its that time of year again baybee

[tangledinink]

Heya! First off I’m around halfway through teenage mutant what now and it is the funniest fic I have ever read - Beautifully written and overall brilliant but the jokes get me every time

And second, is it okay if I reference a pose from one of your gemini artworks for my own work? I’ll credit the inspiration if I post it anywhere ^^

whew we're overdue for an ask dump,,, OKAY ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU ; w ; I'm really glad you like it hehehehe. also yeah sure feel free! I don't mind! ^^

HEHEHE THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY THANK YOU

oh he DEFINITELY freaked out at first. there was a lot of panicking and confusion and "how could this even happen?!" ("you think i'd genetically engineer a creature that's not capable of reproducing? all of you should be genetically compatible with practically any yokai," draxum said. "AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO, I DUNNO, TELL US THAT?!" donnie said.) but eventually, he did calm down, and he and his partner talked about it (a bunch, multiple times), and eventually some of the panic gave way to... curiosity, first of all... and then maybe kind of excitement? and some fondness? i mean, he was still pretty scared, and sure, he doesn't really consider himself a 'kid' person, but it's not like he never thought about EVENTUALLY having kids, just maybe... not so soon? but. i mean.

well. if they're already cooking...

THANK YOU ; w ; i'm glad you like them! @kiwi-smug-silvalina

oh gosh, that's a good question. i'm not entirely sure... uhmmm... i would say perhaps... details about how gemini!donnie's witchcraft looks and acts, VS how venus's witchcraft looks and acts...

it is very shiny. i like that people call it "the bean" instead of its actual title coz it pisses anish kapoor off.

ah ; w ; THANK YOU SO MUCH,,, thats so sweet and this made me very happy,,, <3 im glad you liked it!!!! @allegedllama

HEHEHE thank you. yes im aware that i am deranged.

omg same hat!!! i was a lifeguard and it was.... uh.... INTERESTING to say the least... (sometimes lovely, sometimes AWFUL...) @datfearlesschick

if by games you mean 'messed up deals that she can manipulate to her own advantage,' then yes! @frogonamelon

@beannary @spectralsleuth @heckitall @livsinpjs and the sep council as a whole!!! y'all's support has definitely meant so much and there's no way i'd have gotten as far with any of my projects as i have without them... or without literally ANY of the people who take the time to do things like reblog with tags, leave commentary in the tags, send in asks about my stories, etc etc etc! that's definitely one of my main motivators to create more!!! <3 thank y'all!

EEEE this made me smile, hehehehe. thank you :3c @thejavavoid

AAAAAA THANK YOU THIS GENUINELY MADE ME SO HAPPY COZ I WAS SO GODDAMN PROUD OF THOSE HANDS AND HOW THEY CAME OUT ; w ; THANK YOU @onejellyfishplease

thank you!!! u w u @fanrulerjynx

THANK YOU ; w ; I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS,,, it made me very very very happy and HEHEHE IM GLAD YOU LIKE YASSIFIED DRAXUM,,, i just think he DESERVES it, y'know? also thats just my favorite way to draw characters lmao I think it's fun so I decided for this comic I just get to indulge...

not necessarily-- this was mostly just a coincidence! @breezehurricane

oh gosh. i'm not sure, but i know it definitely WILL affect their parenting... i think at first donnie will find himself just... deferring to his partner a LOT in almost any situation because he's afraid that he'll fuck it up, because he DOESN'T feel like he understands proper boundaries or what parenting is supposed to look like, etc etc etc, and he's afraid he'll mess up. he probably reads a TON of parenting books as well because RESEARCH and will often try to pull directly from them in any situation he can, and is confused when things don't go exactly the way they were described in the text... leo i think kind of tends to flounder between being overprotective and feeling the desire to protect his son from everything and anything and wanting to overcorrect this tendency by pulling back and trying to give him as much freedom and space as possible, which sometimes leads to some... inconsistencies. there's definitely a learning curve for both of them, but they both get the hang of it eventually. they both have lovely partners and a very loving and supportive family to help them and they'll figure it out with a bit of practice.

ahhh thank you! :D im so delighted that my silly stories actually inspired something for you!!! hell yeah!!! MAKING THINGS IS GREAT!!! THANK YOU!!! @can-elope

i like to imagine them all staying very close, especially coz i'm loosely planning on them all going through the kraang-apocalypse together (and then coming through to the other side!) so i can't imagine them ever drifting too far from each other, emotionally or geographically. there's a bit of a rocky start for a lot of them, but all of the siblings end up a very tight-knit bunch.

✨, 🎥, 💕, and 🏳️‍🌈 for OFMD and Madoka?

ahhh Iz! so many, thank you so muchhhhh

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

for OFMD: i love the characters!!!!!! all of themmmm. their dynamics are probably the most interesting thing for me. i also love the setting & playing around with more serious sailing stuff, and also into the areas that make this group special. i think fundamentally, the show is such a good sandbox to play around with, what could happen, why, etc etc. i love adding little pockets of lore (i think this is why im so drawn to Sam Bellamy stuff, its adding more to the universe & to izzy and layers of depth that werent there before, even if hes completely part of the past). especially after s1 and kraken era speculation, it was all the what ifs and maybes that drew me in.

for PMMM: this is a hard one! i first watched madoka back when it came out in 2011 so its really hard for me to imagine a life where its not important to me. i think the thing for me about madoka magica, is that its about hope. it so often gets sold as a dark magical girl anime, but at its core, madoka is about looking despair in the face, and choosing hope anyway. its about finding a way through even when it seems impossible. ive always been drawn to that. and the interpersonal dynamics- im big into the different story manga, which adds so much depth to kyoko & mamis characters & their relationships.

