A little bit of an art dump! Fen, my love... god she is so cute... I loved drawing her in the little sweater 😭 I really craved drawing her again she is just so perfect and sweet. I go crazy over her

Then we have a chibi Hain! I have never really liked my chibi artstyle and always found them hard to draw, but I always get ideas for chibi art. Today I tried something new, and I think it came out very well! Of course, Hain was my test subject because I love tormenting her.

And lastly, we have Cater Diamond. I originally didn't really like how it came out, but I still want to post because there are quite a few things I like about the drawing. I guess it looks too rough to me or something? But I wasn't satisfied just drawing regular Cater and leaving it at that, so I wanted to give him a bit of a rougher look. I guess when it comes to drawing non-OC characters, I can get very particular about drawing their exact details. But, I mean, you can still clearly tell that it's Cater, so yay me!

Oh man I would absolutely devour the Ikuina fragrance. That would be heavenly. In my perfect imagination, Towa does inexplicably smell like smoky but fresh linens all the time, but alas, it is only my imagination. Ikuina and Rei definitely smell good though.

In terms of the best smelling protagonist… maybe he’s not the best, but I’ll be controversial and say Konoe. Sure, he’s a catboy out in the wild, but he’s also a CATboy. There are countless posts that people make about how their cats smell delicious like cinnamon or vanilla or something. Could be the case for Konoe.

I saw online that this was a thing from the Space a la Mode Nitro Chiral merch line and my instant reaction was "I WANT TO SMELL LIKE TOWA" before realising that he might be the worst protag to actually smell like given he probably smells of alcohol, cigarettes, and (if not for Taku) unwashed clothing.

Craziest things that happened in the TWST rp that me and my gf did in 2022

Please don't take this stuff seriously at all! It was just a lot of crack stuff and I just thought it would be funny to post. Our twst rp was absolutely off the walls insane and I wanted to share some of the stuff from it. Please enjoy hehe :)

Jamil revealing his signature spell to Cater 3-4 times and Cater acting like it was shocking and new information each time

Sebek getting plowed over by a Bugatti, which belonged to Leona and had gone out of control. It was being driven by Ruggie with Silver and Malleus riding in the back. It drove off a cliff and everyone prepared to die, but Malleus used his magic at the last second to save everyone from plunging to their doom on sharp rocks.

Leona and Ruggie kidnapping Epel and tying him to a chair as they forced him to watch the two of them blow up his Minecraft base in the schoolwide Minecraft server (Idia permabanned them afterward because he was the mod of the server)

Azul going crazy and trying to shoot himself with a real gun kept in his desk, only to discover that it had been replaced by one of the bean guns from Beanfest by Jade and Floyd. Azul then shot Floyd with it in his anger who caught the beans in his mouth and ate them

The Bachelor with Floyd to prevent him from getting with Riddle, put on by Ace

Neige going to federal prison

Neige breaking into Pomefiore and ‘killing’ Ortho (Crowley revived him)

Rook being possessed by Neige

The Changeling

Malleus overblot because he was freaking out over Lilia ‘dying’ but he was really just worried about his bats being sick

Ace getting kidnapped and presumed dead. The gang found a dead body in a river nearby wearing the same shoes as Ace, causing Deuce to spiral into grief. It was later discovered that Ace was alive and the person was someone who Crowley had killed like 40 years ago and refused to discuss further

Crowley and Trein divorced husbands

Crowley getting a female cat for Lucius to try and convince Trein that they should get back together

Octavinelle having only four students (there used to be five but they transferred to another dorm and were presumed dead by the remaining NPC member after the Octotrio threatened them)

Neige stealing Cater’s identity and flirting with Vil using his account causing Rook to become incredibly mad and try to kill him)

The Octotrio spread a rumor about Vil which prompted Rook to harass them for weeks on end by pretending to be the lamp in the room

Maybe my type is just like, peppy and cute characters with a secret darker side or something, but every time I remember Trick King Cater it makes me insane to be honest. There is a technomancer twink/character that I have featuring in the next arc whose design is still pending, and now I’m really wondering…

Without those cornrows of course… 😭 GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR ROOM FOR THAT YOUNG MAN!!

if you ever find yourself thinking “wow I scraped the bottom of the barrel with my energy with that and came out okay!” that’s the devil talking. you did not come out okay. you borrowed energy from the future. you will repay it if you don’t rest and replenish the borrowed energy first.

