#I am glad to share my art progress

[solusvolk]

mmmmfunny cheese dog

[kyri45]

Not me abusing the asks to both share my love for the bioparents AU AND rant about the panels because none of my friends are in the LMK fandom and I'm suffering here so TAKE MY LOVE AND APPRECIATION ABOUT YOUR ART I guess x)

So first of all

I am a SUCKER for that kind of leaning in frames I'm going to print that and plaster it on my wall THEY ARE EVERYTHING /hj

I almost jumped of my chair when this one popped up YOU FED US GOOD its so worth the angst train incoming. Of course the panels before and after were equally as amazing but if I start going about every single panel we're still here in three days AT THE VERY LEAST LOL

Of course this one made me laugh like please their little faces

Using that to point out how much I love ALLLLLLL the silly faces you put in your comics I'm munching on them every single time they're crushy like chips or something just. Nom nom. Yummy.

Poor Nesha (Nesha? Nezha? Neja? I have no idea on how to write his name I already forgor LMAO) needs to be payed more. He tries to save MK and ends up dealing with two lovesick teenagers demons who have no concept of time/place/occasion apparently. Poor him. He gets a pat on the head for his troubles

And of course just the "NOPE I'M KEEPING HIM" mode and honestly we should have seen it coming- Red son was planning to courtnap him and didn't sleep in the past 5 days so he's not having any bullshit YOU'RE NOT TAKING HIS NOODLE BOY AWAY-

Could bet he spent so long thinking about the cournapping in the 5 past days his brain just cannot process that yeah maybe you need to let him down you're just going to drag him in more troubles- Either that or he's just going full protective mode. Both options are good anyways sooooo :)

We stan a protective boyfriend in this house.

---

And finally I'm SOOOOO hyped about whatever is coming next like I know that technically we're supposed to suffer but please I climbed up the angst train so many times now I'm just enjoying it by that point lol. It'll just make the following fluff even more worth it

Also I cannot wait to see MK's plan about the contract I'm so curious I'm dying I love you boys but I really want the plot to progress you can go back to kissing later lol

Finally, thank you for creating this AU. It's stumbling randomly upon it on my tik tok fyp that dragged me into watching Lego Monkie Kid and really THANK YOU FOR THAT. It's such an amazing show I CANNOT BELIEVE I didn't discovered it sooner so really thank for having created this comic because else I could have missed LMK and that would be just saaaad

Fun fact: since I had never interacted with LMK the first time I read your comic, I for some reason thought Macaque was a female (and I probably would have thought the same of Wukong if he wasn't called... well, Wukong because I randomly stumbled upon the myth's Wikipedia page at some point in my life XD). The shock I felt when I heard Macaque for the first time in the show because his voice was soooooo not what I expected x) I'm still laughing at myself to this day

So yeah, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, and I can't wait to see what you're going to pull next :D Wish you allllll the best <3

(I can totally wait, of course, it's just a figure of speech. Take your time, I could wait forever for the next chapter)

ahaha thank you for such a lovely comment!! Glad the scene gived "MINE" vibes as I was planning ahah.

Youu're welcome! It's an honor to serve this fandom. *bows*

To all my vode, friends, mutuals, and followers 

Today exactly one year ago, after over 2 months of lurking, I finally found the courage to drop my very first Tumblr post. Yeah alright, *clap clap*, Earth orbited around the sun one time, what’s the big deal? Well, the big deal is, and I know I’ve become sentimental about this before, but I’m so grateful for making that decision, and for everyone accompanying me on my journey since.

I remember during my Instagram years (please don’t make me go back there), I was talking to someone and we were discussing moving platforms. They ended up saying: whatever you do, don’t join Tumblr. And boy, am I glad I rebelled (that’s a tad dramatic but I do love getting a bit theatrical from time to time) and jumped into the Tumblr void anyway.

I cannot thank all of you for your encouragement, for your support, for your enthusiasm, for your friendships. I’ve said this before, but I’ve never felt as at home as you make me feel here, and I thank you all for it. I do hope to be around here for many, many more years, but this first year has been a blast.

At the start of 2024, I couldn’t have imagined I would start writing fanfiction, and even more surprisingly, I would start drawing humans? And even enjoying doing so?!? Oh my, what a galaxy we live in! And now, with around 260 art pieces and 39 written works shared, and rapidly reaching 500 followers, I’m so excited to see what the Tumblr-future will bring. I cannot wait to progress with my art, to continue these amazing friendships, to discover other wonderful creators and creations.

I wish I could have prepared something more exciting for this, but I had some pretty hectic weeks and am still preparing something Lupe-related for next week, but I wanted to write down my silly ramblings to show you all my appreciation for this community. I know life isn’t perfect and fandoms aren’t either (I’m just going to forget about recent anon), but I’m glad to be non-perfect in this community.

Thank you for being here with me, and for making Star Wars even better for me <3 

Love, Lupe

Yo If It turns out PV ends up meeting pre-beast SM, then that it'll be very good inspo for Burningcheese fics. Somehow GC ends up in the past or the HoC comes to the future....

