do you think Peter ever brushed Flash's hair for him, when he couldn't do it himself?

referring ofc to the time Flash was recovering from a coma in the early 2000s (aka Jenkins/Ramos Spectacular Spider-Man)

Already put the closeup of their faces obviously. Peter's is worried but caring, of course. For Flash, since it generally seemed like he could gradually move some muscles in his face and hands and like, open or close his eyes kind of, I figured I would make his expression a little softer and more at peace instead of so sad, cause I figure this would be a nice moment for him. he can't exactly smile like he used to but he can get slightly more happy looking

(Spectacular Spider-Man (2003) issue #6)

just some boots

spidey shoes

different from what i normally draw, going for the slim flexible soles that can fit inside boots lol

i still don't really like to color with shading, or maybe just the results of coloring lol but 🤷

they're lit by the TV though

[toorurii]

asking again becuz i love this dude… i would love to know more about basil (basile??) basil. ANY facts ANY info

HELP I actually saw ur first ask but I wanted to make his TH first before I went all in on answering 😭 I’m in the middle of revamping him rn but I can tell u some bits and pieces that are probably gonna stay w/ him!! Super happy that u like him bc I adore that guy and he’s one of my oldest OCs (since I was like 15 I think..)

- Name is pronounced buh-seal!

- he’s 6’9” (I know)(it was a joke and now I’m committing to the bit) and polar bear themed! So he’s very tanky and hits really hard if he’s pushed to doing that… his grip strength is nuts

-He’s a VERY powerful sorcerer, and actually classified as a mortal that has the ability to actually kill an angel or demon in my universe canon if he puts his mind to it

- A healer, but it stems from black magic, specifically in the necromancy ballpark. He doesn’t have heinous intentions though and only learned it to bring someone dear back to him (they didn’t come back right but we don’t gotta worry abt that). He does still have a very keen interest in the dark arts though even if it’s to just be extremely knowledgeable on the subject as opposed to actually practicing it

-… He’s only smart in the magic arts… in any other category he’s very air headed / in his own little world… he’s very sweet though if you can ignore his bluntness!!! (And ominous remarks about how brittle he thinks neck bones are)

- He’s at least 100 years old but no one in his universe knows for sure 🤔 it shows in his hair, though his eyebrows stayed his natural color despite it all! It’s his magic keeping him alive 🤷

-he has three ‘kids’…… Or really three homunculi he made because he was lonely. they’re all ice magic/ bear-themed too! Rosette is his eldest (they’re triplets..) if you know her! (I’ll tag her so u can see her on my blog, I think there’s like 2 pics of her tho so 😅)

-branching off of rosette she knows powerful magic bc of Bas! She also disowned him bc she thinks he’s weird so she’s like someone else’s kid now but once again we ain’t gotta worry abt that

-Final point is that Bas IS weird… He’s developed into the ‘freaky gentle giant’ kind of trope for me so he’s supposed to be a little scary and off putting.. he’s CRAZY charismatic though and has a very flowery/romantic way of speaking (one of his main character points is that he usually gets flustered after saying something super corny) 🫡 he’s also a hardcore people pleaser!

I nabbed some pics of him too! His designs gonna change a little but he’s still my beloved old man

[spiralingemptyness]

Lin kuei hc

working on art but in the meantime take this

bi-han does care bout his sibling but doesn’t know how to show it

He would protect his siblings when he was younger as much as he could and continued to do so, he just lost touch with reality and most emotions

Bi han also went thru tougher training than the others cause his role and didn’t spend a lot of time around them

After Tomas’s family was killed, he fell into a heavy depressive state, he locked himself in a room and wouldn’t take care of himself 

Bi han and kuai liang both helped Tomas get back on his feet after his family was destroyed

Bi Han (and Kuai’s) mom taught him how to braid his hair and he often wore it in a braid until his mom died

Bi Han views Tomas as a brother but will never acknowledge it… man has a shit load of issues (let me be delusional)

Sareena is one of the only people who can  and will put bi han in his place and it’s funny to witness (this man afterwards isn’t even mad he’s just shocked)

Tomas and Kuai were pretty much inseparable growing up (it used to be the three of them but then training started so it dwindled down to two)

Tomas Chinese sucks, so they mostly conversed in English (only Kuai learned enough Czech to communicate with him)

Tomas can pick up both his brothers, this man has bicep muscles for fucking days (it absolutely confuses and scares both of them)

Post-betrayl Kuai would hardly sleep and when Tomas found out he would just chill with him until he fell asleep

Harumi is a childhood friend, I’m assuming they met during a long mission in Japan and kept in touch afterwards

First time Harumi met/saw (post-betrayal) Bi han she did not hesitate to threaten to cut his dick off, Bi han was shocked and Kuai fell more in love

Sibling trait shared between Bi han and Kuai, Taste in women: strong and powerful and can probably kick their ass. Taste in men: questionable (more so Bi han than Kuai)

Tomas has a more brutal killing style (just look at the fatalities) because he grew up trying to fit in and be enough for the Lin kuei

