look at my neopets, boy

[yanderefarm]

yandere vampire's pet

cw;; dehumanization?, blood, vampires, humans as pets, yandere, angst, suggestive

this is the last named and drawn oc i have ready. i still have two more concepts in my drafts but they're not finished yet.

this might not show his yandere tendencies as well as characters like ares or emil but he's more of a self destructive type. he's more likely to hurt himself for doing something wrong than he is likely to hurt someone for touching you.

also i had to include the vampire guilt and angst im only human (human with a guilt kink)

you're a vampire lord in a world run by vampires with a yandere human pet who you found in a run down human farm after he basically threw himself at you. who clung to your leg and insisted he tasted so sweet you wouldn't regret taking in. who you took pity on seeing his scarred neck and decided to take him with you home.

you fed him and brought him to full health in a year. on the anniversary he begged on his knees for you to make him your pet. you complied. you didn't expect the preservation procedure that would allow him to stay with you forever to mess up his brain. or maybe this was always his personality.

he begged you every day to feed on him. he would sneak into your bed chamber and cut his neck to wake you up. he would sit himself in your lap around noon and undo his shirt buttons to give you easy access. if you dared to refuse him he would cry and beg so pathetically.

you made him this way why didn't you want him? he would often cry until you feel guilty for destroying his humanity. you always gave into him. he always got clingier. he tried not to get in your way during work but one day you let him lay his head on your lap and sit in your office quietly all day. so you had to let him again the next day.

if he really pushed too far you would lock him in an old attic room. oh how he sobbed. you would open the door the next day to be met with his bloodshot eyes that held no light. he would kiss your shoes and cling to your legs while he spoke hoarse apologies. you always forgave him and carried him in your arms to eat breakfast.

on the occasions that you two went to a party held by your fellow vampire lords he would always try to show off. you'd buy him new clothes and a new ribbon to hide his old scars. he liked being the most beautiful arm candy for you. it wasn't unusual for high quality pets to get passed around at these parties. at the end of the night he would often find himself in a strange bed, dizzy from being bled and pathetically crying for you.

your dear pet had spent the whole night being ravaged while you were doing business. his naked and used body laying in the unfamiliar bed, barely conscious. you sighed as you sunk onto the bed, your added weight causing him to shift slightly but he made no noise. usually by now he would be sobbing and reaching wildly for you, those degenerates must have really worked him hard.

you reached out and played with a piece of his hair. "I'm sorry, you poor pathetic creature."

your cold lifeless hands gently brush against his warm cheek. his body finally shifts a little, instinctively pulling away from the cold. you can't help the sad smile that falls on your lips seeing that. you forget how cold you are with how he clings to you at every opportunity. you can smell his blood right now and the tug of your instincts tells you to feed. you forget that you're a monster with how he treats you with such adoration and reverence.

"your life would have been better if you never met me." you push his hair away from his neck, revealing the old scars with fresh wounds scattered among them. your fingers brush against his pulse and he gasps.

you watch his olive eyes blink open slowly, they look almost too heavy to open. you want to gently close them like one would a corpse but the wide smile that spreads across his face stops you. if your heart could still beat you're sure it would have skipped.

"good morning." you said softly.

he used all his remaining strength to wrap around your waist. "y/n..."

his voice is so hoarse and he sounds so exhausted but there's the undeniable happiness. you guide his head to your lap, cold fingers twirling around his hair again.

"was i good...?" his eyes blinked slow again.

"yes. you were so amazing again tonight." you felt the weight of guilt pressing against your chest.

"reward m'...~" you knew he was asking you to indulge in him as so many others had tonight so you just ignored him.

you gently gathered him up in your arms, the top sheet draping over his body. you grabbed his discarded ribbon off the bed before you began carrying him out. the ribbon was sat on his stomach and his weak hands fiddled with it idly. he seemed to be too deep in thought to let sleep overtake him again.

"master... 'm glad you made me...." he nuzzled his head against your chest.

"your father made you." you corrected as you approached your carriage.

"no... y'... made m' y'r pathetic creature." his eyes finally started to close. "so glad m' life is master's.."

15 Questions Tag Game

01 - Are you named after anyone?

First name: nope Second name: yep, after my grandma

02 - When was the last time you cried?

So as a kid, I took MSE (self-defense) classes, I did ballet for a short while, and I played badminton. But now I'm not really doing much sports anymore. I'm occasionally working out in a sad attempt to stay healthy but that's...not working out all that well because I keep forgetting about it lol. That being said, I walk anywhere as long as it's a walkable distance away (to me, that's around 90min max), idc it's the European mindset. Der Fußbus hält überall :)

05 - Do you use sarcasm?

As if I would ever smh what are these accusations

06 - What is the first thing you notice about people?

When I pass strangers on the street, I try to look for little moments that bring them joy. That being said, 90% of the time I'm just lost in my own thoughts & have completely tunnel vision, so imagine noticing anything 😭 When I first meet people tho, it's usually the way they look at you, which tbh is a little ironic because I sometimes just cannot look people in the eyes NFDHSKGJHKSDLGS

07 - What's your eye color?

They used to be blue, but now they're more of a greyish green with a few brown spots in them

08 - Scary movies or happy endings?

Okay endings, actually! Where characters don't get the happy ending they were hoping for, and some things are still a little messy, but all in all things are okay and they finally get to breath again. Though I guess that's kind of a happy ending? lol

09 - Any talents?

My newest talent is being able to imitate the cry of an owl. My sister explained it to me earlier & once I got it to work I've been doing it non-stop until I got lightheaded 😭 Worth it tho Other than that, being able to teach myself the basics of a lot of things within a day (one of the upsides of ADHD), as well as abandoning a lot of my projects after a while because I suddenly decided to start a completely different one (one of the downsides of ADHD) I also have a real talent for writing angst. Ask any of my closer mutuals, I keep terrorizing them with my ideas (love you guys 💖) And finally: telling myself that I'll go to sleep early & then it's 5am

10 - Where were you born?

in Germanyyy fun fact: I was born more or less close to a town that has a store called 'Mephisto' lol

11 - What are your hobbies?

being insane, obviously 💚 some of my mutuals can surely attest to that lol No, but in general I enjoy writing & drawing, as well as, uhm. Randomly deciding to take up multiple really time-consuming projects, such as the OM card rec thing I did that I still need to update ahhhh, my Obey Me OC & MC ask game that originally had 200+ questions before I cut it in half out of fear of it being too long, half of my side blogs, and SOOOO many other things. <- or in short, being insane 💚 I also really love cooking & baking! Side note, if anyone wants an easy chocolate lava cake recipe, you just need to ask... 👀 Also lately it's just been romancing Thanatos in Hades because I randomly remembered that I hadn't done that yet

12 - Do you have any pets?

I used to have clownfish and a starfish, but other than that I've never had any myself. I love the dogs I dogsit with all my heart tho, and there is this cat that I sometimes meet on my way to work. She always runs up to me when she sees me and won't stop meowing until I start petting her, and last time she climbed onto my lap (I sat down in the middle of the sidewalk, I did not care lmao), she's literally the sweetest 😭😭 I also ring the doorbell for her whenever it rains so she doesn't have to stay outside lol

13 - How tall are you?

1,68m or 5'6 if I got the conversion correct lol

14 - Favourite subject in school?

Heavily depended on the teacher, but generally art class because we usually got to work on whatever we wanted with and listen to music. Also English in 9th grade, math in 10th and German in 11th because the teachers were great

15 - Dream job?

