Can we see what your interpretation of beast machines rhinox please

I plan on sketching that up very soon actually! I've been thinking a lot on how I want to do his technorganic form, but I was struggling a bit because BM Optimus has a very similar facial structure to BW Rhinox. While I want to preserve the original feel of a character from their original in BW (for the ones that don't appear in Beast Machines already) I also want every character to look distinct from one another.

If you want a little preview of what I have planned for him, I will be heavily referencing the unused design for Rhinox from Transformers Hero (which eventually became Transformers Animated)

The first image here is from the Allspark Almanac, so not sure the artist's name who did the prototypes, but the second sketch is by character designer Watanabe Yoshihiro

He will still be a rhino, of course (with a possible semi-vehicle mode much like my Rattrap rework) but I just really like this overall shape for him and I think it would suit him quite nicely.

raises you sephiroth in victorian goth attire (from that ask with the juri robe)

Not quite goth and not completely victorian but this sparked some sort of animalistic desire to draw seph in house of worth coats in me. + bonus aerith

Love how i’ve been clocked as a fashion history liker lol 😭 i love rgu and anyone who mentions rgu to me gets +500 points in my mind. Also to me seph is a bit juri coded. Pathetic futch lesbian. So cool and good with a sword but secretly soooo sooo lonely and patehtic……

THANK YU FOR ASKING…!1!111!!!!

[David] never demonstrated any affection or gratitude after we parted. He fired anyone who mentioned my name. Pictures of us together were destroyed. He would never let it be acknowledged what I had done for him.

thinks about the thought of fiancé!nanami and fem reader

౨ৎ .ᐟ .ᐣ — blurb hcs(kind of ), fluff, suggestive,

a / n — trying out a new style of gradient so let’s just pretend this post is a test run lol

fiancé!nanami wants everything perfect for his future wife. He doesn’t care how crazy or illogical, this is your wedding he’s planning and a special day for both you and him.

fiancé!nanami doesn’t mind who gets invited to his wedding. Usually he would groan at gojo satoru being invited to things organized by him but when you give him a sympathetic look fluttering your lashes.

“I’m sure satoru’s adult enough now to get invited to a wedding baby, I sent an invitation to suguru and shoko so they’ll keep him in check.”

he sighs then looks at you and the empty letter you were gonna write to satoru. With anybody else he would say no, but you’re his woman, his childhood sweetheart.

“only for you, but I feel like just a e-mail would do instead of us doing a thousand letters to our friends baby.”

“I like the effect kento! Makes me feel old school.”

fiancé!nanami knows what his wife likes and has the florist pick only the best orchid’s and peony’s for the venue.

fiancé!nanami has a hard not peaking at your dress fitting so he stays home but always wants updates.

“kento baby, I can’t get you every detail on my dress fitting now! The tailor’s still trying to get measurements.”

“I know I know darling I just want to check up.” that’s such an excuse but it slips off his tongue naturally.

you hum into the phone tapping your nail till you answer.“tell ya what, I’ll give you a detailed description on what my groom will be expecting to see on the big day.”

“wow me.”

“satin dress, goes all the way down to my legs but hugs my curves just right.”

that description was enough for him to pause in the middle of his own sentence.

fiancé!nanami once he sees the dress at the wedding when you’re coming down the aisle with his grandfather leading you down his stotic strong straight face nearly cracks seeing you all glammed up in that long mermaid wedding dress makes him sweat. Not from nervousness but from the fact he may be getting hot seeing your body stick out the way it did in that satin white dress.

once you both kiss and say the vows you’ve promised to one another immediately wants to rush to the honeymoon and skip reception. Seeing even your backside while you’re talking shoko’s ear off while waving you hand to show her the ring on your finger got him flustered. Immediately he was grabbing your hand before you got the chance to excuse yourself from shoko.

Near a lonely wall he was giving you neck kisses making you giggle and stop him for a moment to talk.“I see somebody wanted more kisses but don’t you wanna wait baby? loads of food and I know haibara is gonna wanna talk your ear off.”

nanami didn’t wanna be rude. This was the day you waited but all he could think on is wanting to rip that dress off of you in a hotel room. Scratching the back of his head and rubbing his neck he tsked, would he wait all the time for the reception to be over or skip to the night with his beloved?

he’d rather skip.

“I mean this so much respect sweetheart, but seeing you this beautiful in your gown makes me just wanna jump ship and go to the honeymoon already.” his eyes scoped you from down to up looking at your bust to how the dress flowered down to your legs.

that already got you biting your lip. Seeing nanami in this flustered state while touching at his hair made you wanna immediately follow after him.

“You think the others will mind or care seeing me disappear off?”

