OC in three

Thankyou @writingphoenix for the tag.

I would actually really like to see @generic-whumperz do something like this. If anyone else would like to, consider yourself tagged then. 🙂

Sp Special Containment: Aramais.

I chose Aramais because of how heavy I've been writing into his character lately. I love him so much, and I have a lot coming up for him soon.

For me he is like a father/guardian to the other contained weapons in the facility. He is often watching out for them and making sure things are done right. Through this he has to also heal himself, he has a lot of trauma to work through. He's got Andy though. I'm excited where this story is going.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to explain the pics, but oh well.

The knife in the mirror: I find Aramais gets frustrated with his pass and himself. The mirror is a constant reminder of what he was forced to be. He has broken several and the facility doesn't allow him to have one any longer.

Standing on top of the building: Aramais is a thrill seeker so he likes doing this stuff, but this is also inner because one wrong step he could fall.

The patient: Aramais is not used to being taken care of. The more Andy learns about Aramais the closer they grow. I feel like that picture resembles Aramais being taken care of, he is shocked but still holds onto Andy's hands for the comfort.

Should I do Whumpee and Jaimie?

Get to Know Your Character Challenge

I wanted to do a small challenge with prompts you can draw (or write about) to get to know your character a little better. They purposefully don't have a lot of the *actual* character showing because I wanted to focus on their personal belongings, preferences and daily habits instead. That being said, feel free to do with those prompts as you choose! Day 1: Draw an item that they use on a daily/regular basis. It doesn't need to have a profound meaning or something, it's just something that is around them and handled by them a lot. This can be a tool, a notebook, their favourite coffee mug. If it's something they burn through/fill up/break and replace, draw the last 3 items of that kind during their peak usage. Day 2: How does their first meal of the day look like? How is it usually set up, what type of dishes, cutlery, etc. do they use? What do they eat most of the days? Draw the setup just before they are about to dig in. Day 3: Draw them in their designated sleeping space. How does their bed look like, and their sheets? What is their favourite sleeping position? What do they wear to sleep? Day 4: What do they wear in downtime? Armour is cool and all but no-one can wear that 24/7. What do they wear in their leasure time, what do they feel most comfortable and most themselves in while lounging about and do busy nothing? Day 5: What furniture item or decoration do you personally think looks atrocious but you know exactly that they would absolutely love it? Draw that item with as much love and appreciation that they would feel over it. Day 6: How would their shoe rack with their most often worn shoes look like? Do they take good care of their shoes or are they caked in mudd, stained, creased? Would they even use a shoe rack or do the shoes all pile up in a mountain next to it? Which shoes do they wear in different seasons, would the rack look much different then? Day 7: Draw their favourite flower (or plant if they aren't the flower type). How would they present them? As bouquet in a vase? A single flower in an old jam jar? A simple flower pot? In a garden bed? Day 8: When they go to bed, what happens with their worn clothes? Do they fold them neatly or do they have The Chair? Does it just pile up on the floor or in a hamper? Do they have a rack where they hang them? Day 9: What do they look like first thing in the morning? Bags under their eyes? Messed up hair? Pajamas untidy? Drool drying in the corner of their mouth? Pillow creases? Day 10: They have to cook themselves - what do they attempt? What ingredients do they use? How does the workspace look afterwards? Is the food any good? Day 11: They caught a mean cold and are too weak to leave the bed. What do they do all day long, where do they have their camp? What are their "need to get better" essentials? Day 12: Who is the person they trust the most? Would they manage a trust fall? Is that trust mutual? Day 13: What is their favourite animal? Would they snuggle up if given the chance or do they rather appreciate from afar? Would they cuddle with a plushie instead? Day 14: How would their ideal room look like? Floorplan, furniture, architectural style? Is it heavily decorated or rather minimalist? How tidy is it? Any knick-knacks of personal value? Have fun creating!

Alright so this is YET ANOTHER character introduction for Amber but I need some nice things to post and I figure you can never post too much about your main character so here she is AGAIN! The rest of today shall be spent making the REST of these for the other characters of Fragments of Magic.

