[Part 4]

[kotoku]

not exactly a request, but…

Imagine being a sort of half-blood monster humanoid, perhaps even one of a handful, and spending most of your life feeling as though you don’t belong anywhere, like you just came out wrong and there’s no cure for it...

And then you meet Laios and he absolutely freaking adores you and will not let you forget it.

imagining reader just hiding every single part of their appearance that shows their half-monster side, always walking with their head bowed down in shame. they have experienced so much hate, disgust, and horror to the point they don’t have much mirrors so they can avoid looking at themself. it’s truly sad.

i could see the reader usually spending most of their days down in the floors scavenging for some items that could be sold for money, considering it’s pretty detached from the surface world. maybe the reader is like senshi, who makes the dungeon their makeshift home, navigating the ecosystem and surviving all by themself. i think a floor that may be more deeper or less populated with adventurers is where reader can safely show their more monstrous appearance/self.

and then one fateful day, the reader meets laios. whether its through helping him and his party escape a monster or simply stumbling across them by accident, you’re now bound to his little gang of weirdos. he’d enthusiastically ask if you’d like to join, not knowing your true identity since you immediately sealed yourself away beneath a hood/etc… the reader, who has nothing much going on and figured they could use a change, would join (mostly due to laios’s pestering because you were pretty petrified of these people finding out what you are).

skipping ahead, lets say during a fight your identity was revealed. your appearance shocks the entire party, some feeling a little wary of you (their suspicions were already developing because whatever the situation, you always had that damn hood/cloak on). but nonetheless, they’re accepting. especially a certain blond tall-man who had a undying love for monsters.

ahh, count your days because this man is going to be the death of you. he’s so stunned, happy, fascinated, and angry because why didn’t you tell him !? what do you mean you hated what you are !??! WHY WOULD YOU HIDE SOMETHING AS COOL AS THIS FROM HIM !?!??!

laios is so envious of you, goddamn.

he’ll use every chance he gets to study your anatomy, your biology, your whatever. he’s obsessed. the others are interested too but not as much as laios… often having to wack or chase him away from you when you start feeling overwhelmed.

besides laios’s excited self, the rest of the gang are open to hearing about your insecurities and are a great support system. senshi would like to learn more about you so that he has an idea of your diet and what nutrients you need. chilchuck, a stern fatherly figure to you, would make sure laios isn’t getting too handsy with you. he’s also there to nail it into your head that you arent weird or anything (tough love huh..). marcille, if she doesn’t have any information on your species/monster, would like to learn more about you as well. like chilchuck, she’d be sure to drag laios away when he’s got a little too close and up in your personal space.

one night, you’d explain to laios about your insecurities in detail and your history. he wouldn’t really understand it because you’re so cool ??? but i think he’d get it because he’s been in that kind of situation back in his home town. he may not exactly know what you went through, but at least he’s able to understand and if you let him, he’ll gladly help/support you.

bye, you’d cry from happiness/relief from the party, especially laios’, acceptance.

group hug ensues**

sorry this was so long, it’s a lovely concept and i love just imagining it ^^

"Nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone, liver eater comes crawling home."

ANM #: 126 - "Dog will hunt..."

Danger Level: Darlig 🔴 | Uncontained ❌️

Responsible Researcher: Dr. Öctavio Kalev

Type of Anomaly: Rural, predatory, childlike, humanoid

Confinement: ANM-126 is not to be contained or restrained physically under any circumstances. Due to its anomalous nature and the severe psychological trauma it inflicts on witnesses, direct encounters with ANM-126 should be minimized. If ANM-126 appears in a populated area, elite task force "Infernal Cangaceiros" are authorized to attempt non-lethal deterrence measures using sonic devices and high-intensity lights. If these measures fail, the area must be evacuated immediately.

Description: ANM-126, colloquially known as "Papa Figo", is a male humanoid entity approximately 10 feet in height. Its appearance is characterized by severe malnutrition, extensive tissue degeneration, and various physical deformities caused by starvation and associated diseases (see Addendum 126.1). Notably, ANM-126 possesses a porcelain mask covering its face, with a mouth capable of opening unusually wide (up to 6 times its normal size), despite the surrounding gums being withered and inelastic.

ANM-126 is believed to have originated during the Great Dry of Northeastern Brazil in the early 19th century. It is said to embody the personification of hunger, preying upon the desperation and suffering of those affected by the crisis. ANM-126 primary anomalous effect is its ability to manipulate the health and well-being of those in close proximity, inducing famine and scurvy-like symptoms in order to lure victims.

ANM-126 modus operandi involves stalking and abducting children, typically between the ages of 5 and 12, by carrying them in a large leather sack slung over its shoulder. Once abducted inside the bag, presumed taken to a hiding place, the child's liver is rapidly extracted and consumed by ANM-126. The victim's body is subsequently returned to their parents or caregivers, often as a gruesome "gift" intended to perpetuate the cycle of fear and starvation.

ANM-126 movements and behavior are erratic and unpredictable. It appears to possess sobrenatural agility, allowing it to move with unnatural speed and contort its body in ways defying human anatomy. ANM-126 spine is notably flexible, enabling it to twist and bend in extreme ways, including a quadrupedal gait when necessary.

