“The Pokémon villains should work together…” “The Pokémon villains should fight each other…” Listen, the Pokémon villains should all be locked in a huge house together to see who loses their mind first.

The Pokemon villains should be trapped on an island and left to kill each other battle royale style

I’m sorry to hear that you aren’t doing well. Aside from donating, is there anything else we can do for you?

To be honest I just like checking my activity half the time, seeing comments/asks/messages etc and seeing the same names hanging around, to me that means I'm doing something right! Buuuut if you want suggestions, I do like gift art! 🖤

Speaking of that, for those that don't know I have moved to @archer-kacey so if you want to drop a follow there I promise to be just as questionable and chronically unserious as I always have been!

Devilman Crybaby meets Marvel’s Venom in Exordia, the science fiction debut of Seth Dickinson, author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant. 

Ssrin Character Illustration by Julie Dillon

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Meet Anna Sinjari, a refugee and disaffected office worker eking an existence in New York City. Her life is about to be upended by Ssrin, an alien with eight serpent heads, no qualms with cold-blooded murder, and an appetite for turtles (yum).

The universe is governed by seven passions, seven patterns which appear again and again, across species and across time. Anna and Ssrin are bound by the last and the greatest. The cosmos itself ships their very souls. Specifically for them, that means they’ll have to outmaneuver spies, armies, and government agencies to save humanity from a diabolical alien entity, hellbent on pinioning the souls of every creature on earth.

Exordia is expansive adventure science fiction that reads like a race-against-the-clock thriller in the vein of Michael Crichton, but steeped in the irony, humor, and pain of the Internet age. An alien-human epic for those who've always rooted for the monster.

Are you a good cook? (Sandwiches, curry, Pokepuffs, etc.)

No. The best meal I have been able to cook on my own is pre-packaged ramen.

The Regretful Bite

requested by @hardcorecryptidwitch enjoy!

The event happened so fast…

He was just trying to impress his friends like always and pick on his little brother. When one of them thought it would be funny to make Evan kiss the animatronic. He didn’t mean for Evan to get hurt…he didn’t want to kill him, didn’t hate him like how the public thinks now. His father wouldn’t even look at him, much less talk to him. His sister, Elizabeth is afraid of him. She won’t even come out of her room hardly. It wasn’t like this family was ever close to begin with. Their mother abandon them when Elizabeth was just a baby sill. Their family hardly took care of them, not even his favorite. Him and Evan never could get along, manly his fault. Me would yell, hit, and break his things in front of him. Probably because that’s how he was treated by William growing up.

Seeing his brother being taken away to the ambulance made him want to change his life around, to be a better brother for the both of them so they can have someone there for them. He had spent weeks praying to a god he doesn’t believe in to help his brother, he even got down on his knees in prayer. In those also tried to let Elizabeth know how much he cares about her but she never heard him out. The prayers didn’t seem to work ether because he overheard his dad on the phone talking to a nurse, telling him that they’d have to make a choice soon. They’d have to say goodbye to Evan.

He hasn’t been able to sleep much since but tonight has been worst and plague with sadness and his new typical feeling of guilt. All the time he prayed for his brother to make it was a waist and unanswered. Was their even a god to pray to? If there was then he was a cruel one.

That morning he skipped breakfast entirely again. He’d hadn’t been hungry much these days and today was no different. Eventually William got everyone in the car to say their last goodbyes. There was no words exchange in the ride. No music ether. William was silent as he drove to the hospital, his face was expressionless unlike his sisters. Michael had caught a glimpse at her and knew she had been crying, causing him more guilt. He didn’t just take away a life. But her brother and best friend as well. Evan was more closer to her then him and now she had no one really. He spent the rest of the whole ride thinking that.

Once they arrived at the hospital Michael let Elizabeth and William go in first to say their goodbyes. They didn’t need his killer in with them. Out in the wall way he could hear Elisabeth crying as she shares a few stories with no one in particular. Evan couldn’t hear and he knew their father wasn’t listening or really cared for that matter.

Around half an hour later William and Elizabeth walked out of the room. “We’ll be in the car Michael.” He said without looking at his oldest son or even stopping for an answer.

Michael nodded and stepped In side the hospital room. There he could see the body of his brother. His head was covered in bandages and his face pale. Michael blinked back tears as he approached closer to his bed side. “Evan…Evan I’m so sorry.” He mumbled but to who he didn’t know. His brother was gone and he couldn’t hear him. It was all his fault. He truly was a monster. He tormented his brother and then killed him. “I’m so vary sorry…” the tears began to Fall down his face.

But something happened that made Michael paused. There was a slightest moment Evan made that Michael thought his eyes were playing tricks. Surely Evan couldn’t more? He hasn’t moved at all since the bite. Nothing else happened for the longest minute of Michael’s life that he had begun to believe it was a trick but then Evan moved again and then again. This time he moved his hand to his head. He stood there staring at his brother in total shock! Evan was moving! He was alive! It was a …a miracle!

“Nurse!” Michael called out as he ran to the door. “Nurse come here quick! His moving!”

The nurses rushed in as Michael explained to them what he saw. “He moved! He’s alive! “ he shouts.

“Don’t get to excited.” One replied as she leads Michael out of the room. “These things can always turn out bad.”

The nurses spent a while examining Evan making sure he was in fact going to make it and concluded he was. They waited for the doctor to make the final decision and went to tell the family. Michael saw the doctor approaching them and got up as did his sister and father. “Mr. Afton your son is a miracle!” She said with a smile. “Where going to keep him here a few more day to keep an eye on him but if all goes well he could go home.” He’s father nodded as his sister went into the room again.