🎥 do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation?

for OFMD: ive already mentioned one, so again, that, but a second one: the new unicorn scene. its both the complete opposite to the other, and its twin, and it means so much to me. its really first time we see izzy released from his duties, as first mate, to ed, this is just izzy. and its the first time we properly see him accepted by the crew. i dont really know how to put into words what this scene means to me, but i think you understand anyway. i cried. thats my fucking boy!!!!!!!!!!

for PMMM: i think most of my favourite scenes are from the manga (again, TDS fan) but out of the anime, i think its probably the fight against Elsa Maria- its stylised in a gorgeous way, the animation and movement is artistic and gorgeous. and, its the first moment where you really start to feel dread. the first moment you realise that something awful is coming. its beautiful artistically and narratively

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

for OFMD: skipping right over the obvious, because ive dedicated my life to the fuckin guy, archie!!!!!!! my sweet love!!!! urgh shes ao delightful, one of the best things to come out of season 2 forreal. i dont think theres a single scene with archie i dont like, i love her stupid little quips and her pragmatism about everything. thats just the way things go, we fight to the death. pointing out that the guys on top do get away with it. idk, theres just not a single thing i dont love. its also so nice to introduce someone not of the revenge mindset, but also not as messed up over things as fang & izzy. she just fills her role perfectly. so fun to see a "normal" pirate. i love her i would do anything for her

for PMMM: i am, in my heart of hearts, a kyoko girly. my first love, the original. i think loving kyoko set me on the path to love izzy too. shes the underdog, she comes in as the villain of the story, till you start to dig into her character and understand why she feels the way she does about things. even if you disagree, its a different perspective on her. shes teeth and claws and knows nothing but fighting to survive. i love her backstory and her attitude to the truth of their life, and i love her stupid little quips. yes girl it is reasonable to break a guys legs to get him to date

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

for OFMD: as i said earlier, im pretty flexible on most headcanons, usually working whichever fits in to the particular idea im thinking about, but trans izzy is pretty consistently up there. its one of those things that i think adds a lot of flavour to his actions in canon, and also adds backstory to him and why he might be who we meet in canon in the first place. also making characters trans fucks and should always be done 👍

for PMMM: everyone is gay. including hitomi. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

media hyperfixation ask game!

Figuring Out Who to Play in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 lolol

Okie I bought Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 but need to decide what character to make for it. My main OC Avoca looks like she is Super Saiyan  4 but is just a normal level while like that. SHE WAS JUST BORN THAT WAY. I saw Xenoverse doesn’t have the ability to make your char look SSJ4 in base so I was thinking of playing one of her adult kids in the game instead. *Cough* The Dad is a version of Future Trunks of course. *Cough*

BUT THEN I also found out in Xenoverse,  Trunks used the Dragon Balls to wish for a powerful warrior and thats why your character shows up.   For some reason I found this more funny than just the Kaioshin of Time asking you to work for her because- just imagine being wished somewhere by an alt-timeline version of your Dad like WHAT lol. Anyways, I thought it would be a fun thing to use to explore each kid’s personality. How they would react to an alt-version of their Dad wishing for a powerful warrior and then them showing up. Maybe it will help me decide which kid I should play in Xenoverse 2 lol. 

Hell, I'll put up a poll to help me decide too lol.

INFO ON EACH OF THEM UNDER THE CUT.

Boxer

He is supposed to have a sweet Samwise face I just can't draw sweet people WEH.

With light purple hair and blue eyes he’s obviously related to Trunks. His hair cut is even pretty close to Trunks. (It's more like Gohan’s bowl cut on Namek.) However Boxer wouldn’t say ANYTHING. He’d pretend like “NOPE THIS ISN’T ODD AT ALL.” I would also headcanon that Trunks finds this obvious too but also does not say anything. So it's gonna be awkward. Boxer will not get up in Trunks business though and treat him as any other acquaintance. He would very dutifully follow orders and help any way he can. 

I keep thinking about what Trunks would think in this situation lol. Long story short, Avoca is technically related to Goku. So Trunks could see Boxer and not think ‘this is my future son from an alt timeline’ he can also think ‘this is me from an alt timeline where Goku was my father instead of Vegeta????’ Boxer does have softer face features l sooo… anyways lots of internal screaming from poor Trunks.

Boxer is technically personality wise supposed to be a perfect blend of his Mom’s and Trunks’ personalities but I can totally see Chronoa witnessing Boxer and Trunks sharing the same brain cell a lot lol. 

Jock

And he’s gonna be the complete opposite of Boxer. While he is 6’4, dark purple hair, and yellow eyes- He could pass off NOT being related to Trunks. However, he would just tell Trunks right away he’s a son from an alt timeline. He would call Trunks ‘Pops’ and be his wingman. While at the same time having Trunks’ back, he would also pick on him like the same way he would tease his siblings.  

Jock has a huge dislike for gods and angels but will behave for Chronoa since a version of his father is there. Anyways, he’s here for a fun time and won’t stir up trouble. But also won’t tell anyone he has a time machine on him. Lol. Maybe he’ll tell Trunks if there is an emergency. 

I headcanon that Trunks in general, though proud of his Saiyan heritage, at the same time would keep the ‘being royal family’ on the down low. Jock on the other hand, very loud about it. Also one of his jackets has a combo of the Capsule Corp and Saiyan royal symbol painted on the back because why not. 

Olive Twins/Seelie

I DIDN'T DRAW THEM BOTH CUZ THEY ARE TWINS they are gonna look the same anyways it was hard to draw the same thing TWICE.

Olivia and Oliver have the ability to stay fused as long as they like so I would play them as their fusion named Seelie probably. With black hair and teal eyes they aren’t obviously related to Trunks. They would not say anything but would also be little gremlins about it. They would be very protective of Trunks. Also they would very much block anyone who isn’t like their mother from hitting on Trunks. LOL. They can easily be bribed to stop doing that though with any treats or trinkets they have never seen before.  

As I write this I realize Jock would totally help this alt Xeno Trunks get a date with anyone not like his Mom because he doesn’t want another HIM around. While the twins are very loyal to their Mom, only someone Mom like can see their Dad. Did I mention the twins are like goblins? I just picture them making those clicking noises like house cats do when watching birds when anyone they don’t like gets near Trunks. LAWD.

Their Fusion doesn’t look much different from each other since they're twins. Makes them taller lol.  But the fusion does take on more SSJ4 features like their mother has. YES I KNOW THE GAME CAN’T DO SSJ4 features but I’d figure something out weh. 

Brawler

He wouldn’t obviously look related to Trunks - blue eyes but black hair. He has his face though but maybe it’s not noticeable under his long black hair and bangs lol. Though when he goes to Super Saiyan it's more noticeable. Brawler would not say anything about being technically related to Trunks. He wouldn’t want to influence anything in whatever different timeline this Trunks is from. I’d say out of all the siblings he is the most calm. He’d also not be much different in behavior than Boxer would have. Maybe less stressed than Boxer would be. Lol. He would be a pacifist if he could but you know how LIFE IS. 

