YOOOOOOOO the fact that nimona’s voice as a demon baby is the same voice actress as gloreth’s in the flashback. yes the logistical explanation is it’s cheaper to have one young voice, but the sexier in-narrative explanation is that anytime nimona ever portrays a young child (other than themselves) it’s in the voice of the first and only friend they ever had. until Bal.

#when nim asked bal 'not a lot of children in your life huh?' it was a canonball being chucked from a glass palace #nimona #nimona spoilers #nimona meta #owl post

“glorification of an imagined unified Western Traditional Culture as the single objective best culture is a fascist red flag” and “a lot of modern vernacular architecture is boring, actively harmful to the mental health of people who live around it, destroying older buildings that had more personality, and shoddily built + as bland as possible for the ever profit-focused needs of capitalism” are concepts that can coexist

like. yes, be wary of Roman Statue Profile Pics decrying “modernity” on Twitter, but the idea that IKEAfying the world is somehow Progressive and if you don’t like it you MUST be far-right is just. bizarre

#architecture #history #also these styles destroy non-western traditional architecture too. you know that right? #a blocky glass tower doesn't look like a Japanese house or pueblo or a crenellated Ethiopian palace #if someone were to build a Mughal architecture-inspired apartment building here in Boston I'd be like 'AMAZING' #ANY architecture with personality is the opposite of Capitalist Hellscape Chic #I just often use Victorian and Georgian buildings as examples because. that's what's around me and what my background is in

“Atop the hill, Celaena stared at the crowning achievement of Adarlan. The glass castle of Rifthold. It was gargantuan, a vertical city of shimmering, crystalline towers and bridges, chambers and turrets, domed ballrooms and long, endless hallways. It had been built above the original stone castle, and cost a kingdom’s wealth to construct.”

This is one of 12 landscapes I illustrated for the Wanderlust Window collectibles included in The Bookish Box monthly YA boxes this year! It's the Glass Palace from 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J. Maas... a place that's pretty on the outside, but not one I would call home, if you know what I mean! But I still find this castle fascinating and I had so much fun painting it!

"López explains that his biggest challenge was condensing the storytelling into a two-hour movie. 'Book time and movie time are very different things,' he notes. 'Casey had 500 pages or thereabouts, and I had two hours. The audiobook is 12 hours and 15 minutes, and my movie is two hours. Logically speaking, there's 10 hours and 15 minutes that's cut. My hope is that people love the book and the movie in similar and in different ways.'"

#rwrb #rwrb movie #nicholas galitzine #taylor zakhar perez #red white and royal blue #rwrb spoilers #firstprince #i love them so much #despite the changes i do love the rwrb movie #it captured the magic of the book and the larger than life love between alex and henry #and that's what matters #and it was beautifully shot and acted #and it made me laugh and cry more than once #the scene where they step out on the balcony of buckingham palace hand in hand was beautiful and had me in tears #i do wish we'd gotten “I fucking love you okay?” and “Sería una mentira porque no sería él” #and that we'd gotten a cornettos scene with henry in pajamas and alex in glasses #but given the portrayals in the movie i agree with the narrative choice to leave them out #and the movie portrayed those feelings even without those lines and I'm so happy to see this beautiful and healthy relationship on screen

so back in january (i think) I did a quick sketch of the Haven (underground fairy place/village thing) but i never finished it then and it sat in my folders for awhile but i can proudly say that it’s don now and I am astounded with the results D::

The haven is pretty much what it sounds like, it’s a safe haven for faeries and other elf-type folk. The Haven is both castle and village

there are settlements outside the haven however they are small

parts of the haven were built by the fae while other sections are natural occurring caverns
