I kinda slayed today, ngl

[choleracamp]

the tendency to soften the "l" at the end when translating (especially names) is not entirely clear to me too tbh :(

literally the easiest serotonin in the last few months

[skeletinmoss]

Hiii merry christmas! I hope the thing that had you busy last week went ok. Can i ask for a dark phoenix Janus design pretty please?

I did finish my school year, yes. I'm free now. Also can't you let a guy relax for a day. I was planning on drawing it today anyway :ь

Also I don't celebrate Christmas, but if you do Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you'll like the new chapter

[wingedsandwichexpert]

i have an unfinished headcanon that 1999 guys have their abilities based on their traumas/fears or something like that. yeah it might sound not very logical but let me be okay!! also we don't know much about their past so why not

amir: probably was too late to save his family/loved one or something like that. or maybe had a limited mobility

arthur: wanted to become stronger to protect people? maybe failed to save someone because he was too weak (or he think it was a reason and in reality it wasn't his fault)

leticia: i can't remember but i think she was a medic before? just wanted more power to help people. maaaybe lost her patient but this is a normal thing for med staff ig

eleanor: since she's a journalist she probably wanted to "dive" inside people's minds to know the truth. maybe there was something sad connected to this but i don't have an idea here lol. maybe something about false accusations? idk

quincy: i think it's obvious that it is something about his mom but i also dont have an idea here :ь

aoi: ran out of good ideas lol. maybe someone was crushed in front of her eyes or something like that?

anyway maybe you have a good ideas? bc i really like this headcanon lol

[ukroplol]

Hi! I'm a Ukrop! :Ь I draw all sorts of thing

Actually, I started a tumblr just to post this hehe. This is a fan character on the Ramshackle, her name is Krome (I myself do not know where the stress falls in this name). I also drew it on several screenshots from Ramshackle, It was fun :D

@zeddyzi hope ya see this!

(sorry, bad eng, I used a translator to write this lmao)

[mandarixn2]

How did you get the idea to create havoc Sans?.

And!,you draw look amazing>:)

I have 🥧 for you!,have good day!

oh, thanks for the question!

oh, the idea came spontaneously. it was somewhere in the middle of january 2022. i often have bursts of inspiration, and then i thought: "what cool idea can i come up with for the new Sans? ..." and i thought of the apocalypse, chaos in the underground, where only sans survived (sorry, i fell under the influence of Sans fans. at the moment there are two more characters besides him). at first i thought out more sans than the main story, but later the main story too.

in the initial ideas i imagined him as vulnerable and whiny (oh shi–), but i realized that HE is literally a classic SANS, and why the hell is he a crybaby then?! although I still think that he doesn't look like classic Sans 🤔 (well, he's after the apocalypse :Ь)

I've changed his design many times, and I don't know yet if it's good enough or not.

I can't say the exact date of his "birth", maybe earlier than January 28, because my first drawing with him was drawn on January 28 (before I looked at the date, I thought that his birthday was somewhere in February, ehhehe)

but in principle, you can consider that his birthday is January 28 :D

I've moved away from the question a little, oh... well, a year and a half later I came up with H!Flowey, then H!Frisk and H!Chara, but they are not as well written as H!Sans.

Havoc's drawings from the very first to the last:

maybe not all

interesting fact: Havoc was previously called Glitch (it also fits), but since this name was already taken, I changed it after a long time :33 (I like Havoc more ehehe)

!(sorry if the translation is incorrect)!

and thanks for the pie!

Yay, a new materpost

I love it here

(This is just a place- holder btw, there will be more interesting stuff sometime)

TMNT - ACCOUNT (Also my only account)

I‘ll just post my art here, along with some other stuff

Edit, a.k.a the actual reason why I created this post:

I am literally, unironically and totally seriously BEGGING y‘all for TMNT art suggestions, no matter if rise, 2012, mm, etc, just ANYTHING, pls I need to practice and I need content

Thx 💜

Tc3st DNI, GTFO and never come back, thank you

Okay so… I was gone for a (far too) long time, with my TMNT hyperfixation also left my motivation/ ability to draw. Now that both have returned, I can happily continue my life again, happy chuckle

I started working on my TMNT Au again, I’ve said that many times already but… anyway, I’m working on it :Ь

