[bbutterflies]

happy holidays @bukashki!!! I’m your secret santa for @mlsecretsanta! here’s some cozy chrismtas marichat just for you 🥰🥰

[itsonlypolite]

Okay this one I did very quickly today but I wanted to draw the voices my friends got in their first playthroughs/were their favorites in outfits that they wear (for example I got Broken as my first voice so I drew him in one of my favorite outfits) here are the results!

Contrarian's wearing @crouton-merit's clothes, Skeptic is likewise in @passerinearts's outfit, and Opportunist is matching @cammieyammie's persona! (Cheated's person made fun of me when I suggested they get a Tumblr haha)

My finished Bear piece! Acrylic gouache on canvas paper (9 x 12 inch). You might have seen some process pictures from a week or so ago on bluesky. I scanned it now.

Is the bear going to catch the salmon or not? We'll never know.

This was a lot of fun to paint. I'm excited to make more!

The sketching begins.

Painting now...

One more process image.

#8 with someone who is just obliterated with how badly they need to sleep (Spock? Crowley? Idk follow your heart)

There's a few Crowley requests, so I went with Spock here who will simply NEVER admit he is tired

hello :]

that's a big bulk of pictures but I had so many ideas to draw that I literally had to stop myself from drawing too much lol

had so much fun stylizing them (if that's okay ^^') and thinking of their different dynamics ur ink is especially fun to draw they're so cool...

drawing ur designs also made me notice a bunch of different little details like nightmare having his little gang's souls on his chest, of the lines on dream's and nightmare's faces, or ink's flowy scarf and a bunch of other stuff. and these little details make me appreciate them even more :}}}

DUDE OMG OMG I AM FREAKING OUT SO BAD /VPOS

THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD IN YOUR STYLE!!!!!

AND THEY WAY THEY ACT!!!! AUGH........it's so real.........you did so well with their characters...I.....guh.......I am diesing........

“Now, kneel to me!”

A card for @beneathsakurashade ‘s fan event Seven Sins and Punishments!! Voice lines, full outfit, and trivia under the cut!!

Summon: “Now, kneel to me!”

Groovification: [LOCKED]

Set to Home Screen: Time to ship off! Don’t wanna be left behind!

Home Transition 1: I love, love, love ballgowns! Look at how it spins!!

Home Transition 2: “The sun is always alone, like me,” … I know she was, you know, evil, but it’s hard not to feel bad for the kid…

Home Transition 3: I can’t sing, and don’t ask me to, but it’s still fun going to musicals and stuff! Even more so that we get to dress up for it.

Home, after login: A message of regret, a bottle in the ocean… that’s certainly a long shot.

Home transition Groovification: If that one story’s right, the princess was real lucky to have a twin to take her place. Me and my siblings look nothing alike! … And the fact I’m years older than them.

Tap Home 1: Ballroom dancing isn’t so bad once you get the hang of it, and there’s the bonus of it making you feel fancy!

Tap Home 2: Since the princess had a set of hand mirrors, I found some to match! Look, they fold—isn’t that cool? Never seen any like it before!

Tap Home 3: I don’t get it that often, but brioche bread is soooo good! I can see why the original princess liked it so much!

Tap Home 4: I heard the original princess was a blonde, but I don’t like wigs, and my outfit’s different enough that I think it’s okay.

Tap Home 5: Hey, hey-! Stop pulling on the ribbon, I don’t know how to fix it if it comes undone!

Tap Home Groovification: [LOCKED]

[fullyvisible]

let your followers get to know you!! list the top 5 books you've read this year and then send this ask to other blogs you like

Oooh, I love this ask (and thank you to @arleney for also asking me!!)

I'm going to put these in the order I read them rather than a ranked order because it was already hard enough to pick 5 :)

1. Hell Is A World Without You by Jason Kirk: people overuse the phrase "this book should be required reading for everyone" but like. This one SHOULD be! It's an absolutely wonderful novel that explains more about growing up in Evangelical Christianity - and becoming disillusioned with it - than any lecture or thinkpiece could hope to do. I laughed, I cried, and I learned some stuff!

2. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin: this book rewired something in my brain. I know I said I'm not ranking the books within the list but this one might be my favorite. I read it in March and I'm still thinking about it. It's just compelling!!

3. The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic: these traumatized boys and their stickball have an unbreakable hold on me. And, somehow, this unexpected sequel CANONIZED an unbelievable number of headcanons I'd made. I felt like a god. A very happy god!!

4. The Pairing by Casey McQuiston: this book was so delightfully fun, and it pulled at my heartstrings in just the right way. Favorite CMQ book since Red, White, and Royal Blue (which is saying something, because I've enjoyed their others!). A+ 10/10 would read again.

5. Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth: I desperately needed this book as a teenager. Getting it as a 30-something was the next best thing. It's YA, but I almost suggested it for my women's book club at work. I still might! SO MANY women and girls need this book. 💜

HEY FAITH!! HOW’RE YOU DOING TODAY?

as im sitting here making fascinating concoctions (drinking to see if i can make dr pepper in my own home), ive been thinkin’ about the chain and such and i was wondering what your thoughts and opinions were on who (NOT including Wild) the most likely to get up to some odd shit at 3 am would be. I mean like, experimenting with desserts or drinks and such

anyways I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY

- crazylittlejester

HEY JES!! IM DOING GOOD TODAY!!! HOW ABOUT YOU?! I've been having a lot of fun with the mini fics, which by the way, I'll be writing yours hopefully in the next couple of hours. I don't know when it will be posted, but it will be posted as soon as I finish it!

I love this question so much! Like, I make little weird concoctions of food and drinks all the time, myself. I kid you not, I was literally just sitting here and thinking of something I could make with the random ingredients I have 😅

The boring answer to your question would be all of them because I so see them all doing this, but I'll give a better answer 😂

I believe that Wind would get caught all the time making these random concoctions, but I also feel like Four would make them. He just doesn't get caught, so no one knows he does this stuff. I don't know why, I can just see this being the case. What's your opinion?

Anyways thanks for the ask!!! I hope you are having/had a great day!

@crazylittlejester

[frat-house-collective]

11, 15, and 51 for the ask game!!/nf :3

Ooooh yippie!!! Thank u for the ask!!!1!1

11. Have you ever had a change in hosts?

We've switched hosts a few times now, maybe three times I think? The first was [REDACTED], she was sort of...I don't want to say the original, but she was very young and sad and confused. Then we had Alex, who was more angry than sad. They were host from about 2019-2021 and are now dormant. Then we had Eddie, who's still around a whole lot, but isn't host anymore. He's cool. He likes cooking (which is good because no one else in this house does lmao). Aaand now we have me (Duff).

15. Current fronter(s), share some info about you!

Okay, so I (Duff) am an alien (like our pfp) and, what else, I drive a beat-up flying star-van in headspace. I might draw it one day (we suck at drawing vehicles lol), but for now just picture a very beat-up rusty orange van with dark blue speed stripes...it has little plane wings on the sides too, in between the wheels. My species also like...photosynthesises but from...music instead. Pretty cool.

YAYAYYAYAYAY OKKKKK im Scottie (HI GUYS!!!!) ummm I like writing, doesnt matter if its actually good or if its shitty badly written fanfic like My Immortal LOL.....um i also rly like the downtown fiction, go check em out if u like pop-rock and like.....2010s shit. theyre rly cool!!!1111 I also LUV making kandi!!1!1 ^^

51. Current fronter(s), describe your aesthetic!

Duff: Think 'Guardians of The Galaxy'....that's me. Also like...just aliens and space in general, brightly coloured leather jackets, DND type things, spaceships and futuristic shit but like....cassette tapes and vinyl records. Lots of blue, hot pink and red!

Scottie: OH HELL YEAH k so im like....emo-scene-ish?? Like um...skinny ripped black jeans, beat-up vans and converse, worn-out band tees, side-swept hair, 2 much eyeliner, black and blue nail-polish...uhhhh fingerless gloves, lots of kandi, layered belts, u get the idea!!!!11 OwO

Aaaand that's it!! This post turned out kind of long, so if ya stuck around to read the whole thing, you're our best friend now. /s

[zero-witch]

Actually the best show I have ever been to holy SHIT you guys

[persimminwrites]

in an effort to stop hoarding all of my notes on rawl/the 77th like a dragon - im going to start periodically posting them here! (as long as it doesnt directly spoil or reveal anything about the fic im planning). starting with answering some of these questions for calla and cyrus!!!

(btw calla is my jedi oc and cyrus is her master. linked some art ive done in the past of them <3)

How did they meet?

Cyrus is meditating one day in a garden in the Grand Temple. Calla is a Jedi Initiate at the time, age 7, and has snuck away to the garden during lunch hour because she loves plants and being in the garden. (She will often come back at the end of lunch hour with dirt-smudged cheeks, dirt under her fingernails, and a big smile on her face.) When she walks into the garden on this day, Cyrus is meditating in a corner right next to her favorite sapling. He is sitting, but he is taller than the little sapling that she has started to think of as a friend. (She’s a little bit shorter than the sapling.) The first thought that strikes her is that he’s taller sitting down than her friend, which makes her giggle. Cyrus doesn’t react to her giggle and continues meditating. Calla is fascinated by his montrals and lekku. She has a friend, Kili, who is a togruta, but Kili is still a youngling like her, and she has only seen glimpses of Master Shaak Ti in the halls. She walks up to him and plops down in the grass in front of him. He continues meditating, and she waits patiently for him, doing her best to mimic how he has positioned himself. As soon as she settles into position, he opens his eyes to look at her. “Hello, youngling.” She asks if he likes her friend as well, pointing to the sapling next to him. “Yes, it is good company for meditation.” From that day on, Calla finds Cyrus in the garden very frequently during her lunch hour. She often talks his ear off about the plants and which ones she loves and how she takes care of them. He often meditates while she gardens and spends her lunch hour there. She starts mimicking him as well and asking him questions as soon as he opens his eyes to look at her crisscrossed on the ground in front of him. She can be impatient, waiting for him to open his eyes, but she tries her best because she finds him so fascinating. He begins providing her with instruction, for meditation in particular, but he answers all of her questions. He helps her with tasks in the garden when she asks. She completes the Initiate Trials four months after meeting him in the garden, and he selects her as his Padawan.

