[allthefujoshiunite]

Sorry I hit the ask button before finishing. My fav trope are age gap ( > 5 years and even more), height difference and teacher-student relationship. Do you have any BL that fits either or mix of the above? I don't mind smut (explicit) but not a fan of pwp (just smut story).

Again, sorry if I'm too demanding, hope you have a good day @allthefujoshiunite 🍀🌼

Aaand we’re back. You literally listed some of my fave tropes there so BOY do I have recommendations! Not a fan of PWP either, so rest assured.

Let’s get this party started ~

Age gap + height difference + teacher/student

Young Bad Education (Dayoo): I fell in love with Mizusawa’s eyes on the cover and bought the volume in Japanese years ago without an ounce of idea what the story was about. No regrets. Young Bad Education and its continuation Young Good Boyfriend will feed your soul. You can read it on Manga Planet (Futekiya).

Hitorijime My Hero (Memeco Arii): This title is a classic so you might have already seen it but just in case. Hitorijime My Hero has an anime adaptation as well (I’m anime-only) and the manga has a spin-off with the side couple as far as I know. The height difference is less pronounced here but if you’re like me and you love delinquents as well, this will be your jam.

The Trees in Spring (Nakaoka Naka): I’m kind of cheating but I’ll do anything to recommend this title! MCs here are a teacher and student, but the teacher isn’t teaching the student, they meet each other in a different way. I have reviewed this title before and take any chance I can get to recommend it, so there you go!

Age gap + teacher/student

Warbler, Sing of Spring (Nago Nayuta): I felt like they don’t have height difference (and checked the first chapter again) but the MCs are always drawn in weird angles so I’m not sure. Another title with the delinquent sprinkled on top. Really enjoyed reading this, Nago Nayuta’s works have a cuteness I like and the uke in Warbler is kind of unhinged xD Love him!

The Neighbor I Desire (Makoto): This one started off a bit weird for me but I can assure you it’s super cute! I have written a review before so if you want more details, here you go.

The Good Teacher (Eeej): Another title I reviewed before. It’s pretty, fun but short and while the plot is not this series’ strongest point, I think it’s worth giving a shot.

Age gap + height difference

Love for Sale (Dal Hyeon-ji): It’s official, you guys. I will literally disintegrate if I don’t recommend Love for Sale, the doctor said it not me. But honestly, do yourself a solid one and read it if you still haven’t. The pinnacle of ultimate goodness. I wrote on LfS before but since the post contaşns spoilers and is more about sugar dating than a review, I’ll spare you the link. On Lezhin.

Love Me Doctor (ANA): Another series I constantly recommended on Twitter and got a couple of unassuming, kind-hesrted people to read it with me as well. Focuses on a university student and a urology doctor he had tovisit for his ED. If you’re comfortable reading a title where a doctor kind of uses his position to get to know a patient and stepping over boundaries, please give it a chance! TOTALLY worth the time. On Lezhin.

On or Off (A1): Can’t say I understood the drama with the artist and the series being wrapped up rather quickly, but I read this popular webtoon with joy! Not as big of a fan as the rest of the BL fans but if youdig these two tropes I think it’s worth checking out. On Tappytoon, but I think TOKYOPOP has released it in print.

Metro (Chika Hongo): This is more of a dramatic title, where a high school student is being touched regularly by the same man on the train and he likes it, until one day he follows him home upon being invited. If you prefer a story that’s laced with trauma and flawed characters, this is for you! On Manga Planet.

Pound Cake on a Sunday (Amida Shizuku): Man this series is SUPER funny that I had to reread today! A father and son lives alone after the mother’s passing and one day, out of the blue, the father starts complimenting the new transfer to the company about how he’s so beautiful or saying how shiny his hair is. Is his father gay? Did he finally lose it? Read and find out! Very different from your usual BL, worth your time!

Bonus - I’m a Dom and I Want You To Stroke My Head (KINACO): Has dom/sub universe (a big fan) height difference as well, but it’s a teacher x teacher pairing.

Whew! Sorry it took a lot of time to write because it’s not so easy to format these posts on the app, it seems. I hope you like my selection and as always, let me know if you liked anything from the list! I’m always eager to know what people think after reading something I’ve recommended. See you around!

Hold on tight to yourself, not just anyone else When you've sailed to the edge, nowhere left to go

I've talked about my experimental light and water shooting in last week's wip wednesday, and I'm here to finally share some fave pics xD I have more, and I might post some on a separate occasion or just use them for OC ask stuff where they fit, we'll see!!

Vince is someone who often asks himself where his place in the universe is, even more so growing up, but the doubts keep creeping in again now and then regardless of how much more confident he is now in his own abilities and goals. I kind of wanted to capture this feeling of being lost, just floating for a while as you try to figure things out here... and play with light and color.

I didn't really take any behind the scenes pics for this (I should really start doing that) but I made some shitty sketches just now with my mouse cause I mentioned I wanted to illustrate how I did this xD Also for my personal reference, cause I wanna do something similar, slightly different for another project in the future!!

