Heu guys I've just recently finished my 12 Month Zodiac Wallpaper Challenge
This marked the start of my Tumblr journey actually. All the way back in late March 2025. I have been doing this wallpaper challenge since 2024 but that was in Facebook with Greek Gods. These 12 months I've learned new art techniques and I get to see how much my art has evolved. That's the joy with timely projects like these. I get to look back to where I started, and then see how far I've gone
I will actually be starting a new wallpaper challenge on June as well so stay tuned for that ^^
Unrelated Note:
Since this is now my pinned post, Iād just like to put a link to my previous pinned post regarding the people of Gaza
š¬ 0Ā Ā š 0Ā Ā ā¤ļø 0Ā Ā·Ā People need your help!Ā Ā·Ā Hi guys, Iāve been getting a lot of free Palestine posts recently and I canāt put them all here š¢
Many people are still in need of help and I wonāt remove this until the war is done and the people are safe and at the very least back to their prior lives
Cosplayed Polites watching the Odyssey movie today yaaaaaaaaa
Honest opinion on the Odyssey: itās so peak. Eurylochus is my favorite character now
It was a really cool take on Homerās epic. Itās a dark and serious movie and I always knew it was gon be good just not THIS good. The scenes were beautifully shot, the acting was phenomenal (especially Antinous), and the overall story was written with fire. The scare factor was well done, body horror, displaying genuine fear, and making it feel like theyāre actually in danger instead of smth they couldāve easily avoided (mostly but that scene was intentional)
The ending was perfect. The final battle, build up, emotions, and throwbacks makes it really feel like Odysseus has finally reached his goal after going through that journey. I can say the same for the intro too. It was small and a bit vague to give some context, and then it all clicks and connects sooner into the movie
Also Teleholand funny Iām putting his catchphrase in Tomodachi Life if Odysseus and Penelope decide to have a child lmao
āYou have wise eyes⦠Athenaās eyesā
MILD SPOILERS BELOW (only for people who know the basic storyline)
Eurylochus death was a bit sad imo. I was mentally screaming āEURYLOCHUUUUUUSSSSSSā when he died. Unlike in the book where heās a bit mutinous and often butts heads with Ody, heās actually a very chill and reasonable guy here, still questions him, but in a less violent manner
Also if youāre looking for the iconic āMy name is Nobody. Nobodyā itās not here so heads up if youāre looking forward to that
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I reported your account when I meant to report someone else. It was a mistake, and I hope it didnāt cause any problems. If you want to see the ticket Tumblr sent me, let me know I canāt message you directly for some reason.
Please tell me you arenāt a bot Iām getting tired of ts
Edit: fucking knew you were a bot I am actually starting to get tired of this
Hey guys for Jurassic July (Iām late for Jurassic June sorry) Iām gonna start another 12 month wallpaper challenge!
Eras of Life Part 1: Hallucigenia sparsa (Cambrian Period)
Hallucigenia was a lobopod named for its dreamy appearance. When it was first discovered, we didnāt know which way was which, so we constructed it with stilt legs and a long tail. We now know that the stilts were actually spines and its āheadā was actually decaying matter squeezed out of its butt when it died
Other featured animals: Anomalocaris canadensis, Omnidens amplus
Also spoilers for Monsterverse Declassified (majorish) and Kong: Survivor Instinct (minor)
Lahamu is Tiamatās daughter, who first (and currently only) appeared on the game Kong: Survivor Instinct. Itās not known how Tiamat got her offspring
Despite being a member of Tiamatās species, she looks vastly different from her mother, even more so since Tiamat herself evolved to have a different appearance by absorbing other creatureās dna
The other creature being none other than Asterias Abzu (or just Abzu), a giant starfish with a gaping mouth, 3 toothy tongues, green suction cups in place of tube feet, armored plates with pink crystal like spots scattered throughout, and a pink corrosive liquid
When Tiamat absorbed this titanās dna, she grew 4 legs, lost her tail fluke, and had vastly different fins on her back, having her adopt a pink color scheme instead of blue
Where does this take us? Abzu may be Lahamuās father. Letās start with overall appearance
She has many attributes that can be associated with Abzu that Tiamat, evolved or not, doesnāt possess:
Multiple tongues
2 Legs
Big mouth without beak like tip
In the mythological perspective, Abzu is the name of Tiamatās husband and fathered many kids including Lahamu. Knowing Monarch, they tend to name their kaiju on myths. They do not have to be 100% myth accurate and have the slightest correlation, such as Scylla having 6 legs instead of 6 heads and Abaddon still having an evil bug army except theyāre spiders instead of a locusts
Instead of being a loving couple, Tiamat and Abzu had a fight to the death and I believe that absorbing his dna may have lead to one of the these things:
Got pregnant and had Lahamu halfway through her transformation
Already was pregnant (likely through parthenogenesis) that also absorbed Abzuās dna
Anyways thatās all just a theory lmk what yall think
Also hereās my older theory on Mothra and Abaddon: https://www.tumblr.com/shellvine/780962550196109312/monsterverse-mothra-solo-film-idea
UPDATE: it has just come to my attention that Lahamu is probably bio engineered instead due to a new book so this theory may be invalid now
š¬ 0Ā Ā š 0Ā Ā ā¤ļø 2Ā Ā·Ā MONSTERVERSE MOTHRA SOLO FILM IDEA!Ā Ā·Ā (SPOILERS FOR GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS, KONG SURVIVOR INSTINCT, AND MONSTERVERSE
I watched Iron Lung again tonight in the comfort of my home and my dog must've been watching with me cause as soon as bad things started happening to Simon she started crying. In the scene where he ultimately dies she could not stop crying at me. I am now watching him play the Henry Stickman collection so she can see that A.) He's not dead and B.) He's not in distress. Occasionally he'll whine or hum in discontent about something and my dog will look at me and whine to try and get me to fix whatever is distressing Markiplier.
Normally Iād end art challenges with a reflection of my journey but by god the amount of stuff happening behind the scenes š
I still enjoyed Kaijune donāt worry (my fav is either Mirko, Tsuyu, or Bakugo) but the month of June as a whole was bad timing because all the inconveniences decided to show up now instead of the previous months so yea
Also this was supposed to be digital but I decided traditional would be better cuz I kinda wanna take a break from digital art before I can start animating and drawing there again (the animatic I have in progress is gon be peak trust)
