TLDR: I study TVDM, I like having fun and being creative; Im Trans, Bi, In a relationship, And cool
I'm currently in college studying TV and digital media production, and I will probably get a psychology minor starting this fall.
I like to code; write scripts, short stories, poems, and books; spend time in nature, I especially like tennis and hiking; take photos; draw (digital and traditional); watch movies/TV; work on big, elaborate projects; spend time playing games (videogames, sports, and boardgames) with friends and family; cook; and practice mindfulness/meditate.
Im an insanely dry texter, so be warned. But if you do want to be friends, ask me what games I play, and maybe we can do that :D (18 and older tho). Or we could penpal if your interested in that!
I'm a bit (a lot) of a stoner, but I've quit smoking, and I'm on a tolerance break for the summer. TBH, Im trying to cut back a bit and build up some discipline lol.
I am transmasc/man. Id say I a dude but in a nonbinary way, and also in just a guy way Iykyk. He/they are preferred but Im chill with anything. I don't like to be gendered femininely.
I'm Bi and happily dating my GF :P. I say Bi, but lowkey, I feel straight most of the time, lol. I'd say Im 70% into women, 20% enby, and than dudes (mostly fictitious). Is this because Im in a relationship and there for not thinking about other people, mayhaps.
I think im going to use this place as a little blog/log of my hijinks. I might get more blogs eventually, but prob not. I'm not going to reblog anything without reason.
Black-capped Vireo (Vireo atricapilla), family Vireonidae, order Passeriformes, central TX, USA
Formerly listed as endangered, the species was taken off of the endangered species list by the USFWS in 2018. Numbers had risen due to successful recovery projects.
Black caps have a limited area where they nest, mostly in Shin Oaks, in central TX, southern OK, and northern Mexico.
Fun fact: never assume a hike is probably a circle; it might be 20 miles long and not a circle.
Don't leave your water in the car, nor assume your phone probably has enough charge because you're 'just going for a short walk.'
Definitely, do not go alone 2 hours before sunset.
Also, just go the way you came as soon as you get lost! Don't keep going because, 'well, it might loop around! ' It won't!
Because you might get lost in the woods in the middle of the night, unable to call home nor able to see two feet ahead of you on a trail that was never a circle.
THEY ARE HERE!!! I'm very excited to finally share the full designs hope you guys like them <3
These are only like a base, they'll wear more layers on top and have more weapons and armor some times (and like, wear other clothes) but I wanted to have at least one reference for myself that I can use and later on work on top of and give them more outfits (playing dolls with them basically)
I had a lot of thought behind the designs so if you're interested, there's an infodump below the cut. It's very long and messy so read at your own risk
I tried to have some sort of historical accuracy (even if it's a fictional story and the exact time period when it happens is ??) mainly bc I'm tired of how celts are portrayed in media (they wore tacky colors please stop with the grey brown leathers fur), and a bit bc I'm a nerd and I can't do anything if I don't do some research before.
On the other hand I wanted to make good character designs that told things about the characters and stuff, so I had to juggle a bit both things. Plus there's not much variation in clothing styles, so I had to do what I could.
I wanted to use colors, jewelery and styles to group or distinguish the characters. So Láeg and Emer wear a very similar color palette, Cú Chulainn has some blue in his mainly red outfit (and also the under tunic thing resembles Emer's) and Ferdia has some red in his mainly blue one.
Láeg and Cú Chulainn wear the same kind of thing, but I gave Cú Chulainn more layers in reference to the 34683 shirts thing. I went no pants wider belt for Ferdia bc honestly I didn't know how else to make a clear distinction as "this one character is from a different place", there's only so much you can do with the few styles there are.
Jewelery choices! This was a lot bc I really like torcs and I wanted to use them again to give Ulster characters and Connacht characters different kinds of torcs. My first instinct was to give Connacht those very heavy ones that have rings at the ends, but then I did some research and those were only found in england so. Then I went to look what kind of torcs were found in each place and I found that they were the same!!! Obviously!!! Bc they are next to eachother!!!
So I took creative choices and as I found some bracelets in Ulster that looked like torcs I went okay those done (plus they are way easier to draw) And I gave Ferdia the spirally one and Cú Chulainn the "bracelet" one. Plus gave a matching bracelet to Láeg. Emer wears a lunula bc her father is described as wearing one in The Hound of Ulster and I liked it.
(some pics for reference: from left to right the torc Ferdia wears, the bracelet Láeg wears and from were I based Cú Chulainn's torc, and the lunula Emer wears)
Also important, the headpiece Láeg wears. I used to draw Cú Chulainn with a similar one just because I liked it, but then after reading I liked that Láeg is the only one wearing it. At first I was going to give Emer a similar one but in the end decided against it to make it exclusive to Láeg and to not give her more jewelery than to Ferdia. I wanted Ferdia to wear a lot and be like, more stylish I guess bc I feel he cares about that stuff (I mean part of the bribe to fight Cú Chulainn was a brooch so)
And I think that's it! Sorry it was a lot hfasjkd but I wanted to share it. If there's something I have missed and you're curious to know about feel free to ask! I might have a long ass answer like this or it might be just because XD And if you have comments or opinions they are also welcome! I'm no expert or anything (just a big nerd) so I apreciate any insight.
And if you've gotten this far thank you for reading my yapping <3
This is wonderful. I am working on a project right now about a group of immortal people, slightly inspired by the Tuatha Dé Danann; it is so hard to find good references for Irish Celtic clothes (it is probably not going to matter too much because I want my story to take place in modern-day). However, I want an develop an idea about how they might have dressed to allude to the distant past, etc. These are beautiful designs, totally inspirational; I love the color choices. It is just so interesting to see artistic interpretations of ancient clothes. Amazing!
