Costume meta 6x18

Wow I can’t believe I actually managed to write one of these (with all the additional mini metas) for every episode this season!!! if you’ve read, liked or reblogged and any all of my metas throughout this series then I just want to take a moment to say a massive thank you - it really means so much to me that you do take the time to read the epics I post, that you interact with them and that you ask me questions and seem to learn from what I say - sorry to everyone who now sees check pattern clothing out in the wild and gets worried 😬 it happens to me too - its good to have your company!

I’m so sorry that this has taken me far longer to get out that I had intended - my internet died on Thursday night and still hasn’t come back up (it has not been fun - who knew how internet dependant I’d become11!0 so I’ve had to find a cafe on my day of to actually get this posted (I live in a 4g dead spot too just to add to the fun!) Not going to lie - I am in need of a little break because these posts are a lot of work (you don’t want to know some of the side quests some of these posts have taken me on!!), but I love writing them so I plan to continue in season 7. I do have some fun stuff planned for the extended hiatus so while I might not post as much, I will still be around - making art and providing some costume related (and non costume related) things for you to enjoy - I have breakdowns for each character which includes spreadsheets and graphs (don’t get too excited - but they are actually interesting I promise!) in the pipeline as well as sorting out my pinned post as I’ve hit the link limit!!!.

Back to the costumes for this episode - it sure was an interesting one (when are they not tbh) with plenty going on for me to talk about! Apologies for the photos - it was really hard to get decent stills this week - everyone and the camera constantly moving!! As always the rest is below the cut to save your dash!

Athena

Athena has just the one costume this week - heading off on the cruise! I very much enjoyed her being in yellow and saying that she might not tell anyone about them actually being on said cruise! There are a couple of reasons why - firstly its yellow - the colour of communication - which means that her character is telling us something which is important. So Athena suggesting that they don’t tell anyone they are off on this cruise is the key point we need to take away from this scene - what that could mean - well its a throw back to when they attempted to go on the cruise the first time - they were communicating their departure then by being on the phone with Beatrice as they were leaving the Grant-Nash house so by not communicating they’ve gone on their cruise they are preventing another interruption from occurring. The other thing its communicating is that the lack of communication between Bobby and Athena and their family and friends could actually be a bad thing - its a bit of preempting costume design - if the show does indeed choose to go with some form of cruise ship disaster to open season 7 (less likely now that they have delayed the show until midseason, but it depends on how they choose to play the time jump!) then this line comes back into play - the 118 being sent to help with the disaster not knowing Bobby and Athena are on board would make for some very interesting storytelling and potentially parallel with the tsunami very nicely!

The other thing about this costume is the fact that we have bold block colour wearing Athena in a pattern - and a floral pattern at that. Athena doesn’t wear patterns - we saw her in a patterned shirt in 6x10 - when she was undercover and therefore it doesn’t count as actually being something Athena would wear

Bobby

Again the only costume we see Bobby wearing outside of uniform is when he is leaving for the cruise, this is the same costume he was wearing when they made the first attempt at their honeymoon cruise . From a personal perspective this was done to provide continuity between the two scenes as Bobby shirt is the loudest and most obvious thing to carry that thread through for a general audience.

Denny

Denny continues to wear muted tones post reconnecting with his biological father and we also have check on this outfit. The fact that the check is only worn down the sides could indicate either approaching trouble or trouble passing, for me it’s more likely that it is a sense of foreshadowing and will be connected to the Wilsons season 7 storyline revolving around the new baby that they will be bringing home as Denny will become a full blown big brother rather than the role he currently fills with the foster kids – that hovers somewhere between brother and friend. This costume is a bit blink and you’ll miss it and so it’s hard to get more of a read on it than the very basics.

Karen

Karen is wearing her typical large print florals for both her costumes this week and we have the contrast of red - a colour of anger, passion and love with t he yellow of communication, happiness and optimism. the use of the two colours to bookend the episode perfectly play into Karens mini arc for this episode - from the love tinged with disappointment and anger (broken hearted rather than fury) over fostering - the constantly having to hand children back, to the happiness and optimism surrounding the baby girl they may very likely get to adopt. the colours rather than the prints are the things conveying messages for Karen in this episode. they also contrast her very well with Hen in her black and white and then orange.

Hen

It’s really interesting that we have hen in this black-and-white check cardigan which is a parallel to the one she wore in 6×10 that one was red with larger neutral face emoji is and foreshadowed her anger over Denny contacting his biological father. This new one is more confused and the smaller design with the variety of boxes lines and neutral face emoji is creates a sense of confusion and also feels like it is chaotic in an organised manner it plays into both check theory and striped theory to a certain extent/theory foreshadowing the news of the baby they may potentially get to adopt and the cheque foreshadowing the upcoming disaster we see in the episode. the black and white also plays into the idea of Hen being settled into the black and white nature of fostering children - accepting the reality and highlighting the difference between now and when they had Nia - this is deliberate as it shows emotional progress, but it is also about emphasising the joy they experience later in the episode when told they will be getting a baby girl - its more impactful because we’ve seen Hens acceptance of their situation.

