When I saw this drawing by @dont-offend-the-bees I knew I had to turn it into a living drawing. I imagine Edwin found some magical ink for his journal~

[whalemleck]

Sleep deprived and still alive! And lol-

the other miners getting t-cogs and are extremely excited that they spent hours getting used to them. Optimus holds a meeting for the miners two days later (he just broke up with the guy who killed him he needed a break).

They all pile in the room,the miners from the sector bee supervised are looking around for bee wanting to show their new alts. Only they can barely find him because of their new heights and how short he actually is.

----------------

And during situations where bee is in charge of those former miners again,other bots they encounter are like:

Random bots: so where's your leader?

Prowl: Optimus prime is at a debriefing in the capital and Elita-1 is training our new recruits.

Random bots: oh,well who's the one in charge then?

Prowl,along with the other three bots standing next to him,take two steps to the side to reveal bee standing there,quietly observing the newcomers.

(also thank you for the art on my previous asks! Really happy you like my rants and drabbles on your au)

Former miners are still in the habit of turning to Bee for help. He is a Golden Guard, a bot with reputation and great power, he has priority in all circles

It's funny the idea that the newcomers are uncomfortable with the mere fact that the Golden Guard is around them, even though they dont know where. (dude, why is he standing there staring at us??)

Then newcomers see some jeth walk up to this scared bot and are like:

anon bot: Hey yo Warden! Golden Guard: ..Jazz, I asked you not to call me that. the bot known as Jazz: okay, sorry Bee Bee Bee, ..uh, we've got a problem. Bee nods: well? Jazz, awkwardly: Anyway, some higher up bot has come to us and says that even though we have T codes, we're still miners, and we should- Bee: Show me the way. Jazz: Ty ty ty ty!

The newcomers have a burning envy of the miners, they are really close with the bodyguard (and also because Bee himself has stated that the miners are under his tutelage, and anyone who offends them will have to deal with him)

Dead Boy Detectives Fanmade Season 2?

I know the news about the cancellation of Dead Boy Detectives just dropped, so it might be too soon to post this, but honestly I've been having thoughts about writing my own season 2 of the show for a couple months now (are we honestly surprised? does anyone trust Netflix anymore?). However. That would be, a lot of work for one fic writer with a day job (how many writers are involved in a typical season of television?). So, before I actually get too deep into this, would anyone actually be interested?

I've never done anything like this, or even had any kind of large fandom collaborations, but I think it could work, even if it takes ages. It doesn't have to just be writers who get involved! Input on characters and plots, or art to go along with it, would be more than welcome.

I'm tagging everyone I can think of off the top of my head who's involvement in this fandom I have engaged with. This is, obviously, not everyone, just who I came up with after, like, a minute of going through the fic recs I've been posting lately and whoever is on my dash at the moment:

@dreamers-and-magicians; @dont-offend-the-bees; @e-vasong; @ghostinthelibrarywrites; @homoquartz; @catalists; @thisgameissonintendo; @emryses; @ahyperactivehero; @williamvapespeare; @e-payne; @starsandaces24; @lesamis; @babyseraphim

None of this is a decision at the moment, and I'm not asking for any commitments, just trying to gauge interest. If you don't want to be tagged in association with this insane idea, just let me know and I'll remove you.

bee tee dubs, regarding yesterday's ask

Dont worry abt ever making me uncomfortable if you wanna ask me something abt the lore or meta of the stuff I draw fan art of, especially when its about izuru.

If something does make me uncomfortable I'd say it but I would never be offended

Just realized I forgot to share this to tumblr but heres my submission for this years @dghdabigbang with accompanying art by @dont-offend-the-bees please go show them some love because they did an amazing job!

I had a blast working on this and i'm glad to finally be able to share it!

