Go my Lorrelings, attack my mutuals !!

[argyropoeiaa]

i think mirror nina should get to be a little more Bird ….

[ezrratic]

Me sharing my bday with Stonewall: Awesome! Yay! Gay rights! It's like the stars aligned for me, a genderqueer lesbian!

Me sharing my bday with Henry VIII's bday and Queen Victoria's coronation: Neutral. On the one hand I'm a huge UK history nerd so it's fun, on the other hand these were Not Good People

Me sharing my bday with El*n M*sk: what in the monkey's paw

[ezrratic]

It's that time of year again (aka my birthday) so here are a few more things that happened on my bday through the years and ratings

World premiere of Giselle: Pretty good! I love ballet (though I still haven't seen Giselle) and Giselle is one of the Trinity of Classics so that's pretty important

Catherine the Great seizing power: Eh. On the one hand I'm Russian and she was cool on the other hand the whole system was fucked up and empires suck so

Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand: Not great. I don't think I need to explain

[argyropoeiaa]

im going to see Ragtime in a few days- i made a couple stickers for the cast im seeing! (obrc w/ john clay coalhouse and morgan marcell matayoshi evelyn- may make joshua and anna grace versions eventually)

i might make them actual stickers to buy If people want them - lmk if you’d be interested!

"trans people just name themselves after characters" as opposed to cis people who name their children after names in the bible

I mean I'm a trans person who named myself after a name in the Bible so idk who to root for here

10 People You'd Like To Know Better!!!!!

oh boy this will be chaotic, sorry already for that lol @ceremorph0sis this is your fault xDD

🎶🎵 LAST SONG...🎵 🎶

i fucking love this version specifically, idk why, it scratches something in my brain ^^

😳🥰CURRENT OBSESSION... 🥰😳

*looks at a certain blond man with an alien rock spider as best friend* they are precious to me, very adorbs and way too relatable. i think there are only 2 friends i have not yet got to watch it with me xDD

📖🤓 CURRENTLY READING... 🤓📖

The Hollow Man by John Dickson Carr and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It's a weird combo of very old classic detective story and a very much modern book about how friendship saved two planets xD

✍️🪶CURRENTLY WORKING ON... 🪶✍️

i got so many drawing on my WIP list rn, but my most recently started one is a lil piece for a friend of mine and myself as Grace and Rocky because we do seem to have a similar dynamic going on xDD

👠👔 CURRENTLY WEARING... 👔👠

think Neil Newbon when he's streaming BG3 (even cut my hair today, the resemblance is a lil scary and very much not the goal xDD)

💻💭 LAST SEARCH... 💭💻

Rune Factory 5 guides BECAUSE THIS FUCK ASS GAME DOESN'T EXPLAIN SHIT TO THE PLAYER, have fun playing it without guides, you will not get far.... (also ngl i hate that all the romancables look so fucking yung, i get the ick just thinking about romancing any of em)

🌻🌹FAVORITE FLOWER...🌹🌻

i really like sunflowers, im aware im basic for that but vanilla is a classic for a reason. sunflowers, daisys and poppy flowers. they are very pretty ^^

okay now i need to add 10 peeps, right? let's see if we can make that happen lol

@wolfsong-the-bloody-beast @judblanc @nerdytwat @hermitcrabofficial @propenseverbosity @chillyfeetsteak

[nerdytwat]

It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these aha, thank you Aceus <3

last song

Sarniezz by Angine de Poitrine, I like to put them on when I need to focus, because I get distracted by lyrics, but need something interesting enough to keep my brain engaged.

current obsession

…Disco Elysium I fear. I started playing it when I got out of hospital and had to stay with a family member for a period of time while I recovered. I was (and still am) being denied treatment by my GP, and needed something to keep my mind busy and try to adjust to my brain fog and memory being much worse. It was a game I’d heard about, and it was on Game Pass, so I gave it a try, and my ass got hooked.

currently reading

You Weren’t Meant To Be Human by Andrew Joseph White. For transparency’s sake I will say that I know I started reading it, but this was before my hospital stint, and I have absolutely no memory of reading it or what it’s about, but plan to start again soon.

currently working on

Writing wise, I swear I am still chipping away at my judblanc fic, god willing I’ll get the next chapter out before 2027, lol. I’ve also been doing a lot of Lino cutting, and am currently painting a picture frame for a Pan’s Labyrinth print I made for my ex film teacher.

currently wearing

Plaid dad shorts and a Stephen Rhodes t-shirt. And I’m sat on the floor because my bed, desk, and chair are all covered in painted things that are drying.

last search

“Costa lemon curd muffin copycat recipe” cause I have a fridge full of lemon curd and a distant memory of the Costa lemon muffins my Nan used to buy me back when I could eat dairy.

favourite flower

Poppies, they used to grow wild near my childhood home.

