realised yesterday just how often hozier actually used to sing about being not quite alive, not feeling like a person, about loving someone in a way that defies death and made him more alive, about suffering death for love. it's like he was constantly being buried underground and unearthed by love, over and over, which, while romantic in a way, is also incredibly sad. but i think it's interesting how his latest album (literally called 'unreal unearth') takes this idea and makes it its central theme. that's what this album is, one man's descent into the underworld. except, crucially, he makes it to the other side, and ends the album saying the darkness will come again, but this time he is "never going back [to hell] again." it feels like such a full-circle moment considering the rest of his discography and i'm so very excited to see what comes after this

#idk he might go back to being buried and unalive but maybe this is really the end of that... #when he was singing his most popular non album songs during the concert yesterday i was like huh he really does #sing about death a lot. interesting #hozier #it was great btw! he sang abstract and francesca AND jackie and wilson and cherry wine and movement #so all my favourites basically #and hearing take me to church live was actually such a slay which i was not expecting #and he talked abt gaza which i was so happy abt and was very grateful towards his band and crew #just a great night all around #jasmine has thoughts #i knew it was a lot bc that's kind of his reputation (boo) but i didnt realise how much it actually is

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

#lay rambles #my ocs #oc: liam hawke #oc: lilian hawke #both my hawkes are very social w their friends but i love comparing their boundaries around it #theres variation in rules for specific ppl with both of them ofc but theres still general differences #with liam its all very open and everyone can p much come and go whenever #they dont get extra keys (theyll get lost and he doesnt want randos finding them lol) but they know where to find the spare key #and bodhan and sandal and orana know to let them in whenever #hes very lenient in this this regard but he does have rules abt what he does and doesnt want them to do #mostly its about not making too much of a mess lol bc liam prefers to clean himself #(he doesnt trust the crew with his household and also he has particular ways of doing things and Hates when theyre done differently) #so things like keep your dirty garb at the entrance dont cook by yourselves (this was banned after they did it one (1) time lol) etc #also no fucking allowed. do that somewhere else for the love of the maker he does NOT want to walk into that in his own house #(and it also comes back to liam not trusting them with cleaning but also Not wanting to clean that up lol) #also he is not fond of them going into his room uninvited. most of the house is chill but that is *his* space #he accommodates these rules by e.g. having spare slippers and a little washing basin in the entrance hall for dirty shoes/feet #always makes sure to have snacks in stock that he knows they like #food will have notes abt what to leave for leandra/orana/etc but otherwise food is prepared with his friends in mind #and in general he'll make sure to adjust the space/routine in little ways to accommodate them #(air out when fen isnt there cus he doesnt like drafts; keep curtains open cus anders prefers open spaces; etc) #lilian on the other hand doesnt like when her friends come into the estate without a heads up (cept for emergencies) #but once they have her 'ok' its basically mi casa es su casa #dont yknow. overdo it and get too rowdy but otherwise do whatever #however. she also expects everyone to clean up after themselves. she aint here to play maid and youre all adults #also liam has a general 'please try to not be too wild when leandra is here' and lilian doesnt #not cos she doesnt care but cos leandra is bothered by sth she can speak up herself #oh and lilian uses the basement space as temporary refuge for anyone who needs it (mostly escaped mages) #also side note: both offered gamlen to stay but he refused (out of pride/remorse) #...this got long and i ran out of tag space lmfao so this is it for now xD

oh lol i forgot to post this robit sketches! because i have one (1) bit and im sure as hell gonna commit to it apparently

#rolling with difficulty #art I made #'shut your up' is a verbatim quote from an ex classmate i just thought it was funny #i dont think it was intentional i think he was just so angry that Words Failed on him #anyway im absolutely not keeping that maxim design. god i fucking hate clothing design *so* much #austin: 'hes a gold plated mechanite dressed in blue and grey robes' me trying to figure out colour placement: 'what FUCK' #i had one (1) good idea and that was 'skeleton shaped robit' and every other part of that design went to hell apparently #bc all the other mechanites we've had were either like... flesh..? shaped?? like that sorta silhouette (basically most of the old crew) #or more mechanical/geometric (vr-la's designs and like.. k-lb? i guess? if that counts) #so. therefore. bone shaped mechanite. also if i was gonna try that concept on anyone it may as well be maxim if you think about it #idk i thought it would be interesting. and also undertale was my first fandom so uh #ANYWAY. MOVING ON FROM THAT THOUGHT. #this started as a 2am intrusive thought of like #'we (artists in the discord) keep joking abt how k-lb would be a nightmare to draw but like.. how hard is it really' #anyway as you can probably expect. famous last words #i mean genuinely mad respect to noir but i think i said to one of my friends when i showed them this sketch #'i mean this in the nicest way possible but you can just tell he was designed for an audio only storytelling format' LMAO #if anyone is unwise enough to attempt this (so basically @ my future self lmao) #do the lineart and colouring for the wires in front of the inner electricity skeleton (???) and the ones behind it on SEPARATE LAYERS #drew the wires all together then the electricity and had to painstakingly go over the electricity with an eraser it was a fucking nightmare

so when IS your birthday? :0

I know right??? math is such a fun subject!!!

