Vana, the Ever-young. Spouse of Orome. She was probably one of my faves to draw. I deeply love flower/greenery inspired designs.

Can I ask some lore about your project? 😗
I was really interested in what it is and what it is eaten with
*goes feral*
Ah yes, of course I can share some details with you about our lovely little project.
First off, (not necessarily lore,) it is heavily in development, and we have a discord server with like 6 amazing people (mostly artists) helping me make the show a reality.
In said show we are planning to discuss various harsh topics and discuss many ongoing issues within life and the child upbringing, adding many colorful and musical themes to go along with such dark themes. Do not mistake this for a depressing show, for it all has a light and beautiful purpose. This is being created to comfort and help children, though an older audience will be expected and cared for; as long as it’s not at the expense of the children, of course. Perhaps a more appropriate version of DHMiS, if you are chronically online.
I have been approached by several people that insist I make it much more like Welcome Home or DHMIS, of which is still being considered.
Mr. Smith is a heavy bit of the lore, both being one of the mains and one of my first characters written. (He did indeed have a love interest being written, but he was scrapped; much to Mr. Smiths dismay.) not all of our characters have been posted about or announced, so keep an eye out for them!
The lore is awfully vague and hidden, due to the fact that I want it to come out with a bang and be a fresh new beginning; the likes of which people haven’t seen. I apologize deeply for my vagueness.
It is eaten with breadcrumbs and a 52 year old polish cheese, but only if it has been blessed by a goat. (but it is not goat cheese.)
I hope you stick around, we have much more coming your way!!!
—Van Vana

I love your streamers au!! What are some of the streamers you watch irl?
best question 🫡
Ray (clip) variety gamer, memey, big chat, straight man but the whole stream is queer af LMAO he’s a magnet for us he's my no. 1 recommendation for anyone who wants streamer AU vibes, or is enjoying ATWS but isn't familiar with twitch. he's a big channel, real professional setup, so quick witted, hes so gay for his wife, and the chat is QUINTESSENTIAL twitch, but not the toxic kind. i love it here. (more clips!)
Bunchata & StarPyrate, often streaming together!! (clip) (artist, vtubers, live2d, memey, chaotic)
Pren (clip) variety gamer & artist, vtuber, memey, nsfw jokes and themes
MOONBTCH (clip) variety gamer & artist, vtuber, memey, stimmy adhd chaos
Vana (clip) variety gamer, very community, funny, wholesome, skilled VA, accessible, tabletop collabs
GlassesJournal (clip) cosy variety gamer, memey, very community, wholesome, Ray’s head mod so there’s a lot of making fun of Ray
and so many artists:
Manda, Tibi3D (3d), BarghestBlack, Sulhya (FR, traditional), MOONBTCH, Kuroamaa (live2d), almalvo (good omens!!)

(Need a small advice for a thing I am working on) You explain very well difference between neighboring concepts all times I was asking, so I want to ask you: you have an Imagination kwami (the Chameleon), how would you define its difference from Creation? While I'd say that the Ladybug has a bit more of inventor air than artist, more pragmatic, but one of the main reasons Marionette is associated with the Ladybug's idea of Creation is via her artistic hobby (designs).
Well, well, let's dive into it.
To understand creation vs imagination in my works, we need look no further than the partner concepts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tikki remains with Plagg as they are Creation and Destruction. With Plagg's domain in mind, Tikki is purely creation. Imagination does normally run parallel to creative people, but you don't have to be imaginative to create. Pretty cut dry and simple.
Now we come to Vana. Vana's partner is Gimmi, Reality. Reality obviously being all we know as true and the unending hell we live through. Gimmi is that harsh, cruel, but beautiful reality while Vana is the escape. Vana is imagination in the sense of dreams, fantasies, any means to escape reality.
In other words, Tikki is the act of creation as a whole. When things need to be created, that's her domain. Hence why Plagg is her opposite to balance creation with utter destruction. On the other side, Vana is escapism. He is often lost to his own wild imagination, thoughts, and dreams that Gimmi needs to ground him back to reality.

