ENOUGH i cast WOBBLY on YOU

[egophiliac]

Are you okay with spam likes/reblogs or do you find them annoying?

honestly, seeing a solid row of likes/reblogs from the same person makes me imagine them going through my art like it's some kind of delectable buffet, holding a giant plate and going "hmm, yes, a little of this...some of that...ooh, and can't forget this..." except, you know, on the internet. with the feeling of that one Tom Hanks gif.

(which is to say, of course it's fine! if it starts taking over my activity page I just use the filters, so no worries :D)

*slams open door*

I SAW THE RECENT ASK AND I'M LIKE,, what if reader never mentions about the letters/notes but keeps them... Pantalone thinks you don't like them and he finds it a bit sad :((( so one day he leaves a note and he's outside watching what you'd do... N he sees that u DO read it but with a huge frown and furrowed brows, then keep it somewhere safe.... N he brings it up bc he don't like giving u stuff that you don't like.. Only to find out you're soooo embarrassed to bring it up bc you can't read it since his curvise is so intricate... 😭😭😭 but yk it's out of love so u keep them close to ur heart!!!

JFJFBDKD SO STUPID BUT I THINK IT'S SOOO FUNNY... Rare pantalone cameo ft. Kaiser

NOOO I LOVE THIS SM 😭😭❤️ awww this is so cute and silly... reader trying their best to decipher his cursive but failing, yet still they treasure this letter from him of course!! You may not know what he's saying but you do know that it's probably lots of stuff relating to how much he loves you <3 But like,, not only do you not speak about his little love letters, but when he randomly asks you about something he mentioned in his letters, you don't know what he's talking about?? So now Pantalone thinks you're not reading his notes :(( Did he do something to upset you? Are you mad? But no, that can't be the reason because you're still showering him with lots of kisses and hugs like normal! Of course, being the inquisitive man he is, he's going to get to the bottom of this! And when he sees you, squinting real hard at his lil note for literal minutes before tucking it away safely he's just confused now? So he just comes flat out and asks you in the middle of dinner and you nearly choke because damn you weren't ready to expose yourself like that yet 😓 But oh. When you finally come clean that you can't read his intricate cursive, he laughs. Pantalone laughs so hard because you are so, so, cute.

I imagine he forces you to take out the box where you keep all his letters, and you sit on his lap while he makes you read his sentences out loud, at least, what you can understand - "My beloved [Name], today i, um... something something something, i bought you- er, yeah i don't know what that says-" Pantalone is trying not to laugh behind you and you just want to punch him because this is NOT funny!! You're struggling out here!! He ends up reading all of them to you and showing you how to read his cursive better 🥺 i cant who allowed him to be so sweet

HEY GUYS CHAPTER DAY hey anyway did u know about the shen. shinkirou. mirage clam dragon creature. this is one of those things i assumed everyone knew about bc im so in love with it and i think about it all the time

it's so many concepts that appeal to me. a little unassuming creature. the idea of mirages being the dreams of a creature at the bottom of the sea. the nebulousness of the concept of a "dragon". mirages and illusions in general

anyway this is all preamble to show u my son Mirage

(cowboy because he was for a wild west themed minecraft rp server lmao. but also have u considered: cowboy dragon hot?)

im not a writer so i dont have a lot of plot or lore for him or anything but he IS entirely based off the concept of "deserts have mirages. oceans have mirages. the desert conjures up a mirage of the ocean"

anyway yeah i really love this clam thing. one of my favorite creatures ever

Brujay brusteph jaysteph(?)

They both have massive daddy issues, died as Robin and somehow Jason can't tell which makes him angrier, that Bruce never avenged either of them or that there is no memorial for Steph.

Let them kiss angry about it ❤️

YES YOU GET IT, JAYSTEPH PROPAGANDA HOURS

i've always had big feelings about Jason and Steph's feelings about each other and how i always wish we got a bigger canon reaction out of Jason toward Steph's death instead of it being basically glossed over. especially because of how recently Steph died compared to Jason's return. i think it's fun if Jason actually doesn't know Steph existed for a while until he's fighting Tim and he says the wrong thing about dead Robins and Tim, who's struggling to mourn Steph says something very feral and mean about Jason disrespecting Steph's memory.

