#THEYRE SO ADORABLE WAHHH

[solarfanatic]

GIGGLES I LOVE THEM

First part of Love Potion 2.0, Sun falling in love with these two were decided by this poll!

Moon was kinda just throwing random things in the fight, he might’ve (somehow) mixed up his new healing potion with his altered love potion… and now Sun’s fallen in love with him AND Eclipse!

Eclipse is yelling at Monty(or Montry as I call them for a convenient nickname-) about using a gun in a crowbar fight-

(Note: in MaSm Sun and Moon have established that they don’t see each other as related)

[baileythebean]

Do you have any proper refs for Ako? He's such a cutie. (I adore his little swimsuit look, and I needed some drawing inspo. + again. hes so cute.)

I adore all your little characters btw-- theyre all so silly.

WAHHH I LOVE AKO TOO (I might have a tiny crush on him hehe) I am working on a ref for him, but if you plan on doing anything with him soon, he usually looks like he did in the swimsuit pic, just with like, Pinterest emo clothes (seriously just go on Pinterest and find an emo outfit) and he also has a buncha different ear piercings and snake bites, but like, the rings. (They’re black) and that’s all :3 his eyes are more grey than blue, but I think it’s fine if you just color drop from the picture :3

I don't know if you've made any posts about it before, but what are your favorite pairings for each TWST character? It'd also be cool if you included staff or side characters, but feel free to not even do all of the main cast, I'm just curious!!

[astraystayyh]

U're so adorable I can't 🥹

Right??? It's like spending time with the characters, getting closer and warming up to them. And that's what we all want with SKZ, right? so it's just the best combo, I suppose.

I'm certain we all will love your ideas and new fics. You being excited for it just makes it better. Just... I mean, I will devour anything you have for us, but don't make us cry like you did with Echoes of Love? I can't take that twice 🥲 Which reminds me I still need to read part 2. I swear I will and I will tell you my thoughts on it (and how you destroyed me, much probably).

SKZ characterization is what I most look out in fics. There are times people try to write some tropes and it ends up distorting them. And, ok, some times it's still good, but we are here for them. I want to read them as I think they are. One more reason I stayed around here.

INNIE'S WAS WAY TOO CUTE OK IT JUST WAS I NEED MORE 😭

I am doing well, thanks! Well, at least for now. My classes start in two weeks and... Ugh. Just to think about it I get sad. Unfortunately uni for me is something really hard TuT But, well, I need to be glad I have the chance to do one, after all. I am, I truly am. It's just it's really difficult.

ANYWAY, glad to hear about you. And I couldn't upload the img but here is the link:

It's not an airport Hyunjin, but the ponytail... 🫠

YOU ARE!!!!

yesss :,))) i seriously get attached to my characters and in my brain theyre all thriving in a universe of their own 😭😭 and i agree!! i love when a fic includes little details related to every member, it just makes reading more immersive in a way, so i try my best to do it too :,) it’s so fun to weave their personality into the works so im very happy u like my characterization 🥹

AKSJNDJDBD if i say it might hurt more than echoes of love…. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ thank u for loving echoes of love sm wahhh im so happy u read my fic, makes me feel very fulfilled: :,)

aaaaa gooood luck on ur classes please enjoy the rest of your vacation!!!! i relate to the hard part :,) lets try to make the most out of this experience while we can!!! i believe in you 😚

AND THANK YOU FOR THE PIC MY ANGEL… save me ponytail hyunjin save me….

[francolapintogf]

okay just saw the pet cat and i have four so hope im not too late 🫶🏻

WAHHH THEYRE ADORABLE TYYYY

[cyberdragoninfinity]

Since you are watching the show, I wished to tell you some adorable information about the Zexal Manga- in the zexal manga while Yuma is shown to still stim / do stim like behavior and jump around, Astral is ALSO prone to movement based fidgeting and stimming, specifically when excited he will put his hands together and fidget around with his fingers.

Stim Friends !

WAHHH OH THATS SO CUTE!!! 🥺 STIM FRIENDS REAL AND SO TRUE!!! i definitely wanna read the zexal manga sometime after i finish the series (still need to chew through more of the 5ds manga too....i rly enjoy the spinoff mangas theyre so fun) so i am EXCITED to see this in person!!

