Hi i was wondering if you can do a Bucky fluffy angst (modern/college au if possible) where basically him and reader are friends through steve and both have a crush on each other but don't do anything about it considering bucky is sort of a playboy and thinks reader is way out of his league and reader is sort of shy and quiet and thinks bucky is way out of here league but get together in the end

“Y/n, did you hear what I said at all?” Your blond friend asked a small snort of laughter hidden in his voice. 

“Hmm,” you hummed, in something akin to agreement as you lifted your mug to take a sip. 

Steve smiled, but gave you a knowing look, even if you were too distracted to receive it. He knew your painting was due at the end of this week, hence why you had been spending so much time in the studio after class hours, getting lost in the smell of acrylic and the smallest brushstrokes.

“I said: ‘You know you’re drinking paint water, right…?’” He said, barely holding back his snicker.

“Uh huh…” You mumbled, “Yeah, I totally hear what you're saying….” you continued, taking a large sip from your mug, to which your face immediately soured, and quickly spit out the paint-clouded water back into your mug. “Oh, gross! Steve!!” you complained and wiped the dribble from your face, almost undoubtedly replacing it with yet another smear of paint.

Steve was fully laughing now, shaking his head at your accidental antics, “I tried to warn you…” 

You punched his shoulder lightly, delving into your own laughter as you reached for your actual drinking mug now, “Don't laugh at me…. Punk.” you grinned and took a much-needed sip from your new mug. Steve always had a good way of putting your shyness at ease. 

He only grinned and brushed off your ‘devastating assault’, “I really do think you’re just about done… I know you still think you have a lot left, but I’d hate to see you overwork something like this.” Steve nudges you, and he would know. The two of you met not long into your freshman year, the both of you being art majors and all. While Steve tended to focus on graphite and charcoal as his medium, you had your heart covered in paint splatters from the very start. Whether oil or acrylics you found your home smoothing them across a canvas even if they didn’t always end up how you liked. 

You were thankful to have Steve, not only for his friendship which brought you out of your shell,  but also for his artistic eye; Because of your difference in mediums, Steve was always one of the first to be able to tell you if you were beginning to lose your themes by doing too much and vice versa. 

You sighed and leaned back from your painting, looking over the piece as a whole instead of its individual parts, “You’re probably right…” You scratched some of the old paint off your hand and tilted your head to the side as you continued thoughtfully, “and I can always add to it after it's graded…. Okay, you’re right… You’re right!” you held up your hands in surrender as you started packing your things away. You knew a break was for the best, and your rumbling stomach firmly agreed. 

Steve snorted and stood up with his things, “Come on, let’s get lunch before our classes start. I’m buying.”

“Well, I’ll never say no to that,” you grinned and headed out as you finished packing up the last of your things.  

You smiled as you two walked down the busy sidewalk and out of campus toward your favorite lunch spot. You finally spoke up, “Sooo, What’s the catch here?”

“No catch,” Steve smiled at you simply, “I’m just trying to be a friend worth their salt, you know?”

Steve was always a great friend, but today he was being awfully nice… maybe even too nice? As you glanced over you could see the smallest glint in the corner of his eyes. “I dunno…. “ you drawled out as you bumped him, “buying me lunch at my favorite spot when it's already so far out of our way..? Seems suspicious to me,” you observed casually with a quick shrug. 

For a moment his perfect smile faltered and his far-too-honest and good-hearted nature got the best of him, “So… I know you’re not really a party person…”

“Steve…” You groaned.

He held his hands up, “But hear me out! It won't be too loud, and there’ll be plenty of people there…. Chances are you won't have to talk to anyone if you don't really want to, but I thought it would be a nice way to get out on a Saturday night…” Steve tried to argue. 

Pursing your lips you gave him a long look, searching him for something else, “Why do you really want me to go, Steve?” 

The blond man sighed as if he really thought he might’ve had you that time, “Bucky is gonna be there….”

You shook your head so quickly you thought you’d get whiplash, “Nope. No. I’m not doing it. Sorry Steve, I can’t. I think I would actually rather drink the paint water again.”

Bucky had been, hm- how do you put this lightly? From your very first meeting, Bucky had consumed your thoughts and shaken your heart. Steve had introduced the two of you a while back now, wanting the two of his closest friends to finally get to know each other. But once you two finally met you just clammed up. You didn't even mean to! But you saw those unbelievably blue eyes and you heard his full-bodied laugh and you haven’t caught your breath since. But of course, you weren't the only one who felt this way, and you'd be silly to think so. Everyone wanted a piece of Bucky, whether for just a night, a week, or something longer and you knew you had nothing on your competition. You were far too quiet, you always had paint somewhere on your face, and you were anything but a party person. You preferred to spend your evening in with whatever takeout you could afford that week- and maybe a small game night if you were feeling especially social. But You were leagues away from what Bucky deserved, let alone from the people he’d picked and chosen from before. Yet Steve still seemed relentless in his will to bring you two together since you’d confided your feelings in him. 

He sighed and plucked out his wallet to pay for your food, “Y/n, please? I know you’re a little nervous when it comes to Buck, but there’ll be plenty of other people around to buffer and It's been a long time since we’ve all been together…” he said, looking over at you.

God, you shouldn’t have looked at those big blue golden retriever eyes…. And following a moment of hesitation, you nodded, “I… I guess I can- yeah, okay, I’ll go… just for 20 minutes,” you finally caved with a sigh, thinking only, “What am I getting myself into?”

—----

Taking a deep breath you stared at the house before you. The party wasn’t crazy or overflowing yet, but there was still a handful of people outside already trying to get a break from the noise and crowd. 

“Just 20 minutes?” Steve asked beside you, his well-meaning smile giving you an iota of comfort.

You nodded, giving him a small reassuring smile and a thumbs up. You smoothed out your sweater beneath your hands, it was your favorite one- comfortable, didn't have any smudges on it, and you thought the color looked rather nice on you. It was just 20 minutes. You could go in and awkwardly talk about something for 20 minutes, right? And if not- Well, there’s always punch.

With a short breath of confidence, you headed through the doors. A small sea of people spread out about as far as you could see, with little gaps here and there for people to sneak through or join in the already existing conversations. You bobbed your head gently along with the music, searching the crowds as you made your way through the dimly lit rooms.

It was an achingly slow start to 20 minutes, most of your time being spent sipping punch while Steve talked to anybody and everybody as if he was personally running for mayor. So you stood quietly, nodding and smiling when people laughed and making expressions that seemed to match the conversation as you looked around for anyone you knew. The whole buzz of endless conversation seemed to get monotonous and verge on overwhelming as you listened in, until a particular laugh rang out, one that was hearty and familiar and made your heart rattle in its wake. 

