#coloring traditionally is the most relaxing and frustrating thing at the same time

[abel-draws]

I got this cute request a too long while ago and wanted to do something cool with the idea, since I ended up doodling a lot I’ll put them under a cut~

At first I thought of a group image with the whole family, but that would be kinda hard for me (since I’m bad at trawing groups of people and that is a VERY big family) so I decided to draw many small doodles to make up for it! (Plus the colored drawing up there lmao). Let’s get started then!

OF COURSE the first one I drew was Fellby lmao I would change the colors of the drawing above so the clothes wouldn’t look as dark BUT there’s no going back with traditional art c’: so have this doodle and imagine his clothes with more vivid colors~ (plus, those glasses are too big for you dear)

Who’s this cutie and what’s he laughing at? If you haven’t guessed this is Grillby! He’s wearing a shirt because I thought of it as the equivalent of his suit lmao 

Best pals! 

As the days passed I got time to brainstorm a bit about this au of an au of an au. In this case the skeletons would’ve been created by Gaster but before the war so they could be used as weapons, but monsters were still defeated (maybe they refused to fight, who knows, I didn’t get that deep into the story lmao). I’ve not decided if Gaster would disappear during the war of he would still be alive when they got underground. The case is, the flames would be orphans of the war and they skeletons would decide to take care of them. Wow I’m so good at writing 10/10, let’s continue with the drawings and ignore my inability to write a solid story x’DD

LITTLE SWABBY!<3 He’s A BIT big for a baby, but IT’S A SKETCH DON’T JUDGE ME *hides*  Jk, he didn’t come up as smol as I intended but still cute nonetheless

It’s the uf bros turn to take care of the kids! Sans’ reading a book to Swabby, meanwhile Fellby and Grillby imitate Papyrus, who’s guarding the zone (which is absolutely unnecessary let me say, but let him be happy).

(I wanted to do something like this with the three pairs of skeletons but it didn’t happen lmao)

Guess who’s taking care of the kitchen >:D

I heard you wanted more smol Swabby? No? Have it nonetheless

Taking care of three kids seemed to be a piece of cake, until they discovered the sour truth.

Well, that’ll be all ~ I hope you don’t mind I did it traditionally, it feels nice to do it from time to time. If you have a headcanon for the au (or, you know, a more solid story than mine lmao) feel free to share it!

TrioBlasterSets AU belongs to @antarestyl and @namekian-maoh !

Stella Profile

Here’s the next one out of the group! I really like how this one turned out. I hope you enjoy it too!

Name: Stella Evangeline Anastasia de la Luxinne

Age: 17

Gender: Female (she/her)

Birthday: August 18

Sexuality: Pansexual Polyamorous

Magic: Light

Astrological Sign: Mermaid

Status: Princess

Occupation: Student

Affiliation: Alfea College for Fairies, Royal Family of Solaria

Planet of Origin: Solaria

Hobbies: Fashion designing, shopping, swimming, doing makeup, sketching

Family: Radius Apollo de la Luxinne (Father), Luna Inana de la Luxinne (Mother)

Position in Team: Second-in-Command

Pixie: Amore, Pixie of Love

Likes: Sunny weather, being sarcastic, fashion, making friends, being outdoors

Dislikes: Rain, snow, separation, loneliness, the dark

Appearance: Stella stands at roughly 5’9”, though she looks taller most of the time due to her love of heels. She has tanned skin after spending her life on a warm, sunny planet. She has the curvy hourglass figure most magazine covers flaunt and shapely limbs to make her look like a model. Stella’s eyes are a brownish hazel color, and she has lengthy blonde hair with bangs over her forehead. She has defined facial features to go along with her conventionally attractive appearance. Her ears aren’t very pointed when compared to some of the other characters’, making her look a bit more human. Stella tends to wear cropped shirts to show off her figure, though she is self-conscious about the way her stomach looks, something she does her best to hide when she has a particularly bad day. Her clothing shows off a lot of skin whether it be a shirt or skirt due to the bright, sunny planet that she grew up on. Stella enjoys wearing heels for shoes to add a bit of extra height and make her seem more imposing, though she’s usually 5’11” at tallest with her heels since she thinks any taller of heels aren’t that practical. 

Personality: Stella, at least on the outside, comes off as a stereotypical popular girl. She seems superficial and boy-crazy, always going after the week’s most attractive guy her age. She’s openly obsessed with the way she looks and has a passion for fashion above all else. Stella can get sarcastic and defensive easily, almost to the point of being blunt or rude at times. Behind this mask, however, Stella is a much softer, more sensitive girl. She fears being treated as an outcast or being tossed aside since she’s always believed her worth is found in how valid others believe her to be. Years of bullying transformed her into a young woman who taught herself to fake confidence rather than actually feel it. She’s much smarter and nerdy than she would originally show, not wanting to be made fun of by others for her stranger interests. Stella’s passion for clothing design is the one thing that isn’t fake, as she’s always loved making clothing for herself since she sees it as a perfect outlet for her creativity that won’t lead to her being picked on. Stella suffers from dysmorphia, having been made fun of for her body in the past. She hates getting comments on her body since she was picked on for weighing more as a child. Her obsession with appearance is a defensive mechanism to keep from being made fun of again for her weight or other aspects of her appearance. She gets snarky and sarcastic quickly since she uses it to defend herself from those who might want to hurt her, which can cause her to get snippy at times. Stella opens up more to people who show legitimate interest in her as a person rather than just her future power or appearance, and she lets herself be vulnerable about her hidden insecurities around them.

Background: Stella was born into an unhappy marriage between her parents, Radius and Luna. Radius and Luna were set up in an arranged marriage when they were children, and while they were friends growing up, being forced to live together by the politicians of Solaria drove them apart. They fought often, and Stella grew apart from them after years of listening to them bicker. She ate out of stress to keep from thinking about how horrible her family’s dynamic was, causing her to become overweight. When she went to school after a particular summer of horrible overeating, Stella was bullied and picked on relentlessly. Stella suffered greatly for not being conventionally attractive between her needing glasses and weighing more than her classmates. She grew to suffer from dysmorphia as a result. She was also teased for her interests in stereotypically ‘nerdy’ or ‘masculine’ subjects such as sports or painting. Stella grew to resent both such subjects after years of their being the cause of her harassment. She got sick of all the bullying after years, not going to her parents about it since she knew it would cause an argument. She thought they had more important things to think about as well. To keep from getting hurt further, Stella forced herself to keep from eating for quite a while, causing her to become sickly and incredibly thin. She wound up in the hospital from her lack of food at one point when she was thirteen, and she told her parents about everything she had been suffering from. After this, Stella was told by Radius and Luna that she’s never going to not be worth their time and that she deserves to be happy regardless of what other people say. Stella’s unhealthy habits disappeared soon after this, and she got into the habit of telling herself that eating and being happy with herself is the least she can do for herself. While Stella is still seen as ultimately shallow, she isn’t openly mocked anymore, which as far as she is aware, is an improvement. She’s gotten better about loving herself since then as well, though she’s still not the best with expressing her feelings. Her parents announced their divorce the year before she started at Alfea, and while she’s been struggling to a life without both of her parents around all the time, she keeps in contact with them both since even if their marriage failed, they love Stella more than anything else in the world. She attended Alfea the year before the story starts but wound up leaving at semester after suffering from some mental health issues and struggles with her dorm mates. She returned the following year, gladly accepted by the school. 

