TEN HAG SACKED 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔

Thank you for the memories indeed 😔🕊️

[ckret2]

Loved the comic above the chapter. It was glorious and this is now my headcanon XD. The art is great too! What's the new programs you got? Had to ask before I dive into this chapter!

-🥸

new program is Affinity Designer, for vector art. My hands are shaky as hell (it's amazing how many weird-ass symptoms ADHD has that you don't hear about until you dig deep) and that makes it a pain in the ass to get my lineart looking as smooth as it does—i'm hoping using vector art for lining will speed up my workflow.

Right now while I'm still getting the hang of it I think it's slowing me down lmao. Got to learn how to deal with entirely new problems from the ones I used to have, like, "why does this damn program keep randomly switching between clicking on the layer I want and clicking on some totally different object group, when i choose a layer in procreate it stays on that damn layer until I tell it otherwise" and "why does drawing a new line sometimes apply the line style I wanted and sometimes apply a line style I used like twenty layers ago for no reason"

But once I've worked out the bugs I'm hopeful it'll speed things up.

Like, this! Look at this. I made a Bill and saved it as an asset. Have a generic Bill.

And now I never need to draw Bill again in my life.* (*this is hyperbole.) I can just slap that asset down, bend some things, rotate some things, and turn it into...

... whatever pose I want.

His body and hat are always the right shape and it's easy to deform them however I want and then instantly un-deform them with one button; his bricks & tie & eye are already applied; his limbs are always the exact same thickness, his feet are always the same shape, it takes one click to put his joints into perfectly smooth swoopy curves at the joints, and even the glow effect is always already applied

and man, I know stuff like an automatic glow is no big deal to people with fancy-pants high-end art software like Adobe Whatever, but I don't have Adobe Whatever, I have Procreate and you have to manually make your glow layers and if you redraw the image you've gotta redo the glow from scratch. Never again!!

You wanna know what I had to actually hand-draw to change the first image into the second image?

That's it.

My two issues are—one—because I'm so new at this, it takes a lot of time twitching around individual nodes and figuring out clever little ways to layer objects to get the right effect that a pro wouldn't have to spend on it, and—two—because vector art is SO precise and smooth, it tends to drain some of the personality and "character" out of the art. Like,

the angry Scalene on the left "looks better" just in terms of having clean consistent lines and pixel-perfect gradients and no sketchy corners—but the one on the right has a better angry face, it's more visually appealing and more intense. There's a lot more rage in those scrawly uneven fists than there is in the smooth flawless fist. I spent a lot of time fussing over her expression on the left and still couldn't get it to look as good as the one I did months earlier with Procreate, because in procreate you can just draw the lines but with vector art you manipulate the curves in strange and esoteric ways.

So I've gotta work to bridge that gap.

and then by god I'll be unstoppable.

Does anyone else ever think about how funny it would be if Leonard McCoy’s “the ex wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce” was literal 🥸 like, okay, but just hear me out 🥸 what if Bones was royalty 🤣 AND NONE OF THE CREW REALIZE BECAUSE THEY THINK HES JUST BEING SARCASTIC 🤣✨✨💃💃

Do you have like a summary of petals somewhere? From what i can understand from the comics its a zosan centric infection au and i wanna know more

Hi, thank you for the question.

Petals was an au for a now defunct fic I was writing earlier this year called “petals, a bloodied tongue” . I had published the first chapter and was working on the second chapter, but due to lack of interest from others and not really knowing what I was doing with a big story I wanted, I deleted it. I did make art for it, as you can see, and some notes when I was trying to map out the story.

You got it mostly right, it is an infection au, though I considered it be more Zoro centric, since I planned it to be told majority from his pov. I got the idea from One Piece Movie 6 Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island and a 2008 film called The Ruins. It was a plant-based horror story with some cosmic elements. I mostly wanted to write a story where Zoro couldn’t really protect anyone. Zoro makes it his job to be the strongest and always protect the crew. But this is something beyond his control and he can’t slash his way through it.

