Like look at this fucker- why did they model him like that???
Let's be honest
And I would drop everything to love her<3
'World Through Rose Glass' by me, Ash.
This was drawn for a project in year 12 but I made it digital and am now sharing it here
Basically like the saying 'the world through rose coloured glasses' or smth but looking through this beauty and the beast style rose you see a better version of the clearly not so good world.
Posted this on Instagram but I thought it would be good here as my first actual post.
Double life Redlife!Pearl and her pack of wolves. The one sitting is Tilly.
Got another one, more art for a fic. there are versions without the little bubble of their faces which is what i'll use in the fic but Tumblr gets the little reaction bubbles :)
This is our darlin wolf, Enid Sinclair after a workout or fencing... idk
Since season 2 is airing and I am in love with Bella Ramsey, I was just thinking about the show and what I know of the story (I haven't watched a playthrough so I only know stuff from googling and the show) and the whole reason for the first game is a little dumb to me. Spoilers possibly ahead
I would like to say, I know that this shit might just take away the impact of Joel's choice in the end. That being said, i'm gonna say it anyway.
So we know that Eliie is born immune because her mom was bit during child birth and the fungus is just... in her brain. Marleen knows Ellie is immune, Marleen was there when Ellie was born - well after Ellie was born.
The whole plot of the first game and season of the show is Joel taking this immune girl across the country from Boston to Colorado so that the fireflies can make a vaccine and protect, I assume, themselves and others.
First of all, Fungus ain't a Virus. Vaccine's don't really work for Fungus (though there is research trying) so the whole plan wouldn't have worked. The doctor, Abby's dad Jerry, wouldn't have been able to do shit. Jerry would have killed an innocent girl, presumably the only immune person known about at that point, for a plan he didn't have one hundred percent certainty on. They just assumed something would work without any ideas to test their theory.
Marleen was leading them - I think - and as I said, Marleen was there after Ellie was born and her mum was infected... she killed Ellie's mum. So Marleen should have put two brain cells together and thought about the possibilities of how Eliie was immune, there would have been only one real way for it to happen - The cordyceps from the bite on her mother travelled through the umbilical cord and infected the baby but in such a small amount that it didn't harm baby Ellie. Even if momma said she was bit after, she shouldn't have believed her after seeing Eliie survive a bite and not turn.
That brings me to how they should have gone about testing before going to last resort of killing Ellie.
First idea is a long con, it would take years.
If Marleen thought of the whole 'momma infected caused newborn baby to be immune' thing and decided to test it. It would be very inhumane but in a time of murder and betrayal and anarchy, I doubt it would matter much. They grab a woman, someone from their enemy or someone who wronged them, a traitor or spy, whatever and lock them up. Get a male member to act like they are seducing or being seduced by the prisoner and they have sex, woman gets pregnant - as Isabella Merced said, people in times of high stress feel the need to procreate - and she stays locked up, fed enough and kept safe for 9 months. Close to the due date of the baby, maybe while she's in labor, get her bitten and deliver the baby (either push or c-section, idk) and then kill the mother so she doesn't turn... or keep her as a captive infected for future turning. Raise the child and then, at some point have the child get bitten and take note of what happens. If the child doesn't turn then hooray, you've found a way to make guaranteed immune kids and can use more enemy's to create these kids... when they grow up and procreate, their immunity will hopefully pass onto their babies. Boom, infected are no longer a threat other than y'know, being ripped apart and bleeding out kinda shit.
If it doesn't work and the kid isn't immune then fuck- now you have to kill a kid.
Second Idea is a bit quicker, could be done at the same time as the baby plan.
Somehow get infected blood and study it a bit and then find - once again - an enemy or traitor, whatever to use for the lab rat. Put them in a cage, inject them with a bit of infected blood and monitor results.
If they turn, the plan is trashed.
If they don't however, monitor the effects and possibly inject more, get more varied subjects and use the same conditions to test if it was dependent on genes or not. After some time and possibly several injections of infected blood, send them out or get them bit somehow and then lock them back up and monitor them.
If they turn, it didn't work.
If they don't turn, congrats, you found a way to make everyone immune to the fungus. Now do that to everyone and hooray you good, just gotta not be ripped apart.
This leads to me saying, the entirety of part 2 (and season 2 of the show) happened because Abby was sad about her dumb dad dying. Reasonable to be sad, not reasonable to go off and hunt Joel down and kill him... especially after he saves her life from a horde!
This would have also meant Ellie and Dina could be happy! No revenge plot!
