#good night everyone I'm going to bed

[retired-for-now]

WINNERS:

After a long and harduous battle against 1S, Fresh finally beat up that child came out on top

As much as we all love Inverted Fate, Cross is pretty cool, for a sans

After a week of arguing with his past, Geno self, Error won his poll

For winning a staring contest with local axe-maniac, Horror, Og/Classic/Vanilla/call him whatever moves to another Round (yipee!!)

... but I doubt he'll stand against the destroyer of worlds

Sadly for all the Nightmare Fans (Including me), the octopus lost to local squid guy, Ink

The Council has decided: the best of the two "classic" Aus is Underswap! With Swap winning over Fell by a close margin

The Council strikes again: Anxiety is the better of hheisa's Aus over Mint

I'm not even going to lie to you: I didn't have the heart to vote in this poll, so most of the time I was clueless. Looks like Blueberror won over Science sans tho! Shame, Sci was the first one who got propaganda (and he kinda grew on me in the christmas party au)

After making it in to the surprise of everyone, Slump the Skebump won against a child sans

To the surprise of no one, however, Reaper won against Lust. Why can't he have nice things?

[Insert clever Underverse joke] Killer Vs Dream. Positivity wins, as always

God takes the good souls early, just like how he took Epic from us over Dust. Guess that guy still has some unfinished business huh?

In a not-so-epic epic battle of the underrateds, Farm won, which kinda left Tone a little sad [*look at what you've done.]

You know what? I'm sorta glad Paperjam lost to Storyshift, that guys way easier to draw

In a battle that I honestly sorta forgot about, people decided that Stars were better than Humans and you know what good for them

In the Battle of the Winged, the guy who absorbed like- 8 kids won over the Overzealous Cocky Positive Asshole

Happy Ghouls and Gangs DPxDC Bang event posting week!! Here's what I've been working on for the @dpxdcbigbang 🥰

Summary:

It’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth. He spends it taking care of the manor and watching over its inhabitants, just as he does every other day. It’s an exhausting, never-ending task, that he wouldn’t change for the world. But that night, he is confronted by a stranger in his rooms with a copy of every single soul-binding contract he’s signed for the protection of his family. The new Ghost King wants to update his terms and conditions.

Alfred POV, Ghost King Danny, with some Post-Vivisection goodness and only a little (a lot) of blood and gore and medical fun, but that's for later. Not for the squeamish, please check the tags!!

Snippet under the cut!

It’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth.

He wakes up early enough to be ready to greet Master Duke with breakfast when he shambles into the kitchen, he cleans, he greets the rest of the manor’s residents when they finally make it downstairs, he cleans, he goes down to the cave to rouse Master Tim from another sleepless night, he cleans.

It’s a quiet day, or as much as one can be when the place he calls home is filled with vigilantes.

He drops off Masters Damian, Tim, and Duke at school and uses the rest of the trip to pick up some groceries for dinner. Coq au vin tonight, he thinks, it’ll be perfect for the changing of the seasons. A mushroom and lentil substitute for Master Damian will do lovely.

The rest of the day is spent preparing the meal and doing a spot of gardening before it’s time for the school run again. He can’t help but smile fondly as he listens to them needle and tease each other, only stepping in when it starts to become too pointed.

Yes, it’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth. It’s at night when it all changes.

There’s a ghost waiting for him in his room. 

A soft glow emanates from the creature’s vaguely transparent body and a crisp frost creeps slowly across the floor, sparkling in the darkness like diamonds.

“Mr. Pennyworth?” it says, the voice bouncing off the walls so that it sounds like hundreds of beings instead of one.

Fear squeezes at his heart and the air in the room turns dark and heavy, so that Alfred struggles to breathe. His mouth is dry, his head is swimming, and he’s not entirely sure if he’s going to survive the night.

A bit weird of a request, which you may ignore, but... Charlastor as a Russian meme of your choosing.

I know Alastor came for fun (and a solution to his problems with an inconvenient contract lol)... but what about real wages?

[b4kuch1n]

digital ink comm round 2 done! for @trucbiduleschouettes, Alis, Sygdom, A. MG, @bakugames , F. Thorell, and Grumo.

With this round I've gotten to a decent place buffer-wise and with lunar new year prep, thank you very much to everyone who's commissioned me so far! I want to figure out something for the global strike however, so I won't be reopening digital ink comms until after this week. please stay tuned for that!

[vaxxman]

I'm sorry, but your Medic is the most appealing design I've ever seen of him!! You just draw him so.... shaped??? I dunno, it's just very good!!

This is such a cute message to get, here take this panel I drew today, it encapsulates my flushed reaction.

