#currently googling ppls suggestions

[perilegs]

hardest part about fe birtright is deciding which people i want as s or a+ supports. bc i was doing kaze/rinkah but it feels like all their support conversations are going to be about sweets so i don't care about that anymore. i want to prioritize good compability story/character wise instead of stats. there are some combos im already set on doing and some i kinda want to. and i don't want to do more than maybe 1-2 per character. my s chart looks like this rn, highlighted are the ones i want to do and the question mark is. possibly.

and for a+ i only have hana/setsuna so far

[aro-aizawa]

thinking of putting together a little beta reader group for my writing, would you be interested in joining? i don't have the spoons to put it all together right now, but! hopefully if i get a decent amount together i can be quicker at updating locked out specifically for right now. no interaction will be necessary outside of like. communication relating to editing/issues w chapters, (but i would welcome it lol)

atm this is purely a how many ppl would be up for it kind of thing

tom holland’s school of manifestation | a charles leclerc social media au

pairing: charles leclerc x supermodel!reader

charles has a big crush on world renowned supermodel, y/n l/n. who would’ve thought she’d return the feelings.

notes: very much travis kelce x taylor swift inspired. faceclaim is yasmin wijnaldum! btw i try to improve with each post (like how i write/pace the story) so if you have any suggestions, pls (veryvery kindly) tell me!! :))

user MOTHER IS MOTHERING

user omg as someone who has been a fan since she began in 2011, i’m so proud of her 😭

user she's the definition of perfection

user LOL ariana (charles), what are you doing here

↳ user his little crush on her is soo cute 😩

↳ user he’s just like us fr lmaoo

user her walk is legendary like it reminds me so much of naomi

user i was gonna say she’s the model of our generation but that’s wrong. she’s actually the top model of all time 😩😩😩

user i’m glad to see a non-nepo baby be on top of the list

↳ user no literally like no shade to bella, kendall, and them but y/n had to fight tooth and nail to be here

↳ user frrr bc most of the nepo baby models are great, don’t get me wrong. however, they were allowed to make mistakes during their career in order to improve. y/n was not privileged enough to have that. like ppl don’t understand the insane expectations that were placed on her ever since she entered the industry, but she exceeded those expectations every. single. time. and that’s why she deserves this title

user she’s so beautiful

user i would die for y/n

user nothing could describe the amount of affection i have for this woman omfg

How would you suggest to learn art? I currently am only able to draw heads not very well but I try and I'm very inspired by your art, do you have any suggestions or tips?

look at ur favs and try to draw like them! when i wanted to start taking art more seriously i was copying frames off cuphead and the sonic mania intro by eye and eventually i made some art friends who i wanted to draw JUST like. and i basically tried to adopt the artstyles that inspired me during whatever era of my life at the time but naturally my own swag shined through and after many years and inspo from so many different things, i draw the way i do now, and am still striving to get better! so what im saying is legit to just look at ur favorite artists and try to do what theyre doing, study ppls styles copy art by eye for practice, try to push yourself to try new stuff. pushing yourself sucks a lot because it can be quite a demotivator when you try to do something cool but you dont see what you quite hoped but thats experience!

----------------------------------

wear ur inspirations on ur sleeve! some of my fav artists that have inspired me a lot in the past 2 years are bobobazarra, marcoggers on twitter, vintdoo, dakidavekat, evilsk8r, deppa, mettaflix. and those are only just a few! i could literally go on naming people for hours. dont be afraid to proudly shout abt what or who who inspires ur stuff!

when it comes to hard practice and studies, if youre willing to get into certain techniques u can try looking into ways to break down the body, like boxing out stuff like the torso and pelvis and stuff like that to use as construction. to me when the mood would strike me when i was starting out, doing figure studies and copying poses i found on google was smth id do for like 30 mins to an hour, even if they were terrible it was just fun to draw them and move on to the next. and it was experience! even if it didnt feel like it at the time. like, doing something like copying a buncha hands for fun creates a mental library for ur brain to pick from to help make whatever unique hand youre trying to make for your art. its all experience! so do it when you feel up to it!

-------------------------------------

and overall just try to have fun, if you find yourself frustrated enough to feel hopeless about art then just try to take a step back and come back later or draw whatever makes you happy. but when youre able to take on challenge and pushing yourself always try to, and try to have fun and keep in mind that what youre doing is gonna shoot your stuff to the stars and that u just gotta keep going. and get pinterest! that shit helps out a fuckton both with creative inspiration and art studies and practicing and tips.

