🪲 note : i ain’t fucking sorry

you adored your husband—shouta aizawa—so much so, that you were his dedicated housewife. he made plenty of money as a pro hero and… enough… as a teacher, so that left you to take care of the house and your shared cat. though when he did come home he was way different than he was at work, usually at work he was all nonchalant and cold but at home he was sweet and caring, sometimes even a bit rough. his students would definitely describe him as laid back and uninterested, yet when you were around they were in awe of his personality shift.

So emphatically would: Juliette from Beast of Hadingley Hill 💚

@squigg-les She's delightful as fuck. I would make her thousands of breakfasts and give her too many books about forests, animals, and obscure regional foods.

I also know a very nice hot spring in Costa Rica she'd like. Well, that anyone who enjoys being self-care-soup would like, but all the same. 💦

I'm re-reading the whole thing on Webtoons for like the 4th time. The characters are precious and infuriating and freakishly lovable.

(🥺 now 😚)

It's beautiful. Please go read it. Quit your job and read it.

[mellowwillowy]

The first thing your husband thought of when he woke up was you. Where were you? How long had he fallen asleep? And why was he... transparent? What the fuck happened?

𝐔𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞'𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝

Yulian knew he was never a good man but he was confident that he had always been a good husband for you. The proof of his love for you was evident from the manor he constructed from scratch for you, isolated from prying eyes and hidden beyond the mist-covered forest.

No one knew the existence of the manor. Well, that was until you decided to invite people who had somehow enraged you in 1981, three years after he passed away... or so he assumed.

It felt surreal. How did he die? It had always been you who died first, not him. Did you kill him? How could you even kill him? You had always been a sweetheart and even if you did, how?

Yulian stopped pondering when he realized he had difficulties remembering who you were. He couldn't remember your face. He couldn't recognize you among all the people in the manor.

If anything was more horrifying than that then it had to be the fact that he couldn't even protect you even if he recognized you. Who were you? What did you look like? Were you a man or a woman? How old were you? Not that your age really mattered... But he was desperate to identify you first!

None of the guests behaved like you and even if one did, it was only a speckle of resemblance, nothing more, nothing less. Yulian was stressed, terrified even. He felt like vomiting all his guts out of guilt and shame. He was too scared that he might identify someone else as you.

Yet to his surprise, it didn't take long for him to identify you. You. The culprit. He had no logical reasoning but he knew it was you from the way his heart throbbed when he looked at you.

To be frank, the mystery was nothing but child play for him, he didn't even have to involve himself during the murder to know how everything was done. Locked room? Hidden passage? Rigged windows? He knew his house's layout best, even better than you if he must assume for now.

By the time he felt confident he had found you, he stayed close to you all the time. He followed you like a pest, watching you act and mingle with everyone while pulling everyone's legs. He would have found it funny and endearing if not for the fact that he was concerned someone might call out on your bluff.

Especially that detective, Stephen Cirillo was it?

He didn't like him. He had never liked him. He deserved whatever misfortune that fell on him, served him right for trying to take you into court as a culprit. Fuck him for testing his patience. He would have spared him like how he did to that prosecutor, Eldridge Alscher, if not for him bothering you.

As much as he hated Stephen, he was also uneasy by how sharp Stephen could be at times. Yulian was concerned over the fact that your bluff might be unveiled by him should you ever slip in your game. That man was watching everyone like a hawk, not to mention he had teamed up with that prosecutor.

Though at least he wasn't very concerned when he knew you had reliable accomplices and well, a backup plan. It appeared that you've gotten yourself loyal mutts.

Fantastic.

He also missed sleeping on the same bed with you. Thanks to his work when he was still alive, he rarely slept together with you. At least he could treasure this domestic moment for a while before you roamed around the manor like an angel of death, clad in black.

He also wondered if you noticed him... the way you looked into what seemed to be an empty space... zoning out... was it you staring at him?

No one could tell it. Not even the hawk nor himself.

