question! I've heard Floydneer is a bad ship; do you know why?

ok, going to be concise and to the point; the age gap between them is way to grand in my opinion, even if people say that Veneer is 18 or over, that is still a teenager, while Floyd is in his 30s. those are two COMPLETLY different stages of life. (thats like the same age difference between me and my older siblings and its just UGH) also, considering the fact that Veneer was compliant with kidnapping and torturing Floyd for months, that just makes me feel so so icky, im not too into the whole 'Stockholm syndrome' trope cause that is just,,,,, weird

so thats my two cents on it! most of the people ive seen talk about it bring up the same points as well. also sorry if this makes like, no sense,,,, i have some serious brain fog rn😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

What is powder monkeys about ? Is there a story ? What does MK do ?

Powder Monkies is an Au that I thought of after some fever dream I had with a pirate Wukong going off on adventures in his youth. So I tweaked it to be after his Sail to the West. There isn't quite a story yet, just a bit that I'm working on right now. (Fanfic in the works, drabble somewhere in the Powder Monkies tag I'd have to track it down again)

The main thing it's about is Wukong and his crew, which includes people he's picked up (or found as a baby in MKs case). They stop along a bunch of islands in their travels (Including the Port of Clouds which is the heart of the Celestial Empire run by the Jade Emperor).

MK is Wukong's current first mate and is in training to become Captain when Wukong feels like finally retiring.

Hope this helps ☺️

Do you have like a list of topics you aren't comfortable writing about? Besides the obvious (hate speech, non-con, pedophilia, etc)

Thanks for asking!

I'm putting a break under this in case some words are triggering for some people.

And please, if something makes me uncomfortable or I don't want to write it, I WILL let you know. So, don't worry if you believe you'll make me dislike you for asking if I'm ok with something.

Asking for permission is so much better than demanding I write it.

So kinks that I don't write for or am uncomfortable with are:

Anything to do with bodily fluids. Etc: blood, urine, feces, (Cum is obviously absolutely fine, just to clarify.)

Non-Con kinks are off the table UNLESS it is purely roleplay and is a consensual non-con.

Rape is a defs no, however. Even in roleplay. Stuff like hunter/prey kinks or rough housing during sex, is fine.

Violence/abuse is a no. It can be mentioned as a backstory or for angst reasons. But it won't be described nor ever the main plot.

I will add quickly; fighting scenes is fine (like action based stories).

Pregnancy kinks are a no. Getting pregnant and pregnant storylines are fine. Breeding kinks are a YES. But nsfw while someone is pregnant or forcing a pregnancy, defs no. Its a fine line, but I'll let you know if the pregnancy storyline makes me uncomfortable.

Underage characters included with nsfw are a MASSIVE no. Obviously. Please remove yourself from my page if you EVER wanted this as a story line. Having underage characters is fine, but this is purely as family, friend or somewhere in the story. NEVER included as nsfw or even hinted at any sort of relationship other than friendship or family.

Heavy stalker characters or story lines creeps me out, so none of that, please.

These are the big ones. And I'm sure I'll be missing a few but these are the base lines of the "No"s.

If you are unsure, by all means, send a message or even an anon ask, and I'll say yes or no. I won't kink shame you, we all have our preferences and naughty likes.

If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about drawing fat? :3

JUST THE EXCUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR

So, for me personally, a lot of the time when I draw fat characters, I'm not looking to specifically capture the specifics of fat as much as the feel of fat. Bulkier, rounder shapes in the right places that has a feeling of weight to em! A lot of that is intuition and simplification at this point, but it all works on the same frame as just any ol' person. Like take this-

For example. This is the basis for any body shape, not just the more average one that it may imply. Sure- it can be that average body shape:

But also a fat one too!

And a big part of that is knowing where fat usually tends to bunch up on the body, so lets take a look piece by piece! (Please keep in mind this is very simplified, and not completely precise in some parts)

THE FACE: Cheeks (in purple) and especially the chin (in light blue) are the places where a lot of the fat is gonna wanna gather and round out on your face! Additionally, theres a small pocket of fat beneath the cranium on the backside of your head. It's small, but it is there. I believe fat can build up elsewhere like the bridge of your nose and forehead, but generally speaking, you're gonna have a whole lot more buildup in other places first.

THE TORSO: A lot of the fat built up on the torso is gonna be sent to your tummy. More cushioning for vital organs, mostly out of the way, it just makes sense. Additionally, the lower backs fat builds up and joins with a patch of fat on your sides that forms what is typically referred to as the love handles to make that double belly look. Along with this, the immediate next target for the torso is the breasts, followed by the upper back!

