fires vi with agender beam!!! + some extra stuff from when i was using her as people drawing practice. click the images to see them better oop
[id: a series of colorless digital sketches of vi and caitlyn from arcane. in the first picture, vi and caitlyn are sitting on a kind of short wall. vi is looking upward in thought, one hand palm-up in front of her, as she says, "you ever not feel like a girl or a boy but none gender left beef." caitlyn is next to her, watching vi attentively but looking the slightest bit confused. text next to caitlyn reads, "does Not get the reference."
the second picture is all kinds of sketches of vi. other than some basic head shapes, there are: a tiny chibi sketch of vi holding a tooth and looking cartoonishly sad with the text "bro my toothy;" a bust shot of her looking determined, with the text "flipped by accident whoops" (since her hair is on the wrong side); an upper body shot of her appearing to be sitting at a table, one arm crossed in front of her and her head propped up by the other, looking bored; and her in a family man death pose with the text "when you lose ur sis like 3 times."
the third picture is a few upper body shots of vi, all at a three-fourths angle toward the left with various neutral faces. the third picture is a half-built sketch of her speed-walking to the left, her stride purposeful and her expression fierce. her arms and clothing are omitted. end id]
#monotoneart#arcane#arcane vi#arcane caitlyn#caitvi#im?? a lil embarrassed about these cause i tried RLLY hard to get them to look right#but some of them look kinda wonky??#but yknow what. it's good enough. these are all mostly just practice#and that first drawing was the first time in forever an idea made me explode out of bed to my drawing tablet so. yup#also i spent like 2 hours on that walking sketch alone. ahahhaaa#something i noticed: if u look at vi's head straight on u can see her jaw is so screwed up. poor thing :(#fairly certain it's not just a stylistic choice#this is probably common knowledge im 2 years late to this fandom BUT YEAH

i’ll wake you up | son hyeju
synopsis : she looked just like the moon.. maybe that’s why you took her gaze as an invitation to doze off.
pairing : stranger!hyeju x sleepdeprived!femreader
genre : fluffy! strangers to… NOT strangers? idk reader thinks hyeju is pretty
tags : subway, reader is TIREDDD, fluff, one shot, that’s basically it lmfao
word count : 1k (?)
12:29 am.
you thought that living so far away from your university was going to help romanticize your studies more, yknow! make you wanna glam up and actually wanna go on campus in the first place. turns out, after a couple of semesters, you were more than wrong,
and you realized that just now, especially since it’s, again, 12:29 am and you’re trying to get back home using public transport whilst also running on barely 2 hours of sleep!
being in this type of situation made you rethink your whole original thought process; romanticizing my ass, you thought, i don’t even have a car, who made me think getting into a university that far away from my home was a good idea??
as you pondered, you didn’t realize how your eyes seemed to close by themselves, almost like they were being forcefully shut tight by some invisible force; despite the numerous loud noises assaulting your ears, the ones that would prevent you from falling asleep in an average context, you were getting dangerously close to snoozing. you fought back and mentally slapped yourself to stay conscious, of course, not wanting to doze off in the middle of some practically empty subway, (especially not this late into the night). the thought of finally getting some rest, however, no mind the place, was very tempting.
god, what you would’ve done to be in your bed at that moment.
as time passed, you were getting more and more absorbed by your own progressively ambiguous thoughts and felt your eyes get heavier, eventually falling deeper into a state of deep and extreme fatigue.
it wouldn’t hurt to rest your eyes for a few minutes, right? you thought.
giving into the desire, you finally allowed your eyes to take a break and closed them, feeling almost immediate relief when you did.
until that relief turned into annoyance.
your eyes attempted to rest for what felt like only a small minute, the only thing preventing you from fully falling into a deep state of slumber being the movement of the transport and the stress of potentially missing your stop.
this was useless, only thing you could do was push through the whole ride and crash into your bed as soon as you get home.
when your eyes eventually fluttered back open, you raised your head back up and blinked away the sleepiness, allowing yourself to get used to reality, the setting and environment of the subway becoming familiar to you again. because, despite that break being short, it was enough for you to feel like you were dreaming.
you cluelessly looked around, from the left to your right; the latter being the direction that your head was strangely leaning into. you were immediately greeted by an unexpected sight.
a woman that looked about your age, but something about her somehow radiated maturity. her visage was coated with nothing but gentleness, yet her gaze was so strangely stern and tense, offering a balanced contrast to her face; she looked intimidating, yet had more than a welcoming aura. the girl’s facial structure was beautiful, too, but you mostly noticed how her long, wavy and healthy-looking black hair gracefully fell onto the slightly chubby sides of her face before you observed all of her other features with close attention.
her mouth had somewhat of a downward triangular shape, it almost looked like a natural pout; you still could barely register anything in front of you at that moment, but you knew it was captivating.
man, you thought, she’s really pretty.
then, you realized that the reason why she was staring at you in that worried, puzzled manner.
you fell asleep on her shoulder.
“a-are you okay—“
before she could finish her sentence, that realization made you quickly snap back into reality and freak, very clearly embarrassed out of your damn mind, “shit, i’m so so sorry i didn’t mean to doze off like that, dear god i’m sorry—“
“i-it’s fine. i promise, it’s okay.” she waved her hands around wearing a subtle and compassionate smile, nervously trying to make you understand that what you did was completely harmless.
you? you rubbed your eyes, groaning. you were still mentally slapping yourself for doing something that embarrassing; you rested your head and slept on a stranger’s shoulder. a stranger. it may not seem like that big of a deal, but to someone as socially awkward and anxious as yourself? this was suicide.
giggling to herself at your visible and quite frankly unnecessary distress, she slightly tugged on your shirt as a way to catch your attention. once she had it, she proceeded,
“you’re okay, it didn’t bother me at all, i swear. if anything, you probably need to get more hours of sleep if you just take naps on people’s shoulders like that.”
all you could do was look away in a guilty and embarrassed manner, she was right.
then, she spoke up again. “i’ll tell you what,” she smiled, before asking, “which one’s your stop?”
you stumbled on your words, still slightly fatigued, before answering, “uh.. l-lampfield.”
“ah,” she said softly, smiling politely, “that’s my stop too. it won’t be a while till we get there, so.. you can sleep some more.”
“but—“
“i insist. seriously don’t worry about it.”
“o-okay… alright.” you shyly nodded.
she gently wrapped her arm around you and placed her hand behind your head, carefully pushing it onto her shoulder yet again. a sense of relief and comfort invaded your entire body upon being in small contact with her hands, especially when her fingers nicely massaged your scalp.
with every word she softly spoke, she lit up the entire dark subway with light. she radiated light with her presence alone; not sunlight, though… something more discreet than sunlight, something that quietly heals you and keeps you safe from the nearby darkness, unlike the sun that exhibits it for everyone to see. something like… moonlight.
yeah, you figured it out, that’s what she looked like.
she looked like the moon.
maybe that’s why it was so effortless to just fall asleep around her.
you let yourself get comfortable as you leaned against her for support. and before you felt yourself get sleepy once again, this time from her tender touch, you heard her same familiar voice place in a few words. words that made you feel safer than any lullaby ever could, words that made you wonder if you would get the chance to ever ask her name.
“i’ll wake you up.”

Dipper Pines relationship hc! ↟
Pairing(s): Dipper Pines x Gn!Reader
The only way a relationship with Dipper is possible is if you’re directly involved with the mystery shack
Bonus points if you weren’t Mabel’s friend who she introduced to him
You probably were interested or dragged into the super natural activities that the twins had stumbled into so that’s what got you close
Now, in the beginning of his crushing on you, it was definitely because you were into whatever nerdy thing he had to say 💀
You’d probably back him up to an extent and that definitely helped especially with people like stan and Mabel who team up against him to tease
Especially if you believe in him and choose to stick by him and help, then he’d definitely develop a crush.
