soooo i built up toyhouse profiles for my school AU may and drew to archive their art n info about them, so i don’t forget (i’m forgetful) and besides when you’ve got a lovely code for them profiles can look SO lovely i swear to god. and i’m really serious about these two
so for making mays profile i actually had to think about what the school is called where they’re going to, where may used to live, and where she moved to, sexuality and such.. huge thanks to blossyossyossy for giving me the idea to make her pan,, it actually fits SO MUCH
code used is ROOT BLOOM by starcorex <3 they did such a lovely job
and here’s the profile for in the folder about the AU!!
code by de0xys, all art included in these r by me :3
if u wanna view these yourselves, here u go
folder • may • drew
(please have toyhouse on dark mode or else it’ll look ass)

Quick introduction to help break the ice. I’m Morrigan 29 yo Butch Trans Woman. On hrt since Feb 2023. Love storytelling both written and visual (Art, Books, Manga, Video Games, etc). I also write and draw myself.
Lifting heavy things for fun and so I won’t fall apart. I will princess carry you if you ask nicely.
Other Blogs:
ArtisticlySpicyScribbler (previously ScribblersShadowlandsArc I did url switcheroo) - remade it to be a repository for my more risky photos. No need to follow this blog, I repost everything on main anyway.
ArtsyScribbler is my art and writing archive for convenience of keeping them tidy.
Now you know me a little bit, so let’s get to the meat of things. This blog is adult themed. It exists as an outlet for exploration of my gender identity and sexuality and some other similar things.
There will be occasional memes and sfwish reblogs and posts.
Biting, pawing, scratching and other ways to show attention or affection when reblog\comment on my photos are appreciated
| Minor pls Do Not Interact. I understand you are interested in this stuff, but I could get in trouble because of you, and I rather not. |
I’m a bisexual t4t both, sapphic, enby. I lean significantly to femme presenting people. But I love me some hot mascs too.
Switch and verse.
Polyam? I figuring this one out since I started transition. But I think I am. For now at least in a way that I will be okay not to be a single partner for my loved one. But not sure that I'll be able manage more then one romantic connection.
For subs who wanna message me. I’m not that experienced domme in a sense of kink, so I may fumble a bit, but hey we are here to have some fun, so I hope it won't be a big deal for you.
For dommes, I have like 0 experience of being sub. But um Hiii?
Titles that work for me so far: ma’am, miss, mommy. List may grow. No masculine titles pls
Oh, by the way. I have a demi-human sona, soooo I guess I qualify as furry, not kitten or a puppy (although I may respond for that) but more of a dragon lineage. I still figure out this part of me, so this section is under construction.
DM’s and asks are open. If we are not mutuals it’s better to ask first before writing something spicy in my DM’s. Mutuals don’t be shy to write to me, I am not scary.
List of kinks - that will definitely grow [ + as domme, - as sub, & for both ]:
Petplay&, intox&?, bondage&, praise&, cnc&, scent&, pain&, breeding - (not sure for +), nursing&, breath play&
Tags: scribbler’s asks, scribbler’s rumbles, scribbler’s pics, scribblers writing
If something is unlisted I either am not sure about it yet and was too lazy to add or it’s no go and I was too lazy to add it. So probably ask before go full throttle on unlisted stuff with me.

Soooo I just realized I never did an introduction thingy here, whoops, soooo I'll do that now.
Hiya! I'm Irccumon, but I go by Ren a bunch too. I like doing art stuff even if I'm not a master artist and I've been busy so I can't do it all the time. My interests atm are The Magnus Archives/Protocol, Welcome Home, and a bunch of other stuff. I like talking about my ocs, and right now my main topic of ocs is The American Fear buddies, which are 16 individual characters that My friend and I made and designed together, especially now that it feels like world is kinda in shambles. I appreciate it when people are nice and stuff and I love interactions with people, even if I don't wanna share personal info. Thank you for checking me out, feel free to send asks about anything you feel like (about me or any ocs I've shown or mentioned or other stuff) and I will do my best to answer and stuff! I'm sorry if I forget sometimes, I have adhd and it makes stuff kinda hard :')
I hope you all have a nice day! :D

hi, just wanna tell you ur agere connor art is soooo cute !!!! i lov him to bits :3 also wanna let you know tho just in case you havent noticed that the LEDs go on the other side of their forehead hehe. oh also, do you have a link to your dbh fic? id love to read it!!!
!!! Oh I think you’re right! My silly brain struggles a lot with left and right 😭 here’s the link to said fic! It’s under my super old username from 2018 and I wrote it back when I was like 16 so I’m afraid it may be cringe now hahaha. I had a bit of following on it and I feel bad for leaving all the readers from years ago unfinished. Typical ao3 author lore where you leave a fic unfinished bc *insert ao3 tragic story* happens
WHAT WHEN LOOKING FOR THE LINK I JUST REALISED THIS THING HAS NEARLY 20,000 HITS I HAVE NOT CHECKED ON IT IN A LONG TIME

