Ink October day 11: Firebreak
A strip of land that has been cleared, plowed, or planted with fire-resistant vegetation to prevent a fire from spreading.
#kh riku#riku kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts riku#riku kh#dream eater riku#kingdom hearts#kh#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#kh ddd#blue boi draws#ink october#ink october 2024#ink October 2024 day 11#I think this one might be my favourite of this years#itâs simple but I really like how it turned out#anyway Riku as a firebreak but instead of fire itâs darkness. guy who is darkness resistant who helps keep back the darkness#Riku using his darkness as a sorta âcontrolled burnâ method of fighting darkness#honestly darkness as a natural force vs darkness as a corrupting force⌠Riku having natural darkness and using it in a controlled way#to avoid build up that could be used against him by others with ill intentions#honestly Riku and how he deals with his darkness is really interesting. like local 16-17 yo figures out stuff on his own that keyblade#wielders have struggled with for ages. I think his method would be a big help to Terra in particular.#I feel like what Xehanort was teaching him was less controlled burn and more use it with reckless abandon. like he talked a lot of shit#about âcontrolling the darknessâ but we know he was just trying to foster the darknesses control on Terra so he could use it to fuck with#him. Terra would definitely be hesitant to try to learn again after that but hopefully Riku will be able to communicate the base idea of it#inbetween searching for Sora.#honestly Darkness and itâs connection to fire is interesting to me. thereâs maleficents green fire. that one move Riku uses a lot.#the appearance of darkness resembling fire is common (itâs either that or goop. shout out to darkness goop) which is odd#because fire is a light bringer. itâs probably meant to pull on the consuming power of fire but still#anyway i love him

Having a totally swell time at the Devil's Maw. Nothing bad has ever happened at the Devil's Maw
#the kingmaker histories#eisen iyer#colette and telesphore are technically here but. not worth tagging. lmao#my art#looping gif#my partner wanted me to draw something w/ the chickens in the devil's maw ep and this goofy thing was what first came to mind lol#i looked up a period- and semi-location-appropriate chicken that looked easy enough to draw and so this is meant to be a ramelsloher#approximately#in retrospect almost definitely too rare a breed to get thrown into the pit but hfghgcjhg

its so hard to watch time pass when things like careers and assignments exist. what do you mean im supposed to take that seriously
#I have an assignment that was due a week ago and I really really dont want to do it. I have to but i dont want to#im probably making it worse because my brain has built a wall around it so now i canât do literally anything else until thats done. but#because I donât want to do it Iâm just kinda stuck. turns out this is what they meant when they said emotional regulation is part of#exec dysfunction.. Iâll have a thought like if I get a little bit of it done now i can get it over with. I can just submit something#and then not even 5 minutes later itll be like ugh but I have to draw all the assets out. I have to write things and make spreads ugh#and its just flopping between those two things. i hate it when ppl are like well how much time do you need to work on one thing#because BOY id love to know too. Iâd love to know exactly when my brain wants to cooperate with me and work around that but I cant#even my period canât decide when it wants to punch me in the stomach. which is kinda funny in the grand scheme of things but still#its so weird im just lying on my bed thinking abt all this like damn.. the time will pass anyways no matter what I decide to do.. damnâŚ.#if I submit that assignment now and take the L I literally wonât die. itâll just be a deduction on an assignment nobody will ask me about#I know this but Iâm still stressing myself about it so my thoughts arenât really connecting to my body. weird#maybe its because Im having a hard time looking forward to things. theres definitely a lot I should be living for but I donât really feel#a strong attachment to it I guess? itâs been like this for a while with holidays and meeting with friends so I just donât#I kinda figured its because im pretty passionless and its more like passing interest. but itâs not very fun when it feels like Iâm going to#be living distraction to distraction for the next 70 years or so lol#idk it kind of feels like slowly bleeding out. which is funny because I actually did experience blood loss this week#had a 30 minute nosebleed and literally could not stand. also it felt like someone was pinching the back of my brain which was interesting#yapping#does this count as vent#vent#Ive just been making an oc carrd and contemplate changing my blog header for the past 3 days honestly

