I GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK!!!
Great news, I finally got my og account @sleepy-roo back! I was starting to lose hope tbh, I didn't think they'd ever respond or even get my account back.
If y'all wanna see my recent art on there, head on over and check it out. Give a follow if ya want as well.
I'll have to tidy up that acc. now, everything feels too cluttered. That page was originally supposed to contain art and art only, so imma keep it that way. There still might be some things on there I'll keep cuz I don't mind 'em. I actually like having separate accounts for specific things. Helps me be more organized. That being said, as for this blog and my other blogs:
@tired-roo will still be here, of course, since it is/was a backup anyway
reblogs will be on/still remain on @grumpy-roo
and @splashy-roo is getting deleted (i think tumblr is buggin' out cuz i've deleted @splashy-roo 3 times and it's still showing up. so i guess this acc. is staying up, but there's nothing being uploaded there still. so follow it or don't, idrc.)
#important update#pinned info#pinned post#important info#jfc i'm happy none of my shit permanently got lost out in the void#now i can finally relax#reuploading stuff was honestly getting tiring#still gotta get my drawing motivation back tho

Sharp sometimes gets so frustrated that he starts wanting to hit things, and Tommy figures that drums might be a good option for that
Of course she'll have to teach him not to hold the drumstick like he's about to stab someone with it first
I'm sorry he's like this 😔
Tommy belongs to @clawcakes
You can vote for either of them in @sonic-oc-showdown right here!
#My arts#Sonic OC#Sonic stuffs#FCs#Sharp#clawcakes#OC Tournament#sonic-oc-showdown#Finally got the motivation to draw and work on the OC showdown pic!#I wanted to get the one for the current round done since Sharp probably wont make it past it#Hopefully I'll get to work on the round one one I wanted to get done tomorrow!

I SWEAR I KEEP TRYING TO DO ART BUT THEN SOMETHING GETS IN THE WAY AND THEN I PROCRASTINATE AND THEN SIX MONTHS PASS

#this has been happening for like TWO YEARS BUT I SWEAR TO GOD I AM TRYING.#my usual art motivation (my webcomic idea) has been put on hold for a bit and because of that i forgort... everything#my will to draw specifically#but in my defense i have been writing k*arlach / oc indulgences and i've been VERY focused on finishing it#i also got a marketing manager (my friend <3) to help with advertising my comms and stuff so uh... look forward 2 that#i might need to start posting all of my art on a sideblog so she doesn't have to log into my main though#so there might be some changes#but i promise i want to do art!!!! but there's always something to do first and then months pass :(#or i get the urge to draw and then life is like ''have a cancer scare'' lmao...#(ended up being cancerous actually </3 but because it's skin stuff it was easy to remove)#(but that really took the piss out of me for most of july... not to mention that ffxiv released a new expansion and i have been...#having a good time with my new friends doing content and stuff!) i also made a friend irl after like 3-4 years of total isolation#we feed ants and watch them move around together and comment on their behaviour patterns...#but like when i say this takes literal hours.#we just sit out there and talk about random shit and watch ants walk across the floor. both of us hate ants btw.#like we don't like having them ON us so it's a bit like playing with fire.#but anyways yeah i've also been really low energy recently too bc of the heat and burnout from college...#but the good news is that i'm transferring in fall to a much more relaxing college & courseload!#i'm hoping it'll stop me from feeling so... awful ?? i guess ??#like i was taking classes i didn't need to that were really difficult & punishing#not to mention extremely boring & hard to pay attention to when dealing with literally anything. i did not want to be there.#my next college is much more interest-oriented so i will finally be able to take classes i want to and learn from them...!#and then maybe i will feel a bit more in control of my life / more encouraged to draw#anyways thank u for reading my ramble. hoping it all comes together soon.#i need to do a lot of work but most of it is so i can sell commissions again#but once the karlach fic is done we're so back on the webcomic train !!!!!!!!

Y'all guess what
Finally working on an online shop!
So far, I'm going to only sell printed stuff through Threadless, but I do plan on opening another shop someday where I'll sell actual physical items myself!