like, Black Mask is often associated as a Red Hood rogue and he "killed" Steph, so why isn't Jason mad about that? why isn't he going after Mask bc of that? it'd be so good. especially if Roman, not knowing Jason was Robin, tries to brag to jason about having killed a Robin and it makes Jason's blood turn cold bc how did he miss that fact.

and adding BruJay and BruSteph is. so good i wish there was more BruSteph in this fandom. when Jason confronts Bruce and he *demands* to know if Bruce had a *thing* with her too. honestly? sort of fun if by a cruel twist of fate, Bruce only slept with Jason and Steph, not Tim or Dick. like maybe he had feelings for Dick that never got actualized and maybe Tim avoided it, but Steph wanted to prove herself to Bruce and had her own weird feelings about Batman and Jason was just so full of hero worship. so Bruce lives with the guilt the two Robins he slept with are the dead ones, and maybe that's a curse on it's own. and now Jason is old enough to know what he had with Bruce was sort of fucked up (even if he still craves it) and it's fucked up even more than Bruce *did it again*. another kid's life ended just to be Bruce's other half.

and when Steph comes back to Gotham and becomes Batgirl (something Bruce disapproves of) i think it's fun if Jason goes to check her out. bc now he has *more* in common with her. two Robins who defied death. maybe he's just curious about her, maybe he wants to get back at Bruce, maybe it's both. but Steph is back and just as angry as Jason that she has no memorial and somehow, Jason is the only one who gets her anger. sure Tim understands her anger and is angry on her behalf, but Jason *gets* it. somehow Steph is sitting on rooftops, venting to him when she knows she shouldn't trust him. she knows she shouldn't *be like* him. but she sort of wants to get back at Bruce too and well. Jason is handsome and funny and has tortured Black Mask just to avenge her and so just once. Steph lets herself have this selfish thing.

Steph does send Bruce a picture of herself in bed with Jason just to fuck with him. Bruce predictably loses it. it's a win-win for Steph and Jason, to have each other and get back at Bruce. and eventually, they both cave to Bruce and there's BruJaySteph as god intended <3

Timeswap!Vettonso(I blame @ayceeofspades for this)

Thoughts:

References HEHEHEHE:

So the dynamics would be: STR!Seb x Aston!Fernando and Post-Retirement!Seb x Ferarri!Fernando(~2011-2012)

The former would be a Seb who is very hungry for Fernando's attention, but now he's with a Fernando is actually now very willing to give him that attention. Fernando is constantly repeating in his head: "Don't fuck the twink don't fuck the twink don't fuck the twink", but every time they end up on the podium together, Seb always ends up being all over him and "accidentally" groping him. So Seb is still a brat but is with a Fernando who's not gonna just be cold to him but will indulge him instead 🤭

The latter is more angsty AAAHHH!! Cause its a Fernando who is in Ferrari hell and Seb who is post-catharsis. And to quote C, Fernando is like "why are you so happy??? Did you win!?" and Seb responds: "no :)" But also I am not immune to Seb being coy and playing with Fernando. He now understands why Fernando was the way he was back then because he's now gone through the same thing with Ferrari, but also wants him to stop being so gloomy and angsty about it.

Don't ask about how these AUs work, just know that they have knowledge of what their original counterparts were like so it's weird for the younger versions to get to see what ends up happening to the other, and then allows the olders to gain a new perspective instead of their biased memories(i.e.: "you're not who I was villainizing you as in my head" = both of them realize that they were building the other up as such an antagonist in their head but then, oh, he's just like me fr)(but for younger Seb, Fernando realizes Seb just wanted to be friends :( and so now he's trying to be more of a mentor.)

I have some angsty headcanons about Vox. These are relating to his insecurity, mainly.

First of all, I like to imagine he's EXTREMELY clingy, especially to someone who's actually nice to him. But not in an overt way, no—he would never admit it, neither to you nor to himself, but he's deeply, deeply insecure. And so he tracks you around, borderline stalks you everywhere you go, burying it in his head and reinforcing an idea that he's an important part of your life, whether you talk often or not. He's desperate to hold on to any part of you that he can.

Any hint of validation you give to him is taken in ten-fold, and then doubled up against himself later, because, as many times as you say you enjoy his company, he's still going to think you're lying. And so, while you're calmly going about, (somewhat) enjoying your afterlife, he's watching you through the many cameras he has around the ring, snarling to himself any time someone interacts with you. But then, at the end of the day, he lays down to try to rest, and his mind is filled with contrasting thoughts - by all means, he's one of the most powerful overlords in Hell! He could order you to speak to him more! Of course you care about him!

