i have so many passionate feelings about zhongli’s wrists and arms and i feel if i don’t say anything ill shrivel up and die anyway
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway here are my own personal thoughts cause its not good to keep your feelings bottled up you risk dying
anyway i love the gold i love the black, i love the gold veins and i love the black geo hands encrusted with gold cracks, i love the transition from gold to black
i always imaged a transition from human zhongli to his dragon adepti form. Like he starts off with gold veins then his hands turn gold then the rest of his arms turn black. Since the now exuvia has dark scales and a golden mane, as he transformed the black would turn into scales all over his body like across his torso, before the rest of his draconian appendages pop out, his tails his horns, but his head and feet are the last to change and then poof you have dragon morax.
Zhongli's gold has always been one of my favorite parts about him specifically his arms, like i love sleeveless outfits so when he showed up kind of swooned. I always kind of imaged that Zhongli's current vessels are forged from geo itself so if you were to cut him open all his black and gold elemental exterior would kind of drip out.
anyway personal favorite is the huge geo hands that surround him in the liyue cutscenes. I love the imagery of his "own" hands encasing him and holding him up before the world.
zhongli's pretty conservative except his archon statue displayed all over the nation for some reason but dont get me started on his body. i never felt that the gold was only on his arms i fully believe that is all over his torso like listen to me listen to me look at the exuvia look at zhongli now look back at the evuvia i want you to go through the aforementioned transformation steps i just mentioned and then walk with me, his entire chest can be gold and black and shit that is what i believe and that is the truth because i am never wrong and zhongli whispered it into my ear after we spent a passionate night together anway
when it comes to his wrists i believe his just controls how much it glows and how much power he displays. I have said this before sometimes his hands are black sometimes theyre gold and we've seen zhongli's wrists before and sometimes theyre pale and sometimes they go all the way up his foream so i really think he just fucks with it. Like Morax Mode he is loaded up with geo elemantal energy he's black and gold all over but in a casual setting only traces of gold remain
i would kill to see the big ass geo hands like really like really im begging im really crying please
anyway i just wanted to talk about it and i felt letting myself fester with this deep and fervent lust and longing was only going to make me unwell LIKE CAN YOU IMAGINE THE BLACK TURNING TO SCALES WHEN HE GETS SERIOUS THINK ABOUT IT THATS SO COOL
but zhongli wants to be a little pampered princess consultant so one can only imagine what the rest of his body looks like all we see are his silly feeties and his hands and wrist i feel like a victorian man seeing a woman's ankle like kya kee scandal this is a man in the most prudish outfit ever like he got that shit on permanently which in reality only begs the question of why his archon statue is like that when zhongli himself is always fully fucking covered why were you half naked his nipples are out and everything?
tldr: i think zhongli's whole body glows black and gold like everything glows only his extremities like his head and feet are spared but hes a natural shapeshifter so he probably does whatever i just really live glowing appendages

I’m back to thinking about SJ avatar style, so get ready for some rambling.
CW: mentions of trauma and abuse via administered electric shocks
One thing’s stuck in my head about this particular AU of an AU. Leading up to the revolution where animatronics are granted rights, I would think one of the main driving forces behind that is animatronics discovering the ability to bend as well. Up until then, they’ve been treated as machines beneath humans. Not all humans can bend, but they are the sole beings who can. That is, until animatronics discover on their own that they have the ability to bend water, air, earth, and fire—lightning, metal, lava, and ice, every and any iteration of the four elements—just like humans can.
I don’t think it would take them long to discover that they are equivalent to humans in this manner. So in an effort to control the animatronics and hide their bending prowess to further the mindset that humans are above machines, chi blockers would be introduced. Maybe in this specific world, it’s a chip inserted into the animatronics that keeps them from connecting to the elements or figuring out if they even can bend. But nothing can ever be kept silent forever, and when word gets out about this process, advocation for animatronic rights begins to ramp up full throttle. You can only bury the truth for so long before someone else comes around and digs it up.