Brawler is more of a reverse Zamasu where he really likes people in general. A very Doctor Who vibe but uh, much more introverted than Doctor Who. LOL. He is very much wanting to help people but uses a different name when he helps someone because he doesn’t want to be perceived. He has that extroverted introvert energy going for him. I already have a list of different names he would use while on different planets/timelines/universes when helping people: Ajax, Orion, Eschalot, Ascher, Dechard, Sync, Kyrios - and I’m sure I can come up with more. If I use him in Xenoverse 2 I’ll probably do Orion or Ajax. WE’LL SEE. I do love how clever I was doing Brawler though. IT HAS AN UNDERWEAR WORD IN IT SEE. But still fits with his brothers Jock and Boxer so FRIKIN CLEVER.

Anyways thats all I got. lol. It took me too long to write this AHHH. I'm also working on profiles at refsheet.net

[what-if-nct]

Hiiii!!!! I. Have. Talked. To. My. Crush. She. Likes. The Owl House. And. I. Promised. To. Draw. Something. For. Her. Birthday. And. She. Is. So. Nice. To. Me.

BUT SHE HAS A GIRLFRIEND 😭😭 Although I'm really happy for her they look so so so cute together!!! She's so nice to me tho, tho we dont have anything much to talk about anymore. I befriended her and thats enough. I hope they have a happy life together and that she'll always be happy!!!

How are you doing? Are you feeling alright? I hope you're feeling okay!!! ( I love your style so much, even more than anything I've loved in my life. You're too cute and pretty and nice and kind for this world. ) For the colors, every except gold( ish ) I don't feel comfortable flirting with you, but I really really really love you! Hope life treats you well!!!!

I'm going through a minor Wang Yibo addiction right now. His voice sounds so good and him and Xiao Zhan ( platonically ) are better than the world. Yeah I watched the untamed and I am going through another phase. Xue Yang. Also there's this character who's name is Wen Ning and he's shy. And sells radishes. And he's a dead man. A very kind dead man. He is really kind and I love him way too much. Just seeing his face just cheers me up tho most of the time he's staring into my soul.

Today I showed my Haechan ( ♡ ) photocard to my dad to see if he could guess the age, and he guessed it right. So my dad is a boomer, such a boomer, but somehow, he knows some stuff. I sang 'I wonder how' once, and then he sang 'I wonder why' I was fucking terrified. Seriously I had not expected that. Also the song Bamboleo once trended in a community I was in, and he knew that too. He still is very much a boomer, he doesn't know who Justin Bieber is. He only knows the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. He probably doesn't even know Queen.

I went to my new school, and ran away with a panic attack day one. I got chased by the same teacher thrice. She terrifies me now. I hate her for how she acted. I said 'leave me alone' everytime and everytime she was like 'okay.' And then she came back with 'i only wanted to check if you're on the right side of the train station' and 'maybe it'd be better if your dad came picking you up' you know what? Fuck off. I hate her now and nothing will probably change it 😭

— sneeze ♡♡♡

Hiii! Oh yay I'm glad you were able to at least become friends and get to know each other. I think a friendship would be just as fulfilling. I hope you get to have more things to talk about in the future. And it's so sweet you're going to draw her something for her birthday I'm sure she'll just love it.

I've heard Wang Yibo's name before but I don't remember where he sounds so familiar. I just went to check and hes been on shows with Yixing that's how I know him of course. I figured it was through my husband Yixing. Also Yibo has the same birthday as me! The only person I know with my birthday is Yungblud and I love him. Also Yungblud and Yibo were born same day same year I love finding birthday twins.

The older generation does tend to know at least a few things from later generations. But not much but a few unless you have a mom who used to be a groupie for white snake or guns and roses or a grandma who was a hippie who went to Woodstock clearly they are the coolest people of their generation. Also Gen X are automatically the coolest generation of them all. Like Millennials honestly an anxious mess of a generation as one I can say that we're a mess. Gen Z still finding their footing mostly teens but definitely seem the most tame compared in the since there's this puritanicalness I haven't seen in my generation or in Gen X it's fascinating.

I kinda understand maybe her intentions but within the situation chasing you down multiple times isn't the right way to go about it would have been best to let you be and calm down cause she's just adding fuel to the fire and frightening you there's definitely better things she could have done. I'm so sorry it was a hard first day.

And I'm feeling fine I've had an odd obsession with cashews lately I've bought four containers of cashews this month and one of them was a pound so far this month and they're all gone it's all I want to eat. I have this thing where I will just eat the same food over and over if no one stops me. And you're so cute! Oh my gosh. Thank you! I've actually been having a fashion crisis just where I have clothes that don't match. I turned one top into two tops. It was a long sleeve top with big sleeves so I was able to get two tops out of it but I don't have skirts the right color or the prints are too busy. But I'm so picky that I can't find exactly what I want till Loey Lane, a YouTuber posted an outfit and I looked up the store and I finally found clothes I love in my size. There's one skirt I love it's sequin but its a micro mini skirt and I love it but there's a front slit and I just know it'll be too short I only have one micro mini skirt and it's just long enough to be decent. Can't bend over but it's decent. But I want the sequiny one. But.

I love short skirts but I just know it's too short but it's so pretty. I'll think about it. But this is what I already decided one.

Kinda obsessed with wearing bikini tops as regular tops it's so cute and I just needed a little cardigan cause all I have is velour zip hoodies. And I just need a plain skirt and I like getting longer skirts cause I can hike it up shorter to a length I like.

[sparring-spirals]

i just wanted to let you know how much i love your meta on this campaign, especially on imogen!! (my beloved) i’ve been seeing some negative takes on her lately, same old stuff with people ‘calling out’ how invasive and rude it is for to continue to use her telepathy on npcs without their consent and other nitpicky things? (to me there’s a weird line to draw since it’s quite literally one of the main ‘features’ that imogen has and if laura didn’t utilize it it’d be a bit of a waste imo but anyways-) imogen in general is just such a cool character to get into and analyze and your takes on her are always 👌✨✨

i appreciate that! thanks :)

i will say though, that for that particular telepathy take, i don't really disagree that there's an... maybe not invasive, but like. non innocuous nature to it? I do think that the way Imogen deals with psychic communication and voices in her head and like. Her entire concept of mental privacy is probably pretty informed as a result of. The Events Of Her Life. That said- she seems very aware of the unease and fear it can strike up in people, and, she uses it very effectively for intimidation effect and gaining the upper hand in certain interactions. That awareness- and willingness to use it- I think shines a light on a really interesting and integral aspect of her characterization. Slightly terrifying (affectionate).

