Art for this fic: The Human Flaw of Love It's a Battlestar Galactica AU. Technically. Really it's just an excuse to write Ivantill nonsense.

I watched season 2, blacked out, made this, and subsequently did not study for several tests I had (it's fine it's fine it's fine). Please don't let me color an animatic ever again, it made the process so much more miserable. That being said, hope you enjoy!!! <3 And be wary of HEAVY spoilers for season 2 (and 1, probably) of Arcane.

#I also tried some new things with a new software so it's a little cooler than usual!#I have many logic/plot questions about the new season but overall the emotions and visuals (especially with these two) were immaculate #arcane s2 #arcane spoilers #arcane season 2 spoilers #arcane animatic #animatic #jayce talis #jayce arcane #viktor arcane #arcane fanart #arcane league of legends #jayvik #jayce x viktor #it can be platonic if you want though #I just am obsessed with future Viktor regretting his choices and missing Jayce and walking around the world he's created #there's a reason on “fields of dreamless solitude” the camera panned to show Jayce's calcified body #Youtube

hey i might be a fucking idiot but where did they get all those blue crystals from?

#i just rewatched s1 and then also the new season #and i might have missed a piece of dialogue #but what are they and how did they mine/create/forge so much? like because jayce didn't know what they were until he was given one #but then to make the hexgates they obviously need a massive amount and then also all the hextech stuff #where's the source? are they mined? if so then why aren't they more commonly used by other countries?#the answers likely lie in the game (which i have not played and probably will not play)#but i think i missed an important dialogue bit in the show #i'm not great at the technobabble to be fair #arcane #arcane s2 #arcane s1

Should I mention animatics on my college applications?

Sorry for the random post, but I need some hyper-specific advice about applying to college! For context: I'm American, applying to undergraduate programs in the USA. I know I'm very academically strong (35 on the ACT, 4.0+ GPA, NHS, etc. etc.), and I have a decent amount of extracurriculars. Honestly, however, a lot of my free time in high school has been spent doing art and animatics. I've been advised many times that putting my art on a social media page and linking it on my application could help show colleges what I spend my time doing and show that I'm well-rounded. My only problem is that most of my art is fanart. I'm probably going to compile the best stuff into a portfolio and link that in my app, but I'm not sure whether or not to link my Youtube channel.

I have about 1.6k subscribers, which isn't anything in the grand scheme of Youtube, but it is significant enough to show the effort I put in/the impact of the videos.

However.

The problem is that my animatics are ENTIRELY fan content. They're horrifically embarrassing to the point that literally no one in my life knows the channel exists except for a few close friends. Worse, many of them are MXTX-related (which is a well-known queer series), and some of them are explicitly ship-related. I'm well aware that fandom stuff is considered weird by the majority of society, and all of it is a far cry from the professional image I'm trying to show on my applications.

That being said, I feel like I need to show colleges evidence of my art, and what I spend my time doing. I need advice! Should I just link a portfolio of the best, most "normal" art I have? Should I also link my Youtube channel? If I do link my Youtube channel, I would definitely polish my pfp, description, and banner... but should I go back and private the old, really awful animatics? Should I private every video related to ships? How roughly should I comb through it?

I'm well aware that my art is objectively bad, so I'd appreciate if you don't bring that up; I'm not applying to art school or an art degree, I'm just trying to show that aspect of my life. I just really want advice on whether or not I should link the channel, how to do that if so, etc. etc.

Sorry if this is a really stupid question!! It's actually wildly embarrassing to post something like this, but it's such a specific situation that I feel only tumblr would have the answer. I know this probably won't reach many people, but even if just one person has good advice, I'd really really appreciate it. Thank you! <3

#such a weird and specific situation #but i literally can't ask anyone else!#i'm assuming the answer to this is “omg no you fucking idiot don't do that”#but if there's a slight chance it could help my app then i want to know haha #i don't know what to tag this!!#college help #college applications #i need advice #tagging the fandoms the animatics are about as well #bbc merlin #mxtx #svsss #mdzs #gosh why can't i have a normal hobby like track and field

For your art prompt thing I saw LOTR as one of the fandoms... so maybe Faramir (or Faramir and Boromir both)? Either book or movie design is chill, and if you don't feel very inspired to do it, no worries! :)

took me a while but I got there! I have to say, Boromir and Faramir is my favorite sibling relationship in LotR, outranking even Eomer and Eowyn. All this from that tiny blurb in the Appendix that is merely a tiny hint of the love and devotion they shared and that remained strong even against their father’s favoritism.
