#& then i will never colour this scene again

[eclipse-rain]

How does moi imagine the jerejean proposal you ask? well sit down and let me set the scene

Jean waits around a year after same sex marriage was legalised to propose even though Cat and Laila almost proposed to each other on the spot and got married soon after. There's alot to take into consideration with sharing his family name and his contract with the Moriyama's so Jean is against it at first, once again thinking of whats best for them, for their survival, rather than what they want.

They talk about it a few times and he starts warming uo to the idea, that maybe nothing bad will happen, as Jeremy reassures him over again each time. He even asks Kevin and Neil some questions about it (reluctantly but oh the things does for love).

Eventually he decides to propose. They take a trip to Marseilles, one they've been planning for a long time and are finally doing. He proposed here for many reasons. Firstly it's where he was born, where Elodie was born, and he wants to be able to share this beautiful place with Jeremy. Secondly he has bad memories here as well as good and instead of focusing on the bad he can use this as an opportunity to gain a new memory he can look back on when he thinks of the place he was born, a good one this time.

He takes Jeremy to a daffodil field, one that overlooks the sea, like the one from the painting. The one where he remembers a small girl with raven hair standing and looking out to the ocean, where he now sees a man, who reflects the colour of the flowers around him, doing the same.

They set down a small blanket to sit down on and they've been there for a short while. Got comfortable, talked, laughed, smiled, joked, maybe they even had some food. Next thing, Jeremy is looking out at the ocean, arms around his legs, and Jean is looking at Jeremy and this is it. Jean pulls out the ring box from his pocket and Jeremy turns back around to see Jean, on one knee, proposing.

Jeremy doesn't say anything yet, doesn't want to ruin the moment, something he knows Jean must have thought alot about. So he turns to fully face Jean, his hands coming up, in almost a prayer, to rest over his lips just in case. His eyes are already filling with tears, and he's waiting, so patiently. So very patiently but god he thinks his heart is actually going to beat out of his chest.

Jean has come so far that he no longer has to surrender to a master, has to bend to the will of a captain or vice-captain, he can make his own choices now. And he tells Jeremy as much before saying "I choose you. Will you choose me?"

Jeremy just about loses it. Sobbing while saying yes and hugging him and almost forgetting theres a ring he gets to put on to make it official. But eventually when he calms a bit Jean slides it onto his finger, feeling his own rapid heart beat going back to a normal rhythm.

When they go back home and meet up with the Floozies Jeremy says they have a surprise and holds up his and Jean's interlocked hands with the ring on. (Cat and Laila knew about Jean proposing beforehand). The Floozies go batshit, start jumping around them because they know Jean doesn't like to be touched. They're shouting and screaming excitedly, happy chatter ensues and Jeremy is content to indulge them, trying to entertain all of their questions and congratulations.

Jean gets caught off guard by their natural boisterousness and silly antics once again but instead of being uncomfortable like he used to be he's relaxed into it. He glances at Jeremy and catches his smiling eyes in between their friends foolish behaviour and for the first time ever he smiles so very genuinely, without even realising it. Head titled down just a bit, calm and a little reserved with canine teeth showing just slightly. A little disbelieving but content half laugh/half sigh escapes him.

They all just stop and stare at him. They had never thought Jean would be able to smile like that after everything that happened to him. It was so much more than they could have hoped for. Never mind going batshit anymore they're all teary eyed and a few of them are actually crying.

They still end up tackling Jeremy into as many hugs as possible (Cat, Laila and Cody all hug Jean alot less violently) because look how far they've seen them both come from when they first met them and now they have their happy ending.

-

I imagine for wedding rings Jeremy has a gold band and Jean has a silver one and they have either their own or each others initials on them, maybe both. And i think Jeremy's says 'toujour ensemble' (together always) or something sweet like that, curtesy of Jean getting it engraved.

STORY TIME: That One Time I Saw My DR Through a Portal (Eyes Open)

This happened almost 3 years ago and it still can’t make any sense of it, I’ve never heard or saw any similar shifting stories to this.

That day I had barely slept for 2 days, was exhausted, and went to take a nap. Last minute, I decided to try shifting. I played a shifting meditation from YouTube, laid in a starfish position, body super still, and just let my mind drift. I didn’t realize it then, but I was naturally slipping into hypnagogia.

Then suddenly, all the symptoms kicked in like racing heart, bright colours, floating sensation. I tried to ignore them and stay calm but it was hard. I opened my eyes… because it had been about 20-30 minutes and I was so impatient.

And I swear, I saw a circular portal floating in the air (I don’t even know how to describe it) like space itself opened up. Through it, I saw a train cart from my desired reality. THE EXACT SCENE I HAD ENVISIONED WHEN IMAGINING WHERE I WOULD SHIFT! Clear, vivid, like a window just hovering in the room.