After a year of thinking about it I can say that I am closer to opening comissions since a few people seem to have wanted that, but I don‘t promise anything yet <3 Still thx to everyone who was interested in it, it made me extremely happy

(If anyone of you steps over my old Masterpost you can just ignore it, it‘s hiding from me and I can‘t delete it lmao)

About your Danyas and Tyomas

Hi, it’s almost 2 am and I have a flight in like, 9 hours, which means it’s time for pedantic linguistic musings. Specifically I’d like to share some fun info about Russian phonetics (which I’ve stated many times are really weird) and how that relates to the diminutive names that you can give to Russian characters (including these stupid pathologic characters that live in my head rent free)

As a final preamble I want to point out that this isn’t a critique on the English only speakers within the fandom. I love y’all and you are awesome. However, Russian is it’s own language with distinctive phonetics and notations, and the English language is a bit too… Not limited, but different, and it does not convey Russian words and names properly, especially in notation (don’t get me started on how “Tycheek” is actually pronounced in Russian). And since I’m also here to bridge the gap between languages while also trying not to completely Englishize and Americanize my existence… I’ve decided to talk about the dreaded Russian “y-” vowels.

The Russian language has 10 vowels, which are:

а (“ah” sound, but shorter)

o (“oh” sound but without the “h”)

у (“oo” sound but can be as short as you’d like”)

э (“eh” or like the “e” in the word “ten”)

и (“ee” sound, also can be as short as you’d like)

ы (uhhhhhh… Best I can describe it is the sound you make when you get punched in the stomach)

And that’s it! Here’s the part where you go “wait, tumblr user screemnch, that’s only 6 vowels! Why are you lying to me?” The thing is tho, that I am not lying to you. The other 4 vowels “е”, “ё”, “ю”, and “я” are what I can only describe as “composite vowels” as in vowels that are made up of those I’ve already told you about and the awesome letter “й” (which has the same sound as the “y” in “yes”).

The vowel “e” is comprised of “й” and “э” to make a “yeh” sound.

The vowel “ё” is comprised of “й” and “о” to make a “yoh” sound.

The vowel “ю” is comprised of “й” and “у” to make a “you” sound.

The vowel “я” is comprised of “й” and “а” to make a “yah” sound.

With me so far?

The names we’re looking at today are Daniil (Даниил) and Artemy (Артемий), for which people have elected to use the diminutives of Danya (Даня) and Tyoma (Тёма). Based off of what I explained just now, this makes sense phonetically (and I’ll bet my money that it was my fellow Russian speakers that told y’all about them). HOWEVER. Do not be fooled, do not be deceived. Because Russian phonetic laws get even weirder.

The phonetics I’ve illustrated for you make sense in particular instances. Mainly, when a “composite vowel” is the letter in the very beginning of the word (such as the last name of the Russian actor Oleg Yankovsky. The letter “Я” being in the front makes the “yah” sound).

The other instance is when the “composite vowel” is prefaced with either the soft (ь) or hard (ъ) sign, such is the Russian spelling of cognac (коньяк). These signs have no sound of their own, but provide a kind of separation that allows these “composite vowels” to sounds as I described.

Are you ready for the curveball? It happens when a “composite vowel” is prefaced with a consonant. See, almost all Russian consonants have a “hard” and “soft” versions. It’s a very slight phonemic difference that is difficult to catch if you hadn’t been hearing Russian since childhood (cuz that’s how learning how to distinguish phonemes works. You’re most fine-tuned to the phonemes of the language you were surrounded by as a kid) and is difficult to explain. But I will attempt to.

When you say the word “no” the consonant “n” is a hard one. If you were to use the “soft” version while trying to say “no”, it’d sound a but closer to how you say “gnocchi”.

When you say… Ugh, ok, when you say “nya~” the consonant “n” is a soft one. If you attempted to use the “hard” version while trying to say “nya~” it’d sound more like “nah”.

And that’s what happens in the Russian language. The presence of a regular vowel (except for “и”) dictates that the consonant prior to it is a “hard” one. The presence of a “composite vowel” in turn swallows the “й” (y-) sound in return for softening the prior consonant. Consonants can be soft in other instances. Idk if I’ve actually done it in my analyses when attempting to write phonetics, but you may have seen me use an apostrophe after some letters. I got it in my head some long time ago that that’s how you indicate soft consonants when writing in English, and it’s too late to stop now.

