#These fanarts are so gorgeous and I would absolutely love to know who the artists are

*slams open door*

Mochi! Mochi! I have an idea.

So a troupe I see on pixiv fanart is a character swapping with their future selves. I saw one where Azul wakes up in bed with his future wife Yuu and she's teased him because she can tell it's past Azul and he doesn't recognize her. She gives him a hint how to recognize her by some birthmarks she has on her chest.

I've seen a couple artists do it with Floyd as well, and a fanfic with past and future Yuu swapping with each other and poor younger Malleus is overwhelmed because OMG this beautiful woman is flirting with me and she's my future wife? There's something hilarious about the younger guys just not knowing how to handle the future version of Yuu.

So now I'm thinking how funny it would be for Past!PTMYuu swapping places with future!PTMYuu. Like P!Yuu wakes up in an unknown house in somebody's bed and confused as fuck and gets even more confused because suddenly these little kids are running in, telling Mommy it's time to get up and Yuu's like, who's mommy? Then who should walk in but Jade telling the kids to let Mommy rest and then he notices that the Yuu in their bedroom is not his wife(Yuu's still wearing her NRC uniform and shouldn't fit it anymore after getting older and having kids) and ohh he's going to have fun with this. He'll start in with the thoughts "ohh my beautiful pearl was absolutely adorable back at NRC, look at how tiny and cute you were, I know you can hear me pearl..." And fuck he knows about her telepathy. Poor Yuu overloads with the fact that Jade actually married her, they have kids, and is still so damn in love with her as he was at NRC.

Meanwhile F!Yuu is back at Past NRC and is calming down Yuu's friends. No, your Yuu is fine. If I'm right she's with my husband and kids right now and he'll take care of her. Some of the cast are obviously curious about Yuu's husband and F!Yuu is all "nah... sorry I can't say, don't wanna mess with the future." and of course the one who wants to know the most is Jade. F!Yuu is laughing to themselves because man, they remember how down horrendously Jade was in school and he doesn't know at this time that Yuu can read his thoughts. I'd like to think Yuu learned to better control the telepathy so she just tunes into his thoughts every now and then and it's just his thoughts bouncing around like "Oh seven my pearl is absolutely gorgeous in the future. Please tell me I'm your husband. I have to be! What would our kids look like. How many would we have? Do they look like my pearl or me? I hope one looks like my pearl they'd be the cutest baby!"

Eventually somebody figures out how to send the Yuu's back to their right time. Hugs for everybody but P!Jade gets a quick peck on the cheek before F!Yuu hops into whatever portal is sending her back and the last thought she hears from P!Jade is him screaming in his mind how much he loves her.

P!Yuu gets back and now has to deal with Jade's even more thoughts about the future and apparently a few others people thinking that man, Yuu's gonna be such a milf in the future.

Somebody please help Yuu, poor thing can only take so much.

Ah I love silly time travel stories (I ignore paradoxes) and this is one of my favorite tropes! It's what one of the fics from the poll is based on, but with all of the overblot cast instead!

I'm so excited to write it, I have many ideas for everyone, especially Leona and Idia's chapters!!

For Jade though, I think it would be so funny. He's positively enamored seeing milf/dilf Yuu. He's internalizing everything, of course, so no one except Yuu and Floyd and Azul can really tell he's being affected.

He's staring a little longer than he really should, but he's surprised that future Yuu doesn't seem to mind. In fact, they're much calmer than usual. Usually they'd be excitable with their friends and quite shy and quiet with him. But future Yuu looks at him with such fondness that Jade lets himself dream that they look at him like that because they're future spouses.

(In the back of his mind, there is a mix of hope and dread. That's a wedding band on their hand. They're taken, but was it by him?)

Imagine everyone's surprise and shock when, right before leaving, future Yuu walks up to Jade (even in the future, they haven't grown much) to tip toe and press a sweet little kiss to the cheek as they cup his face with the absolute most tenderness.

Jade's frozen, the others are murmuring to each other, and future Yuu disappears and in their place is their original Yuu. Red-faced, covered in a large brown coat that most definitely does not belong to them, and staring Jade down.

Covering their red-face and all. Poor Jade is now giddy and a bit concerned (he hopes that scream was due to flusteredness and not fear, though he does love how entertaining they always are), while Yuu is screaming into their couch as they try to process several things, including the knowledge that they weren't at all displeased knowing that they married Jade.

It's so nice to see that other people ship Omera with Din! I didn't realize how small the ship is, but I loved them together. And I keep hoping we'll see her again (a nonsensical hope? probably). Anyway, I am curious, do you have any headcanons or general thoughts about them that you want to share? I've literally never seen people talk about them before

YES. The only other person I know is a Mandomera appreciator is @wings-and-beskar, and I literally screamed out loud when I found out. They would be so perfect together! With their little blended family, on a peaceful world where Grogu could chase frogs to his little heart's content and grow up with all the village kids who adored him. And Din wouldn't have to struggle for every single basic necessity; he could just chill and drink spotchka and be an excellent father to Grogu and Winta and all the other babies he'd inevitably make with Omera. God damn, Cara Dune knew what was up (not her actor, though).

