#Why is TC so hard to draw?????

hi! Thank you for making your guide, it’s been so helpful as a new skin artist. I’m still confused about how to make good festival submissions (?) I thought my submission for Rockbreaker’s Ceremony fit all the conditions you talked about but no one seemed interested in my skin. Do you have any advice on how newer artists can make a good entry?

I'm happy the guide's helped! It is less of a checklist and more on how I personally approach the contest. There are a lot of things I don’t think I described well technique-wise, so I’ve considered making step-by-step tutorials to approach each contest that would better encapsulate the win conditions I described. But for now, here’s one way you can approach a contest, particularly if you’re a new artist.

1. Pick Your Breed (and Battles)

Breed variety, as I stated in the guide, is the Number One reason I win any contest. This is where I think I should’ve gone more into why I favored the Ridgeback F base - it’s important to pick a canvas that will not impede your ability to create and more importantly, a canvas that makes you comfortable as an artist. Ridgeback F has a big wingspace that serves as a good canvas and the anatomy is easy (for me) to design on, which is why this is the canvas I default to.

Here are some of the best “starter” canvases for new artists, in my personal opinion:

Wildclaw M and F: these bases, particularly the F pose, don’t get many submissions (look at their submission rate in the Gala!) They have a standard dino anatomy that’s easy to understand and work around.

Fae M: Fae rarely get entries. The big wingspace is a great canvas, and more importantly, the M Fae canvas is pretty small compared to the others, so it’s less daunting. The shrimp posture can be a bit hard to grasp, but you can honestly just do a wingcent.

Coatl M and F: Coatl is a great base for new artists if shadows and lines are disrupting your creative process, because they don’t have as much of those. (You can also turn shadows/lines off while you’re drawing. I usually have shadows off and lineart at 30% opacity. Just remember to turn them back on when you submit!)

2. Theme Your Skin: Canonical Elements

August goes into this better in his guide, but you generally want to stick closer to canon. Think of skin contests like an art contest for a fandom. If you were submitting to, say, a Percy Jackson art contest, you’ll probably draw inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology, not Aztec or Chinese mythology. Flight Rising is the same. So, here are canonical places you can draw inspiration from:

Past festival familiars and apparel

Existing vistas, scenes, and World Map locations

Artistic interpretations of the canonical lore

If you do want to go outside of canon, my suggestion is to pick a neutral element. This means something that doesn’t have any religious/otherwise connotations, and is still related to the flight. I.e.: icy mountains for the ice flight, different types of minerals for the earth flight, different types of plants for nature. You are making an official item for the site, so work with that in mind.

3. Skin Composition: Balance

Composition is how the elements in an art piece work together. I struggle a lot with it, so I am not the best person to speak on this. What I’ve found that works for me is focusing the canvas on one big thing and putting small elements around it. That big item is usually wings, which is a great neutral component that can take on attributes of different elements. If you look at my skins, they usually follow the equation of skin = 1 big element (wings, bones, crystals) + 2 small elements (gradients, sparkles, butterflies, leaves, flowers).

[RBC 2023 = bones + crystals + rocks] [TC 2022 = wings + gradient + wispy shadow things]

4. Skin Execution: Actually Drawing the Thing

The best part of festival contests is the skill bar is quite low. I am going to contradict myself slightly by saying you do need a basic understanding of how to draw, but aside from that, contests are forgiving if you aren’t an experienced artist. I had six months of experience when I won my first contest and more recently, I was drawing with zero wrist mobility. These are some of my recent skins that were created when I could not render the way I usually do or use line weight.

[TCC 2023 & ROR 2023] 

In comparison, here are skins when I could render and line weight.

[WS 2023 & GG 2023]

Importantly, all of these skins won. So that’s why, from my perspective, whether you’re an experienced artist or not, whether you know how to render or not, is not the point.

I don’t want to imply that you don’t need any skill to win a contest… it is a contest, after all. I think what I’m trying to say is: to make the best entry you can, you need to know the skills that complement YOUR art style. It isn’t necessarily the skill difference between artists that determines who wins, it’s how you use the skills you have to bring out the most in your piece. 

There is no one way to making good art. And the hardest obstacle as a new artist is finding out what enhances your art style. You may not even have an art style yet, and that’s okay. That’s why it’s vital you continue exploring - which contests are great for.

Again, everything in this post is only what I have personally observed. This approach will not work for everyone, since everyone’s creative process is going to be different. But I hope this is a good bare-bones, structured, guide as to what I personally focus on – and I hope that it’s good for reference, even if the specific steps aren’t helpful for you ^^

[tizz-does-art]

hello, it is i, the ever tumultuous tizz- here once again to drop a Mew related art. but this time, its not 'Two or TC related- oh no, in fact, it's for one @phlurrii ! i've fallen hard for the ancient tale of Meau, their tragic goingson with child and grandchild alike, and- of course- their mysterious platonic glitch husband, Missingno.

with his arc coming up fast, I am spurred to draw a fanart! but uhhh-- it kinda went... a liiiiittle overboard? so- please be aware: }}} Flashing lights/images warning below! {{{

yever just draw a really cool standalone image, just to cover it up with every distortion effect? that's me, mayor of clowntown. for the sake of your eyes and my (in)sanity, here's the static image~

aaaand a couple of solo Noes, cuz why not? he neat

[killerfrostisme]

That last line in TEG absolutely KILLED me. So I decided to write a series of Locklyle one-shots, to heal my poor broken unsatisfied heart.This one takes place somewhere between TCS and TEG. Enjoy!:) I posted this on Fanfiction.net as well, so you can check it out. It's called Moments in Time and by username is MissPotts01.

Lucy Carlyle was having a really hard time not falling in love with Anthony Lockwood.

It wasn't his good looks that did her in, (though they certainly were an added bonus). She pretended not to notice her heart do backflips everytime a lock of his dark hair would fall into his eyes, or the way he'd flash his special smile at her, successfully making her forget all logic. Or the way he threw back his head and laughed at something George said/did, making her wish she could bottle the sound and listen to it whenever she wanted.

It wasn't even because of the suave, confident disposition that was his leadership. Or the quiet, calm way he inspired his team's confidence and gave them the strength to believe in themselves. Or the way he'd congratulate everyone individually on a job well done after a case was closed. His charm, his witty remarks, his charismatic smile were all trademarks of just him being Lockwood and were all enough on their own to give her butterflies.

But they weren't the reason why she was having a hard time preventing him from living rent-free in her head.

No. That was because of a very simple reason:-

Lockwood saw her as a person first and an agent second.

