one of my favorite kinds of doodle: take the letters that spell out the name of a thing and use them to create the shape of that thing!!! (if you can't read any of these, they will be written out below <3)

going top down, left to right:

bone; butterfly; bee; joy; moth

kitty cat; snail; love; spongebob squarepants

eye; puppy dog; candy; wally darling; dolphin

hand; the element of kindness; lollypop; pencil

#dandy's doodles #word art #<- is that what it's called?#spongebob squarepants #fluttershy #wally darling #kin #not heavily tagging those guys cuz it seems unnecessary #anyway. i started doing this after being inspired by an artist friend at school #who would do this with the word fish and draw it everywhere (including the school desks!)#the first design i made was the bone one. and now i just love to doodle like this #it's such a fun exercise of creativity - in both drawing and writing letters #which letters will go where in the shape? how much can i distort this letter and still have it recognizable?#the shape and the letters then go hand in hand to form meaning #even if a letter is a bit squashed and misshapen you can still read it based on the word the shape represents #like yeah the b in bone looks really weird but you can tell it's a b because it's a bone #and the same goes for the d in hand #i think the hardest to read is moth. it was so hard to squish the letters in there #i'd recommend trying this out!!#a nice and challenging exercise is using a more complicated shape with a longer phrase #that's what i did with fluttershy and that turned out really cool!!! well i think so anyway :]

The official lore: everlux are very social archivists and they are the reason Light has so much written history preserved

Me: this is Krieltjes (tiny potatoes) and he's a literal orange cat :) he stares that the library ghost a lot

#the ghost thinks this is rude but isnt otherwise bothered #the ghost is also a moth. which makes them even more susceptible for getting stared at by a cat #not like. literal literal cat but the Vibe yknow #chatter tag #dragon share #krieltjes #ftr i love the official lore but this is an orange cat look at him

Cringetober Prompt 2: Tsundere Had Steins;Gate on my mind a lot recently so here is a Kurisu Makise.

#steins;gate is complicated for me to recommend because while I feel like the time travel plot elements were super interesting #it suffers from a lot of typical 2010 anime tropes (transmisogyny male gaze fixation and slightly uncomfy romanticized age gaps)#basically the typical stuff that most 2010 animes had going for them #nonetheless it is a bit of a nostalgic show from when I was in high school and I always thought makise was cool #I tried to make her look more tired lmao #she is a child prodigy in grad school I'm thinking she started her caffeine addiction young yk her ass is not sleeping #cringetober #cringetober 2024 #steins;gate #makise kurisu #fanart #my art #moth art

mfs do anything but finish their wips . like startign another, for example

#trigun sky au. because i can.#light-guide (mainly) vash . usually assumed to be either isle or valley born. witnessed the fall #realm-guide wolfwood . isle born. very fond of moths/sparrows #vault scribes(?) meryl and milly . both vault born but people sometimes assume milly to be of prairie. they document spirit tradition-#slash seasons slash events idk anyting to do w preservation im thinking #knives and vash are light twins...#eden-guide knives... people assume hes vault born or somethinf. also witnessed the fall and is not very fond of spirits #hes a huge fucking fan of both creatures of light and darkness though #slander a dark dragon near him he will jump you . slash jay. . slash not j #angry at the whole industrialization thing that turned forest to what it is #see the fun thing about taking a game that doesnt have very very deep lore sans concept art (WHIHCH IM STILL SO FUCKING SAD ABT. ITS SO???)#is that you can just throw whatever at it to your liking #FOR EXAMPLE. SHARD RAINS? THAT WAS PART OF MY SKY UNIVERSE WAY BEFORE SHATTERING . THAT WAS WHAT CAUSSED THE FALL PARTIALLY SHFJHFHG #anyways s more or less implied that there was some form of mineral extraction in forest #and the rain there has literally no reason to drain your light . waters fine and everythnig. so something happened #and the trees looking so dead etc presence of crabs and gloomy skies in contrast to the brighter ones of previous areas #vash and knives occasionally do eden guiding together #iuhhhhhdk . i think wolfwood would but specifically for skykids who are going through their first run #milly and meryl at the season of remembrance..#meryl fond of valley races in secret milly big fan of tournaments they both ice skate at the dreams village and visit performance theater #because i SAY SO #brad luida home. vault born mostly vault dwellers see season of remembrance. uh idk big on trying to understand and improve technology #and contraptions left behind by spirits #“wow mr vash mr knives . you both sure do know the ins and outs of the realms!” and they both give eachother looks like WE WERE THERE WHEN #THE KINGDOM IN THE SKY FELL #rems a spirit beeteedubs .#twins thought they were the first skykids. stage whisper tesla #mhhhhhh vash loses his arm to a shard....#think. the plant trio all have like... a higher concentration of light than even creatures of light themselves #gate equivalent ig?

