Nothing changes my brain chemistry like these two head nuzzles

Like what do you mean they BOTH exist?? what do you mean I just get to have my brain teetered off kilter like a fucking teeter totter every time I look at them?? They make me insane

love how not a single person thought the pink sparkles crystal and niko saw were from anything other than homosexuality because falling in love at first sight with the girl that you live with is just about the most on the nose sapphic experience in existence

If you're still taking requests, can you please have a little funny moment of Edwin talking about his life and the others or just Charles/Crystal being concerned (I love your art and how you draw them!!!)

I wouldn’t say they are too concerned here…more like intrigued. Thanks for the request!!

OKAY OH MY GOD THIS FIC IS GREAT I HAVE ONLY READ THREE AND A HALF CHAPTERS AND IM ALREADY IN LOVE

I originally wanted to make both of these pieces in color but I’m gonna be honest I have no fucking idea how to draw Ricochet…he is described as black and red and…mmhhmmm does he have canonical (canonical for this fic I mean) design? Do I need to design him myself? Idk I’ll figure this out later

Saw someone on TikTok mention that right after Crystal and Charles have their “we should just be friends for now” talk, it cuts to Edwin holding Monty’s astrology book, reading, “remarkably low compatibility between Taurus and Aries” aloud. The implication here being that those are Charles and Crystals star signs. Which obviously I love as a Payneland truther but also EDWINS A FUCKING CAPRICORN!!! His obliviously jealous ass was reading up on the compatibility between Charles and Crystal and he STILL didn’t realize he was in love with Charles. Babe the call is coming from within the house and your holding the fucking phone!!!

Reverse Verse poster!

This is another commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are because we are obsessed with this verse and have like a million things planned, but somehow a poster never occurred to me

idk how to say this without sounding really boomer-ey, but like, what happened to horror content for kids? maybe i’m using the word “horror” a little liberally but i remember when i was a kid there was SO much out there that existed solely for the purpose of scaring kids in a safe, fun, age-appropriate way. just off the top of my head there’s goosebumps, scary stories to tell in the dark, tales from the crypt (little before my time though), coraline, mirror mask, monster house, dark crystal (more incidentally scary but w/e), even courage the cowardly dog; all these really fantastic books and shows and movies that let kids explore being scared on their own terms.

now there’s idk, those new addams family movies? but those aren’t really scary.

i see people talking about the “kid-ification” of horror games and i can’t help but wonder if part of the reason kids latch onto that stuff so much now is because there’s nowhere else for them to experience healthy, safe fear. a little kid wants to get the thrill of being scared, but their parents won’t let them watch any actual horror movies, so they go on youtube and what do you know, there’s markiplier playing another cheap horror game set in a toy store or whatever, and now that kid’s fear quota is being met. (obviously there’s more to it than that, but it’s a theory i have)

this like, doesn’t really matter probably but idk, i feel bad that ~kids these days~ aren’t getting the experience of something scary made specifically for them with their genuine enjoyment in mind, rather than whatever the next fnaf ripoff is that just wants to sell them merch. being a kid and watching a well-made scary movie feels like you’re finally being taken seriously; you’re not being babied or coddled, you’re being trusted to face the skeksis and the other mother and the nebbercracker house and not back down. i wish people were still making media that respected kids that much.