Hen’s other costume for the episode is this orangey red shirt which both contrasts and matches Karen’s yellow floral print shirt it also fits nicely with the oranges and lemons we see on the kitchen countertop next to her. Orange is an optimistic and energetic colour, it provides emotional strength and joy in its positive outlooks however is -ones are connected with superficiality in patients and domination. I think in this scene we can take the positive traits of the colour as opposed to the negative as we get to see Hen and Karen achieve something they’d given up on – the possible permanent expansion of their family – and brings them both full-circle after their disappointment surrounding Nia.

Chimney

Chimney is wearing a brown shirt with a black check pattern, brown is a colour of stability and reliability, it’s a grounding colour and chimney wearing it here indicates that where he is in his life is grounded in stable, his relationship and impending nuptials with Maddie are built on solid ground and overall this colour bodes well for their marriage. We do need to consider the cheque pattern as being foreshadowing for the potential exploration of Chimney storyline next season, whether that involves Madney actually making it down the aisle without problems arising, or if the show will explore some of chimney’s trauma in more detail remains to be seen however it does appear season 7 May begin a little bumpy for Chimney.

Kameron

Kameron wearing both the light and Navy blues that we’ve seen Buck wearing throughout this season whilst struggling to open a jar of pickles was a direct reference to Bucks struggles with who he is and who he wants to be. The props and costume work together to hint at Buck getting himself in a pickle and struggling to successfully deal with his issues, the fact that Kameron needed someone else to open the jar is a reference to Buck needing somebody else to help him with his struggles whilst the pickles in both this episode and the previous episode are a reference to Buck dealing with one issue but not his others. The use of blue costume in this scenario tells us the viewer should associate that struggle with buck specifically as the show has taken great pains to show us buck in a huge amount of blue costuming this season. The blue costuming also refers to water and water finding its level this has dual meaning in that it is foreshadowing Kameron’s water breaking later in the episode as well as continuing water theme surrounding buck story arc. The costume (and props) parallel Kameron and Buck and tell us to relate their stories to one another - Kameron being in a pickle with her life - her relationship with Connor - paralleled with Bucks own romantic storyline - both of them looking for support in the wrong place - from the wrong person, instead of with their respective partners - Kameron seeking help from Buck instead of Connor and and Buck seeking answers to being seen from Natalia instead of Eddie.

Cameron second costume one she’s wearing when she goes into labour continues the blue theme but also plays into the grey black-and-white theme increase seen in the scenes that appear to be re-shoots. The choice of daisies as appropriate for this dress as they symbolise innocence new beginnings and purity, they are also the symbol of fertility and childbirth.

Maddie

Ok so unusually I am going to talk about Maddie in connection with both Marisol and Natalia because their costumes are all connected by stars!

Maddie is wearing black with a lot of stars in white, while Marisol and Natalia have sparkly stars in fewer numbers on their costumes. the difference is the sparkly nature of said stars whilst the stars make perfect sense on all three of them for their respective scenes, they have different meanings attached to them - both Marisol and Natalia’s stars are a play on the concept of fantasy and dreaming and reaching for the unattainable, there are fewer stars and the glitteriness is a play on the idea of all that glitters is not gold - that the seemingly attractive external appearance is not a reliable indication of its true nature - that it is superficial. That meaning does not work for Maddie, her stars are not glittery or sparkly, they are matt and there are lots of them - there is more substance to her and Chimneys relationship and it is a direct and deliberate contradiction to the relationships of Eddie and Marisol and Buck and Natalia - we are meant to see the contrast - the building of something which has had to be fought for versus the untested and insubstantial nature of both of the other relationships - it all comes back to what bobby told Eddie - Maddie and Chim have sat with each other, taken a moment and stepped into the mess - they are fully aware of the reality where as Marisol and Natalia are both untested and fit much more into the fantasy concept the show has explored this season and the fantasy rarely holds up when exposed to reality.

Natalia

Aside from the stars that I’ve spoken about above, it was an interesting choice to remove nearly all colour from Natalia’s costume for scenes where she is present when life is brought into the world. When not in her ‘work’ role, we’ve seen her wearing a fair amount of colour, even if black is nearly always present - lots or red and oranges and whites and greens, however she was all in black for the living funeral and here again we have her in predominately black, with a little bit of navy thrown into the mix the choice to use very dark colours is intentional and these dark colours play into her role as harbinger of death - she is representing death as life is brought into the world. I wrote a post about that scene and her presence in it and how it plays into the fact that death has haunted Buck since he was brought into the world. Natalia’s presence was necessary precisely because of what she represents and because death is still hovering in Bucks life - the fact that Natalia and Buck get together while she is still dressed in this way is very telling about her position in Bucks world - he is still focused on death and its being a part of who he is rather than seeing/ focusing on other things. It all plays back into the ‘she really sees me’ of it all - Buck wants to be seen beyond his death/ beyond the death that has shadowed his life, but he is still falling back into the safety of being seen for death rather than the life he is living. Natalia is a representation of Buck falling back on these safe behaviours and thoughts because he is fundamentally scared of being seen for who he really is and Natalia’s transition from the orange of their ‘first’ date to increasing levels of black in her subsequent outfits shows that representation in Bucks life perfectly.

Interestingly though we get a direct contrast to all that black in the ‘morning after’ scene with Natalia in white shirt which is meant to be one of Bucks. Honestly - fascinated by this choice! Putting her in a shirt that is meant to be one of Bucks makes total sense, but they could’ve chosen any colour they wanted - Buck wears a lot of colour, but they chose a white shirt. A. White. Shirt. a white shirt that is supposed to be one of Bucks. We all know how things go for Buck when it comes to white shirts - it doesn’t end well - it leads to bad things! Natalia isn’t going to end well for Buck - the white shirt has spoken!.

