there are things that you don't do for a year or more and pick up just right where you left off and these days i fear loving you might be one of them
#double meaning on that but. yeah.#it's like. i haven't touched the imaging software i use for an entire year. soldering iron in decades. pick it right back up. to my surpris#muscle memory is crazy#i don't draw for months and pick up right where i was with a few sketches bc the work you put in stays even when you don't actively practic#when it's something you've practiced weekly and daily it sticks with you and ig that's good#but then it's like. the horrors. that haunt you. yk? what if a part of me will always save a soft spot for my ex. what then.#what if I'm fine now and I'm doing okay and i don't miss it and I think i'm okay moving forward and i see her and suddenly I'm on the floor#what if some part of me that was in love never really went away what if i haven't managed to kill all of it yet#bc i genuinely would not know what to do. i. i don't want to admit it but one of my worst fears is liking someone who doesn't like you back#and what's even more horrifying is if it's obvious. if everyone can tell. and usually I'm good at hiding it! (not really) but it's just. id#it's shame in liking someone who you tell yourself you don't want to like and you know you shouldn't. and not having control over it.#hoping praying that either she does something that turns the little switch in my head that sends her into the unforgivable category#or that i become straight. or that i become straight. mhm. yep. or ig the other option is i get a crush on someone new but like. mm.#i kinda have gotten w every person I've had a crush on since hs and i kinda don't think im ready for another rs so soon.#the baggage i just got is. hm. idk i kinda don't wanna unpack it. it's something that can easily be done if i had the missing pieces but.#i don't think I'm ever gonna get them. so. instead I'm gonna take. maybe another 3 months or 5 months or a year or a few. to just. slowly.#idek. it's just triggering old things. bringing me back to when i was 14. i never really got closure from that either. it took me 3 years.#I'm sure this time it'll go away faster but idk experiencing it a second time has a different feel to it. idk. it's weird.#it's like. idk. it's like you're watching it happen and you're not even there anymore. idk. i really don't know.#oh. I've been dissociating.#idk maybe it's for the best i really don't know i really don't know and everyone says i have to do what's best for myself but idk what is#my life is on track things are moving forward I'm doing better and healing but i can't escape the feeling of dread#something is going to catch up with me sooner or later and idk what it is idk at what intensity and idk if i will be ready for it#but anyway. when you love someone intentionally every day for a while. when does it go away? will it go away?#or will i have to live haunted by ppl who are alive but changed. so practically dead w/o the opportunity to mourn. for the rest of my life?#like i don't think i get it. loving this person was like. cooking and eating. intentional. ingrained into everyday life. effortful.#what if my mind does forget but my body still remembers. what then. what if it's like searching for sth you don't remember having anymore#ig I'm just trying to figure out how much to forget these days. how much won't hurt if it all comes back to haunt me#delete later

TIA <3
Tumblr media
Not So Secret.
carmen berzatto x female reader
warnings - cursing.
written for my 5k celebration- post here, masterlist here, inbox here.
Tumblr media
ā€œYouā€™re gonna stare a hole through her fuckinā€™ head.ā€
ā€œShut up.ā€
Richie laughs, following Carmens eyeline to where itā€™s fixed on you.
Youā€™re stood in the restaurant with Sydney, both of you giggling at something sheā€™s showing you on her phone. When you look up, you smile at Carmy, all soft and sweet and like butter wouldnā€™t melt. He almost melts, a puddle of yearning on the kitchen floor.
Sugar appears next to the two of you, holding out a piece of paper.
ā€œThis is a really rough draft of what we kind of want them to look like. Obviously you have full control, but this is kind of the vibe?ā€
When Carmen mentioned wanting a more personal touch on the menus, Sydney quickly offered your services. Youā€™re the most artistic person she knows, gifted with naturally gorgeous handwriting that almost looks like calligraphy. Plus, she knows how much everyone at The Bear likes you, having been a part of their transformation. Itā€™s a win - win.
ā€œYeah, I get you. So you want the title words like Dessert in more of a cursive, and then the actual dishes and descriptions in a typeface?ā€
ā€œYes! Do your thing. We trust you.ā€
She gives you a side hug, careful not to hit you with her bump.
ā€œIā€™m gonna need some nice paper, and probably a new calligraphy pen so I can start from scratch. Iā€™m gonna head to the craft store, and Iā€™ll be back.ā€
ā€œCarmy will go with you!ā€
Richie shouts it from the doorway, where heā€™s been not so subtly watching the conversation. Carmy blushes, clearly caught off guard.
ā€œHe needs to go to the craft store too, right Cousin? Good. Go. Bye!ā€
Carmyā€™s practically being pushed out the door, uncomfortable and flustered. You smile reassuringly, grabbing your bag and walking over to your car.
ā€œYouā€™re okay with me driving?ā€
ā€œCourse. Shouldnā€™t I be?ā€
You laugh, and he canā€™t help but grin, the sound settling nicely into his ribcage to warm him up.
ā€œIā€™m a good driver, I promise. Despite what Sydney might say.ā€
He looks worried but gets in anyway, ever trusting you and anything you do.
He canā€™t help but sneak glances at you as you drive. Youā€™re completely focused on the road in front, bottom lip pulled between your teeth as you concentrate. Carmy feels heat bloom across his chest at the action, wishing he could reach out and release it for you before you draw blood.
A text chimes through the air, startling you both. You press the button on your steering wheel so your car can read the message out loud.
From Sydney: Carmy. Tell her immediately or Iā€™ll lock you in the walk in freezer. Sick of you acting like a lovesick puppy. This is your chance. Donā€™t blow it, asshole. Weā€™re all tired.
Both of you freeze, your hands tightening on the wheel. Carmy wants to throw himself out of the moving car, but decides against it at the last minute.
You pull the car into the craft store parking lot, choosing a space and yanking the handbrake on. You turn to him, looking at him for the first time since the bombshell.
Heā€™s blushed all over, chest heaving and bottom lip pulled between his teeth. You almost want to reach out and release it for him, before he draws blood.
ā€œCarmy.ā€
ā€œI think, uh, yeah, I just - that was clearly sent to the wrong person. Not meant for you.ā€
You laugh, suddenly, and it spooks Carmy so much that he jumps out of his skin.
