im so in love with 'in repetition and change'. genuinely such an interesting concept with INCREDIBLE art to boot !!!!!! so i just. have to say how much i adore it

but! i was going through the irac tag and noticed that. isa's wish isnt stated anywhere! you mentioned that you know his wish, but !!! i am going crazy thinking about what he couldve wished for !!!!!

so i must ask. what did he wish for, and what was his equivalent of the act 5 finale fight? how did he learn to let go of his wish ??? im losing it

thats all, thank you for making this stellar au :))

Yeah no I also wonder what got him eternally stuck [MASTERPOST]

Also some more stuff, cause I made quite a lot for this-

Death Loop gif, for fun. I initially did the audio for this but I leave you with this.

Sif eating with em big cheeks like they were meant to

And of course, the drawings.

I also didn't get to answer one of the questions- I am not fully sure if Isa told everyone about the timeloops. Tho the way I imagine it is that he told them the entirety of Act 2, and after reaching the end he stopped, but I'm just not sure how that would work with the timeloop mechanically.

Maybe in order to do the friend quests he has to pretend he doesn't know everything that's gonna happen, and during that loop the game asks you to go through without skipping- After that he probably just stopped telling them and just pretended everything was fine.

i CANNOT stress enough how incompatible the themes of these two pieces of media are. i promise my media literacy ability is actually good im well aware that these character mappings are absolutely nothing. that said. play with me in this space. in this sopping wet miserable space. its bad luck to kill a piou piou

Modern au idea

Geralt's a bartender with a teeny tiny massive crush on the local musician Jaskier who plays at his bar every week. His favorite part of the night is when Jaskier comes up to the bar after his set and chats away to him, high off the adrenalin of performing. That is until one night when instead of his usually bubbly voice calling out before he's even seated, Jaskier sits nervously at the bar and orders an angel shot

The Lighting Department is Top Form

Even though the show didn't give Johnny the fate I think he deserved, I appreciate that Jin walked into the play at the exact moment Johnny's character was begging for his life surrounded by (Akin's) blue.

Because the theater was made up of Johnny's red and Jin's green, as if it was battle between them for Akin.

Then, in the play, Akin's character lost the fight to Johnny's character surrounded by Johnny's red.

However, in the play, Akin's character, in blue, tells Johnny's character, who is in red, that "Revenge solves nothing; it only deepens the wound" and if we hold onto our anger, we "will carry the weight of hatred forever" with the tiniest barrier between them.

And we see Akin surrounded, once again, by his blue as he tearfully looks at Jin.

And Jin sees the light. This message is to him. His hatred for Johnny is clouding his love for Akin.

So even though there are clear barriers between Johnny and Jin, he asks to sit down and chat with him.

And for such a dark bar, the lighting is actually quite bright.

Until the exact moment Jin stops bullshitting with Johnny, and subtly threatens him. Jin becomes dark.

And although he lightens up as he leaves to see Akin, he looks at Johnny with an air of darkness remaining and basically tells him he is "lucky" to be working with Akin because that is the only thing saving him. He is telling Johnny that he is not ruining Johnny's entire fucking life because that would mean Akin's play would have issues.

Then, Jin steps completely into the darkness and tells Johnny that if he does it again, he "won't let him go next time."

Jin will be the darkness for Akin, who has been sitting in his own dark hole since Jin left him in the parking garage.

So when Jin shows up at Akin's apartment, Akin is sitting in darkness ready to break it off with Jin.

But once Jin tells him that he has nothing to apologize for and has him listen to what Johnny said, Akin's world brightens.

And Akin is back in his color.

Jin is a chill Green Guy for Akin who will always brighten his world.

But he has proven several times that he is capable of much worse when pushed.

Which is why I love the angel wings. I know they are carryover from the source material, but they work even better here knowing just how dark Jin can get so it feels like Jin is only an angel for Akin because even his darkness is what Akin needs.

And he will be the constant barrier between Johnny and Akin there to remind Johnny of what he promised him at that bar — that would be the first and last time he messed with Akin.

So even though the narrative seems to have forgiven the "Ass," (Donkey), the lighting department wasn't so easy on him because the threat of Jin is clear as the darkness surrounds him.

Akin wrote to his grandmother on blue paper about how much he loves Jin. He wrote it in his color that he found the person who makes his world complete.

Because when Jin whispers in Akin's ear, there is light in his words compared to when he threatened Johnny in that bar.

And he'll always be there to take care of his drunk boyfriend.

So Jin is Akin's angel because he is more than willing to be the devil to everyone else.

Jin isn't a golden retriever.