You turned to confirm your suspicions and lo and behold there he was. Across the room, through the sea of people, you could see Bucky standing there like a lighthouse promising safe harbor.   His blue eyes squinted with laughter as he flashed the whitest smile and made some retort you hate that you couldn’t hear. Just the sight of him made your whole body heat up pleasantly, your lips splitting into a wide smile as your eyes just refused to leave him. 

It was only when he happened to glance over that you realized you were still staring, but he didn’t seem bothered. No, he simply grinned and raised his hand above the crowd to get your attention, urging you to stay where you were while he made his way over. 

Only his path got intercepted. 

A bright, bubbly girl maneuvered up beside him with no problem from the crowd, her arms wrapping around his bicep as she pulled him in possessively close. If that didn’t make your stomach turn enough, the kiss she planted right on his cheek surely did. 

You couldn’t even think enough hide the way your face fell, your whole posture deflating beneath you as your stomach dropped to the floor. “Hey, Steve…?” your voice squeaked out, your throat closed like a vice as you couldn’t pull your eyes away. “I’m gonna walk home, okay? I’ll see you later, I just- I need to go…” You managed to get out, not waiting around to hear out whatever argument he had to urge you to stay. 

“Y/n? Y/n, wait-” The blond urged as he looked around, immediately spotting Bucky and the unfamiliar girl he was trying to shake off, “Wait- It’s dark out, don’t walk alone!” Steve called back to you, but his only answer was the click of the closing door over the murmurs of the crowd. He went to say his briefest goodbyes and run after you when he felt a familiar hand on his shoulder. “Buck?” 

“I’ll go after her,” Bucky assured him, his face worried and serious as you ran off into the night by yourself, “You stay here, I’ll walk her home.” he finished before quickly making his own way out the front door and down the dark street. 

----

You huffed an angry sigh and shoved your hands deep into your all-too-shallow pockets. “Why am I even upset?” you thought to yourself with a biting tone, “you’re the one who's out of his league! You’ve said so yourself! Shouldn’t you just be happy he has someone that will be better for him…?”

“I hate parties…” you mumbled as you passed beneath the streetlight, pulling your foot back to kick the small rock resting on the sidewalk. “Aaaand of course I missed…. ” you think bitterly as your foot whiffs right past the rock, not even a bit of movement to prove your effort. 

“Hey…” A low familiar voice sounded out behind you, its owner coming closer as they jogged up to your side “What did that rock ever do to you?” Bucky grinned at you, half joking as he fell into step beside you. 

“Bucky…?” you breathed, your mood already lightening at the mere presence of it, but you quickly tamped it down, “Oh, right well… The rock…uh, tried to mug me” you half-heartedly joked, “ Really put me between a rock and a hard place, if you know what I mean. But don't worry, I beat it off.” You said with an awkward laugh, internally kicking yourself for such a bad joke and with a pun to top it off at that. 

But Bucky still snorted a laugh, his thumb jabbing back in the rock's direction as you both continued on, “You want me to go back there and kick it for you?” 

You grinned and shook your head, “No, No, that's okay… I think it's learned its lesson…”

You two walked in comfortable silence for a moment, a small smile resting on your face, but inside your heart still weighed heavy upon you. 

“Why did you leave...?” Bucky finally asked and for a moment you swore you heard something akin to hurt in his voice, “I had finally gotten a chance to see you again.” he said, quickly adding, “I just mean… it’s been a while since you, me, and Steve got to hang out. I, ah… guess I’ve sort of missed it with everything going on…”

You tried to ignore the way your heart squeezed in your chest and looked down at your wringing hands as you answered, “I just… It was getting too much for me,” you lied, thinking back to the confident kiss that girl planted on his cheek, “and I didn’t want to distract you from your time with… other people.”

Bucky furrowed his brow as he listened and stepped in closer to you as you hit a dark stretch of broken streetlamps. He was so close now, you could smell the faint scent of cologne coming up from his jacket. Your hands, both chilled by the late fall air, brushed together as you walked in time, though neither of you were brave enough to reach to the other. 

“You mean that girl from before?” He motioned back to the now-distant party as he spoke, “I’m not even sure who that was.” He laughed a bit, “she said her friends dared her to kiss me, but I’m not sure….” 

The weight of your heart eased significantly as you took in a quiet breath of relief, “that seems… huh…” you said as you frowned and rounded the corner, you could see the porchlight your house now and the keys jingled around your pocket as you tried to fish out the right one. 

“I agree…” Bucky said, letting out an exaggerated shudder. Despite the lights now populating your last few steps home Bucky’s protective presence did not waver, his shoulders brushing against yours now and again as you stepped up onto the porch and took out your keys.

Despite fumbling with them you finally manage to open the front door and take half a step inside, “Thank you for walking me home, Buck,” you smiled, “and threatening to beat up a rock for me...” 

That pearly white grin nearly blinded you despite the dark of night, “Of course, I’m always happy to rough up a pebble for you- but uh, I might draw the line at boulders, just so you know.” 

You bit your lip as you chucked, feeling butterflies bounce around your stomach uncontrollably, “Noted…. I should probably let you go before Steve does something stupid and heroic… But I’ll see you soon?” you proposed as you leaned into the doorframe, “Goodnight, Buck…”

He couldn't restrain the grin that parted his lips at the prospect of seeing you again so soon, and seemed to stumble over himself as he backed down the short staircase, “Right… right, I should- Goodnight, y/n…” His grin never left as he finally turned to leave…

… But something stopped him at the bottom of the stairs, “Wait-” He interjected into the silence. His lips tightened as he seemed to fight with himself for a moment, before finally turning back to you with a look of nervous determination in his eyes.

“Y/n, I…” his words paused as he searched for the next ones, his whole demeanor had shifted, not quite the suave confident soul you had always seen, but an endearingly awkward version of him. “I don't know if I’ll ever have the guts to say this again, but I- Y/n, I really like you…” Bright blue eyes met yours as you continued. 

“You’re thoughtful and genuine, and you always have paint on your face- even now-” He laughed softly, pointing to his ear.

“Oh, Shit-” you mumbled, rubbing it off quickly. 

“But it’s what I love about you. You do what you love and you pour yourself into it every time. And even though you’re quiet, when you do speak your words say volumes. You're funny, and kind, and just… so far beyond me that I know I don’t have a chance, but I just had to try why I still had the nerve.” He rushed to finish, ending with a deep breath as he urged himself to wait for your answer. 

Your face burned with the full heat of the sun as you tried to take in Bucky's words, He thought you were out of his league????

“You… I…. “ You had to laugh, your heart so unbelievably light as it all really hit you- he liked you!  You! 