That’s all to say that I believe the extraction of these chi blocking chips, while severely dangerous but doable with the correct knowledge and force, is exactly what the daycare attendants learn. It starts with Eclipse enduring a terrible cruel shock from the owners for not responding to their call quick enough. What they don’t account for is how this continued abuse is just what he needs in order to dismantle the chip that’s kept him from an intrinsic part of himself since his creation.
In the shadows of the daycare one night, he unscrews the panel in the back of his head, finds the partially working chip, and rips it out.
He blacks out and comes to hours later, hooked up to a charging port and the owners screaming at him because they’ve had to close the daycare for the day due to his supposed incompetence. His fragile wires in the back of his faceplate are still exposed, but the humans make no mention of it, having no understanding of what’s happened or what he’s done.
And that sets into motion what few other animatronics have come to learn on their own: that the chip is removable, and something crucial has been kept from their reach for far too long.
I think there would be a more violent uprising. Those who regain their bending are still outnumbered, but their message reaches the ears of the people who do care, and it becomes a unity of animatronics and humans demanding equal rights be granted. Freedom is still an uphill battle, but it doesn’t escape their grasp.
Like the events of SJ, I imagine that Sun, Moon, and Eclipse still don’t break free until animatronic rights have been established, and the owners have to kick them out. But there’s a strong chance that prior to that, Eclipse removes the chi blocking chips in each of his brothers’ heads, a methodical surgery that comes with the unfortunate need to fry the things first before they can be removed. And wouldn’t you know it, he just so happens to be a firebender with the unshakable urge to use his ability to take back what they are all owed.
He’s not as precise with his fire, still new to it aside from the secret snatches of hours he’s practiced creating it with his hands. He nearly ends up scorching Sun’s delicate wires, something that has him even more afraid to try it again, especially on Moon, but they need this freedom. They need to know like he does what was stolen from them. They need to have it to be ready in case… just in case.
Moon takes to his waterbending like a duck to water. He does have a brief incident where he accidentally gets spooked and ices his hands and nearly panics, but Eclipse melts it right off with a heated flash of his palm. Sun’s practice is a little less than stellar in his eagerness, not for lack of want but because his bending doesn’t come right away. It doesn’t click like it does with the others, and it causes a deep frustration in him that he might not be a bender like them. His frustration and disappointment grow until one night during a practice session following a truly rough day, he claims that it’s just not going to work and in a rather rare show of deep upset, he kicks a stack of crates, wanting to just channel out some of that hurt in a harmless way.
The ball of fire that shoots from his foot lights the crates ablaze, and the three brothers have to quickly stamp out the fire before it can grow. As soon as it’s controlled and doused, Eclipse rounds on Sun with pure excitement that shows the flames of hellfire in his very eyes, and he clasps Sun’s shoulders and proudly tells him that that’s what he needs to channel his fire. He needs anger, he needs rage, just like Eclipse. That’s how he can bend. Eclipse will show him how.
Sun is… not enthused by this. He’s not angry; he was just frustrated. A small moment of anguish because of how he wants to have this connection with his brothers. Moon doesn’t need anger to waterbend. It just dances to his call like it’s meant to.
But with no one else to teach him and with Eclipse being so proud of Sunny for being just like him, proving that he’s right about this, Sun can’t say no. He begins to learn the way Eclipse wants him to, and he struggles to voice his discomfort at needing rage to kindle his fire. It’s why it doesnt come as a shock to him that his fire staggers and fails to remain bright and beautiful after the small incident.
Sun isn’t angry, not truly. He was made for love and compassion and justice, but not anger. His fire is never as brilliant as his older brother’s, and though Eclipse keeps pushing him and encouraging him in the only way he knows, his own frustration at Sun’s inability to progress is still just under the surface. He blames the owners, of course. They’re the ones holding Sun back. They must be, since they’re to blame for everything else.
