#Ziku's insane rambles

[iamespecter]

I just remembered that I'm no longer keeping it a secret that the Patriarch is Abel in my Harlequin AU which means I can actually draw my own version of Abel in canon TADC

Anyways he's a carnival barker in my own interpretation, and is in charge of the carnival on the circus grounds

I'm kinda surprised no one's had the idea to make Able a Carnival barker to parallel Caine; who's a Circus ringmaster-

Painting is so hard sometimes man it's an unpredictable beast (yes I'm learning an old painting technique shush)

Anyways doodled a few silly things yesterday while I was out picking up my grandma from the airport (the really small doodles of Caine and Pomni are from my little brother)

Gotta have a Glamrock Chica there for good luck bless her

I think this is a sad reality of just how much the mindset of productivity our generation and the ones before us were raised in was so incredibly toxic, but we didn't have much of a clue. We're never allowed to have fun or play video games because it's seen as "unproductive" and won't bring food to the table, you gotta have a "professional" job if you want to make it in life.

Obviously times have changed now, but it's still a little disheartening to see that the only reason why video games are widely accepted nowadays is because we can now EARN from playing them via youtube and thanks to the let's player's help. Obviously, more power to the people who can monetize their hobbies, I'm also one of those people-

But the point I'm trying to put out here is the fact that we're all so wired to think that everything we do MUST be completely productive and earns money, that simple things such as eating while lounging back and watching TV, taking a nap or even playing video games as a past time is considered "being lazy" and it feels like we have to constantly watch our backs and do these things in secret like it's some kind of forbidden ritual, away from judging eyes.

None of us know how to relax, and if someone does, they're shamed for it. Put up as an example of "don't be like this person". I honestly hope one day, the world learns to move away from this toxic mindset.

Sorry for the yapping just felt the need to put my two cents out there

is anyone else constantly afraid they’ll be “caught” doing stuff they’re obviously allowed or even supposed to do

Hey y'all, I'd just like to genuinely thank you all for the supportive messages and the donations. Really, I cannot think of words that would justify how grateful I feel for everyone's help. We're still on the waiting list for the police to investigate the break in, opting to check if there were any CCTVs nearby in order to check the criminals fleeing the scene of the crime.

Other than that, I'm doing much better mentally than yesterday, so I can most definitely write the 2000 followers special again.

I also wanna say how awesome and amazing this community is. I've never been a part of a fandom that pushes my creativity to it's highest, while being supportive and not being at each other's throats because being in the FNAF fandom does things to you. I was pretty popular on the fnaf twitter scene, but it was SO TAXING AND DRAINING that I don't consider it worth going back to.

This is genuinely THE BEST community I've ever had the honors to be a part of (Shipwrecked 64 came very close), and I'm very honored to be at the spot that I am at right now, as creator of the Harlequin AU.

Thank you for supporting me, in my best and worst times. Thank you for being interested in the story I want to tell, and even asking about the world of it as well as it's cast. Thank you for always taking the time to reblog and comment in my works, because I love reading everyone's special inputs.

A very, very special thank yous to all my friends who inspire me to become a better writer and artist, to @thescarletnargacuga who is technically the co-writer for this AU at this point lmfao, to @nobody-nexus for being an amazing and loving partner <3, and to @sm-babie for getting me into showtime, which is the major reason this AU and it's story even exists.

And I know I don't always get to see it because of my incredibly short attention span (and tumblr's weird notification system), but I also would like to thank the other artists who've made fanarts, fanfics or OCs for this AU. There's A LOT of them, that it overwhelms my brain and I'm just- wow. I'm just really taken aback at how much people like this small, incredibly canon-divergent AU. My brain is getting FRIED at all this in the best way possible but woo I need a bit of a breather haha-

I hope I can continue to provide quality Harlequin (and showtime) content, and I hope to keep this train rolling. Keep being awesome, and keep being creative, everyone! The regularly scheduled content will be back rolling on track very soon. :')

DAY 5 - CARNIVAL by @sm-baby

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 6

I HAVE (almost) PERFECTED IT NOW YIPPIEEEEEEEE!!!! AND WITH ONE MINUTE TO SPARE

it only took like, 3 days for me to be able to get used to the speed of the 1-hour challenge lmao, though I doubt that I'm going to be able to keep this consistent, since various AU Pomnis = various designs = varying difficulty in terms of drawing them all in just the span of only an hour

dear lord, may the next prompts be kind to me-

[iamespecter]

I fucking loved the Alice in Wonderland 2010 movie and I keep being reminded by it whenever I see @endomentendo's wonderland AU, so I redrew one of my favorite scenes from that movie with their Mad Chatter and Cheshire Jax. lol

Anyways endo, if you wanna see this scene fully done, just tell me haha

[iamespecter]

She's TRYING TO ESCAPE CONTAINMENT!!!!! WE HAVE A CONTAINMENT BREACH

[iamespecter]

Here are all the Pomnis for POMNITOBER from day 10 to 1 btw, all with no bgs

I love how I'm known as "the Harlequin AU creator" like yeah, that's my official title now

Like hi yes I'm the dumbass who took one good look at these two and thought "you know what would be awesome. if they were robots in an 1800's sci-fantasy world and were super hot spouse material"