If you’ve been buddy buddy then the sudden change in dippers demeanor is certainly a stark contrast
Now he gets nervous or even a bit hesitant at the slightest indication of, well, anything 🧍♀️
If his obvious acting isn’t enough to tell you that he likes you then Mabel would probably be the one to accidentally spill
Well regardless, if you approach him and confess your shared feelings he’d probably be so shocked 😭
He’d need some space and time to think it over because not only is he pretty young but he never even considered the possibility of you two being together
Once the two of you get together he’s the definition of awkward
I mean, sure you’re besties or whatever but when the more romantic things happen… he’s not the best
I mean he’s more logic based than anything so that’s to be expected but doesn’t stop him from getting whiplash every time 😭
Once the secret is revealed to Mabel she’s insufferable
She wants to tell everyone and once dipper just doesn’t care, she does 🧍♀️
Now, onto the actual hcs
Nothing much changes from when you were friends except for how other act around the two of you
Most times now grunkle stan will have the door open rule and you two are practically open targets for whoever feels like teasing the two of you
Even if dipper does as little as helping you out with something Stan and Mabel are having a field day 💀
Most times you and dipper just hang out whenever really, and there’s always a supernatural aspect of it
So there’s no surprise when the opportunity to actually do couple things arises
The two of you don’t really ever show physical affection
Mostly because people in your lives act like those teachers at school restricting pda-
But let’s go into that
Dipper doesn’t ever really participate in physical touch all that much besides when he’s forced to by Mabel but yknow
I mean sure, he hugs people sometimes but it’s different since it’s you
I mean, it’s romantic unlike his hugs with others
So whenever you do it’s honestly awkward 😭
Like he’s kinda stiff and you’re just there 🧍♀️ but it gets better dw 💀
He eventually just tells himself it’s “no big deal” and tries his best
I mean eventually it’s not a big deal when you show affection but that doesn’t make his blush any less obvious
The same thing when holding hands
Most times others just tease about the pda and stuff
I mean that’s to be expected but when you first hold hands he sorta refuses (?)
Eventually he just claims that his hands are to sweaty and he’s just not ready for that 😭
Ok ok so I know I’m painting an image of dipper that makes him seem unwilling to hug or give any form of physical affection
But that’s really not the case
Like whatsoever
He’s just pretty young and never been in a romantic relationship so he’s just awkward
Promise he’s not running away 😭
The fact you guys were close friends before really helps a good deal since it’s less awkward yknow?
Well anyway,
Dipper really appreciates someone who is there to back him up and like the things he does
If you’re calm and use emotions rather than intellect then honesty you guys are a pretty good balance
Especially since you help him see things he normally wouldn’t have
If you ever ever mention or walk into him singing ABBA I mean BABBA
Then he’ll scream 💀💀
Literally
He so freaked out and if(most likely) you’re also a fan then he luckily isn’t weird anymore
Ok so I’m sure anyone whose reading this (basically just likes dipper) has researched everything on him
So when you’re just hanging out or sum dipper turns to you and tells you his real name
And I know for some this isn’t even a big deal, like ??
But it’s cannon that dipper really doesn’t like his name and prefers to not even speak of it
And cmon, if you knew dipper you’d be curious on his name right? I mean atleast to some degree
So when he tells you it’s mason I mean it’s sorta anticlimactic but it’s good to know he trusts you
Plus, he just asks that u don’t tell anyone or call him that so 🤷♀️
-
While writing this I just realized how similar him and hiro are

yknow what i had an epiphany this morning. i think a lot of the "older ppl treating kids like they're stupid assholes" problem comes from the well-intentioned place of, as we get older, we DO learn and grow, and when we are older than a given person we want to reassure that younger person that like, listen, you'll survive this, or you'll figure this out, or so on.
and because it's coming from good intentions a lot of adults just don't realize it's not actually that useful to kids or teens or early twenties ppl who need to be heard and listened to and helped NOW. especially because when we were younger, everything felt like dismissal, if not derision, but now we're older and we think we're being reassuring and helping younger people learn perspective.
but i can tell you it still looks like derision on the outside, and i bet you anything a ton of the adults who treated us like shit thought they were helping too. "it gets better," "it takes practice," "you'll figure it out," is all like, TRUE, but when you're 5 or 12 or 18 or 21 it doesn't address anything going on RIGHT NOW. around like, 26, "it gets better" started TO be helpful to me because i'd lived through enough shit that this is a real, tangible, proven fact, and not just something i have to trust even though it FEELS abstract and frankly doesn't actually do anything to help me with a problem Right Now.
like. you know how so many people genuinely don't expect to live past 16, then 18, 22, etc? i think this is a big factor into why it usually kinda stops after 22-25, because, well, you HAVE lived every time, and you HAVE found the truth in it gets better, you'll figure it out, etc. but before that it feels insurmountable. and frankly, for a lot of people, it IS insurmountable. youth suicide rates are absolutely insane.
i think i can see this bigger picture mostly because i've just thought about it a lot, because the shift from "everyone i know agrees we'll never treat kids the way adults treated us" to "why are all these decent, compassionate people treating kids like shit?" was so jarring and apparent to me, but if i dig deeper i've fallen for a lot of little traps too. it used to annoy the shit out of me when younger people disregarded anything i said, until i stopped and realized all i WAS saying was, "it gets better," and not only does that not help or solve anything Right Now, but it (not inaccurately) implies that this isn't a Real Problem, it'll solve itself, you'll be fine. and that feels so belittling and demeaning and dismissive when you're younger and you just haven't lived through as much shit yet. i remember being told shit like this! it feels like no one cares. it feels like i'm not Allowed to be hurt or upset or angry until i'm old enough that any problems i still have become real to other adults. it SUCKS.
and ironically i figured out why this kind of reassurance—which has its place and is absolutely useful and good in the right contexts!!—sucks when you need help or relief NOW through a friend who was going through something i went through when i was 13. like. to me, this was already proven as Things People Can Survive, but to my friend, this was the first time it was happening. this had never BEEN survived by them before. they were almost 30 when we had this conversation!
and it made me realize how patronizing and useless "it gets better" sounds when you've never even SEEN better yet, and even if you had, what good is "better later" when you're hurting now? i think kids get SO MUCH "it gets better" and not nearly enough "help now" that of course it feels like dismissal and excuses and resentment. and if we as the adults who have survived things aren't careful, it CAN literally at its core BE those things. it sure was for me!
edited to add: like i think the biggest thing i see happening is kids being treated like stupid dramatic jerks for Feeling Things. and i think a lot of these kids would be a lot more receptive if they were ever told, "hey, the feelings matter. even if in 5 years this doesn't hurt anymore, it hurts now, and that deserves to be acknowledged and helped now." like that'd often what i wanted at least. i almost didn't care if it stopped being hard later, it's hard NOW, it hurts NOW. you survived it, great, how do i survive it? what did you DO to survive it? what would you do differently to survive it now that you're older?
#yoshi talks#sorry for all the no rb. you see i don't trust tumblr but i do trust the ppl i know and love who've fallen for this too#suicide //

oh no, I'm sorry. I didn't ask to try and get you to give information about yourself you'd rather keep private. I personally don't care what anyone's ethnicity on here is. I wanted to ask that because I wondered about the thought process behind the renaming of mixed anglophone trans people. Also was thinking about the potential societal pressure mixed trans people might feel to conform to some degree when renaming themselves. I know some immigrant parents give their kids local names to fit in
so I thought maybe t. people do that too and wanted to ask you that. Tho I realize my question wasn't clear on that. I don't think you need to worry about talking abt your ethnicity tho. Atrocities sure, EVERY people have a history of them. They're always committed by a group of people tho. It's never a defining trait of an entire population. You shouldn't have to add a disclaimer like that. If people online or where you live have made you feel bad about that I'm sorry, but they're blockheads. or not just mixed people but also 2nd gen immigrants and such. well it figures that people would consider naming themselves in their other native languages as well. I guess the everyday racism can be too much when coupled with the transphobia. I don't think you are a coward at all.
Oh no don't worry, you're good, it's just that I'm being careful for general internet safety reasons/not being visible to parents or employers here. I don't mind sharing my naming process in more detail (I'll add it under the cut in case it answers any other questions you had).
The disclaimer was definitely me being hypervigilant because of tumblr being tumblr moreso than from actual bad experiences that have happeend to me. Generally people don't even know the history of the area well enough to use it to justify racism against Turks, but I have seen it happen a few times. I mostly just don't want to be associated with Turkish nationalists, but yeah it really isn't something anyone should have to worry about when saying what ethnicity they are. I do think that if, say, Kurds or Armenians hate Turks that's kinda justified though.