The other thing with the white shirt is its contrast to Buck being in blue/grey because it puts her in opposition to Eddie who wore black when on the balcony. The balcony is a place that puts her on the outside of things, she isn’t inside with the mess (the couch) and the colour white is considered both a colour of innocence and purity, whilst at the same tie being seen as cold, uncaring and bland. When placed in contrast to Eddies black- a colour of power, strength security and protection, things don’t look great for Natalia’s future, or her ability to understand and support Buck.

We have to have a quick talk about Jo and Mallory for the simple reason that they are dressed in Buck and Eddies colours, despite essentially being representations of Christopher and Buck, the implication being that Christopher would retain a lot of the traits etc he has gained from Eddie, even if Eddie were no longer a physical presence in his life, and that Buck would’ve nurtured those aspects of who he is.

Chris

Christopher in grey as a neutral tone is an interesting choice. The green, specifically khaki green hidden underneath is a nod towards Eddie and, the fact it’s hidden under the grey to me is a reference to Christopher accepting things because he thinks they’re what his father does. But also towards Eddie once again, doing things that he thinks is right for Christopher.

Eddie

We can’t not talk about the St. Christopher being brought out at this moment! We haven’t seen this necklace since 4x14 when Eddie got home and its use here is so very intentional in a camper van that is essentially a microcosm of the will arc - all of the elements of Buck, Eddie and Christopher’s relationship is shown here in the camper - the will, the fridge, the couch, the coffee , the risk of explosion, and the earth mover van crashing into it, we even get similar camera angles and injuries. the entire thing is supposed to direct us to what that St. Christopher means, what it already represents and it is setting up next season - there is no other reason to include it otherwise.

Eddie in blue and in check – blue being connected to Eddie and his family suggests that the check is foreshadowing rocky times for that family dynamic and hints that this new relationship will end poorly whether that’s by fizzling out or in some other way remains to be seen. The other thing about this blue plaid check shirt is that it also ties in with a couple of other things - Eddie rarely wears plaid check - only 4 times before now and generally these are tied with when he’s been having family issues - we see it in the flashback scene in Eddie begins that show family conflict, conversely he doesn’t wear check in flashback scenes where is mind and intention is clear (such as when he argues with his parents and stands up for himself before going outside and asking Chris if he wants to move to LA.) The only other times we see him wearing check and not in a flashback is very much connected with his struggles with Christopher - and being able to support him - feeling like a failure as a father (which he isn’t) such as when he is at Bucks taking about Christopher’s skateboard accident and wanting his kid to feel normal. The only other time we see him in plaid is when he helps Buck move Maddie’s sofa into her new apartment - this is the only scene we have Eddie in non uniform before he goes to visit Durrand and is told he’ll need to get back in touch with Shannon - its kind of foreshadowing the conflict of the school visit when they couldn’t very easily put him in plaid.

I therefore really intrigued by this choice to have him in plaid for this scene when we don’t see any family conflict - so its either foreshadowing upcoming family conflict, or its playing on the idea that he’s internally conflicted - doing what his family wants (dating a woman) rathe than what he actually wants, or if the conflict is going to arise from him including Chris in this new venture into dating (we all saw how well that went last time!)

The other thing this plaid shirt is comparable with is Eddies Poker suit. Which has me all kinds of intrigued because it really does actually imply that the poker game was in fact going to be played as a ‘date’ (which would’ve likely played into the family conflict theme and thus been in keeping with all the other times Eddie has worn plaid) before they changed tack due to getting renewal and therefore didn’t follow through on whatever direction they had intended to take the Buck and Eddie storyline they had planned when they thought this might be the final season of the show.

Buck

Buck in brown with a vertical stripe, the brown suggests solid ground or in a stable place - so Buck is being presented as having made peace with the sperm donation, as well as being a stable place from which to try and help Connor and Kameron sort out their problems. The vertical stripes also play into the theme of vertical stripes we’ve see non him this season. Interestingly, we haven’t seen Buck wearing these vertical stripes around Natalia, which I would expect to see if their relationship was meant to last as the vertical stripes are very much connected with Bucks search for himself, in particular, connected to couch theory (this is the second time we’ve seen vertical stripes in connection with couches/ armchairs) - Bucks version of couch theory, not the second couch theory that he as a character isn’t aware of.

We have this grey marl tee, which is green tinted - perfect choice for Buck delivering the baby he helped create in a scene that heavily played into Bucks own birth. The grey and green tones have been associated with Bucks arcs this season - either in relation to the sperm donation (the green tones) or the family he has been searching for and is on his way to finding/ fully comprehending (why he wears grey around Bobby and Christopher in their one on one scenes - its the father son relationships being more deeply established). so for him to have both on when he gets to be the one who delivers the child he helped to create is a great choice and plays into both themes - especially when he tells Connor to love that child at the hospital.