Thanks to whoever it was that had the post about "writing your dessert."
I just finished writing a delightful mix of things that I've enjoyed reading about in other Good Omens fanfics, and I think it turned out great.
Other people who enjoy unexplained nesting instincts in creatures with wings, demon summoning with a side of snark, and getting mistaken for the wrong kind of cryptid entirely will probably enjoy this particular trope cake.
#when the characters aren't human#that makes for some very entertaining possibilities#and I have definitely entertained myself here#you're welcome to come along#enjoy the trope cake#write your dessert#it's always worth it#Good Omens#fanfic#my writing#I apologize for nothing#some of those lines are making ME crack up#I want to draw fanart of my own fanfic#and that's a good sign that it accomplished exactly what it was meant to do

to this day, this easily remains my absolute favorite baby picture of mine. i love it to pieces and show it to literally anyone who is even slightly interested in looking at it. so of course, i had to redraw it with my sona!
#ace rambles#my art#The Sona#htf sona#iâm so lucky looking at my baby pictures doesnât make me dysphoric bc can you imagine if i couldnât look at this#look at it#i still donât know how to draw babies though#also iâm not actually confident i could read when this picture was taken?#i definitely didnât know what the words e(x)plosive contagious or flammable meant#not that any of those were true it was just a christmas gift my mom didnât want me and my older sibling messing with#and said sibling DEFINITELY knew how to read

Someone's tiny child drew a Something and they put it in their box saying the kid drew it for me. Which is cute, I guess. My mom did stuff like this when I was a small child who was obsessed with the arrival of mail. It's in the route's case to be immortalized forever.
Now to figure out how to read the drawing so I can find what I assume is treasure beyond my wildest imagination.
#girl if this isn't a treasure map i don't know what is#Lucas knows something i don't know. but he's three so he can't tell me in words.#i just have to interpret the drawing. somehow. at least it's color coded. that helps.#the back of the page says something about how he asks where the mail is every day#she wrote that he watches for my truck but they're in the woods so i know they can't see me approach#maybe she meant he listens for the truck. it's definitely loud enough to hear from a ways away.#whatever the case. little guy tried.#i always keep drawings from kids. even though i don't like kids. there's just something raw about what they draw.#no talent. no knowledge of fundamentals. but also no fear of being cringe or failing. just vibes.#i have so many things my brother and sister drew as little littles in a drawer with my art stuff and my sister wants me to toss it all#like. no dude. you drew a 'flower' when you were 4 and I'll have it until that paper crumbles to dust.#it's from a time before you could do anything to show you appreciate the people in your life in the same way you can now#a time when a shitty drawing was the best way to say 'hey. we're cool. i appreciate your presence'#i have one from my brother from when i broke up with my hogh school boyfriend that's a transformer (i think?)#and it says - in kid spelling - i hope you aren't so sad soon#like. he was 5 or 6 when he made that. guy didn't know what i was going through. he just wanted me to feel better.#something something humans find a way to communicate with one another despite language barriers and shit

Silly goofy StanNarrator (Patreon)
#Doodles#The Stanley Parable#TSP#Silly mode leftover doodles from my alt notebook#I wasn't as concerned with making these finished or pretty but they did turn out cute >:3c#Since I've established that Sinister thinks in images the next logical step is imagining the Narrator - and he hates that â¨#He is not made to be perceived! He is an imageless entity! A total enigma! Lol#If we as an audience can imagine what a Narrator might look like - to the best of our abilities - I don't see why Stanley wouldn't#Even if he's not Exact - personally I don't think it matters lol the Narrator isn't /meant/ to have a fixed form imo - it's still flustering#You give him so much material to work with Narra! To imagine what face you might make or your body language#Or worst yet when he plays with the mental projection like a doll - much like what the Narrator does to Stanley hehehe#How does it feel to be ''made'' to do things that wouldn't reflect you! It's an interesting role reversal that works within their confines#Also makes me wonder how much Narra would play into it haha - if Stanley ''flipped him upside down'' would he get dizzy? Even a little?#To what degree is he real! To what degree is Stanley real if he's not being interacted with!! The themes!!!! <3#Anyway lol ⪠Silly Stanley noise chart for funsies#There are a lot of sounds humans can make with their mouths even discounting vocal cords - I could definitely see him doing verbal stims#Who me projecting again? Psh no anyway (lol)#And then some kisses! This is my first time drawing my versions kissing!!! Which actually solidified a new headcanon for the Narrator haha#Because he (ostensibly) needs his mouth to narrate he doesn't like kisses on the mouth :) He weak to it!#Doesn't stop Sin from enjoying kissing him lol - it's a good way to shut up him In Case of Power Play#But sometimes⪠he'll try to respect his wishes - not all the time tho haha

#this really made me feel very nostalgic. drawing like this reminded me of how much i used to draw stick figures when i was younger akbxkwbx#and i find it very easy to draw that way so- yeah. stick figure definitely beats fastest character to make#I also made this little art to show a little of the affection that mike gave me these days that I was away from tumblr.#like- this flower being the messages of affection and also a fanart he made with the intention of making me better#and it's really something i've been needing so much all this time.#like.. even if it's not âso manyâ messages. it's more than enough to make me happy and a little better!#(in case- I know his presence already makes me happy but you guys understood what I meant. right??)#anyways- hope you guys like it!đ#also- thanks mike again for everything. you are really more than a kind and gentle person..