THE ARMS: For this limb, a VERY notable amount of the fat present builds up on the tricep and bicep areas, lessening once you get towards the flexor and extensor areas. You can almost think of the arm as a sort of triangular shape, wide side starting from the shoulder and tapering towards the hand, which itself mostly builds up fat around the back of the hand and the fingers. The shoulders themselves don't build up too much fat unless you got a lot

THE LEGS: And finally, you can think of the legs having pretty similar curves to what you're probably already used to thinking. The front of the thighs getting a big buildup, along with the back of the calves, the other parts being flatter in turn. As far as the feet go- similarly to the hands, the top of the feet, along with the heels get most of the buildup, as fat on your soles would impede mobility. The glute, hip and crotch area will also especially build up fat, lending to the same triangular shape that you can see in the arm!

A big thing to note with fat is that it tends to taper off towards joints. Your knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and all the other places are gonna have significantly less fat so that you remain mobile and flexible, as that's important!

Now that we have an idea of where fat builds up on the body, you might have something that looks kinda like this

Which yes, does demonstrate a solid understanding of the places fat builds up, lacks the weight you're probably trying to convey, which brings us to out next point! Fat is well... heavy! Gravity is what gives fat much of it's shape, especially as you tread towards larger and larger bodies.

This is demonstrated really well on the arms especially-

Those big ol' bits of fat'll really start to sag when left hanging, and they will squish like hell if they run into something. I like to think of these bits of fat as big ol' ovals that squash and stretch depending on if there's an obstacle in their way or not

These are the important shapes to remember when it comes to the weightiness of fat! If you take all of this into mind, you should be getting something a lot closer to that shape you've been after!

Oh, and always remember that fat bodies come in all variety of shapes and sizes! Play around with a whole lot, and seek out all the resources you can! it'll really lend to your knowledge when it comes to this kinda stuff!

And as I always recommend when it comes to learning art- look at what your favorite artists do with fat bodies. See what you really like about the fat bodies they draw and try to replicate it in your own work, I promise you it's one of the most helpful things ever.

This is like the most basic of basics when it comes to drawing fat bodies though. If there's any additional thing about fat bodies, or maybe you want clarification on something, don't be afraid to ask! If there's enough to cover, I'll make an addition to this post!

SHASHAHS WHY HE'S SO HARD TO DRAW,,,,,??

[ganondoodle]

Hi! I absolutely love your art! I saw a post saying how demons are able to have kids by themselves. How does the whole process & the birthing process work exactly?

hello! thank you so much for this ask!!!

(i made some sketches and wrote down some notes on this but i will explain in more detail below that ... its pretty long again .. sorry qwq)

demons (in my OC story and world) are .. essentially "built" around the idea of what a natural guardian of an ecosystem could look like that is as indestructible as possible while still being very much a living being

their biology is somewhat simplified (if you want to call it that), meaning they dont have nearly as many organs as we have and it works rather 'simplistic' (like they recover their energy passively through the particles of it in the air- which is a reason why they need to breathe (other being to get the blood to the right places) and usually only eat if they had a loss of energy/blood, like a bad injury they needed to heal quickly or spending too much on magic use- and its literally just converted into magic/blood)

(truth be told i havent thought out or designed each and every organ, forgive me :V) but the main things are, four lungs, a demonic heart (the most important thing that keeps everything running), a second red blood heart (like humans have, but very small and a rather useless remnant of their evolution, sorta like the leg bones some whales still have), the reproductive organ (usually somewhat between the lungs, directly below the heart, but it depends on each demon) and a stomach which is also the dead end of their system (they are supposed to be able to digest everything that goes in there, if theres somethign they cant it has to be vomitted)

-having offspring is generally extremely rare, demons dont die of age and are (or are supposed to be) very hard to kill so its purely a deeply personal choice for them to have one- each demon can have them given the organ isnt damaged and they decide to kickstart the process (you cant really force a demon to carry a child)

-their genes work a little differently, a child from one parent isnt really a clone and inbreeding is technically nigh impossible with them in the sense that offspring wouldnt show any negative defects (culturally it would be a death sentence, as a romantic relationship that is, demons being single parents throughout generations isnt considered inbreeding) -if two or more demons are partners and want a child of them both they can exchange genetical information via heartblood (the highly concentrated blood in their hearts, which is the only thing that openly carries genes) deliberately through .. well cutting and transferring blood (alot about demons is really about their blood) which influences how much a child may resemble them for example but also mixes up the gene pool of both the parents as well as the offspring

-(important add on- this sort of blood exchange would need to happen right before kickstarting the process otherwise it would just mix with the general gene pool- a theory to explain, at least in part, why brutal fights are such a common thing in demon culture is to indirectly raise the chances of heartblood mixing in the act of fighting instead, since romantic relationships are so rare among them and most are single parents)

-once the process is started it can only be slowed down but not stopped (unless getting it out prematurely), and at reaching ca. 5% of development a demon is unable to change into humanoid/their smaller form since the fetus cant change form with them, trying it anyway is extremely dangerous

-offspring are considered to be 'full term' when they are born and can produce their own energy/digest food to gain more, though they can be born at about 50% of development without dying, then however need to cling to another demon to feed on their blood in order to reach that dev. stage