Draw or write for the remainder of today… not sure. Feels like I have equal motivation for both. If I draw I’ll draw another freak girl, and if I write I’ll write about a freak girl (Luna). Thoughts… opinions…

[diced-sugar]

Lil sketch for the day… In the first post that I made of her, I said that PM would go to a bar probably. But I had another idea shortly after where she would actually just go to the bar and order only glasses of water and just chill out there. Maybe there’s someone there she wants to talk to or something idk. Either way yay more PM content :D

Also thinking that maybe that will just be her name. The lore can be that P.M. were her initials, and for some reason or another, that’s all she can remember, so she just goes by that name :D

Pose also inspired by me usually sitting with my arm under my boobs… anyone else who has big boobs can maybe relate

Weekly update: Ouch!

I briefly talked about a medical issue that I was dealing with, and honestly it was a lot better than it could have been. But cysts are no joke, I’m just grateful that I was able to get the treatment I needed and fast! Because of the cyst, I was out of commission for the majority of the week but fret not! I am still here to discuss everything that I did!

I decorated some more CDs! I am trying to be less analytical about using my stickers and this is just one way I can use them more! The whatever, dad cd was the first cd I ever burned! My mom had taught me to burn them in elementary school but I never felt the need to burn a cd until I listened to that band. Their stuff still means so much to me and I really am grateful that I still have this cd after all these years. And the Connie converse is my newest burned cd! I’ve gushed about her a bunch but hadn’t gotten her music on a cd till earlier this week! I think both CDs are super cute and I had a lot of fun decorating them!!!

Speaking of CDs…that’s right. I am now the official owner of the one and only black butler Noah’s circus arc ost cd…I SCREAMED WHEN I FOUND IT LISTED FOR ONLY 14 BUCKS! Surely there had to be something wrong with it! But nope! It runs perfectly and it even came unsealed! Like WHAT?! Oh this fills me with so much fucking joy I love book of circus and the soundtrack so so so much!!! It’s my second fav arc and I can’t wait to listen to the cd while I journal or cook!

I tried my best to get some writing done this week and I did! I got two chapters done and started the next one. While I do feel a tad bad for not writing as much Dear Nightingale to the same capacity as I previously have, I’m still very proud that I got something done! Also, due to Google docs training their ai off of your writings, I switched over to ellipsus and it’s so much better! I plan to get the prologue and up to chapter 5 updated for people here to preview!!! And this whole week, my cat Sasha has been dutifully by my side. Here she is while I was writing, so cute!

I didn’t drink as much tea this week as I usually do. I just was too tired to make it and my mom would only make me tea if I was sick. But one of the times I did I had my lps by my side and I took this cute photo. Fun fact, to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, Miranda and I got each other a matching lps! But we decided to be quirky…I took the Persian cat lps which is supposed to be her and she took the Siamese cat lps which is supposed to be me! We figured them out by basing the lps on our birthdays!…this exact one was Mira’s but I got an ugly mouse and it made me really sad but the next date was the Siamese cat lol

I don’t talk about TWST as much as I used to but I still adore it a lot! And I went INSANE over the Vil overblot card!!!! It’s legit one of the most beautiful things I’ve even seen. I still can’t believe this is real. It’s breathtaking. I have also been streaming the fuck out of Vil’s character song!!! Vil is legit my fav from TWST and possibly the only character I would ever yume for. I don’t play TWST anymore cause gacha games and games with daily logins drain me but I am still Vil’s biggest fan for real!!!

As usual I spent Saturday with my darling wife! We started our day with poke as usual. Mine is on the left and hers is on the right. I order more simply than her butttttt I think that’s okie. We tried to watch The Truman Show but Pluto Tv (cause yes that’s the only fucking place it’s available…) just refused to play it…it was so frustrating. But I had the most incredible day with her!!! It was amazing! I miss her so much already!!!

And finally…what we had for dinner! I always make sure to cook us dinner whenever she comes over! This time I made a miso soy honey glazed garlic chicken with rice and a spinach salad! Honestly the salad came out botched and kinda inedible but the chicken and rice? Incredible. I season my rice with a tiny bit of sugar, salt, and rice vinegar. I plan to get mirin soon so I can add a bit of that as well! And the chicken, it was so tender and delicate yet it held so much flavor. I’m genuinely really proud of this…I really love cooking for my wife. It makes me so happy when she enjoys my food! I can’t wait to cook something new for her!!!

Now it’s music time. I mentioned Vil’s character song so it would only be far to link it! I have no words for this song. It’s so elegant and dramatic yet sad! It’s truly perfect for Vil! I think I may also be a bit biased cause it is Vil’s song but I still think it’s awesome!!!

I feel a bit embarrassed to put this next song. Not cause it’s a bad song, not in the slightest. It’s a fantastic song, it’s really great. The whole album is! But the reason I listen to it so much is cause I like to imagine my oc Faraji to it…to lore dump but not give spoilers, Faraji looks identical to his ancestor, Virdal. Because of this, he’s been forced to take on numerous burdens he otherwise wouldn’t have been! He doesn’t allow himself to grow facial hair cause he worries it’ll make him look more like Virdal. Faraji and Virdal are both from my gfs story!!!

