the way i know in my heart of hearts that if crumb had not “chosen” a cat for his persona the mcyt community would’ve avian’d his ass so fast

#icarus speaks #chosen in quotes bc crumb wasn’t originally a cat LMAO #it was a dog but ppl kept telling her she drew dogs like cats #so she just ran with it #and now gets called a hamster 💀

Okay this character’s a brinarr which is like a robot made out of coral possessed by several ghosts specifically Einarr ghosts which is one of the original four nations who all lived on one continent before the apocalypse and the Einarr lived on a plateau which got spirited away to another plane of existence but a lot of them didn’t want to go so they’re ghosts now and the people on the shoreside (which was a ragtag group from all over who heard a magic voice from the ocean telling them to come build an underwater city to prepare for the storm which was gonna come destroy the whole world in a year’s time) created robot bodies out of magic coral for the ghosts to live in except several ghosts had to fuse together in order to be strong enough to inhabit the constructs so that’s what a brinarr is except not this brinarr forget all of that cuz he wasn’t actually several ghosts fused together at all he’s like. It’s kinda unclear actually. He’s created by the sea itself or something so that’s why he can summon little sea creatures. Anyway wanna hear the clip where he mindmelds with a giant clam

#i just like explaining ethersea lore there’s so many weird rabbit holes lmao #icarus is talking #taz #taz ethersea #zoox anthellae #q

whoops another prime soul got loose, huh.

TERMINAL DATA ICARUS PRIME TYPE: PRIME SOUL DATA: [read more for a lil bit of lore]

Compared to the other Prime Souls, Icarus is incredibly young, having lived during the tail end of humanity, creating machines and mechanical augmentations, even going so far as to replace some of their own flesh with steel.  Humans weren't made to become more than they already are.  Icarus' father already toed the line between man and machine by creating armor for the soldiers they worked to assist, but without the necessary resources, only a few were made, laden with bugs and small errors that nobody had time to fix.  He was only supposed to be an assistant. Assisting with the final screws, making sure the wires were in place, making sure that everything was at least functional, usable. But there had to be a better way, right? Instead of just armor, why not make use of the machines that they've all been working on? Why not just mesh flesh with machine, make our own flesh and blood power the machinery that makes up our skin, become an immortal being.  When he ended up in Hell, he tried something similar. He couldn't die twice, right? So he searched through Violence, running through the wastelands, picking up bits and pieces of robots long gone, soldering the pieces together, placing it over his flesh, sticking small wires and tubes through the skin, feeding the metal his own blood. After all, he had plenty to spare, right?  The Angels took notice.  Husks shouldn't be trying to make themselves stronger. They should be serving their time in Hell. Doing their punishment.  Justice and Splendor carved through his body, slicing through both metal and flesh alike.  His blood was not enough.  Too many injuries, not enough time to heal, to pull it all back together. He screamed- or at least tried to.  The Angels pulled apart his cut limbs, separating them into locked boxes, buried deep within the levels of Hell, keeping them from ever coming back together, from ever sewing his sinew back together. His soul survived.  They didn't notice, paying more attention to his body, making sure that nothing- neither drop of blood nor shard of bone- could touch.  He ran back to the train tunnel to the labyrinth, dodging the beams of the spotlights, away from the eyes of the Angels. 

#ultrakill oc #ultrakill #schellisart #dragonschellisart #one of three ocs that are for an ultrakill world and icarus is the only one thats not just an au version of another oc #yknow this was going to be a ref sheet. and then i got lost in the rendering sauce #lmao imagine trying to modify yourself to survive better and then you die twice and the metal parts are now melted into your skin #fun fact! his armor was originally red and brown like the guttermen & guttertanks in violence #and once he turned into a prime soul it changed colors to gold and white. he absolutely hates it #looks a lil similar to an angel dontcha think? :] #also his body is a lil waxy. candley guy #also this man is tiny compared to everyone else i think hes like a lil shorter than gabriel bc i think its funny

