This is the last of my fnaf backlog stuff for now. I'd need to scour some older sketchbooks for more. Although I've been messing with colors, so that might be something I could share.

So I wanted to try my hand at redesigning some fnaf characters. I just didn't like how hideous they were for something that should be designed to be endearing to kids.

Details under the read more to avoid clutter.

My mom saw me draw Ballora once(not knowing it's fnaf), and asked me to draw more for her. So these are a couple of the ones she requested. I'm not sure why she was so fixated on multiple ballerina pictures. Anyway, I didn't like how...scantily clad... Ballora looked. So I gave her a more family friendly outfit.

I don't quite like the lore surrounding Ennard, so I just gave him his own design, rather than be an amalgamation of other animatronics. Molten Freddy/the Blob/Tangle can fill that role without Ennard. I've been workshopping an idea where each member of the Afton family has an animatronic that is meant to replace them in some twisted fantasy William concocted, via some type of soul stealing/remnant/haunting situation. Ennard is basically hunting for Mike specifically.

The puppet was a hard one to pin down. I liked multiple different design option. Until I just went with multiple. There's the Marionette, the Mannequin, and Poppet. All variations of the puppet. They gave me pierrot clown vibes, due to the black/white color scheme.

Ballora has four minireenas, each themed after an emotion. Joy, Gloom, Fury, and Awe. I figured it would give them more personality than they have in-game.

I've changed Circus Baby's name to Circee, because I don't like her canon name. She also seemed underdressed, so I gave her a more harlequin inspired look. I repurposed Balloon Boy, DD, and JJ to be her bidy babs for the sake of streamlining. It's a more efficient use of resources. I figured it was only fair that they all got actual names too.

Trying to keep marketing in mind, I figured it would make sense for BB to be "the boy", DD to be "the girl", and didn't want JJ to upset that balance and left JJ ambiguous. Not necessarily even nonbinary. Just whatever gender any individual deems fit. Poppet is actually the same way. They're just robots. FazEnt isn't committing to anything.

Ouughhh i get to present greek literature/mythology my inner mythology nerds being revived omg im so hapieeee

[ibijau]

partner said I should write down my prediction for Nolan's Odyssey thing because I am, as always, full of hatred

Anna Hathaway as Penelope. A fair choice. I think she can definitely pull off the dignified sorrow necessary

Zendaya as Calypso. I don't like it. At all. But somehow it's the one that makes most sense to me.

Lupita Nyong'o is either Circee or Athena. I'm not sure I like either. I think if she's Athena it'd be for the edgy fun cool factor and to call this a blind casting.

Christopher Nolan wants to fuck Robert Pattison so bad it makes him look stupid, so of course Pattison is Odysseus. I have mixed feelings about it. I think Pattinson can pull it off, but I also don't think I'll enjoy his acting choices.

Tom Holland is Telemachus because who else could he be. This isn't even a question. If he plays another character it will only be because for whatever stupid reason, Telemachus was made a minor character even though this story is as much about his coming of age as it is about his father's return

Matt Damon is there too. I don't know who he's going to be. Best guesses are either Poseidon, the Cyclop, or Odysseus's dad.

this movie is going to be rich in visuals and poor in substance, but everyone will act like it's such a deep and nuanced understanding of the story, even when it's clearly not

do you have any good reverse robins fic to rec?

oh hell yeah!

Reverse Robins: Joker Junior series by miyaji_08 i rec’d the second fic in this series over here for the timkon of it all, but the series—two parts, both complete—is also one of my absolute favorite reverse robins stories. it goes the joker junior!tim route, so heads up for A Lot of tim-centric trauma, but gives tim (and everyone else) so much healing, too. it also gets creative with the robin of it all, as in, the call sign for batman’s partner is different from the jump because dick wasn’t around to originate “robin” for it, which i always think is a fun extra detail. the batfam characters are great and the young justice crew is also great, so read for top-tier hurt and comfort and great characters and satisfying plot and tim and damian competing to see who is the most Tired big brother of the bunch.

blood of the covenant by envysparkler robins are angsty in any order, but man does this hit the angst sweet spot, which in turn makes the soft parts feel even softer. i genuinely can’t decide what my favorite dynamic is in this AU, between damian & tim (damian wracked with guilt, tim hurting and still wanting an older brother even if he’d never admit it) and tim & jason (no spoilers but chapter 4 especially lights my brain up like a supernova) and tim & dick (i think about the part where dick grayson [tiny, cheerful] uses tim [undead, annoyed] as a jungle gym like once a week).