Blurb:

Just when Amber finally starts to understand the basics of how to wield the last part of her elemental magic, her mentor, Sage, is captured by the King’s elite forces for crimes against the crown. Living sequestered in the woods and with nowhere else to turn, Amber ventures to the nearby port city to look for help. There she finds an unwilling thief, Brentan, and manages to convince him to help in exchange for a favor for his own plans. Amber has no choice but to accept and they must work together to find a way to rescue Sage.

“Fun” Facts About Axxila

I am taking part in an Outer Rim Imperial initiative to educate citizens on planets outside the Core Worlds. Should anyone wish to know anything about Axxila, please submit your inquiries here.

To start off, for those of you who did not know, Axxila has 5 different foggy seasons throughout the year.

1. Miserable Foggy Season

2. Rainy Foggy Season

3. Suffocating Foggy Season

4. Cold Foggy Season

5. Humid Foggy Season

The sixth and seventh season was of course “Endless Storm Season” and “Endless Sleet Season”. Occasionally, we would have autumn. However, that only happens every five years or so.

Just had to ask myself while writing "which of my characters would be most likely to set someone's hat on fire because said someone was being rude to their friend?" And I think questions like that really are the true joy of writing

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.

The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.

You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character

#the actual animation of the wolf eating your character wasnt scary he kind of just cartoonishly swallows the character whole lol #the scary part is being pursued by him and never knowing how close he is #i remember being surprised when i first saw the game bc it was presented to me as #a fun addictive sort of game kinda like a mobile app game #and then i see it and its a horror game and the creators are just completely oblivious to it lmao #dream art #<- thats my tag for all my dream-inspired art #art #gif #photomanipulation #digital art #liminal #weirdcore #used a mix of ai photos and regular photos for this one #the ai stuff is sooooo good for recreating what a dream looks and feels like #but i didnt use it too much bc i wasnt able to get the specific photos i wanted :/ #hmmmm this is vore isn’t it

been replaying the Portal series I think this is where its heading

#i haven't drawn in like. half a month. which listen i know i don't post much here but i do draw a lot #i have another blog. but also sometimes i just don't post things. i draw for myself #just got burnt out from working on an animation final 😔 #so anyway. eased myself back in with a silly comic about portal #my irl saw my shitty sketch and thought glados was painting chell which is very funny to me. #chelldos #but like. unrequited. glados is obsessed with chell. chell is not having a good time #portal #chell #GlaDOS #GlaD0S #my art #og post #1k #5k #10k #20k #edit: i made this post almost a year ago and it haunts me. theres a typo. chell is out of character. #because i couldn't come up with a good reason for her to be there in the first place #and this was a shitty ms paint replicating drawing that i did just to get back into drawing #i didn't think it would gain much attention #i was Wrong #anyway someone in the comments said this is what happens when you speedrun thats an infintely better setup for the punchline #EDIT 2: ok i fixed it fuck you

Mizu, femininity, and fallen sparrows

In my last post about Mizu and Akemi, I feel like I came across as overly critical of Mizu given that Mizu is a woman who - in her own words - has to live as a man in order to go down the path of revenge.

If she is ever discovered to be female by the wrong person, she will not only be unable to complete her quest, but there's a good chance that she'll be arrested or killed.

So it makes complete sense for Mizu to distance herself as much as possible from any behavior that she feels like would make someone question her sex.

I felt so indignant toward Mizu on my first couple watchthroughs for this moment. Why couldn't Mizu bribe the woman and her child's way into the city too? If Mizu is presenting as a man, couldn't she claim to be the woman's escort?

However, this moment makes things pretty clear. Mizu knows all too well the plight of women in her society. She knows it so well that she cannot risk ever finding herself back in their position again. She helps in what little way she can - without drawing attention to herself.

Mizu is not a hero and she is not one to make of herself a martyr - she will not set herself on fire to keep others warm. There's room to argue that Mizu shouldn't prioritize her quest over people's lives, but given the collateral damage Mizu can live with in almost every episode of season 1, Mizu is simply not operating under that kind of morality at this point. ("You don't know what I've done to reach you," Mizu tells Fowler.)

And while I still feel like Mizu has an obvious and established blind spot when it comes to Akemi because of their differences in station, such that Mizu's judgment of Akemi and actions in episode 5 are the result of prejudice rather than the result of Mizu's caution, I also want to establish that Mizu is just as caged as Akemi is, despite her technically having more freedom while living as a man.

