#but this is more realistic and also funnier

[nexahexagon]

Fun little page for the squish guy, little ideas I wanted to draw out!! He is so fun to color, and I think it’s cuz I like to overlap colors on him and I haven’t nailed a specific design either so he’s just fun to mess with!!

Might make a Helsknight one soon

Rambles on design ideas below cut cuz it’s too long for tags imo. Actually it’s just long. In general.

Tanguish being a cold guy, literally frosting things over with a touch, should be a little extra icy as a treat. I’ve had a little brainworm of HK and Guish having a snow day for so long but I haven’t drawn it, but that’s off topic! I feel he slowly gets icier the longer he stays on HermitCraft and defrosts the moment he enters Hels, and I think peak icy he’s like a lighter blue- like proper icy guy (still has dark spots- like compact ice? Idk how to describe what I’m thinking of). There’s also a little dialogue I have in my head that idk if I wanna make a mini comic of yet but it’s essentially:

HK: Why’s your hair wet? Why’re you, like, damp??

Guish: Hm? Oh, it’s just. Defrosting? I’m defrosting. You know?

HK: No?? I don’t? Defrosting? What- are you melting?

But I also feel HK would piece it together or at least just leave Tanguish to his personal devices as long as it wasn’t harming him?? Like

[Huh, that’s weird. Oh well, I’ll keep in mind my friend defrosts occasionally. I guess. Should I get more towels? So he can dry off? How do I prepare for defrosting?]

And I can’t tell which is funnier? But anyways.

I kinda like the backless tank idea!! Realistically, it’d be a pain to put on normal clothes, but he is a fictional character so I could put whatever and his spikes are a-okay cuz I said so!! But it could also be slid into the “ways to keep cool” slot, cuz he is ice incarnate.

Bat ears. Cuz I said so. Also, sculk.

I like to think Tanguish (from my previous designs at least) would start adding red bits almost unconsciously after hanging out with Helsknight. Nothing as big as a red cloak of course, but a small red handkerchief here, maybe a hole in his shirt/pants is patched with red thread bc that’s all HK really has laying around? Some tiny red patches as well perhaps?? Idk, I’m not sure I’d add much but I might.

I also kinda want to blend his hair with his spikes but. I haven’t done that much yet. Also the wraps on his hands are copper colored cuz it looks nice with the blue :].

Tbh I think staying at zeldas cottage together is the funniest possible thing that could've happened to silas+marcia specifically. Silas goes from thinking marcia is cold and unfeeling and insane to being like "oh so she CAN experience joy but only when she's telling us over breakfast all about the latest extremely niche topic she's gotten invested in. And also she's insane"

[missingexaltation]

I've seen so many fics where a) everyone knows about steddie before they do, b) a 3rd party gets them together because they're useless, c) put the idea into their heads to get together. But I'd love it to be the opposite, like everyone assumes that they're just good friends, that Steve has finally got a guy friend (that wasn't awkwardly dating his ex).

I'd love a relieved Robin, who's annoyed that Steve didn't tell her earlier, but glad beyond belief that she's not been replaced as 'best friend'. 'Thank God he's just your boyfriend, dingus.'

Give me a Nancy who's concerned at first that their break up was so traumatic that it 'turned' Steve gay, and she's then corrected and relieved (because she still loves Steve, just not like that).

Give me confused kids that are immediately grossed out (because it's them, not because they're both guys), but who were completely blindsided. Who gather to gossip and try and figure out if they should have seen the signs (which were so obvious in hind sight).

Worried Hopper, Joyce and Claudia, who are more concerned about Eddie's 'illegal extra curriculars' than anything else.

'I don't get it, Steve's such a good kid,'

'Well to be honest Jim, Eddie's never been anything but polite to me'

'because you're seeing his uncle, Claudia, he has to be nice to you!'

'I think you're being too harsh on the poor boy.'

'He's a drug dealer, Joyce!'

'He nearly died, Jim, and besides, the kids love him!'

In fact, the only people who know are Wayne and Argyle. Wayne, because Eddie has zero filter with him, and does not shut up about Steve at all, (but who's ecstatic that his boy is finally doing well and is happy).

And Argyle because he's just so removed from the situation that I (personally) find it hilarious that he'd clock them immediately. 'Good for you, brochachos!'

