I truly believe Will Wood is an incredible musician and songwriter and is one of the top lyricists in the last decade both in and outside of the genres that he chooses to play in with absolutely zero irony. I also believe that you can only fully understand that if you’ve either had a pet die before listening to his music or you have a history of drug abuse and mental health crises. Or you’re trans.

#this may sound like a snooty post where I’m just upholding my own favorite music as the best #but honestly it’s in response to a lot of fans I’ve seen be really self critical? #like yeah haha I listen to bad music #and I also have been known to joke about my own weird taste #but here’s the thing! from a technical level! his music! goes hard! it is experimental and that is GOOD #and lyrically listen I listen to a lot of music #I’m even familiar with top forty stuff and while yes the content of his songs is very niche #the lyricism is so genuinely clever and playful and ugh god #ok anyway. sorry #listened to Will wood again #and also this post is about the fact that I first I didn’t get it. #and then I went to a really low point. and suddenly I got it #ok it cracked me open like a fucking egg #music #text #personal #kinda

"Non paeniteo potitus."

+ details & process

And, process !!

The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️

What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:

I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!

There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

#TL: 'I don't apologize for winning' 🤭🤭🤭 #^ was gonna find some old latin quote to put but was like. oh yeah of course !!! #noy sure if its entirely correct. kinda wanted to email my hs latin teacher to ask but i finished this too late at night #anyways please dont let this flop SKDKLGLVLV #im really proud of it okah 😭😭😭 it was actually so much fun and enjoyable and nice etc dtc #i questioned to myself earlier abt why my chibi art always gets more notes than my detailed art #and i realized. like unless youve been following the lore of my blog. this isnt even recognizable as f1 fanart SJFKLVLV #but thats okay because its my niche brainrot au and i will do what i want >:) #the hair and the relics are def my proudest part of this #i mentioned before but i have trouble yknow translating irl stuff or complicated stuff into drawing #but all of this came really smoothly to me in a very unexpected way #god his hair is just sooooo its ssoooooooo!!!!!!!!! i wanna pet him 🥹 #but i think it def helped that i kept posting the process on my close friends #and my two irl friends(as well as some friends on here! ty!!) encouraged me a lot abt it so :D #but anyways yep pls take my brainrot art 🙏🙏 it took me 13+ hours in the span of like 3 days basically #f1 #formula 1 #sebastian vettel #catie.art. #boy king au

"Being woven by looms is what makes us Time Lords" is stupid. Almost every species used to be able to fuck. Time Lords are the only species to make eight year olds stare into the Untempered Schism (it only drives a few kids to madness, but maybe they were predisposed to madness?). Big hats and robes also

sometimes i write kotoko to cope with my perpetual anger at the world/system i live under which is rly funny in concept every time i think about it. girl who was like 5 inches away from realising the problems with the justice system was the entire rest of the system as a whole and then immediately was thrown headfirst into an innocent verdict that completely fucked her up even worse. girl whose beliefs clash against each others so harshly (black and white view of "good" and "evil", the "weak" and the "strong") vs

like. god "we" really did that to her huh. she really did believe that it was possible some of the prisoners were wrongly accused. she saw how bad the justice system is. and then "we" spun it around in a complete 180 because "we" failed to look deeper at her and affirmed the worst parts of her instead.

her beliefs were not "its fine to do whatever to people who have done something wrong"!!! that was not her fucking beliefs!! IN FACT SHE SEEMED TO ACTIVELY BE A BIT AGAINST THAT IDEAL IN TASK. "WE" DID THAT. THOSE WERE THE "BELIEFS" OF THOSE WHO VOTED HER INNOCENT IN T1 WITHOUT LOOKING DEEPER AT HER. "WE" TAUGHT HER THAT HUH...DONT WORRY GIRL ILL REMEMBER YOUR BELIEFS I PROMISE. ILL WRITE UR ANGER/FRUSTRATION AT THE GENUINE "UNFAIRNESS" OF THE WORLD VS HOW YOU STILL HOLD SUCH BLACK AND WHITE OR "CHILDISH" VIEWS. FOREVER. ITS IMPORTANT 2 ME.

#i also think about how her focus on crime was always on those that endangered women or children. like huh. what a very specific niche! #did something happen kotoko? to inspire you to focus on that specifically? strange! #little guy posting #im just saying thoughts here. none of them that coherent or rly put together. but i just AAUUUUGGGHHH #perhaps a bit inspired by my frustration at people who claim shes a fascist. maybe. moment of weakness. #'nd also just my frustration at the world as stated previous. kotoko i love u i wish i could put my thoughts about u in more- #-coherent analysis posts that talk about your nuance in beliefs

Mark Alan, Count of Queanbeyan

+ explanation & lore

Okay first I'll explain the drawing itself, and then go into Mark's lore a bit, so stay with me!!!

First of all, yep. Mark with long hair. When I first conceptualized how he'd look in this au, I just genuinely could not imagine him with the typical long curly wig. And that irked me, bcs its just sooooooo historically inaccurate for him to have had short hair, no wig. I sketched him and Jense out as chibis, I drew Mark with short hair, and literally wrote "haha wow he looks so bad with long hair!!" Hello, can I take back that statement? It's actually shocking how good he looks???? Maybe it's a testament to my skill that I could make this work. But I did! And man, shameful to admit, but this might be my best portrait ever 😭😭 Funny tho, guy I've barely drawn, and never as detailed as this, ends up being one of my favs. Mark, you bastard!!