Wing Beats in Reverse by firefright a longfic where jason gets kidnapped by the mysterious red hood, who turns out to be jason’s not-so-dead predecessor. the jason pov here is great, and i was so compelled by how this AU explored his place in the bat family, and how it managed the emotional fallout from the kidnapping. tim is also so interesting in this—it does something i love in a reverse robins concept, which is make tim’s motivations (and lazarus pit effects) less about anger/hurt/revenge and more about ice cold logic, about being the villain so the bats don’t have to/whether they want him to or not. plus some league of assassins trauma as a cherry on top. also, kon gets to show up for a bit. (as a fair warning—and spoilers ahead—the fic has a somewhat hopeful ending for tim, but doesn’t reach full reconciliation in the scope of the plot.)

i woke up so worried that the angels let go by circees a short but potent batkids age reversal au that’s also a grisha au, starring duke as the coveted sun summoner that damian is trying to deliver to safety without mentally adopting a new brother (damian fails on the second part). even with my limited memory of grisha lore i could tell a lot of thought was put into this au, and i have a feeling it would be even better if you are able to catch all the details. i also love that even in a fantasy world where some of the bat family have magical abilities, duke is still extra special—a great analogy to being a metahuman among the bats.

The 90s Are Back! by RedWritingHood saving the two silly ones for last to lighten the mood! in this one, red hood!tim gets de-aged to sixteen and meets all his new siblings. it’s like .01% angst and 99.99% shenanigans, and pretty much all the dialogue is super quotable but Dick holds out his hands like he's calming a bunch of wild animals. "Okay, I know everyone's real upsetti spaghetti right now, but I think we all just need to calm down." might take the cake.

Clowns Don’t Kill People by mademoisellePlume very short, very silly reverse robins brother shenanigans, in which tiny dick grayson isn’t scared of recovering joker junior!tim because dick, having been raised in the circus, doesn’t associate clowns with evil yet. the fic is fun (and a great palate cleanser if you need a break from the angst above), and the author’s note at the end made me fully laugh out loud.

[theticklespot]

Top 10 most ticklish DC heroines:

10: Wonder Woman

Tickle Spots- Armpits, Thighs

Ticklish- 8/10

Most common ticklers: Black Canary, Cheetah, Circee

Wonder Woman once found a little girl alone in rough neighbourhood and gave her a piggyback as she carried her to the nearest police station. On the way, the girl decided to see if Wonder Woman had ticklish armpits. The girl reduced the mighty Amazon to a giggling wreck in a matter of moments. She hadn't dared clamp her arms down for fear of breaking the human's fingers. Wonder Woman had no idea that the little girl was Circee, testing for weaknesses. But she figured it out soon enough, when she was tied up in Circee's cave and screaming in ticklish agony. When she saw that Circee had invited her feline friend, Wonder Woman felt a pronounced terror.

9: Powergirl

Tickle Spots- Feet, Ribcage and Armpits

Ticklish- 8/10

Most common ticklers: Supergirl

8: Supergirl

Tickle Spots- Belly, Belly Button, Waist, Sides

Ticklish- 8.5/10

Most common ticklers: Powergirl

These two have frequent and competitive tickle fights. Powergirl usually wins due to being a little less ticklish. Powergirl tends to start the fights whenever she wants to piss off her friend/rival. That said, Supergirl wins enough to make it a fair fight, and if she ever gets a hold of Powergirl's legs or arms then the fight is basically over. Once, Supergirl managed to pin Powergirl to the ground and tickled her armpits until she begged for mercy. Supergirl showed none, and was granted even less when Powergirl took her revenge. Her fingers ravaged and plundered her midriff and Supergirl was crying with laughter by the time they were through.

7:Black Canary

Tickle Spots-Feet, Legs and Hips

Ticklish- 9/10

Most common ticklers: Wonder Woman and Green Arrow

Just because Black Canary's a tickle monster doesn't mean her 2 favourite victims don't occasionally get one over on her. One time they teamed up. It was a planned assault, her husband and her best friend tickling her to tears for a solid hour. Green Arrow had pinned her feet and tickled her toes with his arrows. Wonder Woman had been sat on the small of her back, ruthlessly squeezing her hips, causing the blonde heroine to buck like a wild animal. The pair had only stopped when she had sworn never to tickle them again. Unfortunately, they had made no such promise and "Tickle Time" was now a common occurence in Black Canary's life, and she can't retaliate for fear of their joint retribution.