Ever since she was a little girl, her abilities as an agent had always been given top priority. Especially by her family. According to her mother, Lucy's primary existence revolved around solving the best cases, bringing in lots of money and generally being the best agent there ever was.

Even at the cost of her own safety.

It's not that she had ever resented her Talent, (she wouldn't know who she was without it) but sometimes she really wished her mother would try to have a conversation with Lucy Carlyle her daughter, rather than Lucy Carlyle, the agent. Her sisters weren't so bad, but there was such a wide chasm between her and them, that it seemed impossible and completely useless to try and cross it. Packing her bags and coming to London, had probably been the best decision she'd ever made. Here, she found a family.

And Lockwood.

She scowled. It was eleven thirty in the morning, (early by her standards) and she just couldn't get him out of her head. For crying out loud, the day had only just begun!

"Something wrong, Luce?" asked Lockwood, peering over the top of his newspaper. They were sitting at the breakfast table, rested from a night's sleep after a particularly gruelling case. George, was scribbling something in his research notes, and inhaling one jelly doughnut after the other, Holly was looking at him with mild disdain, as she daintily sipped her cup of tea.

And Lockwood?

Ah, Lockwood. Well, he was looking right at her.

"Luce?" He asked, his eyes probing, "Are you okay?"

Belatedly, Lucy realized Lockwood had asked her a question. Flushing bright red, she gulped down her scalding hot tea.

"Just fine." she said, sneaking a glance at Holly and George, to see if they were paying attention to the conversation. (They weren't. Holly was delicately broaching the topic of civilized eating with George, who was clearly not listening to a word she was saying.)

Lockwood raised his eyebrows. "Is that why you're scowling at your breakfast?"

She flushed a deep, beet root red. Ah. So he had caught that.

"Oh, just thinking about things." she said flippantly. Getting out of here would probably be a good idea. She could never think logically when Lockwood was shooting her one of his 'searching' looks.

She grabbed her plate and cup, rinsed them in the sink and all but dashed out of the kitchen, all while feeling the intensity of Lockwood's gaze on her.

The warm afternoon sunshine was making her sleepy. She was sitting out in the garden, drawing soft, languid strokes across her sketchbook. First came the strong, defined jawline, the angular cheekbones, the megawatt smile, tousled hair, there was no mistake:- she was drawing Lockwood.

"Is that supposed to be me?" asked a voice behind her.

She jumped a foot in the air, and whirled around. Lockwood was standing there, no tie, shirt sleeves rolled up, looking more relaxed than she'd ever seen him.

"Yes," she said, suddenly remembering that he'd asked her a question.

"It's really good." He smiled at her, soft, slow and hesitant, the one he reserved just for her. "You're really good, Luce."

She flushed as red as a tomato at his praise. (Was she doomed to forever resembling a tomato when he was around?)

"If it's okay with you," (he rubbed the back of his neck) "I would-" (now he was messing with his hair) "-really love to see more of your sketches."

Oh.

It's not that she didn't want to show him. She did! He was the first person she would have shown all her work to if...he weren't the centre of nearly every artwork she'd done.

She opened her mouth, prepared to decline and make up some excuse which he'd never believe, when suddenly-

"Yes."

Had she actually said that? No, she hadn't. The wind was messing with her hearing.

Except, there was no wind.

Which meant...she'd just agreed to letting Lockwood see her sketches.

Lockwood on the other hand, seemed unaware of the inner turmoil in Lucy's head, because he was already stretching out a long quick fingered hand for her sketchbook-

-and wordlessly, Lucy seemed to be handing it to him.

She watched him flip through the pages, and felt something akin to a very strong and intense feeling blooming in her chest. What that feeling was she had no idea. Well, she had some idea but she was trying not to think about that. All she knew was she felt extreme happiness when he was around, felt joy when he noticed little things about her and felt pleasantly surprised when he wanted to know more about her, the person rather than her agent persona. She felt special when he chose to confide in her, and while their experience on The Other Side had severely scarred them, she wouldn't change a thing about it. It had forged an irrefutable bond between them which she'd rather kiss a Raw-bones than break.

Love.

The unfamiliarity of the word struck her as odd, since the person who it was associated with felt like home.

She was incomparably, irrevevocably, completely and utterly in love with him.

The realization wasn't as jarring as she thought it would be. Instead, it brought with it a sense of peace, a sense of belonging and a feeling of familiarity.

Like coming home after a long day of work. She felt at ease, as if everything was just right.

As she looked at him, still thumbing through the pages of her sketchbook, she was still having a hard time not falling in love with him. But she found she didn't care. She was tired of ignoring her feelings and keeping them locked up in a box. She knew he felt something towards her, and was going to wait however long it took, to make him realize that she was going nowhere.

She looked at him and smiled:- I am going to allow myself to fall head over heels in love with Anthony Lockwood.

modern au fem!hanwenzhou

okay so like, pretty much all my art is someone else's fault. i stand by this. this is the fault of @antique-forvalaka (henceforth siv). blame or thank her. she just showed up unprovoked and was like, "fem!wkx has a flat ass and fem!zzs is big tiddy tomboy," and i was like, "umm???" what was i meant to do? NOT draw them? it's a modern au because i don't fuck with drawing hanfu.

most of these were drawn when i was too sick to write and lemme tell you i 100% underestimated the effect of a cough on drawing art. the lineart on wkx's piece took me so fucking long. i even had to go back in and redo bits of it. that's why some of it looks wonky but shhhh don't look.

assorted headcanons beneath the cut:

fem!zzs

this was the first one i started drawing, and then i nearly gave up because zzh's face is the fucking worst to draw. like, i even tried tracing a still and it still didn't look like him. okay, thots:

f!zzs has long hair that she takes relatively good care of but she pretty much always just ties up and ignores

she keeps it long because she sometimes does infiltration missions and it's helpful to appear super feminine

she knows how to be pretty and well presented but she literally never gives a shit

left alone she will happily sit in a sports bra and panties and eat ramen

oh yeah when she's lying low after leaving tc she disguises herself as a male vagabond. @luckydragon10 is very attached to f!zzs's fake stubble.

the hoodie look is an adaptation of my favourite zzs look from woh which is the meili look. look i am a simple woman, put the characters in a veiled hat and my brain just goes hrrrrnnnnng.

