So!! I did (my first) art study on the amazing artist @shootingstarrfish (<- check them out!!)

I wanted to try an artstyle completely different from mine, and I'd been a huge fan of their art. I thought it would be a cool way to challenge myself!

My first attempt at mimicking was the one on the left. Then I tried to mimic their style without my notes to see if I could make 'my' Levi in their style too! And then ofc the little goobers, the silly scrunklies too

Solo versions:

Mini Bonus:

these are just two but I made over 5 notes telling myself to use brighter/saturated colours 🤡

I never realised just how desaturated GiaB Levi is 😭

Ghost in a Birdcage - DC x DP AU

I got a name for the Au! I am referencing the song Rule #4 Fish in a Birdcage as the title. I thought the song actually fit this whole au pretty well so yeah :D

Anyway, I told y'all I was working on stuff and part of it was this (plus the memes, which I'll share later) as well as thinking of a design for my Danny in this AU. I have a few ideas, but I'll probably work on the story itself before actually solidifying it.

Here's a little bit of sadness and softness from the past in this AU. Idk if this will be put into the main story, but it's just a general short story that is canon for this au.

Small sniffles filled the room. Jason's gaze shifted toward his little brother, a frown overtaking the anger that'd been apparent on his own face. Danny, his precious little brother, was laying on the mattress on the ground beside him. Turning and scooting closer, Jason's hand lightly landed atop slightly wet and messy curls.

"Danny, are you feeling better?"

He could see the younger open his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by coughs. Along with the coughs, a loud clattering noise came from the door that had been locked from the outside. Gritting his teeth, the instant yelling from outside telling them to shut up making him look toward the door. Really, almost three years, and Catherine still couldn't accept that a toddler was going to be loud. Danny wasn't even loud on purpose! Huffing in silent rage, Jason's eyes fell back on his little brother.

Danny was staring up at Jay, his eyes wide in slight fear at the yelling, but he knew his brother would protect them. He was very small, almost 4 now according to Jason! But he was also very smart. His brother told him that a lot, especially when he hid away when the yelling or fights started. Danny liked to be smart. He didn't like seeing the other with new injuries though, but Jason let him put bandaids on them, and then he would take them out to the library.

The library was nice.

Catherine, that's what Jason always called the angry lady, didn't like to go in there. She didn't like to go anywhere with them, but Jason liked to take him places so it was okay. They didn't go places when sick though...so why was Jason getting some of his stuff?

"We're gonna go to the library buddy."

Seeing the smile that crossed the kid's face, the tension in his shoulder's loosened, but with the loud rattling of the door and cursing, they were right back to how they were before. Getting up quickly, he shoved what he could into a little bag and helped Danny up, the small boy coughing again.

"CALEB DANIEL TODD I SWEAR WHEN I GET THIS DOOR-"

Jason didn't let Danny hear the rest of it, carefully getting them both out onto the fire escape. He knew Catherine had been...less than ideal. His father was worse. But now with Willis gone, she didn't hold back. Half the time she wasn't home, the other half the time Jason was keeping her away from Danny. Sometimes he wished she just wouldn't come home, or that Danny wouldn't be in danger because she did.

So he made a plan. He was gonna get Danny a better home. A safe one. Except, when he'd gotten sick and wasn't getting better with the cold medicine he stole, Jason's plans didn't matter so much anymore. Danny needed somewhere to get better, but he needed a way to do that first. He'd found a way...though he didn't like it.

Carrying the younger on his back, the backpack slung over his front while a star blanket Jason had actually bought for once was draped over them both. Danny was watching the people they passed by, a small but nervous smile on his face before he inevitably hid his head in the crook of Jason's neck. "Jay Jay..." The elder hummed, feeling the smaller hands tighten for a moment after. "Is Cat-rin gonna be mad at you again?"

Slowing for only a second, Jason scanned the area before looking at his brother. Danny was too smart for his age, and Jason knew it was because of their stupid 'parents'. "She's not gonna have the time to be mad at me..." He trailed off, the lump in his throat stopping him from saying anything else until they were already in front of the Library. Slipping through the door when a young adult couple was leaving, too distracted in their conversation to notice the two poor kids, they made their way to a small dusty nook.

The nook itself was filled with old books that most no one wanted to read, and the librarian who'd seen them reading there tended to leave them be. Setting Danny down, Jason held up a finger, turning to go get some better books from elsewhere. A small sneeze made him chuckle, knowing his little brother hated how dusty it was when they hadn't been back for a while. Slipping through the isles he got himself some bigger books, and a few picture books for Danny. He knew the kid would read one or two before asking for Jason to read him his books, so he'd started picking light-hearted stories or classics whenever the two came.

Making his way back and sitting down, Jason passed the smaller storybook about stars to his brother, watching Danny's expression almost glow at seeing it. At first, Jason let himself be absorbed in his own book, the only thing other than it he paid attention to being the gentle pressure that was Danny leaning against him. It was after a little while that Jason realized Danny hadn't started to bug him like usual. Looking over from his own book, he saw Danny staring at one of the pictures of a constellation.