Michael followed her as the doctor talked to their father more and could hear them talking. Elizabeth did most of the talking with Evan talking a few word’s every so often. He had decided to let her have the time first. He could wait.

All did go well and Evan got to come here. Once he stepped foot in the door Elizabeth hugged him tightly. Michael glances from the kitchen were he was cooking Evans favorite meal. Poor thing was still wearing the bandages on his head. Fresh ones but still wearing them. When he approached them he saw the fear is his eyes and worry in Elizabeth’s eyes.

“Hey…I know I wasn’t the best brother to ether of you…” Michael began, kneeling down to them. “But….I want you two to know that I will for now on.” He looks at one then the other. “I will make sure your both are safe and happy.”

Elizabeth looks at him. “You cant be good. Not after this.” She then leads Evan his room, leaving him behind. He sigh’s believe that to be the truth.

—-

A few weeks later William made them all return to school. Michael figured it was because to get them out of his hair. He never once cared about their grades but he insisted they were ready to. The next morning they were all getting ready for school and daycare, Michael went to Evans door and knocked on it. Evan opened it a crack after a minute and froze. Something told Michael he wasn’t expecting him to be there when he opened it. “Hey-uh..” he began.”

“P-please don’t hurt me again…” Evan replied, voice trembling in terror. That made Michael felt bad again and the nightmare replayed in his mind. Blood, so much blood. the sound of bones breaking and his screaming brother going limp.

Michael shook his head and looked at Evan. “Yea…about that…I know I haven’t been the kindest brother to you or Elizabeth….but I never wanted to hurt you…I-I didn’t mean for that to happen..” tears threatened to pour down his cheeks but he fought them back. “I promise for now on I will protect you and Elizabeth from harm.”

Evan didn’t look like he believed him but he nodded mostly out of fear and left him for class.

The day dragged on for Michael. Everyone was afraid of him. The teachers looked at him as though he was a criminal, even his old friends didn’t talk to him. Michael didn’t care though he realized they were bad influence on him. Once school was over he gathered his belongings and went to find his brother. Once he did he saw he was being bullied by a group of three. Calling him the undead and making fun of his injury. Michael got pissed and went over. “Hey! You three leave my brother alone!” He shoves the main one away.

“Why do you care?!” The kid ask. “You almost killed him!”

That made Michael see red and he swings at the kid. It ended up in a fight bother of them throwing punches at the other as an audience grows around them. Pretty soon the fight was stopped by the principal and both Michael and the other kid got suspension.

William Didn’t even care that his son got into a fight just that he won the fight. Evan didn’t show it but honored that his brother did that. It made him respect him a bit. Maybe he did want to change after all.

This advertisement is for Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne, a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen’s private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after…if only the world would let them. Cover art by Irene Huang.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters…all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.

But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum.

Do you have any headcanons on Evan Afton?

Hmmm…maybe a few? I like to headcanon that Fredbear was his favorite because of the way Henry portrayed him while wearing the suit. So he absolutely loved when Henry would do the Fredbear voice, it cheered him up. I also like to think that he looked up to Michael and they actually had a lot of fun when Michael wasn’t scaring or bullying him. He also got along with Elizabeth most of the time as well. I also headcanon he was closer to his siblings than his father.

Sorry I don't know this, but where did the toon Alice in your AU come from? (She's very cute!)

Ah don't apologize, I actually never explained this!

The first time we see Alice Angel in my au is with Twisted Alice (Susie) in heavenly toys. Susie doesn't miss the chance to have a perfect toon to use for her own perfection, so she take with herself the alone and scared toon pretending to be nice and the only one who could protect her.

Then when Henry arrived in the angel domain Susie manages to convince Alice that Henry "the creator" is a dangerous liar and responsible for what happened in the studio.

Later Alice will be able to see beyond Susie's lies and join Henry’s group. Then the Golden Seraphim makes her appearance.

Allison!

which batim character should i draw next?

[wally-franks-stan]

Okay, now I'm curious. Why does Susie think that Sammy is out of her league?

She thinks she’s a bit of a nobody compared to him. He has a successful career, he’s well known and respected in the music world, he’s received a few awards at this point and probably will receive more. She just feels like he has no reason to notice her.

…also she thinks he might be gay.

Thank you, Em!

Real Gone wasn't in my head until I saw this, but that was one of my favorite songs off the soundtrack. I am 8 years old again. I am playing the video game on my brother's Playstation 2 during summer vacation. I am happy. I am free.

Usually, when I have a song stuck in my head, it's Sleep Token. Could be any of their songs, but this one is the most common:

Honorable mentions to their songs "Jaws," "Blood Sport, " "Elucid," and "The Summoning."

@than487 @peachypede @wardenswateringhole @cupcakestreets @matchasilver @standardizedbogey @hardcorecryptidwitch @juleteon @ronkeyroo @juulz

Would any of you guys like to add? You don't have to if you'd rather not.

Starting a new post bc that one was getting long but @desmon1995 tagged me and asked what song was stuck in my head and its this one lmao. I am not immune to the cars soundtrack.....

Tell me about the blue ink!

👀 ohoho I’m so glad you asked, but it’s spoilers, so under the cut it goes!

The blue ink is something that started appearing after Sammy’s 418th loop, and at first he had absolutely no idea what it was. And apparently, for a little bit, only he and Jack could see it. It started becoming more visible to the others as the loops went on.

Sammy ended up discovering that the blue ink could help him “fix” incomplete ink creatures when he accidentally separated Susie and Allison. Both of them had bits of music written on them, afterwards, both bits to “Lonely Angel”.

After all, no cartoon is complete without it’s music :)