fem!wkx

oh hello other actor in this drama who is incredibly fucking hard to draw. luckily i had already drawn modern wkx before so i was a bit more used to his face. okay, some more thots:

the first one i drew was the big profile which is labelled in the csp file as tiddies out wkx

in my head f!wkx has a flat ass and flat chest bc siv said so, but she wishes she were curvy like wkx

she's very much styled after a femme fatale, emphasis on the fatal

she's pretty much always immaculately turned out, perfect make-up, perfect clothes, all very expensive

i had to draw her in stockings and garter belt. i just had to. also that lace texture killed me and took me like half of wanda//vision (which i was watching in the background) to get right

part of the reason i even did modern au was because i wanted to draw wkx with a sniper rifle

on that note the sniper rifle is traced from a photo bc i am lazy and at that point was very ill

"oh? so you have chosen death~♡" -- that's her vibe

fave wkx is angery wkx up in the top right corner. i drew her last.

one big regret that i didn't draw her splattered in blood and smirking like lelouch from code geass. i just think that would be neat.

fem!hy

thank u han ying for having a face that i can draw. thank u actor for having distinguishable features for my face blind self. thank u. thots:

this was the last set of these that i drew and i had to think long and hard about what to do for her. i knew i wanted her to be shorter than zzs but curvier than wkx but that was literally it

originally when i started drawing f!hy i gave her short curly hair, like close to a pixie cut, but i couldn't make it look right, so i went back to siv and extracted her suggestion of a side cut or undercut

in my head, hy and zzs run two-man missions all the time, with zzs as front woman and hy as tactical support/getaway driver

siv said to me that she sees wkx playing dress-up with hy bc hy is more receptive to it than zzs and i was like oh yes so that's why there's a little classy hy over on the right

also the more i drew f!hy with her little undercut and sweats i realised she looked like a fuckboi and i was here for it

special shout out to my favourite tac gear item: the throat mic. they're just so sexy. don't come at me.

shout out to fancy dress ass-kicking hy. the backstory here is that wkx put her in a pretty dress for a nice evening out only for it to devolve into a battlefield so hy takes off her heels and just starts blasting.

oh yeah special shout out here bc my brain was just like "play with the colours" so i did and now there is no consistent colouring for this set.

anyway i love hy's little button nose. so cute. love drawing it.

ok i'm done.

standard disclaimers for my art: all of it was drawn in clip studio paint (my beloved). i use pose references using the built-in 3D models and assorted poses i've downloaded from the store. faces are drawn using stills from the show i've founded on google images. when i draw fashion there's a high change it's from runway collections, in this case hy's dress is from the paolo sebastian moonlight serenade collection, specifically this one. and the fancy han ying look is adapted from ashi studio fall/winter 2017, specifically this look.

I’ve been trying to play trauma centre like a big girl who has basic motor skills. Things started off ominously with my getting a C rank in the tutorial, and every operation since then…. until Mario came swinging through the door and handed my ass to me with his multiple haemorrhages. I worked out that if I just sedated and cut the damn things first they’d stop swelling and wouldn’t explode, but my god it’s still not enough, and THE HECK YOU MEAN I MISSED CONNECTING THEM!? I DRAGGED IT WITH MY STYLUS JUST LIKE YOU SAID?! WHY IS IT JUST ME AND ANGIE IN HERE? WHY DON’T I HAVE A TEAM? I’M A C RANK DOCTOR EVEN WITH THIS HEALING TOUCH! SAVE ME GREG! NONE OF THESE PENTAGRAMS I’M DRAWING LOOK LIKE STARS! THERE’S BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!!

Anyway, as the expert in these games, is the Wii version easier and does it follow the same storyline? Having not even seen the disease that’s the whole plot of the game, I feel like I might be insurmountably bad at this and should try an easier version…

oh, so you're--and i mean this in the friendliest, mist kindly way possible--doing badly? just like me, friend, welcome to the gang! this game will kick your ASS, guaranteed lmao. and yeah, this is nothing, wait until you get to the fantasy bioterrorism, that shit gets MEAN (i cannot wait for you to meet my number one enemy, the shitty triangles....oh, those triangles...).

but jokes aside, YAY I LOVE TC, i hope you have a great time. it really is a challenging game (truth be told, i've never properly beaten utk1, the end is sooo fucking hard), don't be discouraged by it! (and i'd say if you have the possibility to cheat, do so if you need it. who cares lmao.). i loveeee the characters, say hi to derek and angie for me!

hmm, you're playing utk1 on the ds, i take it, then? the wii version, utk second opinion, is kinda the same story, except...not lmao. it does follow the same story but adds new characters that appear in a later game, so it's a fun different experience. never played that one on the wii, but i did play a bit of trauma team and i find the gameplay a lotttt harder on the wii lmao.

[digo3d]

Here's another ask: 1 thing you like + 1 thing you dislike about each TC movie

Almost guaranteed these are gunna end up being more than one thing because I don't know how to shut up but let's see

Beverly Hills Cats:

I like that it's silly and also because it gives Brain more of a spotlight, also it confirmed a few of my lesser headcanons (Spook can play the drums and Brain likes rats) also The Rap for their costumes (specifically Spook's and Brain's they slay) also Spook's voice is very gruff in BHC and so now I have a REAL reason to make his voice a little gravelly/give him a little growl when he talks whenever I read a dialogue from him other than just because I want to

However the PACING OH MY GOD THE PACING 😭 some of the movie just drags and the dialogue feels clunky sometimes, also the visuals look dirty if that makes sense? Everything's a strange color y'know? Also The Rap because it's so poorly composed and it makes me die a little. Also Amy Vandergelt fuck Amy Vandergelt all my homies hate Amy Vandergelt. Also Dibble didn't really feel like Dibble y'know like he was oddly mean and (extra) dense like 😭

Top Cat: The Movie:

I am inherently biased because this is a movie from my childhood I was FUCKING OBSESSED with it and would watch it every day once I got home from school in 4th grade and I still remember a dream I had about it years ago and I'm pretty sure I put Spook into a story I had to write for class 😭 it's how I got into Top Cat in the first place so I hold The Movie very near and dear to my heart anyways I really love that it legitimately feels like Anima Estudios put a lot of love into it and like they made a genuine effort to make it feel like OG even if they fell short. Also THE ARTSTYLE I WOULD FUCKING KILL TO GET A REBOOT IN THE STYLE OF THE MOVIE ARARAR GEOMETRIC ARTSTYLES EATS A BRICK anyways also Trixie, they could never make me hate you Trixie (I need to draw her more) also the robots are funny as fuck for no reason

While I still think people greatly exaggerated how bad the movie was, I can kinda understand where they're coming from because the plot holes are ABYSMAL OMG 💀 also fucking Rob Schneider is Strickland in the British dub which is immediately awful, also not as awful but Dibble doesn't feel nearly as like strict or intimidating as he did before and I think that's mostly because of the voice they gave him, it's very squeaky. Also I feel like Strickland could work as a good antagonist but I feel like they leaned into the 'oh I'm so handsome I'm the prettiest in the world' thing too hard and it just made him feel really annoying and not like an actual threat at all, also naturally the flanderization of Brain (Anima Estudios must've had beef with him or something cos they did him even more dirty in Begins)

