i have never like. felt a lot towards blake as a character before this video. like tbh the most i thought of him was that yeah, he was a threat, but also he plays fortnite canonically and that is really funny to me, but this video????????????????? holy shit this guy has been through so much. i am never one to support characters that have an, "ends justify the means," kind of mindset, and, to make it clear, that is not what i'm doing here, but that guy. damn. there is such sorrow and irony in a seer who's been blinded by his own naïveté and wants and inner turmoil, and it's come at an undefinably large cost to himself and so many others, and that just devastates me. i think that, specifically in this video, erik did an incredible job with both scripting blake's scenes and his vocal performance. i keep coming back to his confession scene and feeling so heartbroken and heavy for the guy. to be clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he has absolutely no excuse for his actions and he is 100% in the wrong for quite literally almost everything we have heard him do in the series, but i feel like the sincerity and honesty of blake's actions and dialogue in this video did a phenomenal job at truly conveying his fear and his grief and his determination for both his and bestie's situation. the fact that he's so desperate to keep them not only alive, but in his life as well, when they've made their boundaries clear to him and he has tried his best to suppress and alter things about himself and do whatever he can to make them as comfortable with him as possible (which is incredibly unhealthy btw he reeks of codependency issues i am not in support of any of this) is tragic to me :(( i'm really looking forward (lie this is a lie i'm actually really scared) to what erik decides to do with him next though!!
"The Chorus isn't pleased with your defiance. You do understand that the consequence of challenging authority is exile, don't you, Vega?"
hi, so imagine if Polaris survived the Cacophony (ig it was the Cataclysm in their world) and became part of the Chorus, though here it's less of a council and more of a monarchy. Jaded and scarred from the war, she might've took it upon herself to keep her brethren safe, even if that meant ruling with fear, even if that meant keeping secrets. Knowledge was power, after all. And being able to feed from the Sovereigns in Aria, demons would never die if they never stepped foot on Elegy.
Sacrifice the few to save the many, she supposed.
hello i have more
because obviously polaris knows vega can rift home whenever he wants.
Polaris: You could die there, Vega.
Vega:
Polaris:
Vega: I'm quaking in my boots.
Polaris: This is serious.
Vega: Ursa certainly said as much.
Polaris: Vega! Just- [sigh] Rift home if you really need to. Otherwise stay in Elegy for a couple hundred years. I'll convince the others to let you come back after they calm down.
protective older sister polaris
cough cough favoritism because vega was the first demon she got to play with until the other sovereigns made more. she'd still be a bad person for exiling the other demons who don't know how to rift
hey guys, I know my birthday is almost over, but I will not be mad if you put huxley in a box and wrap him up and tie a bow on it and give it to me to open!! I promise I won’t be mad!!! I encourage you to do so, as a matter of fact!!!
the summit audio is getting dangerously close and I can't help but be fucking terrified, 3 unempowered people, 4 shifters, and 1 stealth in a room filled with vamps
do you guys think that treasure is going to actually take the summit seriously or are they gonna think that all the vampires are just super dedicated LARPers
about the piece: i found myself in a bit of a slump after pushing out so much art in about 2 weeks so this piece took wayyyyy longer than any of my other ones. i knew I wanted the concept of a thermometer as a “cigarette” (do you guys get it. because like. a fever you can’t sweat out. a high fever. right you guys get it right??????) but it took me a LOT of tries to eventually land on a composition i actually liked—do not even get me STARTED on how I incorporated the title. I couldn’t decide on using a font or hand lettering or even where to place the text, it took me a solid two days to get to where it is now and I’m not even 100% happy with it. i tried to mimic a playing card design with the text placement but I’m not sure how well I pulled it off
here are some of the process pics:
the concept itself comes from a lot of the references to addiction in the album as well as the heavy burlesque, early 1900s, circus influence on the album aesthetic (whoever thought of this album theme deserves an award, AFYSCO has genuinely some of the coolest concepts from a design perspective to me)
about the album: AFYCSO is probably one of the best debut albums imo (although that title probably goes to Olivia Rodrigo’s “SOUR” for me)—it’s genuinely in my top three favorite albums of all time, no skips whatsoever on there. regardless of my opinion on Panic! at the Disco (which was pretty much neutral, I never really got into bandom and I didn’t really listen to panic’s music outside of AFYSCO) AFYSCO will always have a special place in my heart, both musically and lyrically it’s SO GOOD
although, I will say that there are some misogynistic undertones (and in some cases just outright misogyny) in these lyrics—I did touch on this topic in my DANCE DANCE commentary so I won’t repeat myself, check that post for more of my thoughts. all in all, the album bangs, but the misogynistic undertones were basically unavoidable if you look at the album in terms of being written by a teenage boy in the early 2000s who got cheated on. hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but the devil himself doesn’t write lyrics like a teen boy cheated on—go figure. im not saying all the songs have misogynistic undertones but I will say there are a couple that are WAY in ur face (looking at you, I write sins)
anyway, that’s basically it, ok byeeeeee!!!