ā€œYeah, Carm. That I figured.ā€
He laughs with you then, unsure and nervous. You reach out and place a hand on his knee, trying to calm him down. It just makes his heart lurch.
ā€œWhatā€™s Syd talking about? Tell me what?ā€
He looks down at his lap, hands knotted together.
ā€œI think you know.ā€
ā€œWanna hear you say it,ā€ you whisper.
He finds the courage to meet your gaze, taking a deep breath.
ā€œI like you. So much. I canā€™t stop talking about you to anyone and everyone thatā€™ll listen - to the point that everyone at The Bear gives me so much shit for it. Sydney wonā€™t get off my back, either. She says Iā€™m ā€˜yearningā€™.ā€
You chuckle, rubbing patterns into the material of his jeans with your thumb.
ā€œTheyā€™ve all made bets,ā€ he continues, ā€œabout if Iā€™ll ever tell you or not.ā€
ā€œWho bet on you? And who against?ā€
ā€œSyd and Richie against me. Marcus too. Tina and Sugar are on my side. Not sure why.ā€
ā€œWanna make Tina and Sugar some money?ā€
He quirks a brow questioningly, eyes going wide when you lean over the centre console and plant your hands on either side of his face. Youā€™re so close to him that your breaths tangle together, one set of lungs working overtime.
ā€œKiss me, Carm.ā€
He doesnā€™t think twice, closing the gap and pressing his lips to yours. You tangle your fingers in his hair, trying to pull him impossibly closer. His hands find your back, tugging you into him as much as the limited space allows.
You whine when he bites at your lip gently, and he has to pull away to take a steadying breath before he passes out.
ā€œYou should get your eyes checked.ā€
He tries to process for a moment.
ā€œHuh?ā€
ā€œYou must be blind if you canā€™t see how much I like you, Carm. How much Iā€™ve always liked you.ā€
He grins at you, bright and white, and you shake your head before leaning in to kiss him again.
When you donā€™t make it back into the restaurant that day, everyone has never been happier to not see the both you.

RAHHH a drawing of all the sillies currently occupying my brain right now. Funny thing is!! My last LN related drawing was posted almost exactly a year ago!! how funny! Close-ups and yapping under the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm running on 3 hrs of sleep bc i stayed up till 5am to make this and then i had a neurologist appt at 8 so!!! (i got officially diagnosed with adhd or add we win, i already forgot which one he said but i get my meds tmrw!!) I might take a nap after this im so exhausted. ANYWAYS.!!! i love. flowey and clover friendship no one start yelling at me abt how flowey didnt care!!! theyre best friends to me!!!! and it works out as im a clover kinnie nd floweys been my comfort character for years now. we win. I don't think monsters really had binders at first (dont use bandages btw guys, dont be like Starlo was!!11) I think the first time one fell into the trash dump or wtvr someone picked it up and then once figuring out its uses just!! boom!! business!! figuring out how to safely make more and!!! finding ways to accommodate certain monsters with different body types!! esp with the spikes and such. Ceroba def helped Starlo out with his bandages often before they were able to get him a binder. the one where clovers drawing is !! an idea of revived!clover or clover staying in the underground in hiding. Martlet got him that shirt :)) and obv the bell earring is from Ceroba. sorry to all my cotl followers i STILL have no colored the 5 body refs of both narinder and lambert. I picked the colors here on a whim so uhmmm it's not official!!! not yet anyways!! i do like what i used for Narinders fur tho, so that might stay idk yet i hte coloring BNJKNKSD i colored this whole thing on a wild impulse.. thus staying up all night. I think clover would really enjoy waterfall if they were ever able to visit it after or during the whole soul thing. It's peaceful and beautiful and also one of my fav areas in base game sooo :) i missed my LN kids. I reread Raccoons on ao3 and remembered how much i loved them and their silly lil dynamic. im a #1 six defender btw i WILL throw hands if u say some wrong shit abt her. mono, less so bc i think a lot of people have a good grasp on his character now but six is ALWAYS villainized. Has been for years nd it ticks me off bc?? she was right for her actions kinda?? not really?? ofc both characters made bad choices that lead to it but dont disregard her feelings either? idk its a whole thing i cant get into on THIS post. a lot of the doodles are just random moments like Six in the Maw with their bigass keys and locks, maybe its one of the ones to the kitchen and thats why she's rushing :D? Mono isnt really. he wasnt meant to be in the end game room but i wanted funky lighting so do with that as u will. Silly stuff with RK and Six, RCG I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT U HUN <333 I JUST DONT HAVE A DESIGN FOR YOU YET!!! same for Low and Alone </3 RK with the nomes my beloved <333 nd ofc the last dance based on the animation on youtube!!! do not tag any of the ln kids as ship!!! and do not tag clover and flowey as a ship either!! only two im fine with in this drawing is staroba or narilamb oki goodnight

May I request a reader that hides behind them when she is overwhelmed or doesnā€™t wanna deal with people ? For Charlesā€™s lee ray , Vincent Sinclair , the doctors and trickster (seperetly) fluff plz
a/n: it's pretty short sadly but i hope u enjoy it!! <3 anyways have u guys seen jiwoon nd yunjin's upcoming halloween cosmetics.... guys..... guys im down bad for them i fear...
includes: charles lee ray, vincent sinclair, the doctor, and the trickster.
warnings: typical slasher and dbd warnings, mentions of murder, i think it's pretty much just fluff but there might be some undertones of darker stuff?? like very very vague undertones that you'll probably honestly miss but. just stating it, in case.
Tumblr media
CHARLES LEE RAY
Charles would, in all honesty, probably tease you for hiding behind him of all people whenever you get overwhelmed. It wouldn't be malicious teasing or anything like that, though he definitely doesn't know when to stop.
In the beginning of your relationship, he probably won't say it, but he likes that you feel safe enough to hide behind him like this.
He'll definitely act annoyed every time you hide behind him, maybe even roll his eyes, but don't let this fool you because he's shielding you away from the rest of the world and keeping you hidden from anyone who may be around.
And if you hide behind him because there's someone around that you're trying to avoid or that you just flat out don't want to deal with at the moment, then trust that Charles will take care of it.
He's not going to immediately resort to murder, so you don't have to necessarily worry about that, but depending on who it is and how they treat you, then yeah.
They may die.