Very simply, this was the setup xD I used Denny's pool as location, mainly because it was the first that came to mind, had a decent size, and I wanted to do some stuff there anyway xD I think you could pull this off in any other pool or body of water just as well. Originally I wanted to keep the normal pool background, but then I spawned in a black wall from the photostudio props to block out the sunlight and get a darker backdrop, and I really liked that!!

I had three customizable point lights spawned, a red one below V, a purple and greenish one above him - I don't remember the exact placements, I mainly just wanted a nice color contrast and I like those colors and played around with where I put them!

Something like this!

Now, the ripple effect of the water...... I had V spawned in via AMM, and so Player!V was also still there in the scne, so I just ran around his spawned self a little bit to create the splashes xD And voila!

I always take my pics just in in good old vanilla photomode, and at first I had pathtracing on for it (raytracing is also on). And I did like that as well, but look at these unedited pics:

The reflections look a lot more natural and detailed, but are also waaaayyy less colorful. So if you wanna go for a more realistic approach that might be the better option! Everything else is the same, lights, backdrop, etc.

These are some unedited shots with pathtracing off (raytracing still on):

The lights kind of create this oil-spill like effect on the water and I loooove that so much!! Also, the red light from below was reflected in his eyes in a really cool way somehow (less realistic, but very aesthetic xD)

So yeah! If your graphics card can handle it, mess with all the ray/pathtracing settings a bit for a variety of effects xD

Also, all my pics are usually heavily edited in case you couldn't tell XD I love vanilla photomode for its convenience, but it has its limits when it comes to color adjustments, depth of field, and the like!

Same shot, unedited above, edited below. Played with color balance, saturation, sharpness, and in some of the pics some slight motion blur, too. I also shopped in his top surgery scars cause I didn't get around to trying to make them as a mod yet but it's on my list XD For more of them artsy pics with consistent looking scars!

Thanks for reading this far, I do hope it was interesting and you can take something away from it for your VP XD

[alukaforyou]

[grahamcarmen]

Hi, I hope you're doing great, and I hope this isn't weird but you seem to really hate season 3's ending, and I was wondering why cause personally I've always liked it.

i'm doing well enough !!! XD thanks and i hope you are too!!

I'm sorry to report that it is almost entirely irrational.

when it comes to theming its a conclusion that underlines the necessity of VILE being uncovered for the villains they are to the world when they've been so successfully in the shadows so far and the imminent undeniability of Carmen's own goodness in the coming season going along with the mask themes of that seasons: RIP THE MASK OFF TO REVEAL WHATS INSIDE! [darkest part music plays]

timeline wise its the second proof needed for Chase to completely confirm what Carmen let him know, that she is on the side fighting against people like roundabout and thus someone he needs to help not chase*(ha) around and make her life harder

fun tidbits wise: one of the all time shadowsan moments where he just dwarves whatever ego roundabout has in his abilities with his own experience " i was yakuza", zack and ivy in mustaches, carmen going sorry mate when she steals from le chevre, and gray being the ending note <3333 [my squishy fave i love him made me so happy to get that crumb in the gray desert that was s3] AND CARMEN IN GREEN AND BLUE AND SUNGLASSES AND LOCKPICKING!

hero win wise it actually is a big deal that its not just hurting their wallets and neutralizing their malicious deeds that she accomplishes this time, its taking out their tool for allowing them to bounce right back into the real world like weeds

looks wise i think it might be in the upper half of the series for me

but...

very funny to note that you sent this when my queue had spit out my trap gifset! /because lowkey thats probably the cause of my irritation

there is a constant enough through-line in the show about traps and being captured that happens often enough in the series that it caught my attention.

usually the mention of a trap is more to emphasize carmen's own daring and altruism as it doesn't matter if its a trap because there's something more important at stake so i don't pay it more mind than that-> Carmen will go because its worth fighting against any odds to do whats right

and it isn't like carmen is infallible shown by how many times she has been in genuine danger by getting trapped by VILE because she's outnumbered, outmatched, or her own caring is her undoing, this actually just happens in normal missions more often [with the brunt trap being the bigger outlier in the moment with roudabout SUPPOSEDLY THE NEXT...the actual next time is during julia's rescue for a little]

so. Odds CAN be stacked against her and sometimes it might be too much for her [see even within this season where lupe helps her with brunt and sonia helps her escape spintrap]

so then roundabout's case come up with the mwahaha we shall bait her ! and its another trap that carmen puts herself into for the greater good of keeping VILE from getting more money while roudabout thinks of the pomp of what is being stolen but makes it out because of her team and...thats...hmmm idk how to explain it

the episode tees a little bit into "wow what IF this trap was too much for Carmen" in the beginning for me before revealing there isn't actually any stakes , its a run of the mill carmen always had control of the situation so roundabout wasn't even competent enough to give her little trouble.

the worst thing was just probably the shock from the cop for speaking out of turn and like that's more the cop than roundabout

it does a good season finale job of THE POLICE FORCE GETS INVOLVED! THE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION! THE HELICOPTERS SURROUND AND THE FIREWORKS HAIL ITS END!!!! aaaaaaand...i know. i know that man isn't just ineffective but nuclear ineffective.

