#bitches love gradients (im bitches)

[hai-nae]

sometimes you just gotta design a t-shirt for yerself

[starkkawajiri]

im feeling better and i had a brilliant brilliant genius idea scoob. (EXPLANATION BELOW)

okay class what was the author trying to say

fatui harbinger au. SHOCKED EMOJI

sub-au. an AU of an AU (marvel impact) because three things happened to cross paths in my big empty mind:

1. "man i would love an evil stephen au"

2. "man i need to draw genshin mordo"

and 3. "i love the harbingers" and when the idea lit up like a flame in my brain i exploded out of bed

this au consists of the best magic users ever being fatui harbingers (rip traveler) because evil hot and crazy sexy, instead of adding more harbingers they replace already existing ones because one two three enough fatui for me

so basically evil evil magic users au

((before moving on for ppl that do play genshin but dont know much about the fatui harbingers, there's 11 of them and they're ranked based on strength, personally i wouldnt even know how to scale them based on their powers so i didnt touch the ranks, just switched out the characters))

NOW EXPLAINING EACH OF THEM IN ORDER OF THEIR 'RANK' starting with lowkey

Loki is pretty self explanatory, he takes The Tsaritsa's place because cryo archon.... ice...god.....

i was initially planning on making loki take scaramouche's place because i found scara's "YOU'RE INTERRUPTING A CONVERSATION BETWEEN GODS......" dialogue in the sumeru quest so funny and because the idea of loki being a fake-god seemed cool, but her as the cryo archon and overall leader of the fatui was too good to put aside

IMPORTANT NOTE/EDIT: NVM YALL LMFAOOOO I DECIDED (iwas MANIPULATED /j /aimed) TO CHANGE LOKI BACK TO TAKING SCARAMOUCHE'S PLACE there's a lot more things they have in common and it sets an interesting dynamic between him and other characters in this au, including thor ("better version of him"), strange (using loki as a vessel to create a god) etc

Wong's the baddest bitch in this post theres no other explanation

im (half)joking (hes so fine) theres an explanation

it was between that and making him take Il Capitano's place, which would have been Rank 1, and he would have still ranked higher than everyone else (besides Loki) so i looked at their wikis .

The Director (Pierro) handpicked certain Harbingers, two of which being Il Dottore and La Signora (in this au, Strange and Wanda) so that was just the stars aligning for this au

Strange's gotta be even more self-explanatory than Loki's

il dottore. the doctor.

need i say more (no but i will)

i need at least 34084 aus of this man being evil idk i cant control myself

Sufian and Zandik (Dottore) already had a lot in common or parallel in the marvel impact au, both expelled students from the Akademiya, positive/negative relations with the dendro archon, man kissers, insert il dottore wiki

i want him to be scary and feared now and then, is that too much for a man to want from another man (rip eleazar patients)

clea had to be arlecchino/the knave because. because

clea in a suit primary excuse

arlecchino's cool hair secondary excuse

woman kisser back-up excuse

theres little to no explanation here i just sensed it spiritually (arlecchino is the best ily arlecchino) + the theory about arlecchino being half-hilichurl?? or something like that? because of the cool gradient on her skin, which is rlly awesome, so non-human bonus points

need more insane, cold, calculated, manipulative, insane, insane, deceiving, insane women sometimes

mordo he exists hes here save me mordo

im gonna be so fr with you guys rn

pulcinella is just there, i forget he exists often times

only mordo can fix that

after deciding on making Wong the Director, i considered making Mordo take Il Capitano's place or Pantalone's/The Regrator's, but i was really really unsure, he didn't seem to fit either of them and by making him take the Regrator's place I would be putting him in a rank that is wayy too low (9) and considering how little there is about Pulcinella (literally almost nothing), I would have a lot of creative freedom

wanda had to be one of the easiest to sort out....la signora..... alternatively "crimson witch".......? come on they forced my hand atp

im so sorry red bisexual i didnt want you to get such a low rank (8) i had no other choice

la signora is such a badass im tired of pretending shes not (+her Crimson Witch form is amazing)

consumed by grief and anguish, destroying themselves in the process? they twin

fandom theories about their resurrection? they twin

that was it i love being normal about any interest i have . ever

Chapter 6

HOSEOK BITCH STOP GRANDMA???? THATS A STRETCH AND KNOWING U ARE AN ANCIENT BEING, DAMN I-

Hoseok stumbles, colliding with Seokjin’s chest. ofc he laughs with his entire body FUCK I MISS HIM WTF NAH NOPE WE WONT CRY WE MUST STAY FOCUSED BROTHER

JIN U BETRAYED ME??? HOW COULD YOU

Seokjin pleads, giving you the biggest puppy eyes that man hates aegyo on command, but watch his ass do aegyo on command if its on run bts tasks 😭 ik he will be the most supportive one if you told bts you are selling feet pics

who calls their fraternity Alpha? What kind of superiority complex do they have?” 💯fr

What are you? Secret vampires or something?” um

So mysterious”, Hoseok says, ok ig

“that man can be an asshole.” WHAT DO U MEAN MY KITTY IS AN ASSHOLE????

dig his metaphorical fangs into your neck and drain you of your metaphorical blood WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? (ik what it means, but 👀👀)

at least she got her sleep and is stress free now, i guess thats a win

JAMAL CHILL?? OOH JIN TELL EM SIS, WHATS HIS PROBLEM?

they are quaking with the desire to punch each other’s faces in. BE LESBIAN, PROBLEM SOLVED YEEHAW

Without me? homie really said that with his whole chest

It’s one of those activities you like to call terribly boring." ??? sir ??

also u know what, i will make it unboring for you real quick, lets go on a pirate ship, that will make u scream

dont judge my man yall, he was giving birth to lie on the pirate ship

WHAT DID TAE TELL HIM???? JAMAL SMILED AT ME??? his moodswings be like ➡️⬅️⬆️⬇️↗️↘️↙️↖️↕️↔️🔄️↪️↩️⤴️⤵️🔃

joon asks me out to study AAAAAAH 😩

holding his arm before you giggle into it. *twitching eyes WHY SHE GOTTA LIVE MY DREAM AAH BUTTER TAE THOSE ARMSS 🤤😋

“Oh you’re still here?” Taehyung asks STOP HE IS SOO SASSY, GIVE THAT MAN LONG NAILS

making Taehyung chuckle.......... one of his weirdly dishonest ones. tae when jin forces him to laugh at puns (that still makes me cackle)

He is a self-centred peacock PEACOCK DAMN GURL

“Violence is never the answer IT IS THE SOLUTION

ok sorry tae, back to serious mode, IS THAT FORESHADOW TO HIS PAST(mentioned in drabbles)

we are going swing dancing today UWUW

I can’t dance. What if I make a fool of myself?” I CANT DANCE EITHER, LETS GET MARRIED we can swing dance together for shits and giggles and get drunk in each other's laughter and smile, kissing passionately as if we are still in high school.