[voidwritesstuff]

WAHHH DEM WHERE TO BEGIN???

First: I adore the way you describe a post similar to Lost Light. Its one of my fave levels of darksiders 2 and I alwahs found it so cozy. With your descriptions I caught on so fast and I felt that same sense of cozyness.

Your descriptions of the dialogue,how you cam feel each character speak only by how you Word things...woah. also I ADORE how you describe the angel markings.

Also I can feel the impact of strife's and war's presence not only in how when they approach the angels begin to call them names, but also during the fight and how the regret is instant. Really makes the reputation of the horsemen feel alive,you can feel it.

Speaking of the fight,what a sequence/gen. I love how you described it, bringing in Chaos and Anarchy were good ways to make the fight intense and short as to not take up too much "word time". Also what a beautiful, imposing snd terrifying image to have the child between Chaos and Anarchy.

And I love how you portray Strife's fight to cage Anarchy back into himself,how he reasons it out. Speaks to a level of insight strife has. "The threat is dealt with" I just love the idea of him saying that to Anarchy and most importantly his most basic insincts. I loove how you worded the inner fight like he could still taste it in his tongue- like hes literally swallowing it down, and on that same note it reminded me of an animal tasting blood in their mouth and the desire for more- which really illustrates strife's inner battle.

And the fluffy end really is the cherry on top. I honestly see the riders keeping this human as their charge and maybe their New sibling which is as fearsome as they are!!!! That would be one hell of an ending (and maybe the human gets their own horsie tool! And what a scene would it be to have them reunite with their mom years later when theyre grown and live as a nephilim nurtured mortal)

Ill take as Many parts as youre willing to write, my friend. Your stuff as always is amazing!

Fem Child reader x Strife/War platonic fluff! Strife and War knew humanity valued angels as their “saviors” and thought leaving S/O with some angels might be good. At least until they witnessed S/O innocently going up to them and the angels, envious and disgusted with humanity, swung one of their wings harshly at her like a hammer, leaving a nasty bruise and bleeding for the poor little girl. After “dealing” with the angels, both comfort her, who was confused/scared, wondering what did she do?

NOTES ↳ I was itching to write a part 2 for your initial request anon and then you delivered multiple snippets to work with. Bless! WARNINGS❕ ↳ Strife and War go a little crazy-protective mode — mention of blood and some bruising — some depiction of violence and death — bit of fluff? — mostly hurt/comfort — I think that's it?

✎ 2k ────────────────────────

Through the sundering Autumn of this angelic realm, the Horsemen follow along the old cobblestone path, its bleached appearance saturated against the accompanying pond to its side, a thin veil of watery shrubs and a glassy mist reside over the undisturbed surface.

Brought here in search of answers, the Horsemen ride with thoughtful and wary silence, aware that their presence here will likely be met with hostility. Even still, they’re willing to put themselves in the line of risk if it means getting you home safely. 

Your eyes are wide, lashes beating in quickened flashes so as to not miss a single sight around you as you marvel at the beautiful oasis. Rivers of water pour from the higher cliffs and disappear over the mysterious lip of the land that leaves you wondering what's down there.

“We should keep this brief, Strife,” War says, his voice tinged with discomforted nerves. His fists ring tight against Ruin’s chains. He is no stranger to battle, not with the likes of angels, but he’d rather keep from getting caught in a heated exchange of bloodshed simply because of their trespassing. 

“Agreed.” Strife’s own voice is a tad laced darker, gruffer and coiled tightly in his throat as if even uttering a reply renders his throat scratched raw. 

He has to remember as he holds you securely that this is for the best. If anyone had an inkling of an idea what to do with a wayward human child, it would be the angels. Strife wishes he could be more convinced that they would do right by you. 

The pearly white and golden-accented spire is highlighted by a fading stream of sunlight that slowly falls on the horizon. Armoured vanguards that protect this small sanctuary cast the blare of their eyes towards the Horsemen as if the two pose to invade this plateau on Heaven’s outskirts, the blinking twinkle of their helmed eyes turn smaller and thinned into threatened glares. 

Some of them mutter to their company of officers, hands firmly curled around their polearms. 

