#honestly i dont know how to draw his hat

name's hancock

click to see the first image at full size!

[image description: two digital drawings. first is of scout's ma as a drag queen. she is posed like the engraving on the side of the ambassador, standing with one leg bent slightly and a smug smile. she holds one open fan in front of her thigh and the other behind her head, both blue and with "Bang!" written in white cursive. the front fan is slightly bloodstained. she wears a navy pinstripe sheath dress that buttons up the front and a detached shirt collar and bow tie. the collar is square, with lapels like a suit jacket. she has blue eye shadow, red lipstick, and sharply contoured cheekbones.

second drawing is of spy sitting at her feet as she lights his cigarette, holding his jaw in her hand. scout's ma wears a lighter blue dress with long sleeves and a back cutout, striped with yellow and dark blue. spy is a drag king is a large black furry coat with light brown trim, a straw hat, pink pants, and a leather harness. /end description.]

shes mama but she also responds to mommy ;)

(she/her pronouns for mama, he/him pronouns for james bondage (drag king spy)!)

the thought process talk got a little long, see more under the cut!

the main inspiration was honestly her beehive and the hand fans in the ambassador engraving and then i ran with it :) was looking at her and thinking that her design is so distinct its fairly easy to keep recognizable (for anyone curious, its the beehive, headband, mod dress, square neckline, belt)

the first design is based off spy films! the ambassador was an incredibly strong influence . i would not call this a masc look by any stretch of the imagination but i was aiming for relatively more masc . i was somewhat inspired by james bond i think? but its not too unique of a look . it can be any spy . it could even be tf2 spy! which is why she has a matching belt and watch

a bit of a relic of the past (as in ideas on the cutting room floor) is that her sleeves are so puffy because i was considering having her dress be made of a shiny material and i like how light looks on scrunchy shiny material :)

the fans say bang because i think it would be incredibly funny to snap them open . dont worry about the blood . i was planning for her to have a gun strapped to her leg but theres no space for it, unfortunately :(

the second is the result of challenging myself to vary her dress a little more while keeping the same silhouette . its not too exciting in changes construction wise! but the back cutout is because i love rendering skin and if the angle permits it then... i was leaning more into the mod dress look with the patterning this time around, its a lot lighter this time around in colors because i deserve more fun coloring this time around! tossed in yellow as the popular accent color of choice .

james bondage is far less inspired whoops . the plan was more or less "i want to make him look like an expensive cat" . the leather harness was realizing i have got to capitalize off the bondage part . i do not know how to feel about the wearing it over a jacket that big

with james bondage i went pose first, then clothes, then clothes on the pose. which is to say, this outfit is probably more exciting without the jacket . whoops!

[image description: digital sketch of spy's full outfit from the drawing of him with scout's ma. obscured details: his black gloves are at opera length with belts attached, the straw hat has a ribbon that match his pants, the pants have two buttons as opposed to one for the fly, and he is wearing ankle length boots with stilettos and red soles. end description.]

Quick ivory twins headcanon edit

Ramble about their headcanons below:

✦·┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈·✦

SECTION ONE: YUGO⋆｡𖦹°‧★

i headcanon yugo to be a lightskin (adamai is a black albino girl) and he has curly hair, but he puts it in braids/ dreads around season 3. He’s cisgender (he/they) and bisexual, as well as polyromantic . He has central heterochromia that develops once phaeris unlocks his powers in the crimson claws archipelago as a side effect of an overwhelm of wakfu, and he has a lot of freckles from being outside so often. Yugo’s allergic to lemon grass and dust, and when he gets an allergic reaction, his wings flare up, and singe his hat, which he sometimes has to repair, so he learns how to sew when young. An example of his hair styles will be below.

(Season one and two)

(Manga-season four part one. Chibi, grougal and alibert helped/made him the accessories)

(Season 4 and onward)

some of yugo’s style influences are like. I dont even know how to describe them honestly, it’s a blend between casual and comfy/ fantasy and like. Formal????

✦·┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈·✦

SECTION TWO: ADAMAÏ𓆉°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Adamai’s changes are so drastic because i want him to look more like his mom; thus he has her markings. I headcanon him as a water/ice dragon, and as a trans woman (she/he). Adamai is allergic to lemongrass as well, and she also has heterochromia, but only in her human form, in which it’s sectoral heterochromia and split between blue and brown. She’s capable of using stasis, but prefers to use wakfu or brute force, and she secretly likes baking more than cooking because yugo is more gifted in the latter. Her pigmentation changes with the environment/season she’s in, going from blonde or darker blue to silver/platinum blonde or lighter blues come winter or snow. In her human form, i headcanon her to be a black albino, and she dies the ends of her hair blue, because she thinks it’s pretty.

some examples of her hair (hair color will be separate) below

(Season 1-2. Not dyed yet)

(Mangas to season 4. Chibi, grougal and alibert helped her with the accessories and she switches them out sometimes with others that she’s been gifted from oropo or others.)

an alternate design for her hair is to be curly and natural but pulled into a bun, like how i normally draw her.

here’s an estimate of her hair dye color.

Her draconic scent is that of blueberries and lemons, as well as the ocean breeze, and she loves collecting seashells, sea glass, anything like that. She’s very tropical, and dresses in a light, island-like style, which is flowy for easier movement. (Examples below)

I dont have an isolated design for her dragon form yet, so these two (the one above and the one below) are what i have so far.

but uh yeah yap session over can you tell which twin i like more

[pumpkinsy0]

I need fluffy papercut hcs for my soul

dont we all,,,

•the have def done that thing where u share a milkshake, they aint have money for two so they shared one, curly jokingly drank out of both the straws at the same time, they were prolly blowin bubbles into it, but point is, they were doin it

•indirectly kissing is literally just their thing, i KNOW it, theyre always sharing stuff

•WHICH IS RARE ON CURLYS END HONESTLY, he fucking hates sharing, but that feeling “just goes away” when hes w pony

•to curly, pony is unironically partially like a mf w a propeller hat, licking their rainbow lollipop, just whimsical

•curly has that laugh that makes pony laugh even more, i feel like if u made curly laugh hard enough he either genuinely sounds like a hyena or like a cleanex bottle

