Kyle as a boyfriend is reeeeaaall nice.
He's a recon guy, he does his research. First few dates he says enough to keep the conversation going but he's focused on listening, watching, observing.
He sees how you eat, how you talk, how you walk, fuck he's cataloging how you sit. And he's comprehending what you say, actively filing things away. All these little gold nuggets of info.
So that when date 3 or 4 comes around youre left stuttering and bashful as all hell because you've never had a guy put in so much fucking effort? Like:
You need him to be direct? "I'm looking for something long-term, marriage - preferably within 2 years but I can be flexible. Do you wanna talk about how you feel regarding children and see if we align?"
Want him to show that he thinks of you even ehen you arent around? "Hey I'm back, I know you like the pubs wings so I grabbed you a box, had to fight the boys off it."
Want him to pull his weight and be an active equal partner? "Hey I just finished grabbing the groceries, I grabbed stuff for a new recipe - did you want me to grab anything special on my way out?" Or "Hey hand me any cups you've got I'm about to do the dishes, let me finish that and I'll seperate my clothes so you can do the laundry."
He's just...so fucking capable and genuinely wants the relationship to work and be successful. He takes pride in keeping a happy home and an even happier significant other.
Yall have long talks about the distance and strain his job causes. Very good with check-ins to make sure you aren't feeling neglected and he's not feeling lonely or overly stressed.
Communication and observation KING.
And he's loving!! He's a forhead kisses, gotta be touching you at night, walks on the outside of the sidewalk kinda guy! He'll link pinkies while yall walk, randomly lean over to kiss you "cause I(he) wanted to" with the cutest little smile. Sets up photoshoots for holidays and special events so he can have pictures of the two of yall (sends his family Christmas cards of yall).
Pet names include: love, baby, sweetheart, doll
#kyle gaz garrick#kyle garrick#gaz x reader#hes just#real shit??#out if all the 141 if they were all real i genuinely think youd have the best relationship with him#i really do#like if they poof suddenly exsist irl hes your best bet#i think soap would be second and ghost and price dead last LMAO#listen price would be a gentleman but when i say hes married to his work - i do mean that#ghost is the same in that regard and i also think he has a hard time turning ghost off#like genuinely dude probably doesnt know how to be a person - hes comfortable being a ghost

trick or treat
#haikyuu#my art#doodle#hinata#natsu#i needed to draw natsu in yotsuba pumpkin costume#someone pointed out the alliteration of pirate and pumpkin and the tags and that was completely unintentional on my part#i was like oh cool but it probably doesnt work in japanese#but it turns out pirate is KAizoku and pumpkin is KAbocha so it still works!!#funny little coincidence this pleases me greatly#though idk if itd be just pumpkin in katakana instead of kabocha but im running with it

she’s like if the virgin mary smoked a pack of pall malls every day 🚬
#sims 4#the sims community#simblr#ts4#sims 4 edit#mysims#drawing/editing these tears took actual years off my life#editing this in general did but the tears were my hell#her name is norma jean named after her grandmother but she goes by either jeanie or jj#she works at the local convenience store and bartends at night when shes able to pick up shifts#shes the worst bartender in existence and refuses to lift anything over 2 pounds#she once convinced a customer to buy her a sweater because she looked a little cold while working#she lied and said her manager never lets them turn on the heat and casually mentioned pennys was selling her favorite sweater#and then described in detail exactly where the sweater was in the store#all she had to do was blink her big brown eyes and call them baby a few times and they immediately folded#she goes to church 7 days a week even though she hates it because that's what she did when her mom was still alive#and its one of the few things that helps her feel close to her mom#her mom died after she had to drop out of highschool to take care of her#she holds a lot of resentment for having to give up such a big part of her life#but at the same time blames herself for not being able to make her mom better#she doesnt believe in banks and hides money around her house to store it but she's also super forgetful#she'll randomly find money around the house and then treat herself like it was present she meant to leave for her future self#she loves crosswords but treats it like a fun game and refuses to check if her answers are ever right#there's ur fun little facts about jeanie 🫵🏼

theyre holding hands……(and being shy about it)
hootsie and gricko doodles (mostly hootsie)
both requested by @nicohasperished !
#i ignored the ‘gators cant blush’ thing for the previous request#but i didnt ignore it this time (for the people who like it that way <3)#ngl really proud of how the gideons and kremys hands turned out#honestly i want to make a little ‘how i draw the krew’ thing with things like hands#something about gideons hands being square-ish and kremys being sharp and triangular is so satisfying to me#coalecroux#kremy lecroux#gideon coal#kremy x gideon#i looovee hootsie sm#glad i finally got around to drawing her!!#gricko being a dad >>>#not to get deep or anything#but i think gricko tries to be as present for and as invested in hootsie as humanly (goblinly?) possible because of his dad#who was completely absent to the point where he didn’t even know his name or face or even existence#and since his mom had to work a lot to make ends meet and put food on the table#he knows what it feels like to be a little kid and feel isolated or neglected#of course he had his mom and uncle glorbo but i doubt they were there for him during the majority of his childhood#he doesnt want hootsie to grow up like that#them <3#gricko grimgrin#hootsie grimgrin#once upon a witchlight#legends of avantris#my art#ouaw fanart#ouaw