-its largely not visible when a demon is carrying a child, though it also depends on the demons 'built' and general condition (for example, Shargon is very slim and has little energy storage, depending on how long he lets it develop it might cause visible changes on top of typical behavioral ones, if Eadrya would do it they could without anything being noticable except the required refusal of changing forms really)

-a demon carrying an offspring will refuse to change form, likely refuses to engage in fights, generally retreat depending on their social status and might show shortness of breath (it puts pressure on the lungs and heart especially in the later stages and with slimmer or smaller demons), rest more and forage for things that are highly convertable to energy/blood if they cannot recover it passively evenly as it is used (a somewhat stable energy/blood/magic -sorry i still dont know what to call it so its not confusing- level is beneficial to the offspring, a lack of it can put both at risk)

-birth is generally initiated by the parent or when it has reached full term, and since its done so via the mouth it has to pass by the lungs and heart, compressing them both immensely for a short time, not being able to breathe and possibly causing the heart to stop temporarily depending on how far along the offspring is/big compared to its parent- Shargon cant carry fully to term since even an appropiately sized one has to pass through his slim body (Jyothi was born at around 90%, Tyura at roughly 56%) and it causes great stress on his system since hes chronically lacking energy in part from being hunted down alot (Tyuras early birth happened bc Shargon was critically injured by Eadrya and hunted by them during the earlier stages as well)

-it IS possible to allow it to grow to full term even when it cant pass by the lungs and heart though it involves bending or breaking bones (if he carried Jyothi the remaining percentage he would have had to do that) or in extreme cases to cut themselves open, given their healing capabilities that might sound not too bad but it is extremely painful, risks dangerous injury to both and permanent damage to the reproductive organ (also their healing is often more of an active thing rather than a passive one, especially with bigger and more dangerous wounds that need quick healing, meaning they have to actively "do" it, which is hard when you are literally dying)

-the offspring is within an translucent egg like bubble (though squishy) of ideally highly charged demonic blood, the outer layer can withstand quite a bit; ones born before reaching full term (in which case it would dissolve right away) either remain within it (if sufficiently charged with energy) or it dissolves/is cut open during or after birth and the child has to cling to another demon to feed on their blood this way

-uniquely, before reaching full term a young demon can convert any elemental type of blood to their own, losing that ability afterwards

-offspring can be of any elemental type from any parent though the likelyhood is slightly higher for ones with the same type, even moreso when it is a single parent (Shargon is thunder, his firstborn is wind, his second also thunder)

I hope this isnt too long and uuh answers that!! <3

you ever think about how Misa's lack of intelligence and the way she lets her emotions impulsively dictate her actions was kinda constantly made the butt of the joke in DN, yet she genuinely outlived all the dudes and dudettes who were always scoffing at her stupidity. Somehow this is even better to me in that she wasn't even trying to outlive Light and didn't have any particularly high regard for her own life, so it's not due to her secretly being the best strategist of them all intentionally either... Regardless of the author's intent behind it I like that it pokes some holes in their constant smug assertions that you must have the very highest IQ to be the last guy standing in the murder notebook game

[insertdisc5]

Insertdisc5 you have gone on record stating that Siffrin’s home country was not inspired by England, despite Vaugarde being France inspired and Siffrin’s old country being in a geographically similar location as England is to France.

You have clarified in the past it was inspired by a different country, so my question is this: while we have no confirmation on other Europe inspired countries their is a conversation between Odile and Mirabelle where schadenfreude is mentioned. This is a word originating in Germany which leads me to believe that somewhere there is a Germany inspired country. This being the case, and if the forgotten country isn’t England inspired, that implies the hypothetical existence of an undestroyed Fantasy England!

I find this deeply concerning. Should the world of ISAT prepare for the horrors of the British empire? Is the greatest threat to Vaugarde not the King but the Queen? The Queen of FANTAY ENGLAND?!

While the idea of Siffrin being British was disturbing I was comforted by the idea that England had been destroyed and wiped from memory. The idea that there is even a chance that England still exists frightens me to my very core. (Not that England doesn’t have a right to exist, it’s just historically speaking in the ISAT world we would probably be better without it.)

Please respond with confirmation that ether the hypothetical country in question has never existed or that it was rightfully destroyed.

Thank you.

why are you trying to find reasons to make fantasy uk real. go read lord of the rings or something.

hello !!! I've been trying to 'upgrade' a model of mine and something ive been trying to do is make it look smoother when limbs bend (so theres no weird gaps) and so I have come to humbly ask how you did the new etho's elbows if you don't mind sharing?? (love your work btw, your hair advice you gave me ages ago has been really helpful and i still use it :3)

oh for sure!! (bit of a long post incoming due to the pictures) I did a simple ball joint for the elbows, here's what his arm looks like separated!

I also make sure the elbow is a part of the forearm, attaching the pivot in roughly the middle, that way the shading stays relatively consistent! (though that's a personal preference)

Honestly a good real world reference i subconsciously use is those little wooden armature dudes, they're a good reference for segmented joints!

Hope this is helpful!! :]