When they are freed, it is no less rough. But Sun is exposed to a whole world of possibilities, and in the long spans of Eclipse’s absence as he fights to make them survive, Moon spars with and teaches Sun what he’s learned. To their surprise, Sun is able to apply it to his own bending, and together, they create a bond built on striving to use their bending to make the city a better place. They train endlessly so that one day, they can use it to show their strength in the police academy.
It’s the first of many walls that build between them and Eclipse. And it highlights the forces behind their bending that let them become in tune with their core elements. Slowly realizing that this will be the start of what separates them, and the first time Sun and Moon turn their bending on Eclipse without holding back is when they’re detectives and jumping out of range of his sizzling dark blue fire.
That’s when they’re certain there’s no turning back now. Eclipse has already burned the bridge between them and now uses the very tool that he taught them how to wield against his own family. He has become like those he hates, those he blames and faults for the city’s imperfection. He lusts for power and control, and when the old daycare is set ablaze in searing blue fire one pitch black night, it’s just another step in that direction. And wouldn’t it be ironic if he starts the blaze with an electrical fire, envisioning all those days spent under the fury of the owners’ controlled shocks and using those horrid memories to fuel his anger as lightning turns to flames.
The detectives are powerless to do anything but fight back, and it leaves horrible scars that are visible to no one but them.
No one, that is, until the vigilante comes around.

Taking a trip to the land of Wind and breezes, we all find ourselves in the embrace of TheGoldDragon's lore and the fabulous characters that exist within the confines of the clan! So many wonderous stories to be had here, with a variety of colourful characters and even prettier dragons.
You are absolutely correct when you say Orange and Teal just work. And what a fine example that Ortha is. I hold such high regard for dragons that make their apparel work incredibly well with their colours they were hatched with. And damn Ortha. Packed, sent, delivered. And the lore? Oh their lore is an amazing read. A dragon with history that's as wonderous as theirs deserves to be shown off to the masses. Read upon it, I encourage you. Hardly disappointed in any way.
The appeal behind Faun is honestly, just self indulgent. Reading through her lore, and just enjoying the second in knowing that she is just an ass. A genuine 'mean character for the sake of being mean' and you know what? Good for her. Let there be characters like her. Into everyone's business without being directly involved. Because when you sit down over food and tea, anyone's business is now your business. Good for her using her natural baking talents to good use; well her own beneficial use.
Personally, I don't know what I was going to expect when I selected Usagi from the list. Seeing his appearance you think 'typical pirate'. And when I read his lore. Not quite so typical pirate in the slightest. A mute Fae is one thing, a mute Fae having joined a bunch of rough housing and rowdy dragons aboard a pirate ship is an entirely different thing all together. And I love it. Genuinely love it. Faes are one of the wild cards for their lore; with how they're naturally devoid of outward expression, this guy is just peak interest grabbing. Oh the adventures he has no doubt had!
My love for blacksmith dragons know no bounds. So you absolutely know when I saw Capala, she was going to be shown off in all her glory. But she's not just a blacksmith, no that would be doing her disservice. She is also a leatherworker. An amazing art that takes so much time and dedication. And the hardy dragon she is, no doubt she puts a lot of love and care into that craft. A good hearted, if quick to temper dragon, she is very deserving of her place in the review, and I encourage you all to witness the bustling location she has her work.

Hello, sweetheart! I had an idea after seeing your Azshara artwork (where you sliiiightly altered her outfit), but am literally way too bad at drawing to try it myself. There is this ancient (from 2012 even!) artist who played around with 3D WoW models and created their own Highborne outfits. Here's some of their work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGcyblVl0Yg . I wonder if you could try drawing yet another Azshara inspired by one of these artists' outfits (if the work caught your eye, that is)? I don't want to underestimate how perfect of a mix your cute artstyle and these magnificent models combined could end up being.
