IS THIS A FELLOW WITHER & BLOOM FAN I SEE ? No but fr you have absolutely immaculate taste in jiuyuan fics and I hardly see anyone talk abt that absolute masterpiece and so if it's not a bother..

what are your thoughts? theories? any opinions you have about it? or as I myself have left in pretty much every chapters comment section at least once, are there any songs you associate with it?

sorry I just love that fic so much and seeing you, a creator I greatly respect and who's work I adore, recommend it???? ugh this is like a dream come true

YES I AM!!! Hi!!! 👋👋 It’s no bother and I love being able to rant about fics with others <3 Im super flattered that you like my little doodles as much as I do making them!

I have so many feels about that fic and Jiuyuan’s pining, but it all just boils down to: Hou Xianrong can go rot in hell :)

But seriously, it’s a beautifully written story even though it can get difficult/painful to read sometimes 😬 (see above). I think I love the reveal/reunion scene the most tho. How a simple thing like a nosebleed could lead to finding out just how fucked you really are and the yearning~ my goodness 😭 

As for the street urchin jiuyuan pic, that was not intentionally for wither and bloom (I just wanted to draw young pissed off Shen Jiu and was wondering why he looked that way—realized everything is better with Jiuyuan lol) but it worked perfectly for it! Shen Jiu is fiercely protective of those he counts as his and I think that’s what sells me on this ship 🥺

As for music, hell yeah!

One World - Gargantuan Music

Prayers to the Wind - Eliott Tordo

Carry You - Ruelle

Starlight - Starset

Elastic Heart - Written by Wolves

Heavy - Linkin Park

Grave Mistake - Ice Nine Kills

Dynasty - MIIA (deeper vers)

Don’t Deserve You - Plumb

Yours - Russell Dickerson

Come Around - Papa Roach

Love Don’t Die - The Fray

I’ve got more but these are the ones that have the specific vibes and I love that music changes in meaning or emotion depending on whatever content you’re focusing on <33 Thank you sososo much!

Final words for School of Dragons

I'm inevitably gonna make other posts about the game but I just wanted to make a like, "final thoughts" sorta post while I uh... cope with this shutdown.

It's a bit of an understatement to say this game is a part of me. When people asked me about my favorite games, School of Dragons would always be on that list. People always look so underwhelmed when they saw it. They would even say it was a bad game. I just never cared. It had everything I wanted and it was good enough to me.

This game is the reason I got attached to the HTTYD world. Not the other way around. When Hiccup said goodbye to Toothless, I only cried because I thought about losing my own dragons when this game would inevitably, someday, go offline. I feel like I'm actually friends with all of these characters and enemies with the antagonists. There were arcs of understanding and misunderstanding. I even had dreams about my life on Berk, the Edge, and in the world itself. I prided myself in my ability to fly any dragon and fly them well. I could win races against furies with Monstrous Nightmares.

I grew with the progression of these movies and the game. When each event happened in the world, I experienced it with them. I experienced the events of the movies and the shows as they were released in the real world. Actual years of adventures with the gang, the antagonists, and my dragons.

It's so weird to care about something so much that isn't technically real. I guess this is just the reality for people like me, especially with the childhood I had. Feeling lonely without friends or a typical family. I'm pretty sure y'all know what I'm talking about and I barely need to explain it. Having a world to escape to and live in when the real world doesn't do it. Having something to inspire you and make it all worth it in the end. I guess it's just a lonely person thing. A lonely person with a lot of love who can't contain it. So you put it on something that inspires you when no one else will take that love. Maybe it's cringe, but idk.

It makes me feel better to know that others feel the same way. That's what I've been trying to think about this whole time. The fact that I was so lonely usually. That I've never really had anyone to play this game with and despite having fun and loving every single minute, I just never had anyone to enjoy it with. Now that I'm trying to bring people together, I finally have some people with the same interests as me. I wouldn't have started work on a role-play, or a discord server, or any of this if the game wasn't shutting down. I'm trying to think of it as a new beginning. Let's be honest. I wasn't playing the game as much as I used to. I got too busy, I wasn't invested sometimes. I often just came back for the racing. To have something I love be taken like this, it's enough to make me invest again.