~Hello friend, welcome to my blog~

I am a pie with legs and I look like this

What flavor am I? God knows! I am currently creating a longform webcomic called Broccoli Soup! (With an exclamation mark). It is deranged bible fanfiction filtered through seven layers of autism. You can find it here.

I reblog stuff I like, mostly art and comics. I love receiving asks and messages!

About me:

I use they/them pronouns

I live in the Sam Houston National Forest underneath a large rock.

I am an entomologist

list of things you will find here and what I tag them with:

#broccoli soup comic (Anything pertaining to my very Polite and Good webtoon Broccoli Soup!)

#pie dream comics (Comics about dreams I’ve had)

#pie doodles (silly lil doodles I’ve made)

#pie writes (short fiction I have made)

Oh hey what's this down here???

THIS IS CHAPTER ONE OF BROCCOLI SOUP, READ MORE HERE

[welldonekhushi]

TLOR Art Progression, Meme and also a WIP!

Prithvi looking at Vasya horrified in Chapter One vs. Prithvi looking at Vasya horrified in Chapter Three

This man went from, "What the hell just happened?!" to "Uhh, you good brah? Did something fly in your mouth?"

Read the comic on Webtoon Canvas through this link!

[adarkrainbow]

Fairytales - the dark season (1)

Today's title: Hans Vogel is Dead

A lovely webcomic by Sierra Barnes, recently turned into a physical book, started in 2020 and still ongoing! It can be read on its official website here, or on Webtoon here. Or you can just buy it. It even has a Tumblr.

Personal categorization: "Fairytales for wartimes"

Follow the adventures of Hans, a surprisingly sympathetic Nazi pilot of World War II who, after his plane crashes during a nocturnal fight with British enemies, finds himself in a strange and creepy place that turns out to be a fairytale-forest. There the stories of the brothers Grimm and the legends of old Germany are all true... and all took a dark turn, for this place will also be where Hans will have to face his past life and deeds as a "hero" of the Nazi era.

Also featuring an adorable talking fox. And a lot of German words.

[bonefall]

Hi Bones!! Thank you for you hard work on this project and for sharing it with us!

I've seen your posts about weird representation of society (regarding the "natural order of things") in xenofiction, especially in lion king, so I wanted to ask:

could you recommend any xenofiction media that has all (or most of the) animal species sapient? Or is the only solution to make just one or two species sapient while the others (especially prey) are plain animals?

Really sorry if you've seen this ask from me before - my account had a weird laggy period when I couldn't send or receive messages and asks, so I don't know if you got the previous one! I just know that now it's fixed so I double all the asks sent haha

Honestly I'm not totally sure! If any 3rd person has some good recommendations for "every being is alive" xenofiction types, feel free to weigh in.

If you want to jump in with me though, I am following the webcomic Africa. It updates every Wednesday. Africa is about a mother Leopard on the verge of a great ecological disaster, the relationship between her children and the animals around her, and the strength of both instinct and choice as the characters face an uncertain future.

Since it's ongoing, I still don't know how it's going to end and can't judge it as a full work! But it's absolutely fascinating and I think the author is doing a fantastic job so far. Bonus points for the way it portrays humans, btw.

No more spoilers though, if you're interested, it's on Webtoons.

(I'm also planning to read Oren's Forge soon. Ask me about it again in a few months over on Bonebabbles and I'll give you my thoughts)

As an aside though, funny you mention it because like... ever since I was a kid I've had a story I want to tell with the premise. It's a scintilla I've kept close to me for well over a decade but haven't done anything official with. So this is actually a theme I've thought about a lot.

It's rare to see it done well though because like... its very premise butts heads with reality. The "natural order" that an animal follows is not something it moralizes. A tiger doesn't have the capacity to think about how fucked up it is to kill to stay alive, the deer doesn't know that if its population isn't controlled it will destroy the forest.

They're animals. They don't HAVE that agency. Your dog does not care about being sterilized. A snake doesn't differentiate between a pinky and an adult mouse except in terms of if it will fit in its mouth. But the minute you put human morality in there... they have the ability to reason, create and agree on the rules of a society, make choices about MORALITY.