------------------------------------------ also keep in mind everything ive said here is just my personal experience and whats worked for me. everybody works differently with art. something that changed my perspective a lot was meeting one of my favorite artists last year, and asking for advice because i was going through horrible art block and self worth issues. i was going crazy copying peoples art in my sketchbooks trying to figure out what others understood that it felt i couldnt, trying to figure out what was missing. i was super desperate for improvement and it felt like i was improving so slowly compared to others with the same amount of years spent drawing as

i. so when i asked this artist what they did to study stuff, they told me they barely even did studies on anatomy and whatever. which was crazy to me because it felt like they had such a grasp on that kinda thing and stylized it so well. that didnt make me stop studying though but it made me worry about everything way less, because it made me realize you just gotta do what you feel is right and what you feel is truly pushing you, but most importantly have fun doing it. it made me realize art wasnt this rigid ass process where i was breaking rules or not eating enough art veggies. so with that, i accepted myself and i moved forward continuing to push myself but not worrying as much about improvement right away, just have fun and do studies and shit as i went when i wanted to, and give myself a little push to strive for stuff just a bit crazier than what i felt i was capable of.

everyone is different, theres some artists that start from the feet up or start drawing a body from the shoulder its crazy. but its not because its objectively better to do that, its just how they draw. some artists do full sketch constructions for bodies, some artists do everything from eye. im sure theres some that switched from doing everything from eye to wanting to do construction for bodies and stuff, and vice versa. they did what worked for them, but what makes ppl rly improve is simply that they have fun in the process and strive to push themselves, thats the most important thing, or at least thats my perspective on it at this current point in my life.

so do what you feel is right, have fun, try different techniques out, try different stuff that you feel will help you, keep being inspired.

-------------------------------

best of luck to u, sorry for yapping kinda a lot and thank u a ton for the kind words!

the first psych abolition chat has concluded! our next chat will be on sunday, july 6th at 12pm est | 4pm utc. the link is here + the password, if it asks for one, is "frogs" (i think the link is autofilling the password).

here are some things we chatted about:

the gap between academic talk about psych abolition + behaving or living with that as a guiding value

mandated reporting laws, fear of retribution/liability among providers

struggling with identifying yourself as a psychiatric survivor in order to be taken seriously

prison abolition + psych abolition: where they intersect, the idea of 'born criminals', involuntary institutionalization

racism + colonization + their impacts on psychiatric survivorship

here are some works/resources we brainstormed creating:

a guide for mandated reporters looking to inform themselves on the harms mandated reporting can cause + different ways to practice abolition as a mandated reporter

a survival kit for ppl who are currently institutionalized

here are some suggestions made for future topics:

navigating madness while in school

as a reminder, ppl can also join the madness + liberation forum to discuss these things by filling out the google form here. all forum applications i've received should have been pushed through, so if you filled it out + didn't receive a response, that means i missed you somehow + you should dm me or fill it out again.

mostly a vent but—how do so many adults not only know so completely zero about nourishing themselves properly, but also have zero curiosity about their nourishment on top of that? like how are basic nutritional facts and basic food nutritional profiles and the barest RDAs not known and not even wondered about

like i meet adults every single day who literally can’t grasp the concept of a meal that they know and understand the components of. like. they legitimately don’t know or care what they’re eating at any point of the day but have complaints of many solvable symptoms of nutrient deficiency or saturation

even a large number of people who cook all the time will seem to have this incredible blind spot for knowing anything about nourishment

like there are people who think you legitimately don’t get nutrients from anything but animal flesh and leafy greens and then i’m supposed to act surprised when their bloodwork is a mess

and when i suggest “oh you may need to include more things like orange juice and potatoes and bananas and pumpkin seeds and dried fruit for other quick sources of electrolytes that aren’t just shit tons of sodium” after friendly discussions of muscle cramping despite water and Gatorade consumption

and they’re like “oh my god you’re so smart…,” lmao no i’m fucking not!!! fr how can you have persistent muscle cramping every day and not even WONDER if it’s related to what you do or do not put into your body. that’s my FIRST thought every time i have a palpable issue—“maybe i’m getting too little or too much of something, let’s get curious and think critically about what i’m currently eating and drinking”

especially people with chronic illness like me!!!!! come on now!!!!! how can you not even deign to google what nutritional advice you might benefit from!!!!