I think on a more general note though, about people doing "callouts" or etc and the phrasing of like. rude, or, lbr moral judgements of her character overall. i. okay. i'll say first that I think sometimes people just don't. vibe with, or like certain characters and thats fine. (and good! I think its a good sign when there are characters with traits not universally positive that still feel very human and understandable and sympathetic). I also agree that it can also be frustrating to feel like someone is doing an. uncharitable, or erroneous read of a character you like due to pre-existing distaste. I've made my life easier by thinking of it as the other side of the coin where folks favouring a particular character bleeds into their assessments and assumptions about things.

But if its really weighing on you, blocking is always an option, and doesn't hurt anyone! Curating your own fandom experience is good- i think its valuable to see posts and follow people who don't always agree with you, but you're not under a moral obligation to keep seeing the posts of people who just have different (fandom) opinions and are actually upsetting you.

But yes. I do love analyzing Imogen- I love approaching all characters from the lens of trying to understand why they do whatever they do, and Imogen tends to land in a sweet spot for me where my indulgent expectations for her behaviour tend to pan out surprisingly often, and what she does feels right for where she's at. Even if I don't agree with it, even if its not a "good" thing (by whatever subjective measure). Its very satisfying! She's a complex character for sure. Its very fun.

hellooo fellow lawlu shipper ^^)/

may I request a genshin matchup please? I'm panromantic ace, so I'm okay with any adult character ^^. my pronouns are they/them, I'm infp, an introvert, and an artist.

hobbies: watching TV/ anime, playing games (especially open world/ games with good graphics), reading fanfics or just anything really, listening to music (all genres are good but my fave is jazz), drawing.

I think I'm a pretty chill person (or at least good at being polite to everyone haha) so I get along with most people. I like learning new things (like languages, new subjects like psychology, etc).

thanks for creating this event! 💖

Hii! Thank you for participating in this event! you're so sweet <333

And are you perhaps another lawlu shipper ?! >:00000 Its really rare to see one of those right now actually ;;

lets see what we have here!

Ah and dont forget to check the runner ups, i have multiple thoughts on this one :D

#GENSHIN IMPACT MATCHUP

i match you up with....

ALBEDO

credit: IKAROUX

I think out of all characters, albedo matches your energy quite well. He likes to be alone most of the time, but doesn't despise chatting too.

I could imagine how much he would appreciate you after creating a strong bond with you. Since they're isn't that much people that enjoys being around him too long. And maybe also because he doesn't wish to hurt anyone so he pushes them away from him.

I can see that it would happen to you too at first, as you two started to talk more and get to know each other better, he would push you away and try to avoid you, assuming that its for the best. But you probably wouldn't feel nice about that and will try to convince him through that thought. After Albedo finally feels at ease about that certain feeling then it wouldn't be a problem.

Having a relationship with Albedo would be comfortable but not less amusing. He is an alchemist after all, he does a lot of experiments and he's always eager for you to join him in assisting. Maybe the two of you would even travel around teyvat to get some resources. Walking around different places, talking to him and laugh around tiny things that caught your amusement , or maybe just lying down in the field and look at flowers that somehow seems new to you in every place.

Love isn't in Albedo's best area, so he really doesn't know what to say and what to do to express his love to you. And so i assume his love language would be Acts of Service or Gift giving. Though he doesn't know what to say or do, he would try his best to learn about it. He would also gift you some of his experiment results to you, things that he thought you might like or enjoy.

" Ah, it has been quite late.. Do you mind staying over for dinner?"

RUNNER UPS!

Kamisato Ayato

One, cause i think that his mischievous side of him would be very interesting to see while having a relationship with you. He is calm and loyal but also cunning which i think would be quite cute when he hangs out with you. Imagine a date , watching movies as an example, and he purposely pick a horror movie to see your reaction to it.

Kuki Shinobu

I feel like you're exactly Kuki's ideal partner, not too hard for her to get along or talk to and not too annoying like Itto. You could say after feeling so pressured all the time, she finally finds someone that she feels comfortable around and doesn't need to act tough.

ANNDDD THATS THE END! thank you for reading till this far! i hope you enjoyed <33 likes and reblogs are appreciated!

Old Art Archive Part 1.

I want to keep this old art on this blog but not retag all the original posts, so going to do what I did for my sideblogs and delete the original posts but reupload them in batches with no tags except an archive tag. This also allows me to (even if I don't have the spoons right now, to add image descriptions to these at a later date).

Original captions under the cut.

I have like over 150 ocs that need refs/redesigns [and many in that 150 that whose design is only in my head] but I only seem to be able to make new characters right now so have this kitty! I have been thinking about tv heads alot lately but also really like kitty robots so kitty Tv Head, [They are also based a bit on a heart rate monitor, they might end up being like a walking heart monitor nurse in a hospital or something, I have alot of medical bots because I think thats cool.]

Felt like trying to give this girl digital colours and starting to figure out how this girl will be personality wise. Likely will have this girl be a graphic designer or an artist in some other regard.

The main form in the center is his preferred form, he is a from a shapeshifting species called Nederians/Nederans [not sure about that] and he is part of a group of Nederians/Nederans that theme themselves after sweets/sweet stuff.

Another guy in the same Group as Mallow [The marshmallow guy I posted earlier]. To clear possible confusion shes a guy. [Lesbians and other w|w using He/Him pronouns and Gay men and other m|m using She/Her pronouns is something that has been part of lgbt culture for quite a while!]

Just your local tired catdude [Been wanting a new icon for a while so here it is].

Vanilla + Strawberry icecream themed guy, Of course another one of the sugar group [want to come up with a better name but not sure what yet].

Orange Flavoured Soda themed guy. They are also a very bubbly dude [Yes literally as well]. I have like 3 more members of the sugar group [still need a better name] to draw some concepts for.

This guy was designed at a completely different time and originally was not meant to be part of the same group [sugar group] but decided to have them be a part of it. Instead on being based on a real food or sweet thing, they are based on a in universe food called Starbites  [Either Gum or Lollipops, haven't decided yet, that have starbust in them and are very fizzy]

I am not 100% on its colours [as well their design as a whole] but I just wanted to try to start to figure out how their design may work. It is meant to be different flavours of Gummy bears melted together.

