#I just really like the pencil ✨aesthetic✨ ����

[scribble-doodle]

Trying my hand at digital art with another drawing of my co-op group :)

The pencil aesthetic is inspired by @shkika :)

A little about each person below ⬇️

From left to right-

Blueberry: Survival expert, is probably the only reason that this group is still alive. :|

Squint: Gave up pacifism for violence, favorite item is grenades, he mlem. :P

Spot: Is trying to play a support character as artificer, if he isn’t moving he will instantly go to sleep, the primary source of weaponry. :0

Pearl: Also known as “Cocane Master”, “Drug Boss”, “Mushroom Queen.” If she is able to get Her hands on drugs she will ascend to speeds faster than a god.

Sorry for stealing your pencil shkika :(

As someone who used to be heavily into danganronpa, it’s nice to see people take interest into it :]

Idk if you’ve already answered or only played the second game, but who’re your favorites from both THH, UDG and DRV3 (uh sorry if these acronyms get confusing if they do lmk T_T)

OH MAN okay so I'll go in order lmao

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc

I played a fan translation of the first game back after everyone was reading it on the something awful forums lmao

I'd have to say my top faves are Asahina and Sakura, they're both just fun and sweet and have a great dynamic between them- which speaking of great dynamics Ishimaru, Mondo, and Chihiro are all fantastic as well, two rambunctious idiots and the most earnest sweetheart 😭😭

Also I like Fukawa and by extension Jack but I'm gonna wrap their head in duct tape if Byakuya gets near lmao

Double Also Celestia has excellent drip

Super Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair

I originally played this one back around like uhhh 2017?? Ish?? Idk I played it and had a blast and loved the cast, which is what made me want to replay it actually

I love them all they're all chefs kiss (except the chef Teruteru himself I'm also wrapping his head in duct tape when I need to)

I'd have to say my top faves would be Gundham, Kazuichi, Fuyuhiko, Ibuki, and Mikan, but really I do very much adore the entire cast and the way the game itself pans out and shows their relationships with one another, they feel like they could all be a really good friend group had things turned out better for them

Also Hajime is my favorite protagonist of the bunch lmao

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

So fun fact about this one I've actually never played it oops

HOWEVER I did get ahold of the manga trilogy- of which they were all used copies so volume 1 has nearly every forward facing character having a little drawn on pencil moustache and volume 2 has an entire panel just cut out of it, honestly I'm surprised the third volume doesn't have anything wrong with it LMAO cursed books

As far as the characters that are specific to this game I did think Shirokuma was quite cute and Asahina's brother was fun while he was around

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony

Okay so this one- I started playing it a few months back because I had actually never gotten around to it back when I first got ahold of it, and it's the one that has my partners favorite character in it lmao

I actually put it down because I got too upset after chapter 4 oops, but now me and one of our friends have been watching my partner play the final hurdle so we've only got the final chapter left 💪💪✨

Character wise I do like Shuichi, Maki, and Kaito and the friendship they build between the three of them a lot, I also liked Ryoma more than I anticipated and I adore Gonta 😭

Miu can be fun and god I want to like her more than I do but then she says things and she's getting a triple duct tape wrap LMAO

Kirumi and Korekiyo have AMAZING aesthetics tho I gotta give them a shout out for that

[madsciencepottery]

Hi!!!

I've recently been wanting to get into clay ✨stuff✨ for funsies, and I have absolutely no idea where to start and I spent a good chunk of time googling and learned pretty much nothing because I got overwhelmed!! What a day.

Anyways I've been asking around and I have a few questions and you seem to know what you're doing, so -

-what are the differences between clays? I understand some need to be fired in a kiln (which I do not casually have laying around my house unfortunately), some need to be baked, and some can just air dry??? But that's really about as far as I got before getting lost.

- which clay is usually best for what kind of projects??? I'm thinking I want to do just some Small Things like key trays or pencil/pen holders or etc etc.

- are there any specific tips/tricks I should be using to make it slightly easier to work with, or any specific care instructions?

thank you!!!

Hi there! I don't claim to be an expert but hopefully I can help you get started?

Now clays: ceramic clays need to be fired in a kiln and are the most durable. For your heavy-duty projects (vessels that need to hold water/be in contact with heat) this is your best bet.

Air-dry clay can mimic the look and feel of ceramic clay if you just want the aesthetic, but are usually paper-based and not nearly as durable. Flammable, and not waterproof unless you coat it with something. Can be good for decorative projects.