i’ve fr had people be in awe of my casual recommendation of eating more fiber. and even more awe about what foods contain fiber. like. you cannot be serious that you didn’t know that about your human body. you cannot be fucking serious!!!!!!!

how can you go through your day—through your adult life—not knowing or caring if you’re meeting your individual nutritional needs and how can you not even be CURIOUS about that if you know that you don’t know. ppl act like you need regular bloodwork to be able to suspect anything abt your body enough to try the very risky risk of simply eating more of xyz type of food (usually a fruit or vegetable god forbid) or something to just see if it helps with your issue ykwim. like eat an apple and maybe your gums will stop bleeding, matey. oh no cap’n i can’t i would need sooo much bloodwork to know if it’s ok to try eating an apple!!! come on now

like. i know im not a genius to just be knowing Feeding Yourself Properly 101. my parents never taught me a damn thing about nutrition and i never even learned it at school. it’s not hard. i know it’s not. so everyone else must just be stupid as hell abt this or willfully ignorant

and maybe they are bc the average western diet has most ppl malnourished despite a very, very large daily intake of calories so idk man IDK!!!!!

[exposingthemonster]

Hey, finally glad there is someone willing to stand up for the ppl getting targeted and harassed just for not liking the pop ppl.

I myself have made an evidence account. I am currently going through the posts for every single account involved in the situation. Archiving anything and everything from today till March, possibly before since I still need to investigate the claims that there has been bullying from Dana and Ceph specifically over someone's hot take over sun they didn't like.

Afterwards I am making a timeline of events, and airing out All of the dirty laundry. Every instance of name-calling, 'big twitter word' baiting, ableism, block evading, 'exposure post's from Both sides. Because clearly no one knows the meaning of not having a biased, if the recent fallout google document is anything to go by.

There will be an entire list of people that were in support of the hoax post, as well as anyone who reblogged it and did not denounce the hoax suggestion.

There will also be a list of anyone and everyone that has gotten a suspected 'gore anon' so we can get an idea of how far this plague of people have spread their hate. It may seem pointless now, but trust me, it'll be extremely useful later on.

If anyone wants to be tagged/notified of the account and what I've come up with as the masterlist, please tell me. I won't hand out my main, or the sideblog till I have collected everything to avoid getting blocked. But know it will be named after a vine quote and it is me. - ☀️🌙

I would actually like to know this side blog once you have all the evidence gathered. I would also recommend scrolling through the original confession blog ( @tsams-confessions ) till you find a post going over a fanfiction called “the celestial family road trip” as that is more evidence of the harassment people are facing because of the big blogs (The only reason I know about this confession is because I randomly saw pop up on my Tumblr one day and didn’t think to screenshot it. Looking back at it I should’ve screenshot it it and it replies, as there were people stating that they had come across it while scrolling through character tags for the sun and moon show)

[pretty-idol-hell]

It's me again! I've been playing off and on, but my phone got reset unexpectedly (tech people are not helpful) and I don't know if there's any way to get my account back. I can see there's an option to log-in but I don't ever remember being asked to make a password or anything. Do you have any advice? ( ；∀；)

Hello! I've answered several asks about this recently:

But the bottom line is...

Even if you did create a password, apparently the password system is useless for account recovery because it only lasts 15 minutes. I can only guess this is another measure to combat the supposed epidemic of account buying/selling.

So unfortunately my only advice is to follow the steps in the first post to contact support. Try and include payment records if you have spent money on the game? If you get a response saying your game can't be recovered, I've seen a post in Japanese suggesting you could try asking Apple/Google Play or maybe even your CC company for your money back?

I feel it would be in their best interest to keep current players playing and they should offer account recovery now or in the future if they intend for this game to last longer than 9 months, but...

seeing voting discourse on my dash again.

i will be voting regardless of what happens.

but i also think there are a lot of ppl who see someone who's gravely upset with the current administration, AND RIGHTFULLY SO, and immediately jump to the idea that the person won't vote????

someone suggesting voting for a 3rd party is not the end of the fucking world. this constant thread of "we need to vote either red or blue" is exactly why both parties are working for themselves and not for us. start researching in lesser known candidates, if you're able - start canvassing for those candidates.

this doesn't even need to apply to the presidential seat, it's all of congress too.

and PLEASE - if you're in a voting booth and see a candidate's name you don't recognize, take a while to google who they are

[queen-of-bad-opsec]

this cat will occasionally reblog porn, and other sexual content.

do with that what you will; if you're a minor, maybe it's worth staying away.

anyways, i am the Queen of Bad Opsec. there's backstory to the name. ppl close to me may ask about it.

she/her are my pronouns. 19 is my age.

this cat will frequently refer to itself as "this cat". she likes saying that, and . i mean, call a cat a cat, am i right?