Anyways I hope this helps answer some questions? I can't say racism and transphobia weren't things I thought about, but I pass pretty well as cis and white, so they were probably less significant than for some others.
Funnily enough, I think my dad (Turkish) who actually wanted to give us more typical English names as kids but it was my mom (white) who was like "nooo it's so much more interesting to give them Turkish names" and didn't really understand why he was apprehensive about it until we started like, getting shit at school for it lol. 2000s islamophobia + elementary school kids parroting youtube and all that lmao
I actually didn't really have memorable incidents in high school, just everyone mispronouncing the name to a point where I just kinda stopped bothering to correct everyone. I was probably less bothered by that than most cis POC would be, since it wasn't a name I really intended on keeping anyways. I did consider whether or not I should go with a Turkish name, but I was mostly just like "man this is annoying, I don't wanna have to explain how to say my name all the time" yknow? I also didn't feel particularly strongly about wanting to keep a Turkish name since like... my parents had some bits of Turkish stuff around at home, but I can't speak the language and I wasn't really raised with distinctly different cultural values or religious practices from the average white kid. It's not that I don't think it's important, and I understand why it's important to a lot of other people, but it didn't feel critical enough to me to have a signifier to everyone about it.
(Plus, uh. Kinda heavy but my mom was catastrophizing at the time about how me transitioning would impact the family and threatening suicide if people found out that I was trans and traced things back to them, so I definitely didn't want it to be anything that would give hints for that.)
Michael was actually an impulsive compromise with myself around not outright kin naming (Mikaela -> Michaela -> Michael) lmao. I don't regret it though; it's been so fucking funny having a common name so I can get online "hate" messages like "why is your name Michael" and so friends can send me new shit like this regularly

HEY SHUT UP IM BACK AT IT AGAIN LETS GO
So im thinking he takes mostly after the mime aspect, really committing to the bit and only very rarely cheating with invisible items, mostly he uses this method to practice at home (whether that's an actual apartment or a secret hideout is TBD) and does actual mime work for his acts, both criminal and genuine performances for entertainment purposes. Obviously his criminal career clashes with the clown code so he can't register as an official clown, but he still puts on shows at Arkahm Asylum for the inmates sometimes, he doesn't really get sent there himself he just likes busting into the place. At first it was to annoy Jazz at work but he's become something of a favorite to a lot of the regular rouges there.
Now the thing about Danny is that Mime is a weird vibe for him to go with, right? I mean we know Danny, the guy cannot stop quipping to save his half life! So what's the deal? Why mime? Can't just be the black and white aesthetic right?
Well, I posit to you, dear Phandom: There's a very good reason why Dan only developed his ghostly wail when he did, and Danny should not have been allowed to develop his so soon.
It is made a big deal out of that he's even capable of this at the age of 14, but it is a power born out of necessity and desperation in its case and like a lot of drastic measures, it takes its toll.
Not only is this ability a strain on the rest of his ghost power, as we've previously seen it physically drain his energy, but it also wasn't meant to be used by anyone with a physical, mortal body. That's why Dan is able to develop this ability with seemingly no backlash, he takes the time to get to know his new form and learns how to harness its power to the fullest, studies his strengths and weakness and only then unleashes this destructive new power.
Danny didn't have the time to do all of that, so when he realized what he had been doing, how he was slowly destroying his vocal chords, he had to make a decision before the choice would be taken from him by his body's continuing deterioration.
Does he continue using the ghostly wail and eventually destroys his voice as Fenton, destroys his human vocal chords allowing only Phantom to be able to speak? OR! Does he take a vow of silence as Phantom, never again using his ghostly wail or speaking a word in his ghost form, so that Fenton could keep his voice?
Fenton only ever had his voice, and now he had Phantom too, but that couldn't always be relied on and was too often a hindrance as much as it was help.
So Danny made a choice, but that didn't mean he'd stop using his powers to help, in his own feral way.
He recalled enjoying the freedom of being a circus act, just not exactly loving the not freedom of being mind controlled into it, and seeing as the truth of his origins had come to light he figured he could lean into both the comedy and the darkness, become a goth clown, Sam would love it!
Gotham comes to know him as a whispered shadow, much like Batman once was when people weren't sure if he was even real.
Their Silent Knight.
(I don't have a concrete name for him yet, that's just what Gotham calls him the way Batman is the dark knight, but one name I'm playing with is Dead Air. Yknow cuz like, aerial stunts, and also ghosts, and also synonym for silence? There's precedent for names like that with Deadman... maybe he should be Deadair? That don't look right to me tho... anyway, workshopping it!)
He uses his powers of speed strength and flight to pull of literally impossible feats of acrobatics that make Dick jealous, ice and ecto blasts make for easy slapstick and can be shot discreetly enough that really only the bats and even then, only the bats who are actually there to witness it happen would ever notice, as ecto activity has a hard time showing on camera fully in tact if it even showed up at all.
And despite never using his voice, he never had an issue expressing his sass and roasting both bats and rouges through miming alone.
Anyway yeah that's all for now, let me know if you want more of this AU!
I found a chart for some simpler clown breeds in case anyone was wondering about the breed of their beloved clown companion(s)
(I don't know who to credit as this has been re-posted on many platforms many times)
#dc x dp#dee writes#dee's aus#silent knight#Danny Phantom outclowns the joker#With how common a trop this is how is it not a tag alreday#lets make it a tag#i believe in us#oh also#clone hybrid batjoke Danny

Performance Review
“Babe!” you squealed with excitement, practically skipping over to your husband’s desk as soon as the elevator doors opened into the bullpen. “Babe babe babe!”
Faking an exasperated sigh, he took his reading glasses off and absentmindedly threw them onto the desk, turning his attention to you and noting the cute frown on your face. “How come you came in all excited but now you’re lookin’ at me like that?”
“Because you have to be more careful with these, Jethro,” you admonished him, delicately folding his glasses and giving them a little pat after placing them next to his beloved coffee mug. “You’ve got beautiful eyes and I don’t want you straining them.”
“Are you my wife or my mother?” he grumbled in response, stretching his hands toward you to pull you in for a kiss. Instead, you used two fingers on his forehead to push him back, disgruntled.
“Why would I kiss you after you just compared me to your mother?”
“I wasn’t comparing you, just saying that- nevermind,” he shook his head, laughing at your antics. “Now cmon, what’s got you all excited?”
A sudden blush crept across your cheeks and you found yourself growing shy. “Maybe I shouldn’t say,” you mumbled, nibbling anxiously on your lip.
“Y/N,” he drawled out, squinting at you and trying to discern just what was going on in that head of yours. “I know everything about you, hon. How bad could it be?”
“Well not quite everything,” you clarified, trying to muster up enough courage to admit your deep, dark secret. “It’s just- well I’ve been- I started a blog online where I write stories about you and people really like them.” You rushed out your admission of guilt as fast as possible, swinging your hands up to hide your face.
“You did what?”
Peeking out between two fingers, you smiled sheepishly at your husband. “People really like cop shows and they especially like the handsome men on them, so I just thought I’d provide some clarity as to the real thing. But I write it as fiction!” You were quick to clarify, grimacing at the shell shocked look on his face.
“You… write about our cases?” he quirked one eyebrow up.
“Not exactly,” you countered, moving behind him to massage his shoulders, a trick you had learned early on when you were dating that turned your man into putty beneath your fingers.
He hummed in appreciation, closing his eyes and letting his head fall back against his desk chair. “Then what?”
“Sometimes I write about our dates, yknow how sweet and romantic you can be despite how tough you are on the job.”
“Y/N,” he repeated your name, opening one eye to glance up at you. “I interrogate people for a living. I can tell when you’re skirting around the truth.”
“Okay! Okay,” you huffed out, steepling your fingers together and pressing them against your mouth. “I maybe kinda sorta mostly write about how good you are in bed?” Your voice ticked upward in anticipation and you closed your eyes, readying yourself for a patented Jethro Gibbs tirade™️.
Your eyes flew open at the sound of choked laughter and you smacked your hand against his chest, indignant. “Don’t laugh, Jethro!”