It's an act of romance from him, by the way.
Nothing says 'I love you' quite like killing anyone who inconveniences you in some sort of way. He is a serial killer, after all. How else is he supposed to be romantic?
In all seriousness though, Charles does try to make you feel at ease whenever you find yourself hiding behind him.
He'll crack a few jokes, tell random stories of the past crimes he's committed, anything that'll help you feel less overwhelmed.
VINCENT SINCLAIR
Vincent is the only one here who would truly understand why you hide behind him, I think. He knows what it's like to be overwhelmed, wanting to hide away from everyone. It's why he spends most of his time in the basement.
He would never judge you for this, like... at all. He actively encourages you to do it, if anything else, because he wants you to do whatever makes you comfortable.
If he can help you feel less overwhelmed, then he will. If somebody has been bothering you enough to make you feel this way, then trust that he will not hesitate to step in.
Tourist, Bo, Lester, it doesn't matter. You're his top priority more often than not these days.
Shit, he'll put himself in time out if he somehow contributes to making you feel this way. He'd feel genuinely awful if he made you feel overwhelmed, honestly.
When he's overwhelmed, he finds that absently drawing helps to calm him down. He knows that not everyone finds comfort in the same thing, but he'll definitely offer you a pencil and paper if he thinks it might help.
But if you'd rather just make yourself comfortable behind him, then he doesn't mind. He'll continue whatever he was doing with no issue.
Though... if he's in the middle of turning someone into a wax figure, he'd rather you not be around during that. And you obviously can't hide behind him when there are tourists in town, because like... obviously.
But other than that, you're free to use him as a little shield from the world whenever you need.
It makes his heart feel warm inside knowing you feel comfortable enough around him to go to him whenever you feel like this. It makes him feel like he's doing a good job at this whole dating thing.
THE DOCTOR
Herman is a bit of an enigma here because while I don't necessarily think he'd mind you hiding behind him like this whenever you're overwhelmed, he's also not the nicest person to know.
Lover or not, he isn't the type to be nice when it comes to words. He's a genius and views himself as better than everyone else, and you aren't an exception.
Personally, he's never felt overwhelmed. Like... never. He had everything he wanted growing up, and he truly never believes he's in the wrong, even if he is, so he's never had that sort of anxiety either. The only time he's ever felt anxious was when he knocked his classmate out for the first time, he thinks.
So, while he doesn't understand it on an emotional level, Herman does understand it on a scientific level. A part of him can't help but want to pick you apart and study your brain for somehow finding comfort in hiding behind him, but he doesn't.
Herman loves you. At least, he thinks this is love. A considerable amount of tolerance, if not.
This habit of yours is just one of the many things he's not sure he'll ever truly understand when it comes to you. It's... frustrating, just a bit. You're an enigma to him. An anomaly.
He's never been a big fan of anomalies. Yet here you are, hiding behind him as if he were someone who would protect you from harm.
He'd destroy the minds of the many for you, he thinks.
Being who he is, both before and after the fog, you're bound to be safe if you stick by him.
So, while Herman doesn't understand why you feel safe around him, or why he doesn't mind your behavior, he certainly isn't going to make you stop.
THE TRICKSTER
Jiwoon is... not really gonna understand why you hide behind him whenever you're overwhelmed. He thrives under attention, positive or negative, so he can't wrap his mind around how you get overwhelmed by it.
But he most thrives under your attention, so having you hide behind him every time you're overwhelmed or done with people in general really just... feeds into his ego.
So if this is before the fog, it's definitely not something you can do in public.
Jiwoon doesn't care, he really doesn't, but as an idol, dating is like... not really acceptable in the industry, and Yunjin would literally have his ass if he was caught being lovey-dovey with someone and it wasn't part of a publicity stunt of some sort.
He does understand what it's like not wanting to deal with people though, even if he does thrive under their attention. He literally killed a sasaeng because they were stalking him, so like...
I don't think he'd explicitly offer to kill someone for you if they put you in a state of being overwhelmed, mostly because he keeps his whole killer business a secret but, I mean, he would kill for you.
The moment he finds out who has you feeling so overwhelmed, be it by you telling him yourself or by other means, they will be dealt with.
And when the person who has been stressing you out so much lately is suddenly found murdered, Jiwoon is right there to help you deal with the overwhelming shock that may come with the situation.
Not long after the gruesome murder, The Trickster releases a love song with haunting background vocals. Fans and critics alike are trying to figure out who the mysterious voice is, but no dice.
No matter, fog or not, he will be a loving boyfriend and let you hide behind him however you please. Your attention, more often than not, is one of the only things that matter to him.

A Weekend in Vienna šŸ‡¦šŸ‡¹
Tumblr media
While vacationing in Germany, Chantelleā€™s (OC) best friend, Adrian (also an OC), books an impromptu trip to Vienna to visit extended family. Chantelle decides to join her for the last few days of her trip, where she meets an interesting friend of Adrianā€™s family who offers to show the two around the city for the weekendšŸ¤­
TW: Pretty much none, not for this chapter anyway, but things will get šŸŒ¶ļøspicyšŸŒ¶ļø in the next parts. Also there is an age gap between OC and Kƶnig, she is 25 and he is about 36-37.
CW: FemOCs, female pronouns used, while both characters are technically OCs please feel free to imagine them however youā€™d like, ultimately the main character is the reader, I just didnā€™t want to use ā€œY/Nā€ so I gave them names šŸ™ˆ
Word Count: 1,516
*DISCLAIMER*
This is my first time EVER writing any kind of fan fiction so please go easy on me šŸ˜­ if you like where things are going, likes and reblogs would be greatly appreciated! If youā€™d like to see anything in particular in the next part or part(s), Iā€™d love to hear it!