Polymer clay: plastic-based and mimics a lot of different materials, this is the kind you bake in your oven. Comes in many colors, semi-durable when baked, so this may be the clay for you! Each brand comes with its own set of drawbacks/advantages, so my recommendation is to get an idea of what you want to make first and then see which brand fits best (some might bake harder but are harder to condition, etc.) I mostly work with sculpey so I can't speak to every kind, but probably the best advice I can give is to get a little and just play around with it. Learning the feel of a material is not something you can read over the internet, and the way I have learned the most is to jump in and make mistakes as I go.

I hope this has helped in some small way, I'm always nervous about giving advice, lol

[honeyuuyuu]

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ Alternatives 2 AI Art ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

So, the AI Art discussion has been a huge hot topic for not only the WoW RP community, but the entire internet as we know it. Because we are such a creative community, it’s no wonder people want aesthetically pleasing visuals for their characters. However, not everyone has the finances for a commission or wants to slap down $100+ dollars for a fully rendered full body.

But in turn, AI Art steals artists’ pieces - most often without their knowledge. I’m not here to shame people who’ve used AI Art, but rather come together with others in the WoW RP community in order to bring awareness viable free & paid substitutes for people.

This post will be split into 3 sections: free, paid and DIY, each with an example! Links for each resource will be below.

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ Free Visuals ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

Below is a collect of 'doll' or 'dress up' sites that offer hundreds of different genres to dress up and create your own unique design with. Artists are constantly uploading new games all the time. Though majorly fem dominated, there are some good masc and andro ones!

Azalea’s Dolls

{Dress-Up}

https://www.azaleasdolls.com

Doll Divine

{Dress-Up}

https://www.dolldivine.com

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ Paid Visuals ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

OKAY B4 YOU GO OFF (｡Ŏ ᗜ Ŏ ̆ ｡)

You can find some affordable artists to commission on these sites and even pay WoW gold for some. I tried to accommodate for those who are probably like me and a poor ass college student. Just hear me out, homie-

Artists & Clients

{Commissions}

A freelancing site where you can hire from a number of artists. There's checks and balances in place to make sure either or doesn't get scammed. Different artists will have different rules, commissions, expectations, etc. My experience with it has been good so far though and you can find art for most budgets!

https://artistsnclients.com

Fivver

{Commissions}

Another freelance site where artists offer up their services. Fivver is a little hit-or-miss in my opinion and there are people offering AI Art commissions on here as well.

However, you can really find some hidden gems for good prices!

It’s not limited to art either! There's other services you can purchase as well.

https://www.fiverr.com

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ DIY ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

They say if you want something done, do it yourself! Below is my inner Pinterest girl having a love child with my Roleplayer. All of the tools/sites I've added below are free, so you won't have to worry about the cost of it. So get your impractical DIY on. ~(˘▾˘~)

Photo Editing

{Photography}

Not all of your references have to be drawn. You can edit photos to make your character! Hell, all you really need is MSPaint at most.

https://www.gimp.org

https://picsart.com

Moodboards

{Photography}

✨AeStHeTiC✨- Moodboards are like little collages you put together of photos that relate to your character! You can add snips of text, locations important to your OC, outfits, features, you name it! You can find tons of photos here on Tumblr for it, as well as Pinterest and Weheartit, then mush them together in an editing software!

https://www.pinterest.ca

https://weheartit.com/about/app

Face Claims

{Photography}

If you’re apart of the Tumblr crowd, you already know about these. It’s like, picking an actor for your OC in a way! There’s HUNDREDS of Tumblr accounts dedicated to cataloging public figures for face claims - by description too! I’ll put their accounts down below so you can all get some ideas!

Draw

{Art}

It sounds a little silly saying it, but genuinely try picking up art yourself! Draw your own character with your own little gremlin RP hands. Roleplay was a very big driving force for me learning art in my youth. All you need to pencil and paper! There’s also plenty of free drawing programs you can use as well when starting out!

Also check with your local community centres, as many often provide free or cheap art classes!

https://firealpaca.com

https://www.clipstudio.net/en/

https://krita.org/en/

I hope this post has been helpful and given people even more tools to enhance their roleplay experience.