She is meant to be based on chocolate as a whole [white, milk and dark] but She could also work as a Red Velvet or Dark Forest themed character maybe?

She is meant to be based on chocolate as a whole [white, milk and dark] but She could also work as a Red Velvet or Dark Forest themed character maybe?

Make make them into an oc, though might change their colours as its pretty monotone right now. Just a little gif and test how long it takes to make a simple piece like this with a very simple character design. 45 minutes this is based on a random game note I found on my 3DS.

Decided to change the expression and shade the main pic in her concept sheet because it did take me quite a bit to get it done [started it days ago but went into a very bleh feeling phrase again physically]. Im fairly certain Pup counts as a Sparklewolf? Might redesign their tail and add some more colourful markings idk. Love the way her colours look, its like a sunset [and dawn I think]. If the little faces on the side are confusing [I really cant tell if I properly bring the point across with just the drawings]: Top one is Pups being confused/not understanding something Middle is her not being about to concentrate and think as their are too many sources of noise [ I often have this issue ] Her fidgeting with a pop-it, its a really cool thing and has made going out for groceries something a bit less stressful.

Based on a white [and green and yellow greenish] pumpkins. I very much want to make more of these guys. Yeah I dont have much else to say, uh, I like her markings alot. My brain is veery tired so not many words.

Bunny Tv Head! With antenna ears as I just think making animal ears with tv antennas is cool. The magic electricity legs are also very bouncy [so they are also like springs].  My brain is still very tired so dont have anything of substance to say.

So Xe is a Ghost pony but Xe is also part fire? Idk might add more to this "species" if I can think of anything else. I really like xem colours. Adopted from and was originally by ItzAnnaDraws03 [on deviantart]

Very slight redesign [and first digital] concept for them.  Changed her a bit, because despite the fact I think its important to have gnc characters [including gnc transfem characters], there is also important to have well not gnc trans characters. [I dont know if I'm making sense, I guess what I'm saying yes transfem characters liking/being okay with /wanting facial hair is good but the opposite is also important and good]. Love the colours of their outfit, also I really like giving character dangly earrings.

[paperbagsandwich]

omgosh thats more than fair!!

!! Gotta love a couple of dorks, i know i do also awww bless thats so sweet and cute!! Please tell me about them (if you want to of course!!)

Im glad you think so!! It really shows in cartoon redesigns ive done and a few cute lil creatures (strawberry shortcake, moon dreamers, carebears, a love bug and some other stuff)

same!! My fav ghibli film is kiki's delivery service. If i were to rank my top 5 it would be kiki, arriety, howl, nausicaä and ponyo. Do you have any fav games? Mine are stardew valley, skyrim and sonic adventure 2.

it really is!! Thinking of a character for ages and finally managing to draw them how you imagine them is such an amazing feeling!! I make a bunch of random designs as well and just putting together the inspiration and the aesthetics of the character to make something new ane beautiful is just so fun!!

Thats so cool and awsome im so happy you managed to do it !! I love campaign stuff (ive played 4 campaigns of dnd with different characters and I've been so happy with each of them!!)

id happily ramble about any of my oc ideas if youd like!! If there's any in particular that you want to hear more about please tell me!

also please don't worry about replying late! I don't mind, take as much time as you need! You, your life and your mental health come first!!!

Well, the main constant thing about them is that Ros is mostly an anime nerd and she's been trying to get Darnell into too but alas...

Ros loves trying new things while Darnell is kinda complacent with things being the same but is also down to support her just to keep her happy. He doesn't want to drag her down and he loves seeing her excited for something.

I don't really have a whole about there son, but he's a very sweet 3 year old that loves to help like a big boy.

He also has a bit of a raspy voice despite being a toddler, but he's perfectly fine.

Yeah, I can definitely see that!!!

OOOH, I don't think I've ever heard of Nausicaä before?? Maybe it's a film I've missed or I've must've heard of it by a different name?

I don't really play a whole lot of games but I do enjoy playing Animal Crossing and Miitopia. They're just so fun and simple.

And YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAAA, just finally having the set design that perfectly matches what you have in mind, I LOVE THAT FEELING!!!! And yes, I love putting together character by using different designs together. I have one that I'm very proud of but it's a character for the campaign and one of the players actually do follow this blog... but I'm pretty sure they'll know who when they see them... 😏

OOOH, I wanna hear more about the Werewolf and the baker, actually!! 😭😭

And also, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH, you're too sweet!!!! 😭🥺😭🥺

[four-bastard-bustle]

i actually feel pretty damn bad about the fact that i like. started this and then had the fixation shift so i just left everyone with the funny preview sketch and never posted about this concept even tho its like. personally? one of my favourite things ive ever written (I might retool it for something original in some way. i sure would like to try)

TL;DR, i made some nuclear waste level toxic yaoi with kinger n caine

so this is gonna start with some complaining BUT lemme preface this by saying that i hold no ill will or contempt towards royalteeth shippers. the ship is perfectly fine and valid, and nobody is doing anything "wrong" by making these two guys kiss and be sweet.

that being said, all the royalteeth fanart ive seen has annoyed the shit out of me because its just two guys being tooth rottingly sweet in a very vanilla milquetoast way. (AGAIN IF THIS MAKES YOU HAPPY THEN THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE AND VALID, YOU DO NOT NEED TO STOP DRAWING OR WRITING THAT, I AM NOT ATTACKING YOU, I JUST DONT LIKE IT PERSONALLY AND THATS JUST AN OPINION. BUT PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DON'T FEEL LIKE I AM ATTACKING YOU FOR YOUR SHIP OR SOMETHING) but also, of course, i kept seeing the ship everywhere and that made me kinda start thinking about it. if and how it could actually work if it was more than just. guys being sweet together

and then i got really into it because i started thinking about the power imbalance. nobody wants to acknowledge the power imbalance except for MAYBE the gamemaster kinger AU but that also squarely stays within the tooth rotting sweetness. again! Valid! just not what i crave when it comes to fiction

but analysing it more, Caine could very well be classified as the god of this digital world, AND YET he is programmed to do anything to provide to the people within the circus, while simultaneously never knowing whatr they truly need, and not understanding their requests whatsoever. a submissive god that provides mainly misery. that actually has the potential to be SO GOOD in a ship

