closed starter, coffee place near paramount luna and bella @rviner

"Thank you, thank you! Have a good day." Luna chirps, expertly balancing a tray of takeout coffee cups while nudging Mia to keep pace. "Sooner we get this to Gengen, sooner we can have that picnic." Summer break is in full swing, and Luna can't bear the thought of her daughter stuck with sitters or all of the fun activities being stolen from mother and daughter time. Genevieve's flexible attitude allows Luna to blend her roles as mom and professional seamlessly, a fact that makes her respect the older witch even more. Even if the Belcourt usually ends up requesting something that requires a quick diversion. Today, for instance, Gen needs a quick coffee run and it's no bother, at all. Not when she's changed their lives.

Turning, Luna spots a familiar face and her smile widens. "Oh! Bella, hey." she can't wave her occupied hands but manages to jut up her elbow in greeting. "I'm just running these to Gen. Are you heading over too? I'll wait for ya." she glances at Mia, who is practically vibrating with excitement at seeing the Belcourt. "Bella, Bella! I learned how to make the flowers glow like you showed me, all by myself!" "She did, yeah." Luna chuckles, rolling her eyes playfully while wearing a proud smile for her daughter's growing magical skills. "It's always a treat when she forgets to turn them off and our patio looks like a UFO crash site." she laughs then. "What else did ya learn again, Mimi? I forgot, but it was real fancy." "Oh the sparkly rain!" "Yeah, yeah, that's it. Like sparklers from her fingers, it's so funny. Not sure when we'll use that but, I'm sure it'll come in useful for something."

Whee!!!! Not totally at midnight this time!!

But yes, here's freenoodles as promised and they were meant to go before Nezha but ehh, things didn't turn out as planned and here they are!

Idk what kinda cake this is. Probably like a strawberry or red currant cake with like a cookie base on the bottom similar to a cheesecake with chocolate ganache and like a strawberry or raspberry jam in the middle (y'know, since it's 'tangy'?) since I couldn't really think of many fruits to associate with our favorite chef-scholar couple and I wanted to try a new sort of cake.

Though later on I decided on lemons since they look like cicada wings to me and also are sour but can be tangy and sweet when you get used to it. (like a culinary pig we know >u')

Not much to say about the cookies, same old, same old. Thankfully Pigsy's noodles was a canon brand so I could use it's logo.

To add some 'Tanginess' I added the basket of scrolls especially since I found I prefer to have a swoopy thing up top over the characters (ie dragon with Mei, armillary sash with Nezha ect) so I just did a floating open scroll which, fun fact:

says '7 days till my birthday'! or at least I meant it to if it weren't so smudged

Other than the lemon, since I had no fruits and wanted to give the cake more pizzazz, I added the lil cicadas and I think they look pretty dang cute! Much cuter than the balloon at least

Speaking of the balloon! Since we have 2 characters we get 2 balloons and I'm pretty happy with them! Pigsy one in particular since I saw nezuko's art with like a bunny balloon and I thought it'd be really cute to do the same here!

Of course the staff and 9 toothed rake, I did count the teeth on there and that is Zhu Bajie's hat thanks for noticing!

The ribbon thing I normally have in the other cakes is another one of Tang's scrolls! And pls don't come for me for the gibberish on them I referenced a canon thing with tripitaka opening the scrolls and just copied from there

Also, bottom left corner, that's tang's glasses (probably spares) and Pigsy's festival/performance glasses from the city of lanterns. Just a cute detail lol.

Why did I use both freenoodles instead of giving Tang and Pigsy their individual cakes? Idk it's more fun like this.

Also cause I figured I'd have more fun and ease picking the best of both worlds for 1 cake rather than struggle to think of decorations for both of them.

Also doing them as a pair frees up one more slot for another character so whee! more content!

(more work for me but that's what I get I suppose...)

But fun fact! (And a bit of spoilers...) These two are the only characters in a pair to share a cake. Now you might think it's cause I'm being unfair and robbing them of their individuality but no!

It's cause they old and married, let them be happy together!

