I just skimmed through the art part of your blog and holy bajeebus your LMK art is so beautiful and the headcanon ideas you come up with are so good I wanna steal em-
Kinda wanna see like a part 2 of the little angst you did between MK and Macaque a while ago. It's so interesting and I wanna see Macaque's reaction in your art style. (You don't have to of course, it's just a suggestion [idk if i spelled that right])
Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day/night!
Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.
It’s time to give everyone the image that convinced me Natalie was antler queen before season 2 even began. @laszlo-writes and I jokingly said one night during a theorizing session “wouldn’t it be so fun if Natalie was antler queen??” And we ran with it. In 30 minutes we collected most of the proof we needed and actually convinced ourselves we were correct. And we rewatched season one specifically looking for proof before season two dropped. All of season two was watched with AQ!Nat as our viewing lens, and it paid off.
But this image was the most crucial to me. There were tons of things we pulled from. But this. This was It for me.
Everyone gathered around the fire. Natalie facing the camera, Lottie facing Natalie with her back to the camera, and everyone else facing Natalie and 1/2 to the camera. Lottie positioned as a worshipper - the first - and Natalie center stage, with those who would be her followers around her.
With tree branches shaped like antlers behind her. Not real antlers. The wilderness’s own likeness of antlers. An arguably more powerful image than any of the times real antlers were framing someone’s head.
And this was all I needed. Everything else was icing on the cake, but this was the only piece of evidence I needed to believe it was her all along. The one with the most guilt, because she was the only one that was immune while everyone else risked death.
Michael on the Late Late Show a few years ago talking about how he was almost in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and I cannot overstate how much I wish this had actually happened...
(Bonus: Completely unintentional reference to the beginning of episode 3 of The Way at the end by James Corden, along with Michael's reaction. The noise I made...)
Tada!!! I updated Rose's design a bit!!! (She's one of my Sonamy fankids for those unaware.) The art in her old pic was like over a year old, so I figured since Elise got a small redesign recently, I might as well do Rose too! (I'll slowly do the rest of the Hedgehog Family and the Robotnik Family too, I promise.) I mostly only changed Rose's quills since I felt they most desperately needed an update. I kept her suit and boots the same since I love them so much. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I want to design Rose a casual outfit at some point. We'll see if I actually get around to that.
For those unfamiliar with Rose, I'll go over her personality and such under the cut!
Rose Hedgehog is the middle child in Sonic and Amy's family. Her older siblings are the twins Joy and Lux, and her younger siblings are Elise and Chip.
Rose is 12 years old. She's very spunky, ambitious, and tends to get into trouble quite a bit by accident. Her dream goal is to become a hero by the time she turns 15. So she's only got 3 years to go! Better hurry up!
Rose can summon a weapon much like Amy can summon her Piko Piko Hammer. Rose's weapon is a staff! She can increase it's length, but not excessively. It maxes out at like a few feet.
Rose has a bit of a passion for design! She designed her suit and boots all by herself and then took the designs to Uncle Tails, who made them a reality for her. She has quite a few notebooks filled with sketches of clothes. Some people have suggested she become a designer when she grows up, but Rose has dismissed those ideas every time. This is just a hobby! She wants to become a hero like her parents!
Gotta love how so much of this scene feels like a nod to the upcoming third season…
Lord Ledger is in Bridgerton blue.
The flowers and plants are mostly yellow and orange but there are also pops of pink and purple and there are a lot of greens, and Violet is wearing green.
Penelope made a joke about Colin having hoop rolling talent he’s yet to share with the world.
Surely you have noticed that since his reign began, the isles are different. Storms come in faster. Colors are a bit more vivid, smells are sharper. But all that was done without trying. I am certain he didn’t notice the land altering itself to better suit him. Look at them all, your subjects, he’d said to me at a revel months ago. A shame not a one knows who their true ruler is. (The Wicked King, Pg. 291)
okay i’m on my regular twk reread (therapy) & i can’t be the only one who thinks the closeness of these two recollective quotes is… interesting.
She was the night wolf. But only when she dreamed. (The Blind Girl, ADWD)
"The hour of the wolf. The blackest part of night, when all the world's asleep." (The Kingbreaker, ADWD)
Thinking thoughts...It's the longest, darkest hour of the night, Arya is the Night Wolf + Dark Heart, it's the time when "the world's asleep" and Arya wargs into Nymeria and the leader of a giant pack of wolves while sleeping, and it's likely she'll reunite with Nymeria right before the long night...
