Spirit Squad Inspired Facepaint!!
(I say Inspired cuz we know these aren’t very canon to their actual drawings)
Hey!! This is my first ever ‘CC’ creation so please be nice!! and also lmk if anything is off I’m still new to this whole thing and will do my very best to fix anything ❣️ This was purely just for funsies and personal use but might as well share 🫂
• BGC
• Child-Toddler
• 4 Swatches, 2 Colours for each of the face masks
• Disabled for Random
Find on my !Patreon
Some side notes:
I cannot figure out how to get the thumbnails to show up but I did import Thumbnails for them so idrk, Probs will fix later? maybe not? Srry
I was genuinely tweaking out trying to get Chris’s hair and eyes accurate and pre much gave up, My sweet boy deserves better 😔, Also I was v limited in cc usage and sliders cuz I made these while I was fixing up my sims style 🙄.
Sigh the best thing about drawing these is my art skills are on par with a nine yr old 😭🙏

jealousy anon here! eeeee ty for feeding me!!! it's hilarious to me shanks, mihawk, and crocodile are in ascending order on how much of a menace they are when jealous. im reading mihawk's and feeling kinda sorry for the ex and then crocodile comes in with the steel chair with implied murder. even shanks, who's the most "mild" ends with him thinking of using his conqueror's haki. it was so much fun reading what they're like when jealous. like. you are NOT immune to love making you stupid ❤️
Behind the Scenes to Croc’s Jealousy Scenario:
Tumblr media
How you phrased it made me laugh so I had to make a stupid meme 💀
Also!
Tumblr media
IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT 🥹🤍🤍🤍 thank you so much for taking the time to message again 😘 it was happenstance that they were in increasingly unhinged order but it tickled me too!! Your subconscious must’ve listed them out that way in the ask and I’m sticking to that story lol I’m really thankful you had fun reading❣️ it was so fun to daydream about 😩 I do tend to lean unhealthy/obsessive in jealousy daydreams so I tried to keep that more grounded to how I think their canon portrayals would act! Obviously couldn’t completely shield it from my tastes 💀
Also “you are NOT immune to love making you look stupid” gave me yet another laugh BUT it also got my brain thinking - what other ways would love have them making fools of themselves?? Shanks just constantly does that for funsies so to make his interesting it would more have to go from the angle of “how does love break his character”? Does being a fool for Shanks mean compromising your principals to impress and attain your partner?
For Mihawk I definitely think it’s more of his trying to disguise being disgustingly domestic and romantic with his Dark and Brooding exterior and doing it POORLY. Or maybe if he’s truly head over heels (and it’s only you around) he’d let himself be the butt of the joke for once just so he can see you laugh until your stomach hurts and know it’s cuz of him.
Croc is so tied to dramatic gestures in my brain. I have no explanation besides it just being his grandiose aura and ideals. He’s so ripe for the absolute cheesiness of of doing something that would fuck up his reputation like publicly groveling to get you back. It would be SO out of character if not built up solidly, but if that foundation is laid then the fact that it’s out of character would feel like part of The Point of him doing the gesture instead of it simply being written to shove him into a cliche. Not a knock on cliches - they’re quite fun but ooooooo do they pay off so much better with that groundwork 🤌🏻
Of course they’d all also be quite fun in scenarios where love just makes them overlook something Obvious or act impulsively and expose how down bad they are lol
Anyway sorry for more rambles shdhdishjdjs
Thank you again 🥰 sending love 🤍

OC ASKS YEAAAA
Okay, Red 🔴, Blue 🔵, and Disco 🪩 for both Ranne and Punicae 😚
helloooo Daryaaaaaa 💖❤️❣️❣️
Red 🔴 - What is a trait your OC has that those around them don't see very often? Is it seen by a rare few or completely overlooked?
Ranne: It’s canon that Ranne loves strawberries. Based off of a comment Leon/Ducks made when Ranne was created and I weaved it into their lore.
Punicae: Hrmmm… Punicae is very docile and wouldn’t hurt a fly but I do believe if it were to come to it, she could cast a few painful spells.
Blue 🔵 - How would your OC spend a single day of interrupted peace? Where would they go or who would they be with?
