Sunflower: sun or moon?

Moon moon moon

Tho I’m the type of ginger that has hair like sunlight itself, soooo

intelligent and poetic— she notices so many beautiful poetic things, but she convinces herself all she needs are base gith desires. she doesn’t need love or a family. she KILLED the only people she was raised with, because they were weak, or because they in turn tried to kill her. she is an egg in a clutch of stars. this world cannot be beautiful. it is not as big as the great expanse of space. everything is connected, through organization, domination, the need for logic through instruction of violence. i am the string that connects celestial bodies like pearls to plunder.

i am known and loved by my queen in my deep unspecialness and powerful subservience to her cause. i submit to no one else, unless they are ever more worthy of her love. i am superior to everyone else. she makes me strong, and i am just as bad as you, just as purposeless, and just as much a stranger in my body, without her gaze. i need to be known. i need to know, where i am, who i am to her. i need structure, i need to build my house on bones like concrete foundation, aching muscles like a tin roof, tainted blood like asbestos. where is my home, now? without their orders? yes sir, no sir, a soldier without a military, a knight without a queen, is a child without a Mother. the stars are so cold. i did not want to be warm. i was safe within the walls i put up, and the shame, the violence of my Mother’s cold, smart hand, that struck me soundly to shock me back to sleep.

if there is warmth, it can be taken. if there is weakness, it must be protected, and not just culled. fighting for what you love, for yourself, for what you alone believe—it takes more than respect, and dignity, and power, and the stubbornness she was raised into. it takes an un-malleable self-respect formed on truth and authenticity she has never known, the individuality her ancestors fought for long before vaalkith, eyes open to not the potential popping of inflated ego, but the tenderness of mutual kindness, and too-soft touch, not shades of grey in between the red of blood and black of death but every color and spread and shape of full-body bruise. things she has never wanted, until her mind was invaded, her conceptions shattered like glass—when she saw herself as a stranger and a newborn, through your eyes, and the connection her tainted infection laid her bear to waste.

FREEDOM, LOVE, TRUTH, BEAUTY, THE DECADENCE OF YOUR NOSE, THE STENCH OF SWEAT AND SHARP HEAT OF NEW FORGED SILVER.

hello, i’m herbert sherbert, 25+, (he/they), white and asian, vibing, lae’zel lover and appreciator. the rules are simple and sweet,

1. 20+ only.

2. tbh i don’t believe in anti vs pro shipping. pedophilia and incest are obviously bad, i will never support them, i will never rp relationships like that. but there are things i believe are safe to write in fictional spaces. villains, toxic relationships, and allusions to abuse and torture and war crimes. i love horror, i love manipulation and general fuckery, and there will probably be age gaps BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS and general enemies to lovers on this blog. lae’zel is tbh a pretty bad and selfish person who cares mostly about herself and her own people, expect some shitty behavior as well.

3. give me the benefit of the doubt, and i’ll give YOU the benefit of the doubt. if we don’t vibe, i’ll just block u. this doesn’t mean i think ur a bad person or untalented, i just don’t see us interacting in the future. extrnd me thr saem courtesy and smash that block button on me as well, i don’t want to secretly be making you uncomfortable.

that’s it, baybee!

[Image Description: Lorelei, a member of the Elite Four of Kanto, and her Lapras. Lorelei is a woman with light skin, long red hair in a ponytail, red eyes, and pink lipstick. She is wearing silver wire-frame glasses, a light blue crystal-shaped ponytail holder, a black suit jacket with silver collar and blue stripes on the sleeves, a pale blue belt with a light blue buckle, a pale blue undershirt with black accents, a black pencil skirt, tan nylon stockings, and black high-heeled shoes with blue toes and a design resembling snowflakes. Lapras is a large Pokemon resembling a plesiosaur with a grey bumpy shell on its back, having blue skin that becomes yellow on the underside, large brown eyes, swirled "ears", and a short horn on its forehead. The background is Lorelei's room in the Indigo Plateau. The wall in the back is orange, a large white door with an orange and white Pokeball design on the right. The floor is blue with a white and purple arena pattern, and a large icy pillar is on the left. End ID.]

“Welcome to the Pokémon League! I am Lorelei of the Elite Four! No one can best me when it comes to icy Pokémon. Freezing moves are powerful. Your Pokémon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid! Hahaha! Are you ready?”

Elite Four time baybee! Have an ice queen! I swear I can't think of Lorelei anymore without having that one Styx song of the same name stuck in my head. Not that that's a problem, of course, it's a good song!

And yeah, you've probably already noticed One Major Difference between this pic of Lorelei and the previous trainer artwork. I did, of course, use the Let's Go design for Lorelei instead of the FRLG design. Two reasons for this change, the first one being that the FRLG artwork of the Elite Four that I could find was of lower quality than those of the Gym Leaders, Leaf, Blue, and of course the Pokemon themselves, and while I will be referencing that artwork for their overall body structure due to the proportions being more in-line with my usual way of drawing people their Let's Go artwork was of much higher quality in terms of color sampling. The second being that, at least in the case of Lorelei and Agatha, I simply prefer their Let's Go designs and the way their outfits for Let's Go incorporate elements of their type specialties. Those two will be the only exceptions to the trend unfortunately; Bruno and Lance both show up in Heart Gold and Soul Silver and look close enough to their FRLG appearances for the color sampling to still be accurate (and iirc Bruno's look is also almost exactly the same in Let's Go as well!), so I will be using their FRLG designs as per everyone else.