Only reason Tomas likes the Lin kuei is because of the kindness Kuai Liang (and a bit of Cyrax) showed him

Every time Tomas does smth that pisses Bi han off, bi han would reply with smth along the lines of “goddamn Europeans and their goddamn tea”

Both Madam Bo and Liu Kang helped train the Lin kuei brothers (and madam Bo become a parental figure)

If Tomas gets flustered of embarrassed smoke will just start appearing

Bi han has permanent frost bite on his skin, issues of being a cyromancer

tomas and kuai liang still hang out with the champion gang, still going to madam Bo’s tea shop

johnny still harasses Kuai about being in his movies, Kuai still turns him down

sektor is a huuuyuge tech and mechanics nerd, he’s good with computers, and can take things apart and put it back together without trying

i kinda feel like giving with gender fluid or non binary cyrax because in mk9-11 cyrax was a guy or robot and now cyrax is a women….. so fuck gender honestly

whenever they use their magic fucking power things (idfk what it’s called) they’re eyes change color, Bi Han’s turn blue, Kuai liang’s turn yellow/orange, and Tomas’s turn either darker grey/black or grey/yellow combo (I say that cause enenra and mkx stuff 🤷🤷🤷)

WE WANT PICS OF THE FABRICS PLEASEEE

here they are ^^

i ended up getting 5 total that day, it was pretty heavy to walk back with haha

the blue floral cotton fabric was going to become a skirt, but now i think it won't drape well enough for the skirt design i had in mind so i'm rethinking what to use it for

the black fabric is sheer with gold embroidery and holo sequins, and i'm thinking of either turning it into a sheer overlay skirt, or finding another fabric to go under it and layering them for a regular skirt

the yellow/gold is a cotton/poly blend that's turning into a radri shirt, and while i got 5 yards to have more than i need i'm now worried i might not have any significant scraps left over >_< we'll see

the green fabric is a lightweight linen that i'm turning into kind of a loose gathered shirt/dress that i might just wear as pajamas, idk. this one i got because i loved how it felt to touch

the gray fabric is a midweight (?) linen that i'm thinking of using for a corset and/or a dress of some sort, idk yet. i was really into the color when i was there in the store bc it looked like such a soft dusky lavender, but when taken out into the light it just reads as plain grey, so tbh i have regrets about this one T_T it was just ~$8 USD/yard though so i can't be too sad about it

i also got some fabric squares at the dollar store (above) and some fancy ribbons (below)

the dollar store fabrics i got mainly for ita bag/merch display purposes. i have a lot of keychains but nowhere great to put them (i don't like putting them on my keys bc they add bulk, and i don't like having them on my bag bc they make noise--i really just like keychains to look at them) so i might cover a board in fabric and display my keychains there

the ribbons were kinda expensive, like twice the price per yard of any fabric i bought there. but i feel like they were probably comparable to usa prices, so i don't think it was a loss 🤷 just maybe not a killer deal lol

some of the ribbons kind of match up with the fabrics i got, but the only ones i'm really considering using together at this point are the sheer black + black/purple/gold ribbon. the other ribbons i'm just going to keep in my sewing box until i find the perfect application for them

[cynoswifey]

Can you do a blue lock scenario where the reader is colorblind and just doesn’t know it? The couple is out shopping and the reader is like “I love this blue dress”and the boy is like “uhh that is brightest green dress I have ever seen”.

Blue lock boys: Isagi, Shidou, Rin, and anyone you want to write for!!

An: I read a bit on colorblindness and it's actually an interesting topic. I think this colorblindness is Tritanopia. Correct me if I'm wrong in anything.🙏

Warnings: a bit suggestive in Shidous part. Here comes the dopamine 🤷

Characters: Isagi, Rin, Shidou, Bachira, Nagi, Sae

^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•

Isagi

Isagi was on his phone to talking to his friends from Blue Lock about who knows what meanwhile you were looking through clothes. When suddenly a beautiful blue green catches your eye! "I love this blue dress." Isagi looks up from his phone then looks at you blinks once...then twice. Then he gives you a confused look. "Babe that's like the brightest green I've ever seen..?" You both just look at each other for a couple seconds...then you just shrug and put the dress in the cart. Isagi doesn't forget if though he cares a lot about you so he starts to worry a bit about both of you. Eventually he takes you and himself to get both of your eyes examed. And that's there they diagnose you with Tritanopia which is a form of colorblindness where you can really tell the difference between blue-green pink-yellow and purple-red. Isagi cares so much about you so it doesn't really matter he'll help you with colors for anything. He smiles softly whenever he helps you out with them he's such a golden retriever 🙄.