“Bucky, are you serious..? I’ve had a crush on you from the moment I met you. You smiled and laughed and I haven’t been the same ever since.” You rubbed your blushing cheeks, trying to will away the embarrassing hue as you continued, softer, “But you could have anyone- there’s always people falling at your feet, I just figured I could never compete with the likes of them…” 

Wait, you liked him too? You said you liked him too?? With newfound confidence Bucky took another step forward, his fingers reaching out to you in invitation, which you gladly accepted. “You’re right… You could never compete with them,” he started, “ It simply wouldn’t be fair to make them compete in something they could never dream of winning.”

Your cheeks hurt from the sheer force of your smile and as you looked down at your linked fingers you swore your heart would fly away. 

“Um… Bucky, can I-”

“Please” He rushed, his own grin spanning from ear to ear as he leaned in for a kiss.

You know what, the Fairly OddParents fandom has been quite tame. Let's spice things up a little bit.

Doesn't anybody else get that silly feeling when you see fanart of Peri being like a father to Dev, like... where's the rest of you 😍? Don't be shy, show us where Dale is. Or are you too scared? (I wouldn't blame you, I was too at first)

Small warning: this post includes slight swearing and many brain-numbing headcanons. I'm not responsible for any mental anguish you may experience

I would like to quickly apologize to the 6 people shipping Peri with Dale. I thought I was the only one but it seems like I've finally found my people. Anyways, back to the topic.

Now that you're here, I may as well show some more art of these two goobers +some silly headcanons. These are my AUed* versions of the two in my odd semi-realistic style that I completely ditch whenever I don't have the patience to draw faces (I often suck at drawing them. No wonder all my OCs are furries)

Note: him being slightly chubby and him having mobility issues are both headcanons I have shamelessly borrowed from others in the fandom. Also am I the only one who thinks Peri WOULDN'T be 6 ft tall? In the series he's like 5 apples tall, so wouldn't it make sense for him to be a bit short?

Note: there's like a bunch of lore explaining the reason why Dale looks so fucked up in my version. I scarred him for life, oopsie! But at least he has Peri now who "forces" him to go to therapy 😍. I may need to make a seperate post where I only talk about him and his past if I have the motivation.

I know a lot of you don't even know the pain of trying to convert a stylized character into a realistic style and still making them look good and kinda recognizable. I envy you who have less realistic art styles.

*And yes, I did say AU. More specifically I'm talking about the "Missionaries of Eden AU" (by me). I'm not gonna go into detail now, but basically it's a semi-biblical and more serious take on FOP, where the fairies are angels, anti-fairies are demons and pixies... I think they can stay as pixies, or maybe they're ghosts, bees? (There's a lot of things I still need to figure out) Their tasks are to work as missionaries on the planets of Eden (planets where life exists). There's a bunch of other lore (some of which I've explained on my casual/personal account on Instagram), but it's best I leave it for another time.

Btw: if you've seen me talk about a "Below the Stars AU", "Bible AU", "Ager DLC" or something else, it's all just the same thing. I just had a hard time coming up with a good name for it lol.

Also speaking of which, I have another post coming up (hopefully) where I explain my reasons for shipping Peri and Dale. It can honestly, out of context, seem like a toxic yaoi crack ship, but believe it or not but I managed to make it the opposite; plausible AND healthy. I want to enlighten you all plus I really want to yap about them.

It feels super funny to ship such a underrated ship. I'm used to shipping semi-popular ships, so to now be all alone feels kinda fun! They have so much potential and so few are seeing the vision?? Though to be fair I'm also glad it's not that famous lmao.

Ps. Ignore the fact I haven't posted anything here for at least half-a-year. All my mutuals are on Instagram, so I don't have a need to post here, though now I've decided to dedicate this account to hyperfixation slop so maybe you'll be hearing from me much sooner.

Ps. Ps. I currently have a 22-page-long google doc filled with lore and info about almost everything I've thought of for the AU, but it's 80% in Finnish so sharing it is useless.

Man, I love writing unnecessary long posts knowing I'm the only one reading them❤️😍 though if you HAVE gotten this far, here's a little treat:

My body refuses to draw Dale in his original outfit. I like to pretend Peri helped him change a bit (most notably taking off his goddamn shoes, though they do have some lore that I've created. GGHHRRAAA EVERYTHING HAS LORE ATTACHED TO IT GRRRR). Also Dev isn't actually grumpy, he just likes to act tough.

My art style looks probably so inconsistent❤️

[technically-a-kiwi]

Hi guys ! I’d like to share with you my take on a possible DLC (or even sequel) for Pizza Tower:

Overturned Pizza Tower

(Yeah it’s a working title, I’m not even sure if "overturned" is english…)

Basicaly in the game, Peppino is forced in another dimension by a familiar looking but oddly different Pizzahead and has to conquer the Tower all over again, some stuff here and there are different with different levels and a much more different atmosphere, that being that this alternative tower looks far more luxurious than the canon one, let me know in the comments if you want be to develop on how the tower could look like in this mysterious alternative world

first cutscene rough storyboard:

And now for the juicy part >:) hehehe

The bosses:

When designing new designs for the bosses, I kept in mind to not go overboard with the modifications, what makes Pizza Tower’s characters so fun to draw is their sheer simplicity, and I must say in some of my early sketches, I was awfully close to the “ORIGINAL CHARACTER, DO NOT STEAL PLEASE” limit. So without further ado, here they are:

Pepperman:

So as you can see, our favourite fabulous pepper is rocking some boots, shades and a jacket, In this timeline his talent was recognised and became quite a celebrity in the tower, experimenting in other forms of art outside of painting such as photography, origami and clothing. I honestly think that the two drawings I did on the bottom left corner that Pepperman would absolutely embrace his fame and wouldn’t mind that much if people always ask him for an autograph in any place he walks in, he would be quite a diva if he could wouldn’t he ? Let me know your opinion on his design and if you think I should change some stuff.

The Vigilante:

Nothing much changes with Vigi here except a tiny scare under his left eye and a peace of turquoise on his hat, in this timeline the Vigilante is known as the "Bullseye" due to the extraordinary capacity of never in any circumstances miss a shot that it be with his gun, lasso or anything else he can throw at you (unless he misses willingly of course), outlaws truly quiver in fear at the site of him because they know they’re doomed. I must say Vigi was the hardest to redesign, because there’s so much you can modify with him until he just looks a slime with goggly eyes, a funny hat and an angry expression with random details… which…is kind of what he is but in a bad way… you know… Again let me know in the comments what is your opinion and if you think something should change.

