MC and the Swapfell Brothers

Ayo, someone by the name of Curly-B-Blog is redlining art of yours from 2020 (while pretending that it's actually Sai Scribble's work), and kind of being a dick about it. just thought you should know.

You know, originally I was just gonna brush it off, but then I went back to look at my old SU art from 2020 and did so much self reflection from then till now.

I think this was around the time I was just learning how to do perspective and tried to use the perspective tool on Procreate for the first time? :0 and I remember telling Sai “Sai I have this STUPID idea, I CANT believe it this stupid joke it’s so DUMBBBB, it’s living rent free in my BRAIN I SWEAR THIS IS GONNA BE SO STUPID DCIUWHEFIUWHIRFUIW4F” and being super excited to show her the finished product. People still think Sai created the Cursed Skin Gloves comic and I think it’s hilarious wjhwnuhwijwuiw

The comic was received very well and it made LOTS of people laugh and I’m still proud of this comic to this very day! :D and tbh if it wasn’t for my obsession for Sai’s Switcheroo AU I never would have found my passion in comic work! (love you you stinky hoe @saiscribbles 🩷)

HOWEVER…. I definitely still had lots to learn! I wasn’t very good at perspective at the time I’ll admit, but I was definitely having lots of fun learning :3

And throughout the past 4 years, ALOT has happened.

I graduated from college with TWO fancy pieces of expensive papers in Visual Development in Animation and Illustration learning from Will Kim and Jeff Soto, and as a I was working with the funny voice man Cougar MacDowall as a comic/story artist and reached in total around 7 million views for my fan series FNAF Security Malware Breached (it was even #21 on the trending list around the time of my birthday 🩷 what a lovely gift), had an insane opportunity to work with Mike Geno and with the voice cast from The Amazing Digital Circus for a fan song as a background and character asset artist, Vivienne Medrano liking and sharing my silly Overlord Husk AU comics, currently on my route to getting my certificate from Aaron Blaise’s Character design program and graduating from Marc Brunet Art School, and now I am completing my first year as professional colorist and art assistant for my storyboard and comic mentor Michelle Lam, aka Mewtripled! (Also I’ll be heading out to Lightbox Expo 2024 on October 26 with Michelle and the team so if y’all ever wanna meetup hahahajaj wink wink wink wink wink)

So you can say I learned ALOT and I enjoyed every minute of what I do :D I try to be humble about my accomplishments because blah blah being humble good yes yes but this time I wanna be selfish and say HELL YEAH I DID ALL THIS!!! AND IM SO EXTREMELY PROUD OF MYSELF FIUGEIURGERGGRS

Now here’s my most recent comic page that I posted like 2 days ago without the text.

That’s pretty freakin wild to me, I can’t believe I used to draw Steven Universe art like that back in 2020 LOL LIKE GUYS I DREW THIS!! WITH!!! MY HANDS!!! IS THAT NOT INSANE!!!???

Anyways moral of the story:

Learn from everyone and everything! Yes, even then mean ones too! If you can learn to work with anyone, I promise you’ll get to where you want to be faster. People can be a little mean on the internet, but that shouldn’t stop you from being where you want to be in the future. I’m so EXTREMELY grateful for all the opportunities and to all the kind professionals who were willing to give me a chance. Seriously, I’m so graciously thankful for everything, and I hope everyone here will support me and my silly little comics I will do now and in the future!

And one more thing:

Don’t be a jerk. Be to be nice to everyone :D nothing good comes out when you’re bad to everyone.

You’re Not Helping

Summary: Being funny at the wrong time.

Pairing: Miguel O’Hara and Co. x Spidervariant!Reader

A/N: PLATONIC READER!! You’re pretty much the life of the party <3. This is gonna be stupidly goofy because im in that mood LMFAO. This is veeeeeery low effort because it was a simple idea

——————

There had always been a dangerous flaw that seems to be unchecked. A problematic talent that will always leave your fellow colleagues in harms way with the commotion you’d cause with the insufferable antics you presented on the table. The thing that always happens during any mission, especially when things are quiet and dull. It was your way of keeping the energy and spirits high. What am I trying to say?

You are funny as FUCK.

You always had your way of making quips, like any other spider-being could, but something about your comedy always left people with hurting abs from the constant barrage of funny jokes you’d gunned them down with. It was a relentless attack, friendly fire if you will, because it always ended up with someone laughing too loud and compromising their position. As self-sabotaging as that may be, you wouldn’t do what you did if you couldn’t handle what came next.

Often times, you’ve received heavy critiques from the society’s leader, Miguel O’Hara, for putting people in danger because of your lack of professionalism. Jessica Drew would back him up, sometimes. However, she had never been happier when you joined, your jokes being a highlight of her day. You remembered when Jess and you were supposed to be doing a stakeout, scoping out for an anomaly. You had the villain’s file on hand and started to make the most ab shredding roasts that had Jess shed a tear.

“Lookin’ like a whole bottle of what the fuck.” You’d say.

Jess cuts you a lot of slack because of your high skill in the spider-arts. She takes great pleasure in being paired with you on missions because she always knew it was gonna be a successful and absolutely hilarious one.

You loved working with Jess too, because you yourself are a fan of her sense of humor. You hoped you’d be able to work with her more and more because of the amazing chemistry you two had.

Another person you love to hang out with was Peter B. You and him had busted each other’s guts before when you ate lunch together. Spoke about silly stories that had your food run cold from how engaged you two were. Which was absolutely crazy since Peter chows down given the chance.

Today is different. You were on a mission with Miguel. Before you both went to the dimension where the anomaly was located, he made it abundantly clear he didn’t want the jokes and quips today.

“This is a serious matter and I don’t want you to twist it around to be some joke.” He lectured.

You gave him a thumbs up and complied. However, like the snake you are, fingers had been crossed.

The two of you were in the middle of searching for the anomaly, staking out to be sure that nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Miguel had told Lyla to scan the area, in which she did. She wouldn’t come back till it was done, which was odd for her. It never takes her long to do scans with how technically advanced she is.

So now, you and Miguel are practically playing hide and seek to dig up anything about where the anomaly could be. This dimension was a strange one, it was filled with tunnels… Very echoey… Not good. You two were spilt up to cover more ground, but no luck.

“Damn.” You whined, arms crossed as you kicked a rock. “Where the fffu-. Bro oughta be a D1 camouflager. Where’s Lyla?”

“Dunno’. It doesn’t take Lyla this long to make a scan.” He grumbled with slight annoyance. “Gotta run another test…”

The two of you continued to look endlessly for the villain, but as expected, yet again, no luck. This was frustrating Miguel, everything he planned didn’t fall into line like it was supposed to and he hated that.

It was then that the two of you decided to regroup. Reunited, you took five and leaned against the wall.

“I’m getting the suspicion that the signal is messing with Lyla’s functions… How though…” Miguel muttered to himself trying to figure the dilemma out.

Then, in the silence, you blew a raspberry. The noise bounced off the walls.

This earned you a peeved look from Miguel.

“What?” You asked innocently, holding back a grin.

Miguel somehow managed to roll his eyes despite his mask being up, and turned away from you.

Your comedic side began to surface… This mission is just too stale.

“… Hey.” You spoke up, grabbing his attention with him slightly turning his head to you. “… Knock, knock.”