My brother... My guy... Trust me...

ahead of you

😎😎😎😎😎

Story's a work in progress. I'm doing it together with a friend of mine; they want to do the art while I do the writing. I've been trying to flesh out the plot and characters and the like during my free time at home. Friend is busy with school atm, so no art just yet! We both hope to put the story out soon-ish, around March or so. We've got BIG plans, so stay tuned!

I will say this, though: 1) The story has an official name/title + a synposis, 2) The story has an ending (you're not supposed to write the ending first, but it came to me randomly and I got so attached to it that I chose to forsake traditional writing norms to keep it), 3) I've got a handful of established characters I'm juggling, BS and GC will have quite the merry gang of side characters surrounding them lol, and 4) it will be a multi-chapter story posted to AO3. I'll post on here to let people know when it's been updated + I hope to make more general lore posts because I'm having too much fun with the worldbuilding lol

I'm glad you're sharing my vision though haha. Stay tuned to see what my friend and I do with it! Merchant has something special in the oven, don't leave the table just yet

General Professional//Victim updates, opportunities for feedback, a personal note, and possible commission openings.

Sorry! Not a chapter update tonight, but some notes about the writing process and some big changes coming down the line.

I am a few months away from my two year anniversary of writing Professional//Victim! I started the story during medical leave for top surgery, so happy almost-anniversary to my customized titties.

I’ve been doing regular updates now for about a year, and though I’ve not always been able to stay strict to that schedule, I am so glad I have put forth the effort. During my recent hospital stay, I was thinking about dying (I am totally fine, just dramatic) and realized that this story is actually my best and most complete work of art. I have so much art I want to make before I go, but this really is the one that I’ve worked on the most. I want to finish it. I want to make it a full book, regardless of formal publishing options or if I would print it at a loss.

It might sound silly, but whump writers put a lot of time and effort into their works, and it’s important to us. It’s just as meaningful a work as any published accredited work – sometimes more, considering the incredible community feedback and contributions along the way. It’s a very special thing we have here, and I think if I learned every language in the world, I would still fail to find the words to express my gratitude. 

At this point, I’ve had some time to think over the way the story is going, and I want to reiterate that Professional/Victim is a work in progress. While every chapter is edited before it is published, there are a lot of edits that will need to be made before the story is as complete and cohesive as I’d like it to be. Some things are additions I wanted to add later, other things that I started and forgot to continue incorporating, and even more that I’d like to build up further. I am including some editing notes as examples of things I’d like to do, and some ideas that will be implemented down the line.

However, there is also a major change in Professional//Victim that will take some time to implement, but I have high hopes for how it can enrich the story. 

The pivot I want to make will still include all client chapters and many yet to come, but will be a large addition to the story. I’d love to hear feedback on this, so please feel free to weigh in.

I want to better establish the business that Rory, Caius, and Michelle have as “The Dream Team”, with a marketing niche describing their custom work as “fulfilling dreams” and “granting wishes”. Tommy and Caius, with the help of their support, will be mini celebrities in red room circles on the deep web. 

Tommy will have to face the cameras, but Caius wears a mask to hide his face. He’s so vain about his hair, I’m not sure that he would cover it, even with a wig. He’ll conceal his face with a take on the classic Comedy mask, next to Tommy, who is naturally Tragedy.

Pictured: Comedy and Tragedy mask examples from maskshopvenice

I’m thinking Caius will have some kind of dramatic name that he goes by for their social media, like The Wishmaster or The Dream Weaver as part of their branding of “granting wishes” and “fulfilling dreams”. I’m not sure if Tommy should be himself, or if he should have a coordinating moniker for their online profile - Wish or Dream or something like that.

I meant to incorporate more of Caius calling Tommy “Angel” as a pet name, which will tie in with a revelation further down the line, so maybe Tommy goes by Angel? But then that would probably better tie in with a devil or demon motif for Caius. But I like the Comedy and Tragedy motif as well, because Caius is super pretentious and will think of himself as some great actor. (He absolutely is not.)

I like the idea of Tommy being forced into an odd niche as a micro-influencer. I’d like to use this to be able to share more of Tommy having some active talent rather than being just a passive recipient of his abuse – though some people like it when he’s just a victim as well, so there will be a variety. 

While not everyone is able to book time with Tommy, fans will be able to interact with their online presence in multiple ways. 

Videos. I like the idea of Tommy being forced into an acting role in mini tortureporn films that Caius and Michelle write. Caius writes in over the top villain dialogues for himself, Michelle rolls his eyes but makes advertisements for his own torture tools (such as The Cradle from the crossover episode) and keeps up with trends that other viral red rooms are doing. I imagine a whole social network of different channels boasting their paywalled content, and Tommy and Caius are on the higher end of popularity. Like…onlyfans, patreon, youtube, all that shit mashed together. They make mini movies, sometimes with plot and sometimes not, where Tommy is victimized and tortured on film. 

Streaming. They will be doing streaming events where people get to make requests, vote on methods of torture, numbers of strikes, sexual acts, any number of horrific requests one could make. There will be themed streams that are set up as a basis, where people can then give input through the chat. One I have in mind is a marathon puppy-play event where Tommy is kept in a dog cage for several days. At one point, he stages an attempted escape with Caius - just so he gets a fraction of a second where he can stretch his legs out before he is caught and accordingly punished. 

