Some funfacts & trivia about you: im gonna be real with you all im terrible @ sharing fun facts about myself. uhhhh idk i guess i've swallowed whole pennies and dimes before as a child. i also ate a whole tube of toothpaste on christmas day and puked it up later..... i ate a lot of weird shit as a kid apparently

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play?: uhhh most of my main interest in vidja games is fire emblem, but actively rn i play like mobage and rhythm games on the side. other big interest games for me would probably be the botw series (not neccesarily zelda overall but), persona 5, ffxiv a LOT in the past, hades…. i cannot think of anything else off the top of my head LOL

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: blaziken you are my favorite little guy. my favorite type is probably electric or ice though.

Engage: alfred. hrk

Favorite Fire Emblem class: i fucking love mage knights so much. so glad engage brought them back

.:2021 Art Summary:.

Ngl, I completely forgot I drew some of these this year FTGYHUJN 2021 Felt like three years in one, but it also feels weird that it's already over, ah well. I forgot to put my name on this but that doesn't rlly matter.

January I was actually planning on making this into a speedpaint, but I kept putting it off... and then I had to factory reset my PC, and lost the recording, oops. I don't rlly have anything to say about the picture itself, it's still good, all of the outfits are based on various things I drew Seb in before, I drew the entire thing while listening to Neil Cicierega.

February I apparently didn't post this one here? Weird, could've sworn I did. Anyways, I like this one too, though I don't rlly like the texture in the shading much anymore. The background is actually based on the way NomNomNami does hers, I might try doing it again some day tfygh.

March Another thing I didn't post here oops. This one's ok, still don't like that shading much, but otherwise it's cute. I don't remember anything particularly interesting about this one, other than the entire reason I drew it was bc I don't draw these two characters very often. OH, I did get a new tablet a short while after making this! and XP Pen... one of those fancy screen tablets.... I have never mentioned this to anyone.

April This started off as just a random doodle I decided to clean up and finish. I really like this one, it's so soft and round.... Also weirdly enough, after drawing this I realized I really like watermelon flavored stuff.

May This wasn't originally my pick for the May slot, but then one I did want to put here didn't fit, so I went with pink Fafnir instead. That's fine though, pink Fafnir is still good, I like the clouds in this one... Shoutout to ~Positive⭐Dance Time~

June Most of this month was taken by me drawing refs for characters, and drawing other people's characters for trades on TH. I had a few not ref pieces, but I like this one the best :3c I didn't like the shading when I first made it, but looking at it now I think it's really nice tbh.

July This month was also taken up mostly by character refs and other for other people, but this piece was honestly the highlight of the month for me.... I like it a lot, I think it's one of the best things I've drawn honestly. It makes me really happy <:3

August Speaking of things that make me happy, cats. I rlly like cat people man, they make me so happy trgfed That's the entire reason I drew this, entirely self indulgent, and I still love it TFGYBHUJ I'll have more cat people art in the future...

September This picture was actually originally based on a screenshot from I believe AC Pocket Camp, though I can't find the original image anymore. Anyways, this one's also still very good, I like drawing the food; and Yamilla's expression is a mood.

October Tbh I was torn on two different pics for this spot, with very different tones, but I decided to go with this one bc.... Idk, I just wanted to, anyways Stella is good and I rlly wanna try a ChupaChups Sparkling Water one day Shoutout to Shadow Shadow

November Tbh there's actually a pic in November that I liked more than this, but it's uh.... not Tumblr friendly, so I'm not putting it here RFTGVH This one's still good though! I actually originally sketched it in pencil before finishing it on comp.

December This picture's not super interesting, but it's special bc it's the first pic I did in a while for a speedpaint! Bc I rlly wanted to make speedpaints again after having not done that in like... almost a year? I think? So yeah, Helena says hi.

[redxblueihateloveyou]

Actually i don't get Reki at all. Like even in the first ep he was worse even than Shadow and i'm not talking abt Cherry, Joe and Adam. And he was ok and loved skating. But like... if your friend is better than you, then you get depressed and making your friend feel guilty abt you not being good enough? I didn't even ship Reki and Langa, they are just giving me only friendship vibes, but i'm still sad, wtf writers did with his character?

Yeah, same. Like, sorry, I just don’t think Reki’s character can be redeemed for me personaly at this point.  