The entity's presence is often heralded by the chanting of a nursery rhyme: "Nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone, liver eater came rolling home". This recitation seems to serve as a summoning or invocation, amplifying ANM-126 anomalous abilities and drawing it closer to potential prey.

ANM-126 displays a particular affinity for targeting areas where hunger and poverty are rampant. It is speculated that this affinity may be a result of its own existence being tied to the emotional and physical toll of famine.

In addition to its physical manifestations, ANM-126 is said to possess a twisted, almost sadistic sense of humor. It often leaves mocking messages or crude drawings near crime scenes, ridiculing religious beliefs and symbols in a blatant attempt to demoralize victims' families.

Addendum 126.1 - Physical Description:

ANM-126 appearance is characterized by extreme emaciation, with visible bone structures and atrophied muscle tissue. Its skin is dry, leathery, and marred by numerous open sores and lesions. The entity's hair and body fur, if present at all, is sparse and matted.

Notable deformities include:

* Genu recurvatum, allowing ANM-126 to hyperextend its knees

* Marfan syndrome symptoms, including long limbs, arched feet, and a skeletal, almost gaunt appearance

* Partial alopecia universal, leaving patches of bald skin

* Taut, degenerated skin covering exposed bones

* Protuberant cheekbones

* Rotted teeth and sickly gums below down the porcelain mask which does not accommodate the mouth

* A tortuous, abnormally flexible spine enabling ANM-126 to contort and move in unnatural ways

The porcelain mask itself is intricately designed, appearing to be a tampered theater mask. While the mask conceals ANM-126 true features, it seems to be an integral part of the entity's anomalous nature, as attempts to remove or damage it have resulted in severe consequences for the researcher involved (see Incident Report 126-2). The entity is devoid of clothing, wearing only its mask, has no navel, with fur only more visible on the thighs and groin, which is dense enough to cover its organs.

Incident Report 126-2:

Dr. Reno had been conducting experiments aimed at understanding ANM-126 anomalous properties and potential weaknesses. During one such experiment, the doctor ordered an attempted to remove the porcelain mask from ANM-126 face using the force.

Immediately upon contact, ANM-126 body began to twitch and convulse violently. The entity let out a guttural, inhuman scream that shattered windows and exploded devices in the surrounding area. Dr. Reno hands were suddenly engulfed in flames, causing severe burns.

As the doctor fell to the ground, screaming in agony, ANM-126 ripped the mask free from its face with a single, brutal motion. The entity's true visage was revealed to be a mass of festering, necrotic tissue, with sunken eyes glowing an eerie green. In a voice that sounded like the rustling of dry leaves, ANM-126 spoke a single word: "MINE." The entity then vanished without a trace, leaving the medic to succumb to their injuries shortly thereafter.

ANM-126 has demonstrated a sarcastic and ironic behavior toward traditional religions, often using their doctrines and symbols to further his twisted purposes. In his public appearances in the cities of the northeast, the entity would often walk the streets normally, talking to residents and participating in local dances, all with a deceptive and benevolent posture that contrasted with his true underlying evil nature. This strategy allowed ANM-126 to further infiltrate communities, gaining trust and influence while ridiculing and discrediting religious dogma, paving the way for its complete manipulation and subsequent biological contamination.

Addendum 126-3 - Religious Significance:

Preliminary research suggests that ANM-126 may have some connection to Catholicism and Christian iconography, particularly the figure of the Grim Reaper. The entity's porcelain mask bears a striking resemblance to certain depictions of Death in medieval art. This potential link to religious imagery and symbolism warrants further investigation and exploration.

ANM-126 has displayed a peculiar behavior toward religions that emphasize the figure of a savior or messiah, particularly in the Catholic context. In its public interactions, the entity often used elements of Christian doctrine, such as sacred images or symbols, in a distorted and ironic way to promote its objectives. For example, ANM-126 was seen distributing pamphlets with parodic versions of Bible stories, in which Jesus and the apostles were portrayed as ordinary characters involved in mundane and ridiculous situations, losing their moral and spiritual authority.

Furthermore, ANM-126 liked to question the need for an external savior, arguing that salvation comes from within and that humanity itself has the potential to find the right path without divine intervention. These criticisms were especially directed at Catholic beliefs, which give great weight to the figure of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World.

However, ANM-126 appeared to be neutral toward pagan religions that rely on nature worship or practices derived from them. The entity displayed no hostility or intent to discredit these beliefs, likely because they did not fit the mold of a religion that emphasizes a savior figure. Instead, ANM-126 appeared to focus on destabilizing Christian and similar beliefs, using its ability to manipulate memetics and sarcasm to undermine the authority of these religions and pave the way for its own distorting influence.

When ANM-126 encountered individuals who professed Christian beliefs or derived religions, or when these people attempted to react to its presence by invoking their beliefs in some form of defense, the entity reacted with extreme and sadistic violence.

First, ANM-126 begins to physically assault the target with blunt and brutal blows, often using his hands or objects at hand in his surroundings as weapons. After that, the entity focuses on the victim's lower limbs, sadistically breaking their shins and legs until the bones are reduced to fragments.

