Hiatus Notice

Hi all, didn't want to make this post on my birthday, but I do need to do it now: I'm going to need to take a hiatus from drawing due to my wrist being hurt again.

Anyone who watches my streams knows that I still try and do my stretches while working all the time, so getting hurt again so badly that I can't work at all is nothing short of completely devastating to me. I have spent most of my time crying nonstop about it. All I can do now is the proper next steps...stop and rest, talk to my doctor about it, and hopefully get any physical or massage therapy I need so that I can recover and get back to work ASAP.

I don't know what my timetable for recovery would be right now, but I'm really hoping it's not as long as last time. I just know I won't be able to share any art until I'm better and can draw regularly again.

This just sucks because I already feel like I've been slow at things, and I had multiple things in the works...Eldritchrune comics, and also a project I was working on for the next anniversary. I apologize that it's going to be a wait before I can share any art again...even once I get back into drawing, my job still comes first.

I will update here more once I hopefully know what to do from my doctor, and I can still answer asks, but no art for awhile. I'm so sorry about the wait...trust me when I say this is my biggest nightmare, and I've been an emotional wreck about it.

And artists: please learn from my miseries and take care of yourselves, especially if you draw professionally. Take breaks, stretch frequently, drink lots of water, do NOT overwork, listen to your body, listen to your doctors and therapists. The world doesn't treat us as such, especially nowadays, but you are athletes. Take care of your body the same way an athlete would.

Thanks again for your patience.

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

Guys, everyone's been all like "oh THAT'S why they oncreased the prices for dropout!"

But you see

See

The price change happened may 2025.

All of this was filmed way before the price change happened. I mean, Lou got those jetski's in like december 2023 or something according to wbn fireside. We know these episodes were shot in late 2024.

We haven't seen what they'll be able to do with the extra money!

crazy how the sanshee plush is one of the few actual direct confirmations on what a non-act 2 Natsuki’s home life is like because of how cagey she is on literally everything. Like this isn’t anything surprising or something you wouldn’t be able to extrapolate from the games but unlike everything else we know about her the implications are right there on the tin.

They literally did the character bio trope where where all the likes are normal but the dislikes are about their very specific trauma it’s just so funny they did that on the plushie card

okay i do have to do a mini (i call it mini now.. this is just letting my feelings about it out, so its spelled agressively bc im just so .. frustrated ... also not hate to the studio or the people working on it .. obviously >_>) rant about arcane-

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ARCANE SEASON 2

its the most beautiful show ever produced, i mean it, its style, fortiche's (the studio) style, is just .... impossibly pretty, 3d and 2d, the animation is just so GOOD, the designs largely (like 95%) are too, the acting and sound design, the voice acting (at least the english one) is so emotional and good, the show in general is just good ... until the last episode

i have my own problems with riot declaring arcane the new canon out of nowhere and for no good reason since it was, im very sure, never conceived to be that, its a reinterpreation and works best as such, now literally everything is once again completely messed up, no one knows whats real and what isnt, no champion or story is safe, especially with the weird hexcore bullshit potentially erasing the VOID (whish is like ... half on which the canon was built on tbh) AND hextech- multiple champions being impossible to exist now .... but thats not what i wanted to talk about

i was pretty on board with everything the show did, though i wasnt a big fan of the whole hexcore stuff, but it all spiraled so far out of control, it just kept making everything worse, also with bringing in the black rose and leblanc, it kept piling stuff onto the plate despite them already compressing everything so drastically; espeically regarding viktor, but i kept my hope up even after season 2s act 2 bc it still seemed 'fixable', though not easily so

what i liked about it (in its writing) despite its pacing issues was that it was rather .. self contained for the longest time, focused on the characters and the class struggle of piltover and zaun, and doing so rather well imo, like it did and said things i did not expect riot to let through

i was worried with the alternate universe stuff that came with the escalating hexcore bullshit but held onto hope even until episode 8 and then ...man .. the last episode ... the fuck was that- like i hate timetravel and multiverses and whatever but the thing with ekko was done rather neatly ... they made all those chaarcter models and sets just for that short stuff and really .. was of little use other than getting heimerdinger out of the picture as well lmao maybe he will get his own series to advertise for 200 dollar skins in league hahaaaa but i guess the main point was to give ekko the z-drive ... which feels alot like what i feared about them forcing it to comply with the characters in game ,,,, even though that wasnt for everyone like warwick was done SO dirty after giving me hope in act two

