#when you reminisce?

[dec152016]

I dont remember the exact date, but I do know our "formal introduction" was around this time almost 12 years ago.

I forgot about the meeting itself for a while but the impact it had on me and who I am was so profound, to take that night from me would make me into a different person entirely, so I wanted to talk about it a little on here, that's really what this blog is for

for some context: I was living in a motel (sunrise inn) and I was at that age where reality was starting to chip at all of that childlike wonder and wide eyed naivety that makes those primary school years so special.

that night in particular was a big point for me because I was realizing a lot about my life. How lonely it was. I had an interaction where I realized how invisible I was to the people around me. Resentful that they were obligated to take care of me. it felt like a part of me died with that. it was like my heart gave up. (typing that made other members if my family make a little more sense) the last thought on my mind as I fell asleep were about not making it to school in the morning. about how easy it would be to walk Into the highway the inn was off of.

The dream started with just me and Uriel, she explained to me that just because my family didnt love me didnt mean I was unlovable

I dont remember too much

but I remember You there, and the way your eyes glowed, like they were bioluminescent

and I remember hearing my name for the first time and being like "that's MUCH better" (I hadn't taken issue with the name i was using before that but it didnt sit right with me after)

by the time I woke up my heart and spirit were resurrected and then some, with little more than a new hope that roared inside me like the sun which to this day I hold onto like a scared child with their teddy bear and the sense that the constant barrage of shit I was living through was a sacrifice I was making so I could have a good life when I got older. (also a fixation on the pokemon protag)

the dream drifted into the aether like most dreams do, aside from a moment later in the day of deja vu where I was reminded of just you and I had to take a quick break from cutting out the paper bat to smile to myself. that was the first time I wrote anything other than my legal name on anything.

Golden Fleece

#my art #cotl #cotl lamb #blood #it was really fun to ponder this one #cause in the game sprite the body on the fleece has the scale-like texture but the hem is sharp like the standard fleece #i felt a 2 tiered piece would work nicely to show both of these contrasting elements #the sprite always makes me think of gold scale mail but i wanted to avoid it looking explicitly like armor #since the fleece gives you stacking atk damage in exchange of taking 2x damage when hit #although tbqh gold armor would be fucking pointless anyways. gold is a very soft metal. which may have been the point but w/e #instead i wanted the shapes to be more reminiscent of wool since like. yknow. the golden fleece #and i wanted it to speak of luxury and power but be rather impractical for movement or protection #i just wanted to do an axe for funsies and by wonderful coincidence remembered the godly axe was gold :] #anyways this pose is brought to you by my stupid ass who spun too hard with my upper body when swinging a bat and felt cool for 1 second #before totally unbalancing myself and falling #the instant after this image lambo eats shit. rest in peace

Love the idea that Leo’s portal and teleportation based fighting style can heavily parallel the types of stuff you’d see in magic acts. Disappearing and reappearing, pulling stuff out of a hat/portal, sleight of hand and other such methods of averting the audience’s/enemies’ attention from what you’re trying to do, etc.

It’s genuinely pretty neat to see and I wish his love of magic acts and magicians was brought up more often because it and his other interests tie into each other and in turn his whole self so neatly.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #leo out here making his entire identity circle on his special interests #and u know what he’s so valid for it #bros out here doing a performance 24/7 of course he latched onto the whole idea of ‘a magician never reveals his secrets’ #he heard that one line and was like omg I can make a mask of this #I’m so on board with the autistic leo thought too bc frfr he shows it in spades #he’s just a king at masking #but yeah back to special interests- Leo’s all come together in making his various masks #the way he acts is nearly always reminiscent of someone else and it’s notable how different he is when masking isn’t necessary #everyone: will you ever stop overthinking this turtle boy? #me: no

The idea that Neil Newbon based his performance of Astarion off a stray cat is so adorable and funny to me. And it explains so much.

#it’s the way he’s very prickly when he first meets you #but depending on how you play he warms right up to you #I remember seeing a gif post stating that High Approval Astarion is reminiscent to that of a happy cat #compared to Low Approval where he stands very still and guarded #I really wish his ears were animated too it would’ve added to the emoting #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #Astarion #bg3 astarion #Neil Newbon

Inspired both by the recent solar eclipse and this post by @otiksimr, an art piece I’ve never been prouder of, my WoF oc Sunkiller!

Born under a total solar eclipse (ask me about my temperature-based nightwing hatching headcanons. and also my headcanons about how sunlight affects nightwings.) and blessed with the ability of perfect knowledge of the past, or at least the past where dragons exist. This of course makes her an invaluable resource to historians everywhere, which she is absolutely sick of, and so has gotten very adept at the hermit lifestyle. For pity’s sake, you solve ONE cold case murder as a hatchling, and suddenly EVERYBODY wants your attention…

(if tui has declared anything canon about nightwings and solar eclipses, like she has for blood moons, which are lunar eclipses, i haven’t seen it)

#wof #wof nightwing #wof nightwing oc #my art #my crotchety baby girl i love you #currently i don’t have her existing during any of the canon timelines because that would make plotlines uh. pointless. #she definitely hatches wayyyyy way later #if anything she MIGHT meet the dragonets of prophecy when they’re big old ancient dragons and reminisce with them #which is a VERY strange experience for everyone involced *except* sunkiller #she thinks it is Very Normal to talk about events you see but haven’t experienced as if you did experience them—because to her there’s #no difference #however when she’s younger she’s also very bad at distinguishing between things she experienced and things she’s had visions of #which makes interpersonal relationships very difficult for her #so to her peers at first she’s creepy and weird because she acts like she was there when she wasn’ #and then when she overcompensates she’s cold and aloof because she never acts like she knows anybody #…ah shit i projected neurodivergency on an oc again—

Elly Conway was born and raised in upstate New York. She wrote her first novel about Agent Argylle while working as a waitress in a late-night diner, where Aidan Wilde secretly “spied” on her.