But yea I think they turned out cute enough! Tang just landed in his husband's lap and Pigsy is just as confused as Tangy lol

(Also I haven't watched s5 don't smack me if I miss details but feel free to spoil me lol I don't mind)

HCISJS HI HEY HEY HEY HI

quackity with an s/o that is short and likes to steal his clothes like they’re like 4’11

HAVE A GOOD DAY ML 🫶🫶

HEY HEY HI HAVE A GREAT DAYY

word count; 242

warnings;none I think

-hes  finally glad he's taller than someone by a lott and it made him think you were cuter

-but when he'd see you in his shirt which looks massive on you made him melt

-he thought you couldn't get any cuter

-and when he'd see you in him clothes it made him feel special and tingly inside

-and it'd be funny to him whenever you'd say you were gonna get ready then he hears his closest door open

-but then he'd see you wearing his clothes most of the time, he just thought you were wearing them because you liked the design of his shirt

- so he got you the same shirts in your size 

- but you told him you didn't like to wear his clothes because of the design but you like to because it was his shirt

- well now you have matching outfits if you need them

-but if you start taking his pants, thats when he'd start calling you a gremlin and a simp for some reason

- I mean he's not gonna stop you from doing it but he'd just be more talkative about it

- and if chat sees and asks if you're wearing his shirt he'd say he's never seen that shirt in his life even though he wore it yesterday or something

- he'd try to get you back by trying to wear something of yours

- but would only be able to fit in like your socks lol

more oc doodles... tested a braid for him!! also made the butterfly motif more obvious w the butterfly clips... i rly wanted him to have them but rarely drew him from the back so...

this post is kinda short so gonna post some old art w commentary under the cut bc i dont think i posted them here before🤧 thought i did but....

(oct 2020) happy to see visible improvement from then heh... this is where i first got him closer to his current design/palette + decided on the purple/yellow palette and the inverting eye color idea... normally pretty and shiny but w a creepy spotted butterfly eye look when using his powers (simplified the dots to just 3 in his current design)...

more recent doodles (apr 2022)... these r cute tbh i like the 2nd pic, he looks so fluffy + u can see the butterfly hairtie... but i still wasnt satisfied w his design...

in my most recent attempt at designing him(aug 2023) i changed several things... made his bangs longer for a more elegant look(which is actually closer to how it was before)... figured out how to draw his eyes + eyebrows better + more consistent(had been going back n forth btwn double/mono eyelids and thick/thin eyebrows... finally settled on sleepy double eyelids + thick brows) + i also changed the placement of his moles... (used to be right under his eye; changed to middle of cheek + another near the nose.. aka the txt soobin mole KFJKS I like how this new placement gives him a softer and gentle elegant look?? it's subtle but I like it a lot better... Oh also I made his sideburn locks shorter instead of long and curly and I like this change a lot too... idk it looks cuter to me KJFKS I gave him the long curly ones before bc i thought it'd look more unique but... i decided it's more important that I personally like it rather than just give traits to set him apart... he already looks plenty flashy w his eyes and colors anyway🤧

bonus: another pass from p recently (may 2023) where, unsatisfied and wondering how to fix his design, attempted straying further from prev attempts by testing a middle part (and also a mole near his mouth)... but I was actually getting colder and not warmer.... I don't like these but at least I tested it to know that I don't like it!! u can also see a test doodle of the spiky green guy (hyojun) here lol

And finally, here's 1 of his very first design attempts from way back in aug 2019!!! (u can see early hyojun too...)

This was back when I was just starting to figure the current ver of his chara/personality/role in the story... not fleshed out at all but i at least had a vague idea and this was when I decided he would be purple (instead of other palette ideas i had considered earlier like brown hair, orange coding...) But at this early stage I hadnt come up with the butterfly motif, or the purple/yellow palette (he was purple/magenta here) or darker skin... Tbh I consider this a "beta design" bc theres sm thing that were diff/not decided yet but it's technically the same chara ckdbf

I can't fit any more images ㅠㅠ but u can see more concept sketches in this twitter thread... and yea I was testing an inverted eye concept even back then... I really liked this idea so I didn't want to abandon it, and im happy I made it even better since w the butterfly concept *_*

This vampire oneshot I'm working on is cuter than I thought it'd be

New Winx Design: Personal Thoughts Because Why Not lol

Aisha:

❤️ love the dreads and her face shape is so cute! It looks like she has defined abs which is cool if she's meant to be particularly more fit.

