The Sunflower and His Sun

Painted for a lovely moot on Xitter

#yizhan #boxiao #fanart #wang yibo #Xiao Zhan #my art #digital artwork #there’s something so tragic and beautiful about the naked look of pained adoration on his face #like he promised himself that he’d never turn away from any truth written on his person #even if it hurt him to look #but then this expression #as if he would be unable to look away #even if he wanted to #like a sunflower turning toward the sun #they don’t have a choice #just automatically turning toward that thing that gives them life #and loving it completely #ughhhh #i love them your honor

I JUST FOUND OUT HOW TO MAKE LINEART ANY FUCKING COLOUR WITHOUT DOING IT YOURSELF ON MS PAINT

#sunflower rambles #i can even make it rainbow if i get a rainbow image #holy fucking shit #ok so in short if your lineart is for example black you put black as your second slot colour in a second canvas #you copy your black lineart art from your first canvas #you put literally any background on the second canvas as long as the second slot colour is your lineart's colour #turn transparency on #and paste it #and your lineart will now be the colours of whatever image was in the background #this is revolutional

Hey fellow milkweed nerds of Tumblr I have a question.

So. Swamp milkweed. It's pink! That's pretty cool. I wanna know how pink.

Because whenever I google Swamp Milkweed, whether its to look for seeds or plants for sale or just to show other people, the flowers look like this.

[ID: Three pictures of swamp milkweed, all a very very bright vivid hot pink with white middles.]

Thats Fucking Hot Pink. This bright ass pink is what drew me to the plant in the first place. If I were to find my Dream Swamp Milkweed, it would be this pink.

However, a lot of the times, I end up finding swamp milkweed that looks more like this.

[ID: Two pictures of swamp milkweed, both from the same plant. The flowers are a light, nearly white, light pink.]

Its a much lighter, more of a strawberry-milk pink. These are pictures I took from my own swamp milkweed plant, but from the pictures I've seen in my gardening server, a lot of them have plants in a color similar to this.

So what I'm curious about is. If you grow swamp milkweed, or have seen it growing in the wild, have you ever seen it as pink in the first example? Or is it just Photoshop magic? And if you do have it that pink... do you have any seeds you'd be willing to share?

#milkweed #swamp milkweed #pollinator gardening #pollinator garden #asclepias #asclepias incarnata #like im genuinely curious #as the self proclaimed milkweed queen of Tumblr I Want To Know #and also as the self proclaimed milkweed queen of Tumblr if you have a vivid pink milkweed plz send me pics and also seeds #i can send mexican sunflower seeds in return if you want even #i genuinely wanna know because I swear when I see images of vivid pink milkweeds its either a site trying to sell milkweed #or a site trying to promote native milkweeds #NOW. I bought some bare root plants from Home Depot #they haven't flowered yet but if they come back next year and they're vivid ass hot pink then I'll have fulfilled this Research Question #but until they flower next year (if they even come back I kinda neglected them on accident) I am DYING to know #i have seen NO ONE thats like a real person with bright ass pink milkweed #is it a thing they do when the plants are older? is it a specific strain everyone's going crazy over? or is it photoshop #vote now on your phones #ani rambles #out of queue

i truly believe that the zombies in plants vs zombies are not, by the traditional definition, zombies. i don't believe that there is any official lore so this is my speculation based on the (first) game.

zombies in popular culture are humans who have died and their corpses are reanimated through some means, and they attack/eat humans, who then become zombies in turn. why might one assume the pvz enemies match this definition?

one, they are called zombies. two, they enjoy eating brains. three, lyrics in the ending song support this: "we are the undead" and "i used to play football". these lines imply that the zombies used to be living, then died, and now are undead. however, i don't believe this. i think that they refer to themselves as undead because they understand their similarities to traditional zombies. and i think the football zombie assumes he used to play football, based on his outfit, but doesn't actually remember it (seeing as his description in the suburban almanac says "he has no idea what a football is").

i believe that they are not truly undead because - the crux of my argument - all of the zombies are created from scratch by dr zomboss. as in, i don't think he's reanimating humans. i think he's creating these grunts to do his bidding because he personally benefits from what they do. this can be supported by crazy dave in level 5 of the pool levels: "funny thing about the zombie process, sometimes it makes them come out real little. and real mean!" and then the level is filled with extremely tiny but fast zombies. i refuse to believe that this could have resulted from the reanimating of humans. dr zomboss has some kind of machine somewhere that zombies just emerge from wholecloth, and if he fucks it up then they come out tiny. see also: the gargantuar zombie, which absolutely could not have been the corpse of a human. i know crazy dave is cartoonishly stylized and human, but there's just no way. plus the fact that each zombie of each type wears identical clothing, acting identical, and they just keep coming without fail. i mean, i know the main character lives across the street from a graveyard, but there cannot possibly be that many graves.