2. How long have these two characters known each other?

Calla is 24 at the start of the Clone Wars, so they have known each other for 17 years at the beginning of the war.

4. How would they describe each other if asked? Physically? In personality?

Cyrus would describe Calla as headstrong, stubborn and at times prone to impatience, but he would also describe her as an incredibly dedicated Jedi, one with an inquisitive mind, a drive to improve herself, and a boundless capacity to care for other living things. Calla is the first Padawan that Cyrus has taken, and he has a lot of respect and love for her. Calla would describe Cyrus as reserved and, at times, difficult to read. His silences hold as much weight with her as his words. (Not in a silent treatment way – he is just very careful with his words, especially once he becomes her Master.) She thinks he is wise, endlessly patient, and one of the most intelligent people that she has ever encountered. Beyond that, she knows that he is cunning – it is a trait that she associates most with him. And as with Cyrus, Calla has a lot of respect and love for her Master.

6. Do they have any shared interests/hobbies? Do they ever do these hobbies together?

They garden together, of course. It is something they associate so strongly with one another by the time Calla has become a Knight. It is one of Calla’s favorite things, to be around plants, and Cyrus initially uses it as a tool for his teachings. It eventually morphs into something they just do together, rather than Cyrus only using it as a teaching tool. They also play Go together. Cyrus loves Go and begins teaching Calla when she is young. Calla plays with him because she loves learning from him and asking questions, even though she isn’t very good at Go.

8. How do they communicate with each other? Are there any recurring phrases or gestures unique to their relationship?

Cyrus communicates more with actions than words. When he becomes Calla’s Master, verbal communication outside of what is considered “lecturing” is not something that comes naturally to him, but he works on it to be a better Master to her. Since Calla is young when they meet and eventually becomes his pupil, the way Cyrus communicates shapes her own communication as well. She often shows how she feels through action rather than saying it aloud. They are very different people, and are bound to disagree at times, though they have so much respect for one another it is not often a serious disagreement. When they do have a serious disagreement, apologies are shown rather than said. Calla will go get Cyrus’ Go board and set it up for them to play, or Cyrus will join her in the garden. As far as recurring phrases, Cyrus will often tell Calla, “Be calm. Look inward.”, at times when she is struggling or stressed. It is a phrase she begins saying to herself as she gets older – a comforting reminder of his teachings. As far as recurring gestures are concerned, Cyrus is not someone who displays physical acts of affection. He is very reserved, and though he isn’t truly isolated from the other Jedi in the Order, he does tend towards solitude. However, when Calla becomes his Padawan, he realizes that he can’t impair her development with his tendencies towards solitude. He encourages her to form friendships and doesn't discourage any physical gestures of affection she may show towards him, even if he does not initiate them himself. The gesture he uses most often to show affection/support/pride is resting his hand on her head. (He is 7.5’ tall, and I feel this is important to point out here lol.) He stops doing this as she gets older, but during some really trying moments during the Clone Wars, he tries to offer her comfort with this gesture. When Calla is younger, Cyrus is obviously so much taller than her. (He is like a giant to her, almost mythical in his size – this plays into some of her reverence for him as her master. He seems almost “larger than life”.) She gets his attention by tugging on his robes or fingers if she can reach them. She continues this into being a teenager – it is a gesture for attention but also one of affection. I would say that an act of unspoken communication or companionship between them is joining the other in meditation. Even once Calla is a Knight and no longer training directly on Cyrus, they meditate with one another often, and they always sit directly in front of one another – just like Calla did when she was a child.

15. Do they trust each other? Why or why not?

Absolutely. Calla would probably say that they have “unshakable trust” in one another. However, this trust is tested during the Clone Wars. Cyrus’ position as General of a battalion of spies, a battalion that typically deals with the darker sides of a war – like subterfuge, strategy and eventually assassinations, forces him to make decisions that a Jedi Master would not have had to typically make prior to the Clone Wars. These decisions shake Calla, and she begins to question many things, including Cyrus’ decisions. Cyrus trusts Calla as well. During the war, he trusts her with many thoughts and emotions that he does not trust with anyone else. He sees her resolve in him waver, but he always puts his trust in her. In a way, he puts too much trust and perhaps too much expectation on her and asks much of her during the war.

22. When were they the most vulnerable with each other?

There is A Scene during the war that I have jotted some thoughts down about, and it is where they are most vulnerable and at their most volatile with each other. :)

i didn't answer all of the questions for them. mostly just cherry picked what i wanted to think about because i've been meaning to do more development and brainstorming on their relationship. thank you so much @jgvfhl for sending me those questions i will be using them for a few other ocs <333333333
