Something about the stories of Trigun & Hadestown

Something about the story of Orpheus and Eurydice being retold for generations. Something about the story of Trigun getting to be told in three different versions (four, if you consider that there are two mangas).

Something about red flowers being the key symbol in Hadestown, with Orpheus singing dead trees to life and bloom in a gesture of undying hope. Something about Rem's sacrifice turning the blossom of a red geranium into a symbol of determination and kindness.

Something about the lost gentleness and bliss of spring. Something about the lost paradise of the once prosperous Earth, which forced the mankind to eplore the frontiers of distant galaxies.

Something about the souls of the dead in Hadestown living with their heads bent down, silenced by their own fear and indifference. Something about the people of Gunsmoke doing the same, believing there's no other choice but to succumb to violence and afraid to raise their voices and speak out against it.

Something about both stories commenting upon how humanity is sacrificed for the sake of survival.

Something about Hades, the King of the Mine, being crippled and blinded by his greed and loneliness and despair and jealousy untill he can't see nor recognise anything other than the needs of the Underworld, but really just his own. Something about Knives being driven by the fear he hides deep within himself, only caring about Vash and their sisters and claiming it's the good of the plantkind that he aspires to achieve, but in actuality just nurturing his own old hurt.

Something about them both loving to the point of obsession and suffocating the ones they love with how they portray what is best for them.

Something about Persephone being blinded by a river of wine, living in an Oblivion and trying to drown her sorrow in alcohol. Something about Vash's issues with alcoholism deteriorating upon the realisation that him going to confront Knives is a march made towards ruin and despair, his goals as good as suicidal.

Something about the Fates always singing in the back of your mind, defining the outlines of people's lives. Something about Knives and Vash's sisters in a hive mind deciding on the fate of humanity in relation to their kind at the end of the story.

Something about each of the two narratives showing how life and love endures, even in trying times.

Something about hunger and biting the hand that feeds because you're starving for more. Something about taking what you can get and making the most of it. Something about the people of No Man's Land pushing the plants to their physical limit and sentencing them to agony of the last run because they see no other option.

Something about 'What you gonna do when the chips are down, / Now that the chips are down?' Something about the pods of the project SEEDS crash-landing on a barren and desolate planet.

Something about the chorus singing 'Cast your eyes to heaven / You get a knife in the back!/ Nobody's righteous, / Nobody's proud, / Nobody's innocent'. Something about how Wolfwood dies the instant he finally commits to Vash's ideals, for the first time in his life choosing to believe.

Something about Orpheus teaching Eurydice that there's still hope for the better. Something about Wolfwood starting to regain his trust in humanity through Vash.

Something about Orpheus being capable of seeing how the world could be, in spite of the way that it was. Something about Vash stubbornly refusing to stop believing there's inherent goodness in every person's soul.

Something about how Eurydice is destined to die in each telling of the myth because the story is non-existent without Orpheus' loss of her. Something about how Wolfwood is doomed by the narrative, being a dead man walking since the very beginning.

Something about Orpheus leading his one true love out of Hell. Something about Wolfwood leading Vash in instead, guiding him to his end.

Something about Orpheus singing 'Wait for me!' on his way down under the ground. Something about Vash rushing to that smoking ruin which the Hopeland Orphanage became in order to help Wolfwood, fearing that he's late.

Something about Orpheus looking back. Something about Vash bringing his century-and-a-half long run from every and all attachments to a hault and finally stopping to look at the person before him, for the first time in his life allowing himself to believe in a future spent together with someone.

Something about Orpheus losing Eurydice the moment he turns to cast a glance behind him. Something about how the next thing Vash learns after admitting that he wants to spend his tomorrows with Wolfwood by his side is that Wolfwood is dying.

Something about Orpheus reaching the end of the road out of the Underworld all alone. Something about Vash ending his journey the same way.

Something about knowing how the story ends and still beginning to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time. Something about how 'far from here, in a distant time and place, the same song of humanity... still sang'.

Something about love. Something about grief. Something about tragedies.

Something about how, after all, we're still singing.

There's something profoundly meaningful to be said about all this, and maybe some day I will be insightful and witty enough to put my scrambled thoughts into neatly-organised, clear-cut sentences, but for now it will be like that.

#i'm testing out what tags do #these things are weird #i've never used them so #what should i say #fun fact: there is a mathematical theorem (i think)?#it's called fourier curves #it's where you can have any amount of rotating arrows #so you can control their lengths #the spin rate #and you can attach them onto each other's tips #and the furthest arrow draws a line #and you can make any shape you want from a combination of arrows and spin speeds and such #i think that's pretty cool #alright i think i'm done

Recently I've noticed that people have been drawing my monster dca designs (e.g. cryptid Eclipse and moth Moon) without giving me credit or mentioning me. I want to make it clear that I want to be credited when you draw my designs.