@ all my mutuals: i suggest you go make a cohost. if shit hits the fan even more than it already has, that's where i'll be. welp, nevermind. cohost died first.

this cat is discovering the joy of colored text. please bear with me.

this cat is some flavor of trans. maybe she was a boy once, but she can't say that with certainty anymore. this cat learned the word "demigirl" recently, and is slowly rotating it in her mind. she likes the sound of "girlthing".

also, this cat is probably bi. or maybe pan? maybe she'll figure that out one day, hehe.

in any case, its gender is such that every sex with it is gay :3

this cat uses Linux. this cat will tell you to also use Linux. this is because windows is shite, macos is restrictive, and chromeos is both, plus google. big tech is a fuck, go use linux today. viva la FOSS.

this cat uses Arch Linux (btw). this cat will not recommend you use Arch Linux (btw), because Arch Linux is annoying (btw). this cat just happens to tolerate, and occasionally even enjoy, those annoyances. if you're new to linux, go use pop!os. if it werent for snap, i'd recommend ubuntu, but even putting aside issues of dated packages, why the fuck would anyone want more than one default package manager? it kinda defeats the purpose a little bit.

update: this cat has installed NixOS on its laptop. she likes!

central configurations, my beloved.

this cat loves tiling window managers. it used gnome once, but abandoned that long ago in favor of i3wm, and eventually cast that aside when it found swaywm and realized it wouldnt have to deal with picom anymore. now, this cat gets to deal with the lacking software support for Wayland in multiple critical areas (screen sharing is .bad) instead. this cat has heard of dwm and hyprland and a few others, and is a lil curious what all the hype's about, but lacks the energy to do the research. for now, she loves the rectangular simplicity of sway. she loves the low-effort nature of windows that just neatly tile side by side where you tell them to be, and wonders how she ever put up with floating window systems at all.

this cat plays video games. games it likes / has liked are Celeste, SUPERHOT (MCD too), FTL (esp Multiverse), Into the Breach, Minecraft, Satisfactory, the Metro series, Astroneer, ULTRAKILL, Dungeon of the Endless, Cyberpunk, Doom (2016 and Eternal, mostly Eternal) and Planetside 2. and more probably, but i forgor. want to play Highfleet sometime, bc i love the OST (Tanc a Lelek my beloved)

Current video games: Satisfactory, Deep Rock Galactic

[tonitheloftwing]

Last song: I don’t remember…. But probably “Baby Got DLC” by BotanicSage? I made smth with it and got it stuck in my head (The YouTube vid linked has suggestive imagery & the comments are really bad so warning)

Fav color: Purple or red!

Currently watching: Top 30 Worst Characters in Harry Potter by Caroline Easom. I just rlly enjoy watching people break down everything fundamentally wrong with the series, because it’s kind of validating to know that JKR was always a piece of shit with bad opinions.

Last movie: I rlly don’t watch much TV or movies at all so it’s just usually what my dad has on in the background. That being said, i think the last movie I watched was My Cousin Vinny? A movie my dad put on that didn’t entirely suck, yippie! (The NY accents were a blast it made me think about Little Mac lol)

Sweet/spicy/savory? I have a huge sweet tooth and an awful spice tolerance

Current obsessions? I’m rlly hyperfixated on punch out rn, and I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew valley. But I’m mostly really into punch out. I am always down to talk about punch out please don’t feel afraid to approach me 🫶

Last thing you googled? The wiki page for jade in Stardew Valley (i forgor what it could be traded for)

I don’t tag ppl in tag games cuz I know it bothers some ppl so anyone who sees this, and wants to participate, consider yourself tagged!

hi ok so there was a tag game i saw on my dash but it was over two years old or smth and i wasn’t tagged so i guess i’ll just put it here on my own blog

last song? around the bend (covered) by cheesy hfjone

favorite color? uhhhhhhhhh dark blue??? maybe?????

currently watching? probably going to rewatch hfjone tbh

last movie? wicked

sweet/spicy/savory? spicy. i cannot do sweet anymore fsr if i eat too much in succession i will actually die

current obsessions? splatoon, hfjone, and the periodic table but i don’t talk much about the last one

last thing you googled? “eyebrows are sparse” (google didn’t help unfortunately ;-;)

Here is a google form: 🖍🖍🖍

If filling out a google form is too much work, just lmk in the comments/tags here, or however you’d like!