Other: Stella enjoys eating sweets when she’s not enjoying healthier foods, and after she eats a lot of sweets, she’s often seen going for a jog. She usually thinks over things while out on a run, which she does earlier on in the morning when the sun is first rising. This is the earliest Stella ever wakes up, as she’s never been a night owl or morning bird, instead preferring to sleep through both of these phases. She hides her grades from most people to try and fit in out of fear of being made fun of. In truth, Stella gets some of the best grades at Alfea, not that she’d ever tell anyone such. She enjoys tennis, and even if she was teased for liking sports as a child, she’s been getting back into it recently with Aisha and Flora. She also enjoys watching some animated shows (some cartoons, some anime), a guilty pleasure she shares with Tecna.

Position in Team: Stella acts as the second-in-command for the group and Bloom’s right hand. Stella is more pessimistic than Bloom is most of the time due to being harassed as a child so frequently, but she and the others have learned to let loose and joke around more. Stella offers a unique viewpoint due to her jaded experiences of the past, and she’s often the one who takes over with keeping everyone in line when Bloom has other things to take care of, proving to be a capable leader in her own right.

Dynamics:

Bloom: Bloom and Stella have grown to be close friends since they grew up as outcasts. They hide their feelings to keep up a strong face for others, but they’ve learned to relax and be happy around one another. Both consistently encourage one another to pursue their dreams, always the other’s biggest cheerleader. Bloom and Stella enjoy talking about relationships a lot, having similar tastes in both boys and girls, making relationships the subject of many a late night discussion.

Flora: Flora was able to see through Stella’s mask nearly right away, and she decided to do everything in her power to help Stella to embrace her true self as soon as possible. Flora encouraged Stella to take up tennis again after she distanced herself from the sport as a team, and the two enjoy taking up matches together. Stella often vents out her frustrations as the two play. Flora and Stella often share their insecurities together when times get tough, leading to a quiet, unspoken bond between the two.

Musa: Musa and Stella are much more similar than either one of them would care to admit. They both get defensive easily and hide their pain behind a mask of confidence. While they were both lonely as kids, Stella’s was against her will while Musa embraced the silence. They’re both slowly working on getting over their past issues, even if the development is quieter than one would expect. Musa and Stella often share beta versions of songs and designs to get unbiased input.

Tecna: Stella and Tecna enjoy sharing guilty pleasures often. Stella’s interests from her childhood have only increased since she joined the Winx Club, and Tecna is the perfect person for Stella to indulge in stereotypically ‘nerdy’ habits with. They watch some animated shows late into the night, both of them predicting what will happen (though Tecna is right more often than not). Stella often makes fun of the characters’ fashion senses, something that makes Tecna laugh nearly nonstop.

Aisha: Aisha and Stella are both princesses who got into traditionally masculine subjects when they were growing up, and lucky for them, they have the same hidden passion: sports. Aisha is the only one of the girls who can rival Stella’s competitive spirit when they play sports (tennis being their favorite, something they often drag Flora into). They dance quite a bit together as well and have gained a reputation as the best dancers at Alfea, often indulging in couples-based dances at parties just to show off.

Roxy: By the time Roxy meets Stella, the latter has developed greatly and moved past her issues with bullying and dysmorphia. When Roxy struggles under the cruelty of some teenagers on Earth, Stella is the first one to go to her aid, helping Roxy with everything she has. Stella and Roxy have gained a mutual respect for one another through this, and while nobody knows exactly what they talk about late into the night, the general consensus is that it’s vulgar and violent alike.

Diaspro: Stella’s relationship with Diaspro is interesting to say the least. Stella first met Diaspro when the engagement between her and Sky was announced, and while Stella was upset at first, she mellowed her anger to not hate to Diaspro since what happened wasn't her fault. The two wound up getting closer due to their common interests in fashion and their past issues with hiding their true selves. They gossip together often and have spilled much drama to one another, though nobody is quite sure what. 

Sky: Stella met Sky when she was going to Alfea for the first time. She didn't talk to him much, but they kept in touch even after she left the school behind. She hung out with him and the rest of the boys often. Stella was angry with him for quite some time after hearing he was engaged to Diaspro, but she eventually relaxed her grudge, though it took some time. Stella is very protective of Bloom where Sky is concerned and gives him the ‘don't hurt her’ spiel often even if she knows he wouldn't hurt her on purpose. 

Brandon: Stella and Brandon hit it off immediately, becoming friends quickly. His friendly nature helped her to become more trusting, and she opened up to him much faster than she usually does with new people. He helped her through her insecurities easily, and they have a quiet, mutual understanding of one another. Stella doesn't mind his lack of royal status, caring more about who he is as a person and the fact that he respects her as an individual and not a pawn for power. 

Riven: Riven is Stella’s least favorite of the Specialists. She doesn't get along with him at all, finding him to be too rude for no reason. She can get equally as defensive, but she still makes it clear that she's trying to get better where he has made no such thing obvious. Even after Riven starts to get better and pull back on his jealousy and anger problems, Stella still doesn't talk to him much, not seeing a reason to. They don't argue as much as they once did when Stella first entered the picture, but their relationship could be better. 

Timmy: Timmy and Stella didn't talk much when they first met. Timmy was shy and awkward, and Stella didn't know how to approach him. After some time, Stella started making moves to improve her relationship with him by reaching out. Timmy showed Stella the glory of animation her first semester at Alfea, and they had movie nights often. Timmy and Stella don't tell anybody about this at first since Stella is still sheepish about it, but they share many secret glances as reference jokes to their fun nights. 

Helia: Helia and Stella have a surprisingly strong relationship. He saw her drawing out fashion sketches at one point, and the rest was history. He got her back into drawing, and they meet up from time to time to sketch. They also have the same interest in manga (a guilty pleasure of Stella’s) and exchange copies in between lengthy discussions about the stories. Stella also helps Helia to become closer to Flora, wanting the best for them both in her own little way. 