He's a hellhound.

what if i wrote a “shen yuan transmigrates into a wife” oneshot but the whole premise is based on the song “gone, i’m gone” from hadestown and its overall theme is wanderlust and freedom and it starts out as Shen Yuan settling into life in the palace and trying to avoid harem drama and thinking he can just live with his head down for the rest of his new life, only to be hit with a sudden intense yearning to explore his new world the likes he’s never felt before. What if he was sickly in his last life. What if he spent his entire last life indoors. Trapped between four walls. What if love is not a gilded cage. What if he begins clawing at the walls of his enclosure, desperate to escape because he wants to live, god please let him live. He can’t do this again. What if he spent months preparing for his escape and in that same breath getting the attention of some of the other wives around him because he has changed and it makes them wary. what if he got binghe’s attention as he is wont to do. What if he left. What if Shen Yuan was born with a bottomless pit in his stomach and a gaping maw in his chest. What if he was starving. What if he was starving for the world around him. What if i wrote that. What then

A neighbor of the Anoufriev family: «I've known Artyomka since he was a child, since he was 2 years old. His mother raised him alone, his father was never there. The woman did her best: she exchanged her one-room apartment for a two-room one, worked from morning to night to ensure a decent life for herself and her son. Artyom wanted for nothing. His mother tried to dress him well, she bought him a computer, and he had musical instruments — after all, he graduated from our music school, and he had obvious musical abilities. When the boy entered our medical university on a budgetary basis, her joy knew no bounds. She said, "My boy did it himself! I was afraid that I would have to pay for him. But, well done, he did it himself!"» Artyom wanted to become either a surgeon or a cardiologist — he wanted to achieve success in something big.

Kill Code Moon enters the battle…

A day late, but my gawds…. When did I level up?

Must’ve been when I conquered this OP optional boss I found 😹 unlocked a new companion. Worth grinding mats & levels for.

I want to thank @eclipsartist on IG for reminding me about the boss music (my sound is almost always off on my phone) & an old TikTok where when Monty turns around a health bar appears. 💯

Edit without the health bar & more under the cut

I used the screenshots of the scene to color pick and help with the lighting, especially on Monty.

I thought the WIP with Monty before being rendered was really funny so I’ve included it and the sketch from the first post on the actual day, Jan 12th 😹

EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK!!! I want to be coherent about this season but please picture me foaming at the mouth and running on the walls. S2 being what if Mark's just like his Dad? Insanity. I love this show. Anyways, AU where an Evil!Mark tries to make Our!Mark worse, and Our!Mark tries to make the other better. Something something confronting your idea of the worst version of oneself. Plus, tweaked black and yellow costume because I saw it and immediately went murder hornet lookin' ass and knew I had to draw it. Evil ass Mark. Horrible. I think he should be dragged kicking and screaming into redemption.

Troublemakers at the GAR Goth Night 👀

Finally releasing my boys into the wild 👀🦉✨ For an event like this their Commander Jedi Padawan Eo wasn’t able to to hold them back anymore, even if they‘re still not properly introduced 🙈

That has a simple reason: Always when I try to work on their OC sheets, I get new lore and instead of finishing I escalate in my notes grid 😂✨

Here's also the clean look:

I managed a sudden writing 3 months ago – my first unplanned and shared attempt to break up the writing blockade, that is older than the moon my art blockade was 👀

The Source Code – A single clone, that knows too much and tries to change things without getting killed 👀

Owl Squad from left to right:

Medic Text 💬

Heavy gunner Voice 🎶 <- the lucky one that got a lil introduction 😂

ARF trooper sniper Forest 🌲

ARC trooper Source ♟️

Sergeant Sixoh 🏹

And here some closer looks 😽

The tattooed babygirls 😂 Text is a bit older than Voice, but they grew together since Owl Squad, so they're "The Abysmal Twins" 👀 (having a bit abysmal lore). They had a little fun cameo here 😁

The "Force Twins" ☯️ Forest "The Shaman" and Source "The Sorcerer" 😎 (I have too much lore and too less time to write)

And Sixoh came through one of those multidimensional portals in the 79s' backrooms 🤪 Through GAR time he looked like a shiny, even as Sergeant. The wild look is when he joins Rex' underground 😎

You see, I want to blurt out their stories, but I'm still waiting for my time-freezing bubble, where I can work or sleep for some hours, while outside only some seconds pass 😅

[respectthepetty]

So before I dive into the colors of The Next Prince's seventh episode (which was LONGER THAN AN ENTIRE KOREAN BL!!!!), I need to appreciate our Pink Princess Ava.

Her weakness is she doesn't rest. While Ramil is living his BRAT summer and Khanin is trying to get his loyal guard to disrespect him, homegirl is out there practicing to the point that her own coach is like, "girl, calmate."