I've been thinking of translations in general/software localizition for a while now. I just love dissecting all the small differences between languages (D.D.D.s being called 'D3' my beloved), + there are so many invisble choices made when translating. You'll always lose something because every language has its little quirks and a different mindset that can't be translated directly, but you'll also gain something that the original version didn't have. It's an art form in itself, and I really love that <3 The other job that keeps popping into my mind is event mangement. I already get to organize a ton of things for my uni since I'm part of the student council for one of my two majors. It's exhausting, but also really rewarding when you have people come up to you afterwards to tell you how much fun they had!

No pressure tags for a bunch of people, hehe >:) @alpine-forget-me-nots @healersadjust @misc-magic @sweetbrier2908 @reblogs-are-the-love @shootingstarrfish @mjoria @too-much-gacha @layphie @katboykirby @ghostlyyraccoon @lost-in-lamentation @bagofwetmice @glamphantasm @wizardthesai @mellonyheart @arlatthan as well as anyone else that wants to join!

To be fair, Shine is better than other guardians cuz she's a good pet owner, she treats humans as creatures that need care and love just as much as how in real life, actual pet owners who know how hard taking care of your pets are due to their complex biology and natures

It's dehumanizing to us that she sees her humans as precious pets but they're more like her children, similar to how pet owners call their pets as their kids, though there are differences, taking care of a pet and taking care of a baby requires similar skills and have the same hardships

You can argue that Shine's love towards her humans are abusive in a way since it's similar to helicopter parenting but again she's not a Human so she probably doesn't understand how harmful it is, she might think she's doing a good job cuz she doesn't abuse her humans and actually let them have freedom

Mizi's tragedy was not that she has a loving alien mother, but that she lived in such a good caring family that when she's sent out there cuz she wants to explore the world and spread love, she gets hit with the cruel reality, she couldn't comprehend what she had was Heaven compared to others of her species, it's like a girl who left her perfect home and get fucked over cuz the world isn't kind to anyone

I like to think that maybe Shine does know how bad the pet human system is, but instead of teaching it to her humans, she allowed them to learn it themselves cuz I can imagine even if she tried to communicate it to Mizi, Mizi probably thought "It's fine, I can do it!" Plus if it comes from an alien who's directly responsible for the dehumanization, it wouldn't work that well, I rather they learn it themselves, hell her pet humans might think she's restricting their freedom, it's really a complicated situation and with the fact that she's a transcendental immortal, it's possible that she sees this human slavery issue as another passing thing, maybe this wasn't the first time this happens with these aliens or Shine's species, so Shine thinks that it's not her job to be the Humans' savior, it's their job, I don't think it's that bad that she doesn't involve herself even if she knows it's bad, to a creature that has seen it all, this is probably nothing to her so she left it to her humans, she won't stop but she won't directly help, yes Shine being an observer in all of this might be terrible but then again, everyone should know that aliens or any other species are not tied by our morals or any moral at all, NOT EVERYTHING IS OBLIGED TO DO THE RIGHT THING

To be fair, one seeing Shine as evil cuz she just does nothing even though it's not damaging her in any way and she probably doesn't even get the entire thing, it's like yelling at an ant cuz it bites you even though it clearly doesn't know, will not comprehend or think about your feelings at all, IT'S NATURE, still though I do hate ants when they bite me, really itchy

But I DO LOVE SHINE, honestly lady is a Saint compared to basically any other aliens in this show, I love this fanart so much, baby Luka is better with Shine, than that weird ugly ass fucker Heperu

This is why Alien Stage is a masterpiece, it nails how aliens don't have to be "species we should kill", they're species just like any species that have ever existed on this world

Alien Stage brings up this issue that I always have, is someone a bad creature just because they can't see the bad things they're doing? Should Shine be killed because she's just another one of those evil aliens that harm humans, I believe aliens and humans can live peacefully together, Shine's species seem to be into that, they don't see any difference with humans even though humans are like ants to them but I can't say about the rest of the other species, even Hyuna's guardian, Phan is from a species that literally doesn't give a shit about humans or the human entertainment thing, so yeah that's another diverse aspect

I NEED TO YAP ABOUT ALIEN MOM CUZ SHE REMINDS ME OF MY MUSE OC (not from Alien Stage) WHO IS SUPER SIMILAR TO HER ALMOST LIKE A EQUIVALENT AND SHE'S PINK TOO

Interestingly, I don't think Shine is a helicopter parent! Because Alnst gives us an actual helicopter parent to compare to —

Shine hasn't shown signs of being controlling with Mizi, in fact it's the opposite. If you look at any of Mizi's or Shine's materials, it's consistently only Mizi's will that shows up, not Shine's.

You wanna learn how to sing better and perform on Alien Stage? Here's the best training school in the galaxy.

You wanna dye your hair? Absolutely and here's a new dress to go with it to celebrate you passing the preliminaries.

They seem to spoil Mizi rather which can be its own problematic parenting trait, but Mizi doesn't let it go to her head and I'd like to think Shine is so willing to give her whatever she wants because she doesn't let it go to her head.

The only time we ever see a hint of Shine's own will is:

"A very old and divine being conceived you to me" and "They feel great affection and interest in humans so they adopted Mizi"

"They always sit closest to the stage to cheer her on"

Even Mizi's adoption isn't something Shine does of their own initiative. It's a request from another entity and Shine accepted due to their affection and interest in Mizi.

"Our precious youngest who always brings something new" hhhhhhhhrgghhh

Absolutely the feeling of being doted on by the entire family species.

Tbh I've always seen Shine as a little clumsy but trying their hardest (probably read up allll of those how to take care of your pet-human manuals when she was first adopted) because of Mizi's glasses, which are the wrong prescription.

The glasses were probably the right perscription the first time but never got updated as her eyes got worse because it just slips their mind in the deep sea. Well-meaning but clumsy.

-

Also hi thanks Shine adopting Luka is my newest favorite AU wtf is this miracle combination of "can sit for hours without doing anything" x "can sit for hours without getting bored"

Another nitpick I want to point out

Clutch fights against Sonic, Eggman and Surge (Kit can go fuck himself the boy has no real personhood)

Who is the one who finally knocks him down? Surge. Surge is the one who displays a level of power never previously displayed, and she's the one who fries everyone.

What does Eggman do? Nothing, really. He just drags Clutch away for... purposes. But he basically steals Surge's victory.

What does Sonic do? Nothing. Worse than nothing, in fact. He expects Clutch the eco-terrorist to apologize, and then when Eggman takes him away he's like "oh I feel bad for him :<"

Eggman is there for fanservice. Sonic is there because I guess Stanley got notes from Flynn to write him as Discount Steven Universe again. But Surge is the real star of the fight.

something something the comic doesn't want to use canon characters

Like I said: why couldn't Surge do that earlier?

Surge being the one who KO's Clutch actually makes the least possible sense, because it demonstrates that she could have just killed Clutch at any time she wanted. Sonic or Eggman being the one who stops him would have made more sense because he's never encountered either of them before.

Oh but, silly me, Sonic and Eggman are from the video games. The MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERS from the video games in fact. So OBVIOUSLY they can't be the ones who defeat Evan Stanley's precious little creators pet villain sue OC boy. The only one who can defeat an OC is another OC, because lord knows those dumb smelly stinky stupid video game characters can't be allowed to do anything in this comic that is named after them, because they're inferior to our OCs in every way don'tchuknow.

