MAJOR 2.1 (PART 3) TRAILBLAZE QUEST SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK GAMBLE
the feeling when you're so invested in your character that your nervous systems become one and you feel everything:
for context this was during Camden Sutkowski's (Aventurine's EN voiceactor) stream of the 2.1 trailblaze quest
his voiceacting is peak because he BECAME aventurine /hj
(but for real he is SOOO good, AND IT'S HIS FIRST TIME VOICEACTING??!??!?! I looked him up to see what he did before and was relieved to find that he was an actor for live action stuff, because if this was also this man's first acting role I would have actually died of shock—)
jokes aside I love voiceactors reacting to the final product / the culmination of their work it's so wholesome, and honestly any person who worked on something—like someone who did music finally seeing the animation that accompanies it, or someone who animates the linework seeing the fully colored final animation with audio and all, it's so beautiful in a way to see the results of everyone's combined efforts
same reason I tear up a bit sometimes when seeing live concerts of music or big musicals with a huge cast, it's so cool how every single person contributes and fits seamlessly into the whole
like... like HARMONY AHAHHAAHAHA XIPE IS THAT YOU???
Was there ever another choice?
I bought this stupid mfing light cone just for this
Hes got that ratio rizz
the minute I saw aventurine standing there I knew what I had to do
GENSHIN COULD NEVER MY ASS
Y'all were jealous of HSR players and their free 5 star dr ratio well youve got him
"Hoyoverse can we have dr ratio in genshin"
Dr ratio in genshin:
Walmart dr ratio:
So I just realized smth from the new animated short (which I also posted abt because Arles hands becoming less dark when she's with Clervie is so wholesome but so sad) BUT
I think she'll have second thoughts abt making Lyney be the next head of the hearth cuz she'll realize she's becoming like the previous knave or "Mother" who forced the children to compete to become "king"
She even uses the term "King" in the trailer iirc instead of "head of the house of the hearth" or just "head" or "father" or "knave"
And we know she doesn't want to be like the previous head because instead of being a "mother" that acts like she cares but actually doesnt, she calls herself a "strict and unfeeling father" despite the fact that she clearly does care
So maybe she'll realize she's becoming like the previous knave, forcing Lyney to do things he doesn't want to so he'll become the next "king", even if those things don't involve killing other house members
She's clearly empathetic considering she held a funeral for a literal spider, so it's not like she has no feelings or emotions at all
And pierro called her "poor, mad, cursed knave" suggesting she didn't really want to be the next knave—another reason she might empathize with Lyney and have second thoughts
AND their fight also mirrors hers—she fought alone against her "mother" after all her family died, but because of Arle's changes Lyney fights his "father" with the help of his siblings
And hopefully the outcome won't be one of them dying
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP WTF
everyone was expecting her fight to be her testing / training the Traveler BUT THIS!?!?!
(spoilers for Lyney / Lynette / Freminet lore, it's found in their character bios / voicelines but doesn't spoil anything in the archon quests)
The siblings standing up to her and her fighting them???!??! This is so insane I—
It definitely looks serious considering that she's gone into her crazy balemoon form, and the fact that Freminet is blocking her very deadly looking strike and also going straight for her head
I know Lyney has a voiceline about having to become the next head of the House of the Hearth, and not wanting us to tell his siblings because they'll worry
Perhaps they find out here and all 3 decide to convince Arle to let Lyney make his own decision about that matter
It also seems that they got assigned a mission they don't want to complete, perhaps involving someone they know or don't want to kill (Freminet saying Lyney is hiding the person Father is looking for, Lynette asking why Arle's backed them into a corner, etc)
Judging by the opening lines of the trailer (some familiar faces not being present, etc) and details in the siblings' voicelines it's clear they're sent on dangerous missions and are always avoiding death by the skin of their teeth, and definitely aren't living normal lives
Also Freminet says that crying is looked down on / considered weak by Arle, so he always bottles up his emotions and lets them out at the literal bottom of the ocean; their childhood was definitely not great, even if Arle saved them from even worse fates
Like they never really experienced a normal childhood so I doubt they realize that the stuff going on in the House of the Hearth isn't anywhere near ideal
The special program also implies that Arle is very strict and the siblings have been affected negatively by this (stuff Daman / Lyney's VA says, etc)
I really hope that Arle sees their logic and backs down so I don't feel entirely terrible about pulling for her / liking her character because if she's willing to kill any of the siblings I'm going to be absolutely furious at her—
We do know she cares about them and gets very angry when they're mistreated or when they want to risk their lives when their are other options (her anger at people in Freminet / Lynette's past and when Lyney wants to risk his life and get a delusion to be able to perform on the same level as Lynette, before he got his vision)
ALSO I'm not going to ramble abt this as much but CYNO'S STORY QUEST!??!?!? From what I gather it seems Sethos was another candidate to receive the god's power (that Cyno has) and feels that he should have gotten it rather than Cyno for some reason?? Can't wait to see what's up with that as well
(also not Cyno and Yoimiya getting second story quests before Venti help—)

I JUST NOTICED THIS DETAIL IM FREAKING OUT
When Arle is sad abt her spider dying her curse acts up and her hands get darker, then they become less dark until they're almost entirely normal when she's with Clervie, but once Clervie dies they blacken again and the markings, long nails, and red nails show up
Also maybe she made her title "Father" so she wouldn't have to hear herself referred to with the same title as the previous Knave who killed the person who was seemingly her only friend