Happy post-Halloween :)!!! They’re making jack-o-lanterns <3
#wof#starflight#clay#sunny#tsunami#glory#or maybe now they’re just discarding them#either way I’ve imagined Tsunami has always had a hard time with any carving & intricate detail work - it never turns out how she wants it#to and just gets frustrated - so she has fun just beating the shit outta a pumpkin every year#Sunny is p good with carving small details & carving in general but doesnt find it Fun & has always liked the look of Tsunami’s chewed up#pumpkins so now the two just beat up their pumpkins Together <3#the other three are supportive in their own ways about it#BUT YAAAY HAPPY LATE HALLOWEEN EVERYPONY#one day ill finished some wof art head in hands . that comic about clay & kestrel will get finished one day#art#tideart

Day 23: Pearls Crown Jewel
#rain world#rainworld#rwartmonth#rw art month#was originally brown. rapidly learned i do not work well with browns. it is no longer brown#Also its not really clear thats the ID drone but it turns out it also looks bad when its the only thing obviously at a different angle so#whatever. anyway i like to think the scavengers just thought it was a really cool shiny thing like a pearl#also the scavenger chief doesnt have the mark of communication here cause i like to think the only reason it got that#was because pebbles couldnt blow it up due to the citizen drone#so they were trying to be like “please stop fucking around” and it Did Not Work#anyway i dont think i really did this prompt 'well' but im going to be busy tomorrow so ah well!!!!

i absolutely adore that photo of ben and i just had to draw him (/cap) like that
#ik it's the same since bsn is in costume and everything but i just felt like this is cap#idk if it makes sense#also im aware that i wasnt able to capture the essence of that photo but well i cant do anything about it now#im not quite satisfied with how it turned out#i really have to work on backgrounds and shading and stuff#but this is part of the process yk#so enjoy#also#why did i chose something that is so hard to draw#like the shadows there are so strong since he's sitting in front of really light window and it just doesnt look right#bbc ghosts captain#bbc ghosts#bbc ghosts fanart#the captain#moi is arting

My comic is so pretty...
The hiatus is letting me take a little extra time on these episodes, and I'm definitely putting it to good use!!!
#almost done with my 8th episode... which will give me. two weeks. of buffer...#id really like at LEAST a month... but to be more comfortable id like two#which means 2-6 more episodes before I come back!#I've got about 7 weeks so its possible. but i do still have to finish book 4#so much to do ..........#I decided for my next comic im doing 3 updates a month.#having 10 days instead of 7 to make an episode is such a huge huge huge difference...#difference in quality and in my health!#anyways the comic is really pretty im really happy with the work im doing rn#the environments especially. im getting to spend a nice amount of time on them and theyre turning out so nicely#its nice to be able to write with a lot of different environments and not have to redo panels when I get to them cause of time#cause every time theres a wild angle? you need a new background...#so sometimes. often actually. there just isnt the time to make the backgrounds for those and i have to make them more flat...#which is fine. it doesnt really affect anything narratively. but. idk. it's kinda sad right?#anyways yeah! 10 days will be much better.#36 episodes a year is about what ive been uploading with my hiatuses on the weekly schedule anyways!#so might as well cut out that super stressful middleman and just commit to that#52 a year is just such a huge difference and i have to accept its not possible to me#i will hurt myself trying to do that. and i want to make comics my whole life!#so i cant push myself that hard now and sacrifice my future. we're gonna go slower after this...#anyways yeah cant wait to come back but also time. if I could get an extra week like a secret one just for me#where theres no chores no nothin just me and my work#thatd be great! so go ahead and do what you gotta do to give me a little pocket dimension#me: ugh i want to return right now...#the more logical me: NO we need the time to finish everything!!!!!! NOT right now!!!!#time and time again#ttawebcomic#comic panels#hiatus stuff#adam and steve

i have this fic series i'm still working on where mihawk sort of becomes rayleigh's kid and spends ages 11-17ish on the oro jackson.
shanks and buggy imprint on him (bugs considers him a sort of older brother figure/sparring inspiration and shanks has a crush that eventually turns into full-blown love) and this is how i imagine they're like on the day mihawk sets off on his own haha.
#fic recs#dracule mihawk#akataka#mishanks#buggy#buggy the clown#shanks#akagami no shanks#red haired shanks#one piece#one piece fanart#op fanart#clearly my workaround to 'i should be working on my deadlines instead of doodling mishanks' is to finger-draw on my phone instead#on the plus side i'll never be tempted to go and fully render what was supposed to be a sketch#on the minus side i'm wondering if drawing with my finger takes up the same amount of time anyways.........#smh#anyways in this au i have this part planned where after shankd and buggy get into a fight over the chop chop#shanks comes crying to mihawk all devastated and annoyed and mihawk who is 16 and absolutely doesnt want to deal with a crying 12 year old#decides to fix things himself by showing buggy the pros of his devil fruit via forceful and incredibly harrowing sparring session LOL.#makes him see right away how much of a boon it is to never be able to get cut by a blade. it turns into an actually fun sesh#'cuz mihawk starts enjoying the challenge and the creativity and control and buggy starts wielding his knives in flying hands.#ends with mihawk berating him on how he treats his brother and how mihawk never wants to have to deal with shanks like that again#and also lowkey encouraging buggy by saying he's a resourceful kid and he's got people if he cant do things himself.#at this point in time shanks kind of wants mihawk to be his knight in shining armour so he's happy to hear what mihawk did#but mihawk is Fully Over bunking with two 12 year olds. ray please can he just set out on his own now. he's done it before. come on.#he is not a babysitter!!!!!!#tho these fics will focus mostly on hawk & ray jsyk#i digress

