in vol 2 of maximum and episode 10 in stampede with Meryl, Roberto, and Conrad.

Ok, so I'm re-reading trimax while re-watching tristamp as my roomate watches it, and I noticed this. Here, Wolfwood says "If you really believe I'm wrong, pull the trigger." He wants Vash to shoot/kill him to prove his resolve.

Here, Conrad seems to ask Meryl and Roberto the same. If Meryl really thinks he's a monster who is killing and torturing, she should kill him in order to stop him. If she really believes that, she should kill him.

These are two instances of a character asking to be killed by a person who criticized them (in trimax for killing Rai-Dei, and in tristamp for torturing/experimenting on children), so that they can prove their resolve.

Of course these are different situations. Even in that panel, Wolfwood wants Vash to kill him so that Vash can do it again, to save himself in the future. Wolfwood wants Vash to be able to protect himself. He thinks that it would be just to die to teach Vash how to live. Whereas Conrad really doesn't want Meryl to shoot him. He even justifies himself, "But before you strike me down, know that you're eliminating a world of possibilities."

I think these similarities say more about Vash and Meryl's characterization in relation to each other than Wolfwood and Conrad. Vash responds like this:

He is actively refuting Wolfwood. No, he's obviously not going to shoot him, but he has an answer. On the next page he says "You... told me back then... that my face looked better with a real smile. If you could see yourself through my eyes now... you'd see a man forcing himself to play the devil while his own heart cries out." Vash sees through Wolfwood. He sees Wolfwood's concern and kind personality and how he tries to justify his actions and life experiences.

In comparison, Meryl in tristamp, also is obviously not going to shoot Conrad, but she doesn't seem to have an answer to that. She says "poor baby" about Elendira, but doesn't really respond to Conrad. (Granted, she might've had time to come up with one if Elendira didn't start attacking them. Or she might not have considered Conrad worth a response.) Interestingly, Roberto does have an answer.

I admit I am biased toward trimax over tristamp, but I do love how they work with Meryl's character in tristamp. In this way, we can see her contrasted with Vash's personality. She holds similar ideals to him, but Vash (as a 150-something year old) knows his ideals, and he knows what he believes, why he believes it, etc. Meryl, however is still learning. Roberto is teaching her.

This is a different perspective than Vash (again, they are talking to different people about different beliefs, but still). Vash responds by pulling at the fact that Wolfwood shouldn't want to die to better other people, but the fact that he does shows some good in him. He wants to be good (kind, helpful), but he expresses it in a way that makes it seem like he's being cruel. Vash points that out, that Wolfwood doesn't have to resort to this. However, Roberto doesn't point out the specific action of asking to be shot to prove a point but Conrad's hypocrisy. While Vash points out the action, Roberto points out the reasoning behind it.

Vash gets Wolfwood wanting to protect and help him, just not the action of getting him to shoot him. Roberto doesn't really acknowledge the asking to get shot part, but the fact that Conrad isn't and won't help anyone.

So yeah, I don't have a complete conclusion to what I think about this, but I thought it was interesting. I think it could be a cool insight into how Roberto influence's Meryl's worldview in tristamp and how it is both similar and differs from Vash.

Like, if tristamp Meryl was placed in Vash's shoes in this scene in the manga, Wolfwood asking her to shoot him to prove that killing is bad, how would she respond? Would she take a page out of Roberto's book and instead of pointing out what Vash does (You don't have to act cruel to get your kindness across), she might point out that killing him wouldn't make killing anyone else easier or some inconsistency with his logic.

Whereas Vash is more emotionally-focused (what feelings are here and where do they come from), Meryl is more logically-focused (the world doesn't work like that), which originates from Roberto? (And the purpose of it coming from Roberto is just to make it more obvious, there's a story to this part of her personality that we can see, so we are more aware?)

Let me know your thoughts, I could be totally wrong, I just got excited when I noticed the similarities in these scenes.

Here's another doodle I made of a South Park character at least a month ago from today, Principal Victoria, my beloved lady 😳💍💖

Honestly she's somewhere in my top two favorite characters in the entire show! So when I realized she was replaced by a new principal fella my heart broke, then I felt the need to basically doodle her being no longer principal while feeling kinda salty about it y'know? How you'd probably feel when losing your job and getting replaced- 😩

Honestly the idea of a character who is reasonable and normal (To a degree-) in a town like South Park is hilarious to me, so I really do miss her ;v;

#principal victoria #south park #fanart #doodle #art #help I miss her so much #the gay urge in me bro to draw her more often #ignore the janky hands pls I swear I can somewhat draw hands decently if I tried harder- #actually just ignore how janky everything is thank you <3

would it be completely unhinged to make like collages or some shit with the ridiculously emo song lyrics that have been rattling around my head lately and then hang them up so that I can stare at them and have feelings or whatever

'i used to be a real go getter. i used to think it'd all get better' #why does pete wentz understand me better than anyone else could ever hope to you know #said a few of these quotes to friends cause one is depressed and i was like have u tried emo music? #and the other friend kept being like are you fucking okay. lol #anyway 'whats the closest you can come to an almost total wreck and still walk away all limbs intact' #thank you for the everything jawbox. if nobody else got me i know late 90s/early 00s post/melodic hardcore/emo bands got me
