A Quick Drawing I Made Rewatching Anastasia, Inspired On The "once Upon A December" Part

Voyager Passing A Nebula 6x8 inches, Oil on panel A new tiny painting coming to EveryDayOriginal.com tomorrow morning!

The Voyager 1 spacecraft became the first human made object to enter interstellar space in 2012. At a distance of more than 20 light-hours, it is the furthest any human made object has ever traveled from Earth. In case it is ever found by intelligent life, Voyager carries a golden phonograph record of sounds and images of earth.

"The engineers projected a one-billion-year shelf life for the golden phonograph records. How long is a billion years? In a billion years the continents of Earth would be so altered that we would not recognize the surface of our own planet. One thousand million years ago, the most complex life forms on Earth were bacteria. In the midst of the nuclear arms race, our future, even in the short term seemed a dubious prospect. Those of us privileged to work on the making of the Voyager message did so with a sense of sacred purpose. It was conceivable that, Noah-like, we were assembling the ark of human culture, the only artifact that would survive into the unimaginably far distant future." - Ann Druyan

Alt makeup and alt application methods

Thinkin about Su Xiyan, Tianlang-jun, and Luo Binghe again…

Su Xiyan who was forced into doing things and who desperately didn’t want to betray Tianlang-jun and who drank poison so she could see him again and warn him only to find out that she was far too late. And she gave birth to a little baby boy and instead of tossing him overboard into the water or letting him freeze, she wrapped him in her own robes to send him down the river. She must’ve been hoping he’d live, right? She must’ve been desperately longing for her child to live. She must’ve been so tired. She looked back on those times when she and Tianlang-jun would tease and flirt with each other and despite everything, she must’ve felt so terribly, terribly alone.

Tianlang-jun, who begins as a legitimately almost pure-hearted maiden. He likes to bounce around the human realm and play their songs and read their stories and spend way too much money until he’s broke. And he falls so hard for Su Xiyan. He falls so hard for her, to the point that he brings her up constantly and he asks Zhuzhi-Lang whether or not he’s handsome and he trusts her and trusts her and trusts her… only for everything to be torn apart. Only to be buried under a mountain and stuck thinking that Su Xiyan is the one who caused all of it. Barely even able to mourn for everything he’s lost.

It isn’t like the world is kind to them after everything. Tianlang-jun is painted as a monster who was on the verge of storming the human realm. Su Xiyan is badmouthed the moment people find out that she was pregnant with Tianlang-jun’s child. No matter what she does, she can’t win. If she betrayed her sect for Tianlang-jun, then she was a traitor who was seduced by a demon. If she betrayed Tianlang-jun for her sect, then she was a horrible mother and terrible woman. If she tried to kill her unborn child, she’s unfit to be called a woman. If she tried to save him, she brought an unholy abomination into the world. She just can’t win.

And of course Luo Binghe’s supposed to be tragic. Of course his story is supposed to be sad. But he’s so desperate for any hint of affection and he’s told to his face that he’s an unholy abomination and his father doesn’t seem to care about him and his mother tried to abort him and it’s so easy to feel all alone. It’s so easy for him to feel like he doesn’t fit anywhere, because he’s both human and demon, which means he’s neither human nor demon.

The part that always makes me tear up is when Luo Binghe tries to merge the two realms together. He’s so desperate. He’s so broken. He doesn’t know what to do and he only knows that he doesn’t want to be left behind. He says that nobody has ever chosen him. He says that it would be fine even if Shen Qingqiu hated him, as long as he didn’t toss him aside.

And it’s awful! This family is awful! It’s so sad! It’s too sad! Su Xiyan chose Luo Binghe before anyone else did. Su Xiyan chose to save him, chose to try and keep him warm and dry. Even at the cost of her own life, she chose him! And she chose him because she loved Tianlang-jun! She basically poisoned herself trying to keep the only thing she had left of Tianlang-jun alive! Tianlang-jun says that Luo Binghe looks like her. Tianlang-jun can’t even be angry or sad when he mentions her, he just goes blank, until he finds out that she really wanted to save him and he can’t help but love her all over again! Tianlang-jun looks at Luo Binghe and Luo Binghe is proof that Su Xiyan loved him!

Luo Binghe realizes that he hurt Shen Qingqiu and he’s more than horrified. All he’s ever wanted to do is be strong enough that Shen Qingqiu doesn’t have to get hurt saving him anymore, but all he ever seem to accomplishe is hurting Shen Qingqiu himself. He tries to learn demonic cultivation to get stronger and he gets pushed into the Endless Abyss. He tries to learn spiritual cultivation and Shen Qingqiu dies in his arms. He tries to keep Shen Qingqiu’s body in perfect condition so that he can bring hin back to life, only for the body to be stolen out from under him twice. He asks, again and again, for Shen Qingqiu to choose him, and he never gets chosen.

But, you can’t actually blame Shen Qingqiu. Because all of those scenes of him not choosing Luo Binghe ARE him choosing Luo Binghe! He chooses Binghe and Binghe’s safety everytime, he just never realizes that he himself is necessary for Binghe to be safe. And why would he assume that? He hurt Binghe and he feels like he can’t be forgiven for it, to the point that all of his suffering is him punishing himself.

Luo Binghe in the wedding extra asks Shen Qingqiu to marry him and he’s so nervous beforehand that he literally trips. He stutters. And even after he asks, he tells Shen Qingqiu not to answer, because he can’t listen to the answer, he can’t listen to Shen Qingqiu turn him aside again and he contents himself with thinking that even if they aren’t married, Shen Qingqiu has indulgently allowed him to follow wherever he goes, and that’s enough.