Righty so ive been seeing your lifesteal art for a while and I made the decision at the immaculate hour of 12:14 at night to watch it, but I’ve got no clue how to start. Do you have any recommendations of who to watch/where to start/where to watch it etc. and also what it’s about, that would be swell too.
thanks! :]
IM LATE ANON SORRY ABT THAT uhmmmmm. so the lifesteal smp is a server where if you die you loose a permanent heart off your health bar and if you kill someone you gain a heart (hence the stealing part). think, life series if seasons went on for months. alliances are made, broken, treasured, people are killed. all the good stuff.
starting lifesteal smp can be a little overwhelming because theres so many people but you just gotta choose a pov and run with it. also keep in mind that it doesnt have life series/hermitcraft style of progression as the episodes are more like highlights of what happens in the server. i would recommend starting with the season 3 videos since imo its the easiest season to start with. my personal pov recommendations are here
princezam: hes silly reddoons: hes awesome rekrap: hes also awesome vitalasy: hes also silly clownpierce: hes a clown who can kill people
sometimes content creators wont have their videos organized, but theres playlists out there that compile videos from each season
most livestreams post season 3 are archived too in case you eventually wanna watch those, because sometimes theres lore sprinkled in there(very time consuming though). season 5 started a bit ago and most members to my knowledge are finished with their season 4 videos, so you can also start with those too if you want. season 2 is also good (i started there!!)
also just a side note but members put so much effort into yt vids and thats why sometimes theyll take a while to come out. editing in some of these videos go SOOOO HARD OHHHGH MY GODDD(thinking roshambogames)
lifesteal smp comes FREE with EVERY DISEASE!!!!
I HOPE THIS WAS SOMEWHAT HELPFUL:D SORRY FOR LONG POST

Welcome to my blog everyone!

My main fixations are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Harry Potter, Danny Phantom, Murder Drones, Undertale stuff and Scissor Seven! I also like writing, but it takes me a while, so bear with me, I promise I'm writing, but I cannot promise on release dates for chapters or fics in general! I am on A03, and my name is Yami's Arts!!
Here's my link!:
I will also be posting about my Undertale AU called AngelTale AU that I'll be renaming The Angel's Tale, mostly because I don't wanna mix it up with the actual AngelTale, and I wanted it close enough to resemble my story, soooo... The Angel's Tale it is!!
Just a Disclaimer for my AU: I do not own the actual names of Ink, Error, Nightmare, Dream, Gaster, Chara or Frisk.
Another note: You do NOT have to understand Undertale in order to understand my AU!!! It's not set up like normal Undertale!!! Everything will get explained!!!
Each of these characters belong to:
Ink: @comyet
Nightmare and Dream: @jokublog
Error: @loverofpiggies
Gaster, Frisk, Chara: @tobyfox (I'm hoping this is the correct blog, please let me know if it isn't!!)
If any info has changed on these blogs, please let me know as well! I want to make sure I credit the correct people and make sure I credit them properly!!