p.s: i was debating mentioning this because I feel like im beating a dead horse, but in light of Brendon Urie’s recent actions (as well as past controversial actions), I don’t support him and feel extremely bad about the people who his actions have hurt—but I don’t think that means much from a person who never really liked him in the first place. again, while I was a BIG fan of AFYCSO, I never really got into Panic! at the Disco (I only listened to Pretty. Odd. recently this month and before that I only really knew the big radio hits). im not gonna pretend like I know everything about what happened with Panic! at the Disco in recent years and truly? I don’t Care to find out—panic! has been disbanded, and while I look at AFYSCO fondly with nostalgia, I don’t feel much about the band itself
p.p.s: AFYCSO almost killed me once because when I had a kidney infection (although I didn’t know it at the time) I had an INSANELY HIGH fever. I thought to myself “haha this is a fever I can’t sweat out!! like the album!!” and then promptly passed out—I wasted my last coherent thought on some stupid P!TAD joke instead of. asking for medical attention. anyway I ended up in the emergency room so I didn’t die but it was a near thing
it’s a surprise attack!!! (haha get it. because a camisado. a camisado is a surprise attack)

process + commentary under the cut:
about the piece: the composition of this piece actually came pretty quickly to me—I had this composition in mind from the beginning and it didn’t really change at all. here’s the sketch for proof:
ALTHOUGH, I had SUCH a hard time with the lettering for this piece— and overall I’m not very happy with the lettering (in comparison to my other pieces, ESP my fob and tyv art, maybe it’s just p!atd???) but I do think it’s a bit clever. my own handwriting didn’t fit the vibe, and just putting text over it seemed too clean, so this began the extensive process of trying to copy time new roman by hand. although it was fun finding places to put all the lyrics
about the song: camisado is definitely not my favorite song off afycso, but I will say lyrically it’s one of my favs just because they are SO clever like DAMN!!!!!! rent was due i guess
the complexity of the lyrics did make it very hard to complete this piece though—I got the lyrics wrong on four separate occasions despite listening to the song on repeat for two days and kept having to go in and fix em (which was. extremely tiring.)
anyway, even though I’m on a bit of a pre-spilt panic! binge rn, I’ll probably go back to making fob art soon because yayyyy another tour!!! hopefully I can get tickets this time round (wish me luck!)
guys guess what my favorite fall out boy album is. you’ll NEVER get it.

alternate versions and commentary under the cut!
it was pretty easy designing a poster for “Take a Vacation!” (which is another cool album by the young veins and you guys should TOTALLY check out my art for that hehehe) but I had SO MUCH trouble with “So Much (For) Stardust” —i had to listen to that album on loop for like two whole entire days to figure out what I wanted to do with it. i have too many thumbnails to count (and a WHOLE page of notes about the album) but the design you see w/ the bubble genuinely came to me in a dream as i was about to sleep. go figure huh
anyway, the bubble popping is supposed to mimic the look of stardust (or, at least, what I imagine stardust to look like), and the bubbles are a callback to the official album cover!! it was actually my first time drawing bubbles, so it was a bit of a challenge (read: a huge pain in my ass. i’m not even getting paid for this, i put myself through that WILLINGLY). all the writing is hand-lettered except for their names (that was in canva LOL!)
also, just a side note, my fav fob album is cork tree, i just reeeeeaalllly wanted to make art to this one.
here are some of the (basically unhelpful and illegible but cool) notes i took on the album:
and here’s the concept that I scribbled right before passing out! (it’s. rough.)
anyway that’s it byeeeeee!!!!!! (and go stream so much (for) stardust!)