[Arcane preference]reacting to their s/o calling them husband/wife for the first time
Iâve finished the first chapter of the long fic about Universe 7 (Anytime it rains). As soon as my second beta reader gives me the okay, Iâll post it. While I wait, Iâve written the first headcanon (out of three Iâm definitely planning to write and post in the next few days) and picked up the drawing of Steb Iâd left unfinished. Iâm slow, as usual, but English isnât my first language, and Iâm juggling a lot of things at once. Enjoy!
socials: | INPRNT | | Tip Jar | | X | | BlueSky | | Ao3 | poster: | Jayce poster | | Silco poster | |Silco +self insert poster 1| | Steb poster | if you want to read the fluff longfic with vander and his happy family + Silco x reader you can find it here! â Masterlist
Jayce:
-This man is planning to put a ring on your finger as soon as possible, okay? -Between the academy, public appearances, and both theoretical and practical studies, there isnât a single moment when heâs really in the right mindset to bring up the topic -The worst part is that, deep down, heâs terrified of putting pressure on you -Thatâs why, the first time he hears you refer to him as âmy husbandâ during a gala with noble families, he almost chokes -He has to gather all his strength not to grab the interlocutor by the shoulders and ask if they also heard you say that word -Heâll try to keep his composure, maybe responding to your remark with, âYes, exactly. Her husband really did say/do/design that.â
Viktor:
-Itâs not a thought heâs ever really entertained; it never crossed his mind -Part of it is that science is his priority, and part of it is that marriage doesnât seem like something meant for people like him, -The first time you call him âyour husbandâ, that thought suddenly becomes real in his head, and he canât help but lean against a wall and wait for the other person to leave -âSo, Iâm your husband now, huh? Mmm⌠I donât mind, a bit pretentious, thoughâŚâ he jokes, making you roll your eyes -Now, more than ever, he has no idea what to do. Heâll give you a bronze ring from a machine heâs building -âUntil I can get one worthy of you.â
Ekko:
-Yes -Thatâs it -The end -Okay, seriously. The idea of being certain that something will last forever is probably his greatest wish -The first time you call him your husband, he doesnât see it coming -âWait, youâre married?â -âI was talking about you, Ekko.â -The moment you say it, he points to his chest, you see his lip tremble slightly, and his eyes grow shinier -He wonât stop talking about it for a week, and at least once a day, heâll ask if you still want to marry him, if youâre sure, if you love him -No rings before S2; the promise is made by drawing something for each other on your masks and clothes -After S2, he still canât afford a ring, but now that life is more stable, he can start thinking about a more traditional gift, like a piece of jewelry
Vander:
-This man is ravenous for any family role you might offer himâfiancĂŠ, father, husband. Anything goes -The first time you call him âhusbandâ, he plays it cool but will seize the first opportunity to return the favor by telling a customer youâre married -As soon as he can, heâll squeeze your hand, even under the counter -The idea of being married and having a complete family is everything heâs ever wanted -He wonât stop calling you âmy beautiful wife/husbandâ from that moment on.
-You said it first; you canât take it back. Now you have to get married
Silco (old man):
-This manâs only sin is loving too much, but Iâll save that reflection for another post -Having no ties other than his illegitimate daughter doesnât make him someone whoâs particularly keen on formalities -The first time you call him âyour husbandâ is in front of Sevika, and he slowly turns to look at you, while she slowly turns to look at him -âDid I... miss something?â Sevika asks, but he doesnât reply, still perplexed, before glancing at her and saying, âI donât know what youâre talking about.â -Heâs relieved but doesnât show it. He canât afford to just yet -As soon as he confirms you were serious, your name will be flamboyantly forgottenâheâll constantly refer to you as âmy wife/husbandâ
Silco (young):
-The man who survives on love -The first time you call him your husband is in front of Vander, and while Vander bursts out laughing, Silco chokes on his drink -âAre you serious?â Heâs so happy that his pale iris are completely swallowed by his dilated pupils -He grabs a pen and draws a ring around your finger -To his credit, he works in a mine, so itâs hard to do better than that, but it becomes the goal that keeps him going -Completely focused on family, the future, and anything that sees the two of you together and happy
Steb:
-The first time you call him your husband is at a dinner among enforcer families, and being mute doesnât stop him from stealing the spotlight -He whips around, blinking slowly with only his third eyelid in a gesture of confusion -When heâs 100% sure he understood what you said, his eyes widen, the small membranes under his eyes flutter madly, and even the barely visible gills near his jaw gasp for a moment -Someone says, âI didnât know you were married,â and he immediately nods enthusiastically, not giving you time to take it back -Within 48 hours, heâll have the ring ready
Jinx:
-The first time you call her âyour wifeâ, she freezes -âWhat did you just call me?â -Sheâs used to being a little sister, a big sister, a daughterâsheâd never thought she could be a wife. Family ties arenât chosen, but the idea that someone would want her in their life so much theyâd marry her feels incredible -âYou want to marry me? Really? Why?â -She bursts into tears, and itâll take at least 24 hours of cuddling in bed to calm her down -After that, sheâll run to her father to announce that sheâs now a married woman
Vi:
-She might not be Silco and/or Vanderâs blood daughter, but sheâs inherited their deep desire for family -From her familyâs tragic fate to Vanderâs, sheâs always seen family as the ultimate aspiration -When you call her âyour wifeâ for the first time, she doesnât notice right away, but a full minute later, she whirls around to look at you, as if to ask for confirmation -âSay it again.â -â...You need to buy bread?â -âNo, all of it.â -âMy wife needs to go buy bread.â -âAgain.â
-"My... wife?"
-"Again"
Caitlyn:
-Has she thought about it? Yes -Was she planning to act on it? Not exactly -Caitlyn struggles with emotions and feelings, which is why she hesitates and takes her time -But when you first call her âyour wifeâ, her brain completely shuts offâshe just stares at you, unable to hear a single word being said -If you or someone else asks her a question, sheâll snap out of it and respond, -âMy wife/husband said everything.â Even if it makes no sense as an answer, making you laugh and leaving the other person baffled
Mel:
-Not a single flicker of surpriseâthe first time you call her âyour wifeâ, she remains completely composed -âSo, Iâm your wife?â she asks as soon as youâre in private, approaching you like a feline. You can almost hear the purr in her voice -Sheâs amused but also intrigued by whatever game youâre playing -The idea of marriage is complicated for herâon one hand, it feels like it would limit her freedom to act, while on the other, unresolved family issues seem to devour her at the mere thought of starting a new cycle -Sheâll tell you to go ahead, to get married, but sheâll also ask for time -In the meantime, though, sheâll start using the term âhusband/wifeâ with youâshe likes the way it rolls off her tongue
Sevika:
-Between the work she does, the environment she lives in, and all the interesting circumstances of her life, marriage has never been on her radar -Not to mention that in Zaun, itâs not exactly a common practiceâpeople just move in together and build families when they can, without much fuss over formalities or bureaucracy -The first time it happens, sheâs playing cards with the other goons, and you casually ask if âyour wife is winningâ -Her first reaction isnât even hersâitâs the othersâ. Dustin, the blond goon with the lazy eye, almost starts crying, embarrassing her -Donât worry, sheâll make you pay for it at home -She wonât ask to formalize anything, but in true Zaunite fashion, sheâll consider you married, plain and simple