ISTG. This wasn’t in my head, my eyes were open. I physically actually saw it.

But I got so shocked and excited that it faded.

I’ve never seen anything like that again. It felt like a dimensional crack like I almost shifted fully. I haven’t heard anyone describe something like this, but I know what I saw.

PLEASESEE let me know if you’ve ever had something similar. I still think about it.

I’m gaslighting myself that i just entered an open-eye hypnagogic hallucination but I swear.

The Karate Kid (1984) dir. John G. Avildsen

[toadettely]

Something silly I thought about the spill & skill au is the idea of Sophist and Vern bonding and asking each other about their crushes. Sophist tells Vern embarrassing stuff about Nick from when they were kids and Vern tells Sophist silly anecdotes from their time working together in the cafe. And of course they use that to tease their respective crushes later on.

-🖋️

Ohh yess Pen that's wonderful! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) This concept will definitely be included into the Story!! I just have to think of fitting stuff, especially with Nick as a kiddo.

Have this very small thing as thanks ^-^

(tw for a slight burn from hot liquid. No big description but just in case! Just red n slightly swollen)

Eat up, Skill & Spill fans!! /hj

Nick picked Vernias up after his work at the King's Roast and walked him to the dance studio Vernias usually jogged to after his shifts.

"By the way, Nick, what happened to Catalina?"

"What?" Nick sipped on his favourite drink as they walked, keeping eye contact while doing so. "Who is that?"

"Oh you know, the stuffed dog plush you'd never leave the house without?"

Nick stopped in his tracks. "How do you even-" Nick groaned, annoyed and out of frustration. "Do I have to watch over Sophist whenever he talks to you?!" Vernias giggled.

"Why? I think it's cute you had your little dog protect you. I especially love the story about Hallowee-" "Vernias, I swear to God: do not finish that sentence." The pink-haired one only giggled some more, while Nick wanted to slam his head into the nearest wall or tree.

"Did Catalina watch little Nick when he was on the toilet~?" "I- VERNIAS."

Some passengers turned their heads towards them. Vernias laughed as he held his stomach.

Later that day in the evening, they hung out in Nick's apartment.

Nick looked through a big carton box that had "Old Stuff" written on its side with a black marker.

The taller man mumbled to himself as he searched the box and Vernias watched him from Nick's bed. He lay comfortably on his stomach between some cushions as he observed Nick, admiring him quietly.

"There she is!" Nick exclaimed, holding up a yellow plush dog that looked like it could tell stories from the war and had more life experience than Vernias.

"Oh my God, I forgot how cute she is! Look at the little Fella!" The older one wiggled the stuffed animal around and Vernias could only smile softly at the sight. Any teasing comment he could say to mock Nick vanished from Vernias' mind as he watched Nick beaming with the stuffed dog in his hands.

"... So that is the legendary Catalina?"

"The one and only!"

----Brent's day off, around lunchtime, at Brent's apartment---

Zelda respawned after Brent took the second stock of her life. Eevee muttered a curse, focused on the screen. Brent moved his leg a little bit, slightly touching Eevee's unconsciously, while trying to win another round of Smash Bros.

"Did it hurt?" Eevee asked softly but sounded almost too nonchalant as he dodged a combo from King K. Rool.

"What?" Brent's shoulders loosened slightly.

"Did it hurt when you burned yourself yesterday? The spilled cappuccino?" It was supposed to sound like a mock, an unexpected tease. The words came out like nothing close to that, at all.

King K. Rool lost his first stock. The question was thrown into the room out of the blue - like Zelda's deadly attack that sent him flying to the left side of the screen.

Vernias liked to talk too much. A chance to embarrass Brent? A chance Vernias loved to have and would always take.

"I'm fine-" "Not what I asked."

Silence. Nothing but the sound of their fingers pressing buttons.

"Goddamn it!" Zelda got knocked out again and Eevee threw his arms into the air while the younger one smirked slightly in triumph.

The screen showed King K. Rool striking his victory pose. Eevee turned to Brent.

"Did you cool it?"

Brent sighed.

"Yes. I'm fin-"

"Can I see?"

Brent sighed again.

Without a word, without trying to deflect or simply refuse Eevee's request, Brent put his controller down next to him on the couch and pulled his sleeve up.

The area where the hot and steaming cappuccino met his skin was visible; red and slightly swollen.

No one said a single word, neither of them made the smallest noise. Eevee took Brent's arm into both of his hands, careful not to touch the slightly burned areas of his skin.

Brent didn't flinch, withdraw his arm or pull away.

Eevee wanted to kiss Brent's arm.

He wanted to help the injury heal faster.

Just like Eevee always desired to make Brent smile instead of having him look so tired.

Not just sleep-deprived-tired. Tired of everything.

Eevee didn't.