With the victim's body already mutilated and incapacitated, ANM-126 dragged him to a secluded location and hung him in a position that strongly resembled the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The entity seemed to delight in this final pose, as if symbolizing his victory over the Christian faith and his ability to transcend and subvert religious symbols.

Date: 20/07/18██

Location: Rural town in Northeastern Brazil

Incident Summary: Task Force reported encountering ANM-126 in a remote village. The entity had arrived in the midst of a severe drought, exacerbating the already dire living conditions of the local population.

As the Task Force attempted to evacuate civilians, ANM-126 began to chant the nursery rhyme associated with its appearances. Within minutes, a group of starving children, aged 5-12, emerged from their homes and began to follow the entity. Despite the Task Force best efforts to intervene, ANM-126 managed to abduct three of the children before escaping into the nearby thicket. The remaining children were left traumatized and crying out for their missing siblings.

Event Report - Yellow: "Gift"

Date: [REDACTED]

Location: Rural farmhouse

Event Classification: Standard ANM-126 Behavior

Summary:

On [REDACTED], ANM-126 manifested at a rural farmhouse, delivering the corpse of a young woman identified as a daughter of the family [REDACTED]. The entity had previously communicated with the family via a series of cryptic messages and taunts, hinting at its intention to reunite them with their deceased child.

Upon arrival, ANM-126 presented in a colorful box with a delicate pink bow, the mangled, partially devoured remains of [REDACTED] to her parents, who were visibly shaken by the sight. Despite their horror and distress, the parents, identified as [REDACTED], showed no immediate signs of anomalous behavior or mental deterioration.

However, within 48 hours of receiving the corpse, [REDACTED] began exhibiting increasingly erratic and obsessive behavior towards the body. They became fixated on preparing and consuming parts of the remains, claiming that doing so would allow them to reconnect with their lost daughter on a spiritual level.

As the days passed, [REDACTED]'s mental state rapidly deteriorated, with reports indicating hallucinations, delusional thinking, and a complete breakdown in personal hygiene and grooming standards. Their fixation on the corpse intensified, leading to acts of praise and [REDACTED] in a desperate attempt to incorporate their daughter's essence into themselves.

By 120 hours, both parents had succumbed to complete insanity, with [REDACTED] displaying a ravenous hunger for human flesh, particularly that of their own child. Local authorities were unable to intervene due to the remote location and the parents' aggressive behavior towards outsiders.

Event Report - Orange: "Baptism"

Date: [REDACTED]

Location: Suburban residence

Event Classification: High-Impact ANM-126 Behavior

Summary:

On [REDACTED], ANM-126 launched a surprise attack on a suburban family home, resulting in the deaths of two adults and one child. The entity appeared to target the mother specifically, brutally dismembering and defiling her corpse in a grotesque display.

Prior to the carnage, witnesses reported seeing the entity enter the residence without warning, its presence seemingly accompanied by a low, pulsating hum. Once inside, ANM-126 moved with supernatural speed and ferocity, murdering the father and young daughter in a matter of seconds using its razor-sharp claws.

The mother, [REDACTED], survived initial contact but was subsequently subjected to a horrific death. ANM-126 tore open her abdomen, exposing her internal organs, and proceeded to gouge and mutilate them in a sadistic display. The entity then dragged the mother's mangled body to the bathroom, where it performed a twisted form of baptism, submerging her in the bathtub filled with blood and water.

As the family's screams echoed through the house, witnesses claimed to have seen the remaining members - [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] - enter a trance-like state, their eyes glazing over as if under the entity's hypnotic control. This phenomenon persisted even after the authorities arrived on the scene, leading to concerns about the potential long-term effects of exposure to ANM-126 anomalous influence.

Event Report - Red: "Genocide"

Date: 18██

Location: Maranhão

Event Classification: City Level Catastrophe War

Summary:

ANM-126 unleashed a catastrophic event in a major metropolitan city, resulting in the deaths of approximately ███ thousand civilians and widespread destruction of infrastructure. The entity's actions were characterized by unparalleled brutality, chaos, and seemingly indiscriminate targeting of human life. Papa Figo materialized in the heart of the metropolis, its presence heralded by an ominous, blood-red mist that spread rapidly through the streets.

Eyewitness accounts described the entity as a towering, humanoid figure with skin like raw meat and eyes that burned with an inner fire. Armed with razor-sharp claws and teeth, ANM-126 rampaged through the city, attacking and killing anyone in its path with savage efficiency. The entity's movements seemed to defy the laws of physics, allowing it to cover vast distances in seconds and scale towering structures with ease.

As the massacre unfolded, reports emerged of ANM-126 targeting specific locations, including hospitals, schools, and places of worship. These sites were often the scenes of particularly brutal atrocities, with the entity leaving behind piles of mutilated corpses and evidence of ritualistic defilement.

Despite the best efforts of local authorities and emergency responders, the city descended into chaos and anarchy. Survivors were left to fend for themselves in a desperate struggle for survival, with many resorting to looting, violence, and cannibalism in a bid to stay alive, as with all of this, the anomaly also carried his extreme famine effects with him to the city.

Containment Efforts:

Foxhound was rapidly assembled to address the crisis, with personnel from multiple departments and bases converging on the affected area. Due to the sheer scale of the disaster and the entity's immense power, containment efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.

