The artworks of the Moon made during Artemis II were so beautiful, I just had to join too!!
I was able to see Pollux and Castor (the brightest stars of Gemini) last night!!
I CAUGHT THE MOON FOR THE FIRST TIME
(I couldn't photograph it properly)
My phone somewhat broke a couple weeks ago but I got these photos of the Moon and Orion as of late! I'm planning to watch the Total Lunar Eclipse on March 3; I really have to start practicing using my telescope...
Whoops I disappeared for a second there my bad
But I got into Ride The Cyclone!! Yaaayyy!!
Since I got a new sketchbook during my trip I decided to draw Ocean. I honestly found myself enjoying drawing again for the first time in a while even though some of these look imperfect.
Not my main ship but I decided the tag deserves more love. So here have a silly CyPhai/NeikoPhilia edit.
Alternatively to remind myself to stop procrastinating :
If you think about it, Trailblazer and Cyrene really have a deep bond that we don't really talk about.
It's not just because Cyrene is directly connected to their existence either, it's the fact that they've been through thick and thin together in the last cycle of Amphoreus, with Mem writing Amphoreus's memories and standing by Trailblazer's side even in battle. Even at their lowest moments, they were there for each other when Dan Heng couldn't be there with Trailblazer. Even at the end of the world, they continued to fight together. Even in the next cycle, Cyrene upheld the promise she made to us: that she'll keep holding back Lygus until we return. She has so much trust in us as much as she does with Phainon. Not just because we're the next Deliverer, but because she has already seen our capabilities. She knows that we'll keep breaking the rules if we don't agree to it, just as Phainon does, and she knows fully well they can handle anything that comes their way, even if Lygus pulls the most devious scheme to hinder their progress.
Trailblazer having knowledge of the struggles Cyrene herself had to face with dying over and over and over again for the sake of preventing the universe from falling into Destruction strengthens their bond too. After all, they know the pain of death and coming back from it as well. While Trailblazer may feel a bit unfamiliar with Cyrene at first, I won't deny that they can understand how it feels to be burdened with fate's problems. Yet despite that, they both continue to pursue their dreams within Amphoreus and the cosmos, refusing to stop their journey all for what they fight for.
The relationship is a mix of Cyrene's unconditional love and hope, and Trailblazer's unwavering determination and resolve. They're both beings that fight for all that is beautiful in the world, even if it doesn't deserve it, and I think that's what makes them so special. Even if Trailblazer isn't as close with Cyrene as Phainon is, they still share the same qualities. That's why they synergize so well together even after Mem becomes Cyrene.
Trailblazer doesn't just share qualities with Phainon, we know that already. But I feel like some people keep undermining just how close Cyrene and Trailblazer really are. I get that it's because both Trailblazer and Phainon are the Deliverer, but we can't ignore the bonds they forged with other Chrysos Heirs. (Although, Cyrene is pretty lackluster in that department as of now. I hope we get to see more of how she interacts with the heirs in the future...)
As long as Trailblazer and Cyrene keep fighting side by side, Amphoreus will continue to fight with their determination. After all, they both have people they care for, which includes each other. They'll keep fighting for them, no matter what it takes.
--
This scene really touched me to the core and it really made me appreciate Cyrene even more! As much as I primarily love Cyrene and Phainon's bond, I can't deny how fun and adorable it is to see Cyrene interact with the Trailblazer and how connected they are.
I also tried to avoid spoilers to the best of my ability for the few who haven't played the story quest yet. I hope you guys enjoyed reading!
"Oh wow... Angels have pink hair."
So you all know how Cyrene and Khaslana are supposed to be Love/Philia and Strife or Hate/Neikos, right?
Correct me if this could possibly contradict canon, but a silly idea I just had...
What if, since Phainon's nature is to hate, he was originally supposed to walk down that path ever since childhood?
If Cyrene hadn't come in, Phainon would have never understood why the world should be worth saving. How could he if most of the time, he hears that Aedes Elysiae is safer than most places since the outside world is full of bad people and war? He has no reason to be there for them.
Perhaps if Phainon even reflected more as he got older, his hatred would have spread to his perception of Aedes Elysiae. After all, they know about his prophesized fate as the Deliverer in some way. Perhaps it could have influenced him in a way that would have fueled his hatred. (This may be an unlikely scenario, but it's still a wonder to think about nonetheless.)
But here's the thing: Cyrene was there. In his world full of Hate, Love came to show him that just because the world may be bad doesn't mean there is something that isn't worth fighting for. Even if it's just for one person, there's a reason for the world to keep living. There's a reason for Phainon to come to their aid. There's a reason for him to keep loving the world.
With Cyrene, Phainon learned how to love and use it to not only make sure Amphoreus no longer suffers, but also to make sure the universe doesn't face Irontomb's wrath.
That might just be me though SORRY I JUST NEEDED TO RAMBLE ABOUT WHAT MY BRAIN CAME UP WITH HAVE OFFICIAL ART OF THE SILLIES
3.6 and 3.7 are going to kill my stellar jade savings how am I supposed to pull for Evernight and Cyrene when I also want Mydei and Hyacine on their reruns
Not to mention how I couldn't get Phainon's lightcone either...
SHE'S REAL???? SHE'S HERE?????? SHE'S HER?????? CYRENE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL OMG???????
Professor Anaxa once claimed he was “Cursed by Romance.”
It was a statement Phainon once took in stride. Uniqueness is a virtue, after all. There’s nothing wrong with being different, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with having the wrong taste in fashion.
What does feel wrong, though, is the emptiness he feels beside him.
Back when his hometown still existed, they were inseparable; never leaving each other’s side, even when everyone else was long gone and it was just them against the world.
The truth was something incomprehensible, Phainon could hardly believe it himself. But Cyrene, ever the intelligent woman, came up with a plan for both of them to fight against their predetermined fate. Now look where that plan ended them up in.
He wasn’t used to this, he wasn’t used to the silence, to the lack of teasing from that playful voice, to the lack of her voice carrying the air like a melody of the wind, to the lack of listening to her convictions of bringing a new dawn to Amphoreus as he fondly smiled at her once more.
Every step he took felt weighed down without her encouragement. It was like a chain trying to hold him down from fulfilling their promise, but he perseveres. He has to, it’s what she would have wanted and he would never break a promise, especially not hers.
As her blood spills once more on the wheat of the fields, he put away Dawnbreaker, wishing he could cry once more as he silently cradled her in his arms.
Even if it was because of his hideous fashion choices, Khaslana couldn’t help but think Professor Anaxa was right when he said he was cursed by Romance.
I haven't been able to get my mind off of them in three weeks, so have a MiziSua redraw of them