...But... Do you? How could someone like you care about someone like him? And of course he's paranoid, too, wondering if all of this is some big ploy, some attempt to strip him of his power. And so, the next time he looks you in the eyes, he sees a hint of malice—malice that isn't actually there.

I also imagine that Vox would struggle with that with you, regardless. On one hand, it would seem easy to him on the surface, wouldn't it? But he's practiced his ability to feign confidence for decades at this point. He matches your energy perfectly, almost too perfectly, because he knows that the second he slips up and looks away from your eyes, it'll all come crashing down. Internally, he's fighting a battle not to glance aside just to get some relief from the pressure of your attention all on him.

And if you get angry at him, well... this struggle goes up tenfold. Vox deals with fear using anger—you confront him for something he did that both of you know is true, deep down, but he fights it tooth and claw, fully convinced that an argument is supposed to be won, not resolved. His composure slips more and more every second, in a desperate attempt to convince you that you're wrong, but soon you slip from his grasp as well.

He doesn't know how to cope with that. He spends all night at his screens, rage and despair brewing behind the monitor, watching as you spend time with other people, not him. He's desperate, desperate for you to come back and tell him that you love him, but you don't come back. He's hurt you, and now you're gone.

He knows it's his fault, but to others, he pretends it was you all along. He exaggerates how you spoke to him, playing you up as a bad person... but can't defend himself when someone disagrees. And so, on comes the self-destructive cycle again, Vox tearing himself down just as much as he does others, hoping that someday, you'll come back again to fill that empty hole in his heart so that he doesn't have to.

its funny, i dont think i have much to say on these! my brain fog has been particularly persistent lately, though i suppose i should just wait for it to pass...

i always want to lean into spooky or gory territory when it comes to Rainy, but i always get embarrassed, ( i may be cringe but i am free!!!) (but ahhh, sometimes i feel not so free...) (i always feel it may be edgy, but in a bad way...)

(cw: guts!)

"honey im home" is such a good song, im surprised i forgot about it! and this brush! i love it! your brain fills in the blanks for me!

i fear i may have grown obsessed with my own oc... bahhh, it wouldn't be the first time... (pensive)

What if I made Vincent and Porter kiss? Huh? What then?

[u3pxx]

I'm a big fan of your drawings, especially your drawing process!

Question, what brushes do you use to make your backgrounds more dynamic? And any recommendations on how to implement backgrounds?

ahhh thank you! on implementing backgrounds, the way i do it is that i usually thumbnail before starting on what would be the final drawing. here's some thumbnail vs final drawing stuff lol

they dont have to be the most polished but they should give you an idea on what you want the final drawing to look like! though, sometimes, i don't thumbnail (WHICH U SHOULD THUMBNAIL, IT MAKES THE PROCESS SM EASIER BC U ALREADY HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU WANT THE FINAL PRODUCT TO LOOK LIKE) --

BUT!! when i don't thumbnail, i do use references that have a similar perspective on what i want to draw and go from there. i also add some extra stuff to it to give some personality and atmosphere to the background i want to draw (i wanted to draw an overgrown and abandoned building so i added tons of plants everywhere! which is my favorite thing to do lol)

i'm extremelyyy inspired by how steven universe's backgrounds look, so i implement some things I've observed from them! namely, how the lineart of things offset with the object itself, i like to do it a lot with plants bc i feel like it adds pizazz

also, something i try to do with every drawing with a background is to make use of a foreground element that would lead the eye of the viewer to the main focus of the drawing (which is usually the character) having some moving parts to your bg whether that be leaves, petals, curtains or whatever add some dynamism to bgs i feel

and uhhh another piece of advice that i heard that i thought was pretty useful to me is to treat designing backgrounds like you're designing a character! is this place neat or messy? brand new or ancient? what kind of person/people hang around here and what kind of stuff do they leave here?

also, if fullass bgs are difficult for you to draw, sometimes you don't even have to draw the whole thing! you can just give the suggestion of a background via some props and scene elements! put that background in a box for all i care!