Rin

Rin was leaned up against the shopping cart looking through his phone while you where looking at clothes then you see a beautiful blue dress and look at it "I love this blue dress" You say with a smile. Rin looks up and sees the dress for a second he thinks his eyes are deceiving him. Then raises an eyebrow and looks at you like 🤨 "That's like the brightest green dress I've ever seen?" You just look at him with a confused look "Rinnie...it's blue...?" You guys just look between each other then back at the dress confused. Then Rin just shrugs and agrees that it's pretty. Then when you put it in cart he checks the tag where lo and behold it says 'Color: GREEN'. Rin gets a bit concerned then starts doing research... Then he stumbles over a colorblindness called Tritanopia a colorblindness that makes you unable to tell the difference blue and green, purple and red, and yellow and pink. Rin then takes you to an eye doctor where they diagnosis you with Tritanopia. He actually does a bunch of research on it to he wants to be able to understand it. He will help you with colors if you get them mixed up he doesn't mind he actually thinks it's cute won't ever admit it though 🙄

Sae

Sae is professional soccer player so he has a lot of money and what does he do with it? Spoil you ofc. So here you guys are at the mall looking through stores. Sae holds the door for you as you guys walk into another store. And that's when you lay eyes on the prettiest blue dress "Oh Sae is that blue dress beautiful I love her." He turns his head to look at it practically taking out his wallet already. And he looks around but there's no blue dress? "Which one?" You guide him to the dress and he looks confused "Babe that's the brightest green I've ever seen..?" You both look at each other confused. But he still buys you the dress. Once you both are at home he is still thinking about it and starts to do a little research. He even does those 'Are you colorblind test'. He starts to think you are colorblind so he convinces you to go get checked and when they tell you that you have Tritanopia a form of colorblindness where you are unable to tell the difference between blue-green, pink-yellow, and purple-red. One he learns about those glasses for colorblind people Sae actually buys you those. (he was kind of curious to see if they actually worked)

Shidou

Had his arms around your waist from behind as he watches you look through clothes occasionally dropping his opinion on dresses he sees as well as some comments on how they would look better off of you. After a while you looking you spot a beautiful blue green "Ryu I love this blue dress opinions?" He just kinda gives you a look like 🧐 and tilts his head to the side. "Doll That's like the brightest fucking green I've never seen." And you just are confused for a bit before Shidous hand grips your ass "That doesn't matter though. You'd still give me a rush wearing that~" He's say while biting your neck. You just roll your eyes and continue shopping. It kind of sticks with him. He thinks his eyes are fucked up or something so he doesn't originally think your the problem. But it keeps happening so eventually he gives in and goes to get his eyes checked he's fine. So then you get checked and that's when they diagnose you with Tritanopia a colorblindness that makes you unable to tell the difference between Green and blue, Pink and yellow, and purple and red. He doesn't mind it though 🤷 doesn't treat you any different your still you and your still fine as fuck to him 🤷 He's still your little horny demon. Butt still gets a little tripped up when you mess up some colors but he'll help you. Especially if you reward him 🫡

Bachira

Bachira was practically jumping off the walls of the store his energy sending making him unable to stay still for to long. But when he sees something that he thinks would look good on you he shows you it. But then a beautiful blue dress on a mannequin got your attention "Ahh Bachi I love that blue dress" He turns to see what dress and looks everywhere "Which one love??" You guide him to the mannequin. And he raised his eyebrow "Uh that's like the bright green I've ever seen babe 🤨?" He sees how your eyes widen "You colorblind or something Bachi?" You ask and he just shrugs "Maybe I am 😯😯" That stays with him and eventually he gets his eyes checked and he comes out fine? So then you check yours and they tell you that you have a form of colorblindness called Tritanopia which makes anyone with it unable to tell the difference between blue-green, pink-yellow and purple-red. Bachi doesn't mind it though. He'd love you if you where a worm 🐛. He will help you with colors with a bright smile.

Nagi

Having to drag Nagi to the mall is an accomplishment honestly. He mostly just has a hand holding on to your shirt letting you take him anywhere. Nagi had his head on yours as you looked through clothes. "I love this blue dress" You say with a bright smile. Nagi blinks....then blinks again the dress is the brightest green he's ever seen. He thinks he's tired and so he goes along with it but the next day when he sees the dress in the closet he thinks he's tripping balls. Then he starts to think he's colorblind cause you said it was blue. When they tell him he's fine he ask you to get checked. And that's when you figure out you have Tritanopia, a form of colorblindness where it makes you unable to tell the difference between blue and green, purple and red, and yellow and pink. Nagi doesn't mind it at all though it doesn't change how much he loves you all that matters is that your still you 🤷

Dating Van Palmer

pre-crash headcanons

for the anon who req'd them ❤️

can and will make you watch every movie in a franchise. hope you liked the first Friday the 13th, you're gonna have to watch the other 8 as well. she can not leave something unfinished once she starts it. 

absolute hocus pocus fan. quotes "another glorious morning. it makes me sick!" at least once a week. The Sanderson sisters were big eye openers for her. 

she always has movies playing in the background even if yall are doing other things. she just really likes the background noise. she'll mouth the words as they happen because she knows them so well.

i think she'd read/write out loud. you're working on homework together and you hear her unconsciously murmering the words as she writes her English essay.

van keeps convincing you to study with her but will ultimately keep forcing playful eye contact till she distracts you away from it. Definitely as excuse to hookup/makeout. she knows what she likes 🤷. 

van sleeping on her back while you sleep against her side in one of her arms. nosing up against her neck as you get comfortable, one arm thrown loosely around her. 