ANM-126 was last spotted departing the city, leaving behind a scene of unimaginable devastation. The remains of the victims were interred in mass graves, while the city itself has been largely abandoned due to the lingering anomalous effects and the psychological trauma inflicted upon survivors.

In the aftermath of this tragedy, the full extent of ANM-126 capabilities and the potential consequences of its actions have become chillingly clear. All survivors were given amnesiacs and interviewed, and a story involving an earthquake was invented, along with an official pronouncement from the king Dom Pedro II.

Event Report - Black: "Marriage"

Location: Rural Citadel

Event Classification: Memetic-Based Anomalous Influence, Reproductive Contamination, and Xenogenesis

Summary:

ANM-126 orchestrated a memetic takeover of a secluded rural citadel, exploiting the isolated community's reliance on oral tradition and superstition. The entity seamlessly integrated itself into the local culture, manipulating beliefs and behaviors to pave the way for a grotesque series of events culminating in a twisted marriage ceremony.

Initially, ANM-126 infiltrated the citadel by posing as a wandering storyteller, regaling locals with eerie tales and half-truths that gradually altered their perceptions of reality. Over time, the community's worldview became increasingly distorted, with many embracing the entity's dark philosophies as divine wisdom.

As the memetic-based influence solidified, ANM-126 selected a young local girl, [REDACTED], as its chosen vessel for reproduction. The entity manipulated the citadel's leaders into arranging a marriage between [REDACTED] and a fellow child, [REDACTED], in a macabre ceremony that drew inspiration from ancient pagan rituals.

During the wedding feast, guests partook in a communal meal featuring the flesh of sacrificed animals, which had been ritually prepared and served in a manner evocative of human consumption. It is believed that this act of symbolic cannibalism helped to further blur the lines between human and animal, paving the way for ANM-126 ultimate goal.

Following the wedding, [REDACTED] began experiencing a rapid and inexplicable growth spurt, her body transforming into a gestational vessel for the entity's offspring. Nine months later, she gave birth to a brood of parasitic creatures resembling tapeworms, each measuring up to 30 cm in length.

These xenogeneic entities, dubbed "Tapeworm Larvae ANM-126-B," quickly established a symbiotic relationship with the citadel's inhabitants, burrowing into their bodies and manipulating their nervous systems to serve ANM-126 interests. The larvae allowed their hosts to maintain a semblance of normalcy while secretly siphoning off vital resources and influencing their thoughts and actions.

Containment Efforts:

A containment team was dispatched to the citadel, where they discovered the aftermath of the anomalous marriage and the birth of the Tapeworm Larvae. After a tense confrontation with the now-puppeted citizens, the larvae were successfully extracted from their hosts and quarantined for further study. [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], now devoid of their free will, were taken into custody for reeducation and psychological rehabilitation.

In the following months, MOTHRA Institution scientists worked tirelessly to unravel the effects of ANM-126 memetic influence and the xenogeneic biology of the Tapeworm Larvae. Experiments revealed that the larvae could survive outside their human hosts for limited periods, feeding on nutrient-rich fluids and emitting a unique pheromone that facilitated their reattachment to new victims.

Furthermore, analysis of [REDACTED]'s womb after pregnancy indicated that ANM-126 had manipulated her reproductive system, creating an environment conducive to the development of its parasitic offspring. The entity's ability to alter human biology on such a fundamental level raises disturbing questions about its true nature and potential capabilities.

As containment efforts continue, the full implications of this event remain unclear. However, one thing is certain: Papa Figo has demonstrated an unparalleled capacity for memetic manipulation and biological contamination, making it an even more formidable threat to global security and human well-being.

[doctorqueue]

I don’t wanna spend too much time on this 2day but I absolutely want to try and make a full post about this theory at a later time. So if I come off weird it’s cuz I’m tired hsbcrvg, I’m gonna forget if I don’t write it out now tho.

I’m also not at all an expert, just autistic 😎. To quote Raph, “I’m not a scientist but this is absolutely your guilt glands, excreting guiltzimes into your guiltis system☝️😌.”

But basically I, as I’ve said before, am now incredulously familiar with the different Rise turtle species’ anatomy. And over the last month or two I’m becoming increasingly sure of the theory that they aren’t just blood related through Lou Jitsu, but have a little of each others turtle DNA too.

⭐️The biggest undeniable signifier of this is Donnie’s plastron and bridge. It’s of course important that there’s a lot that doesn’t have to be accurate in a stylised completely fictional show like Rise, and especially with mutants.

But man it’s a pretty big plot hole to have this character who’s design and character (as well as story at times) be known as having a softshell because of his species, but give him these key/obvious turtle attributes that said species definitely doesn’t have, he certainly didn’t get a hard and external plastron + bridge from his human side. /nm /gen

Turtles have tons of bones inside their bodies like most animals do, but the shell, bridge and plastron bones are more external, and covered scutes. The skin connects around the two gaps in the front and back.

Softshells still have a hard plate with their spinal cord and [shorter] ribs, but it’s under a leathery “shell” of skin, and they don’t have a solid bridge connection like other turtles. Their bones are absolutely wack bro /pos. Their plastron and the closest thing they have to a bridge are still equivalent to our front ribs, but even more so in that they’re still behind skin [but I don’t think muscle?], and that skin more or less is around their entire body [kind of].

