#A silly little idea of mine

[sinclair-enterprises]

Arcane 3:10 To Yuma AU 1/?

Ekko kicked through the entrance to The Last Drop, the saloon doors swinging wildly as he briskly strode inside.

“Smeech!” The name reverberated in throughout the silent establishment. It was then that Ekko noticed the venue was surprisingly empty. Typically around noon there'd be at least some of the local rail workers sitting around chewing peanuts and chugging down whiskey with their spare company pay. Now, though, the saloon was devoid of any inhabitants. The slimy businessman had said he would be here. Where was he?

A quick survey of the room revealed tables and chairs set up to accommodate the Last Drop's usual clientele. Ekko noted glasses half empty left next to cheap playing cards, the latter spread out as if the players had just been there. The bar itself was also left unattended, an unthinkable occurrence given the steely professionalism drilled into the staff by the establishment's upper management.  Quite simply, the whole thing felt off. The sudden opening of a door from somewhere behind and above him immediately put him on alert, although it was only at the sound of a very familiar voice that the hair at the back of his head stood on end.

"Look a little bent, rancher."

Ekko furiously whirled around, shotgun aimed at the upper floor of the saloon from where the sultry words had been uttered.  

The sight of bright blue hair neatly kept in its usual twin braids all but confirmed the presence of the morning's unwanted interloper. Blue eyes gazed down at him from a lightly freckled face stretched out into a rather characteristic feral grin.

"You here to wake some snakes?"

It was then that movement behind her caused Ekko to refocus and notice the sheepish form of the Last Drop's current bartender in the midst of hurriedly buttoning up his shirt. Thieram, something or other. Not that Ekko had ever paid him much attention. Now the rancher noted the barkeep's disheveled appearance, so at odds with his usual carefully tailored countenance. The younger man shrank back from Ekko's scrutiny, a blush blooming on his flushed cheeks. From the corner of his eyes the rancher noticed Jinx's grin growing wider.

Ah.

"Uh, you want something to drink, sir?" the bartender asked hesitantly.

"No thanks," Ekko replied without looking at Thieram. His eyes tracked the blue-haired gunslinger as she moved to go downstairs. Her gun belt and holster were swiftly strapped on as she softly made her way down the steps, signature white bowler hat set on her head only once she'd reached eye level with him.

Ekko remained silent. His eyes hardened as Jinx sauntered towards the bar. Distantly he noted the irregular metallic clicking of her spurs hitting the hardwood floor.

"You got your horses back, didn'tcha? And your cattle?"

He backed up a couple steps, hands holding tightly to the shotgun at his waist. As if it would do him any good.

"Yeah, I got my horses back. But you killed two of my herd."

Jinx stopped within arm's reach of Ekko, leaning against the bar while she straightened out her ruffled vest. Her eyes issued a silent challenge as she unflinchingly returned his stare.

"Hell, they died for a good cause."

Her flippant remark only caused him to narrow his eyes further.

Jinx rolled her eyes and threw her head back in exasperation.

"Alright, alright. But you know, them beeves of yours... they wouldn't even have fed a hungry dog. Tell you what-" here she slid an assortment of coins at him from a white leather pouch-"that should cover it?"

Ekko continued to regard her in silence.

"How much you get for a day's work, Ekko?"

"Two dollars, when I hire out," he responded.

"Well, there's two dollars for half a day."

Two more dollar coins slid his way across the bar.

He hesitated slightly before forcing himself to pocket the money, the metal feeling unusually cool in his hands.

From the corner of his eye he noticed a shadow passing across one of the windows. The unmistakable silhouette of a Winchester flitted over the saloon's translucent curtains.

They know she's here.

He looked sharply back to Jinx, who had turned her attention to the many bottles decorating the wall. No doubt she was wondering which one to make off with. Completely oblivious. A part of Ekko tugged at him to warn her, to hide her from the crooked local sheriff and his loathsome deputies like they did for each other when they were little. But they weren't kids anymore, and she was the furthest thing from his friend. Even if the law wasn't all it was cracked up to be in Bisbee, she would still face what she deserved.

