Sorry this came so late- but Merry Christmas @part-time-pixie !! I was your secret Santa for the @mlsecretsanta 2023 event! This piece went through a lot of complications because I was so unsure about a lot of things! Let me run down the process!

I knew it had to be your AU since that’s a lot more personal and I myself am a big fan of personalized stuff! So I actually never knew anything about Winx before this so I researched- about 6 episodes for context of the fairy and specialist relations- so that’s one reason why the startup was slow but then!! I needed to figure out a setting- originally I was going with Magix City- but the color palette was more green and I wanted a more warm palette- but for the life of me I couldn’t find a place that screamed romance- eventually I gave in and just looked up “date in Winx” or something like that- and boom!! This place showed up- so heavy inspiration of the setting from this screen shot (lots of details were forgotten waaah-)

And then it was little things- from my research I realized they only transformed when battling so I needed a casual outfit (note for some reason I forgot to apply this logic to Luka’s fit I’m sorry 😭) for Adrien that wasn’t his powered up form for a casual setting- I ended up just asking- and I hope that didn’t clue you in but nonetheless I hope it was still somewhat a surprise! I’m so glad I did though because at that point I could finally finish the sketch- which was around the end of December so I was stuck on that for a while 😭

I finished the line art and coloring in a rush and man you can tell ;v; I went through a lot in coloring stage- I tried finishing this piece during a family outing and my markers (about 80+) fell out of their holders and went everywhere- also learned coloring over my white pen did not in fact keep it solid and the white began to get washed away from the marker on top, revealing the line art I messed up on beneath- one of the things that made me glad I was late is when you made this piece and I realized his gem clasp was teal- I was gonna make it yellow since that was the last red fountain specialist color not used and I assumed he’d just take it lmao! Though in short I went through all the stages of grief when doing the coloring ;v;

All to say though I hope despite all the flaws you still like it! I was really happy with this around the line art stage and even now- I’m just harsh on my own work but this is actually the biggest piece in my art book (I’ve been working on this book since Summer 2022!) so I suppose that is to say I’m glad I was able to try something new with this one!

(Also small note but I realized the quality turned out really fuzzy on here- if you want @part-time-pixie I can send a zip file to you in dms?)

Forming the Pack - Part 1

Autumn Embers Master List

Pheromones aren’t everything, of course, but you’ll get more cohesive group dynamics if everyone has scents that go together. Scent blockers and diffusers are everywhere in common spaces, so it’s not like people who’s scents don’t mesh can’t be around each other. Lots of people with subtler or hard to pin down scents only go au naturel on special occasions with family and their special someone.

Of course, the military is a whole other beast.

Almost every person serving active duty is an alpha, which lends itself to clashes. And alphas, who already tend to have stronger scents, put out even more aggressive pheromones in close proximity with one another. Industrial strength scent diffusers can only do so much. It results in proximity packs forming, alphas who are scent compatible spending more time with each other.

The 141 doesn’t form because of scent compatibility. When Price finds Simon and forms the task force, he doesn’t much care about what they each smell like. Their scents being on wildly different parts of the spectrum is better than if they were too close, Price reasons. His gear smells a bit spicy, Simon’s always has an earthy undertone. It’s easy to avoid squabbling, and only made easier by the way Simon readily assumes his position as John’s second. No muss, no fuss.

The first year passes. It’s hard work, but Simon makes it undeniably simpler. The Ghost has a presence that demands deference from the temporary members of the task force. And because Ghost follows his captain, that deference extends to Price. The two times someone had tried to upset the balance, Simon had reacted with such swift ferocity that Price hadn’t known there was a problem before it was resolved with a neck under a boot.

“Stand down, Ghost,” Price says around his cigar, the third time.

“'S soon as he acknowledges his superiors, Skipper,” Ghost rumbles, staring down at the sergeant who’s face is going an interesting shade of purple with shame and a lack of oxygen. “Yield, corporal.” The sergeant frantically taps Ghost’s boot. Ghost gives him just enough room to heave a breath, and snarls down, “Yield to the Captain.”

“Captain, I yield,” the young man gasps.

“You ever flout orders again, I’ll kill you myself,” Ghost growls.

After that, the mission had gone smoothly.

Days later, it’s just the two of them again, walking home from the pub. It’s a nice enough night for it, and they’re both too jumpy to call a car. Simon follows without comment, just lights a cigarette and falls into John’s wake, like always.

Four blocks from the base, Simon says, “Gotta piss.”

John snorts. “What, you didn’t go before we left? Hold it.”

“Alright,” Simon drawls. Without breaking stride, he lights another cigarette.

Of course, within another block, John becomes too aware of his own bladder. If Simon hadn’t said anything, he could probably have made it. Annoyed, he steps into an alley and behind a dumpster. His nose does not appreciate the assault on his senses, but he’s a soldier, he’s smelled worse. Simon stands guard at mouth of the alley as he does his business.

When he emerges, he tips his head. “Goin’?”

