interrupting my gaia avi art beginning because i wanna talk about FILORA
mentioned her offhand back in steampocalypse because she is the queen of hell! is she, therefore, a demon? NO she's a fire spirit // arguably? a god? of fire?
she just took over hell because she was bored. and now she has all this fucking? bureaucracy???? to deal with? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO HER, SHE MADE NO MISTAKES~♪ etc
she's also married with children, by the way. in no way should this terrible creature be trusted with children. zangan (the husband) raised the one and the other raised.... her own feral self, really

"Muitas das falhas da vida acontecem quando as pessoas não percebem o quão perto estão quando desistem." Thomas Edison Importante ressaltar que mesmo Thomas Edison desistiu em sua vida, quando das pesquisas do aperfeiçoamento do fluoroscópio, que ele abriu mão por causa dos prejuízos à sua própria visão e à vida de sua assistente. Todavia devemos recordar todas as inúmeras invenções, aprimoramentos e propostas do Sr. Edison em que ele não desistiu e, por isto, cravou seu nome na história da revolução tecnológica do Séc. XX e, obviamente, na história da própria humanidade. Como não sou Thomas, nem Edison, quiça um gênio a frente de meu tempo, sinto-me mais a vontade para dissertar sobre a desistência, ou ainda a falta de vontade de insistir em atividades que parecem tomar mais da minha energia do que eu posso sustentar. Mesmo que, por inúmeras vezes, eu possivelmente possuía não só a energia requerida, quanto talvez uma bela sobra. Me vejo muitas vezes refletindo que quando desistimos de uma batalha não houve derrota. Tão pouco vitória, apontará qualquer pessoa consciente em replica a essa minha ideia pouco criativa. Mas foquemos na ausência de derrota: dois estrategistas passam meses avaliando e recomendando ações para suas frentes na guerra, a fim de exaurir seus antagonistas e garantir a vitória. Em dado momento um destes estrategistas nota que, aparentemente, não vale mais a pena continuar se desgastando bolando estratégias para uma batalha que talvez ele não queira vencer. E então chega a um impasse: continuar atribuindo tempo e energia para aquela atividade de maneira pouco motivada pode acabar por lhe render uma derrota por erros primários que ele fatalmente cometeria. Mesmo caso ele se motivasse o suficiente para concluir com êxito sua estratégia, nada garante que a vitória irá lhe satisfazer de forma equivalente ao esforço envolvido. "Se eu desistir agora pouparei a energia que estou exaurindo e poderei assegurar que não serei derrotado." Vale ponderar, neste momento, que essa jogada só poderá ser levada em consideração caso exista equivalência de forças ou leve superioridade nas medidas adotadas pelo estrategista que apelará à desistência até o momento da polêmica decisão. Caso a desistência venha do lado que está pendendo à derrota, a condição de rendição será com certeza atribuída ao caso. Como em todas os momentos em que convenientemente ignoramos qualquer variável externa para nos permitir estudar um objeto isolado, iremos nesta proposta ignorar todas as pessoas que lutavam na guerra, que possivelmente serão dizimadas ou trancafiadas caso a piedade do lado oposto não os permita retornar ao lar, e os devidos comandantes e líderes que confiaram no relapso estrategista a vitória de suas forças.
E então vos pergunto: existe vitória na derrota? Existe derrota na vitória? Quantas nuances de cinza devemos enxergar para que cheguemos a conclusão definitiva? Ou talvez seja mais claro colocar desta forma: teria sido o medo da continua vitória que interrompeu a vontade de vencer desta personagem do caso acima? Fato é que, tudo feito e tudo dito, ele nunca poderá gozar do verdadeiro sentimento da vitória. Talvez esteja conformado com o destino de viver sempre com uma rasa vantagem psicológica. Talvez esteja somente cansado mesmo. Ninguém nunca sabe como ele pensa e como chegou as conclusões que levou, e sendo assim, qualquer interpretação dele e suas opções é mera conjuntura. Mas e nós mesmos? Como chegamos às nossas decisões de vitória ou derrota? Quando nos damos por vencidos ou quando nos consideramos vitoriosos? A batalha talvez, de um ponto de vista universal, nem tenha terminado... ou sequer começado.

Trying to come up with looks for the members of Nesiaris’ clan, starting with her parents Deyhnon and Filora.
Deyhnon was the Halla Keeper and was a super sweet heart and probably the calmest person in the world. Nesiaris stayed with him most of the time when she was a kid if she wasn’t off playing with the other kids. He died at age 28 during an attack by humans from a town near where the clan had been staying (Nesi was 10 at the time). Filora is the Craftsmaster and a loud and silly person. She’s the one who usually told Nesiaris outlandish stories before bed and was the fun parent (not to say Deyhnon was boring. Well, not always).
short summary:
this is a list about a girl on a journey
who finds herself
fights furiously and falls in love unwillingly
and will tear the earth apart to find the one who is gone forever
long summary:
okay so the cover art is proper fire god filora but this mix is actually based on the pokemon trainer au (which is in turn based on me, @spookyclouds (aka my sister), and @venxia‘s ORAS playthroughs)
filora (my trainer), fox (sister’s) and zangan (venx’s) all begin their pokemon journey at the same time. filora takes the torchic before zangan can and he is very miffed. fox takes the treeco and zangan is stuck with a mudkip, who he will firmly denounce having any sort of affection for but he is lying.
filora and fox are power-trainers; they fly through the gym challenge, take on the league, are actually part of the plot of the games to a certain extent. fox and filora decide to make it their goal to capture every legendary pokemon that exists. zangan tags along somewhat unwillingly
(there is a side-story during this era of filora having a mad, angry teenage-girl crush on zangan and making his life hell because of it. zangan is just a sad man who did not want to leave his house)
(they get together eventually)
(it’s a rough relationship but they make it work)
especially when, at some point during this, fox disappears. (off-screen of this story is the fact that fox is a a character who gains power by eating her other selves throughout the multiverse in an attempt to maintain herself as a universal singularity. fox the pokemon trainer did not stand a chance. she does not exist anymore)
filora and zangan only know that their best friend is missing, and they can’t find her. they put together team legendary partially in her memory, and partially as an attempt to gain enough influence to track her down
the idea was to look at a game based on team legendary as the new team rocket.
you start out with the pokemon and stuff you found lying abandoned in a forest. SPOILER. it’s fox’s stuff. filora and zangan descend upon you like the angry gods of fire they are, demanding to know where tf you got that. you, of course, have no idea. they’re not hearing any of it.
it’s absolutely a reversal of the usual pokemon adventure. filora and zangan start out with lvl 70-some pokemon and only progress as you go on. they trounce you regularly. (the game progresses based on your losses, it’s pretty rigged). they have all sorts of legendaries and they are tracking you down for whichever ones you manage to get before them. you find out about their friend and the stuff going on slowly throughout the course of the game
it’s uh
kind of a tragedy tho honestly, because fox is really and for seriously gone and filora and zangan are the only ones who remember her in this world and there’s. not actually a way to fix that.
whoops
anyway that’s the story that this mix illustrates so!!! have fun and good luck to anyone who actually bothered to read all this, gosh. ^^;;;;
so twitter has been doing this #anyonecanimproveatdrawing trend and i am forever a sucker for improvement memes
here is filora, the god of fire, from 2005 and yesterday/today respectively.
honestly back when i drew the first one i would have considered my curent level of skill unattainable and written it off as just. sort of. in a different league. like heavyweight versus lightweight divisions.
i guess that just goes to show the point of the thing, huh?