#my stuff#rambling#I got a bank account yesterday FINALLY#But it turns out Threadless uses Paypal lol#So I technically could have started it a while ago#But oh well! Better safe than sorry#most of the stuff that'll be on the shop at first is just some photoshop pieces I made#But I'll put some drawings in there eventually!#I haven't published the shop yet since I want a decent selection before I do so#When I do open another shop on a different site I'll be selling stuff like jewelry and pins!#Maybe some paintings and possibly stained glass work as well#All depends on my motivation and how things play out!#FINALLY I'm very excited for this :D

everything we hold most dear…
***
FINALLY DONE WITH THIS! I got a friend into atyd and it motivated me so hard to start drawing again, specifically the marauders, so expect some cool stuff soon!
I quit drawing this like a year ago because I couldn’t ever decide on what I liked and didn’t like, and then I realized it literally doesn’t matter🫶🫶 don’t draw for perfection! Draw because you love to draw!!
As for the queen x marauders drawing, be sure to keep an eye out for it, all I have to do now is color!
Hope u guys like this <3

A dare to kiss - Tyler Owens (smut)
I'll keep on riding the Tyler train till my ideas run out. Please like and reblog if you enjoyed reading this, your comments keep us writers motivated! Enjoy my loves. xxx
Summary: Tyler and the reader have been best friends for years. But after another storm season, she finally snaps and realises she can't be around him any longer, not when her feelings for him won't let go of her. But perhaps the feelings aren't unrequited as she fears.
Warnings: 18+, smut, oral (f), friends to lovers, idiots in love, some angst, but a very happy ending
Pairing: Tyler Owens x fem!reader (2.4k words)
“How old are you? Stop it, Boone!” (Y/n)’s voice dripped with annoyance, eyes flickering from her friends and colleagues down to her drink. It had been their last day of chasing, saying goodbye to another season that had been filled with exciting but also horrible moments they all haven’t quite processed just yet.
“Oh, c’mon, it’s just a kiss!” Boone excitedly clapped his hands while he let his gaze wander from (y/n) to Tyler, who was looking at her with an unreadable expression. They no longer knew who had started their annual game of truth and dare, passing a few hours where they got to spill secrets, fears, and do harmless dares to end the night with stomachs that hurt from laughing too much.
At least it had always been like that until this very dare, something that clearly went too far for her aching heart. Her feelings for Tyler were no secret, they all knew of the feelings she harboured for her best friend – all but Tyler, who obliviously chased other women while (y/n) was forced to suffer around him.
“Give her another dare, Boone.” Tyler’s voice drew all eyes towards him, ripping their hope of finally being able to push the two of them together into shreds. They were too focused on Tyler to pick up on the hurt crossing her features. It was her own fault, she should have just kissed him, should have crossed the distance between them while the chance had been right there for her to grasp. A chance that had passed the second Tyler had spoken up.
“You know what, I’m tired anyway, I’ll head back to the motel.” She rose to her trembling feet, hands buried in the pockets of her jacket to hide the fists she had balled them into from their confused eyes. She didn’t wait for them to speak up, turned from them with an aching heart and allowed the darkness to swallow her while almost jogging back to her room.
Even though (y/n) hated parting from the group, not wanting to leave them that early on their last evening together, she needed to be alone with her thoughts for a while. Staying this close to Tyler for the past weeks had been more exhausting than she had thought it would be, unable to endure his closeness any longer. She should look forward to returning home, to quiet hours where she won’t have to worry about hiding the feelings she hadn’t been able to let go of for the past years.
The door to her room fell shut behind her, letting the silence wrap itself around (y/n) while she wiped away the tears that had started to fall. Curses rumbled through her, she felt as if she was drowning, unable to breathe while the room closed in on her. Her body started moving without listening to her mind's command. She threw all her stuff into her bag, hastily reaching for her things as her vision grew more blurry.
