how to handle a heatwave

#yotsuba #yotsuba koiwai #asagi ayase #fuuka ayase #art attag #comics #she's different literally every time I draw her lol I'm so indecisive #also I was happy with the palette (and still am!) but colours get so washed out and blue on phones #so I've been meddling with the colours for Ages trying to keep it warm (it was originally a bit more saturated too #but again phone quality made it so pale grr biting and scratching mobile brightness making art bad)

Pov you meet two weird alchemists in cursed dungeons

#Nosramus: don't worry he doesn't bite :3 *takes out a muzzle as he says that*#Fear and hunger #Funger 1 #Enkiramus #Anki Ankarian #Nosramus #Funger bpt #Enki's hair is canonically darker but let's assume he washed it or something #Also I stared at the character art for a bit and I've come to the conclusion that Nosramus' eyes are either dark grey or brown and #Enki's are light gray or blue. Hard to tell with the game's rich and vibrant color palette

Whether it was a deliberate effect or not, the green of Argo's padded jacket and the dun brown of his armor blurred his silhouette. If it was not for the flash of almost white hair and his pale skin, he'd completely dissapear in the dimly lit forest. Without the characteristic white insignia, nothing indentified him as a Wanderer - at least not at first glance. It was his choice. After all, this temporary arrangement put him under a different jurisdiction.

Second from the bunch! I don't think I've tried this specific lighting before, but I'm very content with how it came out.

#Isaldi #Argo Riss'Aerle #OC #there you go - Argo in his natural environment #the only thing that would make him feel even more at home would be if he was on horseback #(a little too dense forest for this lol)#he's exactly as much of an obnoxious horse girl as Igna #comes with being a starbound rider I guess #I wondered if I should give him a more lively blue for an eye color #(technicolor eyes seem to be an elven trait)#But I think that this washed-out color palette fits him better #anyway good to finally have a proper updated portrait of him

Honestly PK’s relationship with the void is actually kind of interesting when you consider Radiance’s implicit center-of-worship/base of operations was on top of a mountain as far away from it as possible, she calls the void her Ancient Enemy and greets it with the implicit assumption none of the vessels are individuals or even pawns of the wyrm nearly as much as they are pawns of said enemy which has been trying to destroy her all along.

PK, conversely, seems profoundly and personally obsessed with the stuff, possibly even to personal detriment. I’m reminded somewhat of the fate of Marie Curie whose fascination with radium led to great insights, but also left her massively overexposed to it.

He built his palace as close to the abyss as you’d get; his honor guard as well as some flying novelties (?) or service drones that propagate throughout his castle are effectively just great volumes of void wandering around. That the Abyss itself contains a great lighthouse that was personally attended by a royal retainer as well as a small personal office overlooking the great abyssal shore adds almost a quieter note of personal tragedy to the far greater horror that went on down there- that even to PK’s flawed worldview, the Abyss was not a place of great dishonor before he enacted the vessel project there. He liked it; he wanted other people to come down there and see it. In one of his writings he calls it “power opposed” but specifically in the context that he was sure he could get some pants on this thing somehow and put it in society.

PK is... thoughtlessly callous in many ways and one of the big ways is this belief of a civilizing force, that for him, the nicest possible thing he thinks he can do for anyone seems to be fitting them into a perfect, tailored box where they do exactly the work that is good for them and good for everyone forever. There’s a reason that Hollow is subtextually the Favored Heir, the inheritor of the kingdom to whom PK literally left all of Hallownest when you look at the message attached to the Worldsense bench- and they were literally a martyr being sent to spend the rest of their life chained inside of a seal as a sacrifice. A King without a throne or a crown or any political sway. And that up to a point, PK convinced himself this was not only the right and proper thing, but that he himself was... breathtakingly unprepared to grieve Hollow. Like it did not occur to him this might actually be a bad thing even when previous steps of it had horrified him even.

So I think it means a lot that PK has this notion of civilizing the Void. That it could belong in his big divine order that everything fits in. It’s foolish, and, from the POV the game takes- that of his own voidborn children- it’s immensely cruel, that Hollow who was offered A Place and A Meaning was no happier than others, and we see the Collector who also seems to have been born and shaped to PK’s design only to be reshaped by someone else’s- the noble who Kept them in the Tower of Love- resulting in a being that has deeply warped ideas about safety and protection and what it means to love someone else.

Like as the inspiring post said, PK absolutely has no illusions about the void’s ability and willingness to destroy him. But his fascination with it- before his other issues get involved- is almost one of the most ‘innocent’ things in his personality.

#Hollow Knight #Pale King #this is honestly why I tend to read him as having a lunar motif #to contrast Radiance and NKG's solar motifs #while the moon is luminous and star-like to our sensibilities it is also heavily associated with the dark of night #PK's silver light ingame is always part of a starkly monochrome palette that uses heavy blacks #rather than Radiance's very watercolorish and dominating wash of picturesque sunrise that gets more and more threatening #his void obsessions dominate all of his motifs and themes #which is why I gave him a- dysfunctional and sickly- connection with it in RFR #not because the void was out to get him #but because he let all of his guards down and cast aside so much of himself into 'negative space'#in order to ostensibly be more perfect #he invited the emptiness in and that has consequences if you do not treat the emptiness well #long post

Hi again !!