•in gym class curly goes each on pony, notice how i aint say hes safe from curly tho???? thats bc hes NOT, curly just doesnt go too hard on pony and yknow it, considering thats curly??? thats a big accomplishment

•ponys the only person whos been in curlys room outside of tim and angela obviously

•pony likes drawing curly a lot, he feels like curly has a certain look to him thats rare to find in other ppl and he likes capturing that (he stares at curly during class to draw him)

•curly has a secret stash of snacks only pony knows about and can take from, angela knows about it tho she steals some, sometimes she needs a sweet lil treat

•they r that kinda couple would go on those roller coasters who take photos mid ride just to make some silly ass photos

•curly hates poems but pony did introduce him to gothic poetry and if he had to pick a type of poetry, he’d pick those

•pony lowkey smells like curly a lil bit now

•ponys the first and somewhat only non family person curly really really cares about, like ofc he cares for his friend and gang but its a different type of it

•i feel like if pony was to play w curlys hair, curly would thump his leg like a dog

•ponys literally the only person whos had a full on stay at the shepards house, tim and angela wouldnt dare do it w anyone else, shit even dally hasnt rlly stayed over at their house

[raymans-boyfriend]

more suggestive Rayman x reader fic please!

Prison.

Desc: you and Rayman make out while in the Phantoms prison.

TW: VERY SUGGESTIVE.

You had found youself laying on an extremely uncomfortable bed, your back was aching. The room was made of cold, hard metal which made the entire room chilly.

Your body was dawned with Raymans bright purple hoodie. It was made by hand, with the most comfortable cloth.

But.. the thing you we're focused on was the man on top of you... Rayman. His tongue was caressing your mouth, and he was whimpering into your beck.

Ok.. so how did you end up in this situation?

The Phantom had trapped you and Rayman in a jail cell for a movie. Where Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach we're the main characters, attempting to save the both of you from the evils. However, he had genuinely trapped the both of you in a small cell.

He refused to let you two out, saying it would ruin the mood of the movie. Which made Rayman extremely pissy.

He banged against the metal bars, screaming.

"HEY! LET US OUT, BASTARD!" He yelled.

You sat on the bed nearby, watching your boyfriend be the most mad you have ever seen him. It scared you, quite honestly.

Your body then suddenly shivered violently, which caused Rayman to stop. He turned to face you, his eyes widening.

Rayman quickly rushed over to you, and he took off his hoodie to place it on you. The warmth was very comforting, you look up to thank him..

But you become speechless at the sight of his shirtless body..

He had a dad bod, but he was still muscular. Stretch marks dawned his stomach, the marks being a lighter color than his skin. His pecs were droopy, but that just made him even more attractive.

Your heart beat quickened. Damn.. he was hot!

Rayman looked down, his face now dawning a bright red colour.

"Yeah.. i know its not the hottest thing-"

"Youre the hottest person i have ever met.'

The both of you sit in silence, its deafening to your ears.

He then suddenly lifts you up, in a swift move. Rayman sits himself on the bed, placing you on his lab and he grabs your thighs.

"Is... is this ok..." He looks up at you sincerely, his love was very clear at this moment.

"Ye...yeah.." You avoid his gaze, but he makes your own fall on yours by grabbing your chin.

"ahh.. look at me.." He teased in a low voice, before leaning in and kissing your neck. His hot breath felt so good on your sensitive skin. His hands start to massage your thighs, trying to get a reaction out of your mouth.

And when he got what he wanted, a small wimpier, he smirked against the crook of your neck.

"Mmmhh... Yeah... Yeah.."

He then pinned you down to the bed and started to kiss you passionately. At first it was just his lips caressing yours, lingering lovingly.

After a few minutes, his rough tongue is seeking entrance into your jaw. You let him in, his tongue tasted of fruits and your eyes close shut once again.

You're so lost in his gentle caresses.. That you jolt when you feel his cool hand on the small of your back, and you pull away for a second.

"Mmmm.. Sorry hon.." He kisses your forehead, his lips drawing out on your forehead.

Yet, you let him knead your back, and he goes back to smooching your lips.

Suddenly, your make out session is disturbed by Rabbid Mario and Peach breaking into the cell.

"Dont worry! Rabbid Mario is here to save- ARE YOU HAVING-"

The red hatted Rabbit stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened.

"Oh- OH!" He covered his face with his giant mental hands, trying to avoid the situation in front of it.

Beep-o floated in soon after, his LED screen showing a concerned expression.

"WoooAAAAhhhh!"

Rabbid Peach took out her phone, and promptly took a picture.

"OMFG!!! RAYMAN IS IN LOVE WITH Y/N!!! #LOVE#LOVEISREAL#RAYMANISINLOVE!"

Raymans face was red as a beet, and he buried his face into your chest. You tried to comfort him, but then the Phantom came in.

"Ugh.. Who gave me the AWFUL idea of leaving the love birds be in a prison cel by themselves!"

Before Beep-o could respond, The Phantom cut him off.

"Ah... Thats right! Mine! My brilliant mind! Maybe i should question it more.."

----------

It was later in the night, you and Rayman cuddled in your shared hotel room. The bed was big and comfortable, the sheets being made out of the finest cloth.

However, your attention was the crying mess that was your boyfriend in your arms.

Rayman was whimpering loudly, he had gone non verbal due to all the overwhelming emotions. Being caught caused him to have a meltdown, all the eyes on him stressed him out too much.

"Shhh.. shhh.." You pat his head, your voice is soothing.. as not to upset him further, and it seemed to work.

His water filled eyes looked up at yours, a glint of happiness appearing in them.

"Tha-Thank you.."

"You're welcome.."

[the-s1lly-corner]

Hi admin! May I request Proxies, Ben and Ej with a S/O that has albinism?

Also MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU(◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

Proxies + Ben + EJ x reader w/ albinism!

did a similar request for a few other characters; of which contained ej and toby so theyre going to be linked to that post in place of their part! obviously as per admins boundaries toby and ben are written as strictly platonic, the other characters can be read however you wish think i might answer this request and maybe another and then go stretch my legs!