(omg that was so romantic, lemme just copy that)

did i tell you i still love the way he talks, its so coquette, in a manly way

I am a terrible student. i got exams in a month i have barely studied 😃😭

time does really fly fr it does, you wish it went fast, but when you think back, you wish you could live in that moment one more time

“cake is quite the delicacy oof the fanciness

ah yes old stuff *sighs in delight and coziness

There is fog in the air. It got stuck on the rooftops of the houses. Like a perfect gradient it makes them disappear into a grey nothingness. if this scene was on tv, what color light would it have?? (background lights you know) i was thinking of yellow, since we are talking about antiques

“I guess…” you look out the window for quite some time to think of an answer. You look at the perfectly polished stones of the sidewalk. You watch how the rain builds little rivers in the nooks and crannies. And that is when you get your answer. and the lights slowly becomes cool and blue (blue for calm, unity and stability)

thats a nice perspective of history but for the love of god, i cant stay awake or mentally present during it 😭

With your cheeks burning up like crazy and a big smile on your face you look out of the window again. A swing song comes on the radio, Taehyung turns it louder the tiniest bit. AND THE LIGHTS TURN PINK

“N-no? I-I’m alright”, you stutter. we can see that

Taehyung gets a few (probably painful) steps on his toes, but he doesn’t say anything. MASOCHIST ALERT 😭

stop flattering me im shyyyyy *shakes booty like jimin

this is so cute bye im soo single

“this was like in the movies! Do it again!” SHE IS SOO CUTE UWUW MOVE TAE SHE IS MINE *hits the gym so i can yeet tae out of the way and carry her

HE DID IT AGAIN HEEEHEEEEHEHHE

“Okay but that throwing thing you did? You can’t just do that without training first. Also why are you so strong? It’s inhuman really.” SAY IT SIS

I just think you are beyond precious”BYE IM GONE

Why do an elderly lady and Taehyung know each to such extent that they are hugging as if they were two old friends reuniting? dont overthink, they are just besties, um they met on a idk metro yeah

“it’s been so many years and yet you still look the same. While look at me”, OBVIOUSLY ITS SUS

Perhaps I should have taken the offer back then.” 👀👀

“What offer?” um the plastic surgery offer, anti aging laser. HERBS YEAH IT WAS THE HERBS, SHE MISSED OUT ON AN HERBAL MASSAGE

No way! That’s splendid! Just what you dreamt of!” they are such cute besties pls

It is hard not to choke on your olive, not when your body is burning up like that. i choked on air

How is it?” WHY IS THIS SOO HOT STOP DONT FOLD THAT FAST BITCH NA UH *also folds like a lawn chair in a sec

Taehyung gets off the barstool and closes the distance between you and him. SIR MY MENTAL HEALTH???

you stutter, knees buckling slightly as he helps you stand up. SLIGHTLY???? u mean buckling like a trying on heels

You haven’t told anyone ever but in your dreams you always pictured your prince charming to be good with elderly people and kids. Not that you would tell anyone your stupid fantasies, but you really did picture him like that. we all do, tae is a prince charming *sighs in high standards

“I think you gave that lady proper heart palpitations fr, i got so giddy just reading

And so full of life”, 👀👀👀as opposed to what sir???

Taehyung seems properly flustered for a moment, eyes flitting downwards and blinking rapidly. YES WE GOT THE CUTIE PIE FLUSTERED YEEHAW THIS IS A WIN FOR THE GAYS AND UNGAYS (i love to use this in sentences unrelated to sexuality)

quite sad to think that we are looking at something which has died thousands of years ago ... Well if you say it like that mood sis

it is nice to know that we can look at the past when we look at the stars?” waaaah im in love with her

I always thought of them as a reminder of death”, “or rather hell.” AYO??👀👀

they are still burning bright. Mustn’t it be such a burden to never get to rest?” ooh

*starts playing love maze

“Then you mess up, you mustn’t worry about mistakes you haven’t even made yet” i will try to remember this all the time

because right now I am thinking that this lamp is also alone, surrounded by darkness and thick fog and it should feel so terribly lonely and yet here it is, outshining both of them." 

HOW DO U WRITE THIS WELL?? LEAVE US SOME TALENT CRUMBS

People normally aren’t happy when they are around you and finally experiencing it feels so good.  WHO HURT YOU POOKIE??? IM COMING WITH MY FRYING PAN

this is soo cute i cant, the writing, them, the lamp and the stars gosh, i feel so giddy i wanna spin around the lamppost like a simp does in music videos

Yes darling” Taehyung whispers and there is obvious seduction in his voice. OHO HO HO I SEE U NAUGHTY BOI

this was a cute chapter im gonna sleep soo good with idk grass and unicorns in my dreams

HOSEOK BITCH STOP GRANDMA???? THATS A STRETCH AND KNOWING U ARE AN ANCIENT BEING, DAMN I-

lmoaoao he is so mean for no reason fajsdfja I love him JFAJDFJ

Hoseok stumbles, colliding with Seokjin’s chest. ofc he laughs with his entire body FUCK I MISS HIM WTF NAH NOPE WE WONT CRY WE MUST STAY FOCUSED BROTHER

LISTEN I MISS HIM TOO OMFG I'M IN PAIN

Seokjin pleads, giving you the biggest puppy eyes that man hates aegyo on command, but watch his ass do aegyo on command if its on run bts tasks 😭 ik he will be the most supportive one if you told bts you are selling feet pics

I miss him so much 😭 BUT ALSO LESS THAN A MONTH TILL HE IS BACK OMGMGMG (the most supportive for feet pics would be Tae though change my mind. you can't.)

[crescentfool]

my art summary for 2023! this year was very all over the place for me, but i'm glad to say that i've created despite personal hardships (that were mostly unrelated to art) 🥺 thank you everyone for taking a look at my work this year! 💙 i hope 2024 will be just as fun! 🎉

some documentation of my feelings about art this year under the cut:

i think i was way too hard on myself this year with my art. and i am sitting here like. "goddamn dude. why would you do that to yourself for. stop that LOL"

honestly i would go in a time machine to give myself a pat on the back for drawing SPLATOON for the first time in like 6 years or something. trying to learn the proportions and figuring out how i wanted to draw splatoon was very hard. and i still don't know what i want my splatoons to look like!

i remember back in late 2019 i would bitch to my friend that i didn't understand how face anatomy worked and i would tell her how it was the end of the world. but as i drew more i eventually understood faces better (and i'm still learning!). funny how that works! so i like to think my sploons will be like this too :D

the other thing i would have told 2023 me: overthink less about the learning process. maybe it's because i have way too much free time on my hands but. when i'm not actively drawing i have a lot of analysis paralysis and perfectionism. so i end up not starting anything out of my comfort zone even if it's just for practice because my brain is so hung up on trying to "learn new things optimally" and making things "good enough." and. i. guys.

pleasepleasepleaseplease don't do that to yourself its NOT GOOD!! give urself permission to fuck up and make pieces that dont work out!! u can always revisit the concept later u dont have to do it perfectly the first time!! please!!! i am giving myself and anyone else reading permission to fuck up in creative endeavors. woo!!! i love making mistakes and fixing them later!!

