Ashley Jackson - Ennanga

Harpist Ashley Jackson explores the musical and spiritual connections between various forms of American musical expression in her new album, Ennanga. Through the works of notable Black composers who have redefined musical landscapes, the album celebrates the centrality of the African American spiritual to the history of American music. Ennanga features The Harlem Chamber Players and Jackson's harp transcriptions of works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Alice Coltrane, as well as original compositions by William Grant Still and Brandee Younger.

(do not) love how femme has become aestheticized to the point where low-income folks that can’t support themselves financially develop imposter syndrome bc they’re unable to relate to everybody else posting about their expensive self care products/jewelry/clothing and how it’s intrinsically linked to their identity

#mine #remember that non feminine femmes exist #whether it be a result of personal choice or circumstances beyond their control #and before somebody gets on my case and says something like ‘people can have nice things’ i never implied the opposite #i simply wish that people would stop acting like the amount of bright shiny frilly pink things you own quantifies how femme you are #this is about lesbians btw

@vashmerylweek Day 2

Mythology AU:

Storm spirit (aka ‘The Typhoon’) Vash and Sea Nymph (aka Nymph of the Bright Sea) Meryl meeting in the eye of a storm

#trigun #vashmeryl #vash the stampede #meryl stryfe #trigun maximum #trigun stampede #trigun 98 #newtsdoodles #I love a good mythology au #I had a lot of thoughts about this #like how when they meet it ‘calms the storm’ lol #vashs hair is a mix of cirrus and lenticular clouds which are often precursors to a rain storm; as well as the classic cumulonimbus clouds #Meryl’s scales are bright and shiny but she also has darker scales on her back so that looking down or up it’s hard fo see her #like the thing with great white sharks

Smiley’s room 2.0 LOVECORE EDITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally finished working on this one! Took longer than I thought, but semi-enjoyable experience adding all the details and coloring so many things in rainbows. Plus adding small references here and there, lemme know if you spotted any

PS: I couldn’t find any place to put Smiley’s gamer stuff so just pretend it’s in one of her cabinets. Was able to put her xylophone tho! So I guess that’s something.

for our phantom menace rewatch this week we are doing a “qui gon touch count” to count how many times qui gon (bad) touches anakin

#and also the other characters (they wanna know how many times he touches shmi but idc about that i’m here for groomer reasons)#my prediction is: ANAKIN then shmi then... i go back and forth on whether it's padme or obi wan #i want it to be padme and obi wan in dead last (for extra pathetic and sad unwanted padawan reasons)#it's so hard to age out of being an (unwanted) boywife and be replaced by a bright shiny young thing #but if padme even PADME gets touched by qui gon more than his own padawan #damn lol #touch starved obi wan real #but unfortunately for me i think he touches obi wan thrice that i recall and i can only think of once (or maybe twice?) with padme #but that's why we're doing the touch count!#i will report back with my findings tonight #i'm so gd excited #the phantom menace #pt #star wars #qui gon jinn #anti qui gon jinn #if implying that qui gon is a child molester is considered anti I GUESS #prequels touch count

shady guy...

#clotted cream cookie #cookie run #cookie run fanart #cookie run kingdom #crk fanart #my art #will never get tired of drawing clotted looking shadowy and sinister and edgy and tired and angsty #thats his appeal.... perfect prince looking guy but there's something off...#2% connivingness...#his face shadowed on his gacha banner...#the aesthetic contrast of his bright white golden shiny colors and clothes and shadowy darkness...#also drawing him shadowed like this looks sinister but #it also reads sympathetic... bc when i draw him like this i imagine hes bottling up and holding back a lot of things #like anger and resentment... but just having to swallow it down #clenching his fists hidden under his cape #so i like that ambiguity #of being able to read the shadowed expression multiple ways #(im thinking sympathetically while drawing him ofc skfjdk bc i care abt him😔

if i know one things for sure about lucy, she's not going to be a sad beige mom!!

#*carly catalogs #the rookie #lucy chen #chenford #she's too bright and colorful herself to deprive her kids like that #plus having colors is pretty detrimental to a kids development let them have bright colorful shiny things!!!!!#cannot believe there are parents out there spray painting their childs toys and other belongings to fit their bland aesthetic it's so gross #chenford's babies nurseries are going to have colorful walls no and's if's or but's about it lol

soooo since i am just ROLLING AROUND IN my chenford brainrot, i just rewatched the ep where lucy and jackson each have plans with fam to celebrate graduating to being P2s

and all i could think during that heartbreaking scene with lucy and her mom being super shitty and unsupportive AFTER lucy was all optimistic about thinking her parents were finally coming around to her choices and she was making lotus soup for them and i just-- UGH

my lovely girl was so heartbroken crying at her kitchen counter and all i wanted for her was to have another chance to make that soup to celebrate something else (maybe a promotion?) with tim and tamara

it got me thinking-- i know how in regards to chenford, it's super obvious how lucy is the sunshine brightening up tim's life because that boy has been THROUGH IT

but can we talk about how tim also brightens up lucy's life as well?

like imagine the crushing pain from feeling like you're a constant disappointment to your parents-- like even if you're happy, you're parents don't care unless they are happy first and foremost? I FEEL THAT ON SO MANY LEVELS (seriously, i let out a daughter-of-asian-immigrants primal scream when lucy's mom was like, "BE A DOCTOR THEN!")