Chats. Q and A for Caius, who eats up all this attention that inflates his ego.  Tommy, who has to answer the best he can to sate his “fans” and please Caius, is also forced to participate. Sometimes he has to give video responses answering them in a floating-head style interview, or has to dictate answers to chats that are typed out and sent back. Torture sexting, invasive questions, and prying fans, oh my!

Photoshoots. Again, these will usually be themed, but can play into Caius and Rory’s interests in fashion. I think it would be fun to incorporate more of Caius having a bonus role as Tommy’s hairdresser and makeup artist, and give a little more characterization and “screen time” to Rory. Rory is now a wannabe fashion photographer, who follows some specific designers and chooses clothing for Tommy. Caius and Michelle choose photoshoot props and themes, ranging from heavenly and angelic to medical torture and gore. 

Speaking of “screen time”, I want to incorporate Rory and Michelle more in general, and I think expanding the scope of the business would allow a lot of opportunity for that. For example, an idea I have was that a similar website/social media to theirs gets busted by the FBI. Michelle and Rory work together to investigate who reported it and get rid of the narcs. Michelle does the tech whiz shit, hacking accounts to leave evidence of CP and tax evasion before sending in a conveniently anonymous tip. Rory talks to people when they need a face, and has very extensive networks of contacts that he can use to collect information and make things happen.

Rory is a great salesman and a social chameleon; he can make friends and network with anyone. Caius thinks he is just as good. He is wrong. I think it could be interesting to have Rory assist in teaching Tommy how to read people – Tommy already has a talent for it but doesn’t know to manipulate people like Rory does.

Michelle is a tech genius. He’s also a weeb and cares a lot about his plants. Michelle keeps track of deep web trends - if a video goes viral of someone getting teeth pulled, Michelle will tell Caius to make a video pulling Tommy’s teeth to stay up on the hot trends! Michelle also implements slight glitches and filters on their videos that could potentially indicate that they are deepfakes. 

He comments on dummy accounts to point it out in order to stir up controversy in the community - now people watch it to see if they think it’s fake or not and argue with each other in the comments section and the feeds. This also helps cast doubt on their identities even if someone was close to finding them out. He makes sure there are places online from old jobs and dummy social media posts that could be used for to deepfake Tommy and Caius, in order to provide some level of doubt that it could be them. 

Michelle also sabotages other popular accounts that rival their business, investigating them on his own until he gets solid info on the people involved. Then he plants CP and evidence of tax fraud on their computers and puts in anonymous tips. He also wipes any trace of their deep web accounts from their laptops before they get submitted to evidence, since he does not want to bring any unwanted attention to their online community at all. Anyways, wasn’t I in the middle of a list?

Tommy’s room. I’m thinking about a kind of auction to add or remove items in Tommy’s room. This could add more variables to spice up his life a little. I’m considering a Something Naughty / Something Nice system where people can be mean AND can be nice, where people can vote on if something mean should be done or something nice should be done for that week. And if the vote is within a certain % of each other, both will happen as a “tie”. For example, Tommy could get a Pacman Arcade Game in his room one week, but his bed gets taken away. He can earn a dog bed to sleep on – but he’s going to have to do/agree to something awful. 

I already set up the concept of Caius giving him rewards to “balance out” the     cruelty, thinking he’s some mastermind psychologist that can maintain Tommy’s will to live, but I need to establish that more consistently. My idea was that he says he does this but is very stingy and detached from thinking of Tommy as human, so he neglects him a lot. Still, I want to incorporate some more niceties and better establish what daily life looks like for Tommy in between clients. It would be horrifically boring to be stuck in the same dim room all the time, and I think it would help flesh him out to show what he does other than read and watch TV. 

Now onto ideas and edit notes - if you’re interested in behind the scenes writing stuff, here is a peek at how my brain works on this stuff. Be warned: it’s a mess.

– Caius gives Tommy a bath in His Hands. Specify that Caius brought in a bathtub plug - Tommy is not allowed to have one because they are concerned he could try to kill himself. Tommy has a secret one he made out of wadded up paper - it doesn’t work as well and still slowly drains but he can take little sit baths at least

–Idea: Sam puts Tommy on new antidepressants and he develops erectile dysfunction. Caius wants him to be able to “perform” sexually when he wants, but Sam doesn’t see the need for him to be able to have erections. Sam tells Caius that he can take the medication off a few days before he sees a client if he needs to be able to get hard when he goes to them. Caius either ignores Sam’s instructions not to give him the pink aphrodisiac while he’s on it, or thinks he stopped the medication but removed the wrong pills from his diet. Tommy has a bad reaction - fever, seizures, hallucinations, a blood clot that has to be removed, whatever sounds fun. Is it at home? Is it with a client?

-Possibly establish a dumbwaiter in Tommy’s room

-Possibly establish a camera feed in Tommy’s room?

- Add punishment cabinet to Tommy’s room - a standing dresser or something, needs to be lockable, contains all manner of nasty shit Caius might like to use on him.