If you’re not sure what kind of thing I’m asking for, my current example is that I want to make coloring pages based off Dune.

hiii!! i hope it's okay to just ask you, i really want to start writing fanfiction but i'm so embarrassed of my writing style and in general, ever showing it to anyone? do you have any tips for beginners? 🥺

Hey there Anon! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I was at work when I saw your ask, and wanted to really think about what to say before responding. With that in mind, I hope you don't mind a really lengthy answer.

I have to say I’m incredibly flattered to have someone ask me for writing tips, and will do my best to provide some insights based on my own experience. I'm no expert, but I've done a lot of writing both academic and creative. Of course, it goes without saying that the following strategies are what work for me, personally. Everyone works and thinks differently, so some of my suggestions may not fit the way you work and that's totally okay!

Because I am an anal nerd, I've organized my responses into categories.

Writing Style

Firstly, remember that your writing style is unique to you and you have nothing to be embarrassed about! But honestly, I think a lot of writers feel the same way; I don’t actually like my fiction writing style, either, and am always working to improve it.

One thing I’ve found that helps: find authors whose style you really like, and read and reread their stories and study how they write. What’s their sentence structure like? How do they write dialogue? How do they set up scenes? Is it through dialogue or more through the use of a character’s thoughts? This is what I do. I have three authors, who all write in a particular way that I really love, that I tend to reread and study for inspiration. Just know that your style is not set in stone and you do have the ability to adjust it, it just takes practice.

At the end of the day it's easy to wish we could write like our favorite authors, but don't be too hard on yourself; your style is special, too!

Getting Started

When I used to write research papers in school, I was a big fan of creating outlines before I'd start writing the actual paper. However, for creative writing, I don't use outlines because I find that I'm constantly changing things around. The outline would either have to be so basic in order to allow for flexibility that it wouldn't be of much use, or it would become irrelevant three chapters in.

Writing that first sentence is probably the hardest part of writing a story. What I did, for the story I'm working on now, is picked a part that I was really excited to write about and just started with that, first (I'm pretty sure it was something that comes much later in my story, that I haven't even posted yet). That helped me to get really into the process and feel confident about what I was doing, which made it easier to move onto other sections. What I'm trying to say is don’t be hemmed in by feeling like you have to write sequentially. I tend to write scenes as they come to me; I don’t force myself to write consecutive chapters, if that makes sense. For example, in my current story, I had chapter 14 finished before chapter 11 bc I had a burst of inspiration and just wrote it all out. Just be aware that sometimes this can lead to you writing yourself into a corner (which did happen to me in this fic), but the beauty of it all is that it’s your story and you can change whatever you want!

If you’re writing a story with chapters, keep a point in mind. My beta reader actually taught me this. With each chapter, ask yourself “What is the goal of this chapter?” Think of chapters as mini stories that, when combined and read in order, create one big story (duh). Therefore each chapter should ideally have a purpose that moves the overall story forward.

Write about what you know. If you don't know -> research

Authenticity is really important to me. I have googled the most random shit for this story: "Did soldiers have to repair their own uniforms in WWII?" "Popular slang of the 30s and 40s." "How to make jambalaya." "Popular cigarette brands of the 30s."

I have also been very careful around race in my story as it involves POC and I'm as white as white gets (I got a hyphenated name and everything). When I address a character's emotions around race I try to match it to how they acted in the show/movie. I don't rely on conjecture or how I think they'd feel, bc as a white person, it's impossible for me to truly know what it's like to be a POC. This also goes for dialogue; it can be easy to turn people into caricatures. I've watched TFATWS at least three times, and have watched numerous interviews with Anthony Mackie to try and make sure I write dialogue and emotion that fits him as an individual and not a stereotype. It's not perfect, and I'm sure I've made some mistakes, but it's something that's really important to me and I try my damndest to make sure Sam Wilson comes across as authentic.

