FINALLY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRAW!! This is the design I mentioned on my last post I think, and is greatly inspired in egg-on-a-legg ‘s AM design for the hate speech animatic on youtube, + the Firebird from Disney’s film Fantasia 2000. Erm the phrase has to do with my AU’s lore, and I’m kinda wanting to make something about it, maybe a short comic or something? I’m not entirely sure :p
Miserable goop man (he does like that body however.)
i lvoe yappin. i am a yapper. like. especially when it comes to fran and iz and bartylus i just cant shut up. it’s awesome.
y’all know that one bojack horseman scene where he tries to get wandas attention via auto-erotic asphyxiation and he accidentally for real starts choking. that’s fran doing that so iz will notice him. like it just. is.
and bartylus ugh. don’t get me started on bartylus. they are the only to ever. they’re two highlighters that sit on my desk that i make kiss.
fr could yap forever and it’s a blessing i only have the one mouth.
For the fav characters asks game: 2, 10, 13, 15, 49 for Laurence?
2. Did you always like this character?
absolutely not! I didn’t even much care for him when I first got into bloodborne a few years ago honestly. I’m not really sure how I developed a special liking for him either? but the choir is my favourite bit in all of bloodborne and victorian medicine is one of my special interests so I latched onto him over time sort of by association or whatever because of that + I love tragedy. and he is such a tragic beast is he not. also his theme goes so fucking hard lyrics and instrumental composition go insane it gives me chills
10. Do you see yourself in this character even without projecting?
Blood obsessed yeah. But honestly I’ve been handling him almost like an oc as of recent and cant really remember what ‘canon’ parts of him I relate to right now. I’m sure there has to be something because that’s usually what gets you to bond with a character yk….. I associate laurence at first with solemnity(to a pretentious extent) and being glib but convincing enough to secure his position and the trust of others, and later with shame and regret and guilt, but also I have a lot of different interpretations I accept of him coexisting in my mind? if that makes sense?(at the core it’s mainly the things I mentioned before tho) I guess another major thing I find myself relating to is the desire to learn and the fact that I would go to any lengths for the sake of acquiring certain knowledge- something bloodborne taught me is bad but if I’m relating to laurence then that won’t stop me as history has shown. maybe when I turn into a shameful beast that is the very image of humiliation I will begin to understand
13. If you could draw effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what scene (s) would you draw for this character?
I’m already drawing this guy every other day I wish I wasnt. I hate him he should not be taking up so much of my time and thoughts. I have a lot of concepts regarding him I want to execute in mind these days but I have absolutely no idea how to go about them….. hopefully this strange creative block I’m in rn will leave me alone soon
15. Are your thoughts surrounding this character usually sexual, non-sexual, or a mix of both?
always nonsexual he’s too much of a loser (what’s funny is that I couldn’t answer the ‘do you relate to this character’ question but anytime I’m asked if I’m sexually attracted to him I always think “he reminds me too much of myself” subconsciously which is super funny. what do I mean by this)
49. What’s your favorite personality trait in this character?
fucking around and finding out goes crazy with this one. and malice(intentional or yet to be awakened) is a beautiful thing when you happen to be an influential scholar who then becomes a huge authority figure. nothing could go wrong here
i really like river otters, i think theyre really silly and stuff!! i also like polar bears too because theyre literally me. i also like alligators because theyre absolute like giants and theyre so cool and i dont know if like every dinosaur would count as an animal right now so!!
i also think sharks are really cool, also horses.. and eagles. really like i said all animals are my favorite?? theyre all super cool and stuff imo😭😭
oh but big cats are >>>!!! i love tigers and lions and if we're including extinct big cats, saber tooth tigers are really intriguing to me!!
So I found some subs that have helped me change my beliefs about my imagination and the 3D a lot and come to terms with my many contradictions. Before I listened to them, I thought I was affirming to get my desires in the 3D. So after i had done doing my 1 or 2 hour long "I have my desires" affirmations, not a single day would pass when i would think to myself, "i can't wait for my desires to manifest." I also had the habit of imagining my desires to immediately check if the 3D had changed, so that would always leave me expecting something to happen. And i didn't truly recognise my imagination to be my real reality, like yes I got that "whatever I believe to be true in imagination will manifest physically", but I treated this as just think of something and expect it to appear in the 3D.
After listening to these subs and reading a bunch of blogs explaining manifesting in the 4D and stuff, I finally got it. The point of manifesting is changing myself in reality (imagination), believing I am my new self in reality (imagination), and continuing to live as my new self in reality (imagination) (in other words, persist). After this, there is nothing to expect. There is nothing to wait for because I already have my desires in my reality (imagination).
So why was I "expecting change" when I've already changed in imagination? Well, someone once said that "you must be fine with having the results in imagination. If you are not and you keep expecting something to happen to the physical reality, then you are not actually fulfilled." In my case, if I am affirming to get instead of affirming to remind, then I was not really fulfilled. And if I imagined just to see it in the 3D, then that meant I truly never recognised my imagination as my real reality.
I always understood the phrase "Walk by faith, not by sight." But I never really put it into practice and it showed. But it's okay, because I finally get it now.

Anyway, here are the 4D / Imagination subs I was talking about
I'm definitely gonna make a follow up post to this cus I kinda cooked with that
(because I don't have enough AUs already...) Let me introduce you to something thats been rolling around in my brain for a little while now...
The Elemental AU!
Heavily inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender, the elemental AU takes place in a universe where some people are born with the ability to control a specific element. The main difference is instead of the 4 western elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air- it's the 5 Chinese elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, and Metal. (Just bc it fit the crew better! and gives me some more room to world-build)
The basic plot remains close to Wild Kratts canon. They travel the world, saving animals from the villains (Who are also elementals!) except instead of relying on technology, or their creature powers, they use their elemental gifts.
I am planning on writing about this soon since Decoded is coming to an end in only a few weeks. But I figured I would go ahead and introduce it now since I've finished all of their refs!
thinking about little baby regulus black makes my stomach hurt he had big ol bug eyes and crazy curls and freckles and he was always so small and he cried over anything and he hated loud noises and he was in such awe of the world … so naturally curious …….. man walburga and orion just have to die
This moment will always be IT for me. This scene was probably more significant for me than the table scene, and that says a lot because that scene was extremely significant! I remember when i first saw this scene and was genuinely so taken back by the editing, the song, the expressions. And the fact that it's STILL on my mind almost a year later and i end up finding something new about it every time??
Then people want to pretend that this moment was strictly platonic and that Syd only equaled the restaurant... I knew in this moment that they were showing us Carmy realized how much he loved Syd and that she meant so much more to him. She's his peace. She was not a product of his trauma through his childhood and family. He was uncertain about Claire, but certain about Syd. I don't care. I am not budging.
I even tried to one time just so i could stop talking about sydcarmy to my friend who wants them to only be platonic. But oh well! The editors and Mr. Storer shouldn't have shown me this scene!
Ive worked on this for almost 22 hours and connor and hank are practically imprinted in my eyelids
i was kinda going for more subtle expressions with this one, trying to give hank a disappointed look to show his understanding and attitude of the sad world vs connor being slightly confused as he begins to navigate it with a new sense of morality and mortality
(close up of connor before rim lighting since his face took for ever and im kinda proud of the rendering ->)
