I'm fighting my demons;

The demons are needing to clearly write out an established and firm magic system for my aus before I can write fics.

[deceptive-yogs]

My CPU conked-out and I've been board out of my gord so I've decided to start making beaded stuff for the time being. I've decided to get my ass started I'm making stuff relating to Yogs /+ this au. Doing one for the traitors first... But the only orange bead I've found is too much a different shape bead than the rest to make a bracelet that isn't wonky so I get to dig more through The Hoard Bin under my desk for an orange.

Traitors the bead colors represent:

Light pink = Ben

Deep Pink = Tom

Red = Bouphe

Purple = Rythian (ofc)

Orange = Osie

Blue-Star. The Hat-Trick. Swindlers.

"We're Grifters. Scammers. Loan Sharks. Fraudsters."

"Super Stars."

Sips: OG member of the Yogs criminal group.

Sips is sort of retired from crime. He used to be a powerhouse and very active member of the Yogs, but now? Mostly just likes to relax with all the money he's got in a warm sunny country at the beach.

He is still a powerhouse of a magic haver.

Sips has magic, very strong magic.

It appears blue, and often sparkles around him or objects he's interacting with. The best explanation of what his powers are, is telekinesis.

Sips is very good at being destructive and dangerous with his abilities.

Sip’s current crew is loud and infamous.

You do not fuck with them.

They will ruin your life. Ooooor just murder you.

At least you'll probably go out with a bang!

Sip's resides in a warm country, chilling on a beach sipping cocktails surrounded by BBW’s (Big Beautiful Women <3). Unless he feels like participating or something seems like a big enough threat for him to get off his ass and show up for a job.

The Hats are “Jack of all trades, master of none” in terms of who does what during their missions.

They can all play any role in a job.

From the socialite, the gunner, the driver, the tech, the brawler, you get the idea.

They switch it up constantly, as they all have their own flare that helps them in unique situations. They keep the law guessing.

Sort of opposite of Sips, or Ms. Bacon, who are both powerhouse criminals in their own way and don't need a team to do huge jobs.

Frost (Craig) manages the Hats Paperwork and does most of the tele-communication between The Swindlers to Hat-Trick. (Sends the Hats the locations of where marks or targets were last seen or where/when jobs are)

SpiffingBrit/RTGame(Dan)/Mango: the Swindlers.

These three do more social and subtle crime. Forgery, money laundering, etc.

Tricking ppl to sign contracts for money loans, and then Hats chase them down to collect.

did simple colors for their headshots too

Deception au face refs for Rythian and Tom im working on full character refs for these two and the sisters but it's taken ages to finish and i was itchin to decide on the colors for these two.

[deceptive-yogs]

finally came to terms with the fact my ass is not finishing these versions of refs Started them in May and stopped working on them after 2 months, and now my art has improved so much that i would rather redraw them entirely. Also they are drawn on such a huge canvas that it's obnoxious to me now to draw on.

Bouphe-Osie Rythian-Tom

[deceptive-yogs]

fun little wip im gonna work on tomorrow because i cant look at the actual character ref art and finish it.

Bonus character info from the google doc

these are the only coherent parts of the doc i have lol

[deceptive-yogs]

these were fun to make so now u may see them too

I made color roles for a discord server for fun too (below) (no art)

I'm working on writing Sips for this au and i have to show the masses my favorite part

It's Granny Bacon.

Taken from my draft doc

Ms. Bacon also lives in this town. She primarily works a bar and makes drinks for sips. Learning all of the new possible combinations she can. One of Sip’s ladies served drinks in bars in cities during college, and also knows a lot about mixology. The two make some… interesting drinks. Sips is a trooper for trying them all.

Ms.Bacon is a 75+ yr old woman who will NOT put a shirt on. She’s retired and in a tropical resort-like town. You couldn’t pay her to wear an actual shirt. “Not so saggy in my push-up!” *Horrified Ross sounds* “Ms.Bacon please…”

Ms.Bacon used to do the same shit the hats do “in her hayday”. She was Sips’s mentor. Was. Is. She still will absolutely school him every time they play any kind of board,card, etc game. Sips rarely loses these to ANYONE else. He HATES playing with her cause she always wins, and he always says she cheats. “The only time I DON'T cheat is when I play you, Sips.” Which is the truth. But he refuses to believe that she can genuinely read his every tell even when no one else can.

have been project jumping to much lately so im sharing these character form sketches. bouphe - osie - rythian - tom

Headcanon: Since Kiryu is 48 and has spent nearly a quarter of his life in prison, he isn’t the best selfie taker.

[deceptive-yogs]

no matter how terrible my day is. i can always end my day in bed imagining fictional characters making out sloppy style and fucking raw. and that's beautiful. there's some good in this world mister frodo and it's worth fighting for

[deceptive-yogs]

Some fun old art of mine of first tries on designs for these two for this au left is Sept 2023, right is 2021

...annoyingly looking back at these i didnt fucking give tom glasses in either of them???? it's hurting my soul. Also i guess i thought his eyes were green???? for some inexplicable reason????

You can pry green eyed rythian from my cold dead hands!! ... Green eyed rythian is because i kept not drawing him from his mc skin reference but from memory after i thought i knew what his skin looked like and then kept color picking from previous art i'd done of him cause i liked the colors i had and didnt want to keep it consistent. i've been color picking my rythian colors since like 2017. dont @ me.

These r just basic colors, i'm gonna try and make more intresting pallates. I'll probably add more details in hair and skin with the final art if i dont loose my mind getting there.

loose my mind further? I know someones gonna mcfuckin loose it over the concept of color picking from ur own art for over 5 years 😭

I have a couple draft posts of art and writing but I'm doing that thing again where I get really nervous Abt sharing AU stuff publicly.

Probably in part to the fact family thinks all my interests are dumb and I kind of connect what their reactions would definitely be to what this is to what stranger would react like.

It's funny because it's not even an insecurity about my writing or really even the art I'm doing. I am actually feeling confident in my storytelling and the art I'm doing for this.

There is also the fact that I know some of the IRL members do lurk and even less-than-lurk on this website and in the fanart tags. The insecurity Abt sharing is definitely more worried Abt outsider reactions rather than thinking it's not good enough. Which surprisingly isn't connected??? Because I really like and enjoy what I've been doing???

I'm definitely thinking Abt blocking some of the content creators that I know are around on Tumblr that the characters of the au share a namesake and possible appearance with.

But I'm also like "That's rude what if they like it?"

This au is such a mash of content and then just original ideas that it really only vaguely feels like the sources. But there's some obvious pulls and references.