"Do you wanna learn more about the stars?"

He'd jumped, but Danny had nodded after a moment. Something was bugging him, Jason could tell, but he wasn't about to push it. Instead, he smiled and grabbed one of the nearby books. It was a much older book, more of a journal really, but it held a bunch of sketches of the constellations. So the two sat there, whispering to one another in the privacy of the little nook. Jason was glad he knew some astrology, and Danny was so genuinely amazed, that he could ignore the lingering pain from old injuries that hadn't had time to heal.

Feeling a small tug, Jason looked toward Danny, frowning slightly when he saw small tears. "Jay Jay...are you gonna go somewhere?" He could feel the pit in his stomach knot even more at that, staring for a moment before a wobbly smile tried to cover his face.

"...What?"

A sniffle caused the smile to fall. "Danny, hey, buddy, I'm not going anywhere...I- I'm gonna find somewhere better for you though. Somewhere where you'll get to feel better and not be afraid." Looking down as Danny's small tears covered his face, he gently used his sleeve to wipe them away, knowing he would never have the heart to lie to him. "That's not gonna happen yet though...and when you have a nice home, I'll make sure to visit. We can read and look at constellations too."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'll do everything I can to try and keep that promise, alright?"

"Promises are hard to keep..."

Jason felt a sigh escape his lips, putting the book fully to the side and pulling Danny in for a hug. "They are...but just because they are doesn't mean that I won't try my best." Holding onto the younger, he felt the tears soak through the shirt on his chest, ignoring it. After Danny had stopped crying, he moved the boy back, hands on his shoulders. "If I can't keep my promise, you can get back at me." The small gasp from that made him laugh.

He seemed almost offended that Jason had said such a thing. "I don't wanna!" Jason tried not to laugh more, ruffling the younger's hair. "If you don't" —he was clearly thinking deeply about a suitable punishment— "then you have to help me." A proud smile formed on his face. With a slight smirk, Jason pulled the other back onto laying on his chest.

"Help ya with what?"

"With family."

It was quiet for a moment, Jason's fingers twitching for a moment before he started messing with Danny's hair. "How so little mans?" Danny seemed even more confused, pursing his lips as he kicked his feet some. Watching him with a small smile, Jason couldn't help but think this was the reason he'd survived so long. Danny was the one good thing in his life that had no strings attached. He was fine with that...but he needed Danny to be alright, even if it meant not being right there.

"You gotta help us have a BIIIIGGGG family. With more sib-a-lings!"

There was a snort from the older, ruffling Danny's hair. "You said it wrong you little dingus." Danny's own laughter erupted from him after a moment, swatting Jason's hand away. "But sure. If I break my promise, then I'll help you get a big and nice family." The toddler seemed to absolutely beam at that. "However! I still get to be the best brother-" Danny giggled at that, "and if anything is ever wrong you come to me, no matter what. Alright?"

With a happy nod, Danny's hair was once again ruffled up by Jason, the laughter filling up the small area they were in. Even when a few older ladies glanced over, not a word was spoken to the two. And when the librarian found both boys sleeping...well, if she gently readjusted the blanket they'd brought and let them sleep it was between her and the other librarians.

Thinking about Matt from GIAB today my genderfluid icon I should rewatch GIAB just for him (she’s the real Stella rose trust)

[phony-superstar]

UPDATE

SOTW is not abandoned. In fact, I'll be posting today!

I think without full understanding at the time, the task of completing a story like SOTW became very daunting. So, I just stopped writing. My drive just fizzled out. It went from "I'll just take a break today" to weeks of nothing, and I feel extremely guilty for that.

But, I've begun writing again, and we are moving forward like a train with no breaks 😶

Side note,

Who the fuck is going to write about PAUL MAUD'DIB ATREIDES???

LISAN AL GIAB.

I'm too busy. Someone else do it for me.

GiaB 1 Year Aniversary!

It's been officially 1 WHOLE year since I started posting my fic "Goldfish in a Bottle" on Ao3! In that timespan I have gotten amazing readers who have supported me through all that time by reading, kudo-ing, commenting and even making ART for this story. Hitting crazy milestones like 700+ kudos and 16k+ hits!

I would have never imagined that this silly AU of mine would have gained any attention at all. I thought of it as something to share if people would like it alongside me, but never thought I'd have fans waiting for updates?? Insane.

I have said it so many times by now you must be sick of hearing it, but genuinely thank you to everyone who has been reading this story of mine. I wouldn't have had the motivation to get this far without you guys. I appreciate all of you so much, my lovely readers you have no idea <3

Ps, the Q&A will be shared in individual posts, you guys asked so much!/pos (please note there is a little delay to these posts, as a sudden private matter popped up)

{alternative versions of the art under the cut}

Please mind I haven't drawn a properly rendered drawing in like a year,, but I had to get something out!