THAT SAID for the things i did sit down and do, i like them (like the pieces here!)! and i'm glad i did them because its like! woaw! more data to work with! so im hoping to do more of that next year! sit down and let art come out! not everything needs to be bangers! things will click eventually! trust!!

so my goal for 2024 is to draw things out of my comfort zone (mostly backgrounds, maybe comics) even if it looks shite!!! no more fucking grid and gradient we are putting characters in LOCATIONS!!! and as a fun bonus it would be funny if each of my pieces in my art summary next year looks like it was made by a different person. because i think its funny to do that. and u should make urself laugh while doing anything :D (i love silly!!! yay!! yipee!! wahoo!!)

[breakfastwithbeb]

hii! this is the mac/vanilla anon. may i know how did you make your build/gameplay screenies looks so pretty, vibrant and looks like they have dof? your screenies straight up look like you have reshade on and im so. WOAH<333 sorry if this ask sounds so weird but i play on mac too and my game looks so atrocious HSJFKEJFJ

oh my gOD thank u so much that is the nicest compliment i could ever receive 😭<3 i totally understand the game looking like pure garbage it's tough out there for mac players 💔 here's my

~editing process of a sad mac user~

i use Photopea to edit everything. free and online, what's not to love!

oil paint filter with a radius of 0.8 to 1, lighting off

smart sharpen with a radius of 1.4 (these first two steps don't often do too much but can smooth out the edges of the pixels without having to play with edge smoothing on)

i like a bit of chromatic aberration so i go into channels, select red, and apply a lens correction filter of 3 (go back to regular channel afterwards)

to fake DOF - i use the quick selection tool and mess around with it until the foreground or preferred focus of the image is selected (doesn't have to be totally perfect, often times people won't be looking that close). then inverse the selection and apply lens blur, typically with a radius of 12 to 15 ----- (the selection part can be a real bitch - sometimes there just isn't enough contrast between the foreground and the background for Photopea to understand which specific section ur trying to select. in cases where it rlly refuses to work i've had to go in and use the polygonal lasso select tool and manually trace what i want to be in focus akjsdhfj)

apply photoshop actions to adjust colours - lately pretty much the only one i've been using is wooldawn's warmerfalls sometimes combined with intramoon's bright and saturated

sometimes i will apply a gradient fill layer (often the purple to orange one) and set the blending mode to luminosity, opacity 12 if there's a light source that i want to emphasise a little more. it also just adds a nice softening effect

for funky rainbow effects - look up "rainbow light leak overlay" and download any u like the look of. open and place them on top of ur image, fit them to size, change the blending option to exclusion, lower the opacity to desired outcome. to make the colours of the rainbow *pop* a lil more i like to duplicate the layer and change the blending option to overlay, though u may have to lower the opacity of this layer even more as it darkens the image quite a bit

i add a film dust texture over a lot of my posts! i downloaded a set a while back but i don't remember where from, sorry :( there are a bunch out there if u look it up i'm sure!

and that's about it! it seems like a lot written out but i'm self taught and technologically inept so it's all actually pretty basic when u know where all the buttons are in Photopea heh ;D thanks again for liking my posts!! it means the world u have no idea <3

Hazbin Hotel Episode 1: Overture

hello i am back with a New Update on things to react to, and i thought Hazbin Hotel would be the perfect place to start since all episodes were fully released a few days ago! and also EVERYBODY i know has been bugging me about watching this show and now i FINALLY have the time to!!

spoilers under the cut

wow barely a few seconds in and i can already tell that the music is gonna be So Banger

wow okay so the opening exposition is Super Interesting

just wanna say the animation is also Fantastic in this section but ooh the lore drops

i really love the way the angels are stylized here, and how its all in black and white with accents of gold (except Lucifer who has a very light red gradient in his wings)

and also its the way that More color is brought on screen by Lucifer only oooh

oohh and the way that red gradient turns gray when the angels are like, disapproving of his ideas

its So Funny how Adam fumbled his first wife So Hard that she ran away and fell in love with someone else then his second wife got convinced by the First Wife and Her New Love LMFAOO

MAN this makes me feel SO Bad for Lucifer and i feel Conflicted as someone raised christian but like. i feel bad for him they do say that the road to hell was paved with good intentions

also Lilith thriving on the evil stuff like you Go Girlboss

these are So Pretty to look at

aww Charlie and Vaggie are So Cute

SEVEN YEARS? ouch seven years without hearing anything from her mom

omg they are So Cute

OMG THIS IS SO CUTE

damn the ominous Ringing of the Bell in the only angelic-like structure of hell

BYE ALASTOR'S AD.....

"Founded five days ago by Lucifer's ~delusional~ daughter!"

"As she tries to work through her daddy issues by fixing you!" STOPPPP NAHHH THATS FOULL

the shaky camera i cant

"HAHA I NAMED IT" LMFAOOOO yeah you sure did buddy

incredible, they dont have A Working Phone

their faces LMFAOO

love that Alastor is bad at TV commercials because he's like... a radio host. the radio demon. he is Decidedly Not a TV Guy

also can i just say that the animation is So Smooth and So Fluid like wow i could rewatch the way each character moves 100 times and that is NOT exaggeration

help he is So Mad that they arent doing a radio show

ok actually Angel Dust's voice is really good like?? idk something about it is just Fun to listen to

Charlie trying to be So Nice is extremely entertaining

OMG HUSK !! HIS VOICE HELP !! it fits So Well

also shoutout to the background music

omg Angel Dust has got a little heart spot on the back of his head thats really really cute

aww Charlie is so cute

OOH A SONG ALREADY

LMFAOO "That bitch is halfway down the street!" i love Angel's goofy little smile as he says it also Amazing how the fuck did she get over there so quickly????

i love Charlie's and Vaggie's voice

"They're bloodthirsty and deranged!" <- really funny that this is being said about angels

he is a Hologram hey this guy's An Asshole what the fuck did Charlie ever do to you

new reaction image she looks so done with his bullshit im cackling

i can already tell that the new commercial is Not gonna go well

HEKSDJKSDN ANGEL DUST "I need a big strong daddy to put me in my place... on the path to redemption!" THE CHANGE IN TONE I CANNOT

oh ok so this Asshole Angel Guy is adam

"I'm the original dick!" BRO???? HELP?? IM ?? this does not sound like Angelic Behavior anyways what The Fuck is he even on about

the fact that he specifically calls out Climate Change as Earth's Problem, but not HERPES?? implies that angels get herpes i guess????

