#Round the World of Sound

[amerricanartwork]

your design notes for the iterators are really well done and thought out and the additional emphasis on shape communication in character design is weirdly underappreciated also the fact that Sig only reaches to Moon's chin is so cute god he NEEDS to cuddle with that big round lady

Thank you! I'm glad to see people appreciating the effort I put into that, especially when I still have yet to explain what the designs all symbolize! But underappreciated? Where, and in what way? From what I've seen, general shape language seems to be a pretty common idea in character design, and I find it's the smaller details like line rhythms, weight distribution, and proportions that aren't given as much emphasis.

And on that last part, man, I actually just realized that height difference when you mentioned that! Ever since the tags of this post I've always adored the idea of Moon being noticeably taller and bigger than Sig — especially since it's kinda opposite of how I imagine their dynamic of her being the softer, more polite one while he's carefree, yet stronger and more protective — and I've had my idea of their measured height in my mind for a while, but I guess the visual height difference never sunk in until now. Even so, I still love it!

But anyway, you ordered some Lilypad cuddles to go along with the height difference, right? Well, here you go!

Thanks for the idea too! I really haven't drawn these two in actual months and I feel like they're really overdue for some love, so hopefully I'll be posting more content of them soon!

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3

Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could

Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)

Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each

A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani

Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions

VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources

(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)

Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)

Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)

The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)

Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)

Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun

Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good

Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas

Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!

Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists

VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about

Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with

MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows

oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)

Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately

honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

Now, if you’ll forgive me, I’ll go inside, pack my little bags, and return to Vienna where I belong.

my bird keeps doing this deeply unpleasant thing where she rubs her (closed) eye over my fingerpads. i let her of course because i guess it feels nice to her, and it's very trusting and sweet really. but i sure wish i wasn't experiencing the sensation of Bird Eyeball on a regular basis. things they don't warn you about when you get a tiny parrot. you might get super acquainted with the texture of bird eyelid and bird eyeball shape.

The marigold's sweet words have allured the hummingbird to the commotion of the ground, tempting it to move its nest to the ground after light-years of being held by the stars. If Holly does not mind, and if it does not tear too many pages from her calendar full of flowers, perhaps I shall ponder upon this sprouting dream. I shall consult the archives for whatever I can save of my planet. Hope has died many times as I searched that library. Perhaps the tearing of frosting has gotten boring, and she will spare me of having the peony of my heart plucked and split apart in a thousand ways this time.

What religion is close enough to Christian that it’s comforting but far enough away that it’s not triggering? Important: accepts gays. I have a deep yearning for religion even despite my lack of faith in any Christian god that lets the world run the way it does.

i hate this post wheneveri see it sorry lol i can smell the supersessionism. ‘there’s an old jewish story’ yep because judaism is just a quirky abstract reminiscence to help u fix the brokenness of ur own religion and not like a completely different religion with its own theology and philosophy unrelated to urs. there are no people it belongs to or thinkers it produces there is simply an ‘old story’ which you can now insert ur own very specific cultural understandings and theological baggage onto without wondering what the person who said that actually meant by it and if theywould enjoy u using it 2 talk about the guy who invented antisemitism n was forced down their throats for the next 2000 years