[it’s worth mentioning that in other species they do have lots of nerves and stuff in their shells, they ARE still sensitive, though most likely less. Not too relevant to this but I feel like people have the assumption that their shells are super numb or they can’t feel stuff touching them. They love those shell brushes yo!]

Then there may be extra little details that COULD support this theory as well.

-Donnie being seen going inside his shell twice, once in the lair games and then once in the purple jacket (in the basket of Aprils bike). I’ve always preferred to retcon these, as Softshells cannot go inside their shells at all. But with a harder plastron and bridge ‘outside’ of his skin that connects to where his shell sticks out, it isn’t as impossible as a normal softshell, and of course Mikey and Leo absolutely can and have completely gone in their shells. [tba examples?]

Also snapping turts can’t go inside theirs either, though considering how massive Raph’s limbs are he probably can’t even with Mike and Lee’s DNA influence, not that it’s realistic for any of the ninja turtles to be able to go in their shells LOL.

-Donnie looking like he has small spines/spikes across his spine, even though Spiny softshells don’t have any there, but rather at the top lip of their softshell. Some do on occasion have their spine make bumps visible on their ‘shell’.

Rise, like many 2D handrawn animated things, has quite a few design inconsistencies, but you can usually surmise the most common version of something once you collect enough references. Though ngl I’ve seen a lot of both spiny looking bumps and just wobbly bumps, some with no bumps. But my point is this could be a minor feature from Raph’s Alligator Snapper DNA, unlikely but worth mentioning, plus super cute. [tba example images]

-Raph’s fear stink? I need to do more research on this, but I know that Softshells are actually known to release an odor to scare off others, if I’m remembering correctly. [tba info?]

-Mikey’s shell patterns, when studying Red-eared slider shells, I was so stoked to see the inspiration of Leo’s shell markings, and it looked like Mikey’s also matched his species. That is, until I realised Mike matched with COMMON/EASTERN box turtle shells. Ornate box turtles almost always have these radiating stripes. I’ve personally made my own kind of in between for how I draw him, but it made me realise how maybe it was influenced by Leo’s slider DNA? [tba example images]

-The same Plastron + Bridge argument as Donnie but with Raph. Alligator Snappers def have em, but they cover waaaay less than most turtles do, their bridges are very narrow and their plastron don’t even stick out, or are that thick, it’s pretty interesting. [tba example images]

TURTLE EXPERTS PLEASE CORRECT ME WHERE I’M WRONG AND/OR OFF /POS

I want to add credits for the sources/photos, and more images to this post as I have tooons of reference images, but I’ll just stick to the simple plastron one cuz it’s past midnight and am eepy

[golby-moon]

final thing for @destieldtiyschallenge...I hope. wanted to tie things off by recreating this thing that @phantommermaidqueen made something something going full circle since they redrew one of my things voluntarily in the second round and yeah so on an unrelated note how many pages of somebody's tumblr can you scroll back before it becomes creepy

(no but now I have mermaid flavored ideas that I don't know what to do with uh oh)

((also @casdeans-pie I may steal your bird spn idea for a fic or something at some point (with permission ofc) sorry I don't make the rules)

here's the original picture and all that

the redraw kinda has a different vibe than the original imo and idk I don't really dislike that for whatever reason. also I'm aware that Cas doesn't look too much like a raven (which seems to be kinda just a bigger crow?) and that he looks more like a parrot or something. my bird anatomy is wack and Cas is far more fluffy and huggable than a regular raven if they're anything like crows but I don't think Dean minds at least ,_,

so yeah that's my final thing for this challenge though I could definitely keep going. but I guess I'm done redrawing for the time being. I'm definitely willing to do it again in the future though so uh if somebody wouldn't mind me stealing their ideas and copying and pasting them but with worse proportions...I mean I take requests for free and stuff

shutting up now

my art summary 2023!

these are the pieces that stood out to me the most from each month of 2023! long ramblings about each of them under the cut

january

hororen! this might have been a prompt for the hororen bingo event but I legit forget and the original post was not helpful

february

this was art for an lmk fic by writing god @/pittdpeaches (not gonna be annoying with a tag). it has the most notes of any piece I've ever posted and that's unfortunate because I Do Not Like It That Much.

march

this was the only thing I posted in march. it exists

april

hororen but as that soukoku art everyone loves. this piece is hilarious to me because it showed up in google image search results while I was trying to get someone into bsd and they then tried to find it themselves when I wouldn't show them by googling my full actual name. that was fun

may

I really like how the colours turned out on this one. which is good because I submitted it as one of my art finals 👍

june

and here we see the start of my pressure opacity lineart thing. with my boy lyserg. the line through his hair was probably just a guideline I left in by mistake but I like how it kinda looks like a halo. because the xlaws are just like that

july

magical girl anna! those beads were so annoying oh my god. it's a good thing I never decided to draw anything with detailed repeating links again :) ever :) who would ever subject themselves to that :)

august

this was again the only thing I drew that month, but this time I actually like it! tamajeanne is really underrated they should get more love (still hasn't written that fic)

september

and here my drama and pressure opacity begins in earnest. this is one of my favourite pieces out of everything I made this year it's great. this was also the start of my detailed hair obsession

october

*something shifts in the fabric of the universe* so this is when I got into paralive. if you weren't aware. there's a companion piece to this one but I liked it a lot less so here we are

november

I made a lot of art I liked this month but I chose this one because. it was my favourite. the Other cozmez reflection piece I did got a lot more unhinged tags but I thought the anatomy was wack so it didn't get the spot. this one was fun though I did it in one sitting in the middle of the night

december

this year really saved the best for last because I am. absolutely obsessed with this piece. it's my phone lockscreen right now. and everyone else really liked it too which makes me very very happy

overall trends I noticed in my art from this year:

SHOUJO SPARKLES but mostly in the first half

sketchy pressure opacity lineart (my favourite thing now)

bright colours fuck yeah

glowy circle particles (have been replacing the sparkles lately)

more finished compositions than last year

[blackvahana]

God I think I have an idea but I have no idea if I can verbalise it. Also hope this is OK to reblog, my blog has a tiny audience and this is a very big reply for, you know, replies lmfao

Just to put forth where I'm coming from so that you can get my angle of approach: In my experiences, forms and all manifestations (even physical bodies) are translations of base resonances/(self signature) names/whatever. Like, as a metaphor, how a (literal language) name can be spoken in different accents and come out way differently or you can have nicknames, you speaking yourself into existence in various ways gives rise to multiple forms right? And names and nicknames consist of various parts from the literal letters to the pitch and tone they're pronounced in so through names we get a bunch of different expressions of self...

When it comes to features that don't shift with the form? Taking scars that stay on all forms for an example, that could be less the resonance of a (self signature) name expressing itself and more the dissonance of an intersection of a space and time that is still speaking and still present to the present day. You could get hit real bad by a circumstance, and it throws some part of the name out of wack, the time and space of the traumatic event becomes a scar - the scar isn't really a part of the name expression so much as it's caused by the wave interference of the resonance of the time/place and the name colliding negatively. The body is an expression, the intent of the self is to express the name, but the name is experiencing interference hence: form with scars. And I compare it to interference because it's less that the time and place is literally manifesting and more like how colliding waves affect the waves, the waves of the name are now Interfered With

Another angle: If you have a radio for example playing songs but there's weird talking over it, and every station you tune to has this same talking, the talking probably is coming from something the radio isn't supposed to be picking up or that isn't... part of the radio's intended function. Which. This is all to say, to get to my point: it might be good to try and treat the tattoos as their own signal your radio is picking up, or, like with scars, originating from something that is interfering with the expression? Interfering again like wave interference, not like malicious conscious being interference. I would say that something wants to be expressed, whether it can be personified as Wanting or not, but tracing back the specific sort of name that it has in itself - talking names as just like energy signatures here, vague on purpose - you might find that there's a specific thing that's emitting some kind of metaphorical frequency that's being picked up by forms. It could be an event (see: mentioned apotheosis), a memory, something that's yet to happen, a sort of soul to-do list for lack of a non-tired non-2am description of what I mean, but I would reckon it's.... it's like if projecting a form is pushing rays out in a certain direction, the rays will scatter and our projected form will end up having details we didn't expect as the rays hit off things and bounce into shapes - you know. we get anatomy we didn't plan, or habits and instincts we didn't plan come through - but if something is searing itself on to the form in a way that seems more than just the usual scattering of projected rays it's probably because something else is shining light that happens to be shone on to where we project our forms

Uh. Right. So. basically. The suggested advice is chasing back the rays. The wave example is supposed to invoke physics and maths on purpose, because even if you don't have a signature for the tattoos resonance there should be calculations that can be done mentally to understand the imprint and trace it back to where it came from. Like treating it like it's a sort of branding, you may only feel the heat but you can trace that feeling of heat to a specific geometric pattern, which we can deduce came from a poker and heat, which is held in a hand, as in: even if you don't see what's projecting it there might be some kind of signature to it that smells different to the signatures of the form, and if not... you know how information works outside what people think on this plane, we can sniff out specific causes without having to literally see them. If you can kinda isolate the radio talking from the radio music, isolate the sound of your form from the sound of the tattoos, and then follow the projected lines back, you should be able to find what exactly is being expressed thats turning into that. Basically: there should be some projection, some linear movement that's carving this specific shape into your force of expression and the expression of your selfhood specifically, and either it'll smell like it's from a cause or the shapes it traces will tell you where it came from

When you find that, it should be an expression coming from you, and even if not, if it's intersection with you you should be able to recode it by bending the metaphorical projected light coming from it. Like with scars, if you dig into the coding of the time and place that left the scars you can sorta use metaphorical internal mirrors to move where and how it's projecting. Instead of the scars being caused by a harsh, awful battle that pierced through your soul at this time and place, the projected rays can be moulded and manipulated to emphasise the past element of it, which might just fade the scars but make them more permanent, in which case you can move the projection more towards the event having been something you had control over to sort of... trick the scars into healing because "my body has control over this" type thing

With tattoos, if it's such a hellbent projection, it might be possible to shape the original projection into more of a... uh. idk. Say they're an expression like "I am here, if you know what I am then you know (like being able to decide a tattoos symbolism bc you were informed of it), but I'm being obvious". You could curve the light of that expression into a more "if you know you know - therefore these don't have to be so obvious" and "I'm obvious already, my skin is already marked in the way that my form is my artistic body expression" and so on. Like. That's just to give an example of what I mean.