“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” he managed to apologize between his hearty chuckles, curling a hand around your hip and pulling you close to him. He slipped your phone out of your back pocket and used his fingerprint to unlock it, something you were impressed he recalled how to do despite refusing to use a “PDQ” just a few years ago. “Which one of these is it?” he asked seriously, finger hovering above the various apps on your home screen.
You clicked on the colorful little “t” for him, hesitantly navigating to your blog.
Slipping on his reading glasses once more, he squinted at the screen before clicking on “# jethro gibbs”
“You couldn’t come up with a character name?” He frowned up at you playfully as you stood by his side, and you shrugged in response.
“Takes me out of the story,” was all you offered by way of explanation. “Are you.. actually interested?” You watched his eyes run over your page, skipping down to the header titled “NSFW” and a blush once again crept over your cheeks.
“Jethro,” you whispered, appalled at his boldness. “You can’t read it here, it’s literally not safe for work!”
“Shush,” he admonished you in return, pulling over another chair and patting the seat to indicate you should get comfortable. “Consider it a performance review from HR.”

Things I hope to see in the next season of Cobra Kai:
I GUESS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5
Hector aka Miguel’s dad returns : Opens a door for Johnny and Carmen’s relationship to develop when it’s her past lover that reenters her life. Johnny’s past already made an appearance now it’s Carmen’s turn. Maybe he appears to be a nice guy/ a changed man now that he knows he has a son. Maybe miguel is still vulnerable and in denial enough to buy into his bullshit even for a little while. Maybe he will use miguel in his “businesses” once he sees what an asset he could be based on his fighting or smthg. All in all i want to see this dangerous man in action like don’t tell me he is, show me. Like him telling miguel about what happened in Ecuador and running from the FBI feels like a tease and it’d be a waste to leave him in the dust.
Step away from the plot for a sec and focus on the characters’ growths: i feel like this season too many things were happening like they’re setting up for the big match and neglecting what could be important character arcs and journey. Like Tory this season, yes we see her struggle in Cobra Kai but I want to see her battling this and coming out on top. See her contemplating returning the trophy, wanting to tell robby, seeing how Devon is getting poisoned by Silver and Sensei Kim; things like that. Same goes for all of them especially the teens like the adults i feel they’ve mostly sorted things out this season. Namely Daniel. Oh and seeing Johnny settle into becoming a dad. A good better one, i want to see that development.
Robby and Miguel being awkward brothers: it’s still weird to me how they can just let go of 4 seasons worth of bitter rivalry and miscommunication like with a snap of a finger. Maybe despite their shared interests in girls, they have different interests and hobbies and basically just them having the chance to have a heart to heart where they actually talk it out yknow. Maybe robby can confess how he felt jealous of miguel’s relationship with johnny and maybe even confessing how he’s scared he might feel the same towards the new baby or that johnny would let them down again. Maybe (most likely) miguel would also confess his jealousy of robby having a present father and confessing what happened in mexico with his dad. Then they’ll comfort each other and be like they have each other’s backs and all. We saw protective miguel maybe we’ll get protective robby too.
Prime Miguel: this boy has been through way too much for him to lose another tournament. Since I hope his father would have a part in the tournament -whether he’s partnered up with a dojo or is a judge or something- it would be the time and place for him to show his dad that he shouldn’t mess with miguel. I want to see him tap into that ruthlessness and confidence he had in the first season of cobra kai but more refined now that he has had more practice and more styles and sensei than before. Right now I don’t think he has found his balance like Hawk but thanks to his father, he will and he will be unstoppable.
#cobra kai#miguel diaz#robby keene#tory nichols#eli hawk moskowitz#eli moskowitz#cobra kai hawk#samantha larusso#cobra kai spoilers#cobra kai season 5#ck 5#wishful thinking#i miss no mercy miguel ngl#robby deserved better

first, let me tell you something- i don't know how to write poems.
yeah. really.
'cause all everyone ever talks about is fucking sunsets and trees and water and death and you can pick em apart tryna figure out what they're really saying but-
i don't know how to write poems.
honestly, everything i say is just what i feel. when i say my anger burns like fire and claws at my bones i'm not being poetic.
i'm saying that because when i'm angry my bones ache, my hands shake, and my muscles feel like they're on fire. they're's no poetry in how i speak, you feel me? it's just how it is.
that's why whenever i try to write i poem i end up writing more of a conversation than of a poem.
i don't know how to explain any of it. i don't know how to write poems.
it's like- there's this chaos inside. and it's so loud, and i need to say something but i can't. i can't. i need someone to listen but nobody wants to hear the ill-worded speech of someone who's so emotionally blank it doesn't know how to fucking express it.
actually, i just stared at a wall for a few minutes, and someone who was made for this, made to make beautiful things, would probably say something, they'd spout some shit, and i wouldn't understand it but it would make me feel something, even if i can't fucking figure it out.
they'd probably say something about nature and chaos and the soul and love and
i don't know much about love.
i guess. maybe that's my problem. all the poets are so in love with the world. they see all the beauty in it, despite everything.
anyways, that's not really what i was made for. it's just- it's just so beautiful, and i guess i thought i could make something beautiful.
i'm not good at this shit. i mean- i haven't written even one poem without swearing in it.
and yeah, fuck the puritanical ideas that words can be tainted with an f-bomb but sometimes it's just-
fuck. i don't know.
see there? i'm trying so say something poetic but i can't. because i don't know what i want to say.
sometimes it's just like, damn, they have something amazing going on there. and they don't even need to say it directly, yknow?
they can turn feelings into words and put them on a page.
i can't fucking do that.
and this isn't just me being pessimistic, it's just how it is. how i am.
yeah, sometimes i don't think i was made to make pretty things.
the other week, i put together the whole plumbing system for the basement sink 'cause we're renovating and it's easy enough.
i told my uncle it was just like putting legos together. he seemed impressed. i didn't tell him it was too easy to require congratulation.
it's like - like i'm a wolf. except instead, they're forcing me to be a lapdog.
and it's - it's nice, i guess. i don't really mind it? but - it's not right. the real lapdogs are good at it. they're cute, they're comforting, they love it. i hate it. i don't. i don't know.
(hey look, i used a metaphor.)
it's just... off. look, i'm trying but it's off. i'm big and i have teeth and honestly i never really got the 'love' thing to begin with. i want to kill them all but i love them too. i haven't eaten something i killed in years.
let me put it this way - i practice my bass a lot. i'm pretty good too - but mostly because i practice when i think i'm gonna punch a fucking wall, which is pretty often if you're me. i can play really fast but people don't know that it's the adrenaline that gets me through it at first.
it's just that i'm not good at it. it's not a practice thing either, because i've been writing and talking my whole life, and you'd think that a decade and then some would be enough to at least be able to express myself but it's not.
and - i'm all over the place. what is this "poem" even about? because i don't know. i don't write to make it be beautiful - i don't create for any other reason that i need to say something and if i don't i'm gonna kill myself or someone else.
and that's not a metaphor. because i'm not a real poet. i do this because i have to, or someone is going to get hurt. i hate having to write poems.
i'm just blowing my brains out my head; it's not my fault it made a pretty fucking pattern.
maybe one day i'll see a beautiful sunset and then i'll feel something that'll make me rush to write it.
maybe one day i'll write a poem because i'm happy.
fuck, not to be depressing or some shit, but i don't think i've ever actually been anything other than angry.
it's all a ruse, you see? underneath the numbness there is apathy and below that is anger that burns so hot that i choke on it as it comes up my throat.
that's not a metaphor, either. that's just what it feels like.
so yeah, i'm a fraud. sorry. i'm not in love with anything. i don't hate anything either.
the problem is, i can't feel anything good. i can't feel happy and i can't feel that i'm in love and i can't feel hopeful.
fuck, i can't even feel scared because all i feel is that adrenaline rush every time i wake up. i don't know what it is.
so, judgement, yeah? i don't think i really have that. good calculations, good predictions, but not good judgement. there's a difference, even if they mean the same thing.
judgement is more emotional, i guess. exposing myself like this is weak. and maybe it's not, but it fucking feels weak.
i was shaking when i first wrote this. i couldn't feel anything but i was shaking. i'm not shaking right now. i guess i just don't care(?). i don't know how to name these feelings. i don't know how to feel these feelings.
sorry i let you all believe that i was actually, you know, creating. the truth is i'm alone and pissed and good at making people believe that i'm someone i'm not.