[jestermarotte]

hi, please dont see this as a ticket to start discourse, i just wanted to state an opinion that you could possible take as constructive criticism. feel free to ignore it.

i love your art style and i absolutely love your coloring, however i do find it a bit odd that you colored the characters in that way in your recent turkrus art. you made russia paper white and turkey a very dark brown. obviously it is your art and i would not know the artistic logic behind your choices, but i just wanted to kindly remind you that turkish people are medium-fair. the character sadık seems to have a tan complexion, but still not brown. im just pointing this out because i am turkish and there seems to be an erasure of our peoples backgrounds in western media, painting us overly middle-eastern or anything else. we don’t quite belong to any other group. not white like the balkans, not dark like middle easterners, not monolidded like central asians. you will find the occasional paper white turk or someone with dark skin and 4a hair, but i think hetalia characters are usually drawn as an approximate/median of these characteristics.

again, this is just a reminder of sorts? keep up the amazing work with your art and have a nice day❤️

thank you for your comment

I don't think you have anything to worry about

maybe I'm not so good at light-color relations in painting yet,

but I definitely don’t want to offend anyone or emphasize anything

(bee is sad because at first I was so happy about the big letter, and then I realized that this was more a serious message than light news, haha)

good day to you too

thank you for the compliment on my creativity; I'm trying hard on this c:⚡💫 ✨🌟

An alternate version of the wonderful illustration of Edwin Payne's journal by @dont-offend-the-bees. I don't know which version I prefer...

I was tagged by @dont-offend-the-bees to share a snippet of a WIP. Tagging @sirnotappearinginthisblog @shunshuntaiga @epitomyofshyness @errorbrainloading @sidleyparkhermit

I am doing a bit from an original fic I have been working on for a few years now. The characters in this scene are:

Cal: an involuntarily telepathic human who has spent years continually drunk because it was the only way he could shut out other people's thoughts. He just hit rock bottom and decided to sober up, and has been having a Time of it.

Athena: a half-orc refugee from a very multicultural border city, who was about to earn her degree in art before her city was destroyed. She has been dealing with the culture shock and prejudice in the more insular human-only settlements. She recently had a bad breakup when she realized her ex was only interested because she was trying to rebel against her parents by dating an orc.

“And she didn’t even WANT to see any of my paintings!  She didn’t listen to a single word of my recitation of The Three Bandits!  Who was the REAL uncultured savage there, huh?”

Athena had been ranting about her jerk ex for the past twenty minutes.  Cal sympathized with her, he really did, but the sun was shining directly into his eyes, the ground was hard and unyielding, and he felt feverish all over.  So far, sobriety ranked about a zero out of ten in his book. 

“I mean, what kind of person has never even HEARD of Scavaldi’s epic?!  And raw meat?!  How hard is it to just ask a girl what she eats?!” She was really hitting her stride, now.

“Athena, please!” He finally snapped. “I would normally love hearing all about it, but my head is pounding!  Can we please just walk in silence for a bit?”

She looked at him like he had just tried to eat gravel.  Or raw meat. 

“What are you talking about?” She asked.  “I haven’t said a word all morning.”

Oh.  Oh shit.  Those weren’t OUT LOUD thoughts.  He covered his face with both hands and groaned. He could hear her arriving at the same conclusion, and dropped to the ground.  He could not have this conversation and walk at the same time.

“I am so, SO sorry,” he said. “I swear it was an accident, I would never have kept listening if I didn’t think you were talking to me, I’m not a creep, I swear, I don’t want to know what’s in your head,” the words kept rushing out of him, he couldn’t even find a space to breathe, “I try not to peek, you just think in full sentences, and who even does that anyways, it is SO weird, you’re not rehearsing a fucking play, you’re not running for mayor, just use pictures like the rest of us, sorry, not the point, I promise I will try harder, it’s just all so new—”

“Woah, woah, Cal, hey,” She sounded freaked, and slowly pulled his hands away from his eyes.  He winced in the light, and she quickly shifted to put him in her shadow. Hesitantly, he met her eyes.  She wasn’t angry.  She wasn’t offended.  She was WORRIED.  Why was she worried? She took a deep breath in and out, and he mirrored her. 

“I’m sorry,” he said one more time, for good measure. 

“I can see that,” she told him. They stayed like that for a minute, while Cal’s breathing returned to normal.  After a while she held out her waterskin.

“Do you want some water?” she asked.

“Want a beer,” he replied, but he still took the water.  It helped, a bit.  His stomach felt a bit more settled, and the pain in his calf started to dissipate.