Like what should I even stand for in his character? I do not respect his life position at all. Like I dislike Makoto for being a shadow and not wanting anything in his life, but hey, at least he’s genuinely happy for Haru’s success. I adore Rin who never gave up and dove into the hardest challenge possible from the start to get on Haru’s level, cause he wanted to swim with him for the rest of his life and he got there. And then there’s this..  it’s like.. he loves to skate, but apparently not enough, cause his doesn’t want it, if he isn’t the best at it, so he’d rather... not skate at all? He wants to be as cool and on the same level with “naturally talented ones” and wants to compete with Langa, but he doesn’t want to do anything for it or search for his own unique style or smth to beat them in another way? And on top of that he’s also sad about seeing Langa succeeding? The whole thing is... like.. no, thank you?

Like are they really gonna go with the “you made me want to be great at this like you, but if only you are great at this, than screw both you and this?” lolz. Even if they will go with the psychological block bc of his friend’s injury, it’s gonna be lousy af now. It’s like is there even a route left which could make him look...ahem... presentable at this point? Idk.

I also was right about the fact that he’s the type who prolongs the whining instead of doing things, unlike some other characters who were in his position too; realistic maybe he is, but I don’t want it, honestly, like I see such things every day and I do not like it.

From what I’ve seen in the tag some are already trying to apply here like 50 mental disorders to excuse him and stuff like “it’s realistic” and at this point I’m honestly used to people on the internet using mental disorders not for spreading awareness, but bc they’re thinking it’s “trendy”, which is a cringe galore and shame on you. But it still makes me kinda sad all the time. Also there’s nothing unrealistic about not giving up and getting where you want, it’s just harder for, to say, “ordinary” people, that’s why most rarely choose this option (although it’s for you to decide if you’re ordinary or not, cause everyone can be extraordinary, you just need to find it in you). Anyways, drowning in a self pity is not the trait I’ve ever found appealing in people, along with the constant comparing yourself to others.

Sadly many prefer to use these excuses to get out of everything along with being lazy or jealous, esp the young generation. At this point, it’s like the same thing as with this other fandom. Like, sometimes when someone is trying to hit someone because he saw that he’s more talented than him, that just means that he’s an asshole, there’s no need to come up with ridiculous excuses to justify this and try to make him a hero. And sometimes ppl are just jealous, as simple as that. And no, not everyone is like that. At this point ppl on social media are like... fuck your hard-working characters, who are inspired by talent and do not give up on trying to prove yourself even if the whole world is against them. Let’s promote being emo and how it’s okay to spend your life on walking around telling everyone how you’re a useless trash, like this will help you in life.

Also if seeing someone succeed, esp your best friend, makes you sad, might want to reconsider the way of living your life. Just saying.

Also since when you have to be the best just to enjoy doing what you love doing? I’m like... personaly I do not get it. Looking at my vids 10 years ago they look like utter trash, but I tried and tried and yeah, I might not reach some levels of mega talented ppl, but hey, I’m still trying and searching for stuff I can improve all the time and watch talented ppl tutorials like “holy fuck, you can do that?”.

But hey, at least he doesn’t want to only make boards, he wants to compete... (or does he? I’m honestly not sure at this point lol)... I mean, there’s... that. but I thought, when he’s gonna realize it, he’s gonna be back on track, but n.o. xD back to self pity. ok then. Some go like “its only been 3 episodes” and I’m like “this... ain’t a 24 episodes anime tho..(?)”.

So far I’m just confused about what are writers intentions with some characters are. Like the most interesting ones at least for me are technically a background for some reason idk. I was literally sad about the wasted amount of screentime on Reki being.. well, nothing new.

Sad part about this is that people like this also need a constant reassuring to the point of them just sucking your life out of you, too, so I honestly do not know how to deal with this life position. Ppl like this have a tendency to never be happy, so Langa would just have to run after him and feed him with compliments for the rest of his life to water his tiny self-esteem or say smth “don’t give up, don’t give up, fighting”? It’s like... well, ok. Friendship, yeah, but ship? Nah, not for me. Also I do not smell any huge romance there tbh, and from Reki’s side this is all just a mess tbh.

The saddest part was that he saw that Langa won after his yelling and he didn’t care for that. Like Rin was mopping bc he wanted to swim with Haru, so when he saw that Haru wanted to swim with him, too, that was it for him. And that’s the problem all the viewers who watched Free! got hit with while watching this. My DMs are literally all about “why do I not feel anything about them?” or “sometimes cute, but smth doesn’t hit me shipping wise”. Cause I think most expected for some reason that he would also put Langa first, but at the end, they’re not on the same track, bc their priorities are different.