(also if you're struggling to draw props, 3d models are your best friend)

ok onto the brushes LOL it depends on the background really bc when i draw rooms or buildings, i just use my regular brushes for that since i just line and ink them like i do with characters.

when it comes to backgrounds set in nature, however, i tend to go a lot more free/abstract with it so here are the brushes i usually use! they're also pretty helpful for painting, i just try to achieve a lot of texture with em

Custom Brush (i use this one for the leaves i gave in my examples!)

Stamp Table Pen Set スタンプ台の線画

Flat_Dirty_Archv

Rake Brush

Oil Brush

Thickpaint Superflat

MB_Wood

Smoke Brush (used this on that abandoned building drawing and could lady, it's really fun for like fog and mist too)

anddd that's it, i think! hopefully these are helpful!!!

[revenantghost]

Man! I feel bad about being not as present for bookclub as I was last year, and also about how behind on messaging/responding to peeps between migraines and health stuff I am, but the community here and support and kindness has been amazing even as I feel like I'm letting everyone down, and I've just gotta say:

Thank you <3

I know in your Red Knight AU, Jason when on the rampage in another realm, after finding out that Batman replace him with another Robin.

Did Danny manage to be there for him during that time?

He did! Danny was always there for Jason. He actually wanted to chase after Jason immediately, but luckily, the first thing he did was panic call Jazz, absolutely out of his mind. Jazz promptly told Danny to let Jason have some space for a little bit to process.

Which was for the best, really. Jason needed to not feel like he was trapped and that he could be angry. He never really got that before. But the most important thing is Danny came after him and brought him home. Jason needed to feel like he could be angry, but also, like his anger wouldn't mean he'd be punished or abandoned. It was a very delicate time for him, but Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, and all our favorite ghosts made sure Jason knew he was very much wanted still. And that he was utterly irreplaceable.

Skulker handled this by breaking all of his weapons and suits overnight and saying he didn't know how to fix them. (Jason very much knew what he was doing, but the time spent on fixing things helped ground him)

Ember handled this by announcing that she couldn't possibly ever sing ever again unless her only other band member was there (Still very obvious, but music time with Ember usually devolved into very necessary crying time. A lot of ice cream was consumed)

Johnny and Kitty handled this by getting into a MASSIVE fight and refusing to speak to each other unless Jason mediated. (This actually was far less obvious, as the two tend to get into fights often. No one is actually certain if the fight was fake or not to this day, but they also haven't broken up once since and Jason is incredibly proud of that)

Fright Knight handled this by.... well, actually, he took the blunt approach and told Jason there was no one in any realm dead or alive he'd ever consider worthy to be his apprentice besides Jason. (This was highly effective as Frighty has always been bluntly honest with Jason. He didn't wholly believe it but it was a comfort. Frighty then beat his ass in a spar and he didn't think of much else)

Basically, everyone was there for Jason. Not just Danny. Jason was made to feel like his anger and hurt were valid, because they were. But he was also not just told, but shown how precious he was to every life he touched. He didn't get it, not at first and he struggled to really believe it.

It wasn't until later, after Danny opened up more about his own trauma and the effects it had on him that Jason actually began to somewhat understand more of what Jazz meant when she said Danny was getting better. He pieced more of the story together from the others to paint a better picture, and that's when it clicked for him. As much as he needed Danny, Danny had needed him just as much. (Clockwork may have had a hand in this as well, but whatever those two talked about, no one will ever know)

Also, as an aside, once everything calmed down, Danny was very pleased to learn the rebelling realm was now back under control and quite terrified of the Ghost King and his Knight. It saved him so much paperwork.

So yeah, this was a bit all over the place, but hopefully, it answers your question. Team Phantom and the ghosts are basically a very large family, and they might fight and bicker, but they seriously pull through and muster together if anyone is hurting. They're a bit clumsy sometimes with it, but the love they all feel is very obvious. I really, really wanted to give Jason a much more healthy origin story into becoming Red Hood than he got in canon. The poor boy went through enough. It was past time for him to get to heal.

Jason still has some hangups. His abandonment issues are still there, and his fear of rejection. But it's not as bad as it was, and because he'd been allowed to express his anger without being punished(or enabled, anger is a fine emotion to feel. But you should never let it consume you) for it, he figured out how to manage it.

He might still slip now, and then, he has trauma, and that won't go away. But Danny will never, ever let him fall. Neither will the rest of the weird little eclectic family they've built.

just thought about tweek in overalls what a revolutionary concept
