Celegorm but everything about him is 10x funnier because he's a chronic ainur fucker and just doesn't tell anyone about it. He looks inwards and decides marriage is between elves so deciding to roll around with maiar of the hunt is absolutely valid and not marriage. Who's ever heard of an elf marrying a Maia?
Elven polyamory may be illegal but it doesn't count if he's just ferrying kisses between Oromë and Vána- they're not elves. No, it's not hypocritical, what are you talking about. Just don't tell his father. What? No, not because of the whole polyamory thing, Feanor's just got a thing about Valar. Yes Celegorm is sure that's the only reason he doesn't want to tell his dad.
#tolkien#silmarillion#silm#celegorm#tyelkormo#orome#vana#yes this means tyelko is taking the dog in the divorce#the moon appears and he's like immediately “ayo that's Tilion”#curufin voice: how are you recognising a maiar who is currently the fucking moon#tyelko voice: funny that you'd mention fucking the moon#do you see my vision#no one makes him weird enough. this man speaks dog and bird and fistfights people over dragonfly linguistics#of course he's mental gymnasticing his way to convincing himself that he's definitely not disappointing his father#(a common feanorian pastime)#just imagining the Doriath beef here btw#“why's thingol so special huh” “I mean he did marry a Maia” “he's not special do you know how many times I had to get an impromptu divorce”#“what” “yeah cause I'd accidentally marry a Maia. or like Oromë once or twice”#“OROME??” “ok maybe three times”

desert flygon
#pokemon#pokemon ruby and sapphire#hoenn#gen 3#flygon#aquanutart#i made this in the dead of winter a couple of years ago#after wanting for the whole year to enter the tcg illustration contest but i ended up working on something at the last minute as usual#i don't like competition but i enjoy having a reason to draw a pokemon with a lot of other people#i was waking up early before work to keep making progress on it but i thought i wasn't going to make the deadline#and when i had just decided i had done as much as i could and couldn't get it finished#i went out on that cold snowy day and on that day and that day only for some reason my car wouldn't start#we tried starting it with jumper cables but i'm not sure i know how to use them.. anyway i had to call someone and wait for them to come#i had to call in late to work and then i was waiting for two hours. which was just about enough time for me to keep working on this#i was able to submit it seconds before the deadline the next morning#and it's very cool to me that i was able to participate even though i didn't place (i'm actually glad i didn't place)#(because i would rather it go to someone who worked longer on their entry and/or started earlier before the deadline)#(i just wanted to join everyone in drawing a pokemon but i would prefer for it to just be its own thing and not compared to other pokemon)#this is partly why it's cool to me to have the tcg cards from the contest i also entered!#i chose to draw flygon because gen 3 is one of my favorites and i grew up in the desert and always wanted to imagine pokemon running around#that was the last era of my childhood before i moved and had to grow up where everything was new and different#for 12 years overseas i was homesick for this sun#i'm in a snowier place now but i see the sun even in winter so i'm happy!#since drawing this i appreciate and notice flygon a lot more! i always thought trapinch was very cute#i love the scene in twilight wings final episode when flygon is looking around and scanning; it's so cool#and because of this i got very excited to see flygon in the pokearth documentary flying like a dragonfly#i had wanted to imagine it landing a bit like a bug

"You've always wanted to cure what you thought were weaknesses. [...] [But] there's beauty in imperfections." // "I thought I could bring an end to the world's suffering. But when every equation was solved, all that remained... were fields of... dreamless solitude. There is no prize to perfection. Only an end to pursuit. In all timelines. In all possibilities. Only you... can show me this."
"Viktor really thought what he was doing was right, that he's a good person and was trying to do good. But without Jayce, he kind of lost his way. At that point Viktor had lost his hope in humanity, so he needed Jayce to show him there were reasons to still try." - Amanda Overton

#arcane#jayvik#viktor#jayce talis#viktor arcane#jayce arcane#my edits#wasteland fitting both viktor and jinx so well... i needed them to interact more so badly 😭#also au viktor will never get his jayce back and i'm dying everyday thinking abt this#at the very least he can try in other timelines...#also it was supposed to be gifs but tumblr said “fck you” so...#dragonflies symbolize change; transformation; new beginnings; new perspective; revelations; growth; hope; etc.

