Starryarchitect - Architect Of The Stars

For some reason, nothing hits me harder than seeing characters laugh hysterically because of frustration or exhaustion or anger or grief. We always talk about how subversive tears of joy are, but man, laughs of sadness are so much worse. Maybe it's just a me thing, but my chest always gets tight and my breathing shallow whenever a character starts laughing because of a negative emotion. I just. Can't. Handle. It.

And Infinity Train uses this trope two times!

First time with Simon:

You could argue that this is laughter because of insanity, not negative emotions, but it still hits hard. No matter how much you hate him. At least if you're me. Seriously, this was my reaction when I first saw Simon's death/breakdown scene:

The second time Infinity Train pulls this is with Ryan:

This, too, killed me! Emotionally, at least. Why is it always the laughing?!

Anyway, yeah, of course I want Infinity Train to continue, but it might be a good thing that it doesn't if they planned another one of these maniacal laughter scenes in the next season. Not sure I could handle another amazingly animated, amazingly written, amazingly voice-acted breakdown like this.

Just a short platonic Pallura comfort fic.

You can't call someone family until you go stargazing with them.

My hand slipped and, um . . .

I wrote another all left fic for the au by @sabertoothwalrus! One chapter up, the other two written. It's what I've been referring to in my head as the prosthetic fic. I am quite happy with it actually and, um, I would be even happier if you would read it . . .

map of europa with drawings of my fellow soldiers from back during the ice war

way back when I got promoted to sergeant my captain gave me the company guidebook on europan warfare and all these maps. neither of them were worth anything except as a canvas. thing is, ink and paint freezes in those tunnels, so I drew the other soldiers all in pencil. I've been going through these old sketches from my time on the ice and thinking I might share some of them, so I'll have a few more for you soon, because the ice was hell and this was the only thing that made it gentler

This is so cute! Let's see, three random facts. I've never lived anywhere for more than three years, I'm trained in search and rescue techniques (technically. it's been a minute), and I love to hike! I feel like I'm very obvious about my nerdiness and love of art on here so I thought I'd try to throw in some other parts of myself with this

Plance Steampunk/Fantasy AU

Pidge is a mechanic with a knack for chemistry (see Varian from TTS). Her father and brother go exploring in neighboring lands for their kingdom, but contact with them is lost during a storm. Pidge has to use all her engineering skills to find and save them. The kingdom fights her and her search every step of the way, for reasons Pidge hasn't been able to determine. Do they just not see the point of wasting resources saving two people? Or do they have something to hide?

Lance is a guard who escorts Pidge home after she storms into the castle demanding the royal family send a rescue team after her family. He starts spending time with her and helping her on her mission--partly because he believes it's wrong the kingdom refuses to give her aid, and partly because he can't help but find the ruthless little genius fascinating.

Almost definitely never going to write this, but I do like the idea, and I had to illustrate it. Pidge hasn't bothered to get a haircut recently in this drawing--her hair is overgrown and messy, but also rather cute.

loved the colors of the flowers from conference so I just had to doodle them

Here are some Plance kisses I doodled!

(and now the last one, but with glasses:)

Haven't drawn my favorite girl in a while, but I'm rewatching VLD with my sister and wanted to try again, so here! Pidge!