...GAH the episode where she got electrocuted and nearly flown over to VILE by spintrap because a one shot villain got to her was in this very season...Brunt marching herself down to show how helpless carmen COULD be if she hadn't had help was in this season...

i didn't even really care about the trap thing never super bearing any fruit during the series usually [again its more to highlight her heroic nature than be a threat and im ok with our main character of course surviving to steal another day instead] BUT it is a finale so - and then

in the end i just find myself bored and irritated by roundabout being played for the cheap kazoo he is for a season finale to appreciate all the good the episode does for the overall narrative

like shadowsan may have rescued her in s1 but Brunt WAS too much for Carmen alone and the shock of the near death hug was effective for me as a finale for bringing a new challenge and then a new ally for Carmen while teein up the next season

gah...he's also the last candidate for the faculty promotion before they just vote in a brainwashed carmen...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

it has a lot of fun flash moments and carries the plot as admirably as the writing team has revealed themselves to be capable of doing, the animation remains beautiful and the theming is really fun to pick at and if i remember to start s4 before i quit for the day so i can keep following the unmasking true intentions theme i swallow it down better...

but 😫😫😫😫😫 sorry no matter how many times i give myself the "you're being unreasonable about this" speech i get angry during it BECAUSE its a finale and its the first time i'd felt asked to consider the word trap more seriously only to go nvm treat it like you always did ...and i was likeBOOOO I WOULDVE DONE THAT IF YOU JUST BOTHERED TO PUT THE CARMEN EXPLANATION WHERE IT WAS INSTEAD OF SMUGLY PULLING IT OUT LATER TO PUT ROUNDABOUT DOWN LIKE IDGAF ABOUT SHAKING HIS EGO DOWN I BARELY KNOW HIM

....

and the situation WAS going to be maybe too much for carmen if she hadn't worked with her team as effectively as she did

like a bait and switch [carmen overwhelmed alone recklessly trying to protect something from VILE bait switching to the solid power of having a cool team red who knew what they were doing]

i really wish i could appreciate more that zack, ivy, and shadowsan were all in on the plan vs s1 where he unceremoniously revealed himself and salvaged carmen's rescue plan [and save her] and s2 where carmen went recklessly to VILE isle while only letting zack and ivy in enough to know they needed to drive her to VILE isle

[and mind you i TRIED to appreciate that the dialogue isn't actually clunky and super playing to the audience to hide the reveal that "her being captured isn't a big deal" OK LIKE IT TECHNICALLY SHOULD GIVE ME ROOM TO PAY ATTENTION INSTEAD TO THE EVERYTHING ELSE, they didn't make a whole circus of deceiving the audience and yet even the mild song and dance they must do to deceive rounadbout!!! grr!!]

I REALLY WISH I DID APPRECIATE ALL THAT!!! but 😖😖😖😫im so mad i don't actually like that trope at all the structuring frustrates the hell out of me. watching carmen walk into the room and auto fail to be arrested has no bite for me since its just a little farce to keep him quiet and keeps me from eating the rest of the deliciousness the episode has to offer, i'm zoning out as shadowsan explains what they actually did this caper...

and as a finale the other half to the reoccuring pattern in cs structure is not there

....yet

but if i make sure to start s4 asap i can recognize it as as the trap ineffective but carmen isn't invulnerable theme halved because the s4 final batch of 3 episodes is the follow up where carmen just straight up gets kidnapped while she was chilling by the cleaners

->not untouchable

...im doing my best to clear the feeling , i just need like 7 more watches T.T and more chalking up the positives in my heart

like if i watch the gray selfie scene more there will only be love and peace on earth, if i take out my little cardboard sign to cheer for shadowsan to rarara home team maybe...

TLDR:

ITS SIMPLY IRRATIONAL DISTASTE IN MY HEART! SHADOWSAN UNVEILING THE REAAAAAL PLAN AT ROUNDABOUT BORES ME!!! THE ACTUAL CAPER PART OF THE CAPER IS NOT INTERESTING TO ME SO WELP!

i wish i had a better reason but i just do not have a good time with it <3

:D i'm glad you like it tho, whats most fun for you about it?

[minaminokyoko]

I'm here for Nike as their ship name. It's funny and cute!

Also, what was your favourite scene of them?

Bwahahahaha! Yes! Alright, we're gonna call it Nike from now on!

It's hard to choose one! Um, lemme see...him waking up and telling her to fuck off had me dying. Because I'm a nuance person, right? I love if a movie--even one that I consider as frustrating as this one--knows the beats and quirks of its characters and shows me that they have a unique relationship, whether that's platonic or romantic, and that scene was so telling. It was telling in that Tyler is still Tyler even after his brush with death and Nik is his touchstone. He only shows softness and vulnerability when he's near her. He knows she's his safe place and she knows he understands her and cares for her just as much. I loved getting to see them together the whole movie through this time around. People will argue whether it's platonic or romantic love until they are blue in the face, but either way it is VERY clear they both love each other.

Him catching her before she fell off the building is another scene where I was wiggling and giggling like a maniac in my seat. Dude. Bro went off hard. He risked everything for her. He was not gonna drop her. Either they were both gonna die or no one did and that's some serious devotion and love right there too. Especially after my man got shot in the fucking hand and STILL wouldn't let her go. And extra kudos for Nik waking up and saving them both like the fucking badass she is. Gosh, their entire dynamic in this movie is the shit I get out of bed for. I LOVE two completely badass people who have an unspoken thing for each other but their actions speak much louder than all the shit they don't say to each other.