“Murderers…”

“Butchers…”

“Unholy abominations…” 

You do not heed the warnings the Horsemen do, both parties alert and tense of the other, but the only thing that seems to keep the angels at bay is you. 

“Horsemen,” the commander sneers, the amber flecks in his eyes spark with curt annoyance. “You should not be here.”

Dismounting, War answers with a rumble. “We seek assistance.”

Strife sets you down slowly, second guessing his decision just as your feet grace the intricately carved stone before he complies. Your small hands reach out and grab hold of the flowing garment of Strife’s scarf, following along like an eager pup at his heel as both Nephilim walk towards the commander and his protective hosts. 

“A child?” The commander sharply sputters, brows raised high to his forehead of cascading blonde locks pushed back past his ears. 

“How did you—”

Strife interjects suddenly, “We assume she must have come through a portal of some kind when we found her.”

A twisted version of the truth to keep their dealings with Vulgrim and Samael secret. They had no doubts that mentioning either would only turn the angels on them. 

Still visibly discontented by the Horsemen, the commander tilts his head back, eyes astute in his glaring study of them and paying little mind to your form that happily bounces and skips around their legs. Your attention is taken with a glittery butterfly that flutters about you, teasing your tiny nose, your grip slides away from Strife’s scarf and give chase to the familiar insect with a gleeful coo. 

Distantly, the conversation continues. “What is it you seek from us, Nephilim?”

Strife and War both bear an almost sickened snarl on their faces, bitter to the fact they must admit. The commander snickers, knowing what it is they very well mean to imply. 

“Humans regard Angels with… respect. They view you as insightful and protective entities.”

“Go on…” chides the commander, now grinning with pride. 

Strife barely holds back a growl before he continues. “Can we entrust her to you and that you will deliver her back home, unharmed?��

The commander rubs at his stubbled chin, eyes now lulled to relax, glimmering. “Well, it won’t be easy taking her back. Earth is sealed and bound in secrecy. A powerful ward protects the realm.”

“Explain yourself, Commander. How exactly can she return if Earth is sealed?” War says with a clenched grind of his teeth. 

Huffing, the commander shakes his head. “And your wanting to know is all the more reason not to tell you.”

Strife cannot help the fidgeting twitch of his fingers that sit upon the holsters of his pistols, something doesn’t sit well and it makes itself known with the unsettled churning in his gut. “You believe we have bad intentions?”

The commander rolls his shoulders back with a slitted stare. “I wouldn’t believe you would intend anything good if you knew of Earth’s location.”

Lead astray from the Horsemen’s protection, your eyes are captured by the majestic beauty of two female angels that stand idle by the flourishing gardens. Sensing something small, their eyes flick down at you, faces turned and coiled that you don’t perceive as disgusted as you offer a kind smile, gasping aloud in your awe. With a small hand stretched out, you try to gently touch the soft flowing feathers that gracefully sweep low to the ground. “Hello. You have pwe—p-retty wings.”

“Tsk! Begone human!” The feminine voice of the angel sounds more of a snake’s hiss. She bats her wing down hard against you. A yelp pulled from your throat, you're flung back under the windy current, causing your palms and knees to scrape across the stone. You push yourself up slightly, chin bobbling with a low whimper, you bring your hands out in front of you to see the swelling bruises and thin oozes of blood. It stings. It hurts…

Your eyes once filled with only adorable curiosity and wonder are taken over by fat tears that brew and spill down your rosy cheeks, eyebrows scrunched tight together. 

Strife’s voice chokes on a silently rung gasp that physically constricts in his throat, his golden eyes flare as heat scorches and writhes within his entire being. War, much like his counterpart, is unleashed from his honourable collar laying shattered ten yards behind him. Something cold and dark inevitably snaps inside each of the two brothers upon witnessing a terrible crime committed against a pure and innocent soul. 

They were wrong to trust in these corrupted halos that humanity lays so much trust and adoration in. It’s all a veil that they use to blind the poorer and unknowing mortals with — a facade.

Your cries grow louder into pained wails and it’s reason enough for Strife. All he can say at that moment is one thing. “Close your eyes.”