So, if the “й” (y-) sound gets swallowed by the prior consonant, all we get to hear is the “-а” although it sounds like a “я”. So let’s try saying “nya~” the Russian way.

You’d start as if you were trying to say “nya~” how you would in English, but stop short before you actually open your mouth. Substitute the “ya” with an “a” or “ah” sound. The softer “n” sound will alter the vowel, creating (hopefully) the authentic, Russian “ня”.

So, when, for example, saying the name Даня you would apply the same logic. The “y-” sound gets swallowed up by the softened “n”. Same for Тёма. The softer “t” (like in “tea”) swallows up the “y-” sound.

And yes, I’m aware that there isn’t much one can do when writing down names using English letters. But I also don’t really want the whimsical and weird Russian pronunciation to go unappreciated. It’s my language, dangit, it’s worth learning.

Also, I’d encourage you to explore some more fun Russian diminutives. With the names we explored alone you can get the actual Russian nicknames of Данечька (“Danech’ka” using the “-ech’ka/ochka” suffix) and Артёмка (“Artyomka” using the “-ka” suffix).

This concludes today’s linguistic ramblings (and totally not secret propaganda to get people to learn Russian.)

hi! I love your art and everything but I’m kind of desperate right now. Do you remember that one account on tiktok that made edits about TMC? Their account name was toonbriel something. And I remember you know them because they said they don’t support you while using your art in an edit and you made a comment that you didn’t do anything wrong something something.

anyways, do you know what happened to them? D: I’ve been trying to find their account on tiktok and everywhere but I can’t find it DD:

(also I apologize if you’re uncomfortable about me asking you this-)

hello, yes, I remember this situation, but it was a long time ago :) Don't worry about it, thanks for your question :ь

I also don’t know what’s wrong with him

Soft Sign (ь) vs Hard Sign (ъ): Russian

If you’re anything like me (a beginner grasping at straws trying to learn Russian) then the soft vs hard sign concept is very foreign to you. The signs are not sounds of their own— they are clues telling you how to pronounce the consonant that precedes it. Here is a quick overview of soft vs hard signs:

Soft Sign (ь)

When ь is present after a consonant, this is your indication to palatalize the sound (aka soften). The middle of the tongue should rise toward the roof the the mouth.

Example: стиль - style, фильм - film

Hard Sign (ъ)

When ъ is present after a consonant, this indicates a slight break or pause in the word where the hard sign is located.

Example: объект - object

If anyone has any further resources for this, it would be greatly appreciated! I understand the concept of this, but not entirely grasping the pronunciation. Any YouTube videos or audio lessons would be very helpful! Also feel free to comment more tips for me on this topic!

Welcome to my vore blog:3

I didn’t do it right away, and there were probably reasons for that.

I draw safe vore, but there are also moments of hard vore in which you can see a not very pleasant scene with blood. I don’t have enough energy for full-fledged art, so I prefer sketching.

The characters I draw vore with are usually friends, but their characters are like predators. I can do it my way, but I’m too lazy :ь

I'm from Russia, so I use a translator a little🤏🤏🤏...I'm 19, I love kiwi... they're delicious hehe...

I'm always not against vore trade! You can suggest in the comments or in PM. There we can further discuss what and how, but usually I give it as the person who proposed the trade wants. You and I are pleased to receive the drawing. Unfortunately, I don’t take commissions if you are not from Russia...sorry in advance :(

It's me:)

I prefer to be prey, safe vore, non-lethal🥺

My characters for vore

Prey:

-Me

Well, I. that's all. There’s not much more prey beyond that, and if there is, they’re already busy with friends

Predators:

-Igwen (His reference is being prepared, Safe vore)

-Miron (Igven's relative, capable of both Safe Vore and Hard Vore)

-Briers (with him only Hard vore)

-Collapsar, you haven’t seen it yet because I didn’t draw with it vore

eeeeeek ! i loved your headcannons for my ask about john wick and goth gf reader ! he’d be such a supportive boyfriend and i Need him to help me take off my makeup (i fall asleep in it constantly how did you know)

i wanna take him to the goth clubbbb and then drain his blood :ь (i’m so normal about him)

ps… can i pls be 🦇anon ?

i’m cackling this came up when i searched for a goth club and imagine john there standing like 🧍🏻‍♀️

you would literally have to tell him not to stare that much cuz people would think he is judging them, but he is just so curious and adorable. he is fascinated by everyone. he wants to have conversations but is too shy.