“Don’t.”

“C’mon… Knock knock…” You pressed. Miguel sighed.

“…. Who’s there.”

“To.”

“… To who.“

“No,” You snickered, “to whom.”

Miguel had the most disappointed head shake known to man when you were trying not to laugh. You gain composure, only by the slightest.

“Okay that was wack- Uh- Oo Oo- What do you-”

“No no- No more.” He said in a hushed yet loud tone.

“What do you call a spider with 10 eyes?” You asked blatantly.

“What-” He said annoyed.

“A spi-i-i-i-i-i-der.”

Okay, that was good.

Miguel sighed heavily… He sounds like he’s smiling, but you didn’t wanna believe it. “Alright alright.”

“One more one more.” You said quickly as you thought up another one. “What… Do you call two Mexicans that play basketball?”

Oh BROTHER.

“… WhAt…” Miguel had to look away.

“Juan on Juan.”

Miguel had to take a deeeeep breath with that one.

“… Okay.” There was a hint of laughter. “You done?”

“How does the moon cut his hair? Eclipse it!” You couldn’t help but laugh. Miguel snickered slightly…

“I… Stop stop we-“ He takes another deep breath, not wanting to laugh. “We need to focus and figure out-“

“Aye aye- I asked how much a roof cost… He said it was on the house-”

“(Y/N). Shut UP.” Miguel was trying to be serious but you were weakening his ability to keep composure, so he demanded with a slight laugh. “We can’t- We gotta mission and you’re-”

“Why was Mrs. Clause unsatisfied with Santa Clause? Because he only comes once a year.”

Miguel nearly lost it, he quietly shouted. “YOU’RE NOT HELPING.”

“ONE MORE… PROMISE….”

“Fine go go go.”

“How do you get a Mexican uncle’s attention?”

Miguel has a feeling he knows where this is going… “How?”

“Tapatio on the shoulder.”

Got him.

He nearly yelled before he covered his mouth. He gave you a playful punch on the arm and it caused the both of you to laugh together.

Hearing him laugh was something you’ve never thought you needed. He had the most goofy laugh you heard, he even snorted, which caused an echo in the tunnels.

“I can’t take you no where.” Miguel said as he was trying to calm down.

It was then Lyla FINALLY comes back with a scan. However, she was holding her oversized phone. She had recorded the whole exchange. You and Miguel looked at her with shocked faces.

“Saving that for memories.” Lyla said as she did just that.

“Lyla? Where have you been? What took you so long?” Miguel said with a clear smile on his face because he hasn’t winded down yet.

“It didn’t take me long to do the scan, I was just wanting to see if they could get you to crack.”

“… LYLA-“

“You got a cute snort too, like a lil piglet-“

“LY-“

“Also the guy is headed this way.” Lyla explained, pointing down the tunnel, causing the both of you to get yourselves together so you can take the anomaly down.

an extension of the goofy head cannons? yes.

[greeen-bean]

Day One:

First annotation I made was "AHHHH LETS FUKING GOOOO"... So

I always loved how they (Francis specifically) addresses the aftermath of the fire from solitaire because that was basically all I was thinking about, peoples work still being in there, having to change schools, etc, etc

Also love that it starts with Carys - She haunts the narrative so well <3<3<3

This book is sooooooo 2016 and I cant figure out if that a good or bad thing - its a time capsule

I cannot wait for Francis' world to crumble around her ahhhhhh she's so mentally ill bbg its okayyyy

I am going to come out and speak my truth! I do not know how to pronounce Francis' last name. When I first read the book the dyslexia kicked in and I read it as "Janiver" (Jan-i-ver) and when I finally realised I was wrong it had stuck

Under the "I felt fine because I was born for this" I wrote "Frowen?" and stand by it

I drew a heart around Daniels name the first time it was mentioned, just encase there was any confusion on who my favourite character is

LOVE Francis' mum!!! like the old people in IWBFT I love the parent mentions in this

Francis mentions people thinking she's Spanish for being mixed race and doing Spanish GCSE and I wrote "Bilingual/Bisexual queen" but I did/do not know how to spell bilingual so I wrote "Bilingwil" and again, I stand by it

Aled and Francis are SOULMATES your honour - the way she talks about the narrator having a soft voice that got her hooked on the show GOD they're in loovvvveeee

Francis is out to get Daniel!! Grabbing him, someone who is actively not her friend, so hard it hurts to then tease them with interesting information about you that seeming they would not care less about only to not even tell them when they ask, diabolical!! I love them

I am dan, dan is me (bar all the smart people shit) like he lives in my head and says my thought

ALEDDDDDDDD - I love love love how Aled in introduced in this book like ahhhh it sets him up so perfectly to then show who he really is (More on this in a different post)

the idea that everyone who knows Daniel knows of Aled because they are "inseparable" drives me crazy (in a good way) because it kinda probably unintentionally shows the differences of how they view their relationship (more in a separate post)

Francis: And you said yes [to saying the speech]? Aled: Yes F: Why? D: Because he's a turnip A: Yes ONE OF MY FAVE LINES YGIUIOKJBHVGCTDR^TUHJH

The seeds of Aled having to do things from some unknown pressure - its COOKING

Francis' mums switch up from being worried to telling Francis to do the universe city thing after finding out she wasn't going to do it, BAMF BEHAVIOUR

"I always wished I had a hobby" Girl what was that whole last chapter about then????

Have soooo many thoughts about Francis putting all her worth into her academic success specifically as someone who was not good at school, but again, separate post

the seeds of Francis becoming self aware whooooo

Oh the autism of it all (about being worried of being exceled socially from people you don't even like -but really all of it)

Francis says the gayest shit - just wait till she's talking about Carys

Loooovvveeeeeee Raine actually so much

AHHHHhh the perseption Francis has on Aled and Daniels relationship it !!!!! im !!!!!!! INSANE COO COO CRAZY INSANE

Did Francis know she was bi when she met Carys? Cuz if she didn't...babe i have news for you

"The sun silhouetted her like she was a heavenly apparition" Uhu.....uhu....sure

Okay right! Carys' vice it described (again, its very gay to take this much note of a persons voice, Francis) as "posh London Made in Chelsea accents" so then WHY does Aled have a Welsh accent in the Nick and Charlie audiobook?!?!!? WHERE DID IT COME FROM!??!?!?! (I know he's Welsh but he grew up in fucking Kent stfu)

Computer with a sad face mention whoooooo

Aled is soooooo messy for how he acts around Francis - not to victim blame but DUDE what were you expecting to happen

Dan being like "oh... Francis... I didn't know you were here..." after making eye contact with her is CRAZy - Francis is right what is his damage

Daniel/Francis beef will ALWAYS be famous to me

Again, Aled, I do fear this is actually all your fault

Vampire Captures Vampire Hunter to Use as Bloodbag part 3

Warnings: blood, vampire night club, kidnapping of human, intimate vampire whump/blood drinking and violence

"Be quiet, or I am coming back there to teach you a lesson myself and put that cocky ego of yours in its rightful place. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" He had no idea humans could be so obnoxiously noisy.

"Curse you, hideous bloodsucker," the human spat venomously, glaring defiantly from where he was awkwardly sprawled on the floor, unable to get back on the seat.