Fake Peppino:

And here he is, the fan favourite, the goofy goober elderish monster of the saga. In this timeline the only difference is that instead of a tang top he wears an apron that is stained with a bit of… uh… tomato… sauce… yeah tomato sauce and he constantly holds in his right hand a ladle, he’s the proud owner of his own pizzeria of which he takes vey good care of (or at least he’s trying his best) and most of his clients are actually Peppino clones, as long as they pay for their food Fake Peppino don’t mind their presence, any other clients are very rare considering there is a rumours about the chef killing any clients who doesn’t leave a tip…Honestly one of my favourite design so far (wow how original, the goofy goober is my favourite…) once again leave a comment of your opinion and what you think should be different in my design

Final boss:

Yeah sorry I won’t give you my take on the final boss (yet), but if you think a little and look carefully I think you can already gess who’s the big bad guy, I’ll even post something if y’all really want

And that’s all for now folks!

Thank you so much for reading my post, if you really want me to give you more concepts and ideas for the characters, atmosphere or if you want full arts of the design I just showed, let me know in the comments. Don’t hesitate on giving me your truest opinion may it be positive or negative on this concept and if you think it could work for a DLC or sequel! See you next time :D !

wait… what is that ? Where’s The Noise ?

let’s… let’s not talk about him…

[cloudroots]

Bare with me, this is first time I’ve done one of these so it might get a little rambly /lh

I’d say I’ve improved my art over this year haha, I’ve at least say I’ve got more ambitious with my art

I’m not sure when it started, but I got the idea to upload at least one post each month. It was a way to motivate myself to actually post things and not just keep all my art to myself like I've done in the past.

This year did start a little rough for me. I uninstalled my art app and unknowingly deleted all of my art with over the years. I was able to recover some of it from screenshots and screen recordings, but still, it was a rough way to start the year.

January and February I uploaded the rest of my Gaza ponies. Where I actually had to do the strawberry twice, since I accidentally deleted all my progress on her :/

I was also working on other projects behind the scenes as well, which I hope to share with y’all at some point in the future :)

And another peek behind the curtain, I actually had the art of Center Stage’s bio finished in October 2023, but time got away from me and I take a bit to write up bios in general 😅

Then I couldn’t wait any longer and finally started one of my next gen character’s stories. Scarlet Heart’s story to be exact. Wild that he appears in a third of the months here lol

I hope y’all be prepared to see even more of him next year! :]

My infection Au is then introduced in May. I’m so glad that so many like it! I was able to explore to explore a little bit into horror and ramble about it, which I both enjoy ��

Looking back I'm still not sure how I was able to upload so much in June haha

A DTA, two complex refs, with a incredibly complex cutiemark for one of them, and a pride piece. Still in disbelief that I was able to do that /lh

Then in July, I updated Midnight’s look. Still adore their colors.

August I did an art dump of the ShiningDence family’s early days together. I especially like the lighting and tenderness I did with late night Shining and Scarlet.

September’s art with done pretty quick for the first scene I’ve done in a while. What took the longest was the story that it came with. I haven’t written anything like it in the longest time, but I’m so happy that I was able to write in time for September’s post. Though it was a little rough the first couple of writing sessions, my adhd was killing me lol

Then even more horror in October! Hooray!! I loved sharing my messed up goobers, those silly murderous monsters :]

Most of my time in November was working on other things and coping with the usa election results, so I didn’t have much in mind for what to share for this month. I’m glad I decided on what I did. They’re so cute and it came out so well for what it is /pos

Then at the end of the year, a holiday piece that I put a lot of time and energy into and it was completely worth it. This piece is the most time I’ve spent on one artwork by far. But LOOK AT IT, it’s so cozy and nice and I like how the dolls section came out in particular :]

This year this account turned a decade old. Double digits. 10 years old. It’s a huge milestone, and I’m so grateful of all the people I’ve met over the years. Especially those I’ve met in recent years, glad y’all are here :]

Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I plan to spend more of next year to be next in the face of adversity 🫡

Wish me luck in fighting the urge to redo the art I’ve uploaded in 2020/2021, especially the PokeyPie one. I could do it so much better now :/ but there’s still so much other stuff I want to share, so wish me luck!!

Taking a break from art so here's the last for 2024!

Happy New Years y'all!

Annotations for each month below the cut.

January Bruce, but PORPLE. It's probably in my top three of the year. The reference was extremely helpful, and I feel like this wouldn't have come out as good without it. However, I do adore what I added. It must have been a birthday gift to myself this year.

February The first drawing of these two together! I love these Ixi's with all my heart, probably my favourite Neopet-ocs by far.

March Raleigh as a wooden puppet! The texturing was fun, and the shading was surprisingly less frustrating than I expected, love how unnatural his pose looks. Another contender for the top 5 of the year.

April My Love Bee (nicknamed Beefy) as a sea monster, this was an absolute joy to draw, I am pretty damn happy with it and I feel like it let me get to know my own OC better. another top 5'er

May and we're not done here, the third month in a row to top 5 in it! Shihosu, who's probably also a top 5 OC of mine, as a pirate? it works so damn well for her?? why didn't I think of having her be pirate-y before this? I can't get over it. ( also yes 4 of the 5 being in the first half of the month is a bad sign for my output and mental health for the rest of the year.)

June was a happy little piece I made to feel better and it worked, love these goobers and I would do anything to protect them.

July was artfight and finally an excuse to draw Angel! Who belongs to @sug01s3al. Angel was a joy to draw, even if it was a lot of work, it felt worth it. (Their recent Death Twink design for Angel has me doing eye emojis every time I see it.)

Also this is the final entry to the top 5 for this year, not sure where anything would sit tbh, but they're all competing.

August was a redraw which I, now, typically try to avoid putting in top lists like this, but I loved this piece and I sweated over it working my ass off to make it nice, I'm giving myself this one.

September was the tooth faerie from Neopets! one of my favourite Neopets characters. worked hard on this and enjoyed it, but it was also during a wrist injury that month so, I think this isn't half bad tbh!

October marked the start of my pieces for the Neotober prompt list made by fall-of-a-girl and I believe this was the first animated piece I did for this! I'm so grateful to @Fall-of-a-girl bc somehow their prompt list inspired me to do a few animations after months of doing basically none.

November was this sweet little illustration of Sophie, I just really love this one.

And Finally,

December was one of my last pieces for Neotober, Ebony and Seshora return to this list, being just as cute. I LOVE THEM!

i just discovered your au and i am so in love! seriously you’ve given me brain rot in the best way possible!!

smthg i noticed that could just be me and i’m not sure if you’ve answered before, if so my bad, but while leo’s w the foot his mask is black, and in some of your drawings after he’s w his family it’s blue. was this on purpose and if so does splinter give him the blue mask?? if you’ve answered this before or it’s just how you’ve drawn it you can disregard this lmao

also! if this is a spoiler it’s totally fine not to answer, but what are the details of leo being recaptured and how long before he’s rescued/freed from the shredders armor?

i love you, your art, and your au so much and i’m an official patreon subscriber!!

hope you’re doing well, and i can’t wait for new updates!!!

