An incredibly lazy wee doodle of barn swallows since I'm struggling to sleep and going back to my teenage ritual of drawing birds far too late into the night. Where I live, it will soon be time for the swallows to leave and make their bi-annual 8000 mile migration all the way to South Africa. Summer goes with them, and already my late North European nights seem to be turning dark so soon. A couple of months ago the night would just be a muted blue until dawn would crack with a skylark's song at 3am, and from now it will just be a couple of months until the black sets in before the afternoon ends.
It genuinely makes me want to cry thinking about these matchbox sized little beings throwing themselves into that endless blue all in pursuit of airborne insects, those small bodies making their way over the widening, waterless Sahara, that 40 day excursion that, by mid-October, will be over. How long a journey that seems, how short for a being smaller than my hand.
I'll miss them as much as I'll miss the sun until my late-March birthday comes along again and the spring sky is briefly interrupted by their sudden return, their tumbling bodies celebrating the world waking up again, back - somehow, dare I project a sense of sentiment, remembering - to the very same nests they'd left behind just months ago.
#my art#my witterings#im very sentimental and sleep deprived and i keep wanting to sob about birds lol#but its that grateful desperate glimmery feeling of just.#i guess awe that i share this planet and this movement of seasons and rhyme of life with all these beautiful things#i wonder if birds feel something like a brewing wanderlust as the time comes#i wonder if they feel that same tug i do in my heart everytime summer comes along#that sense of impending flight that need to go into the night and wake up somewhere new#somewhere achingly familiar#the way the pressure and the smell of the air changes#swallows are passerines too so they likely evolved from australia however many million of years ago#what drives birds to make those journeys#what must it feel like to follow the wind currents and the stars and the magnetic pull of the earth#sigh sigh sigh#i know it isnt all romance but sighhh if i cant romantacise these wee flittery dinosaurs what can i romantacise#imagine everything those swallows have seen#over vineyards over endless fields over desert#the atlas mountains#the congo rainforest#skirting the cape#just so impossible to imagine the bredth of that experience#all in such a wee bird#aw for it to come back to its own wee rooftop eave#and i get the chance to see them? every year? listen to their joyful little twittery song and witness the young finding their wings in june#thank you thank you thank you

Feixiao eating week old hotpot against Jiaoqiu's recommendation because "it's fine, it's got chili in it".
Feixiao refusing to let Jiaoqiu help her with her food poisoning because "it's fine, it's just a workout for my gut".

🤔 this boy ain’t right………
#okay I swear I have a lot of thoughts beyond get this man strapped#or hee hee spooky scary cannibalism#like I think his meditations on life and death#is really interesting especially with these lines here - like this is a character so utterly devestated and crushed by grief#and yet he talks here about how life was valued and seen differently in the past - again a man immersed in a lot of traditional beliefs#that he often ascribes to and takes on himself#and yet AND YET#we know how fucked up he is by it all while also having absolutely no qualms about consumption#circling that trauma baybeeeeee#god I really hope he is eating Borisin I will SCREAM#Jiaoqiu#HSR

This man needs the strap im sorry I’ve never seen someone so in need of a good strapping. It would HEAL him
#need him swinging from the ceiling Korekiyo execution style#how can a healer be healed the game asks in a desperate pleading tone#the strap#that’s IT#I still can’t believe how misled by his burst animation I was#listen I am like. I basically assign every character as a switch bc I think arbitrarily shoving people into one set box is Silly but#in this case………#Jiaoqiu#HSR

Anatomy practice featuring Jiaoqiu. As soon as he talked about enjoying the 'numbing and stinging' sensations of certain medicines I knew he was THAT kind of freak.
#jiaoqiu#hsr#honkai star rail#my art#i feel like hed enjoy subspace a lot#take a break from the self loathing for a minute#let someone else have complete control so he doesnt have to think or worry or have the opportunity to fuck up#he'd absolutely get gagged though 2.5 seconds in though because there's no way he's keeping his mouth shut#cant believe how gaslit i was by his burst LMAO i was so ready to simp for him#but HE'S the ultimate simp holy rip

I love your takes on Aventurine and look forward to your Aventurine C-PTSD meta!
Awww oh my gosh - thank you so much 😭 Aventurine means so much to me so it also means a lot that you enjoy my interpretation / witterings on him aaah. I do still want to do a full write up on his C-PTSD soon - I really need to just carve out time to sit through 2.1 again to fully solidify and evidence my thoughts. Thank you though, Anon, you’ve certainly fired up my energy for it again 🫶
#nice things#my witterings#I have a couple of other wee essays I’d like to write up as well#like Topaz’s pig symbolism and Aventurine’s peacock#-cracks fingers- I just need to get my articulating brain in gear again haha

#Aventurine#Ratio#HSR#rat piss#man………….. I fucking love this so much#Aventurine as one of Ratio’s most challenging puzzles#chaos theory to his lovely little logistics#the wriggly shape that refuses to be caught and wriggles free from any grid#I love all the variations of him in this rubix cube as well because he really is all of them#the child the shell the villain melded together#untangling him I think isn’t separating them out at all but merging them like Ratio’s doing here#god I love this & I love them aaaaghhhh

remembrance
#jingliu#feixiao#HSR#OH OH OHHHHHH THE WAY THIS IS ACTIVATING SOMETHING IN ME#FUCK.#SHE DOES LOOK LIKE BAIHENG HHHHHHHHH#both of them entangled in the slaughter of the borision#both them ‘abominations’ in their own mind#struck through with grief and loss#one who copes by becoming ‘carefree’ and dissociative and the other so mired in her trauma that it’s all she thinks about#the past and the present#guuuuuhhhhhhhhhh fuck I really want them to interact in canon

Drawing Sunday every Sunday until Sunday drops.
July catchup. Entries, 9 through 14.
#Sunday#HSR#AHHHHHHH VIIIIIIIIIIIIII#I cannot believe you drew 6 fucking glorious Sundays in basically one session holy CHRIST#your line work has improved so much but especially your EXPRESSIONS#like his wee smirk? his griftgasm?? his fucking desperate pleading face CHRIST#AND you pumped out a full body like it was nothing? oh my days#I really love the way you played with the different line colours as well to evoke different feelings#the almost chromatic abboration in the second piece for example really gives this discordant almost pained effect to me#and the sweep from light to dark in his wee smirk creates this dichotomy and fissure which is so appropriate for his character#even your wee chibi is so good like ahhhh it’s so squishy and adorable ADNDNDNDNND#making charming wee chibs is challenge:impossible to me so I’m just so impressed haha#I’m so glad you’re drawing him againnnnn I love him 💜
