#Fine Tuned

[short-honey-badger]

Hello my loves!

I would like to introduce you to a new work that myself and my lovely babe @goth-mami-writer have started. Hazbin Hotel has taken both of us by storm, and so this has been born. Enjoy a little sneek peek of our collaboration.

Link to chapter 1 here ->

Fine Tuned

You raise your hand and knock on the door and only have to wait but a second before a cheerful face appears, and you are subjugated to the sunshine that is Charlie Morningstar.

“HI! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel! Are you here to join us in the fight for redemption and rehabilitation?”

You can't help but grin in the face of her good cheer but ultimately burst her bubble.

“Ah, no. I'm actually here to see Alastor? The Radio Demon.”

You aren't expecting to see a dark shadow appear behind Charlie, and it soon materializes into the dashing figure of the man you came here to see. He looks beautiful, even with his sharp, dangerous grin aimed right at you. He bends at the waist, his lanky build looming and making you feel tiny, and croons in a voice that makes you weak in the knees.

“Well, well. If it isn't the songbird I've been listening to all week. What has little Ole me done to warrant your attention, Dear One?”

@short-honey-badger

Chapter 2 of Mera and I's collab Alastor/Reader fic "Fine Tuned" is coming soon to Ao3! Check out a snippet below for a sneak peek!

(Thank you so much for all the kudos already!!)

《“Well, he owns my soul-” You mentioned shrugging demurely, but Alastor chuckled with head tilting back in a loud roar of joy. His shoulders bounced into the rhythm of his laughter, and he said after a sigh,

“Oh, my. What fun. Don't tell me that's what's holding you back? A soul, my lovely, is worth ten a penny. That voice of yours, however…..is worth something a thousand souls could never equate. Take it as a compliment if you'd like. But I'm saying that you have more weight in this fight than you think. Remember that.”

You felt your face grow hot, and Alastor smiled in delight to your fluster, now reeling back from his praise, and you nodded, knowing inside that he was telling the truth. You were a gifted performer, and that was something Franky could never take from you.

Contract or not.

“I appreciate your kindness. I didn't expect it.”

“Not too many do.” Alastor replied before checking his watch with another wide smile 》

Telling the Twins Apart

Floyd and Jade

Floyd’s ceremonial robes has a voice line where he pretends to be Jade, then asks if you got fooled. Imagine this becomes a recurring thing, but both twins get in on the joke. You know how kids sneak up behind someone, put their hands over the target’s eyes, and go “guess who?”

They play this with you. Sometimes, they pretend to be each other. Other times, they act like themselves to throw you off. Unfortunately for the two of them, you’re too good at differentiating them.

The first time, Floyd only did the voice, and you said the timbre was off. He practiced for a week and tried again right before class. This time, he sounded exactly like Jade. You told him his bare hands gave him away—Jade wears gloves with his school uniform. The third time, you heard his footsteps approaching. Jade wouldn’t run in the halls.

Jade picked up the game a little later than Floyd. He prepared more for his first attempt; he practiced Floyd’s nasally voice and lilting cadence, ran instead of walked, and even took his gloves off. After some contemplation, you said you could feel slight calluses on his right hand. Floyd is left-handed. Another time, he had gotten so good that you had to cheat a bit. You raised both hands behind you and brushed your fingers past his face on either side. He thought you were feeling for his long strands of dark hair. No worries, he already prepared for this. He flipped his hairstyle before approaching. But no, when he moved his head to accommodate you, you heard the jingle of his earring on his left.

Your game causes confusion for other students. Riddle ran into one of the twins right after they tried tricking you. Gloves on, a properly buttoned uniform, brushed hair, the dark lock of hair forming a J from his perspective. Relief washed over him briefly. It’s Jade, the more sensible twin.

Unfortunately, it was Floyd, and he was chased around the courtyard for ten minutes.

So a month ago I got slammed into a whole ‘nother rabbit hole…

I’m rarin’ to go! Been thinking of these fools for DAYS, had to attempt to draw them eventually! And of course I had to compare one of Zé and Donald’s moments to Baffy’s, them’s the rules.

Anyways!!! This December, I’m gonna aim to absorb more content of these three gay cabs from the comics. ‘ready watched Legend, and their classic films (though I’ll keep rewatching them). Ducktales 2017 is taking some time to finish so… *shrugs

Also also, if y’all got good songs that sound like the classic films, pls give recommendations!!!