Nabu: Stella and Nabu mostly get along because of Aisha. Stella’s over the top behavior can get to be a bit much at times, but she tones it down around Nabu so as not to frustrate Aisha. Stella is overall playful with Nabu, always trying to help him out with his relationship with Aisha. Whether they're friends or more, Nabu is happy with it, and Stella supports him fully, though this doesn't mean she'll tone down her joking. They sometimes have trolling competitions, just as a way of messing with each other with no malicious intent. 

Radius: Radius and Stella were distant during her childhood. Since Radius had the responsibilities of a king combined with the issues of his marriage, there wasn't much time for Stella at first. When she showed signs of struggling with such, Radius did his best to become closer to her, and they've bonded as a result. Radius thinks of Stella as the light of his life, and he’d do anything for her. Especially after the divorce, they're closer than ever before. 

Luna: Even with the divorce, Luna and Stella have remained close. Luna saw how much Stella was suffering and did as much as she could to make Stella’s life easier despite the divorce. Luna has been helping Stella through her past issues with dysmorphia by reassuring her as much as possible that she deserves better than what other people have told her before. Luna and Stella call each other each week and talk all about their lives, even if they don't see each other in person as often. 

Amore: While Amore’s power is over love, her magic isn't exclusively based around romance. Amore became so attached to Stella since she could tell the fairy needed somebody to return the love she gave to do many, and Amore was happy to oblige. Amore and Stella love each other quite a bit, putting other pixie bonds to shame. They both tend to put forth a lot more than they get back, but they're always there to pick reach other back up when something goes wrong.

THE CAPPY CONNECTION

Ever since Super Mario Sunshine, Mario has been aided on his quests by a library of fairies, pixies and spirits who follow him through the adventure and lend their power to him. I believe that Cappy is the greatest of these characters, and here's why.

MAJOR MECHANIC

Since these types of characters only appear in 3D adventure games and RPGs, the first of its kind was FLUDD who served as the central play mechanic in Super Mario Sunshine. The whole thing was about spraying water on people and things so the water backpack was integral to the game. Then, in Super Mario Galaxy we were introduced to the Lumas and with it, Little Luma who accompanied Mario and bestowed upon him the spin attack ability, the core technique of both Galaxy games. You might easily overlook the Luma helper because he isn't really personified much and doesn't speak, but he does show up as part of a cooldown animation that indicates when the spin attack can be used again, so he is omnipresent. FLUDD however, is personified and will interject the action every now and then with tutorial dialogue and exposition. This type of chatty character went on to become a bit of a staple of Mario games... TALKING TUTOR RPGs are traditionally text heavy games and since Mario is generally a silent protagonist it's only natural to expect the characters around him to be the ones who flesh out the story and offer tips and advice. But the early RPGs didn't need this type of character since they were more traditional of the genre and it was the other party members in Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario 1 & 2 that offered this function, but they don't really qualify as this type of character. Eventually in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time we were introduced to Stuffwell who not only served as an adviser but also the brothers' inventory. A nifty little role, but not really necessary since other RPGs include an invisible inventory that doesn't require further explanation (indeed, the first Mario & Luigi game even had a non-sentient suitcase which served the same function.) By the third Mario & Luigi game we got Starlow who went on to be a regular in the series, appearing in the two following games and basically serving as a mouthpiece for the brothers, interacting with other characters on their behalf. Meanwhile, Super Paper Mario introduced us to Tippi whose ability to recall information on all sorts of enemies and environments was more of a holdover from the previous games where various Goomba characters offered the same service. She could also help out by finding hidden secrets but was perhaps most notable for having her own detailed backstory and a significant character arc throughout the game. Since she fulfilled her destiny and left at the end of that game, the next Paper Mario: Sticker Star brought with it a new face - Kersti whose name is a lot cleverer than her design. I stopped playing Paper Mario games at this point so I can't talk about her with authority but I understand she basically serves as the same info sprite while offering a couple of field abilities and some sort of significance in the final battle. The same can also be said of Huey in Paper Mario: Color Splash - at this point the exposition characters take on forms relevant to the game's theme. Then there's Beep-0 from Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. A different type of game entirely but relevant to this discussion since he tells you everything that's going on in the game and, as one of the very few characters who actually talks, attempts to carry the game's humour all by himself. Beep-0 is also special though, since he can actually be controlled. In fact, he is the only character you can control in this game. Technically Mario and friends all follow behind him and move to wherever he indicates during battle. But the concept of playable exposition elves is not completely unique... PLAYABLE PARTNER Looping back around to Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Co-Star Luma is introduced - a completely independent character who can be controlled by a second player. Well, not completely independent, it simply follows Mario around but will deviate from this path when Player 2's cursor is used to collect items and impede enemies. Technically this is no different from the second player cursor in the first Galaxy game but was given its own identity. CAPPY You've probably already deduced how Cappy fits into this by now: he embodies all of these features, and more! The cap throwing and capture mechanics are the entire backbone of Super Mario Odyssey and very versatile at that. Cappy himself will pop up now and then with hints on what to do next and exposition about how the plot is unfolding. He can also be controlled by a second player, and in a much more direct way than the previous examples. But there's more! Cappy is also special for having his own story and more specifically his own motivation. I think Tippi is on par for actually having a plot specific role (though if I'd have tried to cram another circle in here to reflect that it would have been ugly and frustrating) but Cappy is actually embarking on his own adventure at the same time as Mario!. His sister is kidnapped alongside Peach and he wants to rescue her too. This isn't just a creature from beyond who offers to accompany you for the greater good, you visit his home and hear his story and in this game Cappy seems to be treated as more than just a voice in your head, he's treated as a friend. There are two seats in the Odyssey and while Mario's silent nature makes it hard for him to really interact with Cappy, you do see the two chatting and relaxing between worlds. BIAS He's also an Englishman analogue with a hat theme, so that's why I love him. I think it would be hard for Cappy to show up again if a future game didn't include the cap mechanic, though spin-offs are fair game, but I do hope he sticks around and takes on a greater significance in the Mario series - I think he deserves it.

Finsterhund’s 2017 Summary of Art (and by extension, the rest of my life)

I’d be lying if I said that 2017 wasn’t an incredibly difficult year for the easily excitable finsterhund but it was also a very productive year for my art. I’m not going to deny that. A lot of issues came about that pushed me really hard, and I did break, but I mended too. I grew stronger in some ways. My writing took a nosedive and I’m not sure how to repair that, but my art, well... this is the first time I’ve ever done one of these. That should speak for itself.

In some months it was difficult to pick which one. I decided against choosing ones that may have been partially rotoscoped (such as my reaction images and most memes) and also because I tend to draw too similar to reference images I use. So no redraws of blurry HoD concept art or stuff.

