(114) ah

Loosely Inspired by that one sad baby BOB gif going around. I was gonna make Soul sad but I felt too bad for him.

[sailingthecelestialseas]

HMSW TMA entity alignments please!

okok. rubs my hands together

heart i had to think about for a bit, but i think he's the vast. the vast is all about feeling like you're small and meaningless in the universe. a lot of his songs focus on insignificance. just apathy is the most obvious example, being all about how insignificant everything is and how nothing matters, a common theme of the vast. there's also good day, where heart flips between "it likes to say that it is nothing" and "it insists that it is something," both resigned to his meaningless existence and desperate to prove he has meaning. there's a touch of end in there, with mentions of "everything will turn to dust" and entropy, but the end is a passive fear, and heart certainly isn't passive. in fact, I'd argue his attempts at hurting mind fall under the vast too - he feels insignificant while mind acts so important, so he tries to drag mind down to prove that he's just as helpless. there's also some buried in there, with the entire "being in a hole" thing and feeling suffocated, but this is way too long so I'll leave it there {hah}

mind is the web. there's a touch of the eye, of course, but knowledge isn't what makes him scary - it's his manipulation, his power over others. the recurring ruler of everything motif {within the song itself and him singing it in other places} is somewhat self explanatory. he needs to be in control of everything, to pull the strings and be the... well, ruler of everything. mind is referred to constantly in this way, especially by heart: "see how the mind tricks the soul," "controlled by digits," "take control, let's see how you fare." he's convinced his methods are the best and most effective, and he's willing to exert control over others in order to ensure he gets his way. at the same time, he's trapped in this role himself, feeling the fear as well as projecting it onto the others. he feels powerless, so he takes that power by force, which is consistent with what we see of web avatars - their controlling nature stems from a deep fear of being controlled themselves.

soul is the stranger. soul's entire thing is being the "identity" part of whole, therefore being a not-quite-whole. the identity of whole without an identity of his own, a mimic instead of an individual. and he's treated as essentially a surrogate whole throughout the narrative, furthering the theme of being an impersonator taking the role of whole in his absence. soul becoming or representing whole but not truly being him because it's lacking the full spectrum of humanity. not quite whole, not quite human, not quite anything else. something in the shape of a full person that goes through the motions of being a person but without true humanity. furthermore, soul treats this loop like a neverending performance. he's "paraded," he tells the listener to enjoy the show, and in the bidding he's clearly playing it up for the audience. the stranger has a heavy emphasis on playing a role, which is exactly what soul is doing throughout the entire album.

and whole is the lonely. from what we see of whole's life, particularly in hidden in the sand but also in special and taken for a ride, he's a fundamentally lonely person. he suffers from a deep sense of alienation from others, struggling to connect with others. at the same time, his isolation is also self imposed - he admits that the rejection is "what I was convinced," not an accurate telling of events, as well as saying he remembers "practicing most weekends at the expense of spending joyful time with friends." he shuts himself away from others to avoid the risk of being shut out by them instead. he convinces himself that it's the best option and finds some level of comfort in the isolation. whole as a construct is another story, and honestly with how metaphorical the concept of whole is, you could argue basically anything. so I'm sticking with what we see of whole as a person ^-^

[sailingthecelestialseas]

oooooh! okay okay, so

Soul is stranger coded, he'd both fear it immensely (being identity-less) but also be such a good avatar molding his skin like clay to try and imitate the face he knows he's supposed to be seeing in the mirror. Imagine, if you will: Harmonia who works in a coffee shop and often see Soul who's been trying to kick his energy drink habit by transitioning to coffee and tea. One day Soul comes in and something about his face is... wrong. But Harmonia doesn't want to be rude by bringing it up. As he sips his coffee, he just stares at Harmonia trying to memorize his features. Day by day Soul's face contorts until he looks just like Harmonia. One day he goes to get a coffee and Harmonia is gone. Guided by some unknown instinct, Soul goes to the back, slips on the apron with Harmonia's name tag, and takes his place. This isn't right, Soul didn't want to replace Harmonia! Maybe if he keeps working, while he's standing at the counter, Harmonia will walk in like Soul would.

