I live with a form of synesthesia, so I do my best to capture the sensation with whatever medium suits it best.
I know these aren't backgrounds, but I like them.
Other pieces that show how absurd I get with colour are on my page haaaaa
The dead marshes, sunset through the water's curtain from two towers, and a favourite piece that tells the story in one go.
The last one is from 2025 and is Sauron and Frodo- very subtly so
I know not why my wife sent me your way
But here we go anyway.
They are all LotR concepts from 2023- it was my first time experiencing Tolkein, and I wanted to share how I saw that world.
Eye of Sauron, bridge at the end of Moria, and the forest of Lotlorien (looking up)
Oh, yeah.
We had that happen, too.
I also ended up in a math class with my older sister.
Those odds are fun to count
Okay, I will put this in better perspective:
The high school had two floors, but barely.
The announcements could ALWAYS include the birthdays of students for that day and the previous weekend/holiday if that was needed.
Our yearbook was in 100% color.
The math on this is scary.
So, I was in the middle of writing last night, and one of my plushies face-planted onto the keyboard and typed "w3e23p"
I was told to go to bed by a black cat plush dressed in a pink sweater [I've shared a pic of him before]
I found this message this morning.
"We sleep" well said, little man.
Bassist Aglaea with her horridly proportioned guitar because I couldn't be arsed to check scale.
I enjoy writing her as a fully actualize older sister-type character who is ready to throw down-
This is one such iteration of her in my stories.
I'M DYING
In the process of taking apart my sophomore year book from high school
I was reminded of the horrifying reality that was the statistical improbability of being in the same graduating year as at least four sets of identical twins.
Where I grew up was not that big, either.
Some art
I LOVE when my phone moves my cursor on me.
I'm in a similar place-
While I create a lot of things...
It's never in the genre or the medium that people give a shit abidea.
I'll keep screaming into the void though, my blood can't handle being idel.
Sketchy sketches to remind ye of Snowy's design.
I'm using names of existing mythological figures on purpose...
Nyx, Hemera, Tethys, and even Hestia are used so far.
Pretty much only the dragon calls things by these names though.
I love explaining how song is magical-
♡♡♡
I hear the golden prince sing, and my feathers ruffle and stand on edge at the sound. He has the tone to speak with them. I can’t help but remark out loud before clasping my claws over my beak. I hope he did not hear me. I wish to see the moment he first encounters Tethys’ Grotto and the children singing within. I can hear Nyx calling back to him, and Hemera calling from where she rests during the night, helping to feed the young skyfish with his own comforting tones. They will likely dance and the stars beneath will glow again for the first time in a millennia. The grand skyfish, as old as this land, had told stories of when the cave would glisten like the night sky at all times of the day; a constant source of sustenance for the young— a loving gift from Aquila. Though one thing bothers me. Why is the golden prince so sad? His arms sit crossed upon the rail, his head laid against them as he stares into the sky. His words have stopped, but the melody lingers around him, the magic having permeated the area, mimicking the radiance of his song. I wish I could speak with them. Though, the things I know are likely not mine to share. ꧁⎝ 𓆩༺✧༻𓆪 ⎠꧂
I love having a random first-person chapter thrown in.
This time, the POV is the dragon that I randomly created for this story.
The other things being mentioned here are big ol' skyfish, one that is light and one that is stars, Tethys is technically the personified version of a specific place.
Also, I wanted to post these images because I keep forgetting to.
I ALSO KEEP PULLING UP DEV TOOLS INSTEAD OF TYPING "I".
Ope. I need to fix part of this, but my boy.
I love him.
Imagine him singing "Hello Halo" in this and then you know why its funny and also perfect.
Did I write lyrics for a Berzerk-themed song?
Yes.
Yes I did.
Hey look! I did another song!
This one has a bonus, longer version as well.
but it had the right feeling. It felt the same as the perfectly-balanced sword he had bought for himself a few years back. It felt like how this name felt right. It just… It felt right. The guy plugged the thing into an amp and Phainon became completely tongue-tied, fingers shaking as the sound dripped like ink into water. It had been too long since he could touch the music this way. He felt the tears form, and he had to keep his eyes on the guitar or on Mydei because he was going to fully start crying if he paid too much attention to how much they couldn’t afford it– how badly it was outside of their budget that it made him ache. Instead he strummed at the strings lightly, feeling the water ripple around him through the amp that connected to a dream played through his hands across steel strings across a field of black and red flower petals, all framed in gold. He had a knack for finding things that were suited to himself– Perhaps it was the three and a half decades of trial and error as he fought and floundered to find himself amid the chaos of his past and the monster who his mother had created. Perhaps because he finally accepted the part of himself that he hadn’t been truly willing to voice– Perhaps that’s why such a thing called out to him from where it hung on the display wall. Perhaps…
Synesthesia makes playing instruments into an otherworldly experience.
Now if only I had an extra $1k........
