MiqoMarch Day 22 - Blessing(s)

Taking a small aside to wish @iron-sparrow a very happy birdthday. I hope this year treats you well, my friend!

we both wore sweaters that i knitted to our dinner date last night. her, in a hazy blueish off-shoulder top and glossy lipstick, and me in a sea glass green turtleneck and my grandfather’s leather jacket. i still get nervous butterflies in the pit of my stomach around her sometimes, even though we have been together for nearly six years and lived together for two. she is so beautiful, it becomes hard to think. we dipped slices of cucumber into foamy dill yogurt and took turns pitching log cabins to visit in the woods for our next vacation. we ate perfectly salted steak frites and the best burger we’ve tried since moving to the city and shared a creamy scoop of turtle latte ice cream. when we returned to the apartment dripping with rain, the cat and dog wound around our legs as if we had been gone for days.

Hi Livi!

I finally gathered the courage to send something to your ask box. There’s so much I want to say, but I'm not very good at expressing myself, so if my words seem a bit jumbled, I hope you don't mind.

I started using Tumblr a little over a year ago, and I remember stumbling upon one of your artworks after searching the “alttp” tag. I was so incredibly happy and excited — I loved it immediately, especially because it’s so rare to see ALTTP-related art where I’m from.

Back then, I didn’t pay much attention to who the artist was and just kept browsing. But over time, I realized that so many of the amazing pieces I loved were actually created by you! Honestly, your art is breathtaking. The way you portray Link and Zelda outside of the game’s narrative makes them feel so real. Your inspiration and creativity seem endless.

Your use of bright, intricate, and emotionally resonant colors fills every piece with a sense of story — sometimes with a gentle sadness, sometimes with tiny, charming interactions that make me smile.

I remember seeing that you draw on a particular site, and I tried using it too. It was really hard 😣 and made me admire your work even more — I’m amazed at how you manage to create such rich, detailed pieces on such a tiny canvas and with such limited tools.

Your compositions and the way you frame your scenes are incredible too — the perspectives you use, whether it's looking up, down, or close-up, show such skill and depth. I’ve been obsessed with your artwork for a long time 🥺🥺

And the outfits you design for Link and Zelda — they’re absolutely beautiful. They’re so different from the classic green tunic, yet they feel *exactly* like something the characters would wear. I don’t think any language could fully express how much I love your costume designs. Please allow me to scream for a moment here.

There’s still so much I want to say, but now that I’m writing, I find myself at a loss for words. So I’ll just say this: you are truly an amazing artist. Your work is astonishing and deeply captivating.

Also, I drew some of your versions of Link and Zelda — I hope you’ll like them! (Screaming again, their designs are just too beautiful 😭😭)

VIOLET HI!!! 💕💕💕

I'm sorry I have no idea where to start here, I'm feeling so overwhelmed in the best way ever! I just barely managed to load this ask before leaving the locker room at work yesterday and ended up hiding there until everyone else left bc I didn't want them to see my cry haha💕,,

I don't think there's any beginning or end to how emotional this got me and to how honoured I feel to have my art described in such a way;; this is!! absolutely everything I've ever dreamed of reaching with my art, so having someone else putting it into words just from looking at is so incredible !!!! ;v; even if it's hard to feel happy about my own stuff it seems like I can still portray the things I want to, this makes me so happy 🥹💕💕

and especially because a lot of this is stuff I absolutely love about your art too!!!! you have such an incredible way of creating soft, yet somber atmospheres and your compositions always come off so intentional and interesting !!! the way you blend so many different colours into everything looks both natural and interesting and it's one of my absolute favourite things from art !! ✨✨✨

Seeing you back on tegaki was such a joy too !!! ;v; even if it ended up feeling difficult, I was so excited to see you there and getting to check your posts for new comments brought me so much joy !!!! I always wanted to send you more comments but got so caught up in the excitement of you posting smth yourself I got distracted from it too often...

in general I'm always so excited to see you post new art !!! and super grateful we get to see a lot of your sketches lately too !!!! you art has such a consistent and pretty style and always comes off so smooth and effortless and interesting and it has inspired me so much !!! 💖💖💖🥹💕

I'm feeling a bit lost for words since there's So much I want to say it's difficult to phrase it properly. but you bringing up fun tegaki memories reminded me of the most fun way to thank people! (I tried bringing out the classic palette too!)

and since I also really love the way you draw them too and I was sad I missed maid day (yet again) them !!

I've been absolutely losing my mind over the way you drew my little guys!!!!!!!;; I've been looking at them so much already they almost feel ingrained into my brain, to the point I almost forgot they were real !!! there's no way I could properly thank you for all of this; the amazing art, the incredibly nice words and all the art inspiration you bring me by sharing your work!!! I'm feeling so so lucky and again so so honoured ;v; 💖💖💖💕💖💕

Person with no whimsy: Why are you trying to trick g-d with loopholes? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[corviiids]

i get the lines blur but there IS a big difference between media which doesn't explicitly tell/show you precisely what happens in the end but does point pretty clearly down the intended road vs legitimate open endings where you're supposed to decide what happens completely on your own and multiple interpretations would be supported

Solmissus aka the diner plate jelly 🪼

Delight in the delicate dreaminess of the dinner plate jelly 🍽♨️

We’re excited to share this glimpse of the fascinating Solmissus incisa a rare and marvelous beauty from the deep sea. As far as we know, this is the first time this species has been exhibited anywhere in the world thanks to the hard work of our animal care and water system teams who were able to recreate the water chemistry of these fragile friends’ midwater habitat. We can’t wait to learn more about them!

i just caught up with my comments over on ao3 and this literally me right now

[jeeaark]

Hi just here to gush

I love your art so much, the panels are so incredibly alive and colorful, i dont know how to explain it but there is so much love and passion in everything you seem to do. Sometimes I randomly think about the "please, continue" raphael comic and get this tight feeling in my chest because it's literally stunning. The colors! The movements! The Greygold! I never gave a shit about the Emperor but boy do I now because of your comics!

You dont have to respond to this publically or anything but I just wanted to hop in and say that you inspire me so much as an artist and I love going through your catalogue and rereading the whole thing ^-^

[vaguely-concerned]

me: *thinking about kira in her thematically significant white tank top* you know maybe it is worth it to keep going after all

[its-a-me-mango]

It's so funny to me whenever I get the rare chance to see someone complaining about people's SMG4 OC's/self-inserts/AU's. Like my guy come, you are watching the Mario videos with the self-insert and his many OC's in it and the whole thing is just one big AU, get a grip!!! Come make a OC with me and enjoy yourself.
