Imagination Is Both A Blessing and A Curse

Hi! The name's Elyse Sium and I'm here to share things with you! You can now also find me on Archive of our Own by the same name.

So... It have been ages... I was completely absorbed by job, rehearsals, lessons and workshops. And I finally had a surgery I had been waiting for years.

BUT FINALLY I DID IT!

So here it is a second small video I tried to make for @xxpeppermintxx109 "GREEN LIES BLACK HEARTS", a story that truly has changed my existence, and if you people give it a chance, it will change yours too, fr.

And I cannot wait to read their "Veil us in gold"!!!

Also dedicated to my partner in crime @allicentsallure , cause some months ago we actually spent days trying to figuring out how to get good quality voices.

I know this video is not at the same point the story is right now but, unfortunately, the voice generator is not free anymore and the last chapter has been so overwhelming that I keep on re reading it in loop.

Ok, I am so upset with myself, like, at the end I wrote heart instead of hearts *facepalm*

[xxpeppermintxx109]

OMG @ellycup-of-tea THIS IS SO COOL IM GONNA SOJSOEBDKENSMSN I can’t thank you enough for how beautiful this is and I hope surgery went well!! Thank you for reading glbh and always supporting me😭😭

[gracielikegrapes]

ART GOALS!! LOOK AT HER!! THE SUNSHINE! MY REASON FOR BREATHING!!

My brain chemistry has been altered again~

[elysesium]

"...Nestled between them is a much shorter form facing the dramatic vista of the ocean, a waterfall of silver curls he’d recognize anywhere spilling down her back. He knows the silky feel of those curls intimately and sometimes thinks he can smell them in that space between waking and sleeping. A large fluffy towel is wrapped around her in the photo, obscuring any indication of her shape, just adding to the mystery. " -Aemond Targaryen, Chapter 1

"There he is, spinning her baby brother around, hair just brushing his jaw. There’s more rings, more tattoos, a sharper jaw. His eyepatch is plain black leather, hiding the scar of his missing eye from her. Part of her wonders if he replaced the sapphire she took from him, or if it’s as empty as she is. Her dream beats on the door of her mind, like she doesn’t have years of memories that created that dream also waiting to escape.

Holding back the flood of emotions at seeing Aemond this close again is not easy at all. It is like being hit with a tidal flood of emotions, good and bad, memories reaching their skeleton hands through the bars she’s built around them. Her heartbeat races against regret and it is losing. She has no chance." -Valaena Velaryon, Chapter 2

Finally got around to reading "heaven known (I'm not getting over you)", @lightningandfireinmybones's Modern AU to "the death of peace of mind". It's great! It's all the pining and obsession and the invasion of space that ya'll find really hot! But with out the war and kingdoms to fight over, just proper functional dysfunctional family dynamics. Or as functional as Targaryens get.

To Bestie:

I know I made you choose between two quotes, but I have other ideas for the other one. Plus, you gotta admit, that quote is giving Valaemond currently. Hopefully, the mood board is giving the correct vibes.

PS: Thank you for engaging with me and my random imagines and questions.

[moodyskeletonart]

Heres a MEGA folder filled with art book pdfs, if anyone has some others that you'd like me to add to it thats missing, please let me know and send me the link

126 files

EDIT 1: If you're a bit new to art and you're super overwhelmed by the options and you don't know where to start, I highly recommend the morpho series of books

Edit 2:No more Google Drive, just the MEGA folder now, so don't panic if the stuff on Google ain't there no more, its still up, just in a different location

[annoying-leftist-donkey]

@elysesium i remembered seeing this post going around a while back (there's another post similar to this somewhere istg). I don't personally draw or paint so i dont know if anything in there is helpful but maybe there's gold in there? ☺️

[elysesium]

OHHHHHHHHH! MASSIVE ART RESOURCES! THANK YOU!

[elysesium]

Aight, at my current drawing level, this my rendition of Shaera Velaryon. I love my sunshine child so much, she doesn't deserve the shit she's been through recently. I'll fight anyone who says mean things about her.

@xxpeppermintxx109, I'm adopting Shaera. You'll be receiving adoption papers soon.

If ya'll got tips or teaching sources I can look at to improve I'd love suggestions. Maybe I'll digitalize this to make it better, but traditional drawing is my current focus.

GREEN LIES BLACK HEARTS

Dedicated always and forever to @xxpeppermintxx109 , because, Sir, you know what I think of your stories and of you being so caring towards the fandom .

And to my bestie @allicentsallure , cause we spent at least three days trying to figure out how to get the voices work. And there are many other sentences waiting to be used 👀👀👀

Just saying... I'm trying to make GIFs with baby Malyn, sweet Malyn, lovely boy. But I start to whine like a dog with toothache each time I try, because Ch. XXI it's the best angsty chapter ever written

This video edit is awfully pathetically early 2000s, but hey, hello, I'm a The Oc and Smallville girl

[elysesium]

YA’LL ARE SO MAD FOR THIS! AAAAAHHHH! THIS JUST MADE MY NIGHT!