Ranne: Antagonizing whatever mortal community is closest. IM KIDDING (I’m not). Honestly, I don’t know what Ranne would do. Maybe kill some beasts for funsies.
Punicae: Punicae doesn’t do much as a goddess so I think she would just continue with a normal routine. Tend to whatever garden she has, talk with Dainthus, kiss the wife (Don’t even know how she would do that).
Disco Ball 🪩 - What was an achievement that your OC felt worthy of celebrating? Was it a personal victory or a big impact on everyone around them?
Ranne: So, in Ranne’s lore, Milborough dies when there’s a big war/conflict between the gods and bloodshed and carnage blah blah blah but somehow (still ordering this out) Lorelei is the reason Milborough dies. Ranne either kills or seriously harms Lorelei in revenge. This has a big impact cause Lorelei has the most patrons and followers out of the season gods.
Punicae: I don’t know what to put here! Punicae doesn’t have much lore 😭 I’m thinking maybe warning Ranne’s favor? Or simply getting close to Dianthus? Getting a wife
Ty for the askkkkkk 💖💕💓❤️

Hey! Can I ask a few questions? Imma ask my every fav author these.
1. How long have you been Writing?
2. Are you planning to make a profession out of this or just doing it for fun?
3. Who or which character do you prefer to write more for?
4. What do you do when you're out of ideas?
5. Lastly, Will plz give an advice for the young writers out that.
oh thanks for asking babe, feel free to send these in whenever you feel like it ❣️
How long have you been Writing?
so i have been writing for, i would say, a few years now. i think i started writing very early on, but those were very short and weird stories (i was 9, what do i even expect) but i got really serious about writing in 2021. i began to write my original works in the notepad of my tablet from then onwards lol (still havent finished😬)
i only started posting the fanfics on tumblr in june though
Are you planning to make a profession out of this or just doing it for fun?
i honestly want to make a profession out of this but as of now its just for funsies. but i do plan to publish my works later on if i get confident enough ❣️
posting fics here is also for some practising and exercising so i can improve my skills enough to actually do something with it.
Who or which character do you prefer to write more for?
i dont have a problem with writing for any character, though i feel like it is easier for me to get into the mindset suitable for writing characters i have a crush on, ya know?
for example, i love Az, Eris and Lucien (maybe also tam 👀), so its easier for me to write romantic stuff for them. But as for Cassian, (or rhys) i think of them like people i would like to have as a bestie or brother irl, so it takes me some time to actually get ideas for their stories
What do you do when you're out of ideas?
i just go to bed early and lie awake till 3 am trying to come up with something 🫠
or i simply scroll on youtube shorts until i find a random ass movie clip, and use it as inspo
Lastly, Will plz give an advice for the young writers out that.
okay so it is sooo hard to come up with something, but i would say to not hold back or stop posting or not post what you write at all.
you have to be very very vulnerable to be posting something you will very likely be judged for on the internet, where some people like to be mean for no reason, uncaring that a real person is reading their comments and probably getting hurt.
but there are good people too, who appreciate what you do, and so for them, and yourself, please post that fic you've been hiding in your basement for years, even if you think no one's gonna read it.
(i never thought i would post anything anywhere, but then reading stories from the amazing people in here, i posted the first chapter of a fic on wattpad (no one actually read it, which discouraged me a little) but then i decided to try tumblr, and here we are 🥹❣️)

❣️ + Kurama & Bond for funsies
𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐄 ❣️ + 𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈’𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔… Accepting
Tumblr media
@un1awful
Who is the little spoon?
Such a toss up, genuinely. Both of these characters are so dominant that part of me thinks that in the circumstance in which they do sleep together, neither of them spoon. Maybe a little bit of snuggling for sure, but no spooning. I don't think either of them have it in them to put their egos aside to be big spoon or little spoon. That being said, Bond has a lot of natural dominance in terms of how old he is compared to Kurama (as The Doctor has to be anywhere between six or seven hundred years old during his exile) that I do think it's plausible that Kurama becomes little spook naturally. Though it's a toss up, as I could see them fighting about it.
Who sings in the shower?
