Light in the darkness.

Bonus prompt for @summer-of-bad-batch. I lost a bit of momentum with work stuff cropping up, but I'm back in business baby 😎. And what better way to get back into the swing of it then with some s'mores.

Need a hand Tech? No! I got it all.

a @summer-of-bad-batch prompt that I've been eagerly waiting to do. I ran around to all my family members and asked for more and more ideas to make him carry. They all had a lot of fun, haha. Also it was fun to cameo all the other props that have been in previous Summer of Bad Batch posts of mine.

(also the phantom pain of carrying a water bottle with your pinky that I felt while drawing that...ouch)

"You really think you're going without me? Not going to happen." Cowabunga!

@summer-of-bad-batch prompt #5

how my week has gone.

all seriousness though I've been having so much fun and am really enjoying all the practice! I've even been having family members help me out with some ideas for the prompts. Been really enjoying picturing the batch doing different things in Hawai'i while I'm not there :D

"What are you two doing?"

"Oh. Forget I asked"

Echo has somehow managed to sleep through becoming a mermaid. He thought he was safe to get some sun finally. Evidently, he was not.

4th prompt of @summer-of-bad-batch 😎

Crosshair's a bit out of his comfort zone...

(peep Omega laughing and smiling for the camera during crosshair's rather dramatic display in the shallow end) for @summer-of-bad-batch

Learned a lot during this one. Honestly, I thought I wasn't going to finish, but the whole reason I'm doing this challenge is to, well, challenge myself to push through and keep going.

Ouch! Wrecker got a bit too close to the tide pools it would seem.

2 prompts down of @summer-of-bad-batch! HUZZAH!

better watch it...

A bit late, but that's life. I am going to attempt to get through as many prompts as possible of @summer-of-bad-batch ! Wish me luck!

I've been so inspired by all the beautiful jedi ocs I've seen on here, that I finally worked up the courage to show off one of mine.

Imyr sprung from a rabbit hole I fell into where I somehow ended up at a tutorial on basic Arnis drills. That just sort of made me go. huh... that could totally be a lightsaber form

Anyways, yep, she's a Cathar Jedi Master. Her design is inspired by Jaguars and my fascination with Jedi clothing, (and this amazing post by gffa). I was playing with more traditional Japanese clothing (like a hakama) alongside interpretations of those clothes (like in anime). The reason why I ended up choosing to veer her away from a more traditional look is because I wanted to show a bit of her character that way.

Taking Inspiration from the jaguar motif, I wanted to establish her as a more solitary Jedi. As a species, Imyr is an ambush predator, which lends well for patience and hunting, but not so well with taking a hit she knows is coming. I've read a couple of interesting Ahsoka pieces that explore the perceptions put on her and her own struggles with being a predator in a universe largely dominated by (near) humans. But even with these struggles, Imyr is still a Jedi and wants to be one. This is why her clothing does have the typical Jedi inspiration, just with added individuality to express the simultaneous connection/disconnection she feels.

This sort of ran away from me but she's just my special girl.

"he ain't fuckin stevie."

AKA the bad ending of the prank. Couldn't get the image out of my head when Luciano kept talking about walking yuno into a room.

couldn't get the idea of mad hatter chatterbox out of my head, so this is the design I came up with

. 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

here comes the giiirrlll~ 🩵 without all her accessories (bc i couldn't be bothered rn, maybe i'll add them in later) because she's taking her daily out of water bath (?). reverse bath. yep.

CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE S1- PHILOSOPHY

Hey! I'm super into philosophy, and while I was watching Classroom of the Elite (finally got around to it on my anime watchlist) I couldn’t help but notice the intro cards all have quotes (some of which I’ve never read!) so I thought of compiling them so that I can go get all the books and read them! 

Once I finish reading each one, I’ll write a summary and my review of it in its own post, if anyone is interested (just kidding I’ll do it even if no one cares).

“What is evil? – whatever springs from weakness.” F.W. Nietzsche: The Antichrist

“Nietzsche wrote "The Antichrist" to be first among a proposed gigantic work concerning the re-evaluation of all values. Through the contents of the book, we see that the first of those values which he wants to extinguish had strong ties to Christianity, either as an expression of its direct doctrines or in disguised forms within the philosophy of supposedly secular philosophers.” Njoku, I. The antichrist summary. Book Analysis. https://bookanalysis.com/friedrich-nietzsche/the-antichrist/summary/

“It takes a great talent and skill to conceal one’s talent and skill.” La Rochefoucauld, “Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims”

* "This famed work by a noted French author of the Renaissance era, seventeenth-century nobleman François de La Rochefoucauld, offers hundreds of brief, brutally honest observations of humankind and its self-serving nature. The perfect read for any realist—or anyone with the desire to evaluate their moral standing—this edition includes three supplements with additional maxims and essays."

“Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this – no dog exchanges bones with another.” An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nation. Adam Smith

"An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth, and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. By reflecting upon the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the book touches upon such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets."

“We should not be upset that others hide the truth from us, when we hide it so often from ourselves.” La Rochefoucauld, “Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims”

“Hell is other people” Jean-Paul Satre, “No Exit”

"Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit. The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. It is an eternal torment."