January: [x]

This was supposed to be the picture for holidays 2016 but I’m a lazy earth boy who must’ve been slacking off because I finished and posted it right on January first! I remember at the time I was really proud of this one, and spent a lot of time on it. It was drawn traditionally and then scanned and digitized in GIMP... yes gimp. Fishy loved it and that made me happy. Nowadays I can pick apart so many flaws, especially in Andy. The lines look so shaky! Maybe I’ll redraw it for January 1st 2018! Assuming I don’t slack off again.

February: [x]

It was hard picking one from this month because I didn’t really like my drawings from then. Here’s art in paint of Red Spot eating a burger. I used to draw him with food when I was hungry for a while. Mmmmmm borger.

March: [x]

This is the month things started to take a nosedive. There was lots of good things happening, but some bad stuff too. A few new problems arose, but at the time the biggest was I found out my birth mom was being evicted and I would have to help her clear the old house. THAT old house. I retreated heavily into my artistic comforts and drew a lot of pictures of Red Spot being comforting and supportive to Andy. Red was created for that purpose after all, and Andy being a character I so closely identify with ended up being the comfort I needed especially then. Despite its crudeness in ms paint I do love this picture and should redraw it in Sai at some point.

April: [x]

The trials I had to face were unreal this month. The Wannabe War(tm) is well underway, and the time to return to the old house rapidly approached. I drew like there was no tomorrow, and these paint pictures were the best. Smoother lines, and more detail. When the time came to face that house things got ugly. Mom hid that my dog Jack had been dead for over half a year and broke the news only when I became distraught when I arrived and he didn’t come when I called him. My fixation on the “monkey’s paw” that was ruining everything I ever wished for started around here, and I kept breaking down. Bad regressing back to before I left that place happened. But something else did too. I DIDN’T. STOP. DRAWING. I drew more and more. Choosing to bring my laptop allowed me to make more pictures. A lot of Red Spot and Andy comfort ones, some mean little immature vent comics, and memes. Lots of memes. I was able to do the job I went there to do and returned home exhausted but VICTORIOUS. My art? Well I think I actually improved a lot then. It was predominantly due to surviving in spite of everything and the sheer volume of cruddy little paint drawings. I didn’t want to pick a mean comic and already had one ms paint Andy and Red picture in this line up so here’s a surprisingly detailed xenomorph queen being licked by a prequel era character who is a massive spoiler. Not only were both characters very complicated to draw, but I’m genuinely shocked I was able to draw an xenomorph at all.

May: [x]

After the painful embarrassment of April I tried really hard to relax. I was still really scared and anxious about the Wannabe incident, but it had more or less turned into a post-arms race stalemate where he wasn’t really doing anything and I just had my weapons of mass destruction pointed at him with my grubby little orange paw over the launch button which is where things have been ever since. My art took a relaxation break, but it was still steadily getting better. Late May I wanted to come up with a reason to actually celebrate my birthday (June 3rd) so I did a silly little “June is International Heart of Darkness month” post featuring Red and Andy sharing a slice of chocolate cake. I went on to say that June 3rd was “International draw heart of darkness fan art” day (real smooth you egocentric mutt) but I thought it’d be a good way to actually celebrate the day but make it about the video game that gave me a reason to live another year instead of about me aging, as I openly hate that I grow older.

June: [x]

A few of my friends drew HoD stuff this month, but a lot of my friends were busy due to jobs, school, life, etc. We used to be a lot more active in 2015 and even in 2016 so this did hit me pretty hard. As a result, I become very frustrated and out of spite decide it’s finally time to test my “new toy.” I don’t remember when Kale actually gave me his old tablet, but in June I finally install its drivers, get a copy of paint tool sai, and draw a lot with it. At first I hate these pictures and go back to paint whenever possible. There’s something wrong with my copy of sai and windows 10 doesn’t like the drivers. But I push myself, and I start to make more pictures of Andy, Whisky, Red Spot, etc. Not a lot of my early Sai pictures ever got posted or even made it past the inking stage, but one night I just couldn’t sleep so I drew Andy cradled in the crook of Red’s wing and got it to the flat colors stage.

July: [x]

I try to calm down. it’s a good month I think. Not much happens. It’s the month I finally give myself a new fursona. I decided that Red Spot isn’t “me” and I can’t use Andy in furry communities so I come up with a solution. It... it’s just Andy as a doberman. It’s a little orange doberman that wears a red bandanna and Andy’s hat... Doberman Andy. But he’s cute, and I can draw him, and so I do draw him. And he helps me get better at drawing in Sai.

August: [x]

The month of the solar eclipse! Me and my friend were going to go down to the US to see it together and... nope... that plan fell through. It makes me a brat, but that’s okay because I can just draw six hundred thousand drawings of Andy. That’ll help me feel better. I ended up having a sabbatical from my blog after some people on tumblr began to bother me and I put up a drawing of Andy’s shoe so nobody could go in. This is an MS Paint picture! Sadly, I’ve stopped really drawing in the program. I like how I did Andy’s face even if his hat and hair weren’t the best.

September: [x]

I return from my sabbatical and begin to spam my tumblr with Andy drawings I’m making in paint tool sai. The quality and style of Andy in these pictures varies drastically as I try a whole manner of new things. At one point I make a post that has five color pictures of Andy in it. It’s slowly becoming difficult to pick which picture I wanted to put here. Not because I didn’t like any, but because I liked too many. SMOL Andy was probably my favourite of the bunch. I made him more chibi and cute than I normally do. It was on accident but I thought he was too cute to go back and make him more on-model.

October: [x]

I was supposed to do an Andy version of Inktober but I guess the extreme amount of Andy pictures was a September thing because I burned out relatively quickly. I had some drama involving a prototype disc and also ended up having to pay way too much extra money every month until further notice but it’s a relatively calm month all things considering. The way I drew Andy in this art isn’t particularly stellar, but I love what I did with Red’s mouth and nose. I wanted to show that the way I draw Red improved too.

November: [x]

My chronic pain gets worse for no good reason, I get a very disturbing creeper threatening me online, and I’m generally depressed, but I’m drawing. That’s good. I start a new revolutionary technique when I rely almost entirely on the cinematics as reference and don’t reference other cartoon styles whenever I can when it comes to drawing Andy. I enjoy the result. Drawing him in a cute penguin-themed suit made my day. It was so hard to decide which one to pick this month. I loved so many of them.

December: [x]

Like November, but somewhat better I think. I’m still drawing Andy a lot, with Red coming along for the ride too. This one I tried to draw Andy in a more Disney-like style. I love how I did his face and freckles. The drawing of Whisky from the same post is great too. I look at a lot of my newer drawings and feel genuinely pleased with the result. I think I actually am improving, and whilst I think it is due a lot to getting sai and a tablet, it can also be because I’m becoming more skilled and getting more practice as well. Lets hope the new year brings us smooth sailing, lots of fun, and happy times our way. HoD will be 20 in 2018 and I’m ready to bring the subject of my love and joy a great two decade celebration.

