Spaceverse Phanos / Gaia sketches!

This features a lot of paineater characters hailing from Phanos, or folks that currently live there too, along with some characters who originally came from Gaia. This category has a lot of overlap with the tons of Faer sketches that are coming up, as a lot of characters have moved from one planet to the other over the course of the RP, and family ties stretch across both. Sketches that were already in a previous batch or saved for the Faer ones won't be included here for now.

In order, we have: Tarsus, Agneta aka Nettie, Thea, Titus, Kara, Diana (dating Al from Phanos), Cyrus, Kyra, Tigerlily (her mother Dahlia moved to Phanos and married Cyrus), Damon, Magnus, Fiona, Eamon, Cassian Ketos (from Faer, but just happened to be on this page), Rory, Divya (also a Faer character), Donovan, his daughter Hazel, older Hazel and Kara, Hazel with Kara again, Jean Paul (from Gaia), Helena, Titus, Adam with his kids Luisa, Dawa and Tiago (aka Tiggy), Adam with Tiggy, Adam solo, , Corrine, and Seamus.

Then we have some older sketches, including: Adam with his mom Athena (in previous verse, her name was Anna), his dad Tyran, Tarsus, Tyran and Adam using their powers, Anton, Dr. Dorian with his daughter Marta (Gaian but they later move to Phanos), Alex and Fabi Dionne (ditto), an older Alex, Kliff, Pauline, Jean Paul, Pauline, and Ernesto (in this verse, he's a phantasm from Illumina, but this is an older sketch of him from an older story.) These still need Spaceverse AU versions, but I wanted to archive these older drawings for reference.

Sakume owns a lot of these characters, including Tarsus, Titus, Kara, Cyrus, Tyran, Athena, and Damon, and I own the others here.

Top 10 Best Ships

Some of these ships are canon and some are not keep in mind these are my personal opinions feel free share yours but keep them respectful.

#10 Kara & James (Superman)

Ugh why did this couple have to be shoved a side for all so Kara could date some boring mayo boy? Season 1 was beautifullly building Kara Olsen to be a beautiful healthy relationship. James and Kara supported one another through hard times. For example, when James was still dating Lucy and Kara still had a job at Catco and they were boxing out frustration. Kara was punching an old car and James was boxing a punching bag. Kara and James were also able to have meaningful conversations about how women and how black men weren’t “supposed to be” angry in public. Also Kara is a litteral aileen who felt lost on another world and James was a black man who grew up going to a predominantly white school and had wanted to see people who look like him. Ugh such potential between these two but nope James was hard cored Laurel Lanced.

#9 Dinah Laurel Lance & James Olsen (Flarrowverse)

I crack ship these two hardcore. Plus Katie and Mechad are friends in irl so I would love to see two work together. I also have retconned Siren X Laurel as a rebel to the Nazis and she fell in love with James and they fought along side together against the Nazis together because my girl is not allowed to be a Nazi. I also think these two would be a good lawyer photographer team up. James could go out as a spy and take photos to help catch bad guys and give that to Laurel as evidence. Anyways these two deserve better and I can’t stand how fandom and the show treats him.

#8 Logan & Rory (Gilmore Girls)

Oh Amy why did you have to go and ruin this couple in the revival. To me Rory and Logan was probably the healthiest relationship that I have seen Rory have. Logan helped push Rory out of her comfort zone for example, “You Jump I Jump Jack” he isn’t afraid to call Rory out for her hypocrisy. He called out the fact she was just as privileged as he is. However she doesn’t even realize her privledge. He has treated Lorelei and Luke with respect by inviting him up to his vacation home and even though Luke was being a grump Logan was still nice and kind enough to help Luke buy a gift for Lorelei. Also a few things it is not Logan’s fault that his own dad told Rory she didn’t have it and it was not Logan’s idea to steal the yacht. Anyways these two deserved better.

#7 Paige & Rainer (Famous in Love)

Now at first I didn’t really ship these two but the build for these two was a nice slow burn. I also got the impression that I wasn’t supposed to like Rainer because he slept around but over time he grew on me. I loved the friendship between these two. Paige was there for Rainer when he was dealing with alcoholism and dealing with other stuff like Jordan banging his mom. Then when Jake was off flirting with Billie and lost Paige at a party Rainer was kind enough to bring her home. They also both deal with toxic relationships and both need to get the hell out and they seem to be good for each other.

#6 Jordan & Tangey (Famous in Love)

Man I love these two a lot. Despite their problems they have I Iove it. I love how Jordan is willing to comit to Tangey and Tangey still loves him. Even when these two were broken up they still proved they cared about each other. For example Tangey taking care of Jordan’s hand after he smashed it and Jordan coming to her rescue when Pablo was terrorizing her. They have worked through their issues and I think they would be great and I don’t want Marlene King messing it up.

#5 Cassie and Paige (Famous in Love)

Yes I know not a canon couple but I think these two have great chemistry and despite the one fight they had because Cassie was jealous I love how they are always there for one another. I love how Paige is always is trying to include Cassie into her life and isn’t a show off about it. I also like how that even when Cassie and Paige were mad at each other and Cassie ghosted her for about a week Paige show concern. Cassie was also good in listening to Paige about her issues with Jake and comforted her. I also love how these two hug and care for each other. Hugs to both of them.