And I agree, I keep hoping beyond reason that we'll see more of Omera, because she's intriguing as hell. Clearly, she has some history, because she is a sharpshooting badass who is excellent in a crisis, while still being warm and kind. I have a mighty need to know her back story, and a sinking feeling that we'll never find out.

Not to mention that their chemistry is absolutely off the charts. To be fair, Din has chemistry with literally every character, but damn. This scene?

Just watching the gif is giving me butterflies. Like. I need a shower from the thots this is generating.

The hands. On the wrists. Oh, my god.

Please, Din. I am begging you. Retire to Sorgan and ride that gorgeous widow into the sunset.

BTW there exists an extraordinarily spicy fanart (caveat emptor: Reddit link; wildly NSFW; minors absolutely DNI) of these two that lives rent free in my head at all times. I think the artist may have deleted their account, but this epic bit of filth lives on in their memory. May their pillow be forever cool.

I would absolutely love to read any headcanons or thoughts you have as well, and if there are any other Mandomera shippers lurking out there, please consider this my official invitation to scream about them with me!

[azure-firecracker]

(keep pretending these asks are coming from mulders-too-large-shirt) do you have a favorite txf fan artist? i was initially referring to drawings/visual art when i typed this up, but expanding to writers, gifmakers, etc would be awesome :D

Oh my gosh this fandom has SO MANY talented artists! I will say I don’t look at a ton of fanart right now because a lot of it has spoilers in it but here’s a few:

-Of course the incomparable @scullysmywife who makes wonderfully detailed art (drew their profile pic! Look at it!) They were kind enough to make some fanart for Raise Your Voices which actually made me cry, and they’re just generally a lovely human.

- @katebeckets is a phenomenal gifset maker and comes up with these creative and heart-melting series that I just love. The current series is “how to say I love you in X-Files” and my heart does a little happy dance every time I see a new installment!

- @rosenkranz-does-things makes amazing vintage-style art and has a super cool series of Old Hollywood-style episode posters that I absolutely adore.

I’ve seen SO MUCH gorgeous fanart, but those are the 3 I can really name. For writers, I have a few more. These are all people who, if you open any TXF work of theirs, you know it’ll be fantastic!

- @baronessblixen

- @thursdayinspace

- @actual-changeling

- @theswisscheeserag

- @cecilysass

- @agent-troi

And many more!

Celestial Navigation by @sabrecmc

18 year old Omega!Tony finds himself Bonded to Captain Steve Rogers. He isn't happy about it until he is.

An absolutely gorgeous story of learning to love yourself, even when you feel like you don't fit in & that you grew up wrong. I'm so happy to have gotten to bind this mammoth work for Sabre & as a gift exchange for @mourningmountainsbindery (who bound me this beautiful copy of Astolat's Let the River Run—JUST LOOK AT THAT COVER!).

Also to anyone who has @ed me lately (looking at u, em @powerful-owl & tacky @tackytigerfic particularly) & I've been derelict in responding, here is WHY.

This has been the longest binding project I've undertaken, both in page count and in time. My original message to Sabre was on March 16th—can't decide if I want to use the laughing or crying emoji here—and the colophon says I made the book in April 2023 (which was when I started typesetting, maybe). I had been randomly perusing dying videos on Youtube in bed on a Saturday morning, as one does, and came across a video showing how to spiral tie-dye. I IMMEDIATELY had a design premonition of the full design for this fic as a two-volume set, planted into my brain wholesale by the binding gods. I learned many new techniques throughout the process (edge painting, edge trimming/sanding, tie-dying/dyepainting, embroidery, typesetting meta from tumblr which copy-pastes with the worst goddamn formatting in the world, kill me now). Overall, alternately extremely painful & wonderful, and I'm extremely proud of this set.

Design-wise, I went whole-hog with the scifi stars theme. Endpapers are recolored versions of the star charts from the Apollo 11 mission:

Title page & chapter titles are both rips in the galaxy:

Epigraphs both star-themed:

Some more glamor shots because I'm so proud 💕

8.6 lbs // 3.8 kgs worth of books (~3000 total pages) 🥰

Celestial Navigation is also INCREDIBLY popular, and Sabre has been incredibly generous answering asks on her tumblr + writing additional one-shots in the universe. There is also a veritable volume of fanart. I was so inspired by seeing @robins-egg-bindery copy of ********, with its appendix of fanart & meta, that I promptly copied them.

fanart redacted because lots of the artists are no longer active on tumblr but just know i am ECSTATIC about the amount of art in these books

Lastly, I love how @clovenhoofbindery includes their 'Illustrator mess' with their bind posts, as a behind-the-scenes look into the wild process of designing these books. I don't actually have an Illustrator mess for this book (the chapter titles & title page pretty much came in one take), but I do have a DYING MESS. It took me sososo many tries to figure out how to get the dye to look how I imagined in my head. I ended up 'dye painting' instead of tie-dying in the end, but my inbox is always open to chat hand-dying/tie-dying/dyepainting (or what I did differently between any of these attempts). Numbers are the dying attempt.