When it came to my older dragons, I got them all to titanwing when the prices went down. I never grew them, so I took this opportunity. I grew Virgilio the monstrous nightmare, Bast the shockjaw, Thora the skrill, Eliott the stormcutter, Akeldama the death song, Hero the deathgripper, and Garipald the triple stryke. Of my main dragons, there was one I couldn't grow to the titan stage due to it not being in the game yet, my flame whipper, Prunella.

I can't say I have a favorite dragon. I love them all in different ways. I have amazing memories with all of them. She's really just... the dragon I would never see myself without. I wasn't expecting to find such an amazing friend in a flame whipper. When I imagined my "main" dragon I always imagined a monstrous nightmare, or maybe a beautiful stormcutter. It was a flame whipper, a dragon I didn't even know about before playing this game that got to me.

She couldn't grow to titan because of the simple constraints of the game. I've thought about drawing her as a titan but I just supposed they would add it someday. Now that I know that day is never gonna come, the only way she can grow is outside of the game, by my hand. Creating my own worlds and stories. My level won't end at 38, I'll keep writing and creating my adventures.

I understand that this is The End for a lot of players. They imagine sending them off to the Hidden World. I understand this, and I think this is amazing, but I think I still have some stories to tell. The timeline will split yet again. I'm not sure when it will be, but me and Prunella will be solving puzzles in crypts once again. Me and Virgilio will race once again. Hero will join me in battle once again. The sun may set today, but it will rise again tomorrow.

A Review of Skam FR Season 3 in 2023

THINGS I LIKED 》

▪︎ The stuff w/Lucas' mom & dad-it felt a tad more in depth than some other versions

▪︎ Their chemistry

▪︎ Side characters- I like the integration and excited to learn more as I go on

▪︎ More Lucas w/the girlsquad (Lucas & Imane/ Lucas & Daphne 🖤🖤)

▪︎ Mental illness-the tone feels different, and the context for this version really leans into Eliott's feelings of isolation all to lead up to that scene of Lucas finding him (wish they would've had more time to go deeper with that, though)

DIDN'T LIKE 》

▪︎ The ending felt rushed (last ep. disappointing)

▪︎ (Sometimes scenes hit you right in the gut & are done so right), and other times it's so half-baked like they attempted to serve up a large meal & they didn't cook it- it's like I know big scenes that are coming, but they feel rushed under the circumstances/ certain stuff would not make sense in this version and it feels like things happened w/out enough development imo (but this is mainly for the first half)

▪︎ Why does the "cheating" feel so much more cruel & simultaneously it doesn't feel justified for the girls to be not understanding? There were times where Lucas & Eliott basically said 'F you' but it also felt too much, for Chloe in particular, to react so harshly (in some instances she was overreacting for what had been established in their relationship). [Eliott's gf pretty much summed it up: they were envious, and that's pretty much it in this version].

FAVORITE SCENES 》

Painting

Lucas running to/finding Eliott in their reunion-that one hit right in the feels

Minute-by-Minute-so glad they used it

The 'kissing other girls party scene'-well played

GENERAL THOUGHTS 》

This "Even"/ Eliott seems more... open..upbeat(?) than Even to me; Lucas is more confident, or maybe bold, than Isak and it changes a lot of aspects of their relationship, which is not a critique but just an observation.

I wasn't really feeling this season as much until like episode 5. The angst was so good; I preferred that much more and seeing how they reacted was more interesting to me than their cute scenes in the 1st half of the season.

Sometimes they do just get it so so right w/how heartbreaking scenes are because of the context & new interpretation...

-The boat trespassing

-Lucas crying to his roommates

-Lucas texting Eliott to stop sending him drawings, which leads to

-> the scene of Eliott being found at his spot

Overall, I enjoyed it. I like the artistic feel of Skam France, and think that those scenes are where they excel the most. I think I'll prefer them as an established couple once they show up in other seasons vs the development of their relationship as odd as that may sound.

