Just another art blog. I try to update my pinned with what i’m currently interested in. i’m also on instagram with the same name. you can call me Hyde. I’m 22 and use any pronouns
In honor of finishing my undergrad degree i’m finally updating my pinned post!
Hello! I’m Hyde. I make art about knights a lot :)
If you’re looking for consistency this is not the blog for you, my interests are many and varied. Also if i ever tag something with “i’ll make more art for this later” know I’m probably lying.
I don’t tag for blood, nudity etc so watch out i guess
I’m also inactive on my instagram which is basically the same name but with a “.” instead of a “-“ (i rarely post there anymore, if you want to see more of my non-fandom art im also at marenhsart).
i understand all that shit about honor and knighthood and solemn vows but “kingslayer” is simply a bad insult. it sounds cool as fuck. might as well call him the landlord annihilator or the billionaire’s bane.
One of worst things copaganda ever perpetuated is the rhetoric that if you aren't guilty of breaking the law, you shouldn't value your personal privacy against the state's surveillance and interrogation. That only guilty people hire lawyers when talking to police.
literally have no idea how this idea came to me i believe it was a mix between listening to téir abhaile riu and also having too many references of couples kissing on trains during wartimes. I should also probably blame my mother and I’s current murder mystery show set during ww2
anyway i think probably human au and definitely no magic we’ll see how weird it is drawing Moonshine without huge elf ears. I would’ve liked to draw something for this but i just finished a project and have no energy. way too many details under the cut
so i imagine this takes place in Scotland just because i think that’s fun
I’m not sure exactly what roles people play, especially at different points during the war but i have some things i do know. Beverly is definitely an evacuee from London and misses his parents dearly but is enjoying living with Moonshine
Erlin and Egwene are also nearby evacuees living with Red and Gunter and Cobb. The three of them work on a farm where Egwene joins the Land Girls.
Apple Scrumper is also a part of the Land Girls and Egwene looks up to her greatly. Mavrus is an RAF pilot who flies a spitfire. The other pilots call him The Unskooled because of how little attention he payed during classes but he’s consistently the top flier in the squadron.
Gemma and Jaina are both ladies of a noble house. Jaina, likely against her father’s wishes, went and became a commander in the WRNS. Gemma stayed at home but has done great work, regularly taking in evacuees, and giving up her family’s land for farming.
Meemaw is definitely a nurse and also does a lot of volunteering to help out around her village. She is great at making the most of any food and making her ration book last. Cobb is too old to fight in this war but he is a determined member of the Home Guard. Lucanus and Erdan are both codebreakers at Bletchley during the war.
I am not sure what exactly I want Balnor to be doing or where he should be from. I think he is probably a refugee, maybe an Allied spy who lost his wife and son and then fled to Scotland. I think he either just helps out with farm work like most people or does something mechanical? I do not know.
I also do not know what exactly I want to do for Moonshine and Hardwon but I have a couple ideas in mind. For Hardwon I imagine that he starts off as just a farmer but knowing him he would enlist as soon as possible. I am torn between just having him be a regular soldier with the Scottish army (they wore kilts sometimes it’s great) or having him also be in the RAF with Mavrus.
For Moonshine I think she probably starts off similar to Meemaw and is a healer and does farm work. I do not know if I want her to be a part of the Land Girls, or do like engineering and mechanical work. I also think it would be very cool if towards the end of the war she went and worked at Bletchley with Lucanus.
Anyway character dynamics time. Uhhhhh probably Hardwon and Moonshine romantic letter correspondence (this whole thing did start with train kisses) but also maybe Hardwon and Gemma were still childhood sweethearts or something. Also maybe Moonshine and Jaina have a little romance. Bev and Erlin definitely fall in love too. Anyway everyone knows and is friends with each other and yeah.
if you’ve read this far lmk your thoughts? any additions?
germany and christianity knowers: out of curiosity, any clue what denomination movie stratt would be most likely to be? I've tried to work it out myself but demography is very much not my area and I'm not sure how to track down stats on religion in east germany in the 1980s
to clarify for those who are germany and/or christianity knowers but not project hail mary movie knowers: the character is both canonically east german and canonically religious, and given the context (you'll never guess what she named The Project she's in charge of) I think it's reasonable say she's specifically canonically christian. assuming she was born at roughly the same time as her actress, she would have grown up in the 80s and 90s.