This version of Kƶnig is based on the above interpretation drawn by @lettaniko (I hope you donā€™t mind me using it! I absolutely love this drawing itā€™s perfect! šŸ«¶šŸ¼)
I like a nice build up to the smut so if you like to get right into it this is probably not going to be for youā€¦but if you can wait I it out I promise itā€™ll be worth it šŸ˜‚
Enjoy! šŸ’‹
Tumblr media
7:30am. Thereā€™s approximately 30 minutes before my train departs for Vienna, and I still havenā€™t reached the train station yet. I scrambled as I dashed out of my hotel room, hoping Iā€™d left the place in a somewhat decent state and I hadnā€™t forgotten anything valuable as got into the elevator. Iā€™ve been exploring Munich for the past two weeks and Iā€™ve been having the absolute time of my life. Although traveling alone can be quite scary, oddly enough, Iā€™ve never felt more at home. Munich is such a vibrant city, filled with all kinds of exciting things to do and Iā€™ve met so many incredible people, itā€™s definitely been the experience of a lifetime. To say that I am not looking forward to going back home to Vancouver would be an understatement, but all good things must come to an end. Iā€™d spent about a year and a half learning to speak German, and promised myself that I would plan a trip in celebration of achieving fluency, so here I am! Now, Vienna wasnā€™t initially on my list of places to visit when I decided to come to Germany, but my best friend, Adrian, ended up booking a spur of the moment flight last week to visit extended family in Austria and suggested I come hangout with her during the last few days of my trip. Seeing as its only a 3-4hr train ride from Munich, I figured why the hell not! Iā€™ve heard Vienna is beautiful, and Im at all not opposed to exploring another city.
Upon arrival at the train station in Vienna I was greeted by Arian, excitedly jumping up and down while holding up a large white sign that read ā€œWillkommen in Wien, Schlampe!ā€ I rolled my eyes and shook my head, laughing as I got off the train and ran over to her, tackling her in a tight embrace as she laughed hysterically. ā€œDid you have to let the whole station know that Iā€™m a bitch orā€¦?ā€
ā€œHonestly, they shouldā€™ve known the moment they saw you.ā€ She said jokingly. ā€œHow was the ride over?ā€ She asked.
ā€œAmazing, I havenā€™t slept that well in years. It also didnā€™t feel like a 4 hour train ride.ā€
ā€œTrains in out here are quite quick so I wouldnā€™t be surprised if it somehow took less time. They definitely shit on the ones we have back home.ā€
ā€œOh for sure.ā€ I agreed as we began walking over to the car.
ā€œSo a family friend of ours just came back from a mission in the states, heā€™s in the military bee tee dubs ā€”ā€œ
ā€œYeah kinda pieced that together when you said ā€˜missionā€™.ā€ I chuckled.
ā€œI donā€™t drive out here so heā€™s gonna give us a ride back to my aunts, cool?ā€
ā€œSounds good.ā€
ā€œHeā€™s also a lot more familiar with Vienna than I am, so he offered to show us around a bit later on this evening.ā€ Aw how nice of him. Knowing Adrian, the first place sheā€™ll want to be taken to is the nearest bar, that girl can drink! If thereā€™s one thing Iā€™ve learned from my time in Germany, and my 10 years of friendship with Adrian, itā€™s that Europeans love their liquor. There are people from all parts of Europe in Germany and thatā€™s one thing that remains quite consistent across the board. I also love my liquor, which is probably why I ended up fitting in so well.
We finally arrived at the car and opened the trunk to begin loading all of my luggage inside. Iā€™d brought a small carryon suitcase, a duffle bag, as well as a large suitcase that was full of clothes Iā€™d over packed from home, and a bunch of other clothes and souvenirs Iā€™d bought in Munich. ā€œOkay this oneā€™s gonna be a tad heavy.ā€ I warned as Adrian grabbed hold of the handle on the top. I reached forward to try to help her lift, but neither of us could manage the weight. ā€œI got it.ā€ His voice was low, but gentle. He had an accent, but it wasnā€™t overwhelming or harsh, nor did it make anything he said hard to understand. I wasnā€™t expecting to see the person I saw when Iā€™d finally caught a glimpse of himā€¦I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen a man like this in my entire life. Adrian and I stepped back as he grabbed hold of the suitcase, lifting it with absolute ease, as if it were light as a feather. His arm muscles bulged within the confines of his olive green long sleeved shirt as he tossed the suitcase inside the trunk. My heart began to race, It felt as if I was watching him move in slow motion. ā€œEasy peasy.ā€ He smirked as he turned around and looked down at me, his dazzling dark blue eyes awash with amusement at Adrian and Iā€™s prior struggle. Jesus Christā€¦This man is an absolute unit. Heā€™s gotta be at least 6 foot 7, if not taller. Heā€™s incredibly easy on the eyes in a rough and rugged kinda way ā€” a nice low trimmed beard, medium length dark brown hair, and a smile that is captivatingly dangerous to say the least. His presence alone exudes a confidence that causes me to grow weak in the knees. ā€œIā€™m Kƶnig,ā€ he smiled knowingly as he stretched his hand out towards me. I know Iā€™m definitely not the first woman to look at him the way I am. Even though Iā€™m trying to keep my composure, itā€™s very clear that he can see right through it. ā€œAnd you must be Chantelle?ā€ He asked, eyes slowly roaming about my frame from head to toe. He bites his lip slightly as they return to my gaze, suggesting so much without saying any words at all. ā€œI ā€” yes.ā€ I blushed, sheepishly brushing my hair behind my ear as I shook his hand. ā€œNice to meet you.ā€ He said. ā€œOh yeah, Kƶnig Chantelle, Chantelle Kƶnig.ā€ Adrian yelled from the backseat. He laughed and shook his head as he closed the trunk.
We arrived at Adrianā€™s aunts house about 45 minutes later. Kƶnig helped us load all of my things into the foyer before letting us know heā€™d be coming back in a few hours to take us out to this bar that he and a few of his buddies on his task force frequent whenever theyā€™re home. Iā€™ve been thinking about him ever since he left ā€” those mysterious blue eyes, the way he slightly bites his lower lip just before laughing at something ridiculous Adrian has said, the way his arm muscles swell beneath his shirt with the slightest movementā€¦God, heā€™s sexy. I could think of a million different ways Iā€™d want him to ruin me. The thought alone of being trapped beneath his large brawny frame writhing in pleasure as he thrusts into me over and over has me clenching around nothing. Though Iā€™m not usually one for a one time fling, I have a feeling heā€™d be able to convince me. ā€œSo, you wanna tell me what all of that was about?ā€ Adrian asked as she helped me settle into the guest room. ā€œWhat are you talking about?ā€ I asked. ā€œSince when are you a shy girl?ā€ She giggled. Sigh. I figured she was referencing my unusual silence during the car ride over here. ā€œHeā€™s hot as fuck but Iā€™ve never seen you like that before.ā€
ā€œUgh!ā€ I groaned as I covered my face with a pillow. Sheā€™s right. Iā€™m not very easily intimidated. Iā€™m quite the confident woman and I ensure everyone in the room knows it, but this was different. Almost as if our energies were fighting for dominance, and mine didnā€™t stand a chance. ā€œHey if itā€™s any consolation, my jaw dropped the first time I saw him without his mask too.ā€ Mask?