If nothing is going to change about their world, you just end up putting human arguments about "natural order" in their mouths and, well... start telling a parable justifying this "natural order."

(Genuine) Does what I'm saying make sense? Animals DON'T rationalize or negotiate. HUMANS do.

So the minute you're approaching a world with that logic, like it or not, you are invoking those "arguments from nature." And you're putting them in a being that is not fully an animal or a human, but an anthropomorphic mix which CAN rationalize but WON'T make an effort to change their world.

(Which is why tbh the best examples i know of are works with a theme of "change.")

OH WAIT I also remember another that's interesting!! Leafy: Hen into the Wild actually has a fascinating take on it. It's not interested in "moralizing" or really being about an animal society. It's a very emotional sort of movie, and it's about joys in adversity, the freedom that choice gives you, how bad things are going to happen and you can never completely prevent them.

INTENSE movie emotionally, the ending will wreck you (especially in the English translation which leaves out a really important theme making it feel abrupt x_x) but it's really good. Check that one out.

OH and also You Are Umasou. That one has more pitfalls imo (it does try to moralize a bit) but it's super unique as a movie. And is about dinosaurs.

[fish-ears]

Mars kitty- A sci-fi, slow burn romance with a somehow strong focus on speculative biology, is available for reading FOR FREE on webtoon!

Want me to convince you why you should read? Well...

Where should I start? Is your favorite part of stories the characters? Let me introduce you to the main cast then!

The main character - Doctor Fawsley K. . This man has dedicated his life to reviving a long-extinct alien species, and now has his life objective to keep the animal alive and well. Even if that means working on a very questionable pirate spaceship.

His "best friend" - Doctor Henry Heiman - is a younger scientist who's honestly just happy to be there. The two had worked together in the past, and this was also one of the reasons for Henry also getting this job.

I dare say that the most sane on their group is her. Doctor Alice Piazzi, here to take care of the second most dangerous creature we have in this ship.

Now, I did say we share a ship with pirates, didn't I?

We have them! Only a few were revealed so far, though.

From left to right:

Liso the mechanic, Guhlk the pilot, and the two younger members of the crew Jack and Corrina. These guys I can't tell much about just yet- updates gotta catch up first! But I can show you their captain...

Captain Devilman. Don't let his appearance fool you- He is VERY different from what you would expect.

Enough about the humans, right? We should talk...

Animals. We should talk animals!

The dragon slugs are incredibly cute, but also incredibly dangerous. You could keep one as a pet, but even the domesticated ones have poison in their bodies! The one we see on the comic is Princess, and she's Alice's "work buddy".

Pip, the ant flyer! This little guy in clingy and cute, but also evil. You know when your dog loves someone else way more than you? Yeah. That's how Henry feels.

And our last guy... Is a secret.

Just kidding! This is REX, the revived Sorvitii forest bull. This big guy should be extinct, but Fawsley decided to take it as his life objective to make one last of them- which is now REX. Anyways, who wouldn't want a hippo-sized puppy? Besides all of these characters and creatures, another reason you should read this is ...

The colors!

All pages have a unique palette, sometimes representing the emotions felt during it. You'll sometimes read a page and go : do the colors mean something this time? Maybe they do, maybe they don't. It is a fun guessing game! The author!

Just a little guy trying to get his start on a more professional life. The industry is hell and if I wait for a job to accept me I'm never going anywhere. So why not use the time- that will pass anyways - for something I love?

Anyways. This was my little rant on why you should read my comic.

I convinced you? Here's the link again, then!

Nothing Special Volume One: Through the Elder Woods by Katie Cook. Ten Speed Graphic, 2024. 9781984862839. 416pp. including a look inside Radish's notebook at the end. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781984862839?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Callie's dad is a daemon, and he runs an antique store. He never talks about her mother, and he seems overly protective of Callie.