The older one only looked at Brent's arm and the slight combustion like it was something interesting to study.

Brent was something interesting to study.

"Have you been too clumsy again or just too sleepy as always?" Eevee teased, but his tone was slightly off.

Brent pulled back gently and covered his arm with his sleeve again.

"Shut up, Eevee."

hi!!! how long does an average panel of one of your comics take??

i love your work so much!! it got me into silmblr hehe

HI NONNIE!!! thank u sooooso much for checking in and for ur lovely ask! it means a lot to hear that my silly ol scribbles were what introduced u to the glorious landscape that is the tolkien fandom! on tumblr no less!! i hope you stay a real long time, and have a blast while you're at it 💖💖

now onto your question! that's some good food for thought uhhhh i can try to estimate?? its been a while but i shld have some rough ideas abt each that i can share! the time frame each comic/panel takes is highly dependent on WHAT kind of comic it is. i hv two kinds of comics I usually do: 1) full-length, and 2) goofy/4koma.

i have a few full-length comics laying about in my archive, but my most recent one/best example is Ghosts which was around uh.... 7 pages excluding the bonus panels! in terms of the process, i usually divide it into 5 stages:

Drafting: this is either the fastest stage OR the slowest depending entirely whether i know what im doing LMAO,, if i have a set idea for what i want to happen, i might get drafts done in a few hours, but if i flounder, it can take a few days 🤔

Lineart: relatively simple enough once i hv the draft down, so id say anything ranging from an hour to half a day if theres nothing else going on irl

Block colouring (main actors): there are DEFINITELY easier and more professional ways to do this with mass-selection and the lasso fill/bucket tool, but idk how to do that on SAI (my art program) so i colour everything by hand HAHA which makes the process longer.... half a day to a day?

Shading: THE WORST!!! definintely my least favourite bc i find it tedious due to all the details/prettification of elves that i am legally obliged to pour into this stage 😭😭 as a result, it can take days!!!

Background + Lighting + Final Rendering: similar to the previous stage haha it just depends on how much effort i wanna put into the final product looking nice. roughly a few days? it kind of meshes with stage 4 anyways haha

just for fun, i hope this process gif for page 6 can illustrate that 👇

these are just rough estimates, bc all in all, the time it takes so finish a page is really dependent on how free I am hahaha. Also, I usually work on full-length comics like Ghost which have more than one page all at once, which means I drafted all 7 pages at once, then did the lineart for all 7 pages at once, coloured at once, shaded rendered bla bla bla 😚 iirc, i think it took me 11 days in total to finish Ghosts before the end of June last year!

For goofy/4-koma, its usually just one page with less detailed/more cartoonish/chibi character styles so it takes a day or two days at most! again, it all boils down to how free i am hehe

YEAH SORRY THIS ENDED UP BEING AN INFO DUMP but thank you so much again for asking and letting me ramble! <3 i ended up having a lot of fun looking back on my drafts n thinking back on my processes.... theres defininitely room for improvement, but thats another worry for another day heheh 😎

So uh, do you guys ever think about how Tenko grew up with a man who had the capacity to take away his Quirk - the thing that ruined his life, took away his family - yet seemingly never once took his? That was probably a way to make him internalize he truly wished for destruction the moment he was born?

And Tenko probably questioned it but never dared ask because he was the one who accepted him, and sure he gives you a sinking feeling in your guts to the point you scratch your neck at the mere idea of talking to him (when was the last time you've had a doctor's consult? Or a simple ointment to relieve the pain? Isn't he friends with a doctor?), but he picked you up from the streets (because you don't deserve gentle touches when you're followed by the dust of death. your name is defined by it how do you know the name of that kid who wanted to be a hero) he gave you a place to stay (because your home was based on silent rejections and lies on the very ground you decayed), he accepted you even though you're only an individual born for destruction (and so is the crafted garden you're rooted on, but you could've thrived in another garden, another life.)

And maybe, you're just ungrateful. Your sensei is the only one who can understand the lonely traces of death that follows you, unnervingly so. Even though he's the one who can take that away from you with a mere touch.

(just like you can. just like you did. why can't you feel joy with that? you were born in from for destruction.)

(you could decay your allies with one single touch. they're irrelevant to your goals. why does your heart stop you from fulfilling that now? you had it in you back then. it never mattered before.)

(you tried to help someone ungrateful, once. he was killed by his your hand. they've helped him. why weren't you offered the same?)

(isn't this why you reject the hand that wants to save you? you could've killed him. and he still held your hands. the denied reality you had since you were a child.)

(do you still want to be a hero, shimura tenko?)

(... why can't you start now?)

But then again, how do you know you deserved better when you were nothing but a puppet- and now, with his goals destroyed, a very useless one?

Just thinking about Shimura Tenko.