Bond, easily. I have a little headcanon that this incarnation sings a lot. In the shower, during ambient moments, as a distraction. That's how The Doctor's adhd manifests in Bond: quirks. Absent minded machinery tinkering, singing, repairing Bessie and/or The TARDIS. "I don't want to set the world on fire" is something he sings a lot. He knows certain operatics, and as Bessie is a top down car, he sings while driving. He's a singer. He sings. He's not embarassed about it, either.
Who plays pranks on the other?
The Doctor, being the big ole hypocrite that he is— is very much ready to call someone out for being childish just as much as he is himself, childish. He's petty, too. Kurama's certainly brought that out in him. Though Bond's pranks are very subtle, more or so in the way that he just sort of does it through conversation or through very low-effort, behind the scenes, in the moment pranks. In a pranking relationship, Bond & Kurama have Jim & Dwight energy. 
Who is the one who listens to pop music?
Kurama had to teach The Doctor about Nikki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion. In my earlier headcanon post, I mentioned that I Bond exists in a sort of pseudo-1970s aesthetic world. There isn't really much pop that comes to mind that I could see The Doctor listening too. He's very intellectual so soft rock isn't really his thing, but he has a deeper appreciation more so to how that kind of music can bring people together. That being said, I don't think he'd listen to it absently. Maybe if Kurama loaned him a CD or two, he might try and listen to it— but I think it mostly happens in the form of Kurama putting it on during a car ride and Bond just listening to it and not saying anything because he's "polite".
Who brings the other a random cup of joe?
Another toss up. As The Doctor literally has an assistant who brings him tea whenever he asks since he tries to do like 10 thousand things all at one time whenever he's in his labratory. That being said, in Kurama's office or another neutral place, The Doctor can easily go out of his way to blend or brew tea or coffee himself. If Kurama is at Bond's Laboratory, then Kurama brings the coffee. If The Doctor is at Kurama's office, he brews the coffee. They have a symbiotic relationship when it comes to caffinated drinks. Though I can see The Doctor trying to get Kurama to try more tea blends.
Who picks the cheesy movies for date night?
Kurama. I haven't been able to figure out if The Doctor likes movies in this incarnation. He might be able to see the appeal, and I'm certain The Doctor as an entity enjoys movies— but I can see The Doctor having other priorities. He probably prefers a night in, which is probably where Kurama ambushes him with the movie. They might agree to a mutual date night, for sure, and The Doctor would be engaged by whatever they're watching— but I don't think he can recognize cheese. He'd probably point out all the plotholes in the film and talk about what he'd do differently. Otherwise he's citing things the movies get wrong if they touch on things he's an expert in. He's very annoying like that.
Who is more likely to feed the other in public?
Give another point to the Detective. Mostly on the account that The Doctor doesn't really... need... to eat? I mean it's sort of like. A toss up. Some sources say Timelords require food to survive, others say they're charged up by the suns rays or some bullshit. Either way, whenever The Doctor eats it's for necessity, so he probably just wolfs down whatever he has and goes about his day. But I can for sure see Kurama feeding him something. That's something that happens a lot. People feed The Doctor, and he mostly tries it all because he's very interested in new cultures and new practices.
Who gives the other random little compliments?
The Doctor~ because I think it gets on Kurama's nerves whenever The Doctor compliments him. Mostly because you & I have talked about how The Doctor being genuine in his compliments gets under Kurama's skin. He's always very like, "Is that a new cologne, Detective Inspector? Well it's rather pleasent." And Kurama'd just be like, "You fucking dickhead." With such a pointed antagonism that it leaves The Doctor feeling all sorts of fuzzy. He's very much like, "Ohohohoho~ Did you not like my compliment? I was just being nice." Very coyly, in that gentlemanly way.
Who is always stealing food from the other’s plate?
Kurama. As mentioned in the previous question. Mostly because The Doctor, as previously mentioned, doesn't need to eat as much as a human does. So Kurama probably just steals whatever and The Doctor's just like: (Raised eyebrow emoji)
Who is more likely to let the other borrow their car? 
Does Kurama even have a car? The Doctor & Bessie are inseperable. I can see Kurama wrecking Bond's car the moment he gets his hands on the wheel. Perhaps not on purpose, but definitely something happening. Bond let's Kurama borrow Bessie once, probably in a life or death situation and the car gets wrecked and Bond has to spend like 3+ episodes repairing it. After that, he creates a keyfob that needs a passcode or some shit to turn the engine on. He's already exiled to Earth without his time-space ship. He'll be damned if he loses his car, too.
