[dieheidirun]

1. oddly specific thing that brings me joy:

Small details - doesn’t matter the format or medium. It probably isn’t a secret anymore that I am a whore for good craftsmanship. I love carpentry, I adore jewelry and my heart belongs to interiordesign and how people decorate the places they inhabit. And whenever somebody adds something special to an object that could easily function without it? My heart skips a beat. One may think I exaggerate a bit here, but in a world where companies seem to be only focusing on optimizing things, making productions more efficient and using as cheap a material as possible - it feels like a warm hug in said cold-hearted world. Finger-joints in a wooden-corner? Relief on a wall? Intricate sewing-pattern? YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!

2. phone wallpaper:

Lake and mountain near my home. Picture taken by my mum.

Picture I took in an art-gallery some years ago that I am still proud of.

3. are you a morning or night person?: Born to be a night-owl. Forced to be an early bird.

4. favorite scent: Freshly baked brown bread (preferably made by my neighbor or aunt)

5. origin of your username: Let’s go back in time, back to the days where I was a YouTube-kiddy, eagerly awaiting the uploads of my favorite YouTubers. And one of those happened to have a last-name/username that was quite similar to my firstname. Do any of you german-speakers remembers „derHeider“ (the Heider)? And since people refer to me both by my full name „Heidrun“ and my nickname „Heidi“ I wanted to get both of those names in. And this is how „dieHeidirun“ was born. Thank you for your attention.

(The username stayed unproblematic until I first came into contact with non-german-speaking users because it could also be read as „Die! Heidi, Run!“ or „Die, hide and run“ but that makes me sound either depressed or cowardly … so no.

6. song on repeat: Not a song - a whole album… Breach by TØP

7. i will always order this food: Tom Kha Kai and sushi. Noodles of any kind are also always welcome.

8. current favorite show/movie/book?: All-time favorites are still Vinland Saga and Fullmetall Alchemist:Brotherhood - both anime and manga. Currently also enjoying Maul? But I haven’t finished it so my opinion may still change. Also reading the old Thrawn trilogy right now and get to enjoy it more and more.

9. last thing you hyperfixated on: Thrawn Ascendancy (I never intended to care for blue people again after watching the smurfs as a kid, yet here we are)

10. what's your job/occupation, if applicable?: Former interior designer. Now doing a masters degree in wood-technology.

Those were very fun to think about - thank you for adding me @random-user753 🫶

(Sorry for how late this is, but university was and still continues to kick my ass😅)

I think some of you Krennic whores and Mendhoes might enjoy this bookmark I made

He is quite impractical but I love him regardless 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[zuranis-artblog]

Print your own Krennic bookmark!

A few people asked for a PDF version so here you go!

@nymphl @mcabby28

I added a thicker outline so that he's easier to cut out along with a pic showing how I put him together.

Mine was painted on watercolour paper, so I recommend printing yours on the thickest paper your printer can handle, or glueing him to some before cutting him out.

Download here! let me know if it works ;-;

Happy reading :)

Definetly plan to make more, maybe with different characters, and digitally this time. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

[dieheidirun]

@thrawns-backrest I have the feeling that you would steal a child’s sweets for getting one of those

[random-user753]

@dieheidirun somehow, tagging @thrawns-backrest was also my first reaction...

Do you think there's a way to edit this to look like Ronan? 😁

[dieheidirun]

@random-user753 I like how you are thinking. Maybe I should contact OP and ask, if I can take her idea and copy it with a new face? (I say this as if the ability to draw people manifested in me overnight - but I can at least try)

But I also have the feeling that, once our dear Ronan-enthusiast sees this post, she will take matters into her own hand XD

[thrawns-backrest]

Hello again! This may be a bit random, I know, but I just wanted to check in to tell you that you should be more careful with what you write me. Because this little „Heidi’s General-Proof furniture“ joke has grown and manifested in a complete drawing + new HC for me on what Chiss architecture on Csilla could look like.