He attacks the moment your hands cup over your eyes, darting forward with a thrusting sprint Anarchy takes hold, its form shreds his skin through a voided circlet of flame, spurred on by his rage he bellows a rattling roar that twangs in the air as fracturing echoes. When the commander means to unsheathe his weapon, War plants himself in front of him. The length of the commander’s blade poised to strike the form of Anarchy now confronts the hulking mass of Chaos.

No longer are his eyes aglow with pedestal pride, instead replaced with a widened, remorseful glaze under the beast’s enormous shadow.

With a downward strike of his fiery sword, the commander succumbs to a blowing strike that dents and tears into his armor, a cleaving of blood splatters the ground around him in a messy pool.

Enraged and at the targeted head of a rear attack, Chaos pivots and swipes his blade at an oncoming fleet of angels that hover and dive at him. His tall stature leaps, standing protectively over you just like Anarchy who stands to his brother’s back, a spawn of packed fire unleashes from his gun arm. When the angel that dared to so much as ruffle her feathers at you wrongly means to strike the fronting blade of her polearm to Anarchy’s exposed flank, Chaos lashes an arm out and captures her in his clawed grasp. 

She writhes, wings beating profusely to break free but her attempts are futile. Brought near to stare her demise in the eye, Anarchy arches over, head bowed and horns almost caging her. As if the two contemplate her fate, Anarchy rolls his head to the side with a snorted huff, an act that calls her execution. 

The angel’s face pales, features faltering as if she can hear Chaos rumble, “With pleasure.” below a feral laced growl.

Her scream is barely heard before she is crushed by the callosal force of Chaos’ hand. 

Just as swiftly as it had begun, it was over. With the ensuing silence, you slowly lower your hands, nose scrunching a little. Eyes opened and vision slightly blurred by tears you manage to focus on War and Strife who approach you with a clatter and rattling of chinking armor in their haste to reach you. Your arms shoot out to them, voice whining with another small cry.

“Hey, hey,” Strife coos, trying in vain to keep his tone calm. His hands take hold of yours, cupping them entirely in his gentle grasp and carefully, his thumbs prod. “Let me see.”

“Ooch…!” You pout, more tears flow down your cheeks while Strife assesses the damage. Thankfully, mere scratches but in the end, his intuition had been right.

The angels couldn’t be trusted to take care of you. 

“They dare flaunt themselves as bearers of justice and honour… where is honour in hurting a child?” War spits venomously, the widened gate of Chaoseater’s blade embeds itself into the ground, splintering the stone into rubble beneath its furious wake. He growls, the vowel of Chaos on his tongue as a haunting presence. “They disgrace the bannered title as Humanity’s guardians.”

“W-why were they mean?” Your question is stunted by a series of hiccups, the ache and swelling on your hands and knees sore and uncomfortable. Both the brothers can sense your unease.

Your browline only furrows more, you ask, “Did I do someting?”

“No, little one,” assures War before his eyes meet Strife’s. “We were wrong to think they could take care of you. We thought…”

Strife sighs to himself. There still resides that surge of unwavering carnage, the bleed-through of who he formally was bound to take over but he holds fast. No, he will not succumb to it. They are gone, the threat is dealt with. Nobody will ever hurt you again. He swears it and he sees it in War’s eyes too. The enlarged form of War’s gauntlet folds out, inviting you to take hold of it. Your hand, so small and wounded, accepts it and he guides you onto your feet where you stand before him. 

“Cease those tears now, child.” War’s voice has grown warm and low, speaking with an ounce more of care. 

“Come on.” Strife’s arms hoist you up, carrying you back to Mayham where he mounts the saddle, War not far behind him. “Let’s get those scratches mended.”

Sniffling you nod and cling to Strife, guarded by the lifeline of their resolve to protect you. 

Your eyes blink, still glassy when they meet War’s hardened and hooded stare, he gives a nod of his chin. “We will keep you safe.”

Back along the winding stretch whence they came, Strife and War carry you through this realm’s faded season, the auburn leaves fall with slowed recession, coming untethered from the treetops. 

The glassy mirror reflects their passing on the pond’s surface, the boundless mists clearing with now final and eternal rest, relinquished from its hovering prison. You watch, eyes shiny and entranced by the leaves’ fall and cascade of waterfalls. 