Van would lay her head face first in your chest everytime she could. it's not even inherently sexual, she just comes home and is like "today drained me". 

she's such a nickname girl. not even cutesy nicknames, she thinks it's funny to lengthen your name as a joke. like if your name's Kelly she'd call you Kellabeth at least once. 

there are very few things Van wouldn't do to make you laugh. she prides herself on being funny and sees your laughter as a sign of affection. dating Van means getting your own personal court jester. 

she strikes me as the watching type. you'd catch her staring at you a lot. she wouldn't be able to take her eyes off of you, she feels so lucky to be able to date you.

yall would exchange flirty looks over your cups at parties from across the room. you'd be talking to Jackie and Jackie would be like "Y/N? Hellooooo? 👋👋" 

you get in a big argument with another yj and you look over and vans ass is just like 😍😍😍. 

she'd plan you these really thoughtful dates if you were into them, but when it's your turn she just wants you to take her to get food and see a movie. 

I don't think vans ever really had someone pay as much attention to her as you do, so there's a big learning period for her on how to respond to it. it would really fluster her until she got used to it. 

watches you put on makeup/nail polish in awe. has very little interest in it herself but will ask you to paint all of her nails a different color at least once

taking the rare chance to touch her in public by carefully painting a yellowjacket on her cheek before a pep rally. like you're holding her chin gently in one hand while painting with the other. vans like 😳. the other yjs looking at each other like 🤔. 

van would go all fucking out for Halloween though. not in like a wholesome way though. she would hide around corners and jump out to scare the shit out of neighborhood children. she can and will collect all the candy they dropped. you're watching her in disbelief and she's just like 😁.

van likes to slip in the shower with you and just hold you under the spray. there's something about the shower specifically that makes her crave that kind of contact with you. Just stands behind you and wraps her arms around you until you coax her out or the water gets cold. 

she's surprisingly sentimental. she'd keep things you gave her no matter how small. she has a whole box in her room filled with notes you sent her in class. 

[valenfield-inspo]

The other week I was binging some Hawaii Five-O (the remake tv series that ran from 2010-20) and noticed Quinn Liu's (Katrina Law) outfit has a similar vibe to Jill's look in Death Island:

Granted this episode aired in 2019 before Death Island came out in 2023. I just wonder if there was a tiny bit of inspo here. Probably just coincidental as tank tops and jeans are a common combo. Plus Quinn is not sporting the layered tank look that Jill has on there. So next I zoomed in on Quinn's necklace and again another similarity:

Quinn's necklace is similar to Jill's in RE3R (Jill still has the same pendant in Death Island but that one was more of a choker style and this one here matches the length better with Quinn's necklace.). Jill's pendant is more on a black cord while Quinn's is on a silver chain but same kind of style pendant.

Bringing up that unused hair concept from Death Island DVD extras again as I did in a previous Jill post I reblogged here. Again, a somewhat similar style (not hair color-wise, obviously). Ok maybe I am pushing it on that, 😂. I just think it's neat finding similarities between RE and other media, intentional or not. 🤷

[dootznbootz]

Water Nymphs and their descendents in Dootz/Mads' bullshit :P

So I know I'm going a bit nuts on the nymph stuff so I thought I'd explain it a lil bit! :D It's long af as I have SO many thoughts. Might make a straight-up demi-god one later

Things that are true with both Nereids and Naiads descendants:

Neither can do much with and have a hard time with their opposite. AKA Freshwater vs. Saltwater. It's possible that they can get used to the opposite but they will not be able to breathe or really control it. Can control and work with some but it's...difficult and not a lot. Naiads though, CAN take out the salt in increments and eventually just get fresh water. This was usually done during very bad droughts with permission from the Nereids. This is probably one of the things that give Naiads an advantage over Nereids as Nereids can't go further inland where freshwater is and necessarily turn it into salt water. Also, Nereids are bigger and physically stronger than Naiads. That doesn't mean that they always "win". But Nereids ARE more well-known and have a better connection to the big water gods. Also, only Poseidon's children can do shit with both.

Water births! This only affects PREGNANT people with naiad blood. If the father of the child has naiad blood but the mother does not, she probably won't need to do a full water birth but probably will need more water (why more water nymphs are women) It has to be within their "water type" as well. (Salt/fresh) For naiads though, with all the different types of water sources, it is more complicated. As say, for example, if there is a drought when they are born, they probably grow up to be smaller and possibly sickly. And being born in a lake vs. stream will affect size as well. Sometimes even a pond. Usually, there are preparations to try and be near a good water source for the expecting mother. There are some times when it catches moms by surprise and they have to rush to the nearest water source. Sometimes that's a bathtub :P Possibly sickly and small baby. Kind of like how certain fish grow to be bigger because they're in a big place :D Nereids are big ladies because of the sea being BIG :D

If they end up living in a new place? It's an adjustment to that new source as the minerals are different along with the different cultures as well. However, if naiad born person is visiting and there's "business" to be done with the locals, ofc they're not gonna partake as it's not "their water". If there is a drought probably will only do stuff for their companions.

