The stressful hot and dry summer followed by a near freeze and week plus of 40s followed by several weeks of 60-80 have led to this redbud (Cercis canadensis) tree flowering and setting new leaves.

It should be fine, but next year might not be a great flower show.

Idk why but drawing the squad with these faces would be funny for some reason-

(yes I know the Room is super obscure compared to the others. Idc, he's my favorite blorbo.)

S/O to @very-tired-child!! His posting about Places That Are Characters (and his excellent humanizations) are what inspired my own spin on the idea.

"Annotated" versions under the cut.

If you're still doing the art requests, would it be okay to request Metal Sonic and Shadow acting like siblings towards eachother? /POS, /NF.

Doodle Request #7

I got a couple inbox things asking if I'm still doing doodle requests, and yeah, I am. I'm just using them to fill in dead air while my Twitter account is posting stuff longer, normally when I'm posting multiple parts and stuff I already posted here. So it won't be very frequent that I post the doodle requests, sorry if that's what you thought was gonna happen.

didnt realize that it might not be so easy to keep track of all this stuff outside of my head until an anon asked me about it so hopefully these will help a little😅

I have so many Thoughts

Maglor with that silly overly ornamented videogame armor (Curufin made it as a gag gift)

johto’s champion and chronicler for the deity of the ilex shrine, it’s lyra!🌿

this one took me a while due to trying out different techniques (studying a Lot of art nouveau) and making a couple changes to her outfit (the details help), but I’d like to think she’s learned a lot in her journey and wanted to reflect her experience more in her champion fit

her specialty would be in fairy types and her meganium’s divergent evolution is grass/fairy 🧚🪷

and a bonus w/ the johto gang after the photoshoot!

The new Cad art is so girl. To me

literally. Girlduceus They

Can't stop thinking about Yamchas face when Pu'ar inquires about his credit score

does your ancestors is gay

jedi survivor is so fucking good. except when it crashes. or when i try the force tear challenges (hatred is not the jedi way but whoever crafted the smuggler's tunnels force tear makes a damn good argument for the dark side). i'm playing on jedi master difficulty rn and having an ABSOLUTE blast.

Not to get pedantic (oh who am i kidding that’s most of this blog) but I am genuinely fascinated by the potential applications of the established canon in HoO and TOA that the gods canonically have both historic and regional forms, and can appear as specific versions of those forms and have kids of those specific forms, which influence what powers the kid has/what pantheon they fall under/etc etc (and also the implication that demigods can be born under multiple forms of a singular deity). This is somewhat backed up even earlier in the first series when we’re told that Percy has earthquake powers because of his father being Poseidon “The Earthshaker” (which is Mycenaean Poseidon) - which could also tie into why Percy generally takes leadership roles, is hopping in and out of the Underworld a lot, and is apparently particularly powerful for even just a Big 3 kid, since all that would line up with Mycenaean Poseidon being generally put at the head of the pantheon and also being a chthonic deity.

Now this gets really interesting when we start looking at deities being combined and conflated, because a.) the Romans weren’t the only ones doing that and b.) the Romans had their own gods originally, they didn’t just take the Greek ones and slap a new name on them. They merged a lot with their own preexisting deities alongside adopting worship of deities from other cultures as the Romans spread (and the Greeks also did this), and c.) the ancient Greeks and Romans did exist at the same time.

Like, we know in terms of the Greeks and Romans that if their godly parents are “equivalent” then their demigod children are siblings, just like if Greek demigods have the “same” godly parent then they are also siblings. However, very few Greco-Roman gods are one-to-one, and a lot are like three gods in a trench coat, and then if you want to get into historical forms then you can start running into weird things like “Well, if you go back far enough, these two Greek gods may have originated from the same thing-” and also if we’re talking historical forms, again, the Greeks and Romans existed at the same time! Which means there would be historic forms of godly parents that are both Greek and Roman! So like, where do we go from there? Would Hazel be equally siblings to a child of Plutus as she is to Nico because both Hades and Plutus were conflated into Pluto? Orcus was also conflated with Pluto - does that mean when Nico killed Bryce Lawrence, he was killing his half-brother? (cause then that parallels just a couple chapters later when Will faces off against Octavian-) Are there demigods who, depending on their godly parents’ form(s), are technically both a Greek and Roman demigod? If Hermes and Pan possibly originated from the same god, does that mean all the satyrs are siblings with the Hermes kids? If we want to get into all the nonsense of Dionysus’ origins and Zagreus and Hades, does that mean Nico is technically siblings with Dionysus kids? Does Dionysus joke about this during their therapy sessions? Are some demigods in certain cabins siblings with kids in other cabins but each others’ siblings aren’t siblings depending on what form their godly parents were in?

I have a headache now.

can someone explain tree law to me? I'm european but wanna be excited too