You clench your fingers into your palms, wincing at the dullened sting and Strife tenses. His hand curls to the reins and with a stern, commanding kick he sends Mayham into a fearsome gallop followed by War. Both riders head elsewhere, now untrusting of anyone else to care for you, to ensure that you are returned home. 

It is up to them to guide your way home.

I am going to add on to the masked man au I have seen on your blog.

Kazuma regains consciousness and gets to Britain.

He sees the masked man and Ryunosuke talking, probably with some flirting.

(also what if during 2-5, masked man is playable cause ryunosuke is out of commission and he is the defence while Kazuma is the prosecution. Would. Would that be cool or what?)

(totally not thinking of ryunosuke wearing the masked man's cloak—)

youre fucking killing me actually

[xiaophobic]

OKAY SO UH MY TEAM AS FOR RIGHT NOW CONSISTS OF FISCHL YANFEI XIAO AND QIQI (WHO I GOT YESTERDAY AAA!!) so i basically imagine this going down this way;

because of the fact that i cant talk,, like i rarely talk i think i would get a little close to xiao by just us,, sitting in silence ya know?! hes probably just like “??” the first couple of times but im just sitting beside him so hes like “fine ig🤨”

i think that fischl and yanfei would get ALONG,. THEY BOTH TALK SO MUCH,, i think they would be the two that actually carry the conversations considering me or xiao wouldnt😭😭

i think yanfeis lowkey very intrigued by fischls stories JSJDJS even tho she catches on that theyre not true after sometime she still likes to listen to her talk and in exchange yanfei can go on abt law to her and she would listen as well

so i think those two would hit it off immediately and as for xiao at first he would be like “years of fighting demons and karmic debt really led me to this??” but after sometime he started to tag along because he feels like he has to protect the rest bc “theyre idiots but theyre my idiots🙄”

AS FOR QIQI,, the baby of the group 100%,, xiaos very scared and unsure at first considering their backstory but after he notices she doesnt remember anything, he tries his best

(yes im here to spread my older brother xiao agenda)

fischl definitely tells qiqi stories and xiao tries to learn how to braid her hair</3

he swear he doesnt care but everyone could see his eyes watered a little bit when qiqi brought him flowers from her walk with yanfei

xiaos thoroughly confused about yanfei — shes an adeptus?? but she doesnt serve rex lapis?? but after sometime he gets to the conclusion that maybe its for the better. he doesnt wish for her to go through what he did

again abt me and xiao considering we both dont really,, sleep a lot for multiple reasons i think thats the moment when we would probably start to talk a little bit to each other ya know

WAIT ALSO OZ,, qiqi loves oz but shes confused abt him😭😭 and oz just tells her stories too

after sometime fischl probably slowly drops the way she talks and everyone knows it happened because she begun to trust them and everyones touched about it

i mentioned it before but yanfei absolutely takes qiqi outside when its colder and shes the one that does her exercises with her (..and xiao joins),, she also reminds her of her notebook,,

oh about fischl and xiao,, i think shes a little bit intimidated by him at first, but then he starts to warm up and i think she also begins to treat him like an older brother figure</3

honestly after time if anyone needs help with their hair they go to xiao

I HAVE MUCH MORE BUT THIS IS GETTING LONG SO ILL STOP NOW SJDHJS

XIAO BEING A BIG BROTHER FIGURE TO LITERALLY ALL OF THEM 💖💕💘💓💝💞💗

I AM SO SOFT AND ABSOLUTELY BEHIND THE BIG BROTHER AGENDA!!! i feel like that dynamic would exist in my team as well, with zhongli being the designated father figure he’s definitely the big brother that keeps mfs in line when he’s not around y’know AAHSHHABS

fischl and yanfei talking each other’s ears off ☹️ them just being happy that someone finally hears them and listens WAHHH THATS SO CUTE

AND BABY QIQI!!! GOD I WISH I HAD HER MAN SHES ADORABLE,, HER BRINGING XIAO BACK FLOWERS IM GONNA CRY

pls xiao and i would be the insomniacs too, except i’m way more annoying and talkative 🥴 but your team is amazing, they are a little family :))

IF YOU HAVE MORE SEND THEN IN??? I DO NOT CARE ABOUT ASKS BEING LONG I WILL ANSWER THEM 🤬🤬 I LOVE READING THIS SHIT GIMME

i love your postcard artwork for the zolu playlist SO much!! the colours are so so good and i love the brushwork! i think my favourites are a tie between the one for chikai and the one for simple song <3 also, I was wondering if you could share what brushes you used + how long they took you! looking at your art makes me want to draw again after not doing it for so long

Thank you!! and wow i think this is the first time someone's asked me for my brushes, this is like a digital artist rite of passage!