She goes to a high school in the human world, and it's there she runs into Declan, who can also see sprites. (These are little spirits, mostly of plants, that follow Callie everywhere.) It's a nice meet-cute even though they've been in class together since Kindergarten. She helps him learn to communicate with the large sprite outside his house that's freaking him out. He's there when she finds her house trashed and her father missing. Then they set out together to find him, through the door to her father's shop which opens into a magical market.

The magical forest where they go next is a bit intimidating, but in Cook's hands it's delightful, a bright place full of humor, cuteness, and pop culture references. Soon Radish joins the quest -- he's the bossiest sprite around, and more than a little protective of Callie (though that may just be jealousy). And soon Decklan has a rival for Callie's affections, too, though it's clear Declan has nothing to worry about. They figure out why Declan can see sprites and discover who Callie's mom is, too, in the process of rescuing her dad (who really needs help).

Great book. Put it in your YA section where middle school kids can find it, too.

school bus graveyard x oc's

chapter one

warnings: bad writing, lowercase intended, might contain wrong grammar, none more that i can think of

author's note: i'm a first timer in the writing field so I'm not really good at it. i just wanted to try and create a version of mine of the webtoon with my own ideas. the whole plot isn't mine, the whole school bus graveyard belongs to red. i just own aidhel and frances, thanks for reading!

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

it was a quiet night in the town of alto, georgia. that specific night, it was visibly different from the normal night you experience well every night. the sky was abnormally colored in a deep crimson red. the moon was shone with a warm yellow, successfully creating an eerie scenery around the place. the whole place was quiet, too quiet than normal. it was late at night, and no human was in sight. that should be normal but it really didn't felt right. the streetlights were on but the house lights weren't. you couldn't hear anything, not even the wind or the sounds of crickets.

suddenly, deep in the forest a group of eight teens dashed through to the sea of trees. they were running as fast as they could. it proved to be a hassle as they ducked and dodged the branches in the path they were taking. dusts and leaves flew in the air as they ran quickly.

leading the group was a orange headed girl, named ashlyn. her long hair was braided into two braids which was flying with the wind. her breathing was stable, but she was slowly feeling tired from running. she looked at the back of the group, her eyes scanning for someone who had a watch and was keeping track of the time.

"time?!" she called out loudly behind her before focusing back to the path ahead of her. a bespectacled boy with sandy blonde hair named logan, looked down quickly at his watch. his eyes couldn't focus a bit due to his running but nonetheless successfully determined the numbers on the device. "eight minutes!" he called out to everyone around him. he had a rifle in his other arm that he had leaned on his shoulder to keep it upright. being the ace of shooting that he is, the group had all mutually decided that he take the rifle since he's the only one who is good at using it. although they hoped that no situation comes where he would actually use it.

at the back of the group was brunette twins, named tyler and taylor, who both shared the same features and the same worried but scared expression. they gripped a weapon of their own, and kept a look out on the back. there were also a blonde headed duo with them, sharing the same features but not twins like them. the blonde headed girl was named aidhel, and she was gripping on a knife on her hand. in a hurry, she had grabbed it with no thought whatsoever from their kitchen to use for self-defense. beside her was her brother with the same bleached blonde hair, named aiden who despite of their current situation was smiling wildly through it all.

with them were two brunettes, but both in a much darker color than the twins and are not related whatsoever with each other. ben is a cousin of the blonde headed duo and in contrast to his cousin, he had a petrified look on his face while keeping a stable running pace. the other dark-haired person was a girl named frances, and she was holding a stick for her weapon. small but terrible was how we can all describe her choice of weapon as she had already managed to stab something out of it.

continuing on, ashlyn sighed in relief when she heard the time that logan had just claimed. 'just a bit longer!' she thought to herself as encouragement. and as if on cue, after all the running they had done, up front as the trees slowly parted was a secluded area. the area at the end of the forest was packed with used buses and the graffitis were clear from a mile away. with hopeful looks, they all had thought the same thing.

