When Adrien Gets Out From Under Gabriel's Thumb, I Imagine He's Going To Wear A Bunch Of Disgustingly

You Found Rover!

Since I haven't been feeling very inspired in the Plance art area lately, I decided to post my first Plance drawing, which I did back when all I could do in terms of digital art was trace screenshots. Oh, and I used fancy blending modes instead of figuring out the colors myself.

Objectively, it probably looks better than anything I drew myself, but I still don't like it because it doesn't look like MY art, it just looks likes random Plance art. Oh well, here we go.

Holy cow, this is a HUGE file, what was past me THINKING?!

Visiting family over the summer be like

I meant to draw this back in November when I first read the asexual Jasnah chapter, but uh . . . better late than never, right?

Reading the chapter that revealed Jasnah was ace was one of the happiest moments of my life. No joke, I went to bed that night grinning so hard it hurt the next morning. If there was any doubt about it before, Brandon Sanderson is definitely my favorite author now. Ace Jasnah is awesome.

I understand people being a little disappointed she's not homoromantic or 100% lesbian, but just remember that's she's not heteroromantic either--since the only romances she's ever been in (in any iteration of the Stormlight archive) have been with Taln (WoKP) and Hoid (RoW), she's clearly actually infiniromantic--romantically attracted to people who are at least a few millennia old and way too knowledgeable for anyone's good.

(Also, yes, I will be using ace Jasnah as an excuse to draw her exclusively using purple palettes. I mean, I would've anyway because something about her is just purple, but now I have an excuse.)

I tried to draw Lake from Infinity Train, and uh . . .

I am not happy at all with how this turned out. So, obviously, I'll have to redraw her fifty times until I am happy with the result!

So I guess, arguably, Amelia is the main protagonist of Infinity Train.

That just makes it even worse that we can't get to see the season centered on her

That moment where you're halfway through an animatic and you suddenly decide you loathe everything about your art style.

Just a short platonic Pallura comfort fic.

Sticky lines from fics I've read:

“Adrien still thought that home meant a big, lonely bedroom with barred windows. Chat Noir knew better.”

—"tell me something i don't know" by @carpisuns

"It’s not your fault, Milady. I don’t blame you."

—"Sebben, crudele, mi fai languir (Although, cruel love, you make me languish)" by @komorebirei

“"We’ll be together tomorrow, won’t we?' he asks, moving his face closer to hers on the pillow. She does the same, their foreheads touching.

She says: 'Yes, always.'

Cut to black."

—"tomorrow" by @peachcitt

"Above him, the sky is black. It’s a void of another name, stretching beyond the horizon and swallowing the world in darkness. But it’s not empty, not in the slightest. A dazzling array of stars glitters above him, packed denser than he thought stars could be."

—"make beautiful things" by @aquaquadrant

"Her grief is not gone. Her grief will never be gone. But for now, the Castle of Lions needs a leader, and she is the only one they have. Her grief drives her. It will not be put to rest, and neither will she.

There is a war to win."

—"change of heart" by rythyme (pugglemuggle)

"Some things don’t make any more sense under a microscope.  You can spend all night turning them over in your head, and the harder you look, the more they seem to shift, made inscrutable.  It’s the difference between observing things and actually living them, maybe.  The risk of getting too close."

—"quantum mechanics, smirks, and other complications of the universe" by @amillionsmiles

"This vexing, brilliant, beautiful boy was laughing so hard she couldn’t tell if his cheeks were wet with water or his own tears. Like everything else, he put his whole heart into it."

—"Tu Eres Mi Corazon" by 13Vivacious13

“'Real.'"

Sticky Lines Ask

You know when you come across A Line in a book or a fic that just makes you stop in your tracks and let it sink in because it’s so beautiful? Or one that makes you lose your mind and wheeze-laugh for five entire minutes? Or just one that’s said in such an interesting way that you’ll never forget it? I call those “sticky lines.” The ones that stick in your brain for a long, long time after you’ve finished reading, sometimes forever.

Writers, reblog this if you want people to tell you what your sticky lines are! Or feel free to make your own list of favorite sticky lines :)

they ship in warmies who think they know war but no one knows war before

no one from terra knows what it is to feel your lungs fill with ice as the red eye watches you forever

no one from terra knows how to fight in tunnels or trenches; that planet is too crowded, everywhere has people, no one knows what it's like to fight inside the ground itself

no one from terra knows how the fighting goes when the line between soldier and miner is as blurry as your vision gets as the ice sets in

no one from terra knows how fighting used to be, without plasma guns or electro-bombs, no one knows how to fight when it gets so cold that all the modern tech dies and you're left with your frozen purple hands and the rifles of your ancestors

no one from terra knows what war is. no one knows what war is before—

before they come here.