6:Wondergirl

Tickle Spots- Ribcage, Hips, Waist, Sides

Ticklish-9/10

Most common ticklers: Kid Flash, Robin and Superboy

Never has there been a girl so ticklish who could still muster such a fight against it. Titan tower often rang with the sounds of her laughter and her shouts of defiance. It took the strength of Superboy to restrain her, and the speedy fingers of Kid Flash to sap her of her strength. Cries of "Lemme go" and "Don't you dare" echoed through the halls. One time, Robin was straddling her waist and tickling her hips. She had bucked so hard she had sent him flying into the nearby couch. Her reprieve had only lasted a moment though, as Superboy's hands had quickly found her sides and were goosing her ticklish skin, bringing forth peels of laughter and triggering violent thrashing. Tim had joined in, annoyed by his short-lived flight, and had extracted an apology from the defiant one.

5:Raven

Tickle Spots- Collarbones, Ribcage, Hipbones, Knees, Toes

Ticklish- 9/10

Most common ticklers: Starfire

The first time Starfire tickled Raven it was as a demonstration of what tickling was. Raven had decided quickly that it was worse than the tortures of hell. Unfortunately, Raven had also spent the past week making prickly comments about Starfire's annoyingly upbeat attitude and constant smiling. The opportunity for revenge was too good to miss. Raven had suffered the tickling of a lifetime as Starfire had teased her mercilessly for her smile and her laugh. Starfire had never seen anyone thrash so wildly when she squeezed their hips or goosed their ribs. She'd been ruthless with Raven's toes, forcing the smaller girl to recite "This little piggie" as she played with them, under threat of Rib counting games.

4:Starfire

Tickle Spots- Belly, Sides, Thighs, Soles, Armpits

Ticklish- 10/10

Most common ticklers: Raven, Nightwing, Blackfire

Raven hadn't taken her torment lying down, and had instantly returned the tickling with interest. She's discovered that the curvy Tamaranian was ticklish everywhere she was fleshy, contrary to Raven's weakness to tickles on those areas where skin was stretched tight over bone. Starfire had needed to swear to Raven that she wouldn't tell a soul of Raven's weakness, and even after she had done so Raven had continued, pushing her into absolute hysterics. When Raven had informed Starfire that her torture would end only when Starfire had finished singing some ghastly pop song, Raven had noted a despair in her eyes that hadn't dissapated until the last word of the last chorus. Then her eyes filled with hope.

"I said it would end, Star. I never said straight away."

Despair had then returned.

3:Batgirl (Stephanie Brown)

Tickle Spots- Feet. Feet. Feet. Feet.

Ticklish- 6/10 overall before you include how fucking ticklish her feet are. Adding those into the equation brings her to 10/10

Most common ticklers: Harper Row and Cassandra Cain.

Harper lives in the Narrows, a rather unpleasant neighbourhood even by Gotham standards. One night when the three girls were there, the power went out. So, they were stuck inside and they needed some way to have fun. Stephanie had screamed when she'd realised that She was the fun. Each of them had taken a foot, and Steph had howled with laughter and begged them to let her go. When they'd started counting her toes, she thought she would die. Harper's nails and Cass's knowledge of the nervous system had made for a wicked pair. And when Cass had run to get two hairbrushes, poor Steph would have done anything to escape her fate. The tickling had been their only source of entertainment for the evening. And her friends certainly found it entertaining.

2:Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)

Tickle Spots- Yes

Ticklish- 11/10

Most common ticklers: Joker. Batfam. Sirens. Birds of Prey.

Barbara Gordon had first discovered her weakness to tickling at the hands of Dick Grayson. Next had been Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, who had restrained her with vines and accidentally discovered her extreme reactions. Batgirl quickly gained a reputation in Gotham as the Ticklish Vigilante. There had been a few embarrassing moments in which villains, thugs and henchmen alike had got away by giving her a quick tickle. When Joker kidnapped her and tortured her for a week straight, Alfred had disclosed some of his techniques for enduring torture which he learned in the secret service. That and an upgrade to her suit meant that Barbara was protected, most of the time. Her friends and family however, liked to remind the cocky redhead of her little weakness. Even after the Killing Joke she still fell victim to those deadly fingers with alarming frequency, and she often joked (rather darkly) that she was lucky to have lost half her tickle spots. Even so, an unseen hand in her armpit was enough to make her let loose screams of pleading laughter.

1:Zatanna

Tickle Spots- "NO, PLEASE!!!"

