I give you a mega dump of all the Seiftis stuff I have drawn in the last 24 hrs to bring in the new year!

Pencil of paper by me.

[eilti]

Literally just let this play 8 times in a row and my smile never faltered even once 😁

[uselessmateria]

A delight, every time.

[firstknightvulion]

Have to stan one of my OG’s. A proud member of my BIG FOUR ships.

Quistis is looking and touching respectfully, your honor.

Doodling Seifer and trying different things

[jailaloo]

Why is it that when life turns sour, I find myself going back to the comforts of fandom?

Seiftis still feels like home, except now I can’t help be a bit bitter when they finally get together as my marriage is most probably on its last legs.

Oh well.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

I miss big spooky house decorations every year, but I'm so jealous of those who are surrounded by KPDH decor and costumes!!!

As Saja is a lion in Korean, Squall is meant to be Jinu!

Have you ever read about two hotter zombie slayers than Seifer and Quistis in Bad Blood by @siobhann? Let me help you out: no, you have not.

Dave Brandt was so much more than a meme. He partnered with universities to experiment with and expand soil conservation and cover crop techniques, worked to educate other farmers through worldwide conventions and direct mentorship, founded the Soil Health Academy, and was called the "Obi-Wan Kenobi of soil health" by the chief of the USDA's conservation department.

There is no healthy planet without healthy ag practices, and this guy was a legend.

The A-horizon on his farm was 4 feet deep

You do not understand

Most modern Ag operations don’t even have a proper A-Horizon. They’re too busy turning the earth every time they replant. The A-horizon is the Black Gold that makes Soil Soil. It’s a structurally complex soil horizon that must be built in place by the interactions of Plants and Fungi and Insects. It is The Thing that soaks up rain and holds onto it for plants. The A-Horizon is The Thing that builds up when you let a field sit fallow. The act of tilling creates fecundity by breaking up the A-horizon. On a really good Organic no-till farm you might find an A-horizon between 3-6 inches.

His A-horizon was 4 feet deep. 50 inches.

I-

I have no context. His farm was covered in a living skin thick enough for a child to stand in.

Gives me hope for what we could accomplish if we got our collective heads on straight, you know? Like. This was one guy. A brilliant man, who knew what he was up to, but. The thing about brilliant ideas is they can be shared.

50 inches. The mind reels.

This is so much more impressive than I can understand and comprehend and I would love to know more about A horizon

Do you love the color of the Soil?

Humus, or Humic Compounds, are a cryptic and poorly understood set of organic substances. As the final metabolic result of once-living things being digested first by macroscopic organisms, and then by microorganisms, they resist most forms of analysis, and have cryptic structures. A few that we have managed to isolate and study are the Humic & Fulvic Acids.

Humus has a number of remarkable tendencies. It is capable of retaining water far better than any raw mineral clay; it also retains electrically charged clay granules, which themselves retain mineral ions, all of which is essential to make a soil a high-quality resource for Plants to grow in.

A composter is a box that contains an environment that is conducive to the production of Humus, but the best way to produce it is in-place, by laying layers of organic material down over an unbroken earth and growing things out of that. The interaction of the plants rooting, the fungus weaving itself through everything, the bacteria and archaea metabolizing as they do, and inorganic weathering forces all combine to gradually build up the microscopic equivalent of a complex megastructure capable of retaining far more water, and containing far more nutrients, than any inorganic substrate.

This stuff is black gold. This is the stuff that determines whether or not a plot of land is going to be “productive.” The knowledge of how to make it, how to care for it, is an essential piece of wisdom that our civilization needs to remember.

Fortunately, folks seem to have the right response:

Farmers are more important to the continuity of civilization than administrators, no matter what the elitists say. This knowledge is important.

Exactly

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

Happy birthday Quistis!!!

[haya-pandaman]

Thank you for viewing the post😺

Some Seiftis drawings of various scenes in my fics. Except shirtless Seifer, that’s a muscle study.

I really should get a scanner.

Pencil on paper by me.

[firstknightvulion]

This obviously a drawing of a Seifer helping Quistis getting something from a tall shelf.

Why is she saying his name like that? Well, he uh…came from behind…her and surprised her!

Absolutely nothing illicit going on here.

The Train to Timber

I've been pondering what happened to Seifer before attacking the president. He was agitated and lost his composure. The whole thing was not well planned.

Some people say the attack was for Rinoa, but if that was true, he would've joined Timber Owl first to secure her safety, as someone who always wanted to be a knight.

I always wondered what pushed him that far.

Thinking that Quistis was after him, maybe it was her who confronted him to face the harsh reality and led him to lose his sanity?

[ethernalium]

Me hugging the remaining 6 ffviii fans that are still there:

[jailaloo]

As an Old, I will inevitably drift in and out of fandom because of life, but best believe when I’m here it will always be FFVIII (and Seiftis in particular of course).

Apparently, it really wasn’t a phase, mom. 😳

[jsheaisaninja]

happy holidays from me to you :)