Recently cleaned up some oc portraits so that I could update their lore post for the few people that are interested <3 I'll give the same disclaimer as before that I'm not a master worldbuilder or even a very good writer tbh. these are just my dolls I play with for fun.

anyways long post ahead here is your introductory guide to the characters of fitaly (fake italy) a fictional duchy set in the early 16th century.

Antonia de' Farona Antonia is the eldest child of the Duke Niccolò de' Farona. Though they interact infrequently, she has a wretched relationship with Andrea Bernardi, her sister's betrothed. She finds him dismissive and condescending and is suspicious of his behavior around her maid, Lucia. When she is wed, she brings Lucia with her to her husband's villa. The marriage lasts roughly 5 years until her husband passes (I haven't worked out from what yet, but it's not particularly integral to the story.) Seeing as they have no children, her husband's family contests her right to retain his properties and she returns to her father's palazzo, Lucia in tow. She is largely reclusive as a widow and prefers to remain in her apartments, despite having more relative freedom than her sisters. She sees Andrea as undeserving of her father's affection and believes that had she not had the "misfortune" to be born a woman it would be her in his place, and truly loathes him after her return. Despite this, there is a brief attempt by her father to offer her hand in marriage to Andrea after the death of Isabella, but she wholly refuses and begins spreading nasty (but not entirely untrue, nor undeserved) rumors about Andrea throughout court to deter further pursuits.

Isabella de' Farona Second child to the Duke Niccolò. She has been betrothed to Andrea Bernardi since they were both children. She finds him less objectionable than her sister Antonia does, but she is certainly not enamored with him. Isabella is a vivacious and charming girl, though Andrea seems entirely immune to her charms. She dies abruptly at the age of 16 (allegedly after suffering an acute illness, but circumstances are suspect) before she and Andrea are ever wed.

Maddelena de' Farona Maddalena is the Duke's third daughter, and she's rather meek but sweet. She's not particularly pivotal to the story, but it IS important to note that she too has already been betrothed, hence why Marietta had to resort to trying to marry Andrea to her widowed sister.

Paulo de' Farona Paulo is also not particularly relevant, but he's currently the Duke's only surviving male heir (thus far), so he's very doted on.

Lorenzo de' Bassani Administrator in the court of Duke Niccolò de' Farona. Lorenzo was instrumental in arranging a marriage between his young nephew Andrea and Isabella de' Farona with the intent that they would wed when they reached maturity. He hosts Andrea more and more frequently as he gets older, and secures him secretarial work at court.

Andrea Bernardi Andrea was betrothed to Isabella as a child as a means of satisfying his mother's political aspirations. Andrea is educated and ambitious but somewhat dour for his age. He leaves his family's villa to seek employment at court when he's 16, which he secures with the help of his uncle Lorenzo. He coerces Antonia's maid, Lucia, whom he is infatuated with into entering a relationship with him while at court, but shortly thereafter Antonia is wed and takes Lucia with her. During this time, he is taken under the wing of Duke Niccolò, who sees his younger self in Andrea's ambition. Several years later, when Lucia returns to the palazzo after the death of Antonia’s husband, he resumes their relationship while Antonia grows even more resentful of him. Isabelle dies before she and Andrea can fulfill the marriage contract. He is in no hurry to find a new match, but his mother immediately proposes that he marry the Duke's eldest, widowed daughter. Niccolò is inclined to agree, but Antonia causes such a fuss about the matter that it's quickly abandoned. Andrea leaves court abruptly, and takes Lucia with him, much to Antonia's dismay. Meanwhile, his mother secures the daughter of a Spanish ambassador to be his wife. The two have a very brief betrothal period before they're wed and Ysabel goes to live with him away from the eyes at court.

Ysabel de Torres y Mendoza Ysabel is the daughter of a Spanish ambassador and overall a very reserved girl. She finds herself somewhat isolated outside of Spain. Initially, she is tentatively pleased by her marriage to Andrea— she assumes he is keeping a respectful distance to allow her to acclimate— but it becomes clear over time that he is genuinely disinterested in her, and she has to fight for any semblance of affection from him. He makes no secret of Lucia as their marriage progresses, and young Ysabel chooses to make Lucia the object of her loathing rather than confront her unfaithful husband. Overall, it is an unhappy marriage from the outset. Despite this, she and Andrea eventually have children together, whom he is similarly uninterested in, except for their son.