so, 305. I hate that there were so many lovable things about it. like the ducks around morgane’s house (bathroom, living room) keeping up with the theme--reminded me of those pictures books where you had to find the duckling hidden on every page! (speaking of; timothée il a un peu une tête d’Où est Charlie nan ? he’s got the stripes + glasses + hair) or the fact that morgane is randomly wearing floaties at the swimming pool 😂 (… maintenant que j’y pense, elle comptait peut-être les piquer pour chloé mdrr)

et les combines de serge. céline giving up on educating morgane on procedure, ptdr. l’employée de l’ehpad qui a un vague air de mylène farmer. [gros canard] still holds the title of HPI’s mr. worldwide. daphné being daphné. ("gilles..? 🤨 euh, oui. GILLES !") gilles STILL being way too good a friend (j’espère que sa psy lui dit), but also how close he was to morgane during the investigation, that was cute!

par contre, 2 trucs qui me hantent : 1) why does [gros canard] seem mesmerized by morgane’s neck while she goes on and on about the kid’s drawing?? 2) morgane’s lack of empathy at the pool. I didn’t expect her to joke about moms murdering each other right in front of the bereft husband 😧

Oh my gosh anon, I'm just so sad that this episode was so tainted and ruined for you 😭 It breaks my heart a little, and also it makes me dread for you, knowing what's coming ahead, but... one shitty plotline at a time, amirite?

Soooooo *cracks knuckles* let's get started 😈

"I hate that there were so many lovable things about it" -> literally me after watching the finale tbh 😂😭

I must say I didn't notice the ducks thingy but thank you for pointing it out, it really is reminiscent of those child books and was a very nice touch (the way this show can switch from absolutely shitty and unsubtle to actually brilliant and clever in the bat of an eye will never cease to baffle me) 😍 The duck jokes at the crime scene were excessively funny too, and the moment Bonnemain enters the game too with a joke that's not even funny?? Peak comedy! And Adam's reaction "Mais vous allez pas vous y mettre vous aussi ?!" -> 200% Artur vibes 😂

100% agreed that Timothée is a human waldo and was intended to be lol (also on en parle de Timothée qui offre le même polo à Théa ?? Who does that? 😂 It's like he asked for her to put it in the mopping supplies... And her general passive-aggressive animosity towards him was SO entertaining!)

And OMG I didn't even notice Morgane had floaties on at the swimming pool, this is hysterical 🤣 And re her lack of compassion, I must say Morgane's relationship with empathy has been a mystery for me since day one, sometimes we get to see her really sympathizing with the victims' families (the daughter in the pilot for instance, or the mall's widow in 201, or even the actual bledigirl), but also sometimes not ("ah bah ça tombe bien puisqu'elle est morte" with the victim's sister in 201), so this scene didn't strike me as particularly ooc, but her characterization regarding this specific personality trait is unclear. I'd say perhaps she tends to lose her compassionate skills when she gets excited about figuring out some stuff?

Serge's cancer kid scam was very fun to watch ("coucou c'est la maman du petit Eliott, bon bah il est mort" 😂), and also I wouldn't have noticed the ehpad employee's similarity with Mylène Farmer but now that you're pointing it out...

Somehow it warms my heart a bit to see you calling Adam [gros canard] this episode, I guess it shows you're on your way to forgive him? But maybe it's just my own wishful thinking lol! Anyway, yes, he also speaks Russian (and not to spoil, but Mehdi Nebbou is gonna keep on bragging in later eps 👅), and remember when I told you that your dream about escaping from Putin was foreshadowing? Well I was talking about this KGB bit haha 😆

No idea why he seems to stare at Morgane's neck in the hospital, perhaps he just can't look her in the eyes nor in the boobs (in his defense, she just talked to him about nipples) so he's stuck in between lol 😅 Or maybe Mehdi just forgot he was acting for a bit and was thinking about dinner or something idk... But there is indeed room for interpretation and I'll go with the most probable option which is that he's just mesmerized by her in general, especially in that episode where he's discovering that he can't stand seeing her with someone else (let's be real, everyone saw that coming but him 😂), so he's probably just staring at her while thinking "what the fuck is wrong with me?"