ā€œMask?ā€ I asked.
ā€œYesā€¦the last time I was here he was on base training recruits, so Iā€™d see him often in full tactical gear. Heā€™s a snipper, so he wears a mask to hide his face in the field. I mean, that was hot too, but in a Ghostface kinda wayā€
I couldnā€™t help but laugh at the comparison, but I was curious to see what his entire ensemble looked like. ā€œHow old is he?ā€ I asked.
ā€œI think heā€™s in his mid to late 30s? Iā€™m honestly not too sure, and it doesnā€™t matter to me either way.ā€ She winked. ā€œI was sensing some unspoken vibes between the two of you in the car though. Donā€™t think I didnā€™t see both of you stealing glances at each other every now and then.ā€ She smirked.
ā€œStop,ā€ I scoffed. ā€œA man like that is definitely not single, and even if he isā€¦I donā€™t knowā€ I blushed. ā€œI didnā€™t see him looking at me..ā€
ā€œK well I see everything, he definitely likes what he sees, and clearly the feeling is mutual on your end as well. Looks like tonight will be interesting.ā€
ā€œNothingā€™s gonna happen, Adrian.ā€ I laughed as I rolled my eyes. Nothingā€™s gonna happenā€¦right?

i look up to your art so much! i have a few questions if ur comfortable answering!!!
1. what app do u use to draw ? and what brush do u use?
2. were there any tutorials or videos in general you watched to be able to draw like that? im very curious on this question in general bc i love the way u draw poses. im very jealous of how well you do that! šŸ˜« (if you have any vids you recommend, pls send it i begggggg)
3. how long have u been drawing? i got back into drawing last year and have been practicing since but i still struggle a bit šŸ˜£
HELLO! thank you so much for liking my work and for the questions!
Q1: I use Clip Studio Paint Pro, the brushes i use is a mix between free downloaded ones my friend gave me and paid ones. Main one i use is Cat Scratch but my other 2 options that i use are the fine pencil and mechanical pencil. i download so many brushes all the time that im not even sure they are default csp brushes or not, and i wouldn't even be able to find the original links anyway. The brush i used while working on the Sleep Walk animatic was "tantan"
Tumblr media
(examples of my fine pencil and mechanical pencil if you want to try and find something similar)
Q2: wow thank you that is a very nice complement (i personally think i still need some work on my posing). I watched a LOT of gesture drawing videos, i honestly don't remember all of them too well, i will send over this one and this one. Also the book MORPHO anatomy for artists: Simplified forms by Michel Lauricella is on my desk at all times. I also recommend Line of Action, its a free website that imitates figure drawing studies. it's helped me a lot since where i am right now, i don't have the resources to actually GO to figure drawing classes. But for videos in general there's this fav animatics playlist i have that i go back to whenever im in an artistic slump.
also heres a list of my fav artists atm (literally didn't ask but im putting it here anyway): TheBrujoAri, fourleafisland, jam_etc, abyssalzones, Mayuko Watson, Megan Lloyd, Stephen Silver and satoshi kon (also just a bunch of moots of mine <3)
Q3: now thats a hard question. short answer: since i knew how to pick up a crayon. long answer: i've always loved cartoons and comics, animated youtube in the 2010s was what i was watching on the family computer 24/7. but that's normal for a kid tbh, the difference is i just never grew out of it! i'd say it was around 5th grade (11 years old) when i stopped and realized "wait i want to like do this whole drawing thing seriously", then i never stopped.

Random isat doodles while i figure out how to caption my loop drawing!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some sifs and some loops... the siblings ever to me..
(Also- sorry my otherkin ass can NOT stop projecting onto my favorite guys and making them kibties</333)
Watch me yap if you want vvv
Erm. Try not to draw siffrin as some kind of beast challenge (impossible)
Uh. So. I. Really like sibling relationships if you could not tell. Like yeah im a shipper but oh my stars i love siblings so much i love these two
I think. Post game. Sif makes a very simple wish that loop can, wherever they may be, be happy. And erm they wake up under the favor tree human(ish) again! Woohoo. I imagine theyd freak out at least a little but whatever theyre fine. They go and try to become a new person (and succeed for the most part!)
Im running low on brain power to explain all of this rn and ill probably be making something silly later anyway so uhm this is gonna be shorter than i wanted but. Eventually. Ive finally decided. Loop falls for nille teehee
It just keeps popping up in my head so i let it happen </3
ALSO idk if it shows much here but. Loop is still kibty. Their ears are just longer, their tail is different, and their legs r a big more fucked up. And also also sif n loop love each other a lot<33 it takes them a minute but they are very happy to be around each other. Sif gives loop flowers regularly and loop really really loves flowers now. Fits them on their outfit whenever they can. And they keep a special kind in their hair because its the first one sif gave them. They also like to think of themselves as older because they spent longer in the loops. Also. Theyre. Taller. Like a lot taller. Who did that.

question! im considering doing dividers as gifts for my friends and I was wondering if you had any tips? is it a better idea to hand draw the designs to avoid any potential copyright issues or is using free to distribute clip resources okay?
I know how to draw and do edits just fine Iā€™m just not sure what other graphic artists do in this regard
Hi anon!
Okay, so this is going to be a little long winded and maybe stuff you might know about the process, but I hope itā€™ll be helpful as a guide for others too maybe? Tips under the cut otherwise everyoneā€™s gonna have to scroll through it.
1. Personally, I LOVE Canva because it has a library of pre-uploaded elements and its super easy to use. Like if I search stars hundreds of individual elements come up as results.
(I know some people also use Visme, which I donā€™t have any real experience with, but itā€™s an alternative with good reviews.)