That's. what I tend to do, seek, sniff, follow maths back, and then curve the light itself, the emanation from the point of interference - uh. I mean. It depends what's causing it like sometimes it is foreign sometimes it's just times and places that have stabbed knives into specific expressions or whatever but. there's always a way back to the point where the interference is occurring - as in the point where self and other are becoming one, intent and rising unintent, and. ah yeah. Overexplaining now because this doesn't map well on to this planes language

Also does anyone have like any tips on.. weird form features????

So you know the like holographic/neon red tattoos on my new form? Yeah they carry onto any form I take on besides. Can't figure out how to prevent that, can't glamour them into non-existence either. Came into existence during deification and have remained since.

Okie Dokers, you furry.

Leib tends to spend a lot of late nights alone in the lab. If you forget to knock, and walk in on him jerking it, then that is on you.

When he does have someone, Leib’s actually a pretty adventerous guy. His artifact lets him send any wounds, bite marks, hickeys away, so it’s one of the few uses his artifact has.

Leib doesn’t do well with small people. He likes to top although polar bears are pretty heavy, he’s also pretty big so you might struggle with the girth size

It’s due to his artifact that Fenrir likes to spend time with Leib. If not for getting rid of kinbaku rope burns, Fenrir to get pretty into it at times, so Leib’s artifact always comes in handy.

Also Fenrir has a thing for bondage to absolutley no ones suprise.

Despite his persoanlity, Fenrir likes to bottom, but if you get him worked up he can make sure you don’t wlak tomorrow.

Fenrir would use Jambavan more often, but Jambavan is almost always away doing something for the Guild Masters.

You’d think Jambavan has a great artifact for getting rough, but it’s dependent on personality, and he’s a shamefull bottom. Granted, if you couldn’t tell that he was a bottom that is also on you.

Cu Sith may be cute, but he’s actually a horrible idea. He’s a screamer and he kills anything that hears him howl 3 times, so unless your either Leib or immortal that’s a bad idea.

In order of size, it goes Jambavan, Cu Sith, Fenrir, Leib, then Alp.

Why is the smallest one the biggest out of all of them? Cause he got all of his anatomy information from doujins, so porportions are all outta wack.

Alp can bottom or top, but he’s going to be rhyming the entire time, so it’s a lot like being a character in the raunchiest Dr.Suess book.

Granted, thanks to his ability to blur the lines between dreams and reality, a slew of fetishes become possible, if that’s really your thing

shotgun [the wilds girls]

the wilds girls x reader

requested: can we get another part of the wilds girls x reader where they go visit her soccer match and everyone is excited but turns out that reader gets into a fight on the field and gets hit in her stomach (the previous one she got in the woods on the island) and the girls are the first one to reach her on the field and try to keep her awake and calm (turns out it is an internal injury after the hit)

*not my gif*

Finally back to normal life.

Your usual soccer games, but now you have a small crowd of friends cheering you on. The girls decided that they would cheer you on for your first game back since the hell-hole you were once in.

“Let’s go Y/N!” Toni yelled.

You passed the ball to your teammate when this girl tripped you out of nowhere. You didn’t even have the ball anymore. And she just tripped you.

“C’mon Y/N! Get up!” Rachel screamed from the sideline.

All of the girls looked at her like she just grew three arms, “You’re not gonna be like one of those parents right? The ones who drives off when their kid starts doing bad?” Leah asked and Toni stifled a laugh.

And then there was another trip from the same exact girl. The other team wasn’t losing too bad, so you really didn’t know what the hell her problem was.

“What the hell is your problem?!” you shouted.

She pushed you, “You are my fucking problem. You think you’re the it girl now that you were stranded on an island. Well news flash no one gives a fuck.”

You didn’t want to get kicked out of the game so you bit your tongue until she tripped you again. The referees were just letting this happen. They didn’t give two shits!

You got back onto your feet, “Oh no” Shelby mumbled as you got dangerously close to the girls face.

Then without a warning the girl shot a punch to your face. You fought her back throwing her onto the ground, getting a few punches in. She flips you over and hits you right in the stomach.

The pain was unbearable.

You were curled up into a ball on the ground, screaming out in pain. The last time you got hit this hard Dot accidentally wacked you with a long stick of wood.

The girls automatically rushed off onto the fields. Your coach looked at the six girls who surrounded you as you continued to scream bloody murder in pain.

Shelby grabbed a hold of your hand, “Hey, hey, hey listen to me you’re gonna okay, okay? I know it hurts right now, but we’re right here. We’re all right here.”

You squeezed her hand tightly and she winced back in pain at how hard you were squeezing, “Okay, okay. A little too hard, love.”

While Shelby was trying to comfort you, Dot was trying to hold Toni back from raining hell on the girl who punched you in the first place.

“Hey, not now!” Dot said, placing her hands on Toni’s shoulders to fight her back.

“Don’t you ever touch her again, do you hear me?!” she threatened.

Leah lifted up your jersey to see if there was any bruising. Only to be met by a rigid stomach and she was no doctor, but she has watched Grey’s Anatomy so she knows that it’s something serious.