Well hello, and welcome! Sorry about the brain rot 😇!

Yes, Splints does gift Leo his blue mask and katana! But it takes a very long time before Leo works through his issues, and fully accepts them, and the name Hamato.

I did this little goofy comic back in November, where part of the reason Leo switches, is because Usagi tends to wear blue too, and Leo is a hopeless goober, but that was really just for a laugh and not actually canon.

When Leo does make the final switch, it will be more of a character growth moment. Closing out the whole Shredder!Leo arc at the end of season 1, he accepts the twin katana out of necessity, since his black pair gets broken, but he won’t make the big change to a blue mask until post season 2.

So, ideally (there might be one or two inconsistencies) every time you see Leo in blue, you can safely assume it’s post season 2 in the timeline. I think there’s some early F!Leo comics, where he’s got a blue scarf and black mask, but I decided to change that, as I delved deeper into creating the story. Post season two, and F!Leo wear a blue mask and carry blue katana, only keeping the black scarf (as we’ll see, his scarf is meaningful to him, so that’s one of the few things he keeps from his time in the foot clan.)

As for Leo getting recaptured. It’s after a bad fight with Raph, and Leo leaves the lair to blow off some steam. It’s a few weeks—close to a month of torture before the team finds, and breaks into Shredder’s personal compound and rescues him!

❤️👍

Hi hi!!!! The way you write Luci is genuinely so dreamy🤭🤭

I noticed a part two was posted when I woke up for my 8am class, but I put off reading it until I got done with my other morning class. Felt very much like a reward❕❕

It’s so funny how in the tags you’ll put ooc Lucifer but honestly the way you interpret his character just feels right!

Like yes he’s a goofy silly goober, but like bros also the literal avatar of pride… king of hell and all that jazz, so seeing the more idk elegant(?) I feel like reverent is the word I’m looking for, side of hun in your writing style is absolutely delectable!!!

Also, do you study in a some field of art? You’re just very knowledgeable about the type of reader you’re writing about and it is very fascinating!

Like I know the bare minimum when it comes to that kind of content since the history courses I’m in are just the bare minimum/general ed just so I can get my few history credits and focus more on my education licensure centered courses 😅😭

Regardless!!! The banter! The slow burn! Charlie low-key being a wingwoman! The way you write has so much life and had me giggling like crazy while I was reading! I look forward to your future works😈🫶🫶

Hello!!

I’m so glad you enjoyed my take on Lucifer! I put OOC in the tag just because I was feeling my version of him was drifting slightly away from his silly self in ep. 5.

But after just watching the Finale, I can safely say my mix of goofy and serious Lucier turned out to be canon omg 😭 he’s such a dorky badass i love him so much

But you are right, he is the ultimate rizz master 🤭

And, for my knowledge on art history? I did it only for the fic, it felt right to try and write someone who’s made art their life & career, instead of someone who just likes to paint. So having knowledge in the history of art is a must. I just wanted to give the Reader depth without making them too OC-like and less immersive for the actual readers.

The Renaissance is a reoccurring theme because it’s one of the most artistically diverse eras in history, not only that, they also included a lot of biblical stories into their art. They also invented the pencil. They were cool AF *adam guitar solo*

And thank you for the words 🤍, I try my best to treat my writing like i’m watching a movie. Heavy dialogue, emphasis on small actions, character expression, etc.

Enjoy your day 👍

THIS IS THE PART TWO WHOOP WHOOP

Once again half assed analysis, jokes, and fawning over the goobers is below the cut because l o n g

LOOK AT HER!!! SHES SO HAPPY!!!!

I love kikoru, she's so proud of herself here for completing narumi's challenge. Go kikoru!!

Side note: I know Matsumoto said that he gave the number 1 suit the jacket to make it heavier on top and contrast the number 10 suit, however I wonder if there's an in universe explanation for the jacket? I just think it'd be really funny if when narumi was getting the suit he just really wanted the dramatic off the shoulders jacket (I'm not complaining either way it's a solid look)

Oh he's absolutely anxious, dw narumi you're still captain

I like the silly goofy but also the definite insecurity at losing his spot in the first division is being experienced at this point, he brushes it off but I have no doubt it's been a lifetime fear for him and part of his motivation to keep improving (that and the fact that he's always got something to prove to anyone he makes eye contact with)

Omg the solid grouch on his face is wonderful.

The comparison between narumi and isao is so nice to be brought up by hasegawa, especially because besides us the audience, no one else knows that narumi is doing exactly what isao did when narumi was improving. I love the dynamic between isao and narumi that we got to see in the b side even more so after rereading the manga again and being able to make the comparisons to how narumi treats kikoru, especially after (spoilers) a certain man's death. It's practically the exact same only narumi occasionally throws in begging for money because he is a loser (affectionate) at heart.

The impulse spending is a mood tho

UGH and the reassurance from hasegawa and platoon leaders that he is in fact staying right where he is as captain of the first. Even though he brushes it off the people closest to him know him well enough to see that he needs the occasional reminder that he won't be so easily forgotten.

This whole interaction gave me all the feelings and I'm incoherent about it, don't mind me

Another side note: it might be because I've been listening to the tristamp ost but narumi honestly reminds me of wolfwood from trigun.

Hear me out: both are orphans that get brought into some kind of organization when young and trained to be fighters, they've both got some kind of enhancement that was directly caused by said organization, both have a secret sweet spot for kids that's hidden behind a gruff and uncaring attitude, both have an insane self imposed duty of doing whatever they can to protect the people they care about but refuse to admit it, and finally they're most popular ship is with the devious sunshine character.

If you haven't watched trigun I highly recommend, it'll break you but in a good way :D

Epic two page art to close out b side, I'm sad it's over but I'll definitely be reading it again, it's so good!! If you haven't read it yet I highly reccomend doing so

[dandyshucks]

i THINK i am making progress in figuring out artstyle consistency .... or like,, what makes an artstyle. the elements of style and how to control them to get the desired outcome. rambling ahead:

(two photos for tumblr sizing shenanigans)

anyways EMBARRASSING WIP DRAWING RUH ROH but i just wanted to show like,,, i did a quick study of my own face (took a photo of myself lol) to figure out how to draw that angle bc the twist and up-tilt combined together is ROUGH for me, and then i tried redrawing it a little bit simplified in my "usual" style

and I think some things are finally clicking in my brain maybe of how to combine certain elements to achieve a specific style/look,,,,,

anyways the proper drawing is goobered rn (might abandon it honestly ^^;;) so dont pay any mind to that LOL i just wanted to be able to point at the difference btwn the study and the drawing and go "look!! look!!! they are different! that is so cool!! i did different things w them and they are two different styles!! art is so fun and cool!!!"

