[ID: A digital reference sheet of a Sea Butterfly-themed mer design for Sun, containing various poses. In the top left is a full-body drawing of Sea Butterfly!Sun. He has a big smile with a tooth gap, red cheeks, white eyes, and orange tentacles that mimic sun rays around his head. His body is mainly blue and translucent, and his chest, arms, and tail glow yellow and orange. He has his arms spread out, showing off his blue, translucent wings and fins. To his left is another full-bodied drawing of Sun, this time from a side view. He is swimming horizontally to the right with his left arm reaching forward. In the right corner is a small reference photo of a sea butterfly on a black background. Underneath all of that is a drawing of Sun being cradled in a pair of light gray hands. He is hunched over, facing slightly left and looking up at someone off-frame. He has a nervous expression and he has his hands up, seemingly in protest. To the right of him is a speech bubble that reads, “F-Friend… You shouldn’t go swimming after dark.” The background is a light gray. END ID.]
whoaaaaaa omg they added a new hi fi rush character haha when did that get there (real) (not clickbait)
uhhh hi i finished hfr the other day and absolutely freakin loved it. chai stole my heart the minute he was introduced i couldn't NOT do some oc x canon shenanigans :] this is mocha she works for vandelay HR and pretends she doesnt hate it but shes probably exploding the nearest person with her mind always. i dont have much else for her (for now) but she comes in post-canon when chai's already working as the project armstrong ambassador
Journey to Mor Pankh rerun already so I can write a piece on Kumar and Shamane and how they never could’ve been happy siblings but Kumar would’ve had a breakdown over not being able to direct her anger at him.
Shamane genuinely wanted nothing more than to be by Kumar’s side and grow up with her the second he found out she was his sister. In his flashback talking about her you could really tell that he was so dazzled like “huh I don’t really get why this cool researcher is here” but rationalized her as a friend of the family. Hell she IS his driving point. And he’s her driving point too. The second he found out that she was his SISTER? He ran away and that’s where his character story started. Which is such an important and noteworthy choice because not every character event is a backstory or tells you what a characters bond to another was.
And Kumar���s arcanum WAS strong. She MADE it strong. She wasn’t born with a gift like KB or Matilda and grew it, she had to start from what was implied to basically be nothing. Then she still became such an incredibly strong arcanists and diviner that she discovered a star far before anyone who was born with strong arcanum did. She needs more time and steps to channel a strong arcanum but KB inherited her techniques and her ability and she’s a POWERHOUSE. She throws a STAR at people and she learned that from Kumar!!! She didn’t start with talent but she built it up so far that it took basically two people on the level of someone she taught and raised from childhood to bring her down!! Even then Kumar didn’t suffer extreme of injury considering how bad a rebound on a spell like that has to be on the mental state.
Shamane was driven to the city purely because he sought out Kumar who sent him that letter. After living and learning his entire life out there he went out to find and her and I can only imagine how stoked he was. Cause he likely knew that Kumar would’ve resented him and looking at how she turned out he was the first one to understand and accept that the bridges between them were already burnt.
At the same time I can’t imagine how Kumar must’ve felt learning that the prodigal child her family tossed her aside for left them. I couldn’t begin to explain the kind or visceral bite that news must’ve had. She could’ve had everything with them and in a way she must’ve built up her arcanum, at least at first, so they might accept her one day. I would’ve grown to hate everything too.
[ID: The first image is a digital drawing of Y/N from the waist-up holding Sea Butterfly!Sun in their hand. They are wearing a dark blue and white wet suit and are facing slightly right. They have their right hand up over their chest with their fingers curled into a loose fist, while their left hand holds Sun up towards their face. They have an amused expression in their face as they tilt their head towards him. Sun is leaned forward eagerly towards Y/N’s ear and has his hand over his mouth like he’s whispering a request. The background is a light gray.
The second image is a continuation of the first and depicts is a close-up drawing of Sea Butterfly!Sun getting kissed on the cheek by Y/N. The image is cropped so Y/N’s mouth is just in frame. Sun sits in their hand and eagerly leans left into the kiss. His head is tilted upwards and he’s got closed eyes and a happy grin on his face. Tiny red hearts surround Sun and the background is a light gray. END ID.]
Recently, I've been treating myself to a "Solomon inspired" drink based on this tiktok. I wasn't sure if I could recreate it at home, but I've finally gotten around to it and found it's...very simple! I've simplified the recipe a little, because I'm not a barista lol, and I thought I'd share it here for anyone who'd like to try it!
Similarly to the post, I do half iced coffee (pre-made vanilla favored) and half homemade sweet black tea, though that can vary if you're not as much of a sweet tooth like I am. And then I just add a little hazelnut creamer...I don't have a measurement for that, I just eyeball it. And that's it!
I've had the original recipe made professionally a few years ago, and my simplified version tastes exactly like it, even without all the other added things. So, I thought I'd share and maybe make someone else's day with a yummy, totally doable, drink. 😊
Cheers to our silly sorcerer and all of you lovely people! 💜