With your idea of the Chiss making the EDF-offices look like as if they would put them right on the planets surface and my addition that they would „bend nature“ and the elements when designing their buildings I thought that they maybe not only used the solid rocks in their vast caves but also the ice itself as an architectural-asset. Combine those ideas with other cultures i connect the Chiss with and you have whatever this is:

This is just a sketch but I call this particular building the „frozen-waterfall-building“ because it is supposed to look like - alright, I think you get it. Along with using the ice in its „natural form“ (as if it where a real waterfall) they could also use it as bricks like you would when building an igloo. They are so called „glass bricks“ that were highly popular in the 70s and are experiencing some kind of renaissance in the last years. It is those „glass bricks“ (that to me look like huge ice-cubes) that would make a funky building material for a species that inhabits an ice-planet. As for the other architecture-item: for me the Chiss give off a bit of a Japanese/Italien/iranien vibe (please don’t ask me how that combination manifested). So I have intentionally as well as unintentionally copied certain elements of their architecture.

You have the door (that I drew based on vibes only and only realized after finishing that this could be the door to a Moschee or a library) or the mosaic resembling the Chaos the Chiss inhabit. The lamp really exists: I saw that one when I visited Milano a year ago and just had to take a picture of because the design and craftsmanship was truly mesmerizing. As for the simple sign.: You have a human-craftsperson, might as well let her bring a sign from her place of origin.

Thank you for inspiring me so much that I actually went and made this. It was incredible fun to make it and I actually would love to think more about the possibilities of Chiss architecture. Maybe you have some other ideas?

Sending you hugs and all the best for the upcoming school-week! See you!

GOODNESS ME, WHAT A TREAT!! you keep telling me to be careful but the only thing I hear is 'don't be careful and you'll get scrumptious content'. I'll start off by saying THIS IS SO GORGEOUS I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT LOOK AT ALL THE DETAILS AND THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWY LINES CONTRASTING WITH THE RECTANGULAR ICE BLOCKS IMAGINE HOW PRETTILY IT ALL GLITTERS UNDER THE SUN OH MY GOD I WANT TO BE THERE SO BADLY AND THE ICE WATREFALL BUILDING WOULD BE SPECTACULAR IN REAL SCALE I WANT TO EAT THAT IDEA

alright. now that that's out of my system. let's try and be coherent. I am so in love with the idea of the ice bricks and absolutely see what you mean, it's a very proud Chiss thing to do, as if saying 'the environment tried to crush us but we subjugated it and turned it into something beautiful'. it both embraces and takes control of the hand they were dealt and the thought of the different ice slash snow forms they could use as inspiration makes my head spin with possibilities. the frozen waterfall idea is brilliant!! those elongated elegant shapes are so pretty but also kind of sharp and daunting which is exactly what I associate with the Chiss

have you heard of cute aggression? I think I'm having beauty aggression looking at your second drawing because I want to squeeze it and shake it violently for how pretty it is. Japanese/Italien/Iranien?? that sounds so cool oh my god. the lamp and the flooring absolutely floored me (pun intended) and I adore the little representation of the chaos flowing under their feet. that's just mesmerizing. and the door?? hello? illegal. jail. too pretty to be true. everything comes together so wonderfully too, like the different elements are meant to coexist (with the little exotic touch of the sign, we have an alien craftsman after all). I can see myself drifting to that place every day, at first to wonder at the crashing noises coming from inside but eventually just to admire the pretty place

I once again can't help but think how beautiful all of this would look in the sun (artificial sun?), with all the mosaics and ice and glass textures all glittering along with the natural snow and ice themselves. it's also fascinating to imagine the technology behind it, if they are using actual natural materials for some of this, maybe we're looking at chemicals mixed in with the ice or spread over it to prevent it from melting?