💔 her outfit is plain compared to the other girls. It doesn't really have a personality to it other than she's sporty and the bright colours make it less cool as well. Aisha deserves better, her outfit shouldn't look like that of a background character!

Bloom

❤️ she looks just like her classic design! Although I prefer the fashion of the original Winx, for what this new Winx is going for, it's not bad. I like the colours!

💔 The bracelets and necklaces make her outfit look boho which doesn't fit Bloom. I'm also questionable on the plaid leggings, I can see how they work but I'd maybe go with a solid colour instead. I'm also confused about what that translucent thing over her right hand is?? But I can go without it.

Flora

❤️ Although I can't make out the whole silhouette, the style works for this iteration of Winx. It's more boho and the flower motif with the sleeves and frills are fun and creative!

💔 I prefer her classic eye shape much more, her eyes look too big here. I see some frill poking out above the belt and I'm going to hope that was an error because it'd be an awkward look. The belt could also be cuter or maybe replaced with some delicate chains/beads! I also think the top green part of her dress overwhelms the design and I'd make her hoop earrings gold instead.

Musa

❤️ I love this cool hair style and her outfit lives up to the fashion of classic Winx imo! I love the cool short sleeve jacket and vest with the big choker! Almost everything about this fit slays!

💔 the only things I don't like are the frilly top and the striped waistband. The top adds an unnecessary element of femininity that doesn't suit Musa and was something I didn't like being integrated into her design over the course of Winx. It could be a cropped tee instead! The waistband could also just be a solid purple.

Stella

❤️....

💔 I'm sorry but I find this Stella to be a serious down grade. Her style is very plain and uncreative for someone who's supposed to be the most fashion savvy. I also find it cliche to give her this pink preppy look because she's the "girly one" when her past design was so transcendent. I can see a colourful beaded bracelet too which makes her outfit look more childish, especially when that's the only accessory she has besides the shades. Her head also looks much bigger than everyone else's???

Techna

❤️ probably my favourite of the redesigns, I just love the commitment to the alternative neon punk aesthetic! The robotic details on her sleeves and tights are so cool and I love the overall metallic texture of her outfit. I like that they gave her bright makeup as well, she looks badass and the most modernized!

💔 no real complaints! I just hope the shoes are just as good lol

[lenteur]

hiii love! 💓 ahh, of course :) and i do appreciate that a lot, thank you 💛 i work as well during the weekdays and sometimes it can be stressful <3

it kinda was! bc i was like oh god i'm gonna slip up!!! >.< but i kept it hidden well, she had no clue 🥰 they were so cute!! there's a website where you can order personalised clothes and have your pets faces on them <3 she had three dogs and i thought it would be hard but the socks turned out amazingly!! 💕

OH GOD I'M SO SORRY 🥺 that's svt for you, i swear sometimes when i rewatch old gose eps, i'm like.... am i about to switch bias?? i hate them but i love them so much (hate them tho) 🤣

noooo, don't be sorry, i'm so emotional too 😭 one of my older mutuals on twitter went to one of their fanmeets and she said the way you see them are the exact same in real life, she said they're so nice and they do genuinely take an interest in speaking to you (omg pls lemme meet them :((( )

honestly i feel like he's one of the least biased people in the group which does make a little bit sad :( he's one of my favourite people and is v important to me 💔 if you can be anyone in life, be a seungkwan 🦊

she is absolutely gorgeous 😭 totally did not have a bigger crush on her after that ep 💓