everythings focused on the hexcore/arcane shit, theres the black rose shit (honestly i think it was a mistake bringing them in too bc .. noxus is its entire own region with so many champs and story itself that got connected via ambessa .. which was a new character the show made up until they made her a champ now .. its just too much to put into this one show already going at a breakneck pace), mel doing her bit with them then bam she mage now which felt like a champion teaser more than an organic part of the story, especialyl with how hard it got pushed later (poor little riots gotta sell more game cosmetics uwu), jayce just taking over control again and everyone going with it, singed reviving stupid version victor via using vander/warwick WHO WAS STILL ALIVE AFTER ISHA BLEW HERSELF UP TO STOP HIM FROM KILLING EVERYONE (which was ALREADY pretty cheap, but i guess jinx had to be even more suicidal than she already was heehoo), dont even ask me HOW, viktor was just whoops from corpse to im a cocoon now, ambessa being so obsessed with it, the entire class struggle being """"solved"""" by piltover and zaun fighting stupid viktors weird ass robot shitheads together and then acting like giving sevika a seat at the council is the solution to it, half the cast just dying horribly for honestly no reason?? ORIANNA being now i guess some weird viktor robot but without the mindcontrol part and singed just kinda ... winning i guess by giving her cocoon some goo of stupid viktors cocoon

it just all ... turning from this so drama, character and class struggle thing into weird ass dimension hopping magical world war that all gets solved bc we fought together once uwu AND it being a fucking timeloop WITHIN what ONE episode? and that being the ENDING (i know i know the hexcore bs was building up throughout the show but it still felt so .. unearned and sudden ... )

also i got personal gripes with the 'ending' bc .. was it REALLY an ending like they kept saying?? was it?? viktor, jayce, heimerdinger, jinx are just disappeared i guess, mel going back to noxus- the fucking 'our story isnt over' tease???? the last minute appearance of swains fucking raven???? pecking at something blue and shining like idk a hex crystal??? SHUT UP i dont want more to come, this story should have had its self containing ending, not this open ended bullshit that just reeks of corporate meddling bc they want their game to connect to their popular show as much as possible now so we gotta bring in as many teases and connections to other champions YIPPIEEEEE (yelling)

also if jinx is dead, wow, what a way to end her story, the traumatized suicidal character being tortured and tortured especially after seemingly having something good for once (i liked act 2 except for its ending the most bc ... man jinx was so enjoyable there, i loved her dynamic with vi and isha and half wolf vander warwick with the beast and man struggle i love alot, that part was genuinely beautiful, i wasnt a fan of the idea of idk ekko doing time stuff and them having a happy ending bc i just dont like going back in time to fix everything kinda stuff, but i would have much much prefered that, not changing the existing story into the perfect world where everythings happy (though i liked that part ... vander silco being gay husbands like that is just so goood) but to fix what is fixable in the present- them still having gone through alot but being able to live with it, so act 2 setup was honestly my favorite way to not invalidate everything and still have something happy .... but no we gotta kill the kid to make jinx even worse and vander/warwick too while we are at it

if shes not dead (given you see a blimp(?) flying away and her scribbles showing up and caitlyn looking at the blueprints of the hexgates) then ... ??? oh yeah lets make her leave zaun and just idk go be the main character in noxus or soemthing for the next show they are gonna do bc jinx is popular so putting her everywhere is a good idea!!!1!!11

ALSO since vander/warwick is my favorite .. i thought maybe after isha doing that, if they dont reverse it, hed get taken by singed again or ran away and turned fully werewolf like he is in the game (though i would have liked if they were able to be a weird family like in act2)- but no he just gets used as fuel for stupid viktor cocoon and then mind erased and made into the ugliest weird robot thing that looks more like galio than him JUST and i feel like it really is JUST to have Vi at the end do the scene that gets jinx 'killed' .. to lead into the 'more to come' teaser.. idk about you but that scene felt so .. forced, the typical oh no platform is slowly falling down but Vi suddendly gets emotional about weird ugly robot warwick (who conveniently comes back to life as ugly robot beast since his human mind got erased but not the beast??? i guess???) and completely ignores jinx yelling at her to get to safety, it felt so WEIRD to me (if you gotta do him like that at least let Vi listen to jinx, them embracing and then watchign emotionally as robo vanderwick falls into the hexgate thing .. that was still active somehow i guess??)