There's not necessarily a "rivalry" or fighting between nereids and naiads. It's more like a "Hi! We're cool but I will NOT go in your water. I don't like it." Both will eat fish from "the other side" though. They might just not PREFER it. If there's freshwater going into the sea, they tend to meet there but don't like "passing over".

Both are kind of "fishy"! :D Pointed ears, sharp teeth, scaled, Big Irises, usually blue/green in eye color, shimmering scales sometimes, etc. Don't necessarily have gills and I think I'll have them kind of breathe through their skin.

"What tf does it mean to be seasick?" Both are comfy on boats no matter what type of water their on 🤷

Also while all fullborn nymphs are women, there are nymph descendants that are men and still have nymph traits and abilities.

With men going to war...there's a reason why they don't move water while fighting.

I'll talk about Nereids first as there are only 50 of them and not as many children. (This is Achilles' and Thetis' time to shine)

Much more PHYSICALLY powerful and larger (Blubber also exists with real saltwater animals!) than Naiads as the sea never has "drought" (No water), and is bigger and endless. (Though Achilles, being only a demigod, could get his ass beat by a full Naiad if he's near freshwater).

Achilles can literally drink seawater and actually prefers to do this. Can breathe in it as well. And this poor boy, being Nereid-born yet still getting fresh water for baths whenever he was more inland. He would just CRY during them because it "feels wrong". He eventually gets used to it but it's sadly still uncomfortable for him :'( Toss this boy in the sea.

Achilles is actually really tall. Like towering over most of the other Achaeans as he's a demigod.

One of the reasons WHY he's so sure he can take on Scamander/Xanthos (other than rage) Why are there so many names for one individual?! is because of the whole "Nereids are more powerful physically" than beings from the river but...Achilles is NOT in his element... He's not near the sea. He's also JUST a demigod. You're not fighting a naiad-born person near the sea, you're fighting a River GOD in his element. (I know he just doesn't give a fuck but it's funny to think about him being like "Yeah, I could take him down" and getting his ass kicked)

Naiads!!! I have a lot more on them as this has more to do with the characters of the Epic Cycle, as many of them are descended from Naiads, and how Naiads interact with mortals more often (getting drinking/bathing water)

So the "gods of that specific body of water" are like the "Queen bee of a hive", Naiads are like the worker bees. The Gods are usually at the very source of the water and "are the water" themselves. Naiads do a lot of the "work" though. Naiads will ask for help if they feel they need to or if the god is angry enough.

While Nereids almost all look identical in many ways. (same parents) Naiads from place to place absolutely vary. All sorts of body, hair, eye, etc. types based on the water you were born in! Especially if the father doesn't have any naiad blood in them. The more Naiad blood in you, the more you are like the water you were born in. The More WATER you are. The more "Human" your parents are, the more likely water will not affect your appearance.

Born in Rapids from a long, medium-width river? Probably curly (rapids being wild) and light hair color (the white moving water) with a tall and "medium" body. Born in a very clear, calm lake that's very deep and has a lot of red clay? Straight red hair with a chubbier body typer. Born in the murky, calm, short, creek? Probably smaller framed, with straight dark hair. You get the idea! :D

If, for example, a full-blooded naiad gets with a man who is half-naiad, it's not uncommon for your child to come out with some "impossible" appearance. Two black-haired parents can give birth to a blond baby if born in a certain place simply because of the WATER. This doesn't affect personality though.

Also, Naiads CAN go from place to place as long as it's the same region and similar water! River, stream, lake, fountain, and it's not too uncomfortable if it's in the same region (same minerals help!)

Full-blooded Naiads live in the water basically at all times but ofc, it's not like they don't marry and live with their new spouse. Though they should spend SOME time every day in the water. While it's harder for them to get dehydrated, it's still possible. Also, it feels nice! :D

If you're a mortal person who's now married to a naiad-born, you BETTER have easy access for them to get to water or then they'll probably leave you. :P Though sometimes nymphs have flings and just have their children be raised as a naiad but that depends on the place. Not ALL can live among mortals or then who'd do river stuff! :D

Different places have different customs with naiads and even with how much interaction happens. Culture usually somewhat resembles the culture of the region in general as well. Sometimes even depends on the wildlife and water type. Activities with River Naiads are different than the activities done for the Pond Naiads :D

With mortal interactions for example as well, Sparta is a place where nearly half the nobility are in some way descended from Naiads and literally can walk up to a nymph for help and most likely get it and offerings are more like "gifts" as they have more "friendship" there. While Ithaca has basically NO ONE descended from them and has to give offerings and sacrifices as required for example. (Odysseus is only so close to those naiads mentioned in the Odyssey because they become new sister-in-laws for him through Penelope. They're Telemachus' aunties >:D )

Mortals will even make man-made sources of water if the Naiads need more room/water sources. Or if there's a drought, may ask the royalty for help in possibly speaking to the Nereids if they can have some to change into freshwater... It's a partnership in most cases.

