I've been arting

[ID: Three monochromatic drawings in a cartoon leaning semi-realistic style. All of them have the artist's signature, which is a dash followed by the letters Sw.

The first one is of OASys; she is standing slightly leaning forward with her hands behind her back. She has an annoyed expression. The lineart is colored in blue, and the background has a faint gradient that is blue in the top and bottom and white in the middle.

The second one is of Sel; he is staring at the floor with a terrified expression. It is crying from its left eye, and a black liquid is coming out of their right eye socket, which is covered by an eyepatch with an X symbol on it. The lineart is colored in a cool grey.

The third one is of Shady; they are giggling with a hand behind their back and the other one close to their face, with a finger against his cheek. The lineart is colored blue, and the background is a faint swirl of green, red, yellow, and blue. /End ID]

I promised myself that I wouldn't edit these too much and I think they're the ones I edited the most in my entire life. I completely redrew Shady's hand. Why am I like this. Ah, speaking of Shady, I tried really hard to make his design work with human proportions. I did give them a mouth but y'know

I have more drawings but these already took me all day to edit so I'm posting them now

The fact that the few close friends select has consist of:

- Nefarious, an Evil Wizard who is also his partner

- Slime, their adopted son

- Prof, because he likes mad science

- A cat

- A bunch of ominous faces

- An evil deity who is also their only parental figure

- And, a former world eater

Is just immensely funny to me

if you're aware of the Vulture article on Neil Gaiman, there's not much i can add; if you aren't and you go looking, my only advice is that if you hit a point where you're wondering if you should bail, do so, because the details of his behavior only get more vile as it goes along.

however, one thing i WILL say is to be on the lookout for smear campaigns against the sources and/or the journalist, Lila Shapiro, in the coming weeks and months. i cannot stress enough how brave this article is. if there's one thing more hazardous to your reputation than blowing up a rich and influential serial predator in the entertainment industry, it's making the church of scientology look bad, and she's managed to do both in one stroke. remember Lila Shapiro's name, and be extremely skeptical if it suddenly turns up later this year as the target of some slimy allegation.

(reblogs are enabled again for the time being; please try to behave yourselves. this post is a heads-up, not an open mic night for your tangential hot takes or your personal feelings about gaiman's work. furthermore, tumblr's resident TERF circle-jerk is disrespectfully invited to piss off and take a long walk off a short fucking dock.)

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and it’s taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, he’s sharp, he’s funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.

But Walz offers something that the other men in contention don’t that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.

He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but that’s not who we’re talking to. We’re talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didn’t line up with who a Democrat was, or didn’t feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.

He served in the military. He went to a state college. He’s your favorite teacher from your public high school. He’s your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. He’s the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.

He’s the neighbor who helps you jump your car. He’s your uncle who takes you hunting. He’s your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. He’s you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. He’s you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. He’s you when he says ‘it had to be me’ and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.

He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That it’s normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and you’re not a weirdo, are you?

That there’s a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they don’t have to default to being fucking weird.

I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and go… yeah, that’s me. That’s who I’m gonna be.

The fabled, infamous buckled collar shirt… Opens. He’s usually always wearing his cowl and vest so you can’t usually tell. He does love wearing shirts with open/low collars, which you can esp tell by the Daydream Hour outfits Kui designed for him, so makes sense. And yet… The buckle collar…

If u don’t think this is the same shirt btw he actually does up his collar when meeting the canaries. Just 1 scene difference before after, below. He likes to open up his collars when the setting is more casual but business or action happens and it’s back to being all proper and laced up

Btw idk if it’s a mistake but that screentone on Chilchuck’s chest in the second picture of the post… Is Kui telling us he has body hair. Idk is he dirty does he need a shower?? Kui doesn’t draw Senshi with much body hair in the manga for practicality reasons but she did draw in a Daydream Hour once how much she actually thinks he has, so it wouldn’t be crazy if this was the case for Chil too, and then in a final chapter in a close shot panel where she even details the seams of the shirt she can go all out more. Kui talks about peach fuzz and whatnot for elves so maybe they’re just finer or paler in his case. Please please please— Sigh ok it’s a screentone mistake

Anyways while I’m here, low collar comp. Third one is that shirt he wears sometimes where you have to tie up the strings like in bottom row middle outfit of the first one…

FELLOW !CU/PUNCTUATIONVERSE FAN OR WHATVEER ITS CALLED

OPINION ON EVERY MAIN CHARACTER

[Pt: Fellow !cu/punctuationverse fan or whatveer its called

opinion on every main character]

Idk which characters count as main and which don't, and there's a lot of them, so I'll list the ones I remember off the top of my head, hope that's ok!

Nef: entertaining and also has lore so that's cool. Simultaneously wholesome and fucking terrifying. Also he was revealed to be a cannibal while this post was in my drafts and honestly I think I like them more now. Shoutout for jumpstarting the lore

Unskilled: at first they seemed somewhat anticlimactic but I grew fond of their attitude now that we know, uh, everything else that was revealed about them. It makes a lot more sense now for sure. I really wanna see where their story goes and they also make me sad what do you mean they were suicidal at the age of 6

Prof: stuff is going on.... they're interesting. Very interesting. Studying them

Terro: GAME-BREAKING BUG?? GAME-BREAKING BUG!?!? [game-breaking bug?? Game-breaking bug!?!?]. Yknow if I had written this part a day before I did it would have been something like 'silly moth child' but now there's Things.

Select: I want to protect them. I have thoughts about him but I can't put them into words, know that I do care about its lore. Bonus points for having a plush, they're great

Mini: they deserved better but everyone here does tbh. How did it get into the game. Why's the game slowly destroying them. Is is even meant to exist?

Vance: love to have an in-universe conspiracy theorist. I get a feeling that they might become a little obsessed [little obsessed] with their theories in the future

Cmd: is he a main character if most of what he did was glitch through walls. But like in a plot significant way. He does Know Things, however, so he'll definitely be very very important in the future (I might be forgetting some important things he did besides getting Prof and Mini into the void. I'm not writing things down and I have memory issues ok?)

Weather: what are you made of.

Honorable mention: Sys has ADHD swag. I really wanted to say that lol