I've worked very hard on all of them (especially cryptid Eclipse who I've spent a large part of this year designing) and they're all very important to me.

Seeing the designs being used without credit is honestly very disheartening and demotivating.. so please, if you draw them (which I'm completely fine with btw!) please credit me.

#I want to say real quick too! I'm not mad at the ones who have done this!#I do not want to call them out and I do not want anyone to be mean to them! Please let them be #I understand that maybe not everyone knows that these are my designs in the first place #That's why I want everyone who knows they're my designs to credit me so people know where the designs came from #alright that's all I think #Thank you for reading ♥️

#trigun stampede #trigun #meryl stryfe #nicholas d wolfwood #vash the stampede #i cant even elaborate on this episode bc ive spent all day Thinking about it yesterday #and it made me Miserable #i just want to see vash have some autonomy again...#he is a little bit more on the quieter end for stampede as less angry about things but i dont think he's more of a coward in stampede #even though he was transported into his memories and saw and heard those terrible things from the kids and wolfwood #he was able to gather himself and keep going #his resilience has always been the strongest and also saddest thing about him #so it killed me irreversibly when he lost the one person who he could always look back to reliably #the fact knives couldnt even alter anything in rem's dialogue within those memories just stands for how strong her place is in vash's memory #and potentially knives just knows that would be too ooc of her to make in any Universe if she had something horrible.#man. I TALKED ABOUT THIS IN LIKE ALL 3 PLATFORMS. I'm alright with Knives as a character but jesus #- i did it all for you - im so sad that vash had to hear something like that. im so so sad about it #anyway i hope meryl stays safe shes done so much #i love her so much <3 #ruporas art

Zelda 2 comic sneak peek

I took out my old full-length Zelda 2 comic draft and chose a segment to make a short comic out of. It's missing context from the whole grand narrative of the entire story, but I think it gets the point across.

There were a couple potentials, and I ended up choosing the scene where Link discovers that his blood is the key to awakening Ganon. It's the most well-known plot point of the game in the LOZ fandom in general, besides the Prince of Hyrule plot. Throughout the comic, Link gets attacked by various monsters during his quest. He thought Hyrule was incredibly dangerous for merchants and travelers, but found out that it was only him encountering monsters at a high rate, thus targeted (that is not discussed in this short comic). This disturbs him a lot. And this is the scene when he discovers why he's a target. It's more than the monsters seeking revenge.

At some point in the game, the player is made to travel towards south-western Hyrule and use the Hammer on dueling peaks to enter and get a magic potion. You specifically enter the peak that is originally Level 9 in Zelda 1. I found that to be very... interesting. And suspicious. Why did the developers think "Okay lets have Link go back to the traumatizing final boss place from the first game to retrieve an item :D" It's kinda epic honestly and it gave me the idea: For the full comic, I made it that Link follows rumors and travels down there in the hopes of finding the magic book containing the revive spell, which is game-changing for the rest of his journey. Being the adventurer that he is, Link takes the risk and goes there thinking the place is long-abandoned and that Ganon probably no longer exists. Except, that isn't the case. (Okay I must add, after the revelation, Link loses his adventurous spirit and gets very serious with his quest. No longer enjoys exploring, which is all this Link is about. He starts developing Big Fears. This eventually spawns Dark Link. I wish I could make the entire comic but I know I can't T-T I should probably finish up and polish the draft and post it online for whoever is interested in a deep dive, lore-intense Zelda 2 story reimagining.)

It's the first time I do a 10 page comic, so I'm going through a learning curve right now xD It's going to be experimental, but I hope you enjoy it still. Here are some WIP shots. Still a while before it's completed.

#Long post #text #legend of zelda #classic link #zelda 2 #zelda ii #the adventure of link #zelda lore #I don't really like how the comic is looking or how it's paced buuutttt eh #Maybe after I scan and polish and add text it will look alright #I'm doing the whole thing on paper #but will definitely do major edits after scanning #Might be done in two or three weeks? give or take #Working on this in the evenings after work #Maybe I should practice my writing and write the whole comic instead of drawing it #with page illustrations >:3c I'm thinking.... I'm thinking...#I love zelda 2. a lot #8-bit games always give some much room for interpretation #especially when it has a fairy-tale like story #fairy-tales have this strange flexible quality of being as simple as you like or very complicated

Hello! This is my first time participating in an ask blog so I hope I'm doing it right!

