Jedediah and Octavius
Some wips (but I forgot to take pictures of most of the steps) + the 'clean' version (basically without the hearts because I posted this on Instagram too and people I know irl follow me there 🥲)
#I was so scared to color this but it turned out alright#this was my first ever ship actually. I think I was 8 when I watched the movie for the first time#(couldn't have been much younger. I had to learn how to read or else how would I read the subtitles? anyway)#then I watched the second movie and their relationship cemented in my head. a few years after the third film came and yeah#at the time I didn't even know what shipping was actually#night at the museum#natm octavius#natm jedediah#natm#jedtavius#jedediah and octavius#fanart#art#traditional art#if you made it this far reading the tags feel free to tell us what was your first ship :)#btw watch this post completely flop (I spent too much time making it. it's the rules of the internet I guess)#Jed's gay hip pose#gaius octavius#jedediah smith

I'm really not vibing with whatever staff is doing now. Not only does there seem to be a total internal communication breakdown, there also seems to be an absolute disregard for how the players are affected by this.
Like, ignoring the fact that the consistency argument doesn't even hold water, their takeaway from the Fern/Paisley thread seems to have been "oh we gotta change Breakup and Hypnotic too!!"
And then completely reversing Sandsurge Blend on top of that? A gene that's been out for over half a year and was only listed as having the gradient softened, not reversed? Just a total failure to communicate and an absolute bullheadedness in pushing the changes through despite the very reasonable player concerns?
To top it all off, none of these are bug changes, they are style changes. Someone saw these genes before they went live, greenlighted them, and put them in the game. And now, months upon months later, someone else (presumably) says "fuck that, I want the gene to look like this instead" and that complete change is just... pushed through??
Like. Did they learn nothing from the Butterfly debacle, from Obelisk Flair, hell, from the Eyepocalypse?
What the fuck is going on behind the scenes?
#flight rising#snaphance rambles#i don't fucking know man#yeah rushing out ancients is an absolute mistake#but also why has “consistency” suddenly become so important to them?#they've done so many drastic changes in the name of “consistency” like changing the rarities of genes that have been out for 8+ years#and now they completely ignore the breed/gene variety they themselves have created#“this totally changes the dragon for no reason let's push it through”#actually the auraboa changes make them worse and far more cluttered#they already struggle with being extremely busy#so let's just revert those very nice gene designs that actually make them more readable#who cares if our players have invested in these dragons and have had like 3-6 months to get attached to them#let's flatten the fucking auraboa secs and completely change the look of sandsurge blend#because they clearly don't play their game or understand how players get attached to how their dragons look

Art Summary of 2023
I kind of wish I had taken this thing to the next level and used a picture with a clone in it for March and November as well (I looked it up now, I very much could have added my Fives portrait or that first pinup-y illustration of Rex for March, and a very cute drawing of a clone OC and his dog (of whom I am promised to get partial custody, and how cool is that really?? and I am so very excited to show him off next year!!)) but it was also the year of Din in big hats as well, so I let those pieces stay :) You'll just have to take my word that there is a Rex in the July picture too.
I feel ike I have learned so much, and also have grown a lot more confident in my skills as an artist; I've learned that I love drawing backgrounds to make a "full" illustration, that intricate little details fascinate me to no end, that I can do fun things with lineart and my version of cell shading but I also miss dedicating the time to a full painting; and that harsh/stronger light reflecting off of darker skin is still something I'll have to study further next year.
Thank you everyone for your continued support in 2023! I have so many kind and enthusiastic tags screenshotted and saved for the days when I inevitably doubt what I do, it means so so much to me! I'm very grateful for the old and new friends I'd made or reconnected with this year ❤️❤️❤️ - and hello to new followers too, I hope you'll keep enjoying what I do here ❤️

#my art#art summary#2023 art summary#2023 summary of art#tcw fanart#I've spent the whole year drawing the same face and I still cannot make it truly consistent what does that say about me?#I've looked back on my annual art summaries of the past 8 years#and I am so proud of how far I have come#I'm also happy that I haven't had a repeat of 2019 where I didn't have a single thing from the first 2 months because work was hell#January has Boba and Gregor in it so that totally counts#and that Rex for March woulf have been weird because it sure as hell wouldn't be his face that I'd include in this summary LOL#it would have been the texture of his armor btw#or the scar on his chest - I really liked those details

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…
They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…
…and closer…
……until..................
"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.
"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.
"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…

Enough time has passed to where I think we can openly admit how WK has gone through seasonal rot within its previous 2 seasons and how the hype of Season 7 along with the generally positive reception is a really green flag for the show's quality.
#wild kratts#pbs kids#kratt brothers#martin kratt#chris kratt#pbs kids go#2d kratt brothers#2d martin kratt#2d chris kratt#because season 5 and 6 were.... not good to say the least#S5 took a hard plummet in quality after the Alaska special#Idk how to describe it but episodes felt more flat and basic more often than not despite there being several good ones in the mix too#S6 was slightly better but still felt more two-dimensional and basic and oddly oversaturated (and I don't just mean in the color palate)#I know Season 7's only been out for barely a year and we've only had 8-10 episodes released#But I do think that this season is substantially different than the previous two.#It feels a lot more experimental in its concepts whilst utilizing the show's strengths#Sometimes it works like with Clever the Raven or the Blue and Green special#Sometimes it doesn't like with the Mudskipper episode#But you can tell that they've some ideas in mind that you definitely wouldn't find in other seasons.#It genuinely makes me both curious and optimistic. Bc again it took 2 years to film this season.#There's definitely more time put into the writing process as earlier seasons.#I'm gonna hold some reservations until the season ends but it's shaping up to be pretty good so far.