MAY I KNOW WHO TAKARA IS 👀👀 bc flags member oc (?) sounds so epic

awkwardly looks around. um. so. let me preface this by saying takara was actually created with the intent of making everyone involved here suffer,

takara is a fankid oc born after ranpo and lippmann hooked up at some point shortly before the events of storm bringer. in the canon universe (ehhh well not Canon exactly but, the close-to-canon au where takara exists) lippmann dies before either he or ranpo even know she was conceived and his ability is passed onto her. then ranpo gives her up for adoption after she's born bc what's he gonna do? raise a child? absolutely not. he has no interest in that.

my notes on her copy and pasted from discord:

even as a kid, she's very charming and very good at getting what she wants from people, between being well-spoken and intelligent. she goes too far with it sometimes and doesn't really understand the consequences of her actions are, in fact, consequences of her actions. she's probably got the tism from ranpo. also important to note she has a beauty mark like lippmann's in approximately the same place

name: takara ishi, kanji for first and last name can be 宝石 which was the name of the irl edogawa ranpo's mystery fiction journal. takara meaning treasure/jewel and ishi meaning stone ability name: actor of a hundred faces

- she likes sweets - she's clumsy - her hair is impossible to tame - the bunny is a family pet

obviously in canon-esque universe, takara ends up coming back into contact with ranpo anyway at some point bc she's interested to know more about her birth family (and she's also got this insane ability for ?? basically no reason at all as far as she and her adoptive parents can tell??) so she and ranpo have an amicable relationship but it's more like.. ranpo's her weird older cousin or estranged uncle than her dad. which they're both fine with

but ohhhh in a flags live au...... lippmann would keep her and he would love her so much. and all of the flags would absolutely adore her. and through seeing their love for her, ranpo would end up liking her even more too. because in canonverse he carries out the pregnancy mostly out of a sense of obligation so while he doesn't resent takara, there's still a sort of.. disconnect there that just can't be gapped. but if the flags live and ranpo sees how lippmann looks at her like she's the sun moon and stars, he starts to see her that way too. they actually don't even end up together bc they want different things and they never planned for their relationship to go past a hookup anyway but they're still friendly towards one another. in my mind (said as if this isn't my oc story) there's a stretch of time after takara is born (while the pm and ada are at odds) where ranpo isn't really in contact with either of them, and then after the truce is made, he starts spending more time with takara. but because of the tension between groups it was safest if he just cut contact. also because can you imagine: pov you're ranpo edogawa the world's greatest detective and this new guy with a shady past shows up wanting to be part of your detective agency and you look at him and realize he was previously with the mafia instantly and then you look at him again and. this kid. this guy. demon prodigy mafia executive-turned-unemployed loser. held your daughter as an infant???? i would go insane. and then dazai on the inverse looks at ranpo and is like woah all those insane fan theories were wrong. that's lippmann's baby mama. and he's not a mama. insane. okay i'm done now

HAL’S PARFUM GIVEAWAY — THANKS FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS!

within the next month or so, ren will have been established for four years on tumblr. that's an awesome feat. i've made a lot of great connections here, have started a manga, and have started a parfum (perfume) business all within that time (and more). to celebrate, i want to do a giveaway of something more tangible than my usual prizes of digital goods.

here's the deal: 2 winners, 2 prizes. random generated / non-bias.

prize 1: a custom parfum made by me for whatever you want. this can be a signature scent, a custom for a canon or oc, your own creation, an attempt at a recreation of a currently marketed perfume (britney spears or something), etc. my idea is that i'll limit scents to around 6, unless i decide the blend calls for more. most blends have 3-7 scents anyways. please note that i don't have every single scent in the world, especially in the ways that i am sourcing them to be at the highest quality, thus not every scent is available at that standard. i have a huge library, so i can always substitute.

prize 2: a pre-made parfum off my menu, which you can find on my IG highlights or on our website — both show what they are, what's in them, what fandom they're for, etc.

when will you get your prizes? pre-mades are asap, unless they want to wait for something to be restocked. customs will be made in february when i have time off, as well as have ordered a full scent and bottle restock. we'll talk shop throughout that time to make sure that the concept is solid. also, be patient with me. i get busy.

a quick aside ... these are vegan, pet-friendly, organic, all-natural parfums. they are essential oil rollers using grapeseed as the carrier with slight vitamin e. be transparent about allergies. in addition, i use only organic essential oils and IFRA-approved fragrance oils, meaning they're basically non-american products that are held to a higher standard, thus not containing carcinogens or parabens. i make these all myself.

important links: my IG and our store — both have menus for the parfums, including what's in stock.

to enter, you have to ... like this post at least, though you can reblog it as entry. you have to be following me. if you unfollow me after winning, that's bad news bears. if you follow me just for this giveaway only to unfollow after, again ... don't do it. let's keep it clean. also, it'd be nice if we'd at least have interacted or talked, but it's not required. just be my mutual.

giveaway ends february 1st ... that's enough time, right?

thinking about that thing with ur rabbit ocs in the hotel where they just hang out with william because of his wretched fucking vibe sorry can you tell us more about this hi mutual but thwyre on my mind it was like he had enough dreadful aura to.provide electricity to their freak shack or something and I remeber laughing really hjard because it's like they have to keep him around every once in a while long enough for his nasty vibes to seep int o the wall s I imagine they're like ok can you just stand in the boiler room for a little bit here's a snack ok and then sheoop the lights come on sorry am I stupid this is like really good to me always make things.up they're so cool I meant to draw these girls I just have been busy but their designs Ohh man but anyway sorry in my head he's kinda like third wheeling them obnoxiously when he comes around and its rlly embarrassing for him ok

HEKBSKSNJSNDJ no yeah its literally like that♡

cause like the hotel thing takes place right after his weird fnaf 3 springtrap possesion cellar thing w vanny 1.0, long story short william can like switch between springtrap n vanny1 possesion style (partially)because of weird cassidy shit n whatever, so he basically has this era where hes like small white woman so he can get around n do shit during the day and also occasionally shanking people(🙄) n work on TortureTrap. anyways eventually detective golden freddy n cassandra get on his ass n he ends up getting shot......... 😨 mind you vanny1 is still like fully conscious and aware thru this whole thing btw while hes actively destroying her entire life♡ but he like gets away n does this weird like...... agony....... soul exchange tranformation thing ....... so he can like have his own human body again, its weird n convoluted but dw the specifics arent that relevant rn. basically just keep in mind hes technically an agony creature now n semi bound by weird agony logic. oh and also vanny1 is fucking dead forreal now grins 😁. OKAY.... HOTEL TIME.

