Because it is Mermay:

Originally did this art for one of @radiance1 prompts/story ideas, which also gives an idea of colors so.

I was waiting out there for hours!

this is how reading some of the best cod x reader fics the internet has to offer will have you feeling like

[weepingtalecowboy]

Fanfic prompt: you know how dink can control monsters and all

You know what would be beyond cruel

If he took the form of Malon and started fighting time while the chain is busy fighting the hord

Time gets increasingly angrier and annoyed by him daring to use his wife’s face to make him feel bad

Then in one cut he hatefully stabs him in the stomach and Dink drops this nightmare of a sentence while laughing

“You know that I can control monsters do you really think that she could resist me?”

Then gives time one last Malon like smile before dying

But the body never changes back and the hero of time has to see his lover’s death body right in front of him

The chain also watches in horror and guilt as time breaks down

And after the shock passes

A portal appears and the chain spends the entire time walking to Lon Lon ranch in silence and guilt for not realizing that the shadow took control over a loved one

As they open the door

The entire house was empty

And now either Malon was hanging out with her friends and because of that wasn’t home

Or

The shadow wasn’t gaslighting them and time really just killed his wife

(Wind just wondering why everyone is upset over the shadow dying because he can clearly see that it’s the shadow with his ghost seeing ability

Not understanding that the others are not capable of seeing ghosts and just thinks that they are guilty for killing a monster with their loved one's face

Is hilarious to think about)

Every time I watch the cold open of Memorial and B'Elanna tells Tom about how she ASSEMBLED a 50's television set from SCRATCH just to surprise him (there's no reason beyond that - just an incredibly sweet and thoughtful gesture) and replicated popcorn for him to eat while he watches and Tom says "They didn't have remote controls in the 50's ♥ Also where's my beer?" I contemplate murder ESPECIALLY because B'Elanna responds cheerfully to it - GIRL!!! LEAVE HIM!!!!!! IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE CHARMING IN THIS SCENE????

Man, I've been talking about ships a lot so I'm gonna take a moment and appreciate the family because I love the family they mean everything to me and are the reason I stick around for canon even when I have a headache from it.

Eclipse and Lunar? Even if Eclipse doesn't want to be/isn't comfortable with being family anymore (and vice versa with Lunar), I hope that one day they fix their relationship enough to at least be friends. I know they've done a game play together with Earth recently (I watched it) and it was so nice to see them laughing together. Even if they can never really be brothers again, not in a way that would be healthy for either of them, I hope they can be friends.

Solar and Nexus? They were best friends your honor. He was Nexus's only real friend, and his emotional support person because Sun pushed him away to the point he wasn't comfortable turning to Sun. He was tired of being treated like Old Moon and Solar never knew old Moon, so he couldn't treat him like him. Solar knew him for him, and that's why Nexus wanted to be his brother so badly.

Sun and Nexus? Sun is trying, and he's been trying, but he's so tired and broken that it's hard to put in effort to develop new relationships and he's really just isolated himself from the entire family in his apathy. But Nexus loves him, and has kept trying to be his brother, the brother he thinks Sun wants without realizing that Sun doesn't want him to be like Old Moon. Sun didn't even want him at all, to start with, but Sun's trying because he wants to love his new baby brother and treat him the way he wished Moon treated him. And I hope they also fix their relationship, and Sun can explain these things to him, and Nexus can explain feeling pariahed by Sun and they can be happy (with Old Moon in the picture too).

Speaking of Old Moon I want them to have the happy ending they deserve. Sun and Moon and their little brother Nexus and Lunar and their sister Earth and maybe even their estranged cousin/brother Solar. It's not the ending they thought they would end up with but it's one that would literally fix me. They're together, and they're a family, and they're happy. And Eclipse is a family friend, and Ruin's paid his dues, and they don't have any massive threats anymore and they can just relax and learn what everyone is actually like, instead of what they assumed or wanted them to be like.

It’s all perfect btw

[calamitybonesdesigns]

the evolution of Alpha

i figured i would post all of his renditions at once to show his character arc. also, i made one of his eyes heterochromatic, as i think there’s one or two versions of Survivors where he has heterochromia, and i thought that was really cool!

Hey Emmie! If you feel like it, I was wondering if you could share your personal headcanons on what you think all the LU boys would be, if they were animals. If you have any ☺️ I know you have opossum Hyrule (which I love so much) and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the other boys? If not, that's completely fine! 🩵

I still really love the vibe of Time’s form being a kestrel, esp when he was just a lil guy. Tiny, ready to throw hands, adorable, just like Mask :)

I believe in Swan Wars superiority 🙌🏼

Twilight is… a wolf

Maybe controversial, but Legend would be a little pink bunny rabbit :)

OPOSSUM HYRULE OPOSSUM HYRULE OPOSSUM HYRULE MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED

I’m still trying to decide on Sky 🤔 definitely some sort of majestic and dangerous bird

Four fr vibes like a little mouse. he’s just so little guy coded

SEAGULL WIND. He’d have the time of his life flying around and causing chaos 🫶

I genuinely can’t remember what I’ve said before for Wild but I really love the vibe of a stag for him

i was trying to be 'chill' about it. but my god when you looked at me i threw caution to the wind and forgot the five-letter word even existed.

[sawyer-is-eepy]

ahh, outer wilds, my love. it is your fifth birthday today!

you have brought me. so much. you taught me everything i hold dear, all the values i keep close by everywhere i go. you showed me so many beautiful and tragic things, inspired me to create so much, you have brought me tears through music and love and friendship and a silly little story.

you were so much more than anyone thought you'd be. you were just a little thesis project but then you became a life changing game that has touched so many people in such specific ways.

you have counseled me through grief and through confusion and taught me that really, the most important thing is that we are here right now on this massive but oh so small rock in an even bigger and scarier and uncaring universe.

so many quotes that i live by, so much symbolism, i could get lost in the pages of your story for hours(and i do)

you have made me a happy, loving person. for that i will forever be thankful.

thanks to alex beachum and kelsey beachum for creating such a beautiful story(and for weaving it into a game in such a perfect way)

thanks to andrew prahlow for giving me the gift of music that i will forever cry to

thanks to all the writers, the artists, the animators, the programmers, the playtesters, and the backers at mobius, thanks to all the people at annapurna who helped produce it, thanks to everyone who had an impact on this game.

you have brought a game that is truly remarkable. i will never have enough words to truly show my appreciation, so i must hope that this art will suffice.

happy birthday, outer wilds.

Can you tell I wanted to do exactly One (1) thing, here. That I was sooooo caught up in The Concept of The Guy and then just. Oh god. Fuck all that other shit. Fuck that shoulder armor in particular. Anyways! Say hi to Zephyr! 👋😊

Some doodles, various levels of got too smudged and didn't clean up. Rip

I do completely adore xyr attitude though... I imagine xe came from a strict family. Wasn't really "a choice" to pursue higher education (presumably at a particularly prestigious university), just an expectation. Performed... excellently? At least until xe broke under a lifetime of pressure. Also at the first taste of autonomy xe speedran one thousand piercings got huge chunky goth boots and then decided xe needed to go die in I mean Explore the labyrinth.

And finally! For reference!

The Determined voice has a bit of a soft-spokenness, to it. Which. Combined w the portrait's very somber expression, makes Zephyr's range of expressions I doodled extremely funny tbh. The serious-silly balance..... at xyr fucking limit. Sooooo put together about it, though (lying). With an award winning smile! (TRUE! Very cutes!)