The addition of the check shirt is solely about Buck starting a relationship with Natalia, and them getting together in a moment not that dissimilar to how Buck and Taylor got together - at a moment of Buck reckoning with something important - the trauma of nearly loosing Eddie with Taylor and now with Natalia his reckoning with the sperm donation and having delivered the baby he helped to create. This is a deliberate choice by the show to parallel the two moments, but the use of check is highlighting it further and telling me that this relationship with Natalia isn’t going to be as ling and drawn out as his relationship with Taylor was. Buck doesn’t actually wear check patterns all that often considering the amount of danger and trouble he gets himself into and we’ve seen him wear it in most cases in relation to mental health struggles (the Equestrian centre is a prime example - Buck trying to raise the shooting with Eddie and being unsuccessful because Eddie wasn’t ready - and its parrallel with the grave scene from this season when Buck isn’t ready in return) so for him to be wearing it a second time is short succession and both connected with Natalia (and thinking he’s finally being seen) doesn’t bode well for anything related to their new relationship.

Buck wearing his watch for the balcony scene is very telling because the scene is meant to imply buck and Natalia spent the night together and this is the following morning when they address down and comfortable and she is wearing one of his shirts, however him wearing his watch suggests that there is already a countdown/ that there is a time limit on their relationship.

Buck grey blue tee parallel with hoodie from the Eddie balcony scene - buck not understanding or seeing things clearly. The new one is darker and less blue, which not only plays into the previously stated concept of not understanding, but also suggests that Buck is currently in a less receptive state than during his previous times wearing the blue/grey colourway. The other thing to bear in mind is that Buck wearing a dark grey plays back into his costuming around Taylor in last season - he wore a lot of grey, but there was a distinct difference between the lighter shades we saw him wearing around Eddie and Christopher (which was the building blocks his grey wearing this season was built off of) and the darker greys we saw him wear around Taylor.

And there we have it - one very late but finished costume meta! I’m off to pray to the internet gods that my home internet will be fixed very soon (current date I’m being given is the 5 June) as I can’t survive much longer without being able to do the things I need and want to! if you want to send up a prayer for me then please feel free to help a girl out 😁

Thank you to all of you that have read one, several or all of my metas for this season. I hope this one was worth the read and I look forward to getting to write metas for whatever they throw at us in seasonn 7!!

As always and for the final time this season, tag list below! 💜💜💜

Hey, all.

You might be wondering why I haven’t been posting a lot of content recently. In all honesty, my mental state has kind of hit an all time low. I’ve been struggling to do the smallest tasks, and get the work I need to do done IRL, not to mention keeping up with an online story in my free time. And so, I’ve made a decision. I’m going to be stepping back a bit from the story, and going on a mini hiatus of sorts. Drawing is still one of the few things that truly brings me joy, so I’ll probably still post art here, but I don’t think I can keep working on the story for the time being. It’s just too much pressure. It’s no one’s fault though, I’ve put the pressure on myself, none of you have done anything wrong. Everyone has been so kind and supportive and just all around wonderful people. I just need to stop focusing on what my art does for others, and more on what it does for me.

I want to make it clear, I am not abandoning this blog. Not in the slightest. I’m just taking a step back for a bit, and focusing on what I want to draw, not what I think I should draw.

Sorry if this disappoints anyone, it’s truly not my intent. And seriously, thank you guys for being so supportive :)

As of today I have read all 55 issues of Bob Budiansky’s run on Transformers, plus the Headmasters mini and the UK-only issues up to [checks the wiki] UK issue #182, which means I have 20-odd UK-sized comics before I’m at the same place in the US and UK chronologies. Oh, and the UK Annuals through 1987. Oh, and Transformers: Secrets and Lies, but that only kind of counts since it published as a continuity-fixing prequel in the past ten years.

The first lesson you should take from this is that Transformers continuity has always been a pain in the ass. The second is that despite that, these comics are entertaining enough for me to read the way through them. Since I already like Transformers, part of the entertainment value is just seeing the mythos take form, but there are several stories I’d put down as genuinely good.

Miscenalleous thoughts:

The quality of the series rises sharply after the 4-issue miniseries that starts it, then declines again around #30 of the US comics, probably because of the sheer number of characters who have to be introduced all at once. (All the Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters, and Pretenders, and that’s just for starters.)

That first post-miniseries arc of Shockwave taking over the Decepticons + Buster Witwicky getting the Creation Matrix is really fun. The Transformers ... ARE ALL DEAD and the Autobots hanging from the ceiling truly deserve their iconic status!

The Smelting Pool!/The Bridge to Nowhere two-parter is probably my favorite single story. It’s not the dead Cybertron of the cartoon, but instead a very living hell. Spanner’s fate (being rebuilt into the space bridge while still alive and conscious) is horrifying, especially as we know he’s still alive at the end of the arc, he’s just never mentioned again. Every time you see the space bridge after this, know that Spanner is still screaming inside of it.

Similarly, seeing Cybertron’s day-to-day fucked-up normal in the Flame’s zombie army arc in the UK comics was nice. I still don’t understand how the “zombie army” part of his plan and the “make Cybertron travel through space” part were connected, but I’m always a fan of villains who are supposed to be on the main characters’ side.

The early UK art when it was fully hand-painted is gorgeous. Decepticon Dam-Busters (issue #29) is not my favorite story, but the coloring really takes the whole thing to the next level. The US comics and later UK comics never looked this good.

The infamous issue where Optimus Prime kills himself over cheating in a video game does suck, which only makes it more striking how much I like the next issue, where Megatron’s inability to accept Prime’s death drives him into paranoid violence.