So after that whole thing The Gals end up finding him n taking him home, they were probably gonna like eat him r smth or torture him for sustinence but they end up figuring out he can actually single handedly power the entire building because he just sucks that bad💕

(side note but agony can also influence certain inanimate objects so to speak, like electricity and entire buildings +another side note but also all buildings r technically alive in my fnaf universe just a fun fact 4 you dw abt the implications of this rn♡♡♡ anyways♡♡♡)

so anywho he kinda lives w them semi permanently for a while, he like goes out to do his own shit in Public (killing more people🙄 because its fun but also because he genuinely needs to now to stay alive yaay💖) and when the power starts to dwindle at the hotel one of the ladies goes out n hunts him down for a recharge. its literally like almosst exactly what you described too hsjsbbdb like they sit him down n give him cigarettes n snacks n shit until the power comes back on fully lol.

ugh they make my laugh, he literally is like hopeless third wheel moment 95% of the time<3 the other 5% of the time they treat him like their pet<3 its FUNNY its funny to me god..... i fucking love these guys<33333 being dead for like a year or two and larping as a 20 year old high school drop out in 1995 did him ZERO fucking favours it genuinely hurts me hes so awkward and embarrassing, imagine trying so hard to relate to ageless lesbian rabbit women as a 50 smth year old man while they use you like a glorified generator and treat you like a dog. fucks sake. its over man💔 HVFJB even when he lives with three+ whole other people he still has no friends.................... #Sad 😢

other than that tho they get along fine. like no one is outright hostile to him besides pestilence, she does not give a shit abt this guy she doesnt even like actively hate him r anything they literally just annoy each other his vibes r that rancid. she likes to fuck w him tho, she'll go n fetch him most of the time bc she like to chase him around<333 i imagine it sort of evolves into like a weird homoertic rivarly type thing, deep deep down they do kinda appreciate each other(and also the THEMES) just dont expect them to ever be nice abt it lmao.

him n Franceska r also kinda funny like shes rlly friendly but Will just does not fucking get her. at all. shes like pyro from tf2 she can talk but shes unintelligable w the mask on and she has it on nearly all of the time neither of the other ladies have an issue w it tho its just him, they do play card games when hes stuck in The Basement tho. Vivienne is the only one thats like legitimately chill w him i think shes kind of just like that, shes the certified weed smoking girlfriend of the bunch you will not catch her without that fucking pipe bro or a cigar she always has smth she also supplies his shit too so it works out<333

hi can you plz help I would like to know what artfight is but I have no idea what it is or how it works. And the website doesn't really help. I also sent an ask to actual artfight but that was weeks ago and they haven't responded. So could you tell me what you're supposed to do before and during july in detail. And what are attacks? sry I am very confused abt this whole thing. (sry you dont have to answer if you dont want)

Hey don't worry about it!! I don't mind at all! Not sure how well I can explain but I'll try!

So basically the game is about people drawing each other's characters. There's two teams, and the theme changes every year, the theme for this year hasn't been announced yet but they're things like: dream vs nightmare or sugar vs spice, just things that are opposites. After the theme is revealed you can either chose which team you want to be on, or wait until the event starts, then you'd automatically join the smaller team. The theme reveal this year is streaming on twitch on the 15th this month, so (if I remember correctly) people will be able to chose their teams from the 16th to July 1st.

Everybody uploads their characters, you can upload anywhere from 1 to 100, you can upload either fan characters (with credit to the creators) or original ocs, I've seen people even do their pets, which I honestly don't understand, BUT you can do it. For uploading a character you add pictures to be used as drawing references for your character and a description, the description is optional but it does help people know what to draw the character doing, what their personality is, and do they have a story? You can upload a character at any time in the year, including July. I like to do all my character prep before July, but my first year I uploaded a couple on July first.

After the game begins on July first (there will be an exact countdown) people can start drawing and posting attacks. Which are drawings of other user's characters. (Friendly fire is an option) The more effort put into the attack the more points it gives. For instance: a full body picture of a character sitting on a bench with shading, gains more points than a headshot of a character with a solid color background without shading ect. Friendly fire takes a percentage off of the points since it's done against team members, though I don't remember how much. The attacks are not rated on the skill of the user, so a headshot made from an expert artist would not get more points than a headshot from a beginner. How much of the character is visible, how much shading, how clean the coloring, how clean the line art is and the background, all of these go into how much points the attack earns.

Drawing attacks before the game starts is against the rules, as the whole point of the game is attack during the month.

As the month goes on people continue to attack each other, the game ends on August first, the point tailing usually takes a few days but then the winning team is announced, there is no prize other than a digital badge, and bragging rights. But even the team that lost is happy, since everyone got art of their ocs. I know I don't fight to win, I just like drawing people's characters.

Here's a link to my artfight, I dunno, maybe you can kind of use it as a reference.

I think I mentioned everything? But if you're still confused on something just ask again and I'll try to word it better. You are not bothering me I'm glad to help! I hope this helps and you join!

I mostly like old folk songs that I picked up from my mom and dad. My dad didn't know that many songs and none of them fit in with "normal" music, as far as I can tell. My mom knew songs that sound, well, more musical. I chalk that up to there being a musician in the family a few generations back.

I kinda know "classical" music. But that's just 'cause I like to dance to that kind of sound.

18) What’s the best way to cheer you up?

I cheer up the most when I spend time with my friends. The exact activity changes with whoever I hang out with, but as long as I'm with a friend, my day gets brighter.

I go out social dancing with Finral (he makes an excellent leader or follower, by the way). Gordon, Gauche, and Grey like to set up tea or coffee with lots of snacks to cheer me up. Noelle and Yami train with me to cheer me up. And when all the girls get together to cheer me up, it's basically a make over day for all of us.

21) Describe your ideal partner.

Hrm. I've never really been truly attracted to anyone other than Morgen or Nacht. I've fancied people in passing but... Nevermind.

If I had to put it into words, my ideal partner is someone who is kind to their very core. That kindness can be apparent or buried deep down, so long as it's there, I'm happy. They'd be someone who puts their best into what they do, even if they have to take time to find the will to do so. My ideal partner should be someone I've known for years and find incredibly easy to love, as in if I'm asked about my love for them, my answer is out the second the question is asked.

I guess ideally, my partner would be skilled enough to go hunting with me and neither Faust has been able to do that. But I honestly prefer Morgen and Nacht the way they are over any imagined perfect partner in my head.

22) What’s the easiest way to flirt with you?

O-oh? Well... Morgen and Nacht both have different pet names for me and all of them make my heart flutter a bit. Morgen calling me his "heart" was honestly the most romantic thing in the world. The sound of his voice and the look of his eyes when he said "my heart"... I miss those a lot... Nacht has lots of pet names for me too. "Darling," "my star," "my angel." He says them so sweetly that I just melt!

I guess another tactic to easily flirting with me is giving little kisses here and there. Long kisses are nice but the those quick pecks are playful and leave me wanting for more later~!

5) What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

I train! Whether it's with magic or weapons, I like to make sure I'm at the top of my game! Sure it tires me out but a snack and a shower is enough to bounce me back! Besides, I like to think I look super cool when I train!

I especially love training with my friends and siblings! They've got some awesome spells and it's fun to see them improving too!

7) Who do you look up to?

Oh that's an easy question. I look up to Mother and Father are my main role models of course! I gotta be strong like Mother and I wanna be as clever as Father one day.

Ms. Charlotte, Ms. Noelle, and Ms. Mereoleona too. They're all brave and strong and amazing people who can't be stopped by anything at all! And though I don't really know Uncle Morgen, the fact that I have the same attribute kinda makes me feel like I should live up to the legacy he left behind (you know, minus the evil paladin stuff...)

Anyone who is cool and strong and nice is someone I think it worth looking up to honestly!

Dusk Faust

5) What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

Read mostly. Fantasy novels, "writing for dummies" sorts of books, gaming rulebooks and modules...

And I write a bit too, but it's nothing special. My friends think the stories I come up with are good, but they're the one doing most of the work by being the heroes.

7) Who do you look up to?