Just wanna apologize that this pinned post isn’t anything like, decorative? (Haha past me I laugh in your face I just added that☝️behold my beloved!) I just don’t have any fancy things and don’t feel like looking for them. (But I will add things I came across that I like lmao) Don’t expect my normal posts, if I start writing imagines, to be anything special that way either.
Alright this is becoming a very discombobulated pinned post but- know that while I don’t want to label this as an nsfw blog, I am not afraid to reblog or like things. Okay? Okay.
Was struggling with it for a while but now I know I’m not comfy sharing Fuyu. Sooo…yeah.
Not that anyone will talk to me but if ya decide to plz don’t mention any Fuyu ships besides Kuzusouda or Kuzuhina. Only very mildly ok with Hajime as well. Kaz is Kaz so he’s fine lol.
OKAY- so Kaz is an f/o too now!! I AM JUSTIFIED IN MY DISLIKE OF HIS SHIPS AHH!! Time to change this post a little!
I have no fucking idea if he’s romantic or platonic or something in-between. Ideally I’d just like to be a Kuzusouda sandwich but it’s STILL odd to ship myself romantically with him….but that’s what I’d like soooo it’s really weird. Idk.
YOU SAY ONE FUCKING WORD TO ME ABOUT SOUDAM OR SOUDANIDAI OR SOUINA OR SOUMAEDA I SWEAR I WILL CUT YOU-
I’m sorry but I’ll genuinely puke or cry so don’t. Please. Otherwise I am mildly okay with Hajime, Ibuki, Mahiru, Mikan, Chihiro. Whether or not I’m comfy sharing Kaz is very up in the air. I am aware of a few other ppl who share him as an f/o…but I just don’t know like a lot of other things. Recently tho I realized the deep love I do have for him, outside of kin feels. So yeah he is….something to me lol.
Alright so last thing- DNI stuff. OKAY- so normally I wouldn’t like telling you not to interact (unless you’re gonna be a dick) but there’s a certain thing I have to ask of you now. Please please please for the love of god DNI if you also ship with Fuyuhiko. He is legitimately the love of my life rn and I don’t need your art with him or anything else shoved in my face thanks.
STILL know tho that I align/agree with most basic DNIs. I just very much believe in agreeing to disagree and being able to civilly talk with each other, okay?
I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL ART NOW-
By @ponyuyu !!! Go check them out!
Random Ao3 link for posterity:
What the hell here’s my Spotify too! :
#but uh yeah Fuyu is all mine and we’re taking life one day at a time#f/o stuff#Kaz just over here lurking in the corner not knowing what to do lol

old mgs post archive
ok no one cares but i made an mgs fan account to spare all my mutuals from my mgs spam. i also wanna talk about mgs soooo bad ):
i also went through my old reblogs and have started archiving mgs posts from 2012-13... i already have 200+ posts worth of mgs content from 9 years ago, and months more of content queued up! There might be some ‘rare’, unearthed art to be found on there.
If you want to know how the fandom was like back then, or if you wanna feel nostalgic, it’s all on there. I’ve tagged the posts as best as I can! (maybe mute “balloon snake” in advance before diving in there lol)