Furious, impetuous Blaster is a much more interesting character than the chill Blaster of the cartoon. He’s ready to disobey orders if it means saving someone he cares about AND he’s willing to turn on a dime and kill a friend if he thinks that friend has betrayed him.

Some concepts that I would love to have come back:

Megatron and Optimus are only the leaders of their factions on Cybertron for a hundred to a thousand-ish years before they’re gone for four million years. This isn’t explored in the comics, but everyone on Cybertron has known someone else’s leadership for exponentially longer than they have known Optimus and Megatron. It’d be interesting to have a series that goes back to the 4-million-year hiatus - I don’t think we’ve had one of those in a while - and had the two factions face a third side in the form of an unrecognizably changed Cybertron.

Deadly Games from the UK continuity has alien tourists visiting Decepticon-run Cybertron to view brutal bloodsport executions of Autobot prisoners in a joint alien-Decepticon venture. The exploitation of the Autobot-Decepticon war for moneymaking purposes via poverty/war tourism is something I don’t think any other TF media goes into, but it’s

Surprising absolutely no one, I was super into the Headmaster binary bonding process. Yes, the reasoning for why it happened and how it works is wonky! Yes, the Nebulans to a man have very stupid names and very generic appearances! Yes, the Headmasters start an era of truly relentless character introductions! But the blending of minds described in text is truly fascinating. When Zarak and Scorponok bond, Zarak nearly forgets he has a daughter, and over time Zarak stops wanting to be called anything but Scorponok even when they’re separate. On the flip slide, because of his bond with Spike, Fortress Maximus forgets that Buster isn’t his brother.

Unicron and Primus are part of pantheons of dark and light gods respectively. None of the other gods are ever seen, and this is admittedly a niche that is mostly filled by the Thirteen in present fiction, but I like the idea that these other gods are the gods of other species.

The Ark has a cache of copied Autobot minds that can be given new bodies ... implying that Skids, Grapple, Hoist, Smokescreen and Tracks exist in both original and copy format. This is an extremely fun use of the Transformers’ computer-based physiology at this point in canon and I’d love more blase cloning stories.

The Matrix being a live-giving program that can be transmitted to and from ANY mind, including an organic one would honestly pair quite well with the themes of Earthspark.

Two quotes to add to the compilation of “Transformers quotes that go harder than they had to”:

Omega Supreme, to Megatron: “I am the guardian of the gates... the junction of your destruction... the laser lighting the way to your doom... the planner of your obsolescence... the furnace that fires your demise... I am the number you cannot compute, Decepticon.”

Scorponok, to Zarak: “Yes, perhaps I will share my power with you—it is in my best interest—but beware—when possessed of such power all other concerns fade. Compassion. Mercy. Perhaps even daughters.”

definitely not my year but we’re not giving up without a fight anyway. feels like problems and sad news keep piling up, so i’m just tired, to say the least. if you want to plot or talk i’m more or less active on discord, and (again) i should be back soonish.

"No, that’s not how we do it in this household, Effy. People come to give money back – we say thank you, take the money, close the door. People ask for money – we say fuck you and close the door. Why didn’t you tell that guy to fuck off?”

“Fuck no, you shouldn’t see the other one. He looked much better after he’d kicked my ass and therefore, we’ll scratch him from my story.” Skyler smiled bitterly. He could joke about it and laugh that bruise off, but his ego suffered more than his ribcage did. Would he learn anything from that and stop starting such unnecessary fights? Of course not. The lesson would be gone even before his bruises had a chance to heal.

My #1 post of 2022

My idea here is he wants to use your character and plant some device/steal something he needs, but doesn’t necessarily have to be this kind of plot.

He almost jumped at the sound of her voice. Sudden noises in the middle of the night were his least favorite – one could never prepare for that inevitable mini heart attack. With a quiet, bored sigh, Skyler turned around, smiling a little apologetically. “Sorry I woke you up. Everythin’s under control. I’m just lookin’ for-... Uh, never mind, go back to sleep.”

Welcome to the Library of Eden!

About the Blog:

This is my blog for reviewing books, comic books, webcomics and fan fics!

I am mainly using my high school library to find books to read so for now I’m mostly reviewing classics, YA novels and teen rated comic books (I can review pretty much any webcomic or fic)

I have no posting schedule though I make a post if I think I’ll be on hiatus.

I do accept recommendations through the ask box. I will consider any material and give a reason for any rejection of a recommendation. I will not review erotica or smut-focused fan fictions and fan fictions must be completed and over 10k words for me to review. Webcomics have to either be completed or still airing for me to review.

I may reblog or post book related content that aren’t reviews (memes, art, recommendation lists, mini-essays, reading challenges, etc.)

About the Blogger:

My name is Eden! I am a seventeen year old living in America. I use They/xe/Chai/bud pronouns. I want to be a journalist when I grow up and I love reading so I am using this blog as writing practice! my main blog is @sys-garden which is a fandom oriented blog.

Still on mini hiatus

which just means for me, less social media updates and more resting, I’ve started using artfol for a bit, and I really like the website, if you also want to follow me there: https://www.artfol.co/actualevil

Also been drawing more heads, mostly of my boiis. I keep naming the file ‘’a [insert thing] boii’’ hehe. I’m cheeky like that.