I'd say that my biggest role model in life in Lord Fuegoleon Vermillion. He's a dignified man with strong morals. He's a lot more outspoken than I am but he doesn't have to raise his voice to command respect. I... Don't want to be in the spotlight like him, not at all. But I would like to have his confidence one day...

Mrs. Adlai was apparently like me back in the day so I look up to her to reassure me that I won't be a coward forever.

I also look up to Uncle Morgen and the kindness that Mother and Father say he had.

And I guess... Father too. We weren't always close but... He's not good at showing he cares, like me. Still, he protects and loves those he cares about with all his might and even if his best isn't always enough, he tries. I... can't deny that he's a good man.

[prince-liest]

hi! I always get super excited about fandom OCs, so it's been such a treat to hear about Tzafael! I worked a little on a design for them (lmk if you're ok with me posting it) but a lot of questions came up:

this is gonna sound really vague, but what's their vibe? I'm getting "pretends to be a gentleman but will ABSOLUTELY fish for compliments and randomly fuck with people cause of the power play" but I could be totally off. does he ever snap at people/hurt them if they're not polite? are they super condescending like some of the other angels or is he more like adam and kind of,,, uhh openly a dick? or are they more of a crowley type (kind of gooey inside and mostly left heaven because it was too bureaucratic and constricting)? do they burst into hell buildings and just incite chaos? again I know this is super vague but like ,,, basically I need a dialogue snippet to know what they're like lol

what's their accent? do they have special vocal quirks/tics? special catchphrases or words they use a lot?

do they have any real friends in hell (not just contracts)? do they miss anyone from heaven?

did they like being an exorcist?

hobbies?

what are the implications of the magpie/eyeball motifs? do they have a transcendent sense of sight? are they overstimulated or even haunted by the fact that they have to see so much all the time? do they have any bird habits (preening is a must lol but anything else?)? do they have a nictitating membrane and freak people out by blinking sideways with all of their eyes?

is their magpie form like a really scary demon form or are they just like. a normal bird. (that's way funnier imo)

I'm sorry but,,, I'm such a sucker for angst. where's his soft spot? how does he react to having it poked? does he lash out like a panicked animal or break down and try to hide?

do they have sharp teeth? I've seen that in other art of them but since they're not technically fallen I'm thinking of just doing fangs

how would he react to seeing a child (is he good with children? does he terrify/terrorize them?)?

what does "very good grip strength" imply???

whew, sorry for that monster of an ask! you said you liked talking about them so I just vomited everything that came to mind while I was drawing him, but definitely don't answer anything you don't find interesting!

PLEASE DO NOT APOLOGIZE YOU HAVE MADE MY EVENING. Both by offering me a delightful plethora of questions to answer about Tzafael, and also by drawing them aaaaaaaah- I would absolutely love to see you post it!! <3

Long post incoming!!

Their vibe: They are still an angel, and subscribe to morals that involve seeing themselves as a relatively good person - kind of like Lucifer's sense of superiority over sinners! So they are polite and friendly in a way that sometimes makes it evident that they know they can afford to be because they're above most of the people around them. They won't overtly fish for compliments, but that's why stroking their ego is so effective: they won't ask for it, but it's their most major vice. It's like petting a purring tiger. They enjoy when their presence is shocking, so they will absolutely walk casually into places where they know anyone able to identify them will freak out, and they'll visibly find the results amusing, but they won't outright admit to doing it on purpose. When they actually get into conflict with people, they like to look like they're being the bigger man about it, but they're honestly biting at the bit for a reason to go casually nuclear on someone who looks like they deserve it.

Speech patterns: Tangible but not over-the-top valley girl accent. They think it's fucking hilarious. Mildly prone to nefarious laughter, though it's generally because they're genuinely amused.

Friendships: Their concept of friendship is a little bit detachedly celestial. They definitely have friends in every ring, but they're bad about accidentally not visiting for long periods of time and they're prone to feeling like nobody in hell can genuinely understand them. They make contracts with relative ease with people they are friendly with specifically because they like feeling like the person people come to for powerful assistance. They'd probably do best seeing if they can befriend any of the seven sins, to minimize the baseline imbalance of power level and lifespan, but it just feels awkward when they all know Lucifer. The unassuming, baseline comraderie is the main thing they miss about heaven.

On exorcism: They fucking loved the power trip of being an exorcist. Too much. That's why they stayed in hell in the first place. And then they thought about it too damn long and got to know the locals, and now it's just fucking awkward to go around killing indiscriminately. Knowing too much really took the fun out of it! They used to join in on the exorcisms when they came around again, but not anymore.

Hobbies: They keep fish! They like setting up self-maintaining freshwater aquariums of various sorts, and particularly enjoy feeling like they've captured a genuine slice of nature in a fish tank. They visited Vox's shark tanks once and thought they were boring as hell because the sharks are mechanical and he doesn't have any live flora. They also enjoy being a huge gossipy bitch, which is arguably like 90% of what they actually use their powers for.

Powerset: While Lucifer has the power of Creation, Tzafael has the power of Sight. They see a great many things, and they see those things As They Are. So, basically: localized omniscience. They can't read minds, but they can tell if some is lying to them, and they can also see everything within a certain vicinity (depending on how hard they're pushing it), including through walls. This isn't weird or overwhelming to them: it's how they were designed to exist! If anything, losing that would make them feel blind. They also have a very small amount of foresight, which is mostly useful for being hard to hit in a fight and also being obnoxious by unintentionally interrupting people's sentences. This does not help them come off as less condescending.

Leaving heaven: Seeing the truth of things as they are, and seeing everything around makes the facade of heaven frustrating and tedious to swallow. They prefer hell because it feels more honest!

Bird traits: Absolutely hell yes to the nictitating membranes on every single eyeball, which also doubles as protection against any eyeball stabbing! They preen, they adore shiny shit, they love to gab and gossip, and while they are mostly a magpie, any bird seraph is going to be a bird of prey in some way or another, so it is as difficult to break their grip as it would be that of a raptor of similar size. I think it's implied that all heavenly and some demonic beings have various stages of their true forms, so their humanoid birdform is a similar style to what we see from Sera in the first few seconds of meeting her, and their true form is closer to what we see of Stolas at the end of Truth Seekers in Helluva Boss, except with about a billion more looming eyeballs. As for their most humanoid form's teeth: I figured they'd stayed in hell long enough for their teeth to go sharp like Lucifer's, but I am also super down for fangs if you have a design you're playing with!

Children: Ehhh...kinda cute, when they're not Tzafael's responsibility. Frequently funny in small doses or from a distance. Delightfully honest or else delightfully poor liars. Often just not their bag, though, especially if they kids are spoiled or self-absorbed (sorry, what was that? "Hypocrite"? Must have misheard.)

ANGST: They are a social animal and they miss their flock! They keep mooning about potentially reconnecting with Lucifer because they fucking miss heaven, except heaven doesn't feel like it did when they were a kid, so it doesn't feel like home. Any small inconveniences, they feel free to whine about with deliberately humorous dramatics, but when they feel genuinely hurt, they withdraw, hide in their nest, and keep it to themselves as best as they can. It hurts the ego to admit that kind of weakness when they're supposed to be a fucking seraph, especially when they feel alone and without equals in their place in the world. But even though heaven turned out to be a damn lie, they miss family. On a more minor note, they're also a poor sport about being genuinely made fun of in bad faith.