MASKY:

can and will drag you back inside if you decide to go out with zero protection on a particularly sunny/bright/hot day, likely draws the attention of at least one passerby. can you imagine? a jogger or something seeing you stepping out of your home only for a masked man to drag you right back inside, then you re-emerge later with a sun hat and sunglasses. the most strictest(?) with you in regards to self care and making sure you're in the best health, definitely the sternest by far. but he doesnt mean anything malicious by it, promise! hes just very... protective of you and by god if it means going up against you then so be it.. extra quiet when you get migraines but honestly its not much of a difference, he already doesnt make much noise as it and he probably has jumpscared you on accident by unintentionally sneaking up on you... i was going to say he wouldnt offer his jacket but i feel that would contradict the whole "putting your safety first and being protective" thing he has going on... shrugs

HOODIE:

the most chill and accommodating out of them all outside of ej, i think. makes sure you pack your sunhats and stuff if its sunny out, helps you apply sunblock to any harder to reach spots to protect your skin.. also offers to wear his hoodie if you've forgotten something or there isnt any shade available nearby. though this is rare, since its not often that hoodie is just. out and about, unless you guys are in a remote area. offers massages if you feel a little more overworked than usual/have a migraine... might have to work on him having to warn you before just getting into it.. has probably startled you at least once when he just put his hands on your temples and started rubbing circles into them when you so much as slightly expressed some level of discomfort. very blunt and straightforward about it, you know?

BEN:

very likely knows about albinism but i dont think he would know everything about it. all he really knows is the whole "oh you have no/little pigment in your skin/hair/eyes", but anything else? nope, no clue. honestly i can kind of see him being an uninformed jerk in the beginning if you express any problems that you go through (be it medical or societal) but thats more so the dynamic between you two not being.. fully fleshed out/you two not being too close. bens a perpetual teen thats been stuck in a game for who knows how long.. though i do think if given enough time he might try to learn more about albinism, either through you or through his own means.. somehow.. dont look at your search history he totally didnt use your phone. very similar to how i wrote jeff in the linked post, but jeff strictly only learns how to help you cope by paying attention to your routines and mannerisms. he would be die than be caught putting any effort or care into someone else. ben on the other hand isnt as obsessed with his image imo. probably edits your alarms and sets reminders for you to pack your essentials if youre going out

EJ AND TOBY:

[lizaluvsthis]

SMG4: CEO OF RIZZ

To where you needed an alternative title, "Boopkins needs some Rizz"

Person: Hey L- *gets crushed by a piano*

HGG OKAY.... SO... first off I just WOKE up. And our usual spot again is that the coffee shop keeps appearing in the episodes.

(Cough- Brewing Romance is still on the line so when you keep seeing the coffee shop getting shown by the episodes, you'll be darned to not stop thinking about Brewing Romance...)

Three and kaizo are shown, which made it very clear that some of us headcanon three as an uncle and kaizo as the nephew XD

So boopkins has a date with this famous girl and three helps boopkins get his rizz in order to achieve his restaurant getting popular.

No... NO... NOOOOOOOO PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS JUST A COINCIDENCE... PLEASE DEAR GOD- I JUST REDREW THIS MORDETWI MEME... IS THIS A F-CKING MESSAGE?

TELL ME THIS IS A COINCIDENCEEEEE *shakes the person who put it there on purpose*

I noticed the igloo...

... LUKE- LUKEEEEEEE????????????

HOW THE HELL DID I PREDICT THIS JUST BY DRAWING THREE WEARING THE CASINO OUTFIT-

There is just no way... @shygirl4991 SHAY... SHAYYYYYYY?????? THEY KNOW.... THEY'VE SEEN...

Thus... the western hat worn by four still remains there...

I somehow found this one very interesting, I mean- I wouldnt be a shock if it's miku already. Since somehow it's boopkins, and the girl he'd been the one to date are something from fictional stuffs. I never guessed miku but I guessed that it was some anime related.

Then we get- to see this...its a side to side comparisson of how four and three act alot like this when they needed something.

Here comes the begging strategy... so if you put two and two together, they ended up giving them what they wanted with the same "fine" to make that person shut up.

This also leads to how three is never that much aware that his actions in public is drawn attention that he is less destructful and is in his soft side.

Like how he did the same in SMG4 during that time before they both got stuck on an elevator? Three gave him a chance to stop his whining ass. Like he didn't even argue or straight up complained to the blue man, he just basically gave him what he wanted.

This portrays the same thing Miku does as she goes back and returns to the date she has with boopkins.

It'd be a shock if I were to say I weren't that much very cultured on anime stuff but Umaru used to be my favorite childhood show.

Its funny that miku has interests on being a fan of other animes since again- miku is a vocaloid character who sings songs out on public.

When boopkins gave out his moral lesson about "just you being you" and "you dont have to change who you are even tho you're not that much of a gigachad" or sh-t

Because we have three- WHO IS DEFINITELY DONE WITH HIS CRAP- I wouldn't be suprised to this honestly- we already know how SMG3 reacts when boopkins is there, and even with those comments about how he has beef with him about "boopkins bein a loser, he really thinks he's part of the crew"

We pretty much understand how Three isn't a much fan on fiction anime stuff or is even a weeb. Just by looks of Boopkins, he's the one who shows as an openly hearted and a very generous, loyal, kindest creature to have.

But three thinks it's a sh-t because no one else is perfect and that this doesnt matter too much at all to him since EVERYONE is broken enough already.

Which defines him as the emo person in question:

"What the hell is the meaning of life, when you know nothing ever changes shit with where we all still suffered?"

Three is just so desparate enough to run his business and would literally want its popularity get expanded for newcomers to try and welcome themselves from the cafe, mostly enough he'd do anything and EVERYTHING with this power.

That calls out for another hyperfixation.

I never have much to say in this but I somehow found the episode a bit on the neutral side between good or bad-

The episode is... well.... i dunno- interesting, but somehow with attempts on making boopkins "uncharacterize" himself to be a rizzler is weird, but this definitely shows why boopkins doesnt have that kind of rizz SMG3 has.

... *suddenly remembers SMG4 singing that gyatt to rizzler song*

AH-AHEHE-M UHH...

