[rizaposting]

Hey, I'm Kim, or Crystal (whichever you prefer). She/Her. I'm a hobbyist artist and writer, and this blog is an abomination space for my insane Riza-thoughts and works. Here is my About page, and here's where you can see just my art and writing.

You can also find me:

On Twitter- CasualCrystals (personal ramblings) and CrystalCapsids (my art account). If I post art watermarked with "CrystalCapsids", that's why :]

On AO3- as CrystalContagonist

Couldn’t resist painting this iconic image from Levi’s dream sequence, there’s just so much stuff tucked away in this scene, from the detail of Azi’s expression to the way the flora of Vesta is beginning to eclipse Levi’s view of her. Such a luminous and beautifully done scene

~Something in your eyes makes me realize

How strange it seems

Something in your smile could be up on trial

For broken dreams

You're counting all your sheep in disguise

Caught up in a world

Of lies

Everyone knows it

You've got

Ulterior motives

Tell me the truth-!~

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple

the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!

If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.

sometimes i wonder if we have forgotten that sharing creative work is, fundamentally, a bid for human connection. like I'm not posting art or fic for 'engagement' i'm posting it looking for other sickos to play with! i'd be making it anyway for my own gratification because there's something wrong with me, i'm sharing it hoping we can have something wrong with us together <3

Normal groceries like milk or bread or whatever running out is whatever. Just anotha day. But when stuff like salt or cooking oil or rice runs out it feels like You’re supposed to be here for me and you’re leaving. You’re just like everyone else

You are an unreliable narrator because your coping mechanisms for your deep-seated trauma forbid you from acknowledging the reality of the situation. I am an unreliable narrator because I sincerely have no idea what the fuck is going on.