“If you tell satoru he won’t give a damn, just make a slick cocky comment and make some excuse to the others.” Nanami wasnt fond on gojo but he knew how he thinks. is

fiancé!nanami is gentle with you on the honeymoon night. As thirsty as he was to just get to that hotel room with you that he specifically got the hotel to set up with champagne and rose petals he couldn’t care less about them.

Taking each arrival of clothing off of you was what he took great care of. Slowly he lifted your bridal veil showing your pretty face, eyelashes batting at him and lips all pouty. His thumb swiped near you lip making you pout.

“You’ll mess up my lipstick kento!”

“It won’t be here for long darling, I can promise that.”

fiancé!nanami treats your body like a work of art to be appreciated on this honeymoon night.He first started by neck kisses just to get you hot and bothered with more kisses in the middle of your cleavage also till you just explode.

“Just do me already kento!” saying it in a immature way but he knew exactly what you meant.

fiancé!nanami that night nanami kento made you happy a bride.

I submitted a suggestion to FFXIV Forums

HERE IT IS:

"I adore FFXIV, but one of the things in this game that is extremely grating is the how alt-unfriendly it is.

I realize people use the excuse of 'we can use all jobs on one character', but that honestly does not appeal to me in the slightest. Most jobs do not work for my character, who I write stories about and roleplay. This same situation applies to most glams, pets, and mounts.

The ironic thing is, I would do far, far more in this game if only it were more alt friendly. I would likely actually try to dive into more extreme PvE content, but as it stands now, it simply is not worth it. A lot of content just does not fit for this character, yet she is meant to remain my main, and I want to do the content on her.

I do not have enough time or want to level up and get through the story on every single alt I want to write a story about, and to have to grind everything out a second time, it makes collecting in this game for people like me pointless.

Therefore, I propose an idea: All mounts should be shared. All hairstyles should be shared. All minions should be shared. In the case of glams, might I suggest a special storage chest that is account bound, allowing you to swap glams to your alt? Quite like 'transmog collections' in other games (and mounts/pets being shared in general).

If the above is considered unreasonable - I think it is fair to at least say we could farm everything multiple times, BUT on a main which then could provide the item to the alt.

Example: A glam drops, you can only use it on one character, but you can transfer it to a different character even if it doesn't apply to the one you got it on.

Example 2: I get a mount drop on this character, don't really want it on this one, put it in my chest to give it to an alt.

Example 3: I have a mount collected already, but get another drop, so transfer it to a different character.

Example 3 would also encourage people to farm even more, because there would be a point to getting multiple drops, as we'd be able to give them to alts.

Please at least consider something like an account bound chest, thank you!"

THOSE WHO WANT ALT FRIENDLINESS IN THE GAME - We'd have to bring it up on the forums, or get the word out there more via Twitter. I use the hashtag #altfriendlyxiv or #altfriendlyffxiv.

Something as simple as being able to mail alts & all shop items being account bound rather than just the non-holiday mounts would be great, in the very least. (Aside from the boosts, obviously.)

The suggestion I had someone leave on the forums is linked here.

Your Dark Glass piece is PHENOMENAL and I need to ask: how the fuck did you draw Dinobot 2 so good? He looks just like the cartoon, the details are on point, and I am humbly asking if you can recommend/share a reference.

(But seriously! It's! So! Good!)

Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad people really like it!

As for what I referenced to get all his little details right, it was a combination of official model art, specific screenshots from the show, 3D mockups for a third party toy of him and (this is probably the most important one) having his original toy in my hand that I can manipulate and look at any part of him at any angle. The details were a little different between all of these sources (the toy is actually packed with way more sculpted detail than his show model) so I combined what details I liked from each until I got a result that looked cohesive.

I'll share what references I used here under the cut. Sadly I can't share the toy, but I did include some photos of it that I found on Google.

Beau Arlen & daughter!reader

Requested by Anonymous

Synopsis: Beau remembers some of your birthdays on your sweet sixteen.

You were three, and everything was princess-themed. Beau’s wife had gotten you this puffy dress that made you look like your favorite princess, all your preschool friends had been invited, and Beau felt like the whole house was pink or purple or glittered.

You’d ran around with your princess friends for hours, but as soon as the presents were open and the cake had been eaten and they were gone, you ran right for your daddy.

Beau had held you in his arms, humming happy birthday to you as he rocked you back and forth. He didn’t even care that there was going to be glitter all over his clothes. This moment was worth it.

…

You were eight, and the theme was How to Train Your Dragon. Beau had made these cardboard dragons for all the kids to “ride”, and you insisted that Toothless was yours alone. You were all dressed up like Hiccup, and all the other kids had picked their viking to be for the day, too.

The kids ran around with their dragons all day before sitting down to watch the movie after cake and presents.

Your mother was busy at work today, so Beau decided to join the kids after he’d cleaned the kitchen. He made his way over to the couch and found an open square to sit in. He hadn’t sat down for two seconds before you were abandoning your seat to crawl into his lap, cuddling up with him to enjoy the movie. Beau just smiled and wrapped you up in his arms, thinking there was no place he’d rather be.