A-anyway- again- my point stands out that Three definitely haz rizz, and Four definitely is lying to the fact that he says he 'doesnt' during the elevator episode.

I'd think about wanting to put Three on a rizz attempt on four still XD (people are gonna go crazy on this)

[dem0nicartist]

Alright it's time

Still need to make reference sheets for them, fully colored and everything

But here they are

The VOIDS

Some of you might remember Collector, an EXE created by my brother. Well, now he has a big family!

Void, the father, is a demon born inside the depths of the void. He needs to feed on human souls to survive. Is he very violent? Yes. But he isnt just killing for fun like most EXEs, he actually needs souls to survive. Of course, the more he has, he more powerful he becomes. Same thing for his children, who I'll talk about in a second.

Luna, the mother, is an angel. Why and how did she fall in love with Void? Now that I honestly dont know. She's just an angel, there's not much lore about her besides the fact that her parents are biblically accurate angels and that she punched Void when she saw him for the first time lol

Collector, the oldest son. It's not the first time he's here. I've talked about him before and nothing really changed besides a few things here and there on his design. Still trying to invade the human realm to cause havoc. He looks a lot like his father, having his void in the same spot and everything.

GameMaster, the second oldest son. My artstyle doesn't make it clear, but he's supposed to be a AOSTH Sonic. He pulls you into the TV and hosts a gameshow, and if you answer incorrectly, you die. His void is in his hat.

DreamCatcher, the middle child. They are nonbinary and the most civil out of all the voids. They put people to sleep and force them to only have nightmares, which eventually leads people to insanity and death. They can also make clouds appear, which they usually use to get to high areas. Their void is in the covered eye.

Pandora, the youngest daughter. She doesnt kill as often as her siblings, but when she does, she becomes even more deadly than her father. Her demonic chao usually does all the hard work and then she turns the remains into dolls, toys and other things for her room. Her void is in her ears.

This is what a sibling fight usually looks like lol

And Void isnt actually a Sonic, that's just a vessel (kinda like Lord X in a way) so he can change it if he wants to. He never does that tho cause it could end like this.

Also, bonus sketches including SecretKeeper, AKA Catcher's partner! Keeper is agender, uses it/it's and it's the one that actually told Catcher everything about gender identity and all. They became friends and it eventually became something else.

No drawings of ArcadeIllusion unfortunately, didnt have any in this sketchbook

[kacievvbbbb]

Hello again...Do you mind if I ask your top 5 (or top 10) favorite moments from any anime (can be series or movies) or manga or if you want, from any media that you love? Thanks if you want to answer.....(Hope you don't mind to get an same from the same person)

Hello again!

Of course I don't mind keep the questions coming. :D

As for my top 5-10 anime moments this was honestly a little easy cause if something clicks for me it tends to stick with me for a long time but here are some just off the dome.

One piece: I actually read this is the manga but in the Skypiea arc during the fight with Enel when Luffy rings the bell and Noland's ancestor hears it, confirming that his ancestor wasn't a liar and then you see the giant silhouette of luffy in the sky that was and still is definitely one of my all time favorite one piece moments. I don't like the whole of Skypiea I feel like it went on for a little too long but the emotional arc of that arc is definitely my favorite. Runner ups;

Raising their X arms for Vivi

Burning down the WG flag for robin

Luffy putting his hat on Nami's head

Bellamy seeing Luffy again in Dressrosa and saying he believes now

Obviously when ace gets free in a cloud of fire

saying goodbye to the going merry

On the sea train whenLuffy tells Zoro to cut it and Zoro just smiles like a maniac and cuts it

Luffy stopping Doffy from stepping on Law

That one shot from the anime where gear 5 luffy looks like a demon coming towards lucci

Any time a sword comes down and zoro is right there to block it

I really like the phrase drums of liberation I don't know what to say One piece has been going on for a long time and Oda is very good at drawing moments.

FMAB: Obvious one and a little basic but the moment where greed just before he fades away looks out at the crowd of people and goes "yeah this is enough" jesus christ.

Mob Psycho: This one actually has like 3.

The first is at the end of season 1 when reigen gets mob's powers and tells him he doesn't have to fight that he is a child and it's not his responsibility to make up for the faults of adults and then immediately goes on to just shame the adults of the evil organization because like y'all are kidnapping and torturing kids because of some childhood trauma? grow up and get a real job. Hilarious.

In season three after dimple brainwashes Mob to leave as he goes on fighting the fake mob in the broccoli and that just a beautiful sequence that I dont relaly want to spoil but when Mob gets home and it really just clicks that dimple was his first friend god it was beautiful

And finally obviously I would be remise to not include Reigen running after a ramapaging ???? as the world literally falls away and is destroyed around him.

Weathering with you: If you haven't watched this I genuinely recommend it was made by the same studio and directer that did Your Name. But yeah the scene where they are falling out of the sky holding hands it would be impossible if it did not make this list.

How do I put down the whole of My Neighbor Totoro?

Boy and the Heron: I don't want to spoil the movie but the scene at the end when Mahito has to get out of the tower as it implodes and his last talk with the girl saying I'll see you in the future god this doesn't make sense but watch the movie its a beautiful sequence.

Demon Slayer: Of course the set your heart ablaze scene has to make the list. But the line that really stuck with me is when he told Tanjiro to always keep his head up no matter what people think about his journey to save Nezuko. He hadn't even gotten a chance to properly talk with either of them before shit went down but he saw the good she did he saw how hard they fight and he is the first person to say out loud that I believe you I think what you are doing is good and kind and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. God when he sees his mother. Please just kill me.

MHA: Every single sequence between Eri and Mirio especially the first fight scene where He gives Eri his cape and when they are at the concert and you see the darkness be lifted from her shoulders. Its such a shame we didnt get more of them.