I really love what you wrote about how Sozin is jealous of Gyatso, and wow??? You're quite poetic about it too, that's really amazing !! I kept re-reading most of the time because it's really astonishing and adorable while at the same time I sympathize for Sozin there... (Like I would have my hand patting on his back, trying to comfort him man,,)

I want to ask again, did you make Roku's hair brown because of an animation error or is it a headcannon of yours? ALSO, I love you too by the way <3 /p

Thank you so much for your kind words! When I thought of the scene in question, I really wanted Sozin's (kinda pathetic) pining to be SO OBVIOUS but Roku just doesn't get it. I love the idea of Roku being so oblivious whilst Sozin sobs in a corner like "I'VE PROPOSED T W I C E ALREADY WHY DOESN'T HE LIKE ME." (And thank you for the comment about how poetic it was I love to write poems and prose and I'm glad that it's starting to bleed into my fics :D)

And I draw Roku's hair as brown primarily because most of the refs I used when first colouring him were with his hair brown, and also because it looks better than black -.- Like. His hair is brown about 55% of the time but then it's black??? Flat colour artists I love you but please pick a colour (the correct one which is brown)

#I like the idea of Roku having a very warm colour palette whilst Sozin's starts to wash out the older & more cruel he gets #Like even when he's old and wrinkly w/ white hair it's still got a lil bit of a warm tint to its colour while Sozin is basically monochrome #Colours make me crazy sorry #answers from the pit #ATLA #Avatar: The Last Airbender #Sozin #Fire Lord Sozin #Roku #Avatar Roku

Why are your fics labeled x reader when you always make reader an oc- reader means the description of reader is for reader to decide not set.

Hello my dearest fan, lmao thanks for reading all my fics, however I must sadly tell you I do whatever I want?? So idk go read someone else's fics. Why are you even here?

#anon truly what were you hoping to accomplish?#plenty of other writers to suit your veritable palette are out there waiting with bated breath in the tags #go shoo run off now #go find something more productive to do like wash between your toes

My unpopular opinion of the day is that making Chuuyas eyes blue was absolutely the right decision for the anime.

#I sometimes see edits of anime chuuya with brown eyes and it just looks off #the anime has a much higher saturated color palette so he needed some contrast in his design imo #especially since his outfit consists of dark reddish brown and blacks including his hair #so making his hair more orange and his eyes blue really helped making him stand out #the manga has a more washed out color palette #black white brown and grey is what most covers and official art look like #that's why Chuuyas brown eyes and less bright red/brown hair works there while anime chuuya would probably stand out like a sore thumb #chuuya nakahara #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs

What the hell is a Child of Fire and is Nagyunn an arsonist

preamble: hi i’m thinking abt this webcomic again and how little we know abt what’s actually going on with the masked bandits outside of that one guy possibly being lauzun’s dad or something. so when i reread i paid extra attention to figure out stuff but i’ve gotten nowhere. I write meta posts bcuz my thoughts haunt me and i want them gone to think about other stuff. other people think abt this for me thank you

So. Here ya go.

This post includes three sections, best summarized as:

1. What? 2. Who? 3. Why?

1. The hell’s a Child of Fire anyway?

We never get an explanation of this, but there’s some deductions we can make.

a) a Child of Fire is pretty hard to kill We see this when the masked bandits talk about killing Najin. They planned an ambush with a lot of people, and I’ve seen theorizing that they may have made Nagyunn kill Najin because only Nagyunn could.

There’s some property of a Child of Fire that just makes em apparently unkillable without special circumstances. Which leaves us with the question of, why could Nagyunn kill Najin if he’s a normal guy?

From Episode 32, said by the leader of the masked bandits.

b) a Child of Fire is presumably from Woodion This mainly ties back to Woodion being “the town of flame” and Najin being referred to as “Woodion’s flame” so this seems appropiate.

From Episode 2

From Episode 4

During the first meeting with Marsha, she also calls “Najin” “Najin van Woodion” with van being uhh dutch? for “of” so he’s “Najin of Woodion.” Names like that are typically associated with nobility. Either Najin’s family actually had some importance before biting the dust, or Najin and Nagyunn don’t have unique surnames and he’s “that guy Najin from Woodion.” Does anyone in this series have a surname actually?? Does anyone??

From Episode 19

c) Possible ties to magic? Other theorizing is that “Child of Fire” is meant very literally, what with the two counts of fire attached to our main guy. There’s also how magic works in The Ember Knight, as explained by the magician with magic being stronger if the elements just kinda like you. A Child of Fire may be a kid that fire just loves, but this point is the most theoretical.

From Episode 35

All around, we don’t know shit.

2. Who’s a Child of Fire anyway?

The obvious no brainer answer would be Najin, but it’s not that clear cut, imo.

There’s evidence for Najin being the one, namely the fact that the masked bandits are veeeeery convinced that he is, to the point they’re willing to believe Najin survived sword-through-the-heart on account of being the unkillable Child of Fire (see: the first screenshot).

