What? I Had To Draw A Happy Post Game Where We Save The Dreamers And Myla.

Want help creating Warrior Cats OCs? Come on over and read a free encyclopedia of warrior cat names!

I apparently had too much time on my hands 3 years ago and decided to create an encyclopedia of Warrior cat suffixes.

I listed all the suffixes used in Warriors at the time, cataloguing where the names were used, how often, why they were used, and made-up meanings for each suffix like names in real life. Click the link below to read it!

Reblog with your warrior cat ocs!

You can say that again Buddy! Humans are so crazy unique that it's not even funny!

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

This looks so cool! There are only so many human designs for Pokemon that feel like they fit the original Pokemon. This evolution line is one of them!

Okay, this could actually make sense. Also explains how the White Lady could know everything going on in Hallownest.

Alright, here me out...

What if the White Lady is a fungus?

(also have this old artwork I never posted)

I want everyone to know that this is me every time someone drops a comment on something I've written:

I have been looking for pictures like this. Someone needs mama cuddles.

Don't mind me. Need this for reference.

Paul's been expecting the Shovel Talk from Percy for a while. He's an only child, teenaged boy, son of a Greek god whose mother's ex-husband used to abuse her so he was pretty much certain it was going to happen. The content of such talk was the surprise. Sally's a bad ass.

“Eleven dollars,” the cashier says, passing them their assorted snacks in a plastic bag. Paul hands over his card. Then, almost as if on an afterthought, the cashier adds: “He your son?” Paul freezes. The thing is, he wants to say yes. He wants to believe that both Percy and he think the answer is yes. But what if Poseidon smites him for daring to claim his son? The sea god is real. Paul doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life as a barnacle on the bottom of a ship.

Misunderstandings, Good friend Hermes, Protective Paul Blofis

Percy wakes up with a start. His eyes focus, and the same face is staring down at him. The same blue eyes, the same elvish features, same skin tone- Before he knows it, Percy lunges up, grabbing Luke with one hand, uncapping riptide with the other, kicking out with a leg and twisting until Luke is pinned underneath him. Percy slashes with riptide, forwards, under Luke’s neck until- Hands appear in front of his neck, stopping the blade from touching. Golden blood emerges, staining the celestial bronze blade. Golden blood? Luke doesn’t have golden blood. Breath heaving and confused, Percy looks up at Luke’s face. The large, intrusive scar that runs down Luke’s face isn’t there. His hair isn’t blonde, it’s brown. His eyes aren’t glowing golden. The presence that Kronos emits isn’t there. It’s not Luke. But if it’s not Luke, then that means - Oh no. Oh no no no. It’s Hermes.

The only real difference in this hallway, in this building, is Percy. He’s taller than the door’s peephole now, when he used to have to jump up on his toes to see through it. It’s small. It’s so small. It’s such a pointless detail, but Percy knows he doesn’t belong anymore. AKA: Percy goes home.

Chapter 1: Their new place has rooftop access, which Percy has a hunch was a deliberate choice on his mom’s part. It’s tight, but it’s just about the right size for a Pegasus landing pad, just in case he ever needed a quick, supernatural pickup. It’s also where Paul has been for the last half hour, processing the huge revelation the two of them just dumped on him. (Between BotL/TLO, immediate post-Paul reveal).

What is with the Dreamers' Houses?!?! Part 3.9 Ballroom and Resting

Now, Lurien's patriotic nature is quite famous in the community. Let us discuss a room that is not talked often about: Lurien's ballroom.

Also known as, the Boss room for the Watcher Knights. People scarcely remember that this boss room was a ballroom once just as often as they remember that Lurien canonically had 15 Watcher Knights, not just 6.

Could you imagine attending a ball here? The wide space surrounded by huge windows that allow you to see the whole City of Tears? Massive chandeliers that allow you to dance the night away till dawn? The drapes that offer a chance to prank a fellow guest…or sneak a kiss. If you want a closer look at the chandeliers, here is the best shot I got.

Goodness! Lurien could have taught Hornet or Hollow how to dance here!

 What does this ballroom tell us about Lurien's character?

For one, it hints that the Watcher duties included some social aspect. One does not need a ballroom unless the person has a formal event. (Unless you need to transform the room into an emergency kitchen and shelter. Though usually, I've seen it the other way around where someone transforms a commons to a dancefloor.)

While we do not know who would attend these social events hosted by the Watcher's Spire, all these events must have been fantastic by the sheer view alone. The host of the social events has a very good chance of being the Watcher himself, as he is the Keeper of the Spire. Though the possibility remains that someone could have rented his Spire or Lurien could have lent his ballroom to any committee or guild in need of it. We do not have any evidence of this, however, so this is just speculation.

What is certain is that Lurien had a ballroom and it had to been used at some point. The Watcher, hosting a grand formal event, is not exactly an image that appears often in the fandom. Usually, Lurien is portrayed as an introvert who retreats from society rather than invites society into his home. 

Yet there appears to be a place for Lurien to remain an introvert while hosting these grand balls. Behold the chart below.

Red arrow points to the ballroom (plus the above area where you get your reward of geo) while the green arrow points to the room with the three little watchers. Blue arrow points to Lurien's office.

Lurien has created a buffer zone between him, his work, and the ballroom. When Lurien is hosting a party and feeling overwhelmed by all the company, he can duck out into either the green arrow zone or use the zone to sneak into his office. Whereas when Lurien is too tired from his work, he can slip down the elevator to the green arrow zone or the ballroom for a dance. Again, if work came up at the ball, Lurien can pull the person aside into the green arrow zone and into his office if need be. Then, as soon as work was completed, Lurien can return to the ballroom after taking a breather in the green arrow zone.

Lurien knows himself and the duties required of him, whether it be his guardsman duties or his social duties, and so created a space for him to meet both duties while giving himself a breather room, literally.

Speaking of a breather, let us turn from the ballroom to the room which Lurien made to allow anyone to rest, the bench room.

This is personally my favorite bench in game, though the one in the Queen's Gardens is a close second. The soft sound of rain while surrounded by the glow of the lamps, all while Marissa's song echoes in the background. The whole room is beautiful, allowing you to take a breath not just from the brutality and decay outside, but for awe that Team Cherry creates in their game.

Unlike the other Dreamers, Lurien does not have a unique bench. The bench within his Spire is standard across the kingdom. While it does save Team Cherry time, I believe the standard bench speaks to Lurien's character as well. The standard Hallownestian bench is for anyone to sit, and so anyone and everyone is welcomed to rest at Lurien's Spire. Note the placement of the bench, directly underneath the bridge connecting the Watcher's Spire to the Commoner/Worker side of the City. Anyone from that side would immediately have a place to rest when they arrived or about to depart. As for the nobles, the room is so beautiful and costly adorned that they would have no reason to complain. Once again, the bench area’s predominantly colored purple, showing how anyone could rest there in beauty.

Sidenote: I find it interesting that the glass lamps Lurien used for this room were first and only seen on the Commoner/Worker side of the City. The nobles only have round spheres or crest-like ovoid.