Alex finally lost his cool. He hated being disrespected, and especially by something so weak as a human? He wouldn't tolerate it. Best to nip the behavior in the bud. He got out of the driver's seat, stalking over and flinging the back door open to climb into the backseats where the hunter was, pulling him back up onto the cushions.

Alex loomed over him, gaze sharp and piercing as he stared down at the human. "Be silent, or I will make you be silent," he hissed, voice dropping low and dangerous. His gaze flicked to the human's neck, and he licked his lips hungrily.

The human bared his fang-less teeth at him in some foolish mockery of threatening. "Let. Me. Go."

The blatant disrespect got under Alex's skin more than anything else, and something in him finally... just... snapped. With an animalistic growl, he lunged on top of the human, pinning him flat on his back with his body weight as he grabbed his hair close to the scalp, wrenching his head sharply to the side.

"Hey--" The indignant protest turned into a panicked shout as the realization of what was about to happen hit the human, and he started struggling as hard as he could. "Whoa–Wait--wait--WAIT!" He shrieked in sudden terror.

"You should've thought of this before you went and ticked me off," Alex hissed into his ear. He needed to put the human in its proper place and let it know where it truly sat on the food chain.

Alex relished the raw fear and horror that overtook the hunter's face as he drew close, pressing down on top of him and leaning toward his exposed neck.

"Wait--I'm sorry! I'M SORRY! I swear I'll shut up!!" The human quickly began begging, despite his earlier attitude. Coward.

"It's much too late for that," Alex grinned viciously. Then, without further hesitation, he leaned down and roughly sank his fangs into the young man's soft throat, his canines sliding in deep. Warm blood instantly flooded his mouth, intoxicatingly sweet, the human's pulse beating erratically against his teeth. He could taste the adrenaline, the fear in the hunter's blood -- and it was addicting.

The agonized shriek right next to his ear was so delightful, and Alex clamped his jaws down harder just to hear it again, the man writhing against him uselessly, shoving at him with bound hands and pounding on his chest. It was about as futile an effort as hitting solid rock.

Alex drank deeply with a satisfied groan, his tongue exploring the edges of the puncture wounds widened by his fangs as he shifted his position slightly, tearing the holes in the human's neck just a little bit bigger. He could feel and hear the little creature's heart racing in terror under him, giving him a rush of heady pleasure, a proper predator and prey interaction.

"Stop! PLEASE!" The human cried, but his pleas fell on deaf ears -- Alex was too lost in the predatory drive, primal instincts driving him. He was hungry, and angry, and didn't care if the human suffered from his actions.

The vampire only had two goals: to sate his thirst, and to subdue and dominate the human. Show him who to cower from.

For the ask game, I'd like to request Draw Me with Genesis and whoever else you wish. 💜

(the drawing can be like one of those French girls, if you know what I mean ;3 But no pressure! 💜)

Thank you for the ask! This is the silliest thing ever, so i hope you enjoy it! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Why Lazard Installed a Lock on His Office Door

“Lazard! Look at this!” Genesis demanded, as he threw the office door open and strode in, like he owned the place.

“Come right in, Genesis,” Lazard said drily. “What can I do for you?”

Genesis slammed a sheet of paper down on the desk. “Look! Can you believe it?!”

“Uh. It looks like a piece of sketch paper.” Lazard adjusted his spectacles and picked it up, to inspect it. “Oh, did you draw this?”

“Ha. Ha ha!” Genesis collapsed theatrically into a chair, like a tragic heroine. “Nay, not I. These hands were not blessed by the goddess in the way of the pen.”

“It’s pretty good.”

“Pretty good? You have laid your unworthy mortal eyes upon true sublimity, and you say pretty good??” Genesis sneered, snatching the paper away again. “Pearls before swine!”

“Hey!” Lazard scowled.

“Ah—apologies, director,” Genesis corrected. “I didn’t mean to suggest that you are in any way swine-like.”

“…”

“I only meant that you’re a tasteless philistine, with no eye for artistic virtuosity.”

“There it is. Alright, so you found a drawing of yourself. Why are you in my office about it?”

“Because I need your permission to make copies and hang them up all over the building.”

“I see. Not the worst idea. Even if the artist doesn’t come forward, someone may recognize it, and lead you to them.”

“Hm? Oh! Yes, we could use it to find them! You are right. The person who created this is a world-shaking talent. They really should get some recognition.”

“World shaking?” Lazard said doubtfully. “I mean, it’s a good likeness of you and everything, but don’t you think it’s a little…idealized?”

“Of course it is! Do you not see?” Genesis intoned, shaking the paper at him. “True art is not to photographically reproduce reality, but to render the subject as beheld by the heart. This is a confession of love! Every pen stroke an act of worship!”

“So, you want to find the person who drew this, because you think they’re in love with you?”

Genesis ignored him and laid back in the chair, holding up the portrait to gaze at it, with a long, languorous sigh. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”

“It’s eleven-thirty AM.”

“I’ve changed my mind,” he said, abruptly sitting up again. “An artist who could translate such pure and tender longing to ink and paper, is clearly a gentle and diffident soul. Their talent must be allowed to bloom on its own, without rough hands disturbing the delicate petals, or they may close up forever. I will find them out discreetly, so as not to alarm them, with sudden exposure.”

“Alright, good. Now, what can I do to get you out of my office?” 

Just then there was a knock, and Sephiroth poked his head in. “Director? I was passing by, and I—oh you found my picture!”

Genesis stared at him, thunderstruck. “You…you drew this?”

“Yes. I misplaced it somewhere, but I assumed it’d been thrown away by now,” Sephiroth said sheepishly. “I’m a little embarrassed that you saw it, actually.”

“No, no! Don't be embarrassed! It’s beautiful,” Genesis said, his voice wavering with emotion.

Sephiroth looked even more awkward than usual, which was quite an accomplishment. “Thank you for saying so. It’s just a sketch, though. If only I could learn oil painting, I could do the subject justice. But I don’t have time for things like that.”

“When did you even find time to take up drawing?” Lazard asked.

“Oh, I haven’t. Dr. Barenbaum and I are just doing some art therapy. The assignment was to draw the most important person in my life.”

“Sephiroth, I…I don’t know what to say,” Genesis faltered, blushing like a rose. “I had no idea that you felt that way. I shall treasure this portrait forever.”

Sephiroth looked at him strangely. “Of course, you’re welcome to keep it, but why would you want a picture of my mother?”

Genesis choked. “Y—your mother?”

Lazard felt a headache coming on. “So, to recap, you just fell in love with a picture of yourself. And you drew a picture of your mother, that looks exactly like Genesis.”

“…”

“…”

“Alright, get out. Both of you,” he said, pointing to the door. “I can’t be expected to deal with this level of absurdity before lunch. And don’t come back until you’ve worked out your narcissism and mommy issues! Or at least your unresolved sexual tension!” 

Thanks again for the ask!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[saytr]

Just wanted to drop by and say I love your art! You probably get a lot of asks like this, but it truly is beautiful. Your grasp on anatomy is INSANE, and your art is really the only reason I do anatomy studies. I love how confident your lines are, how refined they are. You're an extreme inspiration to me and I really want you to know that.

Also, SIDE PROFILES (human side profiles specifically). YOU'RE SO GOOD AT THOSE ALCHLCHXHLCLLUVVI. I can barely make them look okay 😅

And even though you draw humans quite regularly, you still draw animals really well and the style is consistent.