Last process shot: I hand-dyed variegated linen thread to match the colors of the bind, which ends up being incredibly difficult to see on the finished bind, but was super fun while I was sewing!

Materials:

Body font: Kepler

Title font: Compaq 1982

Chapter number font: aliens & cows

Endpapers: recolored versions of the star chart used by Michael Collins during the Apollo 11 mission (archived at The Smithsonian)

Bookcloth: dyed using Dharma Trading Procion Fiber-Reactive Dyes

Title page and chapter headers: designed in Photoshop using the Ultimate Space brush pack by jeffrettalyn on DeviantArt

Metallic embroidery thread: Cosmo Nishikiito thread

I would dye for this embroidery thread. It is LIGHT YEARS better than the classic metallic embroidery thread from DMC: much easier to work with & much more sparkly. Literally so eye-catching; it truly doesn't translate to photos.

Paint for edges: Daniel Smith watercolor tubes in Iridescent Sunstone and Prussian Blue

Note: these are GORGEOUS watercolors. The color is so saturated and strong and beautiful BUT I don't think I'd recommend watercolors for edge painting. They went on very differently depending on the grit of the sandpaper I used for the edges + they sometimes bled into the pages + they had to be set with fixative, which then stuck the pages together.

[sofusgirlart]

Snakey man :>

Yup, I'm still on my hazbin fixation.

✨️Please reblog if you like my art, likes are lovely, but only reblogs gets art seen✨️

Small rant on art theft within fandoms under the cut.

Can I just say...

I see so much art theft in the Hazbin fandom (especially on tiktok) it's honestly kind of upsetting to me.

I see people posting absolutely gorgeous fanart, but when i go to see iff they have more, they just have tons of art in different styles, clearly not drawn by them, not credited to the original artist or "credited" as "im not the original artist" or "credit to artist"

And even when it is properly credited, its often done without asking permission and/or withour tagging. Like, at least tag if the OP is on the same platform you're reposting to so people can find them easily.

And for the love of god, if you're gonna repost, at the very least ask permission from the artist. I know this has always happened, but it's been an honestly shocking amount in this fandom compared to others ive been in. I have not had my work stolen personally, but people, come on! Basic decency here, ask permission and give credit! Some people even deliberately crop out signatures and watermarks.

I even saw someone reposting a compilation of stolen art, none of it tagged, and "hoping it would get to people's fyp". People spend hours making fanart, often for free, and sharing it because they truly enjoy it and want to share that with others, only for someone else to steal it, get the credit, and not even direct any of that traffic back to the artist.

please, please, check what you are supporting before leaving comments praising the art and begging for more. please seek out the original artists.

Also, if you can't figure out who the original artist is, don't repost it. it's not that hard.

Sorry for the rant, but it's been bugging me for a while.

✈️ Give a shout out to a fan artist / fic writer / etc. in the fandom that you appreciate!

Oh there’s so many great creators in this fandom! Unfortunately, I don’t really read ieytd fanfic unless it’s a short one shot because I don’t want to risk plagiarizing any plot points or characterizations from others and I feel like anytime spent reading would be better spent writing but here’s a few artists in the fandom that stick out to me and who’s work I adore every time I see it

@intergalacticsodatab aka CosmicSnakes on ao3! They were the first person ever to make fanart for one of my fics. I remember freaking out during my lunch break at Regal that they had made art inspired by my writing. They designed the masks in Just as Good in Red based off of the in-story description.

@agent-calivide Not only was calivide right there with me posting the first fanfics on ao3 and they’ve so much art for my ieytd fics it’s insane! They’re also an amazing writer! She’s so talented and all of their works are gorgeous!!! She was also the first friend I’ve made in the fandom ☺️

@agent-fee-nits Moki has made the coolest comic versions of Safe and Sound from ieytd 2. I absolutely love their art style and was honored when they drew Agent Phoenix wearing the outfit from the movie premiere in one of my fics

@ladydanger420 Chell writes fantastic nsfw short fics and one shots in their series spycraft and subterfuge. She’s also an wonderful artist who drew fanart of the premiere outfit with their Phoenix, Rosie

@bluefoxproductions Blue fox is one of the og creators for ieytd and one of the first people I saw that let me know that the ieytd was out they and was on tumblr it was just very very tiny. They also have a super cute Phoenix design!!!

[pennys-fic-reviews]

For today's fic, we have an absolutely amazing one called Meet Again by @northpen.

I got introduced to this one by some gorgeous fanart by @teircetea. (Reblogged after this post on my blog). They're a wonderful artist and the way they use colours is the Thing that made me want to read this fic. If someone with such fabulous art read and loved this fic, then it must be a good fic.

And it was MORE than good by a long shot. It was so fun to meet all the new versions and learn about them. The world building in this was so good. It tackled mental health so well. I loved the characters and how they interacted and how they viewed the world.

(more under the cut)

I think the one thing that stuck with me was Nya's struggle with chronic pain. It made me have to put down my phone and breathe a few times. I had to take breaks and dry the tears from my eyes.