Last but not least, I found myself listening to this song on loop while worrying about my cyst. It’s short but really soothing…

Me with Rei Izumi

[diced-sugar]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭❤️!!!! I AM SO HONORED… I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THESE DESIGNS!!! And thank you so so much about the hair… I am so honored it’s one of my fav parts to draw!

More new character designs from my story! :D This time, we have Eira (left) and Fang (right)! They are two of Hain's friends (more like her only friends aside from Rocay and Shiya + Eira's sister who she's friends with by proxy 😭) and side characters in the story at the moment. They are also each other's best friends, even though they have very different backgrounds and lives.

Oh my goodness I can't overstate just how much I love their designs 😭 to be honest, for the first chapter of GT I originally created them on a whim. I needed some side characters and these were the two that came to mind, so I just stuck them in and then ran with it. But they've evolved into so much more than when I originally made them and I love them so very much 😭 I'm planning for them to become a part of the main cast eventually too! Along with Eira's sister, who I still need to draw. I'm figuring her out slowly too, but she's only made 1 appearance so far in the story with more involvement in the next arc, so hopefully I'll get more ideas then!

Fang has so... many... tattoos... I don't know if I'll draw her for a while again, but wow! 😭 Now I should never complain when I'm drawing Fen and don't feel like doing her tattoos. But Fang's tattoos were so worth it. They make her look so fucking cool...

AND ALSO!! About Eira's design, she has two little lip rings that are supposed to look like fangs! :D eek drawing all of her little accessories was so much fun too... I especially loved the cute butterfly clips! She is so cute I adore her 😭

They are also both trans women! :D I think that Eira especially would love and squeal over Fen if they met. She would definitely want to adopt her.

p.s. the color of the card suit tattoos on her foot is a twst reference!

[diced-sugar]

BABY OH MY GODDDDD 😭😭😭 YOU REALLY MADE ME CRY LIKE TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE... I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU YOU ARE JUST THE SWEETEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD 😭😭

When I was growing up, for a long time I didn't even know that two women could be together. I was first exposed to the idea when one of my friends in elementary school saw two women kissing on TV and then later told me about it and how she asked if it was possible for two women to be together (she asked her mom, and the answer was "no"). Later, when I was in 5th grade, a girl transferred to our class from another school who went around saying that she had crushes on everyone. At first, it was just the male students, but later she said that she had crushes on the female students too, including me. This was the very first time that I had ever been introduced to the idea of other girls liking me in particular. I was curious about it and asked the people around me and my teacher, but it was quickly shut down.

Even still, I didn't take this to heart. I have always given people the benefit of the doubt and I always brushed off how they shut that down back then. Later, when I was in high school, I wondered if I actually did like women. But I never thought that it was "enough". I started saying that I was bisexual. I thought that I was into men just because I admired certain guys in the past and other guys had had crushes on me before (that never went anywhere and maybe, or maybe not was a joke, I honestly still have no idea).

Then I met you. I was always a very guarded person. I didn't like other people and I thought that there was no one that I could really trust. I kept everyone at arms' length and my internal world was the only one where I would be free from ridicule. Because you were openly a lesbian, I felt comfortable for the first time that I could share my sexuality with others too. I never came out to my group of high school friends because I knew that they would scorn me. I was a gay woman, not a gay man, which was not allowed. But you made me feel like I could finally open up.

But not just in terms of sexuality, in other ways too. When I started talking to you, something just clicked. I felt like we were meant to be friends. You were always so easy to talk to and you made me feel at home. And when I got upset over something you did, you didn't try to run away from our problems or just brush it off, or even make me feel guilty for being upset instead like everyone else had. Slowly but surely, I really began to trust you. Even when other people tried to wedge us apart, I always wanted to be with you. You were always so kind and sweet and smart, and I knew that you were just like me. I really admired you and everything you do from your writing and poetry to your academics to even just how you can talk about anything and everything for hours, and how many movies and shows you've watched (I know that we tease each other about this a lot but it really does impress me 😭).

I eventually thought that you were interested in me, but I thought that if I came out and said it, then it would drive us apart. And I couldn't know for sure anyway, so for a long time I watched and waited, but I did things intentionally to try and impress you or make you more endeared to me. I'm just glad that I was upfront and said that if someone was interested me and didn't tell me, that I'd never know, because otherwise, that game might have gone on for a lot longer 😭...