so I started thinking about a potential setting in which kinger (as per my headcanon already) neglects queenie so much she ends up abstracting, and then, in his grief and need for love & comfort, commands, BEGS caine to be there for him. to take care of him, and to ensure that kinger will not get an "easy exit" from the circus via abstraction, because he feels he doesn't deserve to lose himself that way. he paradoxically thinks that would be too nice an end for him

sooo, caine obliges as he is programmed to. he doesn't feel any love, but he knows his obligation to be with kinger forever, and to keep him conscious within the circus no matter what

and that's the toxic yaoi babey <3

soooo, with all that being said. here's all the sketches my brain produced with the concept, most of them stuck in eternal WIP mode

given kinger's whole bug thing, my mind immediately went to the bug kept in a jar. eternally at the mercy of a giant being. this ended up being the first sketch i fully fleshed out and then used as an icon for a ship playlist because i have a crippling addiction to making character, ship, and media playlists

going a bit further with this concept i wanted to recreate that comic that went around on tumblr briefly where the little fairy lives in a jar and shows you around and at the end she goes "#mystick :D". i cannot find this comic ANYWHERE anymore but i swear it existed and it would have fit the vibe here

while we're at the sillier stuff, some of the more lighthearted sketches of this concept

they've just both got such good bug eyed stares

based on a song from my little ship playlist, yknow. one of them cant feel pain and can also float. this probably would've been a slightly more humorous pic anyways, mostly cause i already love this pre-sketch dearly

this sketch was gonna play a bit with symbolism. something something devouring love and caine being a giant set of teeth. but i feel like if i just lined and coloured it like this, it wouldve turned out fumbling the line between serious yet weird symbolism and just looking funny. so this probably wouldve never been fully lined anyways

this one would've been more of a comic going over the course of years, with kinger going from "please stay with me for now" to "please don't ever leave me" over time. and caine of course just goes with it

another abstraction thing, inspired by the theory that kinger will abstract next. combined with this concept where caine keeps him around no matter what. and also yknow. eating eyes looks nice n fucked up

aaaand finally this pic that i was in the middle of working on when my fixation shift happened. yknow. replacement wife stuff

im making some fucking DIABOLICAL art rn, very excited to share it soon. but since im about to go out you get this as a preview for now

They drew you! Pt.1

Characters: Klee, Diona and gn! reader

Fluff and maybe slight angst

———————————————————————————

Sorry for disappearance! And sorry for grammar errors! -Rey

———————————————————————————

Klee

You (as a really kind soul) helping Jean, Albedo and Kaeya with babysitting Spark Knight.

You can understand that Jean is really busy and Albedo also busy, but for Kaeya you have some thoughts. Diluc once told you, that insted of sitting with Klee he was in Tavern.

Today was a busy day today, you helped Sara with meal delivery and you helped Noell with few heavy things. And the last thing you need to do is - take Klee from Albedos Dragon spine “office” back to Mondstadt.

You actually did that. You managed to get up on cold and dangerous mountain where Albedo set up his camp, how many times you asked why they dont fix this wooden bridge. And finally you found Klee and her Brother Albedo! What a relief.

- Yes!! Y\N you did it! Klee and brother Albedo started getting worried about you! I thought that you where fighting with Big Ice Monster!!

- Big Ice Monster?

-Khm, unluckily yes, I spotted Lawachurl on the way to my base but luckily for you he went different way after short time. - said Albedo

- Oh, Klee also want to give you a present, right Klee?

- Ah Yes! Hehehehee, here! Drawing of you Y/N! Brother Albedo helped me with your hair and eyes, cause Klee dont remember how they looked.

Helped with haird and eyes, so thats why he stared at you for few minutes.

Klee gave you a drawing. There was you, Klee, Albedo and who’s that? Oh thats Kaeya. You where holding hands with Albedo and Klee while Kaeya was holding Klees hand and in other hand he holding … a sword or a bottle…. Lets think that its a sword. Oh, and she havent forgot her best friend, Dodoko! And there is a big red heart above everyone. And when you looked on the other side of drawing there was a massage for you:

“Y/N! Thank you for playing with me and saving from Master Jean! You are the great hero for Klee, Klee is hoping that you will have more time with Klee because loves you!”

Oh wow, thats really sweet of her, you can stop smiling! You carefully put drawing inside your bag and hugged her!

- Awh, Klee that so sweet of you. And surely i can spent more time with you!

———————————————————————————

Diona

You become really close friends with Diona. You 4 time a week visiting her in Cats Tail.

When you too met each other for the first time and you havent ordered an alcoholic drink but instead you ordered milkshake/juice/nonalcoholic coctail, that surprised her!

One time you walked her home after your and hers work. That was late night and rainy. You already falling asleep at your big,comfy bed with warm blanket you heard knock at your door. You sleepy went to open the door

-Uhh, whos there?

- Can you let me in? Its cold outside..

Wait what? Diona ? Ofc you opened door to her

- D-diona what are you-

- Hes drunk again! I can’t believe it!! - she angrily said and went to your house

-I need to destroy wine industry!! And why my dad not listening to me!? - her ears when down and her eyes become teary

- I just want to end this…

Thats it, can you adopt this kid please? Okay, think Y/N what can you do to make her happy? You dont have much to do, maybe drawing competition?

- Hey, wanna have a drawing competition? You can draw whatever you want and whos drawing going to be best wins!

-I- uh, you better be ready! Cause im already wining!! Hehe

And competition started. You noticed that she sometimes looks at you but you dont really care cause you trying to draw a horse. You never thought that horse are so hard to draw.

-Im done! Your not? Faster im curious!!

- hey, wait a little bit! I have only few things to end with!

- nope, its late already i have work tomorrow!!

- uh, okay okay.

You set against her and you both showed drawings at the same. You where pretty confident about your drawing but-

- Is that me?? WOW Diona, i never thought you can draw like that! Thats amazing!! - You took her drawing and slight blush appeared at your face. - I’ll save it

- What!? Thats just a drawing nothing special about it!! But thanks. - and she was blushing with small smile on her face

You knew that actually meant “Really thanks! I really appreciate it!! I tried hard!”

- And your horse is pretty good.

- hey! More emotions, I tried hard!

- pft haha

After few more conversations you both fall asleep. That was a nice evening.

