#it was mostly a very fun stream

one string is all that I need

#Hatsune Miku #VOCALOID #or rather #piapro characters #Hatsune Miku Single String Ver. #<- yep that's the fan module I made for fun last year #the thing is. only half a month to go until it's mid autumn. and every year I try to draw something for the occasion #I just. started early this year... for some reason...... #well I mostly just wanna draw Her lmao. because the pokemon/miku voltage stuff is still being released and Im feelin the effect #and this year's magical miral design is so fuckign good.... thank u to miku artists. especially LAM and rella #as is always the case with this module the instrument/weapon (lol) she uses is a heavily stylized đàn bầu! #and I just realized while drawing this and looking at the ref sheets that I never detailed the pluck lmao #to be fair. usually its just like a piece of. anything #commonly bamboo or bone or plastic. shaped into a longish fingernail shape. its really the way u hold it that matters iirc #but yeah I spruced up the OG design for the instrument in this one lol. this is actually like my original vision I think #I really wanted to make that thing beast shaped. but I Just figured out how to properly stylize it when I designed the module #and! I did say this on stream but I am genuinely very proud of that design! that was genuinely big brain of me! so #future instrument variants will still probably base heavily on that general shape and principles lol. I'm playin in this space its MY muck #also I switched the number on her coat from 39 to 01 bc it's more on theme thats really it. nothin else to remark on there lol #and! once again based the dragon head on the lý dynasty dragon rather than later iterations. thats why the nose fin and no whiskers #and the metal nozzle is kinda supposed to call to mind a temple bell. not super sure i got that across well #but the rim design IS historical! I thiiiink early lê dynasty. just on ceramics instead of on bronze lmao #anyways thats it. I had fun colorin this one! kicked my ass a bit but I think I hashed it out mostly okay #have a good night lads! thank u mid autumn moon cakes for being bad to eat and sponsoring my late night drawin. and remember: #u only need one. but never say having more doesn't make it easier

I've always found Alexander Saburov interesting, especially P1 Rubin's take on him where he tells how Alexander in incognito saved people from burning house and went unrecognized for the deed (nor flaunted it). Wonderful and easy to miss characterization.

YES saburov's fucked up sense of performing duty by putting himself at risk... my favorite... have had thoughts brewing in response to this that aren't quite cooked enough yet but it's very much a gendered standard that he holds himself to IMO, of idealized masculinity as a responsibility. as an active role and as the way things must be done. making the choices that he thinks need to be made regardless of how bad they are for him. pairing beautifully with katerina's self-destructive attempts to conform to the extremely feminine-gendered role of mistress, pairing wonderfully with the two of them's catastrophic attempt to conform to the heteropatriarchal nuclear family archetype by adopting the changeling :^) and especially how this is a function of how saburov relates to his Job, a role that's been passed down in his family and Actually Is critical to the function of the Town, inescapably so as long as the system of rulers exists

#it Is a little funny to me that p1 showed this family structure being flawed so extensively (with all three rulers!) and now p2 is a You #Must Get A Wife And Kids Then Everything Will Be Fine simulator (...more or less w/ all three rulers but mostly re: the player). #alexander saburov #asks #anonymous #also stream ee's song Big Climb. I have no idea how it wasn't previously on my ee exclusive saburovs playlist but it's very them #further: I do think gender is a factor in saburov's vitriol towards peter/the architects (in this view of masculinity as self-discipline #/moderation. They Don't Do It Like That) and I think that's a fun field to explore in several directions. and to contrast with rubin who ha #a similar outlook about his own gender ('perfect valor' etc.) but is an outcast and out of the spotlight in a gay coded way; whereas #alexander and his wife are under the utmost scrutiny wrt being held to Gendered Positions in the town AND are bound by duty and history to #uphold its traditions. like. saburov has no escape that could result in a healthier relationship with gender #and if you're a wise-minded saburovs t4t enjoyer... well... The Layers Only Deepen #pathologic

#Doodles #Welcome Home #Barnaby B.