The Orange Ray - who are you?

There’s a talk of Divine Rays of Creation online so I’d like to address the Orange Ray because everybody’s talking of Blue Rays and apparently others are sitting quiet, like non-existing ;) I’ve a feeling that I’ve covered that topic before, but I can’t find it now, so here you go, as it’s important to ‘know thyself’.

The story goes that in the beginning of the Universe, there were 3 founder flames/lights - blue (cyan), golden (yellow) and magenta. They then mixed and created other colors - green, red and blue (indigo). Then these mixed with both the founders and others to creating even more colors.

Physics discovered this:

and this:

(Source)

On the electromagnetic spectrum scale, violet and indigo/blue light waves are the shortest, while orange and red is the longest. Thus one may say that the Blue Rays let go of old mental stuff and teachings easily as they trust the Universe’s guidance but the Oranges and the Reds not so well as they’re need a solid proof to believe. Blue Rays may be better in telepathy and learning things from the aura, or in spirit, but Oranges would like to have a human chat and maybe sex before judging :) Not that we are underdeveloped but we just need more proofs to figure out is one walks their talk as we like stability.

Orange Ray (in the color theory) is an amalgam, a creation of the Red and Yellow Rays (if Gold Ray is involved, then Orange gets a gold glow, or sparks).

Orange is a Ray crucial for the act of creation to happen at all. Orange Ray is the energy of orgasm, the roar, the pleasure, the major transmutation of many into One, the ejection and the injection of itself into the Universe. Orange is the very essence of the blast, explosion, the Big Bang without which tension couldn’t be transmuted into calm. It is love, intimacy, passion and wit too.

Therefore, it governs the 2nd of the 7, the sacral chakra in the human body (located below the belly button where the genital zone begins inside) which corresponds with anything pleasure (sex), joy, self-confidence and life-giving. Not just giving birth to children, but also bringing a (new) life to art, projects, ideas, moving things forward by motivation and encouragement, re-doing, re-storing things to give it a new shine and meaning.

When the Red Ray brings action, tension and a need to express itself, then Orange takes it further to 1) transmute many into One, 2) release, eject & express, 3) create a thrilling joy by purification. When all these steps happen, the energy can then settle down and one can analyze everything what happened to bask in post-creation happiness, satisfaction and harmony -  here comes the Yellow Ray (of the Sun in the middle of the day), and the color of solar plexus chakra too.

The color of the Sun is traditionally assigned to the masculine energy but we all know females can be masculine too (here, here!), and humans have in fact 2 energies in one body, hence the inner conflict. As angelics, we are androgynous - we’re powered by the 3rd energy which is the mix of the masculine, feminine and the divine.

Now, people who identify themselves as the Orange Rays are: self-confident, usually well grounded, open, dynamic, multi-tasking, courageous, persistent, straight-forward, honest, positive, intelligent, intellectual, electric and magnetic at the same time, usually described as ‘hot’, ‘foxy’, ‘sexy’, generally attractive to the same and opposite sexes, which often has little to do with the physical look, but rather with the vibration of the body, the heart and mind. The Oranges love anything physical made with a use of the body, hands and legs, even hips ;). They enjoy the nature (gardening, camping, hiking, eating outdoor, visiting parks).

Of human activities however, they cherish sex the most, including outdoor sex because not only it brings their inner balance back but takes them ‘home’. Oranges are ‘natural born lovers’ who almost never need to learn anything sex-related - they just come and perform as they feel they should. They are turned on easily, and experience orgasms beyond human imagination. Oranges can have orgasms without the physical stimulation too and it its thanks to their fiery imagination. When they cum, they spiritually eject themselves out of the body, planet and galaxy and into the Universe, to their ‘home’ where they feel unlimited. They are craving for intense sex and orgasms as this is the only human activity letting them reach the highest state needed for the transmutation. The Oranges can have many sexual partners but these don’t make them feel closer to ‘god’. It’s because the Orange Rays are craving for that one and only to invest their precious, sacred powers into, the Perfect Lover who is also the boyfriend, the husband, the best friend, who stays put, is always available and enjoys passion as much as they do, etc etc. (Thus we got a Twin-Flame, to fire up as two!) It is best when said love making comes in a stable relationship, with trust and love but the Oranges can explode also during a one night stand, considering the lover is a trusted, direct and playful ‘professional’ who not only plays with the Oranges intellectually but understands their body language as well. Don’t forget about oils, candles, quiet music, massage and incense sticks. The spiritual self-ejection into the Universe lets the Orange Rays become that true sacred orange power without limiting requirements, addictions, templates, rules and regulations of the human world.

The Oranges scream loudly when they make love, but also sing aloud when they are home alone to release that constantly burning fire. If for whatever reason they cannot make love, they always ‘do’ something instead since ‘not doing’ makes them feel neurotic. They get frustrated when the Chi energy doesn’t have a creative outlet. They are very practical however and won’t make things which then they couldn’t utilize - thus they want to re-do, re-store, re-produce, then sell or at least share to hear some applause in return. They enjoy multiplying things creatively. If they buy anything or invest money in, they want to retrieve that money in any other form later on.

The Oranges are often artists, philosophers, tradesmen, business people, teachers, explorers, travelers, and/or sportsmen as they love motion (of a body or thought), yet moving on their own - exploring on foot, bike, to feel their own body strength and muscles’ effort. They love seeing things in motion too - car racing, ice skating, horse riding, a carrousel, a machine etc. but they prefer to participate in action. They have a natural ADHD symptoms which is in fact high body vibration. They are impatient but persistent which counter-weights the former and lets them achieve goals. If the goal however doesn’t materialize fast, they leave it for another time as they have no patience for waiting. The fire must burn! They bring the fire through practical, yet original ideas but they don’t have enough of patience to release them, so these must be continued by somebody who has a solid plan and more endurance. In fact, the Orange Rays could do well by selling ideas only.

The Orange Ray people are known for the self-talk which keeps them in touch with their Higher Self and confirms their best choices, but they also love talking directly to others, inducing plants, animals, insects and even items. The Oranges somewhat hate the sound of the telephone as they are afraid of anything sudden - usually unpleasant news which could disturb their inner  balance, considering that it was a hard task to balance the fire. They love anything what tastes sweet (like sweet wine, dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream etc.) and very spicy too. The Oranges enjoys seeing beautiful sights -  views from the mountain, dancing flames of a bonfire, sunsets, wastelands, deserts, space and freedom, hot sunshine, hot winds, hot air, hot water, and anything which makes their tense muscles in the back, thighs, sacral and root chakras (and the brain!) relax.