[elysesium]

Modern Shaemond AU where Aemond a sought after, highly renowned photographer and Shaera is an highly praised up and coming model. 

Remember when I bombarded you with ideas of Model Shaera and Photographer Aemond, @xxpeppermintxx109? Yeah, this is the result of that... hopefully it conveys it. Also, another dopamine dose cause Ao3 is being a dick.

“Shaera was her name. Sweet Shaera. The girl who didn't want for the Iron Throne and everyone thought her odd for it.” 

“Sweet and polite, yes, but she didn’t bite like her mother once had.” -Daemon, Chapter I 

"Her darling girl. Her first child. Her only daughter. So different was she to the rest. A dragon without wings, but with an affinity for flowers and the sea. The very best of she and Harwin…But Shaera…Shaera was everything and more..." -Rhaenyra, Chapter X 

"It was her smile. It was the way that the sea foam accepted her into its embrace without question. It was the laughter that poured from her lips and the crinkling at the corners of her eyes. It was the way that she looked like a true Velaryon—a girl born of the sea. And Aemond couldn’t tear his eyes away. He wasn’t sure he wanted to." -Aemond, Chapter X 

"Viserys, through the haze in his mind that begged he return to sleep, smiled at the sight of his lovely granddaughter. His first grandchild. His darling girl, one so much like her mother. One so much like Aemma. Sweet Aemma." -Viserys, Chapter XI 

Very quick mood board for the bestie @xxpeppermintxx109

I just love when a fanfic is so very soft that I have to stop reading every three rows and walk around my room for a bit with a hand on my heart while whispering "oh my god they glanced at eachother", because I get too overwhelmed with love and sweetness.

[elysesium]

I’m looking at you @xxpeppermintxx109​. I’m looking at you. 3-4 hours spent every chapter cause I get giggly.

[corpsegirlrots]

sorry i moaned when you threatened to kill me

[elysesium]

@lightningandfireinmybones​ sounds like Valaena

[xxpeppermintxx109]

Hey mint! Academically speaking, how is chapter 20 going? Any innocent spoilers you can share? Any snippets? Any suspicious and cryptic emojis to give us the general vibe of what's to come? (We're hanging on by a thread that cliffhanger omg, someone prepare the nurses for the CPR needed for the new update)

LMAO love the “academically speaking” anon sksksk

The chapter is almost done. Just finishing some sections off. It’s a bit of a heavy chapter (obviously) and there’s a lot of shit that goes down. It’s taking me longer to write purely because i need to take breaks for certain sections that are just…whew.

Uhhhh a little tid bit tho…hmmm…

this song and uh…

“Do you love her?”

Aemond ignored the question, staring only at the scarred hand resting upon the blanket. Finally, she had stopped picking. She finally stopped, but Aemond still grabbed her fingers. For just a moment, just long enough to stop her in case she woke.

“She will live?” he asked softly, squeezing Shaera’s hand once more. Once more before he left.

anyway! hope that’s enough to keep y’all on your toes until the chapter goes up!!

[elysesium]

I screamed. That's it I screamed.

To @xxpeppermintxx109 and their "Green lies black hearts", which completely stole my heart and my last strands of mental stability.

To all the sailors on board the Shaemond ship (cause it's been an honour to play with you)

“I thought you hated me, uncle.” Her words were barely more than a gasp now. So close. They were so close.

They could feel one another’s words pressing into their lips like ink to parchment.

“I think I should, niece” Aemond muttered, tilting his head just enough that if either moved any more, their lips would slot together in the way they both quivered to achieve. “I think I should.”

“But you don’t?”

“I don’t think I can.”

I've been thinking over this drawing for at least a month, maybe since Ch. IX . Then came chapters XIV and XV, the dancing, the lips brushing (and now more 👀👀👀), so I thought this could have not waited anymore.

I am so sorry for proportions and technique mistakes, and also cause Aemond looks more like Tom Hiddleston than Ewan Mitchell.

[elysesium]

I'll crawl home to her. YES HE WOULD!

[bluecoffeebeanz]

green lies, black hearts - chapter xvii

summary -

to blaspheme beneath the god’s trees

[elysesium]

This chapter without context

[jacenyra]

(…)Shaera took in the sight of him with hungry eyes. Steam crawled up his every muscle, the water reflected in his sapphire eye, and the ends of his silvery hair floated on the surface, appearing as liquid starlight(…)

“Shaera…” he moaned as she reached the tip, thumb swiping across the slit, and he dropped his head back as his chest heaved with effort. “Seven Hells…”

“Is this alright?” she asked.

“Yes” —another moan as she squeezed a bit tighter— “yes. Shaera…Seven help me.”

She chuckled at that, stepping closer so she could lean over him. He lifted his head and she kissed him lazily, stroking in the way he seemed to enjoy. He cupped the back of her head, crushing her to him, and they both panted between kisses.

“I don’t think your Seven are here, uncle,” she teased despite her frayed nerves. “If this is sin, I fear they may not wish to watch.”
