#but it still made me smile

[marta-bee]

I'm talking about this because it's funny and completely immaterial, and so much else isn't. And I'm not quite ready to go there yet.

Following Jimmy Carter's death, government buildings like the Capitol were supposed to fly the US flag at half-mast for a month, including today. Trump wasn't having it and suddenly Mike Johnson was promising to fly the flag at full mast for his inauguration. Some state governors did, too. It's one of those nothing stories that's only worth noticing because it's such a ridiculously small thing for Trump to focus on.

Apparently Mother Nature still didn't get the message.

I swear there's a joke to be made about Hell freezing over in here somewhere.

Hee hee hee... it has been finally done

Not the first to be inspired by this fic (and definitely not the last, especially once it continues) by @wakebymoonsleepbysun, but I just had to sketch some of the moments in it

Don't mind the fact that he looks different on every one of these... I was still uh... figuring him out ^^"

I could just envision every scene so clearly, no doubt thanks to the vivid writing!! I was very charmed!! And I love AUs where we get to save him in some way, he (they) deserved so much better. Doey being so small is of course adorable, 10/10 would store him in my shirt pocket and feed him whatever he'd like

Though I saw he'll return to big boy size eventually... ah well

And oh yeah here are the paragraphs these are referencing, in order:

[crabsnpersimmons]

remember this little guy?

bonus Sun and Moon reacting to the little guy:

[magicicephoenix]

You wake up due to a an odd discomfort around your groin, you feel around and touch something soft and plastic?

You turn on the lights and find yourself lock in a small, pink chastity cage

You panic a little, you’ve never done this before, you try to pull it off and it won’t budge and you notice just how little you can touch your member now

You get hard

It hurts

You look around the room and see an envelope next to a small pile of clothes and some odd plastic?

You open the envelope

My dearest love,

You wronged me, the fact you wouldn’t know who I am makes it that much worse

So I thought it’d only be right if I punished you

As you might’ve found out already I’ve securely locked you up and only I have the key

If you ever want it back you’ll need to do some things for me first

Mod course you won’t be allowed to touch your memeber until I release you

Next you will need to wear the clothes, and insert the remote anal vibrator I provided to you

You will then need to watch any porngraphic content I send you over the course of the next 2 weeks, dressed up and wearing the plug

I’ve made a separate number where we can chat

I expect you to use the proper respect when talking to me

I expect you to thank me for teaching you how to be a good girl

And I expect you to drop whatever you’re doing whenever I send you a message, and if I so ask you’ll put on the shuttle clothes I gave you, put in the plug, and watch whatever degrading smut I sent you while I control your ass

Do this like a good girl for 2 weeks and I’ll take off the cage

Mess up once, and I’ll flush the key down the drain

Oh and don’t think to get it removed or anything, I got that onto you without you noticing once, and if you get it off I’ll know that means you’re ready for your second round!

And trust me you wouldn’t like the second round, something tells me that you’d hate losing your freedom of movement

So now be a good girl and dress yourself up already love~

I’m waiting

Oh! And one more thing!

I can and will change the rules at any time, for example one I thought of right now: the two weeks only count down if you spent the whole day in cute woman’s clothing, so if you ever put on those nasty clothes you’re wearing right now, the day doesn’t count and you still have 2 weeks to go

Good luck cutie! Try to keep me happy~

In Regards To Your 2024 Summary:

Holy shit it’s been another year????? The hell?????

Also! Your art style is gorgeous and that being found in 2023 and then refined throughout late 2023 and the entirety of 2024 really shows, as does your growth in panel layouts, perspective, and — as you said — experimentation. If you ever post your animation or video game art I’m looking forward to it.

As cheesy as it sounds, being able to laugh at funny comics and look at all the details of your art really made my 2024 brighter, even when things were hard. Including looking at your older art— it doesn’t need to be new to be enjoyable! I’m glad your art is well loved and it’s a privilege to have been here since the (near) beginning. I hope you take care of yourself in 2025 and beyond!

You and your art bring a lot of people a lot of joy never forget that <3

Thank you so much for keeping up with my art journey throughout these last two years! Two years!!! I am baffled at how that feels both too long and too short!

Admittedly, my art summary didn't manage to capture the fact that I did a lot of comic layouts that I'm really proud of. I also drew more backgrounds and made some very detailed works (*Dungeon Meshi spoilers for these examples*).

The growth is lot more evident when comparing my 'best' comics of 2023 to 2024:

Sometimes the growth is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal - and damn, sometimes it goes out of sight into the Z-plane. But it is always happening!

"Jason would be angry with Jaybin" / "Jason would comfort Jaybin"

Okay, what about both?

A scenario, in which Jason's first reaction on seeing himself so vulnerable, so little, so unaware of the future is to helplessly hiss. To grab himself by shoulders (by tiny, bony shoulders; oh, the malnourished kid he was!) and shake harshly, unable to hide his anger. But then, Jaybin's eyes feel with tears, and Jason freezes.

He doesn't want to be mean to this child. To the child that will die as a hero, that will do everything to save a woman that gave him birth, that despite all pain and cruelty, will choose to be kind to the very end. The one that won't even expect to be saved at the very end — just will want to die in his dad's arms.

So, he cries, too. His arms wrap around Jaybin's shivering body, and he can't help but shudder, too.

'I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry,' he whispers, again and again — for screaming, for being so cruel to them (to himself), for not being enough even after their death.

And Jaybin, because he is a gentle kid he is, hugs him back.

'It's okay,' he reassures him, wobbling lips curling in smile. 'We are fine. I know you are doing your best.'

It always gets me how fond Rei seems of Conan.

And then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have Conan:

[pastlives-brokendreams]

mentally i am still here.

i could write a whole essay about the meanings hidden behind this scene but their smiles are what really got me. you can see all the love they have for each other and how the single thought of losing the other quite literally shatters them inside.

adding to that the mysterious silent words zyc mouths at zyz when he thinks he is about to die (you know what i’m talking about and you will not change my mind about it. the L-WORD was definitely in there) and i’m pretty sure we can translate this whole scene as being their official and definite love confession.

maybe that’s also the moment that cements it for zyc. no matter what happens, he will not go on without zyz. he’ll find a way for them to be together, no matter how long it takes.

and now. imagine him with the white streaks in his hair, smiling in that exact same way when, after who know how many long years, zyz finally cultivates back to life and lays his eyes on him once again. smiling.