So when Shen Qingqiu does say yes, it’s emotional. He’s shocked. And even as he pulls out all the stops for the “wedding,” I don’t think Luo Binghe is actually convinced that Shen Qingqiu meant it until the next day, when Shen Qingqiu calls him “Husband” without even being asked. I think that’s the moment it hit him. Shen Qingqiu chose him.

We start the novels by hearing a basic outline of PIDW, which starts with Su Xiyan choosing Luo Binghe. We end the novels with Shen Qingqiu choosing Luo Binghe. Luo Binghe finally, finally understands what it feels like to be loved.

Meng Mo and the Huan Hua Palace Master want Luo Binghe as their student because he’s powerful and capable and, in the Palace Master’s case, he reminds him of Su Xiyan. His wives, it’s somewhat strongly implied, mostly wanted him for sex and what he could do for them. Nobody ever really befriends Luo Binghe at any point. He’s always standing apart from others. He’s never part of the Huan Hua disciples and he stands out amongst the Cang Qiong sect disciples and he stands out among demons and he stands out among humans and

And he finally stands with Shen Qingqiu. He’s finally not alone. He’s finally someone’s first choice. He finally feels like someone’s first choice.

lmao

This was the funniest part of the extras to me

NEED👏THAT👏MAN👏PREGNANT ROUND 4 POLL 3

PROPAGANDA:

[Megatron]

"Just. Just look at this guy. He's already so big and so mad. He's going to be even more big and even more mad if someone knocks him up and he's going to make it everyone's problem, and he's capable of making himself a big problem for a lot of people. It's the middle of the 5 million year war and the Decepticons are more afraid of 20 tons of cranky warlord with morning sickness than of the enemy. The Autobots don't know what to do. The humans are getting a whole new education. It's a nightmare for everyone. Or it's peacetime and the peace progress and his post-war moral soul-searching just got a whole lot more complicated. Either way, no matter who did it - his deviously treacherous second in command, his loyal and possibly psychic third in command, his life-long Autobot nemesis/ex-boyfriend, his meteor-surfing co-captain, Tarn - there's going to be big drama.

Alternatively, it's Transformers One and he is a precious cinnamon roll who got his heart broken by everyone he trusted and now we can make it worse and make him even sadder!

Alternatively alternatively it's Bayverse and he might already have been knocked up before, we don't know where those hatchlings came from.

Basically what I'm saying is that there are infinite flavors of Pregatron and all of them are peak drama because that's how he rolls. Also you get to call him Pregatron which is always a win."

"He's got birthing hips and a desire to fuel the decepticon cause."

[Luo Binghe]

"I have no desire to see him pregnant I am merely doing this out of the goodness of my heart because I know he would want to be. You know that "I will defy biology and get you pregnant" quote? In his case it would be "I will defy biology and get pregnant". And considering the world he lives in he could do it too."

"I’d love to impregnate him, but I’d get more joy out of him being impregnated by Shen Qingqiu (his husband).

Reasons lbh should be pregnant

I want him to

Anyone of any gender can be pregnant but lbh has some great gender fuckery in svsss and being pregnant would fit great into that. He is referred to as maiden-hearted and given the nickname bingmei (little sister) by his husband. He loves to cook and clean and generally is a lot happier acting as a wife (except for sex). He would lean so hard into being pregnant I don’t think anyone could do it better. He would literally be glowing.

Cute little bingmei with a big belly and the world’s most perfect curls….

In order to even get pregnant, lbh would go out of his way to make it happen via some sort of magic plant sex pollen/curse/etc. I need to see how he makes it happen."

"He wants to be a wife and bear his teacher/husband's child so badly. He lives in dream of the day he will finally get to bottom."

"He canonically wants a period and honey he won't when he learns about the alternative (pregnancy)."

"You guys don't understand how badly Luo Binghe needs this. Due to certain circumstances, Luo Binghe's birth mother threw him into a frozen river to save his life. She herself then died, and his father was chained under a mountain. He was rescued from the river by a fisherman, but he grew up an orphan on the streets, abused by everyone, until a kind washerwoman took him in. However, she was so run-down from working to support him that she died, too. When he's still a child, he becomes a disciple of a prominent cultivation sect, but is consistently bullied and abused by his peers and his master/teacher alike. In the "original novel," before Shen Yuan transmigrates into it as Luo Binghe's shizun, Luo Binghe is thrown into the Endless Abyss, becoming an evil person, hurting everyone who previously hurt him tenfold, and even harming innocents, continuing the cycle of abuse. After Shen Yuan transmigrates into Shen Qingqiu when Luo Binghe is fourteen, in this version of the story, Luo Binghe's shizun treats him with kindness and he falls in love with him. But due to unavoidable circumstances, Shen Qingqiu still throws Luo Binghe into the Endless Abyss, forcing him to accept his demonic heritage, and Luo Binghe is left heartbroken and angry, not understanding why his beloved shizun would do such a thing, but he loves him still. At the end of SVSSS, Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu have reconciled and gotten married, and Luo Binghe's crimes are much less than they were in the original version of the story. The cycle of abuse is ended. But Binghe still retains the scars, and has still committed crimes. A child would be the perfect way to heal him, and to end the cycle of abuse entirely. It would be beautiful. Please vote for him to end the cycle of abuse."