They love the feel during the sunset when the orange light covers everything - they then feel united with All That Is, safe and exclusively loved by the Sun at that very moment. They often paint their room orange to mimic and surround themselves with such a burning light and express own shine too. In astronomy, an orange star often means a dying star which may also bring memories of a star the Orange Rays might have lived near by and which might exploded in the distant past bringing an end to their existence. Orange light however carries deep, sacral love and thus the dying star also emanates it. A connection with the Sun, also with orange, giant stars like Betelgeuse, Antares, Arcturus, Aldebaran, and with orange rock and soil, volcanoes and lava, with Mars and/or Venus feels natural to these Orange human-angelics.

The Orange Rays cannot stand uncertainty, lack of knowledge and safety, instability, chaos, and poor life conditions. They dislike cold weather, cold winds, rain and cold water overall. Skin & joints are sensitive. Mentally, they cannot cope with enslavement, a lack of freedom of choice, sadness, sickness (own or anybody around), and they hate the low vibration overall. Very sensitive thus very reactive to sounds, colors, fragrances, forms, shapes, and said motion. The Oranges are naturally egocentric and run away from anything unpleasant as means to protect themselves from disturbance because they know it takes much of their inner power and time to make them re-balanced. They know themselves very well as they listen to their bodies, hearts and minds. If they run, it means they felt their inner harmony greatly endangered.

They are somewhat persistent to stay in the same environment for many years if they don’t find anything better as they don’t like changes, even-though they are natural energy transmuters. Transmutation through the Orange Ray is an ultimate, complete, a non-revertible experience, so the Orange knows he/she can burn out quickly if they overload their powers. That’s why adult Orange Rays are aware (through past experiences) to not engage foolishly into changing things for others, and giving them own power, if such individuals neither want a change, nor asked for help. The Oranges hate making mistakes. Every adult Orange Ray’s decision comes after lots of thinking, analysis and testing because they want to take only one action, to invest only once and well, then be at least 95% satisfied and feel secure. This is not natural, but self-taught after receiving a few bitter life lessons. The Oranges are as impulsive as Red Rays, with the difference that the Reds like keeping things for themselves, but the Oranges love sharing. Orange Rays don’t like taking a risk but are brave when they face an emergency situation, and then often lead other people telling them what to do, and fast! They turn into an adviser, motivator, protector and warrior.

If Orange Rays cannot express themselves, they get bipolar - angry and frustrated, blaming and hating everybody around for own pity, often becoming self-destructive. Then if anything finally lets them have fun, they may exaggerate or become addicted easily. Orange hates anything cold, but they’re somewhat attracted to places unavailable to them or to reserved people, as if they wanted to test themselves, to try to melt any resistance or ice away. Oranges are put off by rabble, rudeness, arrogance, stupidity, manipulation, cruelty, slavery and blindness.

The biggest advantage of being born as the Orange Ray is that you force yourself to move on after every failure because you hate that stuck energy within. You always find that one more hope, thinking that when you do things differently the next time, then you will finally achieve what you desired. You transmute everything from shallow into high, more advanced, and certainly happier. You bring fire, motivation, action into places and into people’s vibration even if you don’t interact with these. You bring hope. It’s enough that you are amongst the people or in places (which also emanate energy) and shine with your golden sparks, vibrant energy and the inner heat. You simply make depressed people stand up and move on; believe that things must be improved.

At some point, Oranges realize they came from the Sun (or Sun-like stars) and they can radiate such a physical heat too. It is important they become aware they are a sun within and they can heat themselves up anytime they want which warmth will keep them positive, away from fears and worrying.

The Orange folks serve as conductors to let raw energies from Gaia flow into the Universe, and vice versa. They do it through own bodies, by filtering, rejecting the bad and weak, letting only the best, most valuable and the strongest vibration pass through. That’s why they have to find a way, of even few ways to release, trash the transmutation process ‘leftovers’ to keep the ‘furnace’ clean. Leaving a soot in a chimney is dangerous, as it can catch fire easily! :)

Life mission of Orange Rays is to believe and trust in themselves and support own self-confidence. It’s because they are open which is great, but they may be prone to other people’s influence at times of weakness, when they run on low energy or were contacted by low vibration, or transmuted too much of raw energy. The Oranges can become very depressed as they sometime think like a victim, that if bad things happen to them it’s only about them, as if they were chosen to suffer while others have the right to be free and happy at the same time.

Angelic, unearthly beings related to he Orange Rays are Seraphim and Ophanim, Powers, elementals (ie. Fire Djinns), Dragons, Phoenix, and others who use the element of the Sun, electricity, lightning and fire as their core power (though humans with the essences of ie. Seraphim can also resonate with other colors as well).

When it comes to helpful minerals and gemstones, the Orange Rays will benefit from are those gems which rise and/or protect high vibration (antophyllit, black shiva lingam, vanadite, ruby, red and green garnets, red corral, septarians, pink and brecciated jaspers), anchor own energy (black torumaline, hematite, jasper kambaba), allow for the Universe’s & Gaia’s energy transmutation (black tektite, black onyx, sodalite), keep the mind active, balanced and confident (orange, fire and red calcites, and also calcite with rutile), keep the blood flowing well and digestion stable (agate carnelian, red jasper, hematite, bloodstone, danburite, orange opal, yellow jasper, unakite, tiger’s eye, citrine). Blue and green soothing stones like blue & green calcites, angelite, chrysocola, turquoise, aquamarine, including also white, pink and yellow opals, stilbite and celestine will let them sleep well :) Self-confidence and inner trust will be protected by tiger’s eye, mookait jasper, snowflake and Apache tears obsidians (the latter will siphon all worries and detach from unhappiness, clean them in water sometime). Sodalite will let the Orange Rays detach from the earthy plane to explore the outer zones through their higher heart and the mind’s eye. Red Garnet is perfect to keep the sexual stamina balanced and in place.

When it comes to fashion, the Orange Rays look the best when they underline their natural dynamics, thus sporty clothes may do. Orange also brings authority and leadership so both men and women look good in official suits, or even regimentals. Colors which may make the Orange feel more in tune with themselves are, obviously, orange, but also red, gold and golden, dark or pale green, dark blue, indigo, brown, and brick-like colors too. White will underline their inner independence. Black is the best contrast but only when composed with red or orange as too much of black subdues the Orange Ray’s inner fire and outer shine. The Oranges may avoid magenta and pink colors which damage their natural vibration, and light blue which makes them feel like conflicted, cold, caged and muted. Purple may or may not look good on the Oranges, depending on their physical body traits. It’s always all up to your own preference and feel.