Getting Edits

I see a lot of people suggest sharing your work with friends or family to get feedback. I'm not really a fan of this because I'm pretty private about my writing. I don't want anyone that I know reading it bc, frankly, I'm embarrassed (hey look how we came full-circle there!). Besides AO3, Tumblr is the only space that I feel comfortable enough to share my work without fear of judgement. I think the preferred alternative is to get yourself a beta reader. This is the first fic that I've worked on with a beta reader and...wow, what a huge difference it has made! I found my beta reader when he posted on tumblr expressing an interest in beta'ing, and so I messaged him (hey @3dg310rdsupreme). It’s the best decision I ever made. He has truly made me a better writer, and my current in-progress fic wouldn’t be nearly as good without him offering edits, acting as a sounding board, and reigning in my excessive use of lengthy paragraphs (he will probably cringe at these paragraphs, here).

Posting Your Story

If/when you do decide to post your story in a public forum, try to maintain a loose posting schedule. When I first started uploading I committed to a chapter a week, but by the eighth chapter I was getting too stressed and found myself glued to my computer 24/7 trying to keep up. Hold yourself to goals so you don't wind up abandoning the fic, but remember that you are your own boss and this is meant to be fun, so go easy on yourself. I'd also recommend getting several chapters finished BEFORE you even post the first one, to give yourself a head start. You think you have plenty of time but it's surprising how much time edits and rewrites can take.

It can be really scary to share your work with others. Writing is really hard, can be very personal, and it's an incredibly vulnerable feeling to put yourself out there like that and leave yourself open to the judgements of others. I was terrified when I first started to upload chapters because I just wasn't sure what reader etiquette was like. The last time I posted a fic was on FanFiction.net almost 10 years ago and ppl did not hold back their criticism (I think things have vastly improved since then or maybe AO3 readers are just nicer). I can't emphasize this enough: you are not obliged to take readers' criticisms/feedback whether they are constructive or not. I don't ever leave criticisms or corrections when I comment on other writers' stories; I honestly don't feel it's my place to do anything other than support them as they are sharing their talents for free. Some writers welcome constructive criticism, and will typically state that in the notes if they are open to it. I do not; it's why I have a beta reader. I did have one reader post a public comment correcting me on a couple things (one of which was a misunderstanding on their part) and I politely requested that in the future any corrections should be sent to me privately, not publicly shared.

Wow...I think that's a good start. I really hope at least some of these tips will be useful to you! Thanks for reaching out, feel free to do so again, and if you ever want to send some pages my way you are more than welcome to! Just remember, be kind to yourself and have patience bc seriously…

[insert witty title for this Rire answer dump here 😎]

In which there’s a tiny bit of advice and a doodle of angel!Rire

❗️For commonly asked qs please see my BTD FAQ

Consider this; drawing a legit straight line freehand is actually p difficult lol.

What i’m trying to say is that whilst it can be frustrating seeing ppl churn out arts like no ones business and being like “ugh why cant i be LIKE THAT”, ultimately the whole process isn’t a race :d Unless you’re doing something time critical for whatever reason, you can take as long as necessary to finish something (and the prac may help you to get faster so win/win).

Sorry there are no more plans for any more BTD games! Everyone is currently busy with their own projects :) I’m sure there will be others that will make VNs that have a similar feel though! (I’ve also added this q to FAQ for future reference)

O yes, he has had to prematurely blow his cover before for different reasons. Still a surprise though i guess!! XD

He does have a few allies of which he is more friendly with than others. And by that i mean he (and they) are less likely to backstab each other due to either genuinely finding each other amusing and having some respect, or because it’s simply more beneficial for them to get along. Possibly both.

None because part of his whole schtick is that he does things under the radar, unlike a Karen who just...doesn’t.

Google Earth, searches for nice/swanky local bars and lounges and the reviews on them, news, tea, “why did an adult human call me daddy”

Guys it’s literally just black instead of white, guys

His sincerest apologies here let him rectify that for you.

A lot. Too much? You did ask for them,

Luckily there’s still some in my BTD tag wink wonk haha

One of Rire’s assets is knowing when to pick and choose battles that will have favourable outcomes for him, but sometimes he’ll have to deal with battles he knows will be disadvantageous and didnt want to deal with in the first place lol.

He would be intrigued and would probably continue killing them over and over just to see what happens. Definitely a soul to be collected once he’s decided he’s finished with them.

Thank you! Haha there may be more baby BTD in the future - they’re not things i plan on drawing but sometimes i’ll get an idea or an ask that works with it which i then end up doodling. As for your other suggestion i know nothing about MHA so if you wanted an AU for that you’d have to make it yourself :d

He’d play the game of cat and mouse, just for a bit of entertainment. But who’s really the cat and who’s the mouse is up for debate 🤔

Pretty impressive of you to do all of that whilst trapped in a bottle