and finally, I'm a bit giddy because we somehow arrived at similar visions, at least I flatter myself by thinking so, because my architectural headcanons for the chiss, though they're somewhat sparse, have always involved tons of colored glass and glossy icy surfaces (with a generous amount of gold metalwork) and I feel like our visions match there. I also had a little headcanon that the Chiss incorporate a great variety of shapes into their art to create the image of seemingly disparate parts working together (an allusion to the ruling families being in harmony, which, obviously not the case but something they'd love to project). and I feel like that's embodied perfectly in the intricacy and variety of the shapes you've used

again, correct me if I'm wrong but this is one of the images I've always used as inspiration and I feel like it has a similar vibe to your ideas?

uuuh yeah, I may be completely confusing styles here, please bear with my ignorance. as for art, the only more 'architectural' piece I've drawn was this very rough sketch of a Mitth throne (as part of a circular room with similar seats for all the nine family heads where I imagine they each get a dais and a pretty stained glass backdrop with an abstract illustration of their crest behind them). the texture is a stand in for stained glass windows and the 'rays' are golden metalwork

anyway, your drawings reminded me of that little piece and again, I flatter myself by thinking it's compatible with your far more informed and superior vision. at the very least I can see them existing side by side

to wrap this up before I ramble further, thank you so much for blessing our eyes with your drawings, I'm super proud and smug that I was able to inspire you to do them and am myself feeling incredibly inspired with my head swimming with images of pretty cathedral slash mosque like images of Chiss architecture. you made me want to get up and join my best friend in her weekly winter hikes, your images remind me of the pictures she's shown me of frozen trees and pretty ice scapes. I'm especially obsessed with the ice bricks and intricate mosaics

all in all just gorgeous. no idea how I'll teach my classes today what with my mind being elsewhere but I'm not complaining

[dieheidirun]

Good day lieutenant Vanto !

First of all, I would like to remind you that no: “don’t be careful and you´ll get scrumptious content” is not working on me (it actually is). Secondly, I am totally not smiling like the cheshire cat and kicking my feet at seeing your response. Thank you for your kind words and your own headcanons (that funnily enough collide with mine. Well done, Timothy, I guess?)

Thirdly, I would like to remind you, that sending me drafts of yours is also no way of baiting me into picking up a pen (unfortunately, it also is *sighs*) – so this happened.

I regret to inform you, that I couldn’t finish it in time before I go and spent a week with my family where I will have no time to work on it, so I thought I may put it out there before I forget about it and it starts moulding somewhere in my folder. I tried to keep as many details as possible from your work and let my pencil run free for the rest of it. This also led to me, realizing halfway through the drawing, that it had detached from my original vision and ended up being much more art-deco than Chiss-inspired. I didn’t intent for the windows to be complete squares but to have a shape much more related to that of a gothic-church-window. I also wanted to work much more sun- and ascendancy inspired symbols into it or the few canon-family-crests that we know of. But I still hope that I caught your idea of “incorporating a great variety of shapes into their art to create the image of seemingly disparate parts working together”.

Again, I didn’t get to add more details to show the smaller glass-parts that form each individual shape or draw any shadows, but I still hope that it manages to pull your thoughts away from the stress you experience right now – even if just for a second.

Sending you strength and all the best before I go back to building an ice-brick-wall for the two of us to hide behind when the stuff and its hellhounds come looking for us.

Hello again! This may be a bit random, I know, but I just wanted to check in to tell you that you should be more careful with what you write me. Because this little „Heidi’s General-Proof furniture“ joke has grown and manifested in a complete drawing + new HC for me on what Chiss architecture on Csilla could look like.

With your idea of the Chiss making the EDF-offices look like as if they would put them right on the planets surface and my addition that they would „bend nature“ and the elements when designing their buildings I thought that they maybe not only used the solid rocks in their vast caves but also the ice itself as an architectural-asset. Combine those ideas with other cultures i connect the Chiss with and you have whatever this is:

This is just a sketch but I call this particular building the „frozen-waterfall-building“ because it is supposed to look like - alright, I think you get it. Along with using the ice in its „natural form“ (as if it where a real waterfall) they could also use it as bricks like you would when building an igloo. They are so called „glass bricks“ that were highly popular in the 70s and are experiencing some kind of renaissance in the last years. It is those „glass bricks“ (that to me look like huge ice-cubes) that would make a funky building material for a species that inhabits an ice-planet. As for the other architecture-item: for me the Chiss give off a bit of a Japanese/Italien/iranien vibe (please don’t ask me how that combination manifested). So I have intentionally as well as unintentionally copied certain elements of their architecture.