[eegasleega-will-change-this-l8r]

Ninten ninten ninten!!!

So this is my version of Ninten haha

God I literally cannot draw him 80% of the time so it's nice to actually have one turn out good (it's so hard to not accidentally make him look really stupid or really obnoxious ><)

He's pretty much entirely based off what I came up with in my head after playing the game and thinking about how I imagined the characters' personalities, so it's pretty different from the usual takes on him

Design details and a flood of headcanons below :D

So I wanted him to be very distinct from Ness!! There's similarities like the black hair and the clothing palettes, but otherwise nobody would look at my Ninten and Ness and confuse them for each other

Personality-wise holy fudge do I have a ton of stuff on him

He does have a hat but I only sometimes draw him with it (unlike Ness who refuses to go anywhere without it :3)

His overall shape is wayyy different to Ness's, very scrawny and straight while Ness is all round and squishy

Shirt's blue with a yellow collar, a single yellow stripe on the middle, and yellow edges to the sleeves

He looks a lot like his great grandmother ;)

and also pee-wee herman but that's not as profound

Ninten is a bright and relentlessly optimistic young boy from rural Eagleland

You can call him Pollyanna, say he's crazy as a loon, but he believes in silver linings and that's why he believes in you :)

So my main thing with how I imagine Ninten is that he's, like, almost the sole source of light in the story. How I see the rest of the world is super drab and bleak, pretty much everyone just perpetually down in the dumps (i'll get into this more when I make posts about the other characters!!) And then this kid shows up, and he's full of hope and compassion, and he makes everyone he meets start to realize "maybe everything isn't so bad after all…?" No wonder the final boss is literally the ultimate case of repressed feelings and angst lol

He started showing psychic abilities from a pretty early age, making friends with animals and moving small objects with his mind

He mostly gets his love of baseball from his Dad, but because he's forced to work away from home almost all the time, Ninten's Mom practices with him and takes him to games instead

He has two much younger sisters, Minnie and Mimmie (half-baked headcanon that her name's actually Mimi and she just doesn't know how to pronounce it XD) who cares about a lot, and he often ends up looking after them whenever their Mom's out

He's a pretty great babysitter because of this, takes a lot of babysitting jobs around town, and he's a huge mom friend to the party

Of course he loves penguins too :3

Mostly listens to cheesy upbeat pop songs and rock music, but there's not really any music he actively dislikes

Favorite video games? Uhhh he's more outdoorsy and physically active but he'd like casual retro stuff like the first Mario

He's not super popular at school, because he's the weird buck-toothed dweeby kid who never shuts up about hope and optimism and penguins, but he's not unpopular at least. The bullies learned pretty quick not to mess with him, and DEFINITELY not to mess with anyone else when he's around!!

He's super friendly and prefers to solve things peacefully but he will absolutely not hesitate to clobber a jerk upside the head with his bat

He owns his own tuxedo that he likes to wear at "formal events" (birthday parties and school picture days)

yeah he's a real goober

He never lets up in his hope but god did the Mountain and everything that happened after take their toll on him

I don't have anything on him during the events of Earthbound haha, as far as I'm concerned he was taking a well-deserved nap and that adventure was all Ness's

I also don't connect him at all to Ness, the only bridge between the stories in my mind is Giygas

And here's the sketch I based the digital art off of ^^

[jujapaya]

This is the post where I go insane over every single detail I shoved into the Art of Scraping Through fanart I did recently! I spent around twenty hours on it so now you have to suffer my info dumping :')

Before I start ranting, I have to give props to Squaffle! They made me realize that I can make fanart of fanfiction by making fanart of fanfiction. Wow. I am really smart. Also, I used their designs as inspirations for what I used in this picture. Their art is phenomenal! Check it out! :)

First: The background!

There's something outside of each window! Each window is copy and pasted, but there is an outside. Even if you can't see it. Also, to the right is the Steelers flag (Pennsylvania football team) and a newspaper of the bar opening. You can barely see this in the final version.

Right above Frank's head is the map of West Grove (where they are)! Also, the second image is just a bunch of assorted photo's. I was trying to capture a really run down bar that has black and white pictures of the owners and old pictures of when their bar was a hit. Didn't reallllllyyy manage it, but hey, the pictures look nice :)

Second: The people

This is what the back, back ground people look like without any blur. Also, don't mind Frank. He was the last thing I drew.

These three are OC's of me and my friends, but humanized. Starting from the left is Eclipse, then Vas (who is conveying that Linen, another OC, is saying hi), and finally Arsonist, who is complaining about the humanization. I love sneaking goofballs into pictures they're not meant to be in.

On the left is my persona. It's me guys!! In the final, the only unblurred thing you can see is the fingers. On the right is Canvas, another OC, however you can just see her hair.

This guy in the background is also another OC (my word I'm fitting everyone in here). Not much to say, just that I was up at one in the morning drawing this goober. This is when I hit the ten hour mark.

This is a picture with only the middle people. I remembered that I didn't need to draw full people here. Also that they didn't need to be super detailed.

Fun fact! The guy on the left is someone you cannot see on the final because of cropping. I realized that this picture was not center, and centered it. These two are inspired by my brother (left) and father (right).

This guy is another OC, Bithal. I hate her.

Third: Overall Details

Every beer bottle has AST on the logo. For Frank, it's hard to see because his fingers are covering it up, but it's there!!

There are more drinks on Marc's side to show his drunken state. Also, his beer bottle is empty while Frank is still working on his, as seen in the final picture.

Marc's entire outfit. Oh my god.

The scratch thing on both of their skin! This is also seen basically everywhere but shhhh.

One final detail (probably will be multiple if I know myself well) to conclude this is that color theory is super cool. Marc is all warm colors. His outline is a mixture of yellows and oranges. These colors are associated greater with topics such as happiness and positivity. However, his outfit, demeanor, and outline is a contrast to Frank's deep blues. His outfit is mostly comprised of cool colors, those which normally resemble sadness, isolation, etc. Essentially, what I'm trying to get at with these colors are that Marc is more open in this scene (alcohol be like) while Frank is still the man we know.

Also, his laughter and bubbles are teal because in the comics, teal is one of the main colors that represent Moon Knight. Look at the Mackay run with its major use of teal. It's beautiful.

