Never really participated in tag games, but there's a first for everything! Here are my responses:

Last Song: This specific cover of Absolute Zero, Wind Breaker's OP. (To @mia-does-nonsense, if you ever do consider watching it, Mash, Abel, and Carpaccio's VA's play characters in the anime ;D)

Favourite Colors: GREEN. (#aefe14) BLUE. (#00004f) YELLOW. (#FFc000) In that order.

Currently Watching: Juggling between Wind Breaker, Sk8, and Vanitas no Carte. + Rewatching Mashle S2 but dubbed.

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: Savoury, especially salty things above all else.

Current Obsession: I still love Mashle to bits! Crossing my fingers for a S3 announcement soon. (I would say art, but that's something I'll never get tired of.)

Last Thing I Googled: "Make The Exorcist Fall In Love" (The current Manga I'm reading). It tackles quite a few darker subjects while having an art style that I can only describe as "patootie, but capable of horror."

Favourite Season: Spring, or Fall. I consider the weather perfect during these seasons, especially for spring, the sunlight keeps my mood up.

Skill(s) I'd like to learn: A huge one is communication. Not just through words, but with body language. I want to not be so awkward around people. Social skills can be lost but relearned as well. In terms of art, I want the ability to visualize 3D shapes and rotate them in my mind, and the ability to understand perspective more than before.

Best Advice: I've been repeating this mentally to create a healthier mindset and to encourage my growth and improvement. "The Achievements of another do not invalidate your own. Celebrate your personal victories." Combatting envy and jealousy for another's skills, creating a healthy mindset that encourages personal growth while still celebrating others' achievements, and learning more about yourself do wonders for artistic expression, at least from what I'm experiencing at this stage.

Tags: (Hope I'm not bothering you, do as you please!) @mello-bee, @breakfasttime4rob, @misti-chan, @primadrawz05, @christofftgg, and anyone else who would like to chime in.

Tagged by @sleepy-sham

Last song: Fête de trop by Eddy de Pretto, a wonderful french singer, a literal poet, and a queer icon.

Favourite Colors: Emerald Green. That color is so beautiful, magnificient, and ethereal. The peace and the calm it inspires me... And of course like prev I love turquoise, it's so pretty. Also, purple.

Currently Watching: Uh. Rewatching Loki S2 because I like to suffer ? Well, it was just for 1 episode because I wanted a reason to cry, so perhaps it doesn't count. I am currently watching Ouran High School Host Club as an anime. If we're talking about TV Shows then it'd be What if (from Marvel) and Gen V.

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Sweet. Always sweet. I constantly have candies in my room and if not then I have chocolates.

Current Obsession: Pls don't ask I'm able to cry just by thinking about them. Yeah it's SatoSugu, I'm doomed.

Last things I Googled: don't judge me I was looking for memes and posts

Favourite Season: SUMMER !!!! I'm a Summer child. I thrive on the heat of holidays, water gun fights, hot thunder nights and summer activities. I love when there are ice cream shops everywhere, when kids play outside, when the sky is entirely blue, and when people play music on the street. I'm very fine with temperatures from 25 to 32° C so I actually enjoy the summer weather.

Skill(s)I'd Like to Learn: Sign Language, Editing Videos and Photos properly, and Drawing.

Best advice: Do not harm but take no shit. Also, you are not the main character of the Earth, people don't think about you all the time. If they seem hurtful or avoidant they're probably just lost in their own problems and lives. Things are rarely about you. Breathe. No one's mad. And if in doubt, just ask (nicely).

Regro would be the kind of dad with a really weathered photograph in his wallet and I also think that photo is a potato Mash. Mash Potato.

Don't mind me, just posting this separately from a reblog-

Yes, this is Wahlberg and Innocent Zero. You may have some questions, about how or why this was made.

I have three words for you: Crazy inside jokes

OP I specifically reblogged this because I want you to know that your post echoed in the back of my mind as I created this. THERE IS A BACKSTORY AS TO WHY THIS WAS BORN but it's funnier if I don't explain. I think.

OG image under the cut

not enough gay people in the mashle fandom. anyway those two old wizards have 1000% explored each other's bodies

I just need to get this off my chest, below contains cropped pics from the Paragons CN Spirit World profile intro thing just in case + me rambling and speculating about Spirit World related content:

(I apologize in advance if this isn't the easiest to read through, I've never really rambled here before.)

