Screaming, crying, punching the AIR RIGHT NOW! LOOK HOW F'ING PERFECT THIS IS I'VE NEVER SQUEALED SO LOUDLY OVER SOMETHING IN MY LIIIIIIIIIIFFFEEEEEEEE!!!!!
even thought this took me forever to finish, this all started from the pretty simple idea of: what if Winx fairies but with actually fantasy inspired designs?
I actually first had a more ambitious concept planned but I settled for something more reminiscent of the original outfits to keep them recognisable. I still want to eventually revisit my more ambitious designs but for now, have this.
The design inspirations for every character should be pretty obvioius: Bloom gets some fun dragon features, Stella gets to be a little more extravagant because of her royal status, Flora gets to look like a dryad, Layla is a fish, Tecna becomes a straight up (installation) wizard and Musa gets some fun bird features (cause songbirds, you know)
If you want to hear me talk about it more, I made a video talking about it: https://youtu.be/dhVM2W9aqHw
Whilst I did make a post about timelines and possible magic and extension of life, somehow, the simple explanation escaped me completely. Especially as someone who lives in Norway, where Winter is half of the year.
When were Lila and Jaysohn born, if they knew their dad half their life? Early Winter. Geoffrey probably died sometime right before Spring, where the snow is still thick and the air still freezing. Let's say, if the plot of the story takes place in September-October, Geoffrey died in March-April, with the kids born around December-January. It would, actually, explain everything. We know, from Viola, that these stoats don't follow normal stoat mating patterns; Viola is having her kids in Autumn. Therefore, who's to say Tula couldn't have Lila and Jaysohn in Winter? They're sapient creatures, who can think and plan. We also get the small glimpse that Tula knows that they may have some control over when they get pregnant, but not always. Who's to say it didn't happen to her, too? What if, that Winter was where Tula gained so much, and nearly lost everything in one moment.
Although, I still believe Ava is overestimating her own age just so she can get away with more things.
The Scions' opinions of important political meetings and Alliance war councils, a thread:
Estinien: if Aymeric won't be there, okeydokey, whatever 👍 but if Aymeric WILL be there, absolutely not!! being subjected to questions like "my friend! what've you been up to?" and "how are you?" is more than he feels like dealing with tbh. also if he has to suffer Aymeric bullying him about his lack of money sense one more time he's dragoon jumping out the window
Krile: politics aren't my forte but if you need me to, I'll go :)
Alisaie: UUUUGGGHHHH [bangs head on table]
Alphinaud: this is his natural habitat. it is also where he's most powerful, so beware !!
Thancred: putting that PhD in espionage to good use and helping his friends/allies in so doing is good for his health (and his self-esteem)
Y'shtola: sometimes it's a tasty problem to chew on and sometimes it's just annoying. if Garlemald is involved, it's probably the latter
Urianger: he's been invited to exactly two meetings out of like 30 and only attended one (and showed up unannounced to another). he'd rather stay home and do nerd shit or go scouting with Thancred. we stan an introverted nerd king ✌️
G'raha Tia: just happy to be brought along for the ride ❤️ no situation is unbearable so long as he's by his inspiration's side 😊
O'ravi: [doodling chibis of her friends on the back of a report and scribbling hearts around them] wydm this is "work", i'm just hanging out with my boyfriend and my besties
for those who don't know, this is literally my song, this is my religion, this is the song that made me fall in love with my city (i can't even explain, i'm not from new york lol & i think this probably doesn't make any sense at all because i am talking about the city i live in right now, not my hometown but well it's just my own interpretation) & it means the world to me. hard to pick just three but i'll try my best:
i used to think we lived at the top of the world - oh yeah, great, we are starting with the very first line, can i quote the whole song maybe...?
life was easier then/nina, everything is easier when you're home - so... if you don't know, i left my hometown a few years ago & moved to a big city where i am, well, entirely alone, no family & all. sometimes i feel homesick. trust me when i tell you this line kills me every single time, in fact, i am typing this with tears in my eyes. this is one of my favourite lines from the entire show, it's so simple but so personal to me.
i feel like all my life i've tried to find the answer, working harder, learning spanish, learning all i can, i thought i might find the answer out at stanford, but i'd stare out at the sea thinking where am i supposed to be? so please, don't say you're proud of me when i've lost my way - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
okay i'm just gonna share that little fanfic i mentioned in my last post over in Google Docs here since i can't get past tumblr's weird character-limit-per-block restriction
fair warning, it's kind of rough and i'm electing to leave it in bullet point format but yeah. have the most fully realized thing i've ever written
5: Do you and your f/o prefer having sex in the dark or with the lights open?
they prefer the lights to be on so they can see me and worship me properly but I am still a bit shy and nervous because they are so handsome and I am no model so I tend to ask for it to be dim kxfngj
15: Do you prefer pleasuring your f/o or having them pleasure you?
I am a people pleaser so I'm always on my knees for them LMAOOO and I a dick sucker connoisseur and I enjoy hearing how good I can make them feel, sometimes they have to peel me off them and it can be the other way when all they want is between my legs ;dknbjsrtr
but when they go down I will say it's something else to watch your boyfriends who are also dating each other eat your pussy and make out with each other, sharing is caring and all that LMAOO
Sometimes I think about how even when I'm trying not to be, I am entirely made of the people I love. I recently reconnected with a close friend I hadn't seen in about three years. Apparently they're into watching video essays now. I'm more of a gaming YouTube person, but to each their own, I've always known this friend to be a touch more academic than me anyway. Fair enough. We find other things to talk about.
It is two months later. My watch later list is entirely filled with video essays. Three years is not enough time to forget how to love somebody. I'm glad of that.
