Then why was Jax laughing? 🥺

IS THAT HYPERPIGMENTATION???

The Sooga and Master Kohga I did for @happymasking and my phones. Tagging @battyccino because the makeup/facepaint and facial hair on Kohga is based entirely on theirs. Also just full on recommending people look at their Yiga art because everyone should if they like Yiga.

rusa & her body, self-image, and related psyche.

I THINK it's so interesting the way rusa views herself/body/sexuality/romance bc like. THIS GIRL? LOVES OPEN NECKLINES AND A LOTTA CLEAVAGE. AND CINCHES HER WAIST HARD WITH CORSETS TO CREATE THAT TWO-STACKED-CIRCLES LOOK. but like... she does not At All view that as a sexual thing or an attraction thing. she just likes the way her tittos look when they're all squished up contrasted against the open neck and shoulders. it looks graceful and elegant and playful. especially when paired with a long skirt / an otherwise modest but detailed outfit. it's just a VIBE ok

i know that ppl view it as an annoying trope when a femme character is sexy + doesnt know it, so i'm SORRY if that's smth people feel abt her, but for me it comes less from a "more Attractive and Virtuous bc she doesn't know she's sexy" standpoint (cough. cough. l.or.e oly.mp.us cough cough—) and more from a "girl used to be a selkie (it's complicated¹), so there is something Wild in her that sees Body as something that isn't taboo to expose" context. like, if it weren't clear as day that walking around nude is Not an Okay Thing To Do, she would 100% be walking around nude. or in like one sheer half-wet cloth wrap, wandering the moors. though she's lost her memories and her pelt (and with it, a chunk of her soul), she hasn't lost those wild instincts.

AT THE SAME TIME, upon being spat out in london, she is taken in (lol get it) by a seamstress and learns to help her tailor clothes as an apprentice. rusa immediately takes a liking to the styling of very feminine (and, yes, a little dated) swishy skirts and corsets and bustiers.

over time, as she migrates to shelter island or whatever other area the thread takes place in, i think... because of the traps she falls into for her passivity and naïveté ( aka felix, violet, god only knows what next ), mad scientist manipulation bad relationship after mad scientist kidnapping gaslighting and experimentation bad relationship kind of acted as the ice pick wedging itself into her self-image and cracking away at it until it crumbled. useless unless used.

because she's a big ol prude, this never manifested in terms of flinging herself at anyone who wanted her like it did for anah and layla; rather, it manifested, alongside the constant yawning chasm in her soul left behind by her pelt, as wanting to be needed. because like. man. girl does not believe anyone would realistically want her just to want her — they'd only want her for what she can do for them. how she can be Useful. being america's most wanted: mage edition (a conduit) kind of just. confirms this.

so that kind of seeps out into her body image as well. feeling spiritually unwanted led her to feel physically unwanted and she ended up burying ALL OF THAT in the Repression Hole and building the best happymask the world has ever seen KJSDHFKSHDFKJ. but ... i don't think she's been truly happy for a long time. she's felt joy, bursts of it, and contentment, but on a base level there's always the sense of uselessness/emptiness² gnawing at the edges of her psyche. it's an emptiness that, so far, only the unwavering red-flag Singular Attention from toxic people has been able to fill, because it feels like someone reaching into the emptiness inside of her and twisting their hands in it. hurts, sure. but it's something.

anyway. those are her emotional support gahungalungas, thank u. her licensed therapy gohonkdonkeroos. she squisha them when she feels stressy.

¹ from rusa's bio: Born into the same pod of selkies as her sister Lelyah, Rusalka was the slightly-younger of the two. She came out different from Lelyah despite their striking physical similarity: small and timid, passive to a fault. Her parents and their aunts instantly showed favoritism to Rusa over Lelyah due to Lelyah's 'difficult child' behaviors. However, Rusa was also born a Conduit, her body a natural magical battery that could cause great damage if she threw a tantrum (and did, especially as a toddler.) ... their souls shine bright on radars that detect magical beings, breaking through cloaking spells and alerting hunters to their presence from miles away. A run-in with a hunter close to the surface caused Rusa's abilities to react to her fear, expelling stored sunlight far enough to alert the hunter's outpost and sending them after her pod almost faster than they could flee. There were casualties – two elders, an uncle, a family friend. The pod's matriarchs met. Lelyah, with hurt and anger at her sister festering over decades, voted to kill Rusa for the safety of the pod. ... Rusa was sent to the surface. Her pod pooled their magical energy to cast a transmutation spell and turn her into a human, severing her connection to the seal pelt she once wore. ... They gave her false memories: a mother back in Ireland, a fight that left her a runaway. ... Lelyah – soon to rename herself Layla – was cast out with no such safety precautions, only the warning that she would be considered a threat if she ever showed her face again.

² there's a reason the song empty vessels fits her SO well

My belly filled with rich anointing oils You snap me by the neck to break the seal You touch me to your tongue and call it holy The loss reminds me what it is to feel (I guess it means that's worth the time it takes to heal) Empty vessels Fill me, fill me I was made to pour out all my insides, fill me I've been sitting in your highest cupboard, fill me I was built to hold the weight of safety, fill me Fill me, otherwise I'm empty I am not a wellspring, not a fountain I don't keep what I've been given It's my lot to pour it out again, untouched I will give it sanctuary I will hold it deep inside me For a time until you're thirsty, you're so thirsty I'm so thirsty, I'm so -

It's this thing's legacy that will forever keep me from removing the sideblog because I'd never be able to replicate the organic growth of its first posting.

I bet @happymasking is pleased my constant updates on its progress have slowed, at least.

I forgot about the highlight of my playthrough of TotK.

[godblooded]

“ you are so strong . ” (link..)

no longer a boy, the hero of time is a man forgotten. the sword of legend is yet yours, but you know, you know you will lose it. you know it is singing in the fate of your veins. you know the blade will fall silent and bloodied and with your last breath, you hope, you will jam it back into its pedestal. your time has not yet come. navi tink, tink, tinks over to you and you lift your fingers and your leather gauntlets. fist pounds and fingers walk, touch, touch, tap, diligent. navi tinks whence more. 

hey! she calls out, a bell chiming from dusty, glittery wings, he says you gotta be too! look how many masks you have, yeah! 

you raise your right arm and make a mockery of a little flex, sinew and muscle definitive for the eyes of the salesman in a joking manner. your smile is soft but wide. navi jingles with each flex, always one with your thoughts.

[coldsheetmask]

Mediheal Teatree Care Solution Essential Mask

My immediate reaction was that the mask was so soft and it was the perfect size for my face. I’ve only used three other sheet masks lol, but this one is by far the most comfortable I’ve tried so far.

12 hours after using the mask, all I can say for the Essence is “meh.” The Essence left me lightly hydrated and made my pores appear smaller. This mask is not a glow maker. I’ve come to expect a certain glow the morning after I use a sheet mask, and this did not deliver.

Ultimately, I think I might repurchase this mask in the summer to try it again. With the cold weather, I can’t say this gave me what my skin needed, but wearing the mask felt so nice that I really want it to work for me at some point.