Who makes the list before they go grocery shopping?
Neither of them. They're not capable. The Doctor's assistant (shoutout to Bird) probably does the shopping and the restocking. Not that The Doctor is incapable of shopping for himself. He just doesn't ever need too. He doesn't think about things like that, and he's got no use for money. Kurama's a sugar baby 100% and needs someone to buy him groceries and I will hear no objections to this Undisputable FACT of LIFE. If not for third party intervention, they wouldn't even know where the local grocery store IS.
Who makes sure the other takes their meds when sick?
He's literally called The Doctor. He enters Kurama's office one day to share notes on a case and sees him sick on the couch and he just goes, "Oh good heavens man, didn't you take those cold pills I sent you? Good lord, where's your medicine cabinet—"
Who watches sports and has to teach the other the rules?
Do either of them watch sports? Probably Kurama. I think The Doctor knows the rules but Kurama, thinking he's teaching an alien things about Earth, probably offers to explain and The Doctor's just like. "Oh, yea?" And asks him really stupid questions just to fuck with Kurama who goes on tangents about the intricacies of the rules. Bond for sure knows how the sports are played, but feigns ignorance because he gets more enjoyment from Kurama's reactions and explanations then from the sport itself.
Who pulls the other to their feet for a dance in the living room?
Equal, but probably The Doctor. I can see them slow dancing in the living room. The Doctor leads and Kurama leans into the hold. It's very intimate, probably after something taxing or traumatic. It's a slow moment, and they bask in the silence.
Who has to keep reminding the others to hurry or they’ll be late?
Oh you're gonna tell me Mr. Timelord doesn't treat every second of every minute like it's a $100 bill? If they've got somewhere to be, he's leaving and if Kurama's not following, he's getting LEFT IN THE DUST. This is a trait shared between all Doctors. If you aren't keeping up, you're gettin' LEFT BEHIND. 
Who is the one most likely to get a tattoo with the other’s name?
Kurama gets a tramp stamp. It's just Doctor Who? Because nobody knows The Doctor's name.

35, 15 & 26 (for funsies) for branwen❓❣️
15. How does your PC feel about marriage? Weddings?
So many people in one place... they're great settings for a massacre! Outside of her murderous tendencies, she really doesn't have a concept of romantic love, and nor does she have any interest in learning. Marriage so far outside the realm of possibility for her, that it might as well have just been an idea someone made up for the sole purpose of getting a bunch of people in one room for her to enact violence upon.
35. If your PC was a dating option in a farming simulator (a la harvest moon or stardew valley), what kind of items would they like? 
She wouldn't be a dating option, she'd be like... a taxidermist or something. You could befriend her though, by giving her a Leather Bound Sketchbook, a Whetstone, and Mystery Meat.
26. How would your PC answer the trolley problem?

i just realized the first part of rrcsav and i am working on the next part but the thing is that i also had an idea for a short like one-shot(???) just a fic that’s a bit later in the season which is just for fun and added humor and it’ll take a way shorter time to write than the next part of the series (which is just gonna be the aftermath of her debut race) so would you guys want that or should i hold off and just work on the aftermath of red’s debut race?

6, 19, and 24 for the year asks :]
hi lily thank you so much ILY ❣️
6. episode of tv or webisode that defined the year for you?
oh my goodness i LOVE this question! um, i think - as much as i would love to bestow this honor on kuro i have to keep it real the most formative episode of the year was death note ep 25. that thing had me shaking and pacing and experiencing the full range of human emotion. and whats fucking crazy is that none of that was even in the source material the anime just decided to serve greek levels of tragedy and gay as all fuck jesus/judas symbolism for funsies. absolutely brain-altering. to me. also it was my pipeline into freak themes like where would i even be without good old death note necrophilia...
sigh. however. honorable mention to kuroshitsuji book of circus eps 8-9 because they made me feel SO sick. lmao. whoever watched this in middle school im so sorry i dont know how you survived that im an adult and it was still. a lot. the insane part is that one of the most blatantly sexual kuro moments is situated in the midst of all that nauseating shit but unfortunately im unhinged so instead of thinking its evil i just have mad respect for that grind. 💯
19. what are you excited about for next year?
honestly im just trying to survive the semester while fighting demons (mental illness) right now i have no idea. 😭 my only real intention for next year is that i would like to start going to anime/comics conventions again like i used to when i was younger i think it would make me happy...
