Apologies for yet another long wait. I can pretty safely say though that updates will be more frequent from here on out

Especially because there's something BA HRT related that another hivemate is working on atm that'll probably be coming out in the next couple of days

decorative panther head from the nemi ships

The big cats (lions and a panther) adorned the main crosswise structures, the wolves the lengthwise structures. The lions have a tamer appearance whilst the wolves are fiercer: their bared teeth, taut muscles and small lowered ears give these animals a proud beauty, exalted by the use of bronze. Standing out in this group is the panther, whose spotted coat is rendered by damascening, a special artistic metal working technique used to obtain a multicoloured decoration; in this case sheets of copper and tin have been inserted onto the metal surface. The moveable ring between the teeth seemingly intended for mooring actually had an ornamental function or was used for hanging garlands. Age of Caligula (87 - 41).

hi

i have some ideas about halos.

so heres the idea: someone with a strong connection to their god (or demon or whatever it is that theyre worshiping) gets a halo from their affinity with said god. these are granted specifically by the god themself so not everyone has them. depending on their specific relationship with their god, the halo will appear in different places!

here's my expanded ideas for a few, as introduced in the drawing above:

classic halo

its your standard everyday floating above the head halo, nothing special about it

normally granted to priests

collar halo

hovers around neck

for followers who are Really, Really dedicated to their god. i mean really dedicated. "i will do anything even if i don't know what 'anything' actually is" level dedicated. you know how dogs are, right?

some wear it casually, some wear it like a noose, some wear it like a necklace.

basically works like a normal collar but can only be manipulated at the god in question's behest

armband halo

hovers around bicep, which arm it is depends on the follower's dominant (or preferred if they're ambidextrous) hand.

amputee followers are rare but in the case that someone doesn't have an arm the halo hovers at an angle above their shoulder instead

generally reserved for generals and other military leaders within the god's army if they have one

the hand

appears around the follower's dominant wrist

only seen on those who carry out the plans and will of their god down on earth. gods tend to not get involved in messy stuff so they find someone to do the dirty work for them down on the mortal plane. is also a play on the phrase "right hand man"

voice

appears around tongue

i feel like this one speaks for itself, really (HA).

not for proselytizers- only for those who speak directly for their god

the follower in question may be selectively or forcibly mute the rest of the time. it varies depending on the person and the god.

eyes

also quite self-evident. appears as a glowing band around the followers' irises (or iris). if they don't have eyes then the halo settles around the level of their eye sockets instead.

whatever they see, their god can also. this isn't a 24/7 thing unless said god chooses it to be. still, they tend to not get a lot of privacy

there have been a couple of blind followers designated their god's Eyes on Earth, which is pretty damn cool if you ask me (and also more than a little bit fucked up)

ears

halo manifests vertically around an ear

works the same way as the eye halo does but for hearing instead

the exalt

rarest

only seen with gods and possessed followers

appears as a filled-in circle of light behind the god or follower's head- if you're familiar with catholic iconography you'll understand what i mean. if not, just look up the wikipedia page for halos (religious iconography) and scroll the examples of christian art including halos

followers are rarely possessed by their gods because commonly gods have enough power to manifest a form on their own and need no vessel. a god in physical form may hide or obscure their halo at will. however, in the case that the god is too weak to assume a form of their own, they will sometimes take over a follower's body to intervene directly in a situation. the follower's body will assume the halo in this case and it cannot be hidden

shoutout to christianity for giving me the idea for this one. i got my problems with the jesus fandom but their character designs fuckin slap

some notes:

followers of one god can only have one halo at a time. polytheists can have several at once, one for each god, although this is extremely rare

followers with halos can naturally see each other's halos. those without have to look harder and nonbelievers (of any god) often cannot see them at all

i didn't intend the collar halo idea to be interpreted as a sex thing but if you want to do that then you can ig. im not a cop

yes the halos are customized depending on the god! some of them put time and effort into it. most don't though

ACARMF, or ACARs for Morphological Freedom. Short for Anti Contact Anti Recoveries for Morphological Freedom.