(poor viktor got done so dirty too .. i liked him .. until it all went weird wit hthe hexcore stuff ....... ..... also jayce weird speech to him .. why the FUCK did you not do that back in the cult camp instead of blasting him to bits, i get it he was fucked up from seeing the future, but then later hes just ... okay???? pretty fine all things considered??? and pretty aware of everything?? also his weird speech being all like vitkor actually you were perfect in your imperfection BITCH HE WAS SLOWLY DYING AN AGONIZING DEATH???? idk ??? it all feels so weird to me, like there episodes literally missing- ambessa dying also felt so unnecessary .. just so mel can take her place and go to noxus and have more shows maybe- )

i just .... and just like how i cant enjoy botw anymore after them fucking it all up with totk ... i dont know if i will rewatch arcane knowing it ends like that, what was that for, the most beautiful show ever made just to do a game of thrones ending in a single episode?

im so tired of it all ..... im so tired of being disappointed and feeling let down over and over no matter with how little expectations i go in with

this willl be the only arcane rant unless theres some .. big stupid reveal that gets me more frustrated than i am now, which i hope there isnt .. im tired of being and feeling like this .. i just want to enjoy things, everythings going to shit IRL and i cant even find something enjoyable to watch

I'm going to be so real I do not understand tim & steph shippers who feel that Steph dating Tim again would save her character. You can make an argument that giving Tim a more compelling love interest would be beneficial for him! And you can at least make an argument that the fujo mischaracterization of Steph would stop. However she'd still, inevitably, be treated as a prop character/extension for someone more popular 😭 it also wouldn't make her appear in more books! Tim doesn't have many frequent appearances at the moment either! You can just say you like the couple and want them back together without acting like you have some kind of moral stance

[habitina]

no i think some of you don't get it. the nagireo and orpheus and eurydice myth parallels are basically writing themselves. and they go BOTH WAYS

nagi would look back every single time, he has looked back every single time, he has been looking nowhere else the whole time. and reo of course is terrified of watching nagi go back to his old life without him because he'll be alone but there are more important things for him to do. he has to live onn for both of them. do you guys get it . gripping your shoulders and shaking you do you get ittt

i lost my father 2 days ago, work and everything will be on hold for a while. i had to help my mom with everything the last two days (there was so much paperwork and calls to make, my god) and one of those days i slept nothing and had to travel for hours like that and now i feel physically sick. everyone has been very helpful and kind and i appreciate it so much. special shout out to the lady from the funeral home she was the sweetest and gave us a pretty big discount. now my mom is gonna be living with me and my partner for a while. due to her disability she might relapse from an event like that and has to be monitored and get immediate help if needed. she couldn't bring anything with herself due to how bad her home is (bed bugs and roaches) so i need to organize a lot of items for her. also her phone broke, so i need to get a new one (she only uses brick phones) i will have to go in debt to do a renovation for her apartment that is in an awful state but this is the first time in years when she slept in a comfy bed, in a clean room, where it's safe. and first time she will be alone after my father is gone and i don't live in my hometown anymore. she deserves a place to come back to that isn't infestated and disgusting and unsafe. she haven't had that in so long and i couldn't do anything more than i already was doing (my family life is very difficult). but she needs to know that things can be better and she deserves it, nobody should be living like that. and i'm the last person in her life and have to help her make it happen.

if ur gonna have a mouthwashing fix it au you have to at least have it come out to the rest of the crew that Curly didn't crash the ship.

“jfk cheated this, jfk cheated that.” bro i’m telling you rn that jack looks like a goddamn saint compared to some members of his family

[persona4]

it happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sapphicbuddies]

it is so very telling that a certain group of people on here think lfjr is somehow the best thing that happened to the show in terms of queer rep. so let me make this clear one more time: since season ONE we've had a canon married lesbian couple that consists of two black women one of which is a firefighter the other a fucking rocket scientist. we've had a black gay man who was married to athena come out as gay and working through that WITH athena, we've had a gay man at dispatch for years who is actually important to the plot outside of him being gay and we've had a man in his 30s discover he's been bisexual all this time (here you can also add that the entire audience has been seeing it for YEARS). so tell me again how the man who, from the moment he was back on screen wasn't anything more than a plot device, is somehow revolutionary queer rep. that man is a fucking joke and lfjr actively contributed to fooling you guys into believing he was anything more than that. he knew they wouldn't last and he still charged you 200$ to lie to your face about it.

so no. that man isn't revolutionary queer rep, he didn't put any thought worth mentioning into this ship and also while we're at it: lfjr is a terrible person who voted for trump and recently starred in weird qanon christian conservative movie. so do NOT even get me started on that.