Even if the relationship between the people and nymphs is good, sometimes shit happens. If they are "mad" at the people for whatever reason or maybe weak from something themselves, they usually will head up the river/stream and...leave the people to deal with the water until they get their offerings or their strength back. Even non-humans make mistakes/get weak also sometimes.

And if someone is killed by a nymph?? Do you actually want to avenge them if it means you won't have access to water without some other sacrifice?? All those asshats that always need to take a piss off the piers and fishing docks and into the water would be killed on sight btw

Full-blooded Naiad Wife (Like Periboea): Can sense bad water as soon as it comes near them. Knows from what source it is from. Can tell what is causing it. Can purify with no problems. Can water bend a lot. Can live underwater without leaving it ever to get "air". Should have a "dip" in the water a few times a day. Usually pretty "ingrained" into their original region. It's dumb to try and bring her to a new place full-time. Can heal wounds AND probably sickness. Pointed ears, sharp teeth, large pupils, some scales, etc.

3/4 blooded person (Like Penelope and her siblings): Basically the same as above except for minor things. One difference is that if there is bad water, they usually can tell what's causing it but maybe not the specifics (i.e. Knows that there's a dead animal contaminating the water but might not be able to know what exact TYPE of animal.) Can water bend a lot as well but probably not the entire river. Has to be in the water at least ONCE a day. Can stay underwater for around a week until it starts being "uncomfortable". Can leave the region and adjust to other waters (though it'll probably still be uncomfortable at first) Can heal wounds and sickness (some naiad-born are more talented than others) Pointed ears, sharp teeth, big irises, not nearly as many scales but probably some, etc., and can be affected by dad's genetics but are definitely more affected by the water they were born in for an appearance.

1/2 blooded person (Like Tyndarius, Icarius, and Hippocoon): This is where the changes really start. Can't sense bad water until they touch it. Can "move the water" but not as much or as efficiently. Should take a dip once a day but CAN go without for 2 days until they start getting uncomfortable. Can only be underwater for around 1-3 days (depending on, some spend more time in the water than others) before needing oxygen from the air. Prefer not to be in seawater but CAN without feeling "too wrong". Only slightly pointed ears and while they have sharp teeth, they can smile without scaring people not familiar with it.

1/4 blooded person (Like Clytemnestra): Usually have to actually TASTE the water before they can tell it's bad. If they practice a lot they can maybe use a bathtub full of water :D. Only slightly pointed ears. can maybe stay underwater for 1 day with practice. can go a week without a few days without a "dip" in the water. Can go in the ocean with just an "...Ew."

Control group, with no naiad blood: "I'm just going to take a sip of water...Why tummy hurt? Say sike right now."

"Why don't men in the armies who are descended from Naiads use their abilities during wars?"

...Because local river gods don't let them. :D

"Look, you can drink from my waters and even fight with it for minor scuffles but don't involve me in your wars! >:( Be thankful I'm letting you have water to drink and bath with, you dipshits!"

I mean with how Scamander reacted to his river getting fucked up from all the blood and bodies??? Achilles fucked around and found out.

Rambling and maybe a bit silly but let me know what y'all think! :D

hey it's me again i just saw the anon ask about the orgy and oh my god.. what a twist way to finish that episode.. cave orgy that ends up with not two but THREE robobabies, and a large dragon joining the team.. phew. and the fact that in that ask mechs getting sparked work the same way as cats (the babies can be from different fathers), grrr,,

Anyway. Made me give a horny side to an idea i had, where Magnus somehow manages to talk to Predaking after Wheeljack passes out - by the time Optimus gets there, he only finds Wheeljack in the rubble, no sigh of the other two. Meanwhile Predaking took Magnus away so they can talk without being interrupted - basically he sees how improbable it is that the bots found the lab, way sooner than in the show, but he can't focus on that very much because his instincts are screaming at him about how perfect of a partner Magnus seems to be. A perfect consort for a king..

He woos Magnus in only a few days, somehow. They hang out in a cave where no bots or cons can find their signals, and the talk about the War slowly morphs into talking about Magnus himself, which then turns into compliments..

Magnus is still unsure of how he was wooed that quickly, laying on his back as Predaking spreads his legs and settles between them to eat him out.. And he's never felt anything like that before. Predaking's tongue is so, so long, and part of it is rough, kind of like a cat's, dragging against his nodes..

The first time it happens, Predaking just eats Magnus out until the Commander is overstimulated, weakly patting his head as he gurgles for him to stop - which Predaking immediately does.

The second time (the next day), Predaking fingers Magnus open, toying with his node as Magnus squirms, clumsily pawing at his panels - overloading on the spot when he sees the two large spikes emerging once his panels open up. And again when Predaking promises that tomorrow, he's getting those spikes inside him..

And it happens. Finally, on the third day of being intimate, Predaking slowly, carefully pushes his spikes inside Magnus, watching him overload twice just from being stretched wide open and filled. Cue crazy sex, Predaking fucking him as though trying to breed him.. Marking him up as his consort.