Open the tags if you dare

#i promise im not avoiding the question this is just funny #asks #honestly tho i do like math #english is one of my worst subjects because numbers make more sense to me #it funny that people look at me as an artist and are like “so you're majoring in art right?'” #nope lol im going into accounting #im decent at resource management and organization #i even got an award for most organized in my stage craft class #incase you dontnknow what stage craft is its basically the construction crew for the drama kids to do their thing #props costumes backgrounds lighting sound #all of that is stage craft stuff #do some math silly ✨ #and basically i got that award by organizing the entirety of the stagecraft room #everything was stored in there and it was a mess #ended up spending a few weeks just organizing the nails screws and bolts #was supposed to only take a few days but no one was helping #also had to organize them by length too #but in the end it was a lit of fun and not i have a cool poster up on my wall with my chosen name #so not all a loss #yes i am rambling on purpose #and i shall keep doing it now #but honestly its so nice that people are being more considerate of my pronouns and chosen name #i actually feel like im being respected as a person and not just a student #its like they didn't trust me to know myself before which is annoying #but hey i guess it could be worse #im living with my aunt now so thays a huge improvement #my parents may have tried but uhhh #they didn't always do the right thing #ok i think thats enough rambling for people to have stopped read at this point #i got to get ready for school now

im thinking about possession aftereffects that linebeck experiences immediately after the events of phantom hourglass, so here are bullet points i have down for my own ideas

he’s out cold for roughly five days after the fight. he’s conscious for a bit after being freed, but it doesn’t take long for him to collapse once he’s transported back to the great sea. link finds him when he reaches his ship to see him again (he takes a lifeboat or w/e from tetras ship its a whole thing and not the point) and ends up having to take care of him for those five-ish days.

while he’s out cold, he develops a bad fever, and has a good few physical injures from being possessed; all of his wounds from being possessed manifest as burns, the worst wounds bring cauterized and mostly closed, while smaller ones are still open wounds. the largest wound is a large burn covering most of his back, which is cauterized by the time he passes out, and then there are smaller, still open burns on his upper arms and legs. (the smaller wounds are manageable by link when he follows some medical instructions, [there are some medical books on the ship] the larger one is also manageable, but takes a lot longer to properly heal).

(link asks tetra and her crew to stick around for a while to keep linebeck stabilized while he’s unconscious. when linebeck wakes up, tetra and her crew are good to leave because then linebeck can better report what’s going on, and knows how to handle injuries).

linebeck’s fever persists after he wakes up, and he experiences… pretty much every fever symptom, with especially bad chills and full-body aches. the aches are really bad for the first few days after he wakes up, he’s extremely physically weak and shaky for a while, too. that weakness and shakiness get better with time, but he doesnt go entirely back to normal without actually moving around and doing things to build that strength back up.

he’s delirious and struggles to stay awake for those first few conscious days, too, which makes that weakness and shakiness worse; he struggles to eat and drink water, and struggles to string together thoughts or words to talk to link, and both of them figure out pretty quickly that they’ll have to wait a bit longer before so much as an attempt to coax him out of bed can be made.

beyond existing problems with food, linebeck struggles to keep anything down while he recovers, and becomes ill pretty much every time after he eats anything, so a bucket is kept near his bed. with water, he obviously needs to drink a lot of it considering that he’s feverish, injured, and vomiting frequently, but while he’s sick he has a bit of an irrational fear of water (along with an irrational fear of air and the wind, which makes him hesitant to go outside while he’s sick).

he’s generally pretty irritable, which isn’t particularly new, but it makes him prone to refusing help with certain things. he’s less irritable when tired and just resting. he’s also especially nervous, and despite the overall fatigue, he struggles to sleep for very long while he’s sick, and as said before, is often delirious and even confused when things are bad.

along with the other difficulties eating, linebeck has a hard time swallowing for a bit, and salivates a lot more than normal while he’s sick. he is soooo fucking dehydrated the whole time and that really doesn’t help.

while the weakness and shakiness stays for the entire time he’s sick and even a bit afterwards, for the first few days after he wakes up he’s stiff and also experiences some muscle spasms and numbness in his limbs, and has a hard time keeping his balance the first few times he gets out of bed.

once the sickness clears up fully, linebeck has to still be careful with the scar on his back; it’s sensitive to touch for a while and hurts when exposed to the sun or air for too long and when he stretches his back too far, but eventually just reaches the point where it’s a bit sensitive but is otherwise just a large scar.

obviously he’s also going through the wringer in an emotional and mental illness sense too but those would require a whole new bullet point list.