Fireforce: God I hate the fanservice in this show and I hate that exceot for Maki everytime a woman gets in a fight she somehow winds up almost naked and posed very sexually submissive and it's so weird cause it feels like sexual violence and I could go on and on about how this show does a disservice to itself and it's female characters but I can't deny that the scene where Shinra bursts through the roof as Tamaki is literally taking a serious beating from the dude she looked up too and yeah beautiful moment. Also its a really fucked up dynamic but its also really interesting and poignant but Kurono being the only one to understand what Takkun needs in the moment to stop his rampage was just like wow. A Place Further than the Universe: The girls finding Shirase's mom's laptop and them watching the emails come in and its proof that her mom was loved I mean come on. The whole show is great. Erased: The entire opening sequence. The twist and the fact that I learned that the actual english translation of the Japanese name is : The place where only I am missing. Which is a banger ass name. I honesly could go on and on things tend to stick with me for whatever reason but yeah I'd recommend watching anything on this list. But thank you for the ask this was fun!

[i-sveikata]

I love you showed that the mafia brothers are kind of fucked up in their own way. Pete describes Kim leaving bodies like a cat giving a gift of dead birds. It's funny how this behavior would remind me more of Vegas. He would love to send dead bodies to Pete. And I think he is not doing that only because it would anger Pete. But what if that's what Pete would have wanted? I think Vegas would love to leave the dead body of someone who hurt Pete, on his front porch. Looking very smug and happy, waiting for praise 😂

Everyone at first glance things that the minor family is more fucked up by seeing Vegas. While I think the main family is much more dangerous. They try to act moral and relatively normal. Being above others. Even Kim being a musician in public. But doing his detective job in the back.

I'm very curious what would be Vegas' reaction to hearing that Kim is a little devil fighter and not so above the mafia business like he wants people to think.

oh yeah for sure they all are like its seems very clear to me that none of them had a normal childhood.

hahah true!! but i dont think it would honestly anger pete all that much if vegas had a legit reason (and like of course it wasnt one of petes friends or something) like vegas very clearly liked pete killing for him i think to some degree pete wouldnt be all that bothered about vegas taking out some of his enemies too. only difference is pete doesnt have as many as vegas lol

oh yes i so agree!! i think why vegas draws people in is because hes actually intending to. like all showy dress and sharp statements and vicious moves at the drop of a hat- vegas has always been trying desperately to get attention hes just never received it from the person he wanted it from (his father) vegas shows a lot of his fucked up ness in public but he uses it as a weapon against others, to frighten or intimidate. i think for the wounds that truly hurt him hes much better at keeping hidden. yes their veneer of normalcy over all of the horrific things they do is honestly more terrifying than vegas' torture raincoat hahaha. yes even when they have the freedom that they want it will never stop them from being dangerous (esp in kim's case)

i think vegas would be just as jealous of kim as he is of kinn if hed taken the time to notice him. he saw kim's leaving as abandoning their world so hes not particularly interested in him, not realising that hes still sneaking around, still viciously killing people and moving about in both worlds when it suits him. because he got the life he wanted without having to compromise like vegas had just for his fathers approval. it would sting for vegas to realise the depth of that. but also i think petes reaction to kim would make him the most nervous. like pete is actually low key intimidated by kim, when he hasnt really shown that for any of the other boys. like if vegas saw some of that from pete i think hed be equal parts jealous (because of course pete was never really afraid of him like vegas manages to make everyone else afraid) to see kim held in such higher esteem threat wise and also hed start to wonder if hed be strong enough to take kim down if pete was wary of him like that. vegas would want to know of the two of them who is stronger. he wouldnt want any uncertainty- would want to be absolutely positive that if it came down to him and kim fighting it out that hed be he one to walk away.

grumpus designs addendummm

ANYWAYS. felt like doin a post talking abt how i draw the grumpuses or whatever for funsies bc im bored + since i did the design meme. lets go

in General : i draw them like furries, vaguely. which is fun because im not much of a furry artist so i have no idea what im doing and it shows. in general i give them sorta snouts in varying... snoutyness depending on their over/underbite. eg floofty, snorpy gramble and shelda have flatter faces while liz, lillow and wambus look like weird dogs, i guess. i draw them with human-shaped hands but put pawpads on them. sometimes. you could say i give them ears but to be honest they dont look functioning i just slap some squiggles on their heads and move on. i also give some of them tails. because i walk around irl like why dont i have a tail and well its their problem now.

I also give them more/detailed-er hair and clothes. character specific stuff below

Filbo is still just a guy. I mostly just slapped some freckles on him because I thought theyd be cute. in a spongebob kinda way. i put a hawaiian shirt on him. not pictured, i think he would have a little tuft of a tail. average goober

I draw Beffica with more... idk if id say realistic hair, but it’s less of a hat. as far as I can tell, her in-game model has orangeish-red eyes (color makes me think of ketchup), but I made them browner. not a lot of brown eyed characters in media but this is partially habit on my part coming from drawing genshin fanart (nobody has brown eyes). i made her nose heart shaped and put her in a off the shoulder shirt. she has a sort of... cheetah? pattern bc i think its cute.

Eggabell is round soft and pink. not as egg shaped in my style i suppose, but she prob looks more egg fullbody than just her bust lol. i like the ........ floofy thing ive seen ppl put on her so theres that, i also think she’d look cute w/ short hair. changed her med belt into a sort of... satchel lookin thing?

Liz. in the meme I forgot about her hat, LOL. I give her a ponytail haircut - she kinda looks like a wolf and less like a walrus I suppose... she’s muscular and scared from The Adventuring, and I put a vest thing on her. she still has the belt.

Wambus I made look a bit dilfy... kind of wolf shaped in my brain. him and Triffany feel like the types to be that thick beefy kind of muscled. gave him bushy eyebrows and sort of hair, w some grey hairs. he and Triffany are around 40-50s to me, they both have some wrinkles, but im. bad at drawing older ppl

Triffany..... her hat was a menace to draw. she’s just as beefed up as Wambus, but she’s very fluffy and soft looking. her vest is more Open in canon but I didn’t wanna redraw it but im sure she has amazing chest fur. she has curly-ish hair in a ponytail.

for Cromdo I tried to make him like.. idk... uncleish. danny devitocore. I’m not used to drawing characters like him so ??? its a little funny looking but I tried to make him look like he had body hair as if he wasnt covered in fur lmfao. gave him some wrinkles, he’s probably in his 40s. put a shirt on that freak. also, had trouble w his nose.