(Take this with a grain of salt, I do not have any qualifications and am making assumptions and shit about the universe... this just came to my head one night and would not leave!)
If you see this, I have an art Instagram I post to randomly... you could check it out maybe :3

Bianca in the house baby! Just adding to my Wednesday crew drawings... all shirtless for... some reason :)
i swear Bianca looks different in every drawing I do mostly the scales tho because i'm learning with how to do those in a way I like. Anyway, buff Bianca my beloved!
another one for my fic. gotta have our main girl Wednesday in here :)
As any Emma Myers fan did, I watched 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' but not before I read the book... and then I read 'Good Girl, Bad Blood' and plan to re-read it when season 2 of AGGGTM comes out. Then I read 'As Good As Dead' and will re-read it when season 3 ends up getting made hopefully... that series broke me, i'll keep spoilers for it out of here but I was broken by that book series, I am yet to read 'Killjoy' the prequel but when I find it and buy it I will read it.
On to the point that made me write this... of course the endings of the trio hurt, still hurt when I see a meme about them... this is not about AGGGTM, this is about a different book, one I read because of the trio. I literally, a minute before I opened up Tumblr to write this, I finished 'Five Survive'. For fuck sakes, I think Holly is allergic to happy endings, she writes amazing stories that - as someone who hated reading after being a book loving kid - I actually sit down and read. Holly's official job title is 'Author/Torturor'!!!!
This i- when I tell you I didn't see the end coming, I didn't fucking see it in my wildest theories! I spent the first bit thinking Simon had a secret, then we learnt about his and it wasn't THE secret.
Never would have seen the Oliver and Reyna thing, She was cheating on him??? He killed a man???? Side note: I hate Oliver Lavoy with a passion. It's the same Hatred I have for Max Hastings. He punched a guy - reasonable - with lethal force - not reasonable - and then acted as if he wasn't a murderer. If you kill someone in self defense, you still killed someone. He acts like his shit don't stink and that he can do no wrong! Holly loves making rich white men bad and I love her for it.
Back to my rant. Then Red confessed she was the one with the secret! Didn't expect her to have been the witness only to then fucking find out she wasn't! that she was paid off to pretend to be a witness!!! Honestly I don't fault Red, she's an icon and deserves better than she fucking got bro- #StanRedfordKenny
Then there's Arthur. When suspecting Simon of being the one, I also thought it was him. Fucking hell I was right! When I tell you I freaked when Arthur smacked the walkie-talkie out of Red's hand, I almost threw the fuckin book. Did not expect the sweet man to be part of the damn mob! the Mafia! Red almost had that Mafia romance that booktok love.
Then it turns out that Catherine Lavoy, Oliver and Maddy's mom was the bad one, she's the one who was going to pay Red to lie... who also gave Red's name to the mob to get her killed for being a witness! her own daughter's best fucking friend! then its said that she fucking killed her own best friend because she found out??? Catherine deserved her death, thank you Arthur for doing it. Catherine was ready to sacrifice her daughters best friend for her career as a DA?? its like she didn't give a shit, with that, clearly Oliver took after her because he just sent his sister out to danger without a care!!
Maddy is the only person there who didn't do anything wrong! She was a great friend, Kind and loving, made sure Red could come on the break trip... Kinda ship Red and Maddy but that's a different thing entirely.
The fucking letter from Arthur to Hospitalised - and possibly in a coma - Red broke me! I thought Red was dead, prepared to cry over a Holly Jackson book for the 100th time but I was relieved when she was alive and in hospital, Arthur was shitty but he came through... but the fucking open ending Holly!?!? Did we need to never find out if she talks to him and forgives him, if she forgives Maddy??? Just like I need something from the show after the end of 'AGAD' like a bit where Pip goes back and hugs and apologizes to everyone she loves, she kisses Ravi and loves him.... I need something for this, some closure about if Red forgives him or not!!!
Holly Jackson, you have become my favourite author and that wasn't hard but now i'm invested and need your other books. I know they'll break me just as bad but I need them!
I apologise for the rant, if you made it to here, Hello, I hope you're having a good day, its definitely better than Red's was.... girl got shot in the chest twice by a cop she was trying to protect.
Please get drink some water, eat something that will nourish you, get some sunlight and read Holly's books, I need her to keep writing so maybe one day she'll learn how to write a happy ending at some point... please...
Hello! i'm Ashton! i'm a gamer, artist and a writer... or at least i hope i am. Just a place for me to post fun stuff like art and stuff to do with projects.Also might include a few random rants/reviews of intrests i have at the time