Until my next masterpost (or shitpost). P.S Sorry it took so fuckin' long to make I'm a slow poke. o7

[mobolanz]

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool!!!) no pressure!!!! ur blog is awesome, enjoy!❤️

EM I LOVE YOU THIS IS SO SWEET ;W;

Okie let's go!:D

1. I personally find myself as someone with arather insightful outlook in quite a few areas. which is something I can appreciate and really helped me develop as a person. I often prefer to look at the bigger picture& other side of things. I think it also has a lot to do with why people find me sweet so I have a lot of appreciation to that 🤧 tbh a certain quote from middle school "you don't know what the other person's day is like beyond the moment" kinda stuck to me after seeing it printed on the hallway akcjajjfkskdjv

2. As of recently I did restore my positive opinion on my art! Just that I have bad time inserting it to my time management so I don't get to as often as I would to something more than pencil sketches, but when I do I put my heart to it and haven't really created anything I ended up hating recently.

3. I'd like to say my preferences/taste, like in aesthetics, media, music, clothing style etc. Funny thing my mom told me recently "somehow you always got your eye spotted on the prettiest things around" ✨💗

4. Despite my point at no.2 I'll add my task management & performance speed 😆 like I can't help be flustered when I finish something and my boss goes all "already?? Well that's fast, and on point."

5. Lastly would be my hair! Simple as that because I think it's looking great as it is :")

[weabooweedwitch]

Nah, man, sorry to say that but your mom is straight up blind. That dark lipstick goes super well with your dark hair and light complex. Don’t listen to your mother, and be proud of that fancy and great look you got there! 💅✨

THANK YOU because, ok, there are multiple reasons I'm kind of overly pissed lol. For one, personal opinions aside, it's like critiquing the main core of the idea? It's like, idk, going to a Glass Animals concert and saying "it would have been better without the stoner music" like girl thats the point? Am i phrasing this correctly 🤦‍♀️ its like someone asking how you like their job grooming a dog and you say "oh it would just be better if it wasnt a dog" and adding nothing else

Second, like, this is my first attempt doing a full look all on my own so im already nervous but also all the time and effort? I'm talking cleanser, toner, primer, eyeshadow primer, tinted moisturizer (found one that has like natural medium coverage in my exact shade and I feel like it might be good for my skin vs a foundation? Also just general testing what works for my oily skin), eyeshadow, mascara, a little eyebrow pencil wing for flavor lol, tried and failed at some contour and will have to try that again lol, and the main piece for me at least, the dark lipstick which is transfer proof by the way!! Which is a big win for me because lip products that come off your lips when you do anything are so temporary and just feel, weird? I had to scrub with micelluar water to get this off! (I think it's called Maybelline super stay matte ink lipstick. You have to wait for it to dry but goddamn I literally drank water and hit a bong after putting it on and it stayed soooo well, virtually nothing came off)

But yeah! It's. I think I've mentioned it before but a big part of this is like, I feel like I'm actually legitimately going through a combination quarter life crisis but also a maybe more positive significant shift in how I live my life idk? For the longest time i felt too ugly and heavy and gross and just subhuman to wear makeup and now that I've gotten older and more I guess life experienced and have lost weight I've started getting into it and it's been fun! It's like art you know, and it can be entertaining to find a makeup artists or influencer you like (I like Robert Walsh and his brother James, they're twins, a pro MUA and a dermatologist respectively). They also go from funny to educational so it's just idk, fun to scroll through the sheer mass of content. Also it's kind of just like art and painting when you think about it!

And like I did talk to her and she said I kind of misinterpreted what she said but it's still like, girl, please just lie and say it looks good next time. Like she thought I looked really good but she kept saying "the lipstick is just darker than I was expecting", which, yeah I could have gone more dark red, but I kinda just wanted to try something really dark but not black? I like the look and, ha, my male friend who's approval I've been a little gaga for said it looked good too so ❤️

I hope to make more looks in the future because it was fun, collect all sorts of nice pictures of different colors and styles. This whole deal today that I even put makeup on for was literally just to run errands, like get food and go to a smoke shop, because I don't get out much, but that's also part of the journey is that I hope to get out more and do more activities and wearing makeup during so will be a fun social thing you know? I'm being kind of wordy but you probably get it.

Also! I was inspired by like, this sort of color theory aesthetic video/clip I was seeing where they were showing "dark femininity vs light femininity" so it's like, pronounced brows, sharp/bold/dakr lipstick, bronzer contour, dark or smoky eyes, versus pink blush, lighter colors, glitters and shimmers, highlighted cheeks, you know? So my mom was kind of expecting light femininity when I was doing dark femininity. So her "main complaint" is actually for a look I want to do next 😅 but hey thanks for the support, this is actually so like, fascinating but complicated and nervewracking and also so much is subjective and I'm so unused to seeing myself like this that even though, realistically I looked good, I felt like a painted clown and like, a poser? A loser, idk. But the journey continues on :)

How to start your college journey

Starting college? Here are a few tips from a first year college student at 25

First, I think it’s really important that you have a designated study space. This space should be an at home office, library, or a desk at home that you are using just for school work. I have a desk in our spare bedroom that I use for only school work.