Bestfriendsclub -> Musaics
Muse: Source of inspiration for an artist Mosaic: a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small colored pieces
Changing URLs because bestfriendsclub was so long and I didn't like looking at it. I gotta update all the links in my carrd uuughhgfds
Purin -> Syd
I know in the last year or so I transitioned from Vana to Purin, but I'm not vibing with Purin. While Vana felt too fem, Purin feels too.. Silly. Petname-y. A term of endearment. And I don't wanna ask y'all to call me that, yknow?
So we're settling with Syd. My given name is Sydney and 'Syd' is a nickname I've grown really attached to in the last 2-3 years because it feels very neutral to me and I like that. Syd was my OG pen name 100 years ago anyway.
So, please call me Syd! I'm very set on this one and I doubt I'll change it again. Thanks for being so understanding. Also, I won't be upset if you still call me Purin/Vana if that is what you are used to :)

one of my irls has actually fully altered my brain chemistry, cause i was watching a twitch stream of someone who also makes music (Vana, check her out, banger songs) and she went through her artist wrapped, and my first thought on one of the pages was "imagine the beatles looking at theirs, just a bunch of old guys like "omg 1.8 quadrabillion listens *old man noises*" Bro I used to think about the beatles maybe once a year at most, what have i become!!!

► BIOGRAPHY
TW; Religion mention
Nirvana was born with a gift to appreciate the unusual. At least, that's how her aunt would explain her all-black attire and obscurely-colored hair phase at family events. She was always a square peg in a round hole. This was something she grew used to and actually favored her individuality. There was a part of her that pitied the other girls who attempted to fit in when she grew up being shamelessly herself. Though she was labeled as an outcast, she still had something about her that drew people in. She had a great group of friends, and her fair share of experimental relationships. In short: she didn't miss anything, but she wouldn't have cared if she did. Her aunt was the one who taught her about spirituality after Nirvana had a paranormal experience at the age of 5. Whilst being in a Catholic household, Nirvana and her aunt would often sneak in order to practice their own eclectic belief. Magic, tarot cards, seances, you name it - Nirvana has dabbled in it. What no one was expecting was for her to make a career move out of it. It started in high school, she helped assist her teacher in their paranormal investigation group. It was through this teacher that she learned about anomalies and the role of the paranormal in anthropology. Her job as an investigator was just the groundwork for her BA in Anthropology with a specialization in Women and Minority Studies where she learned more about the occult across various religions and cultures as well as witchcraft and the impact and power women have within interaction, at the University of Exeter. She then went on to gain a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stockon University in NJ. Currently, Nirvana is working on her PhD at NYU with an individualized specialization/research concentration in Parapsychology. At this point in her career, she can be seen as an expert in the occult. She actually works to help victims/survivors of cults, is still a researcher for a paranormal investigation team, and is also hosts a podcast about horror movies, the paranormal and the occult.
► PERSONALITY (DEEP DIVE)
Nirvana is one of those people who can attract and attract and attract, but still feel alone underneath the surface. She loves knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge; If she could be a student her whole life, she would. This combination of coming across as approachable but also seeming highly intelligent, is very intimidating to most. Though, if one were to sit and speak with Nirvana, they would see she has a heart big enough to match her mind and is just an obscure nerd in her own right. She can be sarcastic and condescending if someone asks a question she deems as 'stupid'. She's known to bully as her type of flirting. She's actually not online, and prefers it that way. She's clever and witty and goes on passion-dump sprees pretty often about a new book she's reading, or about her research or podcast. She loves people who have a sense of humor. Nirvana is more introverted than extroverted and also has a busy schedule, so it may be hard to reach her at times and she's well aware of this. If she values someone, she makes sure she sets time aside for them. She's really a big mushy nerd guys, but she has so many phases and you never know what you're gonna get when you meet her. She's moon-coded, okay?