AAAH I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED THEM!!!! they're a whole family 🌺 i missed one of the FUNNIEST ones omg which is this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lTN_tCtuq0 this one is also a three part, just watching them having fun in the water is so funny 😭 dk's smile & laugh is everything to me 💝💝💝

you're so very welcome!!! i'm happy they had a positive impact on your day 🌷🌼🌻

hiii bestie 🌼 i've missed you a lot 💓 hopefully work doesn't get too stressful for you. if only we could be paid but not work, that'd be great... alas... </3

omg! that's even cuter than what i imagined :( all her dogs printed on her socks. this might be her favourite pair of socks 💝

oh no don't worry 🤣 i wasn't complaining (well kinda) about changing. i knew what i was getting into when i slipped into the diamond life 💎 but still hao is #1 in my heart. however, i might bias a lot more than just him. i don't have an official biaslist in that group and i think i'll keep it that way lol

lucky her 😭 i mean i believe her. the guys seem so nice and chill. it'd be an honour to meet them :( crossing fingers you'll meet them one day

really? from what i've seen i thought he was one of the more popular members of the groups? but it's a shame because he's so funny and sweet and talented and- i'll stop right here ^^'

seeing the 🦊 next to seungkwan made me wonder if you had to assign an emoji (not necessarily animals) to each member, which one would it be? you don't have to do it for all the members if it's too much, but at least a few members. the only one i find fitting is hoshi and his whole 🐯 agenda. tbh i thought it was just a one time thing at first, but then i saw him committing to it and i was a bit surprised to say the least. i haven't seen an idol be so invested in their persona before 😭 and i was a bit sad when his first solo song wasn't named tiger but spider instead. i thought he lost his passion for tigerhosh 🤣 🤣 🤣

all the episodes made me laugh so much. i mean seventeen always deliver as both artists and comedians. they make everything funny and captivating. i get so invested in their games even if it's not that deep 🤣 i mean in the sense i'll react as if i was a part of the group and the game lmao and the episode you sent me was funny as well 🤣 seventeen aka PURE CHAOS

thank you so much for interacting 🌻 that makes me happy :D and if you have any questions please do tell. i feel like i've been the one asking you questions and i feel bad for it >3<

as always, have a lovely day (or night) depending on when you'll read this :)

[super-un-stable]

Tad bit late but heres a lil Halloween redraw from last year! Some pretty good improvement eh?

[sugxrslushy]

hi <3 think u could make a monet (from punk hazard) x female reader drabble? just a fluff-ish scenario between the two, and both being assistants of caesar clown. i adore her a lot lol. thank you in advance! :)

➪ a/n: I have never written for Monet previous to this and frankly I'm disappointed in myself also partly the only reason I paid attention lol but ahhh hope I did well! enjoy <33

➪ details: SFW//Monet x fem!reader (mostly just implied I couldn't fit pronouns//w.c:

Peering into the microscope, you jot down your observations in the journal beside you and checking them over ever so often. It was quiet, not like there was much going on at Punk Hazard. There wasn’t a thing left alive after the incident, yet you didn’t find yourself complaining. Peace and quiet was all you needed, perfect conditions for testing experiments.

A chill runs across your skin, making your hair stand on end and you become aware that you may not be alone as previously assumed. The room was still dead silent but colder than before. Not too alarmed, you finished the last note in your journal then shot a look over your shoulder.

“No need to worry about me, I’m only looking at what you’re up to.” Monet answers cooly, her feathers brushing against our back and sending shivers down your spine. Wrapping her wing around you, she steps in closer to look into the microscope with a curious smile. Her big round glasses cover her eyes but you can just narrowly catch how they weren’t looking into the microscope.

“It’s really… nothing. Caesar proposed a new drug idea that I agreed to look over. Not sure if it’ll do much but it sounds like a good idea.” You weren’t sure whether it’d work but Caesar wasn’t one to pick a fight with. You hoped a second pair of eyes would help you decide where to go with it. 

Monet hums and zooms in, contemplating a thought although she seems more concerned with pulling you closer with her wing. You shudder again, the coolness of her presence not yet something you were used to, especially on the already chilly part of the island. But when she'd wrap you up in her wings while in the Burning Lands, the dim cold radiating off of her kept you from boiling alive.