Personally, I have my own chronic pain struggles and permanent nerve and bone damage in my right ankle. And seeing Nya struggle to do the things she loves, to be scared to do the things she loves, because of her knee injury hit me. I understood. I know what it's like to be frustrated because you can barely walk. I know what it's like to feel incapable because of your pain. This fic had one of the most impactful depictions of chronic pain I've seen in a long time. Amazing job.

ANYWAYS BLAH BLAH BLAH who cares about the feely emotional stuff. What really matters is Kai's whole character. Oh my god I literally can't even get over how much growth he went through. Getting to see his character start off as a rebellious teenager who matures into a father figure and emotionally mature adult who cares about people was so cool. It happened gradually and didn't feel forced. He felt like a real human being.

Amazing job to the author for writing the characters so well. I absolutely fell in love with every single one of them.

The storytelling in this was so good. The villains felt more natural than even some of the canon villains. The plot made sense but the plot twists were still shocking. It wasn't predictable, but it also wasn't bizarre. It was a perfect balance.

Anyways. Overall. This fic was absolutely heartbreaking but also so funny and humorous. It has an angst sandwich with angst sprinkled in, but most of the filling is fluff and humor. It was an amazing and natural piece of writing on life and death and how to cope with all of it. It appreciates grief and understands it comes in all shapes and forms and knows it's unavoidable, but it accepts it and shows you that you can ease your grief with a lot of healing. It was beautiful. Had many moments that made me pause and giggle and kick my feet or cry or laugh or stare in shock or reminisce or just feel and focus on the writing.

Beautiful fic, would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for a fantastic longfic with many different feels and a connection to the characters. Don't let the lack of tagging scare you lol 😂

Amazing fic, 10/10, thank you for birthing it into the world, author.

[littleststarfighter]

Hi! I'm pretty new to using Tumblr for anything other than favoriting fanart haha, so I apologize if this is not the right place for this. I just wanted to tell you that your art is AMAZING--like, seriously SO gorgeous. I came across it through the Kylux fandom, and although there are tons of very talented artists out there, I would be lying if I didn't say you were my favorite. Every time I see a link to one of your pieces in a fic, I know I'm going to love it. I'm a fan of more realistic styles of art (just my personal preference), and yours is not only so detailed and beautifully colored, but it always captures the emotions of the characters so well--their body language, their expressions, their affection.

I've been trying to get better at actually telling authors/artists when I love their work instead of just hitting the like/kudos button, so I apologize that this is like a year overdue from when I first came across your stuff, but better late than never, I supposed haha. I could go on, but suffice it to say that you are SO talented and I am truly grateful for all the obvious effort you put into the pieces you've done. They are absolutely appreciated :).

Hello ♥ Oh please don't apologise. It’s perfectly the right place for it, and it’s getting messages like yours that makes an artist's day. Well it certainly made mine. I could send you so many hugs right now but I don't want to smother 💕🤗 I’m chuffed to bits that you like my kylux work. I shared the ship with so many talented people who kept me drawing everyday. I miss the fandom and the people in it, but well, I never say goodbye to any fandom and may visit it anytime. I miss drawing the Lads. And I’m very happy you like my more realistic work. I’ve had so much hate in the past over it that anyone who likes my style really just brings out the joy in me. I love drawing people and capturing how they look. Even if it's hard and even if sometimes I don't quite get it right. I just love trying to capture what makes them, them! in my eyes.

Again no apologies and many thanks and hugs ♥

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

Art styles that rely heavily on linework, or a solid ink kinda style, are SUPER cool. My usual style is 'glob of colors exploded haphazardly onto the canvas' so anything involving a lot of tiny detail ESPECIALLY with the lines makes me go heart eyes. I also really enjoy cartoony, exaggerated styles. I love love love super stylized facial expressions, they're SO fun.

Some examples of artists/artwork I really like and am inspired from:

Niccillustrates has a beautiful style that features solid, largely unshaded colors and gorgeous linework/inking, which is most obvious in their Undertale fan art. Seems like they've taken down a lot of their older stuff which is a shame, this piece is one of my absolute all time favorite inspirations of mine. The little lines in everything, especially the flowers...AGH!!! Here's a more recent work! The contrast is gorgeous and I adore the shapes in this so much.

Retroautomaton's art has this overall pleasantness and smoothness to it that makes me feel like I'm drinking a milkshake, but like in visual form. Here's a few pieces I especially like. The fluidity and sense of movement in the lines/figures along with the bright, poppy colors is just!!! so lovely!!!!

ArtsyDudeJude's pieces are so EXPRESSIVE!!! The way he really pushes facial expressions in particular is super inspiring - all his original character design stuff in general is tbh. I look at linework like his and go. man I couldn't do that but it looks SO GOOD. Here's some of my favorites!

Last one I swear but I wanna mention my pal Dana, RedEyesRetroDragon on here! The way she stylizes characters is SO fun and dynamic I love it a lot. I don't know barely a thing about ygo BUT I care these guys bc of Dana's art. PLUS her inking!!!! Holy woah! LOOK AT THIS PIECE!!! AND THIS ONE!!