'the graveyard!'

as they finally saw their destination, they all quickly fasten their pace. even though their legs burned with exhaustion, they pushed through to find safety. from what you ask? ashlyn glanced at the back worriedly, her ears twitching as she heard the rustles not so far from behind them. a pair of black skinned almost human legs chased after them. it grinned creepily when it felt itself getting closer to the group of teens.

they all had finally managed to ran out of the forest. they all sprinted in the same direction and ultimately avoided the obstacles of scattered junks on their way. the graveyard neared with an open gate, giving them view of the yellow school vehicles inside. ashlyn was the one to enter first, skidding to the side as her hand hovered above the big red button. her eyes followed the figures of her friends entering before flickering to the inhumane black figure that popped up from the forest just after them.

it was tall, and very human like. except its skin was completely black and no hair was in sight. its eyes were very uncanny and it smiled very sinisterly. it was a monster, and that's what they were running away from. it had managed to catch up and was grinning widely when it finally saw them. it sped up and ashlyn nervously looked at her friends to make sure they were all in.

"CLOSE THE GATE! CLOSE THE GATE!" tyler screamed with urgency as he ran inside with aidhel following close. they were the last of the teenagers to enter and ashlyn immediately slammed her palm to the big red button. the gate whirred loudly, and started to close in. all of them moved to a fighting stance and held up their weapons in front of them. the gate was near close but the monster on the other side was getting close too. they eyed the monster closely, body prepared to charge if it manages to slip inside.

with just a tiny gap, the monster reached to claw at them with a loud screech. creating a cinematic horror scene, they all seemed to tense up looking at it. finally, the gate snapped close and the monster hadn't manage to enter inside. for a second they all kept their fighting stance before finally letting out a breathe of relief.

aidhel dropped to the ground with an exhausted groan. tyler had crouched, and placed his hand on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. taylor on the other hand lessened her grip to her weapon and stuck her tongue out on the gate. frances laughed beside her but nonetheless did the same. the both of them thought it was childish but they felt safe in being inside the safety of the graveyard that they felt the need to mock the monster outside. logan had wailed dramatically as he felt relief course through his body. aiden just patted his sister's back and chuckled, he was already planning to tease her later to exercise more. ben just stood there and regulated his breathing before looking at everyone, making sure they were all unscathed from earlier.

ashlyn clenched her eyes shut and breathed deeply before opening them again. she took a good look at every one before speaking. "alright, let's head to the bus." she said loudly for everyone to hear. one by one, they all straightened up and walked to one of the school buses. as each of them entered, they all placed their weapons inside a wooden crate by the driver's seat.

aidhel plopped herself on the seats by the back tiredly and yawned, "goodness i'm tired." she muttered out loud. frances rolled her eyes before looking away from the girl as she sat on the back. logan sat in front of frances and leaned his head back to the window, wanting nothing more but to sleep in his room. aiden and ben sat together, while ben seemed like aidhel and was ready to sleep again- aiden was a different case beside him.

"ugh.." tyler groaned out loud as he sat beside his twin sister. taylor leaned her head on the window and closed her eyes tiredly. tyler closed his eyes as well, head thrown back on the seat as he sighed. "that sucked." he continued gruffly.

"that's an understatement." frances commented making logan chuckle in front of her. ashlyn just kept quiet and slowly took her boot off. her socks had already been torn off and blood seeped through the fabric. she groaned softly and closed her eyes, her hands massaging the sore spot on her foot.

suddenly, the noise from afar disappeared as they slowly got comfortable on the bus. ashlyn raised a brow and opened her eyes, "the banging stopped." she said out loud before slowly putting her boot back on.

aidhel slowly sat up and frowned, indeed it got quiet. tyler swatted his hand to brush it off, "it probably gave up.." tyler said but paused when he heard something. "or something?" he drawled out slowly. ashlyn froze before suddenly sitting up when her ears heard something.

the others had also perked up getting alarmed, if ashlyn reacts like that, it is not a good sign. suddenly, the bus shook as if someone had gotten on. they all froze because that could only mean one thing and they turned to the entrance with matching petrified looks.

