It’s been a few months since Empires s2 came to an end and I wanted to make a piece reflecting on the time we spent with these characters 🥰✨ When season 1 ended I did a series of paintings set to the End Poem, and so I decided to revisit the concept once again, making sure to switch up which line corresponded to which person. This series means a lot to me—in fact, this is one of two big Empires s2 projects I’ve been working on! There’s another one still in the works :D
The Gemcyt Diamond Authority
Couldn't decide on background or not, so here's both. Well, technically the black is a background, but whatever.
Lizzie design by @chrisrin and the other three (Sparklez, Dantdm and Stampy) by @ingapotejtoo
Pose and coloring style referenced and inspired by images from ' Your Mother and Mine'
Also under the cut I'll put a solid color version with a transparent background
"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.
Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.
We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.
Okay, I don't know if someone noticed this Glamrock Bonnie and the prototipe of Glamrock Freddy had the same pattern of claws on their chest:
Plus, Glamrock Freddy prototipe has claws... So I think we have new leads for the "Who killed Glamrock Bonnie theory":
Edit: GUYS MY FRIEND REMINDED ME THAT IN MONTY HALL WE FOUND A STATUE OF FREDDY WITHOUT A HEAD GUYS MAYBE MONTY KILLED THE PROTOTIPE BECAUSE OF REVENGE FOR DESTROYING BONNIE
Trying to explain anything when you have adhd
It's the 'hear me out' that gets me
What i like even more is Jerma actually does have adhd and will explain it sometimes on stream

what if we were both vampire bats and we wanted to deepen our social bond 🥺👉👈
every once and a while i see empires (particularly s1) fics where Fwhip’s full name is “Fail Whip” (aka what his username actually stands for). i entirely understand why people do this HOWEVER. the implication that fwhip and gem’s parents named their children “gemini” and “FAIL”?????? funniest thing ever especially because no one ever questions it.
couldn't leave this in the tags
STOP I CAN'T
Something deeply painful is the fact that seasons, especially fall, dont feel the same. Not because of individual maturity but because climate change has impacted the weather patterns so so so much that we cant even experience the same annual shifts that our ancestors have for centuries
I feel displaced, i yearn for the spring, summer, fall, and winter that i can barely remember experiencing
To make things worse, if you’re under 50-60 years old, you can’t even remember what normal seasons were like because you weren’t alive to experience them
In the graph above, you can see how there’s a clear tipping point in the late 1970′s, which is when global temperatures first began to really skyrocket.
I was born in 1997, so about 20 years after this shift occurred. There is an immense difference between the climate now and the climate I remember growing up in, but the way I experienced the seasons in my childhood was already fundamentally different from what the seasons were supposed to be like! My parents were pretty much the last generation to experience a normal climate, and that’s just... incredibly sad
I am processing this information in a normal way devoid of rabid rage and bloodlust i am processing this information in a normal wa-
I'm just old enough to remember the tail end of real seasons. I can't express how different it is now.