-Establish what cleaners Tommy is allowed to use - only non-toxic ones that he couldn’t kill himself drinking.

-Make a final decision and stick to it when it comes to Tommy’s clothes. I initially had it in mind that he has a trunk under his bed that Caius can unlock to pick his clothes for him. The idea was, he has no shower curtain or clothing that he can use to try to strangle himself. This is too impractical, they would literally have to keep him naked all the time. Establish a closet or dresser and what clothing he has. 

-Iron out exact setup of Tommy’s room

-Retcon basement design to make it into a whole little studio for filming.

-Add consistencies of Tommy having a high amount of drugs and pills he has to take every morning and night. Add humiliation of specific body washes, lotions, creams, and tinctures that Caius “supervises” him putting on, or does it himself. 

-Decide on side effects that Tommy experiences from all the drugs he gets and how they affect him.  

-Quick note: I spell Michelle’s name that way because I want people to read it closer to the french pronunciation, since Michelle is french-canadian and has a french-canadian accent. He does not let people use the anglicized version of his name. However, I think spelling it that way just causes some confusion, so I’m thinking about correcting the spelling to Michel. I’m also considering writing his accent out. Some people might think that’s offensive. I might not care. We shall seeeeee lol.

Moving onto COMMISSIONS 

I love writing this series, and I would happily do it as a full time job if I could! Unfortunately I cannot do that, and have to work 45 hours a week with a shitty commute instead. 

I am disabled. Sometimes I’m okay, and I’m out going to the gym and adventuring! Other times, I’ll be bed bound for a week. It can flip very suddenly, and it typically ranges from mildly difficult to completely disabling. This puts me out of work, and can put me out of writing as well since it affects my cognitive functions as well as my body. I also had a kidney infection that went septic and wound up in the hospital for a week.

All this to say, I have wiped out my allotment of PTO at my job for the rest of the year. Any time I have to take off, or even want to take off, is unpaid. This is a big safety net that I have lost, and considering I mostly live paycheck to paycheck, it puts me in a vulnerable position. I am considering adding commission openings for my writing in order to try to earn a tiny bit on the side.

I don’t know exactly what commissions would look like, or if they would be desired at all. Maybe they could be prompts for chapters, or custom chapters that people get to decide what happens. If it’s not something I want to fully incorporate into the story, I can list it as AU bonus content, or it could be private to the person who commissioned it.

Other ideas:

-I could offer one shots

-Beta reading with editing suggestions and feedback

-Patreon previews and votes

-Whump drawings, though I don’t have a big portfolio and need to get better at digital

-Whumpy fanfiction commissions

I’m not sure if anyone would be interested, or if there are other things people might like. This is definitely another area I’d like some feedback on.

This has been a long and rambling update. If you have read this far - or even skipped some stuff and got to the end - I salute you. You have earned: a kiss on the forehead. With tongue. 😛

TSAC: Greetings, Three Signals! My name is Three Stars Above Clouds.

As I am sure you are aware, the integrity of the global broadcast network is decaying as time progresses. I recognize that there is a limited amount of time that we iterators have before long-distance communication becomes impossible. Thus, I have decided to make an effort to get to know my fellow iterators before I lose the chance.

Now, the primary reason for my contact: I became curious to investigate your broadcast frequency after it appeared on the long-range communications channels.

Your broadcast signature appears to match some of the data stored within my personal archives. I believe I may have recordings of some of your musical broadcasts, though I was unable to locate the source until now. I am glad to have identified their originator!

I will admit that I have only a passing familiarity with the arts; my expertise lies elsewhere. However you appear to be quite knowledgeable about cultural matters of a musical nature, and I am eager to learn more about areas of study outside of my own personal research.

I have some questions about your work, if you would not mind me asking. Do you have any favorite musical compositions, or perhaps some that are important to your research? I also wonder, is your work primarily curatorial, or have you created any original compositions of your own?

I appreciate your efforts in the realm of data preservation and dissemination; I believe such actions are quite valuable to the wider iterator community, especially during these times of looming isolation.

This broadcast is becoming quite long, so I will end my message here. I await your reply; may the Cycles be kind.

@threestarsaboveclouds

(ooc: WOW sorry this got long lol. In this post from a while ago TSAC mentions that they have some iterator songs archived, and I had that in mind when formulating this message https://www.tumblr.com/threestarsaboveclouds/758086912710000640)

TS: [ HELLO, THREE STARS ABOVE CLOUDS! PLEASE, EXCUSE MY INCONVINIENT WAY OF COMMUNICATION, BUT I'M VERY HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU! ]

[ 1 FILE ATTACHED ]

TS: [ I’M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT MY BROADCAST IS STILL REACHING ANYONE. I’M ALSO REALLY FLUSTERED THAT ANYONE WOULD GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO REACH BACK OUT TO ME- I HOPE THE FREQUENCY ISN’T AN UNPLEASANT ONE FOR YOU… IT’S HARD TO FIND THE PERFECT TUNE FOR EVERYONE, BUT I’M TRYING MY BEST! ]

TS: [ UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THE CHANTS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY DOCUMENTED, AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO RECORD THEM, AND ALL THERE IS TO WORK WITH ARE SPECULATIONS, WORD OF MOUTH AND VAGUE MUMBLINGS OF THOSE WHO CLAIMED TO REMEMBER THEIR DISTANT REINCARNATIONS. SIMULATIONS EVENTUALLY RAN INTO LOOPS, AND THE ONLY SOLID THING THEY PROVED, WAS THAT THE CHANTS DEFINITELY  HAVE NO EFFECT ON NON-SAPIENT BEINGS, THUS--- ]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(OOC: I would like to highlight the fact that these two are not in fact neighbors, not like the iterators are in the game, at least! I admit it was a very spontaneous "what-if" idea that I did not run through Delta's permission first- I got way over myself.