i hate that thing i do where i prioritize drawing/painting/sculpture above like every other form of art. like if i fill a sketchbook that's more of an accomplishment than this cool hat i made. maybe the equivalent to that is crafting an entire outfit down to making the pattern myself. or filling a box with Stuff I Sewed. idk, i think drawing is just valued so so so much online and i watch all those sketchbook tours and i'm like Wow! these people are so motivated and these sketchbooks are so cool and filled with personality and just. so dense with creativity and I Wish I Could Do That but i already do. i just don't do the 'one sketchbook a month' thing. i have The Yearning but not the drive to draw that much and i need to just value what i'm already doing that's easy for me to do right now.
#i (and i think a lot of other people) are definitely not meant to stick to one thing their entire lives#and ESPECIALLY not one artistic style. it PISSES me off when kids are like 'how do i Find My Art Style??'#it's like. when you find a label and you try to fit yourself into that label instead of doing self exploration and finding a label that fit#YOU. or just doing away with labels entirely#it doesn't piss me off in a Kids These Days kinda way but in a Don't You Know It's A Trap kinda way#humans crave variety!! fuck#dude you don't have to stick to one thing forever. branch out!! hold my hand. come with me. i will show you#sketchbook tutorials are so. inspirational to me. like they make me feel good. it feels good to look at peoples' art and it's a bonus#that it's such a personal thing they're sharing. but they're all the same and they also make me feel endlessly hopelss#so i avoid them like the plague. i think my problem is that i hate art school and being told what to do with my art#guidance with a specific thing you're working on is one thing but so much of it is like 'you need to develop these skills to do art good'#and like. you really don't. if that's boring and you hate it and it makes you wanna die then don't do it#fuck around with ms paint and 'perfect your craft' on there and like#find people who like your art and whose are you like and collaborate because community is a part of it also#make a quilt. follow a pattern. make your own fucked up pattern and then realize there's an easier way to make a pattern#do. mud sculptures. buy some dollar store clay.#don't spend more than you have to on art supplies. use a mouse to draw for goodness sake it's so freeing#i'm mad about nothing if you couldn't tell. i'm very sleepy and i want to make art but i don't have the energy#gonna make another hat later