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

Hmm this is hard! Usually when I get reception on my art it's really kind and lovely and when I don't, I generally chalk it up to people just not being online/not seeing it at that time so I don't worry too much about it.

I suppose...since I draw a lot of fanart, it's easier for my original stuff to sort of slip by the wayside. So I'll use this one as an opportunity to gush a bit about this piece I did a little while ago!

People have left some really kind and sweet comments on it so I can't say it's underrated but it is my favorite original piece I've ever done. I felt clever about the caption because you can see it a few different ways - maybe 'taking form' refers to the canvas, reaching out and taking over the person. Or maybe the person is reaching IN, merging with the painting. Maybe the painting isn't taking form as in stealing, but taking form as in manifesting itself a human body. The possibilities are endless! Also I like the silly goofy expression here <3

OH AND WHILE I'M HERE. This piece is also not underrated but this was pretty cool too.

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

SO MANY!!!!! But the first one that comes to mind is photography! Photography is so cool and fascinating and while I don't think I could ever get /super/ into it, I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for the craft! A good photograph is SOOO satisfying to look at, like it's literally the art of composition and lighting!! How cool is that??

ALSO music!!! Gah I want to make my own music so badly!!! But there's SO MANY building blocks I'm finding it kind of difficult to learn. That said I have such an appreciation for people who make songs and sounds and things!! OH AND SOUND EFFECTS. EDITING. THAT'S AN ART TOO AND I LOVE IT.

Production work in general!!! To me it's art and it's beautiful and I want to be a part of it. If I could have any job in the world no questions asked, I would want to work in stage lighting. Concerts, theatre, idc, that kinda work is right up my alley. There's just something I adore about like, all the little details that go into making a production work that most people don't think about or notice because it's designed not to be noticed, but people still worked on it!!! People still put their time and effort and craftsmanship into it! <3 <3 <3

this is about to turn into a whole essay about all the different art mediums i love efjkdshajhg Sorry this is so long but i really can gush for hours about this stuff. Thank you so SO much for sending these!!!

[piosplayhouse]

Unfortunately I'm not super into cosplay in general just because I don't like attracting attention HAHA but if I was I would absolutely cosplay Ning Yingying bc I think I could pull it off so well

30. Who's personality do you think more closely represents yours in the SVSSS universe?

deep sigh

Part one of “Prinxiety AUs based on games by Greg Lobanov because all of his games are incredible.”

Wandersong is such a special game to me. The story is so moving, and the characters are all so fun! Would 100% recommend! If anyone wants to know more about this game, I’d be happy to share! Like I said, this game means a lot to me, and it would mean the world if I could inspire someone else to pick it up.

I know that the Bard isn’t a perfect fit for Roman, being a pacifist who prefers to avoid fighting at all costs. In all honesty, I can see Audrey being a much better fit for him. But Miriam was literally SCREAMING Virgil, both personality wise and aesthetically, and I thought the idea of a little charismatic Bard, someone who moves people with their songs and wants to be a hero, was also a good fit for our favorite Creative Side.

(And I wanted it to be Prinxiety so badly so shhhhhh)

I had the incredible honor of collaborating with @wistful-wish in this year’s @sandersidesbigbang ! You know I can’t resist a good Prinxiety fic. And set in a fantasy AU with half the cast as fae? Virgil as an all-powerful fae prince? Roman as the himbo human prince that Virgil can’t help but fall for? The choice literally made itself for me lol

Go check out Tessa’s fic! She worked SO hard on it and it’s AMAZING!!! Also, go check out the incredible art @briandthemoon did for the fic! It was so cool working alongside such a talented artist, and their art for the fic is absolutely gorgeous!

100 Kisses

Ao3

A/N: My first fic for this fandom! Of course it had to be Prinxiety because the brainrot is real lol

HUGE thanks to @lovelivingmydreams for reading over it for me! Romance is really hard for me to write (despite how much I love it), so her help was very much appreciated! Thank you so much!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Words: 3023

Rating: T

Genre: Tooth-Rotting Fluff

Pairings: Roman/Virgil (Prinxiety)

Warnings/Triggers: Lots of kissing. I mean, LOTS of kissing. Otherwise, nothing I can think of. This is just pure fluff ^.^

Summary: Roman makes a silly request, not expecting Virgil to agree. Virgil surprises him.

It’s a quiet day in the Mindscape. For once, Thomas is right on schedule, much to Logan’s delight, and he has no appointments to attend or projects to complete for a while. As such, the Sides were all in agreement that Thomas deserves a day or two to himself filled with junk food and mindless television.

Roman usually despises silence. His flavor of creativity is loud, all bright colors and toe-tapping lyrics intended to capture an audience’s attention. He is most confident with a song on his lips, lyrics weaving around him like silk ribbons. He feels strongest with a sword in his hands and a dragon’s roar thrumming in his eardrums, his own battle cry rising to meet it. He is bold with his movements, headstrong in his opinions, and passionate in his actions. He is Prince Roman, brash and striking and loud. And he loves being loud.

