HIII HI HELLO SORRY THIS IS SOOO LATE AJDBBK but yes!! i am working on a vampire miles fic! hehehe 😼 here's a little excerpt if you're interested... 🤭🤭 be warned there is suggestive content!

I was watching a video about how artists really don't like women (specifically how male ocs are favored/more complex/drawn more) and it's so crazy to me. Especially because for a very long time I didn't design very many guy ocs, and when I did they didn't stick around long. While I am pretty balanced in my ocs now a days, I still do feel like I get more attached invested in my lady ocs...

the fulfilled motifs in alhaitham and kaveh's relationship are on my brain!!

- most poignantly, the two coming together to unveil the temple of silence in cyno’s story quest, which parallels their thesis on ancient architecture and runes of king deshret’s era, as the two appropriate the other’s respective signature (alhaitham recognises architectural structures whereas kaveh is struck by the beauty of an emblem) - where the two once fell out due to the disharmony of their viewpoints, they have reconciled them within this quest

- there’s the two working together in the house of daena, where they argued in the house of daena upon meeting them in the archon quest, where they were described to have a ‘terrible’ relationship by the npc geoff, which is mirrored in cyno’s story quest by the two actively working together - as well as paralleling the npc archon quest scene the player has to actively seek out in which the two argue once more, whereas in cyno’s story quest, the two willingly exchange information and are supportive in helping the other

- we have the fulfilment of kaveh losing his family and therefore his idea of ‘home’ through him actively referring to the house he and alhaitham share as ‘home’, and that he wants to return to it together with alhaitham, as a set, and by implication a family, in cyno’s story quest

- by extension, kaveh not concealing his living arrangements by openly referring to him and alhaitham’s ‘home’ in front of his friends, which refers back to when kaveh asks the traveller to keep it a secret upon meeting him officially in alhaitham’s story quest

- kaveh buying wine and coffee beans in the tavern, alhaitham and kaveh sharing wine in their house, which is something they are mentioned to do in the bulletin boards of sumeru as well as in alhaitham's story quest, going hand in hand with the two drinking coffee together in the house of daena, with kaveh mentioning he wishes he had made some for them before leaving the house, which refers back to his 2023 birthday letter where he and alhaitham taste tested coffee beans (i am, once again asking, for an alhaitham mention in 2024....),

for future sumeru quests or events i am thinking of the unfulfilled instances or things that can be addressed??

- whether kaveh accepts alhaitham's research into sachin's influence over his father as closure for his involvement in his father disappearing into the desert, as his reaction differs from whether alhaitham tells him vs when the traveller tells him. since cyno's story quest 2 indicates that alhaitham telling him is what happened in canon, this subsequently betters their relationship. the idea of kaveh's cycle of self-detriment due to his past guilt hasn't been addressed since apop and it remains uncertain as to if kaveh has made steps to forgive himself or if he even wants to. this development of kaveh's character is truly interesting and i would love to see it explored at some point, and also in turn what alhaitham's involvement is in this, as in his newly accepted support of kaveh

- kaveh writing to/visiting his mother in fontaine? or at least a mention of kaveh's mother, as his hangout has a heavy focus on faranak's past relationship with kaveh and her hopes for his future, which we see in her advice to him as a struggling artist being that to found reliable companions. if kaveh undergoes a reconciliation arc within himself, as in he aims to forgive himself for his past guilt, then it would make sense for him to have a reconnection with his mother to talk about the past in order to truly look to the future

- kaveh and alhaitham having a role to play in the exploration of the temple of silence in future events - hints of this may be seen in sethos cautioning cyno that he may only invite people he and lord kusanali deem worthy, for cyno to then tell alhaitham and kaveh upon arriving back in sumeru. To this, kaveh expresses an open interest and cyno tells him that he will have an opportunity to investigate in the future. As alhaitham and kaveh have teamed up together in order to investigate into the temple of silence, and are indirectly connected to it through their thesis of king deshret, it seems they will likely be a part of the role the temple of silence will play in the future