[crescentfool]

ohh the joy of videos and streams... i like listening to people talk about things they like/think about it’s very contagious... 🥺

#lizzy speaks #THIS IS BROUGHT TO U BY THE MINATO BRAINCELLS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH.. #so so many of my interests feel like they're in some kind of hibernation lately in terms of the emotions they evoke #my brains been mostly gravitating towards formulating strategies and trying new things in splatoon right now... LOL.. so i havent thought- #a whole bunch about other things i like even if they do mean a lot to me.. #so i really appreciate being around other people who really like the things that they like because its infectious and reminds me why- #i enjoy those characters / ships / whatever else #like oh... ryomina.. minato.. ryoji... i love them very much and i like hearing other people express their appreciation for them #also yosuke.... i like hearing my friends talk about yosuke his characters a very fun one for me even if i never took the time 2 personally #analyze him its just very nice to be around that kind of energy! im so grateful! #related but unrelated squid school made a video about the splatoon manga... which i havent thought abt in a month or two #yet somehow watching that revitalized my sleeping lil braincell that loves vintage coroika... #IDK i just feel like lately ive gotten to be around a very contagious positive energy of people who appreciate stuff and i like that!! #mayb ill stream again... something about talking about things out loud and not over text evokes a certain kind of insanity #i like to draw to express my love 4 the things i've come across but sometimes i think too much abt the quality.. LOL #so maybe ill just go FUCK IT we ball!! better to draw than to not draw at all. or ill just stream 2 outlet the 'hehe i love so many things' #there is so much love stored in my heart it hurts i lov So many Things and I love Being reminded of that god i love people loving things!!!

Reading Fox

#illustration #furry #anthro #furry fox #i did this illustration mostly while streaming! #it was fun to try a different style. i'm very comfortable with lines so doing something without them #was a bit of a challenge. but i think i will do more pieces like this! #i have a sketch of a little mouse guy relaxing with his laundry hanging from a giant ribcage #i think i will do that one next

if we're mutuals and i unfollow suddenly and you happen to take notice of it, please do not take it personally i still love my friends n whatnot i am just. getting very tired and need to cut down the mcyt content on my dash

and if i unfollow and refollow a couple times that is just me testing the waters jdhfj idk what i wanna do man i just have to do something for my mental health

#im gonna try my best to not up and leave bc *i* still enjoy posting #but it's been 6 months and some posts still make me sick to my stomach sometimes! #i've tried everything. blocking hundreds of ppl on main so i couldnt see their tags. asking ppl to not mention stuff around me. ignoring it #nothing has worked so far and i am not getting better #so i think i just need to be less involved #it's much easier to make my own posts bc i get to decide when i feel well enough to bring him up #and i get to talk about whatever i want! wanna mention some cool stream moments. skyblock stuff. random fun facts. etc #but then on my dash it's like. oh you were feeling bad? too bad there he is. another reminder 👍 #and i could blacklist stuff but then tumblr is like ''HEY THERE'S A POST HERE YOU CANT SEE AND HERE IS THE EXACT REASON WHY'' #like... that doesnt help. if i see ''blacklisted tags: technoblade. tw death'' then that. doesnt make me feel any better #chat #anyways i have doodles i wanna make that are very vaguely related ot mcu but mostly based on a fandom headcanon(?) #i think we need to go back to the wings. when ppl gave him wings. and i like when ppl made the cape/coat his wings #i have. More Ideas for that.

[pyxscythe]

Also I think its time for me to come clean but I know very little about k!pyros lore but wants to find out more but also don't have time or attention spam to watch

No that's so fair I'll be honest if I weren't so fucking autistic about some of the ksmp characters I would not have the attention span or capacity to pay attention to ksmp LOL

I like to think I understand k!pyro like some of the best out of everyone and Jack would probably vouch for that but I cannot for the life of me sit and explain lore