#4 Devon and Raven (That’s so Raven/Raven’s Home)

Why the hell did these two have to break up? Maybe they will let Raven and Chelsea be a couple lol but probably not. Anyways these two were great together because this couple helped break the trope of of two best friends falling in love because one was a girl and one was a boy I didn’t really care for Raven and Eddie as a couple. Devon was so sweet to Raven and Raven really loved Devon. Devon also put up with a lot of Raven’s antics and it takes a special person for that. Now these two have beautiful twin children together but sadly Devon moved away. I also love the fact that even though these two divorced there is a mutual respect between them and that you don’t always have to hate your ex.

#3 Shawnangela Shawn x Angela (Boy Meets World 🌍)

I am so bitter about these two! This was such an amazing couple for so many reasons. Let’s me start off by saying things I loved about Angela. I loved how Angela the only black female character on the show showed and will continue to show many young black girls that have watched and will watch this show that someone will love them for who they are. I also loved how Angela stayed true to herself and didn’t feel the need to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards and I wish her essay “Maintaining black identity while having very white friends” could have been an episode. Now for what I love about this couple. Both Shawn and Angela had a two week dating rule because they had a fear of rejection and abandonment. However when they dated they wanted a strong relationship like Cory and Topanga. Their relationship went through so much, alcholism both being abandon by their mothers and growing closer because of it. Shawn understanding Angela needing to spend time with her father (so pissed he didn’t go fan fic idea for later). Angela was also right there by his side when he found out the woman he thought was his birth mom wasn’t actually his birth mom and still by his side after he became an acholic but after he shoved her into a door he stopped drinking for her. These two talked about marriage and lived together and even Eric said they should have been married. Ugh but Michael Jacobs fucked it up for a mayo couple.

# 2 Clois Lois and Clark (Man of Steel/Batman vs Superman)

I love this couple in general but Henry Cavil and Amy Adams are my favorite idderation of this couple for so many reasons. I love how Lois was given more to do and I respect how they took the element of Lois not knowing Clark Kent and Superman are the same just because one persona wears glasses and the other doesn’t. She is able to fully accept Clark for who he is, without half truths. They’re established as equals but in different ways. Lois accepts Clark as an Aileen first. This shows she isn’t afraid of the unknown and as a reporter it is her job to investigate the unknown. She is brave and strong and I love her line “Welcome to the Planet” I also love how Lois isn’t throwing her self out of 10 story windows or jumping off bridges just to see Clark become Superman. The way she comforts Clark after he kills Zod is so beautiful and it shows she really cares for him. Clark respects Lois and treats her like such a princess. He buys flowers and enjoys cooking for his woman. He expressed his concern for her when she is involved in something dangerous. They are able to have open communication because Lois knows Clark and Superman are the same person and that to me make for a very healthy relationship. Oh and for the record I also thought that Lois being a reporter and her dad and sister being in the military could have served as a link between the Justice League the Military and the Civilans since she is a reporter she could have gotten her own arc that way. Just my personal opinion.

Finally #1 WestAllen Barry & Iris (The Flash)

If you guys follow me or read my blogs on here you guys know I absolutely adore this couple so damn much. I loved the take on going to live with a girl you had a crush on because rarely that story gets told. Also no WA are not siblings legally or genetically so don’t come at me with that insest bullshit. We all talk about how much Barry adores Iris but can we talk about how much Iris adores Barry? I miss the moments when Iris would smile through Barry rambling about something super geeky and goes out of her way to buy something for Barry like that microscope. I love Iris but she is a terrible gift giver even Candice said this herself. She was the only one to believe Barry about his dad being innocent and she stuck by his side in school when he got bullied. Then the way she looked at him when Barry lost his memory and was enjoyed seeing him light and happy. I love the fact Iris has to stand on her toes to hug Barry. Now for Barry I love the way he adores Iris to death. When she is in danger basically drops everything to keep her safe even though she tells him not to. He straight up told her that she was his lightening rod and they are soul mates through out Earths time and space. They work through issues on their relationship and they are an example of a healthy relationship.

Rory Gimore Reading Challenge

I put it there has a reminder to myself that I want to read more (so much more). The public library will be more accessible to me when I am going to be where I’m moving this summer, so, no excuses. Even if I should really work on my art more than on my reading. Would be nice if it could help me feel less... inadequate. Somehow. Just a little.

Reto de Lectura Rory Gilmore

Sé que llego tarde a este reto de lectura pero nunca me había animado a tomarlo, lo descubrí hace años no recuerdo donde y ahora que me topé con el de nuevo en  BlackWhite Read Books y queria intentarlo.

Gilmore Girls fue una gran parte de mi adolescencia vi todos los capítulos más de una vez y me identificaba con Rory, su amor por la lectura y su vida cotidiana, es una serie que siempre vivirá en mi corazón y es más que una serie para mí, me enseño muchas cosas y me ayudo con muchas más.

El reto de lectura consiste en leer todos los libros que Rory leyó a lo largo de la serie, los cuales son muchos, entre ellos existen muchos clásicos como Alicia en el País de las Maravillas y El Diario de Anna Frank, la mayoría de libros en esta lista no están siquiera en mi lista TBR la cual es otra de las razones por las que quiero intentarlo, la lista consiste de 339 libros por lo que no me pondré propósitos irreales como leerlos todos durante este año (2016), en dos años o en cinco, simplemente me propondré terminar esta lista algún día y divertirme con ella.

Marcare mi progreso en este post y quizá haga una reseña de ellos, los mencione en mis libros del mes o en GoodReads pero primordialmente será aquí.