You have the door (that I drew based on vibes only and only realized after finishing that this could be the door to a Moschee or a library) or the mosaic resembling the Chaos the Chiss inhabit. The lamp really exists: I saw that one when I visited Milano a year ago and just had to take a picture of because the design and craftsmanship was truly mesmerizing. As for the simple sign.: You have a human-craftsperson, might as well let her bring a sign from her place of origin.

Thank you for inspiring me so much that I actually went and made this. It was incredible fun to make it and I actually would love to think more about the possibilities of Chiss architecture. Maybe you have some other ideas?

Sending you hugs and all the best for the upcoming school-week! See you!

GOODNESS ME, WHAT A TREAT!! you keep telling me to be careful but the only thing I hear is 'don't be careful and you'll get scrumptious content'. I'll start off by saying THIS IS SO GORGEOUS I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT LOOK AT ALL THE DETAILS AND THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWY LINES CONTRASTING WITH THE RECTANGULAR ICE BLOCKS IMAGINE HOW PRETTILY IT ALL GLITTERS UNDER THE SUN OH MY GOD I WANT TO BE THERE SO BADLY AND THE ICE WATREFALL BUILDING WOULD BE SPECTACULAR IN REAL SCALE I WANT TO EAT THAT IDEA

alright. now that that's out of my system. let's try and be coherent. I am so in love with the idea of the ice bricks and absolutely see what you mean, it's a very proud Chiss thing to do, as if saying 'the environment tried to crush us but we subjugated it and turned it into something beautiful'. it both embraces and takes control of the hand they were dealt and the thought of the different ice slash snow forms they could use as inspiration makes my head spin with possibilities. the frozen waterfall idea is brilliant!! those elongated elegant shapes are so pretty but also kind of sharp and daunting which is exactly what I associate with the Chiss

have you heard of cute aggression? I think I'm having beauty aggression looking at your second drawing because I want to squeeze it and shake it violently for how pretty it is. Japanese/Italien/Iranien?? that sounds so cool oh my god. the lamp and the flooring absolutely floored me (pun intended) and I adore the little representation of the chaos flowing under their feet. that's just mesmerizing. and the door?? hello? illegal. jail. too pretty to be true. everything comes together so wonderfully too, like the different elements are meant to coexist (with the little exotic touch of the sign, we have an alien craftsman after all). I can see myself drifting to that place every day, at first to wonder at the crashing noises coming from inside but eventually just to admire the pretty place

I once again can't help but think how beautiful all of this would look in the sun (artificial sun?), with all the mosaics and ice and glass textures all glittering along with the natural snow and ice themselves. it's also fascinating to imagine the technology behind it, if they are using actual natural materials for some of this, maybe we're looking at chemicals mixed in with the ice or spread over it to prevent it from melting?

and finally, I'm a bit giddy because we somehow arrived at similar visions, at least I flatter myself by thinking so, because my architectural headcanons for the chiss, though they're somewhat sparse, have always involved tons of colored glass and glossy icy surfaces (with a generous amount of gold metalwork) and I feel like our visions match there. I also had a little headcanon that the Chiss incorporate a great variety of shapes into their art to create the image of seemingly disparate parts working together (an allusion to the ruling families being in harmony, which, obviously not the case but something they'd love to project). and I feel like that's embodied perfectly in the intricacy and variety of the shapes you've used

again, correct me if I'm wrong but this is one of the images I've always used as inspiration and I feel like it has a similar vibe to your ideas?

