Zephrun’s Imperium

Y'all I just realized I'm the same age as Kaladin is in WoK. Time flies. I was 12 when I started reading those books. 

Good luck to everyone starting school this month!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! 

I'm getting a ghostbloods tattoo on my wrist today! 

THE PRIDE LOGO OMG

Happy gay month, folks!

And with that, I have finished my first year of college. 

Hold on, kids; there are better things than high school. <3

Happy 5 year Shardiversary to meee! What a wild and wonderful half a decade it’s been. Have some Vin art! 

I’ve been rereading Mistborn aloud to my partner and man it’s such a trip. This is the fifth time I’ve read tFE, but it’s the first time since middle school that I’ve read it without being depressed. It’s incredible to realize just how formative these books were for me; they provided the bedrock for who I am today. 

Also also…. I’ll definitely be drawing some fan art over break so keep an eye out.

Somebody upvoted an ancient piece of my art a few days ago (thank you, stranger) and it made me self conscious so I feel the need to redeem myself my drawing attention to my Inktober drawings from this year that I didn’t post here! They’re all Gravity Falls related. 

I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season! All my love! 

Ad Astra per Aspera 

What a gorgeous site update!

Chapter three of my fic is up, if anybody is interested!

Guys, I graduate tomorrow-

Defenestration is the best word, actually. 

Zephy is currently thinking about: 

The elusive concept of COOL and why humans are so driven to FITTING IN

If @Robin Sedai gets to post pretty picture then do I! Spring time is finally here and it’s gorgeous. 

Oh my god I actually did it. 

Zephy’s first (public) fan fiction.  It’s Graviry Falls, but I’m really proud of it, so I’m gonna post it here.

THERE'S A NEW SEASON OF SWEET TOOTH!!!!!!!

Greetings 17th Shard,

I know I've gone by Star on here for the last four years, but I would appreciate being called Zephy now. Partially so new people aren't confused but also because I started going by Zephy literally everywhere else online and I really, really identify with it and will probably start going by it in college so... Yeah. 

Have a nice week everyone! Zephy loves ya. 

I cannot think of a single female character who has impacted me in a significant way. So here I am, writing a female I can get behind. Star Celeste, everyone.

Quote

By the time Star and her guard arrived at their apparent destination, she had begun to wonder if there was something more sinister behind her summons. No one would miss her if she was executed and they had absolutely no reason not to do so. They hadn’t cared about her husband’s death, why would they care about hers? 
And she was surprised to find that she was actually excited about the prospect of being marched to her untimely death. She’d be stupid to think there was a possibility of escape, but by Fate, she’d give ‘em hell before the deed was done. Images of being forcefully injected with some death serum danced around in her head. She’d rip out the needle and give her assailant a kick, break their bones and deliver some impactful last words; something about her blood finally giving them a splash of color, perhaps? “Red actually suits you,” or, “glad I could introduce you to style.” Yeah. Yeah, that sounded good. 

Quote

“Ah! Ms. Celeste!” The woman at the desk stood up, and it took a moment for Star to realize that she had spoken; actually spoken like a normal person instead of using that strange, mind-bending Enuller silent-speak. “Oh, it’s absolutely lovely to meet you! Have a seat; Darius will be in soon.” 
Star gave the woman at the desk a glare that she hoped would wither the decorative grey succulents. She did not sit. 
“Ah. Um… I am Emily Geiger, one of the head scientists in my department. Or, I guess the head scientist since Ryan… It- doesn’t matter. We study magic here, but I’ve never actually met a Narrator before! Although I have- Well, I guess we will get to that. You really can sit. There’s tea! If you want it. I thought you might, since the penitentiary isn’t very, ah, homey.”
That was one way to describe it. Star had already decided that she did not like this woman. Her tight, high ponytail seemed a mockery of Star’s low and loose one, the straight sides of her white labcoat jeering at Star’s extrusive curves. The Enuller’s whole demeanor screamed that Star was nothing more than another lab rat, a test subject, an interesting creature to observe. 
“I don’t want tea,” Star said, projecting as much dignity as she could while wearing very undignified handcuffs and a tank top. How would Emily be acting, she wondered, if Star was free of her restraints, both physical and magical? At the very least, she could be glad her tank top showed off her sculpted arms.

Inspiration flows like a river tonight; I have made MASSIVE leaps of organizational progress on my book series. It feels so much more doable now. 

Y'all, check out my sick nails.

A few updates...

• I am still working on Of Demons, Shadows, and Tired Old Men!! I have too many ideas for the plot for this fic to go to waste! (for the uninformed, DSTOM is a Gravity Falls/Mistborn crossover fan fic and it is Good)
• Chronic pain is a female dog. I experience pain every day, but I do have limits to what I can handle, so after breaking down to tears, I am at home, eating chili and hot croissants, ice on my neck and ibuprofen in my system. Take care of your bodies, you guys. They're doing the best they can and are not out to get you.
• I has a r t and you are all entitled to see it. Behold the cuteness I have wrought:

Have a nice day, y'all. Ad Astra Per Aspera

Kind of a story behind this. So I stumbled upon an old recording of this same song that I had done two years ago. It was right when I my ex boyfriend and I had first gotten together. It was a lot of emotions to hear it again. So I decided it needed a do-over.

I hope you guys like it.

(please excuse when my dog whines)

I'm uh, currently crying
In class
Darn fan fic
Breakin' my heart

When I awoke this morning, I was greeted with the smell of death.

Not the death of a battlefield - decaying, bloody, and rotten - but the death of children's hopes and dreams. 

Or, more specifically, the death of a bag of Xreme Butter Flavor popcorn, vanquished by too much time spent in the microwave.