But sometimes, he can appreciate the beauty in silence. He can recall an early morning when he had woken up before anyone else, a curious occurrence for a prince who preferred to sleep in. The common room had been drenched in cool tones, the last dregs of night barely clinging on. He had been pouring himself a bowl of cereal, whistling to himself to fill the suffocating stillness, when a soft beam of gold had pierced the darkness like an arrow to a monster’s heart. The tune Roman had been whistling was suddenly caught in his throat as he beheld the most gorgeous sunrise he had ever seen. Suddenly, the silence had presence, as if it were lifting the sun into the sky. Roman couldn’t breathe for a few seconds, afraid that the sound of his breaths would tear into this gorgeous image and send the sun cascading back down to earth.

Hello I’d like to report an attempted murder? Yeah this dress tried to kill me. This DRESS, with its INTRICATE PATTERNS AND LAYERS, nearly KILLED ME.

(But damn if it isn’t a look.)

Despite the complexity of the outfit, I HAD to do @hyperfixated-homo ‘s DTIYS! It was just too good!

Congratulations again for 100 followers, Shadow! You absolutely deserve them and more!

My #1 post of 2022

Thinking about how in the new video Virgil explicitly said how he wasn’t “on Patton’s side” and how they simply were supporting the same thing.

Brb gonna cry now.

Halloween cc!Dream and c!Dream HC!

CC!Dream:

Would probably make a poll on twitter the day before the holiday, asking fans what to wear for Halloween

Options: vampire, werewolf, zombie and etc. Classic.

He'd be praying so werewolf one wouldn't win.

Werewolf shit would win much to his dismay, obviously, cuz fans would love to see some dogboy content . Especially George /j

Sapnap and George would definitely tease him for that

Poor guy would be so embarrassed to wear the costume, but with a bit of your encouragement, he'd finally do it

You'd be taking pictures of him in the costume, telling him to stop moving around so much, to prevent pictures from being blurry. Quality should be the top tier, after all

The next day, Instagram would be blessed with photos of him in the costume, with wolf tail and ears on. Clearly, he'd be wearing a mask on the photos, the one from Mr Beast's rewind

More pics on Twitter

The shit would be trending on Twitter

Artist would be speedrunning fanart and next thing you see, is the fanart of your boyfriend in the costume on your feed

Tiktok would go absolutely crazy since you guys got a surprise for the simps >:D

What I mean, is the short clip of him in his Halloween outfit that Twitter chose for him, a collar around his neck, tied to a leash, you holding the lead of the leash in your hands, tugging on it once so he'd lean closer to the camera (your idea to spice things up for fans, which he found absolutely absurd and denied to do it, but with you showing him your best puppy dog eyes, he complied). But only your hands were displayed, so fans wouldn't know who you are (Dream didn't want to reveal you to his fans, worried about the toxic stans and the hate you'd be getting)

Simps go brr

Ahem, you two would snicker to yourself, sitting on the couch with Patches napping between you two, after leaving simps to die with all the content you two gave them. DSMP members and Dream's close friends were also in that list

You two would jokingly go trick or treating to Sapnap, who'd tug on Dream's leash, teasing back

Embarrassed Dream, embarrassed Dream, embarrassed Dream-

You'd die laughing, along with Sapnap, after seeing his expression

That evening would be chaotic as hell, but it would be one of the best Halloweens for three of you

C!Dream (post Disc saga arc, early SMP and brief Prison arc)

To get him to dress up for Halloween would be hella difficult

He'd make YOU dress up for him *cough* maid costume *cough*

MF would be so smug about it, showing you off to his friends

But would wear the costume after you did, for things to be fair

You'd pick his costume, probably demon one

What I mean is: little orange devil tail and matching horns, black mask with evil looking smiley on it, matching black hoodie and pants, and new, black boots. You two had to run around two days to find the proper material for making horns and a tail for his costume

He'd love the outfit honestly, impressed by your imagination

But clearly, he'd love yours more. So, on the night of the Halloween, he'd host a late night party, everyone would be welcomed to join

Everyone would join, all dressed up in eye catching outfits

He and you would sit next to the bonfire, enjoying your time together, watching others have fun

His gloved hand would be holding yours, stroking the skin with his thumb, with him constantly telling you how gorgeous you looked, assisted with a small kiss on your cheek

Then, you'd hear the boom of fireworks

Ah, good old times. Such a shame he can't turn back time and return back to you

There he sat now, all alone on Halloween night, locked in his cell of the prison of his own creation

He missed your warmth, your affection, your embrace, your kisses, sweet words of love and support

He spent nights dreaming of you, days thinking about you, reminiscing the old memories that he held so close to his heart

He knew, there was no way back now. There was no way to return back you, to change it all.