The Strawhats end up on a mysterious island after a strange storm the night before. The island looks peaceful and has weird animals and creatures on it, but overall nice temporary vacation spot. Then Chopper goes missing. Then Nami and Robin. They find Robin, but shes sick? Nami is no where to be seen. So they eventually get picked off one by one. I made a numbered list of who goes first:

And manner of “death”:

The island itself is alive, it is it’s own being/animal. The souls of those that are consumed are trapped at the heart of the island, and their bodies are essentially fertilizers, some people grow into trees, or flowers, etc. There was a scene I wrote as a test run, of zoro finding a tangerine tree, the tangerines taste metallic like blood, and the juice is a red orange. So their blood also runs through the island.

For humans and the like it tends to infect them, they may cough up blood, sweat, hallucinate. They grow weaker in a matter of hours and lose mobility and the ability to speak, as there are plants growing inside them. Eventually they bloom and are consumed by the island.

Majority of the arts I did were scenes from the story, like Zoro giving the flowers to Sanji, Sanji telling Zoro he’s sick, Frobin having a moment.

This is the full layout notes I did:

I had some in between stuff planned, like Robin’s group exploring abandoned ruins which is where they are attacked and Robin is infected. Zoro and Robin have a conversation about some groups believing that when they die they become a star in the sky, so, eventually, they’ll see their loved ones again. Zoro digging into the ground hysterically after he realizes Sanji is gone.

The infection hits Sanji the hardest and slowest because of his genes and he’s the last to leave Zoro.

As for why Zoro never gets infected, I had this weird idea that the island recognizes Zoro as an animal like the island is. This would tie back to Sanji telling Zoro that he “doesn’t think Zoro is a mindless wild animal, even if he fights like one sometimes.”

Also I forgot to post this:

This would be Luffy’s death, but he comes back as the little dancing monkey orchid that Zoro sees when he’s all alone. Zoro believes he has lost it from grief.

Chopper turned into the little bean guys you keep seeing, he’s the one with the broken leaf. He seems to still remember Zoro.

Sanji turns into a field of dandelions and daisies. He got infected when he smelled the flowers Zoro gave him. The field seems to protect Zoro from any hostile animals.

Zoro has these recurring dreams of Sanji running away and leaving him, much to Zoro’s efforts. His final dream Sanji places a hand on Zoro’s heart and smiles and disappears, Zoro wakes up to Sanji gone.

Zoro also sleeps more now, since he sleeps with Sanji. He feels safe with Sanji, so he let’s his guard down.

Here’s chapter one, unfinished two, test run

I am still amazed that Hunter stayed at Tom/Tz house 4-5 times now?

hunterdaya enjoyers never lose, tomdaya enthusiasts never lose, and most of all: huntomdaya visionaries never lose

[crimsonlovebartylus]

I love the idea of Regulus being so in love with Barty that he asks him to carve his chest open, break through his rib cage and slice his pericardium and pull out his beating heart and ask him to eat it, so he could live inside him.

First, I love bears and I'm glad to have found this account

Hiii!!! <333

I was wondering if you can do your oc's interactions with Lynette, Cecil and Joo-yeon (my oc's) if that's okay with you :3

omg hi thanks so much for asking!! i'd be honored to! :—)

lynette

being a female nerd, kitty would be quite respectful and indebted towards lynette. while she tends to handle it quite calmly, she's always had issues being targeted by certain people at bullworth– incidents that were often ignored by crabblesnitch. the power harassment among the prefects and the general lack of consideration for bullying's always bothered her, so she'd be relieved that lynette's actually genuine about wanting to stomp out bullying. i think she'd even go far as to apply to the student council– nothing major, most likely as the secretary or something– just so she can assist lynette in her goals.