^ lmao as you can see, I tried out a more Seb type wig and then realized ahhhhh nah, he needs a different style. And it worked so, yay!!! I've thought a lot recently, "man it would suck back then if you looked shitty in a wig" and I rescind that. I'm telling you, you think a man would look bad in a wig? I say think again, you're just not conceptualizing the right type of wig for him.

Also wow, its crazy thst I can finally actually visually see what he would look like next to others like Seb and Fernando in this au. Hehehe look at them!!! The boys!!!! Just need Jense :,)

Anyways, I digress, some lore notes about Mark since I don't think I've really talked about him in this au on main much.

He is, of course, Seb's closest servant. His Groom of the Bedchamber(yes that term makes me feel rabid.) He's actually also based on a real guy, whom was described as the Emperor's "favorite" and despite not technically having very important positions, he had a lot of influence because of his closeness and connection with the Emperor. So, yeah, I think that's gives a pretty good pic of Mark in this au :)

He's actually pretty satisfied with his role, but he does feel a bitter and jealous when interacting with others like Jenson and Fernando. Because Mark doesn't have a title, well not in the same way. He's a count, not a King, not a Prince. Yes he's nobility, but not in the same way. And he's satisfied being under Seb, because that's what Mark was raised to do, take care of and keep Seb in line. But often realizes he's never going to be on par with him, not in the same way Fernando can, even if he's Seb's closest confidant.

To build on that. He's very satisfied with his role, and even continues to be satisfied when Fernando comes into the picture. Fernando and Seb don't get along, Mark is always going to be the closest to Seb, always going to know him the best, take care of him the best. But he realizes, he would never get to marry Seb, he's not ranked high enough for that. He was raised to do what's best for the Emperor, he's never going to be able to compete with Seb the same way Fernando can. He really wants Seb and Fernando to succeed! To grow closer! But it still really hurts sometimes.

His closest friend, other than Seb, is Jenson of course(and eventually Fernando, after they stop growling at each other like they're Seb's dogs.) But he does get bitter about Jenson sometimes. Jenson is a prince, who had some great performances in battle. But eventually got tired of that lifestyle, and "retired" to being part of Seb's court. Mark can't really understand that. How do you throw that level of prestige and freedom away. How do you just become the Emperor's servant, when that was never what you were born for. But also, I think Jense definitely uplifts him, they just get along so well, and Jense truly cares for him, no other motives :)

LOL sorry I realize how depressing this sounds 😭 I think all of the above is just Mark at his most bitter, but he's genuinely pretty happy. Think of the whole "not bad for a number 2 driver thing", that's him in this AU. He knows his station, and god damn it, he's gonna be the best, most loyal groom there ever was!! He just cares for Seb so deeply, and it truly is his life path to serve him. Seb cares for him too, feels like he can always rely on him and always be reassured by him and his eternal presence in Seb's life. It's nice to have someone you can always fall back on. Sometimes literally. Yes he makes Mark carry him to bed.

Not to stray away from just Mark, but aaaaahhh the Martian in this AU. Just Mark having to put up with Seb's brattiness all the time, and care for him all the time :) He's so tired of catching Seb naked tho...Seb please put clothes on, this is not befitting of your station. Seb takes Mark with him everywhere, and they share the same bed on trips. Mark is always the first Seb goes to to ask his opinion. I said earlier that Mark feels like he cannot challenge Seb in the same way Fernando can, but Seb really wants him to honestly! He loves hearing Mark's thoughts and opinions. Mark is widely known as Seb's favorite, and is often seen as the second authority in the palace and in the court.

As for Webbonso? I think they really dislike each other in the beginning just because the roles that they're in. They both feel like they're pitted against each other, and ir doesn't help that Seb loves to tease them and often favor one in front of the other(he later realizes how shitty this is, and tries to rectify it, because he never intended to make them actually jealous, he just loves being bratty.) Eventually they realize they're in extremely similar situations(both beholden to and stuck eternally with the Emperor), and find comfort in each other in that.

Yep that's right...the palace is honestly one big polycule djkfkglg. But I hope thay explains Mark in this AU well enougg???? All you need to know: Seb's long-suffering servant.

Don't take this the wrong way but you seem too well-adjusted to be here. Boyfriend, hobbies outside the internet, educated, employed... This place not for you, you gotta be more fucked up to be on this place Tumblr will just make things worse...

A few years ago, I learned not to take anything on this app seriously, and now it’s pretty much a place I can go be weird on the internet. But honestly, it’s my mutuals keeping me here really. Most of them have known me since I was a teenager.

#shoutout to those of you who watched go from posting marvel fandom stuff to idk wanting to peg Jayson Tatum- I am truly sorry. #all jokes aside- this is really feeling like my last and final run here. The fun is gone #I am very very weird in real life but also cool about it #like I mod cars and go to car meets and hunt for 20 year old niche manga and skateboard and have plants named after the power rangers #also why argue and fuss and get mad on the internet when I can do that for work and get paid #thank you for the compliments btw 👉🏽👈🏽

Sleepy brain has decided on AU where Sophie and Howl switch places. Sophie is a grumpy castle wizard, and Howl is some kind of heartbreaker vagabond who just shows up sometimes, and they kind of can't stand each other but also respect each other's strengths and fall in love, you know how it is, but instead of Sophie and Howl it's Strahd and Alek.