HELFHLDKJ I CANT Hazbin Hotel is KILLING it with the facial expressions

there is not One Thought behind that eye new reaction image

its okay Nifty you're trying your best

there are just Too Many good reaction images and memes spawned from just this One episode

Alastor is So Mad and Bitter about TV

BRUH the way he couldve done all that The Whole Time but he didnt because he Hates tv 😭😭

also wtf Nifty's giant now

well... at least Vaggie and the Hotel Gang are having a better time than Charlie with this Asshole Angel Guy

"I've never made a mistake in my fucking life" says the guy who fucked up so bad that he had to get a second wife

fuck this song is banger BUT i hate adam

DAMN "And for those of us with divine ordainment/Extermination is entertainment!" fuck when he sings it it goes So Hard but like aw :(( what The Fuck Heaven

WTF THEY MOVED IT EARLIER ????? WHY ??

help Alastor just glitching on screen

oh what The Fuck theyre moving it earlier cuz somehow a demon killed an angel? and theyre gonna kill ALL OF THE DEMONS????? WHAT

and thats the end of the episode im.

wow well. honestly it was REALLY good and i am so excited to watch the rest of the series

unfortunately i have to go now, bye i will be back with my reactions to the second episode! tomorrow (hopefully)

farewell, folks!

[hematomes]

im delaying anemo bc it's gonna tear me apart fr so. electro

#10 regrettably they are extremely forgettable, 2/10: yae

i hope she makes up for it in skills bc on god these are bland as hell. once again, do better. extra point for being a lesbian (#ally)

#9 it pains me but i have to stay true to myself, 3/10: razor

these gloves are ugly. he's forgiven because god knows for how long he's been wearing them but they're ugly. the color sucks and the thumb is too light. he gets an extra point for the goofy yawn tho. and a kiss on the nose bc he's still my son(in law)

#8 i don't have much to say, 4.5/10: keqing

this made me realize she has a very pretty design tho. i like the colors, it's kinda minimalistic but the gradient makes it cool. good job

#7 i don't remember how her og outfit looks like, 5/10: fischl

i like the rings. it's not much but i like the rings

#6 afraid to rank her there bc of her obsession with the number 5, sorry queen, 5.5/10: sara

girl just can't win. i kinda like it but it looks clunky. i couldn't hold it comfortably yk, and that's what im looking for here. it suits her tho, untouchable deity. good job still

#5 favorite alcoholic, 6/10: beidou

also kinda clunky but less, and the design makes up for it. when she cracks her knuckles im torn between moaning and cringing at the noise. don't crack your knuckles in front of me

#4 couldn't keep her massive titty out of frame, 6.5/10: lisa

it's simple but it works. she's really elegant with her fingers too, so extra point. love her, can't wait to see and get her skin

#3 of course she made it to the top 3 she's that bitch, 8/10: kuki

her hands aren't the best feature of her design but still worthy of an 8. two-toned gloves, not all of her fingers are covered AND nail polish? gave me everything i wanted here. only issue is how small her hands are. i like long hands sorry

#2 the archon herself, godly hands indeed, 9/10: ei/raiden shogun

ik it's the puppet but she has the exact same model so whatever. love the little glove and how gentle she is with the bird. this is also making me realize that the reason we don't have a bird idle with wanderer is either bc yae's kitsune ate it or bc yae and ei forgot abt it. so she gets an angsty point and im gonna go cry

#1 to no one's surprise again, he slayed 10/10: cyno

look at these. the claws. ngh. forget abt his feet LOOK AT HIS HANDS. id happily let him cut me open with these. i don't even know what to say that wouldn't be viciously horny. tighnari is a lucky man

speaking of tighnari since we don't have many dendro characters rn im not ranking them but he'd be #1 no matter who comes after solely bc of the little beans on the inside of his gloves. no one tops that. im literally obsessed with it

[jhoons]

1 year of making gifs

channel mixer: back then i didn't know how to isolate colours at all but that changed after i decided to finally wrestle with channel mixer and learn how it works (half the time im just clicking random stuff until smth works but yea).

colour balance: also changed my life. my shadows don’t look a weird colour anymore god bless, i used to use selective colour to adjust certain areas but it never worked

selective colour: easiest to use and still my main bitch. love u queen 

gradient map: only learned how to properly use it this week lmao but it gives the same effect as when i use cb and cm to correct the skin colour, minus the going back and forth with reds and yellows

sharpening: a lot different process from before but looks similar and still shit (?). still hate high pass but still use it bc it makes gifs clear. i love soft gifs but like high gradient colouring and i dont think those two go together so im still tryna figure it out

quality: still grainy bc of my colouring (i love vibrant gifs and tumblr hates them), love that for me

[theonewhowails]

@faeriefrog-blog asked how i did the funny colours on these bad boys so i've broken it down into a few steps!!! starting with the bottom most layers:

very bottom layer, just above the paper itself, we've got the background shading seen in the bottoms images here, panels 3-5 in the comic. note that without any effects applied to it, it is the same colour as the shadows, a deep teal hue. i like to keep all the shadows around the same hue for the sake of cohesion, even though these end up being altered quite a lot in the final product

a note about the base paper layer!! its not actually pure white, but very very light grey. sometimes i make it a slightly darker grey if im feeling dramatic. this keeps the focus on the figures on the foreground probably, and allows the paper layer to interact just a little bit more with colour altering layers above it (overlay layers, for example, dont do SHIT to pure white)

above the paper, the bg shading, and the sketch layer i was too lazy to remove, we've got the blocking ive put down so that the lamb, the speech bubbles, and the sweet elderly koala theyre about to yeet into the great beyond are both not grey and not fading into dark teal. this layer probably wouldnt be here if it was fully coloured!!! however, i love not doing things :]

then theres the one-colour colour layer, and the lineart, of course, normal stuff, and then the topmost layer in this chunk is the figure shading. this can be put above or below the lines if you prefer, since it wont be at full opacity anyways. teal is a pretty strong feature in the cotl palette, esp in toww's domain, so i tend to shade with teal a lot here. not much details of variation in shading strength is applied here, the only notable exception being the bell which i straight up just could not resist making all shiny. since the shading is blocked in with a sketchy pencil brush i use for like all of my art steps, it creates the idea of texture without much real effort.

directly above the shading we have this shit:

shown at normal and full opacity because i need to emphasize these are literally just gradient ovals of pale yellow and it looks silly but:

set that bitch to around 50% opacity and make it an overlay layer and it adds some light and depth to the shaded areas!! note that as i stated before, it is now completely invisible on the sections that are blocked in white, and has little effect on on the black lineart. it doesnt have to be super detailed or precise, but just have the gradient positioned in a way that suggests a source of light

finally, the topmost two layers:

the gradient map here i what i use for most of my cotl stuff, though i poke and prod at it with every image to ensure the shadows are deep and the red is vivid. then duplicate that layer, make the bottom layer somewhere around 50% opacity, and make the topmost layer an overlay. i dont know with any fancyboy words WHY this specifically works; as best as i can figure, the bottom layer applies the colours, while the upper layer improves contrast and colour depth while keeping it within the colour scheme

thats it!!! once you get used to using overlays and gradients, this becomes quite simple, which is nice because i can use these tricks on top of a little low-energy doodle i did about old people murder and have it come out really nice still!!! i love things that save me time and energy!! if you do too, i hope this is helpful!! :]

SELF LOVE TIME BITCH

17, 6, 29, 25, 4

😘

17 ) fairy lights or LED lights

fairy lights 100%. i want to decorate fairy lights in each room to create a little twinkle and soft gradient of warmth throughout the entire home.