To the lovely and wonderful author who has quickly become one of my favorite users on ao3: I’ve been following your series ever since Interlude & I wish I could give you a paycheck for how much thought and work goes into this series. But alas, I have no money and can only recommend your work to others.

showers Hershey and Mao with all the love and affection they want (I love these two so much and I will cry if anything happens to them-)

gives Baihe and Macaque a gift basket full of their favorite items and comfort foods

Ask Box is open again! As always, there are 4-6 slots before it closes again until next time :))).

Update: Guess what? You guessed it, the ask box is closed :DDD. Thanks to everyone who sent in an ask, they will be answered within the next few days before the box opens again!!!

love that rachel zegler is shitting on the original snow white movie as if it isn't the highest grossing animated film, ever. as if walt disney didn't use his own fucking house as collateral to finance it. as if a feature length colour animation wasn't revolutionary at the time and people didn't work overtime, invented animating mechanisms for the movie. as if it didn't win walt an oscar and make disney what it is today. as if snow white and the seven dwarfs (1937) wasn't a cultural milestone in hollywood history. as if snow white isn't worth anything today because she isn't Girlboss™. as if once upon a time, mirror mirror and red shoes didn't already make snow white an independent leader or whatever. as if it isn't the reason she's currently employed —

#so fucking done with her attitude #snow white doesn't need to be a girlboss slay queen #women don't have to be everything everywhere to be worth something #it's alright to choose love over your career it's alright to want a “prince charming” it's alright to be saved #the blatant disrespect to walt's legacy #he gave his ALL to make that movie and this twenty something thinks it wasn't good enough for 2023 #she's entitled to her opinion and she can act it however but show some fuvking respect #it's giving “I'm not like other girls ”#which is sad cuz i did enjoy rachel as maria and was looking forward to her in SW but uhh not anymore #snow white #snow white and the seven dwarfs #snow white 2024 #rachel zegler #disney

One thing I really enjoy about transition is when the changes in hormones slow down...

It feels like I am a house settling, shifting ever-so-slightly, and becoming one with this new foundation.

I don't have a "typical" body, but so do the other guys in my family. I look like them now. I've been told I looked like my father when he was a teenager, and I feel as though I am in the mentality I need to be in.

So many people are excited when they get all these new changes all at once, and then they might become disappointed when their second puberty starts to slow down, but I find I am the opposite. I am so much more at peace than I was before, and that's saying something when I was at peace a month into my changes.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i feel like my experiences are 'atypical' but like... my family is kinda that way #like the guys in my family have the same-ish body type i do so i haven't always been dysphoric about it #i was mostly dysphoric about the fact i don't and can't fit into the 'typical male' archetype #but like... my dad doesn't fit into that at all and nobody gives him shit for it so hey what do i have to contend with #i'm getting close to the three-year mark and from my observations that tends to be where your changes do still happen...#...but it isn't always as quick/intense as it once was. your body tends to settle down y'know? that's where i feel i'm at #like i'd appreciate more body hair on my stomach and my mustache kurtis but that could take a bit and that's okay #it takes years for a cis man with testosterone YEARS for his hair to mature sometimes #and tbh i think we should celebrate that. you are a fine wine; you will only become fuller and richer as time goes on #you'll mature into a full-bodied wine that lingers on your tongue and leaves you craving more #alright i'm done with the wine metaphor because i only know so little about wine and alcohol 👍

🌼Thank you, I'll say goodbye soon

Though its the end of the world,

Don't blame yourself now🌼

#safeutdr #undertale #song is goodbye to a world by porter robinson btw #okay so i like to associate certain music artists to characters that fit the general vibe i get from their music #for example i associate chara with mother mother and the oh hellos #and i feel like porter robinson fits asriel pretty well. especially since goodbye to a world always makes me think of him #my art #digital art #frisk #asriel #asriel dreemurr #frisk dreemurr #frisk undertale #asriel undertale #goodbye to a world #porter robinson #i love how this turned out but OH MY GOSH. drawing all those flowers was a pain i almost gave up.#I'm glad i didn't because they turned out alright. this is one of the most cohesive pieces I've ever done i think. like the bg matches #the characters #it was originally supposed to be less detailed but I'm glad i went ahead and shaded it and everything. :)

I just love how clearly well-planned this series is. How you can tell it was obvious that Naomi Novik knew exactly what she was doing with making El face that first mawmouth, what exactly there was about it that made it so horrible. And I know it won't happen soon, but I am looking forward to eventually rereading the series and just appreciating everything so. much. more. Because you can tell it will be one that will be so well put together that it will be amazing to look for the foreshadowing of everything.

#the scholomance #the golden enclaves #scholomance #seriously I just love everything about this series #alright I think I'm done for now