actually i just read backup dancer zombie's description which says that he graduated from a performing arts center in "zombie new york city" so actually i think zombies just live in this world alongside humans, terrorizing humans, and dr edgar zomboss just built the robot and is a sort of cult leader. ignore everything i said above because i have no fucking idea what the lore is

#i mean their thing definitively is 'we want to eat your brains' and not 'we want to turn you into a zombie' #so even still. who KNOWS where they come from #EDIT GOD I WROTE THIS POST TOO HASTILY. THE PLANT ALMANAC ONLY RAISES MORE QUESTIONS #puffshroom 'didn't know that zombies existed until now' and assumed they were just movie monsters #<- supports theory of them being called zombies even if they technically aren't #grave buster works at a 'zombie rehabilitation center'?!?!?! what happens to them?????? #hypno shroom says 'we should do more to bring them around to our way of thinking' so like. you can't un-undead them #i mean apparently twin sunflower was created in a 'crazed night of forbidden science' and that sounds pretty zombosscore to me #god. who fucking knows man

[alexandersimpleton]

I wonder how sotpf Whitney would react to Frederick's bullies. I feel like Whitney and Frederick would meet them on the street one day, and Frederick would have a flashback, and then those bullies would go home with some trauma.

#cursed princess club #cpc frederick #prince frederick #cpc whitney #prince whitney #@yamiobean if this doesn't happen in your fic #at least let them have sunflower comfort times #seriously #my brain tends to find patterns where they don't exist #but that is NOT what is happening here #he literally had a flashback by just looking at a field if sunflowers #I headcannon the trauma response would be worse from hearing the word #y'know #because called him sunflower #and they probably didn't use actually sunflowers nearly as much #that one's just headcannon #but @yamiobean #at least let Whitney know about the sunflower flashbacks #i beg you

Saw this prompt for incorrect OC quotes and couldn't resist with a bunch of my Breach goobers. Some of them would absolutely say these things word for word in canon if I gave them half the chance to, though. XD

They're in order of when they showed up in person - Qīng, Ghost, Red, Marisol, Shio, Cam, Daruk, Tawoos, and Alondra - as well as some important honorable mentions who have only been mentioned or gotten dialogue - Star, Blake, and Creation.

Star's design is a slight spoiler, I suppose, but it doesn't reveal if they're human or impostor, so it's all good. Creation's "design" also isn't a spoiler at all, because They can look however They want, LOL. As for Shio...some of you who have seen the body horror I've done of them may be wondering why they look so normal here, but I promise there are Reasons. :3c

In other news, will I be making a liar out of Shio in an upcoming Breach canon divergence? ..........Maybe~ >:3c

#original characters #breach #among us #(technically lol) #look i even revealed what their colors would be - as if it wasn't already patently obvious #aside from creation but - uh - ignore them (trust me it's better this way) #meanwhile qīng's color isn't even available which is a Damn Shame #there needs to be a sky blue already ffs #cyan ain't cutting it #if it were an actual lobby qīng would waffle so hard between blue and cyan and would miss his chance to pick either XD #the closest quote to canon is cam's because she REALLY wants a different job and she'll take yours in a fucking HEARTBEAT #meanwhile the closest quote to BECOMING canon is creation's and it is taking all of my willpower to resist their insistence that i allow it #the most incorrect quote of all is definitely blake's - he is so mad at me for drawing this and calling out how he feels about his old job #the biggest lie here is red's - he absolutely thinks about breaking rules and does it a lot more than he'd like to admit #someone give poor tawoos a fucking break - they didn't ask for this #i promise that marisol is more than The Bitchy Sunflower Girl - just give her some time - i promise #alondra has other aspects too but she would be weirdly offended if you tried to assure her that she's more than just Squeaky Mouse Girl #if daruk ever had to go to anger management he would accidentally incite a rage riot just like dan did in that episode of dan vs #ghost i'm sorry but your fashion sense is incomprehensible and i don't even know how i come up with half the stuff i put you in #did blake steal the jacket off of crinklytinfoil's pink/chase from the skeld? absolutely not - he borrowed it cuz those two would be BUDS #these tags are ridiculous #ok im done now

[notsofriendlyfriendlyreminder]

no because fuck you and fuck them, I will write little poems about how beautiful my friends are and you cannot stop me

#like a sunflower follows the sun #the same way I follow your beautiful butt #that is stolen from a song but whatever #poem #poems #little poem #little poems

just wanna say im obsessed with your mind and i read your posts about kiryu like the morning paper. thank you for your service

(Sweats) e-even the ones about him laying eggs ?