For lore-accurate location of TSAC please refer to this post:

https://www.tumblr.com/delta-orionis/779480878118256640/i-didnt-want-to-derail-maryymaruus-reply-to

While I'm glad to hear they are not completely opposed to the idea of TS being a "distant neighbor", it would be an extremely distant one, even for iterator standards! "Wouldn't even show up on the map" kind of distant X'D TS's idea of what is "far away" is possibly skewed by how large the radius of his transmissions is--

It's best to consider this interaction non-canon for either of them.

Thank you and apologies for the misunderstanding! )

Oh lord my OWN birthday post...

I wonder how late I am to it... ah... 5 days late... </3

But, I still had a good birthday!!! :D

I wanted to thank everyone who drew me. :3 It made me so happy!

Also... Silly thanks to the people drawing my faves! :D

On a serious note...

My birthday records weren't always the best in the past.

But, this year its been really good for me and my birthday was phenomenal!

I am truly really grateful for everything that has happened to me and the people I've met this year...

So, I wanted to thank some mutuals and friends of mine!

@averyyy-furrr - You've always been one of those people I could never get rid of /loving.

Always with me through my highest days to all the way at the deepest pits of hell. I know I make fun of you a lot and I'm mean to you sometimes. But, I mean it in the best place in my heart.

I know I have a tendency to push people away but you always stayed throughout the years.

You changed me a lot and you taught me that there are other people out in the world that do love me.

I just hope I'm as good to you as you are to me because you remind me a lot of myself. So, I hope you know that I love you lots.

@z33z-nutz - What can I even say with you? My stupid evil twin...

I find it funny a lot how we used to hate each other at first. Well, and now we're practically inseparable.

You already know so much about me and I'm so happy you really do. Like how you knew I had such bad trauma in the past or how I've always had the hardest times expressing myself.

But, you always fought for me.

There's so much I can say, but nothing at the same time. I mean it in the best way possible.

We changed each other a lot and I want to keep living everyday like this with us together.

I love you, shitterbo.

@noodledrawsandstuff - I'm really glad I honestly worked up the courage to talk to you! I do really consider you a good friend of mine and I care for you a lot.

At the time I met you, I was going through a really hard and dark time of my life. But, talking to you made things better.

You make me laugh, giggle, and do stupid things. You're generally so sweet it hurts my teeth. I hate how much hate you can get because I know you don't deserve it.

I like it when you share me all your work in progresses, your dog pics, hell I even love it when you send me what your eating for the night!

So, I want to be a better person, for you.

I hope you know I love you and I want you to feel better too. <3

@barakidpirates - My stupid gay friend /j.

I like having our stupid talks with each other. I'm generally so happy I met you and I want to keep talking to you!

You always give me the stupidest giggles and ideas for my own drawings. I also love seeing your art grow.

I think your really cool even if I don't say it. I have the hardest time expressing myself but I'm slowly getting better at it.

You're generally really awesome. I want to get to know you and Noods more... <3

@vaporeon-panda - This one might be so out of left field. But, I've been meaning to tell you my feelings about your stuff!!!

At the time, I was struggling with my identity and it's hard for me to admit but I also de-transitioned for a while.

After coming back to, well, trying to come back to being me. That's when I found your fanfics. Though you haven't written trans characters much, I never felt so? I don't know? I never had something open my eyes to feeling ok and seeing someone have similar thoughts like me.

Your fanfics have become a big comfort to me now! I even joke to my friends that I'm your number one secret fan. I genuinely hope you keep writing, even if to others it seems silly, I enjoy your stuff a lot.

It comforts me and you write trans male characters really well.

“I'm so glad this blog exists!! Now I can actually be honest about this show without getting my neck metaphorically snapped ajskdke

Short Version: I seriously think that the romance between John and Martin is the weakest aspect of the show and the crew fumbled the ball on making them believable.

Long Version: I understand that Martin was madly in love with John from the start but, even after the ship became canon, I genuinely don't understand what they see in each other. Se1 Jon treated Martin like shit and even if it's supposed to be interpreted as typical Tsundere behavior, I still don't get why Martin fell in love with the workplace bully. And likewise, John's complaints and dislike for Martin's clinginess and shoddy work ethic were justified as John seemed like a married-to-one's-work type of guy, it makes complete sense for Martin to drive him up a wall.

