I Personally Really Liked This One

Black ngl

gay tumblr artists only personality quiz: what color do u use to sketch before u outline

Reblogging this on my main one bc I spent a good amount of time writing this

idk why but kinda inspired by the book The Seventh Sun

what if the gods of this world made themselves dissipate into the world around them? Which could be one of the reasons why the earth has magic.

What if Aethel is not the first god generated, but a sort of descendant of the first god, Album Magicae, the god of White Magic?

Hence why he was one of the first leaders for the Boss/god/minigod nation by default.

----------------

Only a god can kill another god? idea?

----------------------

so then higher beings of this worlld would be gods and minigods

Gods would refer to the original pantheon of elements (fire, ice, water, earth, white magic, dark magic, metal, shadows, air, storm, etc. etc.) Although they could only possess one element (with the acception of White and Dark magic being able to manipulate all, as they both were the superior), the weilded their element quite powerfully, and could control the natural Earth's elements, as well as replicate or create it.

Minigods would refer to the generation of gods generated after that pantheon, which were typically gods who possessed creation and manipulation over more elements rather than one, but could not control the natural/original elements (the original Pantheon) already within the earth without using a majority of their magic, which will tire them out easily. Basically, they can really only control their own creations, not the natural world's/original Pantheon's. *Minibosses can be *generated with the ability to manipulate multiple elements, enhancements (such as flexibility and agility enhancements), and usually represent not only their main element, but strengths (such as Vince being a sort of god of lighting and war).

should there be a third species of gods? ones that are "direct" descendants of the original Pantheon? So pretty much a god who can posses and control only one element, but does not represent any value except that element? They could be some such as messengers? Messaging for the original Pantheon to the current ruling order?

it could explain the omen theory of Alpha I had/have, where Alpha being generated is an omen.

hmm.

----------------

But back to the first ideas, I like the idea of minigod having to sacrifice blood in order to have temporary control of the natural elements from the original Pantheon.

Basically, what I mean by the original pantheon dissipating into the world is that they gave themselves to an empty earth after Life and Death had created them, giving the earth a magical life. White magic and Dark magic maybe created good and bad morals, consciousness, and using magic from the now generated mana springs pulsating through the life driven earth, created a life, named Aethel. And from there, the whole miniboss saga began. then civilians generated. they thought they were the only residents and didn't know about Aethel and vice versa. more bosses generated. civilians and bosses meet. civilians (being human equivalents) went greedy and wanted the wonderous powers the minibosses had. So they had a revolution/war.

OHHH WHAT IF FOR THE CIVILIAN VS BOSSES WAR THE ORIGINAL PANTHEON SUMMONED THEMSELVES, FOUGHT OFF THE CIVILLIANS, AND TOLD AETHEL TO GREATE SOME SIRT OF GOVERNMENT OR MONARCHY FOR THE BOSSES TO BAND TOGETHER TO PREVENT ANY MORE MISHAPS LIKE THESE AND KEEP PEACE

THEN ALL THOSE YEARS LATER, HE MADE THE COUNCIL, WHICH COULLD SWITCH BOSSES EVERY FEW YEARS OR WHEN THEY DIE, THEN KEPT THE PROMISE TO KEEP PEACE.

ALPHA COMES ALONG!

OH BOI I THINK I JUST GOT THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY MAYBES EE

book and civics got me thinking

and I've been thinking of organizing this god minigod dilemma

k I go now cuz mi phone's at 6%

*generated: Bosses are not born, they created by White Magic via natural mana (magic) pulsating through the earth. They spawn.

*miniboss: You may have noticed god and boss used interchangeably. they mean the exact same thing in this world. Boss is another term for a god.

used a picrew for this hollow knight fan character

lore

So basically, I believe I already explained the leaves, where no matter what happens the leaves always somehow find their way back to Leaves, which Leaves finds a sort of comfort to that.

And as I mention that, Leaves is *not* actually a pure vessel, as they can feel emotion. I added a little bit of myself to kind of keep the sona but, but also left enough of myself out to have Leaves as it's own character, so kinda like a comfort character.

I'm a very emotional person, if that's not already obvious. That was Leaves' first sign that they weren't pure.

It's leg is a nod to me having sprained that same knee, but it also has it's own story too.

I like to think that Leaves lost it's leg to trying to become the pure vessel before ghost, but because it could feel emotion and it wasn't pure, it failed, and lost it's leg from the Radience or infection. It used it's nail as a crutch before seeking out the Nailmaster, which I like to think that the Nailmaster made the prosthetic for it.

Upon knowing Ghost is the next pure Vessel/defeats Radience, Leaves does get a little bit jealous, as it did want to complete that task itself, hence the posture. It was a little hostile towards Ghost before accepting the fact that it could no longer be the pure vessel and that Ghost was superior to it. Eventually, it grew to look up to Ghost, be friendly to it, and like it.

the hollow knight’s bossfight was so, so good at making me feel so, so bad

Thank you Tumblr

And thank you all for liking my stuff,, it truly makes me happy seeing that other poleople enjoy my art as much as I, even if it's just silly little doodles.

I've been kinda having a slump with my art, but kept reminding myself that art, messy or beautiful, is art, and as long as I enjoy it, then that's fine.

I don't need to create a masterpiece in order for people to like my drawings, the hollow knight doodles being an example of that,

and I think thise are the little things that remind me art is a lot of things, not just finished masterpieces.

It's the process, the fun, the memories and the moments.

And I thank you guys for reminding me of that.

Thank you, I appreciate you all

Woah, poleople, what the heck is that

Always open

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