also!! would totally let you sit on his lap on a random couch, his hands on your thighs while you kiss him, occasionally biting his neck and he is like. yippie!! vampire gf :3

Я хедю что Вон(ь) имеет самое худшее зрение -10, просто он 24/7 носит линзы А так же у него нету лицензии чтобы ездить на Сайклозавре. Он просто уежает от полиции когда его спрашивают на счет нее

Translation: I headcanon that Von has the worst vision -10 and he just wears contacts 24/7. He also doesn't have a license to ride cyclizar. He just runs away from the police when they ask him about it.

LOL EXACTLY. I probably can imagine him slamming into a wall while running away from the police because he forgot to put on his lenses

I would also like to draw him in a big ass nerd glasses so here we go

Who let him ride cyclizar anyway?

[koiwolv]

Hello, genshin fanfiction fandom. Russian Russian I want to say that if you write fan fiction based on fatui, using the Russian language or Russian names/words. Please check the gender of the word (in Russian, words are divided into masculine, feminine and neuter gender, there is no neutral gender).

for example:

Name Anton/Andrey are male names, and it is wrong to use them in fanfiction in a neutral character/os name. Since the name is masculine and denotes a man.

There are exceptions such as:

Sasha/Alexander and Zhenya/Evgeny, Slava/Vladislav(a), who can be both female and male.

Many female names have the letter "A" at the end, which refers them to the definition of the person who committed the action as a woman.

It's the same if you decide to use some kind of verb-based (action) sentence: "(...) сделал(А) пирог из яблок!" [(...) made an apple pie!]

In Russian, the neuter gender of the words "they" and "them" differs from English. It points to a group of people, not to one person, as well as to an object (something inanimate) For example: «Миша и Маша сегодня сделал(И) очень много ежевичного сока». [Misha and Masha did it today a lot of blackberry juice]

Also a small reminder:

To understand what kind of action to write and indicate the gender:

Male — й, -ь, -а, -я

Female — а, -я, -ь

Middle gender — о, -е. -мя, -и

Also, if you want to use Russian language in your story, you can use Yandex Translator, it will understand what you mean and write it the way you need it.

P.S. you can also write to me with a question, if you have any difficulties with the Russian language in fanfiction, I will help you translate it so that it looks very good.

Fallow me, die you see, fallow me, dare di, die with me,

Die you see, fallow me, dare di, die with me...

A little mock preface about how the drawing was created:

Brain: Let's SELECT THEIR TORSO???

Me: But that's against their design….

Brain: FOR EXPERIMENT

Me: OK

What was all that about… Because while I was working, I had the idea of marking some body contours :D

But that's not really important right now!

K-HM! @drowsynelapsi / @nighttbound , you're a big man now! You have grown both physically and morally, and as before you make me admire your creations! (I'm still monitoring your art, it's unrealistically energizing and inspiring with its atmosphere and I think it's great, it's wonderful, and I don't know what other words to put in here, except it's DIVINE (!!!))

Seeing how you put a lot of effort into your regular life, watching you hyper-fixate on certain pieces and just thinking posts, experiencing the highlights of your life with you is worth a lot. Even though I sometimes don't have time to read everything, I find it a great outlet and it feels good. I could add many more words about what a titan you are, not a person, and how cool you are as a cultural person, and that it stirs brains and turns them over like meat in a meat grinder (in a good way!) every time, and it's fucking great, but… I've said it all, I guess :D

I think we can move on to the wishes! The most important thing is, of course, good good health, and you will have it for sure! And also, that your friends will support you (and surely they will return all borrowed money to within a percent :ь), that all affairs will go uphill and your salary will be good! Well, after all, the most INCREDIBLE AND ENTERTAINMENT: THAT ALL THE GREAT EVILS AND CHARACTERS YOU LOVE HAVE EVERYTHING IN YOUR CAKE, and that everybody DANCED ON TOP OF IT WITH CANDLES!!!

Hehe, there :>

Well, actually, in conclusion I would like to say that I am very glad for every your progress in all branches and spheres of life, after all, these are also important stages of life, giving great experience! Don't give up, stay determined, and be confident in your deeds (UwU)

And finally… Hold Sanguis in the palms of your hands, or he'll burn down the nearest village ;DD