I literally squeal over your art daily, you have no idea! I sound like a goat!

But really, I love your art, so never stop arting my friend! And if you ever do, I hope you had fun while doing so :)

What an ask, what a message! I Am honored!

First of all, i am touched and happy to know that i am an inspiration to you! And that my doodles got you interested in anatomy! It is a fun thing to draw some naked humans! Their skin and how light brings out all the musceles and how their skin bends! Such art in itself! I hope you find it as lovely as me! <3 AND have fun ofc!

Fun fact! I learned side profils by my grandpa, he was an amazing artist! He even touched the first versions of Photoshop! He tried at least to teach me the rest, but i got a short attention span when i was younger, so he just gave me his Apple Macbook and let me draw some dinos! XD And sims, i played a lot of sims on his Mac. Side profils are actually really easy, once you have a system, i may do some "How i draw XXXX" if people are interested! ;3 I drew at first only animals, dragons... But most i drew dinosaurs! Humans came WAAAY later, tried to draw humans when i was younger as well, but a family member made fun of those and i stuck with animals! HA! Till i met the actor Sebastian Roche at my city Con, and he wrote on the autograph pic: "Draw more humans" which i did. :3

Sometimes my mental health isn't the best and i take breaks from drawing, but i will return to it! I am happy that you enjoy my silly doodles and love to see more younger folks trying to get their lil feet into the colourful rainbow stream! Dive in, paddle along or float on it, your way of swimming, your style! ;D

[astroboots]

I was in a really strange mood the other day. Not sure what it was exactly - the spring, something in the water, retrograde Mercury...Whatever it was, it set me aflame with the desire for Oscar Isaac. That feeling is not a new one, but the intensity it hit me with was pretty remarkable even for me. So I did what every logical person would've done - got here to get myself some gorgeous gifs of his.

Long story short, a couple of hours and several delicious gifs later, I started to think that maybe it's a good idea to read something. Well, I actually specifically didn't want to read shit, but there were just two many texts coming my way, upon thirst scrolling. So, while I was half-heartedly trying to drive these thoughts away with an imaginary stick, I came upon the "Red Flags." And was met with something I can't fucking resist - long chapters.

I read all sorts of different fanfics for all sorts of different reasons. We all have our own preferences, and I am trying not to concentrate on mine all that often, because it will just result in me reading only specific things, and there is a chance I'll miss something really good.

But I still do have those preferences. And for me, THE most important thing in the story is for the characters to feel like themselves from the original incarnation. Not to a tea, perhaps. Not always, at least. But I want to read something they do and go: "Yeep, that's them. That's exactly how they would've acted. "

I've read a lot of absolutely brilliant stories that I see more like an AU situation. Great storytelling, amazing characters - it's all there. But the characters just don't feel the same to me. It doesn't make the story bad whatsoever. It's just a separate category for me.

And then there are those VERY rare ones that are just making every single thing right in my eyes. Of course, these things are objective. Of course, it's only based on what I personally want to see. But when I find them, I'm treating them like an absolute treasure.

Which leads us to the "Red Flags." The story that got me so invested that I ended up reading it till 3 in the morning because I just couldn't bring myself to separate with these characters.

After the series, Steven got so much love. Which is completely understandable. He is an adorable, goofy, absolutely charming idiot that you just want to be around. But I don't think Marc himself is getting enough appreciation. Which he should.

The way he was written here made my heart ache. He was portrayed so real, I was sometimes sure I could touch him through the screen of my phone. The man was so broken on such a deep level that he had to create a happy version of himself, to be able to cope with trauma. The man, who is denying himself happiness because he doesn't think he deserves it. The man, who is willing to give every single good thing in his life to his alter ego, whom he sees as a pure and sweet person.

One of the most realistic main heroines I've seen in fan fiction - just like her, I wanted to grab him, shake him up, and scream that he deserves love, deserves to be cared for, deserves being looked after and to be able to just be himself around a person, who loves him. To let someone love him. He doesn't deserve to be shout at, though. Doesn't matter if it comes from a place of genuine care. I'd kill for this man. Got every last bit of patience out of me to help him see how much he is loved and needed. How beautiful, how kind, and caring he actually is. How empathetic he is. How, no matter what little he thinks of himself, he is a whole world.

It's not even just the romance, but how he treats Steven, too. It's just beyond words. I never thought about it that way, but it was so heartbreaking to see that he went far and beyond with writing Steven cards from their mom. He did not have to do it, but he wanted Steven to feel loved. Something that he never got himself. The man, who grew up abused and hated by his own mother, who drew so many walls around himself, still remained a kind soul behind it all.

I want you to know that by now, I've read it twice over, and I'll be absolutely doing it again. Alongside all the one shots. No idea if it was intended that way or not, but they absolutely do read like a continuation of the main story.

I don't really have the words to describe how much I loved it and how I fell in love with every aspect of it. But I just need to thank you and your wonderful co-writer for giving us (well, me, personally😇) the privilege to read something that extraordinary🥰💙🥂

Hello lovely!!!!!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to answer this. When I received this ask this week my face and soul lit up. It's so kind and sweet of you to take the time to write this and send it. I really appreciate you so much.

I'm so glad that you felt that the characters read like they were in their original MCU universes. It's something that I completely owe @thirstworldproblemss too she has an insane knack for storytelling and character voices that blows me away everytime. Between the two of us i'm the one living in London and yet I have a Transatlantic accent and I don't ever use British slang, and she was the one who had to britishify Steven and she did it with such skills I'm in awe of her always.

But also the characterisation of Marc, once again I owe so much to her, because she's the one who broke down the character and made me appreciate all the beautiful, heartbreaking layers of his character.

Red Flags has been such an absolute beast to write and taught me so much about long-form story telling and it has an incredibly special place in my heart and to know that people are still reading it, and that you had such a strong reaction to it fills me with immense joy. Thank you so much once again for reaching out! I adore you.

It’s probably just the Frontal Lobe developing combined with dissociation but… anything even 6 months ago just feels like… not me, though I can recognize it as me. But anything like… 2-3 years ago, I could easily be convinced that was not me.

Vent ig? More just complaining. TW mentions vague of sui. This is all just random jumping back and foward about shit on my mind

Even just comparing highschool to now…

I did so many clubs and extracurriculars in ms/hs, and wanted to do more. I did a military program, band, a team creativity program thing, martial arts… I even wanted to do stuff like chess club, math competitions, orchestra, etc.

I drew constantly, I did my homework, I attended everything, I generally felt productive.

And now like… the last time I drew was over a month ago. I had to drop most things due to lack of time and loss of motivation, I only do band now. And… I don’t practice my instrument. I constantly forget homework, I never study. I was a gifted kid, and I thought the burnout would plateau in college. But it’s only gotten worse. I haven’t made any friends here. I don’t know my roommates names or anything about them. I haven’t made a proper meal (aka actual cooking, not just box stuff) in weeks.

I want to indulge my hobbies more. And I know the biggest reason I couldn’t is because of Friend Issues™️, deteriorating mental health, and school. And like yeah I’m finally getting out of ‘need constant distraction or the Harmful Thoughts will come back, but now it’s just… I feel empty without it.

