trick of the light

[lavenderwhtever]

the reason c!aimsey is so special to so many after so much time is 100% because of their kindness and humility despite their trauma. there are a million tragic, angsty characters. c!aimsey, however, easily acts as a self insert and as a role model. people want to perceive themselves as kind, but often, media focuses on tragic characters letting themselves become miserable and hardened with their trauma as a shield.

c!aimsey doesn’t let their trauma define their future and chooses to move on and keep kindness at the root of all their actions, and they got a happy ending because of that. c!aimsey shows traumatized individuals that there is hope and light ahead.

thinking abt cc!sunshipduo gay roleplaying 3 (4?) separate characters before announcing that they were together... damn. gay roleplaying at least twice before they were together at all... damn.

erghh technically i JUST made my mushy gushy post about ausmp but GUESS WHAT I have THIS FAN ART that i’ve been working on since MAY 2023 and that’s an awesome excuse to gush a bit more!!

This is the last fanart i’ll post here, and the last piece of art i’ll EVER sign as Lavender. how crazy is that??

aaand here’s the original sketch (which might actually be from february 2023??)

I decided not to add the tulips because. man i think we’re over this.

I said this on twitter but this art was made for over a year!! on and off again, a little work at a time. kind of like area unknown itself.

I’ve loved area unknown from the very very start. I’ve loved these characters since before they were ACTUAL characters. I have 58k aimsey channel points and i live 6 hours behind him. I’ve skipped too much school to catch these streams on time. I’ve zoned out of sooo many math lessons to draw these characters instead. i think 90% of my ibis x paint gallery is just au!guqqie.

I stopped keeping up with the lore about this time last year. Life got busy, yk? And i’d grown up! Area unknown started 2 years ago. I was 14 then. I’m 16 now. I have my driver’s license. I’ve had a job. I have a bank account??? And I’m working on a college essay RIGHT NOW. I really, really feel like i’ve grown up with this server.

I would not be the same person without this server. I wouldn’t be the same artist without it. I wouldn’t be the same writer without it. I wouldn’t be the same.

I won’t watch all of the perspectives this time. I’ll probably never go on twitch again. But if anyone asks, I will gladly give anyone a long, detailed summary of sunshipduo’s entire lore. I’ll probably still draw their characters in my notebooks when i’m bored. I’ll still think of them when certain songs come on. Theoretically, my journey with them is over, but if you look closer, their words line the corners of my heart.

Thanks guys. 🌼🌷💙🧡

these characters have seen so much of me. I wouldn’t be the same as an artist or as a person without them. I didn’t actually watch the entire stream (lol 💀) but I think this is my last link to childhood? and it’s gone now. Like minecraft roleplay and aimsey especially are things that meant a lot to me as a kid (it’s really been that long!) but it doesn’t hold that same weight anymore. and i think i’m finally brave enough to put them down.

here’s old fanart. x

happy death day guqqie 💔

[lavenderwhtever]

The thing about au!sunshipduo being the only happy variant is how incredibly hopeless they seem. Them loving each other and living through it should be literally impossible.

Aimsey is a demon from literal hell. They are mean, they are stubborn, and come from a very different background from Guqqie, who is kind and considerate. That's all they have been told about each other throughout the server. Countless people coming to Guqqie and telling them that Aimsey is bad news. Scott coming to Aimsey and trying to tear them away.

Aimsey has not had an easy life. They've never been shown love. They, again, come from literal hell. He had only read of love only a short time ago. How do they even know what love is? Well, xey don't, not really. It isn't easy for him to love, and it isn't easy to love him. But he's trying so hard when it would be easier, and safer, to just give up. But he isn't.

Guqqie has seen hundreds of other versions of themself get abandoned, forgotten, and even killed. She's had first hand encounters with the results of a relationship between her and aimsey. She KNOWS the risks. She isn't going in blind at all. And despite what they've seen, despite the threats and the incidents, she keeps loving this demon, even if they're cursed and doomed by each and every universe.

Aimsey and Guqqie know the odds are against them. They know that they've been given an awful hand. They know that their chances are barely better than zero. And they keep fighting! They've decided that they love each other enough that nothing else matters. They aren't hoping for a perfect relationship. They know this can't end well for them. But they love each other, so much, regardless. They aren't letting go.

pov the love of your life just made the absolute most stupid joke ever

i go the entire winter saying how much better the night is and how winter is superior but then spring comes along, i spend time in the sunlight and my entire mood suddenly changes and i realise there’s nothing better than cosplaying a sunflower and following the sun

[bitethetablet]

it’ll be okay
