trying sooo hard not to post spoilers from the rammstein rehearsal...but girlies, the setlist based off what i'm seeing online is incredible... definitely worth all the money i spent on those tickets
soooooo I ordered a comfort character care package from Etsy as a Christmas gift for myself and chose the character as Dabi
and the tracker says it's supposed to be here today
hoping to do an unboxing for y'all!! (or a 'fake' unboxing later bc Mom is home today and I hate recording when other people are there in person, my anxiety brain is dumb)
either way I think it's really gonna lift my mood and make my whole year!! however I do it, I'll definitely show it off at some point 💖
paloma abrams is a restless, adventurous, and outgoing sim who aspires to be a playground captain 🏴☠️🦸♀️her favorite color is green, she likes pranks, and she dislikes pessimists 💥
I honestly don't get the spawn vs ascended debate when we really should all be coming together to shame those who think it's "unrealistic" that Astarion could fall in love with default dragonborn Durge on account of that Durge "not being attractive."
Like, I'm sorry, but are you fucking high? In what world is Default Durge not peak sex appeal? Big, tall, muscley thicc ass man who can barely run because he's so caked up with a deep, haunted voice struggling to overcome the darkness within himself all while looking like he could bite Cazador's head off in one satisfying crunch? You're telling me Astarion wouldn't be speed running that romance arc to climb him like a tree? Like that wet pathetic cat man looking for protection and attention wouldn't be the president, vice president, and treasurer of the "Top That Nice But Kind of Disturbed Hot Lizard" club?
He's a reallllly tall guy huh? Not comfortable enough to give y'all his whole hand, butttt not mean enough to warrant losing you with his big strides. (And not for any other reason, of course)
I can't help but enjoy adding a little Tsundere-ness when it comes to Moon :)

For those who's seen my other art, yeah, I'm well aware both my art style and coloration just straight up changes every time. I have come to accept the chaos, albeit still stubborn to try to make something stick.
The eyes were a very happy accident though, I was going to make them black and red but man- shading is my best friend, that's all I'm gonna say.
Honestly forgot to put the ruffles in the sketch, thus its not there. I was more than halfway done when I noticed and just accepted this is the design now. I'm not the biggest fan of drawing the ruffles regardless, so I might just make it part of the design I draw regularly. (I should workshop just a general design vs. doodle sheet uoghhh-)
And to those who've seen my rambles- I FIGURED IT OUT. I mean, it's obvious since I'm posting nowww, but I got the photos to transfer after a bunch of trial and error :)
Internet may evade me, BUT IT CAN'T EVADE THESE HANDS!!!
the closer that the album release gets, the more that I look over what we've gotten so far and lean into a feeling that ttpd may be a combo of renegade, clean and happiness lyrically (between the song titles, photoshoot, the poem piece she included with the initial announcement, and the way that she's spoken about writing the album on tour as a lifeline of sorts). I'm so interested to see how she dives into everything from over the past few years, especially with the file evidence-style structure that she's been using for the variants and talking about her "veins of pitch black ink" as her life directly fueling the art resulting in this album - after such a major change in her life I can imagine there's a bit of anger and sadness/grief for what once was, but I also think with songs like "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" she'll discuss some of the more freeing aspects of making it through to the other side
I don't trust the people who say this card is ugly/boring I really don't. People don't get this card like I do.
Unlike Rui, Emu and Meiko who have artificial sources of light in order to create ambiance, Tsukasa can't rely on it, the lights are too far from the center of the stage, he should need to stand on the spotlight. And yet here and now the spotlight won't focus on him, so instead he is gonna take over the stage tru his pure presence. He looks at the audience like he is ready to pounce and devour it whole at any moment. He gives way tru the shadows and dominates the space he has. The confetti ribbons fall around him in celebration, welcoming him completely. Bc when it comes to the stage, to the theater, both the lights and the dark belong to him and make him shine on his own all the brightest. but people don't get it THEY DON'T GET HER LIKE I DO I'M SO SORRY BBG THEY DON'T GET IT SHE LOOKS SO COOL UGH 😩
The name of the outfit is phantasmagoria btw. This is phantasmagoria Tsukasa (or Shadowkasa for short if you will, for the kasaverse). He went from King, to commoner, to jester, to literally just a shadow. my mans disappearing good god.
On a funnier note I really think they went like:
employee: boss, we did a dark choreography with wxs in Love Ka!
boss: splendid! This 3DMV is one of our best ones yet! but do they have outfits for that?
employee: ahhh no we don't :(
boss: mmmmm...Hey Tsukasa mind going thru it for your next focus event?
employee: sir idk if one clown outfit is good enough, we need one for Rui.
My friend is sleeping over, and he has lots of drug connections, and this motherfucker is getting me GHB. YA'LL It's gonna finally happen. I can drug myself :)