“There are two kinds of lies; one concerns an accomplished fact, the other concerns a future duty.” Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “Emile, or On Education”

“Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 'Emile, or On Education' is a groundbreaking work that delves into the philosophy of education, focusing on the natural development of a child's own innate abilities. Written in a conversational style, Rousseau presents his ideas through the fictional character of Emile, a boy raised away from societal influences to emphasize the importance of education based on nature rather than traditional methods. . .” Summary by google books. https://books.google.com/books?id=R0_mEAAAQBAJ

“Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is preferred.” Jean de La Fontaine, “Fables”

"Jean de La Fontaine collected fables from a wide variety of sources, both Western and Eastern, and adapted them into French free verse. They were issued under the general title of Fables in several volumes from 1668 to 1694 and are considered classics of French literature. Humorous, nuanced and ironical, they were originally aimed at adults but then entered the educational system and were required learning for school children." Summary by wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Fontaine%27s_Fables

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy, “Inferno,” Canto III, Line 9

“Thirty-five years old at the beginning of the story, Dante—the character as opposed to the poet—has lost his way on the “true path” of life; in other words, sin has obstructed his path to God. The Divine Comedy is the allegorical record of Dante’s quest to overcome sin and find God’s love; in Inferno, Dante explores the nature of sin by traveling through Hell, where evil receives punishment according to God’s justice. Allegorically, Dante’s story represents not only his own life but also what Dante the poet perceived to be the universal Christian quest for God. As a result, Dante the character is rooted in the Everyman allegorical tradition: Dante’s situation is meant to represent that of the whole human race. . .” Summary by sparknotes. https://www.sparknotes.com/poetry/inferno/character/dante-alighieri/

“Man is condemned to be free.” Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism and Humanism

"Over the past sixty years the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre have probably been more influential in the West than those of any other philosopher and literary figure. In his theoretical writings, Sartre laid the foundation for an original doctrine of Existentialism. His concern, however, was to relate his theory to human response and the practical demands of living.” Summary by google books. https://books.google.com/books/about/Existentialism_and_Humanism.html?id=vZs6PgAACAAJ

“Every man has in himself the most dangerous traitor of all.” Kierkegaard, “Works of Love”

“One of Soren Kierkegaard's most important writings, Works of Love is a profound examination of the human heart, in which the great philosopher conducts the reader into the inmost secrets of Love. "Deep within every man," Kierkegaard writes, "there lies the dread of being alone in the world, forgotten by God, overlooked among the household of millions upon millions." Love, for Kierkegaard, is one of the central aspects of existence; it saves us from isolation and unites us with one another and with God. . .” Summary by google books. https://books.google.com/books/about/Works_of_Love.html?id=_6OEccL5znEC

“What people commonly call fate is mostly their own stupidity.” Schopenhauer, Philosophical Writings

“Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher. He is known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, which characterizes the phenomenal world as the manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism. Schopenhauer was among the first thinkers in Western philosophy to share and affirm significant tenets of Indian philosophy, such as asceticism, denial of the self, and the notion of the world-as-appearance. His work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism. . .” Summary by wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer

“Genius lives only one story above madness.” Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena

“Parerga and Paralipomena (Greek for "Appendices" and "Omissions", respectively; German: Parerga und Paralipomena) is a collection of philosophical reflections by Arthur Schopenhauer published in 1851. The selection was compiled not as a summation of or introduction to Schopenhauer's philosophy, but as augmentary readings for those who had already embraced it, although the author maintained it would be comprehensible and of interest to the uninitiated nevertheless. The collection is divided into two volumes, covering first the parerga and thereafter the paralipomena to that philosophy. The parerga are six extended essays intended as supplementary to the author's thought. The paralipomena, shorter elaborations divided by topic into thirty-one subheadings, cover material hitherto unaddressed by the philosopher but deemed by him to be complementary to the parerga.” Summary by wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parerga_and_Paralipomena

congratulations on scrolling all the way down here! I included short summaries provided by the internet because I feel like they really help give a reason for wanting to read the entire media instead of just moving past after quote :)

can't wait to start reading!

still puzzling through this mermaid oc, but i love her so much 🥰

I actually did this piece a while ago but never posted it, and well, it's may :/ so why not.

they've decided to go to the same mental institution <3

we as a society need to do something about the fact that frozen pizza doesn't taste good

Happy Easter! 🐇

I remembered I had free will again last night ✌️

It's up to you the context for this, because the truth of the matter is I went a little feral over a bunny boy Fox. Was this because of a bet? Was it willing? Was he just in his office and i swear put the comm down Thire or so help me! When I catch you-!

I realized I've never posted this piece I've been working on since December. It's still a WIP, but I like how its going and thought might as well post.

This piece is part of a collection I'm working on that I haven't posted anything about yet. It's going to be a jedi pin-up calender (hopefully). This Shaak-Ti started the whole thing, and i'm still working on it.

I've been continuously coming back to it over the past few months when I learn a new skill or new technique.