Various Artists — Stop MVP: Artists from WV, VA and NC Against the Mountain Valley Pipeline (War Hen)
Tumblr media
The Mountain Valley Pipeline, if it’s ever finished, will stretch over more than 300 miles in rural Wester Virginia and Virginia, crossing environmentally sensitive parts of the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains carrying dangerous, polluting loads of fracked gas. The League of Conservation Votes estimates that the pipeline will generate more than 89 million metric tons of greenhouse gas pollution annually, about as much as 24 average U.S. coal plans or 19 million passenger cars. Building it will require razing forests that have been sequestering carbon for centuries.
It’s a climate catastrophe, and because it runs through an area that is rich in musical history and culture, it has become a focus for artists and activists, including Daniel Bachman, who organized this 40-track compilation in protest of the pipeline. All proceeds from STOP MVP will go to the Appalachian Legal Defense Fund to support protesters resisting the pipeline’s construction.
That is, of course, one compelling reason to buy this set of music, but it is very far from the only one. The music here is exceptionally diverse and almost uniformly excellent. If you look at the cover and envision a steady stream of earnest folk songs, punctuated by some fingerpicking, think again. Certainly that’s represented on these two discs, but so is noise and rock and punk and hip hop and even, at the end, a stirring piece of gospel that will steel you for the cause.
There’s so much music here that it’s hard to get a grip on it all, but let’s hit some highlights. Magic Tuber String Band’s haunted, haunting rendition of “Undone in Sorrow” is both staunchly traditional and absolutely modern in its lament for a natural world gone haywire. Isak Howell, similarly, finds something potent and bracing in minor key picking. Solar Hex straddles baroque classical cello and folk lament, and there are indeed four crows cawing in the background to “Stone Wall with Four Crows.” My favorite discovery in this lengthy, skewed-folk all-star line-up comes from Høly Riot’s “Spirit Riot,” which kicks up a feeling-the-lord-speaking-in-tongues ruckus with its driving, droning ecstasies.
Some of the cuts are literally about the MVP pipeline, like Joshua Vana and Bernadette “BJ” Lark’s full-throated, heart-swelling “To the River,” while others reference the area’s long history of industrial subjugation. “The Dolly Womack Wreck” retells the story of an old-time train wreck, where the engineer was flayed alive by steam from a broken boiler. “The Coal Tattoo,” sung by Bachman’s father, is about his father’s death in a mine explosion. The hip hop/electronic “John Brown” by Appalachian rapper Prolo chronicles generations of poverty and racism in the region.
A lot of well known folk and indie artists have chipped in. There are tracks from Sally Anne Morgan, Ned Oldham, Nathan Bowles, Rosali Middleton (as Edsel Axle). Yasmin Williams and Bachman himself. But the real tribute to Bachman’s taste, restless song-hunting and open-minded-ness comes from the bands you might not be familiar with, the eerie soundscapes of Tallulah Cloos, the beefy country rock of Tucker Riggleman and the Cheap Dates, the unhinged noise of Dog Scream. The mountains and valleys threatened by MVP are rich in plant and animal diversity, but also musical breadth, and this compilation brings them all together for a worthy cause.

“What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing?”
Mr. Sunny Smith loves Kermit! (Maybe that’s why he stole his Banjo; and Mr. Smith doesn’t condone theft!). Something Mr. Smith might love more than Kermit, is each and every one of our Rainbow Connection!
I can’t draw backgrounds—if any of you can, I’ll hire you for the project 😭🙏🏼

just went on a tirade against VANA hq or whatever its called fuck AI art pay actual artists to do art 
humans look at references and draw inspiration from them
AI looks at references and sees it as samples
artwork from a human artist is actual art inspired from the source references and art movements the artist gets inspiration from, AI 'art' takes the base picture and uses the coded art 'references' as 'filters', like when you get a 'starry night edit!!!1!1111'
anyways i didnt spend 5 hours on a single profile portrait for my cousins website to see this AI motherfuckery try to overtake the commision world bc if you download the app it's free! guess what it looks like shit my firend 
AND I TOOK COMMISSIONS A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES IN MY ENTIRE LIFE because my main source of income is not art. motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyways i clearly have a lot of opinions about this, thanks for coming to my ted talk

