The False Shepard, Here To Lead Our Lambs Astray
[ID: a digital drawing of an original, stylised Flatland character named Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is a vaguely humanoid character. She is depicted here with a seven-point star head with an eye in the centre, a clawed right hand and a left arm that is cut in half at the elbow - leading onto a white geometric hand. She has a broad chest that narrows into a thin torso. Her legs are cut out of frame - her body is only shown from the waist up.
She is stood in the centre with her arms held perpendicular to her body and the palms of her hands facing upwards. Over her right hand hovers a white crescent moon with a black earth shadow. Over her left hand hovers a black four-point star. She is smiling and staring slightly upwards. Her body is made up of black lines that get denser at the edges of her head, the bottom of her body and on her forearm.
The background is a stained glass window. There is a yellow and orange sun behind Elizabeth’s head with grey and pale blue glass around it, that fades to purple further down. Faint rays of light also shine out from the sun and into the corners of the canvas.
End ID.]
putting the background story and symbolism about this piece under the cut bc i feel like it really deserves an in-depth explanation
i can’t believe i’ve never properly discussed it before, but Liz’s main goal is to stop Chief turning out like his father.
after she tries and fails to kill their Chief Circle and instead kills his guard in Atlas’s defence (and i’ve decided that this is the incident where she loses her arm), she can’t risk taking any more blows like that. so instead of resorting to physical violence, she instead tries her hand at ‘positive manipulation’ to tear her problem from the root up.
she makes sure Chief has enough emotional ties to the lower classes (Atlas and Vance), irregulars (Ruth and Elijah) and lines (Liz, Ruth, Stella and Irene) for him to reconsider everything he’s been told about them. this is all to make sure that when Chief Sr. kicks the bucket they have a somewhat more progressive next-of-kin lined up to take his place. this works for her as Liz first meets Chief when he’s only about 15, so he’s still pretty young and an impressionable teenager.
but Chief Sr is still alive so boo. he has a strong grip on everything and has Chief Jr pinned under his thumb out of fear. while he doesn’t know about Stella, he does know that this ‘false shepard’ is up to something that involves his son. again, he still doesn’t know exactly who Liz is but he’s working on figuring it out.
so this image of Liz - a large, dark, looming, unnerving figure - is made to fit the circles’ depiction of her. how the next Chief Circle and his daughter are locked in her clawed grasp, and she smiles almost mockingly about it. her prosthetic is replaced by a white geometric hand and it sticks out like a sore thumb, as though it makes her ‘unhuman’ - but easily identifiable. her body is made up of a mass of lines, joined together in their force (danger !! women !!). the glass is only coloured around her head (the sun is the same as her colour palette when she’s not greyscale) and at her ‘feet’ (it’s more like the bottom of her torso but you know what i mean) which is mostly shaped with triangles - as if she’s breaking their world of grey out over the blood of the circles (again, i use purple as circle symbolism). the sun is rising in the sky, as the dawn of a new day and a new era begins.
essentially, she’s a revolutionary of the lower class, and a tyrant to the upper classes.

Welcome! こんにちは! ⛩️

Before You Read Anything of Mine! (Info)
Drawing Game + Art Requests
Here's a bunch of kaomojis for you to use!
About Me!
Hello! My name is Michiko, but please call me Michi or by my username, CopyCat! I'm fine with some nicknames as well! *ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊˚
I write and draw art for My Hero Academia (just MHA right now)
I'm accepting writing requests! Requests will always be open, so please feel free to stop by! You can ask on anon, and it's completely free! I'm fine with multiple requests and super long and complex requests too!
It just might take me some time to complete them right now, but I always strive for quality! I normally try to keep my fics around 5k+ words. Bonus since sometimes I have to do lots of research on things I'm not familiar with to avoid a poorly written request
Other than writing and drawing I love Japan and Japanese culture! I also love lots of cute things as well (especially cats) ( ⑉¯ ꇴ ¯⑉ )
I also like biology and biotech! I'll admit I'm a bit of a STEM nerd (๑•﹏•)
I'm open to anyone who wants to just chat! I like getting tagged in tag games and hearing about someone's day! It's a bit of a struggle for me to talk to people, but I always try to put in the effort!
It's a pleasure meeting you! ໒꒰ྀི∩˃ ᵕ ˂∩꒱ྀི১

Other Characters:
I'm fine with writing pretty much any MHA character, although there are some that I'm better with. Just ask and I'll tell you if I can write them or not!
I do mainly write for Shinso and Aizawa, so if you can then I'd suggest asking for them (๑´ㅂ`๑)ŧ‹"ŧ‹"

If you have any questions as to what you want to request, please ask! If I can't write for something all the way then I'll be sure to try to find a night ground! ୧(`꒳´* )ว𓈒𓏸
Won't Write:
Political or overly religious prompts (with exceptions, such as it helps drive the plot forward)
Anything that has to do with real people
I don't do character x character (sorry, nothing against it!)
Male reader ( I have nothing against male readers, but since I'm female I find it rather difficult writing from a different perspective). I will write from a gender neutral point of view though :-)
Any hate in general towards an undeserving person/group
Anything other than MHA, although I do like to write short stories and poems from time to time
Overall for Requests:
If you have a request, please send it in! I love getting them, and I always try to write something that won't disappoint. Anons are on, and if you wish to stay anonymous but want to be remembered, then you can sign off with an emoji, symbol, or nickname.
So far my anons are:

NOBODY HAS PERMISSION TO CREDIT THEMSELVES ON ANY OF MY WORKS UNLESS EXPLICITLY STATED. THANK YOU

homemade cleaning products you can make.
all purpose cleaner
dr bronner’s sal suds + water
add essential oil of your choice or leave as is.
bathroom scrub
mix dr bronner’s sal suds + baking soda + water.
dish soap
mix sal suds + water + essential oil of your choice (optional)
glass cleaner
mix white vinegar + water
disinfectant
mix 70% isopropyl alcohol + touch of water
i personally add everything into glass spray bottles for easier use.
make sure what you clean, using these products, are safe to use on certain finishes/furniture! for example, the isopropyl alcohol should not be used on painted wood. vinegar should not be applied on marble, granite, and other natural stone + stainless steel appliances.
