Gene the morning after I peg him and leave him writhing and moaning like a girl

All joking aside, look at my little pookie bear in his little ducky jammies!

Y'know when I was a kid, I used to be scared of Gene. But now that I've grown up and gotten to know this man a little more. . .He really is just one goofy motherfucker. God I love him.

🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL🚨

THE SOULMATES WERE CANON THE SOULMATES WERE CANON

I AM GOING THROUGH MANY THINGS RN AS YOU PROBABLY ARE TOO

but also

[castorfell]

Imma be real I genuinely hope that the question as to whether Poppy and Viva have a biological mother or not never gets answered or even hinted at. I think it's cool how a majority of the Trolls characters don't have complete, nuclear families! It makes the whole family message stronger :D

Not just one little German boy…Not even two…But THREE little German boys????

been busy and side tracked with school and work stress and so uuuuuh have a formal/informal introduction to some ocs that I've posted a few things with and other i havent, same story, drawn impulsively after drawing a small pilot comic for one of my classes.

Mini lore dump/general details below the cut if you're interested.

These OCs are part of a different story than the character sheets I created and posted before, who have more or less realtively stayed the same since they were created. Might go a lil insane and create chatater sheets for them, I love to make them to be honest.

Me and @belovedknightdraws created all these characters we were wee lads, like 8 years old and their designs haven't chnaged much aside from some logistics, some name changes, story beats, etc.

The first chunk are the main characters of the story, Viper and Calisto and the three brothers that go by the aliases Red, Fang and Killer. The secnd two are Izzy and Sy, different embodyments/parts of one soul of the same being if you will. Essentially functioning as an ally to the gang and an enemy depending on the context.

In it's simplest explaination I can give without just rambling, the main group are all vampires with different attachments or relationships to their existence as vampires. The girls however are also able to use magic, taught to them by charcters like Izzy and Sy who took them in almost as wards. Izzy is an enigmatic being establishing themselves as a god within their universe and others. Left abandoned after certain tramatic events, the brothers live in isolation before the girls more of less invade their house and decided they would be living there against the brothers' will.

love how there are pretentious video essays that just repeat the book and meander and ramble about house of leaves. it's what zampanó would have wanted. it is not, however, what I want

shannon! hello! i was looking at your pinterest boards again (they're so aesthetic i love it!) and marty's really stood out to me! so i wanted to ask, what's his story like? any fun things about him? :)

OMG blu!!! ( @xxluckystrike ) hello!! :D i hope you're doing well! <3 (and thanks so much for stopping by the askbox!) AWWWWE thanks so much!!! :') that means so much to me omggg, my pinterest boards for my OCs are truly some of my favorite things to collect and put together - it just helps so much with writing, the vibes i try to go for, the aesthetic of course, quotes, face claims, scene inspo for them.....i could go on haha! it truly helps so so much for me, so i appreciate it SO much!! :)

my sweet bean marty!!! you can absolutely ask about him (and i am beyond happy to talk about him!) and i've been working with writing him a bit more for the fic and just !!!!! i love him so so much! :)

SO!!!! Marty - or to others Martin Armstrong, or to Esther, her little brother by about 14 months haha! In the story, we won't really see a *whole* lot about Marty face-to-face, but Esther thinks about him a lot and does mention him throughout the story when thinking about home and her childhood (two major things that hang off of her like a comfy cardigan). My best way to describe Marty is that not only is he Esther's brother, but he's tough as nails, intelligent, charming, resourceful, loyal, a ride-or-die type of friend, and one helluva medic out in the Pacific (corpsmen, he's in the Marines, but for sake of better word)!

Marty worked at the nearby Navy Yard, with a few school friends, but once Esther went to school and war rumblings crossed the Atlantic, he decided to sign up for the Marines - he wanted to be with the best of the best, and with Dad as a Marine, he wanted to follow in his footsteps. So when Esther went to work at Fort Bragg with W-Sector, Marty was sent to Parris Island, South Carolina where he underwent his training before being sent to the Pacific.