Thinking of one of those two fanfics that rewired my brain this last summer once again. Thinking of the sunrises

[a-shadowedvales]

jane’s appearance vastly changes after season one. her face, features and overall mannerisms begin majorly altering from what we see in canon, versus my own interpretation of her.

hair. we love the curls. <3 but when her hair first starts growing in, the sensation is so foreign to her, and it resembles something akin to phantom pain. she hates it. the feeling that something is there when it shouldn’t be. her scalp is incredibly sensitive, and in the beginning, she does not take care of it in the way that she should. after the first three months, hopper has to cut a relatively large chunk out of the left side, because she hasn’t been brushing it, or tending to it, and it becomes a matted, strangled mess. then it becomes uneven, which she hates even more, so she asks him to cut the rest off and she basically starts from square one again. overtime she does properly tend to it, but it’s only about five months after the cut from hopper, does she get used to the feeling, and come to appreciate her curls. jane always has curly hair. when it starts growing out more, it becomes wavy rather than ringlets. never once in her life does she pick up a hair straightener. not to even test it out. her hair becomes so important to her, that the thought of something happening to it (ie a hot device burning it all off) really worries her.

scarring. it’s already pretty established on this blog that closing the gate affected jane physically and mentally more than the series portrayed. (meta found here!) those veins that appear on her face whilst closing the gate, also form patterns across her entire body; hands, feet, legs, stomach. although they all do fade overtime, the markings on her left hand, and around her neck never disappear. while she hates them, hates that the upside down has physically scarred her, she never attempts to cover them up.

teeth. between seasons three and four, jane gets braces. like her hair, it takes a long time for her to properly tend to her teeth, brush them regularly and understand they need constant upkeep. in the lab, these things were all done for her, and she became very accustomed to not having to do it herself. her overall hygiene is relatively bad during her time in the cabin. i love millie’s vampire teeth, and keep them canon, but i also imagine her bottom centre teeth to be rather crooked. after her first trip to the dentist, she needs to have three teeth extracted due to them rotting. they’re all in the back though, so the gaps are not very noticeable.

posture. her back is always ridiculously straight, having near perfect posture, especially for a child her age. stemming from the fact that she was given no opportunity to slouch or fully relax while in the lab.

skin. jane is extremely pale. she has a vitamin d deficiency due to her lack of exposure to sunlight, and if she’s in the sun too long without proper protection, she burns incredibly fast. jane also hates make-up. she hates the way it makes her face feel. sometimes she will wear lip gloss; on very special occasions she may wear mascara, but that's the extent of it. the most make-up she ever wore in her life was when she was part of kali's gang. skincare falls under the same category of her hair and teeth: it was done for her in the lab, so she's not used to doing it herself. things like shaving, moisturising and plucking her eyebrows etc do not become of interest to her until her early twenties.

strength / muscle. jane has poor motor function and development as a result of growing up so sheltered to physical activity. her muscle development is very minimal and she has little coordination between her mind and physical movement. ie, hand-ball requires use of both mind and action: when to bounce the ball and an intended destination. she struggles with hand - eye coordination, and it would take her much longer to succeed in any sort of activity such as this given the lack of experience. in terms of fitness, she would be very behind in her age range, and would not be able to run very far before getting tired. she is only successful in this sort of area when she’s running on adrenaline.

eyes. jane experiences temporary blindness when she returns from the void. this gets better overtime as she comes into the strength of her powers and no longer needs the bath / blindfold / picture of somebody to find them, but sometimes it does still happen. when this does occur, her eyes turn a bright white, losing their pigmentation. her sight always returns within a half hour, but sometimes that sheer white lingers for days. she can see, but her actual hues can take a while to fade back in.

hands. the middle and thumb nail on her right hand became completely rotten from frostbite during her month living in the snow, and they no longer grow. her hand was immobile for a good few weeks, but it did end up healing for the most part, aside from the two nails. and those fingers do cramp up sometimes. she likes to wear nail polish frequently to hide the black rot, but the skin and cuticle always has a blue/black tinge.

jewellery. jane actually wears a decent amount of jewellery! she loves wearing fancy clips and bows in her hair, alongside colourful scrunchies. she always wears a simple silver chain around her neck, with an opal pendant which belonged to terry, gifted to her by andrew. she never takes it off except for when she’s sleeping (as one night she woke up with it all tangled tightly around her neck). she loves wearing multiple bracelets and rings at one time, and has a fancy jewellery box that she thrifted from downtown hawkins which stores her growing collection of accessories. jane does have her ears pierced! it was one of the first things she did when starcourt mall opened— nancy took her to get them done. it’s very rare you’ll find jane without at least three rings on, and a pair of fancy earrings in her ears. even if the situation doesn’t call for fancy jewellery, you can bet she’ll show up in it.