Random Alhaitham and Kaveh headcanon incoming involving plants and interior design
So Kaveh is absolutely plant crazy and has a bunch of aerogardens and probably a few terrariums to decorare the house, but since his style is more spontaneous bursts of 3 am creativity and motivation and not consistent and logical work he'd be terrible at taking care of them (along with taking care of himself) even if he's trying his best because either he or the plants will get burnt out
And meanwhile Haitham's just a straight up plant nerd but keeps reeeeaaal uiet about it, and watches from afar while "reading," then when Kaveh goes to sleep or to his room or to get absolutely wasted at the tavern with Cyno and Tighnari or something he'll just go and fix up the plants and the setup for them and such
And since he's 1) learned to pick his arguments more carefully with Kaveh so Kaveh doesn't get overwhelmed (and so Alhaitham can spend his arguments on things more important than plants, like Kaveh's self-destructive levels of empathy), and 2) probably knows that Kaveh blames himself a lot for his father's death and is always feeling that he needs to be there for others out of guilt + is hard on himself when he can't help people, Alhaitham stays quiet about Kaveh's terrible gardening skills so he doesn't blame himself for neglecting / not caring for the plants
Which of course leads to Kaveh thinking that he's an absolute gardening prodigy and leads to him buying even more plants, while Alhaitham's torn between being vaguely happy that Kaveh is enjoying himself, and heavily regretting his actions because now he has even more plants to take care of
I need to draw this
I cannot with this quest man 😭😭😭
Why did Jing Liu think this was a good idea
The way Blade's looking at Dan Heng and also his bombastic side eye
On the other hand their backstories are so sad, I don't really ship RenHeng but I do ship RenFeng
It's super sad that Blade can't move on from Dan Feng and wants closure and keeps seeing him in Dan Heng, when they're different people and Dan Feng will never come back
And sad that Dan Heng probably can't ever live on the Luofu because people will only see Dan Feng
Although tbh Dan Feng's kinda like an overbearing father who's like "you WILL go to law school or I will disown you" to Dan Heng in that one animation on the HSR channel 💀
On the other hand I saw someone say about the High Cloud Quintet that they all were like "let's all have white hair and not tell Dan Feng"
I personally think that Scara probably still deals with trauma / self-loathing from his past + blames himself for being manipulated by Dottore and for the fact that his attempt to sacrifice himself via Irminsul to bring everyone back failed. Due to his general distrust of humans I kinda made this headcanon that cats / the aranara / birds / Nahida help get him out of his own head when he's going down that path and starts overthinking everything and getting overwhelmed by all that's happened to him / the new realizations he had in the interlude quest so yea

I love Kaveh sm he's the perfect mix of wholesome and angst and is so relatable, his writing is so good
Xen's old scarf is probably the most colorful thing in his universe. My friend told me that "it looks like a radioactive unicorn barfed on it" and I agree. To circumvent this I changed his scarf to be a solid color. This is an older piece. =)
The other dude is Kieran. His observation skills are very keen—the mirror is indeed broken.
One of my newer OCs. Her name is Kyrie (Kai-ree), Kai for short. Originally Kairi but not sure if the spelling is clear enough.
Anyways, she's a creature loosely based off of kelpies from Scottish mythology—a water spirit that can shapeshift into an equestrian (or human in some myths) form to lure in potential victims. She enjoys bone collecting and would probably frequent r/vultureculture if she existed in our world.
I'm very happy with how the rendering of the skin and hair turned out, and the effects / texture.
A victim of the plague in Kýmare; the few that survive the initial intense wave of infection are left weakened and often bedridden or even comatose, with only a few years to live. Lyn is the exception; he has continued to go about his life with merely a few… unpleasant side effects. He's working on it. As for Lyn's expected lifespan. . . he's working on that too.
A mysterious figure, Lyn can be seen wandering about in secluded areas. He is often likened to some kind of wraith or spirit by the locals due to his outfit and the silent grace and elegance of his movements. His mask, hat, and cloak are meant to conceal the scars/damage he retained from the plague, and also to prevent further infections, which would be very bad for his health.
Y'know, even with the solid track record as Minnesota Governor, I think the biggest benefit Walz might bring to the Harris campaign is that he just seems like a pleasant and goofy dad. Like, imagine being called "weird" by a guy who just wants to hang out with his kids and tease them about their vegetarianism. It stings because you know he means it
“Don’t much know how those finicky rarepairs will do if they’re lonesome oneshots. You just gotta remember to graft them with a long-fic root system. I usually recommend some hurt/comfort to inoculate it too. A little angst is good fertilizer, but if you’re short a pinch, whump I find works just as well. Good ta’hear from ya though. I’ll be sowing some of my classics- the staple crops the fandom market I sell at is sure to like. But I’ve been considering the fantasy and supernatural AU varieties for flavor. We’ll see.”
One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.” And everyone else just “aye.”

Stony - Fic Prompt #4
Tony wants to go on vacation. He drives with Steve to a log cabin at Lakeside and wants to do a lot of things, including cycling, swimming, hiking, climbing mountains, etc... But Steve can neither ride a bike nor swim. He never learned.
Tony will of course be happy to help and teach him everything. Imagine Captain America with water wings and support wheels.
Lots of fluff and cuddling and Tony being a lovely douchebag.
Works also with WinterIron, IronPanther, IronStrange and FrostIron.
I would be happy if someone would like to write a ff or use parts of it. But please give credits ^__^
