So he said, "Would it be all right If we just sat and talked for a little while If in exchange for your time I give you this smile?"

Elwyn and Alistair get to live their days blissfully unaware of and far away from politics and royalty. Inquisition? I hardly know her! Outside world DNI.

I have spent almost 9 hours on this piece and I will not be going back to fix shit, we are live laugh loving our way onto another WIP 😤

#my art #the flower that bloomed nowhere #utsushikome of fusai #ran of hoa-trinh #kamrusepa of tuon #disco elysium #okay actually i‘m gonna ramble a bit abt in the tags #the orange circle behind ran is obv a reference to kim‘s white halo #but while kim‘s is supposed to represent a sunrise ran‘s is supposed to be the evening sun #bcs kim is meant to be a savior and a new beginning to harry and the player #meanwhile ran is the opposite! #su wants her to judge her she wants to be told that she’s unforgivable #kim is the light meanwhile ran is a weight constantly pulling su back under or smth #also funny that kim is seen as a fantasy for suicidal people #meanwhile ran‘s reaction to su‘s whole thing is to tell her to die #perfect. 10/10. god they make me insane

¹reference to an important amis/pangcah cultural symbol, visible in the cover art in the center of the soldier's hat. i could not find the actual word for it in amis and, interestingly, it only appears in the japanese sections of the song. will edit the post if i find it T-T

this song is the story lead singer (and lyricist on this song) Natsuko once heard from her father about her grandfather's experience as an amis volunteer soldier during the final days of WWII. full translation of the portion of the interview that talks about this particular song in very great depth here. brief excerpt for basic contexts:

In 1945, the US military began bombing Taiwan, and Japan was on the verge of facing the reality of their imminent loss. A group of young Amis men were at the Takasago volunteer military camp in Taichung, witnessing the chaos firsthand and fearing deployment under such circumstances. They resolved not to fight any more on another nation’s behalf, and a number of them decided to desert and return to Taitung on foot. Natsuko’s grandfather was among them.

#completely random posting but i was talking to smrithi abt this song and realized it would actually be super short to tl . #and if i was doing it i may as well post it . #the way that this song makes me cry fr truly so beautiful...... bridge gives me chills eeeevery time #info about the song's content under the read more. #and link to wayyyyyyy more info about it lol #> this is based on the official mandarin version posted by the artist and since that is her native language and she like. wrote the song. #i trust it to be accurate to the intended meaning kajhdf #but i speak neither of the languages it is actually in . #so. sorry to any japanese speakers who may see this. #also. this ones a more obv translation note but. #bears mentioning that i think it is appropriate to read rising sun imagery throughout #as both reference to all of the day/night imagery & the symbol of imperial japan. #well. kyokujitsu/旭日 is like. the actual word 4 the rising sun symbol so in that part imperial army is the primary definition being used but #i think even in the other parts it is fair game. #tls

I was at my peak when i would go to the local book store, browse through the books, read their backs and buy the one that appealed the most to me only to years later discover what significance they have for literature

#the boy in the striped pyjamas - how to kill a mockingbird - station eleven - and the mountains echoed #all of them bangers all of them (except the first one) picked up by teenage me from the book store and read in german #i mean ok obviously it's no coincidence they were selling best sellers obv i'm not big brain smart for picking them #but it was cool none the less to discover what significance those books had later on #after only picking them up bc the back side summary appealed to me. not knowing anything else about those titles #for instance station eleven gained prominense (again) in 2020/21 during the pandemic and i was like oh cool i read it idk 4 years ago #or when how to kill a mockingbird was being talked about bc (a) us (state) wanted to ban in as school lecture #when i was thinking oh i read this years ago i didnt know it was an important book in america #or when i liked and the mountains echoed so much that i got a thousand splendid suns & my german teacher told me she had liked the book #when i was thinking omg i read it as well and liked it!!!! #idk these were all things that made me feel really nice i look back at them fondly #nesi rants

printed this for my bestie's bday!! (she's the number 1 huen stan since like... 2018 or something idk how she stuck with it so long but man do i appreciate it, been listening to me ramble out my babies for 5 years and counting)

#tendebill ocs #tendebill art #digital art #art #card design #design #i am so proud of this #printing out 4 copies for myself my bestie and my husband + one as backup #but its dedicated to my bestie obv #also that eye/sun thingy might end up being huens actual tattoo design unless i change my mind and redesign it again #yea she has a tattoo on the back of her neck and it symbolizes that shes in fact a drainer mage uwu #regular healer mages have just a sun-shaped tattoo #but only the ones from like monestaries and shit #also there isnt just one design all across the world #the general shape is always the same but the deets and shit vary between monestaries and individuals #sun and sun/eye design thats it

[seekerstone]

can't stop thinking about fran fine sun. look at her

she has got that shit ON

#she's actually so tomboy jock i know she uh (tries to remember college lingo) shotguns... beer? #in superhero4 she gets dragged to a frat party in her boring ass work uniform and hates it obvs #but now i want to rewrite the scene to be a sorority party and she's inexplicably wearing this. she's just killing it so hard #sun tag #the moon speaks #quart

XU DA TRANS ALLY

#obv her identity isn’t that but that’s not the point he’s just CHILL #she who became the sun

last satuday there was a bird hanging out on my window for like an hour and now today (saturday) theres TWO birds (she brought a friend) but now i have to wonder do birds know the days of the week ???

#99.txt #its not like i only sit here on saturdays... i have a weird schedule #but only saturday so far... the bird sits with me #i mean obv they know the time of year because of the sun and stuff #but days of the week are 100% made up by humans so #i guess since theyre in an urban area they might be THAT familiar with human behavioral patterns ? #that they know more ppl will be around at home on saturday or something ? #more ppl cooking and bbqing they eat the scraps AND ppl do yard work and give them access to the woims #maybe #also as im writing this the 2nd bird flew away so now its just me and my buddy #presumably the same bird from last week #oh god she just turned to look at me she knows im gossiping

really curious to know if there was a reasoning behind the way taylor chose the eras order for the tour

#like i understand lover being first #because it was the last album she had planned to tour #and always said she pictured singing those songs as the sun was setting #but it’s so chaotic after that #i want to know how she picked which would go when #and obvs midnights closing makes sense since it was the most recent album

Me, meeting Ken for the first time: oh he's voiced by Megumi Ogata ... well... that's probably a character arc spoiler

Me, in the October cutscene: ha. this game is too obvious (sobbing)

#persona 3 reload #spoilers #well only vaguely but just to be sure #lmao when i met him i was like #i wonder why they it's megumi ogata #i know she's the goat but i wouldn't have imagined that seeing ken's design #then i remembered the evangelion-ass train scene in the op #and i was like #ok i can guess the character arc #obvs it won't be exactly that but it's gonna be some angst alright #lmao then we got the aragaki and amada backstory and i was like #i so called this #these games are so obvious is anything ever subtle #still gotta love it #lmao me in the lead up to october like #these guys better not die i have heavily invested in you both #man im so glad i decided against getting aragaki his op hammer #im also mad i had to skip seeing my bestie sun for this #nobody using healing spells?? ok ???? #EDIT : OH THE PRINCIPAL CAN GO FUCK RIGHT OFF
