Quick Memento: Don't get Lurien mad

Okay, okay, not for the reasons you think.

You see, Lurien is not like Herrah who gets fiery and hot when she gets angry. Oh no. It's the ice cold anger of a quiet man. Once he's truly mad, you're screwed.

Case in point, the two pictures below.

Or I had too much fun drawing Lurien as a Blue Morpho Butterfly and had to do it with Lurien's cloak on. And honestly, I'm too scared right now to ask Lurien who or what truly pissed him off and I'm the author/artist!

If you could have any exotic pet, what would it be?

VD: Okay, I would say griffens would be so cool to have-

Razor: What about me??????

VD: No Razor, they kindly asked what kind of PET I would have, not pets.

Razor: But I-but I-

VD: Breathe fire. Not very practical.

Razor: But I roast marshmallows!

VD: Who roasted the pillows just last week?

Razor: I'm sorry! Please choose me!

Fuzzy Beak: Oooh! Butterfly! Pretty!

My take on what Lurien the Watcher is:

Okay, if you're new to the Hollow Knight fandom, time for me to introduce to an ongoing debate-> people have no clue what kind of bug Lurien the Watcher is. Concerning his fellow two Dreamers are not bugs (Herrah is a spider thank you and how did Monomon the JELLYFISH get into Hallownest!?!)

Anyways, people debate on what kind of bug Lurien is. Is he secretly a moth? (Oh the drama!) A dragonfly (that looks cool!) or maybe he is void! Many, including myself, say that Lurien is most likely a butterfly. They never mention what KIND of butterfly he could be...

So what if...

Lurien is a Blue Morpho butterfly?

First of all, Blue Morphos are blue, keeping in with Lurien's theme.

Second, Blue Morphos are one of the largest butterflies in the world with a wingspan of 5 to 8 inches! Which allows Lurien to be terribly tall, but not the tallest bug in Hallownest (which is true).

Third and finally, Blue Morphos have an interesting defense mechanism against predators: two different wing patterns. The back is blue (incredibly easy to spot) but the front (seen when the wings are closed) are brown with many pairs of "eyes", spooking predators into leaving them alone. And who in Hallownest has the reputation of seeing everything???

Also, cool fact, the blue on the Blue Morphos' wings are called by a light reflection. Combine that with the dark brown and suddenly the butterfly seems to disappear and reappear while flying.

There are so many more facts that I could share, such as Blue Morphos living longer than most butterflies or the fact that they go to sleep in caves and high trees so no one catches them. But this seems to be getting rather long. 😅

Oh this caused a pause because I'm still writing fics with these characters.

1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)

My friend and I were talking about "What if we got sucked into a story?" and we decided she would end up in a fairy tale. Now is she the innocent girl with onimous friends or the pixie herself...hmm...

Let's allow you all to decide.

Fairy Tale Girl ? OR...

Link to friend's tumblr in the above section.

Why is this so true?????

Oh this happened to me recently.

I want to write a fanfic about a guy going dancing. Okay, I need a festival. What kind of festival could work with an underground kingdom? Okay, which festival could I pull off? Ooh! This one works well with harvest season-oh! The traditions and-oh now I have more headcanons on how the economics work in the City of Tears-

Wait-what do you mean I haven't finished writing the burb to the story yet, much less the outline?

Writing fics is hilarious- what do you mean I have to Google diagrams of stairs now??

Me every time I see a Lurien Dad fanfic. Still sad I created the "Hornet & Lurien the Watcher" tag despite not being the first one to write them having a friendship or parent/child relationship.

You ever just browsing a couple you like on AO3 on your phone, and you get excited about the prospect of this soulmate au fic that pops up, only to realize it's your own fic?

This weird thing happened to me too. It was nice at first because "Ahh! 😃 Someone likes my work!" To "Wait da second? Why is this person commenting on how moving my writing is on my fanfic where I just post pictures? 😵"

Out of all the spammers I got, these bots were the nicest. (Especially after the panderers attempting to snag kids on my PG fanfic. 😡) But I still wish the person wrote a real comment actually praising parts of my work. (Again, praising me for moving writing on the fanfic with only artwork [not a comic], didn't even mention the AU the pictures were for)

Good news, haven't seen the bots in months. If they show up tomorrow, a work is getting put on private.

Any other AO3 writers getting spammed by comments that actually look like real comments but are rather… repetitive? They’re nice, effusive even, but after the second or third one I got suspicious. Not sure what the point of them is. Can’t find any links or anything that would make it a trap. Any ideas?

Okay, this could actually make sense. Also explains how the White Lady could know everything going on in Hallownest.

Alright, here me out...

What if the White Lady is a fungus?

Lurien is Hornets cool artsy uncle.

Honestly, I'm wondering the same question. Especially since the Tumblr community seems pretty active and interactive with original posters.

So I'm new to Tumblr and have a question ...

Why don't people comment?

I noticed a lot of people reblog, which I think is a super cool feature, but I'll find a super popular post with zero comments and it's weird. I actually love getting comments and it is odd that no one else seems to. Is it considered rude? I usually comment bc I don't like to reblog on my themed accounts (like my art account) so I'll comment. However, I don't want to come off the wrong way.

Tl;Dr - I'm new to Tumblr and wondering why no one seems to comment on posts, even popular ones.

Thanks for reading!

Got my brothers to laugh!

These Eeveeulations are so cute!!!!

"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting

Your Leafeon is still stunning, all these months later.

@violetdawn001 and I are both huge pokémon fans, so we did a collab where we designed Leafeon for other seasons. We decided the normal Leafeon was the springtime one, and summer will be covered in flowers! But we actually only designed 2, and she chose autumn and I did winter. I didn't want to do an all brown, dead looking Leafeon though 😂

This exactly fits Lurien, but hear me out. Give him an umbrella that turns into an umbrella-rifle or umbrella-sword and that would be Perfection!

This looks so cool! There are only so many human designs for Pokemon that feel like they fit the original Pokemon. This evolution line is one of them!