Lucia Lucia is my favorite oc I will not even pretend to be unbiased... She is Antonia's servant and a notorious flirt and gossip. Though several years older than Andrea, she unwittingly gets his attention and is pressured into a relationship with him when he first arrives at court. Having been particularly unlucky in love thus far, she finds the easy attention she’s able to get from Andrea a refreshing (and deserved) change of pace. However, by the time of Antonia's marriage only a few months later, she's begun to find him immature and temperamental, and is relieved to be out from under his thumb when Antonia takes her away. During her years away, she takes another lover but once again leaves him behind when she and her mistress return to the palazzo after the death of Antonia’s husband. Upon her return, she is surprised to find that Andrea even remembers her— even more so that he again pursues her— but she believes he's matured and acquiesces to further relations with him. After Isabella's death and the disastrous marriage negotiations with Antonia, Andrea offers to offers to take Lucia with him away from the palazzo. She accepts, and briefly experiences a honeymoon period where he freely showers her with affection away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, the arrival of his new wife complicates matters, and tensions begin to escalate as Andrea’s wife and mistress grow discontent under the same roof.

Bartolomea Lucia's mother (and only known relative) and also a palazzo servant. She claims that Lucia's father was a craftsman who died shortly before Lucia's birth, forcing Bartolomea to find work in the palazzo to support herself and the expected child. The story about her father is 100% not true, but Lucia believes it. Neither she nor her daughter are literate.

I think that’s all for now.. it is hard for me to figure out how to introduce them bc I have a lot of lore backlogged but hopefully everything here makes sense <3

I don't usually think about Fandom Vore but this one specific scenario is currently occupying too much brain space

So I've been thinking a lot about H.ades recently.

Hypothetically, let's say you're inside Z.agreus' belly. When he gets defeated, would you also melt into the puddle of blood along with him, or would you just lay there in a puddle of Zagrejuice on the floor with whatever ended that specific escape attempt looking down at you confused?

Gordon should NOT get a biological hand back(if he does it’s busted to all hell and mostly numb). And any prosthetic he gets sucks ass unless it has a cartoony switchable feature that lets him adapt to certain tasks because even high tech prosthetic hands with the correct reaction speeds will never beat gun arm if your goal is shooting something.

What im saying is he makes a million different hands for himself to the point where he has “fork hand” and “screwdriver hand” and “scissor hand” ect

say hello to Toshi! he's an oc I've been developing for a couple of years now but i haven't ever talked about him! he's a very dear character to me, and he's a tragic scientist father because i'm predictable. also he's autistic.

[trillscienceofficer]

I prefer to imagine Jadzia not as someone who ‘by nature’ goes along with everyone but rather as someone who knows how to not let her personal opinions get in the way of a friendship, because she understand the value of forming close relationships with a wide variety of people. I think this says a lot about the level of conscious effort Jadzia puts into being with others, which comes up especially early on in the show when Benjamin and her were still readjusting to each other, but also the way she purposefully gets close to Kira even though in early season 1 Kira wasn't exactly easy to win over, especially for a Starfleet officer. Jadzia, I think, also alludes to her conscious choice to stick with people when talking to Julian in “Starship Down” about how his blatant crush on her made being close to him not exactly simple, and yet their friendship meant something to her and she stuck with it anyway. I find this somewhat more realistic than just a ‘natural’ predisposition towards people and network-building; rather, it's a skill, one Jadzia is incredibly proficient in, and imho a very admirable one. Which makes it even funnier when that skill reaches its limits and Jadzia gets snippy (ie her opinions get the better of her) or doesn't realize that the context she's in requires a different approach to the one that usually works for her (like in “The Ship”).

When Warriors was drunk, there were two possibilities for how he was going to act. Legend hated the first option. Warriors grew so thoughtful and morose and distant that Legend couldn't rest until Warriors sobered up again. Legend spent the night keeping an eye on Warriors and, more importantly, Warriors's access to weapons. He hated those nights.

