"Frankie, don't unleash the coffee ghosts!"

And there we have it, my first "proper" (and probably last, for now) time posting fan art. Rambles about the process under the cut, since I enjoy it when other people do that.

So why coffee? I've seen g3 Frankie as a bit too fond of caffeine since the beginning, mostly because of the coffee break two pack (they have a designated coffee buying outfit!) and their creepover doll, which comes with an energy drink. I mean, come on.

Here's basically the process:

The colours aren't quite accurate to the actual drawing (the background is lighter on the photo), but I tried.

The point of this was really just to make something less mellow (as I tend to do) and focus a bit more on shapes, and I thought Frankie would be perfect for that. I used alcohol markers (by Ohuhu) and acrylic paint for the sparks of electricity. Little fun fact, I had to take a reference picture for the separated hand, and the best lid adjacent thing to hold I could find was a tiny trash lid. I mean, if it fits ┐•_•┌

I don't draw humans (or humanesque characters) often, so this was good practice. Killed one of my favourite markers for the trees, but I had fun.

Like I like the idea of Cody being something weird with the shape of a human I love and cry over the idea of Graham still being able to turn into a monster or semi-beast form

The idea could be angsty or fluffy

Just imagining him being so tired after a day of work and just wanting to be comfortable, he would take all the blankets of the house, place them in the flour, and then transform into his beast form to sleep like a bear 🥺😩

Or having him with the Bots do a heavy lifting practice and helping Graham learn how to use his new muscle body to not smash someone by accident

Kade is so going to be happy and mad for having competition awjhakjrht

I just think that is neat

[castiellesbian]

Whether Claire would see Cas as a father figure is a matter of constant debate in this fandom, but I think we can all agree that she would get Jody a Mother's Day card

It was an

itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini

i have a habit of cosplaying my favourite borbos in video games i like and i have been playing a lot of acnl recently,,, here is animal crossing barry :3 his suit is coloured similarly to how it appears in the iOS version of AOZ and Monster Dash as i thought the darker colours looked better on him. also bandages cause they're cute (sorry for the images being super low res i cannot fix that) (also ignore the fact that it's the wrong date in the first screenshots lolll)

he's so silly <3

this one was taken before i recoloured the suit and got him correctly coloured pants and he just kept tripping over repeatedly from bad luck. barry steakfries eats sand and dies in 240p (it's so funny how tripping over on the beach leaves a huge dip in the sand where your character's face was lmaooo)

bonus: the cursed gnome room in my house that has k.k. dirge forever playing inside it. it is very threatening

Overtime, it has become a realization that silliness can be a weapon.

A strategy.

A distraction.

A way to weasel out of circumstances by purposefully playing the fool.

Tapping dancing your way out of situations, by donning the hat of the mad hatter and declaring it a Birthday. Turning the tables away from the original origin of the conversation. While the soft, squishy and fragile part of yourself remains safe and sound.

Flirting, by any other name, is a means to dig into that soft hearted squishiness. Like cracking open an oysters shell, to snatch away a pearl. What better way to redirect one's aim than to improvise?

And yet, and yet, and yet.

You have found that your fancy footwork is slowly being matched in stride. The line is blurred between self-preservation and true enjoyment.

You're dancing with danger.

–

The hand that is splayed in front of your face, palm up. So still. With an inhuman statue-like elegance. The fingers bloomed open gently, waiting for your fingers to lace with theirs.

"We keep bumping into each other, don't we?" The voice is silken and playful.

Time felt sluggish as your mind worked feverishly to find a way out of this debacle. You take their hand gingerly by their fingertips. Weary to avoid the venus fly trap laid out before you. Once that hand closed you were going to be at their mercy. A brief idea flickered across your temple, before committing to your plan, ducking your head down and blowing a raspberry into their palm.

The magic that held you transfixed is broken. A noise, a squeak of shock has the hand retracting back.

You look up with a grin.

"A bit."

Sharp eyes. Sharper eyebrows. You watch their expression change, from shock, to annoyance, to something with a smile. A smile of something unreadable, and unknown.

"A bit." They echo your words. Walking around you slowly, and you pivot to match their stride. "You know, if I didn't know better. . . I would think you were avoiding me."

"Really?" You chirped, feigning a wide eyed curious smile. "Me? Why, I would never."

They scoff, pulling their lips back to show teeth, and what sharp teeth they have. Your eyes linger on the fangs, pearly white and polished before your eyes dart up. Studying their eyes and regaining the slipping hold of your mask.

"You are. . . really something," They mused, shaking their head.

"I hope it's something good!" You quip, grinning as you rock back and forth on your heels.

"Certainly," That wide grin is quick to reappear, but you pretend to look thoughtful and continue to rock.

"I can't seem to ever get a proper read on you. It's as enticing as it is maddening."

That bit makes you blink, eyebrows raising slightly in amusement.

"Good! That is exactly what I am hoping for," You flourish a bow, bending forward grandly.