I updated their outfit. Its a ripped straight jacket now. Lore. I gues.

Also some extra doodles and notes.

Insane brainworms tonight but after listening to almost nothing but Hozier, Lord Huron and Monster Hunter OSTs for the past three-ish weeks, I am now thinking of a Hunter/Rider Hyapollo AU entirely because I cannot get the image of Apollo crossing blades with Hyacinthus over Malzeno.

Like, Apollo would never ride Malzeno but he would be protecting Malzeno. Like he is absolutely studying the Qurios and specifially ways to rid the monsters in the valley from them when the people in a nearby village put the request out to the Guild for Hunters who can handle the berserk Malzeno problem. Hyacinthus is definitely a Master Rank Hunter who's on a specialist expedition from said Guild to put down the Malzeno and because Hunters don't really know about Riders, is gonna be taken entirely by surprise when him and his party are stopped by this blond Wyverian riding a Seregios drawing a line in the sand with his arrows and refusing to let them travel any further until they assure him they're not poachers/tourists or idiots.

Like, I need Hyacinthus stepping up to speak for the party only for Apollo to shoot an arrow and slice his cheek as a warning because he's crossed over the line. I need Polyboea (the expedition Handler) FURIOUSLY trying to get into contact with the base because "hey, hi, hello, you guys did NOT tell us that this was Seregios territory, nor were we informed that there was also a Wyverian village in the area what the FUCK??". I need Harpalus immediately popping open his helmet to smoke because it's already bad enough that this was an expedition to catalogue and possibly slay a berserk Elder Dragon (which, genuinely, truly could end in any or all of their deaths) but now you're adding pretty boys claiming to be Monster Riders (???) to the mix and truly he cannot be bothered to take this seriously.

All while in the center of the drama, Apollo still has his bow drawn and Hyacinthus is trying to reason with him (read: buy Polyboea time for that update because what the HELL is going on here) only to be immediately de-escalated when Apollo catches sight of Hyacinthus' Palamutes.

Usually i dont talk about shows or anything after ive fully finished them but im bored so il going to talk about s1 of tfa :

spoilers under cut

didnt like prowl at first because he wasnt working with the autobot gang and came off as self centred but its literally just his autism lol, i like how you see his love for nature and helping others , he's just more blunt about it .also i see the fans talk about how they dont like this prowl , i mean i cant say much because ive only ever watched tfp and this but i think prowls cool so

bumblee is so silly i like how he looks like a bug with his bigass head and large slanted eyes-also his drill-stinger things. Hes cute i like him

Bulkhead is so sweet omddd its so sad to see how hes the butt of the joke most of the time but i think he's cool in that he's not the most articulated but tries and cares about his friends deeply

Seeing ratchet with a beer belly was not on my 2025 bingo card after watching tfp but here we are , i like him he reminds me of my gcse art teacher lmao

I like this optimus because hes clearly young and inexperienced but is determined to be the best leader for his friends and the greater good. I like how he snaps and loses his temper in the last two episodes and is able to make up for it and save the city in the end.

As for the decepticons the ones i only really care about are black airachnia and megatron ,sorry -not that i dont care about the others guys its..idk . Anyways i like how megatrons a constant threat and you feel like hes clearly there even when hes not physically present which makes his appearance in the last two episodes powerful. Didnt expect elita 1 to become black airachnia but i like her a lot and how shes driven by wanting to go back to her past form, unlike the rest of the antagonists who want to take over the world yeah yeh yeah....airachnia's need for power comes from ger trauma

Uhh i dont have much about the human characters , i like sari ,also the dinobots are cool

[itskaist]

i literally had this post already drafted and was dragging my feet whether to send it or not; and then @reapersmarch tagged me for a wip so fuck it we ball

wouldst anybody perchance be interested in an fhr code chart like this? 👉👈