cecil

given that they're both in the same clique, they would likely cross paths very often. he actually somewhat reminds me of @crayzdyaln's oc, marcus– who's good friends with kitty– so i can see them getting along! however, while she respects cecil's drive for studying, they'd probably be at a crossroads over their different approaches to academics– while she's logical and similarly does map out her future goals for convenience's sake, kitty's generally quite laidback and takes things as they go; which would likely clash every now and then with cecil's near-insane drive to prove himself. and similarly with marcus, she's not really easily cowed and does things as she feels like if, so she probably wouldn't listen to cecil's "threats" to study (lol).

joo-yeon

you know, i could actually see them being closer than people would expect. while they're both starkly different at face value, they ultimately share certain struggles deep down. where joo-yeon's gender nonconformity is disrespected and used to misgender and masculinize her; kitty's femininity is similarly weaponized against her. a lot of the bullying she's gone through in the past was from boys who thought her to be an "easy target"– too "soft" of a girl to actually fight back. there's also the issue of bullworth being a predominantly white school, and kitty and joo-yeon being among the paltry number of asian students. something that i don't doubt has also been linked to the misogyny against them; like joo-yeon being the "antithesis" to the subservient asian girl stereotype, and kitty being the "perfect example" of it.

as someone who's been alienated numerous times, kitty would seek joo-yeon out in her own weird, introverted way. if joo-yeon doesn't reject her awkward attempts at friendship, i see them realizing the commonalities between them and bonding over it.

If you don't mind sharing, what was your original headcanon name for Bill's dimension? And why did you name it that?

-🥸

Anonymous asked: I'm curious, what was your headcanon name for Bill's dimension before we found out it's Euclydia?

Sure, here it is. Though it wasn't a name for his home dimension; it was a name for his home world. The plane-shaped planet he shows us in Weirdmageddon 3.

So! Consider the name of our own planet. It's earth. You don't even have to capitalize it if you don't want. Literally we named our planet "dirt." If you want to get fancy or science-fictiony, you can call it Terra, but Terra's just the Latin word for "dirt" too. When our ancestors thought about our world, our whole world, what did they think of? The surface we walk upon. The very ground beneath our feet. The word we used to refer to the land itself grew into the word we use to refer to the entire planet.

i'd imagine that if some aliens' name for their planet developed naturally over time, as ours did, it would probably sound similar: humble; simple; a term for the land itself; a term that describes the most common thing they see when they look around.

The name of the bizarre, extravagant, and mighty Bill Cipher's home planet...

...is plane Plain.

(And believe you me, I had plans in future chapters to milk that for all it was worth before I finally revealed it. "Bill, if you had to describe your home world in only one word, what would it be?" "Hm... Plain." "Yeah, it sounds pretty boring.")

I've actually decided I'm gonna keep that name. Euclydia is the name of his home dimension (it's such a grand name, such a formal name; it's the name that the few people who still know of Bill's world know it by; it's a name that was only given posthumously—why would a people who didn't believe there were any dimensions outside their own feel the need to come up with a name identifying their own dimension?—and a name Bill has no emotional connection to except for guilt), and Plain is the name of his home planet (it's so much smaller, so modest, so unimpressive; it's a name no one in all existence, not even the experts on Bill's history, have ever heard; it's the name Bill himself uses for his world).

"Euclydia" is an abstract political entity that was created after its own extinction to define the borders of a massacre. "Plain" is home.

"If you still plan on using 'Plain' for the fic, why are you giving it away now?" do you know how hard it is to keep a joke secret for over a year

[rayix]

Aw thank you! ❤️ Well, don't worry:))) I'll stay alive as long as I can lol. It's just i'm not frequently active (busy and lazy at the same time, sorry 🧍‍♂️), but if people still love my works, then there's no reason to quit:)

Being in this fandom has made me do my things not just because I like it, but because people love it too. That's how the obsession still remains >:)

It goes on for so long and sometimes my friends think I should go get some help lmao

[flodaya]