Always spruce up your space. Get some cute pens and pencils to have in a lil cup or pen holder. Make this space aesthetic! You’re gonna spend some time here might as well make it your own. I have some shelving I hung and added house plants and some cute ✨ trinkets ✨.

Learn to carve time out now, it will help you later. Grab a cute notebook or use your computer or iPad to start a notion page. I know that is super popular! I just use a todo notebook my mom got me for Christmas!

Have some good tunes to listen to! I love listening to Lofi or having a study with me vlog going on in the background.

Use a study technique! There are tons out there what i like to use is the pomodoro technique. I study for 50 minutes and take a 10 or 15 minute break. Do some research on different study techniques to see what will work best for you!

Create a goal for your first few months of class. I said I wanted to pass all of my classes with a b or better. Make sure that ur goal is actually achievable. You do not want to set urself up for failure!

My Work Space

One of my friends helped me finally work today so I thought I could show my working space. I'm really proud of how it turned out and since I'm moving out when my semester ends, I thought it helpful to keep a memory of it somewhere.

I know my pictures aren't the most aesthetically pleasing to look at, but I just wanted to keep a record as best as I could.

This is all I make a point of having in my workstation:

My computer and it's accessories. I got one of those mechanical ones that make sounds every time I'm working (bonus points for the colour model being called "chocolate"). Gives me an incentive to type more. I also got a mouse because my laptop's doesn't work very well. And whenever I draw, I can use my drawing tablet instead. Also a microphone because my laptop is absolutely shitting itself going through multiple organ failures and I'm surprised a senior like it still works well. I love my baby 🥰

My Laptop Stand™ by me because I made it out of a cardboard box and decorated it to look pretty. I may have a problem with aesthetics... But! It was essentially free and it does the job well. I also keep notepads, my pencil case, and fidget toys under there.

Pens in a handy spot. Selected to go with the colour scheme because, again, I have a problem. They're all in an old candle cup I filled with fake leaves because recycling is good and I may be a hoarder too but don't quote me on that. I try to keep a variety although I've been mostly using the same orange and gold glitter pens.

Water and drinks in general. I might show a full room tour later but one of the things that made my life 100x easier was having a hot chocolate/ oatmeal station in my room. For those days where it's hard to eat but I still need to take my meds. I just have a nice small portable kettle, some cups, a bowl and spoons that I sometimes have to force myself to wash downstairs because for some reason my brain thinks walking out my bedroom door is not a valid option. Also I like drinking hot chocolate while I work so that's a plus.

Google Speaker. It wakes me up and a̶n̶n̶o̶y̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶ helps me stay on track. I usually just play music in the background and put a video essay playing alongside it so I can feel less bored. I taught it to help me with routines, pomodoro timers, and getting ready to go out and time tracking when I dissociate. Some times are more effective than others but I like to hear the Family Bell jingles. And whenever I get random thoughts, instead of browsing on my phone and getting lost in the scrolling hell, I ask and it sometimes gives me my answer.

Candles. I need candles. It's one of those things that make me feel cozy no matter the weather. And I may have too many I collect so I better use them. My favourite smells are pumpkin spice and apple and very autumnal sweet ones because they remind me of the holiday season. I also tried cake scented but those just make me hungry and craving food I don't have. I have wax melts but restrict myself to only one candle so I make sure to economise their use. Also they make great lights!

Last but not least: Lights! I used to work during the night when quarantine struck and I found my optimal work times were from 4am to 9am. Which meant, coloured lights helped my brain suddenly decide to focus. Too bad I have to stick to a functional routine now. I still try to wake up at least at 6am but it's not the same. Though the sunrise is good enough to watch.

Other things that I add for fun are decorations like vines and leaves. Also practically stuff like a coaster for the hot drinks and a kitchen rag that I use to both elevate my keyboard but also to cover it so it doesn't get any mess when I eat.