She needed to get away, needed to make it home, she couldn’t stand being around him for another minute. She left the room with her heart in her throat, forced to a sudden halt before she could collide with Dexter. His hands shot out to catch her should she fall, drawing her tear stained features up towards him.
“Oh, (y/n). What’s going on?” She let her head fall against his chest, searching the closeness of the man who had always treated her like his daughter, the first one she had told her feelings for Tyler to. A sob wrecked through her, forcing him to tighten his hold on her to keep (y/n) close.
“I need to leave, I can’t do this any longer, Dexter. Here, this is my room key.” She pushed the key into his hand, trusting him to take care of checking her out in the morning. His hand ran up and down her spine in a comforting manner, set on soothing the pain she felt all too clearly. Another sob left (y/n) before she stepped out of the embrace. “Tell the others I’m sorry and that I’ll reach out soon.”
(Y/n) squeezed his hand one last time, trying to put on a soft smile for the man who stared down at her with pity swimming in his pupils. She felt his eyes on her as she jogged towards her truck, set on driving through the night to make it home before the sun would paint the horizon in bleeding colours.
……
“Hey, it’s me again. It’s been a while, and I really need to see you, (y/n). We need to talk, call me back, please.”
She woke to new voice messages every single day since leaving a few weeks ago. At first Tyler had voiced out his disappointment and confusion, not understanding why she had left him just like that. And then the sadness had entered the picture, begging (y/n) to call him back because he missed her and was sorry for whatever he had done to her. And now his voice no longer carry any emotions, monotonous and unfamiliar without any nicknames he’d normally use.
(Y/n) knew it was time for her to finally reach out to him, to bury her own sadness and her embarrassment and to call her best friend, if she could still call him that. Her hands shook as she clicked onto his contact, listening to it ring five times before he answered with a whisper of her name.
“Hi,” no further word managed to leave her. She listened to him exhale, shuffle around before speaking up.
“Are you at home today? I’d come round to see you.” A part of her screamed at her to say no, knowing that she shouldn't meet him at home, the one place where she had managed to focus on her feelings, giving her space to think about them properly. But the stronger part knew it would be less awkward to see him here than somewhere else where they could easily run into fans.
“I am.” His hum shot shudders down her spine, forcing her to fist the blanket she had tossed over her cold legs.
“I’ll be over around three, see you then.” He ended the call before another word could leave her. Her stomach was churning, not used to his cold voice and how he spoke to her as if she was a business contact or a stranger almost.
(Y/n) let her phone drop into her lap while she sank further into her couch. What would she even tell Tyler? She wasn’t ready for his rejection, wasn’t ready to mess up what was still remaining of their friendship. Even though she couldn’t stand being close to him for longer than a few hours, (y/n) also knew that life without Tyler by her side wasn’t worth living.
……
“There you go.” She pushed the coffee towards Tyler who was leaning against the kitchen island, right across from her. His eyes followed her every move, ever since a rather awkward hug and exchanged pleasantries that felt as if they didn’t know one another at all. He shot her a grateful smile before taking a sip, not letting his gaze leave her nervous features once. “How are you?”
“Cut the bullshit, (y/n). Wanna tell me why my best friend ran from me and then decided to ghost me for the past weeks?” Her heart sank, letting her guilt settle deep inside her stomach. Her eyes found interest in studying her trembling hands, not daring to get lost in Tyler’s angry expression.
“I’m sorry, I was just so exhausted with it all. I needed some time away.” A humourless laugh clawed through Tyler, a sound that finally forced her eyes back towards him.
“You’ve never been good at lying. What is this really about, huh? Why did the others all seem to understand what’s going on, but you couldn’t tell me?” His voice carried his hurt, dripping with sadness and anger she also felt flushing through her system.
“It's nothing you need to worry-“ the sound of his palm coming down on her kitchen island interrupted her, forcing her pupils to widen as he shook his head at her. It felt as if she was looking at a stranger, not once had she seen Tyler this hurt and angry, never directed at her at least.
“Just be honest, (y/n)! I’m supposed to be your best friend, or is this what this all is about? Do you no longer want to be-“ now it was on her to interrupt him.