Top Cat Begins:

To be completely Frank, to be completely David even, there's really not that much I like about Begins other than Hellcat Spook (naturally). I mean I like Furletta Duchat because she's purdy and Dib's grandmother (Grambo) because she's fucking insane. Chooch's little waddle of a walk. OH I actually REALLY like Mr. Big as a villain. He's an actual threat to T.C. and the gang and his design, voice, and behavior is actually intimidating and probably the best crafted out of any of the new characters in Begins (also his model isn't fugly like most of the rest of them). If a new movie or series ever gets made I hope he makes a return even just as like a minor villain. Also Diedrich Bader voices Bad Dog and that's an inside joke between me and my sister lmao (also I do really like Bad Dog he's an excellent goon)

First things first for things I don't like about Begins, THE MODELS. WHY ARE THEY SO UGLY. WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS. I mean like they could be worse BUT THEY COULD CERTAINLY BE BETTER 😭 I mean I do appreciate them for giving us canon eye colors for the fellas but good fucking lord

Help him 😭

Tbh I'm trying to think of who the worst offender is and tbh it's almost all of them but I will say that Benny and Spook look the best, Fancy isn't ugly but he doesn't really look like Fancy, (same with Dibble) and ig T.C. isn't bad but he's not good. Brain and Chooch though what did they do to my lads. Chooch has gingivitis and lacks fangs (actually all of them lack fangs except for T.C. and Benny which I think is especially offensive) and Brain's model is built in such a way where any mouth movement he makes looks FUCKED UP. Also his eyes are really small and so are his ears and his proportions are generally fucked.

Fun fact I found some like beta promo art for Begins a while ago and Fancy's model is completely different and dare I say he looks better than his official model

Anyways models aside I think this is kind of a dogshit origin story for the gang. Making T.C. and Benny meet Fancy, Chooch, and Brain all at the same time only to not see them for the next 45 minutes was real fuckin lame-o and lazy and they also retconned that whole thing where T.C. and Benny were in Boy Scouts together which I really didn't appreciate. Also could've stood to have moar Spook in the movie instead of him being a deus ex machina and having LESS THAN TEN MINUTES OF SCREENTIME, like shit dawg. Also I always thought it was lame that he was just the pizza guy and not ACTUALLY involved with Mr. Big y'know? Also he's got a bit of a plot hole where he's like 'why should I stick my neck out for you' and then legit like 2 minutes later he's like 'i've been following you around so we can join forces' like ok bro if that was the case you would've just pulled them up and not've done that whole thing where you made it seem like you would've left them there but alright dawg. In my opinion I would've had it where Mr. Big sends out Spook to find them and follow them around after they lose their tracks of them and then when they escape Spook's grasp THEN Mr. Big fucks up Eleanore. Anyways what else. Uhh. Oh I can't tell if they just forgot what Dibble acted like or they tried making him younger in Begins but like. That's not Dibble. Who is that. Also again, Brain flanderization to the extreme and some mischaracterization of Fancy. Anyways I think that's it actually

This turned into a full rant I'm sorry 😭 but yeah I think a remake/revamp of Begins is in order because it's so bad and then BHC isn't bad, just mid at times, and then I've always found The Movie to be charmingly bad despite it's plot holes

[nightly-ruse]

Sorry I don’t like Brambleflower as a fix for canon Bramble. I just can’t separate the canon Bramble from any fanon bettered version for him. I get why he’s even named flower as a nod to his mother instead of father but it just does not suit him at all for me.

(Pretty long idc read if you want just know this is a Bramble hate post and I mean every word in here.)

To me honestly while I hate this character with a burning passion his character and what he does expands every cat around him a lot.

What he does to Squirrelflight is sickening but it builds her story, shows clear abuse from a husband and powerful figure which can then be twisted into her realizing this and overcoming him. She finally breaks after being screamed at by her own daughter about Bramblestar’s abuse and forces him to step down. She makes him retire, clawing him down ever life he has till he’s nothing but a old fool. Before taking leadership for herself and truly bringing Thunderclan into a golden age.

His children. The three love him, he’s their dad they look up to him a lot so much so they don’t see the little things he does to their mom. Until the secrets revealed. Hollyleaf feels shame crawling under her pelt every time she tries to meet his eyes until at last she tells him the truth. He goes cold and draws back. Blaming Squirrelflight first as always and the two concoction a plan to reveal it at the gathering to show everyone what liars Leafpool and Squilf are. When it is revealed Bramble strips Squirrel of her deputyship, breaks off their partnership, and denounces their children as ever his. He never treats any of three as his own family again even being quite horrible to them.

Now his Children by blood are different. He knows they are his he can see it clearly but he can’t love them. They don’t feel like his and they never will. While he nitpicks every thing that Squirrelflight does around them he barley even visits them. He pushes his son into the healer role because he doesn’t think he’s strong enough. And while he loves his daughter for being a natural talent he pushes her hard to be even better. Eventually cracking into the whole family split to side with their mother and begging her to end her partnership with Bramble. Even if he’s their dad he’s never felt like one truly certainly not like how she’s always been their mom.

And honestly it’s not just his family who are effected. He makes rash spiteful decisions fully fueled by emotions all the time as well as leaving so much onto his deputy. He’s a horrible leader, a horrible father, a horrible mate, and a selfish cat by heart. He likes to control others even if he doesn’t know it. He’s possessive and can’t let anyone leave him, refusing to let Squilf out of his claws, grabbing onto any trace of family he believes he has in Hawkfrost’s case even refusing to listen to anyone when they are clearly right.

This is far too long and I also have a splitting headache so take that into mind as I cut myself off here even though I have so many more thoughts I’d like to say. This isn’t a hate to the whole concept of ‘Brambleflower’ it’s just how I see it and his character. In my best case scenario to me, Squilf drags him down out of power and out of TC with the help of her real support system, he’s gone and while he does realize his mistakes he also pities himself for them. He’s never truly good and never can be, good Bramble died in that fire as a apprentice and what’s left is a charred toxic husk that’s there to blister anyone who tries to stand too close, or those he refuses to let go.

TC!dad!JK

due to your various pregnancies, the king’s expert team of physicians developed a method where it was easier to determine whether you were pregnant or not through drawing blood. from using certain chemicals and herbs, the physicians FINALLY managed to get an accurate depiction on your pregnancies through bloodwork and now that they’ve developed a tedious yet effective task to test those results, determining whether nami was truly pregnant or not came easy and quickly since the young lady was not pregnant.