Me when I'm in a drawing the sizes inconsistently competition and I am there.

[ackackh]

100% ripping off the ask about your ocs in DOGSTAR (which i'm enjoying a LOT rn), but i loved how detailed you got in that answer, and i'd also love to hear about how you came up with the ocs in your generation kill fics (al, clem, tanya, judy, the inimitable tulip) and how you shaped the roles they take up in each of the canon characters' lives. i'm also realizing that those are a lot of ocs to talk about and i'm more than happy if you only want to pick one or some!

Ohhh! No, we love ripping off asks here, it’s very welcome. Thank you for reading DOGSTAR.!! I’m happy you’re enjoying it!

Also that’s a really interesting question (for me lol) because a lot of those guys came to me as if in a fever dream so who knows!! I’ll try and think through it here.

So first, I’ll say that Tanya and Judy are maybe the irl names of Wynn’s kids? But now that I’m thinking on it, I have literally no idea where I got that information from, so maybe it’s just one of those popular fanon things? I’m not sure. But yeah, I like kid characters, interacting with them is a really simple way to show a characters tenderness or patience or lack there of, plus they tend to wear their emotions on their sleeves and I like playing around with that.

Same thing with Tulip (Soph) I was just so excited to write dad!Walt the rest kind of fell into place around her. That was my first GK fic and I wrote it in like a couple days while in college and I had a friend/hall mate then who had a little sister who was maybe three at the time. She was crazy smart for her age and I’m sure some of her bled over into Sophia naturally. I don’t think I have the document for it anymore, but once upon a time there was a half-finished sequel to that fic that was mostly about Ray and Walt co-parenting Sophia through pre K, and Ray having self-doubt about being her father. It was fun but I have no idea what happened to it!

Al, my beloved! I just love the idea of Brad being a little brother. Like, he’s competent and smart and capable of some crazy shit, but then he goes home and it’s like. Baby. You’re the baby now, get used to it loser. (As the baby myself, this happens a lot and it’s equally flattering and frustrating). I originally wrote her into a WIP that will probably never see the light of day, and I knew I wanted her in WTSN/DWDY so I just stole her from one fic and put her in another! She’s able to read Brad for filth, she knows him too well, it’s basically a liability for Brad at this point lol. I just think he deserves someone who will never ever ever buy his bullshit. And still loves him so much.

OKAY. I don’t mean to have favorites. BUT I have favorites. The ocs in God Is a Bluegill are so dear to me, I can’t help it. Pleasant, Clementine, and Goody are sooooo !!! So, I don’t want to go into too much detail about Clementine and Goody because spoilers, honestly, but Goody is a war vet and pretty fucked up from it. He was at the Battle of Shiloh (which you can look into if you like, but all to say, it was nasty and some crazy shit happened afterward) and he meant to go home and find his family after the war was over, but he didn’t. He felt too changed and he just sort of picked up his life and moved around for a while before settling (rather recently) in Lebanon. So, he carries a lot of guilt. He changes a LOT during this story, so. That’s all I’ll say for now.

Clementine was inspired by… I can’t remember her name, but she’s the lady who hires the magnificent seven in the remake with Chris Pratt? That film was the original catalyst for this story but it has since grown into its own thing, if you couldn’t tell lol. (Also pls don’t judge, I didn’t know how fuckin weird Chris Pratt was back then, but Ethan Hawke was so good in that film I still like it!!😭) Clementine is a kid who had to grow up too fast and there is no adult/parent figure for her to cling onto. And she’s not gonna get one. She’s a woman (girl) (she’s only 19 goddamn it) who is gonna be her own hero if it kills her. Ray’s heart is too big and he cares for her entirely too much already, he feels bad for her! He pretends to be all hard (and he kinda is in this fic ngl) but he just sees this kid who’s lost and he wants to help her. I think he sees himself in her, bc he also had to grow up too fast, had to fend for himself more-or-less from like 15 on.

Pleasant is Ray’s savior. Like, in a world where he doesn’t have Brad at his side constantly (yet) she is his opposite in a way the completely rounds him out. And every time since they’ve met, every time Ray has gotten himself into trouble, she’s either gone right in after him or rescued him entirely. She’s often the voice of reason and she can read him like a fucking book. Like in chapter 1, the second she saw him looking at Walt she knew the boy was gone. Conversely, she has to navigate a world that is incredibly hostile toward her and Ray is determined to kick in any doors that are shut in her face. She can take care of herself, she’s arguably as strong or stronger than Ray, but there are some things that are just not gonna come to her as a black woman after the civil war. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I view them as inseparable siblings, would die for each other.

HEY ANON! If you read this (tumblr is dumb sometimes about notifications) thank you for your patience as I go through my inbox after months of this sitting in my drafts. Love you!