This is mostly copium doodling, so quality really varies when it comes to the art. I’ve been so tired in between days that I’m just playing games when I can, with my eyes barely open. If you’re curious, I stream marvel midnight suns on twitch during my evenings for a few hours. The vods are on youtube.

Anyways, gameplay vods are on my youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC00XhkJDyEt624qh0U5s-oQ

There we go.

i’m going to go on a mini art hiatus from now until the first of the year [so just like, two weeks]

i think it’s important for ourselves to understand when we need a break. i never understood the importance of it i think until just now. usually i try to push through it all and white-knuckle my way through burn out but that never had good results. There were several years i barely drew at all because i pushed myself too much and was too frustrated with my art and what to do with it [also suffering from ‘this isn’t my own style’ syndrome]

not saying i’m in that state now, on the contrary i’m more secure in how i draw now. it feels original, and for once it’s reflecting how i want to feel versus how i’m feeling at the moment. and, it feels wholly my own.

however, between sept. 28 and nov. 30 i have drawn over 80+ things. some i haven’t posted bc they were just doodles, but that’s a lot to do.

in fact, it was so much, that i am on the verge of getting tennis elbow. or, i already have it. but the last couple of days have been okay so who knows.

regardless, while i loooooved doing suptober prompts and was super proud of myself for getting every day done, and i loved doing all of y’alls awesome requests from voting, i was so drawn [heh] into it that i didn’t allow any time for me to rest, thus resulting in an almost serious injury to my arm and wrist. i never had that problem before!

and i don’t even use my hands just for drawing. i like to write, i like to crochet, weave, embroider, crossstich, so on and so forth so it’s important to me that my hands and arms can continue to function how i need them to.

but physical injury aside, i think i want to take these final two weeks of 2022 to just reflect on my art journey, and where i want to go in 2023.

i’m on the edge of real burnout and art block and i don’t want that energy to carry me into the new year.

i’m excited for my goals for 2023 which i’ll do a separate post on, and i want to make sure i stay excited for that.

i know when i’m starting to get to real burn out [and not just ‘i’m tired’ temporary burn out] when it’s hard to shake the worry over ‘low engagement’ on my art. that’s when the low confidence comes back, the fear and the disappointment and the sadness.

so — maybe i’ll sketch some things, put those videos on tiktok [wiggleboxart] or something, but for the most part, i’m going to take a break these next two weeks and just recharge for the new year.

i hope you all understand! and i’m not going anywhere of course, you’re still going to see me on here and stuff, and i will draw again and post stuff again —

but just going to take a smol break so i can recharge and start 2023 with fresh energy! <3

#housekeeping4444 #long post #jen in real life4444 #if you're an artist or any kind of creative and are feeling exhausted pls take a break #no big deal to do so

Was wondering if you had any arts and crafts updates to share?

Loved seeing the updates on your last embroidery project

💕

Hey hey hey!!!

I’m always happy to see you in my inbox, especially when you ask me things like this!!

So I haven’t really had much chance to much embroidery recently - I e been redecorating my house and it’s eaten all my time (I’m so happy with how it’s all looking, but I can’t wait to have my evenings back to work on fun things 😂)

This is go far I’ve got with my Maddie and buck pinky promise piece since my last update

So still a long long way to go with it but I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out so far!! I might have to wait for spring before I start back up with it as it’s better to work on in natural light!!

But I have been working on a couple of other things as well, this is a needle felt Eddie that I’m making - he has a wire armature so he can be made to hold different positions once he’s complete (he’s for my desk at work - I have plans for a mini felt version of all the 911 fam😎😎😎)

Again as you can see - early stages of the process - i can only do it for a short time before I start stabbing myself with the needle, but it’s good to do while watching things (I’ve been using hiatus to rewatch bones)!!

And I was feeling inspired and got my painting mojo back so this is a painting I’ve just started of Buck - I’ve only done his uniform do far, but I love painting fabric and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out!

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed my little arts and crafts update! I’ll try to be a bit more regular with crafty updates

#kym answers things #spotsandsocks asks #art and craft ask #911 arty things #creative kym #painting #911 art #needle felting #embroidery #911 embroidery #Buckley siblings embroidery #needle felt Eddie #buck painting #911 on fox

Still on my way re-reading Karekano, it’s just... I had to take a detour from it because reasons.

(Also, take note I haven’t re-read this series in AGES, so my memories about it are mostly hazy)

I recently started vol 13 because the whole Tsubasa & Kazuma arc got me really tired because I wasn’t extremely fond on their arc (or pairing in general, sorry), lol, and I’m not *exactly* fond of the way Tsuda draws Tsubasa (maybe she was making a point in drawing her “small-ish” and fragile, sometimes like a doll, because she was like a child refusing to grow up, which is part of her character arc... but getting rid of her bangs as a sign of “maturity”... ????).

(I also got partly annoyed at a panel of Kazuma handling a mic the way he does which is a) extremely uncomfortable to do so irl and b) look, I have been too much into certain anime rap boys franchise in the past 4 years and a half to know that’s not a comfortable way to you handle a mic...?)

