#thunder in the distance

[tomathi]

yo I am so hype for the next time someone asks what I do and I get to tell them I'm a GARDENER

#manual labor is holy #it did a carolina summer shower today while we were pruning #and the whole crew just had this unspoken understanding that #of course we will keep working and just soak it in #mac miller 2009 was playing from my phone in my pocket #my boss just got us all new soil knives and the sunlight glinted off the symbols carved in the blade as i lovingly trimmed this baptisia #my hands were sticky with sap and mud #thunder in the distance #hair soft and wet #baptisia seed pods made a lovely little clunk as i tossed them into my plastic bucket #a moment to keep

#started this for portrait practice but it turned out so good im obsessed #part of my efforts to draw him more inhuman #obviously claws teeth ears but also #i think maybe when he is being calamitous he should drip blood. #how sick would it be if he left bloody footprints and that was a sign he’s getting pissed #or maybe you start hearing thunder in the distance #so i guess this is not technically vampire hua cheng this is just my headcanon #interpret this however you want the author is not dead just ambivalent #tgcf #hua cheng #mxtx #tian guan ci fu #hob #heaven official’s blessing #crimson rain sought flower #hualian #tgcf fanart #天官赐福 #花城 #血雨探花 #art #digital art #my art #vampires

Hear me out guys, the main bad guy won’t be Dink or Ganon.

It’s the mailman.

#The true villain in this story #The boys are gonna defeat Dink and be all happy like ‘we did it! its over!’ #AND THEN- #Cue the boss music and a giant healthbar at the top that says: #The Harbinger of News: The Mailman #‘The mail must flow!’ *thunder booms in the distance* #linked universe #linked universe spoilers #(this is such a stupid theory i cant-)

Gamzee: Oh shit.

First thing you realize when you start to drift back to your body real slow, is the air's all sparking around you and your feet aren't touching the ground. So that seems real motherfucking foreboding. Second thing is the Second Coming is yelling and snarling like a fucking ripsaw, which seems even worse.

Third of all, the guy he's yelling at--

...This seems bad.

"Karkat," says the emperor, and you don't know what he's talking about until it makes the Second Coming cut off his growling. "We've talked about letting your temper get ahead of you, wriggler."

"Don't play that fucking game with me," says the Second Coming, who you guess is called Karkat, so that's a hell of a motherfucking thing to know. You never heard him called by name before. "You vanished this guy out of his hive and locked him up in your quadrant consortium like some kind of horny bad-touch highblood from a bodice-ripper!"

"That was not the situation," says the emperor, high-horned and bristling, still not growling even though it couldn't be clearer he wants to real bad. "He needed to be somewhere safe and--emotionally stable, and there's nowhere more secure or more peaceful than the conciliatrium. I never touched him--"

"No, yeah, great, except you didn't tell him any of this shit!" Karkat says, and lowers his short little nubby horns like he's about ready to ram the emperor off his chair. "So you're still the badtouch warlord except then you fucked off and let him sit there waiting for the badtouch part! For sweeps!"

"He--" says the emperor, and cuts himself off, folds his hands up in front of his mouth for a second, and then says, "...It would have been...dangerous, for him to be near me. Dangerous for both of us."

"Uh-huh," says the Second Coming. "Shit, you're such an asshole, I can't fucking believe we share genes. I hear nothing all night every night except your fucking sermons about equality and individual dignity and whatever the fuck, and then every time I turn around you've got a new reason why you had no choice except pulling some absolute bullshit! His fronds were tied, everybody! No choice! Fuck you."

"My sermons are from when I was a 15-sweep community organizer," says His Triumphant Ascendance, and rubs one of his horns like he's trying real hard not to yell back. "It's good to be goal-oriented, but practicality-- Are you going to stop growling at me at some point? For fuck's sake. I'm not engaging with this if it's going to be a screaming match."

"Engage with my fucking nook, you sanctimonious piece of shit!"

Somebody snorts. There's a skinny motherfucker leaned up in the corner with a frond out toward you, not paying a whole lot of attention; he's sparking the same colors as the light that's crawling all over you. The emperor looks at him too, and frowns.

"...Sollux," he says, "This is a personal affair. You can go."

"Yeah?" says the skinny motherfucker. "I mean, your buddy over here woke up a hot second ago, but I can put him down if you want."

Everybody all turns around and looks at you. Two burning red stares, two sets of blunt, lowered horns like you're the one who came here to pick a fight-- All of a sudden you're freezing cold, and hot and sweating, and shaking like a motherfucker, and your jaw cramps how hard you have to work not to snarl.

"Shit," says Karkat, and then the psionic drops you on your feet and the sparks vanish, and you're loose.

Gamzee: NO TIME TO THINK, JUST--

==> FIGHT! ==> FLIGHT!