OH BOY book announcement. on the one hand im excited because MORE EDDIE HELL YEAH and also ive heard good things about the other books, but on the other hand nO i LOVE the backstory that we as a fandom have created for eddie, i don't want anything else!!! i don't want to see it any other way!!!

and im also hellllllla not looking forward to the upheaval it surely WILL cause when Certain Things do/don't get "confirmed"

#and yEAH i KNOW the books arent canon but theyre also not not canon? #like theyre this weird in between kinda thing #and yeah i just dont like the Implications #ALSO the plot for it makes NO sense AT ALL??? #a record producer 'discovering' eddie PRE S4????? #we obviously all know how that pans out so??? whats the point???? #ALSO if this paige lady is a love interest (which is highly suspected) that is a GROOOOSSS power imbalance i am Not Here For #like idgaf if shes a woman bc bi eddie? hell yeah!!!! #but like her being in this position of power over eddie offering him everything hes ever wanted??? #if she IS a love interest then yikes yikes YIKES #(also HOW is that gonna work with the cc boys????? unless they make a whole brand new set of bandmates) #ALSO i dont like the name al for his father lmao that Does Not fit with the image in my head #eddie munson #stranger things #flight of icarus

[tea-cat-arts]

LETS GO- Kevin reference!!!

#honkai impact #honkai star rail #sorry to tag both games but I think its applicable here #mihoyo stop- he's already dead #Implying that Kevin existed in Star Rail's universe and got killed offscreen is so disrespectful its just funny #I can't even be upset #i will still be upset over that stupid Icarus metaphor because it still sucks #no I will never get over hi3 part 1's terrible ending #too bad he's already dead in the star rail verse because now I'm thinking about him as like a failed follower of nihility #kinda like how the annihilation gang is to destruction #cuz he nails the “life has no inherent meaning” aspect while completely missing the “so create your own meaning” part #as shown by him thinking that “birds learned to fly as a survival skill and theres no poetic reason behind it” is some kind of bad thing #like bro- we also eat to survive but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a good meal #i got off track and dont remember where i was going with this #but ya- happy to be hearing about kevin again even if it was just a brief moment #pee paw Welt is out here giving Kevin more respect than the hi3 writers ever did lmao

[theabyssgazesalsointoyou]

'i don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush' is such a richjake coded lyric

#yeah sure the fire but it's also really important that jake LITERALLY fell for rich #like. literally rich fell first jake fell harder #so hard that he broke his legs lmao #which loops back to the icarus thing #no other ship does it like them they're so insane people just don't get it #bmc #be more chill #richjake

[vampiremansionpoolboy-moved]

ok i love my hands sm

#icarus hand appreciation post lmao #i don’t mean it in a weird way just my hands r kinda masc and like boney and veiny and yeah augh my hands r so gender validating #toad.text #.fits #..kinda ig

[babylon5]

some people on here are so fucking vile to beginning writers especially younger ones and i hate it. contrary to popular opinion no one exits the womb with a perfect understanding of creative writing (actually the concept of this is highly subjective anyway but!!) or grammatical structures. it takes Time to build these things!!!! i love being a hater but when you're hating on, like, traumatized teenagers writing about icarus or whatever because they don't know how else to put what they're going through into words, that's just being an asshole i think lol

#dr pepper.txt #if u were concerned with the quality of their work youd encourage them to keep writing instead of belittling what they've made lol #very rarely do people actually have a natural ability to do something. writing is easier for some ppl and not easy for others obviously #but 99% of the time the 'cringey' icarus poem you're reading? #in a few years with proper practice and encouragement and determination you'll probably reread their new work and enjoy it #like. i feel weird because every other writer i've seen has major opinions on WHAT is ''real writing'' #what is 'good writing' what is bad writing and what genres or forms #or approaches to writing are ''valid'' #and yeah there are a lot of criticisms that need to be made of these things! because some of them #ARE harmful portrayals and methods!!! but 99% of the time when ppl talk about it #like people who are writers with relatively big social media platforms i mean not like. bloggers making genuine criticism posts btw #i want to make that clear because tumblr is weird about jumping to conclusions lmao #but like these writers.. #....they're not making any real points. they're saying ''i personally hate xyz even if it is harmless so i am going to call anyone who does #-xyz cringe and lame'' #which like - how does this help your creative process at all #this post just turned into a ramble about just writing community frustrations in general lmao sorry