As long as you are not claiming each individual element is your own creation, youā€™re in the clear. People making graphics like these almost always use premade elements and combine or edit them into a unique piece. That being said, if you claim that an individual element is your own, youā€™ll probably be called out. I donā€™t know how familiar you are with the community so forgive me if I sound condescending: the graphics/digital art community is a wild place when it comes to plagiarism but itā€™s good that artists look out for each other.
Anyway. Creators that upload designs/elements/templates to Canva are aware that they can be changed/edited. If you have Canva pro (which I recommend because you can do transparent PNGs so easily) some elements are only available via pro subscription and youā€™re compensating the creator for the use of the element and however you change it.
Basically, the divider/graphic is yours, but the individual elements are theirs. You donā€™t need to give credit because itā€™s like using stamps or stickers. For example: You wouldnā€™t typically use Lisa frank stickers on a coloring page and then credit Lisa frank in the corner of the paper. āš ļøI strongly urge you to stay away from AI art. Generators steal from artists to create what the user searches for!āš ļø
2. Hand drawing can get a little tricky. You have to be careful with your dimensions and even file size sometimes. In my personal experience, if youā€™re new to this type of graphic art you should wait until youā€™re comfortable with it. It can get confusing. Iā€™ve had MANY graphics come out a blurry, frustrating mess and Iā€™m by no means the best divider maker/graphic artist on the planet.
An extra example: my Cute Coquette set vs my Dark Siren set. Technically, thereā€™s nothing wrong with the coquette ones, but they look fuzzy/blurry. I made them when I was first starting out and I struggled with how to line up the right dimensions. I keep them up because as much as I donā€™t like how blurry they are, it shows my progress and Iā€™m rather fond of them. Itā€™s not even close to what I do now, like the Dark Sirens, which even zoomed out have a lot of detail but are clear and defined. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. To avoid said blurring, I recommend using these canvas sizes:
Banners and headers: 1055px x 500px, Iā€™ve also done 3000px x 500px.
Standard Size Dividers: 3000px x 240px
Thicker/Thinner Dividers: Basically you can go as thin or thick as you want as long as that first number is 3000px. I added a screenshot of ones Iā€™ve used recently that might help.
I think if youā€™re using software like procreate, the canvas sizes are the same but youā€™ll have to go through some extra steps if you want to get it into canva or whatever graphic editing software youā€™re using.
Tumblr media
4. Lastly and most importantly, just have fun. Play around with the settings and figure out what works best for you!! You of course can DM me with more questions, but I hope this at least helped a little bit.
šŸ©µšŸŒø
*Edited 2 hours after posting to add personal examples, and this little guide can now be found in my navigation post!*

having a crush on streamer ! roommate ! blade
cw: suggestive, not proof read sorry.
probably streams something like valorant or league (sorry.) or he streams himself drawing ! he enjoys streaming but he also just does it for extra moneyā€¦ he knows heā€™s attractive. doesnā€™t talk/commentate that much but he has some dry humor that makes people intrigue especially for how he is. when he gets annoyed at whatever heā€™s playing, he would cuss a lot but not likeā€¦ throwing his keyboard across the room.
would stream with silverwolf and gets a bit annoyed whenever she beats his ass whenever they play together. sometimes they meet up and also play horror games together. blade has a straight face but is actually terrified that he screams ā€œfuck!?!!?ā€ while silverwolf stares at him with a straightface like it wasnt even that scary -_-
anyways, moving in and discovering he was your roommate was interesting. he wasnt really shyā€¦ just awkward, and may come off a bit condescending and mean but if only you could see his red ears whenever he interacts with you. at first you were wary of him whether or not he would do his own share of chores so you nag at him multiple times. spoiler alert: he does do his part<3 this is where you both start interacting more by playfully being sarcastic at each other.
ā€œtsk you know i do chores when youre not aroundā€¦ you gotta trust me more will ya?ā€
ā€œokay sorryā€¦ā€
it was a rough start getting to know him as a roommate since he is always in his room when youre around or when he goes out a lot whether to the gym (which you find yourself staring at his figure or analyzing it behind his baggy shirt) or to hang out with his friends, he comes home late. but a sweet gesture he does is when you wake up in the morning, you see a bunch of food or take out on the counter as a thank you for cooking and leaving some for him.
he finallt brought his friends around (silverwolf and kafka!) and they introduce themselves to you while they nudge blade teasingly. like how could he hide his precious roommate from them. thats when they started asking you questions while bladeā€™s ears are perked.
ā€œso dear are you single? what do you like and dislike? to think bladie wouldnt even talk to his dear roommateā€¦ dont make them feel lonely blade ā€˜kay?ā€
ā€œyeaā€¦ i am whyd you ask? and i like ___ and dislike ___. and oh im fine!ā€
ā€œwhats your type! do you like games? can we play ? we can play with blade too if you want!ā€
ā€œstop with the questions you two. and excuse me i talk to themā€¦ kinda.ā€
ā€œsure you do.ā€
after that interaction, blade is a bit more talkative to you now but still a bit closed off. thats when you questioned him about the noise he makes and asks if he streams. he embarrassingly said yes while he continues to answer your questions begrudgingly.
you tend to text to your friends about him and march 7th starts teasing you to no end. dan heng kinda warns you about him but would support you to no endā€¦ just dont get in bladeā€™s bad side. stelle or caelus would purposely create scenarios where you have to talk to blade since they have a lot of classes with him.
one time you were going home after seeing your friends until you came home to see he was making a meal for himself, shirtless. in which he blushes deep red but shrugs it off as he smirks. you were surprised and actually squeaked, telling him to put a shirt on.
ā€œput some clothes on damn it.ā€
ā€œwell stop looking its really that simple.ā€
since your friends, you, blade and his friends came to the conclusion you both like each other, do you actually confess? no but obviously you both are stubborn and would rather deal with the sexual loving tension. roommates who decided to do grocery shopping together one day. to go out and maybe look for a pet. roommates who sometimes rant to each other about deep personal stuff. working out together. following each other on social medias. wt this point march 7th and kafka is practically screaming at u and bladeā€™s face to confess.
that was until you were knocking at his door and he wasnt there since you already brought him his food. you came in his room for the first time to see his stream was on and people were wondering who are you. looking around his space, you found some of the little gifts you gave him and saw his phone glow up to a silly cute picture of you that you sent. making you feel flustered bc goddamn it you just needed to hand him his food.