She even went to go check on Khanin which is queen behavior and if Khanin magically wins this competition, I'm gonna be big mad.

Also, she thought Blue Boy Calvin went to the bathroom and ditched them while no one seemed concerned with where a whole ass prince disappeared to, so I'm hoping he joins his man's cause and decides the entire monarchy should be dismantled.

But if not, at least someone threaten Khanin into treating my babyboy Chakri better because my little button of a man has never done anything wrong, yet Khanin continues to be real rude and disrespectful to him to the point that I'm about to hit him with the chancla.

Okay, now that I got all of that out of the way, let me begin at the beginning which is exactly where the previous episode ended — with a kiss.

Yet the next day, Black Brooder Charan is in avoidance mode until Heavenly Human Khanin reminds everyone that THEY WERE ATTACKED OUTSIDE OF THE CLUB

And strangely enough, King Kunt, who is normally light, is wearing dark clothing as he decides to punish Charan for, once again, saving his grandson's life as well as Pink Princess Ava's because he was the only bodyguard present to watch over FOUR royal beings and their TWO royal servants. Like the math ain't math, motherf*cker! Charan can't be punished for saving everyone all the time!!!!!

Which leads to Khanin holding grief for Charan as he wears Charan's silver and black colors over his usually white. (But if he really wanted to stick it to the grandfather who lied to him and his biological father their whole lives, he could chuck the deuces to this competition and leave his granddaddy high and dry. I'm just saying).

But it's okay because Charan is still hot and still a Black Brooder in the stables where he has been banished to like an animal even though he is a highly-respected art professor who was plunked out of his job to a be pawn in King Kunt and Khanin's battle of bullshit.

No, really, it's okay though because Khanin is wearing Charan's black, so love is going to solve this narrative.

Or perhaps Khanin winning this competition will be the solution *grumble, grumble, grumble* since he is practicing so hard. However, now I need to see Ramil's archery skills because the fletching on Ava's arrows was pink, and the fletching on Khanin's arrows is white, so Ramil's better be green or he's bs-ing.

But IF Khanin wins, it won't be with this coach because our Heavenly Human knows this man is sus af, and this is one time that I'm proud of Khanin pulling rank since he acted just as offended as a rich white woman from Texas when that man put his hands on him. That coach will never be back at this country club even if Khanin has to fight God herself.

And Khanin's loyal butler (who Khanin does not treat nearly as good as he should!!!!) has his back. My little button spoke with his whole chest to that coach. He may be smol, but he be mighty.

However, it's a good thing Charan, in white, is watching over the scene unfold since he is the ONLY person who can save any of these people.

But he was almost a second too late, so now Khanin gets to take a peaceful two to three business day nap while the rest of the plot continues around him.

Now the granddaddy wants to show up acting like a savior in white pardoning everyone even though this was ALL HIS FAULT! He actually says it was his fault too, so, like, good for him. I still hate him though.

Somehow, Charan, who is the most capable individual in this whole kingdom, caught the horrible coach who poisoned his future baby daddy and shows he is the true savior as he decides to not kill the man right then and there, but instead chooses to let him live for future questioning.

But the only question Green Guy Ramil has is if Khanin is dead yet. Paytai, in the most beautiful soft green suit, delivers the bad news that unfortunately Khanin is not dead, and with this simple exchange, they have solidified that they are the Gomez and Morticia Addams of Khanin and Charan's Disney love story.

So back to Charan and Khanin as the birds sing songs around them and the heavens shine brightly upon their love.

No, seriously, I get it. The Blinding Light of Love is practically enveloping Charan. Khanin thinks he is the sun and his whole life revolves around him. Charan can't live without his Heavenly Human. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're in love.

And Khanin is so happy to learn that Charan has been "keeping vigil" (I love that translation) by his bedside morning, noon, night, and day.

So, of course, he has to make a big deal of it.

Which means Charan has to too. Gomez and Morticia of the Green House of Snakes would be miserable if they had to witness this.

The Black Brooder takes it even a step further though and decides to wash his Heavenly Human's hair because he didn't already have enough duties on his ever-growing list of responsibilities.

But the caring act was worth it because now that they are back in Khanin's room, there is a hint of pink lighting setting the mood.

Which means now is the perfect time for Khanin to attack!

I mean . . . gently ease Charan into abandoning all he has ever known so he can finally taste the forbidden fruit he has so desperately wanted.

But first, Charan must apologize for the disrespect he is about to show Khanin's body.

And with that, we are reminded that when the devil works hard, the GIF makers work harder.

Now let me go reblog this scene eighty times.