• Anti contact: against romantic and sexual relations between chrono youth and those significantly older.

• Anti recovery: against “recovery” from paraphilic attractions. Out attractions are not illnesses or something we should “recover from.”

• Pro transid/transx and pro transitioning for non harmful transids. Transids like trace and transabled are not transharmful identities.

*ACARMF is against transharmful transitioning. NCRP (non consensual role play) and similar simulated actions do not count as full transitioning for transharmful identities.

The first version of the ACARMF flag. The “Ѧ” symbol is the symbol for anti contacts against chrono youth age gaps in sexual and romantic relations. Yellow represents anti recovery. Cyan and red both reference my body modification symbols. Pink represents self expression and is pro “cringe.”

The second version of the ACARMF flag. The same symbol with the same meaning. The yellow, red, and cyan stripes have the same meaning as the first flag. The difference is the removal of the pink stripe and the addition of the purple stripe. The purple stripe once again references my modification symbols.

These past few days have been rough for me so sorry y’all for not doing a lot, but update: I like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit now. Also I am studying rubberhose! Here’s some art from recently!

(Image ID: Digital, painterly art of Oswald the Rabbit in a mixture between his old and new forms. Mostly, he still has his suspenders from his first film. He kicks his foot and raises his hand, giving an energetic and inquisitive expression. He says, “Who, me?”. There is also a small sketch of him looking smug in the top right. End ID)

Here’s practice for lipsyncing using Oswald in “Africa” sing his theme song and doing a gay little dance (I just drew over his mouth and noted things that were interesting to me.). This was when he was in Universal’s hands and got changed around a little bit, but he eventually reverted back to his normal form. He’s saying, “Lucky, Habit. That lucky Oswald habit! If you, want it, here’s what you must do.”

Compilation of bad screenshots from various Oswald shorts under the cut:

I’m starting to believe he’s not too lucky after all

Teriyaki salmon, edamame, and broccoli over brown rice with spicy pickled red onion and seaweed.

Somehow I am capable of perfect, melt-in-your-mouth oven salmon every time, but when it's in a pan like this I invariably overcook it. Flavors are great though.

ok, thanks for playing, that was so much fun !!! :]

this is my team btw:

Eevee (Normal; ability Adaptiblity)

Mimikyu (Ghost/Fairy, ability Disguise)

Ditto (Normal, ability Impostor)

Wooloo (Normal, ability Fluffy)

Mareep (Electric, ability Static)

Golbat (Poison/Flying, ability Infiltrator)

I got three badges, failed at the 4th gym twice and immediately gave up. I tried to join the local Evil Team because I thought it sounded like a pretty alright job to have, but failed some sort of application process. I work at the pokéball factory now and hate it. I have no idea what I'm doing and my entire team gets wrecked when I meet something tanky with decent attack stats that can counter Mimikyu and Golbat, which are arguabily my strongest pokémon - Mimikyu mainly because it can always take One Single Hit for sure. I refuse to evolve Wooloo and Mareep lest they be less sheep shaped. If we're friends, you get weekly voice messages at 2 am where I'm freaking out about either "I don't know what to evolve my Eevee into, what if it doesn't even Want to evolve???" or "My Golbat won't evolve into Crobat, why does it haaaate me????"

But hey - Black Arms HRT returning within the week of Shadow Generations' release is pretty dope, ain't it?

absolutely obsessed with this caption (for context this is off the instagram story of the guy who played la mort in elisabeth bruxellons) (credit to @/fitzrove for the compilation video in which i found this)

in english it's basically "i forgot to add sound to this video... or maybe it was because of the rain 🤔 anyway it was basically to say that it was raining and it sucked but that we were going to finish the show or else i'd kill everyone! 👿" like hello??? sjkfhklsdfhskh
