This, right here, has got to be my favourite canon art
Its not like its one of those ethereal art pieces, the type those god gifted artist make, but oh dear, I love the symbolism it shows…
The fact that Ivan is holding on to Till dearly and is quite literally an inch or two away from his face with his eyes set on him but then theres Till. He is very much being held by Ivan in place, if Ivan released his hold he’ll fall and yet he chooses not to acknowledge it - too engrossed in whatever is in his mind. He doesn’t seem uncomfortable or anything in Ivan’s arms - it’s like he is completely content in this position.
Ivan’s screaming that he’s here for him, that he wants him but Till is deaf.
Ivans position symbolises how hes always looking out for Till and protecting him (like taking off his muzzle and collar, releasing him from those solitary confinements, freaking help him escape their hell-) whereas Till doesnt acknowledge this - or dare i say refuses to do so - despite being dependant on Ivan to keep him from falling and is always focused on Mizi instead (he barely looked at Ivan in all of his flashback scenes)
And when Ivan let go of Till, he fell and he realised the anchor Ivan posed as and his significance in his life. (Ivan died and Till was left distraught and depressed - and he was thinking about him throughout round 7)
the aglaea sunday combo is horrifying i dont even want to know what her stats will look like in sim uni
One of my newer OCs. Her name is Kyrie (Kai-ree), Kai for short. Originally Kairi but not sure if the spelling is clear enough.
Anyways, she's a creature loosely based off of kelpies from Scottish mythology—a water spirit that can shapeshift into an equestrian (or human in some myths) form to lure in potential victims. She enjoys bone collecting and would probably frequent r/vultureculture if she existed in our world.
I'm very happy with how the rendering of the skin and hair turned out, and the effects / texture.
So, I think we all know that the main reason Hoyo had to bench Mydei for the next few patches is because we can't have Phainon corruption/ depression arc if this guy is around, right?
Whether you see it in a platonic or romantic light, it's obvious that they care about each other, also Mydei can tell when Phainon is trying to hide his feelings/ put on a brave face and even goes out of his way to try and cheer up Phainon...
In other words, they had to take away Phainon's emotional support kremnoan...
Idk what it is but I love tingyuns design sm
She looks so knowing and sly yet sweet and wholesome at the same time, yet also seems like she'd try to act cheerful even when she's not
And her design with the fans is super good too
I need to draw her.

Random Alhaitham and Kaveh headcanon incoming involving plants and interior design
So Kaveh is absolutely plant crazy and has a bunch of aerogardens and probably a few terrariums to decorare the house, but since his style is more spontaneous bursts of 3 am creativity and motivation and not consistent and logical work he'd be terrible at taking care of them (along with taking care of himself) even if he's trying his best because either he or the plants will get burnt out
And meanwhile Haitham's just a straight up plant nerd but keeps reeeeaaal uiet about it, and watches from afar while "reading," then when Kaveh goes to sleep or to his room or to get absolutely wasted at the tavern with Cyno and Tighnari or something he'll just go and fix up the plants and the setup for them and such
And since he's 1) learned to pick his arguments more carefully with Kaveh so Kaveh doesn't get overwhelmed (and so Alhaitham can spend his arguments on things more important than plants, like Kaveh's self-destructive levels of empathy), and 2) probably knows that Kaveh blames himself a lot for his father's death and is always feeling that he needs to be there for others out of guilt + is hard on himself when he can't help people, Alhaitham stays quiet about Kaveh's terrible gardening skills so he doesn't blame himself for neglecting / not caring for the plants
Which of course leads to Kaveh thinking that he's an absolute gardening prodigy and leads to him buying even more plants, while Alhaitham's torn between being vaguely happy that Kaveh is enjoying himself, and heavily regretting his actions because now he has even more plants to take care of
I need to draw this
hikaru ga shinda natsu is about coming back wrong and haunting the narrative and being queer in a small rural town and internalised homophobia and summers that feel like they'll never end and the codependent homoerotic friendship you had when you were 15 and what it means to be dead or alive and navigating a world you feel like you dont belong to and grief and mourning and obsession and love and most importantly, having gay thoughts for the eldritch monster that bodysnatched your friend's corpse