BACK ON MY INVINCIBLE MLP CROSSOVER JOY!!! I love this crossover smmmm, my soul is happy, cured even, treated of all possible ills. For Andressa's species, instead of relying on a horn for magic (which they don't have), every filly is bestowed a gem for magic! AND, because I want it, Oliver has some winks to Andressa's designs with the swirls on his legs mimicking the lines on hers, sharing a thinly tail, tiny little bumps like spikes, and the curls sorta kinda maybe like her antennae (if you squint and believe, which you should). Andressa and Oliver ilysm. Best purple pony on the planet tbh, sorrry not sorry Twilight Sparkle :/
Bonus drawing of Oliver trying to practice magic by lifting a sheet of paper, he's trying his best, ok???
#thinking if this mlp and we don't have aliens the planet they must live VERY separated and people kinda stay in their respective city/town?#which i don't know if it works but personally i am in love with pony andressa#she is more scaley than fluffy and so there's patches on oliver that's kinda rough/hard since the skin is tough and fur is thin#he swings around his tail a lot absentmindedly and often wacks mark with it just because he can#when he's young he RLLY wants to try lifting himself up with this own magic but the gems accumulate magic slow-ish?#i think oliver should get wings at like 13-14 but they're bug wings like bees or dragonflies !!! it just comes in later#lowkey almost made them changelings until i remembered that'd be SOOOO shapeshifter's deal and NOT andressa or oliver (insect-like)#ok i am done yapping#invincible au#invincible series#invincible season 2#invincible rotating in my mind#digital art#procreate art#fanart#invincible fanart#oliver grayson#invincible andressa#digital artist#digital illustration#pony design#crossover fanart#the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡

couldn't sleep and ended up doodling way past my bedtime. oops
your honour i fucking love them so much am i screaming at the void here where are you guys.
kevin visiting days are the bane of njord's existence because either nothing at all gets done whatsoever, or shawn and kevin somehow manage to concoct the most dastardly training regiment ever conceived by human kind. and also he has to deal with whatever the fuck they have going on. no peace
#kevin dragonfly#someoka ryuugo#shawn froste#fubuki shirou#somefubu#njord snio#yukimura hyouga#very strange for me to encounter another hyoga in the wild#as a saint seiya fan#to me hyoga is the blonde mama's boy who keeps getting put in the freezer#but i digress#inazuma eleven#inazuma eleven go#inazuma 11#inazuma 11 go#ina11#ina11 go#i find go kevin so funny#he shows up. gives his student a snack. leaves#dressed in his little mafia suit for some reason#doesn't even bother to learn about the newest football corruption debacle#and if he does he simply does not have time for it#hilarious man#rain art

and if i committed crimes bc of this blanket, what then.

its not done yet and it's killing me 😭 the vision I had for the border just doesn't seem to be working unfortunately. I do like the blue tho at least, so i can work with it, I'm just oof ugh grr.
#the blue is part of another 'perfect phasing' yarn that transitions from blue to whiteish to orange#abd IDEALLY i would have the orange be in the outer side of the border but if i keep trying to get that far#into the cake#then the border is going to end up super thick and i dont really want it to be super thick#bc it would detract from the dragonflies ive been agonizing over for the last month and a half#crochet#shh ac

Kamen Rider Lumi <3
he/they
They are based off of a lightning bug and glow in the dark! It's a shame they shine best in the dark though, considering he's scotophobic
The design is meant to resemble a rain coat and rain boots, since he works as a meteorologist! (also not pictured is his weapon, a lightning rod staff) (i will get around to designing that...later)
#kr lumi#<-tag for the whole ocverse if i ever get around to writing more#kamen rider oc#scribbles#Hes on artfight!! decided to join artfight this year and this is my only guy atm#but that will change eventually#i do have some stuff for a dragonfly themed secondary#ill make a post for her when i get around to designing her

« Because he doesn’t want to be too loud he doesn’t use his hairdryer. Instead he drapes his towel around his shoulders and lets his hair drip and drip and drip. »
from dragonfly year by @c-kiddo. this image really gets to me every time… the lonely quiet of trying to not get in the way. it really resonates. beautiful story.
(i hope it is ok to tag you in fanart!)
#hopefully the first of a series of illustrations… i hopee#i want to get better at capturing what i see#conveying it#the feelings and stuff#its always very difficult to get things across#thats art!#so illustrating stories is a good exercise#dragonfly year#caduceus clay#critical role#mine