6 ) say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical)

first of all, thats six things. and how dare you do this to me. the three physical - my eyes are a pretty color? (hazel, technically, my mom always called them gold) uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i like my freckles? and uhm... ive got weirdly nice legs? this was harsh, i dont like my body a whole lot so i struggle with this. the three non-physical - i do actually like the fact that i have a lower voice. i know lower voices arent super common in afab people so i do like that i have one and can force it lower. i actually dont know if that counts as a non-physical. uhm...... i like that i have one of those minds that can visualize an entire scene with 100% detail when it comes to items, stories, etc. and.... i guess.... i like.... mmmmmyyyy.... i feel selfish for saying these things. like, arrogant? but i guess i like my empathic connections. to the people around me, to the people beyond. i hated that. never make me do that again.

29 ) morning, afternoon, or night

i am an early bird. i think i answered this with someone else (i think it was eto?) about this. and my answer still stands:

25 ) what's the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc)

something i can use. i am a person of hands, textiles, use. a lot of the times i struggle with buying myself something now because i dont know what to *do* with it, as in tchotchke type things. if its something i can *use* then i know they care. because, again, im a person of doing things. so this could include like, a handcarved spoon or spatula, a custom painted ceramic plate or bowl, a quilt of different textiles that i can feel and connect with, a spun mug, things i can *use*, that will get *use*, that will feel the struggles and efforts of life and gain their own scars and mends and care for the things i do.

4 ) what flower would you like to be given

somewhere, i think i have my favourite flowers listed. i dont recall where (might be on the main blog), but my favourites are forget-me-nots and ranunculous. stars of bethlehem and canterbury bells. but ranunculous is probably what i would like to be given of them all as theyre the largest of the bunch. maybe with some hydrangeas. blood red sunflowers. black dahlias. fern fronds. lemon and orange blossoms. many a things.

Episode 2

5 am. It’s early, too early for you at least. You never were a morning person, but for this job you had to make sacrifices to make certain aspects fall into place. The sun was just starting to creep over the horizon creating a dusty gradient of orange, red, and pink to engulf the cloudless sky. You groaned internally as you pulled into the underground garage navigating up to the top floor of the garage to park. You had a personal parking spot right next to your boss’s spot, that was adjacent to the floor’s elevator to conveniently get you up to the office as quickly as possible.

Being a personal assistant was challenging, but you loved how you were often required to think on your toes and how no matter what you were tasked out with there was always SOMETHING that needed to be done. But... your boss for the past year, was something else. Naoya Zenin. You’ve learned to maneuver around him without upsetting him too often over time, but he actually was slime. As long as you did everything right you weren’t on the receiving end of his arsenal. That meant that sometimes you had to be stern. You had to be mean. Or even sometimes you had to be a bitch to make sure that your boss, the calculating, misogynistic, asshole didn’t chew you out on the daily.

He liked you, at least you assumed so. At least he had moved on from insulting you daily and blatantly stating the obvious that you were a woman and “women” should know their place in this terrible world. You clicked your tongue, in annoyance stepping out of the black company car. Being sure to grab your belongings and his black coffee from the center console’s cup holder.

Standing up right you headed over towards the elevator, nudging the car door with your hip before departing. The up button illuminated upon pushing it while you waited patiently for the elevator to show up. You were exhausted, but appreciative that it was Friday. Weekends were your personal days so long as you finished everything you needed to prepare for the following week.

Rocking back on the balls of your feet you smiled to yourself thinking about the evening you had planned. You had a “date”. You were crossing your fingers for some much-needed company and alone time with someone of the opposite sex who was not Naoya. Visibly you scowled at the thought.

It’s not that Naoya Zenin wasn’t attractive, as a matter of fact he was very attractive. He was probably every woman’s dream, in regards to his physical appearance. He was tall, blonde, and he was solid. You’ve seen him without a shirt on in more than one occasion, and that man must treat his body like a temple because it was gorgeous. Strong lean biceps, abs, and a perfectly chiseled jaw line.

The only downside was his attitude. The way he talked down to people to include women was a complete turn off. He absolutely loved to be condescending, he seemed to revel in the reactions he got as well.

The doors to the elevator parted to reveal an empty car, and you stepped inside pushing the number 20, for the executive floor. Your ID badge went into the card reader right after and the doors closed on themselves the car starting to move through the elevator shaft.

The elevator came to a slow halt and the double doors opened up smoothly, jerking back into their compartments and you exited making a beeline for the office located in the rear of the floor. The fluorescent lighting was still dim and the floor was completely empty aside from yourself.

Bending at the waist you gingerly sat the venti coffee cup down on a black square table coaster on the center table inside the waiting lounge. You placed your duffel bag along with your satchel down on the table as well, flipping open it’s flap to fish out your cellphone.

Naoya hardly ever came into work this early, but since he hadn’t actually gotten any sleep the night before he thought it to be wise. He had company over that came in the form of one busty platinum blonde and one busty brunette. They were a hand full for sure and it was extremely out of character for him to make time to “play” during the week.

The elevator doors retracted for a second time with Naoya stepping off briskly beginning to walk towards his office. He slowed down to a halt when he caught a glimpse of you bending over the glass table top of the small table in the middle of the room. The navy-blue pencil skirt you wore fit snugly against your bottom half obscenely accentuating the curve of your ass.

Out of all of the assistants that he could have hired, he chose you. There were plenty of attractive women that applied for the job, but 90% of them didn’t have any idea how to organize, plan, and schedule. You proved to be proficient and you worked well under pressure. His own constant nagging and degradation didn’t seem to bother you either, you never talked back. There was always a simple nod in confirmation and going above and beyond to get it done.

It caught him off guard, not the first thing he expected to see first thing in the morning. He watched as you stood upright again shifting all of your weight onto one stiletto adorn foot, once you retrieved the phone out of your bag. Holding it in your left hand, your right one shifted to adjust the cream floral printed silk blouse pulling the bunched fabric back up on your shoulders.

Naoya thought you were an attractive woman, and had you not been his personal assistant he probably would have fucked you a long time ago. You always came into the office looking your best, not overly sultry but still smartly dressed and in compliance with the dress code. He studied your expression as you unlocked your phone, lips pursed with your perfectly arched brows coming together in concentration.

Why was he leering at his personal assistant so early in the morning? Maybe it’s the alcohol still in his system. Shaking himself from his own thoughts, he resumed walking muffling a quick word before stalking towards his office.

“Morning.” Naoya mumbled as he resumed his stride, eyeing the way your top exposed the skin of your shoulders.

Snapping your head around, your eyes followed your boss as he opened up his office door. Slightly taken aback you picked up his coffee and proceeded to follow him into his office.

“Ah, Mr. Zenin. Good morning.” You smiled brightly as you placed his coffee down on his desk, it was still slightly warm from the short walk up. You stared, your smile slipping off of your face. Blinking slowly, you scrutinized his disheveled appearance pursing your lips in disapproval. Eyes going from his wrinkled suit jacket to the smudges of what looked to be foundation and lipstick on the collar of his button up underneath. It was clear what he was doing last night, and by the looks of it he didn’t take the time to clean up.