Just a little something inspired by @soinspiredbyyou's post [x]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - The Land of Departure

#kingdom hearts birth by sleep #khbbs #land of departure #scenery #my gif #man... i really do wish we could have spent more time in this world and learned more about the characters' lives here #it's very beautiful with a big castle but it's also very desolate #almost as if no one else lives in this world #no sight of any towns in the distance even when viewing the world from space #vanitas describes it as a tiny world so i think it's safe to assume there really isn't much of anything past those mountains #it could have to do with eraqus's vehement hatred of darkness so he raises his pupils in such a sheltered environment #as a means to 'protect them' #he does suck as a master honestly #so what's up with this place anyway? #the architecture is reminiscent of scala ad caelum but is it because eraqus modeled it after his home town or is there more to it? #in the fourth gif with the flags there's a bridge that you can't fully see but it's destroyed and doesn't lead anywhere #not that there's any land across from it that it could even lead towards #it raises a lot of questions... #i could be looking too far into things but it's fun to speculate #haha jonathan you read my essay

omfg I just watched "Zuko alone" (season 2 ep7) for the first time and it's so fucking good holy I'm getting goosebumps rn. The flashbacks, Zuko saying "I'm the son of Ursa and fire lord ozai" right after he got a flashback of his mom, the boy Zuko helped saying "I hate you!" After Zuko tried giving him the knife he got when he was younger, UGHH the angst, the feels I'm sobbing 😭💔

I also like how they showed azula being cunning even as a kid, not mourning her grandfather's death, wanting iroh to die so ozai can be king, not caring about lu tens death, etc. Also, how much her dad favoured her over Zuko, and how Zuko inherited his mom's gentleness. Zuko shows empathy so many times throughout this season. The most prominent one being refusing to steal food as soon as he found out it belonged to a pregnant woman. These little stuff show that his empathy, a character trait he always had, was slowly coming back to him and had never left him even after all the abuse he went through.

it also shows how much Azula has been influenced as a child by her own dad's cruelty and becoming just like him, to please him. The firenation is genuinely the best written segment of atla imo, and I'm saying this as a first time watcher.

The earthkingdom family being so quick to turn on Zuko after they found out he's the prince is so realistic but sad at the same time :( it shows how much a hundred year long war affects people. I'd say this is the episode Zuko truly realized the damage his nation, and his father had done to the world.

#Give me a minute I need to breathe #Best episode in animation history holy fuckity fuck #When I say that is the best animated series ever (I'm sorry miraculous I've betrayed you) #I'm keeping tabs of my atla episode reactions on Tumblr so I can look back on them one day and reminisce on my first reaction #Zuko the man you are #Such a good character #Azula too tbh #I kinda get why she's so cruel. Her dad's the real problem #atla azula #atla zuko #atla #zuko #katara #sokka #the gaang #iroh atla #avatar aang #avatar the last airbender #ozai atla #iroh #azulon #azula #ursa atla

@vulpixisananimal sifstem art jumpscare!! more specifically i got bored and decided to mess around with sif and mal's outfits.

#my art #this is how I think theyd present themselves either in person or in headspace. the slouchers <3 #sifs outfit is simple; the boots i always give them (but with star laces for funsies); loose sweater; simple pants #the pants are Meant to be jeans but isat doesnt Specifically Have Jeans so. theyre just Pants. #the sweater is slightly looser bc sif doesnt seem like a Form Fitting Clothes kinda guy to me but hes Trying to be more open #on particularly good days theyll roll the sleeves up or wear a sleeveless one methinks #even if everyone Knows abt the self-harm scars its hard to Look at them. #i also associate them being more open with them not wearing an eyepatch. esp bc hes the only one of the three to go without it #for mal (or 'ami' as i like to call it) i wanted smth reminiscent of a mourning outfit bc mal du pays means homesickness #and i picked 'ami' as a nickname bc ami means friend :] at least according to my basic translator. i dont speak french <3 #ami's outfit being dark is also reminiscent of the inversion thing its got going on in canon. #ik the veil is starred in the original but i think ami would want the fewest reminders of home. on account of The Issues #(actually if i can come back to sifs laces sif also has issues with reminders of it bc of the memory loss but the shoelaces are His Choice— #—which gives them a form of control over it and they can keep it subtle or undo it if he wants. which makes it easier) #anyway. i put amis hair in an updo and smoothed the hat bc i think ami wants to be Unremarkable. Unknown. so it keeps its silhouette Simple #(it still keeps the pins. theres smth comforting abt them. they shine like stars and theyre not stars and theyre not Home. but theyre You.) #and i kept the long hair i gave loop. dont ask me why its so long when the canon hair is short. maybe their hair kept growing over the loop #OH and i drew ami in a side profile bc Silhouette and also bc i think itd make an effort to keep people away from its blind spot #andddd i think thats about it? plus i actually managed to keep this one within a reasonable timeframe. #if their hair changes lengths/the proportions change between drawings. no they dont 💛 peace and love and body craft #OH AND YOU FINALLY GET TO SEE WHAT I MEAN ABT SIFS BOOTS BC THESE ARE THE BOOTS I GAVE THEM ON MY REGULAR DESIGN ARENT THEY NEAT #i did actually try to give sif a different font but nothing Works for them like the pixel font. i cant explain it. #i think 'ami' would be a nickname that mira gives it. bc. shes Fantasy French. and its a sort of 'youre more than your yearning/loss' thing #me every time i think abt sifstem: yeah they just rotate in my head. nothing major #me every time i talk abt sifstem: oh hey im almost at tag limit again #au Good what can i say