So, all he could do on that night, was to let himself be engulfed in happy memories of you, wishing to be held by you at least one more time on that night of Halloween

I saw your post about ppl losing their shiz about Kaeya fanart being “whitewashed” when it’s literally darker than he is in canon. I agree btw I love like basically all Kaeya art out there I love one eyepatch man.

anyhoo, I have a story. I once saw a tiktok about a kaeya art. it was specifically labeled “IN PROGRESS” or whatever so you knew the artist wasn’t done. it was a gorgeous piece of art btw. So far, the only thing that had been colored was his hair and some of his clothes.

pretty much everyone in the comments started harrasing her about how he was whitewashed and the artist had to be a white supremacist and i think someone said “see I knew everyone who played genshin was racist just delete the game at this point.”

i was just like 😳 wow jeez it’s literally IN PROGRESS the artist legit said so.

the artist eventually posted the final version (after having to delete the first video and deal with several threats) it did turn out beautiful, but on the comments there and on every post of theirs after people are lurkign in the comments bad-mouthing them.

as much as I definitely am for characters not being whitewashed (especially Kaeya bc I love him your honor) I think some people take it way too far when the person they’re yelling at literally just wanted to get people excited about their WIP.

hi! sorry im so late this issue became quite sensitive lol i had to work up the courage to come back to it. it's gonna be a bit long, but i really need to say all this

if there's one thing i noticed about the genshin community on tiktok and twitter, it's that there is a whole, whole lot of social justice warriors and overall it's extremely toxic. it's something that surprised me because the people i interact with on tumblr are all super sweet and not one bit toxic so? idk, tumblr is just a different breed i guess

your story is extremely saddening. everytime there's a kaeya fanart, people forget about the color theory and the artists' style and claim it's whitewashed and i genuinely don't understand why. if someone could explain it to me, am i missing something? im not an artist so perhaps im mistaken, idk, but i've never seen a fanart where kaeya was whitewashed.

the thing that pisses me off the most is that most of the time it's white ppl calling something whitewashed. i'm not saying you shouldn't call out racism if you see it just bc you're white, just that these people aren't even right - and often you see poc coming into the debate and explaining it's not whitewashed/saying it doesn't bother them. moreover, i've literally seen fanart of beidou as a black girl, which isn't representation in my opinion - beidou is already a poc, and asian people need at least as much representation as black people, so it's plain racism. same thing with kaeya, i've seen edits of him with stereotypical african features, and it's really sad that no one is calling this out but yelling about whitewashing as soon as he isn't the exact same color as the official arts. hell, someone even said "so what if it's darker? it's still whitewashing" and i??? am flabbergasted. whitewashing is absolutely disgusting, but ppl keep misunderstanding what it means and just using it to gratuitously harass artists.

now, don't get me wrong. i believe that you can draw whatever you want. but the thing is - if you get mad when someone draws kaeya white (if they really do, i mean), you can't just applaud someone else's that draws another character black. racism goes both ways, and it's bordering on fetishism. i, as a poc (mixed-race, caucasian + african), am extremely uncomfortable everytime i see this double-standard.

but anyway, the fact remains that sjw have plagued the genshin fandom. and it's not just about kaeya's skin color (we don't even know if he's really a poc - we know he's tan according to paimon, and i believe she called him "exotic"? so idk) but also about the ships. everytime i see a shippy tiktok, there's plenty of ppl out here saying it's wrong, claiming their own ship is the most canon. if i'm not mistaken, kaeluc is the one that gets the most hate, and i genuinely, once again, don't understand why.

i talked about them before and explained how it's not incest bc they really aren't brothers, but i swear every now and then i see people throwing death threats and slurs anytime someone hints at them. idk if you are familiar with the eng va's fandom, but sometimes they play among us together, aether's va does some livestreams where he invites different voice actors. but diluc's va is never there, and i was wondering why - recently i learned that it's because he retweet a fanart of kaeya and diluc fighting alongside each other (not even a shippy fanart, apparently) and people harassed him and excluded him from the fandom. and now the same thing is happening to griffin burns, childe's va, bc he retweeted (or liked, idk) a fanart of lumine and childe fighting or something and people called it pedophilia bc lumine would be a minor. i'm not even gonna dive into this bc the travelers are canonically like 30 times childe's age, but what i mean is - people are so full of hate and i can't fathom living like this?

the point is, i totally respect anyone who doesn't ship something i ship. i myself don't like certain ships - like zhongli/xiao, jean/diluc - but im not gonna harass ppl who do just because i can? that's messed up, i just don't get it. i wish the fandom wasn't that bad bc i really enjoy this game

anyway, im really disappointed but still grateful, bc my followers & people i've interacted with here have been nothing but sweet and respectful. i hope none of y'all come across the toxic side of the genshin fandom. stay safe y'all!

i know that everyone tends to go on and on about how awful of a place the internet is and how it was a massive mistake (for Plenty good reason may i add) but amidst all the horrible, harmful, terrifying things that come with access to social media and the online world, here's an appreciation post for the things i like about the internet, and the good parts about it.

