#WHICH I SPENT MONTHS ON

[viiisenyas]

If my brain disrupts my plot with a new idea that changes the entire story ONE MORE TIME

#this is why i cannot finish my asoiaf fic #i had to change the plot like 10 times and I’m not even joking #first it started out with a Robb ship but I didn’t like the chemistry (or lack thereof) with my oc #then it became a Jon ship #ok fine they have a cute thing going #not a big deal #i can keep Jonny boy from joining the NW because all the adults failed him in canon #And he gets to marry into a relatively wealthy House that’s pretty much one person away from going extinct #okay cool #and here’s where it gets really interesting 🧍🏽‍♀️my brain wants me to obliterate 40k words and get rid of the arranged marriage arc #WHICH I SPENT MONTHS ON #and just make it a whole ass forbidden romance thing #where Jon ends up becoming my oc’s household guard since she did actually offer to talk to her dad about it in *checks notes* chapter 5 #and now I feel obligated to do it because I’m a SAP for forbidden romances and jsjddhhfjdjffj #I WAS ALMOST DONE WITH THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF THIS LONGFIC 😭 #not that I was gonna publish it or anything but still #MONTHS #I’m gonna throw a fucking chair #i’m losing my mind #writing commentary #dumb ramblings #so anyways how are y’all tonight? 😅

"i can explain”, i promise the audience fervently after spending... *checks clock*... 12 hours in a row hyperfocusing on making this 16 panel comic of my persona meeting bob velseb

(that’s a lie. i can’t explain this. i haven’t slept in more than a day, i couldn’t explain how to draw a straight line.)  this is my persona, keegan. 

#bob velseb #spooky month #sr pelo #uhh hmm #bob velseb x reader #technically not but i guess thats the side of the fandom this might pander to #bob velseb x oc #i think that one's more accurate #i spent so much energy just trying to accurately imitate sr pelos art style #which is ridiculous because it's hypertoon so it should be easier #idk! #im already not happy with it but whatever whatever whatever

I made this back in January and kept it in my drafts ever since. I spent ages on a design for Artemis (and honestly I still think i took too much inspo from hades! Artemis) and for Apollo i soent like two seconds cause as long as the nipple is out it's fine lol

#Artemis #apollo #pjo #technically! cause it's my pjo designs for them😅 #ebart #I'm not entirely happy with either which is why i spent like two months considering whether or not to post it

the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.

"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak

"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.

"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.

#abby speaks #that fucking NYT article made me rage so much #needed to get this out #if this somehow makes you pissed at me go ahead the unfollow button is right there #I have always said that Palestinians deserve a state and I have always believed that Israel has a right to exist #the lack of knowledge at these “protests” shocks me - people don't know which river or which sea; they don't know about the hostages #free gaza from hamas #we are allowed to mourn the “protests” started before we'd even had a chance to. #I will never ever forgive or forget the people that have made mourning still feel impossible #I am not about to sit here and say that the Israeli government is blameless #however if you didn't know that 1000s of Israeli have spent the past year protesting against Netenyahu's right wing government shut up #we need actual solutions; neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere #and you guys need to start calling out the antisemitism in your movement #I have my doubts on that actually happening and you'll never see me donate to a lot of these causes again #the goy left has lost my respect and my trust and now it only has my side-eye #sorry for the rant in the tags it's been an exhausting few months

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #so like aliexpress used to have a terrible reputation in terms of like quality and truth in advertising and such right #but like. amazon and etsy are swamped with bootleggers and dropshippers now too #so I figured like. can't be any worse right? #besides I know how to double check descriptions and measurements and examine images critically #I've shopped shady sites before like back when banggood was the only place to get those cute diy miniature kits #(now you can get them at regular craft store chains which is Wild to me) #but I have never opened aliexpress because everyone was always just like 'Never Go There' #(but then again these days folks are doing massive temu hauls left and right) #(so clearly norms have changed even if common perception of aliexpress has not) #I open it up and I immediately find the rug I spent an entire day hunting for unsuccessfully earlier in the month. #and a ton of incredible bootleg kirbs. #and a style of hair clip I've been hunting for for *years*. #soooo I spent the entire day in a pastel fugue lol #(I have not spent any money yet but I'm probably gonna) #(so like I can't confirm that you're not gonna get scammed or whatever just like. use common sense.) #(don't trust sale prices read descriptions/reviews when available and try to avoid work stolen from independent artists) #(that's usually gonna be on printed stuff like phone cases and posters) #(and tbh I have no qualms with stolen official art as long as the quality is as advertised) #(but there's a big difference between stealing from Multinational Corporation and stealing from Some Guy) #anyway done rambling now <3

mitr'a's childhood drawings

(with some help from mutti)