ā€˜alhaithamscatboy: ohmygod are u bladeā€™s partner?!?!!? the one silverwolf was teasing blade about!
eimikofanpage69: theyre so fine!!!! oh my god !!!! wdym yall are just roommates?
KAZUSCARAFAN: UR LYING WHEN U SAY UR JUST ROOMMATES. ā€˜
ā€œ(name) whyre you here? oh you brought me food. thank you. uh sorry about my chat.ā€
ā€œah yes actually theyre my lovely partner.ā€œ blade said as he pecks you on the cheek and the chat goes crazy. literally making it viral.
after the stream, you confronted him and freaked out. asking him if he just did it for the views or if he actually liked you that way. which makes him infuriated because how could he ever do that to someone he loves and respects.
ā€œi like you okay? iā€¦ love you a lot more than i can ever express and i would never do shit like that for views. i had my eyes on you ever since you moved in. i just didnt know if you do. im sorry if i made you uncomfortable.ā€
ā€œyou didnt. and i-i love you tooā€¦ now you should like, kiss me better bladie.ā€
ā€œcall me yingxing or ren instead.ā€ he whispered as he kissed you on the lips passionately.

darkwood disciple designs! not entirely happy with barbatos, but. ehh... good enough for now. these guys are specifically from Abstraction of the Soul, narilamb fic im writing with my fiancƩe @legendspeaker :3 notes and rambles under the cut
first, im running with the headcanon that amdusias, valefar, and barbatos were leshy's disciples. amdusias is referred to with it/its, valefar is referred to with she/her, and barbatos is referred to with they/them.
these designs were based in part on a hc i have that the minibosses were regular ass followers before they were changed to fight the lamb <3 since the lamb can change follower forms in game, the bishops totally could have too.
amdusias was a rabbit, valefar was a cat, and barbatos was a stag. part of the reason im not super happy w how barbatos turned out is because i couldn't figure out how to incorporate any stag-like features šŸ˜­ but amdusias has a bunny nose and valefar has cat face, and they both have fur on their faces and necks instead of leaves. (amdusias is also wearing the horn band it got in chapter 22!!)
for amdusias and valefar, i also wanted to try to incorporate the enemies of darkwood into their designs, like. amdusias is based on a chaser + spitter worm, so i tried to make it look a little bit like a chaser worm with their dark shadowy faces. same for valefar and the jumper worms. cannot tell if i actually succeeded tho bc i have artist bias.
i redrew barbatos four times. ouh my god. i love barbatos a lot but i actually wanted to figure out a way to kill them for real. anyways, i ended up taking inspiration from @/aveloka-draws barbatos and @/oneofthosenightbees barbatos for this design. ill probably redraw it later and end up massively simplifying it to something i like way better, but for now, it's good enough.
if u read this far eeee ily :3 go do self care things like eat food and drink water, mwah

MONTHLY MFIP UPDATEāœØāœØ
9/24 | Month 2 | Next Month | Month 1
Hey folks šŸ¦ I finally got the chance to make this monthā€™s MFIP Update cuz god damn life was kicking my ass. College is fine for the most part tbh, just a lot of reading and writing cuz of the specific classes I chose. HOWEVER I have šŸ’„FUCKING PMDDšŸ’„ so um skill issue on my part but itā€™s why Iā€™ve been kinda exhausted as shit this week and was late with the update so my bad folks! (Also for more info on PMDD, click here! I donā€™t wanna spend this post yapping about it but wanted to leave a resource to spread awareness just in case :3). Also, Imma be tagging some of y'all who have been reading/supporting MFIP consistently just for this post, so yk you guys actually know these updates exist. I was gonna do that for the first ever update but as with many things, I forgor, so I'm doing it now! Theyā€™re supposed to come out on the 18th of every month, but yk sometimes life happens and Iā€™m a lil late. It wonā€™t be any earlier than the 18th tho so look out for these once it hits that date! Anywho, cheers to this monthā€™s update!
Tumblr media
Alrighty folks we be starting with the Art~!
Tumblr media
Alrighty so obvious new thing, WE GOT RAPHā€™S REF SHEEEEEEEET TEEHEEEEEEE
BRO IM SO HYPE ABOUT IT! It turned out so genuinely amazing and Iā€™m ridiculously proud of it! Especially cuz I honestly thought Raph was gonna be a harder design to figure out yk? Iā€™m not used to drawing his body type, I wasnā€™t as familiar with his outfit, and even tho Iā€™ve sketched him a few times before, I was just a bit nervous with Raph. Funfact, heā€™s also been the hardest to figure out how to write back when I was first starting MFIP. I genuinely donā€™t know why, but I got there eventually (I actually really love writing him nowā€”) and same thing happened with his design!
