god the ENERGY in this culinary crimes ep is so. courtney's willingness to go for a bit and arasha's intensity when committing to bits really. i mean it really. well. i mean. like the active instance of "and then if we kissed? haha. unless?" And just in general arasha watches courtney closely and courtney listens to arasha. and like courtney makes eye contact and arasha speaks very intently and courtney holds the eye contact and like. arasha stares RIGHT at courtney and courtney says things and. listen. im just saying. Im JUST SAYING.

#im halfway through the video and courtney has said she wanted to kiss arasha. called arasha hot. etc. #its just so funny to have this come out right after the wedding reveal bc. truly. the energy between arasha and courtney is. well. #smosh rpf #look. its not that i wasnt already big on courtrasha but god what a way to be reminded of it #courtrasha #eye contact alone is not sufficient for even joke shipping in my book. but wharever energy was going on there is #arashas dynamic with spencer is also really good im just blown away by whatEver was happening betw arasha and court

The attire dissection, folks. (Part 1)

A friend of mine (@spiderwarden) sent an ask a while back about how Yelan would go about putting herself together in terms of attire, and I remember going 'christ', because how do you begin dissecting most outfits that look almost too maddening to explain, in an anime-style game where outfits are often ridiculous and not meant to be explained 'realistically'. But then I realized that this is miHoYo, and this is their Genshin Impact, which means that the devil will always reside in the details. And personally, I like this little devil a lot. Now, I'd always noticed a few things, but they initially seem tied into a whole bunch of illogical 'outfitting', but her outfit is really actually not illogical at all. Let me see if I can explain this coherently.

(Zoomed in version here) The subject in question: the beautiful Yelan— okay, okay, I'll stop fawning, fine. Any way, I always looked at her outfit as a two-piece, a full length bodysuit of some kind (what are those called again?), with an overcoat which holds all of those blue accents in her attire. And I was never sure whether her shoes were boots and if they were, where they ended because I saw no proper cuff/top. I was so torn, I even once thought they were somehow tied into the bodysuit, because I genuinely couldn't make out the top of them! Yes, welcome to the 'illogical anime outfit thinking', but let's be honest, it's done commonly enough in that area of media. But no, the basis of her outfit is actually not that complex at all, and is rather realistic. What is complex, is the intense amount of 'personalization' of each piece , the thought that went into them and what inspired them. But that will be for for part 2.

It is technically a three-piece, a bodysuit, an overcoat and thigh high boots. To elaborate: first up, at the very base of it is a halter bodysuit that has a very low-cut back and shorts, it looks very close to something like this in shape. On top of that, as you can see rather clearly in her outfit, it is entirely see-through/mesh and is customized with fish-netting, cut-outs and various other detailing on the front (some of which rather intricate I might add, as this bodysuit may have been chosen for practical reasons, but has in that light, been fully altered to her tastes). Yelan, as per a teapot voiceline ("I'm guessing you've fallen for the rumors about me being very wealthy and having high demands for my standards of living?"), isn't someone who spends mora on things easily, but when she does for practical purposes, it's when she may splurge a bit, but it's not without reason entirely. But I digress a bit, because that's a topic for another day. Secondly, is the overcoat, this is the piece that's most easily identified by all the blues and it covers a fair bit of the bodysuit, it is also secured around the neck in a halter-design, it covers the 'outline' of her upper-chest, leaving her back bare as well, and it hangs down towards the front, ending roughly where her bodysuit does as well. And then thirdly, there's the boots, which are thigh-high and end exactly where you see the diagonal lines towards the front of her upper legs (if you look at any of the sideviews, you'll note the difference in elevation between the shaft of her boot and her leg).