I’ve had trouble drawing shorter characters in relation to taller ones (chandlo) but I liked how I drew Gramble. I put freckles on him (cute factor), turned his vest into a full sweater (w shirt collar), gave him some curly strawberry red hair under the hat. he’s cute. I know he weighs like 3 apples

WIGGLE my beloved! I felt I made her a bit Much but honestly? fits her. I gave her short curly hair - I do like how other designs give her the spiky mohawk look from the cheepoof tho! in her model her eyes are blue, but I darkened them similarly to how I changed Beffica’s eyes, but its less noticeable with the glasses. I gave her a sorta... half tube top w a see thru part (forgot the word.) probably wears beach party clothes

Oddly, I have trouble with Chandlo. He’s kind of dog-ish like Liz an Lillow, also made his nose heart shaped cuz its cute. gave him hair under the hat but idk how I feel on it. he’s beefy obviously, but I think he’s a bit more defined than Wambus. I couldn’t quite show it but I imagine he has rather calloused paws, but is otherwise careful when carpenter-ing and such (unlike Snorpy and Floofty, OSHA enemies.)

SNORBYYYYY I love this little yellow thing. I draw him (and his sibling) with casual glasses usually, because I imagine the magnifying glass isnt Always necessary. I also put him in a sweater. I gave him some freckles and changed the direction of his hair + the style to be in a ponytail idk. his arms and hands are particularly scarred, from equipment and engineering accidents and such, probably has some burns too.

Floofty my beloved rude asshole. I have a little trouble w their hair on the left side of their head 😭 I also give them simpler glasses to wear when they don’t need the goggles because wearing that shit all day hurts. I put them in a hoodie/jacket + lab coat combo. I imagine the lab coat is blood stained. stuff’s hard to clean. They’re equally if not more scarred than their brother, and have a particularly bad burn/scar double whammy on their right hand which I hc they get after getting fired when having a meltdown. ANYWAYS

Shelda my gramma. I love her but MY GOD coloring the flowers was hard lol. I imagine her fur is on the shorter side. I don’t have too much to say I guess? I want to give her a hug.

Clumby I just drew a kind of Aunt-y ish garfield. the glasses and hat were hard. definitely the type of woman I saw in the middle school’s reception office.

is that all? I guess that’s all. there’s Lillow, but I dont have much to say I guess? besides that the scar on her nose is from snaktooth. what was it clumby said? “dont fall off a cliff onto your face?”

First - ok, do the Ljosalfar also exist in the world of this story? (then again, are the Ljosalfar even a distinction from the Dokkalfar that existed pre-Christian influence? I dunno, the mythology is fairly incomplete as it stands, and none of this has anythign to do with the story so why am I spending so much time on this anyway?) Second, why does getting hit on the head give Jo the Second Sight? Or did she always have the capacity for it, and the hit just catalyzed it? REGARDLESS, as none of that has anythign to do with the actual control part of the story, moving on. It's a good story. Very fantasy, but I grew up LOVING mythology, so even though I'm a little rusty on it, seeing something drawing on myth is lovely. And the idea of control that most folk dont' notice, and that even though she *does* notice it Jo can't resist? It works within the context of the story. The actual control we see is fairly pedestrian by EMCSA standards, but the worldbuilding done around it means I like this story much more than I might have otherwise. 8/10 spirals

I don't know what to say about this story. It's so far out of my general realm of control I like that I have no frame of reference for it. It's half possession, half mind control of a different sort, and just not my style. But If you like dream and possession magic, give it a go?

Huh, from the title I was expecting this to be a Girls(tm) story, not a superhero story, and not such a tragic one at that. Oh, it has its moments of heat, during the transformation that takes place, but the end of it is just tragic. To be forced to continue loving someone who's dead, unable to truly mourn, No matter how much heat is in the rest of the story, I can't find it hot on the whole with that layer of tragedy underlying it. it's a GOOD story, just ... another one that isn't really erotica to me. 5/10 spirals

This story feels like a cross between Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. I get distracted by the couplets, especially the occasional slant rhyme, and honestly Dr Seuess-esque language in an erotica story is just offputting. 3/10 spirals

... There is no IRB in the country that would approve this story, so this isn't just self-funded, but there can't be any meaningful oversight either. Also, her work needs more footnotes. Also, she clearly needs to review what we've learned from the Stanford Prison experiment; any time a researcher directly involves themselves in the experiment, as she did, it skews objectivity, and makes it less generalizable. We also ought to be presented with the method of recruitment; the nature of the recruitment can bias who is likely to apply. Further, any experiment of this sort should have included a boiler plate "you may revoke consent at any time" clause. Which clearly X was not provided. Putting the design/framing of the story aside, this is ... well, clearly it bothers me a little bit, given my science background, in the ways that it betrays the doctor's intentions with it. Which makes sense in context, but I get distracted considering how I'd improve the experiment. And it's a solid experiment for the goal of "how can I make girls want to have sex with me," rather than "how can I test response to authority?" - they *are* two different questions. The external view of the shifting mindset is less to my taste, and X's clear distress makes this less hot than it would be otherwise. 5/10 spirals

This one is a lot more magic than my preference, though the sudden internal changes are fascinating and add some heat for me. And Merrion acknowledging that he's being unethical actually makes me feel better, in some ways? I at least have more hope that he'll treat Paula right after this. And she clearly is getting something out of it, too, which helps. But it does come down to just being too magic for my tastes - though if you like magical artifacts driving the control, give this one a look. 6/10 spirals

I never quite understand how pleasure is that overwhelming for folk. It can be fun to play with, sure, but to make me completely let go around someone who puts me on edge? I don't get it and never will. Especially given the context of their interaction here. Maybe I'm just too ace to ever truly grok it, though. But the way she uses the sensation to take control, to build an effective overload induction as she does? It's well done and well written, if a bit cold for my personal preferences.  7/10 spirals

