I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW FALIN SM like her body proportions and her nose especially. Also her eyebrows. And like, in comparison to Marcille… they look so good next to each other ty for the food 💕

WAAAAUGH TYSM!!! whenever i get into a new thing w a relatively simplified art style (face-wise, at least) it's always my great joy to start extrapolating on their faces and introducing more variety. the toudens immediately struck me as big nose and thick eyebrow havers that was non-negotiable bc i looove those facial features so much and it just felt right. and i also love that falin at the very least has broader shoulders and is bigger than other women we've seen, so you bet i'm taking that and running with it. (good practice for me too, bc i use myself as reference and i'm pretty small and skinny so that's how my characters default.) also marcille! she's elven so she gets delicate, conventionally attractive features and large eyes, but also i like to think she got a bit of her dad's rounder nose (girls who look like clones of their fathers unite) which sets her apart from other elves who are all sharper and leaner. (the resemblance to daddy donato is supported by canon but kui tends to default to a particular nose so i'm expanding on that.) i love giving existing character designs my own spin, so i am so so glad you like em as much as i do! 💖💖💖

SO HAPPY THAT YOU THINK FARCILLE LOOKS GOOD TOGETHER ALSO! i have a sketch page of them i'm holding off on until i finish the little comic i have attached and one of my favourite things about it is how much smaller marcille's hands are. so important to me. thank you dunmeshi new year's 2024 comic. i think maybe the height difference is only tangential to what you meant but i go a little insane over it so i need to mention it somewhere. anyway thank you for the great start to my day, mwah mwah!

RDR2 fandom in a nutshell

A seasoned outlaw with 20 years of experience on his belt pranks his friend by cocking his gun:

Fandom: Omg he could have killed him! How reckless, that's not funny!!! What an asshole!! 🤬😰😱😭

Joined a gang a few months ago, no actual experience, blows a guy brains out while he's still being held.

Fandom: ASDFGHJKL GRL PWR YEEES BITCH 😍🤩🤪

Made of winners, my team go ham with it

Don't you let these pretty faces fool you

Savage underneath (Yeah, we're so savage)

Whatever the problem

We know how to solve 'em (Yeah, yeah)

Bet you can't rack up these checks

Give it a shot but you'll end up finessed

Honorable Mentions

Three posts simply were not enough for last week, but alas, I am only one person and my attention span is only so long (ADHD kicks my ass on the daily, but we soldier on through the obsessive minutes of productivity and the hours long spells of procrastination). That’s all to say, I’d love to rapid fire through a few thoughts before tomorrow’s drops because it’s going to be a doozy this week. Jaguar II, Yours Truly Deluxe, Miley, and if I’m feeling generous, I might even give Aubrey a listen. Let’s hop in >>>

Better Things – Aespa: I personally like this sound on Aespa. It fits their voices well; they shine the most when they can flex their vocal technique. It’s clean and the video reflects the brightness. Now, does it suffer from the SM Ent. trademark tone shift and break*? Absolutely. But as per usual, once you get past the first listen and you expect it, it’s not as jarring, [*I’ll go into more depth about this in a different post but iykyk]

HOT TO GO! – Chappell Roan: This blurb is more of an excuse to celebrate the fact that an album is finally coming for the Pink Pony Club. For all of the girls, gays, and theys, if you’re not on Chappell, don’t walk, RUN. After a string of clever, charming, and just damn catchy singles, she’s finally announced her debut album. HTG! Is just as fun and poppy as the rest boasting a chant along chorus that is impossible not to join in. This is a win for people who a) are hot, b) love pink, and c) are kind of annoying, but did I mention the hot part? Go listen. 

Rainy Days – V: I’ve touched on this a little, but I’m just so charmed by V as an artist. I think there’s a clear vision here and it’s a little melancholy, but so warm it feels like the sadness is immediately being nursed by the most comforting hug. Some solo stans are upset about the general reception or lack thereof, but I think we’ve got to look at a few key factors here– Taehyung is doing the promo he wants. He’s mentioned that the company would do more, but he just wants to take the simple route, which I believe is indicative of the genre. Point blank period, R&B does not get the same reception as Pop songs. It’s just the nature of the beast. As I’ve mentioned, some songs are formulated to be radio smashes and they absolutely kill because that’s what they’re designed to do. V is making the music he wants knowing that there’s going to be a muted response and he’s cultivating a space for that. You either rock with it, or you don’t. I for one cannot wait to be cozy listening to this album in the fall. Which brings me to my one grievance: this is not the music to release (even pre-release) in Summer. Pumpkin spice lattes aren’t even available yet, and we’re looking for rainy days. In Min Hee Jin  we trust (I know a lot of people have issues with her, and I probably will never go out of my way to speak about NwJns because some of them are minors and I do not wish to engage minors, but you cannot deny that she curated a great second mini album for them that will transition from Summer to Fall seamlessly) and I know this album is going to be very well produced and he doesn’t necessarily have a ton of say in when he is able to release for various reasons, but I do wish the winter bear was able to reclaim his season. 

New Dance– XG: This one is kind of cheating timeline wise, but I don’t have a ton of thoughts. The song is a well produced homage to the early 2000s hip hop we all (hopefully) know and love. The easy acoustic rhythm and well handled rap verses are easy listening at its finest. I wish this was the follow-up to ‘Grl Gang’ instead of ‘TGIF’ so that it could’ve been released a little earlier in the Summer (I guess I’m not getting over this season thing, but I really think it makes the difference.) There’s a lot of potential here, maybe even another 2000s legend collab could’ve happened earlier in the Summer. Tap Nelly to give you a verse a la ‘Ride With Me’ which this song clearly calls back to. It works for XG to draw on nostalgia to draw in their audience.  Once you’ve got the eyes, experiment on the album which isn’t coming for a while yet. 

Now for the real rapid fire>>>

Unreal Unearth – Hozier: When the woodland fairy king comes a callin’, I answer. There are some bangers on this one. 

AR - EP – Addison Rae: I only listened to the Charli XCX feature because of course, but I’m a little intrigued to listen to it? From what I can tell, the gays have claimed Ms. Addison, which I’m not fully sold on, but I can’t say the marketing isn’t there. Might listen for science. 

[TBR] Snow Angel – Renee Rapp: I like her as a person, therefore I need to give this the time of day before I listen to Addison. I’m always going to favor queer representation over a cosign. 

So much music, so little time, but I’m so enamored with the machine. Until tomorrow x
