I adore your art for Gamebird's Murderbot Big Bang fic! <3 (The one in the first chapter, the rest is not posted yet.) The way the station has elements that look like a crescent moon, fitting for GoodNightLander. The way the comic's panels are arranged and the text is picked and arranged (it's not often a fic gets an illustration as a comic!) The approach to the station and MB's face!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’m so glad you like it ^^ and that you picked up on the crescent moon shapes for GNL :D yess! I’m flattered n thank u!

what do u think is gonna happen next vtm session. laughing evilly

YOUUUUU. 🫵🫵🫵

Okay. Sits down. Hm. So uh.

Next session is likely the battle against Marisa. You’ve been teasing a ‘sad scene’ that I can’t seem to parse out what it is you are planning, but it’s only going to happen if chance goes your way .

First of all literally everything between Mortis and Marisa is sad, but the fallout is gonna be.. well.. oh man

Okay so. I think Bart if going to convince the rest of us to go and try to help Mortis. We go and we confront Marisa, and we fight her and stuff and hopefully win.

Personally I think disagreement within the party about Mortis won’t be too much of an issue or what it is you are hinting at.

I also don’t know what Mortis is going to do during the battle, whether she’s going to fight half hearted on our side or half hearted on Marisa’s or remove herself entirely but it’s gonna be torture for her..

My only guess I can come up with is that maybe Mortis will change her mind last second and throw herself back to Marisa..? In some sort of last grasp at her genuine love for her. And then maybe she dies by accident? Or not dies. I am pulling at straws here.. But that you think the factors for that happening isn’t set in stone…

Uh….. hmmmmmm hmmmmm. Cuz I think it has to do with Mortis and Marisa. I doubt you are going to try to kill a different character..?

[dawnlotus1]

heard you were looking for outfits to draw ocs in, so mappi outfit beam !!!

{feel free to not use all of them theres quite a few}

OH MY GOSH THESE ARE SO CUTE! oooooo yess I have plenty of characters to put in these outfits!!! Yay into the folder these go. Thank you so muchhh!

The third one and the last one (and the blue one) especially stand out to me :3

I think the OCs prolly being fitted will likely be Petra, Alice and hmmmm Oo I’ll think about that last one….

[dawnlotus1]

If you have a trio who would reasonably wear some variation of this for the oc outfits thing, mayhap

Sorry bout the quality it was the only version I could find on short notice

OMG. WAIT YEAH. ABSOLUTELY 🔥🔥🔥

Bart, Alice, Hannah from left to right.

Bart and Hannah are not my own OCs but rather my fellow VTM players @elmflowers and @woodenfawn PCs (respectively) and this fits them so perfectly. Hannah would have a Naruto shirt on too.

I will absolutely be drawing this trio thank you.

(Quickest refs I could find were doodles from my sketchbook) (full post about them)

(Will be back to reblog this w/ the outfit art sometime afterwards lol :))

Okay so this is a mix of my HCs, HCs I’ve seen somewhere and adopted, and straight up canon lmao.

Dakota Damascus, when he lived with Aunt Alaska, would always keep the space around him clean. He had a specific spot on the couch that was his spot that was spotless. His room was spotless. His spot at the dinner table. His aunts stuff was everywhere, everything from just junk, to her bottles and cigarettes and paraphernalia, to stuff for him, snacks, clothes lots and lots of dirty dishes. She just didn’t go a very good job of cleaning up after herself. It wasn’t her fault. Whenever she saw Dakota trying the clean any of her messes she would start doing it herself to save him the trouble, before giving up again. Eventually Dakota just cleaned up after himself. It was like they shared two parallel spaces within the apartment.

Additionally, Dakota doesn’t have much care for material possessions. Alaska brought him gifts and things, but none of them suited him very well except the comic books. He much preferred when they went out and did things together, like go skydiving or to an amusement park, because it meant a lot more to him that she was happy too and enjoying herself. Something that a “object for him” didn’t guarantee. Actually seeing her smile was worth way more.

Also this one is basically canon, but Dakota was the number one bully control in all of his schools. No anti bullying campaign was as effective as getting the shit beat out of you by Dakota. God forbid he caught you in the act. This got him in a lot of trouble with adults and he got several talking to’s a week. Whenever he told Aunt Alaska the story though she approved and got them ice cream. He was very friendly and made friends quick, but changed schools often and had to leave them before too long.

I’m not 100% sold that Katori just slipped. She said “what if could fly” before it happened. We know she was battling something, whether it was home life stuff or something else entirely. We met her mom, very powerful and exuded perfectionism who seemed to have a lot of expectations for her. After hearing Dakota’s stories about his escapades she joined him in skipping school and climbing around the city. They bonded over their mutual love for super heroes. She called their outings “dates” though Dakota didn’t feel that way, and she may not have either and just wanted to put some kind of importance on their connection -and liked to tease him. Her mother called her Tori, Dakota called her Kat. The possibility that she wanted to someone to remember her in a very specific way before disappearing isn’t lost on me. Now Dakota can’t remember her face. Maybe she wanted to be saved, and maybe she really thought that that fall would finally bring about Dakota’s powers he always said would happen.

In a way it did.

Ironically, for having an artificial heart Dakota’s character is all about the genuine heart, quite literally his heart is too big for his body. He feels too much. This isn’t a new development when he gets the artificial heart nor does it go away after the second transplant, but I find the symbolism so cool. Also his heart literally was going to kill him one day. Just like kindness and empathy so often leads to doom for heroes.

Dakota described himself as really skinny and bony when he was a child. Now especially with the new heart he’s always eating. He said he was physically too weak to pull Kat up. First thing he does out of the hospital is tear himself apart to get stronger. First he runs into the woods because he just can’t take it anymore. He finds people who can make him strong who beat him until the pain is all he can think about and there is nothing more he can do to fix himself. He pushes himself to the very limits and beyond because anything less is not repentance for not being able to do what he needed to do. He cannot accept failure from himself. He does this exact same thing after Ashe is turned. Drops everything. And out of guilt and shame and denial he has to remove himself because in the state he’s in he’s not good enough to be there, he’s not strong enough to deal with it. He’s got to go pay the price for that.

Dakota uses working out as a way to self harm. Training is something that people encourage instead of reproach. Working out, training, it’s always good right? No one worries about it. The pain means you’re growing. His muscles ache and hurt all of the time but he likes it because he knows he’s still moving in the right direction. If it doesn’t hurt he gets restless that he’s wasting time, he must be constantly improving or when he eventually doesn’t measure up it will be his fault. (I could write an entire essay about specifically this but I’ll stop here)

Last thing I’ll mention in this post. Since living with the prime defenders he’s lost the habit of keeping his space neat and tidy. He lets himself relax. He eats as much as he wants because there is no one else who needs the food. He only gives up the mechanical heart because his friends can pick up his supposed slack, and he finally wants to show his younger self that he didn’t need powers to be a hero.