Simon quirks an eyebrow and exhales a cloud of smoke. “Am I?”

Price hums, takes in Simon’s relaxed posture. Without the skull covered balaclava, he’s softer. Not civilian soft - he’s still almost 2 meters of alpha, hardened by military training and torture. But where most military As balk at taking orders when they’re not in the field, Simon looks for ways to let Price lead.

Simon will do what ever John tells him. It’s a realization that probably shouldn’t thrill him the way it does.

John waves him into the alley. “Be quick about it.”

Without comment, Simon hands his half-finished cigarette over and steps into the alley. John contemplates it as Simon does his business. He prefers cigars, but he takes a drag and tells himself it’s just to keep it lit.

But when Simon re-emerges, John doesn’t hand it back. And Simon doesn’t ask.

the best parts of that ehhhh comic was:

1) in a comic produced by DC in 2002, she tells a homophobic bounty hunter that his gay son amd his lover wont be in hell because of who they love before sending HIM to the lowest parts of hell to get tortured for all eternity

12) harley lets a girl be blinded for money in the final few issues. she feels conflicted and bad about it a bit but she still did it which was nice

3) we learnt cass's existence is more unknown than bruce's which is fun to think about

#the writing was either misogynistic or boring but. nice art at times. harley had a pixie cut for awhile too which was cute #i like the second part because i think its fun to remember harley is solidly morally gray #like she'll help but only if she gets something out of it. she cares but shes going to prioritize her own interest more #and the third because batman cass web weaving if youre insane like me #ransom note

So, I was just looking for a Snow White gif set, and I came across quite a few posts expressing displeasure about Rachel Zegler’s flippant attitude to the original Disney film. And while I agree she was being a bit glib, you have to remember, it’s all about playing it up for the camera. Maybe her manager told her to push a love-to-hate-it angle. Who knows. Disney is still trying to work that little bit of feminism that is truly marketable but is ‘safe’ in their standards.

But what irritates me is that those posts immediately delve into the history and animation of the work in the film. As an artist, I totally respect the work and success Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was in 1937. It’s a beautiful piece, to be sure.

And Snow White was kind of modern for the movie’s supposed setting and time period! She has a bob! It’s easily demonstrated and acknowledged by the audience how hard she works, in both the castle and the cottage! She’s a upper class woman who manages to stay chaste despite living with, horror among horrors, seven unmarried men!

But, come on. She was relatively safe, barely pushing the envelope, in 1937. Women were in factories, wearing pants, and were still actively fighting for their rights at the time. All while weathering the Great Depression!

Films like Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman have already done more-feminine-modern takes on the tale. But Zegler isn’t wrong. If the original film’s story, no changes, came out today, it would be disappointing to a lot of feminists. So if you’ve watched the other live action Disney princess films, I’d say don’t knock the Snow White one just yet. It might actually offer something new but nice to more modern feminist audiences.

Just please don’t forget that something can be wonderful in one way and meh in another. The original film was an artistic masterpiece, but wasn’t the be-all end-all of feminism in the 30s. Check out this film, for example.

And hey, this is the webbed site of anxiety. You’ve all probably said things you regret, whether you ‘deserve’ to regret it or not. Don’t forget actors can make mistakes too. They’re human.

#Snow White #trust me I love the already-out there modern live action remake Mirror mirror #but I think you guys are being harsh #Ann Vickers #snow white 2024 #what I liked best about the new little mermaid film was that we still got to see Ariel’s thoughts and passions (without it just being pixie #girl quirky) on land before her wedding to Eric #the expansion of her motivations #and a bunch of other little things that made it different from the original #I wouldn’t have seen it multiple times if it was just a carbon copy #my only complaint was that under the sea should’ve been a chorus song #some animals already sang! #but in any case I loved it #the parts I loved about the other live action Disney princess movies were the things they changed too! (mostly) #I enjoyed Belle actively using her book knowledge to invent #I like Cinderella having that one last conversation with tremaine and still managing to walk away fine and strong #maleficent’s new relationship with aurora was excellent #we got to see jasmine’s internal life richer and better than ever #and for all it’s faults I do appreciate that they tried making Mulan a warrior who didn’t have to hide her womanhood #I do think the Little Mermaid did it best though #so all in all #I think the new Snow White has potential

yes. often. i think diggs Every day of My Life (/neg) (/unfortunate) (/nonpos)