(There's no way you'll be able to guess the context to this panel)

Welcome to another late night post cause I just finished this doodle✨

[iguessitsjustme]

3 Will Be Free - Circus

Last July I said I would let people choose the next video edit I made and here it is! Thank you for your patience as the polls said I had to make this drunk and I do not drink that often. But I hope everyone enjoys this drunken mess of a video.

20 Questions for fic writers

@acewithapaintbrush posted and said "go for it" so here i am! putting this under a cut because it got long lmao

How many works do you have on Ao3?

33

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

303,124

3. What fandoms do you write for?

dc/batman/birds of prey, with some until dawn and uncharted thrown in there. right now it's mostly one piece though.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

ship to wreck. (one piece/zolu)

ocean breathes salty. (one piece/zolu)

ronald mcdonald eat your heart out. (dc/batman/bruce & dick)

the salt & the sea. (one piece/zolu/reincarnation au)

misery loves company. (dc/batman/jason & damian)

5. Do you respond to comments?

yes! i appreciate them a ton. sometimes it might take me a few days but i try to respond to every single one

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

ooh that's a tough one, because while i like to include a lot of notes of angst, most of the endings have been on decent notes. maybe if you go out in the woods today (until dawn) because it's a vanishing hitchhiker au.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

probably the salt & the sea. (one piece)! i'd like to think all of that build up to the end and the reunion was worth it. (and it was to me, at least!)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

luckily i have not!

9. Do you write smut?

hehe i have and i want to again!

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you have written?

nope! not really my thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

years ago i noticed some similarities in ideas, but nothing too major.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

i haven't!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

i have... considered doing so...

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

since i tend to bop between fandoms, i don't really have one! right now it's zolu, but i also really enjoy the dynamics of the straw hats as a whole. i'm rotating them in my mind like a rotisserie chicken.

15. What is a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i think unfortunately the first op fic i started is going to end up being something the buzzards (me) pick at for lines and ideas. or maybe someday in the far future it will see the light of day. (i started it 70 episodes into my watch and stabbed zoro haha)

16. What are your writing strengths?

i like to think i can convey emotions and character interactions. i also enjoy some of the physicality between them, so i hope that shows as well!

17. What are you writing weaknesses?

balancing out dialogue between a large cast of characters and pacing in action sequences. want to keep enough happening to keep things moving, but not repeat myself four times.

18. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language in fics?

why not, if it works?

19. First Fandom you wrote for?

honestly i think my friend and i wrote twilight parody fic when we were in middle school LMAO

20. Favorite fic you have written?

more recently i'm very proud of the zolu reincarnation au i've mentioned above, but i'm also really, really happy with the way the zoro pining fic ode to an ocean. turned out. that one has a few of my favorite lines in it! (also maybe my next wip ... or who knows)

thanks for the tag by proxy ace!

if they're interested in doing so, i'm tagging @lookforanewangle, @beck-a-leck, @sciencemyfiction, @ghostlandtoo, and @microcomets! (hi claire!)

[roaringroa]

they should make a life where you don't have appointments, work, school and scheduled events every single day for months on end

[lizeon]

every day i spend on twitter, because that's where most of the starmin are, is a day i wish most of that community would move to tumblr just because the way this site works in comparison would be so much better for it. the ability to tag art and be able to find it later on your own blog no matter how far back it was posted. the way you can add on to each others posts. and also i just like tumblers post format much better. especially for making a vague / simple post and then going into more detail in the tags cuz you don't wanna put all that in the main post but like it's there for anyone that wants to read it. on twitter you gotta put it all in the main body of the post and i. do not want to do that

[babyslutbuck]

Buck looking at a pregnancy test in horror bc he doesn’t know who the father is! 😱

well he would assume it is eddie's because that's who he wants it to be and wishful thinking and all that. they're already raising a kid together they already have that family unit. tommy probably won't even ask for a paternity test he doesn't give a shit and eddie will treat that baby like its his no matter WHAT! bc that's LOVE!

[seelie-buddy]

TOMORROW'S MY LAST EXAM WOOHOO

My last seven days have been very exciting

I spent most of my time playing Honkai Star Rail...

Downloading this game again was a huge mistake, but I don't complaining 💥

I downloaded this game again because YouTube's recommendations decided that I would be interested in one character from there, and YouTube was very right—

And actually, our school has already started turning in books, so I'll have more time, which means more art!

I'm plan to spend this summer being very productive, so I hope by then my style will have calmed down again and I'll be able to do something interesting

[quietlyblooms]

i'm going to bed but just remember chiyo will go from cute and demure to sly and feral in a heartbeat <3 just gotta know what buttons to press <3 okay gn mmmmwah!!!