#ask to tag #loz #legend of zelda #linebeck #phantom hourglass #this kinda just turned into early post ph chapter notes and you know what? i really needed it to be that way actually #post bellumbeck wounds manifest as burns bc i think that purple… ooze? from bellum is like fucking acid #also magic shit yadda yadda bellum burns those he possesses cuz like. melt skin so it fuses to whats touching it. yknow #salty talks #why does tetra’s crew leave when linebeck wakes up? linebeck wants them to leave and he wants to keep secret the fact that he got possessed #hes lucky that link doesnt say anything and lucky that tetra never saw any of it #he uses the story that he just got attacked by bellum and knocked out while link fought bellum #i might just leave his long term bellumbeck aftereffects at. huge burn scar on his back and some fun magic stuff #cuz he does go through all of this shit and survives what is basically literally fucking rabies its a lot of rabies symptoms #its like. mixture of real sickness/disease and Burn Wounds with a dash of. hmm what would he be experiencing as like #his body gets use to actually being in control of itself after that control is forcibly and violently hijacked by something else #also theres just some nasty shit in his blood/body in general which is why he vomits most of the time. get that shit outta here #also this whole scenario is ig a fun reversal since all of ph link is the one who gets injured/sick snd linebeck has to take care of him #so. switch things around. link is Going Through It as well this is DISTRESSING for him but he feels better while talking with linebeck #link being present seriously tipped things in linebecks favor. if he was alone he wouldve still survived. it wouldve fucking sucked tho #wouldve been really really hard but with enough effort and will to live linebeck could survive on his own thats important #seriously considering adding that at his worst he has seizures but i dont know enough abt those rn so maybe layer

I just. How are the studios not fucking embarrassed yet? How are they not just wallowing in awareness that they are the baddies? I understand wealth separates a man from his common sense and, uh, soul, but. How are you looking at a bunch of artists who are asking for basically the bare minimum, going “yeah, no, I need my yachts”, and you’re NOT aware how pathetic you look? The biggest loser energy in the world.

#wga strong #sag strong #the rich embarrassing themselves isn’t the least bit new but my god am I bored of them #we need art. we need stories. it’s the most human thing we can do. #and people who make art deserve to like. eat. and pay for their homes. and have lives. #this shit isn’t actually controversial no matter how much studios want to convince you otherwise #fuckin quit throwing a bitch baby fit over your mega millions or billions or whatever insanity and pay your fucking writers and actors #and cgi artists and crews and PAs and fuckin ALL of the people who actually contribute to civilization via the humanities #sorry not sorry I am. Tired of the bullshit. #the longer it goes on the more pitiful the studios are gonna look so just. lick your wounds now and let folks get back to making cool shit #(while also being able to. eat. and live their lives. and not lose their rights and livelihood to AI horseshit. y’know. the basics.)

((I think I finally found the words of why I didn't like the second story that much for Star Rail

It has the same, exact problems as Honkai 3rd's ending

#OOC #They just #feed you all the lore and all the worldbuilding stuff #While forgetting that lots of lore is not equal to good storytelling #And what results is that you get walls and walls of text about the Xianzhou #But you do not get much things to do with the present-day characters #while getting to know the current characters like there's so many characters who barely got to do anything #It's quite similar to how you can write walls and walls of text about your world and the lore behind it #But in reality most people just wants to know about their role in the story and how they can help #You can have all the lore in the world but it doesn't matter if people aren't invested in it #Especially dan shu #they did Dan Shu so dirty #and then in Honkai 3rd it has a similar problem of #The final ending is really good but the stuff before that is just walls and walls of text #So much worldbuilding and background lore ideas in their head but the way they presented it is absolutely terrible #In contrast to Belabog which is a super basic plot but have extremely great characters #I do not doubt that there's really good stuff in the character stories #But why can't those moments be integrated in the main story too you know? #Everyone else in the Express crew sat at the back and barely got the time to do anything especially Welt #Still enjoyed it though my favourite part is the puzzles #Anyways I'm going to bed night night jlaSHJLASd

sry im like willing myself to get up and brush my teeth and all that but im literally like Maybe i should finally actually listen to tbi. as in the bifrost incident not traumatic brain injury which it would be insane if there was a mechs album named traumatic brain injury.