#Yes I could explain Linc's so far pretty easily LMAO but like others not rly #K!pyro's lore timeline I could not explain in full I wouldn't immediately remember everything #There are some big things I could go over briefly but smaller things I would forget #Honestly with ksmp if you know/understand general characters you can be an enjoyer enough . Imo #Like fuck knowing the lore I think it's fun if you just like the characters cause look #Ksmp is at a good time only for Americans I think . It's at 8 pm EST. #If you don't watch from the start of s1 you're fucked on lore unless you can sit through the VOD channel #There's no good guide to watching the VODs up to the current point because not all POVs are necessary to watch really #So it's hard to properly get into atp like very hard #So if people don't know lore I DON'T BLAME THEM. #And the community doesn't help I'm sorry do not listen to 90% of what people say. #Just listen to me. Honestly. Literally don't ask anyone else about lore. They'll just talk about clownzy. #I'm deadass they will find a way to make everything about Clown or the Branzy cameo (HE'S NOT COMING BACK.) #Ignore them . #Anyways all that to say. I support ksmp enjoyers who don't know the fucking lore for 90% of it #It's not easy LMAO #Stream-only lore is hard for me to stay with and that's why I adore ksmp being in relatively short sessions on a consistent schedule #Every Saturday 8 PM EST unless something comes up. It's spaced out it's consistent it's a great schedule #In principle. The time is not great for Everyone sadly #Hell it's awful for basically all of the cast it's mostly Aussies waking up at like 8 in the morning #《👾》

no honestly with twitter now in shambles what the fuck are artists supposed to do

#im not claiming twitter as dead just yet #but we also dont know what elon is gonna do #so #i mostly get commissions off twitter #dA is just unpleasant to be on and i think its only worth if you do closed species stuff #which i mean. i enjoy doing that. #but i just feel like #idk #i feel very irrelevant and invisible on dA its more of a all my art in good quality gallery website #im going to look into toyhouse but #i dont really make designs? like i enjoy doing designs but my main focus is paintings #I PAINT. THATS WHAT I DO. #i have nothing to depend on and no revenue stream #i dont think this whole art thing is going to work out! #my art isnt really relevant on tumblr unless i make fanart #but then how the fuck do you convert that into commissions or anything #tumblr is more of a having fun website for me #its a bit late for an art only blog ngl #idk man i just #i dont even have the mental capacity to network or anything right now #obviously money isnt gonna fall into my hands from just existing #but idk #logging onto twitter is borderline torturous for me even tho i have a lot of supportive mutuals there (shoutout) #but. every time i go on twitter i literally just do harm o myself lmao #wtf are we supposed to do?

[comas-are-for-sleeping]

but anyway YEAH. media is WEIRD. my brother and i were talking abt it because he's like everything just sucks now. movies. tv. nothing has the heart that all the old shows do. voltron sucked ASS mcu shows are ENTERTAINING but are bare minimum emotionally deep and often just mine comics for their storylines and graphics instead of coming up w anything innovative, etc. he's studied film since he was younger than me and has passed on the analysis but mostly his thing is just like. where is the naruto. where is the kung fu panda, three act emotional arc, leading the main character to an epic role in their world via long hardships and trials that aren't boring, and like. the Emotions. the HOPE and optimism. yk? capitalism has sucked everything dry of meaning and it absolutely monumentally sucks

yeaaaah you know what you're right about marvel shows I dont read the comics but the ms marvel show is really just a watered down version of those (I've only seen the first three episodes tho so maybe not). HER POWERS WERE SO MUCH MORE COOL IN THE COMICS???

ok ok ok but!! have you seen our flag means death?? it is. a masterpiece. well ok. my sister hated the humor but she didn't even watch a whole episode and she's very picky. and supposedly the first episode is hard to get through (I loved it though). but!! taika waititi is in it/directed it and it's really just a lovely silly show about queer pirates fucking around and getting in trouble with England. And?? I learned that it's actually vaguely based on the truth? The main character (Stede Bonnet, Gentleman Pirate) did co-captain with Blackbeard for a year?? Absolutley fascinating?