Naoya sat in his chair behind his desk and grabbed the cup of coffee you placed in front of him taking a quick sip. He looked tired, but still pleasant to look at. Eyes blood shot and dark bags seated underneath his eyes.

Naoya’s steeled gaze shifted from his idling computer screen back to your face as you stood in front of his desk as your eyes darted over him from head to toe.

“You’re staring, Y/N.” chided Naoya.

Your cheeks went red as cleared your throat, slightly embarrassed. You intertwined your fingers together in front of you resting them tightly against your abdomen. Wetting your lips, you began to speak.

“Hopefully, I’m not crossing the line Mr. Zenin.. but you look... -” Naoya’s eyes narrowed and you stopped talking immediately. Clearing your throat, you began again with a list of appointments he had scheduled for the day.

“I have your dry cleaning in my office, you’ll need to change out of that.” You smiled sweetly, emphasizing the last word of your sentence. “And don’t forget that you have your meeting with Mr. Matsumoto today at 9 AM for his closing.”

Naoya visibly rolled his eyes as he shifted his attention from your face down to your collarbones that peeked out over the fabric of your blouse. Slumping back into his chair he half listened while he made mental notes of the way you looked while you spoke and continued to drink the coffee he had been nursing earlier.

Your hands had gone to resting at the curve of your hip, and you bit your lip thoughtfully while shooting glances towards the ceiling as you elaborated on your explanations. You were a very animated person, especially when you talked. The tips of your french manicure tapping idly at your chin or faintly nibbling on the tip of your nail before contemplating what to add.

He looked exhausted. And possibly drunk? He was paying you an ungodly amount of attention this morning, at least with his eyes he was. You didn’t miss the way they lingered on your face or on other places of your body as you stood there. Shifting uncomfortably, you glanced at your watch just to put your attention on anything else. He didn’t say another word, his jaw setting tightly once you finished talking. You assumed that meant he had heard you.

“Can I get you anything before I start running errands?” He still said nothing, only sighing as if exasperated running a hand through his messy blonde hair. “I have some ibuprofen if you need it sir.”

Finally, he responded placing a hand on his forehead before folding over on the desk and resting his head down on its surface.

“Just get out and wake me up in two hours.” Nodding you turned to take your leave. “And bring me another black coffee when you get back.”

You closed the door after you stepped out of the office retrieving your own items before heading towards your own office. The lights were now brightly lit, and a few of the other employees were starting to mill onto the floor for work. That included Naoya’s secretary, Liana. Liana was a cute shy little thing, but she always made the best of any situation.

She had just sat down at her desk outside of Naoya’s office, inserting her common access card into the card reader on her computer. Stopping by her desk you leaned your hip against it placing a hand on her shoulder before you began to speak.

“Good morning, Liana, Mr. Zenin is in his office taking a nap. I’ll be back in two hours to get him up, so hold all calls until after his 9am meeting. He’s having a bad morning.”

Liana’s brown eyes opened wide as she turned towards you nodding in acknowledgement. “Yes, of course Miss F/N.” Smiling you stood upright and grabbed your own things before heading off to your own smaller office next door to Naoya’s.

Removing your iPad from your satchel you sat down in your office chair and began to take care of a few administrative tasks that you needed to have done before the weekend. Exactly two hours later you found yourself back at Naoya’s office with his dry cleaning and black coffee lightly rapping on the door before entering.

Pushing the door open you stepped in closing the door behind you. Naoya was standing in the middle of his office with his back facing you running a dark towel through his damp hair attempting to dry it. Pausing you stood in place holding his dry cleaning against your bosom your lips parting to dampen them with your tongue.

He was shirtless again, sporting a pair of snug fitting grey sweatpants. Broad shoulders shifting accordingly as he continued to drag the damp towel throughout his partially dried hair. Thick cords of muscle flexing as his arms went back and forth. Your mouth had gone dry for a second time. Why was he so perfect? You were literally gawking at him but masked your interest with simple indifference as he turned to face you.

Naoya smirked as he draped the towel he was using over the back of his office chair, giving you full display of his well-defined abdominal muscles. Holy.. You smiled tightly, a bit of heat rising to your cheeks as you stepped forward.

“I have your suit Mr. Zenin.” You draped it over the sectional that was aligned next to the door and sat his coffee down on his desk. “I’ll leave you to get ready for your meeting, I forwarded your itinerary to your email and your schedule for next week for your trip to Akasaka.”

Turning on your heel you reached for the door handle, pulling it open only to have it slammed shut by a heavy palm coming from behind you. Startled you staggered on your heels and glanced over your shoulder bringing your attention back to your boss; who had crossed the room now looming over you.

Smiling sheepishly, you cleared your throat becoming slightly uncomfortable at his close proximity.

“Mr. Zenin?”

Naoya hovered above you, dimly lit grey eyes staring down into your own. His right hand was still pressed against the door with no more of an inch of space between the two of you. His gaze was intense, those grey eyes roving over every inch of your exposed skin.

“Naoya.” he said “Call me Naoya when we’re alone.”

Your throat grew tight as his hungry gaze bounced from your glossed lips down to the crevice of your throat. He was making you nervous, and you cast your gaze off anywhere else in the room silently hoping that he’d put some distance between you both. Instead Naoya grasped hold of your jaw firmly, bringing your attention back to lock eyes with his own. He grinned slyly as he looked down at you, his calloused thumb grazing over your bottom lip.

“Say it.” he ordered.

You paused briefly at the demand, unsure if he was serious or not. His eyes narrowed slightly in warning, and you nodded compliantly before mumbling his name.

“Naoya.” Forcing a tight smile, you nervously took a step backwards which put your back flush up against the only exit. It only prompted Naoya to take another step forward again making the distance between you even more miniscule. The heat of your embarrassment continued to rise into your face as you placed a manicured hand on his chest with the intent to nudge him back to give you some breathing room.

“Naoya, please.” you complained looking him in the eye trying to thwart the swelling warmth that was creeping up your loins.

Raising a brow Naoya’s smirk, only curved into a mirthful smile. “Ah, so you do know how to beg.” Naoya didn’t relent, he didn’t budge an inch due to his solid stature. He did however lower his head until his nose grazed along your collarbone inhaling the floral scent that you were wearing.

You retracted as if you had been burned by fire upon feeling his nose graze your skin. The sudden contact caused you to smack your head against the door, a small whimper of pain following after.

“Naoya!” you whined, surprised from the jolt of pain that radiated from the back of your head.

He completely ignored your objections as pushed a few loose strands of hair behind your ear.

“What a lovely fragrance you’re wearing...”

Huffing in mock anger, you glared up at him jabbing your finger in his chest. He was working you up, and you didn’t want him to know that he had that effect on you. He knew that his behavior was unsavory, and you were determined to remind him.

“Knock it off Naoya!” you bit bottom lip to stop it from quivering before you continued speaking. “I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but you know that this is more than inappropriate.”

