Ermmm so about the whole "don't expect a lot of art from me" bit

I lied. Go read @thescarletnargacuga's "The Bull" fic NEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

("The Bull"/"The Abstraction" is actually a pretty important character in this AU. I am not kidding, you'll all know eventually, I've been hiding some characters from the roster and The Bull is one of them. I've also been telling Scarlet a little bit more about this AU, and she had the idea to make a dream sequence involving The Bull and I am IN LOVE WITH THE SONGFIC.)

Okay but in all seriousness though, THIS is the last art dump you'll expect from me for a while so enjoyyyy :3 I couldn't help myself with these, the artstyle is SO easy to learn, and so much fun to try and imitate.

Once again thanks to Scarlet for writing such good fics for this AU! Y'ALL BETTER THANK HER TOO SHE'S BEEN FEEDING THE LOT OF US SUCH GREAT CONTENT

[sarahcmarie]

Cass placing things in people’s hands without saying anything cause she thinks it’s funny

Mid conversation Steph looked down and realized cass gave her a bunch of apples she has no idea where the apples came from or when she started holding them but cass was thoroughly amused

Tim is doing paperwork and cass starts handing him stuff he just held it In his lap at some point cass just leaves and he looks down to realize he’s holding

A screwdriver 3$ in coins a Backstreet Boys CD and a bottle of franks red hot sauce

Cass does this to her whole family she never intends to stop

[weewoow-20706030]

Reminder that Bruce Wayne is flexible. He is adaptable. He is Batman. And he will be whatever his kids need him to be because he is all of the above.

If his kids need him to be affectionate, if they need him to just be around him, if they need him to give them space. He can be whatever is needed from those he cares for.

listening to perverts while reading graphic minotaur smut… it’s what ethel cain wouldve wanted

[g3arbr3aker]

Sun bleaches flies is so max verstappen coded in this essay I will-

[smallpwbbles]

I'm very glad Caine ended up never punishing anyone despite his earlier claim

I love how he gave Kinger the best grade when he wasn’t even in the adventure

Also I love that he’s randomly… bull riding

[the-soup-specter-sillies]

royalteeth thoughts:

-caine liking bees is a reoccuring motif now!!! knger's type is officially Bug Enthusiasts

-or maybe... caine likes bees because kinger likes them <3

-caine made a whole separate specialized cowboy adventure for kinger. just for him. he was supposed to be sitting this one out but no!!

-he also gave kinger an a+. because he loves him. although honestly who wouldnt he rode that bull like a CHAMP

anyways despite kinger appearing in like 2 seconds total i feel FED TONIGHT

[jollmaster]

redesign trivia: Asmodeus

the youngest among the Sins, only a little older than king Solomon

quarter demon (his mother, Agrat bat Mahlat, is a half-breed; his father is famous king David), and de facto Lucifer's stepson

tall, strong, very similar to mother

bird-footed and snake-tailed; two pairs of horns, bull's and ram's

tattered shirt and shoulder pads which repeat animalistic motif

the embodiment of chaos, a demon of hatred, destruction, revenge and violence, including random sexual violence

an archaic monster who doesn't accept the concepts of creation, love, concent, faith and harmony

if Asmodeus can take something, who are you to forbid this?

it's so ironic that his mother is the one who punishes rapists and perverts

the only people Asmodeus genuinely patronizes are single childless warriors and warlords

CHARLIE'S GANG: Charlie, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Niffty, sir Pentious (and egg boiz), Cherri Bomb, Husk, Alastor (+ gang as humans)

HEAVEN: Adam, Eve, Lute, Emily, Sera

ADAM AND EVE'S CHILDREN: Cain, Abel, Seth, Awan, Azura

HELL: Lilith, Lucifer, Seviathan, Helsa, Razzle and Dazzle, Baxter

SINS: Beelzebub [Gluttony], Satan [Wrath], Mammon [Greed] (and Fizz), Belphegor [Sloth]

LUCIFER'S WIVES: Eisheth Zenunim, Naamah, Agrat bat Mahlat

VEES: Vox, Valentino, Velvette

OVERLORDS: Zestial, Rosie, Carmilla Carmine (and her daughters, Odette and Clara), Flaming Skull Guy

FRIENDS AND RELATIVES: Mimzy, Arackniss, Molly, Alastor's mom, Alastor's father

EPISODE 4 SPOILERS!!!!

I've seen some people question the scoring system that Caine gives the entire gang, and how everyone but Kinger has a B+.

Now, something that just crossed my mind right as I'm literally getting ready to go to sleep... is the fact that what if this scoring system was entirely up to the fact of whether someone had fun on the adventure/s?

It seems a little eh, until you think about the fact that Kinger is the only one with an A+, and man's out here living his best life grabbing the bull by the horns lmfao

Everyone got a B+ because even though they did their respective jobs, had minimal customer complaints and had a successful shift... none of them really liked it... none of them had fun in the midst of it all. So really, this scoring system is not a result of whether they did a decent job, it's about each of the individual cast's responses to their currently assigned adventure.

Just something to think about-

SPN FIC RECS : FEBRUARY

— will i do this every month? probably not. will i try my hardest? absolutely. got the idea from zepskies by the way, and i read a ton anyway so i thought i’d put together my favorites like i did for samcas. okay, enjoy! they’re all dean winchester x reader or oc.

