I'm having another one of those moments where I'm looking at my art gallery and thinking fuck what even is my style... who am I... e_e;

[aerithcloud]

The parallels...

[squeakitties]

how it feels to challenge yourself to an exceptionally difficult drawing and it turns out fucking awesome

if you delete one of your miis, the other miis who were their friends should mourn them. there should be a chance for one of them to make it their life's mission to make you pay for what you did

I do think people who say "travel companion Zenos" isn't interesting/realistic are missing that 1.) Zenos would quite literally do anything for the WOLs attention, including sitting still occasionally. And 2.) The comedy of the rest of Etheirys reacting to, and having to deal with the WOL choosing to keep Zenos around is a type of awkward comedy that frankly writes itself. Could you imagine the Scions reacting to the WOL going everywhere with Zenos in toe and having to address the fact that he's in the room? Could you imagine Zenos’s flat commentary in the background to all the silly/ crazy things that happen throughout the course of an expansion? Could you imagine watching all the WOL's friends having to both see and admit to themselves that Zenos attempting to be "good" (i.e. aiding the WOL when they ask) is a thousand times more terrifyingly uncomfortable for them than Zenos being a god-like enemy because it forces them to think over concepts of morality and character growth that are beyond the black and white of "good people are always good and right and bad people are always bad and wrong"?

Also I live for more examples of WOL/ Azem's silly toxic trait being befriending everything on the star (and beyond) with a pulse regardless of the implications of befriending said person, or their past transgressions. Azem basically excitedly bullied, pestered, and dragged Hades around so much that they eventually became close friends. And because Azem was always showing up to help people, and Hades would be there with them, people soon respected Hades enough to care about him, and in turn Hades cared about the people around him (in his own distant way). It would be so poetic and perfect if the same thing happened with Zenos and the WOL, please I need this so much.

I am a fool........ (shipping names)

What happens when I wanna ship Ellone x Rinoa?? ElloneHeart?? Versus the already established ElloneHart?????

I didn't realize it before because "squell" stood in the way, but I should just bite the bullet and go change it to "squelle" >_> (bleh).

Simple fix. This way, I can set it up to be "rinelle" and "seifelle"... see the official briGriv chart for details:

(that's a lotta squelching noises...) 🥴

I've been foiled by lotsa irl stuff lately... this whole year, really 😅... but I'm crawling back to doing things!!

(this is a long post so I'm croppin' it here)

1. FFX Zine -- a little sneaky peek at what's cookin' 👀 (not at all devastated that no one has mentioned the mirrored FF8 logo pose yet)... 😭 I've had the privilege to participate in quite a few zines now, they're always fun. ^^

2. FF8 Comic -- oof... I'm still struggling with chapter 0... this strict cleanly art style is really burning me out, but I am sooo looking forward to switching it up for the rest of the comic!

3. Brissidia -- just a fun little thing! Here's all my Tomodachis so far. ^^ (they are literally all FF hahaha)

4. I'm a WIP hoarder... from writing, to numerous sculpting plans, to figuring out if I wanna be the one to host some online events... my energy is really spread thin. 😅

this is a reminder to my moots that tomodachi life: living the dream is a game for the NINTENDO SWITCH OG, and does not need a nintendo switch 2 to play