Other than that I'm not sure what else. Hopefully future me gets to decorate their own place with knick-knacks and pretty shiny things too. And if you're reading this from that future, know that I'm proud we got this far. We can do it!✨

hihi! If you're still taking requests, could i ask for eddie munson x reader with an s/o who's more of a kawaii pastel aesthetic? (Or as close to that aesthetic as you can get in that time period, i just really like the aesthetic dynamic 🙏✨) bonus points if the reader is shy/softspoken

i'm not too familiar with this aesthetic, but hopefully this works for you, let me know what you think! i tried to lean into the shy!reader <3 | 1.2k, fem!reader

Eddie has been waiting all day to come home to you. He's been picturing it -- maybe you'll be wearing that teal sweater he's obsessed with, your hands peaking out of the overlong sleeves, pink ribbons in your hair. If he's lucky you'll be in knee socks. His mouth waters at the thought. 

"Babe, you here?" he calls into the trailer.

"Hi, Eddie!" Your voice floats out from his bedroom. 

As always, you're even better in person than he imagined. You're crosslegged in his bed, sketchpad in your lap and tongue out in concentration. He was right about the socks, but you're in a pink sweater with clouds on it. And while the ribbons he's been giving you are nowhere to be found, he sees what looks like a pale purple streak in your hair. It matches your eyeshadow choice for today, and the little star you've drawn at the corner of your brow.

"What's this?" he reaches out to run it through his fingers, dropping a kiss on your cheek as he does so. You think he's talking about your drawing, so you pull it to your chest and look up at him, wide-eyed. He notices, but one thing at a time. You're still shy with him, and he knows that'll never change, but it makes you all the more lovable. 

"Oh," you breathe out, then shrug. "Got bored so I tried some box dye. You like it?" He grins.

"It's kind of metal," he teases. You crinkle your nose at him.

"No, it's cute!" He laughs full and loud and you flush at the sound you've caused. You know he's not laughing at you, you've just made him happy. 

"It is cute, sweetheart. You're always cute." Eddie moves away from you to toe off his shoes and putter around the room, giving you a bit of space before he asks you about the drawing. There are traces of you everywhere, spots of color and sweetness in a space he's always thought of as a bit lacking. Ribbons and colorful beaded bracelets on his dresser, pencils and markers and the adorable little cards you buy for him tucked between textbooks and into his D&D binders. If he opened his drawers, he knows he'd find some of the small stuffed animals you seem to accumulate -- he's bought a few for you for your upcoming birthday, buried them under his sweatshirts. 

He doesn't know why you decided that he was the one you wanted to love. But Eddie is not one to question his luck. He loves the way you've brightened his life with your quiet smile and gentle colors, your kindness and your love of pretty things. He doesn't mind being soft for you. 

"How was your day?" you ask him. He peeks at you, and you're back at work on whatever is in your lap. 

"Oh, you know. Trying to make it to the end of high school. Again." He rambles about what he thinks of the book he's reading for English, how he wishes there was more fantasy on the curriculum. He tells you how Dustin started working on his own campaign and how the Byers kid is going to come visit and play with Hellfire. 

"Eddie," you ask suddenly. "Can I show you something?" He turns to you from where he's fixing his hair, abandoning his train of thought immediately. 

"Me?" he feigns surprise. You giggle, waving him over to the bed where he smushes next to you, filling your space with his cigarette smell. You breathe deep, drawling pad clutched tight. 

"Show me, sweet thing," he says gently. You look at the ceiling and twist your fingers together. 

"Well, I thought I'd try to draw Hellfire," you blurt out. "But I know my style isn't really good for D&D, so I don't know if you'll like it but --"

"I love your drawings," Eddie interrupts, a hand on your chin to drag your eyes to his. "You drew us? Really?"

"Well, kind of," you mutter, slowly turning the pad to show him. His eyes go wide and he makes a grabby motion with his hands. He doesn't know what to look at first, aware you're watching him as he takes it all in. You usually draw sweet, delicate things, with big eyes and small bodies, sparkles and laughter and caricature. But he sees that you've tried something harsher here, darker lines and more realistic features. 

You've drawn everyone's characters, the whole club. Jeff and Gareth's next to Lucas's and Mike's. He laughs at Erica's Lady Applejack on the shoulders of Dustin's character. And behind them all is Eddie in his throne. It manages to be a sweet drawing, but he knows you must have peeked at his notes and character sheets to get the details right. 

"Baby," he breathes out. "This is amazing!" He's so excited he can't help but shout at the end. You shift away from the noise but laugh. "Can I bring it to them? Can I show them?" He knows you're shy about your art with anyone but him, but he has to show this off. He has to show them how fucking brilliant you are. 

"Oh, I don't know," you say, standing from the bed to stretch. Your skirt has ridden up and he gets a nice view of the expanse of your thighs. You let him look. 