But does she deserve it?

Ekko grit his teeth.

"You took up my boy's time, too," he said harshly.

Jinx turned back to him, chewing thoughtfully on her tongue.

"You're right. I did."

The clinking of metal preceded the appearance of a further two dollar coins on the weathered bar countertop. Jinx slid them over more forcefully, eyes trained on Ekko's face the entire time. He slowly gathered up the money and pocketed it as well.

By this time Thieram had made it halfway down the steps, his nervous eyes flicking between the gunslinger and the rancher. Ekko refused to acknowledge him.

The rancher's attention was called back to Jinx as she pulled on her overcoat.

"Anything else you wanna get paid for, Ekko?" she asked bemusedly.

"Give me five dollars extra."

Jinx huffed and crossed her arms.

"And what's that for?"

"For makin' me nervous."

She shook her head tiredly and was on the point of responding when the loud cocking of a gun made her freeze.

"Hands up, outlaw."

My whole digital sketch/doddle spread of Holm. Aka me figuring out how to draw him while I am also having fun with it. He’s also my favourite minor character from dungeon Meshi. :3c He is just so adorable to me and I love this goofy 28-30 year old gnome.

"I love you."

"Huh?"

He looked up from your notebook, holding his pen, explaining the question in chemistry you didn't understand. He sat so close to you, your knees touching, making you feel like a man in the 1800s who just saw a woman's ankle.

You shook your head.

"Nothing."

He just shrugged and went back to explaining the problem to you, and you shifted your weight, resting your head in your palms.

You tapped your foot repeatedly against the table, listening to what he was explaining, before stopping him -

"Wait a second, isn't that the wrong step? You gotta restart-"

"Huh? What are you talking about- oh shit."

"See-"

"Yeah, funny story how about we both just go and ask [f/n]?"

"True. Do that, she's the smarter one."

"Smarter than you for sure."

"No, you're the most idiotic one out of all of us, shut up-"

"No can do-"

You two bickered back and forth until the class ended, never getting to ask [f/n].

Moments like these were what made you fall harder.

"I love you."

He didn't even hear you this time. Of course he didn't, how would he? He was in the hall, talking to some other friends of his. You're not his only friend, you shouldn't be so selfish-

"Did you say something? Sorry, I was submitting this assignment."

The same friend mentioned before, [f/n] sat next to you in class. She was adamant that you had a thing for the guy, despite your multiple attempts to deny it. No way in absolute hell would you admit that you had a flimsy, silly, teensy little crush on him. No way.

"Nah, you can go back to that."

"I have a better idea, did you hear what happened this morning to-"

And she told you about some events that occurred in the morning, as if she were your personal newsletter. For free of course. She was the nerdy type, but had many friends and always knew what was up with the school, and of course she had to fill you in. You listened to her tell you about random fights, break ups, make ups, and people being stupid in general, enjoying the time you spend with your friend.

Sometimes a distraction is good right? Sometimes.

"I love you."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"No no no no- what? Repeat that."

"Dude, I said nothing-"

"Nuh uh, you keep mumbling random shit and won't tell me what it is bruh, spit it out."

"The hell you mean 'nuh uh'? Buddy you don't need to peek into everything I say, you see, im a verbal thinker hArDy hAr hAr-"

"..."

"..."

"....for the love of god never do that again."

"....yeah."

Akward silence engulfed you two. The teacher walked in after a few seconds, immediately starting the class.

Recovering from the past embarrassment, you whispered jokes to each other, poked each other with your pens, copied each other's notes when you couldn't finish writing them in time, and got caught laughing too much for a joke, but hey.

At least he didn't hear you mumble another soft, barely audible, "I love you."

"Do you have the answers for math?" "I thought you did." "..." "..." "Ok- ok well I did half at home, I'll just do the other half now-" "Hold up- which half did you do?" "The first, why?" "Goddammit, I did the first too." "We're screwed?" "We're screwed."

