Mystic Syn

Nobody’s up on the Shard, except for me and like,, 5-6 other people lolll. Anyways, “When Marnie Was There” is really heccn’ good.

This will most definitely be the last time I post my art before my mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I literally get set apart and become a full-time proselytizing missionary tomorrow (or, if you’re one of those people, later today), and then start my home missionary training this upcoming Monday. Can’t say that I will miss this website, but I will miss the community and creativity.

Know that I won’t be gone forever maybe, and that no matter what happens – whether or not I will come back in the next 18 months – never stop being creative. Don’t let my departure taint the creativity not that it has in the first place. Keep creating new things and share them here; I have learned that people love to see creativity, no matter if you think that the stuff you create is “bad.”

God be with all of you till we meet again <3

Why has no one replied to this? This is a dope idea and I want in. I also will only be able to participate till mid August for LDS mission reasons.

Only like,, most of the month has passed. Just been busy preparing for the mission and all that.

I watched the new Spiderverse movie (because one of my best friends forced me to see it lolll), and it’s SO HECKN’ GOOD. Go watch it if you can :))

Pro tip for anyone who’s preparing to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints right now: Watch the SafetyZone videos BEFORE you go out on your mission while you’re able to do things, such as play video games.

Heh, m e m e s

Haha, headache and mission papers go brrrrr

I got “Baby” by Justin Bieber stuck in my head and I have no clue how to get it out.

The angry nameless dude looks like Rengoku's dad

Since I have no idea who that is and also no idea who I referenced, might as well be.

Only a few of them are partial to murder, pffft.

Just kidding now I want to meet them more because I'm curious.

Although, if you’re referring to the drawing of the six peeps I drew, I’ll give you the skinny on how meeting them would be like:

Yulong: Would not murder on the spot most likely. Will only take you a few.. years or so to break down her walls to actually see that she’s a nice person, although very very traumatized

Sage: Very nice; very wholesome dude. If you like wholesome people, you and him will be besties

Kasha: mmMmMmmMMmMMm, might murder because she feels like it

Ji: Also might murder, depending on if you side with the government

Haruh: Can and will murder, but probably won’t unless told to

And Khusa: Also can and will murder, but he would emotionally damage and manipulate you first

I accidentally leave for like,, a month or two and people are freaking out now that I decided to be a bit more active lolll. Love you guys <3

How..how did you get better?!?!? I thought you were at the height of artistic ability but these are even better!!! The first one's probably my favorite but the Bill Cipher one and the side profile ones and all of them are also so cool!

It’s called practice and listening to music.. and also banana bread. Banana bread helps out a lot.

K, when I said that I would disappear for a month or so, I didn’t think I would actually mean it, but here we are.

Anyways, uh yeah. I’ve been doing really good! :)) I just came back from lifting a buncho beeg rocks, so I’m buff now. Working on getting through The Lost Metal, and it’s heccn’ good so far. I have over 170 notifications on here that I’m just not going to look at. So yeah. I dunno how many people look at my stuff anymore since my activity is fairly.. inconsistent.

Uh.. on to the arts! there’s quite a few so sit back and relax

I’m sorry I gave you like 50 different notifications, but I literally just logged on for the first time in a month or so lollll. All of these are absolutely beautiful!!

Oh yeah, I will

*disappears for a month again*

I’m sorry,, you hurt your what??

Been dealing with a migraine for the past two days or so (which has been thankfully been getting better), but it’s been an adventure where my brain and eyes wanted to stab themselves :))

But I figure that I should share some of le thingys I made over the past almost month before I disappear again

In the middle of a migraine for the past day or two.

Do you have hope for the future?

Generally speaking, yeah.

If we allow ourselves to wallow in self-pity or being in the pits of the pits, that’s where we’re going to stay for the next however long; however, it is never too late to look up and forward to the future. Little steps to achieving that brighter future are everything; you may make a huge step every once in a while, but it’s the little decisions that lead up to those big and grand life-changing steps.

There basically one direction you can go when you’ve stopped, and that’s forward. You can try to go back or move off to the side, but you won’t achieve that brighter future and hope if you do that.

Can you give me an overview of the city government?

Quote

Yeye, here's the basic rundown. All in the Google doc.

Spoiler

They have a democratic-republican government––a government that is run by a random individual that has been elected by the people. Their leader is called the High Autarch, voted in by the majority of the people. They have a small Council of Mentors, which is also voted in by the people that are given the responsibility to help the High Autarch fulfill their duties as leader of the country. They follow and add on (if necessary) to their own set of laws called the Ideals of Harmony, which details how to rule the City Region with the people in mind and how to make peace between all the people in the City Region.

... in other words, it's basically like the USA, except a wee bit more competent

 

"I dunno, Ranfast. I think the name suits you," she commented as she tapped her cane a few times. "Although, I guess we'll see as time goes on."

Kasha leaned forward on her cane, watching the Honqip man disappear, then looking around the small lobby area. Definitely was the person she thought it was. Vague memories of seeing this building when she was in this part of town last crossed her mind, and also memories of not giving it much attention came as well. Kasha never had motivation or intention to ever come in, and it was about what she expected... not that she was expecting something grand and elegant from this part of the City Region. Obtaining a building––of three stories, no less––in this sketchy part of Validus must have been a miracle from Vrual and Knali Themselves.