uuuh yeah, I may be completely confusing styles here, please bear with my ignorance. as for art, the only more 'architectural' piece I've drawn was this very rough sketch of a Mitth throne (as part of a circular room with similar seats for all the nine family heads where I imagine they each get a dais and a pretty stained glass backdrop with an abstract illustration of their crest behind them). the texture is a stand in for stained glass windows and the 'rays' are golden metalwork

anyway, your drawings reminded me of that little piece and again, I flatter myself by thinking it's compatible with your far more informed and superior vision. at the very least I can see them existing side by side

to wrap this up before I ramble further, thank you so much for blessing our eyes with your drawings, I'm super proud and smug that I was able to inspire you to do them and am myself feeling incredibly inspired with my head swimming with images of pretty cathedral slash mosque like images of Chiss architecture. you made me want to get up and join my best friend in her weekly winter hikes, your images remind me of the pictures she's shown me of frozen trees and pretty ice scapes. I'm especially obsessed with the ice bricks and intricate mosaics

all in all just gorgeous. no idea how I'll teach my classes today what with my mind being elsewhere but I'm not complaining

You need to check out Art Nouveau design, specifically Antony Gaudi. I've visited some of his buildings in Barcelona and the designs are heavily based on the natural forms of rocks, ice and underwater things like kelp forests and coral reefs. What is canon is that the Chiss are big on terraforming and genetic manipulation so they would probably grow some of their furniture and architecture.

[dieheidirun]

I can totally see your vision for associating the Chiss with Art Nouveau because my first impulse was the same. What made me reconsider though is the fact that yes- while this style plays a lot with natural motives and elements (especially Gaudis) the style is very playful, almost loving with their usage of flowers and other "softer" motives and has a romantic flair. Seeing how the Chiss are 1) based on an ice-planet, harsh landscapes, coldness and in general rougher climate and are also 2) a race of warriors, whom I believe is why they are so strict individuals, I wouldnt say that the playful and romantic motives and designs, that Art Nouveau is so well known for, would appeal to them.

This is why I like to propose to you a similar style that gets often confused for Art Nouveau: Art Deco! Its motives are much more symmetrical, more hard-edged and the designs lean more towards machinery than nature. This way it captures more the character of weaponry, technology and the sharp-edged icicles on Csilla.

But they could also have a combined version of the two design-styles: using the natural forms and bending it toward something more industrial and controlled, rather than have the forces of nature overrule them.

Twenty years ago, even ten, I would have said the destruction of the Chiss Ascendancy would be a straightforward exercise. No longer. A new generation of military leaders has arisen, warriors who cannot be trusted to walk recklessly down the well-worn paths of manipulation set before them. Supreme General Ba’kif, Admiral Ar’alani, a few others—they think and plan outside the normal patterns. Unpredictable.

It’s 100% this! And the fact that it is followed by the immediate revelation that yes - he is responsible for all of this (waves hands frantically in their direction) but also admits that he would definitely do it again.

Lamiov: Do you regret it, Labaki?

Ba’kif, as smug as they come: No, and I would do it again.

ok let’s review what we learned today:

- do not trust reddit for or with any given information at any given time. ever

- always factcheck for yourself before spreading potential misinformation

- there is no hope. the abyss is infinite. all i see is void. we will never know the light

- in emergency situations our squads can mobilize within an hour. drill scenarios are important to test the strength and effectiveness of our collective response

- if given a decent reason we will spontaneously create a holiday out of anything

- it’s fun to be on tumblr when a couple hundred people are freaking out over something that doesn’t actually impact the real world in a serious way

- we are prepared to handle an ongoing alectopause and our current resources and equipment ensure our survival for at least the next 23 years

- if we manifest it hard enough anything could be true

- stay strong for alecto release 2027

Me, completing a drawing? Forgot that could happen. Anyways the thought of little Hera working on Chopper during the war makes my heart feel things, so have this :)

Sure - it´s not like I needed my heart or anything. Thanks for tearing it to shreds, I really needed that. I´m so grateful for your services, I appreciate it, couldn´t be more happy to have it ... (breaks down crying)