Did you make good judgment?
#I FOUND THIS IS MY DRAFTS HOLY SHIT??? PAST ME YOU OKAY THERE BOY#YOU HAVE NO BUISNESS BEING THIS REAL TF#POSTING THIS THO BC I KNEW YOU WANTED IT#poetry

Enhypen as your Best Friend: Jake edition
Check out other members’ versions too: Heeseung | Jay | Sunghoon | Sunoo | Jungwon | Ni-Ki
Is so kind, caring and selfless that he makes you feel like the spawn of evil or something.
“Jake, what the hell? You have all these cards, you could have won instead!” You shriek when you flip his cards over and discovered that he had enough +4 UNO card to flip the game over.
“Yeah, but you’d have to pick up like 20 extra cards,” he shrugs, picking up the cards to reorganize them.
“So?”
“Well, I don’t want to do that,” he mumbles before shooting you his signature megawatt smile, “Not to you at least. 10/10 would do it to Ni-Ki though.”
Always keep you at the forefront of his mind.
When he’s at the coffee shop: “Oh, I bet she hasn’t had her coffee yet,” and then he goes on to order you your usual.
When he’s at the bakery: “Oh, I bet she hasn’t had her lunch yet — gotta get her something,” and then he goes on to buy a selection of your favorite pastries.
When he’s shopping, “Oh, she really loves clothes like this — I’ll just get it for her.”
When he passes by a bookstore, “Oh, that’s the kind of book she likes,” then he quickly disappears into the bookstore to get it for you.
“What are you? Her mum?” Sunghoon would often complain as he is always the one being made to wait while Jake is busy getting you stuffs.
Quality time with him would consist of activities like baking nights; picnics; volunteer sessions and so on. Being the selfless lad he is though, he’d always take it upon himself to do the majority of the hard work (though he’ll slot in a chance to brag about himself in between especially if it concerns his strength or skills).
“Oh gosh, this is why restaurants and bakeries exists,” you complain as you rolled the dough for the umpteenth time.
“Let me,” he set down the cream he was mixing, offering to take over.
“Dude, no — you’re more exhausted than I am from your soccer practice, I have absolutely no right to compl-“
“Aww don’t worry about it. You’ve been studying all night too,” he assures, pulling a chair and beckoning you to sit down instead, “besides, I have the strength of like a hundred men so yknow things like these are peanuts for me,” he snickers.
Boi is flirty as heck though. Thank God, you have ice in your veins. Otherwise, you’d be catching feelings quicker than you can spell out his name.
“Do you want anything?” He asks as you guys stand in line at Starbucks.
You shook your head, “Nah, not a fan. I like Coffee Bean better.”
"Oh we can stop by later then," he suggests.
"It's fine Jake, we've already passed it by earlier."
Then suddenly after disappearing for some 15 minutes to allegedly take a call outside, Jake returned, oddly out of breath, with a Coffee Bean paper bag, filled with your usual coffee order.
“Dude! Coffee Bean is like what almost 8 minutes away by walk?! That's like a 16 minute return-trip or something...”
“Less if you run," he winks, “Come on, for you — anything."
Then as per his habits, he’d bite his lips as he grins.
Or that other time, during one of your baking nights:
“You know if you’re tired you can always cancel our baking night right?” You suggest as you unlock the door to your apartment.
“No way — it’s like our weekly ritual. Also it’s like therapeutic for me, a respite from all those rowdy boys at home; rowdy boys at practice and my hectic lifestyle,” he posits, placing the groceries, which he had insisted to carry, up onto your kitchen counter, “unless of course you’re tired? Then of course we can-“
“Never as tired as you’re supposed to be though — if you say so, then sure.”
“Aww,” he coos, “Seriously, if you’re tired, I’ll take over tonight.”
“No way, you’re always taking up my share of work, I feel like a freeloader.”
“Oh come on, freeloading is when it’s one-sided. We aren’t like that.”
“You must really like baking huh?”
“I mean yeah but actually, it’s not the baking per se that I love the most from our baking nights,” Jake murmurs as he help you unpack the groceries, “it’s being with you that I love the most. That’s the therapeutic part, you; making things together with you; making things for you; —“
You stopped unpacking and stare up at him, wondering what have you done so far to even deserve Jake. He stares back at you, beaming widely, “basically you.” ((Yeah he bit his lips after that))
As if there’s gravity, his hands are somewhat always on you whether it is an arm over your shoulders; his hand holding yours whenever you guys cross the road; his hand reaching yours whenever you just put a hand up to wave at him in the hallway; all the tackle hugs he does whenever he sees you; resting his head against your shoulders; and the list goes on (nothing you’re uncomfortable with though). No wonder the girls are always shooting glares at you — he’s always acting as if you guys are dating.
“Gosh, get a room!” Jay would always scream whenever he's around you two and Jake starts to get all clingy and handsy.
A good exemplary student but for you, just for you, he can make some sort of light concession. For instance, if you doze off in class, he’d cover your back.
“Oh crap, I dozed off didnt I?”
“A bit,” Jake whispers back, “Go back to sleep, I’ll wake you up once he starts moving around the hall,” he winks.
“Nah I shouldn’t, I’ve already missed out a whole page of notes,” you sigh when suddenly Jake pushes his book towards you, “Got you covered girl, don’t worry. Just get another 5 minutes of shut-eye alright? I know you pulled up an all-nighter last night.”
“I wish you’re as lenient to me as you to her,” Ni-Ki grumbles beside him.
Jake scoffs, “Nah not you bruh — you deserve being found out when you’re napping when all you do at night is playing games with Heeseung.”
Would excitedly wave at you, or send a flying kiss at you if he feels daring, during his soccer matches whenever he spots you in the crowd.
Playfully competitive in a very annoying way. “Hey, bet you can’t run faster than I can..." / “Hey, bet you can’t finish the homework within an hour..." / "Hey, bet you can’t squat more than I do...” — it’s ok though, you thought, ‘cus no human is perfect, he has to have a flaw especially when his selflessness is inhumanely off the charts.
Your study buddy! You guys are always either in the library, the class or at each other’s places — mostly to study (if you guys aren’t having your non-study-related quality time, that is). Of course, he’d get competitive eventually, “hey, bet you can’t solve question 12! I got it in just what 3 minutes?”
Boi is a coward but he would brave through anything for you (at least *try* to). That's how everyone knows you're his soft spot.
"Jake, you hate horror movies.”
“But you love the Conjuring series”
“Yeah, but I can just watch it alone. You don’t need to accompany me to the theatre for this.”
“Nah, why would I do that to you? Come on have some faith in me — horror movies are nothing.”
and then you found out from a trusted informant (Jungwon) that Jake couldnt sleep without the lights on for 1 week straight after that.

Hello!! Could you possible write comfort headcanons with Mondo, Byakuya, Kaito and Makoto (seperately) with gn reader who had a nightmare?? i just want to have some comfort cause my mental health isn't doing great these days ;o; if you don't want to, thats okay! I hope you will have a great day! ✧*。٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*。
NIGHTMARE HCS • makoto, byakuya, mondo, kaito x gn reader
when mondo owada <3 but yes of course! ive never had a nightmare so i hope i captured this accurately enough. feel free to talk to me, my dms are always open. sorry if these are a little short by the way, but i still hope you enjoy!
tws/cws: nightmares.
|| -> mod taka <3
makoto immediately jolts out of bed when he feels you move harshly. when he looks over to see if youre okay, he sees that youre still asleep, but your body is practically moving on its own.
he figures that youre probably having a nightmare, because he can hear you mutter restraints under your breath. in a panic, he quickly shakes you until you wake up.
asks what you dreamed about, and if youre okay. hes never had too many nightmares, but he knows that they can be scary, so hes ready to let you vent.
when you tell him what the dream was about, you were still shaking and your body was still on very high alert. makoto sighs in a sad tone, going away for a second to grab you a cup of water to calm yourself down.
he knows that youre probably too scared to go back to sleep, so he suggests that you two should pull and all nighter and do some fun things together. yknow, to help you calm down.
the first thing you do is most likely watch your comfort show, or watching anything that will calm you down. makoto does everything he can to maximize your comfort, your happiness does matter alot to him.
