Mine was Lost Paradise by Toru Naomura, a short series of 6 tomes.

It was a random gift my parents got me for my 11th birthday. At the time, I remember quite liking it. As I grew older, I came to love this manga series EVEN MORE.

It's not the prettiest manga when it comes to the art, being the first one of Toru Naomura. They perfected their style when working on this project and it's amazing to watch this book by book.

This manga opens interesting conversations about misogyny, patriarchy, forgiveness, trust, sorority/adelphity, and love. It's so beautiful. Each time I pick it up and re-read it, I get to understand new things or have a new perspective on the characters as well as my own life.

It's a series that was also very defining when it came to my own growth as a teen, becoming a feminine woman despite not identifying with the expectations that came with it.

It was also a turning point regarding the way I interacted with other girls and women, and approached the broad spectrum of love towards my counter parts. It was the first time I was shown that women could fall in love with each other, and also the first time I saw that trust and happiness does not come necessarily from that type of love.

This series is not edited anymore I guess, but give it a go if you have the chance to!!

[finnglas]

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

The Wachowski sisters' rough thumbnail sketches vs final frames:

[shishuri]

This is attention to details man

Ganon holds a bow straight while Link holds it at an angle.

Ganon also draws the bow like a samurai, (since this Ganon is more samurai like) he positions/aim the bow then draws.

(Not shown here) Even if Link uses a long bow like Ganon he will still aim at an angle since he is a soldier. He positions/aim the bow and draws at the same time.

The bow Ganon uses will recoil meaning this is a heavy bow. (They didnt need to add that detail in, but they did man)

[jackofallblades]

Ooh, I’m about to be very normal about this. Okay so one of the first things I noticed with BotW is that Link uses a reverse-Mediterranean draw. It’s your basic 3-finger grip on the string except with the palm facing outward. I mostly see this style used in pop culture when you want to seem exotic (the Na’vi from Avatar draw this way). As far as this grip’s use in history I remember seeing some pottery art of a Scythian warrior drawing palm-out, but can’t confirm if that’s accurate or typical for them. The advantage of this draw is that you can go from loading an arrow to drawing the bow in one fluid motion. That makes for quick and snappy gameplay. Perhaps all Hyrule soldiers are taught to shoot this way, but to me it seems so unusual I always read it as Link being self-taught. Ganon absolutely shoots like he’s doing Kyudo. Kyudo focuses on form and ritual, where nocking and drawing are just as important and deliberate actions as shooting. It’s more of a meditative exercise. I don’t think the little flourish at the end is so much recoil as it is part of that proper form. Kyudo has a thing called  Yugaeri where you turn your wrist outward at the end of your shot, causing the bow to turn in your hand. I’m not as familiar with Japanese archery, but Persian archery has a similar motion called Khatra, and it helps reduce the effects of the archer’s paradox, where the energy is sending the arrow directly into the bow, forcing the arrow to curve around it and redirecting its path at an angle. When you turn the bow as you shoot, the arrow is sent past the riser instead of directly into it, allowing for a straighter shot.  These choices are absolutely dripping with characterization. Link’s style is focused on results; throw enough pointy sticks downrange until the enemy stops moving, whereas Ganon clearly has training and shoots like it’s a ceremony. When I looked up Kyudo to write this, the article suggested that the bow turn at the end is mainly used for ceremony or competition shooting, and battlefield archers would hold the bow more securely to follow up with subsequent shots easier. What does this say about Ganon? Maybe he remains relaxed in a fight because he doesn’t perceive Link as a threat, and would rather focus on his perfect form. Maybe Nintendo wanted his motions to be slow and clear so the player knows when to raise their shield. Maybe the animator just happened to be familiar with Japanese archery and didn’t care to match it with Link’s animation that was imported from the previous game.

a helpful slideshow created by my friend @the-celestial-bitch and her sister who can no longer access her blog from her country and has asked me to post in her stead instead

this is what she said:

this is a direct response to all the people whose reaction to what’s happening in iran is a calling them islamophobic and blocking them, furthering the oppression they’re experiencing by the government’s hands. please read this, and repost it on Twitter or Instagram and stop the misinformation from spreading

I saw an article called “Make Peace With Your Unlived Life” and it really made me stop and think. So much of our lives is mourning for what we didn’t become. It’s a waste. We didn’t waste any opportunities. What came and went was not meant for us.

The drawings I did last week for the Aromantic spectrum awareness week and finally translated into english as best as I could. Making something for the occasion was dear to me and I felt like drawing Meryl once again, through some of her questionings and fears.

I haven’t named the man on the second pic yet but he is indeed aro, too! I’m not used to drawing in green. I inked traditionally and colored digitally.