The reveal from Elias (118) that Martin has some "precious image" of John inside his head made a lot of sense. I was like, 'Oh! So he's only in love with the idea of John, not the person he actually is!? That's crazy!' And I was honestly happier under the impression that his feelings were unrequited and he was just too obsessed to take the hint. That would've made his adventure into Lonely Avatarhood way more interesting. To know that the man you love isn't the him you want to be with and the real him never loved you back anyway...

On that point too, John's desperation to keep Martin from turning fully in Se4 felt more like a begging plea to keep the last of his original assistants alive than anything truly romantic.

But nonetheless, John and Martin have only interacted a handful of times before the end of Se4, and only two of them were positive (039 being the main one I can remember). The rest of the show's runtime is them hearing about the other through hearsay, progressing the plot, and arguing over John's increasing monster-status, with an added dash of John getting audibly uncomfortable whenever romance came up in conversation. That's not enough to build an eventual love confession and romantic relationship on. No matter how hard the fandom shippers carry it with their art and fics, they shouldn't have to do the heavy lifting in the writers' stead.

Don't get me wrong though! 186 and Epiphany (winner of the Magnus Fluff contest) were FANTASTIC, and if we had seen more of THAT before they got together, I'd have no complaints!

It just wasn't apparent enough that John ever reciprocated in canon.”

Thanks for sharing! Let’s chat!

1) Sorry to anon, but the ask went HAYWIRE in my inbox and this was the only way I could get it out. My apologies! I haven’t changed anything!

2) Ok, ok… I have to speak my truth. I am also not the biggest fan of Jmart. I agree with anon- Jon is the kind of guy who likes to be and works best alone. Martin’s approach to Jon did seem quite obsessive and it just felt very… sudden that they should become a couple. I just never saw it, and when it did happen, it felt quite out of left field.

3) Now I want to play devil’s advocate to anon and myself because DISCUSSION! I love talking things out in a respectful and kind way, and that’s what we’re here to do!

-Alrighty so, if Jon is adverse to romance as anon says, why did Johnny and Alex decide to make Jmart cannon? Wouldn’t that go against all of Johnny’s hard work in building up believable characters?

-Secondly, doesn’t fan response make Jmart more believable? This to say- if fans picked it out so quickly, doesn’t that mean it was obvious from the start? (Or is this just how fan bases work? Michael and Gerry never met and yet we have DoorKeay!)

4) I wanted to reiterate something: Quite often my posts get circulated without the context of why I made this blog (and honestly I may start putting it at the bottom of every post I make from here on out.) I created this to be a safe space to share opinions without harsh feedback or rude response. You are very welcome to disagree with someone! In fact, I encourage this sort of back and forth! But if your words are not respectful and kind, then I cannot hear you out. We can disagree with each other and still be kind. If we cannot be kind to one another in such a small community as a fan base, then it becomes harder to hold on to hope of kindness outside of it.

I’ll step off my soap box now, and say that I’ve been meaning to say as much for a minute. It does not correlate as much to this ask/post as it does to some others that have received mixed responses. As expected, some people have taken my posts and responded in negative ways.

I can’t stop people from responding negatively. What I can do is make sure that, no matter who sees these, that they know where I stand as a Tumblr user, blog author, and person. I value kindness and respect above all else. If I ever veer from this, call me out.

5) I appreciate you guys a lot, and I have been so so grateful to have this community. Keep those asks coming!

Thanks for sharing and remember to keep your words kind!

[dead--star]

I am so sorry if i am literally the most bothering person in the universe being on like, every single one of ur posts... but aurastor occupies like 80% of my brainspace now and it's ur fault!!!

i need to know... does he have hobbies... does he like animals? does he have a favourite animal? is he silly sometimes... does he own an absurd amount of clothes... please...!!!🥀

unrelated to that I absolutely love his hair... you draw it so pretty i will admit that I literally open up my tumblr just to go look at ur drawings for like 20 mins every day a few times a day and just. stare. I need to give him 9128491938291844 grey hairs bc I hate him

HOW COULD YOU BE BOTHERING ME. I'm sharing my work in hopes it resonates with others.

let me begin by saying you made my day saying that. i really can't overstate how motivating it is to hear someone enjoying my work to that level.

you will be glad to know i have like 15 more pages of his sequentials sketched out (and more in text drafts) so there's plenty of unhinged rogue trader content to consume.

so much to answer here, so below the cut

First, lemme reward u with "is he silly sometimes"

he actually is. when he's comfortable or in a space he commands, he has a really (overly) pronounced sense of humour. he finds many things funny. His sense of humour is dark, however. He finds hopelessness as hilarious as absurdity.

granted, he doesn't think about animals much, but he finds the least threatening and smallest ones the most pleasant. they don't activate his need to control. If he had a different profession. he'd likely enjoy insects or isopods. things that are microcosmic to him that he finds fascinating. Larger, more dangerous animals just activate his fight response.

as for hobbies, he. well the more palatable ones are that he's a decent artist. he likes to draw clothes, theoretical engineering concepts that dont really make sense- and people he knows or thinks he remembers. He likes puzzles. he overthinks them and so is bad at them. He absolutely loves thought exercises.

his most private hobby is that he likes to sing when alone. Not grandiose, just quietly when he's thinking or engaged in art or- yes- going through his wardrobe, you caught him.

his slender voidborn physique calls for bespoke tailoring and he's developed a quietly intense passion for the way clothes can speak for him. fun fact, he smooths his hair once when he gets up and it just progressively gets more and more fucked up throughout his time awake and he will never think to fix it even once.

hope that's not an overwhelming amount of info. this fucking guy has about 40 fucking pages of bullshit profiling and story notes in scrivener at the moment that I NEED to get this stuff out so bad.