talks about topics that he knows you enjoy. will talk about your hobbies, characters you like, any uncommon interest you have, your favorite animals etc. etc... you guys will talk for hours on end, and next thing you know, you forget about your nightmare.
will order some of your favorite food so you can watch it over a funny netflix show, and binge all the episodes until its afternoon, and youre both passed out from lack of sleep on the couch. the tv is still playing in the background as you have a nice dream.
will stay up a little later than you for a few night after that, so if you do have another nightmare, he'll be wide awake to help you out again.
is the lightest sleeper from the group. the moment you make even the slightest noise of discomfort, hes awake insantly. and tonight was one of thoss nights. he woke up at the start of your nightmare, and quickly woke you up before the dream got worse.
when you wake up in a panic, his calming presence quickly ground you back, youre mostly calm by the time he asks you if you had a nightmare.
you say yes, and you start to share what the nightmare was about. luckily, it was very short since he woke you up before it started to get really scary, but it was still terrifying in a way.
looks at you in a sorrow manner when you vent about the dream. when you do finish ranting, he begrudgingly pulls you into a warm hug. hes not used to showing physical affection, but hes trying, so do bear with him for now.
nothing really is said after you talked about your dream, most of the night just turns into a big cuddle session. hes a surprisingly good hugger, and next thing you know, youre back to sleep.
is very worried about you, so he looks up some ways to stop nightmares before they can happen, instead of waiting until they do occur to wake you up.
he finds a few solutions, but he waits until the nightmares become a recurring thing before doing the things hes found online. maybe it was just a one time thing.
and, it was. you dont get another nightmare. but, just in case, he cuddles up to you every night since then, so you can be reassured that he'll always be there if you do get another bad dream.
understands what you feel when you wake up and you cant think straight. hes been through alot of nights where he wakes up in a cold sweat from a terrible nightmare, so he probably knows how to comfort you the best.
wont touch you until you calm down, you could probably get overwhelmed and he'll make it worse. mondo will just patiently wait for you to snap out of it, with no judgement in his eyes.
when you do start to tell him what happened, he listens very intently. just, hears you out. no one was ever there for him when he woke up after a nightmare, so he'll be there for you.
when you finish, he starts to share his nightmares as well. the man has probably never let anyone other than you hear what his dreams contain in his darker days. he trusts you.
you guys just spend the rest of the night in each others presence, hugging each other while you exchange stories. they slowly went from depressing stories, to stuff that makes them burst out in laughter.
he mumbles about some stories that he and his brother experienced together. its a funny story, but he doesnt seem to laugh as much at it. there was a strange emotion on his face, but he avoided the question when you asked.
you start to fall asleep in his arms as he says another story, this time about his old dog, chuck. in the middle of it, he looks over to see you deep in slumber.
smiles, and gives you a kiss on your head before sleeping as well. youre both there for each other when you have your nightmares, the other always ready to tell a funny story to cheer the other up.
has a much different approach to your problem. when you wake up, youre greeted by a worried kaito. he lets you talk about your dream for a bit, before telling you to get dressed, because you two were going somewhere.
when you get to the location hes leaded you two, its a mcdonalds. and right at the front, was shuichi, kaede, and maki, all waiting for you and him.
the rest of the night was spent going to random parks, buying things at cheap stores that you were probably never going to use, and eating as much unhealthy food as you could.
apparently, his friendgroup has this arrangement that whenever one of them is sad, they go out and have a small adventure. and now, youre a part of it too.
the image of everyone swinging on the rusty swings of an old playground, kaito trying to go down the slide, but accidentally getting stuck, and needing maki and shuichi to pull him out, is probably one of the most memorable images you'll ever experience.
you were all so happy and carefree. you quickly forgot about the dream as everyone had a contest to see who could drink the most coke, and shuichi spit it out because of the continous burn he felt in his throat.
when you get back at 7 am from the adventure, you go to sleep like a baby, remembering all the happy moments you saw. kaito slept next to you, happy that he was able to help you, and messaged the group to get ready for another hangout tomorrow in case the nightmare comes back. him and the group are always ready to calm you down from a bad dream, just message them and they'll be on the way.

How about a reader called for a walk (main 3 + 2bdamned + Sheriff) but they thought it was a romantic date
Yo, I hope it doesn't bother you. I would like to see it specifically from you <з
himbos.
Overprepared
HANK
He probably thought it was a normal walk too but Deimos, as soon as Hank notified him of them leaving soon for the walk....
"Oooo are you going on a daaaate?"
huhu BITCH you just made Hank reconsider all of their life choices
He ended up being. a Little late
But you were literally stunned off of your feet to see that mf in... a TUX????
WHERE DID THEY GET A TUXEDO
Why was he wearing it!?!???
He looked fresher than usual, and carried himself a bit more fancier
what the fuck?
Your jaw was on the floor, but Hank only waved at you, nodding in your direction
You couldn't move until he tapped you in the shoulder in concern HDJWJD
"O-o-oh y- uh- uhm- w- you- o- wha-"
Your brain was mush, he looked too pretty,......
And for What Reason???? This was just a nice walk out 😩
SANFORD
Knowing him he'd probably think it was normal at first but then start Overthinking
"What if that was a way they were asking for a date...?"
Then hed get serious
(that insinuates he wasn't serious before but like. He's more serious now (?))
Brushes his teeth one too many times
"Deimos does this shirt make my tits look too small"
"What the fuck San?"
You definitely were caught off guard when you saw him wearing a SHIRT of all things
AND he had his bandana off + hair all neatly done
hfsjrhsjdjd whaaa??
You couldn't stop periodically glancing at him
Finally, you relented, "why are you wearing a shirt?"
He looked down at it, suddenly getting nervous, "Just... wanted to get a lil fancy with it, yknow?"
"Hmm."
"Look, its not every day you get to go on a nice leisurely walk with your c... friend, let me enjoy this!"
"Fair enough."
DEIMOS
Oh forget him Thinking it, he outright asked it of you when you called him with the offer
"Hey Dei, wanna go out on a walk with me?"
"Whoa. You mean like a date?!"
"Wel-"
"SEE YOU IN 10"
He hung up in excitement, already running a hand through his hair- not wrapped up yet
Once again, Deimos tries his best
But oh my goodness ,,, help him
Deimos had his hair combed back, mint in mouth, wearing a snazzy navy sports coat and white t-shirt, along with black jeans
Man....
You arrived in your usual armor/clothes
You didn't want to dampen his spirits by saying it wasn't a date ngl
He went all out ON the date too
Pick-up lines, compliments, his arm interconnected with yours, etc
please help him hes a simp
2BDAMNED
Ngl probably another Hank situation
He thought it was a normal call until *everyone started whispering "ooo 2B is going on a daaaaaaateeeeee"
*everyone being deimos of course
He then takes time to brush out his Mohawk a little more,- (also want to mention I love his Canon hair :^] reminds me of my oc. and they would definitely be friends)- makes sure his lens are wiped clean, practices his vocals, stuff like that
I would say you'd notice the difference but 2B has a lot more logic than Hank in romantic stuffs so he keeps the changes to a minimum, so it isn't truly noticeable unless you thought into it too hard
But you didn't, and you two enjoyed the walk
You DID notice how he complimented you once or twice, which caught you by surprise
SHERIFF
His idea of romance was mostly inspired by elvis presley songs, wild west movies, and whenever he's seen sanford and deimos acting like a couple
So this mf heard "walk", took it, and morphed it into "romantic walk out to horse, which turns into a romantic horse ride with Sheriff playing the guitar romantically and holding your hand occasionally with romantic intent"
And he sticks by that plan
When you arrive, he's got a rose petal path waiting for you
And this is the moment you knew you fucked up
But I mean hey he treats you like royalty the whole time
He definitely plays guitar very well, even when on a horse carrying two people
Definitely convinces you to dance with him as a final part of the "date"
Why the hell not
*cue cotton eyed joe dance*
you two then slow danced :]
this was cute to write fjahfnwsk thank you for the fuel rostyy
#madness combat#madness combat x reader#madness combat hank#madness combat sanford#madness combat deimos#madness combat 2bdammed#madness combat sheriff#hank j. wimbleton#i made sure to give hank a bit of extra fanciness#jo... i feed you

I need to know how you got your art to be so expressive and flowy. It's so beautiful and I always love seeing your work.
