Like, this really shouldn't work? But now it's an Armand song? I can't make it not be! )

Also, a fun game some yt channels play is picking a deck for each of the characters in a show they love, and to me Mio Im's Tarot screams Armand. It's got something to do with the sparse nature of it, the limited bone/dust gray palette, obviously all the bones hehe.

Snowflake Challenge: A warmly light quaint street of shops at night with heavy snow falling.

Challenge #11

In your own space, grant someone's wish from Challenge #5. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your own post with the wishes you granted if you feel comfortable doing so.


I went through the wishlists and mostly gave recs, music for snowynight and kanadka, books for skytintedwater, podcasts for queer-scribbling, and a movie for cypresssunn.

In somebody else's story.

+ I'm so behind on Snowflake Challenge, and don't really have time to put in the effort I'd like or see all the cool entries. Boo work. If the Make A Challenge rolls around again, I've come up with a low effort entry; the big one will have to wait until next year.

+ Last night's dreams were a wild mess, featuring: a matrilineal sex cult, a documentary about comedians working on a SNL clone that got big after the show (with commentary), a musical number about period poops to the tune of I wanna dance with somebody. Not featured: me.

I haven't had the time or energy to read or watch anything this trip, I think my brain is lodging a complaint?

+ [community profile] halfamoon is a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom, and they're looking for volunteers to sign up for a calendar day (not a theme day) and read/view/appreciate the contributions for that day.

+ (saved for myself to look over later) European alternatives for popular services.

+ Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills (inc HHS and Ed).

+ Anti-Aging Injection Regrows Knee Cartilage and Prevents Arthritis.
In the study, the injectable treatment not only rebuilt cartilage but also stopped arthritis from developing after knee injuries similar to ACL tears, which are common among athletes and active adults. A pill-based version of the same therapy is already being tested in clinical trials aimed at treating muscle weakness associated with aging.

+ X-Files Reboot: Ryan Coogler Shares Exciting Plot Update.
“It wouldn’t be X-Files if we didn’t do both,” Coogler said about the show’s format. “We intend on having both monsters of the week and also the overarching conspiracy.”

If this man brings us back monster of the week shenanigans? PRAISE BE.

Challenge #10: Big Mood (Board)

CHOOSE SOMETHING YOU LOVE AND CREATE A MINI MOOD COLLECTION OF THREE (or more) ITEMS THAT EVOKE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT IT. You don’t have to limit yourself to visual media, or collect the items into a special format like a square (though you can if you’d like).

So yesterday while doing some editing on Fanlore I found out what a colorbar was and I thought they were kind of neat. So for today's Snowflake Challenge I'm twenty years too late for a trend and made a colorbar for Holmes/Watson:



And yes I do realize one pic is of Basil/Dawson, but they are the mouse equivalent for Holmes/Watson, and I love them.

Personalised bingo card offer

Hello, I am still recovering, etc. Quite nicely as these things go, but still not up to doing all my usual little things.

Anyway, thought of something fannish and fun I could do if anyone wanted it - I made a personalised bingo card for [personal profile] theseatheseatheopensea once, which was fun, and I do always love doing that kind of thing. So...


... if anyone else would find a custom-made bingo card (for writing/creating prompts) fun/useful/inspiring, comment here and I will have a go at making you one!


(I'll use the Bingo Generator, so it's very easy, and if I fail and include some rubbish prompts, a new card without such prompts can magically be re-generated with no trouble. Will do any size from 2x2 to 5x5.)

So just comment here if you'd like one & say what size card you'd prefer. You can also point me to/away from any fandoms/prompt types etc if you'd like, but no need. (If I'm really stuck for some reason, I'll just ask you for some pointers!)

green and red northern lights

The oddest thing is, usually I take pictures of the Northern Lights and they turn out so disappointing compared to the actual thing I saw; yesterday all I could see were faint white lights, and the colors only came up through my camera. No clue what would cause that. Still, a good time was had oooo'ing and aaahhhh'ing.

Things are happening at full speed this trip lol. I haven't even had time to look at my second batch of orca pictures from yesterday (we've left them behind now).

To the prettiest boy of them all ♡

Rosado with flowy hair and a cute pose

Happy birthday to Rosado from Fire Emblem Engage 🩵

I tried to go directly from sketch to coloring and it's a bit messier than I would have liked, but I realized it's probably just because I keep on zooming in and can see how rough the lines look. At a passing glance (which is usually the case on social media feeds), it looks fine. The ribbon on his top stressed me out the most, ngl. I'm happy with how this turned out in the end!

Wheeeee

Research Fancy: Architecture

I might or might not make this a series about the random things I've been "researching" at one point or another. I'm not sure if researching is the correct term as I'm watching several YouTube videos and reading bits and pieces about it here and there, but it's not necessarily pointed towards anything specific.

Lately, I've looked a lot towards architecture. It's been something that has interested me on and off for a long time. Possibly as far back as when my parents built the house they live in when I was eleven. I remember drawing floor plans while at university and probably at school as well. I certainly remember not having it as an option for a degree because I wasn't good at art and technical drawing was too much like art. What I still do is take pictures of random houses while I'm out and about whether I'm on vacation or just taking a walk.

read more of my architecture ramblings )

All of that makes me want to learn more about architecture. It also feeds into my world building. Well, my "pointless" world building for a fantasy or sci-fi setting for a story and society that is absolutely non-existent. Still, it's fun and that's all that matters and maybe one day I'll figure out the rest of the world building :)

[personal profile] autumninpluto

Why did I start on so many things lol

  • Jan. 19: FE Engage Rosado's birthday
    • Birthday art still not finished (coloring); also contemplating if I actually wanna line it but it's too far gone at this point
  • Jan. 25: Sylvix soulmates AU for Sylvain Angst Weekend
    • I have like. 200 words down. Actually idek where I wanna go with this and how long it'll be? Went into it with zero plan
  • Feb. 8: Blue Lions Big Bang fic final deadline
    • Currently reviewing comments and revising ([personal profile] etherealwill is an amazing beta reader and I love her so much 😭)
    • Currently sitting at 18k words but I expect this to increase to 20k once I am done with the other edits
  • Feb. 12: MHA Asui Tsuyu's birthday
    • Sketch & lineart done; laying down flat colors
  • Feb. 13-15: #ficwip hey, sweetheart
    • Fic 1 (BKDK) finished at around 1.1k words
    • Fic 2 (TDBKDK) wip at around 800+ words atm

I need to lock tf in tomorrow if I wanna post Rosado's art in time... though I always give myself leeway past midnight because I know it's still his birthday on the other side of the world, effectively giving me uhhh 36 hours or something idk I guessed the number.

I love him but there's something about drawing him that makes me give up halfway through LMAO this is the second time I've drawn him and lost steam, but I really really wanna draw my baby.

I also have some commitments irl so I might not be able to write or draw on some days... I'm past my GYWO goal for January though, which is good. I've been so talkative this month.