"C'mon, you know I'm not above getting on my knees," Eddie smirks, moving to do just that on the bed. "It's just so good!" 

"Fine," you surrender. "Show them." You know that the club likes you, thinks you're good for Eddie, and how can you not let him when he's so excited?

"And what's this?" he cries, having flipped to the next page of your book. There's no quieting him now that he's seen your other project. It's just him this time, a version of him sitting in the throne from the previous drawing. He's in your usual style, all cute and cartoon-like, smiling wide. He knows you draw him, but it's another thing entirely to see how much care you've put into the likeness.

"You're just so pretty, Eddie," you whine, coming back to the bed, evidently deciding not to be shy about this. You bring your fingertips to his cheeks, ghosting over his smooth skin, tucking his hair behind his ears. You smell like peaches. "I can't help but draw you. And I know we're so different, but I love to see you soft sometimes." He grins. You are different, he thinks, but he loves it. Loves knowing that you're balancing him out, loves that on the outside you might not make sense to anyone else. 

"You're the pretty one, sweet thing," he says, nuzzling into your palm. "Always soft for you."

You sigh and lean in for a quick kiss that he turns into something deeper. He can't get enough of you, his bright, wonderful girl. An idea pulls him away from you and you chase his lips with a small moan. 

"Can you draw yourself for me, hm? So I can carry it around and keep you close?" he asks, nipping at your earlobe. 

"Sure, Eds," you say, not in the habit of refusing him, shyness fading away at your closeness. "Whatever you want."

"That's my girl."

Okay yeah it’s about time I did this.

Alan Davis/Paul Neary Joker Appreciation Post, Bay Bay

Let’s all take a moment to just sit and look at this. No, really. Sit down.

Look.

This design embodies literally everything. His flamboyancy, theatrical mannerisms, his over-the-top attitude, his… uh… beauty?

(Short little spew right here in regards to Joker’s attractiveness or looks in general: honestly my view on Joker is that he has chemical burns but also applies makeup for numerous reasons, a couple examples being that he just likes it, makeup is empowering for him because he wants to take his skin condition, which absolutely had to have left him with chronic pain and constant reminders that he stands out and looks different from the average person, and uses it with the combination of makeup to his advantage for coping, his aesthetic tastes, and persona. I’m pretty sure I could have worded that better, lol)

ANYWAYS. Continuing with my rant about this Joker and his design’s perfectly embodied aspects.

I love his pencil body; you could shake him and he would sound like a damn Minecraft skeleton. You could blow on him and he would fly away 10 blocks like a Gmod rag doll. You could poke him and he would crumble like a saltine cracker.

His EYES. His LASHES. His HAIR. GOD. HIS CLOTHES.

I am very normal about his design.

This Joker is also ✨very funny✨

I love how this goober is constantly coughing his lungs up laughing, his head is gonna friggin explode. It’s contagious, my god. I love how he throws his arms over his head, you can tell he’s having a great time. Every single page he is on I was smiling like an idiot and giggling like a loser because he was so fun and chaotic and just FULL of energy. THE GIANT-BUCKET-AT-THOSE-WATER-PARKS FULL OF CHARISMA IS THERE.

I love him.

Okay let’s also sit down and pretend we are making eye contact here. What people find intimidating varies from person to person, but this Joker did a great job at unnerving me. And dammit, I think it’s the eyes. I’m gonna show this panel again:

His face kinda shivers me timbers. Maybe it’s the eyes?? The mouth (his lips be glistening)??

This panel didn’t exactly unsettle me I guess, but dang his expression here is golden. Just wanted to appreciate that.

Also them cheekbones. Fabulous.

He’s just fabulous, okay? Dangerously and scarily fabulous.

Sorry. Anyways. As I take a long swig of the only thing keeping me happy, let me bring up the fact that he absolutely feels turbulent and, well, a threat. Joker is an unstable and unpredictable character and they knock it out of the ball park with showing that via dialogue and visuals.

(Not trying to come off as “omg, he’s so crazy, look at him”, or that mentally unstable people are automatically a threat, it’s just a part of his character in this case and I’m absolutely not attempting to romanticize or demonize mental illness. I don’t condone that. Just worried that someone will read that part of the analysis and get that impression)

Not exactly commenting on his design, but this panel right here:

Please clap for the writing and Batjokes moment.

But yeah. Coming to a close here (bad at endings, sorry for the abruptness):

What I’m trying to say is that this Joker, in my opinion, achieves that perfect balance of intimidating villain and flamboyant tRiCKsTeR.