AANNNDD there are dots everywhere. I love the dots. There's so many of them. I constantly found myself asking "can I use dots here?" and the answer was yes. Yes, you can always use dots here. At the beginning, it was so the picture could resemble an old comic style, but I kind of gave up six hours in and went crazy without any motive.

I hope you enjoyed my very, very long rant on what this picture is all about!! I really enjoyed drawing this! See the final post here!

Arcane Redemption Development Post

The sprites are done!!!

There's a lot i would need to do to polish them (specifically the rats) however these lil goobers will work just fine for our game prototype.

If i were to work on these further i would definitely add more shading and definition into the rats so that they are less two dimensional. I would also need to reword the ratking to better emphasise the idea that it is a mass conglomerate of rats rather than one rat. the idea was executed well within the concept art and sketches however my lack on skill and experience with pixel art meant that it did not translate well to the final product unfortunately. s

In comparison the merchant translated alot better to her final design as she was illustrated in the medium/style i normally work in so she was alot easier for me to draw.

here also is a video of an unused animation concept for the merchant. it would have played when she teleported away.

Week 8: Coming Home

Alas, I regret to inform you that this farewell my friends. At the end of the 8th week of our program, my time in Madrid has come to an end (for the time being) and it was a week full of finals, goodbyes, and reflection. I made sure to especially cherish each activity I did this week: the last visit to the metro, the last walk home to our apartment, the last night out, the last view of the city, the last time eating at our favorite local restaurant. Thankfully, I was able to capture some of these moments visually with some nice pics, but they'll never fully do these moments justice.

Over the course of this program, I've made some lifelong friends and some many unforgettable memories, and I'd just like to extend my thanks to everyone at IPE and CEA for giving me this wonderful opportunity to come to Madrid and immerse myself in its fantastic culture. I feel like I've grown a lot as a person in these two months, like I've aged a thousand years despite how short the time has felt. If I hadn't made it clear before, I must now: if you find yourself able to go and study/intern abroad, I implore you to go for it. The life experience you will gain is absolutely invaluable.

Now for some highlights and recommendations for whoever chooses to come visit Madrid:

VISIT THE MUSEUMS!! This is especially emphasized if you are a student–many museums will let you enter for free or at a heavily discounted price and Madrid is home to some of the best art in the world. You can't go wrong with the trifecta of the Reina Sofia, Museo del Prado, and the Thyssen Museum.

Eat local. The large restaurants and chain locations are fine, but there are many, many gems to be found in local hole-in-the-wall bars and restaurants, especially if you are looking for tapas. You'll save a lot too!

Take a day trip to a nearby town or city. You can find train or bus tickets for quite cheap and there are many beautiful towns with rich history in Spain. Toledo and Segovia, for example, were lovely.

Watch a Real Madrid match if they're in town. Even if you're not a soccer (football) fan, this is one of the most storied sports teams on the planet with an incredibly passionate fanbase, so the atmosphere alone of being at a match will make it worth your while.

Use the metro. This is easily the most convenient method of transportation in Madrid, as their metro system in excellent. The public buses are quite good as well. The point is, use public transportation.

I like to say that a lot, if not most of the best things to happen in life are the ones that you don't see coming, so if you plan to visit, I also recommend leaving some free time to just explore see where life takes you. There's lots to do in and around Madrid and sometimes the fondest memories are the little ones.

And with that I don't really know if I have much more that I can say to you guys that will do this experience justice. Thanks to everyone for following my experience and lending some of your time to read my posts, thanks again to IPE and CEA, and of course thanks to my parents for allowing me to take this journey. I leave you with this picture of my goober dog that I get to see now that I'm home.

Be well and I'll see y'all on the flip side!

Day 4 of My Pokémon Yellow Nuzlocke Challenge!

Today we’ve got some great stuff happening because we finally get to the first couple gift Pokémon, there’s a bunch of nice items we can get, and we can knock out another gym on our list! First up is another rival battle. That little dork has been trying to train up his Pokémon in spite of being defeated twice. Let’s really teach him a lesson this time! (Spoiler alert: he doesn’t learn.)

Spearow leads again is is again wiped by Zippy. I’m gonna try using Stinky to take out his Sandshrew then smash his Rattata with Lily’s Double Kick. And it works no problem! I’ll keep Lily out for his Eevee and finish this battle without a second thought. You know buddy? Even “Growl-ing” and lowering my attack won’t work; Eevee is just too cute, sorry! 🤷‍♀️

Let’s heal up just a tad and take on Nugget Bridge. This is just a bunch of trainers basically making you battle as a toll but end up paying you a toll in prize money, EXP, and a gold Nugget at the end. It should be pretty easy for my team.

Ouch! That dang Caterpie landed a crit on AngryBoi! At least he gained a level for the trouble… Anywho, that’s 1 of 5 trainers on the “bridge” down. Zippy and Stinky made short work of No.2. And in spite of what No. 3 says, he was actually quite easy.

Nooooooo!!!!!! I accidentally reset the game when I went to leave to finish some errands! I’ve got to redo the rival and the first two trainers on the bridge. Bleh. That’s super annoying.

Rival battle again, no problems there. Went mostly the same as last time thankfully. This time, however, I’m saving after I heal so I don’t have to repeat that again. I’ll probably get into an obsessive, constant saving routine for a while before returning to my irregular style of saving. Gotta love crazed over-correction, right?

Also, while it’s on my mind, I’m going to evolve Lily so we’ve already got an extra strong member on the team this early into the run. Oh yeah, No. 3’s Rattata went down even faster this time.

I’ll admit, I have mostly forgotten what Pokémon each of these trainers have so it’s just a tad embarrassing when I have one Pokémon out first and have to immediately switch for another before I get smooshed. It’s spreading out the EXP sure, but I like to think I can predict the computer pretty easily when it comes to these older games. Eh, might as well place Goober up in front anyhow so he gets a bit of EXP too. And if I predict disastrously wrong, he can take the brunt of the damage and let someone else sweep up.

Or, ya know, BIRBY could get smashed with a critical hit and go down.

…

What? Did you expect some tears or something? I’m annoyed if anything! That Mankey just squashed my poor Pidgey in one hit! And on top of that, it almost wrecked Zippy!! It took Lily to finally put it down. Thank goodness I evolved her or we might have been swept by a stupid martial arts monkey. Into the box BIRBY goes to await a transfer to a better life.

BIRBY—Final stats

Lv. 12

Hp: 34

Attack: 19

Defense: 15

Speed: 19

Special: 15

Cause of Defeat: a Trainer’s Mankey’s critical hit Karate Chop.

Location: Route 24, Nugget Bridge

In the meantime, I’ll just head a little farther north and grab the Charmander from the self-proclaimed bad trainer there. Additionally, there’s some grass to the left of the bridge I can grab another Pokémon from.