“It’s because I’m in love with you, you idiot!” And then they were engulfed by nothing but silence. The seconds faded by, turning into almost a full minute of Tyler just staring at her with an unreadable expression. It seemed as if he was combing through his every moment with her, reliving all the past years to figure out how he could have missed this. His silence forced her lips to part again, knowing that she needed to say some more.
“I tried to let go of it, I really did. But being around you made it impossible for me. I am sorry, I just needed some time alone. And then that dare, I wanted to kiss you so badly, but it would have been my end, and I couldn’t risk losing that last shred of sanity I had in me.” Her whispers lured Tyler closer, letting her watch him round the kitchen island to come to a halt in front of her.
“Look at me, darling.” Her heart skipped a beat at the use of the nickname, taking some fear from her trembling body. Slowly she raised her gaze, looking up at him with glassy eyes as he cupped her cheeks with his big hands. “I’m sorry it took me this long to see it, but I was quite occupied with hiding my own feelings from you.”
Tyler’s words left her frozen, staring at him with confusion laced in her gaze. Her mind was racing, letting his words sink in to understand what he had just told her. A soft chuckle rumbled through him, “Will you let me kiss you? No dare this time.”
She shifted her weight onto her toes, letting her lips collide with his. Tyler instantly replied to the touch, kissing (y/n) breathless while his hands moved down her sides. She deepened the kiss with a soft moan clawing through her, allowing his tongue to meet hers. Both their hearts were racing, pounding in their chests as if they had just returned from another chase, losing themselves in the adrenaline that still buzzed through them.
Tyler parted from her for a moment, hands wandering down her thighs to pick her up and place her down on the kitchen island. For the first time since she had started being with partners, she truly felt weightless, trusting Tyler fully with whatever he had in mind. Slowly, he connected their lips again, kissing her to stop her racing thoughts from overthinking what was about to happen.
“Do you want this? Do you want to be touched by me?” His voice was raspy, deeper than it had been before - details that made her walls flutter in excitement.
“Please, touch me, Tyler.” The hum he let go of was drowned out by her gasp as he pushed her back down on the kitchen island, feeling his wandering hands find their way to her pair of shorts. He pulled the fabric down her legs, panties following moments later to expose her lower body to his piercing eyes.
“What a beautiful sight, it was worth waiting for all these years.” Heat rose up her neck, spurred on by his praises. Carefully he touched her, letting his fingers brush through her slit, spreading her arousal on her skin. Goosebumps littered her body as if she was trapped in a cold room, unable to stop shaking. And yet her body was burning up, set ablaze by his touch.
“I need to taste you, can I, baby?” Nothing but a moaned “yes” left (y/n). His tongue felt rough against her pulsing bundle, letting the sensation zap through her aching body like lighting. She tried to find something to hold on to, and yet her fingers could only wander to his head to tug on his almost golden roots.
“Jesus fuck, why haven’t we done this sooner?” (Y/n)’s words left Tyler chuckling against her heat. The sound vibrated on her skin, pushing her even closer towards the edge.
“Seems like I ain’t doing my job well enough if you can still speak.” He was urging himself to move his tongue quicker while pushing two fingers into her heat. Her walls clenched around his fingers, drawing him even closer in while her orgasm crept closer and closer. A moan clawed through (y/n), letting it reverberate through the air as Tyler sucked on her pulsing bundle.
“Atta girl, I got you, pretty.” He comforted her, cozied her along to finally push her over the edge. His name left her parted lips like a prayer, unable to think of any other thing to say as she felt the blinding sensation wander up her limbs. (Y/n) came without a warning, back arched off the cold kitchen island top.
Tyler kept lapping at her folds to guide her through her high before he pressed one last kiss to her inner thigh. He moved up her body, hands stroking their way up her sides until he cupped her warm cheeks to pull her in for a kiss.
“I love you, darling, and I promise to make up for all the time we’ve lost.”