I definitely don’t have ten people to tag, aha, but I’ll tag @locoustfilledcardboardbox985 @dontasktherain @averagecygnet-blog @oysterpe @laterkiss and anyone else who sees this and wants to :)

[averagecygnet-blog]

ty for the tag !! <3 <3

last song -- ive been listening to jack stauber's hilo on repeat a lot, so that would be pizza boy.

current obsession -- wake up dead man... ive been trying to get my new longform judblanc fic off the ground but due to some circumstances ive gotten off track, hopefully i can get back on that...

currently reading -- ah , im not currently reading anything for fun right now, ive just barely started my summer studies so the only thing i can say im reading is allen and greenough's new latin grammar X___X but the iliad and the canterbury tales are also goals of mine this summer. so wish me luck

currently working on -- like prev i too am working on a judblanc fic ! i haven't posted any of it yet but ive written 30k for it and i do think there's something there so i HOPE i can post AT LEAST chapters 1-4 which is where the , premise rlly starts. projected 28 chapters. and outside the realm of writing im also working on , making a pair of cargo shorts out of some worn out old jeans. and trying to teach myself latin (just started) (still hopeful)

currently wearing -- bnha league of villains t shirt + pajama pants

last search -- "beowulf original" bc i wanted to check that old english did use articles, it did, im planning on taking a course on old english in the fall

@ghostinacardboardbox @liquidpaperfoundation1 @dehydratedtransformer @gnomus-the-great @booooooooof-9-o-s @spacemancharisma @itsgonnagetinspiringsoon

[booooooooof-9-o-s]

OOO this is so fun!! thank you for the tag <3

last song -- Hell of a Ride by Bo Burnham, I fell asleep to Hit Album what. last night and haven’t listened to anything this morning

current obsession -- ohhh MAN there are many.. i think it’s a very close race between Arrested Development and House M.D., and it fluctuates on the daily which is ahead.

currently reading -- Sunrise on the Reaping!! i’m hoping to get a lot of it done this week in st. george because i have like nothing else planned for this trip, so. book! it’s really fantastic i like it a lot

currently working on -- Artfight References (AUGH. BLOW UP.) most of it is re-vamping my refs from last year, but holy smokes it is a lot of drawing. very fun and exciting!! also trying to teach myself storyboarding… it is a trial to be sure. but hopefully i can make at least one animatic-style artfight attack this year, that’d be good.

currently wearing -- jaws t-shirt and a pair of red shorts with a very large waist that i needed to cinch with an elastic band during my walk this morning

last search -- “trixie and starlight mlp equestria girls” i wanted to see their canon human designs because my dash was very loaded with them last night

favorite flower -- this is the most difficult one on here.. ouhhhh man probably hyacinths because of their funky shape

[thearcanecat]

Informing all of this is that I am at summer camp right now for my job!

Last song: Amen by Nathalie Taylor. We sang it in a worship thing for camp.

Current obsession: Been getting back into Hermitcraft. It’s one of those things that I forget about for a year and then remember and catch up on everything in a two month period and then forget about again. But I’ve been watching Pearlescentmoon a lot and it’s been fun!

Currently reading: Not a solid book right now. I’m keeping up with fanfic reading. My camp is using The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz to inform our SEL, so I hope to read some of that over summer but I’ll see if I have the time.

Currently working on: Camp. That is my whole life right now. For a more focused answer, I am hoping to run ttrpg at some point so I need to adapt one of my one-shots to a simpler rules system and ensure it fits in a two hour block.

Currently wearing: A watch, teal t-shirt, jean shorts, ankle socks that do not match, vans shoes with shoelaces that also do not match. I will put on a cape when I leave. It’s my blue blanket one.

Last search: Rhymezone. For my hand sanitizer poems.

Favorite flower: Sunflowers! We used to grow them at my house and I got to eat the seeds. Imagine a like 10 year old with a whole sunflower head in her lap picking them out.

No pressure tags: @bolo-from-aeor @goldenart004 @ender-of-the-sender @wups-up @paranormaltheatrekid + anyone else who wants to join!