but yes capitalism is terrible that's why I only listen to podcasts

well ok and ig sometimes i binge shows like hbo's titans but. eeeeh

#and oh back on the mcu the romance between sylvie and loki? horrifying #we need more movies like the studio ghibli classics tbh #and also there are a lot of shows (like stranger things) that are really good and then they get wildly popular and start being less true #to like the characters and plot and stuff #this whole vecna megaplot seems... not like it was the original plan?? i mean. a little bit *I guess* but also #it could have been *hinted* at better I think #like in the magnus archives!! the major arc was known right from the very start and with tv shows they just. can't do that #bc streaming services don't give them an upfront amount of seasons #or they keep wanting more even if the plot lines have all been mostly tied up #like idk if you know the show elite? it's being dragged waay out and *yes* it's still enjoyable but also... the characters have changed #and not in fun character arc ways they just feel untrue #ask #caps tw #loumingju #pen and ink

[vanivanvanilla]

my karmaland fixation waking up after mutuals and friends r talking abt it. hey guys

#van speaks #never got into it too deeply (ls took over very quickly) but it’s so fun #i mostly get my info from fan stuff but anytime i can understand stream content it’s so !!!

SKEASY HI I FEEL LIKE I HAVENT SEEN YOU ON MY DASH IN AGES HOW ARE YOU!!!

red my beloved, hi!! I've been kind of busy with work, now that it finally stared to get warm and sunny all the projects started moving forward so it's kind of hectic here

#and ngl i've been kind of avoiding tumblr lately #like back in april it was mostly the discourse that was getting to me #but for a while now i've been feeling like i dont belong here and that im just being annoying #ik it sounds very stupid #and certainly it's no ones fault the people here are lovely #so instead of acting like grown ass adult that im supposed to be and trying to figure out why im feeling that way #i just avoided all of my problems and watched old dteam content instead #i got jumpscared today while listening to dream's old speedrunning vod lmao he was just talking #and then suddenly bam! he's promoting g**s*****'s channel like ewww #i still hope dreams's gonna do some speedrunning streams i think he'd have a lot of fun in trying the all advancements #or icarus category (it's just speedrunning but you get an elytra and a stack of rockets it's really fun) #ANYWAY enough about me i heard that you finally moved huge congrats!!! #AND congrats on coimg out as angender im so sooo proud of you! #like ever since i've started following you i've seen you like trying to figure yourself out #so seeing you being comfortable and happy makes me very happy for you :') #now time for you work to start becoming less stressful and you're all set!

I love watching popular shows all the way through that I really wanted to growing up but never could due to availability and only having seen random episodes every now and again. I have NO clue how they'll end but I already know some of the major plot points. It also feels special to watch an episode, realize I've seen it before, then bask in the memories of when I first saw it.

#the mentalist #currently #I used to watch tv with my grandpa when I was little #he’d always flip the channels on commercial breaks so I never watched like a whole episode or show with him #he was born 1917 #died early 2018 #lived 100 years #anyway spending time with him when I was a kid was mostly watching tv together #so my memories of the shows he liked and watching them with him are really special #then I would also watch tv with my aunt in the summers and on school breaks #for context #my parents were very conservative and Christian so we weren't allowed to watch a lot of tv and had basic basic cable #so my aunt would always let us watch the fun stuff because she had the channels #castle #bones #and #the closer #were some of our favorites #and the first two haven't been on streaming sites until recently #so I'm finally watching them #long post #long tags #sorry I SUCK at tags #the mentalist was supposed to be listed before bones #I've seen bones the most out of any show

new dale hollow tomorrow. new nick shoulders at some point (or maybe already?? i dunno ive been busy). new cillë friday. big week for guys with my exact music taste (me)

[malewifemessi]

so embarrassing when there's a game playing during class time and the dumb jocks immediately ask the teacher to play the match and i, too, want to watch the game but i'm completely removed from them to the point where we rarely if ever interact (and i like it that way!) so i don't want to be seen like going along with them you know. later i have to go up to the teacher and be like hey can we watch the game the champions league is back lol