He gets close with a group of guys in the Marines his age - Charlie Godfrey (his closest friend in the platoon) along with Joey Merrie, Calvin Hindton, Glenn Jercovic, Roger Kaplan and Warren Whitwatcher. Fun fact: Charlie Godfrey's little sister, Flo, is on a certain base in Europe, working as a mechanic on the ‘Flying Fortresses’ throughout 1943, helping take care of a dog named Meatball (lol!).

Marty’s role in the story is really this enigma of being Esther’s brother and someone consistently important to her life (to then parallel another OC, Jeannie, the tragic story of her and her brother, Fitzgerald, but more on that another time).

Him being a medic is one of the things that really defines his character, especially being out in the pacific, and I purposely write some of his letters to Esther where he describes what that experience is like and what he goes through to further exemplify his character and his inherent need to help people. From the way Esther talks about him early on in the fic, you wouldn’t really *guess* that about him but the more we hear and see of him, and once he starts mentioning it, we see where that makes sense.

And if anything, Marty is VERY proud of his sister! :) [#1 supportive lil brother truly]

SO NOW…..a I have a moodboard and a snippet for you as a thank you for asking about him! :) ENJOYYYYY!!!!! He truly is one of my favorites and such a good person! <3

Another fun fact: Esther has brought up Marty 71 times and I only have 23 chapters written! Lol!

Everywhere she looked, she saw her brother; she saw Marty in the doorway to their home, with his backpack and long socks on his first day of 1st grade. She saw Marty at the kitchen table, his usual spot left open for him ever since that day he left. She saw him in the family room, not only in a few notable pictures, but in his usual slightly dented spot on the couch that the majority of people left open. Half the time it still felt like Marty was there.

May 10th marks the one year anniversary of...

The day I fell in love with this peculiar individual. Let me explain...

See one day I was just lying up in bed watching YouTube and minding my business. That's when this video popped up in my feed

Now mind you around this time I was kinda dipping my toes into KISS and the fandom in general. I was vaguely familiar with the members of the band. I was like "Oh yeah that's Gene, right? That's the guy who pukes up blood and sticks his tongue out."

I watched it. And something about Gene's eyes in that video put a terrible spell on me(And that's when the trouble started I think 🤣). And then I was like "Yeah I'll watch some more. Why not?"

I think this was the first time I had heard Gene's "Demon" voice and I immediately melted into a fangirly little puddle when I heard him speak. Every "Oh yeah?!" a Cupid's arrow in my own heart.

Also that one part where he just stops playing his bass and he slowly looks around at the audience while he's just COATED in all that fake blood 🫣😖🥵

But that wasn't enough. Now I knew of Gene "The Demon" Simmons' existence, I needed to know more. I needed more!

So I took to Google and YouTube. I saw what he looked like in 1983 when they took off the makeup and I was like "Wow! So that's what you were hiding from us till then?! You should've took the makeup off sooner!"

I saw what he looked like in the 90s during KISS's Revenge era. I've said it before but at first I didn't care much for the band's look during this time. But I thought Gene still looked daddy af(Just as I do now lol).

I saw some clips from Gene Simmons: Family Jewels and I watched and read some interviews, etc. Moment by moment, second by second, I was falling for this strange old man.

And then I said to myself "I gotta look at the fanfiction in this fandom."

I got onto AO3 and looked through the Gene Simmons/Reader tag. I read "The Man With The Smoldering Eyes"(I absolutely adore Hillsofuhhhtennessee's portrayal of Gene/Demon in all of her fics actually.). I read "Dolls". I read "Great Expectations". By the time I was done, Gene was already living rent free in my brain.

And now here we are. Looking back, I wonder if it was ever possible for me to resist his devilish charms?

Then again, I would've never met any of you wonderful people, my mutuals!