Make a figure of him now.

Onward Fan Art Shout Out - 8

Theme: Brotherly Love 💙💜

Annnnnd...we're back! Myself and this series!

For this glorious return, I'm highlighting Ian and Barley and how much they love and care for each other as brothers! If I had to pinpoint the one thing that makes this adventurous, exciting, magical world of wonder feel safe and warm to me, it's their beautiful brotherly bond and how it developed throughout the film! It doesn't take a genius to see that these elf bois mean a lot to me. Their story is just amazing and I've made it my goal everyday to spread my love for them and their world because they deserve so much and more! And this is coming from someone with an older sister who I want to say right now is the best older sister I could ever ask for! We may be on opposite sides of the country, but our sisterly bond is strong and I am forever grateful that she's always been a part of my life too 💕

But I also want to dedicate this post to a group of people who have always been there for me since day one of joining this fandom: The Quest Masters! (you know who you are 😉) I know I practically dedicate these posts to you guys every week but I want to this week especially because I did leave for almost two weeks believing that I was too much or not enough for you guys. But this week I realized that we are all valuable members of this fandom! Each and every one of us has so much to share with each other and it's all really amazing! So from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for having my back and know that I will always have yours too ✨

Now ONWARD to the fan art!

hallejadeart - this drawing is really cute! the marker really captures the charm of their brotherly bond and in how far they've come!

andrea_sun_drawing - Ian's embrace and smile in this piece says: "I love you, Barley. Thanks for always being there for me." The excellent use of shadow and the perspective says it all 🥹

👻🎃HALLOWEEN🎃👻Shop Update October 2021✨

Halloween always ends up being the biggest update, as I see the garish, candy colored, spooky but adorable aesthetic one of the main cornerstones of the shop, and I always savor my most exquisitely tricky treats for this time of the year. These products are going up in the shop over the course of the next three days, until Halloween. In the meantime, let me show you a little teaser for everything.

Let's start with what I'm the most excited to tell you about: these amazing tarot card charms that you may get to wear both in earring and necklace form. They are based on the original Rider-Waite-Smith deck and look just like the real thing, except more durable and smaller. At this moment, I have every Major Arcana card available as well as the unforgettable heartbreaker, the Three of Swords. But the stock is limited, so make sure to come check it out and grab your favourite before it's sold out.

There are two listings with cute and sparkly, forbidden candy charms that I didn't hand-pour myself but I felt they magnificently fit with the aesthetic I was going for. Hence they are quite affordable but still just as flashy, if you are looking for something in the lower price ranges. These semi-heart-shaped pendants (I would like to think that they are intended as planchettes though I'm not sure) come in the entire spectrum of the rainbow and many different glittery variants. Or check out this absolutely adorable pair of witchy familiars. All of these are available either as earrings or pendant.

If you remember the fruit cocktail earrings from the summer update, I will make a new version of this, with nothing changed except that instead of fruit slices it's SPOOKY EDITION with Halloween-themed sprinkles.

I was really excited for these adorable Halloween-themed bezels. At the end, I paired most of them up as asymmetrical earrings, and filled them with glow in the dark resin. The moon pendant was the Chosen One™ as it ended up being the centerpiece of a jewelry set that simultaneously looks like the least classy and yet most extravagant thing ever. This is exactly why I named it after a carnival. At any rate, my heart was truly in it - everything but the acrylic chain was hand assembled from scratch, and every piece of this set that is of resin, including the beads, was handmade.

I came up with this new product idea, for those who would also like to spice up their outfit or surroundings with some colorful goodness but they themselves don't wear jewelry. Hence I made these clip charms that you can put on your keychain, bag, pencil case etc. I made three for starters, just to show what they could be like, but if you want you can get a personalized one in your choice of color(s). Almost everything you see in my shop as jewelry can be made into a clip charm as long as they are in stock, so don't be shy contacting me with your ideas.

Let it be said that Táltos Trinkets supports vagabonds of all shapes and sizes; there is no trick too subtle, or trickster too small, that we would not seek to supply. Take some of our hidden aces for the road, to make sure you always have enough for your playing card based deceptions.

Of course, I physically cannot hold myself back from making at least one thing for every update that glows in the dark and this time round we have PLENTY. I am absolutely thrilled to let you know, that the "Eavesdrops" stud earring collection, aka. the Forbidden Cereal, is extended by as many as 22(!) new shapes.

This is something that I think many of you will love: I have opened my own miniature apothecary and am now offering glowing potions in several shapes and sizes. They don't come imbued with any sort of magical property or anything, but I think they would make an amazing spirit vessel or talisman.