"time for big changes, HUGE changes!!! i want something revolutionary, something drastic!.." they said and switched their hair part

oh hey just found out there’s a limit on how many tags you can put on one post

#I lost half of that au whoops #serves me right #anyway #Gideon hasn't seen Harrow outside of tabloids or new footage for close to seven months #and barely recognizes the girl waiting for her outside her shitty halfway house #the skull paint is gone and replaced by full-coverage 'normal' looking makeup #her hair is still short by styled into a pixie bob to look.... cute?? #she's wearing a cardigan #it's not even black #(this is all Magnus' doing Harrow made none of these choices herself - he's going for a 'poor innocent girl who was victim of a cult') #(Harrow will look very different once a jury is no longer part of the equation) #except for the makeup that was harrow's call she drew the line at having a bare face and they compromised #the offer Harrow has for Gideon is simple: she wants Gideon to testify on her behalf #she'll be eighteen soon and if she wins this case she'll have access to the remainder of her parents' estate #Gideon can then sue the estate for damages and Harrow promises to settle out of court for a good percentage #it's not worth it. she should not get involved in this #except.... #with a bit of money she could go for that apprenticeship and a union carpenter can make $30/hr #and the last time she saw harrow was sitting ramrod straight in the back of a cop car #hands clenched white knuckled in her lap #refusing to acknowledge the tears running silently down her face and streaking her paint #looking like her world had just ended #gideon's caseworkers had refused to answer any questions about harrow and where she was #and now here she is looking Gideon in the eyes and ASKING her #she shouldn't say yes #but she does #Silas tries to flip her of course #first by appealing to her as a victim and then by threatening to charge her as a conspirator if she doesn't turn on Harrow #because that scene made a BIG impression on me and I think it was vital to cementing Gideon's loyalty to Harrow #it is here too

i guess i don’t actually know which came first but i do resent the tales from pixie hollow books for not continuing in the same tone and like. vibe. as gail carson levine’s books on the neverland fairies.

#those books were so pretty and also just. i remember thinking they ruled. #and then every other tale of pixie hollow book is like. the most toothless pointless thing in comparison. #david christiana's art #for the levine books #always kind of reminded me of the cover of my dad's copy of grimm's fairy tales #which is maybe part of why i liked it. #but i also think it was like. dreamy. in a way that really fit the tone and world that levine was building #as opposed to the much more straightforward disney style of the other books. #w.me #i haven't read any of these books in an EXTREMELY long time but yknow.

Ngl I kinda wanna get the Obi-Wan mullet

#I am so serious rn #I want layers and a decent short hairstyle that isn't super duper masculine or a pixie cut #but I cannot middle part my hair it looks AWFUL on me #and so I don't think stuff like a butterfly or wolf cut would look good on me #I just-- #I refuse to style my hair- I look awful with a middle part- and I just keep my hair up half the time anyways #so the only two haircuts I really like (butterfly & wolf) wouldn't work to well #HOWEVER #a mullet.... #if I did it true obiwan style #the top would be pushed back- there would be no part #(which does look fine on me) #I would still be able to keep it out of my face a satisfactory amount #and I could tie up the back #i see this as an absolute win #the only problem would be #I don't think I could ever look anyone in the eye in a professional setting knowing I have that haircut lol

little motel by modest mouse has only been played live 44 times. it was first played in 2007 and most recently played in 2008. this fact kills me a little inside

#to add to this #march into the sea and steam engenius have never been played live #we were dead deserves so much better #i need to hear these songs live in my lifetime #also paper thin walls is like their 2nd most played song and i haven't heard it after four shows wtff #edit the sad parts made its live debut on the TLCW tour iirc and they didn't play it at my show sad times #also i was outside in line and heard them playing broke and interstate 8 for soundcheck both of which i DESPERATELY need to hear live #but for the actual encore they played Baby Blue Sedan & All Nite Diner which r both good but i don't love them nearly as much as broke & i8 #mm are one of my 2 fav bands but their songs range from 'absolutely perfection' to 'meh' so i haven't heard many of my faves yet #i have a lot of opinions about them obviously #i didn't see em recently or anything but im tryna go to jersey to see em w pixies but if they play closer to me i'll def do that instead #modest mouse #music talk #rambling

It’s weird realizing that for the first time in years i have the energy and inspiration to have multiple art pieces planned? Like i actually have a loose schedule in my mind. And the last time i had something even remotely like that was was probably the lead up to Halloween 2018. I’m just legitimately excited to create again. Even if most of it is because i have Gojo brain rot. I’ll absolutely take it.

As of right now the very loose schedule i have in mind for the summer so far

Suguru Geto screencap redraw

Art for @heavenlyevil ‘s summer of pleasure event. It’s gojo because of course it is

Courtesan Gojo based off of @shibaraki ‘s fic The White Rabbit (i highly recommend checking it out! )

And i just know I’ll probably draw more jujutsu kaisen art once the new season is underway.

Now knowing my drawing pace this probably covers a fair amount of the summer so we shall see!

But i know that a good part of this inspiration is the positive feedback and the nice people i’ve met since getting back on tumblr. A huge thanks goes out to my moots and everyone i’ve had nice interactions on here with the last couple months. I’m glad I decided to finally give tumblr another shot

(For anyone who wants to find my art more easily just search rossi art on my blog)

#the pixie speaks #i’d quit tumblr a couple years ago because my blog was a victim of the purge that happened when they cracked down on ns/fw #worst part was my artblog at the time was entirely sfw but i still couldnt get my blog back #i lost a lot of work #i still have all the physical copies but i lost the small audience i had built