I miss the kid I was. She couldn’t have ever imagined life would be like what it is now…

She has no idea we’re trans, we’re disabled, we broke up with that one guy who actually turned out to have cheated on us, lost that one friend who meant everything to us, learned how actually disgusting this stupid state is to the point I’m scared and tempted to take down any visible pride things I have because of elections, not even the fact we’re a system.

But like we got cool ass dyed hair and piercings and tattoos that’s sick at least. I want more.

It’s hard to think about what my life would have been like if I hadn’t done this one thing. If I hadn’t spoken to this person, if I hadn’t watched this show, if I hadn’t gotten an account on this website…

Yet, I really don’t think there’s a universe where life is any better than this. There’s a lot of shit, but there’s some wonderful things too.

Yeah I was cheated on, injured my leg, traumatized, constantly sick as a kid, made absolutely terrible mistakes, but. Now I’m in an apartment studying something I love, I’m playing fantastic music and I’m a lovely musician, I’m making fashion choices that I like, I’m doing what I want with my body. I’ve even got a fantastic boyfriend and group of friends that I don’t feel like I have to pretend around. I never realized how much I was masking and pretending and hiding until I met these people.

Idk whether I’m happy or sad. Something something cancelled out I guess. Now that Friend Issues™️ is over after being stuck with them for over a year, things finally feel like they’re (somewhat) going up. Just gotta stay alive until then. And I think working on fixing my sleep schedule is helping. No more staying up till 5-6 am!! Need a Morgana to bitch at me to sleep smh

I should pick up a new hobby. I still kinda feel like I’m distracting myself with my interests instead of enjoying my hobbies. I’d like to do something artistic, but I don’t have the motivation to really draw.

Maybe I’ll have some motivation tomorrow between classes. I do wanna draw my new oc and give him a solid outfit instead of just ‘inspo’…

[anzuhan]

Do you have any 00 characters you like, aside from the innovades and the Trinitys?

yes and im sorry i dont really talk about them or draw them (only sometimes) 😭 i posted a tierlist awhile back & i have no idea where it is . so i will just talk about everything here now :) it will probably be VERY long so i am putting it under a read more. also this will be full of spoilers but i guess that makes sense <- saying if anyone stumbles upon it & is still watching

edit its super long 🙏🙏🙏🙏 HOPE YOU ENJOY READING

my absolute favorites besides the innovades (trinities included) are neil and chris! i did draw neil a few more times than anyone else thats not an innovade, and sadly only drew chris once for her bday 😭 IVE REALLY GOT TO DRAW HER MORE shes so cute and fun to draw..

my opinions of neil were very rocky at the start and i didnt like him AND IT WASNT EVEN HIS FAULT 😭 i first played dwg3 before watching anything gundam related at all (and then started by watching 00); i didnt know which lockon stratos was in dwg3 but he was kind of annoying to me </3 and because i couldnt tell them apart i just supposed it was neil and hereby disliked him 😭 well . that one was lyle but i found that out later ... thruout s1 i slowly got to like neil more and more and by s1 finale i was absolutely crushed . my opinions on tieria may also be foreverchanging, but one thing we share for sure is that we hated neil till he died then just didnt anymore </3

chris i liked a lot from the beginning because of how easygoing and nice she was with everyone, and in more ways than one she reminded me of myself 🥺 i also dont really see very often characters that like coding or technical stuff & are extroverted & like fashion so this felt like a win for me.. finally... some representation (real). this all and her whole thing with weekly crushes is so 😭😭 when she first saw johann and got a pic with him IMMEDIATELY and thought he was hot n then got sad that he was evil and fucked up was so me 🙏 so with how much chris meant to me & how they basically replaced her with mileina that i do not like for variety of reasons was my personal 9/11 for this anime

now besides these two i also hold quite literally majority of all characters in high regard. i love patrick a lot for being funniest guy around & kati his not bayonetta badass wife ... i dont usually do shipping but theyre really so cute together i always go 🥺🥺🥺 when they were just happy together. saji and louise too !!!! the whole story with how their relationship changed and evolved was so great and i was hooked. marie is absolutely one of my favorites in terms of backstory & the peak of s2 to me (yes ... despite the innovators because i didnt like a lot of handling of them 😭) — i really didnt care all that much about soma in s1 and then they elevated that so hard in s2. i am not a person that holds family things in high regard due to my own personal bad experiences, but besides her backstory with allelujah, the scenes between her and becoming smirnov's family were always so dear to me whenever we got them 🥺 this was also really just from a little side thing of the extra s2 chibi animation, but that scenario of them all taking a trip to heaven and marie making andrei talk to his parents and them getting all together was so sweet as well i love loved that one ...

despite it all, i also truly believe graham is best boy of the entire 00 series. this guys so peak i dont even know where to begin; the bond between him and his other squadron members was so good. it was a real shame they kind of had to go 😭 his love for the flags was also so real... and this guys VERY good at what hes doing, like my guy could fight off whole gundams with gn drives in some far underdeveloped flags. i know some people didnt like the turn they went for with him in s2 where he became weeb supreme but i thought it was so funny 🙏 MR BUSHIDO LOVE. he also got a super cool custom ms so i gotta give it to him ... all & all as well, this guy then sacrificed himself, died a hero, and was so cool he just came back to life to become a new meister. how can any other guy in this beat THAT ☝️

for the rest of meisters, i am sorry everyone. i did not care about setsuna that much </3 i acknowledge him and his greatness and how much hes helped multiple people here, but whenever they just wanted to mirror setsuna and saji i always ended up being more interested in saji im sorry 😭 ; allelujah is a little guy i just felt sorry for the entire time for literally everything . all the way from the start from the debacle with tieria that was so crazy to the hallelujah struggles to then having to also struggle with soma 😭 this guys just the real struggler. the supreme struggler of all time. i hope he gets some rest he really needs it asap ; lyle i used to not like because of . how he even started off in the scene with feldt </3 AND I LOVE FELDT like get ur hands off her omg ... but he did grow from then and i think hes pretty epic now, him killing off ali was also super satisfying in the end of it all :)

for the rest of ptolemy, talked briefly about feldt above, i think shes great but also her changing crushes between meisters was so funny 😭 like you go girlie i guess ... ! she tried her best . her holding the crew in such high regards as her own family was very wholesome 🥺 LICHTY 😭 lichty was so funny too and. well. LIKE I GET IT i get the drama that went down in s1 but i wish it didnt have to end like that skllwmegj😭😭😭😭 i wish theyd just have a near death experience and then him and chris could just get to be happy together after but i guess not 😔 sumeragi & kati's intertwined backstories we got to know more of thru s2 were really cool to see, and billy's love for her punched me and kicked me into a wall. this man loved her SO much its unreal . hes such a good guy 😭 (which it kind of ticks me off he ended up with mina ........... LIKE COULD YOU GUYS NOT FIND A MORE NORMAL PERSON FOR HIM 😭 i think he deserved better but thats just my personal opinion ... im sure theres a lot of people out there who want mina right NOW and would disagree. so this ones for u guys . if u think shes epic and cool then i guess he got peak ! good for him) ; other unmentioned members i had no real big opinion on 😭😭😭😭 i sometimes even forget lasse exists i am sorry . hes done nothing wrong just left absolutely no opinion on me 🙇‍♀️

now im not gonna detail THE REST as well but again i literally hold everyone in high or at least neutral regard from ali to whatever the name of the a-laws blond evil guy was im sorry 🙏 the only two i can even say i dislike in the slightest are mileina and alejandro 😭 which is such a duo out of every character in this to tie together . i know . but yeah i hope you enjoyed the sumi rambles 00 NO INNOVADES edition 👍👍 i tried to be as true to myself and my opinions as possible so heres all of them . on paper. digital tumblr paper

Happy Valentine's Day Folks<3

I only got like, an hour till it's over and I didn't have time to make any art or anything saurry.. but like, hey, opening night on batb went rlly well!<3 maybe I'll post some belated stuff, we'll see- but my whole weekend is booked by batb, so y'know.