I actually think it was just mistake for all of our Free! hommies including me to go at it from the wrong point of view and from the beginning expecting it shipping wise to be like that one other Utsumi’s work. I mean, she’s just a director there, not also on the storyboard or anything else. Should’ve gone watching it with a clear head. The main ship just does not hit any spots for me either. And my heart does not lie there at all. I do blame Free! for this, cause it’s like impossible to compare bc of those our scenes, I keep seeing, but at the same time, they do not hold up not to the dynamic, not to anything at this point. Like I do not know where they’re going with them, but this is just not my type of a ship in general and definitely not the one I can go crazy about. I honestly do not think 3 episodes can change that. It’s says a lot if at this point I do not even care much for their reconciliation, I’m like.. tell me about the seniors’ drama tho xD So I’ll stick with my side ships.

Also, unrelated to the question, but did Adam seriously just went and hit Cherry with a board in the face?!!!! (THE FUCK DUDE?) Like, this was definitely not how I thought this was gonna go. I also kinda felt like Cherry was in love with Adam in the past. All in all this was like a... strange episode, at this point I just feel sorry for my baby Langa, Joe and Cherry were very cute (esp at the end) and my god Cherry is hot, but like I also want something complex pls, so idk I’m  still waiting for the Adam/Tadashi shananigans.

At this point I’m like “I love watching this, but what am I watching?” haha supernatural skating soup opera it is then. 

Also I just love Langa my dude, my man. How he’s such a puppy in real life, but so freaking hot when he skates??!!! T_T 

[flying-elliska]

This is really random and I'm kind of a new follower, but from what I could gather you have such a strong opinion on different topics, which I kind of admire bc I find that so important but can't really apply that to myself oftentimes idk. Is it part of your personality or are you trying to be consciously aware to not just 'consume numbly'? Hope that makes sense. And you're giving such good advice?? But an anon has already stated that correctly. Have a lovely day 🎃✨

hey new follower, welcome to you then, glad to have you around <3 that’s a very beautiful compliment, thank you. idk if you were looking for advice too but here it is because it’s late and i can’t help myself apparently lmao. (with the caveat that I too am a moron frequently like anyone)

...

i am sort of a chronic overthinker, so maybe it’s natural. that said, i used to think i didn’t really have an opinion for a long time. i found it difficult to express myself. and i looked up to people who i thought did it well for guidance. so i feel you 

i went to a school where we prided ourselves on being able to talk convincingly about things we had zero knowledge about so eh (not that this is a good thing lmao) but i grew past that 

i think i realized at some point i just tend to have opinions that are very long winded because i like looking at different sides of an issue. i think part of that is me being a contrary bitch, i don’t like going for the obvious meaning (maybe it’s residual trauma from being raised by someone who had a quasi cult leader type of approach to parenting lol). we are so easily tempted to disappear into the group, or a relationship.  i feel like knowing your own mind, defining your own self image, seeing past the easy judgments and surface meanings, being able to understand reality on your own terms, is one of the deepest, most urgent forms of freedom. also empathy - which does not automatically mean endorsement - and trying to understand things and people from their own logic. 

we tend to assign error or folly or bad intentions very easily. but it’s often because of the limits of our own understanding. and well, i have a weird brain. i grew up feeling like some sort of alien, often misunderstanding people, social habits, my own mind. so constant overanalysis is to me, the survival strategy that came the most naturally. and so as not to let my brain eat itself, i have gotten pretty good at figuring out what’s relevant and what’s nonsense ( i still could get better at it tbh). but part of me is constantly checking myself so i don’t do something terrible or terribly embarassing. wouldn’t wish that on anyone tbh. i am increasingly learning not to oversimplify myself for public consumption. my mindscape is a jungle, so be it. what’s the shape of yours ?