The other option was possibly more annoying but undoubtedly funnier. Legend was still watching but now he was laughing with Hyrule. He felt a little bad for Sky, who was dragging a barely conscious Twilight into the room. His expression reminded Legend of a disgruntled kitten. Meanwhile, Twilight slurred something about some great beauty. An actual person or an animal, Legend had no clue.

Time looked resigned as he all but carried Warriors into the room. Warriors didn't seem to notice everyone else. He was latched onto Time, leading to a slight hobble and drag to Time's steps.

"Drinking contest," Sky said shortly. He tried to put Twilight on the nearest bed, only to yelp as Twilight dragged him down, too. Twilight curled tightly against him and only relaxed when Sky yielded, expression more cutesy disgruntled than ever.

"Who won?" Legend asked. Hyrule giggled against Legend's shoulder. On the bed behind them, Wind offered a highly realistic snore, which was followed by Four's far less realistic snore. Legend thought Four was missing out on all the fun.

"Warriors," Sky said.

"Neither," Time said.

"Sprite!" Warriors said.

Warriors cuddled closer to Time, an action which nearly sent them both to the floor. Legend thought he heard something about how BIG his sprite had grown. He also thought he saw Time's mouth twitch.

They had rented two rooms at the inn, each with two large beds. It was all they had, the innkeeper explained. There was a festival. A tight fit but manageable, they had all agreed.

Time eyed the bed with Twilight and Sky and looked dubious. Twilight crooned something unintelligible and started petting Sky's hair. "...I think I'll take Warriors to the other room."

"My boy!" Warriors said happily. He looked at Wind on the bed and beamed. "My boys!"

Hyrule coughed on another giggle. "Ah, will you need help?"

"Grown up and MARRIED!" Warriors said proudly to no one.

Time sighed. "I got it. Where's Wild?"

Legend and Hyrule stopped laughing. Four released another highly fake snore. "He wasn't with Warriors and Twilight?"

"I'm going to be an UNCLE!"

Something exploded outside. Several people shrieked. Time looked at Legend and Hyrule and smiled. "I got Warriors."

"I got Twilight!" Sky said quickly from the bed.

"I got a kitty," Twilight sighed happily.

"I got my baby brother!" Warriors cooed. Legend thought he understood what Twilight and Warriors said, anyway. Twilight's accent was horrific when he was drunk, and it enraged Legend that he couldn't identify Warriors's rarely heard accent at all.

Legend drooped. Hyrule perked up. "We got Wild," Legend said, resigned.

Surely Wild couldn't be as bad as a drunk Warriors, right?

Something exploded outside. Warriors, Twilight, and a distant voice which sounded suspiciously like Wild's cheered.

...right?

{The End/A Compilation on This Project}

Summary:

I don't really like the climax I came up with at the time so I'll be adding a new version here. So if It differs from the images that's why, I feel like I made the pages during a time where I just wanted to get the comic over with so it kinda feels generic and half baked.

-

Starting from our last point, with the words of encouragement from the Light of Resolution and the steel force will to get his dad back, Choco manages to land a powerful strike, surprising the ancients and phasing Berserk Cacao.

This leaves space for the ancients to also be able to help, Pure Vanilla gives both Choco and Holly buffs while Holly holds the line and protects them from incoming attacks. By doing so they're able to get closer. Finally, a combined attack is hit to where something finally seems to happen. It's powerful and cuts into the indoor wall of the citadel. The smoke dissipates and all that is left is just Cacao.

They're all pretty suprised, but Cacao still has some lingering curse corruption on his body and his breathing is shallow. Hearing the loud crashes from the room the watchers (and Caramel) run in to see the ... interesting situation that had unfolded.

We then cut to Cacao sitting in a hospital room, he had woken up a bit earlier and is trying somewhat to recall the events of the previous day.

Holly and PV soon walk in with mugs, not expecting him to be up. They're caught off guard but soon calm down and get to chatting. Cacao finally admits he's not really doing all so well with both his kingdom and his son over the course of the conversation.

He also sort of opens up about more sensitive issues he's been through, thought he doesn't hold that topic for long given it's just too much for him at the moment. Holly understands where he's coming from and offers some words of encouragement, while PV tells him they're going to look into something for the curse and to actually help Cacao mentally.

Cacao reluctantly agrees.

It ends a bit more open ended with your own interpretation of how Cacao deals with his issues being set, though there would be a few aftermath pages exploring the relationship with the characters shown after the events of the story, this one for example is Cacao and Choco doing pottery painting.