But I was always enchanted by you. I was surprised that you didn't get tired of talking to me and I was always over the moon even just to call you. When you confessed your feelings to me, I was the happiest person in the world. Sometimes I remember that you're my girlfriend and it makes me pause because I'm so happy about it. I used to think that my love wasn't enough or that maybe I couldn't feel it at all, and I just wasn't meant for it. But now that you're in my life, I've never been happier and I'm not afraid to love freely anymore... even though you'll always be the person I love the very most! :D

I can't wait to celebrate four whole years with you my lovely wife. Thank you for being mine, my muse, my girl, my everything. Without you, my life and this world would be a terribly dark place, but as usual, you make things so much brighter just by existing. I won't ever leave your side either, and I'll always be here to take care of you and look after you. I love you more than anything else in this world. HAPPY NATIONAL GIRLFRIEND DAY!!! :D

Happy National girl friend day to my darling wife, @diced-sugar . I became friends with Miranda back in 2020, but we knew each other for longer, technically. We attended the same high school, we had a horrible mutual friend that was very homophobic. I thought it would be funny to be very gay in front of said friend one day.

So along with a friend, we joined their game of cards during lunch. I sat next to Miranda, though I didn’t know her name. After playing for a few minutes, my friend and I started “making out” as I climbed into her lap and pretended like I was giving her lap dance. It upset the homophobic girl and the whole group, expect Miranda.

Miranda let out the loudest laugh, she was so amused by it and even though we didn’t talk, I thought about her often. I’d dream of that pretty blonde girl and her joyous laugh. I thought it was silly that I thought of that stranger often, our high school was not only predominantly white but very Christian despite being a public school. We even had two religious clubs.

I always assumed that cute girl was religious and straight, that I’d never get the chance to even speak to her. Or if I did, that she’d think I was a freak for my sexuality. In early 2020, one of my friends said they wanted to make a gc with his closest friends. I was added to it and so was she. I wouldn’t know that it was that girl with the beautiful laugh until nearly three months later, when she shared a photo.

When I realized I loved you, I was so scared to say anything. I didn’t want you to hate me. By that point, you truly became my everything. My best friend, my confidant, my soulmate, my other half. I felt so selfish for these feelings, I never wished to ruin our relationship by saying my feelings.

But the girl who laughed so loud it made my heart stop for a moment loved me back. It feels like it’s been barely a year since we’ve begun dating but it’s been over three now. Three incredible years where I’ve had an amazing and beautiful girl by my side. Three years where my heart has softened and become pliable, only for you.

I’ve never met someone like you before, I truly believe that there is no one who could compared to you. You’re everything. You’re so smart, funny, beautiful, talented. You inspire me, your art makes filled with joy. Your writing inspires me to try new styles and continuously improve my own work. Your intelligence keeps me sharp, I’m always making sure to engage with information academically because of you.

I thought I’d be able to disappear in my early twenties. That I could fade into obscurity. I thought that I’d be able to vanish, eventually there would only be an idea of a girl named Lynn, until that faded to. But then you came in. Now I’m glad that didn’t happen. Because you’d be alone, and I promise I will never, ever leave you alone. I love you so much Miranda. Thank you for being my girlfriend and thank you for being yourself. Your laugh still makes me feel as shy and lovesick as it did the first time I heard it.

IN THE TAGS OMG 😭 YOU ARE SO HUNGRY FOR FANG!! I AM TOO I'M SO SO EXCITED THAT SHE'S IN THE NEXT HAIN CHAPTER THAT I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW

Omg... I didn't even think about that either, about twst being canon to GT... you know what, I'll say yes it is, and Fang would probably like Heartslaybul the most for its aesthetics, but in terms of the dorm that she likes because of its characters, it might be Ignihyde. I think that she would really like Idia because he's such a loser and she would want to harass him 😭 and also for its aesthetics because she loves mechanical things. And I think Eira would be into it too! Fang would definitely be the one to get her into it and then I think that Eira would like Pomefiore the most because they love fashion (like her), but her favorite character would be Riddle because he's just so sad and she would want to adopt him 😭😭

AND YES!! Eira has always had light blonde hair, I don't know if it's natural or not (I don't really like to use the trope of 'black/brown character has light hair'), but whether it is or not, I love it for her. IT IS ALSO TO MATCH WITH HER BESTIE 😭 I'M ALSO GLAD THAT YOU CAN TELL SHE'S A LITTLE FASHIONISTA!! That's what I really wanted to get across... I'm also so happy that you love her color palette 😭 honestly, it was pretty hard to figure out and it was originally going to be black and red, but this one looks much better and way more colorful and cute!

I'm just so happy that you love them so much baby... I really pushed myself for these designs and I feel like it really paid off... EEEKS I CAN'T WAIT TO DRAW AND WRITE MORE ABOUT THEM!

More new character designs from my story! :D This time, we have Eira (left) and Fang (right)!