Finally, do Orange Rays mix well with opposite colors? I don’t know. It may be that Twin Flames come from the 2 color ‘families’ - one major which lets them feel the same vibration within and which pulls them together (two Orange or Blue rays, or the ‘closest neighbors’ on the electromagnetic light scale - Orange and Red, Blue and Violet, Green and Yellow), and the other color is added as an opposite to make one twin trigger the other and teach something else ;) Ie. an Orange-Blue + Red-Indigo Rays couple, etc. I’m not en expert in these, but I know I’m Orange-Golden with some traits of Blue or Indigo and my twin is definitely one of the Indigo as not only he loves blue (I don’t) but he also creates art & music so this means he has the Orange or Red Ray’s influence.

Thanks for reading & enjoy!

Everyone Gets Sick Sometimes

@puccafangirl I wrote this little story for you inspired by your sick Tamatoa picture 😊I hope you like it! Chapter 1: "Come on, babe! Let's get going!" Tamatoa called, "That treasure won't collect itself!" He stood in the entrance to his cave, snapping his claws impatiently. Mollie, who's back was currently to him, looked up from her sketchbook when she heard the sound of his voice. Instead of being deep and mysterious and as utterly sexy as usual, it sounded a bit tired and raspy. She turned around, "Tama? Are you alr-" she stopped when she caught sight of him. Tamatoa looked tired and flushed, maybe even a bit dizzy. A look of surprise and concern came onto her face. "Look, babe, I know I'm dazzling, but you can gaze at me all you want later," he smiled in his usual cocky manner, but it looked like he was trying to hide physical discomfort behind it. Mollie wasn't buying that, "Are you sure you're feeling up to treasure hunting?" "O-of course!" Tamatoa stuttered defiantly, even though he felt awful. His head hurt, he felt hot and cold at the same time, his throats felt like it had a tiny monster scratching at the back of it, and all he wanted to do was sleep for the rest of the day. However, he loved treasure-hunting almost as much as he loved free food, and...okay, he didn't want to look weak in front of Mollie. She was the best thing to happen to him since finding that genie lamp. But would he admit any of this? No! The great Tamatoa was NOT going to have anyone thinking he'd gone soft! He shook his head as though trying to clear it, "I'm the picture of health, Mollie! Don't be ridiculous!" He stood up straight with his head held high. This didn't last for long, though. A wave of nausea and dizziness swept over him as his eyes widened briefly before displaying a look of exhaustion. Mollie folded her arms and looked at him with a loving "I-don't-think-so" sort of expression. She said nothing. She didn't have to. Seeing her sweet face looking at him so knowingly, Tamatoa melted inside and knew he couldn't fight it. He hung his head and walked over to the place in his cave where he slept. Flopping down dramatically with classic Tamatoa flair, he moaned, "Good gods, babe, I think I'm dying!" Mollie smiled and shook her head. He could be such a diva sometimes! She walked over to him and compassionately put her hand on his face, "You'll be alright, love. I'll take care of you," she kissed his cheek, "Now how can I help you feel better?" "Get me something shiny?" He asked weakly with a bit of a sheepish smile. Hey, it was worth a shot! "Tama, come on now..." "I don't knooowwwww..." he groaned, "I can't remember the last time I got sick. Probably because Tamatoa doesn't get sick!" He banged his claw on the ground, "Why's this happening to me?" Tamatoa looked over at Mollie, "Why's this happening to me, babe? What did I do to deserve this?" He squeezed his eyelids shut, trying to hold back tears. Mollie, her hand still on his face, rested her head on Tamatoa's cheek and started stroking his face with her other hand, "Shhh, it's okay. You're going to be fine," Mollie spoke softly and tenderly to her crustacean companion, "Why don't you take a little nap? I'm sure I can come up with something! You just relax. Your body needs it." Tamatoa whimpered and put his head down. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply. Mollie took this as her cue to leave. As she got up, Tamatoa lightly grabbed at her ankle, "Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" He asked, almost in a whisper. Mollie smiled, "Of course," she sat down by the crab and watched him rest. Chapter 2: Normally, a human walking around Lalotai by themselves would not last even two minutes. However, nearly everyone in the realm of monsters knew who Mollie was and how special she was to Lalotai's most powerful resident, so the other monsters did her no harm. She could walk about the realm in peace. Her walk didn't feel very peaceful, though; her brain hard at work trying to come up with something for a sick crab. "Do I have ANY idea what to do? No!" Mollie muttered to herself as she wandered through the plants and rocks. She chuckled dryly, "I guess this is more evidence that school really doesn't prepare you for the real world!" THUMP! Something hit the ground loudly behind her. Mollie turned around, eyes filled with fear. Thankfully, that feeling went away as she identified the source of that noise. It was none other than Tamatoa's old friend, Maui, the shape-shifting demigod. Mollie sighed with relief, and smiled, "Hi Maui!" "Hey there, Mollie!" He grinned. Then, with a curious look, asked, "Why're you out here all by yourself? Where's old crab cakes at?" Mollie's face fell, "He's sick, and I have no idea what to do or what to get him or-ahhh!!!" Mollie nearly pulled her hair out in frustration. "Hey, no need to panic, kiddo!" Maui put a friendly hand on her shoulder, "You could probably find something to help the big guy at Kim & Kinoki's." Mollie raised an eyebrow, "Who now?" "Kim & Kinoki's. It's a shop for medicinal herbs and tinctures and such. I get my seaweed from there! Come on, I'll show you where it's at!" He motioned with his arm for Mollie to follow. Catching up with Maui, she eyed him suspiciously, "Seaweed?" Mollie was surprised to hear such a thing from the demigod. "Hey, being Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of man, gets stressful." He shrugged it off, then nervously added, "Don't tell Moana!" Mollie chuckled and shook her head as the two continued walking. About 10 minutes later, they were standing in front of a sunken ship with a massive hole in it, which appeared to be the doorway. Above said doorway was a sign that with the name Maui mentioned on it. "Well, here we are! Kim & Kinoki's!" Maui said, and Mollie followed him into the strange shop. Upon entering, Mollie was greeted with what can only be described as an assault to her olfactory sense. The herb and fish smell was overwhelming! Aside from that, though, the little shop was very interesting. Shelves lined with vials and jars of different colored spices, liquids, and powders. They even sold preserved monster body parts, such as tentacles, fangs, and what Mollie sincerely hoped were two eyeballs suspended in a jar of liquid. "We'll be right with you!" Called a female voice. It came from a little room behind the cash register, as Mollie noticed. The two continued casually