Mizu can hide her mixed race identity some of the time, and she can hide her sex almost all of the time, but being able to operate outside of her society's strict rules for women does not mean she cannot see their plight.

It does not mean she doesn't hurt for them.

Back to Mizu and collateral damage, remember that sparrow?

While Mizu is breaking into Boss Hamata's manse, she gets startled by a bird and kills it on reflex. She then cradles it in her hands - much more tenderly than we've seen Mizu treat almost anything up to this point in the season:

She then puts it in its nest, with its unhatched eggs. Almost like she's trying to make the death look natural. Or like an accident.

You see where I'm going with this.

When Mizu kills Kinuyo, Mizu lingers in the moment, holding the body tenderly:

And btw a lot of stuff about this show hit me hard, but this remains the biggest gut punch of them all for me, Mizu holding that poor girl's body close, GOD

When Mizu arranges the "scene of the crime," Kinuyo's body is delicate, birdlike. And Mizu is so shaken afterward that she gets sloppy. She's horrified at this kill to the point that she can't bring herself to take another innocent life - the boy who rats her out.

MIZU'S ONE MOMENT OF SOFTNESS AND MERCY, COMING ON THE HEELS OF HER NEEDING TO KILL A GIRL TO SPARE HER THE WORST FATE THAT THIS RIGID SOCIETY HAS TO OFFER WOMEN, AND TO SPARE A BROTHEL FULL OF INNOCENT WOMEN WHO ARE THE CASTOFFS OF SOCIETY, NEARLY RESULTS IN ALL OF THEIR DEATHS

No wonder Mizu is as stoic and cold as she is.

And no wonder Mizu has no patience for Akemi whatsoever right before the terrible reveal and the fight breaks out:

Speaking of Akemi - guess who else is compared to a bird!

The plumage is more colorful, a bit flashier. But a bird is a bird.

And, uh

Yeah.

I like to think that Mizu killing the sparrow is not only foreshadowing for what she must do to Kinuyo, but is also a representation of the choice she makes on Akemi's behalf. She decides to cage the bird because she believes the bird is "better off." Better off caged than... dead.

But because Mizu doesn't know Akemi or her situation, she of course doesn't realize that the bird is fated to die if it is caged and sent back home.

Mizu is clearly not happy, or pleased, or satisfied by allowing Akemi to be dragged back to her father:

But softness and mercy haven't gotten Mizu anywhere good, recently.

There is so much tragedy layered into Mizu's character, and it includes the things she has to witness and the choices she makes - or believes she has to make - involving women, when she herself can skirt around a lot of what her society throws at women. Although, I do believe that it comes at the cost of a part of Mizu's soul.

After all, I'm gonna be haunted for the rest of this show by Mizu's very first prayer in episode 1:

"LET" her die. Because as Ringo points out, she doesn't "know how" to die.

Kind of like another bird in this show:

#blue eye samurai #mizu #akemi #kinuyo #bes #women are birds okay they are BIRDS #the let me die line is so SCARY AND SAD like a part of Mizu wants death but she cant? she doesnt know how?? excuse you show??? #when all these other delicate birds are dying all around her #akemis character gets more and more gutwrenching upon subsequent rewatches because whenever she says her life is in danger #NO ONE BELIEVES HER - certainly not other women #because shes rich and pampered and that means shes safe and is worrying about nothing right? right????? #and it turns out that all of akemis instincts were right and she was in danger the ENTIRE TIME #also I need to make a post just for kinuyo because I am sad

[Fragments of Magic] . Everyone over on IG voted Purple last night in the polls so here she is! Purple personified! Mimora has had a TON of different variations throughout the years but the core of her character has always stayed the same. There is one nickname I forgot to add but that's a surprise for later on in the book(s) as its a tribute to someone who meant a lot to me ♥ Can't wait for you guys to find it out ;)c This lady gets one POV chapter as a treat for all the bs she has to put up with lol. . Book Blurb: Just when Amber finally starts to understand the basics of how to wield the last part of her elemental magic, her mentor, Sage, is captured by the King’s elite forces for crimes against the crown. Living sequestered in the woods and with nowhere else to turn, Amber ventures to the nearby port city to look for help.
