<takes heart and places it in your hands> Love and appreciate you too!! One my earliest and loveliest HZD friends!! I have SO much admiration for your commitment to your craft and to the Three Stooges the three loveliest men in HZD! Nil, Avad, and Erend foreverĀ ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Eee I love and appreciate you too!! All the mutual Niloy appreciation and love!! You know that Aloy video you did to Flames by Sia? I still think of it every time I listen to that song! xoxo
(A nice medical-inspired heart gif especially for you, my friend!)
Aloy rose slowly to her feet and racked her bow on her back. Taking down Scorchers was much safer in her fire-protective Carja blazon armour, but she always felt ridiculously exposed afterwards, when the cold slammed back in with all the force of a Stormslinger bolt.
She clenched her teeth to stop them from chattering as she bent down to loot the Scorcherās mangled corpse. Then she frowned as she became aware of a strange sound: an ominous gurgling roar about twenty paces away.
A new machine, she thought urgently. One that spits boiling oil, maybe?Ā Swiftly Aloy spun on her heel, her blast sling in hand, ready to take on her new opponentā¦
And for the umpteenth time since entering the Cut, her mouth dropped open in awe as a powerful fountain of water suddenly surged out of the ground and high into the sky. A delicate white cloud of steam roiled away from the geyserās gushing spray and immediately froze into ice crystals, reflecting the sunlight like sparkling fireflies made of water.
Aloy could hardly breathe. Sheād never seen anything like this before. Eagerly she stood and approached the geyser with the same slow, amazed caution that she would use to approach a newly tamed machine. Curiously she peered into the hole in the ground where the water had spewed out, and her jaw dropped again, this time with delight: the water was simmering in the ground – simmering as though it was in a pot suspended over a fire!
Eagerly Aloy held her hands over the warmth of the geyser hole until the simmering water started to boil with a dull roar. Then Aloy backed away swiftly, and not a moment too soon: the geyser erupted again, its jet of hot water surging into the air with all the powerful ferocity of a Snapmaw attack.
Aloy laughed out loud as the warm cloud of steam rolled over her and beaded in her hair and eyelashes. Gently she wiped her eyes and gazed up at the sparkling cloud of condensation. The crystallized ice glowed gold in the fading light of day, and thatās when Aloy realized it was sunset: the fading light of day was sending its last determined rays over the distant mountain peaks, dyeing the sky with a kaleidoscope of pinks and purples.
Aloy sighed with satisfaction. She no longer felt the cold on her bare skin.
After all, what harm was there in a little bit of cold, when heat could surge straight from the center of the earth?
I have big plans for this drawing and I am really proud of how it turned out. I am starting to see improvement in my art and I am excited to see where it takes me.
Thank you to the wonderful @liderfin for providing the screenshot inspirationĀ and @pikapeppa for the cheerleading.
If you would like to chat about art or dragon age or anything really. I would love to.
He looks amazing Nova!!! Iām so psyched for you and so envious of your drawing abilities!! ā¤ļø
Rules: Tag 15 people you want to get to know better!
Relationship Status: Partnered for ~6 years and engaged for 2 of them. A wedding might happen. More likely an elopement. If I can ever get my ass in gear and plan it XD
Lipstick or Chapstick: Chapstick (i.e. lip balm)
Three favorite foods: dim sum (ALL the dim sum), chicken katsu, and pastitsio. Pastitsio is a Greek layered pasta dish and the recipe I like is from this one specific cookbook at my parentsā house. If anyone cares, I can send it to them by DM LOL
Last Movie I watched: Extinction on Netflix. OMG GUYS, this movie was so good. A wonderful little sci-fi flick about humans and droids and the meaning of humanity, with a great ending song.Ā
Top 3 Tv Shows: I HATE THIS QUESTION ALWAYS, because my favourites shows donāt always coincide with the shows I consider the highest quality shows OR with the shows Iām most obsessed with. But if pressed to pick just three, Iāll go with the following:
– Better Call Saul:Ā yes, I actually like it more than Breaking Bad. Better Call SaulĀ has a lot more focus on character development, which is my catnip, and they play so heartwrenchingly with the fact that we know what happens in the future of the show. There has never been a better prequel of anything, in my opinion.
– Mad Men: another very character-driven show where all the characters develop and change so organically over the course of the seven seasons. It is a quieter show, I know, but god, in terms of character writing… Itās amazing.
– Greyās Anatomy: Iāve watched the first 5-6 seasons more times than I can count. I gave up on it in season 7 because it was getting too stupid, but the first 5 seasons are a great balance of drama/will-they-wonāt-they (I LOVE THAT SHIT) and the trials/tribulations of being a noob youngster working at a hospital, which really called to me when I first started working in the hospital setting myself.
Book Iām currently reading: Err… not currently reading anything. I also havenāt read aĀ āpublishedā book in over a year because Iām too busy reading and writing fanfic… Oops XD
Last thing I googled: Season 6 of Greyās Anatomy so I could remember when I stopped watching it HAHAH
Time: 8:14pm.
Dream Trip: If Iām being lame: back to Iceland (lame because Iāve already been there). If Iām being exciting: South Korea/Singapore/Japan.Ā
Anything you want: To not go to work tomorrow so I can finish up this Blackwall/Lavellan fic Iāve been tapping away at for like two weeks. HEY REAL LIFE, BUGGER OFF SO I CAN WRITE MY FANFIC, K? THX GOOD TALK.
He brushes his knuckles along her cheek, and she jerks her face away.
Nil smirks. āCome now, Suntress, no need for such resistance. Make your choice.ā He strolls around the chair until heās facing her seated form.
She narrows her eyes and defiantly tosses her head, but her unruly hair spills over her bare breasts. āAnd what if I want both?ā she demands.
He backs away a step and folds his arms. āA hunter with divided attention gets no kills at all. You need to pick. Lips or fingers?ā
She shoots him a glare, then looks away with her chin lifted in a haughty tilt. Nil smirks more widely, even as his cock pulses with heat. Her defiance is an act, an attempt to make him lose control, but it never fails to pique his interest.
He shrugs and turns away. āAs you wish, Suntress. I can leave-ā
āFine, fine!ā she blurts, and he hears a faint creak of wood as her hands pull at the scarf thatās binding her to the chair. Ā āFire and spit. Lips, then.ā
He turns back to face her and smiles. āWise choice,ā he murmurs.