“hmm hmm hmmm~” you hum to yourself while washing your long locks of hair that you’ve been dying to cut. you sink your body in the warm water of the large tub before thinking out loud about what you need to do today.

after you finish cleaning your body, you step out of the tub and reach for your towel but before it’s in your reach-

“YN YN YNNNN! Baby!!! Look I’ve got the results- well through this paper we will get to know if she’s indeed carrying my bloodline- NAMI OF COURSE!”

“jesus, jungkook!“ you shriek as you stand in all your naked glory and you don’t miss when jungkook sizes your physique from head to toe. your long hair only accentuates your features but before he can get too carried away, he rips open the envelope and reads the results; nami’s results.

“n-negative? she’s not pregnant?” you say as you reach for your robe and put it on before taking the paper and reading it for yourself:

name: CHOI NAMI

blood type: B

height: unknown

weight: unknown

pregnant: NEGATIVE

it is determined that CHOI NAMI is not carrying a child after tedious examination and multiple tests on her bloodwork.

“wow” you say as your eyes read over the information over and over. although you are a bit disappointed, you’re scared to pass the news to your son who was convinced that nami was pregnant with his child. you wonder if nami even knows if she’s pregnant or if she was convinced that she is pregnant.

“I KNEW HE SNUCK THAT GIRL IN!!“ you gasp when jungkook reveals to you that jinseoul brought nami in the palace, which is VERY dangerous.

“ae-cha knew about it. she had to have known. that’s why she didn’t tell us where he was. your kids are in SO much trouble. especially jinseoul” you say as you hand jungkook the papers before grabbing another towel to dry your wet hair with.

“i don’t know what we’re going to do with him but he isn’t allowed to meet, talk, or even see that girl anymore”

He knows that it’s not the time to be horny when you are fuming at your oldest children for causing so much trouble and yes, Jungkooks so angry too, but overall he’s relieved to be not becoming at grandpa at 42.

You look so hot with your eyebrows furrowed as you bite your lower lip, as you tighten your silk robe around your pretty waist, he’s busy gawking at you shamelessly while humming occasionally but when you say ‘your’ he’s offended.

“Hello? Our children yn- remember we created them TOGETHER.” He reminds you rolling his eyes, “and just to let you know we have the girl captured as she is in the dungeons right now..” he sighs, “ she was captured leaving the palace, and she’s been charged with forced intrusion.” He shrugs.

Whatever you want to do with her, he will leave that decision to you, “yn… of course he won’t see that girl again.. but we have to understand that he’s in love… maybe if he works hard enough to prove himself worthy… he can see her, but after I’m done with the background check on her.” Jungkook can’t believe that he’s actually defending his son like that but he is also a man that is deeply in love.

He knows what it’s like to be in love.

“maybe it’s puppy love and it’s going to go away because there is going to be a lot of girls that are going to come and go from his life… I’ve only had one girl on my mind you know that.” He winks.

And that is true because since he was 10 years old, he has been in love with you.

“Yn… come on get ready and let’s summon the children- only jinseoul and ae-cha.” it is never easy to be a father, and to have the courage to actually punish your children..

He remembers being punished for the smallest things, he remembers being beaten up, he remembers, sometimes even being starved when his mother was not aware of around. He remembers being forced to train until his legs gave out or his injuries bled through his clothes.

He never had a crown, prince Life style and he wants to give jinseoul exactly what he got to experience,…

He doesn’t want to become that kind of father to his children, but jinseoul needs to understand the difference between foe’s and Allies.

Maybe Nami is not good for him

What even convinced her that she was expecting? It’s still disappointed him to know, and that he actually has sexual relations with that young girl as soon as he turned 18… but he’s willing to let that go.

Even though it is a taboo to touch anyone, that’s not your wife or your concubine or consort… that is the least of his worries, however.

Jungkook watches you dress yourself up without the help of any court lady this time, you pick up a beautiful lilac dress, it is gorgeous you look gorgeous.

It accentuates your breasts, he is a pervert for noticing that, but you’re his beloved wife, and he is free to think about however, he wants to about you.

“Yeah baby there is your crown- yeah the purple stone one.” He picks it up before you can and he said sit on your wet hair after you’re done fixing it into a beautiful bun.

“ I have the most gorgeous wife ever..” he’s fawning over you right now, you blush a little at his fixated stare at your figure. “Sorry… let’s go together to the hall.” He is now holding his hand so you will hold it.

Time to break the news to jinseoul.

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

I'm very bad at identifying the themes of my stories before I finish them; I don't always consciously know how my unconscious process is structuring things until I've made them.

One thing I do know about Voice of Stanix (and other Primax 1020.27 Iota stories) is that it's about how oppression replicates itself, and that's why I am writing so much that is set on Sanctuary Station--Designs and Persuasions, and the side stories, are not just about Ravage and Soundwave and Jazz negotiating relationship boundaries, they're also about how Soundwave and Ravage and Howlback are working hard not to replicate systems they hated that don't work, and about how Marissa and TC are trying to keep Earth politics from getting out of hand, and about how Earth really doesn't have a choice about dealing with Cybertronians.

The Quintessons colonised Cybertron. The Resistance that drove them out was led by the people of Iacon and Greater Liaconia (Iacon is connected to Rodion and Rodion is connected to Polyhex).

Iaconian militarised theocracy speread throughout the rest of Cybertron via Primalist intellectual colonisation and the use of force, culminating in the oppression and degradation of other Cybertronian cultures--Uraya and Kaon being the last to fall, and never falling completely.

The Autobots wanted to preserve but reform the social structure, and the Decepticons wanted to destroy and replace it. Both of them became colonialist powers as a result of this. Autobot and Decepticon colonialism don't look the same, but neither one of them is good. The Decepticons wouldn't be on Earth if the Autobots hadn't come there.

And the Galactic Council is composed of many organic worlds that had to throw off Quintesson rule.

One of the things that's always stuck with me is that Functionism had to have originally come from the Quints, because the people whose altmodes are useful only to themselves (the beastformers) are at the lowest rung of the social ladder and the social ladder is organised not by how much use you can get out of your own body, but rather by how much use someone else can get out of your body when used as a tool. A car can drive on its own but what can a microscope do on its own? You are valued by how rare and useful a tool you are, and people who are mutable and capable in form, but not usable by others as tools, are considered the Useless Ones.

So Iacon threw out the Quints, but the Quints were still in their heads, only now they were all tools of Primus, not tools of the Quints.