24. did you keep any new years resolutions?
no because i didnt set any! 🫡 being a girl with no direction in her life is a difficult task but someone has to do it, love & light.

Hi - just wanted to ask your opinions on the new SJM book that's coming soon (Defo not on the shipping war lmao) but about ACOTAR in general because I didn't really love HOFAS and found ACOSF quite lacking in actual plot outside of the IC's relationships like I don't really remember the whole Koschei issue in that book because it was like 10% of the story. What are your thoughts about the new book/do you think it will be worth reading or will it be like ACOSF but for different characters?
Know you obvs won't actually know - just curious what other people (esp. talented writers like yourself) are thinking about where SJM is going with her writing :) xx
P.S. Also just wanted to take the chance to say that I love your writing and honestly save your updates for when I'm reading in bed because I love them so much aha
i mean its not announced yet, right?? OR IS IT AND IM JUST OBLIVIOUS 😦
lmao i had to go search around to see if she had announced the new book when you sent in this ask 😭
i mean, ive always been someone who reads for funsies, so like i have always loved all the books i read because i read to stop thinking about studies lmaoo 🤭
i know many people dont like acotar and stuff, but personally, even though it was the book that sent me into the massive book slump i still kinda am in, i love acotar with my whole heart. i dont really pay attention to the bad stuff and just read the book and focus on the good parts
i mean, its written by a human, its bound to have flaws. and i wont like a book without its flaws, im sure
anyways, to answer you question, id say personally i cant wait to read the next book. ive been dying to have more of my fav found family characters and cant wait to see where one of my fav authors takes the plot 🥹
also i guess we'll learn more about koschei in the next book (or the one after that lols)
i would read the book regardless of the characters that tell the story. i would eat it up whether its gwynriel, elucien or feysand or nessian again. i just love the books, the characters, the author. i cannot let go of that universe and i just love EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BOOK 😭
also on your point about the plot lacking outside of relationships, honestly i get it. acosf mainly felt like a book about nesta's character development and her relationships with cass and the valkyries while also setting up the plot for the next book so sjm could write the next books without having to explain the whole plot in the next book itself? IDK IF THAT MAKES SENSE 😭
so, in conclusion, i would read the books that are to come, but i would not say you MUST read it if you didnt like it in the first place 🤭
ALSO JSDHASFHADWF ILYY THANK YOUU 🥹❣️ i will update more hopefully now hehe 🤭❣️

Chopped
Part Ten of If You Can't Take the Heat
You Got a Minute? | Masterlist | To Market
Pairing: Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto x Reader
Rating: M (though it may have explicit chapters in the future)
Notes: Welcome back! I hope y’all are having a nice week!❣️ Also no worries, there’s another chapter incoming, it just doesn’t have a name yet.
Also also we will return to the land of plot next chapter. This one is just for funsies.
Warnings: Fluff! Chopped! Not beta-read.
Summary: It seems more like something Carmy might make at the shop—a panini spilling over with bright vegetables, chicken, and oozing cheese. There’s a serving of fries there as well, and you know that they’re handcut and baked.
Tumblr media
“First baskets are ready to go…Please open your first basket.”
“Babe, it’s starting,” You call out, eyes set on the television as the contestants open their baskets. “Do you want me to come help you?”
“Nah, you’re good. Turn it up!” Carmy calls back. You reach out, grabbing the remote and turning the volume up so that Carmy can hear it from your kitchen. Ted Allen’s voice rings out across your living room: 
“Green tomatoes…” 
“I’m looking at these tomatoes, and I’m just thinking uh, I hate these,” Groans one of the contestants. 
“Venison,” Ted Allen goes on. 
“Ooo,” You frown, brow furrowing. “What even is venison?” 
“Deer meat,” Carmy says, setting two plates down on the coffee table in front of you. You glance down, and do a double-take at the sight of the food there as the scent of it catches your nose. 