#CYOA: Imperial Favor #I thought about including Fawn and Freeze as options which would have been fun but.... it does feel punchier this way.... #several people said very nice things and all of a sudden I remember how to draw haha #I am holding up my right hand with thunder crashing in the distance. IT'S..........ALIVE........

mmmmm thunder bad

#everything about storms is so nice except for fucking thunder. why do i have to have thunder issues #it only knocked our power out for a minute (and that lightning definitely looked/sounded EXTREMELY close yeesh) #poor billy got a bit startled but he settled down reasonably fast given how loud it was #ok i think taking a minute to stop and write this has helped distract me. shouldn’t need my anxiety meds #might take my heart meds tho idk. probably good to be safe and make sure i’m chill #actually the thing that’s helped me calm down is very obviously that the thunder has stopped #rumbles in the distance don’t bother me. sheet lighting is fine #oh there was just another flash never mind hhhhh it’s picking up again #personal

[girlpetrarca]

I love failed patricides

#believe it or not this is (also) about Dante and Petrarca #something about the ghost of the father that keeps hunting you #you want him dead because he steals your thunder and you'll never be as famous or as great as him #and yet you still can't kill him because you need him #I just think that the relationship between Dante and Petrarca (one-sided because they met when Petrarca was what.. seven years old?) #is so fascinating #one one hand look at him distancing himself as much as possible from the man who'll later be considered thee father of the Italian language #(I love how he literally said he hadn't read the Commedia.. really Francesco? really?) #on the other hand he just can't because no one can escape from Dante anymore #(it makes me think of a poem I read in the context of the Scapigliatura #where you could find the need to 'kill' Manzoni because his authority was suffocating) #anyway yeah.. pretty cool methinks #personal #francesco petrarca

#steve's favorite thing in the world is #open window bed-lounging while there's a storm #and the smell of the rain wafting in with every gust of wind #and he and his partner are both naked under thin sheets #and he's dragging his fingertips along their back and smiling at them #struggling to stay awake in the quiet thunder rumbling in the distance #their tired slow blinking staring at him back #no words needed just... #affection pure and simple

[demonicintegrity]

Laying down in park for an hour actually does wonders for being restless

#would recommend a blanket purely because I Feel Bugs Sometimes #but other than that? very soothing and recharging #esp with the sound of thunder in the distance #rambles

[weyrleaders]

ive never been into the whole minecraft smp but with storylines thing because it’s really hard for me to take it seriously but after watching grian’s secret life finale i at least Understand now

#looking at that with a narrative lens…. etho falling and grian and cleo being unable to help him without risking death too #and having to just watch him run away and die alone in the distance #after grian and cleo set up at the portal and grian fought 1v2 until the thunder hit #and then it’s 1v3 and you know cleo had died….. damn

[bahrmp3]

.first heavy rain of the season it's unexpected! I thought tomorrow was a 24% of rain!

#personal #suddenly its all wooosh rain and now thunder off the distance with lightning to follow wow

[ferdydurke]

#barking #wasnt a very long walk bc kodi got scared of the thunder in the distance 😭 my dog hates ambiance

[thedeviousdevilxx]

After we had supper, my friends and I got some super yummy ice cream at this cute little Italian themed ice cream parlour. I got a strawberry lemonade vanilla ice cream in a chocolate cone😍

#tis I Devious 😈 #also we walked along the river and had a great evening while dark storm clouds hovered in the distance #which have came back and we got lighting and thunder again !!!

[hzdtrees]

Dust clouds

#horizon forbidden west #hfw #hfw photomode #some orange to contrast all the blue #from all the desert-y areas this one is still the one i have the most pics of #still haven't figured out the dunes #the first pic was a stroke of luck #accidentally had ended up in the rebel camp #because i went exploring at the back and ended up right on top of the command centre #somehow managed three stealth kills in a row despite it being a busy place #and one of those was the leader #then went back outside through the front door so i would eventually be able to use the campfire #only to be met with the mounted guards there #and once i had those handled #which included chasing down a charger that had opted to keep its distance #but messing with the soundtrack because the game still regarded it as in combat #a bunch of electrokangaroos and two longlegs had taken over the place #so what i got was a frantic fight in a sandstorm #thunder overhead #and continuously thinking i had to get that fight done so i could see if i couldn't get a storm pic #i am. VERY. bad at fighting electrokangaroos

[cowardlycowboys]

got dark fast

#omg kiera no one cares #PLEASE DON'T STORM I CAN HEAR THE THUNDER IN THE DISTANCE AND I'M ASKING YOU TO PLEASE NOT

This was a huge project. The original; Dunroth's Folley, had a lot of detail. Changing the entire level to be a boat level was a lot of work.

This is easily the best lookimg water I've made though. Proud of it.

I recording this while using the custom car made specifically for boat levels! The car is flipped upside-down since boat levels require gripflight. It's a reference to Hydro Thunder as well!

I wonder if mer!Eclipse would enjoy rain showers. Just picturing him and fisher!Y/N sitting atop the waves during mild rainfall, and Y/N sticks out their tongue to catch the rain, so after a moment of watching them, Eclipse mirrors his weird little human and does the same because he thinks they’re being cute, even if they’re a little quirky ♥️

#still thinking about #in deep dreams between the waves #it’s raining here with thunder rumbling in the distance and it’s so relaxing #arguably the best weather for writing <3 #lumilite