Stolen (part 5)

(Set in my Gore Au. Shortly after @shebeafancyflapjack's A Slip Through Wolrds series. Ft her OC Silver)

Another day had passed by agonisingly slow, still no sign of being discovered by Mary or Humphrey. The creature was still sitting at the entrance of the cave, his eyes scanning through the bushes and brambles, keeping a tight vigil. Silver had challenged herself to a spinning contest; the goal, to see how long it took to spin so fast that her nose started bleeding from both nostrils.

Amy would've laughed if it wasn't for the dire situation that her dizzy friend, luckily, couldn't see. Amy's time was spent tucked away in the corner, gnawing anxiously on her nails, a bad habit. She would've polished off a box of Mayfair Sky Blue no problem - if she had any. On two occasions now, she absentmindedly nibbled against the damaged cuticles, only for the creature to prowl over to her and tug her hand away from her mouth. He'd signed to her 'cub...no...hurt...self'.

He'd heard Silver's hyper spinning and tugged her to the ground to get her to stop, writing on her arm, also telling her to stop for the same reason. Less of the usual annoyance he took to them before, more stern and paternal. A terrifying thought. The girls could play amongst themselves no problem, as long as Silver kept her voice down and Amy didn't clap to loudly, so the basic children's game of Pat-a-cake was quickly out of the question.

Silver had been fussy and dejected at first, but the creature quickly drew her attention elsewhere with ease, which mostly involved scittering his claws along the cave floor to get her attention. When she tried to reach the noise, he put his furred boot in her reach. The blind witchling had quickly mistaken the fur of the creature's boot for a live animal and began petting and fussing at it in awe.

Hours and hours passed in boredom, misery and homesickness. Amy tried to ground herself by twiddling with her hair, something that's always helped her when scared or stressed, but that just cause her to become fidgety, and soon after she began picking at her hangnails again.

"Aww, I hope Mummy let's me keep this cute little guy. Think she will, Ames?" Silver smiled, stroking her fingers along the foot of the creature's boot, still unaware. Amy didn't reply, she couldn't; she was too far away to reach Silver's arm, and any attempt to get closer to her and write was met with a glare from the creature. He didn't trust her not to break the illusion. She's already let slip too much, good thing the happy cub was easily distracted and swayed.

--

Mary difted along through the trees, embers and ash falling slowly from her skeletal hands which hung limp at her sides. She left a scortched trail behind her as she walked, but the leaves and trees didn't burst into flames, only blackened and shriveled to crackling ash. She had no more tears to shed, all her grief was now channelled through her palms, which crackled and expelled sparks and bursts of smoke hotter than lava.

She neared a patch of colour on the ground, prompting her to stop in her tracks. A beautiful little patch of grass with fresh buds, where the snowdrops grew. Her scalding heart pinched, memories flooding back.

"Mummy, look! Look! They're tiny little ballerina fairies! Aren't they beautiful?"

"So's they are! My my, little'en, for a blind little wench thou hath the eyes of a hawk for spotting such diddy little wood-folk"

"Rude! Haha, I wish I could dance like them, don't think I'd be as good. Especially in these boots"

"Oh tush and flops! Thou art a grand danceress, darling girl! Any soul who spews otherwise be nought more than a jealous old sour bones! And thou cans tell them thats from me!"

"Haha. But- I'm not a fairy, Mummy... I'll never be as pretty as them. They have wings and golden hair and sparkly skirts"

"Who's to say you is not a fairy, my little darlin'? Thou hath the grace of the spring breeze, the voice of the merfolk, the smiles of the shiniest stars. And as for wings, thou doth hath wings, darling girl"

"Wait, really?! Where? Where's my wings, Mummy? Are they big? Are they pretty?"

"'Tis up to you, little'en. Close thy eyes, darling girl. Breathe deeps, focus on thy wings. Feel them flutter in the winds, hear them flap. Are they feathered? Are they of t'flesh? Mayhaps they is made of pretty shiney glass? Do they twinkle so? Whatever does come into thy mind's eye be the right answer, little'en. No soul can change them, they is all yours, darling girl"

Mary couldn't bring herself to look at the patch of barely blooming flowers any longer. She turned from them and held her scalded apron to her mouth. To think she used to be an obiding Catholic woman, set straight on her beliefs, only to have it all snatched away. Then to become a haunting wraith of flame and agony, with one little glimmer of love left, only for her to be taken away also.

A twig snapped nearby and Mary froze. Turning her skull to face the noise, she held her breath with a wheeze. Maybe? Could it be? Was ally mistaken? Unable to properly track due to exhaustion and pain?

"Darling girl?... Be that you?"

She stepped closer to the sound, dropping her apron, her hands outstretched, ready to embrace the girl she was picturing skipping from the bush ahead.

"Hath thou finally returned to Mummy?"

The bush trembled, and through the branches, a fox scattered. It's green eyes shot up to Mary and it stilled, it's bushy tail flicking behind it.

Oh

Such a foolish old woman. To think she'd disbelieve her ally, the one spirit which had been on the land since before many of these passing livings were even born. Before their hundredth great grandparents before them were born. The little canine tucked it's tail away and sped past Mary, disappearing into the undergrowth, just as quickly as her daughter had.

Smoke rose from beneath her scorched feet, the leaves beneath catching aflame and shriveling. The damp soil hissed and poured vapour, mixing into a toxic cloud with the smoke. Mary wailed, dropping to her knees in the leaves. Embers billowed from beneath her rags and floated upwards in a thunderous whirlwind.

--

He returned to the house alone. He walked Mary back to the woods, it was the least he could do; remember his chivalry and then he can grieve. The two exchanged very few words after the devastating news had been revealed by the creature. Their eyes dazed downward towards the dirt, their dead hearts snapped in two. He was barely able to give a soft apology to the witch, if she could even hear him over the sound of her own heartbreak.

The house was dark, cold, damp, empty, the way it usually is. Yet, it felt truly devoid, a lapse between the real and the imaginary, like a place you only visit in nightmares. You see it once and that's enough to prompt you to never wish to see it again. The other dead residents must've overheard the frantic commotion caused by himself and the witch throughout the days, as they'd huddle away and lower their heads as he passed. He didn't care if any of them approached, be them a guard or otherwise; he wouldn't resist arrest now, he had no reason to be here anymore. All he cared about was gone.

Back in the room where he'd gotten to meet her for the first time, the one that foolish female guard had hussled her into that fateful day. The vacant bed looked just as horrific as the note left behind by one of Sophie's acquaintances, the one who set them up, caused all this chaos and tore their lives apart. The whole room felt stark bare without her here, like she breathed a second life into the foundations, given the irony.

"You okay, Poppet? You still worried about Mum?... Yeah, I know, Poppet, it's hard for you without her. Must be weird to go from spending each day with her to- well, none at all. And then to be stuck with me of all people, I'm not exactly a picnic, am I? Heh."

"Oh Christ! Oh dear, Poppet, you really are sick, ain't you? Lean forward, don't let yourself choke on all that bile. That's it. Catch your breath. I- oh! Jeez- umm, okay there's no need to cry, Poppet, but- would you mind, umm- popping your eye back in. Saying this lovingly, but- it's kind of making dad feel sick.. "

"Don't be scared, Poppet. Whenever me and- body me are separated, all you have to do is stomp your foot as hard as you can, he'll come to you. He and I might be two sides of the same coin, but we both love you more than the world, Poppet. Come 'ere, wrap yourself up, keep warm. Don't want you catching a fever along with- everything else"

His whole world. All he had left. Gone without a trace. Like she never existed. He slowly sunk down onto the edge of the bed, his eyes blankly stared at the floorboards beneath his feet. What reason did he have to hide anymore? All he'd need now was to hear the crunching of the gravel outside beneath horse shoes and he'd give himself up. He'd falsely confess in a heartbeat, accept a death sentence. A rope around the neck would feel like a invitation right now.