You may have been cold, but warmth rose in your chest with each touch of her skin against yours.

“Am I making you cold?” Pushing her glasses up to rest in her hair, she shoots you a genuinely concerned look. It felt like her golden yellow eyes could read your every mood and emotion.

“No, I just need a new jacket.” You tug it to cover your blushing face, disguising it as a poor attempt to get warmer. Something that Monet doesn't miss at all.

“Well, I could always buy you one if needed. We should have an opportunity this upcoming weekend.” She ignores your blush, playing into your lie but files it away for later as she swoops in dangerously close to your face. “In the meantime, I may have one you can borrow. Can't wear it anymore for -y’know- obvious reasons.” She waves her wing in the air.

You laugh after jotting down another quick note. “Such a shame, it was so pretty. Especially on you.”

“Don't you think it'd look cuter on you?” The chill returns as she stands in front of you, lips narrowly touching yours. Your face is on fire and she's quelling it, making you want to step closer into her presence and finally press your lips against…

“I have to finish the experiment!” You sputter out in a flustered mess, fumbling to pick up your journal and refocus yourself towards the work at hand. Monet laughs, shaking her head and slipping behind you, making you think she was going to leave until the soft feathers of her wings rush against you, curling around you in an embrace.

Lips brush against your neck just as light, climbing up till she leaves a proper kiss on your cheek. “You've worked hard enough, we can go through my closet to find you something warmer. And don't worry about Caesar, I think I can get a good excuse for my darling.”

I love this idea! For me i think its more about making them feel more real or relateable, yknow? Like if something is just 100% prioritizing looking cute over every other part of the design, it ends up drawing attention to the fact its supposed to be a marketable toy-seller and nothing else. It's good to tone down on the cute in order to communicate other parts of its design and add some personality, that makes it more memorable and synpathetic as a character.

An example I like to think of is Mimikyu. If they just went super strong into making it a cute pikachu fanboy, then it'd probably have ended up looking similar to all the other pikaclones. Making it's costume deliberately innacurate makes it more sympathetic, and actually way more cute than if it just had a steroetypically 'cuter' design! And similarly it could have just looked like a pikachu shaped creature that isn't pikachu, it could have been like how gengar compares to clefable. But instead by making it an armless floppy puppet doll with the real face in the wrong place, it gives it so much more ghostliness and makes the question of its real form actually intriguing! The same for its badly drawn pikachu face being mildly unnerving, its main gimmick involving a creepy twisty neck animation, and all the pokedex entries amping up its true form being so scary you'll literally die. It's a super versatile pokemon who can be creepy or cute, sad or angry, a million different interpretations just in official canon alone! If they went for a 100% "perfect" cute or indimidating pokemon it wouldn't be nearly as effective. It become synpathetic and socially awkward as a scary cutie, and an extra badass underdog as a cute scary!

The only thing i disagree with in this philosophy is the idea that oshawott's freckles make it LESS cute instead of more! They're damn adorable yo! Has anyone ever looked worse with freckles ever in the history of mankind?! I actually thought they were indeed a bit much and oshawott's design is too overly cutesy. Its a shame there arent many other freckled mons, cos it would be a nice touch of subtle cuteness on bigger tougher mons. Imagine if charizard had freckles! It'd be so much more relateable if we could see its badass but also immediately know it isnt 100% a scary monster and all. Like such a little detail would really say "even the biggest of monstery monsters can be your best most loyal of pals!" And charizard kinda needs it cos its the most boring design in the franchise, its just straight up a regular mythological dragon with no unique features except a tiny flame tail that carries over from its way better baby forms. But maybe i'm just bitter cos its been overexposed so much that it lost its luster? It sucks that pikachu and eevee have become quite "meh" due to being pushed so heavily in everything, too.

Ok im going offtopic so i need to stop, lol

This is exactly what I already liked about a lot of pokemon and what I already try to do with my stuff and I’m happy to know he had the same idea all along