Oh, your love is sunlight

Happy (late) Valentine's Day (version without text ↓ +description in tags)

#east blue asylum wing au #zosan #zoro x sanji #zs #first off if its bad quality - it's a huge canvas and it's more pixelated if i try to export the picture than if I screenshot so... :/#I sometimes like assigning songs to different dynamics and or characters I play around with and I've been recently listening to #a lot of Hozier again and I'd like to think that Sunlight is how Zoro sees Sanji - he is Icarus flying to the sun and he is willing to get #burned if only to reach the sunlight - it's a deathtrap... because of course it is... all attachments are but Sanji's love is the death tra #that he welcomes like a moth to a flame because even Icarus felt the bliss and freedom before his wax melted #I haven't depicted it here but Sanji's Hozier song for Zoro would probably be NFWMB because in his eyes Zoro is this untouchable force #that would watch the world go up in flames and when the time Sanji wouldn't mind being a tree just to fuel his fire (im well aware how #cheesy that sounds just bare with me... or better yet listen to the song its really good trust me ok?)#the world starts and ends with him and where they lay #and their shared Hozier song is Francesca because if anything in this au zosan are two lovers stuck in Dante's inferno and sprinting back i #only for the chance to get back to their lover and if that meant going back into hell to look for each other then so be it #there's a part of the song that goes “My life was a storm / Since I was born / How could I fear any hurricane?” which is pretty fitting imo #op #fan art #my art

Found the old alt sketch and cleaned it up a little 💫

#got distracted looking at butterflies…#prefer moth wings but there’s just not as much colour variation </3 #the pants were inspired by antler princes I don’t think I’ve ever seen pants like that before but now I’m obsessed #tho this outfit was supposed to be more like. formal? not sure how settled I am on it. still like the other outfit for casual tho <3 #also dk if I prefer horns and skeletal wings or antlers and butterfly wings…the antler v horns debate has been long running in my mind </3 #and the digigrade legs…I love them but idk. maybe they can be OH #OH #maybe the first design could be Edge’s and this could be Lace’s !#hmmm #wips in the sun #snow and hail

By unpopular demand, 💕 Val

#hazbin hotel #Valentino #the vees #here he be #Valentino in my own style #I didn’t want to draw his wings as a coat because he wouldn’t look much different #and then I decided naked was more on brand ahaha #listen he is a moth AND he is from the seventies he SHOULD have atleast some body hair #I shaded him so much you can’t even see everything but I had so so so much fun with this #I’m embarrassed to say how long I spent on it when he isn’t even my favourite bee #but I do actually like him he’s a great villain #and I love that he genuinely believes everyone just loves him he’s so deluxe #he’s like velveteen and fox’s pet cat but he also runs the house ahahahaha #anyway here he is #I haven’t marked it as mature because he kindly censored himself #what a good boy….#don’t….#don’t think into the smoke and drool too much….#can’t believe this turned into a bit of a thirst trap but also I can #he kindly whispered in my ear to give him some piercings

Halloween bugs. I liked the idea of a candy corn moth and jack-o’-lantern ladybug.

Why is it that the framing on my bug art feels impossible to get right.

#Halloween #bugblr #insect art #bug art #I tried to make the ladybug larvae look like chocolate peanut butter but I lost it #I don’t think I had a good enough idea for it #ladybug #moth #gummy woirm catterpitter…#I could have made the ladybug larvae cuter I feel.. hnggrrr #more of a collection of doodles than a thought out pic but I haven’t seen the concept before so -shrug-

Title: "flash-frozen in the driver's seat" Fandom: Midst (Podcast) Categories: G, Gen, No Archive Warnings Apply, Complete Word Count: 3613 Characters: Phineas Thatch, Tzila Guthrie

“Why do you have that?” Tzila asks. Phineas opens his eyes. She’s pointing at his abacus with the back of her pen. He looks down at it and frowns. “It’s my abacus.” “I know what an abacus is,” says Tzila, rolling her eyes. “Why do you have Caenum? Didn’t being a soldier and solving mysteries or whatever get you a ton of Valor?” Phineas and Tzila have a conversation in the quiet halls of the Lazaretto.

(hi everyone it's ME again! back with another midst missing scene i couldn't stop thinking about.)

#midst #midst podcast #my writing #i like phineas so much and i think his season 2 pre-moth headspace is. well. it's terrible in a way that i find compelling #and i think tzila's 'you were pretending to be my friend!' in 2.15 implies that they'd hung out more than we see in canon #AND i think tzila's relationship with the trust is potentially SUPER interesting #in that way that when you're twelve you're very sure you know what's right but it's often so influenced by what your parents/#people you look up to tell you about what's right. but on the other hand! she misses the highest light! she grew up there!#also i do love miscommunication plots. i think all the things tzila and phineas and lark are not #saying to each other and not understanding about each other in season two are super fun to write dialogue around #so anyway here's this hope you like it <3 #also i really included SO many Proper Nouns in this summary without even noticing it asljsldkjflksj #yeah yeah we all know what valor and caenum and abacus and lazaretto mean