When Magnus finally calls for a bridge and gets back to base, he's all scuffed up, covered in paint transfers and claw marks.. He has to reassure them, that after the fight he got to talk to Predaking, and now the large dragon is their ally, laying in wait on the decepticon warship. NOT telling them about how he got the best frag of his life. Wheeljack and Arcee absolutely do not believe that's all of it, but decide not to push right now - Ratchet is already chewing out the Commander for them. Ratchet, who figures out pretty quickly how most of those marks were made, as he patches up Magnus..

That night, Magnus gets a visit from Optimus in his ship, because the Prime knows exactly what happened, and his own feelings (and breeding kink) are making him quite jealous..

Magnus gets the spiking down of his life for the second time in two days, mewling and overstimulated as he's again filled with transfluid..

Predaking's breeding kink vs Optimus Prime's breeding kink, GO !

Hiiiiii laure!!!!

If we do go with the build-a-baby transformers fanon then multi-dad carrying makes sense to me too! 🤷

(I don't think it's a one to one, where they all have one dad per kid, all the kids have a mix of all three, they just have a main dad that kinda obvious because all of their sires are very different looking. If say, hound and mirage were to both get cliffjumper sparked it would be a little harder to tell who's the main sire of which kid because they are all cars and the colors aren't always a give away!

Sorry for the dump about all that I think abt potential sparklings and how that all works at work when I'm bored lol 😅😅)

Honestly I don't think it would be that hard for Predaking and Magnus to get through to each other, maybe before Predaking crushes his hand, he has a bit of a 'why did you do it' breakdown over the autobots killing the rest of the predaclones and Magnus goes 'we didn't do it tho :/'

Obviously Predaking needs more info, but he can hear Optimus charging down the tunnel (cause he's not focused on killing Magnus this time lol) and impulsively grabs Magnus and takes off. When Optimus finally gets there... There's no sign of either of them...

Predaking really did take Magnus with the intention of figuring out what was going on! But he's never actually spent time around mecha who aren't traitorous decepticons, and he keeps getting distracted by thoughts of what a great consort Ultra Magnus would be, and a king needs a queen... 😏😏😏

Listen. Listen... I like the idea of Magnus being kinda easy, he just never has anyone try and hook up with him so no one knows 🤭🤭 and as Magnus and Predaking keep talking and getting closer, Magnus can't help but give in and spread his legs for Predaking...

I love them slowly working up to actual penetration, but by the time they get to that point they're both so desperate, Predaking loses his mind. Biting and marking Ultra Magnus as they fuck, leaving his consort a beautiful mess.

Hrgghhh Magnus calling in a ground bridge, and walking out looking like he just got a train ran on him.

Wheeljack and Arcee don't believe they just 'talked it out' and Predaking join the autobots but also... Who's going to accuse Ultra Magnus of sleeping with the enemy? Their all shooed away by Ratchet pretty quickly so they don't have time to press for details.

Ratchet's not stupid, as soon as he sees the paint transfers he knows what's up. Who's he to judge? Everyone knows the kind of stuff the party ambulance got up too, and at least this time it got them an ally. Magnus goes back to his shop afterwards so he can finally get some peace and quiet, it's been a busy week ;).

Hrnnnnn Optimus looming around the medbay listening to Ratchet talk about the little repairs he needed to make and connecting the dots. (Ratchet may have been trying to get Optimus to finally make a move. There's only so many times you can listen to your friend talk about the guy he likes before you get fed up)

As soon as night sets in Optimus goes to Ultra Magnus' ship. Ultra Magnus is still getting the paint transfers off when he answers the door. Optimus went just to make sure Ultra Magnus was okay after his 'ordeal' but seeing all of Predakings paint transfers makes him... Lose him mind a little. Ultra Magnus doesn't know how they went from talking in the loading bay to him getting railed on his tiny berth but he's not complaining (he's a little busy moaning to complain)

Poor Magnus, caught between two mechs very determined to sire his sparklings, and very determined to deal with the war so Magnus will let them sire his sparklings 🤭🤭🤭

MDZS as Hanfu : Honorable Mentions

pt.1 pt.2

Ok, but I want a coat over Wei Ying’s outfit. I need the ✨DRAMA✨

I had other ideas for Sizhui. I needed a pink or red element to alude to his wen (and Wei) herritage. I love both of these but I felt the left was too traditional and the right too dark.

If you can’t tell by now I love Hanfu but have a fecking budget😭

Th Jiang were kind of hard. I love the left one but I didn’t feel it fit any of the Jiangs and I love the right one for JC but I wanted to show off a wider range of the modern styles. Not just, cute flowy blouse with long pleated skirt. 🤷 it’s really pretty I and I don’t really like what I picked for the Jiangs but whateverrr

Alternatives for the Nie’s. I just thought the others were better. I do looovee that long skirt

Ughhh. I couldn’t give it to anyone. Wellll, maybe this is me retconning Xichen hmmmmmmm. 🤷 I love both colors so muchhh

Wen or Wei alternate. It’s so cuuteeee

Hi! I have a question about recoloring hair: how do you avoid pixelation with dark color actions? I have retextured a hair and the volatile base looks fine but when I run a dark colour action like Dynamite or Caim on it the texture ends up looking very pixelated.