[soullessseraphim]

I see you don't really like shadownilla, (me either tbh) so I'm curious to see your take on other Vanilla ships? Purelily, for instance? Also your art is so marshmallow flavored :)

HI HI HELLOOO‼️✨️

So glad to see im not alone in this wagh 😭🙏 also,, thank you, very glad you like my art!!

As for other ships,, well,,, I've never exactly been a shipper in any piece of media I interact with to be honest. I am way more familiar with and active on oc x canon stuff. I don’t have any problems with PureLily, if anything it’s one of the ships which probably makes the most sense out of (vaguely gestures to the ancient x beast wave of content)... yeah. And while it’s not my cup of tea, it’s appealing, with the whole doomed romance scenario with her being Dark Enchantress... and the Beast yeast episodes gave us even more material to work with!! I do find it interesting because I personally view White Lily’s journey as letting go of her past mistakes to find her true self, and also maybe letting go of a desperate and unhealthy attachement to Pure Vanilla as he was the only one keeping in touch with her. As for Pure Vanilla's feelings towards her, I admit I have my own biases that kinda upset me when I think about him romantically loving her jdjdkd 😭(selfshipping and all KOF-) so take what I say with a grain of salt I suppose.

They probably had a crush on each other as kids. That I don’t mind. But as time progresses I wonder if that crush hasn’t developped into something that isn’t quite platonic but also isn’t quite romantic either. Did Pure Vanilla really love her? Or was he driven by that deep sense of empathy and benevolence he has and was trying to save her? I would say the line is a little blurry y’know. Pure Vanilla could very well be driven by genuine love for her but when does that love mingle with his own hurt and need for things to be fixed, people to be saved and close ones to be safe? Is it a romantic type of love or is that love the same he shows to everyone else?? Once again there could be genuine feelings involved but those could have been overrun by circumstances, hardships and pain, and a need to fix broken things when it would be healthier to let go, mayhaps.

(Edit, Adding this : It felt more like PV was clinging onto something which he was nostalgic about / gave him comfort in dark times than entertaining genuine romantic feelings... maybe im pushing it a bit but ye)

So yeah idk I believe they are at a point where they’ve both somewhat mended their relationship and while they might still have tender feelings towards each other, I don’t believe they want to pursue those, at least not romantically, and each are a bit more focused on themselves and their own journey. That’s what I like to think anyway.

I've seen poly ancients float around as well and while I don’t have a problem with it it still kind of bothers me a tad bit. People are allowed to be friends, and so are characters. Would you ship yourself with your homies in a polycule?? I don’t think so. I just believe it’s important to keep in mind that healthy, deep and strong friendships are possible, and while I do understand the appeal of shipping, I feel like it’s gone overboard more often than not.

People and characters can form platonic bonds over shared hardships, and I do like seeing the ancients interact as good ol’ pals. I wish people were a bit more normal about the characters sometimes a didn’t ship them as soon as they show a tiny bit of closeness and affection...

Ahem anyways hope my insight didn’t sound too dumb and im glad to be able to have this discussion ✨️🙏

[alchemicourtesy]

HEYEY! glad to see more people into vat7k!!! Would you mind sharing more of the insight n what your perceptions of the characters are? I saw your post about Hugo n Var as well as the involvement with Nuru in the tags and was wondering!!! No pressure ofc <3 also love your art it's REALLY AWESOME !

hi! thank you so much :] im rlly glad ur interested... as new as i am to this story and world i'm still ironing out my own opinions and headcanons and ideas so everything is in a rough place atm but i'd love to talk about what i Do have right now ^^

i'm sort of operating under the idea of what this would look like if it were a tv show rather than a comic only for the sake of structure and me being able to visualize it haha. doesnt mean anything beyond that.

i love the idea of there being 7 kingdoms, 7 alchemic laws, and 7 "lessons" for the characters to learn and id probably divide it through 3 seasons with the last season focusing on either 2 or 1 (heavy emphasis on what would be the "library arc") and allocating the extra "arcs" to s1. but anyways

mainly i like the idea of like. each of the group getting a chance to shine an equal amount. obviously they'd all have something to gain from every lesson but imo id put a particular emphasis on them all getting 2 each to hammer home their development and experiences. i havent ironed out who learns what and its not like...an exact science rn so thats a work in progress

nuru is interesting to me in particular bc i think theres a notable position she is in being a princess and wanting to be hands on. for her character particularly i feel like its important she be able to learn how to care for her subjects and hone the skills she needs for the responsibility she has but also allowing herself to understand herself as a person and an individual without having to sacrifice her duty to her people and her community. too many times i see in media where a character has this huge responsibility and they have to learn to care about and understand Themselves first and while thats important i feel like its not always possible or feasible and also it's hard. it's rlly hard to grapple with both of those things at the same time. and nuru being a princess she Wants to help her people. she Wants to have the responsibility to care for them but she still must learn what that will look like for her specifically and how she can be that person she wants to be without phoning it in or anything.