They bite back a bark of laughter. "To entice me, or drive me mad? Because dear, truly, I am wrapped up in your mystery."

Now that little bit did take you by surprise. It was sweet, with a hint of affection that had your stomach doing loops.

"I wish. . . to be confusing!" You declare instead, looking all for the world triumphant in your task. You look at them, eyes wide and mirthful.

"You certainly are that,"

And in spite of yourself, you laugh.

just thinking out loud but someone should totally make a wangxian stardew valley mod

No I'm still thinking about that render I did and I need to speak my truth.

Borderlands Silent Hill au in which a regular and normal teenager/ young adult Angel experiences The Horrors but also learns how to overcome her trauma and how to finally live her life for herself. 😁😁😁

‘Frankie tries to ask out Cleo to Monster Ball, continuously fails or smth in some way throughout the episode because confessing and talking about romantic feelings is so complicated and scary and new, eventually they get some real good advice from a character (I really wanna say Deuce), and they end up working up their courage and confessing to Cleo on stage in the form of a really passionate rocker love song during Monster Ball’ truthers where you a t???

Just finished the first season of the x-files and while I loved looking at Gillian Anderson in impecable fashion for 20+ episodes, I have to ask: is there ever more of an overarching plot beyond “aliens are real and the government is hiding it”? Because it feels like that was the main conclusion at the end of the season, but it was pretty much established by episode 5, so what was the point of the rest of it?? They kept introducing different aliens with not a single reference to events of previous episodes, save for Tooms, and I walked away from the season feeling a little like nothing of meaning had happened for 15 episodes!

So, two things I really miss most about TV is the serialization of longer seasons, and the Monster Of The Week format.

Over the seasons the main theme is, yes, the government is hiding the existence of ETs, but there is a more complex arc of a planned invasion to also go along with the building multi-layered relationship between Mulder and Scully. But other than that, it's probably like (and I'm being generous here) 40% plot and 60% monster of the week, where you get fun creepy paranormal one-off episodes that usually don't tie back in! Which is the format a lot of longer-episodic shows used to do. That's how Xena Warrior Princess and the Hercules show were also made. AND Buffy, Doctor Who, Smallville, Supernatural, Charmed, Scooby-Doo, and Sailor Moon.

Some current shows do attempt to do some of this format, but [insert rant about the greed of networks pulling reruns and screwing over cast and crew pushing everything to streaming to circumvent paying out residuals] the length of seasons has drastically shrunk and this format has largely been put on the shelf and why I personally think neckflick shows are exhausting. With these older shows while nothing may happen to tie in to the plot every single episode, you get these nice character-heavy one-off episodes of "what would they do in This Situation™" (also allowing better pacing through the 24-28 episodes of a season).

So uh. Yeah. Those gaps were on purpose LOL.

It's always so funny to me when I see people say things like 'uty will never be undertale!' and list all the things they think it did wrong/inaccurately to the og game. Don't get me wrong I think it's completely valid to not enjoy it for those reasons, but at the same time it's a non-toby fox game that I never felt tried too hard to PRETEND to be a toby fox game, y'know?

There's quite a few things I think it misses the mark on when it comes to canon compliance with undertale, but I don't really mind that tbh (especially when it gave us such a fun fanon take on flowey, which is pretty damn accurate to undertale even if it doesn't make sense with the timeline and even if itd makes him a little too developed by the time frisk falls to make sense). To me, uty is a game that takes place in a world SIMILAR to undertale, by different people, that isn't quite trying to do the same thing. It doesn't have the same soul as undertale sure, but it doesn't need to. Different games serve different purposes and especially w the context of yellow being a completely free project done in fans' time as a labour of love to a game that they enjoyed, I think they did a pretty damn good job.

(again this isn't me throwing shade at people who don't like it, more an excuse for me to get some of my own thoughts out about the game lol)

guys i have been in a state for days. i am giddy i am gasping for air i am broken inside i am blushing i am sweating i am twirling my hair i am suffering i dont know how to deal with the very real possibility that nandor has loved guillermo for years and has been restraining himself, feigning aloofness, keeping his distance, because all these years he understood that maybe guillermo would never be ready for vampirism - and maybe hes been so depressed in the latest years because hes finally found someone he wants to spend eternity with, and he strongly suspects he will spend eternity missing them instead

Completely outside of my usual drawing niche, but yesterday I was talking to my sister and she showed me an old drawing I made for her in 2021 that I had deleted and completely forgot about. There was a period of time when my sister was absolutely OBSESSED with Wings of Fire, so I drew a humanisation (I can barely draw humans, man, I would actually combust if asked to draw a dragon) of a pre-canon younger version of one of her favourite characters, Peril, who I also have a soft spot for because, you guessed it, I found a way to link her to my main obsession :’) And when I saw that old piece, I just knew I had to redraw it

+ The original, low quality bc I screenshotted my sister filming her tablet screen over video call, under the cut to save myself some embarrassment 😅