He remembered the last time he told her he loved her before she went missing, she'd shrugged, an awkward crease in her brow; must've been weird for her to hear that, but it was true. He meant it. He only hoped she knew he meant it, she isn't here to be reminded. His arm reached to the side, his palm absentmindedly ran across the spot where she'd curl up to go to sleep. Was the room always this cold and quiet?

He'd almost forgotten what it felt like to be lonely, but it flooded back to him in an instant. Wherever you are, Poppet, I hope you and your friend are in a better place than this.

Hello! I saw you reblog a post about wanting more tumblr asks so here I am sending you one!

You wanted someone to ask you about neopets so tell me all about them :]

OMG HIIII TYSM???!!! i honestly wasn't expecting any asks hehehe……

soooo basically i have a whole bunch of neopets ocs and almost all of them live on terror mountain in happy valley!! i made up a school/university called the mountain lodge that they all go to (because on neopets they almost all live in the neolodge onsite ehehe.. it started as just me imagining they were all staying at the same hotel together and then sort of took on a little life of its own <3) at this point i have almost 25 characters and i sort of divide them into little groups, more or less? the main group is made up of the pets i had on my main account, and thats tututykee, cinnabro, wellira, sabrina (the lupe), confetticream, and sabrina5043! they're two different families; Cinna is dating tykee, and wellira is dating sabrina :3 my next other "main" group which currently is actually getting way more attention than that original group is what i affectionately call "the dork polycule" and thats made up of kyohvu, cyvny, lewis, holly, and tsukiyori! they like to play dnd and other dorky games together, and the core of it is made up of kyohvu cyvny and lewis who all have like a betty and veronica thing going on LMAO lewis and cyvny are always fighting over kyohvu, who knows theyre both into him but hasn't really settled one way or another… and ultimately it doesn't really matter because all three of them are basically in a throuple anyway ahahaha the rest of them all have little groups of their own as well but tbh i still haven't really developed them very much!! they're more or less just auxiliary characters for the ones in the two main groups :3 the only real exceptions i think are serlux and rorie!! serlux is an usuki doll that came to life one day along with tsukiyori :D they're basically like the neopets equivalent of barbie and ken, but while tsuki is going to school at the mountain lodge, serlux is adventuring around the world searching for the mad wizard who he believes cursed his owner (along with bringing the two dolls to life). and rorie is a kind of bratty popstar who is pretty good at seeming wholesome and like a boy next door for the cameras but in reality is kind of a tool. his manager is sabrina5043 and they're kind of together?? its kind of complicated hehe. he also attends the mountain lodge, and is on a touring hiatus after a minor scandal caused his label to pull back from him a bit. he's also possibly implicated in a villainous plot to take over neopia?? its unclear but there is a secret agent at the school (bittssy) tailing his every move to learn more hehe

and wow that was a shitload of text sorry!!! i didn't even go into detail on most of those little guys but i hope this was kind of interesting to read anyways!!! thank u again so so much for sending me an ask tehe they take up so much of my brainspace its nice to tell someone else about them!!!

Crashland

(Me venting some feels through my OC. Tw: self harm. Mention of @idiotwithanipad 's oc Amy.)

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

When she was alive, she'd sometimes swell the flesh of her forearm into a speckled red mess by doing this over and over until it became too much or she got bored.

Sat close to her bed, she looks at the stone faces of her gods Artemis and Pan, statues purchased by Alison years ago. When she visits, she gives them a quick clean to remove the wear and dirt from being outside. But they're already beginning to weather, a chip on one of Pan's horns, the ivory of Artemis' beautiful form turning yellow.

Never before has she felt like all she was looking at were molded clumps of clay.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

She'd missed another Christmas. Nothing unusual, she missed most Christmas'. This one had sounded like something special though, at least from how they all wouldn't shut up about it.

Alison's second kid, a boy named Milo, is at what Robin called a Trans Phase. No, not that, and she and Amy had both tried to explain to him that wasn't the right word. But he stuck with it, because it's the time when young eyes are transitioning from toddler to child, and his ability to see them with the Sight varies day to day. This is the age when most kids have imaginary friends, most of whom they don't realise are ghosts.

Of course Milo and Mia were lucky kids who had a parent to confirm who they could see wasn't just in their heads.

Mia can no longer see them but tries to make the effort to talk to them and sometimes act as if she knows where they all are, similar to her dad. Silver thinks she's jealous of Milo and wishes she could comfort her niece to let her know it won't last for her brother either.

All things end. She knows that.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

A picture. That's what caused this. An innocent drawing made by a sweet little boy who just wanted to draw his 'family' at Christmas. All of them gathered in that hotel room. His little fingers had scrawled every one of them from Mrs. B to Robin to Cap to Amy with loving detail. Sure he'd given Cap a rifle for some reason but the soldier didn't mind that. Robin wasn't too happy with his stink lines but Kitty liked how he'd exaggerated the size of her feather so it was bigger than her head.

And Silver...wasn't there. Because Silver slept through the fucking thing. Again.

She can't be mad about it. Can't be upset. It's not fair to expect everyone to change the calender to revolve around her. 'Anyway, you don't even celebrate it! You're always going on about how Christians stole it!'

True. She doesn't care. Stupid capitalism holiday.

Pinch. Dig.

And it's not like she was totally forgotten. Mike filmed the day and she got to watch it on the laptop. It was basically like being there, wasn't it.

She got to watch them cheer as Milo and Mia opened their presents. She got to watch them play their games and people like Thomas and Cap lose their temper when everyone forgot the rules. She got to watch Amy and Robin sniffing around the Cooper's dinner as they ate, Milo laughing and Alison hissing at them to stay back like they were a couple of pets begging for scraps. She got to watch them sing a carol as Mia played the tune on her little keyboard, she's even better than her mum. She got to watch Amy and Kitty open presents from Humphrey and Cap specifically (paid for by Alison but ideas from the older men). Posters, one of Pennywise for Amy and Spice Girls for Kitty.

The footage was Silver's present. A tiny USB stick wrapped in a few inches of paper.

She's sure the gesture was meant to be sweet but how come it leaves her...hollow?

Fucking ungrateful cow. Be thankful that you got to enjoy it in some small way. Remember how much you used to miss before Alison came along or even during? Never did Silver get something to let her see and hear what time had stolen from her.

There had been no camera to capture...that.

"Little'en, stops that, your hair be so pretty." She remembers Mary saying one time when she'd caught her during one of these meltdowns.

Only then it had been Silver's short black locks that were the victim, not her arms.

What did it matter? It always grew back.

Nothing mattered.

Pinch. Dig. Twist. Pinch. Dig. Twist.

That wasn't the point, Mary had said, stilling her hands with far greater strength from her life of toiling the land.

Tears roll down Silver's cheeks as she stares at the Artemis statue, vision blurring, until she can pretend it's Mary's face. Smiling. Still. Eyes empty.