That smug smirk returned to Naoya’s chiseled facial features again and he leaned in looming over you again backing you into the door. He placed both of his hands on either side of your head caging you in beneath him.

“Or what?” he drawled as he inched closer to your face, his nose once again grazing against yours. “What are you going to do, Y/N?”

Your lips parted as you locked eyes with him, the words that you wanted to speak getting caught in your throat. Naoya’s lips slotted themselves over your own, silencing you before you could draw another breath of protest.

His kiss was smoldering and demanding, it was almost as if he were sucking the air from your lungs. Your knees grew weak, the sound of your pulse pounding against your eardrums. Whimpering slightly, you writhed helplessly under the aggressive assault on your lips swallowing every thought you were trying to formulate as his tongue prodded at your bottom lip.

Your lips parted as his tongue demanded entrance, the slick thick muscle of Naoya’s tongue slipped inside, dancing over every crack and crevice of your mouth. Your lids hung low as you fell into a dazed state the heat building in your core causing your body to flush from Naoya’s ministrations.

Finally, he let up the aggressive onslaught on your mouth pulling back and allowing you to breathe momentarily. Your eyes were glassed over, lips swollen and flushed, and a dazed expression on your face as you stared up at Naoya who was still hovering over you.

He was clearly entertained by your state of disarray, his hand coming up to grasp ahold of your jaw tightly and canting your head back against the door.

Chuckling to himself he placed his unoccupied hand at the curve of your hip squeezing it tentatively through the fabric of your skirt.

“You’re a mess already. You really want me to stop?” The only response you could relent was a breathy groan as your hands came to grasp at his bicep. You weren’t sure if it was to prevent him from continuing or to ask for more.

Your lips parted to say something- anything, but Naoya’s lips descended on your pulse eliciting a squeak from your own as he sucked and nipped at the spot. Mewling submissively, your dug your fingernails into his arm rubbing your thighs together to relieve the harsh ache that was developing between your legs.

Swallowing a choked sob, you flattened your hands along the broad expanse of his abdomen pushing him lightly. You nearly squealed, the enthusiastic attentions he had been paying your throat starting to tingle.

“Naoya, please. You’re going to leave bruises.”

Naoya only hummed in agreement as he relinquished the hold he had on the skin he’d been teasing, his teeth scraping over the sensitive flesh as he stood up right. Grasping the wrist of your right hand tightly, he wrapped your hand around the outline of his thick length in his sweatpants.

“Look what you’ve started, Y/N.” he groaned as his palm flexed around your own squeezing his erection through his pants. “You’re going to have to take care of this before my meeting.”

Startled your eyes met his own as you stuttered out a complaint all the heat in your loins quickly rushing to your face.

“N-no, there’s no time! Your meeting is in thirty minutes!” At this point, you were desperate to get away from him. If he kept pushing forward like this, you were going to be on your knees before you knew it.

Sneaking a glance at the front of his sweatpants, your breath hitched in your throat as it seemed that his erection had grown even larger.

“Thirty minutes. Plenty of time.” Naoya scoffed. Wrapping an arm around your waist he turned you around pulling your backside against his crotch. Holding you in place, he embraced you tightly grinding his crotch against the curve of your ass.

An unsolicited moan escaped your lips and you clamped your hand over your mouth to prevent any other sounds from filling the room.

Naoya guided you towards his empty desk, abruptly releasing his hold on you to bend you over the wooden top.

“Keep making noises like that, then I'll really have to cancel my meetings today.” Naoya shifted his position so he was standing behind you and placed both palms on the insides of your thighs kneading the flesh slightly.

“Naoya, wait.” You attempted to shuffle back upright, but you were pushed back down against the desk. Naoya’s palm splaying itself over and pushing down on your lower back.

“Stop. Moving.”

You whimpered trying to bring your thighs together as his large hands continued to trail up your inner thighs and under your skirt. His slender fingers ghosted over your cloth covered pussy gathering the slick that had completely saturated your undergarments.

Naoya rubbed his fingers together, clicking his tongue slightly at the amount of arousal that he had gathered from barely touching you.

“You’re soaked.” He continued to prod around your underwear sliding the calloused pads of his fingers over your slick folds through your underwear. “Now I feel kind of bad about neglecting you for this long. If you would have just asked, I would have fucked you already.”

You inhaled sharply as his middle finger pushed past your underwear into your sopping cunt all the way to the knuckle. A whine bubbled up from the back of your throat as you placed your cheek against the cool wood of his desk.

“Naoya. Your mee- Ah!” Naoya curled his finger inside of you, languidly thrusting his finger in and out of you before he pulled it out again. Again, he took his time, slathering your arousal against the inside of your thighs before pulling your underwear down your legs.

Once the thin piece of fabric hit the carpet of the office, he ordered you to lift your legs and had you step out of them. Timidly, you do as he says his hand still pressing against the small of your back.

“I’ll make it on time to the meeting. Don’t worry your pretty little head.”

Naoya’s deft fingers make quick work of shoving your pencil skirt over your hips. It was done in such a neat and caring manner, with him making sure not to add any additional creases.

“Draw your legs together.” His hands are still grasping at the soft skin of your inner thighs, where he had smeared your juices.

His command didn’t register immediately, but the sharp sting of his palm coming down on your right ass cheek had you shifting immediately.

Yelping in surprise at the swat you drew your legs together as Naoya positioned himself behind you freeing his cock from the confines of his sweats.

You could only imagine what his dick looked like, deep down you wanted capture the image and have it seared into the back of your corneas. Unfortunately, the position he had you in didn’t give you much room to do anything of the sort.

Gripping the flesh of your hips, Naoya leaned over you putting his chest against your back. You closed your eyes in anticipation, you were really going to let your boss fuck you over his desk like some sex starved secretary and you had no qualms about it. Finally, you’d be able to get this out of your system and then maybe quit and go work for someone else.

You’re pulled from your train of thought when Naoya pushes his hips forward, his dick slipping through your slick coated thighs, in between your pussy lips; with the tip grazing your clit. You shuddered at the sensation; the swollen bud already sensitive from his treatment from earlier.

You gasped in surprise as he pulled back, repeating the same action again hitting the same spot again. Your mouth was going dry, the pressure beginning to mount between your legs as Naoya continued to fuck your thighs.

You could feel every vein, bump, and divot of his cock stimulating your clit the more he rutted into you. Naoya buried his face in the nape of your neck as he increased his pace, he could feel you cunt clenching around nothing as the friction intensified.

“God, you’re so wet.”

Whimpering at his words you drew your knees closer together rocking your hips forward in an attempt to get more friction from the angle you were in.

Naoya’s pace increased subtly, the sound of his pelvis meeting that fat of your ass echoing throughout the office. It sounded down right obscene, but it was sending static through your abdomen. The pressure between your legs was building consistently until your breathing was becoming ragged.

Your body began to move on it’s own accord your hips jutting backwards and then forward to grind against the thick appendage slicking past your pleasure button over and over again. You didn’t realize how good something like this could feel, your breath now coming out in short pants.