But in the absence of art, have a fun fact instead if you wish:

Merry Anniversary to Gem having tits<3

5 years ago today, back in the Pixilart days, before I drew noses or eyebrows.. I drew this happy valentines piece of Gem:

Under the justification of her being a shapeshifter, I made her curvier. Then I went "hey wait a minute.. this eats." and she's had a mostly hourglass body-type since<3

That's right folks! Gem used to represent my actual body type! And yet, it was later on when I gave her freckles that my friends went "but.. you don't have freckles?" like girlies my cup size ain't above a c either.. I always found that funny.

But yeah, if you're looking for an idea of what I look like irl, Moldf00d is where you oughta turn to, because Gem is 99% wish fulfillment babyyyyy-

Though I have brough a bit of my physicality back in her, though mostly through either details or symbolically rather than literally.

Like, she has my hooded eyes now, her hair updates- even her bangs- with mine, she has my straight nose- I always have her ribs showing to an extent, because I am skinny/at risk of being underweight-

This is the most recent ref I have of her, which is still Not up-to-date because her color palette has changed, and I like creating a shape distinction to the black/brown part of her tail to make it reminiscent of a deers, since that is why that base was added. [& Also, I SWEAR nowadays the extra lines in her irises are the color of the pupil, not the darker version? but mayn... idk idk lol)

Anyways, this has like.. really put into perspective how long I've had her. Like I knew I've had her for a long time, through many iterations, but remembering the exact number of years and seeing them.. insane honestly. I think i can find the like, OG OG ref I have of her somewhere-

At least, the og ref where she's recognizable as herself. I have even earlier personas that share a lot of aspects with her, but those aren't really her.. yet. It's all just evolutions, y'know?

Scrolls of Mudorius 14

He drew his weapon...(Icaru) "Before you strike us down can I ask why you want to kill all of us here?" (Crimson) "Let's just say my client wants rid of the unconscious one, the three of you is just to thin that peace group's numbers!". I guess this is how things end...I guess the only saving grace is Umbrell didn't get my scroll. -Click- just as he was about to charge....they showed up! (Kiyen) "Don't take another step" (Miyuki) "We won't hesitate" the pair of them held their blades to his neck! He then suddenly vanished....(Crimson) "Hyah...never let your guard down" -gulp- the second they dropped their guard her pushed them both back. (Kiyen) "Reaper's Edge" (Miyuki) "Blade of the Future" I can't believe Miyuki's speed she out ran Kiyen's attack! (Crimson) "Nullify...ugh hehe so you two don't feel a shred of doubt huh?" (Kiyen) "Of course not I have fought stronger opponents my whole life. I never backed down till the bitter end". The man seemed wounded pretty badly after both attacks.

(Crimson) "How about you? why don't you feel any doubt when facing me?". (Miyuki) "Simple I have full trust in Master Kiyen and when we fight together we will take any one out. Also you blew your hand when you waited till our guard was down to reappear. Now we know your ability is simply vanishing and not any form of teleportation". (Crimson) "I see you are one of those analyser types...with my current wounds and the other three getting a breather I doubt I can win the fight here! But next time I clash blades with any of you I will take you out" he vanished using a crystal liked the others. (Torami) "Thank you Commander Kiyen and Miyuki" (Miyuki) "Humph I too am currently a Commander so address me by my title!". (Violet) "Or what..." as she was done talking Miyuki and already approached her pointing her sword right at Violet. Her speed was insane....I would hat to be her opponent especially if she was analysing me at the same time.

(Kiyen) "Miyuki please put away your sword, if you were to hurt my squad members I would have to fight you!". She put her sword away and helped Icaru to his feet while Kiyen tended to Novelle's wound and picked her up! "Are you two able to walk on your won" we both nodded, we then decided to go back to base. (Torami) "Commanders if I can ask has anyone heard of this Disowned group before?". It took a bit for any of them to respond, (Miyuki) "Only a few rumours where there name has been dropped. They seem to be a group trying to build up their reputation....other than this Crimson guy only 3 other members have been confirmed!" (Icaru) "According to some scouts we can confirm they have been collecting bounties from Soalien!". I felt nervous hearing that....if he has a relation to warriors like Crimson he seems even more dangerous. I wonder if Novelle has any knowledge on this group? the issue is she will most likely be questioned a lot for all of her actions in the Peace Blades!

-Meanwhile back at the abandoned Kingdom- (Cres) "So you failed to take out Novelle then?". (Crimson) "Give me a break I had to face two Commanders....Nullify didn't work on either of them!". (Cres) "It is your own fault for thinking it would, they are warriors willing to fight an army just to create their idea of peace". (Crimson) "Their idea?" (Cres) "True peace will be the eradication of all opposing group's fighting each other for their own pursuits. Isn't that right master Ernest?" (Ernest) "Yes we shall take all others out and then destroy all Legendary Weapons. However we need to build our organisation first, this place is a nice temporary base though Cres!". We are the Heir's who were denied our heritage, we have lived the lives off unworthy civilians. But one day we will unite everyone in this land after the destruction of all Bandits, Peace Blade's and Clans!

I would rather have coffee than tea. I would rather have a cat than a dog.

I would have had a good time.

I wouldn't have trusted Steve either. Frank wouldn't have it any other way.

Isn't that what you would have done?

I wouldn't have done that if I were you.

Only My brother would have the guts to do that kind of thing.

Don't worry, with a little more patience, you would have succeeded.

If my daughter had studied harder, she would have passed the exam.

3. BESIDE

Besides, it's her word against mine.

Besides, it's her word against mine.

What Alex said was besides the point.

Is anyone coming besides your friends?

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Pam remained awake until yesterday morning.

6. SUCH

He is such a liar!

Don't be such a fool!

I don't think that's such a good idea.

We all had such a good time.

I've never heard of such a strange story. Don't be such a couch potato.

Why did you say such a thing?

I cannot afford to buy such a thing.

The boy is such a smart boy that he passes his math exams successfully.

It's such a beautiful day.

I've never heard of such a thing.

Mady must be quite a woman to inspire such admiration from jack.

Why would Tom do such a thing?

You can speak sarcastically even on such a delicate subject.

I had never seen such a nice beach before I went to Hawaii.

I'm surprised that she did such a thing.

Imagine Alucard...

Has a drawing of you.

A little idea I had.  I HC Adrian as an artist and enjoys drawing and painting on his free time.

Fandom: Castlevania Pairing: Alucard/Adrian Tepes x GN! Reader Word count: 300+ words Warnings: 16+, Fluff, Slightly suggestive if you squint

Enjoy ~ 

Sitting on Alucard’s bed you’re flipping through his sketchbooks. You admire and make comments on the beautiful sceneries and portraits he’d captured over the years.