And lastly, props to the way they filmed him comforting her. He says nothing and just leans into her. Wow. Man. That's love, y'all. That's what it looks like. I mean, I would've liked him to have said something, but the touch was enough. It really conveyed that they've been through hell together and they are the other half of each other's soul, whether you argue platonic or romantic.

tl;dr--my three faves are him waking up, him catching her before she fell off the roof, and him comforting her. But last mention goes to "I'm not leaving her behind." YESSSSSSS MOTHERFUCKER YESSSSSSS OH HE LOVES THAT WOMAN TO DEATH.

Thank you for allowing me to fangirl like a dumbass. xD

[crescentmoon-flower]

Rewatching winx season 4 for nostalgia and realizing how wierd some things are

Ep. 7

Musa posing like the drama queen she is

How did Stella drag roxy upwards like that

"I'm a great shot" im sure you are

Stella darling you managed to contradict yourself

Musa your great, and I wish you kept these spells

Nevermind then musa is useless

Stella contradicting herself again

Oh poor doggy, also I would react the same to someone hurting my baby

Oh wow roxy is strong

Awww, tiny kitten

Flora and anagan flirting, its actually kinda cute

What the hell even is gantlos's power

Aw, sweet old rich woman

And gantlos found them

Yeah that car crash is about right

Also for a second I thought the woman was going to help roxy

Sassy gantlos

Oh wow that was a close one

Wow artu is smart, I wonder is that's a side effect of being around roxy

Spirit speech

Oh poor artu

Oh that's a close one part 2

First magic!

What exactly did roxy do though?

Sudden upbeat Music

Well that's a tone shift

Weren't they all just on the floor in the last frame?

Specialist deus ex machina

Nabu speaks really wierd sometimes

Oh my god Rivington chopped duman's hair XD

Did they just corner ogron and leave the others?

Awww, supportive timmy

Wow aisha is in a great mood.

Naaaawwwww

Liesssssss, you'll end up with more

HAHA, flora and aisha's reactions are great

Ok the whole pictures arrange themselves in the same way

Cowboy outfits, actually one of my faves

Kind of worry roxy had a bother reaction to magic wardrobe change

Don't like this man

Oh no this is going to be a disaster

Snort* flying bear

Smoke them out, smart

Gantlos is my reaction to

Did the circle burn him or just hurt?

Well that's awsome

Oh my god that man is dedicated to not noticing shit

That smile is creepy

Isn't this man a lumberjack? How is he going to survive now?

Why does bloom get to keep the circle?

And their back

Pets aren't typically allowed at bars

Pointless pet fluff

Nabu forshadowing

He has work, stella

He's going to break that guitar

More nabu foreshadowing

Creepy surfer man

For a really important episode it feels like 70 percent is pointless

[iheartgod175]

How did you come up with your fanfictions like for a example super readers biggest adventures and how did you come up with your oc's for your fanfictions?

Ooh, I love getting these questions! I actually have four ways of making fanfic, and these include a little bit of trivia into my story writing processes ^^

The first way is usually the result of asking myself a question. This is the case with fics like SRBA and my fifty million Hanna-Barbera fics, lol XD For SRBA, it was, "I wonder what would happen if I made a serious story for Super Why--one with way more fantasy and danger, with a bit of romance." With Blazin' Trails, I wondered, "Hey, how would the cartoon go if Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long were friends?" And with The Ghost of Huckleberry Hound, it was, "How would the movie go if Huck really was a ghost?"

The second is inspiration, mostly from reading others' fanfics, but also from anime/games/TV shows. Of course, I don't copy anything, and I always try to give credit where it's due to the authors who inspired me. The original version of The Zula Patrol: Dreamscape Crusade was originally heavily inspired by a Nanoha fanfic I read ages ago which dealt with time travel and alternate worlds, and later elements were influenced by Symphogear. Its remake was inspired by a Symphogear fic called My Sunshine (which had an equally awesome remake) in regards to tone, setting and the concept of relics mixing with modern worlds and the people who want to pursue them. Granted, there's more supernatural/magic involved, but still. And the scrapped Heroes of Time was inspired by a multitude of crossovers, including the exceedingly awesome Shattered Skies (an epic magical girl crossover between five of my favorite Magical Girl series), whose author actually favorited this fic before it was taken down.

Third, sometimes, I have an idea so absurd that I have to write it out before it consumes me. The crossovers I've come up with usually fall into that category, especially if I'm doing a Hanna-Barbera/anything crossover. Sodor Magic Crusaders was originally a spin-off from a humanized Thomas fic I made ages ago and never finished, and originallly had no Nanoha elements whatsoever (in fact, I think it was inspired by Lodoss War). And when I discovered Nanoha, the idea wouldn't leave me be, and I had to write it out.

And fourth and finally...sometimes, I just get hit with fluffy/angsty feels, and want to take it out on my faves. That's pretty much all of my one-shot fics, although some of the longer fics aren't immune.