Gift Pokémon—Charmander/Crispy

Lv. 10

Hp: 30

Attack: 18

Defense: 13

Speed: 20

Special: 15

I had forgotten that this little derp is so low leveled compared to the typical party at this point. We’re gonna have to grind him up a bit to be at fit fighting status.

Gift Pokémon—Bulbasaur/Frogasaur

Lv. 10

Hp: 30

Attack: 17

Defense: 17

Speed: 15

Special: 18

Back down in Cerulean City, we got our next gift Pokémon, a Bulbasaur, due to having higher friendship levels with Pikachu. Again, we’ll have to grind up a bit before it’s ready to battle but a reliable Grass/Poison type is pretty handy. Definitely could’ve used him back against Brock at least.

Route 24 Encounter—Bellsprout/Belle

Lv. 12

Hp: 37

Attack: 23

Defense: 17

Speed: 16

Special: 22

And just in case Frogasaur doesn’t work or gets ruined, we’ve got a pretty decent backup Grass/Poison type. And on top of that, it already has Vine Whip and Growth (which is a big thing as it boosts Special in battle). Actually, I might just bring Belle instead of Frogasaur for now. I’d rather lose a Bellsprout I can find more of another time. Yes, that’s a callous way of thinking. Counterpoint- all of these creatures are a bunch of pixels&chunks of code, so phbbbtt! >:P

Route 25 Encounter—Venonat/Natti

Lv. 13

Hp: 42

Attack: 23

Defense: 21

Speed: 19

Special: 18

Nice little purple guy, sweet! And even better? Venomoth (this little friend’s evolution) has higher stats in Gen 1 than Butterfree and access to great moves naturally without any TM’s! Sorry Stinky, once Natti evolves, you’ll have to go to the sidelines. Thanks for your service to the team.

Enough Lallygagging and catching Pokémon! Time to go to Bills house on Route 25 to get the SS Ticket for our trip to Vermillion City. I’m fueled up with my last bottle of Spark (don’t worry; we got some cans of Code Red today so I’ll still be gamer fueled going forward), and now I’m ready to finish this chunk of the game.

So I’m having loads of fun battling with Natti even though she doesn’t even have to really good moves in her learnset yet. Same with Belle. This is concerning especially since I talked them both up a bit.

Where’s a distraction? Bill being turned into a human/Pokémon mixed up monster. That’s a good distraction! Heh-heh. 😅

Sudden weird but interesting thought: Bill was working on a special transporter for Pokémon; in the second generation Bill is fine tuning and working on a time-traveling transporter. Related research? I think so!

Before we head to the party on the boat with Bill’s gifted SS Ticket, we’ve got a gym to beat! Misty’s Water-types may seem like an easy job when you’ve got a reliable Electric-type but the issue is both of her Pokémon have decent Special stats and, therefore, have a higher resistance to Electric moves regardless of being super effective. My previous play through of Yellow had some issues because of that. Oh and her Starmie’s Bubblebeam attack can be really nasty.

Here we go! I’m going for some evasion set-up with Zippy’s Double-Team then try to sweep with Thundershock. I’m keeping my one healing per battle in mind and may have to do that. Now, Misty is programmed to occasionally use an X-Defend. This is kinda cool but ultimately useless, as all Electric moves in this Generation use the Special stat. But it looks like my evasion strategy is paying off well since her attacks are missing and I’m chopping off large chunks of Hp with each attack.

And Zippy wins it with a reliable crit. Sweet! And with that, we have our 2nd badge out of 8. Now, she gives the TM for Bubblebeam which I would have sold with the rest of the TMs and junk items, but I’m actually going to store this one to use on one of my losing Pokémon that will be transferred. It’s a fun move, don’t judge me! I’m not going to use it on any of my viable Pokémon, so don’t worry about telling me my own rules.

Now, before I turn in for tonight, I’m going to beat up this Team Rocket grunt that stole some people’s TM for Dig and head out for Vermilion City. Cya and love ya’ everyone! -Emily

[julie-su]

Why KnuxSu is the cutest...

They're just absolutely adorable together...

We'll start off on the panel chosen to represent these two; right in the middle of them confusingly falling head-over-heels for the other! Yes, you'll see the docks, and the moon motif in a lot of KnuxSu art.. It's almost a rite of passage to draw either or for these two! "Thus, as the full moon shines brightly in the clear night sky, two figures share a comfortable silence, contemplating their future. So very different at first glance, yet so very much alike, each wondering if they are seeing a kindred spirit in the other, something more than a friend. And both wondering if it's worth it to find out."

(Knuckles the Echidna issue 16 - "Reunions")

Aaaaand then, skip along to... This whole scene, after 20-odd issues of slowburn 'will-they-won't-they' just makes me smile from ear to ear, my heart warms. Just getting to see these two goobers act like dumb teenagers is such a fresh breath of air between the tense segments of Knuckles finding out what it means to be a Guardian, and Julie-Su finding her way around a vastly changing world that she's only just become a part of.

(Knuckles the Echidna, issue 27 - "The First Date - Part 2")

And I just feel so giddy. I feel so giddy typing out the text for these! "Whatever happens, happens! As long as we're together!" -- and look at their faces. This is only the BEGINNING!

There is so much lovelies between then and the end of the comic... I'll put one mid-round, then go to the parts most people have read.

After Knuckles has a painful transformation, whining for Julie-Su in his hour of need, he finally gets to see her again; aren't they just so perfect?!

(Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 100)

I'd like to skip most of 25YL, but also show you this panel, cuz I love them.

(Sonic the Hedgehog issue 137 - "Trouble in Paradise")

Bonus Jon Gray Knuxsu :3

(Sonic The Hedgehog Issue 139 - "Return to Angel Island part 2")

I would be amiss as a KnuxSu fan to not include -this- line which comes way late game, which really just -aaagh!- (Er, sorry, Rouge, girl. I just need the dialogue)

(Sonic the Hedgehog issue 165 - "Leak")

And some exposition through Amy.. Julie-Su letting herself open up to Knux~ also docks scene callback! My heart!

(Sonic the Hedgehog issue 172 - "Worth the Effort")

This part always gets me giddy. Did you know that in the future, they're still together, they have a kid? True to their words~ good as anything.

(Sonic the Hedgehog issue 174 - "Union")

(Also lookit dem bein cute in the background)

Their dynamic is simply wonderful - being the only one that the other can confide in truly, open themselves up to; it's a side of Knuckles that I absolutely adore. And to think that Julie-Su can have somebody to open up to! Even when they argue, they come out the other side in love, because they know that they're destined to be together; just the two of them!