Since MFIPā€™s taking place a few months after the Krang invasion, iā€™m able to take creative liberties and update the boysā€™ designs more! For some clarification btw, in my storyā€™s lore, the invasion took place in September 2020, and MFIP starts on March 2021. Anywhizzle, my ideas for the boysā€™ designs is to combine their movie look with their show look, cuz while I do LOVE the black on them, it doesnā€™t feel right to me to not make them still unique in their own ways. These guys are all about authenticity, so why make their gear exactly the same, ya get me? I basically recolored his show gear to be black and red (and added a lil asymmetry on his legs) cuz I think it makes Raph feel older and more sure about himself, just feels right for him! I also just think the red fade on the black is hella cool! Fun lil color theory i think application, the black is more of a really dark, inky blue, so it makes the red pop out even more! I decided to make a bow out of his mask tails, too! I donā€™t wanna spoil the entire lore reasoning for it yet (itā€™ll pop up in the story), but I can indeed say itā€™s intentional that it looks a little like a lunamoth with damaged tails :3 I also took a BUNCH of creative liberties with his saisā€™ handles, since we havenā€™t really seen it much so like idk gaslight yourselves into thinking itā€™s always been this epicāœØāœØ
Also I gave him his shorts back because FUCK YOU I LIKED THE RED TRIMMMMā€”
OH I ALMOST FORGOT yes he has longer eyelashes! I saw he grows to have really pretty eyelashes in the future cuz of his turtle species, and I wanted to lean into that by showing theyā€™re starting to grow now :3
Bullshit Gag Because Yesā€¼ļøā€¼ļø
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There ainā€™t shit to say about this, I just pulled a silly. I saw the fact Donnie was supposed to have a ā€œDoctor Donatelloā€ persona in the deleted episode where Dale turns into a werewolf. Iā€™m really heavily on the train of Leo being the team medic and into medicine in general. I donā€™t think it makes sense for Donnie to be the medic judging by his sensory issues and this mf being as much of a germaphobe as my mom, and in my opinion it felt too stereotypical anyway to have Donnie be the medic. Ofc, to each their own, and this is just my interpretation of it, but I thought itā€™d be funny if Donnie still had this persona and was passionate about it, but was like horrifically bad at being a doctor. I made this dumbass sketch that Iā€™ll finish sometime in the future (itā€™s gonna be a chapter in Arc 3 probably) and I just wanted to share it with yall~
THEYā€™RE HUMAN NOWā‰ļø
Tumblr media
My ass wanted to show off cuz Iā€™m sketching out some ideas of what my human designs for the boys culd be. I already did Leoā€™s like ages ago so heā€™s not on here but Iā€™m realizing as Iā€™m typing this my dumbass forgor to post it so um my bad I will do that in a few daysā€”
But I wanted to design (or more accurately, redesign cuz I did draw em once a while back but Iā€™m not satisfied with them) and I think I ate so far so uh yea. There isnā€™t any logic to sharing this, I just thought it was coolšŸ˜­
And actually, imma share them here too just so yā€™all can see my boy ;w;
(A lil outdated cuz I didnā€™t give him lips at the time)
Tumblr media
Okay there we go~
Tumblr media
As you can see, I want all the boys to look kinda etherial and like they'd turn heads, and I think I am SUCCEEDING SO HARD SO FAR CUZ DAMNNNN THEY'RE ALL PRETTY AS SHIIIIIIIT TEEHEEāœØ Also am tryna make sure they actually look Blasian since that's what the canon of my story says they are. I'll talk about them more another time when I have all of them on here~
But yea that's all for art this time folks :> ONTO THE NEXT THINGGG
Tumblr media
Chapter Progress Time Whoop Whoooopā€¼ļøā€¼ļø
Tumblr media
I didnā€™t make much progress on anything this month due to collegeā€”again, itā€™s fine, but thereā€™s a shit ton of time management going on in my part to just manage everything and make sure Iā€™m on trackā€”BUT I am indeed still working on chapter 10. Weā€™re up to 20 pages now which is only two more pages written from last month, but itā€™s kinda cool writing Donnie and I feel like Iā€™m getting a better understanding of him! One thing Iā€™ve been tryna do is understand autism better as a condition cuz I do wanna acknowledge and show broā€™s autism instead of just ignoring it due to a lack of understanding. Donnie ainā€™t Donnie without it, ya know? I donā€™t know everything and tbh I would say I still have A LOT to learn on the subject matter, but Iā€™m tryna expand my knowledge every opportunity I get and experimenting with how to better show it! This is to say tho, Iā€™M NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, NOR AN EXPERT ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM. This is what Iā€™m finding and comprehending via my own research, and can tbh end up being wrong so please donā€™t quote me as a reliable source, Iā€™m still learning ;v;
I remember one of the things I kept hearing about was autism leading people to struggle with empathy. The best way I heard it being described was someone bringing the example of when their friend was upset. That person canā€™t truly feel their friendā€™s emotions because theyā€™re not the one experiencing it, so canā€™t properly understand how itā€™s making their friend feel. But they can see that their friend is communicating their sadness, and they still try to comfort them and make sure their friend knows theyā€™re there for support. I understood it as bringing logic to emotions in a sense; collecting data and figuring out how to handle the situation based on the data rather than using intuition alone.
Iā€™ve been using that to figure out how Donnie might handle more emotionally subtle situations, where he might try to rationally work through whatā€™s happening and kinda substitute it in place of natural empathy. Like the little tidbit I gave above! Instead of just automatically being able to get vibes that the other person is upset, I felt maybe Donnie would instead notice the fact their tone is kinda different from before; itā€™s basically a data point. With that data point in mind, he could connect it to past experiences where a tone change could indicate a mood change, and as a result he might conclude that Salenaā€™s tone change means sheā€™s upset. I comprehend it as manually working through empathy rather than it being second nature, if that makes sense. Obviously and thankfully Donnie isnā€™t gonna spend the entire chapter playing a guessing game or anything with Salenaā€™s emotions, itā€™s just one lil moment that I thought was cool challenge to myself with when writing him! I really love putting myself in the charactersā€™ shoes when Iā€™m writing them or their dialogue. I highly recommend it as a tool too, since it's helped me a lot with staying in character!
Tumblr media
Last Lil Segment Y'all
Aight so, I wanted to try doing something cool if y'all are up for it. I really love rambling about my story and lore and characters blah blah blah, but I don't really know how to do so tbh. I'm not that familiar with how social medias work cuz I just never took it seriously, and I don't wanna just keep being like HEYYYYY ASK BOX IS OPENNNNN like I'm screaming from the top of the hill either. Sooooo insteaddddd
I think it'd be fun to do Q&As here! Or at least something similar. I'll open my ask box again and feel free to send any questions you want; it can be about the story, past lore, design questions, getting to know the characters, absolutely anything! Then when I'm gonna do my update for the month, I'll compile all y'all's asks, (prolly will have to tag to make sure you guys know I answered it, or if you ask anon then uh idk look out for the monthly update) and then answer them during the monthly update as the last section! I think it'll be a cool way to make this feel more interactive, and gives me an excuse to ramble. Don't be afraid to ask potentially spoilery questions either! If it's something I can't spoil yet or even give hints or vague answers about, I'll just say so in the update!
Anywhizzle, That's All Folks~!
I'm glad there was so much to talk about this month! I actually deadass thought it would be short but I should know better with my yapping' assšŸ’€āœØ But yeah, thanks for reading everyone! I hope y'all enjoy the rest of your days, and I shall see you next month~ Bye :D

By the way, if you guys think youā€™d like to be tagged whenever an MFIP chapter is posted, lmk in a reblog or comment (no asks or dms plz, too inconvenient) and Iā€™ll be sure to tag so itā€™s more reliable than tumblr notifs :3šŸ«¶