Stepping out of the room for a moment he leaves you alone just as you finish looking over the final sketch of his last finished book.

Setting it atop the others you walk over to his desk and pick up a leather bound portfolio filled with loose sheets of parchment, each coated in color and pencil scratches. You recognize a few of his most recent works till you find yourself in your hands.

“If you’re interested you can look through-.”

Alucard walks into you smiling with sweet amusement, cutting himself off he looks at you with a mixture of shock and embarrassment.

“You draw me when I’m sleeping now?” You ask, holding the portrait in front of you. You chuckle at his flushed cheeks as he scratches the back of his neck.

“No I- well.” A nervous laugh falls from his lips as you take your spot back on the bed. “I didn’t think you’d find that so-.”

“Adrian, I’m not mad. It’s kinda cute, in a sweet stalker kinda way.” He laughs at that.

“I couldn’t help it, capturing beauty on paper is a hobby I enjoy.”

“And that’s why you drew me?” You already knew the answer, you just wanted to hear him say it.

“Yes.” He smiles as he strides towards you from the door. “Although, I could never do you justice. That kind of beauty is impossible to imitate.” Leaning down he captures your lips in a quick kiss.

Pulling away with the parchment in one hand and the other resting behind you in a reclined position you look up with another grin.

“Okay but why am I asleep, did you never think to ask me while I'm awake to pose for you?”

“Well, you looked so peaceful in the moment but if you’re willing to be my subject, I’d love that.”

“Oh yeah? Then how do you want me, what's my artist’s vision?” You ask laying back fully, your lower lip caught between your teeth.

Taking the paper from your hand, setting it aside, Alucard crawls over you and cages you under him, gently sweeping your hair back.

“Anyway you’d like.” With a kiss to your cheek he whispers with his only request.

“Naked.”

This was short but I hope you liked it, if you did feedback and interaction is always appreciated :3

All Hers

Pairing: Older!Natasha Romanoff x Younger!Reader, Carol Danvers x Reader

Summary: no one told you that moving on is just twice as worse as actually getting your heart broken, especially when someone decides to take everything back

Warnings: angst but with a happy ending for the reader!

A/N: I’m honestly shocked but so happy that people really liked Stop Running so thank you so much for the positive reviews on it!! I wanted to post this before we celebrate NYE so here’s an epilogue/part 2 of the first part! I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing the two parts!!

Tags: @tashakink @hoeforwandanat @maddess @the-empty-chxld @simp4nat @lonewalker17 @snowdrop1026 @burnoutbo (i have no idea why i couldn’t tag you im sorry 🥺)

Stop Running [pt 1]

Other than hearing other people’s opinions on romance, you’ve always thought that the moving on stage from every heartbreak is one hell of a ride but you greatly underestimated how much it can actually take before you can officially move on from someone.

Specifically, no one told you that it would take literally 2 years of heart ache, tears, and sad 3 am playlists till you were remotely confident enough to say that you’ve officially moved on from Natasha Romanoff.

It definitely didn’t help that you watched Nat go on a few more dates with Bucky and Bruce before officially becoming a thing with Bucky. Although they broke up after a less than a year of dating, she never mentioned why and even Bucky wasn’t really sure why other than “it’s just better this way”.

So now the main questions: Did you ever have that movie night with Nat? Nope, never got the chance. Do you regret your decisions? No of course not, its life. Would you go through that all over again? Oh hell no

The months after your conversation with Nat was absolutely brutal. You took some time off for yourself but honestly, you never realized how paralyzing heart ache could be and how it’s easier to be said than done.

Tony knew about it, only because he witnessed you breaking down over it, so he decided to give you a month to any destination of your choice as an early birthday gift and you immediately picked Italy. After staying there for a bit and coming to terms with the situation in order to move on, you ended up extending your stay to travel all around Europe before eventually settling for London for a few more months of fun and emotional healing.

During those 6 months of the mentioned healing and self reflection, you realized that what you did was definitely unfair for Nat because you didn’t think of her and how things would change after your impromptu confession. In addition, you finally came to terms where Nat was coming from and creating that line between friends and lovers was something she just didn’t wanna break– it was something that drew you to her in the first place. However, you also realized that you can’t pick anyone who you can fall in love with and that was proven to you when you met Carol.

You’ve heard about Carol before leaving for Italy, and Carol had heard of you from Wanda after arriving a few weeks after your departure and seeing Wanda sulk around without you around to keep her company. As luck would have it, meeting Carol was the key for you to move on from the red head ex-assassin.

“Come on Y/N/N, we’ll be late if you don’t hurry up!” Carol calls out for you as she packs the last of your bags. You grab your carry on bag, carrying it down the stairs of your AirBnB to meet Carol who’s just about finished packing your little knick knacks around the living room.

“Alright babe! Ready to go?” Carol asks with a smile. You look around one last time, taking a deep breath before giving her a smile back.

“Yea, let’s go home”

“Wanda I swear to God if you don’t stop hopping around like a bunny, I’m gonna put you in a cage” Tony warns the excited witch with a narrowed look causing her to chuckle.

“Sorry, I’m just excited that Y/N’s coming home today” she grins excitedly while bouncing at the balls of her feet, her head whipping to look at the front door as Nat enters the room. She sighs in defeat as it was not the person she’s waiting for.

“Really don’t wanna see me huh?” Nat teases even though there’s a hint of truth at her little joke. Ever since your sudden disappearance without warning to anyone but Tony, Wanda basically ignored Nat as if they never knew each other. However it became worse when Nat ended up dating Bucky a month later, making Wanda ignoring Nat like the plague. Though it’s been some time since then and they’re slowly starting to be friends again.

“Let’s see after Y/N comes home” Wanda teases as she grabs some streamers, floating up in the air to hang them up. What no one notices is how Nat immediately tenses up at the mention of your name, her eyes widening by a faction before putting her mask back on.

“Y/N’s coming home today?” Nat asks. Tony briefly glances at Nat before taking a sip of his coffee.

“Yes, with Danvers also” Tony says nonchalantly as he goes to the coffee maker to get some more.

Nat gives Tony a slow nod in response as she tries to process the information.

“I still can’t believe they’re actually an item” Wanda pipes up, trying to get a read from Nat about the situation.

“Wait..” Nat starts as she pauses her actions of grabbing a water bottle from the fridge. “Since when?”

Wanda shrugs as she floats back down, walking up to the fridge to grab a water bottle as well. “Not sure honestly, why? Jealous?”

“Why would I be jealous? I’m happy for her if she did find someone” Nat answers back as she gets the water bottle then taking a sip of her water. “Besides, Carol’s great”

Wanda hums back in response as she breaks open the seal of her water bottle. “She is, that’s why we hoped that Carol wouldn’t do anything to her”

Before Nat could question further, the roaring sound of the quinjet landing alerts the Avengers in the living room with Friday announcing that you and Carol are back.

Tony thanks Friday as he puts down the mug, clasping his hands together into a clap and smiles at the two red heads.