JKDSMGK,,,,,,
THANK YOU SM THATS SO SWEET OF YOU
IM,,, GON TRY TO EXPLAIN MY ART THOUGHTS,,,
For the expressive part, it’s either about paying close attention to cartoons with good expressions OR checkin your own face out in the mirror!! For more realistic elements in my drawn expressions (even if they are supposed to be cartoon-y/anime-y, addin in some realism logic will enhance ‘em) I have either taken inspo from my own mug, my partner’s or my sister’s since we are all very facially animated. Checkin how your own face moves with Certain feeling is a varified way to get a nice expression on the paper. The movement of the facial muscles is very important to get somewhat a hang of, after all BUT!!! Important part to expressions is that you don’t focus Only on the face, the whole body moves along with a person. Hunched shoulders or a bit lowered head can do a lot for communication of an expression Especially in cartoons, there’s a rule that you should push an expression to it’s fullest potential. I also think about some ideas from stuff like traditional chinese threatre. They put on make up and elaborate costumes to enhance their features, so their expressions and character can pop out better
For the flowy part,,, bbrppbrrpbbb I have no idea how and when I started to do stuff more fluid
My art used to be quite stiff and for the longest time I defualted to thin and sharp lines
This was mostly because going Sharp and eliminating more rounder parts made sense in my head and helped me somewhat learn anatomy better. At least, in some cases it gave me a lesson about the torso to arms proportions n also kinda the legs. It’s why I recommend just kinda entering a stage where you just try and make sense of things, whether it be geometry, perfect straight lines or the more spherical ball things Ever. Going with the “basic shapes” like a circle for the head, triangle for the torso n so on might not be smth that will click in your brain
I was KINDA obsessed with learning anatomy as soon as possible even tho you don’t really have to go after that. One time I saw a pyramid of needs but like for artistic learnin and anatomy/realism were somewhere far on the top. Just go after what sparks the most joy, basically, but I didn’t know that back then so after every shower I would check out how my own body looks like from different angles. Yknow, thumbing where the rib cage ends, how does a shoulder connect to the torso, what the fuck is an armpit and how in the complete shittery does the neck connect to the head from the front
Cut like two years later, I think I’m enterin the Flowy arc
For the flowy, you KINDA disregard everything u’ve learned about anatomy Except the general idea of the proportions. I like to think about my drawings as part of an animation. From the picture that I’m making, there has to follow another and before it were also a few hypothetical drawings and together they gotta make up a movement. If I can’t see my drawing moving in my head, I’m not gon be too happy bout it
The main thing you want is a line of action:
And then you just,,, kinda build the body around it
Finding a brush that feels good and lets you develop a sketch style that makes u happy and lets you figure out where what goes cleanly also helps out. For me it was Luv and the the more faint sketch lines that u see up there ☝ give me enough space to be KIIIIIINDA messy about it but not overbearingly so to the point that I don’t know what’s goin on anymore
Practice, practice, take inspiration, study other people’s styles, disrespect anatomy, practice some more, don’t put too much expectations on yourself, don’t take every art “advice” too much to heart, let go of perfectionism, practice and you’ll get it!
#Spot says stuff#important thing about art i think is open-mindness. you want to find new ways to go about things n not get stuck on a thing#once saw an 'advice' that said one shouldnt make lineart like. allign. n i said 'like fuck im gon do that thats one of the Main Bitch-#-things of my style and it SLAYS' so basically do whatevs that feels good n not what peeps tell u to do

the dead poets at hogwarts: a headcanon from hell
@aedan-mills @charlie-dalton-simp @pretentious-strikes YOU ENCOURAGED THIS BEHAVIOR SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. also i love you a lot but THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.
also @aedan-mills i found out that some of the wand stuff is related to their birthdays and i am much too lazy to look all that up and figure it all out, but anyone else is welcome to lmao. sorry to disappoint but alas it's summer and i don't want to research that much. but other than that, please listen to me flex my extensive knowledge on harry potter :)
neil (half blood): i'm sorry,,,, can you say gryffindor? this boy would get up there and in a second the sorting hat would have him all figured out: big dreams with the will to pursue them, but not ambitious enough to step over others to achieve said dreams? sounds like a gryffindor to me. i just know he'd thrive at hogwarts, probably going on to play quidditch (def a chaser) and would excel in charms class. as far as pets go, i feel like he'd stay simple and classy with a chill barn owl he'd name after a famous broadway actor. he would kind of be a mix of james and remus, in which he's wild and crazy but still manages to get good grades. the teachers love him simply because they don't know much about him outside of class. he would absolutely LOVE going to hogsmeade and going batshit crazy at zonko's and honeydukes. he'd have a whole phase where he gets addicted to licorice wands and everyone else thinks they're disgusting but he simply cannot buy enough of them. he'd play a bunch of zonko tricks on the rest of the poets, saving the most harsh for charlie and the most wholesome for todd <3
todd (muggle born): ugh see i can see him being both a hufflepuff and a ravenclaw, but my heart says hufflepuff so i'm gonna go with that. he would absolutely HATE the sorting ceremony with a burning passion. getting up in front of everybody only to have a hat judge u??? no thanks. HAHAHA CAN YOU IMAGINE HIM ON A BROOM. i can't either because he would simply never get on one, probably referring to them as "flying death traps" more often than not. "hey todd, you think about joining quidditch?" "no thanks, i'd rather keep my limbs intact ;)". but he would love muggle studies a lot, even if the teacher was boring as hell. snape would scare the hell out of him for sure, resulting in his lowest class being potions. he would excel in classes that are more learning out of the book rather than in practice. for a pet, he'd want something that could not possibly turn on him and would just be sweet and loving, so ima give him a toad :) he'd name it something fancy and british, like nigel or sumn. and because of nigel, he'd love chocolate frogs because hey they're twins!!
fanon knox (pure blood): hogwarts fuck boy. okay well maybe not f boy but like...his favorite part is the fact that this is a co-ed school rather than an all-boys school so he can spy on both genders equally yknow. hmm i get hufflepuff vibes from him because he's a big romantic, sucker for cute relationships, etc. he would enjoy whichever class his current crush is in, although I feel like he'd do well with classes that involved spells and wand work mostly lmao. he'd want a really fucking cute pet, so i'd give him a kneazle (it's like a cat but a bit more lion like). he'd give it a strong sounding name, something german idk. but he'd love the shit out of that kneazle, i can tell you that much. i feel like he'd try out for quidditch his first few years, not make it on, and then make it on to the team around fourth year and somehow end up team captain in seventh (and that proves kids, that you too can have a redemption arc in sports). as far as candy goes, ima say he likes the super sour candy like acid pops n shit. like i feel like the others would dare him to each as much sour candy as he can and then he wouldn't be able to taste for a week. but he'd think it was worth it :)
cameron (muggle born): good god this boy just wants to learn. magic just fascinates him, what with growing up in a big muggle family (bestie he is the weasleys if they were all type a). he's a ravenclaw, no questions asked. he would love classes involving preciseness and attention, things like potions and transfiguration. i feel like he'd have a cute, stable relationship along the way ofc because he deserves so much love and happiness and UGH he's a baby. he'd stick with a lil ginger cat, naming it after one of the famous wizards he's read about. he would love spending christmas at the school and going places when the ground are nearly empty, enjoying the scenery. for candy, he'd go plain and simple with chocolate frogs. can't go wrong with those. he'd still have fun with his friends, but he'd skip a lot of parties for some studying (don't judge, i do it too lmao). would not play quidditch but would enjoy it, end of story.
charlie (pure blood): slytherin. don't dispute it. think the weasley twins but even more flirtatious. he would be a regular at every single party that happened, flirting with the guys and gals shamelessly and drinking butterbeer like it was water. look me in the eye and tell me he would not absolutely fucking HATE GILDEROY LOCKHART WITH EVER FIBER OF HIS BEING. he'd do spot-on impersonations of him though. teacher's worst enemy. like when he walks into class on the first day, every teacher collectively mutters "bloody hell not this kid again". asks the most incredibly stupid questions ("okay but is there a spell to turn my eyebrows green? just the eyebrows though, not my hair"). he would be the most aggressive beater on the slytherin team, though he would never deliberately try to hit someone, just distract the shit out of them ("put the fear of god in them and fate will do the rest"). he'd want a loud, aggressive pet but he'd probably end up with a mean cat that hisses at everyone. he'd give it the most adorable name that just. does not fit the personality. something like priscilla. for candy, he'd take his chance with bertie botts' every flavour beans and just roll with the punches. he's chaotic like that.