Another induction, and one that would be *really* good for folk who have trouble staying completely focused on a hypnotist, if it were a recording rather than a text induction, as it was clearly written to be read aloud.  The way it uses the idea of focusing on something other than the hypnotist, and letting their voice (and I want to say her, because I'm hearing Lady Ru'etha's voice reading it in my head, for all it's Jukebox's words) just slip past the conscious awareness. It does, of course, include arousal and orgasm suggestions, so be aware of that if you're susceptible to text inductions, but I also recommend hypnotists read this one and take some inspiration for if playing with folk who are easily distracted when trancing. 9/10 spirals

papercut brokeback mountain au hcs. perhaps. Maybe. 🙂🧍

ive never watched brokeback mountain,,,,but ik ENOUGH to know that if i ever find out who u r,,,u will b dealt w,,,swiftly,,,,,

•BEFORE WE GET ALL ANGSTY, can i say that before i rlly knew of the plot,,,i thought brokeback mountain was like,,,,a sex joke,,,im not even trying to b funny, i rlly, truly thought it was, but it doesnt matter bc i can say that curly would b making jokes about it anyways and ponys sick of it

•i think its fitting to say curlys jack and ponys ennis, and i say that bc like i said, curly doesnt care who hes doin and to a degree pony doesnt????but he cares more so about what ppl think, and curlys not rlly like that

•idk exactly how it happens in the movie, but maybe instead of them just like being adults all throughout most of it, its more so like a “u see them grow up and get closer” thing, it started out as a summer job and every summer they were excited to see each other every summer and kept in touch over the course of the year till they saw each other again, but it is mostly about them in their 30s or 40s, middle aged papercut gets a rare appearance

•this also means that curlys teasing pony for his name, a cowboy w the name pony???, curly def had a few things to say bout that one, in return pony teased curly about his last name being shepard considering they were dealing w sheep

•when it comes to pony and him being afraid to show himself, i think that would piss curly off a lot more, bc pony would reciprocate and then other times literally push him away, and curly hated how “complicated ur making this”, its even worse bc pony does in fact have a way w words and curly wont 100% admit it but it makes him feel special so for pony to like him one minute then push him away the next???yea hes goin through it

•w the postcards theyd send each other, this is gay as hell, but im a sucker for indirect kissing w papercut, so maybe they kiss their postcard before they send it off

•pony would even draw curly and let curly keep em and he’d have a lil note at the bottom w it, this is a cruel world we live in just let them kiss in a deli store💔💔

•they swap hats and coats a lot, the coats dont fit, but thats ok, it still smells like em so they keep it

•honestly for this au, id say its a mix of curlys parents being homophobic and pony being scared to b out w it, everyone else knows just, doesnt say anything, kind of like a dirty secret?????

•instead of saying i love u, they just say “i swear”

•what if nothing bad happened and we were all SUPER just say that pony and curly accidentally got into lavender marriages and their wives r rlly just gfs and pony and curly r bfs hahahah, but nobody says anything (im gonna lose my marbles)

•if we wanna go the “one of them dies” route (i hate u deeply) instead of what happened w the ashes, lets say that years ago, they had one of those “when i die, i wanna b a _____” OR the other always just say em as a certain animal, and when they die, everytime they see that animal, they thing if them!!! think of like,,,red dead redemption w that buck and coyote when it comes to arthur morgan

[madam8]

dont know if the page is still active but I wanna say a few things.

First, I LOVE these two so damn much. I love the au and honestly wish there was a fan fic of them.

Second, probably no surprise that I love having the two on my computer and phone. It took an embarrassingly long time for me to figure out how to get the shimeji to work and even more so because the answer was so simple. Always knew I wasnt the brightest but damn Im dumb.

The only thing I noticed about them is that the crawling animation seems to be switched but that was an even simpler fix than the set up. On the compluter that is. Dont think I can do it on the phone. Other than that little tidbit, the animation is BEAUTIFUL.

And third/lastly, I very much want a plush of Virus Moon and want to ask for permission to do that as I have found a site that will make whatever you draw into a plush (though I haven't looked into the specifics yet).

I altered his appearence a bit to do that if theyre ok with it. Hense pic here. Not great, but best I could on my phone. I wanted to include Suns eye too but it just looked odd when I was trying to add it to the hat.

If this is seen/read and maybe get a response, YAY. If not or they say they arent ok with it, then thats ok. What I did isnt great but Im still a little proud of it, and I hope anyone that sees thinks its cute.

THEY'RE HEEEEEEEERE~!!!

Get your very own Virus Sun and Moon shimejis! (No actual virus included haha)

Once again, a big shout to @galactic-drops and their Sun and Moon shimeji. They inspired me to make Eclipse and he was so fun that I made these two!

If you download them, please let me know how you like them! (Also, follow Galatic's instructions to download, cuz if your don't have their Sun and Moon, you need them. Too darn cute.

[misqnon]

YOU ALSO??? FLIGHT RISING???? i joined in uhh 2019? i think? i found out abt it in like 2016 but forgot and then tried to join in 2018 but it wasnt accepting new users.. and then yeah. 2019. so ive been on and off a lot but i LOVE flight rising. i love my dragons. even tho theyre mostly un-gened 1st generation dragons..

sanji is . arguably the most human of all the straw hats.. which is interesting bc he is also the only one who was supposed to be inhuman. ofc i think theyre all very human but sanji has the most moments where i can relate to him. the sanuso fic i was reading yesterday... he was so full of shame... and they wrote him hiding behind his hair.. and i felt so intensely SEEN by that. like oh my god he is ME i do all these things.. i find that my comfort characters are usually... ones who suffer a lot. i love suffering. in media.

SHREK SCREENSHOT..

"I WANT TO PUT THE SANJI FEEDING MICE AND THE CREW IS CONFUSED SCENE IN A FIC SO BAD BUT I HAVE WRITERS BLOCK ATM 😭" i will write it for u

"sanji vs. minnie mouse his hardest battle yet" oh my god........ ur mind...... wow...... genius...... crackship time (have u seen . oh wait ur not into jjk.. ok have u seen frollo x goofy... its insane...)