[actualaster]

Plot spoilers, HEAVY. ENDGAME PLOT SPOILERS. As in "through the entire final sequences"

May or may not write up some more coherent thoughts on the game as a whole now that I've beaten it, not sure yet

I get why they did it--avoid confusion caused by finding information out out-of-order and to avoid forcing you into one specific path. But I still wish they'd had more variety with the 4 regional sage dungeons since it was the exact same backstory for each just from a slightly different angle.

Since you can already do things in an order then makes certain "mysteries" clear (like knowing the identity of the Light Dragon which means knowing the "Zelda" you see is a fake)... I think it would have been fine to tell more variety and maybe achronological, y'know?

Especially if they had included the stuff from the old Sages in re-watchable scenes.

ANYWAY on to The Next Part!

Oooh, blood moon in cutscene

Hm, that's a creepy cadence for not!Zelda

HEY WHAT THE FUCK IS THE GLOOM SHIT ON THE CEILING--OH FUCK THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FUCKING HANDS??? NOPE.

THEY BOB UP AMD DOWN AS THE HANDS MOVE /sobs

Ah, yep, called it, puppet for the Demon Lord. But ack, the way its body flopped around like a marionette for a bit before disintegrating was creepy. Literal puppet.

Huh. Honestly that was a way easier Phantoj Ganon fight than thr ones that appear after the GLOOM Spawn. (...probably because it too busy being terrified of them lmao)

SIDON WAS FIRST TO SHOW WHEN THEY SAVED HIS ASS. YOU GO SHARKY BOYFRIEND.

Also deeply appreciate Riju being the calm voice of reason when the others are very afraid and worried.

So, is THIS the past where I'm supposed to go to that spot that, uh, I accidentally came across before that was plot relevant?

Ah, yep. BUILDING ROBO!MINERU LET'S GO

I actually like to think that Mineru has been watching Link come and go from this area repeatedly as I abuse it to dupe items lol

Huh, that was an interesting gameplay sequence. I liked it :3

Wait, if MINERU has been in the Purah Pad how long has she been watching Link do dumb shit like hunt bugs and cook 30 fish skewers in a row ahdjahfhd

Also kind of morbid to think about Mineru getting to hold Rauru's hand one more time except it's attached to a different person

Oh, lol, THIS was when I was supposed to get the Master Sword. I've had it for ages lol

HE ISN'T... DUDE HOLY SHIT THAT IS SUCH A COOL DRAGON. I mean he can't actually rule the world now since "he" is gone now...

OH, FUCK, FOR REAL? LIGHT DRAGON TO THE RESCUE--WAIT DO I GET TO FIGHT HIM UP HERE!?

AERIAL DRAGON BATTLE, LIGHT DRAGON KEEPS ME IN THE SKY!!! FUCK YEAH!!

Say whatever the hell you want about the rest of the game, it's shot way up to one of my faves from this sequence alone FUCK YEAH

THAT WAS SUCH A COOL SEQUENCE OMG

Ah, there we go, Zelda restored. And Link's arm healed?! Sadly no more Zonai abilities for him XD

A final skydiving sequence, eh? That's a great closer, reaching out to grab her just like at the start except this time he succeeds.

Ah, huh, I kinda assumed "fall from any height and land in water to survive" was just a game mechanic not canon lmao nice

I also love that Link was shirtless for the entire final bit there lol

Goddamn that was a really fucking fun final sequence honestly. What can I say? I'm a sucker for dragons lmao.

Ah, Mineru... I'm glad Purah got to see the skylands lol, but it's sad seeing Mineru go.

Oh, and they all echoed the vow of their ancestors to Rauru but pledging to Zelda...

Nice.

Honestly, overall? 10/10 I had a blast with the entire game

[sweetshrimpyboi]

1.) What's your favorite aspect of pregnancy? What makes it hot for you in a kink sense? Tbh I love all things pregnancy but if I had to pick one for like a kink aspect it would be the changes that happen during a pregnancy! Like a character getting rounder and rounder, lactation, etc. Like that stuff is my favorite and I have been dabbling more into like having my characters experience those changes more in my recent work and its really really fun plus pushing that boundary a little (double wombs, shapeshifting pregnancy making the belly change size at times, more lactation stuf etc.) Its been a blast and a half and I guess thats what keeps me going a lot!! For a fluffier aspect I just love the idea of a character experiencing the baby growing and it setting in that its real for them its kinda a cute moment when everything finally clicks and how that affects them <3

6.) If you could only pick one, would you keep hyperpreg, rapid preg, or perma preg? Why? (I just copy and pasted this one from where I answered it before hope thats okay!)

PERMA PREG PERMA PREG PERMA PREG!!!

Tbh with some of my OCs (most of them lets be honest) they all feature perma preg I just enjoy the idea of there always being something that is in there for a character be it an eldritch being or some sort of cryptid heck in one case one of them has a little shapeshifter! As silly as this is pregnancy is a HUGE comfort thing for me and I enjoy the idea of my characters being able to experience it for a prolonged period of time and what happens when it's going on. Like how do other pregnancies affect it etc. Idk comfort and fun is my main reason but from an art standpoint too I don't have fun drawing non preg things if im honest ive tried to have fun with it but ive realized that I just don't my art only got better when I stuck to drawing what made me happy and that is preg so im happy to have preg be the focus (thats also why I don't have seperate non preg accounts because I don't draw non preg stuff unless I HAVE to!)