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

Some interesting facts, and stuff I made that didn't make it into the final cut:

-In my discord server berserk Cacao was often referred to as "The enemy spider"

-I often used their hands (so many hand drawings) as a way to show more of their character, Holly has hand scars while PV has a redness around his nails from stress. I like to add a human aspect to each of them so the reader can relate

-Berserk Cacao has had so many iterations before the final one, I just couldn't decide what I wanted him to look like!

-Each character has a different way of showing their thoughts/flashbacks! Caramels are more center focused given her only thought in that flashback was of the loud crash, Choco's are blurry given his eyesight, and Cacao has flashbacks and thinks in grayscale! You can actually notice this more during the dinner scene, this has it's own reasoning but it's bit more darker

-Most of the sketches were 10x more funnier than the finished project but I had to make it realistic

-Affogato was originally going to make it into the comic as a background character, but I felt it was too OOC for him given his devious crimes

Onto the darker stuff-

TW: Implied Abuse, Blood

-Everyone knows about the cut panels but there was actually an entire page scrapped too, originally this would follow along with the Light of Resolution convo (I will now refer to it as the LOR) but I scrapped it for a few reasons.

-Firstly I felt like it didn't add anything and only just re-established something the reader already well knew from both Holly and Cacaos statements, secondly I just felt like it was OOC for how I wrote the LOR. The LOR is in part Cacao. He is Cacao's resolution made physical. This would be his story to tell because he is a part of Cacao. It is Cacao in a way. I also felt revealing his face felt kinda eh and just didn't fit. So for those reasons I chopped it

-Cacao's curse wound was actually bleeding in this scene, though it's a bit hard to see with the shaders

That's all! Thank you everyone for being on this journey with me, I appreciate each and every one of you, you truly helped me expand my art horizons

[mochinomnoms]

I'm not sure if this counts as a request for 'Shrimpy Chronicles', but do you have any headcanons regarding Coral and Pearl or the triplets (Poppy, Moss, Lumiro) as grown ups/teens? I can only imagine how some of them might be troublemakers like their Dad(s)

Bonus if Shrimp Yuu is wailing because her babies are growing up like: "Why would you leave me!?"

See I think it would be funnier if one of the Dads was wailing, the obvious answer would be Azul but like Floyd wailing and wrapping himself and his tail around his kiddos is a way funnier image to me.

I have a few ideas for the kids, part of me wants to make them just like Jade and Floyd, but realistically they wouldn't be the exact type of menaces their fathers were.

As teens, both of them are relatively straight forward and socialites. Compared to the (adult) twins, they're not fairly intimidating, so they're very easy to approach or be approached by. This is partially because they appear a lot more human thanks to Shrimpy Yuu's genetics. But it's also because the Leech family is lowkey training them for a...different part of the family business, one that requires them to be charismatic and to blend in with the crowd.

Unfortunately, that last one is a bit hard as, despite them being rather sociable, are also quick to gossip and even start fights if it entertains them. Coral especially likes to whisper into other's ears and make little 'suggestions' to people, rile them up so to speak, and watches in glee as she and Pearl bet on who will win the fight she causes. Pearl is just very curious (or impulsive), so she tends to get into all sorts of situations just to see what will happen if she touches that big red button that says 'DO NOT TOUCH'. Anything that happens after is totally not her fault! They shouldn't have made that button soooooo touchable!

Unlike Jade and Floyd, who enjoy personal space and doing their own thing (and even often fought as kids for annoying each other), Coral and Pearl are attached at the hip. If one likes one hobby, the other will find herself doing a similar, if not the same hobby just to hang around her. It's quite funny to see growing up, as neither particularly realizes it when one picks up drawing, the other does painting. One starts baking, the other starts cooking.

The funniest is when both try to do the same thing, but in each other's space. Once, Pearl took up reading horror novels and Coral started hovering over her shoulder to see what her sister was up to. After about 10 minutes, Coral as completely splayed over the top of the chair, cheek pressed against Pearl's as they both read the book together. They're very fond of each other, though they have their squabbles (usually over food, they both are gluttons).

The triplets I haven't thoughts as much about so I don't have much to share about them...ask again later lol