[raayllum]

callum’s name meaning dove in gaelic and doves being symbols of peace, freedom, and love

#sounds like him #tdp callum #also icarus and trojan war bullshit my beloved #bc symbols of aphrodite lmao #which damn she Also got sparrows and swans (which makes sense honestly) #just funny that she has so many birds

[raptorrobot]

I was just thinking- does Icarus (angel form) have an enraged mode like Gabriel?

he sure does !! have some little reference charts i made a while back

#icarus prime #ultrakill oc #his wings/halo are dull and don't emit any light because he's oooold #and because he never really uses them lmao #i imagine archangels dont lose the light of their wings/halo bc of their sheer concentrated holiness #but angels w/ human souls like him can lose that light overtime just from age + non-use #fun 2 think about

[apollos-boyfriend]

being in mcrp fandoms has literally ruined my sense of fanart bc i’ll see people in other fandoms complaining how a fanartist drew x character in a way that doesn’t pertain to canon like babes…. 70% of the fun of fanart is making your own design for the characters wym

#icarus speaks #mcrp fandoms….. and homestuck. #like if i stuck to drawing characters in a canon way i might as well just shoot myself #because have you SEEN some of the shit we have to work with? #i will be six feet under before i draw biblically accurate ranboo in a serious way #this also goes for people doing ‘redesigns’ #like wym redesign just make that ur canon lmao

#I think i'm very funny #taz ethersea #in case it wasnt clear in order: #zoox anthellae #devo la main #amber gris #tolliver cern #oksana kodeira #finneas cawl #brinarr #(this one's just like everyone lmao free space) #taz urchin #the adventure zone #taz #icarus is talking #dont let this flop dont let this flop

guy who has never hosted a muIti-animator project a day in xis life aND WHO IS ACTIVELY NOT IN THE SELFSHlP COMMUNITY YET BECAUSE HIS BLOG WILL NEVER BE FINISHED: oh it would be so cool to host a seIfship muIti-animator project for the community to Everybody's Falling In Love by *repeat repeat

#and the choir sings (text) #DONT WORRY THAT I AND L IN SELFSHlP (<- including this one) ARE SWITCHED OUT. so they won't show up in the tags hfhgg. #but oughhh jace icarus starlight's love of community events will be aers downfall hfdhhf #its a fun song with a lot of interpretable lyrics and the main (admittedly amatonormative) lyric is so fun and cute for a romantic f/o thing #PERSONALLY. i would like the lyrics ''(gravity) is pulling me down (we are free)'' because fallen angel type beat baby B) #i just like maps where the song can fit A LOT of different creators ideas!!! #like OK Overture by ajr; multi-genre nightmare? FANTASTIC choice. accounts for a LOT of creative freedom based on parts dealt :> #this one stays very much in the genre but i do think its flexible in what people could play with :>! #but for now its just so funny. like as IF i have time energy OR reputation and foundation to be able to even engage in such an idea #like YOU AINT DOING SHT TIL YOU CAN ACTUALLY POST A COMMUNITY PR0MO POST LMAO!! #lmao lmao anyway goodnight to the three people who can actually even find these <333

Guys. Guys

So you know how dinosaurs are domesticated in Dragon Ball? Like they have wild dinos running around but also have them as pets?

What if.... what if Gohan had an emotional support dinosaur.

#dbz #it occurred to me while writing this that that's just Icarus LMAO #But Gohan can have more than one pet big reptile if he wants I think he deserves it #the dino could have a harness like those therapy dogs and stuff <3 #I'm imaging some kind of raptor because I love raptors.... #or maybe some kind of small sauropod? #Ohmdenosaurus? #Or maybe a paracephalosauria #like texacephale #or tylocephale #Imagine a little tylocephale gently headbutting Gohan whenever he feels overwhelmed