Hi there anon! This is a very good question. I'll admit that I do not feel that I am an expert on how to deal with this. However, I'll do my best!

After my explanation, I'll link to some stuff noted by more educated people; I've got no training in terms of digital art. I just mess around.

And anyone is free to chime in if they've got ideas! :)

But! Here's what I'd recommend if you're having a pixelation issue:

For the purpose of (trying) to answer your question, let's work with this WIP retexture of @powerpcinside's 4t2 conversion of Reina 89.

picture so large wtf

I've used Pooklet's v1 texture, and I've put in a 50% Lighten layer of Nypmpy's edit of Nouk's curls on it, very much lengthened to fill in some stripey bits at the bottom of this texture.

That's my normal method these days. Looks fine.

But, something that may contribute to pixelation after you run an action over it (in my experience) is a texture that is much too light.

So, to experiment, let's run Pooklet's Timebomb over the texture, making it a bright white.

A too light texture with a dark action run over will 1) produce a color that is not what was intended 2) may produce pixelation

Or, perhaps the texture you are working with was too highly contrasted?

This is the texture I was working with, with Photoshop's Auto Fix run over it 3 times.

...then with the Volatile action run over it...kind of looks okay still...

...but this ends up making @digisims2's Caim look more pixelated.

I hope that this was at least sort of helpful? Basically, if you're having a pixelation issue, I would take a look at the base texture you're working with. That's my best guess.

@pooklet's quick and dirty skin-smoothing tut might have some tips you could use!

If you're using the SimPE method to make hair recolors, perhaps this and this by @pforestsims might help too? 🤷

🔪🦴 and 🎨!

From this ask.

I am so sorry that this took me literally forever to answer. The fanart question kind of gave me pause and so this sat in my drafts for like ever. 😅 🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

🤔 Honestly, I think most of my stuff is pretty benign. It's probably something like "did they have bathrooms in [such and such year]?" I am notorious for going on tangent searches, though. Like, "Oh, is it plausible for them to have this career and also buy a house?" And then I just start looking at jobs in another country and real estate. 🤷

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 

Always music. I use it for pretty much everything. Not so much TV or movies. Sometimes to set a tone... It's really books and fanfic. I think The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald has been an inspiration, as well as The Giver by Lois Lowry. And it's really just their styles of writing, the points they can make in a short story. There's so much in them that I can't quite pinpoint but I have always admired and loved.

The next question is a bit longer, so I'll drop it under the cut!

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it.

Ugh, lemme just plug in the artists really quick... In order. @ifindus and @gybas-blog along with @tolyys.

Okay, so this is not only just stunning, it was the first time I'd ever had artwork done on one of my stories!! It holds a special place in my heart for that reason.

Another one like that. It's also so pretty, honestly. But it was art of one of my fanfics and I just love it. There's a reason that these two pieces are my banner and profile pic!

This is my wallpaper on my phone again. It's bright and hopeful and there are most definitely days when it's nice to see it because I need all of that.

And there are so many more! I love all the artists on here that bring so much life and color to the fandom!! ❤️

Hey—I’m super sorry for bothering you, but I saw that you’re taking asks and doing art requests. Would you be open to drawing Happy Tree Friends OC’s (it can just be a sketch, nothing fully colored)? If so, could you please draw my OC, Candy (she/her + they/them)?

She’s a middle aged chinchilla who runs their own bakery/cafe in Happy Tree Ville! Outside of her occupation, she loves music (specifically alternative and metal…she’s got a large collection of vinyl records), traveling and helping others whenever possible; to be fair, she also enjoys getting sleep whenever possible because they might overwork themself🤷 She loves wearing all kinds of piercings in their large ears. Also, she’s DEFINITELY not paired with a certain groovy bear or anything😔👊

quick non colored sketch o7 if you would like a colored one or something to do with more of what you said in the asks, I can do that too :3 !!!!

[ink-mar-qin]

Do you have any advice/tutorials on coloring? Particularly like the kind in this post: https://at.tumblr.com/ink-mar-qin/706429721172377600/jmuwt5cbkpih (really pretty!)

I've never figured out how to achieve colors like this; I was wondering whether you started with the usual base pallette and used blending modes, or if you selected the different colors yourself. The highlights especially add a lot to the piece and I was curious how you made the jump from green → pinkish like that. I took a color theory class last year in college, but despite my hopes we didn't actually learn how to do lighting or painting so much as graphic design color theory :/ rip

Don't feel pressured by my asking though; I understand if you don't want to say. Magicians code etc lol

Honestly, I don't know.. I just go with the heart🤷

But I'm glad you specifically choose the one that I made by IbisPaint, which automatically record ur art process loll

I hope the video helps tho

I drew the line using paper, colour it with Ibis🤌Idk if it works or not jhfsdghknccsdh