Oooh anon yes I remember seeing these ages ago!! I looked up 'highborne outfits' and this artist came up and I found them sooo pretty.. I will totally draw another Azshara! I adore night elves, especially the highborne for their fashion and eccentricity heheh.. Was also thinking of drawing Lady Vash too, mayhaps.. practicing some of the skin tones and all :3
I first have to finish this blood elf + high elf duo bust, hopefully that and Azhsara will be out by Sunday! ^_^ (as long as I don't play too too much BG3 heheh) Thank you a lot for the lovely message and the recommendation! <3

thinking about my mutant babies and christmas.
michelle loves christmas. it's the best time of the year according to her. the feelings, the lights, the decorations, the food! there is so much she loves. i think in her gifted/underground verse she (with help from others) teleports and gather presents for the kids and food. probably exhausted rest of christmas day but it was worth it. she doesn't care if she gets anything. that's not what christmas is about for her.
benjamín also likes christmas, but he does get a bit homesick. he misses the amazing food and seeing all the beautiful lanterns across the sky. he misses his family. a lot. but he tries to do his best - creating golden ornaments and taking long christmas naps (preferably with his gorgeous fire girlfriend). in the beginning he tries to be in the background, still not liking being around too much people, but it changes. all thanks to charlotte.
violet... is complicated. she loved christmas before she became a mutant. she loved singing carols while decorating the trees and opening presents in her pjs! but now she mostly keeps to herself. avoiding others. she feels sad and lonely. will live in her pjs during christmas time. and in her bed. she can't wait until it's new year - then she can put on a whole damn electric show.

Malachi 3:3 Purified To Offer Righteousness
He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3:3 Metals are heated up to a melting point in order to get the garbage removed from it. The process is done to purify the metals in order to make the metal more valuable.

What Determines the Value of Silver Dollars
The Historical Significance of Silver Dollars
Silver-dollars have a distinguished historical legacy that dates back to the late 18th century. In 1794, the United States Mint introduced the very first silver dollars, rapidly establishing them as a symbol of national pride. This enduring sense of patriotism has transcended generations, leading to the production of silver dollars adorned with captivating designs featuring iconic figures such as Lady Liberty, presidents, and the Bald Eagle. Consequently, these coins hold profound historical significance, making them highly sought after by collectors and history enthusiasts. If you're interested in buying or selling gold and silver, you can connect with Kolkata's top gold sellers and buyers.
To grasp their historical value, consider the Liberty Seated dollar, minted from 1840 to 1873, which can command prices as high as $73,563!
Understanding Intrinsic Value
The intrinsic value of a silver dollar is rooted in the precious metal it contains. Historically, silver dollars were composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Presently, the U.S. Mint crafts contemporary silver dollars in a limited edition, featuring 99.9% pure silver, as exemplified by the 2019-P Apollo 11 50th Anniversary silver dollar.
Key Factors Influencing Numismatic Value
While intrinsic value is connected to the silver content, the numismatic value of a silver dollar is influenced by several unique factors, including
a. Rarity: The rarity of a silver dollar can significantly impact its value. Coins with lower mintages or those with historical significance are often highly sought after by collectors.
b. Condition: The condition or grade of a silver dollar is another crucial aspect in assessing its value. Collectors and grading agencies, such as PCGS, evaluate factors like wear, damage, and overall coin preservation. Silver dollars in uncirculated or mint state conditions often command higher prices due to their superior quality. For top-notch refining services, you can connect with the best refining services like Rahul Refinery.
c. Design and Variation: Silver dollars featuring unique or rare design elements often carry a premium value. Certain minting errors, special editions, or variations in the design can enhance a coin's desirability and worth among collectors. Key factors to consider include the coin's date, mintmark, and any associated errors.
Assessing Silver Dollars
If you own or plan to acquire these special coins, it's essential to engage in thorough research and seek professional appraisals.
These coins represent a captivating journey through America's history and offer an intriguing opportunity for both collectors and investors. Whether you're a dedicated collector or a savvy investor, the realm of silver dollars offers a unique blend of history, artistry, and financial potential, rendering them invaluable treasures in their own right. Rahul Refinery can provide you with the best services for buying and selling gold.