[wups-up]

Ooh I like this one ((:

Last song: Human to You by Madds Buckley. I needed to let off some steam lol.

Current obsession: I know based on my blog it seems like I’m always obsessed with hatchetfield, but like that’s usually a constant medium level interest. Right now I’m more actively hyperfixated. I’ve been working on my Holywebs au a lot, and also I’ve been thinking about Glam and the Pentagrams. At the same time I’ve been slowly watching through vods of FFVII gameplay and reading aerti fics before bed lol.

Currently reading: Paradise Lost! Oh my god. Like oh my god it’s taking me forever because I keep annotating the crap out of each page. The language is just so dense and every time I have to pause and reread and parse and give my thoughts AGHHH. I’m reading it cuz someone I respect recommended it to me, it’s mentioned in Frankenstein and I love Frankenstein and it’ll give me more insights into The Creature as a character, and also because my au has lots of religious theming and I thought it’d fun to draw from paradise lost as well (I also recently got a copy of Dante’s inferno for similar reasons)

Currently working on: I’ve been doing hatchetfield art requests on my art acc so I’ve been doing those. Also I’m always working on a poem and my au + someone just sent me an ask about a different au I’ve been cooking up and whoops it’s getting kinda long so that too. I write fanfic now too I guess??? So like I’m working on a Zailey/theatermates fic.

Currently wearing: Big Sleep Shirt and old gym shorts. Picture adam sandler essentially

Last search: I think it was actually Websters dictionary because I was also looking at rhymes for a poem lol. The one I’m workshopping right now is in the style of a children’s book and it’s about the fluidity of gender.

Favorite flower: I don’t actually have a favorite flower (I know I’m boring. No whimsey. Stone me now.), but my partner’s favorite flowers are columbines. I’ve drawn them a lot because of this and now they’re very sentimental to me.

lets be marketable sticker design with mama

[argyropoeiaa]

you’re telling me a BI frosted this incident??

some designs notes under the cut! lmk if you wanna see Lyf+ background characters hehe

the yggdrasilian’s physiology is kinda taking sigyn’s cool face paint and turning them into markings, and some inspiration from @wreegis ‘s designs too!

and i just think darkened /inkstained limbs and twotoned hair are really cool. pretend theres an actual in universe reason. smthn abt the sun idk

also bc a lot of the background characters are named after dogs/wolves in mythology and i wanted a way for them to Be dogy.

i think they can range from just the fingers /toes/hair tips (sigyn) to halfway up the hair and limbs (loki). same with the face markings- from a few lines to like. eye masks. and tails are fun, can go from horse-like (odin/sigyn) to catlike (loki/thor)

also these four all have one eye covered to tie thematically to Odin. i think thats silly.

odin’s design is very on the historical side of historical scifi. i looked at actual norse clothing for her. i chose gold/yellow for her color, and the white gets all rainbow funky and oilslick when the eldritch shit happens!

loki’s outfit is meant to be cumbersome and impractical- weird sleeve things, long pants, heavy belts and necklaces. odin wants to keep up appearances so she wouldn’t restrain loki with chains - but her outfit is meant to be hard to run very far in. the gold on her is the exact shade of odin’s further tying them together and cementing her As property of odin at that moment . also shes got mouth scars from the execution when it was stitched! yeeowch

for thor- i adore the design that make him gruff and practical but in my head he’s like a washed up tech bro nepo baby, which also distinguishes him from MCU thor. hair a bit too long, wearing fancy clothes but not stylishly… his hammer (with a short handle ofc!) is a longer one that was snapped in half and even the mechanical supplies on the train are a horribly garish gold.

sigyn’s not exactly in her standard blue color- the majority of her disguise is Ratatosk white, with little bits of blue peeking out just to give her a more obvious color identity. also the steward costumes are like. really impractical. got that weird flap in the front. she’s got her knife with her, silver instead of gold. i have this evil headcanon that the midgard resistance were just kinda let on the train because odin kinda knew they were dead already bc of yogsothoth, so there was no need. so sigyn can keep her knife :)

Just found out that the opera that I'm seeing tomorrow doesn't have a tenor :( where am I going to get my Gender Enrichment from

Not to be hugely annoying about ballet but who thought it was a good idea to let the "let's add another act of extra music and unnecessary waltzes just because" choreographer work on a ballet by the "let's add 57 tableaus and random mythological and anthropomorphic characters in the last act just because" composer