(- i thought that an unfulfilled instance could be kaveh referring to alhaitham as his friend in game as this would be a callback to when paimon asked whether he and alhaitham were friends, to which he replied that they ‘used to be’ but weren’t anymore… but in terms of how alhaitham and kaveh's relationship is handled in-game, i think queercoding plays a big part in having labels such as ‘friends’ continue to be evaded (i have spoken about definitive labels being avoided in the writing of haikaveh here), this is backed up by sethos’ voice line as the two are paired together as “alhaitham and kaveh” and are referenced as a set with “those two”, rather than a definitive label such as ‘roommates’ or ‘friends’ being placed on them. Rather, they are conceived to be something outside of this, as sethos conveys their ‘otherness’ with “something about those two hanging out, you just can’t look away”, so i think, imo, it would fall more in line for them to continually not be assigned definitive relationship status, but if the improvement of their relationship is actually mentioned in-game since it was only shown and not told in cyno's story quest 2, it would make sense for them to say something that indicates they overcame misunderstandings or something vague like that. as there's an air of secrecy around alhaitham and kaveh's relationship, the traveller won't ever be privy to the specific details)

i went and signed up for a busuu acct and omggg it IS like duolingo sorta before it went all ai bullshit! they even facilitate interactions with native speakers! i just wish it gave me more choices on what to do next. it's more comparable to duolingo's "waterfall" aka forced linear path than the old duolingo version of giving you options on what to build up next. so far it also seems to have less repetition, which got annoying with duo but is honestly very good for memorization, so it probably needs to be supplemented with flashcards like anki.

i'm gonna learn spanish (again sorta)!! i'm gonna do it!

I miss my old high school friends and classmates o(-(

[vamperrvert]

ok oc lore time yayyy (@kruxton hi….)

basic idea of this thing is that instead of just covid or whatever in 2020 it was actually a nuclear war! and everything got really really really bad and it centers around my four characters: moxie and jori (siblings) and lucille and jeremiah (siblings)(read tags for fun facts about them there’s a lot of lore). basicallyyy jeremiah and moxie were friends before That happened but jeremiah and luci were in colorado visiting family (who lived on a farm this is important) so they got super separated and like moxie and joris parents died (me im one of them) so moxie is just kinda. trying to keep his sibling alive. like that’s his only purpose. and also getting back to california because that’s where he was raised and he misses it. but them jeremiah finds him and he’s all big and grown up and moxie is a FAG and makes things really bad by crushing on him still after like seven years or some shit so him and jori go to live on the farm with him but oh! where’s luci? well she’s the leader of a notoriously dangerous nomadic gang that does dirty work for good resources. obviously. and it goes into all of their relationships and stuff like how jori feels about moxie (bad) and is almost indoctrinated into a cult or whatever and how moxie is THE yearner for his emotionally constipated best friend that maybe wants him? maybe? well never know. and jeremiah is ominous as hell about luci and is raising his baby sister tabitha (who as of now will grow up to be a weird little freak with borderline serial killer behavior)

i drew them too but i don’t have my ipad on me so here’s a screenshot from my instagram lawl

(in order from left to right: jori, moxie, jeremiah, lucille)

[pikachu-deluxe]

it's honestly so relieving to realize what you were missing for your creative projects no matter how dumb and obvious you think it should have been

[queencvbra]

[unfriendlyamazon]

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

just a note- ae really love the variety you get in birds. like yeah obviously there's a huge difference between ostriches and mourning doves. and yeah you've got birds that are rainbow or bright blue or green or even purple. but you've also got birds with vibrant bright blue beaks and birds with neon red legs. you've also got birds with blue eyes and purple eyes and pink eyes and red eyes and multicolor eyes and silver eyes and every color under the sun basically. in other words, it's really cool how different every species of bird is, even from other species in the same genus. ae like them

Works In Progress, but it's kinda cursed bc I'm including my schoolwork in here:

1. Revolutionary Tourism: The 1988 Olympics, 1989 World Youth Festival, and the Dissolution of Reunification Efforts on the Korean Peninsula

The relationship between North and South Korea during the 1988 Olympic preparation period and the developing tensions with North Korea as a result of hosting the games, and an analysis of the outside factors that would contribute to the hot and cold relationship between North and South at that time, and how the failure to co-host and subsequent economic boom of South Korea further isolated North Korea in global politics due to shifting priorities of major countries.

2. Digital Media Analysis - Markipler

A snapshot of Markiplier's YouTube channel metrics from inception to present day, an analysis of his successful and unsuccessful metrics, and a hypothetical plan for maintaining metrics in the future to facilitate his large projects.

3. Lessons In Cartography - JJBA SBR Fanfic

Meyers’ Maps and Cartographers is a business everyone in the 1880s US knows. Especially now, with their sponsorship of the Steel Ball Run race, in exchange for the entry of their son Thomas Meyers, and of course, all riders being provided with Meyers-brand maps.

One week before the race, Thomas Meyers dies of Yellow Fever. The family turns to their young daughter Isadora to compete under his name, and in his place, to save the contract. And she agrees.

This is absolutely cursed. 100% cursed.