Daphné and Gilles were the heart and soul of this episode I swear!! I love Daphné's completely clueless but supportive ass, Gilles being so torn between friendships he's gonna break, the fact that he kept the charade going on for TWO MONTHS, the fact that apparently he talks about Morgane to his therapist 🤣, him trying to hide Morgane's presence from Adam at David's (he's the definition of the no-questions-asked friend who'll support you no matter what, we all need a Gilles in our lives 🥰) Daphné being ready to get any disabled but homophobic employee fired (worst idea ever to give her that workplace inclusion responsibility mais je l'a-dore), and also her blind anger towards Morgane, misunderstanding of the CENTURY 🤩🤩🤩

Also, did you notice that Gilles shaved, this ep? The man is such an Adam fangirl he's now cosplaying as him istg 🤣🤣🤣

[EDIT] OMG I JUST FIGURED OUT WHY YOU CALL HIM GROS CANARD ANON YOU ARE A GENIUS IN DISGUISE OK BYYYYYE

leave a light on chapter 3

"Do you remember the night I spoke to you at the Saint Benoit bus stop? I couldn't take my eyes off you. Even after I found out you had a girlfriend. I kept looking at you. That's how I know you always run the tip of your finger across your lips when you're embarrassed, just like now." His heartbeat racing against the rush of blood coursing through his veins. He pulled his hand away from his face and dropped it to his thigh. Lucas' gaze never left his face. "That you touch your forehead when you're considering what to do in a given situation. That your eyes light up when you find something exciting. You take a piece of that exciting thing with you into your art, but others don't notice because your imagination shapes it so much, transforms it so much, that you make it yours, make it your own. That you have a habit of drumming your feet on the floor when you want to scream in anger. How you twitch at the corner of your mouth when you're overcome with rage. How your gaze becomes distant when you're cut off from the world and lost in your thoughts, as if you're travelling to the most hidden corners of the universe in a minute. That a faint frown appears between your eyebrows as you draw, when you are carried away by the desire to create. Do you think I would know all of this if I hadn't noticed you? I was always watching you, Eliott, no matter who I was with, what I was doing. At the moment I saw you, you are the only thing that matter."

I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT! the key to drawing matt murdock is 1950’s sewing patterns

[suikamaru]

All of sudden, I wanna draw elu with a panther and a leopard...well, that’s not quite true tho because I’ve had this thought like last week? can’t tell the exact time when my head full of school works and the upcoming exams lol 

[gentlespace]

CONGRATS on the follower milestone eliott!! Could I perhaps request….hmmm Yoda and the colour red?

Thanks so much Red!! This is the most you thing I think I could ever draw! Hope you like it!

[brieflygorgeouss]

Part1. I'm the anon who asked you the question about the scenes, I thought you weren't going to answer at this point, thanks for doing so! I'm sorry if it caused you more negative feelings than positive though. Anyway, I'm kind of cheating with my answer as it's tiftty-themed, but I had to narrow it down, picking favorites stresses me out lol. So, in no particular order: 1) When in chapter 1 Lucas is watching Eliott do the dishes and keeps looking at his hands

and then Eliott puts them on Lucas' knees right before kissing him, it's a simple scene but I like it so much! Maybe it's the focus on the hands idk, but I can "feel" it. 2) When they go to the petite ceinture and Lucas gets mad because he feels like a charity case but Eliott tells him that they all worry just 'cause they care (and I love how it' s paralleled when Eliott is talking about Idriss and Sofiane keeping an eye on him), and then Lucas asks "why did you think I'd talk to you?" and Eliott answers "for the same reason you actually did, I guess". Idk if that's the exact wording but I love that moment!! 3) "it's how I see you". 4) At the party in ch.6 I think? First when they're in the kitchen (hot!!), and then when they kiss in the street for the first time and Lucas thinks "he's here with me". 5) When Eliott goes with Lucas to the bookstore (and istg I want to slap some sense into Lucas in that scene more than any other time!) Part4. Honorable mention: Eliott and Lucas at the cafe! Ugh!!! Hope you have a nice weekend!!

no don’t be sorry! this is wonderful! ❤️ it was a difficult question to answer but im happy you sent it to me, i’m sorry if i upset you! 

ahh i’m so glad you enjoy “things i forgot to tell you’ so much!! i was trying very hard to make that kitchen scenes in ch.6 kind of tension-heavy if u know what i mean, hehe 

Lucas and Eliott at the cafe HURT i was writing but i was also yelling at them both, they are idiots....when are they going to fix things between them. can the author already write the happy ending finally. where is she, what is she doing, i have no idea

[crazyabeh]

A little racoon because i miss Eliott