pitts (half blood): ASTRONOMY IS HIS JAM. he fucking loves that class. he tutors the entire ravenclaw house in that class. he's the guy that little first years who are terrified of the class go to when they're completely lost and don't understand what's going on. besides that, i feel like he'd just be everyone's cool older brother yknow? like he'd be in charge of helping all the first years figure out where stuff is and giving them advice to help them and stuff. he would be a die-hard quidditch fan although he would not play the sport (maybe recreationally on the weekends and holidays and stuff, but the fact that it's so fucking dangerous just does not appeal to him). he'd like the candy that does tricks and stuff, like fizzing whizbees and stuff. he gives me charlie weasley vibes, where he's hardcore in certain areas (in his case, astronomy) and just flipping chill in anything else. cool older brother vibes, man. it fits.
meeks (half blood): i've said it once and i'll say it again: nonproblematic ginger dumbledore. also a hufflepuff <3 this dude just wants to fucking coast along, getting good grades and not participating in the dumb shit that could probably get him killed (even though he would in a heartbeat if his friends were in danger. duh). he'd be a teacher's favorite, probably having conversations with his favorite teachers during free time. okay ik this isn't technically at school, but i swear to god he would be dumbledore one day. like he would be the chill ass headmaster who gets shit done while also being very la di da life is nice flowers are pretty type of person. that being said, his favorite candy is and has been lemon drops ever since dumbledore got him addicted to them. his favorite classes would be potions (he'd surprisingly get along well with snape) and he'd just be great and mixing shit right and just knowing how much of stuff to add in ("how much powdered root do i add?" "about three and a half shakes." "that's not a measurement, meeks." "*shrug* it works"). he'd stick with his small friend group and love them to death, but he'd be a friend to all really. he'll help anyone that comes to him asking for help with homework (and though he won't admit it, he gets super prideful when it's someone a few years ahead of him).
stick (muggle born): harry potter if harry potter could've been more harry potter. like he would just be a part of everything and end up being part of some prophecy that demands he'd save the world and at first he'd be like HEY i'm just a small boy but then he'd grit his teeth and finesse the shit out of this preventing the end of days stuff. he'd definitely be a gryffindor, and fucking proud of it. he'd be the seeker on the quidditch team because he is so short and small and yeah he'd fucking kill it there. he'd kind of be the shy one no one expected much from, but once he starts absolutely wrecking the shit out of the other houses' quidditch teams, he'd become sorta popular? like people would invite him to parties and stuff and he's too nice to say no, but he'd mostly just hang around the outskirts, saying hi to the other poets if he saw them and mostly talking to chris and ginny (danburry, not weasley). he'd like defense against the dark arts and minerva mcgongiall would become his literal mother i can't explain it. he'd have an owl as a pet and treat it like it was his own child, telling it thank you every time it brought his mail or took his mail. as for candy, he'd like drooble's bubble gum because the bubbles are all magic and shit and i just feel like that would make him so happy <3
chris (pure blood): the older sister lesbian <3 she'd be a sweet hufflepuff who would be friends with everyone while also being the greatest socialite the school has ever seen. you know that party that practically the entire school attended and talked about for months on end? she planned that shit. she'd be like pitts in the respect that she'd help all the first years find their way in the school and in life in general. she's just such a warm and kind person that everyone would love her. she's have a little pink pygmy puff to match ginny's purple one, and she'd give it such a perfect, human name like lila or something. she'd be great at muggle studies and all the teachers would love her. also every one is so invested in her relationship with ginny it's adorable. he favorite candy is acid pops even though they make her eyes water like crazy. she'd make pretty good grades, every once in a while getting one slightly lower than she'd expected, but she always manages to bring them up to her satisfactory level :) she would not play quidditch, but she would go all out to support ginny, even though they're in different houses. that's what i call love, baby.
ginny (half blood): the mom lesbian <3 she's a ravenclaw and also one of the sweetest people in the whole school. while chris helps other with the social aspect, ginny will help anyone in any subject they need help with (she and meeks are a help duo on this). she's quieter and less social than chris, but she's one of the best chasers the ravenclaw quidditch team has ever seen. she'd end up team captain by fifth of sixth year. she'd be like oliver wood in that she is sO invested in the team's success that at sometimes she'll go a bit crazy, but chris is always there to help her put things back into perspective <3. she'd make stellar grades of course, being good friends with all of her teachers. her favorite candy would be the sweetest things like fairy floss. as previously stated, she'd have a purple pygmy puff to match chris's pink one, and she'd also give it an adorable human name like lisa or something. ginny's just sweet to everyone, especially neil and his friends.
I DID IT. IT TOOK FOREVER AND A FEW HAIL MARYS BUT I DID IT. enjoy besties <3 love u all

ANYWAY i'm gonna get into this a little bit more cos i'm ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS SEASON!?!??! i need to hold onto this with my life. so i made this chart to describe my thoughts somewhat
bashara and rashad i'm 100% on but ranzo and bell are more questionable and mostly just there to complete the triangle. because i think it would be cool. BUT anyway.
bashara, before switching beys anyway, is a skilled blader. he is definitely the Smart character in the group and said outright to ranzo that he was better at analyzing beys than him and he was clearly right because ranzo managed to beat bell after bashara gave him a strategy. and, despite the fact that he did literally toss spellscraper to the side the moment rashad told him to 😭, seems to have had a strong bond with it beforehand. he was really attached to it and the others were all surprised he switched beys so suddenly. we'll see if he forms a bond with balkesh or if that becomes a conflict in the future. and now while it is pretty hard to make a judgement on how Good a bey is when you only ever get to see it up against s tier bladers (😑) it seems like spellscaper just didn't have all the bells and whistles that the other beys had, making it less Evolved, i guess. so how skilled and how strong of a bond do you need to outweigh having a lesser bey?
rashad on the other hand HAS the bey. in fact, on a technical level, he has the BEST bey, valtryek. but what makes a bey the best? all rashad seems focused on is the objectivity of blading. he's studied valt's strategies, he's made a one to one copy of valtryek, he's copied his launch form, his training routine, his diet, he's done it all!!! but he's still not good enough. he's still not BETTER than valt. how skilled and how powerful do you and your bey need to be to outweigh a lack of bond?
bell and ranzo.... honestly i think ranzo is closer to fitting the bill than bell is but unfortunately for ranzo i fear he has the kiyama curse of being completely looked over at every opportunity so i'm not sure they'd actually throw him into the Important Character Arc group. bu let's discuss him nonetheless. ranzo is a kiyama, and the kiyamas have a long history of being roktavor users. not a doubt in my mind they don't have a bond that could rival valt and valtryek's. we know he's got a good bey too since he somewhat modeled his after bell's, though he still made it his own. buuuut as stated by bashara, he's not very good at coming up with a strategy. for bell, like, i think up to this point he's just chosen Not to use a strategy yknow? like it's obvious he has the Ability to, given he was able to come up with something that even had free scared for a moment, he just doesn't HAVE to and certainly doesn't WANT to most of the time. bell's favorite kind of battle is attack vs attack. he likes a game of pure strength. he wants to brute strength his way through everything. and he's been able to!!! he DID manage to make belfyre so strong he didn't NEED a strategy in most of his battles. and we KNOW he has a very deep bond with belfyre since we see them chatting ALL THE TIME and belfyre even tries to cheer him up when he gets sad. so yeah i think the both of them Kinda fit? not nearly as well as bashara and rashad do though. but the question for them is how strong does your bey and bond need to be to make up for a lack of strategy?
i'm just very curious to see if they tackle these questions at all cos this seems like a VERYYYYYY cool set up for POWER CORRUPTION ARCS LOL but also the ultimate valt Power Of Friendship and also power of Practice and Hard Work arc. i think it would be interesting<3
