taking poor edward too seriously as is my wont but just thinking a lot lately about the horror of traumatic abuse that doesn't show on the body, the horror of being in a terrible situation but you Look Fine, the headcanons of Edward's weird strength and speed etc being due to Orphanage Experiments, the fact that despite him almost certainly having been mistreated there he doesn't seem to bear visible scars from his time as an Orphanage Boy, surely most people would at LEAST come out looking haunted or broken in some way but he still looks like a rosy-cheeked innocent boy despite everything that's happened to him and everything he's had to become in response……. and thinking about the fact that he goes by "Poor Edward" and wears a literal tragedy mask at all times. he wants to be a nightmare, he wants to be feared and powerful, but what he's decided to make his appearance forever is just something that looks like he ought to. Just thinking about the idea that it's ugly and strange and incongruous with the whole rest of his "elegant" presentation, but on some level he needs people to look at him and know that something's wrong with him, because without the mask, nobody could tell.

As decades have gone on, Ellie's meticulous journaling has never changed. Though the use of language has gotten lax over the years...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVOLUTION!!!

Happy Anniversary to my favorite storyline in the game, and Happy Birthday (in a way) to my favorite character <3

If you know anything about me you know I LOVED Evolution (understatement of the century), I've been waiting 6 months to make art for its anniversary. It means so much to me, I could go on but I don't want to get weepy. Just know that the Youthful Naturalist is very near and dear to my heart.

debating whether i can afford a commission or not, decide to treat myself. send a tumblr dm to ask about getting one and the message seems to just get completely eaten and not send. i guess this is a sign to not buy a commission 😭

Too busy on that grindset? Stop a moment and smell the illegaliterature.

it really is all about love, when you think about it. not just in that the bazaar hungers for love stories and that you constantly find yourself involved in tales of tragic love, but also in the way that tending to a friend's wounds and nightmares is a core game mechanic. you know.

A friend suggested that people should try and draw their FLOC with Edward in the style of the Leyendecker advertisement below because of the way the darkness engulfs the man's coat and then I got very carried away.... oops oops oops <3

In preparation for Artfight I've finally put together a proper Atropos reference.

Now everyone can enjoy all their most notable features. Such as their cute face! And their scraggly hair! And their cute cat!

September: You called a secret meeting? January: Yes. Close the door. September: (Closes the door) January, from inside: September. Get in here. And *then* close the door.

Lottie modelling a parabolan orange-apple dress for @neathyfashioncoalition, inspired by this dinner dress. Paired with a warbler feather and lily hat, designed to sharply increase your nightmares. The things we do for fashion.