Ryoko Kui Exhibition & ''Delicious in Dungeon'' Exhibition
"Delicious in Dungeon" Artwork
Cover illustration draft, vol. 1
Since this was the first volume, I tried out a few different drawings and had the editor and designer choose which ones they wanted, then made small adjustments. I personally liked the top-down draft, and the one of the cooking processes (back cover) the best. But looking back, I sincerely think it's good that we didn't go with those. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 2
The format was decided for volume 1. So, volume 2 came together quickly. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 3
I thought it might be cool to make the character Chilchuck darker in the foreground, and the background brighter! But it didn't quite work out the way I had imagined. I think it could have been a bit better. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 4
I remember that the overall shape of volume 4 came together very quickly. The character Senshi's hands didn't fit nicely, so I moved them backwards and to the side. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 5
I thought people might start to think "how many have I bought?" so I wanted to create a slightly different impression with this volume. I decided to put the character right in the center and try putting it together all in blue and green hues. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 6
With the Red Dragon defeated, have we reached the halfway point in the story? With this in mind, I thought of how many volumes were left to go, and the number of characters, and decided to pair up the characters Namari and Shuroiro. In hindsight, it would have been fine to have them on one cover each. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 7
The image is of focus lines converging on the character Izutsumi. This is the kind of cover, with upside down characters, which I've always wanted to try once(?) I submitted it as a trial, thinking that at this point the cover wouldn't dramatically influence sales. However, in the end, we decided it would be better not to have it upside down. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 8
I tried blurring the mushrooms in the foreground, then I accidentally saved over it, and couldn't go back to the original. I remember apologizing that it was probably tacky, when I submitted it. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 9
I don't think snake meat is marbled at all, but if it has an unfamiliar look, people might not recognize it as meat⌠so I made it look like beef to make it easier to understand. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 10
I thought it might be interesting to have more than one of the main characters on the cover again, so I added the character Falin. I remember it wasn't badly received, but it still ended up just being Thistle on his own. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 11
I wanted this cover to be covered in shiny gold. After I finished it, it didn't have enough color, so I painted the tablecloth green, and it ended up looking like Christmas colors. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 12
Up to this point, the covers have featured one of the main characters holding cooking utensils in the foreground and a monster in the background, but I thought it might be interesting to reverse the format just before the final volume, so I drew this cover with that in mind. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 13
volume 13 was meant to be the final one, but it was too thick to be published as a single volume, so we decided to split it into two. The question of âso, what should I draw next!?" may be at the forefront of volume 13. (Kui)
Cover illustration draft, vol. 14
I had decided that the final cover definitely needed to have everyone eating together on it, but because I was publishing two books at the same time I was pressed for time, and it was difficult to have a cover with so many characters on it. I also submitted a rough for an illustration that didn't need me to draw any crowds, but such obviously easy ideas are never adopted. (Kui)
TV anime "Delicious in Dungeon"
About the ending illustration.
I drew these based on the director's instruction "This kinds of pictures." I hardly ever have the chance to draw color illustrations, so it was a valuable experience for me. (Kui)