@daylighted : baby!reader — binged the entire thing. it’s such a fun concept and i love the way baby is written. author’s synopsis : meet baby . . . again, because she's not someone that you should be unfamiliar with, if you know the winchester boys ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ a hunt gone wrong leaves dean without a car, and a personified version if it in its place ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ resilient and reliable, loyal and loving, baby is more than happy with the shift in dynamic ㅤ — ㅤ so long as it keeps her alongside her favorite person in the world, dean.

@jays-bonnie-on-the-side : are you ashamed? — my fav beau fic ever and if we ever get a part two i’m reblogging it a thousand times so everyone in the world can read it. author’s synopsis : beau had planned to spend the day with reader but when emily tells him she’s on her way to his trailer, he forces reader to leave before his daughter shows up.

@daylighted : saddled up — you will never understand EVER how much i love this little (14k) fic. i wish it was a twenty part series. authors synopsis : bull rider ! beau arlen x high school sweetheart ! reader !! home has never been a place but a person, and he's finally ready to go back to you . . . six years too late.

@wendichester : stick shift — everything she writes is incredible and this one was just so fun to me, loved it. authors synopsis : dean teaches you how to drive!

@copperboom82 : when we are together — written for my 500 celebration but i loved it so much that i binged the entire thing. (masterlist). it’s a dean x oc. authors synopsis : As Dean struggles to bear the Mark of Cain, Katrina seems to have a grounding effect... but Dean worries at what cost. Part of the Long Winding Roads collection (masterlist here), but can be read on its own.

@agirlwithdemonblood : the language of us — my fav insecurity fic cause it caught what i feel exactly. love how soft dean is in this. authors synopsis : Your love language is touch, but past heartbreaks made you afraid of being too much. Dean Winchester proves you never have to hold back—because while you crave touch, he craves you.

@zepskies : midnight espresso verse — honestly i reread it once a month so it’s going on here. love it so much and they’re the cutest couple ever. author’s synopsis : You’ve never taken Dean’s flirting seriously…until he asks you for an impromptu Spanish lesson.

THE BULL

A HARLEQUIN AU CAINE SONGFIC

Harlequin AU and ART credit: @tadc-harlequin-au @iamespecter

WARNING: angst, PTSD, guilt, anxiety, regret, alcohol

~~~

Caine dropped the empty bottle. Numb all over, he slouched in his office chair. His mind finally stopped screaming. Dizzying nothingness awaited him. It was the only potential bit of peace he knew.

Each and everyday, hiding from the sunshine

Wandering in the shade

Not too old, not too young

His soul still aches. That never changed no matter how much he drank. A pain that could never be silenced.

Every night again

Dancing with the moonlight

Somewhere far away, I can hear your call

A giant black bull, covered in colorful eyes, burst through the door. The horned shadow charged Caine, plowing through his desk and throwing him through the wall behind him.

I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind

Cuz you can run but you can't hide

I'm going to make you mine

Caine fell way too far before hitting ground. Getting up, the City of Circuits was on fire. Human families ran and screamed with their children. Puppets brandishing weapons pursued. Gunfire and explosions made his ears ring.

Out of my head, of my heart and my mind

Cuz I can feel how your flesh now Is crying out for more

The bull was back. Charging through the swarms of panicked people. It didn't touch them, having a clear path through the chaos to Caine. He tried to run. The ground beneath him crumbled.

Ain't No fairy tail what I see in your eyes

Awaiting your mistakes

Not too close, not too far

The abyss that swallowed him was lined with abstract eyes. He landed in something liquid. He couldn't stay afloat, no matter how hard he tried to swim. He went under, hitting the bottom. It was made of glass.

Sneaking in the pain

Every truth becomes lie

I won't trust myself

Once I hear your call

The roar of the bull was the only warning before impact. The glass prison shattered. The force of the bull tossed Caine like a ragdoll across the hard floor. It's hooves trampled him, excruciating pain stabbed his abdomen and head.

I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind

Cuz you can run but you can't hide

I'm going to make you mine

He saw what he thought was Pomni. She was high up on a platform. He reached out for her. She jumped. She landed face first into the floor, it broke on impact and she disappeared below.

Out of my head, of my heart and my mind

Cuz I can feel your flesh now

Is crying out for more

He screamed. He cried until his voice was gone. Then he was surrounded by Pomni. Over one thousand stoic harlequins stared at him. He couldn't look at them. He heard the bull again.

I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind

The bull charged through and the harlequins turned into hundreds of thousands of photos. The faces burned off of all of them. Caine was struck again. He didn't even try to get out of the way this time.

Out of my head, of my heart and my mind

The blizzard of photographs cleared to reveal scorched earth. The ground was littered with humans and puppets alike. Marionettes of all sizes lurked in the shadows.

I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind

Cuz you can run but you can't hide

I'm going to make you mine

Caine stood alone in a dead world. Only the bull remained. It pawed the ground and snorted, its many eyes all focused on him. He closed his eyes as it charged.

Out of my head, of my heart and my mind

Cuz I can feel how your flesh now is crying out for more...

The roar of the bull was the last thing Caine heard before he jolted awake. He was soaked with sweat and alcohol. Bottles littered the floor around his desk. He held his head in his hands. His whole body trembled.

He deserves this.

And he knew why.
