#so this is a simplified version of that

when they ask me what my favorite noah kahan song is but i can’t say your needs, my needs because it reminds me exactly of how i was exactly a year ago and nothing will ever be more freeing than the sensation of scream-singing that song live in concert, surrounded by hundreds of people, all at once feeling alone with the lyrics and while at the same time everyone in the crowd became one and also the “plot” of your needs, my needs heavily reflects the plot of dead poets society (at least in my eyes) with the soft, gentle, sentimental beginning verse/chorus, reflecting todd’s blooming friendship with neil. then, so very suddenly, the bridge (?) starts and neil has suddenly died. todd’s life sounds exactly like both the instrumentation and lyrics at the drop. the endings are also very reminiscent of each other. finally, lyrically, “your needs, my needs” represents todd and neil’s individual needs. from the perspective of todd, “your needs” refers to neil. neil needed to be let go. he needed to die. if he hadn’t, he would have lived an unhappy life and would have never felt truly free. to neil, death was the only solution. the only way he would ever be truly free was in death. to todd, “my needs” refers to todd’s need for neil. neil was the spark in his life, the reason todd lived. he helped todd come out of his shell, he was always there for him, he was his emotional pedestal. todd needs neil, but he has to inevitably accept that no matter how much neil knew that, neil needed to die.

so i just say maine.

Low key very tired of people responding to veilguard criticism with something along the lines of “lol these people have no media literacy, didn’t you understand what the game was telling you??” Yes, yes I understand what the game was trying to tell me. That doesn’t mean I have to like it or the way the writers went about it.

Also the whole argument of “well, the dragon age fandom proved they couldn’t handle xyz controversial character/element of the story so that’s why veilguard had very little references to those things” kinda grinds my gears a bit. I don’t think it can be proven with 100% certainty what writing decisions were made based on past fandom reactions to the other games, but I do think it would be an incredibly shitty move to simplify or remove complexity from a story just because there might be a portion of the audience who doesn’t get it. “The fandom couldn’t even handle Vivienne” Yeah a good amount of people dismissed her as a selfish snooty bitch, but I didn’t and a lot of other people didn’t and to remove complex and interesting characters like her on the basis that enough people “won’t get it” just feels like a disservice to all of us.

Did a redesign of Connor’s mystery wife! She’s gotta be my oldest OC, I literally designed her like a week after I got into AC back in February 2019. I know @ramshackledtrickster has posted her a bunch, but I wanted to share her on here too :3

Her name is Tekonwenaharake! That’s more of a placeholder name, really, since there’s a living Mohawk person with the name, but I don’t wanna just refer to her as “T” or “Connor’s wife,” so I’ll be tagging her like this if I post her more!

These drawings came about because I was playing around with drawing her more historically accurate. Eventually, I found a happy medium between her original design and historical records from the time (paintings, clothes, etc.). I really loved how this turned out and I hope you guys do too!

Also fun fact: I always try to make her look like an older version of Io:nhiòte since I imagine she looks a lot like her mom. I imagine even the earrings were gifts to Io:nhiòte that she then wears in the AC Reflections comic!

Pyrite and 316! I consulted an expert* and spent waaayyy too long rendering these key designs based on his words of wisdom

Pyrite looks like gold on the surface but turns dark if you grind and polish it

316 steel is surgical-grade steel commonly used for implants and body modifications and can be anondized to create different colors

Fiber arts tumblr is the only place I can say "I'm not selling this for any less than $200" where people are more likely to go "oh. yeah 😔" than just straight up balk at the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a tiny 5 inch plushie (that has 4 different colors) (handmade without a pattern and nothing else like it on the market) (atypical design) (took at least 6 hours)