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.
no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this
#which is imo how a fandom space should be#i'm old fashioned and it breaks the fandom etiquette rules i stand by#i ship and stuff and absolutely NO cc needs to be subjected to that please and thank you even if it's a non-ship post#not saying hermits and others cant hang out and interact if they wish hell no but like....#if you as any person with a following willingly go into a fandom space you have to expect to see some things you find weird#doesn't even necessarily mean ship just stuff the cc finds weird :v idk im not phrasing this right but like#the rule with shipping around any sort of media has been to keep it away and not show the creators anything !!! and thats fallen out#of practice the past few years with ppl getting more and more comfortable demanding boundaries and personal info from creators#which isn't right imo bc its like you're trying to see how much you can get away with. u want a guide on how to interact and social skills#which is... huh??? just be polite and keep anything weird away from them like what we were doing#some folks nowadays need “permission” to ship stuff even from SHOWS and shit with no real people and its like wow... huh....#u need it to be canon?? u need everything told to u by the show?? wheres the imagination. the spirit.#the making of everything so far removed from what it once was#like that guy that played nick from heartstopper that had to be outed to play a gay guy. like#idk im so sick of the boundary fandom ppl in mcyt 'what if they saw and made it uncomfortable!! im going to show them!!!!'#you are making them MUCH more uncomfortable than i am by GOING INTO THEIR FACE AND DEMANDING THEY LOOK AT IT!!#AND DEMANDING BOUNDARIES N SHIT... CRAZY.... idk the hermits especially its weird to me bc clearly they understand fandom etiquette#and the dynamic im talking about. most of them understand that by going into fandom spaces they will see things they dont like#which is why a lot of them only like fanart and answer questions asked by fans. even on tumblr !!! where the weird ppl are!!!#they also all seem to understand they are playing characters (citing joel cleo and grian as examples) for their audiences#which is. smth the audience itself doesnt understand most of the time anymore. oh my god they all died in real life in hermitcraft season 8#idk hermitblr used to be a lot more okay with hermitshipping n then a bunch of ppl from other fandoms moved in and its all more negative#and makes me sad. idk...#i never meant for this blog to gain almost 500 followers i just wanted to make silly little ship posts and now im scared to#bc ive gotten hate and its.... bwugh.... tempted to remake blogs and make one thats very clearly just for me and a few weirdos#whatever i went off on a tangent in the tags as usual just pls dont show creators my posts even non-ship ones for this reason#jamies bad posts#talking in tags#serious posts#<- ig??? idk

you seem like the. kind of person who I'd run into during a rock concert while I'm trying to find bathroom and notably you are dressed kind of oddly for the concert (see: divorced dad outfit. hawaiian shirt. jorts. chunky sandles. giant sun hat.) and so I ask you "hello, do you know where I can find the bathroom?" and you go "yeah sure!!" and you point me the complete opposite direction from the bathroom. not on purpose, but because you also have no idea where the bathroom is. I thank you and go on my way, both of us oblivious to the fact we are currently very much not at a rock concert. it's an idie band that just screams really loud. sorry if that's specific you just give me giant 'perpetual tourist that isn't really a tourist and has never left their home city but just seems like a tourist anyways' energy
naw thats a pretty reasonable impression id say
#thank you for this i can very clearly see all of this happening whehghfdg#ive actually never been to a concert of any kind before!! id love to go see cavetown in person cuz hes the only one i actually consistently#listen to. but the dude only has his tours either in europe or the states orz#BUT if you did ask me where you could find a certain type of fish in the aquarium i could almost definitely get it right#only cause ive been to the aquarium enough times to memorize the galleries but forgetful enough to be surprised every single time#“yeah sure!!” is also a SPOT ON RESPONSE. not a “its that way” or “head there and turn left”. yeah sure is more on point than u could know#one time i was at the beach ogling these tiny fish and some guy asked me hows the water and i said theres tiny fish here!!#which did not answer his question and was so far off and its happened so many times that i think ive accepted it#ask#answered#yapping#doodles#puppysona#i also know deep in my soul i would dress oddly for a concert because 1) almost all the clothes in my closet are at least 8 years old#and 2) im very picky and wear for comfort rather than something i could actually use for certain outings. like a concert#i literally have a sweater that says baddie in fancy font and i only bought it because its REALLY FUNNY and it was like $12

sometimes i really do miss Spain... the year i spent there... i miss the youthful hope i had when i showed up in the heart of andalucia thinking that i wasn't going to miserably sad there, that living abroad would fix my heart. knowing i'd be adventuring, not knowing how solitary i'd feel
and falling in love with teaching, and knowing that i could make a change. thinking i'd be so strong and that i'd be a teacher forever, that the sacrifice wouldn't drive me into the ground and the joy would sustain me.
sometimes i even miss the wild lonely feeling i had when i stood on top of the alcazaba ramparts alone and looked out at the sunset over the sea. sad and empty in that moment, believing it'd all get better so soon.
didn't know who i was yet and was so excited to find out
#it changed me so much and i still feel it sometimes#sitting in my room back in the states#a little corpo robot who has gone so far from where she started...#has it already been 8 years?

it's kind of mind blowing to me that gay marriage was legalized only a year before trump was elected
#like those two events seem so far apart. it feels like weve been able to get married for ages and trump is recent history#but no. marriage has only been legal for us for like. 8 years#8 fucking years#there are people celebrating their 50th marriage anniversaries and gay people could only start getting married 8 years ago#its kind of fucked up#it feels like it should have been legal for much longer#and it feels like we as a generation just sort of forgot how much people had to fucking fight to even get married at all#its so bizzare
