Cave Salamander

Hi there! I'm CaveSalamander, also known as Sal, and this is my main blog. Links are below, along with what is essentially a list of my interests, or at least the things I have tagged a fair bit of. I don't reblog much, and this is mostly a journal and art blog.

I haven't gone back through and tagged everything, so some of these will appear to be broken. That will take a while still.

teaching myself to learn the puppet tool and some trapcode stuff in AE, so here’s another John from my Homestuck AU, Broken Gods

if tumblr’s file restrictions didn’t suck I’d have just posted the gif (which looks better imo) but alas. try not to view full screen cause I made this to be 500px wide :\

Holy shit this is awesome!!

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE ABHORSEN CHRONICLES:
BADASS FEMALE PROTAGONISTS: from Sabriel the prefect of an all-girls school to Lirael a shy librarian both of whom turn into duty-bound zombie killing soldier priests who rescue princes and battle necromancers and fight against what is effectively a trapped god, you can keep your Hermione’s and Katniss Everdeen’s thanx (and can we just talk about how the girls in the school TOTALLY JUMP INTO HELP THE SOLDIERS AGAINST KERRIGOR DESPITE KNOWING THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE??)
INCREDIBLE WORLD BUILDING: set in two neighbouring kingdoms - one resembling 1930’s britain the other a medieval fantasy realm that’s fallen into anarchy  plagued by Death NOT TO MENTION the world-weary soldiers manning the wall who are sick of your necromantic bullshit
TALKING ANIMAL COMPANIONS: not as cheesy as you think, since one is a sarcastic cat spirit who is scary as fuck when his true form is revealed and the other a wizened grandmotherly-like dog who rips out undead throats
COOL MAGIC: though it’s complicated it isn’t once confusing and you can’t beat dual sword-and-bell wielding, bells that can land you into death modeled after the Egyptian afterlife
GREAT CHARACTERS AND DEVELOPMENT: all the characters are forced to carry a duty and some succeed whilst others don’t but that’s okay because being born into a society doesn’t necessarily mean you belong there
GOOD ROMANCE: it’s subtle and forged out of friendship and trust and doesn’t define any of the characters or control any of the events in the story
NEW BOOKS COMING SOON: including Clariel which is a prequel based on Chlorr of the Mask WHO WAS AN ABHORSEN WHO TURNED EVIL!! like how awesome does that sound give me all the downward spirals for female necromancers AND there’s apparently going to be a sequel to the series too!!
POSSIBLE FILM IN THE MAKING: which means if you wanna get on that fandom first get on it now
IT’S JUST REALLY GREAT?? despite it being marketed as a YA book it’s still riveting and mature enough for older audiences (I think I might appreciate it more now that I’m older tbh) just UNF

YEAH

WHAT IS THIS? A NEW ABHORSEN BOOKS AND A POTENTIAL MOVIE??? 
Sounds like it’s time for another reread of the series… And here I was thinking I was the only person who’s ever read those books.

[1:15:18 AM] caveSalamander: Vriska is a bit sleeve but in a very diverse twat

cavesalamander

Auto-correct is hell, man.

(I think she means “Vriska is a bit skeevy but in a very different way” compared to Mindfang)

mutablemimic sent: The Star, Justice, and the Emperor

The Star: What inspires you?

Ideas. I guess. Or… Maybe the things that I see wrong with a thing. Whether it’s wrong with the world, or wrong with stories. Ideas that are so great aren’t always played out the way I’d like to see them played out, and I figure I’m probably not the only one who sees it like that. I dunno. Kinda a shitty way to be inspired but hey.

Justice: If you could be a super hero (or villain) what would you call yourself and what powers would you have?

I’d probably theme myself after a bird and I’d like to have techy brain powers and be able to do cool sciency stuff.

The Emperor: Do you have any family traditions?

We celebrate Christmas… And Easter? Easter is always b-days.

technicallysweet sent: Homestuck, Gunnerkrigg

❤ Favorite Male: Karkat. Karkat is wonderful and snappy and just… Good character.
❤ Favorite Female: Kanaya~ Or Meenah… Or the Condesce. Gah. Kanaya’s a bamf and wow she’s a girly looking girl but also wields a chainsaw and she sews and also tears apart the undead that dare encroach on her house? She takes care of the mother grub but also is willing to rip open her stomach to fulfill her destiny? She gets motherfucking killed but does that stop her from kicking ass and taking names? NO FUCKING WAY! As for Meenah/ The Condesce. Badass bitches who at the same time can be total fucking dorkwads? Yes please!
Favorite Pairing: One for each quadrant because reasons. Kanaya <> Karkat, Kanaya <3 Rose, Kanaya c3< Everyone, Vriska <3< Aradia.
❤ Least Favorite Character: Lord English or Gamzee.  Just… Fuck those guys.
❤ Who’s most like me: Jade probably! Or Feferi. Both of whom I have cosplayed hahaha! Both are feisty but mostly kind characters. Then when they do pull out bitch mode people, or at least the fandom, are taken by surprise. They’re both fairly optimistic too.
❤ most attractive: The Condesce. Also Mindfang. Shhh don’t judge. (Porrim too)
❤ three more characters that I like: Honorable mentions include the Dolorosa, Terezi, and Roxy.

mermaidemi sent: Gunnerkrigg court!

❤ Favorite Male: Reynardine! He’s such a little shit but also he’s really sweet and loyal. Good character.
❤ Favorite Female: Kat!! She’s so smart and nerdy and robots and gosh she’s just so great.
Favorite Pairing: Kat/ Annie. These two… I could talk about them for a while and I actually have but then I wasn’t connected to the real internet so my reply to this was lost.
❤ Least Favorite Character: Probably Coyote because he’s an asshole, but mostly in the way that I want to see him get his comeuppance cause he’s a great character, I just don’t like him because I’m not meant to like him. Also the headmaster, but he’s got less development and most of my emotion towards him is oh he’s an asshole.
❤ who’s most like me: Kat! She’s such a nerd and also a teacher’s pet. She likes birds. And robots. And sCIENCE!!!! Have you seen the official fanart of her ‘cosplaying’ GLaDOS? Or Yorda? I think we would get along. She also plays video games.
❤ most attractive: Hum… I don’t really have a feeling about this one. Jones is very nice looking. Paz is 100% adorable.
❤ three more characters that I like: Parley, Smitty, and Yesengrin. Very honorable mentions.