The Autobots wanted to preserve and reform Iaconian culture; the Decepticons, people from Vos and Uraya and Kaon and other places that hated Iacon's yoke, wanted to destroy and replace it.

(I also have a lot of thoughts about how, after Megatron's abdication, Ravage and Soundwave are Beit Hillel and Tarn is Beit Shammai, but I don't have time to explain that today.)

I also have fun sometimes with settings. I had great fun having Ravage and Megatron part--no longer lovers, but still friends--not knowing if they'd ever see one another again--at the same time that Swerve and Misfire meet and are instantly romantically attracted--in a storm of purple petals released by flowering trees on that planet.

For some reason, I'm also really fond of people having conversation s in space, or on planets with unfriendly atmospheres. Soundwave and Buzzsaw trudging through the yellow snow of Io (sulfur, not piss), Charlie and Cosmos chatting outside at Utopia Planitia while Charlie draws something in the red sand and tries to figure out what it is, Miko and Rumble going on a date to the surface of the Station and Clobber coming up after them. And if I can't put people in space I put them on the observation decks a lot.

[shesinmy]

Mhm, I was wondering.. Can you write about the first time inumaki is in a sleepover with his s/o? I do feel like it would be chaotic lol! Thanks for your efforts <3 :) remember to tc of yourself 😚

THE FIRST OF MANY

Warning: suggestive

Considering his technique, Inumaki has a special ability to read you. He can see right trough you and you didn't have to tell him anything for him to understand that something was wrong. Since he also respects your time, he decided to let you come to him whenever you want to share what was going on. But that didn't mean he couldn't do anything. And therefore, he invited you to spend the night with him.

It would be your first time since you started dating. You had to admit to yourself, you were nervous. And so was he.

You ring his bell and you could listen to his running steps making you chuckle imagining the scene. He opens the door and goes straight for a kiss.

- Salmon.

With his fingers pointing to you and that mischievous smile, you know that he just complimented you. He grabs you by the hand and pulls you in, sitting you on the couch. At the center table, the snacks were already set and the Netflix only waiting for you to agree with his choices. Guess what? Horror movie.

- Why, Toge, why?

He shrugs with a blunt smile. With a big sight, you kiss his cheeks earning a painted pink on his face.

- Fine. BUT... with one condition.

- Tuna Mayo?

He returns the kiss satisfied with your flustered reaction.

- We have to cuddle the entire time.

He jumps to your side smiling wildly while he passes his arms over your shoulder bringing you closer to his chest.

- Salmon, salmon.

He kisses the top of you head and presses the play. What your poor thing don't know, is that Inumaki already watched the so called movie and he knows every single jump scare. The mf is prepared for everything. He scares you the whole time. So much so, that you jump even at random moments like the scene changes. Needless to say, that it brings many laughter from both of you.

The movie barely ends for you to be involved in a making out session. None of you can get enough of how good it is to feel your lips together and the heat that grows inside your bodies. But Inumaki is Inumaki. He pokes your cheeks signaling his need to go to the bathroom.

You roll to the side lazily letting him free from your grip.

Minutes passes and nothing from Inumaki. You wonder if he is okay but you don't have the intimacy enough, nor the courage, to knock on the door. Who knows? Maybe he had an emergency? The last thing you want is to let him uncomfortable on your first night together. So, you wait.

Inumaki, actually, was the one waiting for you to relax enough. When you do, he shakes the sofa and you get so scared that your butt goes straight on the floor with your legs flying on the air. The mf is laughing so hard that him too goes to the floor holding his stomach in pain. And you decide it's your turn to give it back.

You grab the mayo he added to spicy your food and throw it on his head. He gives you a shocked face while grabbing a full hand of some snack to counter attack. And.. the war begins. Food is flying everywhere. Sometimes, against each other. Other times, as an Olympics mouth target food. You end with both out of air not being able to make any more laughter because the pain in your bellies doesn't allow it anymore.

The rest of the night, comes with a very flustered shower cleaning each other smoothly and maliciously with a inevitable sex session for you to finally settle in bed. Holding each other with eyes closing slowly. Inumaki draws a little heart on your cheek and kiss your lips softly. You return the kiss and put his fangs away from his eyes.

- Love you too, Toge. Thank you, I really needed it.

I really can see that dating Toge would always be an adventure. For me he seems the kind of boyfriend that would also be your best friend. Hope you enjoy it :)

[mewtwoandme]

It happened to tc, it'll happen to you. You can not escape. It all starts with a drawing🤣

Thank goodness that in this au Mewtwo is infertile then, they can never exist! Mwahahah!

I really do mean all of this in a lighthearted way, I'm not actually against making them cannon, I could find a reason to make them cannon if I wanted to. The reason why I wont is because there are only a certain number of characters I can handle drawing at a time, especially if people send asks regarding specific characters, multiple characters are a lot to focus on. I currently have 7 plus Blu, which will make 8 and I already I have a hard time fitting everyone in when I draw comics. Sometimes people ask "Well were was this character when this was happening?" or "What is this character doing while this is going on?" because I can't always draw everyone. So I try to keep a limit on how many characters I add. Blu will be the last one I'll add for a long while.

[lucy-and-co]

So I just checked out your blog and that story about the bear killing demon in the woods with the girl and the St. Bernard had me dying of laughter (Also shipping those actual ships so cute)

[sullina]

I do not know why I made this… I just felt the urge to draw a pouty demon boy who played too rough

YESSS, I love it!!

It was shortly after the TC moved into Liones Castle. Meliodas and the TC were getting along well. So well, that they decided to play a little game that was, and still is, popular among demons, especially the younger ones. The rules are simple: bat a ball around, and try to hit the others, every demon for themselves, no teams.

Of course, since young demons were always full of energy, said ball had to be tough since it was hit pretty hard.

The TC, Mel, Baltra and Eli all pitched in where possible to make a ball durable enough for the elite of the demon clan to play. Once that was done, they were all excited to play.

How it ended though, was with all of them carrying brutal looking injuries that had Elizabeths heart skip a few beats. None of them were seriously injured, but they all required bedrest, most of all Meliodas. Derieri had managed to get a few consecutive hits on the ball, and since Meliodas was the strongest of them all, didn't hold back. Meliodas underestimated the strength of it, and got buried into the solid rock of the ground.

Eli healed the TC enough so they could drag themselves back to the castle, while she carried Mel. She healed Mels worst injuries, but refused to let him walk.

Back at the castle, the commandments willingly got to resting, but Meliodas insisted that he was "fine" and "I don't need any rest, it doesn't even hurt!" and "I still need to... to...", he was scrambling for something to say to get out of bed, "do some shopping!" But Elizabeth didn't waver one bit. "If you need it today, I'm sure we can find a maid or a guard or someone to get it for you", she told him as he pushed him back onto the bed. She had just finished disinfecting and wrapping his wounds, so bedrest was vital at this point.