SO. If there's one world I keep looking forward to, it's Spirit World because there are just so many things that intrigue me. But other than the outfits and myths they seem to take inspiration for (which I may speak about some other time) each of the Paragons has a symbol attached to their intro profiles that relates to them in some way. Oddly enough, these symbols are missing from the JP and ENG versions of their profiles, and I can only wonder why.

Almost all the symbols have elements that are also present in their outfits/have meaning tied to themselves.

Here they are:

Lars' symbol, contains shapes that look like a rising sun + wings that tie into the jewelry he wears (very much related to Ancient Egypt)

Alkaid's is shaped like the head of a stag, with hornlike protrusions and most notably the star in the center that makes up the head shape.

Ayn's has flames (which are present around his body) and clawlike markings that tip-off to his wolf design (the design itself also does look a bit like a wolf head) There's also a Penrose triangle shape, but that's tied more closely to another version of himself...possibly for another time.

Clarence's contains feather-like shapes, dangly rectangular shapes with those circles behind it that are similar to the earrings he dons, but most importantly there's that serpent that snakes around into something of a figure 8. Infinity? He's frequently associated with the passage of time (wanting things moments to last forever, centuries of waiting etc)

But then there's Cael's, which initially stuck out to me as I was looking at these symbols because I could not pinpoint anything on his outfit or character that could possibly give me a hint as to what it was trying to show.

A circle with odd symbols and an X in the center?

Then I realized. Take a good look at this.

The Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card:

IT'S THE SAME THING. Albeit with some artistic liberties, but everything from the symbols on the outer side of the circle to the x shape is present.

So I immediately went to go check the meaning behind this card to see what this could mean. I'm no Tarot expert, so I will link the resources below so you can have a look for yourself:

UPRIGHT: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point

REVERSED: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles (From here)

Now, I can only imagine what will happen in Spirit World because I don't really like to spoil myself ahead of time. But if Cael becomes a Love Interest at this stage of the story, the upright meaning of this card would apply, and it really does fit him.

What I'm worried about is the meaning if you read it reversed. I wonder what will happen in this world, and what it could mean for MC and Cael, as well as the others.

I typed this all in one go and I feel like I could articulate myself better but I got too excited. If anyone is interested in more of my thoughts I could try to whip out some more things I've been sitting on.

I loved being able to read these, polls for fandoms are always super interesting!

And hey, thanks for the shoutout at the end, that was surprising- I do a lot of thinking and predicting in private, and I felt those route poll results in my bones.

Ever wondered about the demographics of this fandom? Ever wondered who the most popular NPC in the game is? Well, wonder no more! To satiate my own curiosity, I created a Google Form to anonymously survey the fandom and see who we are and what we like! I'll be on the look out for any correlations, as well as any other cool facts.

Now, this is just for fun, so the survey might not be perfect. I apologize in advance! To help mitigate this, I have included "Other" sections for most of the questions and have also included an open ended section for anyone who might have more to say.

SURVEY RESULTS AND SUMMARY: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OvHo4IV7uG36hPccNhNkkfreBB6hxQO5ZoWlq2NfaSE/edit?usp=sharing

Sharing an Alkaid artwork as part of a video I'm working on!

...and I tacked on some older Ross content doodle thing I made when I was talking to @mello-bee (we have a Ross propaganda basement)

This marks the first time I've ever really rendered clothes in this art style, Lovebrush is doing things to me

ATTENTION, CALLING WILLARENCE NATION!!!

I have an indescribable love for the funny Student Council and their shenanigans, and so I doodled the boys last night.

If you'll allow me to be weird in my little corner over here for a sec, I just wanted soft, quiet moments with Clarence and William. They got knocked out cold from all the studying during their freshman year, and I added O'Connor there because he's a good Senpai, even if he's eccentric. THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS UNBREAKABLE!!1!

Okay that's all for now, I was a bit nervous to share here 0(-(

#lovebrush chronicles #lovebrush clarence #lovebrush william #lovebrush O'Connor #clarence clayden #lbchronicles #lbc #digital art #fanart #art #willarence #They're just a couple of guys being dudes #and O'Connor makes their dynamic even better #I will grab them all and squish them