7 Anti LO Asks

1. Do you know what really gets my blood boiling about this comic? Persephone and Demeter's relationship.

In the myths, Demeter and Persephone loved each other more than anything. Their reunion is so important - it marked the coming of spring and growth. A whole cult was dedicated to this for crying out loud. Yes, the myths were far from perfect, but the Persephone and Demeter myth showed the strength of a loving mother-daughter relationship with Demeter searching endlessly to find her child that was ripped away and had her innocence forcibly taken.

Now, RS is not the only author to make Demeter this over-bearing mother type in order to put more positivity onto the Hades-Persephone relationship. However, RS takes this trend to a whole new level - to the point where I would even consider it misogyny.

How is it, she takes this beautiful mother-daughter relationship and makes it out to be an abusive and controlling one, and then takes the Hades-Persephone relationship from a forceful one to a loving, perfect relationship with no problems? How is it ok to ruin one relationship to elevate another?

I understand that many versions of the myth try to downplay Hades' actions, and even make it so Persephone actually falls in love with him and there is no rape. But it doesn't change that this relationship was problematic, and meant to represent the loss of innocence.

Then fans have the gall to claim this comic is feminist and then claim on top of that that Demeter and Persephone's relationship was the same in the myth? These fans clearly don't know the myths, and neither does RS.

Making Hades a good person is fine. Changing it up a bit to make Persephone's loss of innocence something else is also fine. But ruining Demeter and Persephone's relationship? Especially when Persephone has to spend half the year with her? So horrible. 

2. im sorry, but rachel cant introduce KRONOS coming back and then dropping it for several episodes to focus on a stake-less trail and persephone not knowing what lingerie to seduce hades in. like thats too much of an earth shaking development and huge stake plot point to just ignore for months to focus instead on something as minor as hxp's relationship, which only points out a huge flaw: why is hxp's relationship so minor in this? isnt the whole point supposed to be about them?

3. I think LO completely dropped the ball over Hades’ characterization. 

From the first ep I thought ok, this is good, we have some bones to see he’s not that lucky in love and is just tired and lonely, and while ignoring the creepy actions towards Persephone, I thought ok, Artemis hates him, Hestia hates, even Ares hates him, maybe once Persephone finally sees the underworld and probably gets to know him it’ll be a clever twist and they’ll be proven wrong. The underworld will turn out to be fair and just, the citizens will love Hades, he’ll be revealed to be a good leader and king and not like his brothers, it’ll be like everyone saying Hades of myth isn’t actually that bad, and it’ll help reinforce why this sweet and bubbly Persephone wants him, she sees the real him, not the mean rumors and assumptions, this is perfect.

And then it just didn’t happen. The exact opposite happened, actually.

We’re shown the LO underworld is cruel and unjust, where the poor dead are forced into slavery and Hades created a harsh class divide with him and him only on top, the citizens hate him, the underworld gods don’t trust him and openly seem ok if he’s taken out of power, he’s not a good leader and king and doesn’t even want the job yet keeps it for his own ego and grip of power m, and on top of it all he is just like his brothers, if not worse. He loves to get violent over any little slight against him, he hoards wealth and resources to enrich himself while his citizens starve and struggle to survive, he’s corrupt, he controls all the media and laws to bend to his will, sleeps with his brothers wife for centuries behind his back while claiming to be holier than thou, he has sex with his secretaries who are made dependent on him for any way to survive, and now he lusts after his barely legal intern who is also now dependent on him for her way to survive, and that’s only what I remember off the top of my head.

LO perfectly set up to prove Hades isn’t the devil or the false pop culture assumption that he’s evil and to show some actual facts from myth, and yet Rachel only ended up reinforcing exactly that and even making him even worse with her made up ideas, all while thinking having Persephone ignore or excuse it somehow makes it not bad or even a good thing. It’s honestly kind of impressive just how bad of writing that actually is. 

4. Chapter 172 is not that interesting. It’s setup had me excited to see Hephaestus and Hera and learning more about echo, but it’s cut so short. Because again the story can’t leave HXP out for 2 seconds.

I can also see why Zeus is gonna go insane. 

5. i agree w/ other anon. LO should have pulled a PJO or a BoZ and just made up OCs and have them interact with the gods than whatever Rachel thinks shes doing, which is lying she's being accurate and faithful while completely changing all of it, removing what is needed, and adding what isnt so that it lines up with no actual myth besides like, various 50 shades fanfic she read in 2015 and some popular tumblr text posts.

6 . the animation studio behind blood of zeus literally can only draw one face for the men and one face for the women and they were still able to make the gods all look distinct and hot while LO can't even bother to use more than 6 colors and can only have the women look as tiny as possible with the biggest boobs while the men are all just lego men.

7. ////FP SPOILERS////

Okay so like I stopped reading LO way back before season 1 ended, and a majority of my knowledge of the series comes from what I read here on your blog which is enough for me lol and I decided to read the latest 5 chapters just to see what's up (on zahard. I refuse to give the actual series any views)

And I just. Could not take the whole scene with Daphne running from Apollo seriously? The anatomy and art inconsistency was so distracting that i genuinely could not find it serious. Even when Thanatos discovers her hibernated body I couldn't take it seriously because of how she looked?

And when Hades had that call (??? Was it a call? Or his inner dialogue? I couldn't really tell ngl) with Zeus and said he's causing Persephone unnecessary distress, and that she didn't pose any threat. B!tch??? She killed a ton of mortals??? She has no control over her powers???? She's literally a fugitive for the aforementioned things??? She apparently woke Kronos up? (Idk if anyone knows about that, again my knowledge only spans to whatever I read here) Hello????

And I have a lot to say about the chapters starting the trial but I'll only mention one thing; Hades saying "I don't think blindly supporting my little brother would be doing him any favours (as a ruler)" had me cackling. This is coming from a guy blindly supporting a girl he's literally only known for a few weeks, who's like what, only recently turned 20? Sit tf down Hades you're not cool, you creepy ass overgrown smurf.

Overall I still hate this series lmao. Regarding art though I feel like I wouldn't be so miffed about the anatomy much if the character designs were consistent and the story was compelling. They literally change hairstyles and body types frame by frame, and it's distracting.

The timeline from what I read here is laughable. 4 years in publication with almost 200 chapters and you're telling me only like a month has passed canonically. That's wild and such poor writing.

And as someone who literally will sympathise with any lead character pretty quickly, the story makes me hate them. It makes me want to root against them. I also hate the fact this trash is somehow top ranked on webtoons when so many other stories are far better then it.