Which reminds me why I am not that fond of the art in the second part of this manga :T. I know I cannot complain much of “six same face” drawing because I think it can be pulled right (and I might do this, too)... but this manga being b&w, and some high-school age female characters looking eerily similar to each other if it wasn’t for their hairstyles or bangs kinda... annoys me (it’s a mix of their eyes, and how Tsuda draws lips). For example, Kano is reintroduced here as a 1st year high schooler and she looks like a younger and smaller version of Yukino... and I UNDERSTAND, they are sisters and what not... but I wish Tsuda would have left her a little more short-haired as before because she EERILY looks like a mini-Yukino... with a hairclip... at least Tsukino still had longer hair and she is dark-haired... but??? (and I suddenly remembered that Yukino SUPPOSEDLY looks like her mother when younger, but, also... come on?)

Which REMINDS me, this is also one of the pet peeves I had when I originally read the series in the late 00s? I don’t remember details, but I guess I also had some sort of hiatus in buying the manga at the time, and returning to it at the Arima arc, I felt weird looking at the art, and I was confusing the girls (Rika and Tsubasa, to be more specific... and sometimes with Yukino even) just by looking at their faces. Also, Tsuda draws them REALLY tall (and Tsubasa is supposed to be SLIGTHLY shorter than me)!. I know this is a constant EVERYWHERE in shoujo manga: CLAMP, Takeuchi Naoko, Yazawa Ai... EVERYONE does it, but also :’))) )

So basically I went “huh, now this makes sense” because it was exactly my initial reaction back then, lmao.

Mini Update!

Hey y’all!

I, yet, live and breathe! Sorry about the semi-but not really-hiatus, I’m still on break from working on IF and being active on the blog. Although, I’ve been good about popping in and refreshing the queue and reblogging what new if stuff happens across my dash(there’s so many good new wips out there and I’m starting to lose track of them all, gotta make spreadsheet lol)

August has been a bit of a break month for me. I’ve been traveling, working on academic projects, and settling into life in a new place. So writing has been….pretty much nonexistent but that’s okay! I’ve decided I’m not gonna punish myself for not producing every free moment and take things slow for now.

That said! I have used this break to sit back and work on Stygian’s plot. I finally have the central conflict all planned out and I’m so excited to introduce the game’s kinda-villain. Although, I announced Stygian back in February, progress on the demo is a bit stalled. I’ve roughly coded her ui and written the prologue and a portion of the first chapter, but I want to release a good chunk of narrative with the initial demo. So, all of that will have to wait until the LaF update, etc.

Also! Some last bit of Stygian news: I just got the line-art for the ro portraits I commissioned a while ago and the urge to yeet them into the void is so strong! I like can’t stop looking at them, ahhhhhh can not wait to share them when they’re finished👀👀

Also, Also! Been just consuming a bunch of IF lately(including VNs, which I missed playing) Here’s some I’ve really enjoyed:

Attollo by @attollogame - Finally caught up the new update and AMES!!! Your mind, I swear!!!! If you love horror, intricate worlds, and pitch-perfect characterization, then you gotta read Attollo!!

Body Count by @bodycountgame - No one should be surprised as I’m the president of Nell’s fan club and I reiterate, YOUR MIND NELL!!! Playing Chapter 2 after being disappointed by this year’s Love Island was everything!!

Boyfriend Dungeon - Disk Horse aside(please be kind to yourself and read the content warnings, if not the one in the game but the ones online by other players before diving in<3), this was so much fun! I really enjoyed the wielding your partner and trusting in one another aspect, a la Pacific Rim. The combat isn’t super grindy like other roguelikes and the music and graphic are very cute! I really rec it, if you’re okay with the st*lk*ng plot device

Celestia by @jelpiparade - A REGENCY FANTASY VN!!! That’s really all that needs to be said but I’ll go on^^ I’m in love with everything the dev’s have made but this one’s art style and setting really blew me away. If the idea of people representing celestial bodies and regency conventions without the bigotry appeals to you, then I really rec this!

Crosshollow Foundations by @townofcrosshollow - The UI!! The Prose!! Loved it! Super excited to read more!! I also really rec that y’all check out; 13 Laurel Rd and Angel in the Aspens

The Eight Years Revolution by @eight-years-revolution - Also finally caught up on 8yr and (I’m sounding like a parrot but!) your mind, Oscar!!! Also the game looks so amazing, especially on mobile!!

Tailor Tales by @celiannac - I recently stumbled on this game after playing it and not really feeling it a few years ago and found myself really enjoying it now! Its got a fashion design mini game component to the traditional visual novel narrative that can feel repetitive but I found it really fun(brought me back to those younger days playing dress up barbie games online) and there’s a few different routes and ros to choose from. As always be sure to read the content warnings before playing as some routes deal with heavy themes! I will say that I really appreciated how detailed and thorough each route’s content warnings are; you can even see additional warnings related to content which made me feel safe and trust the narrative!

A Tale of Crowns by @ataleofcrowns - You don’t need me to tell you how amazing Chapter 7 was but I’m gonna do it anyway^^ I can’t even begin to imagine the branching going on behind the scenes but I loved seeing where all our choices lead and the description of ceremony was beautiful!! I lost my old saves but it was honestly worth playing multiple times, absolutely loved it!!