#what i've spent my last month's lunch breaks on #started as gouache practice and quickly evolved #almost wore out my hand cleaning the edges up #:') #the level of 'a child could have drawn this' varies #but i find it reasonable enough #my works #mitr'a #theunbound #trivia: baby mitr'a thought wood wailers were some sort of musical insect until his aunt informed him #that they were mean masked elezen that had gotten bleached under the sun #which was both horrifying and disappointing #no cool bug? :(

Jessamine's design has always intrigued me. the stark, full black suit and tall collar are pretty obvious status symbols. black was for the longest time an incredibly expensive colour of fabric due to how difficult it was to achieve proper rich blackness during the dyeing process and the collar, while most likely just a trend in Dunwall fashion inspired by the 1890s high collars can be read as lace, especially in some concept art, which is hard to care for and needs to be starched to hell and back to keep nice and stiff for a collar like that

but what I find a lot more curious about this is that the clothes appear very much inspired by Spanish renaissance fashion

which, honestly, would make sense with the real world inspiration. 19th century was obsessed with the past, with the romanticized medieval and renaissance times, and it was quite common to see fashion inspired by times long past (I mean, just look at Worth. the man invented haute couture and there is so much influence of medieval and Elisabethan fashion in his designs). it was also a thing for rich families to just kinda... invest in recreations of historical pieces of clothing and LARP in them.

Jessamine's clothes, in particular, reminded me of Spanish court dresses. especially of the portraits of Anne of Austria and Elisabeth of Valois

obsessed with those slit sleeves. too bad Jessamine didn't go the extra mile to have the sleeves hang long and heavy around her arms but they were more form fitting

there is also something to be said about the tall white (possibly starched lace) collar and the style of clasps used on her clothes

the mini cape thing she has on top is more similar to the style of capes worn by men in renaissance, but yeah, of course she reminded me of a Spanish princess when this is one of the most given example portraits for this style

I wonder if this was an intentional choice on the designer's side or if they were just inspired by the revivalism present in 19th century fashion. what really makes me consider that though is that one of her earlier designs has those sleeves much, Much more pronounced and obvious

oh the things that could have been...

still, it makes me wonder: if this was intentional, what does this tell us about Jessamine, and the history of the Isles themselves?

#dh #dishonored #jessamine kaldwin #fashion history posting #I am not normal about this gown #me and sin even had an au where her and corvo are part of a fashion history reenactment group #still I wonder. does she just like the style? or is she just a little insane about fashion history like I am? #bias admission I spent two years working on a comic that had its entire aesthetic based around renaissance and its 19th century revival #so I might be seeing things where there are none #either way you are welcome Ive been meaning to make this post for Months at this point #we dont know if artificial black dye was already a thing at the time of DH1 #another curious thing though! #since this is before silvergraphs were invented Jessamine wouldve been painted in a Particularly Nice Outfit #like if youre gonna pay someone to paint you youre gonna pose in your best garb #and its the same fit she wore to welcome corvo back which means she dressed up nice for him #which I find really fucking cute #anyways heres my insane ramblings I hope you enjoyed

Figmin XR is now a top-selling app on the Quest store and my favorite part about it finally blowing up is seeing Random Tech Dudes who just do NOT get it all:

"oh no, a whimsical environment full of rainbows, unicorns, fairies, and other stereotypically feminine and/or childish imagery. DISGUSTING. better compare this to the Vapid Youths and their Myspace pages"

like sorry you hate fun I guess??? (the person this guy was talking to responded with "this is appealing to children, who also use technology", which is the correct answer, btw)

#incessant meowing #i'm so glad no one uses tumblr so i have at least one place to talk shit lmao #i've spent the better part of this month just casually seeing strangers publicly discuss my art which has been wild #most people love it and i am grateful 🙏 but it's still mostly just anxiety central to be honest #this is the kind of thing you dream of as an artist but now that's it's actually happening it's like OH FUCK!! #i am being Perceived #anyways i have to go back to making MORE FUNLOVING WHIMSICAL VIDEOS #i haven't been here much but i hope everyone is having a good october and looking forward to halloween

I just realized that Ekaterin Vorkosigansaga's maiden name is Vorvayne because the structure and nature of her and Miles's romance are heavily inspired by Sayers's Wimsey novels, in which the romantic heroine is called Harriet Vane.

#I've never read the wimsey novels even though I have been vaguely aware of their existence since before I went through puberty #for some reason I spent a long time thinking that Lord Peter Wimsey was a wizard detective lol #but in these months I've been hyperaware of them because I keep making all these Bujold vs. Dunnett comparisons in my head #on so many topics very relevant to my heart #and I once had a theory that Bujold was inspired by Dunnett but I kept thinking that #this can't be true #because if it's true then Bujold misconstrued or ignored a lot of what Dorothy was saying in pretty in-your-face ways #and then I realized nah #they were both inspired by Sayers #they had the same parting point and each seems to have taken the elements they liked and made them her own #and each developed and elaborated on those elements while introducing other unique elements of her own from other sources #which makes a lot more sense and makes for a fascinating comparative reading project :3 #vorkosigan saga #lord peter wimsey
