(613): I’ve seen your dick too many times for both of us to be straight.

(225): I am drunk shake weighting right now.

NOW TELL ME WHO THAT LOOKS LIKE

                                      I DID A THING

I commissioned a friend of mine, the amazingly talented Matt (go request a commission from him, he’s awesome).

Eat your hearts out, fandom. ;)

gentlebeings, Filoni said this last night. realistically, equal chances he meant Hera or Kallus imo, but let our headcanons be fed and our crops watered.

Once Kallus won the sparring match. 

But bo-rifle cockbloked them again.

Feline Frozen Treats

[image description: An ornate teacup with painted details around a lovely face floats above its saucer, which in turn floats above a dawn (or is it twilight?) landscape. Stars twinkle in the sky and the light of the golden hour illuminates the background. Rays of light emanate from the cup and light the banderole that spirals up from it. Text reads, “258, Ooh Long Long, the small god of the Perfect Cup of Tea”]

No one truly knows where she began.  China, absolutely.  That part is not contested.  But was she called into life by a healer adding dried leaves to hot water as a medicinal tonic?  Did a brisk wind blow fallen flowers into someone’s water, where they steeped unnoticed for hours?  Was it an accident or an intentional creation?  Whatever her origins, she was a discovery which has shaped human history, uplifted cultures and enabled atrocities.  She’s sorry about that last part.  She always knew she was delicious.  She never expected to be so delicious that people would cross a world to steal her from the places where she rightfully belonged, would use her as the backbone of empire whether she agreed or no.

But she is eternal and immortal, as enduring as the human need for peace and comfort, as familiar as a loved one’s hand, as calming as a childhood lullaby.  She stirs hearts and soothes stomachs, and she is a source of endless arguments, for everyone defines her differently.  Is she plain, water and vegetation and perfect?  Is she made with cream and sugar, or with spices, or using a special pot?  Is she steaming hot or room temperature or pleasantly chilled?

Some people use her as a base for other drinks, hot cocoa made with a base of tea, or as notes in perfume, and she loves those people too.  She is here to enhance lives, to be perfect, to be loved, and she’ll take that love in whatever form it comes.

But she’d really like it if people didn’t try that empire thing again.  That was awful.  Just drink your tea and enjoy the moment, and let the world be.

She’ll be there to hold your hand.

I made this as part of a fun art trade with mistr3ssquickly. It is a scene, one of my favorites too, from Brute Force, with Kallus high out of his mind after being whumped. Lyste is there too, the little awkward porg.

Secret Affair… I Imagine this is precisely when Hera happens to call. (Sweet, sweet revenge!)

Oh, sing sweet nightngale

The Illustrated Book of Manners: A Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments, 1866

Another one of these since i haven't done it in a while! Sketch -> finished illustration

Thoughts & process below the cut :>

Out of Bounds: i deleted the sketch of this off my ipad because i didn't like it, and for months it only existed as a screenshot on discord. finally in january of this year i was like Wait Actually and decided to keep working on it. I didn't achieve the look I was going for (kind of foggy and vague. It came out too sharp and high contrast) but it was fun to throw the kitchen sink at it for an afternoon and then call it done finally. I don't remember which horse this was originally supposed to be, I think Macha?

I reused the pose, you'll find the same one in my Pascal sketchbook from the section on gait studies. That's the cool thing about doing 30 sketches at once, you can finish them up any time you like for a different drawing

The Fool ft Islin: the original concept for this is from [takes a moment to decipher the american date system on discord] January 2022

It wasn't dynamic enough, but I've had this on the backburner for sooo long. I think I completed like 4 cards in between this sketch and the final version lol. But, for a bit of background, this is from my series of major arcana based in Inver, and in particular the events of the 1860s-era book series, Moth Viper Foal (a demo of the first book, Said The Black Horse, is available for free/pwyw in my shop). This scene is a companion to Said The Black Horse, depicting the aftermath of the traumatic fight that caused Islin to storm off. He had been working at the mill as a semiprofessional back alley surgeon when he received an offer to join the church and work as a trained surgeon in their hospital. But when he brought the good news back to his friends it was met with utter rejection, driving him to basically run away to join the church. while gay and trans. thus the card.

he didn't actually bring a bag with him when he ran out but for the sake of the card i drew him with one

Gryfon and Pantera: This is how 99% of holy beast drawings start out, even the super stylised ones. I struggle a lot to draw them in procreate so they start in sai and then i transfer them over. The story of this is already explained in the caption of the original post so I'll just talk about the process which was... honestly torturous. I actually don't like too much textures and effects on things (wild, I know) and this one and Out of Bounds are ones where I kind of preferred it pre-texturising.

The text on the side is the official in-universe report of the event, detailing the casualties, the valiant actions of Gryfon's knight before he died and so on. There's also spoilers in there :>

My main struggle with this art style is how it always ends up slightly TOO sharp and crisp in a way the just a blur filter never can correct. There's not a lot of immersion to break, to be fair, but I think this still does it a little. I need to get more comfortable doing the lines with larger and softer brushes, and allowing imperfections.

i love the Thrawn section of sw fans because it’s very niche but also the fan content is top-tier

I miss Thranto. I miss the way Thrawn drives Eli crazy. I miss Eli's loyalty to Thrawn. I miss Thrawn's trust in Eli. I miss the way they were fated to meet. To understand each other when no one else did.

I think it's time to restart the Thrawn 2017 audiobook.

pov you gave thrawn a report but he was in the middle of training

Samakro & Thalias!

I meant it for Saint Valentine’s day, cause what could be better for SVD then a deja moo.

(Also hope, that deja moo idiom works fine. Sometimes I feel myself a bit Thrawn).

Ar'alani: How many kids do you have?

Thrawn: Biologically, emotionally, or legally?

Chiss Officer: How...how many children do you have, sir?

Ba'kif tiredly: Biologically, emotionally, or legally?

…from now on my aesthetic is gonna be Gucci Jedi…

Jedi council: How many kids do you have?

Obi-wan thinking about his disaster son-brother Anakin, His sort of daughter figure Ahsoka, His sort of love child Korkie : Biologically, Emotionally or legally?

Chin rubs run in the family.

I've been looking around the holonet today to see what kinds of treasures are on the archives of a few blogs. There is a beautiful diversity of people out there, but I've noticed that you all seem to have one thing in common.

You all REALLY like shirtless clones!

It's time.