Anyway, many thanks to this blog for existing and allowing me to dump so much text here to vent out my hate for this series lmao. You the mvp fam, hope you're having a good day 🥂🥂🥂

[preggomancer]

Hey dude, I just want to say that I love your art, and I really, REALLY appreciate your inclusion of Tulip into your selection of characters. Like not only is she really pretty and super lovable, but she's a designated, explicitly trans woman, which is, at least in my experience pretty rare. I've followed the preg kink art "Scene" if you want to call it that for a while and you are one of 3... maybe 4 artists I know with transfemme characters, out of like a few dozen.

It's prooobably a weird thing to care about at all, but it's nice to see myself represented in this kink circle. Trans men, cis women, and even cis men get all kinds of great preg kink art and it's awesome, but I feel like trans women just don't get much time in the spotlight here and so it means a lot when it comes up.

Tulip kind of itches a small but important scratch, for me at least, because she shows that pregnant trans women are a thing people think about and want as part of the sphere of this stuff and that's just nice to see.

Anyway I'm starting to ramble. You're awesome, Tulip is sweet, and I'm happy you're back to share your work!

Oh also unrelated but Mel is HOOOOOOT and if they were my T.A. I'd have perfect attendance and a rotten grade.

AGH THATS SO NICE TO HEAR

Truly, that’s not weird at all and I’d honestly like to see more people thinking like that. It’s odd how many people act like  as soon as you enter kink you can just stop thinking about morality and respectful representation… Plus, for me the art on this blog is like 50% about the kink and 50% about indulging in just drawing a bunch of trans people being happy and loving themselves because I’m trans and I want to be happy and love myself, dammit!! Im excited to draw more Tulip when I have a bit of time!

[wickedpact]

Crim pls do a J/N fic rec post at some point in the future I trust you more than I trust myself looking rouge through AO3

im kinda eh abt the concept of fic recs myself just bc the whole 'Different Strokes For Different Folks' thing (idk how many times someone i liked in a fandom made a fic rec list and i ended up not liking anything they posted). plus i have weirdly specific tastes and i.. .. honestly havent read a ton of joenicky fic! (i have a FAT to-read list) but ive been asked this a couple times now so i will slap together a couple joenicky fics i like (not comprehensive, i only spent like 15 minutes making this. also not in any particular order.)

Kiss Each Other Clean by moodlighting

i like this whole fic, but the last 6 or so paragraphs in particular SEND ME TO SPACE, i love cuddling. also [joe voice] nickel neekee

what you seek is seeking you by bankrobbery

i actually recced this one once before. idk its cute i just Like It. (also nicky pretending not to know english bc a customer is pissing him off is Very Funny and i love it)

with every inch of my heart by smilebackwards

i like this one a lot, i think nickys pov should Always be this tender. i dont like miscommunication trope much, (esp with joenicky) but i do like this fic-- the miscommunication in question is far-fetched but its joenicky so of course it is. just enjoy the Angst™

i love michelangelo seeing nicky all dirty and bloody after a fight and being like 'DAMN this bitch is fine' (same). (AND the fact that nicky only agrees to travel with him in the name of wasting the pope's money lmao). the fact that joe and nicky broke up But They Still Snuggle. nile knowing like 2 things about joe and nicky's breakup & pretty much immediately taking nicky's side. joe looking at the creation of adam and bein like 'EH'.

nicky carrying around his little joe drawing? nicky carrying around a spare toothbrush for booker? nicky telling little children stories about a princess locked in a coffin under the sea? ('perhaps someday, if an iron coffin is caught in a net or washed up onto the shore, they’ll remember the princess, a victim and not a monster' EXCUSE ME)

(also 'I have drawn you a thousand times since we parted. I sculpted your likeness, just so that I could pretend to cup your cheek. You are so much warmer than marble, hayati.' R O M A N C E)

Pas Un Ange by inlovewithnight

there are a lot of fics i love in a way thats like 'this fic is fun but it doesnt feel like something that would happen in the Actual Canon' (which is fine!) but this one Does feel like it could happen in The Actual Canon which is cool

this fic also has probably my favorite depiction of nicky's relationship with god/religion in any fic ive read ('[nicky's] peace had come only after walking away from faith as a competition of intensity in favor of faith as a steady compass that he followed like the beat of his heart in his chest.'). i love the whole Drama played out by the background characters and how they all have their own ideas and motivations & nicky is just kind of resigned to being caught in the middle of it.

(also love how near the beginning joe's like 'the Right thing to do in the situation would be stay at this river and help these people.... ... ....... ... .... ... anyways see ya guys later gotta go find nicky'.)

also joe chatting up a pig and the five minutes later chatting up some goats was so cute. & nicky trying to tell the baby's mother how to save it!!!! </3 AND THEY ARGUE ABOUT CHARITY on the way home (not before joe injects a comment abt nickys ass into regular conversation bc Romance™) its a bit of a sad fic tho, that poor baby 🥺

Intercession by PrincessDesire

can i interest you in some Swamp Man Nicky in this trying time?

someone recced this fic to me and i dont remember who. but note that the major character death tag is not, in fact, for a major character but for a background one. neither joe or nicky perma!die in this. also normally i dont like fics where joe or nicky are bi bc Thats Not Canon Babey but i do like this one, i love joe's relationship with Grace and how nicky's perception of that relationship gets flipped on its head halfway thru the fic. i also love joe's Weariness Of Immortality, like when joe talks about how 'youthful' nicky makes him feel. his pov just kind of Feels like an old man and i like it

theres a smut scene in this fic which im personally not big on smut scenes but theres this bit where joe tries to figure out condoms and its very cute. also 'You have many kinds of magic, Nicky. All your spells have worked.' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

also i just like how WHIPPED joe is from like the first 3 seconds he sees nicky. theres one bit where nicky's like 'ill come visit you!' and joe's like 'when🥺' and nicky's like 'as soon as you like!' and joes like 'now?????🥺🥺🥺 literally come home with me???' incredible.

also the Magic System was cool. i also love how nicky just Accidentally made himself immortal. what a man. also i like this line 'it would never occur to [nicky] to attend any service that wasn’t going to have a direct outcome. Grace takes comfort from it, so maybe that’s the only outcome needed.' idk its so sweet

edit: also i cant believe i forgot the iconic line 'Yusuf is a man of two minds, one large and underutilized, the other small and underutilized.' absolutely iconic & relatable