i love that we have access to all the music in the world and i love making playlists to categorize all my favorite songs and artists into a cute organized little library, i love that on this website i can curate my own little space for all my niche interests that i've grabbed and clung onto tightly over the years, i love that i get unlimited access to all this amazing, beautiful fanmade content for those interests i like - gorgeous fanart, impressive animations, fully original written songs - all these elements that really bring that form of media to life and give it the passion and love it deserves. i love that, although sometimes it can go way too far, someone can send a nice heartfelt, really important message to their favorite artist, actor, just someone they really look up to and is a huge inspiration for them, directly letting them know how much their work has impacted their lives and touched their hearts, and that creator can easily see it and feel that love - just from something as simple as a post. i love that i can join a random game of strangers from across the world online if i'm bored, and though we'll never speak to each other again, we can all enjoy each other's existences for just that one single moment. i love that i can easily learn so much information about different parts of the world, different cultures, people, concepts, ideas, etc. just from watching youtube videos made by people with way too much time on their hands.

i love that i've met real people, who have made wonderful memories with me, and have become such huge, staple parts of my life that i will never forget, even though my only memories with them have been through sitting in front of a screen.

none of that would ever be possible without the internet. none of that would be possible without these clunky and weird electronics we carry around with us all the time. and yeah, the internet's massive, and it's terrifying, but at the end of the day, it's really a place for us all to go to when we want a break from our relentless lives, and i think everyone would feel absolutely lost without it.

i genuinely sometimes wonder; what shape the world would be in if the internet never happened, or if it never reached the state that it's in today? would things have been way worse, because there would be so many things we just never found out about? so many people we never met? how different would our lives be?

how to draw manual wheelchairs (a psa for artists)

as a Certified Disabled Person, i LOVE seeing fanart of canonically disabled characters using manual chairs, but 9 times out of 10, they’re shown using clunky, ugly hospital chairs.  my problem w these fanarts isn’t the general inaccuracy of and anatomical problems with a full time wheelchair user using a hospital chair.  it’s that they’re just. plain. ugly.  a good manual wheelchair, on the other hand, is so sleek and gorgeous that you’d turn your head to watch her roll down the street.  so allow me to walk you through the differences in appearance between a cheap hospital chair & a lovely, luscious custom chair:

(small disclaimer: i know not everyone can afford a custom chair & many disabled people use hospital chairs bc it’s the best they can do & that’s totally fine!!!!  this post was specifically inspired by art of iida tensei who 1. is a full time chair user.  2. has a spinal cord injury.  and 3. is rich as hell.  if your character fits all 3 of those criteria, it’s just highly unlikely they’d use a hospital chair.  but every disabled person is different, so absolutely no hate to hospital chair users!!!!  okay moving on)

the hospital chair

- massive front casters (those little wheels in front)  negative 100 points to zippiness.  we want our chair to have the breathtaking agility of a gazelle on the savannah.  this ain’t it.

- what is up w that extremely high backrest?????  how is a person supposed to propel themselves w their movement restricted by that utter BEHEMOTH of a backrest.  that’s a repetitive strain injury just WAITING to happen.  negative 400 points to functionality

- the angle of the footrest is all wrong & they’re massive and extremely clunky.  negative 200 points to sex appeal

- center of gravity on the back wheels is all wrong.  it would be exhausting & extremely inefficient to self propel w wheels positioned like this.  these wheels would make daily use so problematic that twitter stans would cancel them.  negative 250 points to speed.

- THE. FUCKING. ARMRESTS.  this is my biggest pet peeve.  THE FUCK ARE THOSE ARMRESTS DOING THERE????????  do we all see how much harder it would be to self propel w armrests that are like one step away from a barbed wire fence in terms of limiting your movement????? negative 2 billion points in every single category.

verdict: the vibes? rancid.  the ergonomic design? nonexistent.  the chance of injuring yourself if you self propelled in this all day every day?  guaranteed.  unless you have an exceedingly good reason, PLEASE stop drawing your full time chair users in this non-functional mess.

the custom chair

hell YEAH this is what i’m talking about!!!!!!!!!  this is a chair i’d walk up to in a bar & offer to buy a drink!!!!!!

- front casters?  tiny!!!!  this baby is gonna turn on a dime.  plus 200 points to zig zag capabilities.

- not only is the backrest low, it’s ALSO ergonomically designed to support constant use!!!!!  we stan a good backrest.  plus 300 points to comfort.

- foot rest is positioned much better & is also small & not completely fugly.  you truly LOVE to see it.  also the frame is a really pretty green!!!!!  plus 150 points to functionality and plus 100 points to style

- wheels positioned by an angelic choir.  a push is gonna go a much longer way on these wheels.  plus 350 points to zoominess

- THERE ARENT ANY ARMRESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  total freedom of movement.  you wanna dance?? you wanna race?? you wanna pop a wheelie??  you can do all of that AND MORE without any fucking armrests.  plus nine billion points overall.

the verdict?  this would be on the cover of people magazine’s “sexiest wheelchairs alive” issue.  she’s sleek, she’s graceful, she is actually useable on a daily basis without utterly destroying your back and shoulders.  why would anyone draw a clunky hospital chair when they could instead capture the stunning form of this beauty???

in conclusion, pls draw your full time chair using characters in a custom chair bc they’re really pretty & i like looking at them.  this is clearly about me specifically & not at all about raising broader awareness around wheelchair use.  i just wanna look at more cute chairs & i frankly think i deserve that.  thank you for your time.