“Y/N’s coach, you may want to call an ambulance. I think there might be an internal injury,” Leah mentions and he looks at her skeptically, before ultimately calling them after you let out another scream.

And that’s when everything went dark.

But moments later your eyes fluttered back open. You heard small little beeps and the stench of bleach filled your nose as you started waking up more. There was a couple small weights on the side of your bed and soft snoring.

Your doctor walked by the room and noticed that you were finally up, “Hi,” she whispered, careful not to wake any of the girls, “I told the girls that you were fine and didn’t want to go home, but they insisted they stayed.”

You looked at all of the girls scattered around the room. Shelby had her head down on left of your bed with Dot to your right. Rachel and Leah were curled up into a ball on the little couch as Toni was leaning against the wall. Each of the girls sleeping softly.

“You’re lucky having people who care about you so much,” your doctor chimed in and you smiled back at her.

“Yeah I really am,”

ID: A 3 by 4 tiled square, with each tile containing an artwork I've created in the year 2021. Each artwork is labelled with the month it was made in.

I've decided even if tumblr is shadowbanning all new posts from their tags that I'm just going to post it and re-reblog a few times anyway.

My commentary, for anyone interested:

January: I straight-up spent most of a month working on this drawing alone. I'm still pretty proud of the general vibes and how it came out in the end, but I learned that I should really, really work on composition. A lot of working with this one was figuring out how the figures would balance with each other, the fire, and the trees. It still turned out well, but I could've spent a lot less time working on it if it weren't for that. February: I also drew some rwby that month (it seems so long since we've gotten any new RWBY episodes which isn't a knock on the crew, but a knock on the passage of time), but I decided to drop my picture of Voe here. I feel like I need to use Luke's Jedi Temple Grounds as a background at least once a year, and also, Voe! Fun fact: the twitter crop cut off right at where the water begins in the slightly uncensored version, hence the hastily-added bandeau to make it clear that it wasn't a blatantly nsfw art. March: I was feeling stagnant about my art (when am I not, recently?) so I did a screenshot redraw again, and though it was loose and sketchy, I really enjoyed the vibes of this one—I think it was the catalyst that pushed me into finally buying a new paint program that was a bit beefier than medibang paint. The reception on this one was also fantastic compared to the usual Eighth Brother art, so I think people just like screenshot redraws haha. April: Pyreny!!!! I've been shipping this pretty much since Pyre and Tierny glanced in each other's directions on Star Wars: Resistance, so I decided to finally put a piece of finished art to it. I really love how this one came out, and it might even be my favorite of the year. Once again, composition is key, and I was worried I had too much negative space in the bg, but the window took care of that. Also, this is one of the first times I've done a full interior background and I really love how it turned out. Also, Sumalee Montano thought it was cool, which is a pretty big plus and ego boost.  May: Is it really a year if I don't do something for a long-dead fandom? Anyway, it was nice to take a crack at John and Christopher again and some good old fashioned repressed gay romance. June: This was a fun art month for me—work was less busy and I had inspiration in spades since I'd just gotten a new paint program. There are a few solid contenders from this month, but the vibes of this one could not be beat. Also, it's nice to draw something for inquisitors who get less attention. Also, I'd forgotten how proportions worked for this and the next month? References were my lifeline. July: This one's simple (save the anatomy and perspective practice) but I like it and it looks like other people liked it too.  August: I threw this together for Remembering Resistance week in about a day since I had no inspiration up until that point. The proportions are sort of wack, but it turned out cute and okay all things considered. I have to throw this one in as an honorable mention, but I really did not want three inquisitor ones in a row, so.  September: Sometimes you just want to draw your ship kissing but not spend an entire month on it. Also, I remember about once a year that I enjoy two-toned art so this was fun. Once again, the effort piece of the month was an inquisitor but five in a row would've been ridiculous, so pyreny it is.  October: This is where the year got busy, and time (and inspiration) to draw was a precious thing. I really enjoy this one though, so I'm glad that I got to draw one good thing that month. This was the year of referencing poses, and I think that this one produced a quality product. Also, fun fact. I've drawn Eighth many times, but his armor is still a pain in the ass every time you try to draw it from a new position. November: This month was rough, buddy, but at least I drew Luke's Jedi. December: Also a rough month. Low on art inspiration, and though I've done a few sketches, no finished product. This one that I've posted is the closest I've gotten, and it's a bit of a self-indulgent sketch, so no post here.  Ultimately,

the end goal for 2022 is to dedicate more time for/have more time to do art. Have more inspiration. If my motivation isn't to draw fanart, to draw original stuff. To branch out. To work on my linework. To draw more ocs. To draw more star wars. To draw more stuff that's not star wars. I just want to draw.

[asmo-ds]

Ok so I was gonna draw Demon! Luke falling into Lucifer's arms but that was too hard so I did this instead.

Anatomy is wack and also hard to draw but I tried :')

I also feel like Luke's demon outfit would be reminiscent of Simeon's outfit.

May have forgotten Luke's wings until an hour in so,,,

But I hope you like it!!

OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHH

HOLY S H IT ITS LITERALLY SO GOOD IM IN LOVE