She must have gotten on good terms with the High Autarch. Kasha looked towards Alyxa, tilting her head ever so slightly. Hmm... relatively good terms.

"Sounds wonderful, Miss Tantel!" she said, smiling as she took a step forward. "And I hope that you will address Iduno's question when we get there..?"

"Might as well head off," Alyxa said. "If we're really working together on this, we have no reason to wait. And besides...something tells me he won't be able to let this rest."

"That's fair," she said with a shrug, tailing after them. "How far is your office, by the way? If you don't mind me asking."

"Alright then." Condipi began to walk away. "Bye."

"See ya, then," she called out, giving a half-hearted wave.

“And perhaps you really ought to stop acting like you have the moral right-of-way when you’re the one beating people to unconsciousness and pulling guns on anything that moves.

"I never said I did any of those options; I was only freely suggesting." Kasha tilted her head at the man. "Perhaps if you been around these alleys as long as I have, you would understand."

7 minutes ago, The Bookwyrm said:

"I think there's the confirmation I need on how suspicious you are," Alyxa said to Kasha.

"I never said I wasn't an anomaly," Alyxa said with a smirk. "I'm perfectly and fully aware that I'm acting very strangely for my ethnicity. It's funny how you'd pounce on my supposed hypocrisy so quickly, though...

"And I won't judge you too hard. Based on the knife close to that man's hand, I suppose he may have been attempting to rob you, in which case you were acting in self defense. And perhaps you assumed that he'll be in a better place then the streets once law enforcement comes and gets him. I can see your reasoning, and appreciate it."

She folded her arms. "I don't appreciate dishonesty, though. I need cold, hard facts to do what I do. And what I do is see things. Connections. Which means...I have the skills to help you find this rogue Talented. And I've been looking for an excuse to do so for a while, now."

Kasha clicked her tongue a couple times, winking as she pointed at Alyxa. "There you go; I like you. Finally someone who can at least try to see. I wasn't telling a fib, though; just providing more perspectives on the situation. With more perspectives, you have more understanding... or you're just more confused; no in between, unfortunately, from my experience, at least.

"Now––" Kasha set her cane down "––I'm not the leader of this band of misfits, and I know this has been mentioned before and I think I should emphasize on it, but we should probably get going before someone assumes the wrong of us: That we all helped our dear friend on the ground take a nap."

Alyxa raised an eyebrow. "I don't think there is an average for an alleyway conversation. And if there is, it's between much shadier people than your bunch. And besides," she said, gesturing to the unconscious man, "this isn't the ideal place to take a nap. Facedown. Next to someone holding a cane. You might not be shady, but you are suspicious. So I'd like answers."

"My own. It's true that I occasionally work with the government or police. They find my skills highly useful. But I still work for myself." Alyxa shrugged. "I mean, it's true I have no hold over you. You don't have to tell me anything, if you don't want to. But," she walked a little closer to the group, "Anomalies fascinate me. When something doesn't fit the data, it means a story is there. And with you all gathered here? You clearly have a story. Perhaps only the start of one, but a story nonetheless. I just take the chance that you're nice enough to tell me."

"Maybe I have a limp and I need the cane. Maybe I just happened to walk in on him lying facedown, trying to get some shut-eye and haven't decided to leave him yet. Maybe he happened to be a robber that tried to take my valuables and I merely defended myself. Maybe he just needed a place to sleep for a bit, what with the working conditions nowadays." Kasha then shrugged, pursing her lips a bit. "Perhaps I'm not the one suspicious; after all, the one calling me and/or us the 'anomaly' happens to be the Xefic that's not following... well, their own cultural traditions, but I probably shouldn't pry into that. Might be personal, and we wouldn't want to get personal in an alleyway with our dear friend over here that's just trying to take a nap."

Kasha leaned in a little bit, tilting her head at the odd Xefic. "Probably for the best to keep that hush-hush for now, Alyxa Tantel––" She looked up at Alyxa's pixie cut, then down at her clothing "––well, as hush-hush as we can get," Kasha said, giving her a small wink.

He looked confused at this. "So, what should I do?"

"Well, if you are Exhilarated like me, you would have to move around; can't activate your Talent just by sitting down and doing nothing. I honestly can't remember what the other do, but I know that the Imaginative have to do something creative or blah blah blah, something sneaky and probably illegal for the Deceptive, thinking something good or want peace and love and whatever for the Counselors, and something smart thingy for the Scholars."

"I'm very curious, now," she said loudly. "What exactly is happening here?"

Without hesitation, Kasha whipped out her side-pistol, aiming down the silver sights at the new Xefic. Short hair, like Iduno or whatever his actual name is or was. Apparently... interesting. She quickly looked the newcomer up and down, tapping her cane a few times before smiling and sliding the pistol in her holster.

"Just your average alley conversation," Kasha replied cheerfully. Her gaze then flicked to the unconscious robber. "Don't mind him. He's just taking a nap right now."
