question for any mcdonald’s employees. when someone orders 24 nuggets, do you individually count each one?

or is it, “this feels like 24 nuggets.”

Do you have any tips on drawing the Swatchlings?

frankly i am happy that i have gotten good enough at drawing these bird boys (gender neutral) that someone wants my opinions. anyway

i see a lot of fun ways to draw swatchlings tbh and i don't really know what you want tips on Specifically so i will just make notes on a few of the main things i think about when i draw them, most importantly: just make them bitches broad and fluffy, man. they're all canonically Ripped, but an important thing to remember is that they are likely completely covered in feathers! that's going to smooth out those muscular details, so you wont be able to see them, just the broadness of them.

my style is all based in gesture and shapes, so i use a lot of blocks so they look nice 'n sturdy. it's okay if you don't nail the anatomy on the sketch, i am constantly nudging things around all the way into the coloring phase trying to get the shapes right. frankly i would probably bulk out even this Example Bird if i were drawing them all the way. i usually add more fluff or muscle or chub or whatever when i detail them but the absolute bare bones of them is dedicated to blockie

i give mine these sort of vestigial wings on their arms to make them look softer, and i think about how feathers move and stick out on real birds to help inform how they'll sit on these birds, too. and i carry the soft, pointed feather shapes into the fingers so they also look soft.

tip for drawing Soft: don't get caught up making too many individual strands or feathers, soft things tend to come together in big tufts. you want big gentle shapes, not a bunch of little ones. unless you want your bird to look wet or scared in which case you're doing a great job and you've probably just drawn spamton instead

their faces are really tricky so i think of them as these kinda... non-euclidean semi-hollow pentagonal cones. there's five "planes" with the top two dedicated to eyes and the bottom three dedicated to mouth placement. sometimes you can see the far eye even though, in real life, you would not be able to see that "plane" of their face. you don't always have to understand things sometimes they just look cool, especially when characters are cybernetic birds made out of Magical Darkness. there is no rule about when to draw one or two eyes. it's just whatever looks better.

biggest and bestest tip of all about drawing swatchlings! very important! write this one down in your most favorite gel pen and Really Big! give them either tails, or tail coats. i don't care that canon has neither, canon is wrong. you can switch it out, even - my birds have tail coats as part of their standard uniforms but they can wear their real tails out on special occasions.

lastly, if you want to stick closer to a canon interpretation, i would not try to make the birds too unique, when they're on the job anyway - they like being coordinated! tasque manager is very particular about keeping them coordinated as well. but if you just want to have fun then you can make your birds as fun and unique as you want :) even though i draw them all about the same i personally love love love seeing super funky swatchling designs, making them different colors and species and such.

course summary:

make them Large. make them Fluffy. use really broad, blocky shapes and draw big, thick tufts of feathers instead of trying to detail them too much.

their heads are silly magic nonsense. draw a triangle and get funky with it. no rules, only vibes. if it vibes it stays

they always need some kind of tail or tail equivalent and i don't care what Anybody else says

if you want to follow canon, draw all the birds except swatch just about the same. if you're just here for a good time, throw that out completely and have fun with it.

I think headcanoning canonically male characters as trans women can allow you to explore identity beyond just switching the anatomy of canonically female characters. Like often when male chara gets headcanoned as transmasc people just slap scars on him and done. If you basically genderspaw a character you can focus on their experience with transition more I think

Unfortunately half of the time people go "long hair = woman" instead... I'm sorry hajime

oh 100%, undeniably there r great ways 2 explore both kinds of genderswaps/trans hcs... neither is superior or more correct over the other, but i do think it still helps 2 keep in mind it can, in *some* hands, turn somewat shallow...

immediately makin it abt enstars since dats wat we r mostly into: 2 me it still becomes mehhh when ppl will do eveyrthin in their power 2 transfemify like 3-4 specific characters who r the most aesthetically (as in, appearance n physical expression i guess) feminine while not really givin a shit abt the canonically trans woman (who is not quite the most 'traditionally feminine' image of woman herself tbh). <- m not very good at explainin things but i hope im clear. it's just interestin seein both the bias compared 2 canon rep AS WELL as the bias compared 2 like. the rest of the cast dats not shu hiyori etc

as always ppl r entitled 2 do as they wish w interpretations n all dat! i'm not one 2 give ppl shit ab stuff like this in person or rly like discourse ab this very often

i also see wat ya mean w the transition thing, but i don't think that's necessarily 'the only way', ya can focus on the transition part of the headcanon regardless of canon gender (unless im missin smth in yr words?); i guess with [canon X -> trans X] it has 2 b more of a conscious choice 2 go back in time 2 explore it, whereas with [canon X -> trans Y] it's kind of the startin point, yr gettin rite into it? i understan how dats more compellin 2 ppl, especially if they r in (pre-) transition still <3 i do think it's really up 2 ppls preference at the end of the day! it's nawt some huge political difference, just the way ppl play w the characters n narratives

@waxgentleman asked:

He usually pays more attention when dealing with tea, sadly not this time—spilling them over at the back of the young man as he stumbled on a rock. " GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! SOOORY!!!! GAA NEEEEEE" (I read ya about!!! but i don't know much bout that anime xO uhhhh. Hope it's alright?)