“Damn, babe. That looks good,” You reach out, taking your plate up. It seems more like something Carmy might make at the shop—a pannini spilling over with bright vegetables, chicken, and oozing cheese. There’s a serving of fries there as well, and you know that they’re handcut and baked. You reach out, taking your plate and leaning back in your seat, popping a fry into your mouth with a groan. When you look up again, you find that the chefs are already off and running. 
“Wait, what else did they get?” You ask. 
“Water chestnuts and wonton wrappers.” 
“No.” 
“Mhm.” 
“Those wonton wrappers are so dangerous…What would you do?” You ask, glancing at Carmy. 
“Bacon wrapped venison bite. Use the wonton as a little bowl, pan sear the venison ,” He answers without a second thought. “Throw the water chestnuts and the green tomatoes into a puree, add some shallots, garlic, some heavy cream. Give a brighter taste to the bite—cut through the salt, counter the crunch.” 
You blink at Carmy, stunned, watching as he plucks up a couple of fries and pops them into his mouth. 
“...How long did it take you to come up with that?” You ask. Carmy just shrugs nonchalantly, reaching out and taking his beer. You smile, shaking your head and resting your chin on his shoulder. 
“Fricking genius chef.” 
“Yeah, yeah.” 
“Gordon Ramsey’s got nothin’ on you.” 
“Eat your food,” Carmy presses. “It’s getting cold.” 
You can see, though, that his cheeks are pinking with flattery. You’re perfectly content to lean back and watch Chopped, but Carmy mutters to himself every now and again—between bites, after sips—completely unprompted. 
“Plating always makes me the most nervous,” You mutter as you watch the four chefs hurriedly put their food up. “Like, what if you drop something?” 
“What do you do if you drop something when you’re bartending?” Carmy asks, glancing back toward you as the four chefs line up to 
“Laugh it off in person but, like, scream on the inside.” 
“But you keep going, right?” 
“Yeah, ‘cause I have to.” 
“So do they.” 
You scoff, leaning back in your seat. “Alright—Michelin Miyagi.” 
-- 
“Oh my god, are you kidding me!” You crow as one of the contestants leaves. “That’s insane!” 
“No it is not—” 
“The other guy left off a basket ingredient!” 
“Yeah, but raw pork could kill someone.” 
You consider Carmy's argument before you slouch back, grumbling.
“For your main course, we have…”
You half-shove the remainder of your panini into your mouth as Ted Allen begins to introduce the new ingredients. 
“Swordfish…Fennel seeds…” 
You glance toward Carmy as he gives a short nod, and lets out an appreciative hum. 
“Maraschino cherries…And potato chips.” 
“Breading for the swordfish?” You pipe up. 
“Good,” Carmy nods, pointing at you without looking away from the television. “If you grilled it, that would be good. Drain and rinse the cherries, turn that into a salsa.” 
“What about the fennel seeds?”
“Add it to the swordfish. Some paprika, garlic, lemon.” 
“...Hell, I’d eat that.” 
--  
“Wow—” 
“Saw that coming,” You mutter. “You can’t just shove something into a blender with cream and call it a hummus.” 
“Amateur hour,” Carmy agrees. You watch, smiling as Carmy scooches down om the couch, resting his head on your lap. You reach down, tenderly combing your fingers through his hair as Ted Allen proclaims:
“And your dessert must feature…Granny Smith apples…Sweet vermouth…” 
“Curveball,” You mutter.
“Gingerbread…And apricot paste.” 
“Ice cream?” You ask. 
“Mm…With what?” Carmy asks, tipping his head up to look at you.
“The apricot paste and vermouth? Turn the gingerbread crumbs into a crumble…”
“And the apples?” 
“....Okay, I take it back, make a little, like…apple pie?” 
Carmy considers for a moment. 
“I’d make an apricot ice cream, use the vermouth to cook season the apples with, and use the gingerbread as a crumble.” 
“...Yeah, you know what,” You nod. “That’s the move.” 
“Uh-huh…Good jumping-off point, though.” 
“You're too kind, Berzatto.” 
Carmy huffs softly, amused. 
“...You’re pretty good at this,” He comments. 
“You’re a freaking rockstar at this, but like…Knew you would be…I'll do the dishes after this.”
"I got 'em."
"You cooked, it's only fair."  
“...We'll do 'em after the next episode.”