Something equally witchy but already familiar, the "snearrings" are also making a shiny and glorious comeback.

I also made a whole bunch of large ouija planchette shaped pendants. These are completely handmade from scratch (minus the pattern, which I didn't carve or design but I did overpaint it by hand). There are two collections. One is metal colored and has a cool, murky, marble-like effect overall (for the classic sepia edgy-witchy aesthetic) and the other is holographic sparkle infused pastel (for my more modern, cute fairy kei, technowitch types of peeps - I see you!).

Technically not strictly Halloween themed but it's been in the works for a long time and it did get finished, so. Here is a new widely customizable item: earrings or necklace with your own personalized 8-bit letters for a cute and campy cyberpunk look. I made all of the examples say "GAME OVER" but you can have any text that you want.... well, within reason LOL. Unfortunately the "medium" has some constraints but about 4 letters per earring is ideal, and I could probably get around fitting up to 18 letters on a single necklace if it can be layered. These are available both in "normal" and glow in the dark versions, ofc.

And last but most importantly - this is without a doubt my personal favourite. A pair of ghosts, one with an adorable smile and the other with a mischievous grin. They come in pairs as an earring, but you can get either of them as a necklace, or even a clip charm.

Thank you for sticking around for my spooky tour, and I hope you enjoyed this update! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻✨🍬🔮🕯️🍭

PS. If you order something Halloween themed, be assured that it will be packed accordingly. Lol

🤝✨👗😇 for diana!

[🤝] how does your muse approach intimacy? are they hesitant or do they like it? what types of intimacy do they like and dislike? (ex. physical intimacy, sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, etc.)

in terms of emotional intimacy, she is extremely hesitant to it, but not so much so with physical and sexual intimacy. i wouldn’t say there’s any she doesn’t like, it just takes a lot longer in some aspects. this is a really interesting one i feel because the answers are so varied. it takes a long time for her to trust someone, and she’s not all that comfortable with talking about her feelings. love is something she also has a lot of trouble with, she’s just not one to really show her emotions often. physical intimacy comes more natural to her. although she’s not one for public displays of affection, she loves the closeness of someone she adores and the small, fleeting touches. the casual intimacy of it all… the hugs from behind. a hand on a thigh, arm or lower back. kisses to cheeks or the back of a hand. unexpected massages. and this all goes for giving and receiving. uh. she also just really loves good old passionate sex okay? hand holding or looking into each other’s eyes is a must

[✨] what aesthetics or symbols do you reference when writing your muse? are these backed up by canon, if your muse comes from a canon? is there any specific relevance to these choices?

snakes snakes snakes. besides her fascination with reptiles from a young age, the symbolism of snakes obviously ties directly to the uroboros plan – snakes are the symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality and healing. some also associate them with evil and lies. in terms of aesthetics... pearls. silk blouses. black lace. button down shirts. test tubes and beakers. lab coats. syringes. slides and petri dishes. raven hair. pointed toe heels. marble sculptures. colours are typically black, white, and hints of like a dusty kinda teal?

[👗] what is your muse's fashion sense like? are they able to dress the way they want to? what would they wear in an ideal world?

i mean i think i kinda alluded to this with her aesthetics but will go in more depth of course! i don’t know names for fashion styles so bear with me, but think like sophisticated and elegant? the heels are important – pointed toes always! pumps and slingbacks. if she’s wearing boots, you bet there’s a stiletto heel there. silk blouses and button down shirts. pencil skirts or cigarette pants. leather coats. blazers. lace or sheer stockings. mainly white and/or black. pearls and gold for accessories. think like large studs or drop earrings. thin bracelets and chokers. and yes, she’s definitely able to wear what she wants considering her upbringing and how lucrative her job is plus wesker’s

[😇] what would your muse do if they became a god?

hehehe the right to become a god, you say? if she was to become a god – well first of all, that’s a terrifying concept considering that’s what she and wesker basically saw themselves as. gods amongst men – i honestly think she would be focused on the advancement of humans, while of course having people bow down to her. like to eliminate disease and perhaps make life expectancy longer (not immortal though of course, that’s only for the gods). reduce morbidity and mortality rates, but also probably lower fertility honestly cause. uh. the whole line he has of overpopulation comes to mind. i’m not really sure actually. like i doubt she’d really be one to give to her devotees. she’d probably just enjoy omnipotence

send in an emoji and i'll answer the corresponding question about my muse!