…

You were fourteen, and it was Taylor Swift. Beau had gotten you every album for your record player so you could jam out to them during the party, and everything was once again covered in glitter. You’d invited all of the new people you’d met in your first few months of high school.

Beau was so busy with the heated argument he was having with his wife that he didn’t notice it was past time for the party to start. She was still pushing him about a therapist, trying to make him let go of a grief that was still far too new. He hadn’t wanted it to overshadow your day, but his wife had started making comments again and he just couldn’t keep quiet.

However, he did notice when you got up from your seat on the couch and started for your room. He held up his hand to his wife to stop the argument so he could talk to you.

“Hey sweetheart, where are you going? Isn’t your party supposed to start soon?” He could see your mom rolling her eyes about his sudden change in subject, but he ignored her.

“It was supposed to start a half an hour ago, dad,” you mumbled. “Nobody’s coming.”

“Well that can’t be right,” your mom jumped in. “Maybe the post office forgot to mail your invitations.”

“She passed them out at school,” Beau said, trying to temper his annoyance with his wife so he could focus on you. “Honey, maybe they’re just late.”

“They’re not coming,” you insisted, moving to go to your room again.

“Now hold on,” Beau started, but your mother butted in.

“Well we can still fix this. What do you say we go shopping, huh? Get you glammed up, forget about those high school jerks.”

“No thanks,” you sighed. “I just wanna go to my room.”

“Well, that’s no good,” your mother argued. “We can still have some fun!”

“I don’t want to!” You blurted.

“Hey, easy,” Beau said. He did think his wife was pushing you too far, but he still didn’t want you yelling at her.

“No, it’s fine,” your mom huffed. “She gets it from you,” she muttered to Beau before turning and walking out the door.

“I’m sorry.” Your voice was barely above a whisper, and it came out high-pitched.

“Hey,” Beau sighed, leaning down and wiping the tears from your eyes. “Hey, it’s ok. She’s upset with me, not you, I promise.”

You sniffled and didn’t respond. The room stayed quiet for a minute until your record switched songs and filled the air with the quiet hum of music.

“Ooh, I think I know this one,” Beau said, going to turn it up. “This one’s your favorite, right?”

Your lips twitched, just a little.

“Yeah.”

“Well c’mon now,” Beau said. “You’re gonna have to help me with the lyrics, or I’m just gonna make them up!”

It only took two horrible, horrible lines that Beau made up on the spot before you were giggling.

“No, no!” You laughed. “Daddy—“ Beau’s heart skipped a beat; it had been quite a few years since you’d called him that. “Daddy you’re singing it wrong!”

“Well then you’re just going to have to fix it!” Beau insisted.

You laughed and started singing the lyrics, dragging your dad to the middle of the living room so the two of you could dance along.

The two of you spent three hours like that, dancing and singing until Beau collapsed in exhaustion on the couch, now knowing infinitely more Taylor swift lyrics than he had this morning.

It had gone from the worst birthday ever to the best, with just a little bit of daddy-daughter time.

…

You were sixteen today, and Beau didn’t know where the time had gone. He was divorced now, and he had just moved to be closer to you. He’d had a long argument with his ex about where you’d be going for your birthday, but somehow you’d convinced your mother to celebrate with her tomorrow; he got you on your birthday, and he couldn’t be happier about it.

You’d somehow also convinced him to have your party at the police station—his trailer just wouldn’t do.

Everything was—ironically—cop-themed; you’d stolen your dad’s badge and you were now strutting around the precinct like you owned the place. Pop had set up all your presents on his desk, and Jenny had brought in your cake. There were half a dozen teenagers that had become your friends since you moved, and they seemed to know most of the officers, so there was a lot of mingling going on.

Beau was just happy to see you like this—content, surrounded by friends. He wasn’t used to being here yet, but he figured he’d catch on quick—there were a lot of good people in this room, and he worked well with them.

“Dad?”

Beau turned when he heard your voice.

“What are you doing?”

Beau realized that he’d just been standing in the corner like a creeper, and he tried not to be embarrassed.

“I guess I was just reminiscing. You’ve had a lot of birthdays, kid. Sometimes it surprises me just how many.”

You smiled fondly, and Beau knew you were remembering.

“You always made them special. That’s why I wanted to be with you today.”

“Your mom tries—“

“I know, I mean, I guess. But I don’t want to talk about her. I picked you for today, let’s just have fun.”

Beau grinned; “Hey, give me some of that cake and I’ll start having fun.”

You laughed.

“It’s a deal.”

Whatever Bowie's up to, she's usually right in there. During the tours, Angie was the liason between him and the fans, even going to the trouble of taking down addresses and writing letters. Some fans even got Angie-notes from Japan.
