i needdd a roleplay where blamore finally let's the spines around it's neck grow to full size in front of another muse... because you know that he feels intimidated when that happens as they are quite literally HUGE

✧･ﾟ open | mutuals only | saul's a lil' shadowy creecher and almost runs into your muse ･ﾟ✧

Small pit-pat, pit-pattering steps phase through a locked door and down the awaiting corridor. They hurry and leave smudged pawprints on the floor, on the walls until— Small claw tipped paws comes to a screeching halt. A tiny thing with too many eyes peer up and up at the person before them. There comes a noise behind an object clutched tightly between it's maw; an angry sounding squeak, if anything.

You're in it's way and they're in a hurry.

🤔 You know, I had another little thought the other day about Ethereals (because I never have enough of those!) on like... atmospheric stuff that transpires when they go full radiance or even partly so that isn't just incinerating and irradiating everything around them. Again, they have a very prominent electrical motif going on along with the spooky star stuff.

It's been a given for a while they obviously mess with electronics, whenever this happens (very apt in so many ways - much like ghosts in media - much like actual, real deal solar flares can mess with stuff here on earth too - I love how the electrical/ionic stuff does a perfect tango with the spooky and star stuff!) But I had an additional, even spookier thought that they just... emanate this freaky "electrical" or "radioactive" atmosphere if you do manage to get close enough to them without any problems with the heat. Like... a really good example of what I'm trying to say here is they do be bringing in those Little Nightmares 2 Thin Man vibes. (I love this guy. I love his portrayal so much. I have to show you what I mean.)

Media-wise, there is visual and sound design to him that is just downright unsettling in a very electrical way and I love it and swear, it would be an Ethereal thing, whenever they're getting up there in the radiance department. Even the heartbeat is there along with it.~

(Which, for those who don't know: Ethereals pulse - their Ethereal appendages and whatnot have a pulse that is synchronized to their hearts. They have a tell there, for those who want one. You can tell how emotionally compromised they may be from the speed and strength of the pulse and whatnot.~)

When thinking about Vance, I definitely think about Thin Man (and yes, obviously, to some extent, Slender Man. But Thin Man is where it's at for me, here.)

Though all Ethereals may have this effect, Vance's darker color scheme and just - everything about him, even the way he moves, in ways - would really remind you of this. That most recent WIP, I can just see him approaching you slowly and going all Thin Man on your senses. Hahaha!

(Behind the scenes artist time: I even messed with the RGB separate layers a little harder in Photoshop to add to that effect on that WIP. It's a wonderful little something to add to some pieces as it is, by the way! Some art programs already have filters that do it all for you - the "VHS effect" - I've always done it manually through Photoshop, though. I can show any of y'all how to do it anytime, if you'd like to try it too.~)

Let's take 2 minutes to appreciate den den mushi's appearances. Flawless creatures.

Me, right before I start discussing a Topic Online with naive hopes for productive conversation: this is a bad idea!

Me, right after discussing a Topic Online and remembering that nothing good is achievable when you discuss Topics Online: this was a bad idea!

Lady (Finn's mabari): *takes off in the market*

Finn: "Huh. Guess she's off to go shopping."

Lady: *returns with a child*

Finn: "We can't keep it you know."

Lady: *argumentative bark*

Finn: "If he comes with us he'll have to fight darkspawn you know."

Lady: *whines*

Finn: "I know he's too young, that's my point. Now go put him back."