14.) Who are some of your favorite preg kink artists/blogs? Gosh I can never answer this question because genuinely all the people I follow are folks I adore with all my heart!! Like legit the folks I follow every single one of them their art is my favorite to see and I look up to all of them in one way or another I hope to improve to be able to be as awesome as they are someday somehow!! Like genuinely if you can check out my following list (idk if there is a way to link it on here or not if there is I will hope back on and link it ) but legit everyone I follow is someone I admire and I just cant choose a few who are my faves because everyone I follow is a star at what they do and it makes me happy to be able to see what they post when I hop on here <3 Brings a smile to my face and a warmth to my heart! <3 24.) Favorite view for a belly? (straight on, side profile, POV looking down as though it's yours, ect)

Shrimply all of them one view cannot rival another the belly is a thing to behold and also hold!! lol XD But legit though I love all the views I can't draw the best so im limited to what angles I can personally draw hence a lot of side shots from me but I love all the angles I admire folks that can do looking down shots and front on and make it look wonderful (again check my following list just sayin) legit I hope to someday be able to do more angles myself cause I LOVE THEM ALL!!! And I always picture them in my head with my characters and when I write its so much fun but legit every angle is best angle to view a belly <3 Round is a great view I have to say <3

34.) What's your ideal rapid preg growth speed? How long should it ideally take to go from a flat tummy to full term? Tbh based on how I write and draw rapd preg for me is at least 5 to 6 months like I am one of those fellas that even if its rapid its gotta be a few months at least so I will go with 5 to 6 months max for a rapid preg scenario for my own personal choice however if its not me making it im down to see and read anything if im honest!! :3

40.) What are some aspects of pregnancy that you enjoy in a kink way that AREN'T the pregnancy itself? (Ex: breeding, labor, birth, lactation, ect) GIMME IT ALL PLEASE THANK YOU Lol But legit I honestly like all of that stuff lactation and labor being two of my top faves, breeding for me is one of those things im just now getting over how shy I am about it (took me being in my middle 20s to actually learn a lot about sexual things and to realize WELP YA BOI HAS A BREEDING KINK) and like just it's one of those things now I thoroughly enjoy (though I am still too shy to write it much genuinely I stick to tentacles and monsters cause its easier to imagine a big ole tentacle than another character lol) I like birth too but again one of those things im still timid about though laying eggs has become much easier to draw as of late even though im not the best at it I have a lot of fun trying!! But genuinely like if its pregnancy adjacent then its a form of comfort for me to some degree I probably seem cringey af but I am just gonna embrace it at this point XD I have a lot of fun with preg stuff and honestly its a huge part of my online identity at this point is drawing preg and posting preg! So I am happy with it!! Whooo this was so much fun to answer all of these thank you so much again for sending in this ask I loved answering these so much this was a blast and a half!!! I really loved this a lot X3

Music Monday #256: Stray Kids - Chk Chk Boom release: July 2024 genre: Kpop, EDM/hiphop cw: Deadpool, Wolverine, guns, flashing

Yeah, I know, it's been awhile AND this isn't even the most recent comeback from Stray Kids, but it's my series and I do what I want, okay? Okay then....

And now I'm being reminded of why I kept putting off reviewing this song. It's excellent and I love it and it's a perfect example of Stray Kids ... meaning it's impossible to fit into a single box. Is it EDM? Very much so, complete with potentially annoying metallic burrs in the background. Is it hiphop? It certainly leans into having mostly rapped lines versus more traditional singing, but with enough from I.N and Seungmin to make it almost too much singing for stricter definitions (not that we let things like strict definitions stop us around here). Is it noise? Well, it's loud and unapologetic, so typical of Stray Kids, with lyrics that are a mix of ridiculous and tricksy word plays that seemingly speak more to Stray Kids' career than any sort of ongoing lore. Yes, I'm looking at you, Mr. I'm Strong Seo Changbin. XD

The video introduces the crossover we've all been waiting for since Kingdom: Legendary War and the formation of the unlikely friendship between Ryan Reynolds and Bang Chan. You can't go wrong with a Deadpool crossover (with bonus Wolverine). I can't remember now how much was shot on location and how much was done on green screen, but either way it looks impressive and very New York. As for the story and its place in Stray Kids' lore ... well, I'm still not sure I get what's going on here. Art vandalism that Stray Kids are somehow connected to - we see Han finishing one rectangle and it's implied he's done more of them, but with all of them being in the city together but the rectangles appearing all over the world... Considering Stray Kids have a couple different storylines running side by side and I'm not even sure which one this connects with... Which ever plot this is a part of, that plot is now set in the same universe as EXOPlanet, thanks to Ryan, and that's a fun little tidbit I'm not sure my writer brain actually needed.

At just barely two and a half minutes, Chk Chk Boom is both a completed thought and all too short, leaving the listener hungry for more. Which adds a twist of something almost like irony, given this is the A title for the album ATE. They released videos for three other tracks (MOUNTAINS, JJAM, and Stray Kids) (making 4 videos for an 8-track release), though at least one of those - Stray Kids - is very much not connected to any lore as that song and video both are all about Stray Kids as artists. I would love to say I'll feature even one of them here in the future, but it's questionable, so if this caught your interest, might want to look those up, too.