September is around the corner and I’m gonna get back to work! Don’t know how writing if and doing school at the same time is gonna go but we’re gonna do our best! Hope everyone is staying happy and healthy!!!<3

#sorry for all the tags and rambling <3 your works pls do not percieve me sksksks #also going thru a bit of anime phase but y'all don't need to know my trash dfkhsgk #salty talks #devlog #kinda #interactive fiction

here is a plotting/starter call for the mini event ☃️☃️ below the cut you will find all of my characters with an idea of what they’ll be up to. feel free to like this to plot or just reply with who you’d like a starter for/from and i’ll jump right in and queue something up! or just do both if you want to live large i love winter vibes and have got big muse so i’m excited.

i will still be keeping the other threads i have going but will probably prioritize these for a bit.

small note: my harry potter character are currently on hiatus so i will be limiting them to 4 starters each. because of this i will ask that you only request one or two starters max from these characters. so i can get stuff for anyone who wants something. all of my other characters are unlimited so feel free to go wild.

alec lightwood (2/?)

man does not know how to have fun. will check out vendors to try and buy gifts for the people in his life but he has literally no taste someone help him. will not join the snowball fight but will stand around and judge people’s throwing technique.

amber (1/?)

will be taking part in the snowman building competition and also just making snowmen in general. beyond that probably hanging out at the hot chocolate stand and generally having a good time

andromeda tonks (1/4)

likes the cozy sort of things. she will be sticking to hot chocolate and buying some warm clothes.

asami sato (0/?)

mostly exploring the vendors and buying a few too many gifts. gets weird rich people vibes during the holidays and may attempt to give things to strangers. not taking part in the snowball fights but will like watching.

blue sargent (0/?)

checking out hat and mitten vendors to see if there’s anything her style though it’s doubtful she’ll actually buy anything. will complain about how christmas is all about capitalism and buying things rather than anything actually important to anyone who will listen.

chihiro ogino (0/?)

mostly sticking to the food and drink vendors and giving in to her sweet tooth. will also want to watch some of the music performances. could attempt some ice skating or art but isn’t really interested in engaging in anything competitive. will try pouring espresso into hot chocolate.

ciel phantomhive (1/?)

he is not fun and is only out because his toy company has a stall set up that he feels obligated to check on. may look at some other vendors and complain about craftsmanship and quality.

edward elric (0/?)

will get goaded into competitive snowball so fast it’s embarrassing. is having an automail arm that’s going to be stronger than any organic arm cheating? maybe so but what are they gonna do? tell him to take his arm off? i think not. my man is going to win.

entrapta (0/?)

goes to build a wreath and somehow makes something completely different. or builds a snowman and tries to stick electronic parts in it to bring it to life. chaotic but having fun.

esther mckinnon (2/4)

she is a sucker for stuff like this and will be having a lot of fun. trying all the creative stands and hanging around the food vendors.

glinda upland (0/?)

doing some shopping mostly and taking pictures (there will be a sexy santa picture for sure). may try building a wreath but who knows if it’ll be any good.

jin ling (0/?)

does not know how to social and will bring the dog as a buffer and though he will not get a picture with santa he may get her to lmao. will probably do some snowball fights

jaskier (1/?)

will be shamelessly getting several pictures with the sexy santas as well as doing some busking. likes the energy and will be having a good time. tries to act like he is above the holiday season but he is not.

kyoshi (0/?)

listen new years is peak time for gym business so part of her is trying to talk up her gym cause there’s a sale on memberships but will also want to do snowball fights. may also attempt ice skating if someone talks her into it, though she will be so bad at it. someone skate with her so she can faceplant.

lily evans (0/4)

may offer to help referee a snowball match and buying herself a few pairs of gloves cause she knows she runs cold.

michiru kaioh (0/?)

will be doing some painting. might even bring out her violin and play some christmas songs for any kids around. it’s not her usual sort of recital, but she does like any excuse to play some music. would be willing to attempt performing with anyone else doing some music

nie huaisang (1/?)

also someone out painting. ornaments are not his usual medium but he’s happy to trying. he likes the aesthetic of everything but will be complaining about the cold and going for several warm drinks.

redd (1/?)

running a trinket lottery! similar to his fourth of july lottery people can pay for a ticket, pull a paper, and be guaranteed a prize (all of which are probably worth less than the ticket itself) come say hi to him and spend some money

rita skeeter (1/4)

giving unwanted commentary on the snowball and snowmen competitions. maybe even taking bets. getting pictures with sexy santa. judging people’s gift choices. being a general menace.

tessa gray (1/?)

not really the type for big gatherings but she’s trying to have fun. may do a little shopping and attempt making a wreath. she will probably want to try ice skating too but will need company she doesn’t really know what she’s doing

struggling cause it’s cold enough that she has to wear shoes most of the time but will take them off to be very competitive in the snowball fights!

victor nikiforov (0/?)

will mostly be on the ice rink showing off, but also offering to help people who are nervous ice skating. if there’s any alcoholic warm beverages he will be drinking a bit

zagreus (1/?)

he is very excited to experience winter but is also very cold. will be stocking up on hats and mittens. he has never built a snowman before but he will be trying! it will be a disaster. will probably get pictures with both regular and sexy santa

zhongli (0/?)

may be offering to referee some snowball fights. mostly just exploring vendors. this is an old immortal who just likes seeing societies getting together, so he’s mostly happily sightseeing in it all.

#i will inevitably reblog this a few times today #will check out everyone else's starter calls in a moment #hw: starter call #hw: plot call #winter market