Forse da fiordo - Stéphane Pennellec è finlandense - forse no.
Non lo sappiamo, è una fortuna non saperlo.
Perché ne vediamo tanti, di turisti in crociera su balaustre poggiati ("from a moving boat", dice Stéphane).
I più tendendo ad una incerta orizzontalità, i meno alla ricerca di spumeggianti effetti di facile contentatura (grazie papà Sergio per l'efficace espressione).
Poi arriva Stéphane.
Non interessa l'intelleggibilità del luogo, a Stéphane.
Interessa esercitare sua intelligenza, a Stéphane.
Sapete, quella parte del cervello i cui neuroni sono deputati a suscitar poesia.
L'arte di approdare ad astrazione traverso letterale irriconoscibilità.
Che abdicando a primigenio segno, novello ne crea.
Dal deciso all'evanescente, questa la progressione.
Arcuati tratti di penna, salendo soavemente tendono all'estinzione.
Ci sono tecniche per questo, lo sapete.
Ergo, alta artigianalità.
Vana epperò, se non ispirata da canto.
Ed aligero s'eleva, il canto di Stéphane.

f h story spoilers
honestly shoutout to seithr for literally having the best protagonist arc/ending of literally all the protagonists. no shitty boss to be subservient to for no reason like peo + ash, no life debt to the order like literally everyone else. just "im free to live my life" and sora-ing her other universe selves into her own consciousness/heart/whatever and just thirsting over the person reading this together with them. you go girl.
overall i think this book was weird but it was not bad imo. the person reading this thirst was kinda silly, both in the story context and the unnecessary divide it had in the fandom. it was definitely a more provocative take on it than other characters just being like "i kinda sorta like you uuuu/////" which is fine when its one person imo. the characters were decent. i think the only one i didnt like so much was gull veig and thats mostly for the uwu sadboi stuff w her character that i think kinda detracted from a story where maybe she's a cold and calculating "this is the only outcome" force of nature/inevitability/whatever sorta thing. (and tbh a lot of that was from cyl which was sorta eh. too bad cant help that) as far as ner thus i think shes kinda a fun "interpretation villain". like im glad a lot of people see her as the true villain/manipulator of the book bc i def get that vibe, but i know if she wasnt a busty lady and instead was a guy that the same fans would see absolutely no faults with her :/ but take what you can get i guess.
i still am a njorthur enjoyer and i like his motivation, i wish theyd just fleshed it out more. like he sees humans wasting the seas, wasting the land, killing each other senselessly. hes a stickler for good conduct and he sees humans/mortals as slovenly and disgusting and having degraded (and maybe looks down on them extra hard for in his eyes corrupting his family members, like his sisters obsession w them as well as his kids/relatives its unclear). i dont mind that his motivations arent revenge and actually i think itd be funny if the twins are the children of another sibling of him and ner thuz, completely subverting that whole plot. in my fic i think it still works, bc hed see eitr as a family member who got corrupted by mortals and turned into a nasty kidnapper
i honestly dont mind the designs and actually compared to 5 and 6 with the same illustrator it was a breath of fresh air. i do think theres an unfortunate kinda "sameface" ey trend with a lot of character designs (poor elm) but i like the idea of the loose, kinda otohime esque robes of the vana characters. kinda wish theyd get a new illustrator for every book, it would make the character designs stand out more imo. tbh i feel like another person shouldve done b5. i can accept that 3 and 6 are same as 1 bc they all focus around askr + embla but i think 5's mech designs wouldve looked cool with a different artist, + the cringe meme faces would have maybe been less irritating
anyways i honestly hope that the next book isnt asgard, just like ive hoped for the last two book reveals. but give me some time to finish my fucking fanfic first. i guess ill give my thoughts on my fic when i finish it. honestly works been so bad this year i havent had as much time for it as id have liked rip