browsing for about a minute or so when a two-headed water nymph came out of the little room. The creature was light blue and traditionally feminine with delicate-looking wings. One head had a short, dark blue a-line haircut and calm grey eyes, while the other head had tousled yellow hair, sharp teeth and eyes that were completely white. Mollie gasped upon seeing her. The two heads gasped as well. "What's a human doing in Lalotai?" The yellow-haired one asked loudly to no one in particular. Her blue haired sister gave her a stern look, "Don't be rude, Kinoki! She's probably terrified enough as it is!" She turned to Mollie and Maui smiling, "Forgive her. She doesn't always think before she speaks. Anyway, welcome to Kim & Kinoki's! I'm Kim, and this idiot," she poked the yellow haired head, who growled and snapped at her finger, "is Kinoki. Can we help you find anything? And nice to see you, Maui. You want your usual?" "Not today, thanks. I'm just helping Miss Mollie here find some medicine for her sick crab boyfriend. Got anything that might help the big guy?" Both Kim and Kinoki's eyes widened. "Ohhhh my gods it all makes sense now," Kinoki's said, staring at Mollie in awe. Mollie blushed, "What do you mean?" She asked shyly. "You're Tamatoa's human girl?" Kim asked, still in awe. Mollie's blushed deepened at the mention of her sweetheart's name. She nodded shyly. "HolyshrimpIamsosorryforbeinganasspleasedontbeangrypleasedont-" Kim clamped her hand over Kinoki's mouth and stopped her fearful rambling, "I'm sorry if we've made you uncomfortable Mollie." Kim said, blushing a bit. She took her hand off of her sister's mouth, "Anyway, what's ailing Tamatoa?" "Well," Mollie stammered, "It kinda seems like he has the flu, but I don't know if crabs can get the flu, because that's a human virus, and," Mollie got flustered, "I just, I hate seeing him like this and not knowing what to do and-" Mollie was cut off as the sisters approached. Kim put her hand on Mollie's cheek in a motherly sort of way, "Darling, I know exactly what he needs. Wait here," The sisters disappeared into their little room. After several minutes of shuffling, sizzling, and popping sounds, the pair came back out, "All done!" Kinoki grinned, showing her pointy teeth. Kim held a large jar of thick gold liquid, "This mixture of gold and Venus Death Trap leaves should have him feeling much better! Though I need to warn you," she said as she set the jar on the counter, "Most crabs have trouble taking it. The idea of ingesting gold is often troubling for their kind." "Yeah, like remember that one red crab that owns the burger joint a few hours from here?" Kinoki asked Kim, "He just about had an aneurysm at the thought of that!" Kim smiled and shook her head at that memory, "Poor guy...anyway, I hope this helps!" She handed Mollie the jar, "And don't hesitate to return for any other needs you might have!" "Wait, don't I owe you some money?" Mollie asked. "This one's on us," Kim smiled warmly. "Mostly because we have a healthy fear of Tamatoa!" Kinoki grinned awkwardly. Mollie laughed, "Well, thank you! This means a lot!" "No problem!" Kim said, "You guy's have a great day!" Chapter 3 "Alright, so how're we gonna do this?" Maui asked on the way back to Tamatoa's cave. Mollie blinked in surprise. She looked up at Maui, "We?" "Trust me, Mollie," Maui chuckled, "This is gonna be a job that requires a demigod! Tamatoa is pretty stubborn!" Mollie laughed, "You don't have to tell me twice about that!" The two of them were deep in thought for the next few minutes of their walk, trying to come up with a way to get Tamatoa to take his medicine. "You know," Maui said finally, " We could always try to put it in some sort of capsule or funnel and when he's not looking, shove it up his-" "MAUI!" Mollie shouted at him, blushing furiously, "TOO FAR!" Maui put his hands up, "Okay, okay, we won't do that! But honestly, do you have a better idea?" "Bat our eyelashes and hope for the best?" "Come on, Mollie." "Alright, alright," she sighed, "What else can we do?" Maui's face lit up, "What if we used berry juice to dye it purple?" Mollie smiled, "Sounds like a good plan! Now, where can we find some berries?" Soon enough, the two arrived at Tamatoa's lair with their newly-colored medication. "This is definitely going to work," Maui said with determination, "Now let's go fix that crab!" Tamatoa was still sleeping when Mollie and Maui entered. Mollie gave the jar to Maui, "Let me wake him up." She knelt down in front of Tamatoa's face and began rubbing his cheek, "Tama, wake up," she said softly, "I'm back with some medicine." Tamatoa let out a whimpering moan and opened his eyes, "Alright then, babe," he said weakly, "Let's have it," he pushed himself up a bit. Maui walked over now, holding the jar of purple liquid, "Here you go, buddy! Drink up!" Tamatoa looked over at Maui with surprise, "What are you doing here? And what is that mess?" "It's your medicine, silly!" Mollie kissed Tamatoa's cheek. "I know that much already," Tamatoa rolled his eyes, "But what's in it? It looks-" he paused, eyeballing the viscous liquid. Then his eyes widened, "I'm not drinking that! There's gold in it! That would be just...just blasphemous!" Maui stared at Tamatoa in awe and frustration, "How the hell did you figure that out?" "If there's anything I know about, you little semi-Demi-mini-god, it's gold." Maui cursed under his breath. "Language, babe," Tamatoa said cheekily. Maui gave him the finger. "Tama," Mollie piped up, "It'll make you feel better. Then we can go collect all the gold you want! So will you please take it?" "No." "Tama-" "I'm not drinking gold! What a waste!" "It's not a waste if it cures your sickness!" "If I can't wear it or collect it, it's a waste!" "Okay, that's it!" Maui stood up, "No more Mr. Nicegod! Listen, crab cakes, if you don't drink this, it's going up your-" "Can we not go there?" Mollie put her hand up. She looked at her sweetheart, who was beginning to look worn out even by his own stubbornness, "Will you take it for me?" She batted her eyelashes and smiled up at him. Tamatoa's mask of determination began to fade. He sighed and squeezed his eyes shut, "Bring it here," he said as though awaiting a shot. Maui gave him the jar, and Tamatoa reluctantly drank its contents. What, you thought there was gonna be some sort of chase and fight? This is fluff, not action! When he had finished the medicine, Tamatoa looked over at Mollie in annoyance, "The things I do for you." Mollie laughed. She gave her drama queen a hug on his face. "Well, I'll let you two love birds do...whatever it is you do. Get well soon, you big lug!" He turned around and headed out. "Thank you, Maui!" Mollie called after him. Maui turned around, "You're welcome," he said with a wink. Then he was off. Tamatoa sighed and closed his eyes. "Getting sleepy again?" Mollie asked. He nodded. "Want me to stay here with you?" Tamatoa opened one eye, "Could you?" He asked hopefully. Then he blushed, "And would you, erm, would you lie on my neck? It...feels nice when you...do that..." Mollie giggled, "Of course!" Tamatoa smiled weakly and picked her up, gently placing her on the back of his neck. Mollie curled up and closed her eyes. Soon, the two were sound asleep.