#Thanks for the ask ! #HIIIIII thank you for reading my posts im really a serial rambler so that is no easy feat. i just had a lowkey nightmare that was insect #based so its nice to think about different kinds of eggs once in a while. sorry for the eggs i just learned the word gravid and i cant stop #saying it !!! i literally opened tumblr to make another post about kiryu i was gonna say he was probably antisocial in his childhood which #is really a miracle any girls managed to notice him at all. and i believe that he was very dismissive of his clothing and appearance because #you know when youre young and trans and havent realised it but you just randomly hate everything about your appearance and dont even knowwhy #i think his hair was always too long and too shaggy and he would let nishiki comb it sometimes because he really could not stand his mane #and sometimes when it gets wayy too long and shitty the sunflower caretaker would drag him outside and just cut a chunk of it off with a #knife and kiryu would have shoulder length hair for a little while... anyway i need to give him a little girlfriend like how rikiya had one #when he was in school because all trans guys need a little girlfriend or an all girl group of friends to be his girlfriends when hes a kid #so he can carry their shopping bags and wait for them outside the changing room etc and kiryu cant resist a girl so he gets a letter from #nishiki and he tells him yeah this is probably a prank to have you wait there for hours or there might be guys waiting to ambush you and #beat the crap out of you. and kiryus like Nobody beats the crap out of me except our dad. and goes to meet this girl and he actually agrees #to go out with her and this is the thing that keeps him in school because otherwise he would literally not go. like hed walk with yumi and #nishiki and the rest of the kids at sunflower that he doesnt care about to remember the names of. and he would just wave them off at the #gate and wander the town in his school uniform and then after school he’ll meet nishiki and possibly yumi at the gate (yumi probably makes #other friends but its a Must to walk nishiki home because he’ll get lonely) and when kiryu starts going out with this girl hes obligated to #walk her home so he already broke rule one but nishikis like happy for him But he has to walk home with some other random guys now and #eventually theyll broach the topic of ‘his psycho sister’ and nishiki literally has to beat a few guys up to defend kiryus honour and when #he comes back with news of how unpopular kiryu is with the rest of the guys because he looks better with short hair than they do and has a #girlfriend whos super cute. kiryu is just like damn did you commit social suicide to protect my honour? youre my best friend. but whatever #kids get over it fast. but parents dont!! and kiryu walks his girlfriend right to her front door and soon enough her parents are going to #find out that the boyfriend she keeps gushing about is a girl and straight up take her out of school to make her stop being gay and kiryus #like but ... im a boy ... punches the ground and screams to the sky. anyway enough about dysphoria simulator im here to talk about this guy #when hes a bit older because im salivating and shaking over the thought of his bootyass rip kiryu you woulda loved thongs. i think hed hate #ripped jeans but only because he thinks theyre a waste of manufacturing. its literally better for the world that kiryu decided 2 transition #because can you imagine if she was a girl and needed to wear a bra? like she would literally have an itchy back all the time which would #give her a hair trigger temper which means kamurocho a&e room will be very healthily plush indeed. god my battery is dying i need to take a #shower noww anyway really thank you for the nice message you are so sweet ... hi ...

Does the program matter? Big artists I see all use csp and photoshop, or sai. Art programs are expensive, sales don't always come up :(

Sorry I took a bit to answer this it got lost in the Box

No not at all, absolutely not whatsoever, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a sack a shit Sure, some programs have features that a different one doesn't have. But that's how literally everything is, someone else is always gonna have something different. And sure everyone says just pirate it too. But why bother when completely free, perfectly good, easily accessible, open source programs are right there? Plus I have separate thoughts on the photoshop obsession

The only thing you miss out on using a free program is the little bragging rights "I'm a better artist cause I use gimp" tag. The program doesn't make the art, you do! Use whichever program you like the best! Try different methods, use different tablets, go mobile vs laptop/desktop, draw traditional then scan it and do it again digitally, the art world is yours to do what you like with my friend

#sorry i hate art snobs LOL #the only thing they do is bring others down and make getting into art hard for new artists #you can use whatever program you want! but it truly doesnt matter which it is #what matters is whether you like it and whether it works good for your device and that's it #please for the love of whatever you believe stay away from deviant art as a budding artist #sunflower asks #art advice #lol #funny enough my first two programs were gimp and then sai #i had a digital arts class in 10th grade when i was in online school. we used gimp. then i moved to sai free trial #i hated it. then i got fire alpaca! and now my life and art is amazing!