#i legit never listened to it idk why i think i got scared n then yk and blah blah blah and yada yada and my granny died and yeah.so yeah #basically i need 2 listen and also i sort of just need to listen to every mechs album bc idk that ive fully listened to either of the ttbt. #<- i know a few of the stand outs but i havent fully listened basically.... and i miss the mechs so bad rn its crazy. i think they would #killing eachother over mild disagreements #i say that like its a hc im pretty sure thats canon i think its awesome. if iiii was an immortal space pirate whos only exists #to power the narrative and i was on a ship with like 7 other immortal space pirates who only exist to power the narrative. #well 1 me and those guys would be having the most insane sex possible crazy shit guns would ABSOLUTELY be involved we would #be fucking in the airlock opening the doors just for laffs itd be fucking wild shit. second of all yes wed kill eachother at least once a #day r u crazy andf itd be awesome. id make a to do list of every single death i could imagine and id do each at least 10 times and itd be #crazy !! wah wah immortality 1. seems fun 2. they die eventually 3. legit whenever they want they can just kill themselves and not exist fo #an hour tell me that isnt my dream world i dare you. #also ik ive exclusively talked abt the crew members which is kind of one of my pet peeves bc they legit arent the focus #but im nostalgic for them and rest assured the albums make me craaaaazyyy #mdni #minors dni #sorry i forgot what i said about the guns and whatnot #nsft #a2t #covering all the bases here

Okay, just want to reiterate something: alters do not need to speak out loud to communicate to one another

#moon knight #mine #communication is complicated #frankly as a system with very low barriers I’m probably not the one to ask #exceptions abound but for the most part I can basically ping my whole crew #gives me a headache if everyone’s offering an opinion all at once tho #anyway what’s the point #oh yeah I’m getting very tired of this #one fic is fine #occasional lapses are fine #I mean we have them when we’re alone #it’s a lot easier to follow convos when the medium is split up #but anyway #mk osddid info

If y'all think I'm throwing out aus left and right today, just you fucking wait until I finally draw for the one based off of mlp

#basically the tallest grow perpetually (which is my regular hc anyways) but the more they grow the more they crumble #this feature is not genetically modified out bc it makes it so successful invaders can't outgrow the tallest #or really just anybody in general #however Red and Purple seem to be crumbling without their bodies naturally stabilizing it #all the robotic enhancements seem to make things worse too #eventually Purple crumbles to near fucking death due to Red's own hand #Red goes fucking feral (out of a mix of protectiveness‚ fear‚ and love) #but medics won't really help him unless Red is actually breathing downtheir fucking necks #They're viewing Purple as unfit to rule and as a lost cause (+ in their mind they always had a spare in Red anyways) #and would rather him die. They see one tallest as better than one tallest and a defective taller #So the weaker Purple gets the more feral Red gets #After killing most every irken for their incompetence and definitely every crew member he finds #Red eventually takes off with Purple to find the one irken he's never seen with any holes or crumbles #not a single imperfection visible in any of the thousands of INFURIATING video message Zim has sent them since his unknowing exile #meanwhile Zim his struggling on Earth #he's starting to. actually befriend Did despite them still hating eachother‚ #the message ''no recopient found'' comes up when he tries to call the tallest‚ #and worst of all‚ he finds that he can't stay in one spot for too long or else his body starts to caccon itself #and the more he hangs out with Dib‚ the quicker his body's cacconing attempts seem to be #I like the mlp changelings so much y'all #my little invader au

I'm surprised the Step Up franchise doesn't have a proper fandom considering that the movies have the found family theme constantly, and gay people eat that shit up

#yeah i get that there isnt exactly a complex plot for these movies #but the found family stuff is literally at the core of it #it's probably most prominent in the 3rd one #but like everyone in the crews is willing to go and help out their friends whenever they need #like msa crew helping out the pirates #msa and pirates helping out the mob #everyone literally joining together in the end at all in #they're family and they would do anything for each other #and it's for basically no reward #they just do it out of love #also I'd say the theme of found family is pretty strong in revolution as well #between everyone in the mob #its different than in the pirates crew but its there #and they fight with whatever they have to keep it together #why could i write an essay about the found family themes of Step up? #step up #step up franchise #step up movies #step up films #step up fandom #movies