Ticklish- 100/10

Most common ticklers: Black Canary, John Constantine, Batfamily, SMILE (OC)

Zatanna's ticklishness has caused her untold hours of suffering throughout her life. For one thing, she can't even hear the word "tickle" without shuddering. The sight of wiggling fingers makes her freeze like a dear in the headlights. Her reactions are akin to a nuclear explosion. She will scream, howl, beg, plead, thrash and writhe in her desperation. She's basically a magnet for it too, with her tight wardrobe and cocky demeanour, tempting others to just give her a quick poke. It never ended at one poke though. It only ended when Zatanna was a broken mess on the floor, still giggling and letting out little squeaks of "No" and "Stop" and "Please".

Once, John Constantine told her of an ancient ritual to remove one's ticklishness from their body. Zatanna had gone down a magical rabit hole culminating in her entering another dimension inhabited by a Godess known only as Smile. Smile had told Zatanna that she would need to endure 3 days of tickling in order for the ritual to work. Zatanna had tried so hard, screaming and crying with laughter for two days straight. Until the hundreds of hands had become too much for her to bear. She had cried out a surrender, but Smile had never intended to cure her. Smile wanted Zatanna for her own, and over the next two months, Zatanna was trapped in Tickle Hell.

By the time John Constantine saved her, Zatanna was so afraid of tickling that she'd needed to have the memory erased by magic. However, every night in her dreams she finds herself trapped in that hellish plane of existence, fingers digging into her thighs, squeezing her hips scratching her feet, playing with her toes. They goosed her sides and counted her ribs. They teased her belly button and spidered her tummy and pits.

Every morning she forgot, remembering only when she awoke the next night in that place, gazing up into the grinning face of the Godess of tickling. Aware of it all, and aware that it would never end as long as she lived.

And that's not forgetting of course, the frequent pokes, pinches, gooses and teases she endured on an almost daily basis from friends, and the occasional torments of a villain who decided that the best way to neutralize her was to stop her speaking and start her squeaking.

The most ticklish woman in the world. Almost like she had been cursed at birth by a cruel godess.

by circees

"Please don’t shoot me,” the kid says, eyes going all wide like he’s scared. Something about it is familiar, but he doesn’t really look the part - his mouth is too even, and when he takes the knife, he runs the flat of it against his bare arm almost mockingly. Dick shrugs. Sue him, he’s doing his checks like a good little hunter.

(fic game)🪳 aus are genuinely my favorite kind of fic, esp if its an au from a different fandom

🪳 Recommend a great AU!

i’m going to rec i woke up so worried that the angels let go by circees! it’s a batfam grishaverse au centered on duke & damian (and there’s a bit of tim, as a treat). i adore the way the author wove duke and his powers into the au worldbuilding, and damian is just great. the endnote glimpses into more of the story are delightful, too.

[swordduels]

That sounded like another excuse to dance around the subject without admitting her own faults. They both knew who had taken a drastic step with spilled blood as the end result. If it happened again she would have to do something about their binding contracts. Circe had a few tricks on her own that would be useful to keep Regalia from going berserk. She met the predatory gaze with a wide grin. “So if I decide to find me another wife and fifty more lovers it would be my right as long as I saw it important?” It was impossible for her to keep away from Regalia in this erotic atmosphere but there was something else beyond a desire for physical intimacy. Despite all the psychological games and Regalia’s violent behaviors she wished to keep her safe from harm. There were times when her wife was very sweet with romantic gestures. There was also a part of her that admired the confidence and ambition. Other times she was far from impressed with Regalia’s peculiar behaviors. Especially not with how the large harem of wives were treated.   “I might be able to help you.” It was the least she could do to smooth over things and give Regalia a second chance for redemption even though it shouldn’t be this way. Her wife should be the one to prove herself. “As long as I get to keep my people alive.” That had to sound reasonable even to Regalia. Was this union of kingdoms truly worth the hassle though? There had been a constant flow of growing concerns ever since their courtship began and Circe had time to reflect on what she was actually gaining besides wild love making. Could Regalia keep her safe from the countless enemies that had started to notice her small kingdom. Did she truly grasp the concerns that lingered within her? Circee wanted to believe this was nothing more than intimate gestures without any schemes or mindgames but it was quite difficult. It was also hard to resist the growing urges to have Regalia’s mouth or hands wander along hot skin. Another slow gasp was heard as she gently moved while opening her mouth. The moving thumb was soon caught between Circe’s lips to be sucked on for a short moment. A playful smile appeared as her thumb kept rubbing Regalia’s nipple with a rougher grip. Circe’s voice was a tantalizing whisper as she met her gaze. “And I need you, right now.”  