Another thing is the first big count of fire in the story (chronologically): the fire supposedly set by Nagyunn that killed Luzian’s dad.

From Episode 2

Odd thing abt this is a formulation here:

[screencap of flashback during Luzian’s tryouts]

From Episode 13

The phrasing that Nagyunn didn’t feel guilt for killing the guy but rather not being able to save him, coupled with the reasoning for the fire being that “he doesn’t know”, makes who set the fire kind of suspicious.

From Episode 22

A very real possibility here is that Nagyunn took the fall for Najin if we once again interpret “Child of Fire” as being literal, on account of Nagyunn’s “I’ll always protect you!” thing

From Episode 2

but then AGAIN, Nagyunn very very much blames himself for the fire.

Also From Episode 2

Our second option would be that Nagyunn is the Child of Fire, which I think is also very possible.

First count of fire-setting could be Najin’s fault, but it could also still be an accident on Nagyunn’s part. Furthermore, the second fire of the series strikes me as notably odd.

Why the hell did Nagyunn burn his own house down? There’s a pragmatic reason, being that he needed a believable cause of death that would both obscure the actual cause of death via stabbing and also make the corpse unavailable for identity verification.

However, we don’t see Nagyunn actually set the fire. And the fire starts with a paper on the wall, without Nagyunn even being in the panel. That’s weird, right? There’s no explanation for how that happens, yeah?

From Episode 4

It’s possible we’re just not shown how Nagyunn set the fire because it would slow down the scene or something, but who else would it be? The masked bandits just up and left, they had no reason to set a fire.

If we believe Najin to be the Child of Fire, then his death could’ve caused it, just like, magically or something. If we believe Nagyunn to be the Child of Fire, then it may be like, a physical manifestation of his emotions.

It’s just weird, man.

Another point for Nagyunn is like, not really lore related but more symbolism related.

From Episode 12

Here, Nagyunn, who before was symbolically “the ash that remained” assumes the position of the fire, “the embers you couldn’t extinguish.” This also ties into the title of the comic, obviously, and this is the moment we really see Nagyunn as “The Ember Knight.” (Though rejecting being ash is additionally a metaphor for rejecting being Nagyunn. Layers.)

Like lore wise this means nothing but this is a narrative and foreshadowing can be anything. Nagyunn symbolically assumes the position of ember, that will one day grow into a raging fire. Ya see?

Maybe the masked bandits thinking Najin is the Child of Fire just comes from Najin’s strength and they’re mistaken, because they knew “one of those two” had to be it. Maybe Najin’s a red herring?

Man, maybe both of them are Children of Fire and it’s a genetic thing. Who knowwwws.

We don‘t actually know how killable Nagyunn is since he‘s never physically in mortal peril. I mean „stabbed-through-the-heart“ mortal peril. He is frequently surrounded by people with the intent and strength to kill him, though.

Moving on to a different thing, this bit from the narrator.

[screencap of the “one in a million” rock metaphor]

From Episode 9

Both Najin and Nagyunn are described as “one in a million” by the narrator. The narrator in this instance is pointedly not a limited one, as it describes Nagyunn in third person. Obviously, some random comment from the narrator doesn’t mean much, but I feel it’s worth pointing out how both of them are “special.”

And now arises the question of why the masked bandits wanted the Child of Fire dead so badly.

3. Why kill the Child of Fire anyway?

Since the masked bandits are so mysterious to the point not even some of their members know what the hell’s going on, they could be, well, not the good guys, but well-intentioned. There’s the geo-political aspect of them teaming up with the skeleton guy from the east who wanted to protect his king, and the brewing war between east and west, and the Knights are on the side of the west obviously but. The masked bandits may be trying to prevent war? I think?

So it remains within the realm of possibility that they wanted to kill the Child of Fire because the Child of Fire is inherently dangerous somehow.

Whether the presence of the Child of Fire would assure war-time victory for the west or whether the Child of Fire is dangerous to the world as a whole, I don’t. I don’t know. Both is possible.

If we believe the Child of Fire to be a danger, then it wouldn’t be out of line to describe them as “a lump of impurities”, would it.

That’s all my thoughts on the whole Child of Fire thing. Think what you will, all bets are off to what it really would be.

#Feli speaks #the ember knight #long post #it took a WHILE to get those screenshots so you better appreciate them #good thing i knew offhand which scenes had the deets i wanted #but also screenshotting on desktop is horrid on webtoon but the app blocks screenshots #so i had to use the mobile site which is why the screenshots r so dang big #cuz i'm too lazy to resize them. okay thanks #now i can finall think about the video game essays i want to write #THIS TOOK ONE AND A HALF HOURS?? SERIOUSLY?? sorry i just looked at a clock i started at like 13-something #and it's 14-something now #this si why my meta posts usually dont have sources damn #source: 'dude trust me'#also urging all my followers to read this comic it's good #visually speaking nagyunn has a strong tie to fire with his red orange color palette #but the color is vry washed out almost cold which is cool #pun not intended i think it's good character design