I see and hear all the Protestant denominations in these comments, and I place my own vote firmly with Catholic.
(Specifically a lapsed Catholic, but y'know, minor details)
Two reasons:
1. As Biscia says, the St Christopher medallion. I don't know anything about Orthodoxy, but Catholics love that guy! Protestants do (sometimes) also believe in Saints (to varying degrees of practice) but do not generally venerate them in the way a medallion would indicate. All of this is vague because there are like a million different sects of Christianity and everyone's got their own secret sauce recipe to heaven. But generally? Saints are the territory of Catholics and Orthodox and Catholicism is a lot more prevalent in Germany just going by stats.
2. More speculative but the way she talks about her faith for those two lines reads as so cradle Catholic to me: God willing (in response to if they will resolve the Petrova Line) and it beats the alternative (in response to if she believes in God). Both are things that could be nominally said by someone of any denomination, but considering the context of when she's said it: after the paving of the Sahara and bombing of Antarctica, the meaning shifts. She bears the cross of all these decisions solely on her own back, for the betterment and survival of the world, as well as her upcoming imprisonment and that sort of redemptive suffering, well, it's kind of classically Catholic.
my worst naddpod betrayal was hearing calder’s oldest brothers name before i saw it spelled and assumed it was spelled gawaine and was sad to know it was phonetic (gowan)
for ship bingo, hardshine, collum & nimue, and sundrysyx!
hardshine:
the blueprint i love how ive never seen a hardshine take i didn’t agree with shoutout the cool insightful mutuals
collum and nimue:
cute!! i like the development of their relationship but im actually not so sure how long they’d stay together past the end of the novel given the story’s nature as one that doesn’t necessarily have happy endings
sundrysyx:
i like them! i feel like i generally don’t have many opinions about the romantic pairings of any of the wurst crew other than good for them (lucille bluth voice)
i feel soooooo normal about them i promise :), i would have crossed out i enjoy making fan works but i actually think trying to make genuine art of them might destroy me (hence rizace)
eding (i assume you mean ed + ling if im wrong correct me):
i feel pretty fine about them tbh i think it’s cute and silly but i fear im just too greedling(+lanfan) pilled for this
i already have a blood kink and a salt water kink (i neeeed to lick sea water off of someone) and so i feel like if i contemplated enough i could do it
like i know venezuela is going through a huge humanitarian crisis right now and their political regime is low in the list of priorities when tallinmg about it obviously it's just it shocked me to read trump congratulating his secretary of energy on how well he's running what used to be a sovereign country until a few months back you know
Centering Black environmental thought and indigenous medicine ways is to recognize that food deserts are not naturally occurring but designed to displace people from resources for profit. Food deserts are in fact food apartheids.
A newly unredacted FTC complaint shows that Pepsi and Walmart worked together to rig grocery pricing and protect Walmart’s dominance.
The FTC under Biden was investigating and suing about this. The trump admin dropped this.
The worst part is that this is a systemic problem of capital that actually could be fixed by government action, easily. To keep the Waltons rich, there are genuine and huge conspiracies dedicating to destroying everywhere else you could buy food.
One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.
Very fond of macrolabels, like “queer”, that provide zero extra information. Is it genderqueer? Is it romantic/sexual orientation queer? Is it queer as in “none of your fucking business what’s in my pants and what I do with it and with whom”?
This is actually probably the first time I’ve ever read something that accurately describes my relationship with gender--ie, ‘my gender is me and my pronouns are a you problem’--so thank you for that!