Meliodas sighed and laid back. Elizabeth knew him too well, and any excuse he could come up with, she would counter. "...fine, I'll stay...", he grumbled. "But I'm not gonna like it."

Elizabeth brushed the hair out of his face and kissed him on the forehead. "I know you won't, but don't worry. It'll only be for a few days, a week at most."

"A WEEK??" Meliodas shouted in shock. "Ellie!" He pleaded.

"The more you rest, the less you'll have to spend here." She ruffled his hair and got up. "I need to check on the others for a bit, but I'll be back soon, okay?"

"...okay", Meliodas told her and watched her leave. Not five seconds later, he sat up and pouted. "Stay in bed for a whole week??" He complained to no one. He already felt an itch in his muscles to move again, and swished his tail back and forth in response. "That's gonna be impossible!" He shouted and fell back against the pillows. His eyes fell on the windows in the room. They were looking very attractive to climb out of right now.

[butterflyinthewell]

Raditz headcanons!

(Warning: some nsfw text ahead! Scroll to the second picture to avoid it.)

The funny stuff:

Raditz fucks. He calls himself a slut because he fucks often and he’s good at it.

He is happy to suck dick, eat pussy and eat ass for money. He’s not picky as long as the presented part is clean.

He’s proudly bisexual.

His dick is huge. Monstrous.

He loves to land on a planet he’s going to decimate and shmooze, go to bars, get drunk, say he’ll let them live if the sex is good, fuck whoever offers and kill everyone there anyway.

He rawed Zarbon’s brains out because Zarbon said he doubted Saiyajins could fuck. Zarbon still refuses to admit it’s the best dick he ever got in his life. All Raditz has to do is grab at his own crotch around Zarbon and that pretty jerk gets all flustered.

Raditz loves to be naked. He’s immodest and an exhibitionist, so he only wears clothes because he gets tired of people yelling at him to put some on.

He’s that guy who will eat the most disgusting food item or food mixture you put in front of him just to gross out everyone watching. Ice cream with toothpaste? Pop tarts with ketchup on them? Something alive and wiggly? Sure, he’ll eat it without flinching and watch you squirm.

He’s an expert troll. No, he’s a god-tier troll.

Once, he pranked the Ginyu Force by making Guldo stink. Guldo has no sense of smell, so Raditz smeared rotten meat all over the inside of his armor once while the little guy was in the showers. It took a week to figure the stink out, but nobody knew Raditz did it.

He can do a pretty good impression of Zarbon’s voice, so he once got a bunch of troops outside of Freeza’s room under “orders from Zarbon”. He got caught for that one and got his ass beat, but he’ll say it was worth it.

He draws things on the back of Nappa’s bald head while Nappa is asleep. Usually faces, but once or twice it was a dick or butt crack.

Once, he sent a dick pic to Freeza’s scouter during a debriefing and made the little bastard choke on his wine.

Another time, he got a dick pic onto the debriefing display and it ruined the whole meeting because everybody started yelling at each other. Raditz sat back and watched the chaos unfold with a shit-eating grin on his face. Yep, he showed the entire Freeza Force a picture of his enormous fully erect dick and he’d do it again.

And another time, he played the audio of Zarbon moaning and gasping all over Freeza’s ship, and Zarbon couldn’t do anything about it because it would mean confessing to letting Raditz fuck his brains out. Zarbon likes to project this image that he’s chaste and above such base desires, so being reminded of the time he had with Raditz embarrasses him so so sooooo much.

He jacked off into Freeza’s wine once. Freeza took a drink, spat it out and killed the guy who brought the wine. Nappa and Vegeta were in on this one, so the three of them snickered about it for months.

He taught Vegeta how to kiss by making out with him. It sorta broke his heart a little when Vegeta later said he wasn’t interested in him that way, cuz he had a bit of a crush on the Saiyajin prince.

Raditz might act cold and uncaring, but he has a big soft spot for kids. He wants to settle down and have some of his own someday. Unfortunately, life under Freeza doesn’t give him that opportunity. Plus, he’s a little afraid to for the genetic reasons about to be mentioned below.

The serious stuff:

Raditz’s biggest struggle is his epilepsy.

He was born with a rare gene mutation called a Naeb deletion (or Naeb syndrome) that kills most Saiyajin babies before their second birthday. (It’s pronounced “naw-EEB”.)

There are four Naeb genes in the average Saiyajin, or seizure suppressor genes. All four have to be present or a Saiyajin comes out with Naeb syndrome. Raditz is missing two of these genes.

Some Saiyajins carry an extra (fifth) Naeb gene-- a mutation-- that causes these deletions in children. If only one parent has that gene, the chances of a kid with Naeb syndrome are fifty-fifty. If both parents have the mutation, all their kids come out with it and it's usually fatal. Bardock had an extra Naeb gene, but Gine didn't. That's why Raditz has seizures and Goku doesn’t.

Every Saiyajin with Naeb syndrome is missing their last set of molars, has two extra ribs, has denser than average bones and extremely long hair. Their brain development is also faster than average, which can mean it grows faster than the skull around it. Sometimes the skull doesn’t grow fast enough to keep up with the brain, so the brain is crushed.

Structurally, Raditz’s brain has all the parts it’s supposed to, but they’re in slightly different places. He has less cerebrospinal fluid than average, his corpus callosum looks like a ring from the side and his lateral ventricles are smaller because his brain had to fold in on itself more to fit inside his skull. There’s a spot in his parietal lobe that’s pressed right up against the inside of his skull, and his meninges and a few millimeters of cerebrospinal fluid are the only thing that stops his brain from lacerating itself. That spot is always spiking with abnormal electrical activity. It’s like a match striking over and over. His brain doesn’t like being so squished in his skull, so sometimes it misfires when that “match” strikes and you get a flame, which is a seizure.

Raditz has a few different seizure types depending on which parts of his brain react to the constant “striking” activity and some of his seizures have a few triggers.

Doctors call Raditz’s epilepsy “mild”, but Raditz disagrees and considers it severe because he’s the one affected by it and not them.

He’s tried many different medications and none work. Surgery isn’t an option because Saiyajins don’t tolerate brain surgery very well and the chances of developing new seizure sources outweigh the benefits.

His scouter records and logs his seizures. He gets the time of the seizure, the length of the seizure and a video of the environment he was in. (If something flashes, the flashing is removed.)