“N-Naoya, I think I might…” you groaned, as you brought a shaky hand between your thighs stroking the underside of Naoya’s girth.

He hissed at the taction, and it seemed to spur his humping into overdrive. Wailing helplessly, your knees buckled underneath him a reverberating shudder coursing through middle. Your mind goes fuzzy and distantly you can feel Naoya manhandling you in an attempt to keep your knees drawn together.

“Keep them together.” He gritted out slowly angling his dick upwards to keep rubbing against your aching clit. The intense sensation causes your orgasm to hit you blindly, a wash of warmth pushing itself from your gut. Both hands flew up finding purchase and the edge of the desk as you bit your bottom lip in an attempt to stifle the sensual moan working itself up from the back of your throat.

A wave of slick gushes down your inner thighs making it ten times easier for Naoya’s dick still slipping fervently through the meat of your thighs. Your body still shook from the aftershocks or your orgasm, the intense friction from the man behind you sending your body into overstimulation.

You whimpered lowly, hoping that he’d finish sooner than later before you ended up crying in the middle of his office. He thrusted forward again, his hands squeezing harshly at the soft skin of your hips.

“Close..” his jaw set hard and firm and he thrusted again, learning over your body situated on the desk.

His member stilled between your thighs, and the warmth of his cum began seeping between your thighs. You gasped in surprise as he continued to pump in and out until your thighs milked him completely. A moment later, he pulled himself free from your thighs

“Don’t move.” Pulling up his sweat pants, Naoya grabbed the towel that he had discarded earlier and came back to standing behind you.

Kneeling behind you he took the towel and began to clean up the mess of his between your thighs. You flinched at the feel of the damp fabric against your skin but waited until he finished.

Although he wasn’t wiping you off anymore, he still remained crouched down his heated gaze directed towards your glistening core. He wasn’t saying anything, and you only grew more flustered as you were splayed out open to him on the desk.

Standing up right your hands quickly found the hem of your skirt trying to pull it back down over your waist. Naoya stood interrupting your actions by grasping hold of your hand.

Your face was already red with embarrassment, biting your lip you pinned Naoya with a nervous glare.

“What the hell Naoya?!” You whined slightly taken aback at the sudden action.

“Allow me.” He was staring down at you, lip twitching at the corner of his mouth as he pulled your skirt back down for you smoothing out any wrinkles as he did. Once he was finished correcting your wardrobe, his hand slipped over your behind giving it a firm squeeze.

You squealed at the gesture, shooting him an incredulous look. “Don’t be mannish.”

It was very clear to you that he was laughing at you, attempting to hide the amused smirk that was slowly creeping onto his face. Unfortunately that’s exactly what he was, and you had allowed him to act on his impulses and your own.

Huffing indignantly, you distanced yourself away from him. You were unsure of what to say or do in this situation, but Naoya simply carried on like whatever happened between you two was business as usual. He picked up his dry cleaning and went to stripping down and changing right in front you.

You shied your gaze away from his naked body glancing down at your watch to check the time. It was 8:40, he had exactly 5 minutes to get into the conference room to go over his pitch with his client. Shifting unsteadily, you realized that your underwear was still missing.

Smoothing your arms over your blouse and over your hair to make sure you looked at least semi decent you cleared your throat.

“Uhm.. Naoya. My underwear?”

Naoya had just finished buttoning up his collared shirt, as he turned on his heels to glance over at you. He knelt down to pick up the scrawny piece of lacy fabric and stuffed it into the pocket of his khaki trousers.

“Out of sight, out of my mind.” He mused as he pulled open his desk drawer.

You blanched as you watched in horror, the heat of embarrassment once again rising to your face. Sighing in defeat you turned towards the door of his office to let yourself out.

“Your meeting starts in 15 minutes. Please don’t be late Mr. Zenin.”

Naoya casually rummaged through his desk drawer before pulling out his silver Rolex and slipping it on his left wrist fastening it quickly.

“Y/N, before you leave for the weekend. Be sure that you purchase an additional first class plane ticket for my trip to Akasaka.”

Arching a brow you nodded, but decided to inquire why he needed another ticket.

“Of course.. I’ve already purchased one for you and Mr. Fushiguro.” You pondered thoughtfully as your mind went back to his appointments out of town the following week. You didn’t recall any additional associates, and the week Naoya was out of time should have been a down week for you. “What name should I book it under, sir?”

Naoya was now adjusting his grey tie as he closed the gap between the both of, his hand latching onto your jaw squeezing your cheeks together.

“You’re coming along, you’re going to keep Fushiguro and I attending to business matters.” With a hushed chuckle he released his hold on you to open up his office stepping out of the door and out of sight.

Shocked you stood silent. Your breath caught in your throat, trying to decipher what the hell he was insinuating. You were aware that the business trip included Mr. Fushiguro but you personally weren’t a fan of him. If you thought Naoya was crass, Mr. Fushiguro may have been worse.

“What the fuck did I just start..?”

I'm wanting to get into making icons and playing around with editing photos, do you have any tips you might wanna give a newbie?

omg of course! a caveat that i am also still fumbling my way around with icons but my meagre advice!

photoshop has 100% made my life easier with icon making but if you don't have photoshop there's a website called photopea which is totally free and works pretty much exactly like photoshop!

usually i do a 500x500 canvas size which is quite big for an icon but i just like to see what im doing with more pixels and then if it exceeds the size limit i'll size it down to like 100x100 or 50x50

i generally try steer clear of pictures/icons with a lot of wispy flyaway hair just because masking around them is a bitch (which is why as much as i love curly buck his lil gelmet is v handy)

also (not always but sometimes) i try and match any colours in the icon to the background, like a shirt/item of clothing/etc matching the background. this is jut to make it look kewl

for me personally i love textured backgrounds!! with the latest crop of buck icons i used this texture

that i then grey-scaled, brightened and then applied various purple overlays (i kinda futz between overlay and multiply for blending mode). i found this one just by typing watercolour texture on google!

(a lot of times i will use gradient overlays for the colours! for example for my current buck icon i did a slightly darker yellow gradient into a lighter yellow! so this was my yellow overlay)

(im aware its literally impossible to tell so maybe i am just neurotic and im the only one who notices but i think it just adds some #texture)

if ur using photopea/photoshop i defo recommend the pen tool for cropping out the person in the icon, its kinda a pain to learn but once u get the hang of it it is SO handy and u can do pretty much anything with it (except flyaways grrr)

i colour-correct the icon the way i do with most my gifs, so i add a sharpening layer (my settings are smart sharpen > amount 250, radius 0.3, and then again smart sharpen > amount 10, radius 10) and then i add a curves layer just to brighten it up and create shadow, a brightness/contrast layer to further brighten, selective colour (this depends on if there are any colours that you really want to pop and i just accentuate them more/change them to fit with my background if need be) and then a little bit of hue/saturation because i like my colours to be super vibrant.

anyway i hope that helped!!! i feel like i was very vague and rambly but pls feel free to ask any more questions!!