The finger snapping motion had her looking around as two men approached them. Both moved with careful steps without asking questions or saying anything at all when approaching the bathtub. There was something eerie about them moving in sync with each without making any sound at all. Circe was feeling somewhat uncomfortable about the prospect of being carried by a man while wearing not even a thread of clothing. Surprisingly enough there was such a gentle motion in how he reached down to pick her up and placed onto his arms. There was no unnecessary touching or remarks. Instead she was diligently brought from the warm sake and carried towards their waiting bed with red silk. The flickering candle lights casted their shadows as moving figures. Her body dripped with sake and soaked his shirt with wet alcohol. Once placed beside Regalia she took a deep breath before leaning against her shoulder while their hands stayed connected. .   

“I almost forgot, I have a wedding gift for you, or rather for us.” Circe whispered and stole a kiss on the cheek. “Do you want it now or later?” @fallesto

Regalia watched her, a smoldering look in her eyes. Her gaze was like a predator sizing up its prey, calculating every move. She knew Circe's every tick, every tell, and she used it to her advantage. But in this moment, the power dynamics shifted subtly. The warmth of the sake and the closeness of their bodies had thawed some of the ice that had formed between them. She felt a twinge of something she hadn't anticipated – a hint of vulnerability in Circe’s gaze.

It was like watching a storm cloud crack open to reveal the sun.

“I am saying it is not wise to betray a witch.” She said. “So I merely didn’t inform you of what I wished to do, so you could not be mad at the time.”

To Regalia, humans were indeed expendable. They were like chess pieces, to be moved and sacrificed for the greater good of their kingdom. Her heart had been forged in the fires of battle and political intrigue. Yet, she couldn’t deny the pull she felt towards Circe. It was more than just the thrill of conquest or the need for a powerful ally. It was a strange mix of fascination and admiration.

This witch was a wildcard, unpredictable and fiercely loyal. She had the power to either elevate Regalia or bring her down.

“As powerful as I am, there is only so much I can do.” She can bend the will of time, she can heal the lands, grow crops, but she cannot create things out of nothing, if the land is damaged, she needs time, and she needs people as well to drain them of there power.

The kingdom of Greed was indeed not as strong as it once was. Years of poor harvests and weak leadership had left its lands barren and its people desperate. Regalia had taken the throne with a promise to restore its former glory while killing anyone in her way, and she had been working tirelessly towards that end. The transformation of her enemies into mindless beasts of burden was a desperate measure, one she had hoped to keep hidden from the world.

But the whispers of her actions had traveled faster than the speed of their union.

The other kingdoms surrounding Regalia had grown suspicious of her swift rise to power. They watched from afar, waiting for the moment she would stumble, waiting for a sign of weakness they could exploit. The recent series of mysterious disappearances had not gone unnoticed. The whispers grew louder, and the shadows grew closer. Regalia knew that her time was running out, that she had to act decisively if she wanted to maintain her rule and protect her people. Her eyes searched Circe's, looking for the trust that was the foundation of their alliance.

"I understand your concerns, my love." Regalia's voice was a gentle purr, a stark contrast to the iron will that lay beneath her smooth exterior. "But you must understand, I am not all-powerful. I am a mere mortal, bound by the same limitations of flesh and blood. I need you." Her hand caressed Circe's cheek, her thumb brushing over her bottom lip. "Together.” She whispered, "We can achieve greatness."

With a flicker of her wrist, she snapped her fingers, and two of her most devoted and human-like husbands appeared at the edge of the room. They were tall and broad-shouldered, with muscles that rippled under their loincloths. Their expressions were stoic, devoid of any emotion as they moved to do her bidding. They approached the tub with grace and care, reaching in to lift both women from the water, their movements so synchronized it was almost as if they shared a single thought.

Their warm, calloused hands slid under Circe and Regalia, hoisting them out of the sake like they were made of the finest porcelain. The water dripped from their skin, the scent of the rice wine mixing with their own musk as they were carried through the steamy air towards the adjoining bedroom. The room was dimly lit, candles casting flickering shadows on the walls that danced with the sway of their bodies as the husbands carried them.

The bed was an oasis of red silk, plush and inviting amidst the cold stone floor. The two men placed them down gently on the soft surface, their movements a silent testament to their years of loyal service. Regalia's hand never left Circe's, their fingers intertwined as they watched the silent figures retreat.