Flashing lights can trigger seizures. His scouter has special polarized glass that counter flashes whenever someone’s ki flashes, so he just sees a solid color in that eye. Blocking one eye helps prevent the electrical excitation in his brain that turns into seizures. This doesn’t work if he’s exposed to flashing lights for longer than sixty seconds though. This is meant to give him time to turn away or cover his other eye.

He can’t go anywhere with strobes because of his seizures. Bars are okay since most don’t have strobes, but nightclubs are inaccessible.

Focal aware seizures are his most common seizure type, and he can have hundreds of these a day. They’re twenty seconds long. You can’t tell he’s having one unless you know what to look for, which is a faint quiver in his eyelids when he blinks. Sometimes he closes his eyes until the worst part of it is over.

It’s hard for him to describe how these seizures feel. They start as a little tingling at the tip of his thumb that spreads to his wrist. It’s a very annoying sensation. Then he gets sudden vertigo like someone yanks the ground sideways. During that vertigo he perceives everything as being way too close and too real. He gets a strong sense of doom. That’s the worst part. Then it’s over. The tingling stops, his senses return to normal and his heart rate slows.

He learned to compensate for the vertigo, so he can still fly and fight while having a focal aware seizure and nobody would know the difference.

Atonic seizures aren’t his most devastating seizures, but they’re the only seizure that embarrasses him to have in public. His muscles suddenly lose tone and he blacks out for a split second. If he’s walking or standing, he falls headfirst to the ground. If he’s sitting, he slumps. If he’s flying, he loses altitude for a second or two.

His atonic seizures happen when he doesn’t get enough sleep. They tend to come in clusters of two or three in a row. They can mess with his memory, causing him to lose a few minutes or be confused about where he is. If he’s in the middle of a conversation, he might forget what was being talked about, but reminding him gets him back on track.

Tonic clonic seizures are Raditz’s most devastating seizures. These are the big bad seizures that can be triggered by flashing lights. He can have them spontaneously, too, and averages about one or two a week.

Spontaneous ones start with his usual tingly focal aware seizures. He knows it’s going to generalize if the tingle continues up his arm instead of fading away. The second the tingle reaches his neck, he goes. His eyes roll back, he gets stiff, he shakes and he’s down for awhile.

Induced seizures give him no warning other than a sudden, extremely intense pain in the back of his skull. Induced seizures are worse than spontaneous ones because they’re more violent and last longer.

Some of his other weird TC triggers are going into or coming down from an oozaru transformation, getting dehydrated, not eating enough, being awakened out of delta wave sleep and stimulants like caffeine.

Regardless of how a TC started, he loses several hours of memory and doesn’t get it all back. His worst seizure wiped out a month of his life and he never regained those memories.

If he just ate, he will puke as he enters the tonic phase of the seizure. This is a huge choking hazard for him. He doesn’t care if he pees or poops himself during a seizure, but vomiting is really bad. If he just ate a huge meal and feels a TC coming, he’ll stick his finger down his throat and get the puking done before the seizure hits.

He almost always wets or soils himself during the clonic phase unless he just went to the bathroom before he had it.

If he powers up as a TC starts, his power rises uncontrollably until the tonic phase progresses into the clonic phase, then he releases massive ki waves that destroy everything around him. He hits power levels he can’t reach while conscious and in control of his ki, but this is dangerous because he could power up until he explodes and there’s no way to stop it.

His instinct when he realizes a seizure is generalizing is to either finish a fight quickly or power down and go hide to have the seizure because he knows he’s vulnerable during and after.

The worst seizure of his life was caused by Captain Ginyu. He goaded Raditz into attacking without his scouter and flickered a ki ball right in his face. Raditz went down. The Ginyu Force kicked him around while he was on the ground seizing. Nappa lured them into a fight to stop the unfair beating and Vegeta dragged Raditz away to finish the seizure. It was awful because Raditz threw up and soiled himself and the Ginyu Force made sure he got covered in all of it.

Raditz doesn’t remember this and neither Vegeta nor Nappa told him what really happened.

Post-ictal Raditz will remove anything on his body that feels bad, so he often ends up naked. He won’t recognize friend or foe and isn’t going to react kindly to being crowded.

If he’s alone, he’s likely to sit staring at the ceiling or sky until he collapses into sleep.

His scouter shows him a picture of his attack ball if he’s on a mission and that’s enough incentive for him to go find it even while too confused to tell someone his own name.

After his post-seizure sleep, he wakes up kinda giddy and hyperactive as his unsettled brain chemistry tries to restore balance. He will be sore as hell, too, usually that’s how he knows he had a seizure.

Nappa and Vegeta have seen so many seizures. They take bets on whether Raditz will pee, poop or do both. Then they’ll flip him on his side and wait it out. Barring emergency retreats, they don’t let him leave an area until he can identify a scouter by name.

Yep, seizures messed up some of his slutty sexual escapades. Usually by killing whoever he was trying to fuck since the violent convulsions hurt other people and his immediate environment more than they hurt him.

And finally…

The loss of planet Vegeta isn’t something Raditz likes to talk about. He was on a scouter to scouter call with someone there when it happened and all he heard was a bunch of screaming. He still can’t handle listening to recorded audio of screaming people because it reminds him of hearing his planet die.

[amateurcomics]

Your comics are fun and are very recognizable. You lay a bit hard into the Mew flower causing MewTwo pregnancy as a story element. I can see that you put a lot of effort into making the comics. You've made many interesting MewTwo OC'S but not enough opportunities to flesh each of them out as characters.

You don't have very dynamic poses but that comes with the art style.

You clearly like to make the comics and I absolutely encourage you to continue making the comics.

I am taking all this feedback on board and I thank you for being so honest with me. I have gone a bit overboard with the explaining so you don't have to read it all if you don't want to.

Yeah, I do notice myself how much I lean into having at least one baby in the comics, there are reasons (...ok one reason, I like babies so it carries on here) and I'm trying to veer away from that in fact Thing's main comic won't have a baby in it.

I see what you mean by not fleshing the characters out, that comes from the fact that in my head I know them really well but putting it down on paper it's a bit harder. The View it Differently series I actually wrote in book form a while back so hopefully those characters are fleshed out more. But I will work on it and try to better for Past and Future and for Thing's comic.

Ah yes, poses. Now in truth I have only been doing drawing for about four years, I started before covid. I started drawing comics maybe two years ago maybe less. One of the reasons I haven't been able to draw poses like TC does is because I don't know how to draw certain parts of the body, like the hands and feet, (at least not by myself) hence why my characters don't have feet shown much and Mewtwo doesn't have proper hands.

I will work on all of these points as best I can, thank you for the feedback :)