What draws me most though, is the bodysuit. It's incredibly aesthetically pleasing in terms of its design, with the decision of the mesh material, along with the very specific decisions on details (ie: the fishnetting on her right side, the cut-out on its left half, the straps across her hips hiding the more intimate item of dress underneath them, and especially the separate design on the front that you'd more so find on those high-waist old-school sailor shorts with the bigger buttons at the front). The fact that it's a halter design, truly offers a more secure hold than honestly anything else would, as shoulder straps tend to slip from your shoulders (and especially being slender as she is, it becomes increasingly impossible to find something that will never slip), and strapless is absolutely not doable with all of the movement that she does. In essence, a bodysuit of this sort of design would be skintight but stretchy enough to allow for proper movement as she's really rather agile, but considering how secure of a hold it offers, it also means that (apologies for the TMI), there may not be any need for a bra, as the bodysuit would offer it, in its stead. But this also plays into practicality: the less layers, the better. I also wonder about this latter detail, because there is no sign or trace of any bra straps anywhere at all, and a halter-design bra also would be apparent somewhere. Nope, I think that darker part that you see covering her breasts is actually part of the bodysuit, and very intricately designed. I think this damn piece of clothing might be one of the most intricate parts of her outfit. I actually did find a modder that removed the 'drape' part of the overcoat that covers her abdomen, but left the upper portion of it (but you can tell from the images at the top of the post that these two 'parts' are a one piece that overlaps, due to the difference in elevation)— any way, this mod actually shows half of the frontal design of the bodysuit. Again, be aware that the part covering her chest area (the blue on one side, white on the other) is not part of the bodysuit, and instead is part of her overcoat. If she took it off, those would be gone. Now imagine the boots to be gone (which again, go up to the diagonal stripe designs at the front), and you're left with the bodysuit!

Honestly, all of this draws a magnificent image for me in my head. The sight of when she retires either in her home outside of the city, in Yanshang, or the home I headcanon that she's properly bought in Qiaoying Village (properly purchased, mind you, to help the villagers) at some point, for the night. When she takes off her boots, it would be quite casual and relaxed to see her in the bodysuit and the overcoat that covers it. And if in privacy, or around those she's more at ease around (granted, there would be nothing 'sexual' about it, she's very practical and very realistic, and there's nothing intentionally 'sexy' about it unless she intends for it to be), she'd even forego the overcoat. Yelan, walking around preparing her tea, barefoot and with her legs almost entirely bare? The epiphany of peaceful, in my head.

And a little bit of an extraordinary and beautiful sight, but that's just me... sorry, I couldn't restrain myself any longer. Hi hello, my name is Sae, and thank you for having read part 1 of my lunacy in terms of her outfit. Part 2 will focus on the actual design of the overcoat and bodysuit, and what was likely used as inspiration for her. I'm unsure whether I'll add in her hair, and accessories into that post, it'll all depend on how long it gets. But there's the intention any way.

next full color !

after i finish the trick or treatment douman (nearing completion) i need your help deciding the next full color w/ background piece :D

i’ll tally the results w/ the twitter votes & go from there ❤️

#will delete later #i wish i could devote myself to all 3 simultaneously but i work full time and my free time in general is limited now more than ever #:((((( #and i feel very drained…like a lot…from work and stuff.. so i gotta push myself to actually draw on my free time and even THEN that’s if i #can afford to segment a chunk of that to getting into Da Zone aka #god tier hyper focus limbo chamber ❤️ #which is a fun place to be at but it requires i have music be alone and have sufficient energy

“Atri,” Sikhall, Vänersborg, Sweden,

This triangular model is a light-filled house with a wood-burning stove and solar panels attached to its slanted roof. Intended for energy production in both winter and summer, the two sources are robust enough to heat the water and provide electricity. For added assurance, the home contains another power source in case of extreme weather.

An on-site well also pumps drinking water, with any waste directed to the flower beds for filtering. These raised gardens line the perimeter of the first floor and are large enough to grow fruits and vegetables.

I'm curious, are you just watching the anime, or have you been reading Jujutsu Kaisen too?

I'm just watching the anime for now! I enjoyed season 1 a lot, but not to the obsessive degree that is required to draw me into reading a manga these days ^^; But season 2 so far has been much more my speed, so I very well may pick up reading it once this season wraps up, depending on how things in the story develop.

Are you currently reading and/or watching it?