BEING MAD ABOUT SIMPING FOR SANJI IS SO REAL.. please dont be attractive please stop please... please . IVE SEEN THAT OUTFIT and every time i get ANGRY (not for real but y'know.) because he looks SO GOOD and i dont like to admit that.. i hate to admit that. UR RIGHT that outfit is extremely gay like wtf is going on with that tie???? or whatever it is? around his neck??? this is like gay men wearing scarves

"have u seen that post where its drawings of each of the strawhat “rescue teams” of arlong park, enies lobby, and whole cake?" I SAW THAT A FEW HOURS AGO AHDHSH

"law 1: edgy. flipping u off. deranged. a bit evil looking. kinda hot" i see u...

i love law so much he is so antagonizing and then . the contrast.. when he is stupid or cute. its wonderful.

"HE ALSO LOOKS SO SO PATHETIC 😭 SOPPING WET CAT OF A MAN" i LOVE how pathetic he looks. i like pathetic people so much.. like why are u like that.. making me pity u.. only in media tho never in real life 🙏🙏

ZORO LOOKS LIKE A DOG AHEJDHA WHAT IS THAT

USOPP?? USOPP?????? HES THE MEME IMAGE ...

CHOOPA MY GUY.. he looks so silly as a full deer i wish he did that more often

this is blue period but im running out of funny images i have saved ...

dw abt taking a bit to reply!! i am patient /gen

IM TRYING MY BEST 

sharing my veteran knowledge

3 WAY QPR IS PERFECT 

trace heatfist the magic man. skeazy magician and fuckboy

ace is VERY likeable idk a single person who doesnt like him. even my non one piece friend likes him but i think shes weak to his freckles

i trade memes like pokemon cards. i look forward to this symbiotic relationship

arent unicorns the national animal of scotland…(or ireland maybe…) THAT WOULD MAKE ME THINK THEYRE REAL

I COULD ONLY BEAT SOME GAMES a lot i didnt but usually bc i got out of the rhythm of playing them and left them unfinished. when i was younger i made my older brother play the hard parts for me a lot LMAO. ALSO DO YOU WANT MY FLIGHT RISING DRAGONS. IDK WHAT TO DO WITH THEM ALL MAN I DONT PLAY ANYMORE

i love that sanji is arguably the most emotional of the group (aside from franky or chopper, but for them its just played for laughs) and that overemotional/low self esteem part is exactly what makes him so relatable. i actually really appreciate that oda gave that trait to a male character. sanji cries a lot and is overemotional and kind of hysteric sometimes jdvbvfjdk so im glad they didnt make it like nami or robin who was like that stereotype. GOD I REALLY CONVERTED U TO SANJI TOWN DIDNT I. SORRY WE’RE ALL HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM AND PROJECT ONTO THE WEIRDO

*FROLLO X GOOFY????* 

I HATE ADMITTING THAT I THINK HE’S HOT BC HE DOESNT DESERVE IT. BUT I DO. I THINK SANJI IS HOT. I DO. UNFORTUNATELY. in that maroon wano suit…ODA WHO TOLD YOU TO DO THAT!!!!!!!

and yes law too…listen. i have a big heart, ready to love, [possessed by sanji]

the little scarf/ascot is the gayest part 

“"HE ALSO LOOKS SO SO PATHETIC 😭 SOPPING WET CAT OF A MAN" i LOVE how pathetic he looks. i like pathetic people so much.. like why are u like that.. making me pity u.. only in media tho never in real life 🙏🙏” exactly…PATHETIC FICTIONAL MEN GO HARD

I LOVE THE DOG ZORO SCREENSHOT HE LOOKS LIKE HES GONNA BITE SOMEBODY

AND USOPP KDSJNKJ I USE THAT ONE SO MUCH

i agree i like almost all of chopper’s other forms better than when hes a little baby 😭

IS THAT MAKIMA NSCKJAS???

also u are free to keep sending me e-letters but if you want to just message on discord that is also fine. as i said. message me whenever 🫡

lets see what we have for 2day...

[famouslastwrdz]

bedtime, again, with the jennings, and nobody is ready to sleep.

penance at the table two seats away from jesse, watching him draw symbols and intercrossed lines on the heavy embossed paper that lazarus gave him. his hat is on the table next to the tea that went cold two hours ago.

evan, blue, and vince talk about columbo in the corner seats, asmo occasionally snortlaughing at a mischaracterisation or a headcanon that he deems unsuitable. this doesnt deter them, all three coming up with steadily more ludicrous ideas about the man; his wife has been dead for 20 years, his dog is secretly a man in a costume and thats why he eats icecream, his solutions are divined from god.

tim and jay hover around kitchen and living room, unsure. tim won't come within a metre of penance nor jesse, or his coughing will split open the old operator mark on his shoulder. jay bites his nails and occasionally mutters something to tim, both concerned.

verne fronts with me to help do my homework. latin essay complete, he circles orange pen around points in the mortuary science papers, sticks post-its around my room, talks of apprenticeships and training and how its changed since his time. lazarus points out that verne is a hobby gravedigger, not employed. the priest interjects, the charateristic "ah! ah! hey," before reminding his husband that he dug graves for a *job* before they met, you know, it wasnt all secrecy and bodyparts. a fine occupation for a catholic, lazarus says. well, verne glares inside, at least i dont eat people.

thats in the bible, you bastard. blood and flesh.

so everyone you eat is jesus incarnate?

everyone on earth is jesus and he is all of us. honestly, vernie, is your bible merely decorative?

there's no biblical excuse for cannibalism, mister.

its not cannibalism, im not the same species.

if youre not even partly human, im going to get cancelled.

jesse starts to cough and the pen rolls off the table. they stop bickering and the jennings look across the room, and tim and jay slam the kitchen door behind them.

verne, unmoving, glances at me. lazarus fiddles with his wedding ring, spinning it over and over around his finger. all eyes set on penance, except the orange pair staring firmly at my face.

he resumes quietly, breaks the silence. telling me what qualifications i need, its 2 grand for the training i need, thats alright, the government will pay most.

WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT OF THAT,  penance's face says, and laurenzi freezes in his seat.

asmodeus is silent.

baby learned to speak again, huh. verne directs across the room, gaze still fixed on me. i stare back at him. blue fills the room with mask static, and penance chokes.

a cup breaks in the kitchen and tim's voice comes through the door gentle, jaybird, i can sweep that up. dont use your hands.

shortly after that we all decide to go to bed.