Answers n screenshots n stuff under cut (I went a little to ham on this oops)

While we're talking settings I want to give a quick PSA to all digital artists:

CHECK UR ASPECT RATIO!!!: (MOST IMPORTANT SETTING BY FAR)

DO NOT DRAW WITH THIS ALL MESSED UP, IT WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY. It's probably good to check this after every system update (I don't, but, you know...). Windows likes to mess w your shit when it updates.

If you have a really tiny tablet you might need to trace outside a bottle lid or something.

Okay now on to the meat of the post

-- Brush Stuff --

I use Clip Studio Paint. For my playlist drawings I think I only used these brushes (these are my main 3 in general) (p.s. they're all default brushes! but i've adjusted the settings):

1) Gouache This is most of what i used for the postcards. I nuked Color Stretch because i hate it (it blends colors together as you're painting, like painting over wet paint. I prefer things to look more crisp)

2) Real G-Pen Used this as little as possible, to keep the painterly effect. My preferred fine-detail pen, has a nice crunch to it. I've fine-tuned my setting further in the thickness dynamics / brush size dynamics settings because I mostly use this brush for linework and wanted it to handle really, really naturally and precisely

The random box is checked by default, probably to make this brush feel more like handling a real inkdip pen (I don't like that)

3) Mapping Pen Least used. I generally keep this brush at the 50-70px range. It's unpleasant to use for detail work (the taper is really fiddly at my tablet pressure settings) but good at filling in large areas very opaque very quickly, with a crisp edge (Also, doesn't lag as much as the gouache brush at large-ish sizes). Has enough wiggle room that it can be used to approximately fill tighter spaces at large brush sizes. Used for when I needed to quickly color over an area that wasn't working or quickly fill in background color that didn't need paintbrush texture. Did not realized the stabilization was set to 10 until just now. I usually turn that waaay down to prevent lag (my laptop isn't very old but it's a sensitive beast)

Other stuff that'll help:

General pen pressure: (under File -> Pen Pressure Settings)

tweaking how CSPaint handled my pen pressure helped a lot with making lineart look more natural. It's worth messing around with this and trying out different settings for a while to see how they feel.

-- How Long it Takes 2 Draw --

I don't really keep track of how long art takes me from start to finish, and making the playlist drawings was kinda nonlinear 😅 sorry!

-> I started out sketching really quick composition and color ideas as the songs were playing, limiting myself to just the duration of each song (so like, 5 minutes for this part) -> i did that again at least 2 more times per song -> after that, idk. I would work on one pic then get stuck and move to another. Some I could hammer out in like... 5 hours? Some took me upwards of 20 (30?) hours for no real reason (I have "will graham clock" days, where I'll try to draw a face over and over and it'll look really strange, like will graham's clock drawing every time) (this seems to be either a vitamin deficiency or a brainfog inflammation type thing 4 me 😵‍)

I'll use ur two favorites as specific examples: -> Chikai was one that went pretty quickly (with the exception of their arms and the clothing folds there giving me trouble). Probably took 4-6 hours? -> Simple Song had a couple different versions, partially because I initially had the cards all laid out landscape-style, and I decided I actually wanted them all portrait-style & repainted it after it was already done. That aside, the colors /atmosphere on that one gave me trouble and the general composition / perspective had a lot of tweaks (I was trying to figure out if I wanted it to be a kinda flat stylistic perspective or if I wanted it to make more literal sense, trying to figure out what to do with luffy, trying to make him not look Too baby boy sweetie pie). Probably took 7-10 hours...?

In-progress landscape versions: (varying levels of in-progress)

Misc in-progress of Chikai and Simple Song:

Simple song looks kinda sequential like this lmao. Luffy looks like he's A-posing and floating away to the boat and then sitting down pleasantly in it. Wonderful. --

Anway -- hope any of that was helpful!
