#Christmas and new years was crazy for me

[overanalysingfandoms]

In the Scarian/Third Life Robin Hood AU I've decided that the way Scar communicates with Grian when he's in the castle is by writing notes which he ties to his arrows and fires up to Grian's window from the forest outside the castle walls

Sometimes they're love notes, sometimes they're secret plans, sometimes they're letters for Lizzie (from Joel) or Pearl, sometimes they're just Scar telling Grian about the interesting stuff happening outside the castle because, as the Prince, Grian's stuck inside and Scar knows how bored he gets and wants to cheer him up

Grian absolutely adores the letters, even if Scar nearly gave him a heart attack the first couple times he 'sent' them and, though he would never admit it, he keeps all of the letters and arrows in a locked trunk under his bed

When he's upset or having a bad day Grian will sometimes lock the door to his room, bring out the trunk, reread some of the letters and maybe stroke the fletching at the end, thinking of how soft it is and how much he wishes he was with Scar...

LOL at Angela’s story about Damien on Perfect Person (48:30).

Amazing. 10/10. No notes. Hell, I was looking for the kudos button like I was on AO3.

Ok, this made me laugh.

I'd be a liar if I said I didn't catch the stereotypical 'fluff' of it all! (AO3 has rotted us <3) It totally reads as a Hallmark Christmas movie. No getting around it, it just does.

Kudos Angela, Kudos to you.

Predictions based on Pinterest:

1) Adrie loses her first tooth and Miss Mouse has to make it extra cute & over the top

2) Adrie gets ahold of the scissors and gives herself a haircut (as I did at that age lmaoo)

3) is this marathon occurring on Valentine’s Day because 👀

4) pregnancy (scare???)

5) Adrie gets a hyper-fixation on McDonald’s after one happy meal and an hour in the ball pit. Maybe even their first family outing.

oooo, some interesting predictions in here!

the great thing about being the only one who actually puts the ornaments on the christmas tree is that you can put all your favorites right in the front and no one will say shit!!

Back to the grindstone tomorrow 😭

Five more days of work, then heading downstate for Youmacon! (Yes, I am in countdown mode lol)

Still working on the other Ship Ask Meme that I am being self-indulgent on. Trying to have it finished before I go down. This one shouldn't take as long, since a lot of the questions relate to future chapters stuff and I am trying not to spoil anything. At the current moment, Atem and Bakura are barely tolerable of one another.

May not feel great rn but tomorrow I get to see my best friend and we’re exchanging gifts and then afterward I’m going with my sister to pick up a cat

hows about 2 + 12 for the ask game ? :+))

2. Which tf character design do you think would work better with a different color palette?

ohhh hum. honestly, bw silverbolt... his design itself is S-tier to me but his colors are lacking a bit 2 me... he's just a bit dull! i wouldve appreciated a bit something more to make it all pop...

^this is just from like 2 minutes playing around w a color palette generator thing so take it with a grain of salt but a lighter color + a splash of wine-ish red (or similar) to really make the gold pop... i think it could be cool!

12. List a piece of art not from transformers that you think fits a tf character!

ok i wanted to challenge myself a bit with this cuz theres plenty of more "traditional"/objective art pieces that i associate with tfs, but i dont think ive ever given any thought to associations i have with more subjective expressionist type art, and then that led me down kind of a rabbit hole so im gonna put all this under a cut :p

(have absolutely lost my mind trying to find the name of this piece -- as far as i can tell it's an unnamed jackson pollock)

^i think rodimus would appreciate a lot of ideas introduced into the art world by abstract expressionism, but especially those introduced by artist's like pollock - the emphasis on an artist's movement + intent over the 'beauty' of the piece they created. i think the idea of intent > results would line up pretty well with his general worldview!

(Sky, Illumine, 1985-86, by Richard Pousette-Dart)

i think nautica would really love more intricate pieces like this, pieces that almost trick the eye into seeing layered complexities where there are none - i think she'd be fascinated by the way they seem to transform depending on how closely you examine them.

(Violin and Candlestick, 1910, by Georges Braque)

this piece/era was one of the hardest to think up a tf for, just because im particularly fond of it, but i genuinely think primal would be a bit of an analytical cubism fan. the examination of an object from dozens of viewpoints, all contained within a single image, would, i think, fascinate him. he'd appreciate the intrinsic overlap of intellectual + emotional aspects of it - the painstaking study of an object from every angle, depicting every aspect of it in soft, hazy lines; the bottom section of this piece in particular makes me feel as if braques simply plucked the image of the violin straight out from his memory - the juxtaposition of the focus upon an almost familiar aspect of the instrument, versus the haze of ambiguity and strangeness brought about by the colors + seemingly random placement of lines breaking the images apart, is just beautiful to me. anyways, i think it would be right up primal's alley! the inseparability of science(/analytical study) and emotion is a belief i think he's very staunch in.

It is officially the end of an era.