[thedeathdeelers]

hi don’t rewatch episode 1 cause you’ll notice all these details and reactions and lose your mind a little

1. sunjae’s face when he sings sudden shower

1.2 sunjae’s face and just general demeanour when he’s backstage walking back to the changing rooms after having sung a song about the girl who’s haunted his every dream and thought for the last 15 years

2. the way he does the exact same thing at the bridge that sol did when they first met - by leaning the umbrella forward so it covers her more than it does him

3. the way he places the heat pack on her hands — it’s so tender i want to jump out a window. he lingers there before pulling his hand away and it’s so soft and it’s SO MUCH (also his one hand covers like both of hers then some like damn my man)

4. his dumb smile when she says she’s been his fan for 10 years/since his debut

5. his face when she thanks him- him being taken aback because the last time he heard her say anything to him was shouting at him for saving her and blaming him for everything — and now here she is thanking him. for everything — words he probably never thought he’d hear coming from her

6. the disappointment and longing in his eyes when he realises his time with her was up — that her friend was going to take her home and he wouldn’t get that extra time with her anymore

7. AND THEN THÉ FREAKING CANDY SHE GAVE HIM. JUST LIKE SHE DID 15 YEARS AGO. his face 😭 he’s so hesitant and the way he looks back up at her realising she really just doesn’t recognise him at all. the way it probably flooded him with memories of when he fell for her basically MY MAN i cANT 😭

8. and then ending that little scene with him holding the jar of candy in his hand like it’s this precious thing, staring at it and letting out the saddest sigh as it continues to snow outside???? yeah. normal

@goth-mami-writer

Hellooo everyone! I'd like everyone to know that chapter 3 is up on ao3! Come and visit ! ❤️❤️

Have a little sneek peek

Enough to get by on? Well, now that just wouldn’t do now, would it? Alastor’s smile grows wretched, and already plans and thoughts are forming on how to get you out of what must be a rinky-dink room above a second-rate studio. Static rips from the microphone attached to his cane, and his head feels heavy when the horns that adorn his head grow. The soft squeeze of your hand brings Alastor out of his less-than-pleasant thoughts, and he stops in the middle of the sidewalk to give you a sharp-toothed smile.

“I apologize, my dear. Seems as though I got ahead of myself there,” Alastor croons, and you freeze as those red eyes swash over you. You hadn’t expected the overlord to get so upset on your behalf, but somehow it’s still rather flattering all the same. His grin becomes a bit more genuine when you return his smile.

Where and how did you learn to draw bodies both feral and anthro so beautifully detailed and soft? I love all the lines you add that act as muscle and wrinkles.

This isn't going to be a very helpful answer but I think anatomy might just be one of those things I've been autistically obsessed with since I was very little. Bodies have such good shapes, they're very satisfying to draw and I want to do them justice.

I've taken a couple of life drawing classes over the years and they've certainly helped (especially when it comes to figuring out dynamic poses, perspective and line of action), but I think for me the bulk of it has been just looking at living things really intently and trying to mentally pull them apart like a ball jointed doll so that I have, like, a 3D model of them in my brain that I can rotate around and pose.

Mammals are pretty meaty and flexible, we have a lot of soft tissue, and it's always fun to try to convey that feeling of fleshiness when drawing. The different layers of the body (skin, fat, muscle and bone, mostly) all interact with each other in interesting ways and different poses accentuate different aspects of them. Managing to capture small nuances like where your skin wrinkles when you move your joints, where you accumulate fat that creates softer and rounder shapes, and where your bones are closest to the surface, can really make your drawings seem more alive and organic.

I just rewatched the rako hardeen arc and it once again hits me how incredibly fucked up that was. Like good lord what were they thinking

And I say this not in a Jedi critical way per se but more in a Jedi flabbergasted way??

Bc clearly at SOME POINT the council had a conversation about what to do about the whole chancellor-assassination-plot thing, and what i want to know is whose pitch was “hey Kenobi what if we hire a bounty hunter to shoot you off a roof in front of your padawan and grandpadawan, then we hold a fake funeral for you (to which we will invite your ex/our political rival, and also not Cody) and then we use the machine from the 1997 Action Thriller Face/Off starring Nick Cage and John Travolta to violently transmutate you into the aforementioned bounty hunter (whom we will have in the meantime arrested) then after a brief stay in Supermax Spaceprison you can infiltrate Count Dooku’s secret team-building saw trap cube (designed by famed criminal mastermind Stabbada Badguyman) in order to save the galaxy. Do you. Do you think you’d be up for that”

And obi-wan, fresh off Zyggeria and about halfway through the worst year of his life is just like

Vox is such a Lil bastard lol!

Come join us on AO3! -> Here

⚠️Update Alert!⚠️

@short-honey-badger

Chapter 8 of "Fine Tuned" is on the wayyyyy. Ya'll be ready to meet with Vox in this chapter!

A small snippet is below, and the link is coming soon! 🖤

《 Vox flicked his hand open to reveal a business card that you didn't feel inclined to even reach for but Alastor immediately smiled in wait as a dark shadow from behind him snatched the card from the TV’s grip, vanishing the small square of paper within its dark hands and Alastor smiled even wider to gloat,

“An unfortunate turn of events, oh my.”

Vox sneered with narrow eyes and accepted the defeat he was being handed. 》

[rexxkazu]
