[miscielross]

me second-guessing answers for a final exam i failed to study for

(i promised to help mom with the laundry. didnt expect it to be 3-day full affair. I really wish weekends were 3 days because it's just not possible with only Saturday and Sunday. Saturday always counts as a school/work day since forever.)

i attempt a wordplay.

Transcript: hai~ sensei, jugyou no netto wo suru, arigatou gozaimasu. kyonen kara, kanji wa kowaisou mimashita. ima, watashi ga kaiteki kanjirareru you ni narimasu. mendokusai no ni, watashi wo benkyousuru ganbarimasu! Translation: hai~ sensei, Thank you for the online classes. Last year, kanji was scary to look at. Now, I can feel comfortable [looking at kanji]. Even if [kanji is] difficult, I will do my best to study!

Soaring High for the long awaited return of the Spring season!

It's very Mozart Turkish March!

[miscielross]

Here's the elusive Polka: Like A Bird. The dance was a paid exclusive from a special event, I recall...?

The beatmap of the song is more evil than usual because it's out of sync.

[miscielross]

oough... 👀👀👀 i finally know how to begin the main story of the crossover comic if I'm not limiting myself to the 4koma format!

[miscielross]

Notes: - This is Ewan Ward before Between Worlds season. He should still be a restless paranoid wreck at this point. I don't know how much I can have him involved in the story, but this event should help ramp up his paranoia and animosity against Harry until the Mentorship Program with MC. - Greengrass is a reference to Gareth Greengrass, the Head Unspeakable until 2019 from NIANTIC's Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. I try not to involve him in the story much because he's the MC's mentor of sorts in that game.

From this point on, it's Alternate Universe territory to serve my Crossover plot. I took a while to name the new characters I made up and what their roles would be. My biggest problem is I haven't designed what the Erelim look like yet.

I'm making stuff up about the Department of Mysteries because I still wanted the planned and indefinitely shelved TV show about it..... orz

[miscielross]

I wonder if Harry is any good at Transfiguration? From what I can pick out from NPC chatter, his specialties as an auror is covert ops.

[miscielross]

supposed to be a quick doodle but spent 12 hours instead!

I've always wanted to draw him on the headless hunt horse!

[miscielross]

INTRANSITIVE VERBS!!!

ireru (to enter)... a person is entering ..... hairu (containing)... shrimp is in the rice...... AND THEY USE THE SAME KANJI

context and the subject is important

[miscielross]

The first ever trio dance: Lila del Sol ft. Ivy as the mandatory dance partner! I really would like another trio dance! Maybe with guest characters!

(it took a while for the patch that fixed Replay Mode and optimized the game in general (because the overworld is so overloaded with animal character models + chinese new year celebration. its a whole list!))

This dance first launched in a Christmas event in the CN server where the Dance Challenge is set on the surface of a Black Lake!

I want to draw a comic to complain about the summer heat :(

but it's so hot that my asus laptop gives up wifi connectivity (as asus laptops do) the moment i boot up photoshop

Let's write it down like a Gastronomy Career Research Entry!

AVERNUS PUMPKIN SOUP Main Ingredients:

Paprika Pumpkin, stewed

Clearwater Fish, grilled

Goat Cheese (Dragon Milk Cheese is fine!)

Condiments:

Buttermilk Cream

Hearthspice

Description: A warm, sweet and savory pumpkin soup recalled from Eskandor Bracket’s memory as a former sorcerer-priest from an ancient crusading order.

Entry I. We had a folk belief that pumpkins left outside overnight would become vampires. I took the superstition to heart with such ferocity that I would scout the city of Avernus at night and 'imprisoned' every produce I found to the cathedral's holy ground to make sure no vampires would be born from a moment of negligence. It's all so ridiculous now...

Entry II. Each one of the brotherhood contributed an ingredient to the soup pot.

One of my brothers only ate fish as part of his vows of abstinence (he believed eating animals with legs tainted his magical energy). I remember I was responsible for bringing the pumpkin because I was the youngest. Though looking back, I think the brotherhood knew that the superstition had no ground but wanted to indulge my rookish desire to purify a vampire of my own anyway.

Entry III. We would launch the most intense campaigns during winter, where we believed the vampires were at their weakest. The stew was to be cooked and kept in a low fire so by the time we returned to camp, it would be ready. To think Pumpkin Soup would be my last meal that day…

Entry IV. One warm meal was enough to affirm our hope that the hardship of the past was worth enduring for the future we will never see. "What became of Lord Malek and the brotherhood?", is a question Eskandor would rather answer with his silence.

only thing I drew (and wrote) for the past 13 days while on a cruise ship.

I'm getting used to drawing Professor Dromgoole and Bracket's vampire form but not yet his clothes because I haven't gotten around to designing it properly. I've decided he's going to wear the late Mr. Dromgoole's clothes because she decided to loan it to him out of impulse, haha.

(I'm going to play up the mentioned rumors of her being a druidess (which she denies) from canon and the consistent lunar imagery the game keeps assigning her but never exposits. I'll also make use of her parents' mysterious deaths (mother was killed by Voldemort when she was 5 y/o, father killed a week before clodagh began her schooling in hogwarts) just for this story.)

Here's Magical Melodies which sounds like a World-African style track.

I think Mahoutokoro's the only school left where we dont have an idea what their flavor of dance music would be?

[miscielross]

...Avoidant behavior.

I didnt lose interest with this story! I was just busy with Nihongo class. And I have been stuck since November (classes started there) so I needed a little push forward again by drawing a short comic.

I want to set up the Angel of Mystery intrigue points first before returning to the fluff filler.

I'll set up a proper tag for this series soon so everyone can blacklist it.
