Blupjeans Week Day 7: Bluejeans

Final drawing for the week!! Lup is making a fashion statement in her new jean jacket and jorts. Also maybe they influence each other’s style. Barry can become more goth because of Lup and she can wear more denim because of him lol.

@blupjeansweek (thank you for hosting this, it’s been a lot of fun!!)

Blupjeans Week Day 3: Light

Wanted to do something with more intense lighting for today’s prompt, because lighting is my favorite thing to draw! Here’s Barry and Lup harnessing the light of creation together.

Barry also looks younger here because I feel like it would make sense if how he looks when the main story is set is a bit older than how he looked in the stolen century, when his age was stagnant for 100 years. But Lup looks pretty much the same because elves age slower than humans

Blupjeans Week Day 2: Death

I wanted to do more drawings for blupjeans week but the art block hit me, so I’ll only have a few to share. But I thought this was a cute idea! A significantly less angsty take on the “death” prompt than what I could have done lol. Who said grim reapers can’t be cutesy and romantic??

TAZ GN preorder bonus question

hi! this is my first time preordering a taz GN. When I saw the form released for the preorder bonuses, I was so excited that I filled it out immediately... while I was on vacation with incredibly spotty internet.

I didn't receive any confirmation email that my preorder receipt was processed, and since this is my first time ever doing it, I genuinely don't know if that's normal or if it didn't submit properly. If anybody else has successfully submitted a preorder receipt in the past, please let me know what the usual protocol is. I really want to get the preorder bonuses, but I don't want to double submit or break any rules. Thanks for the help!

ID: Digital drawing of Lup and Barry in the style of a tarot card. They are seen in profile, embracing and grinning; Barry presses his face ot Lup's neck and holds her hips, and Lup has a hand in Barry's hair. She raises her head as she does so. Behind them are their lich forms which are two skeletons in red robes; above them there is text that says "The Lovers." At the bottom it says "VI." The image has a silver, gold, and red border, with skull decals. End ID.

I saw seven miis birds

The miis and outfits are loosely based off of @careydraws designs for the Taz graphic novel (w modifications due to limitations for miis)

this pic is over exposed thanks to Nintendo not letting screenshots be shared directly so some of the facepaint is not visible like magnus' scar

relistening to Taz and I'm really enjoying listening to each arc and relating it to the relevant bird.

like yeah here there be gerblins is about lup it's about you should have thought about that before throwing my dog in the fire, it's about falling in love with Barry Bluejeans, it's about trying to save so many people but failing, it's desperate odds and flying away from a disaster you couldn't avert, it's about being bitten in the back by an earlier decision to trust someone.

murder on the Rockport Limited is about Dav. It's about seeing the truth behind the illusion. it's about a town of people all with the same face. it's about losing the driver and trying to save the vehicle without him. it's about the youngest member of the crew holding a book that catches the truth and stops it reaching its destination. it's about beheading and loss of identity. It's about remembering to get your roommate pringles

petals to the metal is about Merle. It's about don't be chopping on these sweet sweet babies. it's about reaching out to someone you love who has been consumed by a power they can't fully control. it's about dying in the hope they can be saved. it's about racing as fast as you can, with all that you have, in the hope that something can be saved in the end.

crystal kingdom is about taako. it's about loving someone you've lost so much you'd turn the world to crystal to try and save them. it's about Kravitz. its about learning more from thousands of realities to make new and wonderful things. its about walking through your legacy. its about the best sandwich and taako's good out here. its about seven birds being seen, its about the thousands of lives that Boyland touched

the eleventh hour is about Magnus. It's about rustic hospitality. it's about recklessly breaking reality trying to protect people you love. it's about fate and choices you make in life. it is being a small town hero. it is making promises and keeping them. it's about the downfall of a corrupt leader and the people he took down on his way. it's about fallen temples and burnt out buildings. it's about embracing the inevitable and holding the hand of the clock that strikes your doom as the weapon that will save you

the suffering game is about Barry. It's about looping through endless pain again and again in the hopes of reaching a dream. it's about liches and death and love. it's about losing your body and being saved from permanent death by the power of your friends' love. it's about working out how things are working and then pulling them apart to understand them. it's about choosing to lose everything in the hopes that it might let you save something. arms outstretched. trust Barry, love Barry

the stolen century is about Lucretia. it's one hundred years of journals. It's learning world after world and watching them die. It's working to protect those you love by saving the light. It's about running away again and again, and loving only in goodbyes. it's about being alone and dying again and again. It's about bonds growing stronger even as something comes relentlessly to consume them

story and song is about the starblaster flying into, not away from the storm. it's about hear that babe, we're legends. it's about bringing together all the arcs and all the relics into one hope to undo mistakes. it's about the magic in a bardsong. it's about the light of creation being used as a barrier against darkness.

hot linguistic take on Taako’s speech

I started looking into this after reading several fics featuring Taako where his speaking voice was…kind of jarring to me? Mainly in the usage of vocatives. Taako uses vocatives (my dude, homie, darling etc) but he uses them in particular ways, and they’re often very overused when people write dialogue for Taako. 

Anyway, as I started researching this, it felt a little…mean-spirited? so I stopped lol. but the more I thought about it, the more I was interested in these particular quirks of Taako’s speech and how they add to his character. A bunch of you seemed interested in it too. So here I present the essay nobody asked for but some wanted after I mentioned it: Hot Linguistic Take on Taako’s Speech! Under a readmore cuz it got LONG, y’all. Buckle up.
