#crisis redo

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

Also, I found a pic of what the inside of Lena's and her mom's house kinda looks like in my Crisis Redo fic.

Just a bit more cramped and cluttered. Their house is old and as smaller rooms, but the general vibe is there.

EDIT: the statue next to the couch would NOT be there. Thanks to @elizabethgoudge for pointing it out, bc I did not see it.

The subject of the painting is Gauguin's 13-year-old native "wife" Teha'amana (called Tehura in his letters), who one night, according to Gauguin, was lying in fear when he arrived home late: "immobile, naked, lying face downward flat on the bed with the eyes inordinately large with fear [...] Might she not with my frightened face take me for one of the demons and specters, one of the Tupapaus, with which the legends of her race people sleepless nights?" Gauguin was suffering from advanced venereal disease when he came to Tahiti, and he passed it onto Teha'amana, who was his first sexual partner on the island.

'The Adoration of the Shepherds With a Donor.' Palma Vecchio. A contemporary of my maker, Marius De Romanus, also a fine painter, albeit one of lesser skill. In fact, the donor in the title was my maker. The canvas painted in my maker's studio. And in this case, the donation was…What is the modern word for it? In kind. This is Amadeo.

He's 20 years here. He was rescued from a brothel when he was 15, named… named Arun then, I think. I cannot be sure. The abuse in the brothel was such that he cannot be sure that's what his… parents named him. Arun. The parents that sent him to work on a merchant boat in Delhi when in actuality they had sold him…into slavery to the ship's captain. All… fragments. Shackled on the boat. The brothel. My maker's purchase. His renaming me.

His reluctance to share the Dark Gift, knowing what it would do to his beloved Amadeo. I served him with all my heart. Basked in his mercy, his worshipful mercy. Still… Amadeo had a skill. And if a friend wandered into town, I was occasionally… donated.

Meatier in the forearms, but then this was… seven years before I was stricken with illness, before I was turned, and imbued with my powers.

don't mind me, I'm just thinking aloud about art as a form of colonial violence when artists take part in the sexual exploitation of underage people of color, name changing, orientalism, monstrosity, and blood+sex-transmittable diseases in the context of Armand

pretty sure whoever first said they feel like they're cosplaying as a pretty girl when they put on make-up/dress up has fundamentally changed my life

I've been having a rough week so I decided to do a bit of a Throwback Thursday and repost most of my favorite Sephesis pieces. I have a lot more, because I've had brainworms about these two basically since CC first came out, but they're all too old or too sketchy for me to be comfortable sharing in public.

lol I should probably get back to work on sketches for @sephesisweek dsklgjsld

If the boys were scooby doo characters

Angeal is Fred (obviously)

Sephiroth imo is Shaggy

Zack is scooby (obviously)

Who's gen in your opinion?

Scrappy Doo lmao

Hated by the majority of the fandom, yet instead of working to build off of him and improve his reputation with better portrayals, people would rather just bitch and moan and make the same five tired jokes over and over again.

Glenn: Okay, maybe playing ‘Whose Family Is The Most Dysfunctional’ wasn’t the best idea I’ve had. Sephiroth has been crying in the woods for an hour, and I can’t get him to leave.

I kinda feel like I'm falling apart

so magu djed for an event which. cool good for them (bitter i couldnt be there) BUT they posted the set list & i know this means absolutely nothing bc its a set list & u just. know put things how they sound good. but oh my god is this secretly the timeline of the songs because i wont lie to u. it makes so much sense

ignoring the songs that arent series songs for obvious reasons. im not posting the pic of the other songs but if ur wondering the other series songs in order (broken up by other songs from other producers) were kannagi, kyuuyaku, ashura, and touhikou. shoushitsu wasnt on the list at all which makes sense bc it was a dj event and that songs 11 minutes. anyway so that order for the past songs also makes sense to me with kannagi being the "keep ur heads up we might be able to beat this somehow" song, kyuuyaku with the more technical & hands on approach, ashura with. whatever that is(im sorry this is actually my 3rd fave series song theres just so many words back to back making sense of it is. awful), and then touhikou the running away when nothing else worked. that sounds like a pretty logical timeline to me.

then for the ones im showing here, the more "present/current" type songs. this order makes so much sense. oumen's about the sacrifice ive gone over this 37 times im sure u all get it by now, laboratory has things in it about ignoring faults & things that didn't work which i never connected to the sacrifice before i was thinking that was just in general but It Makes Sense if its about the events in oumen & we know labo ends up dying as well, yamete kudasai i knew was connected to labo so that also makes sense to me & it would also make her anger make sense seeing as shes now the THIRD one to lose her life permanently over bullshit reasons, kanon is of course regret that the sacrifice was ever made but continuing on regardless & obviously that means what happened in oumen but very well could mean the other two as well, maximizer literally has that whole novel in the middle about recognizing sense of purpose & freewill & that those who've lost it disappear entirely. which makes a lot of sense & probably more than i was originally thinking if she just directly witnessed it happen to 3 people, and then of course apoptosis who cant take anymore after whatever events happen & honestly her breakdown is even more reasonable if its not just the angel she had to lose & then carry on like none of it happened. after all that she gets a free pass to cause problems on purpose i think.

ive known for a While the order the songs are posted isnt the chronological order of the songs & there's absolutely no proof this is the correct order either but holy shit does it make sense if true

Veld and Tseng, pre-BC, caught working out by a photographer from a gossip mag.

An older piece drawn for a zine back in mid/late 2021, but I finally got it cleaned up today to put on INPRNT. The original version wasn't big enough (drawn to fit a half page in an A5 booklet), so I had to scale it up and smooth out some lines and colors etc. Cleaned up nicely, though.

✨ Get the print here! ✨

oh thank goodness I found the brush I used on this thing 😭 had a crisis like two weeks ago (? maybe. the passage of time escapes me you know how it is) when my computer restarted to update without my permission and Clip removed the last like 80 brushes I'd added bc it closed incorrectly and I had to go add them BACK and REORGANIZE everything again. two thumbs down

[woolpines]

so, im actually gonna try and sit and play the sims 3?? i want to do another legacy challenge starting on an empty lot with barely any money-

ithink the best thing about 3d printed fursuit head bases is that they're reusable. first fursuit's bad quality? no longer attached to the character? want to change a suit's design but can't afford a new base? just peel the fur off that bitch!!!!! all it takes is a shitty kmart craft knife and some patience!!!! though i do warn that peeling a fursuit looks and feels very strange...