----

This strange world he found himself, it seemed to be a world of pirates. Though it lacked a lot of technology from what he was used to. As he was standing to the side, his back turned to the crowd, he suddenly felt something spill all over his back, hot and wet...

Slowly the man turned around to face the stranger who just dared spilled tea all over his coat.

"I don't know what's worse.. you getting tea all over my coat, or wasting a cup of tea," the man growled, glaring at the man who did it. "Words of apologies mean nothing to me... You must pay with your life..." A bit of a stretch? Yeah.. But that's Akutagawa for you...

OUGH issun being weirdly silent as oki’s talking about how he senses an unbreakable bond between shiranui and ishaku. ough. because he knows that he’s supposed to live up to that with ammy too he KNOWS it’s his destiny to be a celestial envoy he KNOWS he knows that what he’s doing with ammy right here and now accompanying her on her travels is fulfilling that exact destiny and he doesn’t want to admit it hhhhhhhhh

and then a short while later after this he refuses to go to the endgame with you like he just abruptly cuts it off like well i got what i said i was coming for! i never cared about you or anyone i just wanted to see the brush techniques nothing more! goodbye! he’s in denial he’s in denial so hard there of the bond that he knows they already share. he doesn’t want to admit he cares about ammy and that he knows it’s his destiny to follow her because he’s still scared and selfish and confused in his life he wants to feel in control of his own fate so he pushes aside his own feelings to try to act like nothing in him has changed at all hhhh

@solmxri - starter for Jasper.

It didn't really feel. . . natural. Perhaps it was due to her lack of experience, but she didn't understand why some people preferred the interplay of pain & pleasure. Though Jasper did mention she was 'vanilla' in terms of intimacy, the abundance of terms in this realm remained puzzling to her. ❛ Hey, Jasper. ❜ Luna lightly tapped his shoulder, chagrin dusting on her features, feeling ashamed. ❛ What's an impact cane for? ❜ She held it in her left hand, waving it around curiously. ❛ I mean, it says it is a cane, but it's like... wobbly? Kinda odd. ❜ Examining it closely, it resembled one of her mother's fencing swords, or, well, a 'sabre'. She gestured with her left arm, pretending as if she had been stabbing someone. ❛ Maybe you use it for stabbing people? Maybe poking them? Though that wouldn't be painful would it? ❜

tell me about your specialest boys (gn) !!

okay so i am going to ASSUME u r referencing my original works post? if not, and i am interpreting this completely wrong , please forgive me as i am awful at Understanding things. also it is late at night and i am horrendously sleep deprived but anyway. i am going to interpret specialest boys as talking about my beloved made up tumblr mlm ship , winnett

otherwise known as the ship between my 1895 ocs henry windell and jack bennett. and ohoho boy are they GAY AS HELL

henry, i think, has known he's gay for a while as he's 16 years old and knows he has no interest in women. but he has also been very isolated all his life - living far away from town and only really interacting with his siblings - so when he meets jack, he's so under socialized and out of touch that jack uses it as an opportunity to tease him. which henry hates, of course, because he's uptight and gay and stupid and reserved and hates showing emotion.

jack doesn't know he likes boys until he meets henry, i don't think. i can also see him being bisexual (again, i have not fleshed out these characters as much as i should so. bear with me here) and he definitely doesn't fall in love with henry until later into their friendship. and of course, he's scared at first. rightfully so. but he is DOWN BAD for henry. like. in the trenches fighting for his life down bad.

in this scenario, i can definitely see it as a "henry fell first, jack fell harder" type of situation. also yes. i am aware this is a very trope-y ship, but i love gay romance tropes okay. they r so special to me.

anyway. jack is very Special to me he is just a little trickster and he's smart but also sosososo dumb and like. henry is kind of just There like What The Fuck Is This Boy Doing. right. and jack is always trying to make him laugh and smile and they become besties for the resties because. jack is like, the first real friend henry has ever had!!!! and also his first love but that comes later

anyway. mira (woman that married henry's father, also the main character of the story) finds out about henry and jack's relationship eventually. and while she is definitely confused, she is also supportive - because , when i was conceptualizing her character, i wanted her to be strong and smart and VERY open minded for the time, which is what the windell kids really really needed considering they were dealing with a fucking SIREN BABY. so, while she doesn't completely understand henry's attraction to boys, she accepts him for it, because she considers him her son and she loves him. it brings them closer.

okay im SO sorry for infodumping on u and if i totally misinterpreted this ask i am SO SORRY also if. this makes absolutely 0 sense i answered other asks about this specific original work but i can't link the other asks rn . but they are on the blog if u want to check them out so this isn't totally out of context lmao :)