The rest of this is rather spoiler-y up to S4 for TMA so beware

Mind could be an Eye avatar, but I think Web suits him too. He'd probably be a mix. Not surprising he's Archivist coded. He craves for control so that his secrets and weaknesses don't surface. I could see him collecting Leitners and artifacts in order to better control how the entities affect him. He'd very quickly take on powers not realizing that he is in fact being puppeted. He thought the entities to thoughtless since he built his own classification from scratch. the web, of course, has been pulling threads since the beginning and didn't let him know how the Web truly functions.

Heart has been a challenge for me to figure out. The Lonely is very Apathy coded, for the sake of weaving a story I like to think he's running from it and into one of the more animalistic fears I want to say the Hunt for the purposes of: could you imagine a Heart who functions almost like Daisy? Who is trying to hunt down Mind who's the Archivist? Who flings himself into endless chases trying to run away from other entities? He gets looped into the fuckery that is the Institute, and lashes out whenever he gets the chance. Maybe he blinds himself to escape the institute once they figure that out. He's still an incredible shot despite the lack of eyes.

The Forest for the Trees Jashlings would be:

Green - Desolation, I feel this one speaks for itself. Burning the forest for the trees. Something that once was peaceful burned to the ground, a life so young already stained red with destruction.

Red - Slaughter, senseless violence that lashes out at others and himself. The guitar smashing in the music video is what is giving that energy. I was very tempted to give him Desolation too but he's far less controlled that Green, his violence has less of a target.

Blue- Lonely coded, so so very lonely coded. Living in nostalgia until he's no more. It's simply an effect of plugging that cartridge into the DS.

And some assorted lil guys with less justification just vibes:

Fine I'm Fine/Rose is vast coded because vastards are usually full of whimsy due to finding a certain meaning in meaninglessness.

YSLLB is rather Buried coded the pressure is crushing. I could also see spiral.

20xx is flesh coded because body building (teehee)

THDPH/Devil is incredibly spiral coded. Extinction could also work quite well considering savages.

The Narrator (GWotNLH) is dark coded, leader of the monsters who lurk at night.

Mori is end coded.

I'm bored, send me your cccc/jashverse tma entity assignments

It's all bleached :) I survived, now I can dye it fun colors

Bleaching my hair at home for the first time

The test strand is drying, and I'm really nervous. My friend is helping me and she's really knowledgeable.

It seems to be fine, a little thinner texture-wise, but if I get the nerve to let her bleach the rest, I can have pink hair!

And I want pink hair even if it makes me nervous. I won't always get to have pink hair, but I can have it now so I should enjoy that.

Anyways, hair grows back right? I've ruin it and cut it all off before! Last time it was red, and then I used Splat (bad, do not, it fucked up my hair), and then it was purple and blue, and then I got to have super short hair!!

This'll be fun

Clawing a biting about Be Born, Storm and a Spring, and The Mind Electric

To preface: One thing that I've personally attached to is Heart has to have some part in pulling himself out of Apathy. Soul and Mind can offer a hand to pull him out, but he needs to take it in one way or another.

And so, this trio of songs isn't Mind senselessly berating Heart, he has a method that he gets far far far too caught up in and an approach that is far too blunt. Or at least, that what it is to me <3

Heart won't listen, Heart has given up, Heart is giving Mind control of things Mind cannot handle (Though he'd never admit that) (Take control, let's see how you fare). The Heart Acoustic leads into Be Born with Mind struggling for control, his desire granted by the monkey's paw. His voice glitches as he speaks, unable to handle the weight of being the logic and emotions. This won't do - logically, that is - so maybe he can make Heart see that slacking off his responsibilities entirely is illogical. But his words are too blunt, and Heart's already built such thick walls curled up at the bottom of this hole. He won't listen, Heart only digs himself in deeper, emotions are Mind's job now.