"ay, can't ya look where ya goin'?" the brown-haired male playfully barked at niko whilst his hand were covering the eyes of chiyo, guiding her to a different location. "i stumbled, man." the grin of the taller male could be heard through his voice whilst they continued to walk through somewhat uneven territory. "yeah, yeah . . . work on ya lies, idiot." rayo would roll his eyes at the other, a smile persistent upon his lips as he made sure that the other was still comfortable. "ya okay, mami?" after receiving reassurance from the girl, the half-demon's features brightened visibly before they came to a halt. the wind was light & breezy, yet no sounds of the busy city travelled atop the currents. slowly would rayo remove his hands from the female's eyes, sprinting to stand next to niko, who had already positioned himself in front of a mural.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHIYO!" they both exclaimed in unison, presenting the colorful mural somewhat dramatically. whilst niko seemed a bit less pleased about having to play up such dramatics, he was still genuinely smiling at the birthday girl. once chiyo's eyes adjusted to the light, she was greeted with a large, abandoned building that had been left in tall grass. it was not far from gaia's garden & she could hear the distant calling of trains. however, what would really catch her eye was the painted mural: as if one had taken a photograph of the young woman & spread it across the largest wall. there she was; a painted chiyo standing amidst roses & sunflowers whilst looking at the viewer with a sentimental smile. she was wearing a summer dress & her eyes sparkled with the intensity of a thousand suns. a peace sign was held up whilst she urged the viewer to follow her into the flower field. the artwork must have taken days if not weeks judging by how large & intricate it was. in bubble font, above the gorgeous mural, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHIYO' was written out. if the woman was to look at the males again, she would notice them not having moved, at all; a nervous glint among their smiles. "how do you like it? we did it together . . . " niko's voice burst into the silence, adjusting himself whilst slowly walking towards her. "we thought ya might enjoy this spot since it's so peaceful . . . " & then it was rayo's moment to talk, one hand moving behind his head as he scratched his scalp sheepishly. — ( part 2/2 )

it's chiyo's birthday! | @metrictita painted her a gift!

she hasn't ever cared very much for taking pictures of herself. from an objective point of view, chiyo can admit that she has a nice enough face -- she's got an eye for pretty things, after all. yet she's never quite liked the way she looks in photos. maybe it's the perfectionist in her that can't stand how messy her hair can look, or how she seems to never angle her face just right; maybe it's the memories of middle school children and their words carving into her self esteem; or maybe it's the fact that for so long, she hasn't particularly liked the person in those photos. maybe it's a combination of all three. chiyo doesn't like to dwell too much on it, doesn't like to acknowledge such feelings because if she did, she would have to actually handle them. she's not good at that ( helping herself -- she's never known how to help herself ).

as she stares up at a mural that is undeniably beautiful not in spite of its subject but because of it, chiyo lets out a shaky breath. if the situation was different, if this wasn't a mural that niko and rayo spent so much time on, she would simply feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, unused to being at the center of someone's art. she would be able to turn away and miss the beauty her friends see when they look at her. she would miss the person they see, and the love they put into every stroke of color would be lost on her simply because she wouldn't be able to bear the sight of her own smile.

how long had they worked on this? how long had they taken to paint the curve of her smile, the way the sun danced in her eyes? chiyo can't wrap her mind around it, the idea of someone staring at her face for ages and not growing sick of it. yet that's exactly what niko and rayo did, and still, they gaze at her, waiting with nervous smiles for her reaction.

chiyo can't say for sure that she's as pretty as the mural in front of her, but it means infinitely more to her that this is how niko and rayo see her. that knowledge soothes something small and fearful inside her heart ( you have always seen yourself as the lonely moon, a placeholder for the sun; you couldn't see that to others, you are the sun ).

how does chiyo like it? well, she's trying not to cry, if that answers the question.

" this must've taken you forever, " the mangaka finally answers, trying and failing to hide the emotion seeping into her voice. with a huff that turns into a smile, chiyo allows the tears to fall -- even if she immediately wipes at them. there's no point in holding back, not around them. bit by bit, it's becoming easier to remember that.

chiyo shakes her head, walks forward to wrap her arms around niko and hide her face against his torso. blindly she reaches a hand out to beckon rayo over; only once all three of them are successfully squished in a group hug, does chiyo finally speak. her words are muffled, and it's a little hard to breathe, but it's worth it. the warmth inside her chest is back, just as overwhelming as before.

" i love it. how could i feel any differently, you dorks? "

#metrictita #okay so obviously i had a lot of thoughts and feelings about this AND I HAVE MORE!!! #THE SUNFLOWERS AND ROSES!! THE CUTE LIL PEACE SIGN!! THE FACT THEY PICKED A PEACEFUL SPOT!! ALL THE TIME THEY SPENT PAINTING!!! AHHHHH #and chiyo sees and appreciates all of this too but it's the fact that?? they see her?? so differently from how she sees herself #and that is just!!!! a punch to the gut in the best way possible ASDFGF #vee i'm holding all of them so gently and tenderly and i'm weeping :' ))))) #once again thank you for these asks bc they struck me right in the heart <3 #interactions | chiyoko #a chain reaction in your heart | adulthood | chiyoko
