on the one hand i understand the impulse to give the mimihagi statue this metallic texture -- even though though the original art seemed pretty clearly wooden-- the large bronze(?) statue evoke a more impressive presence, especially in the dark of a temple interior. But the wooden one gave off a much more distinct vibe of the Nio statues (particularly the ones at Todaiji in Nara) that come in a pair guarding the left and right side of major temple gates. The most famous ones are specifically lacquered wood rather than stone or metal, and also share mimihagi's hagoromo, halo-like celestial scarf.

I've been enjoying @kursed-curtain's whiteboard a lot! I love doing these little community collabs, cause it helps me see everyone's absolutely adorable art and it helps w/ the challenge of working w/ a limited palette.

Anyway, here's some of my contributions (and faves)

Marketable plush corner (w/ reactions of course and a tiny timmy admiring his own markertable plush) AND A LITTLE AMELIA MARKETABLE PLUSH THAT'S SO CUTE!

I ended up being a bit selfish and requesting more fan art of amiller. I apologize for being a bit bratty about this ;-;

And a small art trade from our mysterious Liam and Lin artist. Not really an HH fan due to its... humor but I like how they designed amiller a lot!

And my contributions to the CCC gang! C'mon you know you want a soda from my man Timmy XD

also on the far right i've started my own "draw this character in your style" challenge here and it's a bit late, i know but hey, look, listen, hey hey hey hey he-

hiiiiiii desmond question: what got her into chess and why does she like it sm <3

OH THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE I HAVE A BIT OF AN ANSWER FOR IT ACTUALLY.

I thought about it some time ago and some details are muddy, but the short story is that Desmond was turned by her sire somewhere during the 1970s when she was studying the at-the-time equivalent of Computer Science in university (which university in which state is to be decided, as her backstory isn't precise to me just yet).

Desmond had, ever since she was small, an obsession with mathematics, and when the frontier of computer science was open to students she was ecstatic to become a scholar. At the time it was referred to generally as studies in automation, computing, and development of information theories as well as the creation of models of computations. I'm far from an expert on the subject but essentially she was very very fascinated by the idea of applying algebra, algorithms and mathematics to the fields of probability which would become some of the basis for computer automation, as well as hardware and software developments.

Chess was a natural passion for her because it also relies heavily on calculating probabilities and to some extent playing chess is like trying to figure out your opponent's "algorithm", she would say. I think this may as well be because in her program she was obsessed with trying to come up with computers that're unbeatable at chess - her experiments weren't always successful but it was something she was passionate about. She herself loved to play chess on her own, and her enjoyment of the game picked up even more when she tested her programs more often than not!

This would more or less explain a lot of the reason behind why she was turned and specifically why Tremere - while Tremere in general are seen as blood sorcerers, they tend to be very calculative which Desmond at all effects is to a hilariously literal degree. For her, everything can be a mathematical equation, if she tried hard enough to figure out which ones. Her interactions with others often come across as extremely curated, almost like she's playing chess in real time with her conversation partners in her mind, trying to find the best way to catch them off guard and "checkmate" them. The details behind her own embrace and her sire are (for now) very irrelevant I think, so it's not necessary to delve deep into it, but more or less this is why she's such a big chess girl.

And yes even in her unlife, in the 2000s, she is extremely passionate about computers and their development: she didn't lose practice when it comes to programming algorithms at all, either.

Her passion for mathematics is also kind of her biggest flaw, though, because Desmond cannot improvise. She works with a strict set of rules every time, and if anything ever so tiny goes wrong, her whole plan is ruined. She cannot handle surprises or distractions and tends to get frustrated quickly when she cannot resolve the imbalance in an instant (which is why she was attracted to Madonna and sired her, as Madonna is the complete opposite on the same spectrum - working in the medical field also has a set of rules, but expects you to be more flexible to handle things that go wrong out of nowhere).

I rambled again . BUT THANKS FOR ASKING ABOUT DESMOND. SHE IS TRULY THE SCHEMIEST OF SCHEMERS... I love that about her a lot i think. We talk about mad scientist tremeres but we need more mad fixated mathematicians tremeres imo (esp women thanks

inspired by @boldlettered... i couldn't stop thinking about naked sushi chewie.... sorry for who i am....... 🙈🙈

Something brushes over Charles’s right ribs and he can barely control his shaky exhale. He’d been ticklish as a child, easily teased by his brothers and his friends at school, but he’s mostly grown out of it now that he’s older. With a padded sleep mask secured tight around his head like a blindfold though, every sensation feels heightened, a burst of electricity skittering across his nerves. Each piece of sushi that had been carefully arranged on the bare skin of his stomach weighs heavily on him.

There’s a tug on his nipple, a firm pinch that feels too smooth and polished to be Lewis’s fingers. With a jolt, Charles realizes it must be his chopsticks, an artisanally carved wooden pair with lacquered handles that had come in a full set. Charles has never owned his own chopsticks before, always content with the flimsy disposable bamboo ones thrown into the bottom of his bag with his takeout. But things have been different now that he’s met Lewis. Now he uses eco-friendly reusable silicone storage bags in the kitchen and keeps his fridge stocked with oat milk.

And he lets himself be stripped down on Lewis’s custom live-edge walnut dining table, laid out like a feast.

DEATH BALL[デスボール]

[hearteyedbunny]

looking up at Danse through my pretty eyelashes. he stares at my eyes, they're hazel and beautiful in the light. he glances lower, my lips are pink and smiling at him, moving in words that he can't quite decipher because he's distracted. he thinks my bunny teeth are cute. he starts to sweat at the sight of me, tracing all of my features as his mind is filled with thoughts of what he wants to do to me. what he wants those pretty lips wrapped around. he flitters his eyes away from my gaze, ashamed and embarrassed and frustrated.