i'm sure lucy had never felt secure in any of her choices (which honestly bleeds into how one views oneself)... but as time went on during her training and her time as a P2 and in UC, tim is there to reassure her that she IS good at things, and that she SHOULD NOT second guess herself because she has good instincts

AND SHE BELIEVES HIM

and it makes her more confident in herself, it makes her braver to see herself as "worth the effort" and now they're in love and i just- i am on the floor

he brightened up her world just as much she brightened up his and i think that's beautiful

#i love the way that he is also a positive bright and shiny thing in her life #and not just her being the positive bright and shiny thing in his #because more often than not that's what happens with the sunshine and grump trope #i am just so in love with the fact that they never fall into that trap #thoughts are kind of a mess #can you tell i am SICK over them?#chenford #lucy chen #tim bradford

time princess players how do y'all picture the MCs of every story

like since every set and piece of official art has a different hair colour, length, and style with every picture of them, and sometimes there's descriptions that don't match the images, which one do you go with

and do you make half of them look like your avatar or have your own designs

#dutp #time princess #when playing/viewing it through the ''story traveler'' lens #i often justify the hair colour changes in-universe by headcanoning that it's story kingdom magic that allows you to change your hair colou #by default i make half the mcs look like (taller versions of) me/my avatar (who's designed after me but with purple eyes) to some extent #but there are exceptions #like if the mc isn't white i'm obviously not gonna base her design off myself #except Maybe giving her my/my avatar's hair length #and if a spinoff shows the mc i'll often use that design #i always pictured zoya blonde until the salvia spinoff story came out and showed her with the light brown hair from that one set #it also described zoya as having black eyes which i went with #i didn't have a locked in eye colour headcanon for her before but i didn't really picture her with eyes that dark #probably because none of the album art gave her black eyes #though eye colours tend to be inconsistent in this game #nastia's described with gray eyes but that one album art gives her blue eyes #and on the flipside charlotte's described with blue eyes in one side story but her model doesn't have blue eyes #nor does at least one album art of her #i give virtually every mc long hair just because most of the hairstyles in those sets require it #i always picture cordelia with dark hair and ocean green-blue eyes #like a vivid teal colour. just fits someone whose name means ''daughter of the sea''#and sometimes i have her stop shaving her legs when she becomes a pirate because a) she lives on a boat #and b) representation of her leaving behind that gilded-cage life of fancy etiquette and ''you must become a perfect wife and mother''#in which she did everything society demanded of her at the expense of her own happiness #like yeah after escaping that i Will make cordelia stop shaving her legs. for the symbolism. and the fact that she lives on a pirate boat.#i always give aurora that pastel-almost-white shiny gradient dyed hair #because a) it's in half the sets b) it looks so so so cool c) it looks great next to the companions i ship her with #matches with novi and gives her a light-dark duality with selene's dark purple hair #idk her natural hair colour but i also give her the creepily pale eyes from Silent Night Rebirth #to match the pastel clothes she's so often in. this is not her natural eye colour either. hey that's p clearly a common thing in this city #i strongly doubt that selene's eyes are naturally that bright blueish purple

imagine for me

a robot who wants to be a human- no, a breathing, pulsing living being.

it felt like its code doesn't match well with its body, and has always refer to itself as a soul trapped in a metal bar cage.

it wants its wires to be veins, its chest plate as an actual chest, its sensors to explore more of the living's natural senses, its arms travelling and transferring blood instesad oil and motor

so what does it do?

stuff the organs it harvested into its body to feel whole

it crouches on its idol's body, scooping its remains and shoved them into its opening chest plate. lungs, hearts, guts and livers

everything it could get its cold, bloodied, deserving hands on

it felt fleeting, heavenly, the bloody pool beneath it growing as its body shuts it tight, the stolen organs kept safe in it

it felt like it's finally living.

anyways teehees :3 :3

- 📦

THIS WAS LITERALLY SEN5 BACK IN FEBRUARY BUT YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!

YESYESYES THIS IS SO EVERYTHING!!!!!! Seeing the dripping, red flesh secreting from its own body and, if only for a moment, it feels like it is truly just as organic as the corpse laid its feet, and its perfect <3 UGH BRILLIANT I LOVE IT

There's so many ways to interpret this and have it explored and frankly I will embarrass myself if I elaborate but know that I have been thinking about this ask since the day I got it <3<3<3

#asks #anon #📦 anon #DREAMY SIGHHHHHH #i 💜 gore as a means to make your body feel more akin to one you've wished for <3 #just. like.#it could be jealousy. it coukd be idolization. it could be mourning. it could be relief.#hearing how humans talk of their own existence and misinterpreting it to justify itself #a sentiment of how humans are messy and visceral and complicated thats meant to be more in the emotional aspect #being taken literally as the robot picks out every organ in the humans body #truly it /is/ a messy process. one filled with blood and torn muscles and pesky bones #truly it /is/ visceral. it is bright red and it is flowing and sprayed across the floor and the shiny casing of the robot #truly it /is/ complicated. its so hard to take one thing without damaging another. but its not like it hasn't stufies human anatomy before #its just so. ITS SOOOOO #im normal 😁#gore #cw gore #robot gore #robot tag #blood