“Time to welcome the love birds”

“Wow” you mutter as the door of the quinjet opens. “They renovated”

“Yep” Carol says as she grabs some of your bags. “After the whole Banner-Barnes fight, Tony just decided to renovate the exterior as well”

“Banner-Barnes fight?” You asked curiously, intrigued with the new information. Before you could ask, you both heard a loud squeal from a familiar witch as she tackles you to the ground into a big hug.

“Y/N! You’re back!” Wanda grins cheerfully as you laugh at her reaction, gently patting her back.

“Missed you too, you gotta catch me up to the things that happened since I was gone” you chirp back with a grin on your face as you realize how much you actually missed your little family.

With the help of Carol, you both get up and walk out of the quinjet to greet the others. You greet Steve, Tony, and Sam before your eyes glances to behind them. Your eyes catches the eyes of another familiar red head when you suddenly feel your stomach and heart flutter.

Silence. Absolute silence as you instantly tune out everyone. You feel that old familiar butterflies fluttering and doing flips in your stomach the moment you locked eyes with her. You noticed how much Nat has changed this past few months from how she generally holds herself to the aura she now has.

You unconsciously walk up to her. Nat notices as she stands up a little straighter, walking up to you as well. As she’s about to greet you, you engulfed her in a hug and she immediately reciprocates the hug.

“I missed you Natty” you mumbled as you nuzzle your face into the crook of her shoulder. She gently pats your head, sighing softly in relief as she was worried that you’d ignore her also.

“I missed you too detka, I’m really sorry about what happened” she said as she pulls back to put her hands on your shoulders. You shake your head no with a smile.

“It’s alright, I was young and it was my first heartbreak so I would rather it be from you than some guy who didn’t deserve that energy from me” she looks at you with a smile while her heart shatters into a million pieces.

These past 2 years had also been difficult on Nat. It made her reflect on your relationship with her and no matter what outcome she could imagine, it all came out with one answer: she loves you more than she ever expected.

Nat knew that your relationship with her was different, thinking that it was her programmed material instincts so she’d always treat you like a daughter. She thought it was the right move to reject you as she firmly believed that you’re a daughter to her, not a lover. Though everything changed after her break up with Bucky that caused a fight between Bruce and him.

As she was breaking up with Bucky, she mentioned that she wanted a break because she wanted to take some time and consider a possibility that she never thought of. Sadly for Bruce, who is completely innocent, was the target from Bucky’s rage because he thought it was him.

“Come on! You guys should clean up so we could eat and celebrate!” Steve says as he ushers everyone in, leaving Nat and Wanda behind.

Before Nat could leave the landing grounds, she felt Wanda’s hand on her shoulder while she walks up to stand in front of the ex assassin with the knowing look in her eyes.

“Don’t even say it” Nat warns the younger witch. Wanda gives her a sad look before quickly glancing behind her to see you and Carol holding hands as you walk into the building.

“Will you tell her?” Nat freezes at the question, sighing sadly before shrugging.

“I didn’t have intentions to because look at them” she starts as she diverts her attention to the two of you, talking to the others inside the kitchen that can be seen through the windows. “They’re happy. She deserves someone to make her happy that’s at least closer to her age”

“You deserve happiness too, Tasha” Wanda says sadly as she can visibly see Nat’s heart break right in front of her. Nat knew this entire ‘Y/N and Carol coming home’ thing would be a challenge the moment she heard Wanda say your name while entering the compound, but she greatly underestimated the pain she’s feeling right now.

“Everyone does, some gets their happiness later than others” she gives the younger woman a sympathetic smile, patting her shoulder gently.

“Does this mean you’ll never act on your feelings, letting Carol take Y/N?” Wanda asks as Nat watches how Carol would put her hand in the small of your back, watching you with a fond look as you laugh around with the boys.

She hasn’t seen you this happy since before the confession, and she hasn’t felt this deep ache in her heart since god knows when. She notices the way your eyes shined brighter than it ever had before, the way you hold Carol’s hand tenderly and kissing the back of it lovingly and dearly. It’s just like how you’d act around Nat whenever you two were alone, and she broke your heart.

The more she watches you having a good time with Carol, the more her heart gets flooded with emotions that weighs her down. The sinking feeling of loneliness makes her think twice of her decision but she knew that if someone had to experience the consequences of her next actions, it’s her and not you. She owed you that much, perhaps even loves you that much.

She knows that romance is a dangerous playing field and shouldn’t poke fun with, but only now she realized how it could also be as easy as writing ‘I love you’ if it’s with the right person.

“Yea, she’s all hers” she says with finality as her heart completely shatters at the sight of you kissing someone who isn’t her.

Okay I know this is old news or whatever but I am so mad about how much hate the artist/author of Boyfriends on WEBTOON gets.

From when I was more into the comic, the main reason ppl had to be upset at the person were:

A) They drew BTS nsfw art in their teens

B) They fetishized trans men

C) The characters are all Asian and do not look Asian

D) They had the nerd say he was a proshipper

These reasons are honestly so bad to me. Idk if anyone else has extra info or maybe something else he did was bad, but I’m going to explain why I think these are such bad reasons.

1. BTS nsfw art

I’m just going to come out and say it’s bad to write or draw fanart/fanfics of any real person if they haven’t given consent to. It’s different from characters because these are Real People with real emotions and such. And yeah, that wasn’t good. But a couple things. They stopped drawing it around 17-19. For some people that’s way too old to be drawing that, and many think that it’s an attempt at an excuse.

I don’t think that’s the case. I can’t tell you how many posts I’ve seen online of people having bombastic crushes on singers and actors and doing the most heinous shit because they were teenagers. Teenagers just Do That. Yes it’s creepy, but many people go through a phase of having to learn how to seperate fiction from reality and it’s in your teen years. It’s not odd, and I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to consider that a 17-18-19 year old would learn that and send out an apology. I mean our brains apparently don’t even develop till 25. There was also one point that many believed that the artist actually liked someone else’s nsfw BTS art recently, but I saw the post they liked and in my opinion…I had no idea who tf they were drawing. I’m not into BTS but I’ve seen pictures and if I was just scrolling one day and saw it I’d like the post. I don’t remember any BTS specific tags or a BTS related caption. Maybe the entire account was about that and so they didn’t feel the need for tags but I have no idea.

2) They fetishized trans men

Writing four trans men acting stupid and cringy in college and having healthy relationships and discussing boundaries and consent in a polyamorous relationship is not fetishizing. The artist himself is a trans man.

Sidebar, many critiques also center around the unrealistic portrayal of four ppl being in one polyamorous relationship together which honestly? Who cares if it’s unrealistic, it’s a good portrayal and it’s a romance, why can’t gays just have a happy story for once.

3) The characters are all Asian and do not look Asian

Hey, I didn’t know they were Asian either. I mean, I figured jock was but not the others. But honestly it’s not that big a deal. They’re the only four characters in the entire series I believe( other than their girl counterparts) and I’m sure if there was another character that wasn’t Asian we’d be able to tel. But even then, many many comics have a similar simplistic artstyle online, and race and ethnicity are not always obvious. Also the artist is Filipino, so I really doubt there’s anything iffy going on there.

4) Nerd is a proshipper

There’s nothing bad about thinking fiction ≠ reality and that you can act independently of the fiction you consume. Most people irl are proship without realizing it. Most literature is proship, because it explores every single aspect of storytelling. Antis really have not chosen the best hill to die on.

And that’s all I’ve got.
