"In the capital city, Manta Races are often a city-wide event. Fans wave flags and scatter flower petals in support of their favorite racing pair while the Mantas and their jockeys weave through the city's spires and bridges at near-reckless speeds. Overall, an incredibly enjoyable spectacle."
In the capital city, Manta Races are often a city-wide event. Fans wave flags and scatter flower petals in support of their favorite racing pair while the Mantas and their jockeys weave through the city's spires and bridges at near-reckless speeds. The city is green and blue toned, most buildings are scalloped roofs with large open windows. In the far background the ocean can be seen, and clouds sweep across the sky.

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

There is power in imposing an ending, even an arbitrary one. Things don't properly "end" in real life, they just flow into the next thing, but we are storytelling animals. We need things to end so we can begin something new.

brainworms from tumblr #octopathtraveler #alfion #art
digital art of therion and alfyn from octopath traveler. alfyn is crushing something with a mortar and pestle with a vaguely annoyed look on his face. therion is leaning over alfyn’s shoulder, pointing at the mortar and pestle and looking unimpressed. above both of them is a screencap of a tumblr post which reads, “(backseating you at the mortar and pestle) man you aint even squarshing it”. a quote bubble is drawn around this post, indicating that therion is saying it.

So you've been swimming to collect Nilotpala Lotuses all this time?
You... Looks like it was a good idea to prepare this boat.

Freeing the Spirits of the Sea
This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

almost done with my m9 rewatch and i’m in shambles 😭 #criticalrole #crc2 #art
an assortment of mostly sepia-toned digital drawings of various characters from campaign 2 of critical role: essek casting resonant echo, jester summoning her giant lollipop spiritual weapon, beau wildly theorizing with a mess of notebooks and papers in front of her, and caleb mulling over the spell components for the nein-sided tower, with frumpkin at his side

This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.
theplanetaryguy.bsky.social Paul Byrne @theplanetaryguy.bsky.social · Oct 28
Another STUNNING image from JWST, this time of the Red Spider Nebula—the vast, wispy, gaseous remains of a now-dead star, the white dwarf core still glowing in the centre.
A series of wispy, blue strands emanate from the centre of the image, which is glowing orangey–red with a little pink. The background is FESTOONED with stars, all set against a black backdrop.

"As early autumn stirs, the breeze begins to rise. Red leaves drift, bearing unspoken feelings." Maybe it's just the cooler weather setting in.

Nowhere will beat Tumblr's tag system and by that I mean people saying really lovely and nice things about your art in the tags and I wish I had time to draw fancy art all the time b/c I love hearing the nice things once in a while XD