ok wait after u sent me that ask i have to know ur top books!!! dw if u don't feel like it but i would love to hear them 🌷
This is so sweet and considerate! Thank you Eva, you gave me 5 so I’ll try to keep it to that # as well 💖🐰 off the top of my head:
🌷 The Stormlight Archive series, especially the second book, Words of Radiance. Stormlight is like 4 books + 2 novellas right now, and is projected to be 10 books and ???novellas eventually. And on top of that each main book is 1000+ pages and while you can read Stormlight on its own, most of the other books by the author, Brandon Sanderson, are part of this larger fictional universe called the cosmere. Each series takes place on a different planet, and if you are invested in the whole cosmere, there’s Easter egg references to other series in other series. So like! While I rec these books often, most people understandably don’t take me up on it wgshshh 🤭 Sanderson’s non-Stormlight books are all MUCH shorter but also much more flawed imo. Like I wouldn’t count him among my favorite authors were it not for Stormlight. anyway I’m a die hard fantasy fan so the length didn’t deter me, and I picked these up because a friend told me the world building in these books was genuinely unique instead of the typical very lazy maps composed of like. Fantasy Russia and its hostile mysterious neighbors Fantasy General East Asia and Fantasy Africa lol. and she was right! The world building is exquisite and refreshing and almost every character is canonically of color. They live in a society with an eye color based caste system and it’s.., so hard to sum up this massive series with four main characters and a ridiculous(ly fun) amount of plot lines, so I’ll cut this short and say 1) the first book, The Way of Kings, is highly expository but the ending is so so worth it, and if you enjoy the ending you’ll find merit in continuing with the series 2) Words of Radiance is my favorite book so far partially because I haven’t read the newest, Rhythm of War, yet, and also because it’s the book with the most scenes that solidified Kaladin Stormblessed (one of the main characters) as one of my favorites of all time. Another one of the best things about this series is how Brandon Sanderson portrays mental health in very natural ways, and it makes Kaladin’s growth so incredibly soothing to follow (I MEAN. He has low points that sometimes hit too close to home, but it makes you root for him harder) he really is just. Truly my definition of a hero, if we wanna get cheesy about it, and I had to pick one solid example. I love him so much this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg as to why 😭!
🌷Jane Eyre. Silly frivolous teenaged girl that I am this book swept me off my feet when I first read it and I condone every problematic aspect of it❤️ (I DONT ofc but like! I love drama and being played like a fiddle by narratives and the book delivered on both fronts! And it couldn’t have without its unsavory plot twist soooo 😙💖) (the hate this book and especially one specific character gets is funny to me just because like. Hate for the former (imo) usually stems from people taking the book too seriously while simultaneously missing the point (JE and du Maurier’s Rebecca (highly influenced by the former) are oft considered loose Bluebeard retellings for a reasonnnn!) and hate for the latter is usually just like. Warranted and then taken over the top like... he’s just a fake funny little man you guys :( and the book would’ve been boring if he wasn’t so twisted and out of touch and passionate ): not to mention I do personally in a mean ish way think it’s funny how for some people this character is one of the worst examples of men they can imagine. Like good for Them! I don’t want them to have lower standards for horribleness in people But also omg 🤭 it just reminds me of how... irony of all ironies, I’m semi frequently told I’m too harsh on real life men and then when I love twisted ones in books (for being funny and entertaining and good solid characters) I like. get the most interesting side eyes (whether figurative or literal) bwjswnhshe anyway I have nothing against Austen, I definitely enjoy her, but from what I’ve read so far, I prefer the Brontës a lot more... I need adventure! Show me horror show me rot etc etc❤️ also I’m. A stupid sucker so the fact that the book was Charlotte Brontë’s attempt to write a plain looking lady protagonist and to make her praiseworthy and virtuous and worthy of spellbinding romance makes me... 💗💓💕
🌷Keturah and Lord Death — Martine Leavitt. I haven’t seen it officially stated anywhere but to me it’s p clear this book is a retelling of/highly inspired by Godfather Death (the Grimm tale) Very simple, predictable but effective plot, and the characters are just. So much fun. From my url you can probably tell I love stories in which women (or anyone but you know. Death and the Maiden is its own trope for a reason) outsmart/face off against death. If they also k*ss, when done right, I think that’s swell as well.
🌷A Thousand Splendid Suns — Khalid Hosseini. By far the heaviest book I will mention in this ask, and I don’t rec it willy nilly for that and a few other reasons. It’s a forever fave to me because I read it at the exact right time in my life, where I was like... noticing a ton of things irl and things at home were tumultuous, and when I saw very similar things unfold in this book while I was being silenced and made to feel crazy by the adults around me, it meant so much to me to see reality as I was experiencing it in real time reflected back at me via this novel. The context of the story is wildly different from my own life and the stakes the characters face are far higher, and it is if I remember right mostly a novel about the horrors of war, which isn’t something I pretend to have any firsthand experience with, but! It was legitimately cathartic to read when I read it, and it especially meant a lot to me at the time that the author was a grown man. Not to mention how my mother is not and never has been a reader, and somehow the one and only book I ever managed to get her to read was this. Hilariously she got mad at me for only (“only”) reading depressing things (there’s... a grain of truth to that but she doesn’t need to know! 🤫) but also... she was hooked I could tell! (I got all tmi explaining this one gag I’m so sorry)
🌷A Slight Trick of the Mind — Mitch Cullin. Retirement-era Holmes! Holmes as an old man! A sad old man who keeps bees!! It’s the novel the movie Mr. Holmes was based off of (haven’t seen it yet) and I was not expecting it to get me all sentimental like it did 🤨😪 but anyway it’s like. A prolonged character study and explores some of the most interesting (to me, anyway) parts of Holmes that are only lightly touched upon in canon, like his occasionally huge follies when navigating his few close relationships and how he copes with them afterwards, his fatigue at the random injustice of the world, how he’s often mistaken both by characters that surround him and people irl as a man without feelings, etc etc. like there’s no Dr. Watson or Mrs. Hudson in this book, and the people he interacts with are almost entirely original characters, but as I listened to the audiobook it barely occurred to me to miss Watson and Hudson (I know! 😦) and the author’s original characters interacted with Holmes so believably that I sometimes forgot they weren’t ever Doyle’s. Def recommend to any flexible Holmes fan that’s not a total stickler for canon (though you don’t actually have to know much about Holmes to read this book and enjoy it! 🐝)
🌷Sleepless — Sarah Vaughn + Leila del Luca. I began with the longest book, so let me end with the shortest. It’s a 2 volume long graphic novel series and that it’s so short is the only long standing, legitimate complaint I have of it! Gorgeous art, really effectively written romance, a dark skinned girl who gets to be the proactive, lively protagonist and stunning, pined after love interest at the same time, a cast of characters that is majority of color, the perfect %-age of drama and angst etc etc. if you can find it via your library or online or smth, you can knock it out in one sitting and leave the experience eternally altered in the funnest way 👁👄👁
Honorable mentions: The Botany of Desire — Michael Pollan, Troubling Love — Elena Ferrante, The Girl from the Garden — Parnaz Foroutan