with yong i saw it was mentioned he has a huge loving family that supports him and wants to see him succeed, but he's just sort of wild and unpredictable in ways i think varian can relate to from when he was younger. there's nothing really "wrong" with yong, but he has to understand and learn balance and control where he struggles with it and that he can be the person he wants to be but there has to be instances where he takes his time and understands that progress isnt linear. which gives varian a good place to act as an older brother figure obviously bc thats shit he himself learned in tts lol

varian's arc Kind of began and ended in tts so i just see vat7k as a way of expanding on stuff he already has learned yet not rlly like. rehashing stuff he should already know

hugo is a little trickier for me bc i think there are a Lot of similarities he shares narratively with eugene (which makes sense given that he was said to have been acquainted with eugene in the past, at least somewhat). they're similar but they're not the Same, so i wouldnt want hugo to just be repeating the same beats that eugene already learned. in my opinion hugo is smug and he thinks somewhat highly of himself, but hes not a bragger. hes not snarky nor will he actively antagonize the group. what reason would he have to? he wants them to like and trust him and i dont rlly see that happening if hes always being a jerk to them haha.

thats all i got for now i think but feel free to ask me abt more stuff if ur interested : )

2025 update

Hi, I don't know how to write words.

2024 has been a year of where a lot has changed for me, but I still feel like I could've done so much more. Considering that I'm one step away from adulthood, I have to keep my shit together as fast as possible.

This post is more of a personal goal list that I want to try to achieve this year.

The main reason you are probably here it's because of my art, I will get to it after clarifying some things.

My laptop is hanging on the charging plug.

It will be taken to get fixed probably this week.

After I get it back I am really looking forward to put my brain to work.

I'm planning on making a YouTube channel to drop animations there and even some SpeedPaints of my works. Also I will remake my commissions pricing and organize myself better with the time I put on my works except rushing everything everyday.

Money is harder than I was expecting.

Things here at my house have been more struggling than just 'not being able to by a new decent cellphone' (which we are still gathering the money for it).

My grandfather is retired, but the money that he gains from it it's not enough to sustain a house of four people, to the point that he's considering to get a job this year. If you watched TADC EP 4 you know that he shouldn't go over this stress again.

I want to help sustain this house financially besides just focusing on school. I will remake my commission info after my laptop returns fixed, but while this doesn't happen, if you donate even one cent it would mean a lot for us here.

About my fan works.

Now to the reason why you are here.

If you are following me for a while you might be aware of my Geppetto AU and KinitoPET AU, both DCA focused. I am currently trying to write the fanfic for the Geppetto AU and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with these kinito heads. Maybe I will show up with another AU but... Who knows.

Heads up for these little fellas.

My original works

Been working night and day on my own little creatures, but I don't show them up to you guys that often because I wanted to make sure they were 100% done before I posted them online. But I decided that I'm going to share my progress when designing them little by little.

You guys will see this monochrome bastard on the left pretty often on my works.

Thank you for the support.

I cannot express enough of how thankful I am for you guys being here. All I can do for now is just give my best to present decently my works for my public, but you all changed my year significantly.

I'm glad to have you all here even though I haven't been exactly active these days.

I will do my best for you guys, and for myself. And I want you to do your best as well.

Thank you so much.

Have a nice 2025.

[andvys]

it’s crazy the way some people act when it comes to fics. getting upset because the story isn’t being written the way you want it? here’s a thought: write your own fic then! i can only imagine how it feels to put so much work into writing something and then be excited about posting it, just to end up having someone come in your asks saying they’re not excited about this series anymore or won’t read the next chapter because of a character... whatever happened to if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say it at all? it’s so easy to just not read something anymore that you have an issue with. and coming to you just to announce that they don’t care about your work anymore is so rude. i’m so sorry you have to deal with these kinds of people. please know that sooo many of us love anything that you write! thank you so much for even sharing your art with us in the first place!! this series is truly so exciting to read and i can’t wait to see more of what you have in store for the gang at the community 😊

it is very frustrating! I am honestly kind of used to it though, it happened in all my series' so far, so it isn't really much of a surprise to see people not liking where this is going -- I saw it coming actually. I knew that once Aaron would appear, some people would start hating it and hating sunshine too but like... I'm not gonna rewrite and change up ideas just because some people don't like how it's progressing. You can't message an author in the middle of reading a novel and ask them to rewrite a story that's been written already either so like...

some comments get so mean and salty too, like do I have to remind people that me and @hellfire--cult are the ones writing this story? This story wasn't a request, it was our idea and Aaron was planned before we even started working on this story. The warnings say 'slow burn' and 'happy ending', and it will always be Steve x sunshine...

but I'm glad that you are enjoying this! and thank you so much ♡