Day 8/October 8: Curses || Empty Titles || "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
ik its late and its more of a concept sketch that anything anyways but like. do you understand the vision. was he ever called a general or am i imagining things
#dont look for symbolism i havent brainrotted about season 5 in forever#not my best work its kinda shitty i def could have done better with the whole like. layout business but whatever i did this in like 2 hours#the reason general is an empty title is cause obviously she was using him to like come back to life or whatever right#so the title general means nothing to her. she doesnt care about him#yeah#hes never had a real#identity?? title?? hes been operating under 'green ninja' and then under 'general' for who knows how long#and then both titles turned out to be useless#you get it#i came up with her design on the spot i dunno its supposed to be hair in the background#kinda mimicking her weird ass tentacles#when i say shitpost morrotober i mean SHITPOST#morro ninjago#morrotober 2024#jellos scribbles#thatsall im doing

his work motto prolly hhhhf (the "fuck amygdala, fuck azai" silently swings in his tone)
#saran; watching his baby project gone to shit after his death thanks to azai: fuck this and fuck that and fuck you specially#the true founder/boss decides on his own and he chooses mercy!! no more report punishments!!!!#amygdala stuff#also shows azai and saran many differences even if its just azais will being acted out through the ppl working for him right there#(the superior wanting vika to rewrite the entire report again and again and again)#azai who believes in strict punishments to get what he wants as fast as possible and make the ppl “below him” pay for their mistakes;#pay for not being what he wants (like saran had to pay with his life)#vs saran who believes in gentle discipline without pressure on the mind or body or putting himself in a higher position of power#his usual approach is to help vika without interfering or doing the work for him so he gets to learn and do things his own but#right there hes doing vikas punishment bc he doesnt see the purpose of it. it only leads to vika making more mistakes out of mental fatigue#the only purpose is to humiliate him and punish him for things he has little to no control over#in a bigger sense; saran wont allow azai to shape vika into something HE wants with punishments and force#wip#tbd#this turned into such a ramble oof

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

always wondered what STC would've been like if instead of just making Eggman evil on a single event, it kinda jumbled his brain a lot and make him have brief moments of lucidity as Kintobor. give him the ice king treatment ya know
#jo.art#sonic the hedgehog#which would give a reason as to why sonic doesnt just straight up kill eggman#not that he would i think#hes like 15#and would give some sort of drive to keep fighting eggman#in the hopes of maybe 'this time we'll de-jumble' his brain'#plus i dont like the concept of AI holo-kintobor#kintobor should be a sort of dead figure#holo ovi over there takes away from ovi becoming eggy#anyway.#i have so many notes on how id reboot the stc comics#SPECIALLY with SA2 in mind#just as a note#in the last few pannels ovi is looking at his reflection#but like. has no fucking clue whats going on#he doesnt know he turned into eggman and sonic is asking if hes himself? absolutely bananas#but also hes the kinda of dude to try to hold his shit to not scare the kid (sonic) so hes playing like things are kinda under control#what im trying to say is that kintobor is kinda of a dad and is trying to not freak out his son#doesnt work out tho this situation is fucked#and ive given up drawing properly in the last few pannels im sure you can tell#fleetway#sonic the comic

people act like tommy leaving the date is the worst crime to ever exist and forget that buck is a whole ass adult who can take care of himself
#yeah he's coming to terms with who he is / his identity etc etc#but tommy isn't responsible for that#he hardly knows buck#tommy has his own peace to protect and if he doesnt want to be involved with someone who doesn't understand their feelings yet then he is -#100% within his right to do that#it doesn't make him some awful human being#it makes him an emotionally mature adult who is looking after his own wellbeing and in turn looking after bucks#don't think people realise that tommy giving buck some space to breathe by leaving the date and EXPLAINING to buck why he is leaving#was actually the catalyst for buck speaking to maddie and eddie and thus beginning to work things out for himself#but alas#i forget that a large portion of “fans” don't know how to behave like adults#and have blinkers on when it comes to buck and what they want to see#it's giving uwu little bi baby buck needs to be babied#no babes he's an adult#yes it's rough coming out / figuring out your sexuality in later life of course#but he is also an adult and has a large support network around him#he's okay girls#911#bucktommy