Your intertwined opposites au was so good i can't believe it exists.

it felt like i was witnessing something beyond mortal comprehension. the human mind too feeble to something too good. and the fact that it's true

oh and it made me feel feelings to something i didn't know could make me feel so much,

actually the feeling was so powerful i took the time to comprehend that this was made by a person. human of flesh and blood. and not from like a celestial or something

(summary: ure soo soso cool /gen)

also i think Shadow Milk kind of looks like vivid dancer(agria vivida) :]

AWWWW TYSM ANONN

I'm constantly reviewing my plotlines/character dynamics and it really really makes me so happy to know y'all like my stuff♡♡

Ik I don't respond to support often but it genuinely means so so much waughhhh y'all are way too nice!!!

(And as a sidenote, you make a good point. Shilk does really look like a Vivid Dancer. I'll note that down for eventual use/silly)

[lavernius]

My self-indulgent doodles...check out my OCs who are Lopez's lieutenants (Brown Team) + are only half as rude as he is.

[frenchfry99]

💥💥

Behold the most terrifying mobster-

Some scribbles below

(Her existence in this au is 99% a joke)

Lilly dislikes being called Lillian, seeing it as boring and too serious, but is still sometimes called that by her father and oftenly by other mobsters

Same as her original version she loves animals, but can get her paws on more obscure or dangerous ones-

I'd say Lilly is pretty much fearless,to some comedical levels,which gets her in trouble quite often -

(Despite being little there's not much people in the mob who can handle her overly energetic and stubborn personality, but there are still few exceptions)

Literally fighting my demons to let myself post dumb doodles and not only finished pieces-

Just realized I always forget to add the clown nose on her human ver lol

Also og Lilly doesn't know what a dad is but in this au she has two smh (this ver is from mob au where Wally is not the boss). How did she get into the mob? Well it all started whe-💥💥💥💥

[itty-bitty-sunshine]

I know this is random but reading your blog and seeing your art made me so motivated I made my 1st animation ever (not counting pixel art ones), after not drawing digitally in months and it looks kinda basic and it isn't colored but I made it and I'm really happy with it so I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for motivating me to make digital art again! I hope you have a wonderful day/night :)

MKJSJWJW HI!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME THATS GREAT!!! Animatics need time and patience so the fact you went straight for it is so cool!!!! I bet it looks lovely!

Hope you have the greatest day/night too!

ok so now I'm thinking about clown Texas Chainsaw Massacre....

I always already saw Chop Top as a silly rodeo clown - during the very end of the radio station scene especially he puts on L.G.'s cowboy hat and scurries off, honking his bike horn. CLOWN BEHAVIOR

Bubba is the big comedy clown with like pants way too big, wearing suspenders to keep them up. to make fun of the fact he's already so damn large, and he's somehow wearing even bigger clothes. he wears a painted mask. very clumsy. and obviously quiet, so pantomiming. (basically what he does anyway)

So, Drayton is just a grumpy clown, but if I had to visualize his style, I might go for the "hobo clown" archetype? Not that i think he specifically fits that bc he's not the type to be a "tramp", but I see the suit outfit and his demeanor fitting the performance style. could maybe see the fact that he's a salesman playing a part there at least too.

Nubbins is the jokester. He's intentionally playing pranks on Drayton or getting Bubba into trouble, and he has a good laugh. Chop Top also falls into this role, but he's more cowboy than his brother.

The family members easily work off of each other - they already annoy each other or are stupid. like cmon it's SO cartoonish and clowny that Drayton just fuckin kicks Bubba in the butt already in tcm 2. That is like.... peak.

so it's easy to imagine like, uh oh whoops Nubbins tricks Bubba into accidentally pie-ing Drayton in the face and now mister grumpy clown is gonna initiate some slapstick, but Chop Top's being a little shit and tattles while laughing and now the twins are both in for it.

... It's all a very less abusive way of seeing their dynamics and I think that's much nicer lol.

I guess they'd still eat people tho, like they aren't all nice. But hey.