#my m.o. has always been check out the anime to see if it's something that interests me bc that is much lower investment #for me re: time and energy than checking out a manga #and then if i'm sufficiently interested i'll dive into the manga #i used to be a lot easier in terms of picking up new series to read; even just a smidge of interest was enough but alas #my energy levels and attention span are not what they used to be :/ #i'm a lot more selective with manga nowadays #like. i've really enjoyed kim//etsu no yai//ba too so far but likewise feel no inclination to read it either #a big part of it too is that i only have so much free time and a good chunk is taken up by drawing/writing/cosplay projects

Valdemaran mind magic makes directed energy weapons viable send tweet

#heralds of valdemar #I am pondering the implications of fetching in a modern-with-magic AU and it’s staggering #I mean. There are some wavelengths of light that air reflects and absorbs. #so if you were to say put on some sufficiently sensitive IR goggles #you can literally see light. and line of sight is the only requirement for fetching #and air is extremely lightweight #sooooo all I’m saying is that you cause some NASTY implosions with fetching and a set of IR goggles #also solves thermal blooming wrt directed energy weapons. the possibilities are endless #I LOVE VALDEMAR’S MAGIC IT’S SO FUN #*you can literally see air lmao #not light. #or well. you can see some of the gasses that make up the majority of air #gay herald in a squirrel suit

well. scar and mei lost the dadpoll but they would have lost to joel or whoever in the next one anyway. so im not mad. Or anything

#someone in the tags saying 'they didnt have any dad energy' YOU DONT GET IT!!!!!! #he doesnt have to take her to school and tie her shoes or whatever to be her dad #hes like her stepdad after she already grew up too fast and learned to be self sufficient #so hes just kind of there to drive her places and give questionable life advice but she loves him anyway because hes better than the 1st one #fullmetal alchemist (fullmetal alchemist)

the idea that climate change is 100% or mostly caused by fossil fuels and plastic completely misses the point & instills the false belief that infrastructure based on solar or whatever energy will solve everything.

#anti civ #green energy #solarpunk #remember that we only turned to fossil bc coal was becoming scarce #and coal was used to replace whale oil & other stuff that was becoming scarce #and that ancient rome -that BARELY used any fuel compared to contemporary western societies- #completely changed the landscape in europe due to mass deforestation for fuel #and that the main drivers of conquest are gaining a monopoly on resources and labor #the solution will never be 'use more of x finite resource' is completely restructuring our societies into self-sufficient communities #and using finite resources carefully. for shit we actually NEED to use them for (aka. not using electricity to heat houses #when we can just insulate houses better & use a rocket heater and dung cakes for fuel) #tit talks

According to Space Energy Initiative (SEI) co-chairman Martin Soltau, harvesting solar energy from space could be implemented as early as 2035, reported BBC News.

[...]

“In theory it could supply all of the world’s energy in 2050,” Soltau said, according to BBC News. “A narrow strip around geostationary Earth orbit receives more than 100 times the amount of energy per year than all of humanity is forecast to use in 2050.”

[...]

The satellites would be able to provide about two gigawatts of power each, around the same amount as a nuclear power station.

[...]

A potential issue with SBSP is the cost and carbon dioxide produced by launching many of the solar panels into space, possibly hundreds of times, said thermodynamics lecturer at the University of Portsmouth Dr. Jovana Radulovic, who specializes in renewable energy systems.

However, a University of Strathclyde environmental analysis of Cassiopeia found that its carbon footprint, including launch, could be as low as 50 percent of land-based solar.

To all my mutuals and followers whose families don't appreciate you, or attack you, or worse...

Know that you are gorgeous, and wonderful, and talented, and anyone who doesn't understand that does not deserve the time of day from you.

The Mr. Rodgers quote holds true:

Be safe, and know that wherever we are, you are loved.

#I realized I'm in the minority of not having a...let's be delicate and say probelmatic family #so I feel some type of responsibility to spread love where I can to give the privilege I have back to the world #I'm not even thirty but I want the energy of those moms and dads who go to pride events to give free parental hugs #i hope that didn't get unbearably sappy #but I've seen a lot of pain on my dashboard and I didn't think addressing it one at a time was sufficient #sending hugs to you all