No. No she doesn't want that.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

Kitty has Cap and Pat. Amy has Humphrey. Even Robin has Julian. She used to think she had him but whenever he's not there to wake her, her paranoid and distrusting mind sneers that he's bored of her. That his devotion to her was only out of obligation to his Moonah. Not her. It's never her.

All she has is clay. Silent. Dead eyed.

So she pinches. She digs. She twists.

If Mary were here, a voice in the back of her head reminds her, then it would break her heart to see Silver hurting herself again.

"Then you shouldn't have fucking left me." Silver whispers through gritted teeth, spite coiling in her gut.

That's what they do. They get annoyed. They get bored. They leave. They forget.

Pinch.

The pain is all she has to remind herself that she exists. That she's not just some phantom outside of reality. She's dead. But she's here. Even if she wishes that any gods could be fucking merciful and just take her away now. Whether it to be to wherever Mary is or just dissolve her to nothing. Let it end.

Dig.

The spite simmers as she hopes the Stuart era woman is watching and feels bad for abandoning her. Then Silver hates herself more for wishing pain upon the closest thing she had to a loving mother, even if she no longer exists in this realm. How fucking desperate is she to be cared about?

Twist.

Just for attention. That's what they always said.

Except she always hid her scars. She always cried alone, as she was doing now. It was only when people invaded her space or got closer than she would allow that they would see. Pathetic emo loser.

As her come down reaches its peak, excruciating pain burns in her skull from her permanently scarred brain. Now she tugs at her hair too. She buries her face in the stars and sun pillow on her bed.

She screams. She screams. She screams.

It won't take long until the fire inside has burned out. Not long until the shrooms remaining with her in death begin to stimulate her and turn the world insufferably bright again. Her mask will be repaired and she can return to the group, smiling and singing and typical Silver, their flaky Pagan teen they thankfully only have to endure three nights a month because God could you imagine her all the time?!

That's what Julian had joked once. Joke. He'd emphasised that. And they'd all laughed so yeah, it must have been only that. She'd laughed too. That came with the mask.

Smile. Laugh. Put on a show.

Let no one see the fucked up mess that lies beneath.

Her fingers return to her arm as she waits for her emotions to take control. Not her. There's only one thing she's allowed control of.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

Pinch. Dig. Twist.

Pinch. Dig.

Pinch.

Pinch.

Pinch.

[pinesfamilyguidetotheweird]

There's something I wanted to share, something that kinda saved me from my several burnouts with Cipher's Will.

The existence of Expy characters.

Basically characters that are either loosely or (usually) deliberately based off an already existing character.

I have technically made one already for a Hazbin Hotel fic. I say technically because the character design was not mine, but was shown briefly in the pilot: a hispanic looking demoness who was present during Charlie's interview. I loved her design and decided to make a fic based around her even though she didn't really have...anything to write about. So, I based her off the La Llorona legend with a bit of Blue Diamond in terms of feeling great lament and making other sinners cry in her woe.

When I remembered this, I decided to write characters based on ones that I liked.

I figured if I did this, I'd have a bet more freedom because I felt so much pressure with the crossover characters as I wanted to add basically everything that was connected to that character and it was part of the reason I was burning out.

The beauty of expies to me is to take these characters and kinda give them a new breath of fresh air, especially since they're based off my favs.

I'm not really sure if you can call them OCs...then again, originality is kinda hard to come by.

Plus, I've been wanting something specific and those specifics fit the already existing characters, buuuut...(reasons above). Not only that, but I was gonna be upfront about it anyways, sooo...

Really though, I'd like to use these characters outside of Cipher's Will and I'm gonna do just that.

Rimona Ethon-Jess

She is a singer and supermodel and daughter of a lesbian couple. I've based her on Garnet from Steven Universe. Really, the only differences between these two is Rimona's lack of Gems on her hands, future visions (or rather she might have some level of clairvoyance, just not the level of Garnet), and a third eye (though she does wear a bindi at times for meditative purposes).

She has two adoptive kids, Twig and Molly Westwood.

Yes, those are the names Anne used for her 'Shut In' story. As for the surname, its a reference to Humphrey Westwood (who's basically a human expy of Hop-Pop...shoot, remember the Curator?). Now, whether or not these characters are related is up to you. Twig is set to be Dipper's new friend usually with his return to the Falls (whenever that happens) whereas Molly kinda does her own thing, though she does become a fan of McGucket labs.

Next up is another character based on a character in Steven Universe, Glenn Finnegan.

He's a robotics prodigy from Ireland and a four-limbed amputee. He's also a freelance hacker and a gamer and has built a little robotic companion, plus a few pet plants.

Yet another character based on a Steven Universe character, plus others, Alexei Akoyevich Agapov

A slightly effeminate Russian-Japanese retired ice skater now cafe owner. He has a bit of Pearl's personality and body type and a bit of Fai D Flourite’s personality and fences as a hobby. He lives with his long term boyfriend.

The next character is interesting: Marilyn Rosenstein.

Yes. THAT Marilyn Rosenstein mentioned in Journal 3. I started to generate an idea that Marilyn was already an existing character and just so happens to share a lot in common with Eda (hell, I think Eda is an expy of Ryoko Hakubi), even with how she looked and that's how Eda was able to blend in. Heck, Marilyn also just so happens to be a witch too (albeit of the Earth variety). She lacks a golden tooth and curse, though. Now...Did Stan meet Marilyn first or was it always Eda? You decide!

Similar to Rimona, Marilyn has also two wards, two anthropomorphic wolves named Fenny and Yue.

Fenny is the youngest of the two, being slightly younger than Gideon, and Yue is around the same age as Wendy and her friends. Fenny and Yue aren't related to each other, though Yue was found with Fenny. Fenny is physically similar to King Clawthorne and can be demanding at times and likes to go on adventures. As for Yue, they're like a mix between Loona from Helluva Boss and Amethyst, though a little more on the brooding shy side, similar to Loona.

---------------------------------------

Annnnd, that's about it!

I do have original characters that...I'm not entirely sure if they could be expies too, lol.

Here, let me share a few.

Seiko Habutai

She is shown in the first chapter of Back in the Falls. I kinda wanted her to be almost the opposite of Wendy (more ladylike and proper, the Ojou-Sama, if you will), but that doesn't stop her from getting dirty if she has to be.

Ashe

A dark skinned elf, who is also set to be a friend of Dipper. Speaking of elves, they are different here from what is shown in media. First off, the tribe Ashe is from is kind of a hippie type of group (basically how I would imagine elves could be portrayed in Gravity Falls.) The other is actually something that isn't used often in any media, the elves (or at least Ashe's race) are hollow inside. Like, there is nothing in their bodies. No bones, no organs, no soul. Nothing. ...I'm sure that not a lot of angst will come about this for Ashe...

Professor Esther Ratselgast

She's mentioned in the second chapter of Back in the Falls. She was Ford's Quantum Physics teacher back in college. Somehow still alive despite her advanced age. She's also dressed in clothes that seem out of the Victorian era. She is currently working for a man named Adair Samler. Speaking of...

Adair Samler, the last OC I'm willing to share right now (this has gone on long enough as it is)

He appears to be a middle-aged man with silvery hair and small glasses. He's the current director of the Oregon branch of the ALMA Foundation (GF equivalent of the SCP Foundation. I will say that some of his inspiration is that of Ozpin from RWBY, by being a little bit mysterious.

----------------------------------

And there we have it! Similar with the Expy characters, I'm gonna use these OCs outside of Cipher's Will if they are needed in that story.