[Will you be ours, or will you die?] Ultimatum offered, no response given.

So, as Mind said in The Whole World and You: [You played Dr. Jekyll, so I played Mr. Hyde]. Heart wants a bad guy? He'll do it, he'll disparage the harmony they once sung about in Spring and a Storm, he'll belittle and dismiss Heart properly. But this song and dance is intoxicating, a rush of power, a reminder he is The Ruler of Everything. You didn't think he wanted Heart out of that hole because of pity or - god forbid - Empathy, did you?

(What do you see behind those dead, leaden eyes?). Victory, Heart's snapped back at him, pulled himself half out of apathy just for that jab. It's a minor win, but enough for Mind to get a foothold, loft Heart out of his rotting. Like this, he can reshape Heart. Like this, maybe he'll listen. Maybe that'll be enough for Harmony, he won't let this cycle continue. [Never again]. Outshone and cloaked in black, Heart is more bearable.

And so his strategies mix when he finally presents his case to the audience and Soul in The Mind Electric. Of course his argument is sound, what he's doing has worked so far, right? Ignore the fact the sun is drowning out the moon, if he doesn't outshine Heart then emotions will overtake everything. And we've seen what being driven by emotion did to their Whole. He's not being emotional, he's not high off power, he's doing the closest thing they have to right! Or so he thinks.

And when Heart tries to start fighting back like he would pre-Apathy, Mind does the same. That's what got them this far, in a way. Heart will either go back to bending to his will or be abandoned.

Soul disagrees.

Jash and the Jashlings

School is hell, I'm going to create self care/comfort character day thingamajigs for myself based off the jashlings

Ideas is mostly hms atm because I am treating myself

Like, a three day routine focusing on healing different things. Heart day is about cozying and creating a safe enough environment to feel; Mind day is about doing healthy things, healthy body healthy mind; Soul day is about self expression (code word for I'm dyeing my hair again).

or something like that it's just a silly idea

[sailingthecelestialseas]

@hmsdoodlin hehe drew fanart for ur really really cool and swag au 👍👍 hope u like em

[sailingthecelestialseas]

Kind of sounds like acid reflux? It can sometimes feel like a tightening in your neck and chest and it's pretty common

sometimes when I'm sitting down drawing or doing whatever my chest starts feeling really tight and I can't really breathe and I feel my heart racing but it's not and I feel stressed but I'm not

it sucks

[sailingthecelestialseas]

people on twitter liked these :3c

(psst. minds a robot so he cant Get top scars like heart and soul can. he just has to replace his chest plate. so soul drew them on for him. runs away really fast)

The Soul Beast. Coming to theaters near you.

I’ve never really made an AU before so forgive me, this is based off of Murders from Miracle Musical.

(It was supposed to be really realistic and scary but all I can draw are doodles, hence the tense song vs silly creature lol. Pretend his big and terrifying.)

Right before the 1,000th loop Soul breaks down, he watches as mindscape crumbles around him while Heart and Mind fight. Instead of the loop resetting however, he hits his limit and abstracts into some sort of monstrous beast.

Heart and Mind only realize when it’s far too late, watching on in horror as a confused and scared Soul starts to thrash around and panic like a wild animal. One of them gets hurt trying to calm him down/figure out what’s happening and all hell runs loose. Soul chases the two into the woods, aggravated and not recognizing them.

Eventually they lose him, having to pilot Whole alone. The mindscape begins to deteriorate, Heart and Mind juggling between keeping Whole alive and stable, rebuilding their relationship, and figuring out what happened to their Soul.

They don’t have a lot of time. What’s a man without his soul after all?

Beast Soul doodles, still trying to figure out his design. His head quite literally ‘splits into two’ to form a mouth. No idea where the mane came from, he’s not based off of a lion, it was just the first thing that came to mind and now I can’t get rid of it. Still a work in progress!!! He might look completely different in the future. Im drawing/writing with vibes not planning.

(Design ideas appreciated)