entering the bus was the black monster from earlier. it seemed to grin when it saw the scared looks on their faces. taylor widened her eyes, "how?!" she exclaimed in pure shock as she stared at the monster. tyler immediately moved out of the seat and pulled her behind him. they all quickly moved out of their seats and huddled close together. frances gripped logan's hand and stood close to him. aidhel was now encaged behind aiden and ben while ashlyn was at front.

with every step forward the monster took is one step backward they did. until logan's back slowly hit the back of the bus. aidhel squirmed in between aiden and ben to hold ashlyn's hand. she knew that the girl was petrified right now and wanted nothing more but to comfort her. aiden looked down at his sister and put his arm out in front of her and used his other hand to hold ashlyn's arm.

"can we open the back door??" ashlyn called out, glancing at the back worriedly. sweat trickled down the side of her face, and her hands was slowly getting clammy but aidhel paid no mind. logan quickly turned to try and open the back door like ashlyn had said so but failed. seems like something was pressed up against the back of the bus. "its blocked!" he called back up to her.

frances frowned and crept closer to logan, sharing worried glances with the spectacled boy. "what do we do??" she asked out loud, her eyes darting back and forth to everyone that was infront of her. their crate of weapons was too far for them to reach. the monster was already too close to them, even if they attempt to distract it while someone else go for the crate, the situation is not sure to be harmless. its a risk they are not going to take.

"die?" aiden said bluntly as he stared at the monster with a nervous smile. aidhel turned her head at his brother and hit his shoulder, "aiden!" they all chorused out not liking his unserious answer one bit.

the monster seemingly tired of their antics, sprinted towards them with its claws high up in the air. they all let out high pitched screams and pressed on each other in fright. aiden clutched ashlyn and aidhel close to him. ashlyn just clenched her eyes shut and gripped onto aidhel's hand. ben held frances and logan closer to the group much like tyler did on the other side with aidhel and taylor, who hid in between the space of her brother and aidhel.

was this it? is this how they'll die?

[faustinio27]

I saw you mentioned an interest in questions!

Here's two of mine:

How was Bonnie 'born'? When did you first start to come up with her?

How is she the same as Faustine (I'm going off memory for your OC's name, I'm so sorry if I mis spelled)? How is she different?

Hi! Thank you for your questions!

1) As Faustine's story is rather heavy and dramatic, I needed to counterbalance it with a lighter character (for the seak of my mental health lol). It cames first with this idea that I got (read below), when I was reading the webtoon Your Throne. I love the dynamic between the protagonists, Medea and Psyche (Bonnie is heavily inspired by her), and I wanted to have a romance with these kind of personalities. But I'm crying blood because I don’t know how to write romance, and I ended up developing more about Bonnie's family that is all dramatic rather than her relationship with Imelda 😂

2) The same as Faustine: they're both introverts and have a BIG passion for one particular thing (Faustine = books and Bonnie = plants). They both struggle to defend themselves, but in a different point: Faustine is a people pleaser and seeks approbation, Bonnie has a higher self-esteem while remaining humble, but she finds it harder to face her family. Also they love forests and calm activities, althought Bonnie is more sociable than Faustine.

A main difference between them is that Faustine has more of the codes of the modern heroine: she is courageous, fights, lives extraordinary adventures, has ambiguous values about good and evil, is more androgynous, etc. Bonnie is your typical old-Disney-princess coded: she's pretty, can sing and play the harp, is very feminine, and can been percieved having a """passive""" personality. But my goal isn’t to prove that one is better than the other: both are women with different morals and traits. Bonnie is no less courageous than Faustine, her struggle is simply different (like, she's Cinderella-coded and I hate how everyone spit on her when I found her extremely brave against her step-mother). But I also like to break these codes: Faustine loves being pretty, and she's not interested in sex or romance like the "badass heroines" who are often sex-free. Bonnie is more bold/teasing in her relationship and loves things considered repulsive, like spiders (not really ladylike).

Also Faustine is based on my gameplay and the choices I've made during the game (so she inherit a bit of my traits) when Bonnie is full oc