#obviously we only do this with like cool teachers or during relatively free periods #if they don't play it on the classroom tv we just open a sneaky tab on our laptops/phones no biggie #but still! during the wc it was so fun when they played the games on the big ass screens #i rememberspain v korea game on calculus croatia v brasil on art the argentina v netherlands on world politics etc etc #so good bc everyone was invested and you could hear other classes next to ours also watching it #and sometimes their stream was ahead of ours so you'd tell from their cheering that a team scored #and then in between periods they'd sing the national team anthems (mostly the argentina ones) !! #anyways. i am once again thinking about the world cup #2026 cannot come fast enough #very excited bc then i'll actually have a chance at going to a game bc of the location omg #*

Lore Workshop

Mostly just to look at while I figure out what’s staying, getting reworked, expanded on, and so on (no the Sin Eater doesn’t have a proper name yet because the naming conventions for the Wardens was Whack)

Ascian Counterpart:

Hecate - goddess of magic and necromancy; crossroads, entrance-ways, night, light, magic, witchcraft, the Moon, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, graves, ghosts, necromancy, and sorcery

Worked in Elpis developing concepts before taking the seat of Azem to gain a better understanding of the world they were making things for. Gender fluid, using he/she/they though among the trio mostly went by they. Venat was one of the few able to keep up with them. A gremlin menace who would workshop their spell concepts anywhere, including around others in the city. Was notoriously bad at resting, spending every waking moment researching, developing, and bothering Hades and Hythlodaeus.

Primal Counterpart:

Merikh the Void Mourner

A voidsent-like being bent on keeping the things he treasured safe whether said things want to be kept or not.

Primal transformation triggered after they lose too many companions, overwhelmed by grief and helplessness

Collection of bottles with people and treasures strapped and tied all over him, or does he pin them into a large book? Could have the souls leaking out between the pages like little ghostie goos

Big fluffer tail(s?)

His casting staff double as a great sword for that slick black mage dark knight duality

Black sclera and pitch tears, though in phase one seems more gleefully manic than anything

Phase two has him begging the players to stop fighting before they too disappear, pleading for them to join his collection and be safe

Mechanics have him swapping between staff and sword modes

Sin Eater Counterpart:

Phase 1: Eternal Life

Mouth covered by wings, bleeding light, a shambling corpse of a heavenly knight riddled with weapons, dragging a great sword behind them, repeats “kill” over and over, jerking almost reluctant movements when he attacks, has a cracked core acting as a heart, begs for death right before phase change

Phase 2: Eternal Spirit

Puppet master guiding the heavenly knight, wings covering their eyes, many hands to pull the strings, looms above the field, body covered by sets of wings, traps the knight in their chest for the remainder of the fight, the knight will claw his way out, reaching for the players and becomes a weak spot to dish out damage to like Shinryu’s heart, calls down the heavens as attacks

The Tumblr Tags: (I spoke about this on my main blog lol)

#their Ancient counterpart was Hecate who was very genderfluid and caused so much trouble workshopping new magic around people #their shard from the void managed to latch onto them as a baby when they cast magic for the first time near a tear and later #it manifests as their Esteem/Inner Darkness #their canon jobs are Black Mage and Dark Knight but they’ve dabbled in Astrologer Reaper and Ninja #Reaper left them feeling a very Wrong connection to the void so they only resort to that power when extremely put out #Krishna uses he/they pronouns! #I’m a little put off shipping an OC with a npc for some reason #but if I had to pick canon ships for him he would have a passing fling with Aymeric whenever they both have the time #and then he’s very attached to G’raha Tia #he had strained relations with the Scions for a long time when he first started adventuring but they are more like family now #the twins are his little siblings and he will maim anyone for them #he gave himself the scar over his eye during training for Ninja and the void magic lashed out to fix it #hence the one purple eye #he can still kind of see out of it but it’s actually better for tracing void magic and detecting tears now than actual sight #he was raised by his aunt Manvah in Ul’dah but born in the forests of Gridania by Quarrymill

#lore #for now anyways mostly just stream of consciousness collected in one place #I haven't decided if the horns I always glam on are real or not tho #it'd be a fun way to denote the void magic really setting in but also very cliche #I like them tho so we shall see