ATE is available now for streaming or purchase, along with subsequent album releases, GIANT (Japan) and HOP, meaning there's over a dozen videos that Stray Kids have put out since Chk Chk Boom, including yet another original Christmas song. I'm never getting caught up. XD

My shipper heart ♥

No. Seriously. That is not HER dream, that is OUR dream. They walk hand in hand T.T

That one winged idiot tries to ruin out date!

Different dog again. We are now in a timeline were Zack chose to save Biggs.

So he survived just to get shot? WTF?! I mean... this is almost as worse as when Wedge was found only for the plot convenience and then died without having done anything but dragging the game on longer.

Was that another freaking dog?

I am lost. Like really lost.

The date is almost over...

There won't be a next time, honey...

Please say it louder! I think certain shipper in the back have not heard you XD

This will be our last hug...

IF you you know a certain scene from AC... then this is going to hurt you.

Its her last chance too...

I just wish he KNEW what was coming too. He looks so confused right now, not able to enjoy it, because he is worried about her behaviour.

I think I've read somewhere that the "and you" part, is a translation mistake. But I get why they translated it that way.

No wonder that Cloud is nuts under his control... Sephiroth himself has long lost it.

Which Aerith are you? OG-Timelne? R-Timeline? One of the 3000 Zack Timelines?

This is the third different Aerith in this scene. I assume its the R-Timeline one tho? Because she talks about something she said in our date?

Five or so at this point ^^'

When he gave it to her, it was white, when she fave it back it was hollow and clear? WTF is going on?

That was a bit... dramatic? ^^'

Seems like he did break her fall...

JEN UVE ACTUALLY DONE SOO GOOD WITH THIS THANKUUU FOR UR HARD WORRKKKK OTL

right off the bat the amount of judgement you captured in his expression is alrdy sending me XD.

tho,,,,,,,,,, tbf,,,,, thats a really pretty lookin block of charcoal,,,,, look at them textures,,,, yummy,,,, PFPEFTE DONT LOOK AT ME

I LOVEE the flow of the second page, and the goals being crossed off at the top is a real clever way at helping 2 convey that movie montage energy!!!

THIS MAN IS SO SQUISHABLE. also bro this literally looks like i screenshotted this from a manga what. top tier reaction image right here. Tage is not being paid enough to deal with his shit LMAO

BROOO THIS IS SO CLEVER WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH THE PANEL SEPERATION!!! I love how you curved the panel like that!!!! The sense of flow goes HARD. Just the creeping of flames from aces hand up his arm into the skies looks so so gnarly, and then to have all that momentum killed off at the end with the splash of water peofsidtt. THAT SPLASH PANEL LOOKS RLLY GOOD BY THE WAY ITS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVE PANELS. what a soppy wet cat. BEAST.

ahhh jen this is truly a thing i think you communicated really well in this comic. Sabo's trauma was handled really proficiently, it's not like RIGHT IN UR FACE OBVIOUS, but the way some little things tick him off- even when they're right next to the ocean and everything is okay,,, it feels so grounded to reality. Like the subtle shift in demeanor is esp done well over here!!!

THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SABOS FROM THE COMIC!!! HE LOOKS SO GOOD HERE U DONT EVEN KNOW., THE CROSSHATCHING ON HIS GLOVES AND AROUND HIS EYES AND ESP THE BG??? SUCH SCRUMPTIOUS STUFF.

IM ALSO just a really big fan of how you framed the circle of tension getting smaller behind him??? like the way its all jagged in rows makes it looks like hes trying to suck all the stress back into himself instead of leaking it out. IDK VRY CLEVER IMAGERY

im obsessed with this eye shots i feel like they do sooo much and they look soooo goood IM OBSESSED

jen the girls r arguing i cant keep watching. im scared IM SCARED MOM PICK ME UP T O T!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHFASEGHSDHUGSDGUSDFGs. I THINK U DID SUUUCH A GOOD JOB WRITING THEIR SCUFFLE THAT IT ACTUALLY PAINS ME TO READ CAUSE I CAN JUST FEEL HOW TIRED AND EXHAUSTED THEY ARE AND HOW SCARED SABO HAS BEEN AND HOW ALL OF THAT FEAR AND WORRY IS MAKING THEM TURN AGAINST EACH OTHER AND IT KILLS ME IM DEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD

boop

i really just need to reiterate that I LOVE how you have controlled the pacing of tension thruout this comic. I think this page brilliantly sets up the climax in the NEXT page (my fave). oeughehg it never feels good to have someone yell at you. The way the flames raise up into suffocating blackness,,,, GODDD THE MIC DROP ON THE NEXT PAGE IS SRSLY SO GOOD

no words. just. you captured sabo's fears so well. (also the fire just looks so stunning on ace srsly, the mixings of greyish and black to the bright white looks AMAZING)