Finally~
I wanted to make a little something to say "Thank you for reading" to cap off WYS! Excuse me while I get mushy for a second-
Y’all are the reason this was able to get done. Your enthusiasm for updates and how the story unfolded really means so much to me. It was the little things that kept me motivated, even during the long hiatus. Seeing you guys pick up and point out little details sprinkled throughout the comic always made my day and gave me a sense of validation. Reactions to things like the surprise of Sans’ nightmare or Grillby’s comfort all made me super happy. And you guys gave the finale pages the sweetest reception I could ask for. l'm so grateful that you stuck around for the whole thing!
Overall, I’m very pleased with how this turned out! Interestingly, the main thing I’d want to change if given the chance is how I wrote Sans and Grillby themselves. Especially Sans’ dialogue. My characterization of them has changed quite a bit over the years (hard to tell bc I don’t draw them a lot atm). But that can’t really be helped. Just like the way that my art style changed over time. Hindsight does that stuff all the time. Nitpicking aside, I stand by the creative decisions made by 2019 Me
The funny part is that the original comic was 17 pages and I got them all done before hand so I wouldn't run into the issue of falling into a hiatus between pages!!! If y'all are interested in a bts post, I’ll try to dig up those og pages from my old computer. And maybe I'll show the even rougher epilogue draft I threw together for shits and giggles to see if I could get the page count to 69
Sansby has already been super special to me for a long time, finally getting this done and seeing the response strengthened that. I’ve had so many people find me through WYS over the years, it blows my mind. The messages from people who hold it dear really means the world! Without you guys this comic wouldn’t be what it is now. Thanks for Staying~

Hi! A little life update.
At the end of October I wrote that I was deep in a depression spiral and due to unexpected occurrences I had been left with basically no income for several months. I had emptied my savings at that point and was feeling extremely stressed, sick and hopeless.
I just want to thank everyone who reached out and offered support or even looked up my ko-fi info and sent me a donation. It was an unfathomably kind thing to do and helped me tremendously. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I was at the end of my tether, I had 1,70€ in my bank account at that moment. I was sleeping four hours per night on average because my insomnia was so out of control, and had more or less stopped eating, after surviving on nothing but porridge, bread, apples and buttered pasta for close to a month. Things were kind of dire. No one has ever showed me that kind of unprompted generosity before, irl or online. Thinking that people I've never even met were willing to support me like that both warms my heart and makes me feel kind of guilty and undeserving. I'm not used to being treated like that. I hope I didn't make you feel pressured to get involved. It did genuinely help me put myself back together though. The next day I went and bought some essential groceries and getting to eat properly was a massive boost in terms of energy and mood. I'm doing a little better now. I finally managed to get the financial situation corrected, but it'll take months before my finances recover and I'll be able to go shopping without feeling paranoid about counting every cent and hating myself if I buy a small treat. I mentioned that my seven years old, well-served laptop is on it's last legs, so the remaining funds are going towards putting together a new PC, hopefully soon. I don't really have any product or extra content to offer you as a thank you for the ko-fi donations I received, but I hope it's at least nice to think that they're directly enabling me to continue making more art in the future.
I'm still struggling with intense anxiety every day, and it has caused me to develope some kind of impostor syndrome that is impacting my online presence negatively at the moment. I look at the things I try to draw and the asks I get, and feel like nothing I create, say or write is good enough or worth people's time and attention. I'm having hard time opening up like I used to, and I miss the interactions I used to have here, they were an immense source of inspiration and motivation to me. But I'm trying to work on that, and hoping that posting stuff will start to feel more natural again eventually. This got a little long, but thanks for reading! I hope life treats you well.

Rafayel with artist!reader
Info : 1k+ word count, fluff, slight mentions of Rafayels lore.
Notes : We all heard of "matching his freak" but what about "matching his artistic spirit"?? Aka this is for all my girlies interested in art, I did this because I know he would help me survive my design class 😔
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who would show you his work enthusiastically and explain everything about it to you after you said you “don't know much about art”. You loved listening to his explanations, even after he shared the most basic stuff with you and from that alone, you swore your art got better.
