#bygone ancients

[antirepurp]

revisited the old "they descended from ancients + shadow was made by them" concept and put more thought into the markings this time, that and i took cues from their concept arts as a treat for myself. no chaos forms this time bc if this has to sit on my hard drive any longer im going to start running up the walls hee hoo

(old art + original concept for the curious i suppose)

#sonic boom #sonic the hedgehog #tails the fox #amy rose #knuckles the echidna #sticks the badger #shadow the hedgehog #purp art #this took me way too long and i struggled with the poses way too much and it did not cure my art slump. oh well #at least i got to compare this to my old art and feel like i've improved #anyway i need a new tag for this shit so i can like. revamp it from the ground up #bygone ancients #<- that works actually i'll add it to my nav page at some point #sonic #sth

something about jack harkness's growth, from being absolutely prepared to die to becoming unexpectedly immortal, to outliving everyone he knew, to playing with life and death like little dolls, to finally coming to respect death when it took the man he loved

just jack, understanding so completely that his immortality might keep him alive indefinitely, but also that it is a curse that he wouldn't wish upon anyone no matter how lonely he gets, only wanting more time to say goodbye to ianto and still not getting enough at the house of the dead. jack coming to accept ianto's death and letting himself grieve and move on, and fighting on behalf of ianto's right to stay dead and not be dragged back when torchwood really wanted to

#i just- #they are so ''if your wings won't find you heaven / i will bring it down like an ancient bygone'' #in the sense of ''you absolutely deserve to rest; i might not be able to die but i will do whatever i can to stop them dragging you back'' #torchwood #ianto jones #jack harkness #the lyric in the second tag is #song: sleep token - euclid #doctor who #torchwood's commentary on life and death has me biting wires

[houseofache]

euclid by sleep token is an ouroboros; a simultaneous end to all beginnings and an offer of beginnings to all that has ended. it is an outstretched hand promising you the change you’ve been craving, and the fearful voice in your head that dreads it. it is salvation and damnation. a bittersweet kiss from a loved one that you know you are seeing for the last time. it is a familiar chuckle cloaked in a stranger’s voice, beckoning you to know them. euclid is a promise of parallels. of certainty in the midst of uncertainty, of looking in the mirror and knowing that you have changed completely and still knowing that it’s you. after everything, it is still you. it is an oath shakily uttered in limbo, swearing “yes, i will try again.”

#i fucking love euclid #if you can’t tell #i mean COME ON #‘if my fate is a bad collision… give me one last ride on a sunset skylane’ #‘yet in reverse you are all my symmetry a parallel i would lay my life on’ #and my favourite #‘if your wings won’t find you heaven i will bring it down like an ancient bygone’ #how do you not fall in love with that calibre of writing #euclid #sleep token #lord help us lana’s talking about euclid again #euclid by sleep token #sleep token euclid #st #sleep token analysis #analysis #writing #this is less essay and more creative reflection #sleep token writing #sleep token band #vessel #ii #iii #iv #sleep token interpretation #sleep token worship #worship #favourites

the bitch i become when i hear dance wiv me is like my version of jekyll and hyde

#this song is like an ancient relic from bygone days #put it in the MoMA #put this Liv in a room with the Liv i become when i hear 'i wanna see some ass' by jack harlowe and + #the Liv i become when i hear 'mic drop' by BTS #those three bitches are either walking away with solutions to the world's greatest problems (or they BECOME the greatest problem)

3:35 to 4:10 in Levitate is so unbelievably comforting to me. In the best (and worst) way possible, it truly does feel like levitation.

The best way I can describe it is laying in someone's arms, lover, friend, foe or family, and simply basking in the comfort they give you. One arm wrapped, gently, around your middle, fingers tracing invisible patterns on your clothes, and the other hand softly combing through your hair as they whisper soft nothings in your ear. You're on the brink of sleep; half listening to their words and half being drawn in by the comfort of the drowsy void.

It's a warm hug that you never want to leave. (catch me replaying that part over and over)

#and then the breakdown #(since you all seem to like it so much when I get depressive with these I'll pull out my thoughts) #my mind always conjurs two things with the breakdown; death and mourning #when you think of levitation you either think of magic or death; the soul rising up to Heaven #the choir that joins Vessel singing are angels as he tries to comfort the person dying in his arms. #the breakdown is when he finally realises that's it; they're gone #he brought down Heaven like an ancient bygone for them knowing their own wings wouldn't find it #but by God he'll scream and cry and year himself inside out over it even if he told himself that he would accept it #('death' can either be interpreted as actual death or the act of leaving someone for good -> #those last few seconds of calm is having one last moment with them before they rise to where he can't reach them) #if you can't tell I'm in my sad yearning hours because I didn't sleep last night and I'm stressed about trying to get tickets but we ball 💪 #sleep token #st #sleep token analysis #levitate (song) #levitate #sundowning #mel's rambles

sticks outperforming shadow. sticks having sheer combat experience and versatility in her fighting style where she can adapt to the current situation with remarkable ease, and is able to keep switching things up to keep her enemies guessing. shadow having pure power but uses it very primitively because that has always been enough and he hasn't had the need to learn more intricate ways of fighting. his belief in him being an "ultimate lifeform", a title he himself picked up after discovering how powerful he was, being challenged when a fucking badger makes him eat shit because she knows How to fight and and Where to hit so it really hurts and is able to pick up his traits faster than he can pinpoint anything about hers. shadow becoming obsessed with defeating her just to prove he's better and more than Some Fucking Badger With a Boomerang. enemies to rivals. they want to kill each other so bad

#sonic boom #bygone ancients #i Will die on this hill btw #the cartoon is not canon to me and the season2 finale isn't real. sticks would've beaten him to shit actually

Found in the wild today

The Blockbuster closed years ago, but the stripmall never paid to take the sign down, they just hung a banner over it. They're finally removing it, and I'm thinking of calling the property manager to see if I can take it off their hands. It has a big hole in it and I doubt the remnants of Blockbuster corporate wants it back considering its been derelict for over a decade, so the stripmall is probably just gonna throw it away. I figure it's worth a shot. I'd even be willing to pay for it (up to a point)

Wish me luck!

I was playing GW2 with my mother and completing a daily in Ascalon:

I mean ... he's not wrong.

definitely feeling like we're fighting on the side of righteousness here

#anghraine babbles #anghraine's pics #ascalonian grudgeblog #anghraine's gaming #part of my undying frustration i think is ... like. okay. i do wish charr characters had to wrangle more with this legacy #but at least it's consistent with the whole 'commit as many atrocities as you like as long as you win' ethos #but like ... imagine you're a standard sylvari who only knows the whole thing as ancient history and thinks bygones should be bygones #and then you're like 'oh sure i'll help out charr friends' and then you're confronted with these endlessly traumatized people #human pcs meanwhile... :(

i think take me back to eden (2023) made me even more mentally ill than i already was