AHAH AHAHHFAHFHAFHHAHAH

AHHAHAHAHHAh

AHAHHFAHSFHASFHUASHUYFHUAHHAHAHAH

jen open the door i just wanna talk just OPEN THE DOOR

he actually looks so shaken here, like, im never gonna be okay again,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my heart hurts,,,, AND THEN THE WAY HE BACKS UP IN THE PANEL BELOW??? LIKE?????????????? OMGGG THATS UR BROTHHERRRR DONT GO AWAY T O T!!! BUT HES SOOO SCARED!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i am being so fr when i say im never forgiving you. this was. INSANE. TETSAETGSDGSDGSDFGsDGgdsg. UAWFASDUGUIDSFGSAETUSDG. STOPPP I CANT BELIEVE U REUSED THE PANELS LIKE THAT. UR KILLINMG ME. THE EMPTINESS OF THE LEFT PANEL CAUSE SABO HAS ALRDY RUN AWYA. THIS IS LIKE SOOOO CLEVER JEN UR BRAIN IS HUMMMOUUUNGOUS HOLY MOLY. I CANT GET OVER THIS IM ENDING IT ALL AWRUHFASETGHUSDFGHUAHRFSYUGAWUHRFDSAHUG

not to completely look away from all the drama that just happened but i rlly like how u drew the leaves n curtain :DDD ur hatching works sooo well with this kinda background work!!! rlly nice stuff :DDD

Fire (Part 2)

<- (PREV) (NEXT) ->

(Spade Pirate Sabo AU Masterpost)

And that is!! 18 of 18 pages!! It's this long because I didn't want to break up their fight. I hope you enjoy :)

I had to rewrite their fight like,,, 3 times lmao. I'm not very good at writing fights because I'm Incredibly Passive Aggressive and Very Non Confrontational. Thankfully my partner helped me out a bit with making the escalation feel natural, so hopefully their grievances and motivations read well. In the end, both of them are starving probably-emotionally-stunted teenage boys in a high-stress situation, and Tage is being faced constantly with one of the biggest sources of his trauma that he doesn't even remember-- of course he's going to lash out.

Fun thing I learned this time around, if I struggle with planning a chapter, it can kind of help to write it out in prose like I would a fanfic, and then translate it to comic form. This is how I eventually ended up with 18 pages of comic,,, because I can't really estimate how much I'll need to draw when I'm writing in prose. In turn, this did help a lot with adding more natural behaviors between dialogue, like Tage tapping his finger to fidget while crossing his arm, or all of their pointing and gesturing while they're arguing.

My boy only knows English

Stout

Surprisingly, no!

Nah, he hasn't had any aspirations or goals in a long time

oh yes Annie! absolutely lmao just now i was looking for something to distract me from work.

first of all shoutout to @ilovethisgame-andiloveyou for the awesome compilation 💜

Christmas 2021. Not only bitch woke up and choose murder for Christmas but it was the first time she acknowledged us the shippers so this is basically how we confirmed she knows we know lmao also this pic gave us the confirmation that no one really needed that they were indeed “rommates” in Manchester. Wonderful :D

2. Titan’s Bday (2021). Everyone was walking on their tiptoes around this one and it was a whole mess cause someone took it from someone’s private account and we all had to act like the pic didn’t existed until Clementine went and posted it herself like “yeah we did spent her bday together, so what?” ending once and for all the whole mistery .. and our lives ofc lmao

3. 1rst send off game against Mexico AKA my favorite game of all time! The whole experience was magical but when they posted the pic after the game it was the cherry on top of the cake. I say THEY cause Thermometer also posted it and istg I cried lmao the interwebs went WILD lol even a “straight” friend of mine who’s a football fan of Telephone sent me the pic not knowing I was already obsessed with it lmao. I ascended for sure.

4. Walking for oneness (2021). Such a nice and serene shot and also posted on a random Sunday when no one of us was expecting it. To tell you I screamed lmao they’re so in sync and she decided to show us more of their cute rituals. Also some of the funniest comments from the deniers lmao.

5. Tokyo 2021. Istg she posted this one to let us know they found time for a little date while they were at the olys lmao. They’re so cute! I really love their faces in here. Everyone else were together doing whatever and these two in their own world .. like always 😉

6. Teasing us like this is a game lmao (London 2021) this one made us update our deduction skills lmao we all become sherlock for a day xD from the sneakers to the purple vest to the body language and the pose lmao conclusion? 100% pure gay

7. 3000m hi (2021) AKA the one that broke us all. I mean, I still look at it and I cant believe it exists and she posted it herself, gay on main! Look at them, just LOOK AT THEM! This is the gayest shit I have ever seen lmao I remember I received the notif and literally dropped my phone. Hell im still freaking out nowdays xD I don’t think I will ever be over it. As I said before, they’ll have to post a pic making out to outgay this one!

8. London good bye (2022) WAGging era at its finest.The beginning and the end of one of my fave eras of them all. also No one can convince me she didn’t posted this pic to let the world know the exact reason why she decided to spend her vacays in the UK lmao.:D look how cute they are. How proud Cocaine is of her girl and how incredibly happy Tusi looks of having her wife there for her. Fucking priceless T.T I might cry again

9. Couple’s photo (2022) this one im currently on the middle of the melt down lmao. as I said, I saw it in the morning while i was omw to work and I literally had to park on a random gas station so I could release some pressure lmao. I DIED, y’all interacting with a ghost now xD