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who started to suspect that you might be more talented than you told him after he took you to a pottery studio for a date and you ended up painting such a cute doodle of artsy birb on one of the cups, yet you just laughed him off and said doodles aren't that hard to do.
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who one day, finally spotted some of your drawings in your apartment when he was visiting. You didn't hide your work well enough and he spotted one of the projects you did for school on your desk, so now you had to explain yourself.
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who listened in slight disbelief as you nervously explained to him that you didn't want him to think that you were just with him because he's an artist, a famous artist, at that. You truly loved him and his art was something you loved, yes, but never wanted to exploit his abilities, so you played dumb when it came to art so he wouldn't think you were using him.
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who then laughed at you for thinking such silly things, he loved you and frankly, it was a bit endearing that you thought so much about him and that you didn't want to worry him, but he was also never worried about someone using him for his art abilities in the first place, because he could feel the love you have for him (cough cough, because of the bond, which made his life a lot easier when it came to your moods).
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who after that, often helped you with your art, especially when projects and homework piled up and you needed some extra hands or motivation to finish them. He would be there, either drawing alongside you or sometimes helping you finish a project or two when you really needed help. You told him that he didn't need to do all that but he just brushed off your concerns : “Why wouldn't I help when I have the ability and the time to do so? Besides, it's better than working on another commission Thomas is nagging me to finish.”
It was a nice, sunny day. Rafayels studio was quite warm, but none of you cared about it since the sunlight proved to be the perfect light source for your paintings. Ever since your lovely, artistic boyfriend found out about your love for art, he was insistent on having art dates and seeing your abilities in person. Were you nervous about showing your work to a world class artist? Yes, but he was also your boyfriend, and he would never judge you. “You know, you are staring a lot. Do I have paint on my face, hm cutie?” Rafayel teased you slightly as he caught your eyes wandering to his face yet again instead of the still life the two of you were supposed to paint. You blushed slightly at his words, but you opted to hide your face more behind your canvas instead of trying to win over him when it came to teasing. He was right after all, but you saw the way his eyes looked at you ever so often as well. “... You are no better, I would say.” You said as you continued your work, you looked at the composition in front of you, before eventually looking back at your canvas and continuing to work. “I'm finished with my work, so I can pay attention to something more interesting now.” “Huh, already?!” You questioned, panicking slightly since you weren't really even halfway done yet, only base colours done and some basic shading. “Nah I'm just making fun of you. Don't worry, I'm not done either, buuutt I'm sure you can show me your progress now, righttt?” You stared at your canvas for a moment, you weren't really painting the composition the two of you agreed upon, you were painting Rafayel. How could you not when he sat right across from you and he looked so focused on his work? You saw Rafayel working many times before but it felt different now for some reason and you wanted to capture that handsome face of his. “Only if you show me yours as well.” “Sure, I have nothing to hide.” He shrugged and presented you his work as you showed him what you did as well. He painted you. The painting was beautiful, of course, even when it wasn't finished. The signature light colours of his swirled perfectly to create you, looking at the composition, with your face and eyes illuminated by sunlight. It looked ethereal, even though the two of you started almost two hours ago only. “... It seems we both had the same idea.” You laughed slightly, it was surprising that the two of you had the same idea at the same time, but you found it charming nonetheless. “Well, great minds think alike, am I right?”
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who never judged your art, only praised it. He often gave you advice or friendly critique, but only when you asked, and he never touched your work by himself. He was extremely supportive of your abilities and all the paintings or sketches he got from you were proudly showcased on his wall.
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who gave you art supplies. Lots of them, all high quality or hand made. You told him many times that he doesn't need to but he says that you deserve the same equipment as him. Also, suddenly there is another easel in his studio in a nice separate corner yet close to his work space as well, he didn't say specifically that they are for you, but he encourages you to come to his studio when you want to paint.
﹒ ⁺ Rafayel who overall is absolutely ecstatic about having a partner that also loves art, he thinks it's so wonderful that he can do the thing he loves most with the most important person in his life.