i also grew up in a lot of different social spheres. i met people from all sorts of social backgrounds, from billionaires who owned private beaches and designed jewllery for fun to people living in trailers without electricity or in the street, from prissy heiresses who believed using the wrong fork was a sin to best friends who had to work since middle school to help their parents. from all sorts of creeds, from wayward soldier priests baptising people in streams to new age ‘shamans’ whose houses smelled of pee, from staunch atheists to adorable nuns living in stone villages in the mountains and wild mama bear witches. from all sorts of politics, from faithful anarchists to political exiles fleeing dictatorships to crypto-royalists and decrepit neo-colonialist conservatives. from all sorts of cultures too.  i think that’s the fave part of my childhood. people are just so interesting. but everyone operates within their own specific world, and you can’t judge people from your own perspective. of course there are things that are universally right or wrong but beyond that, you have to get into the world in which they move, understand its rules. see how it intersects with others. a lot of social interactions are role play. once you get that, you get the codes, you can move in any circle. (also : very rich people can be so unbelievably boring. they buy into their own hype so much, like spoiled babies. nothing to be very impressed about.) People wear façades and play different roles to different people; that’s not always a bad thing, after all parents have to be strong for their kids even when they’re scared. But now you’re an adult (or getting there) don’t let yourself be too mystified

 also : power. dynamics of power are everywhere all the time. if you’re not aware of them, that’s a mark of privilege. ( in the end, who profits ? is this building empowerment for people and communities or is it stripping it away ?) but they’re not totally all consuming either. there’s also always agency, and chaos, and possibility. and compassion.

i think it’s important to accept that it’s okay not to have an opinion on everything. and also that it’s always growing, evolving, deepening. it’s possible you taught yourself, out of survival instinct or habit or something else, not to trust your own heart/brain/intuition/experience. I don't think it's anyone's natural state to just consume numbly. i’m sure you can step beyond that, everybody can. also ; learn how to embrace being destabilized. there is always this one moment between knowing something, learning you don’t really, and then getting a deeper perspective, that is scary, but it’s okay. you can come back to your center. like any sort of growth, really engaging with difference implies discomfort ; bear it, it’s worth it. 

 i think any opinion that is too static is likely to turn into bullshit in the long run. like a good wine, it should gain in complexity with age. also : read up on sociology/anthropology if you haven’t already there’s just so much good stuff in there (and a lot of bullshit too lol) about what it means to be human and cultures and how minds work and symbols and etc etc. and find good news sources because it can be very easy to feel disgusted by the world otherwise. and read as much and as diversely as you can

find things to love about thinking ? for me it’s ; i don’t believe in this binary between mind/body, feelings/reason etc, i think it’s bullshit and they all influence each other. and so does our environment. we learned to think by looking at and interacting with nature. some of our neurons are in our stomach. we’re made of star stuff. we grow by engaging with others. and not to sound like a hippie but that shit is breathtaking bro. we encoded the world with stories and symbols and use them to tell ourselves and each other stories and built community and we’re all the time engaged in this web weaving. so i see and i want to see more and more thinking like this organic, tangible process. 

in the end, what is it important for you to have an opinion about ? i think it’s about passion, and love, and justice, and truth. what do you want to be moved by ? what do you want to honor with your possibilities for learning and knowledge ? where you invest your energy and time, you invest your life.when you have something you are passionate about, it will be much easier to express the subtlety and depth of a meaningful opinion about it. and then you can apply that to other areas of your life. 

personally i want to (i have to) live like a diplomat, as a balancing act, with elegance and the ability to make tough decisions with grace, moving between all the layers of life and bearing gifts from one to the next. and i want to be able to move people, and give them the kind of stories and knowledge that are tools for them to heal and be happy and make the world better. 

 i have my work to do, like everyone else, of sorting through my shadows and making the dream stuff intelligible. in the end it’s all about finding an authentic life. your own inner logic. the bonds that nourish it, and what you want to give. 

and i think once you find that is for you, i think finding your voice, an opinion that is truly yours and not copy pasted from some one else, will be much easier to start weaving. but don’t worry ; it happens in small steps. i bet you’re already on your way. 

[colour-outside-the-liness]

First of all, I'm glad you didn't just drop your whole birth chart here, cuz that's kinda dangerous (??) in a way that is very personal haha personal information about you. So I'm sorry for even asking for it. Idk people might want to use that information against you in wtever way, so it's best to keep it to yourself really lol. (I know it sounds ridiculous but best be safe than sorry).

