The Scrimbus Tower @scrimbusposting - Tumblr Blog

A New Paradigm

Hello everyone!

So I never actually left Tumblr, but I did kind of stop posting for a long while there. After certain events involving a Bluesky developer throwing his phone in the pool to cool it down, I realized I should probably put my eggs in more baskets, so I'm kinda? coming back.

However.

Something I think I messed up back in the day was that my "main blog" was used for posting art and really only posting art, and then I had a "side blog" where I would share stuff from my friends and other users.

In hindsight I feel like that was a mistake; it makes more sense for me to have a curated art feed separate from where I can yell about video games or share funny stories or whatever.

So this blog (formerly ScBingham) is an all-purpose "stuff I like" blog now. I will still share my art here, but also, like, Final Fantasy or video game stuff.

If you want to see my art on Tumblr going forward please head on over to @scrimbus-art, the primary place I will be posting my works going forward.

aymeric has got to be the funniest character ever. notable pretty boy. serious and stern in appearance. has clawed and scraped his way up ishgardian society to gain the power needed to enact reform. has immense political connections. an expert in diplomacy and manners. attends formal events on the regular since it is required of him. a skilled dancer who is the talk of noble women. is voted in as lord speaker and is in charge of the temple knights. is by all means the ultimate catch who could have anyone he wants.

and yet! he does not like doing Any of this!!! he is still single in his 30s. he wants to quit his job and see the world, but won’t because he feels morally obligated to stay. despite having his pick of anyone in ishgard, he becomes enamored with the adventurer who not only arrives in ishgard as a fugitive, but immediately gets in trouble with the heaven’s ward and crashes into ishgard on the back of a dragon more than once.

he is the cause of awkward silence at alliance meetings on more than one occasion due to how passionate he gets, and he fumbles around when asking wol to dinner and can’t keep his emotions in check around them.

his adoptive parents (who were by all accounts a nice elderly couple) have passed on and the only family he has left is his birth father who mocks him for his idealism and does not love him; he is visibly ruffled when this is used against him in a debate. he loves sweets and gets excited about the starlight celebration and volunteers to hand out gifts to children. he has a dodo omelette recipe he uses to convince lucia, the literal garlean spy he spared, about the joys of cooking. this does not work.

he walks around on guard duty in a neon blue elephant suit for reasons we can only speculate about. what the fuck is wrong with this guy (affectionate).

Ranking each of Frog's glams by how egregiously out of place the Señor Otter backpack is: 9.5/10 but the .5 is taken off for how charming it is to stash your gunblade in a cute otter backpack before taking it out to wreak havoc.

elizabethrobertajones

hilariously 10/10 because PLD Señor Otter Is God

CLEFT IN TWAIN 10/10 NIGHTMARE OTTER MOMENT

also everyone clap, I finally got the full Clyteum glam set :') Now I need to find something else to grind...

elizabethrobertajones

Her MP3 player and waterbottle are in there and she's walking to the [regionally affectionate city public transport] on her way to work being the approachable bartender. 0/10.

elizabethrobertajones

I don't think this train is coming... 8/10 the colour scheme weirdly works exactly despite the aesthetic mismatch

elizabethrobertajones

I can't do this. I'm not strong enough. -10/10

elizabethrobertajones

9/10 this otter is helpless to the acrobatics but you have to admit it matches the hat and coat...

elizabethrobertajones

I love this glam from cosmic exploration (which could really be used for just about any job but specifically MCH because of the battery gauge on the arm. But I am now legally a reaper main) because look:

is that not perfect??? 0/10 but like. My heart is bursting.

Phineas Gage-ing him :( 3/10

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.