Second of all I think taurus people are very interesting, I feel like there's an air of "don't really care if you think I'm living my life wrong" about yall that is very alluring. All earth signs (virg, taur, cap) are like that tbh but yall are kind hard to reach I think, like it takes some effort to really get to know you. So I think that's why you might think that people don't usually have a formed opinion when you tell them you're a taurus. I feel very drawn to earth signs but yall always break my heart and vice versa lol, like that compatability bs is kinda real (I'm a saggitarius btw and apparently earth and fire do not mix well). And the whole good and bad thing, well we all have light and shadow sides, doesn't mean we're inherently good or bad. And I have to say it's totally fitting that you're a taurus and are not that into astrology or know much about it bc earth signs are most of the time the ones who say star signs are bs and not real or just generally don't care about it lol.

And then your moon (which is your more vulnerable side, emotions and how you navigate that) in taurus might tell us that your pretty like chill and a bit passive. Just down-to-earth and likes the secure and stable aspects of life. Your gemini placements might stir things up at times lol but generally you have like a fixed energy. And like I said before, you enjoy the good things and take pleasure in just relaxing (don't think there's anything wrong with seeking pleasure and enjoying that, that's one of the things I like most about yall).

Ah gemini rising! Sounds like you're a fun one. Your ascendent is how people perceive you so if you're at a party right, people might look at you and say that you're talkative, curious, can talk about anything really like you have many different interests and is very smart and witty. Thing about gemini placements is the duality of your mind, people say Geminis have like a split personality cuz they tend to have like opposite desires (like wanting to socialize and to be alone at the same time). But I personally think that people just don't understand how complex humans can be haha anyway I absolutely adore geminis, it's one of my favourite signs. Sorry if this sounds really general but I'd have to know more about your houses (not hp houses hehe) to be more specific.

Sorry for the uh delayed response, I got my second dose yesterday and I've been just really poorly as it purges all the sickness in me lol. Hope you're doing well and enjoying your weekend!

No don't apologise about that I'm a pretty open person like I wouldn't even think something like that would be personal about me like I said I really don't understand start signs so would've never thought someone could use my chart against me... I'm really hopeless when it comes to things like this but I find it all so interesting and always want to know more about what my chart says about me... like I said when I show people around me my chart it's always the same "Ahh yeah makes sense" and then they never tell me why it makes sense, I have a cousin that's really into this and we both once got talking about the co-sign app and she told me a little about stuff but not much all I know is I have a lot of repeat signs in my chart but I would've never thought people could use this information against me at all but thanks for the warning I appreciate that!! I think what you've said about taurus here is really fitting for me I do have a "I don't care if you think I'm living my life wrong" air to me because my life is my life and if I'm happy and not outwardly hurting anyone then to me I'm living my life right (I have one sibling who likes to judge my life a little but I really don't care what she thinks)... I get along with some fire signs easy enough my ex was an Aries and we actually got along really well and are still friends now and my best friend (my roommate) is a Sagittarius and so is one of my sister's and I get along with her so well... I am sorry that earth signs always break your heart or vice versa... I've heard Earth and Fire signs don't mix and that for Earth signs other Earth signs or Water signs are better- don't know how true this is maybe you can confirm or deny that? Honestly you saying this does make sense for my moon being in taurus I am a pretty chilled person and I do just like things to be secure... I'd like to think I'm down to earth and quite passive but I am sure the people that know me in life would be able to confirm this better than I can I do enjoy good things and take a lot of pleasure in them and I have no shame in saying what I enjoy and what I like and when I like something it's usually in excess but I'm fine with this. Again my rising sign makes sense when you explain what that means, I am a very curious person and will talk to people about anything. My roommate is always shocked because anytime we go anywhere... concerts, clubs, plays, anything I will always leave with new friends because I will talk to anyone about anything no matter where I am... I don't know about being smart or witty but I would like to think I am haha Yeah I have heard the split personality thing about gemini and that's something my cousin and my sisters that are really into it commented on when they saw my signs and that's why I was a but unsure about having this sign in my big 3 but seeing what you've written here about it that makes sense and I am fine with it and it's great to see someone say it's one of their favourites because that never happens really haha Well like I said I'm happy to tell people any of my signs in my chart I didn't realise it was dangerous to do so but I would be very interested to know what all of it means haha Oh no I hope you feel better soon!! I know my first one made me so ill... I had the Astra Zeneca one before people found out it was dangerous to give to people under a certain age so that was fun when all the news broke about that Really hope you start to feel better soon and that you're able to enjoy what's left of your weekend!! I'm doing great thank you and so far can't complain about my weekend it's been a nice relaxing one ☺️
