#i loved getting to show each character through the poses they picked out for them c: very fun character work

[captainbasch]

✧.*100 follower celebration type thing*.✧

So, to celebrate 100 followers on tumblr, I decided to draw some fanart for people. This community is so sweet. Every one of these artists has inspired me in some way.

I'm really sorry for those I haven't made art for. I may make a part 2 one day for those I missed. Who knows.

This was a really nice way to try out different art styles while mixing them with my own.

Apologies for all the link later on. Want to explain the creative process a bit for those interested cause I put way too much effort into it to not mention.

Close ups below cut:

@donutfloats

Your arts so cute and soft, I love it. You have a great way of just expressing love through your art.

I was inspired by 2 of your pieces for this, the main one being the 3rd image for this post. The lambs dress is so pretty, I just knew I wanted to draw it flowy and dancing, and the second image I used is this post for the rendering style.

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

@aniimoni

I really like your artstyle. The monochrome colours are delightful, as with the way you do lineart. while making this, I was thinking this is the perfect style to meld with mine.

I was inspired a lot by the axe and hammer drawings in this post. As a hammer lover, I decided to combine the 2 together.

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

@teruuu

Something about your style is mischevios. Your rendering and lineart are just wonderful as well. You have a very distinctive style that matches mine quite well, i think.

I feel compulsion of the flesh Lamb and Narinder would give each other kisses on the hand but take a bite at the same time. They freaky like that. Based my rendering around this post and the previous draw you character here, I did. These are fun designs to draw.

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

@poopylumpkins

I really like your vampire au something about it really spoke to me as a afab non-binary.

Lamb deserves to wear their own clothes and something about narinder helping with their makeup convinces me he'll help out.

if you're curious, i colour picked the background and shading from this post

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

@olrinarts

This was a really fun style to draw. Something about how you draw these 2 is delightful. Love yuri narinder's eyes in particular.

Rock god yuri. What more can I say these are really good designs. Showed them to my friend, and they loved them.

Decided to have them dueting, while Narinder can't sing lamb can always pick up that role.

Used this post for the background and shading colours, and this is a kinda basis for the pose.

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

@redcrowncafe

Really love you fic and art. I like to see the fic brought to reality through all the comics and art, which has a very pleasing look to the eye.

I have never struggled so much with an art style, fun challenge, but very different to my own.

Wanted to draw their Halloween costumes from this post. Lambert would definitely get too into the vampire costume and bite Nari at some point probably.

✧.*-----------------------------------------------------------------------*.✧

@joffyworld

Just wanna say thank you so much for the reblogs and kind words. It gives me a lot of confidence in my work and is a genuine brightness in my day.

I wasn't sure what to draw you, so I thought I'd just show you a pic of my new one who waits figurine, that arrived recently. Its a little weird, I think an earlier design but cool none the less.

red carpets - actor!sirius black x actress!reader

wc: 942

cw: none! you catch sight of sirius on the red carpet

tag: @lovemenotts

The sheer amount of noise surrounding you was making you light-headed. Yet, you plastered on a smile, smoothed out your silky skirt and stepped onto the red carpet. Your smile didn’t budge as you inched down the carpet, performing for the hungry cameras and the sometimes scary men behind them. You grit your teeth as they yell commands, changing pose as they desire, waiting to get to the interview portion of the red carpet. At least the journalists had to be polite to you.

A woman from some gossip rag you purposefully avoid reading calls you over and you consciously boost your smile again, turning up the energy to 100. She’s nice, at least, and a good conversationalist. Too many interviewers left you to pick up their slack and carry the conversation as if it weren’t their job to be digging for the information they want.

“How does it feel to be nominated for an Emmy in your first foray into television?” She asks and you beam.

“It’s such an honour, really. I mean, this show is such a labour of love, Lily put her heart and soul into the writing, so I’m just so grateful I got to be the one to bring it to life. It’s so amazing that we’re both being nominated tonight,” You answer with a practised grace, giving a glance to the camera behind the interviewer.

The conversation continues and you find yourself enjoying it more than you anticipated. The interviewer connects with you well and matches your excited energy at being around celebrities. You figure it’s about time you move on, but give her one more question as a secret reward for her not being as invasive as the others usually are. She asks about your friendship with Lily and creating a project with someone you’d known forever and you grin again.

You start your answer, gushing over Lily’s talent for screenwriting and your friendship of ten years. You turn to look for her, meaning to gesture when your eyes get caught on something. Someone.

“Who is that?” You ask the interviewer, pointing out the most gorgeous man you’d ever seen in your life. Long dark hair, dressed in all black with silver jewellery glinting in the flash of cameras, you basically fall in love at first sight.

“That’s Sirius Black,” The interviewer answers with a laugh.

“God, what is he from?” He’s honestly supernaturally good-looking, you’re not convinced he’s real.

“He co-created and stars in The Marauders series, you haven’t seen it yet?”

“No, I’ve been meaning to but I haven’t had the time — Lils says it really has to be appreciated so I’m waiting to dedicate significant time to it. He did not look like that on the poster.” The series is set in high school and so all the actors look different, younger, Sirius no exception. The dark eyeliner around his grey eyes creates a magnetic contrast that makes him look much more mature than his character.

“Is it safe to say you’ll be finding him at the after-party?” The interviewer asks cheekily. The situation comes back to you in an instant; you’re on camera and who knows how many people are seeing you thirst over another actor in real-time.

“God no,” You laugh, frantically trying to brush over the incident, “I don’t chase after boys. He’d have to work for my attention.” You wink in an attempt to deliver the joke and it goes over smoothly enough, the interviewer graciously letting it go and thanking you for your time. You thank her profusely.

You chance another glance at Sirius as you move on, all grace and long limbs as he effortlessly poses for photos and messes around with his co-stars, spirit not yet beaten out of him by Hollywood. You envy the way his cast talk all the way through the process, clearly extremely fond of each other. You would go to the ends of the earth for Lily, your best friend and writer of the show you star in, but your male lead couldn’t be more opposite. Severus Snape was someone you would never get along with, and your interviews consisted of forced smiles and camaraderie on your side and zero effort from him. You would love a cast like The Marauders, not that you would dare complain to Lily, who had given you so much.

You don’t end up meeting Sirius during the awards or the afterparty, unfortunately, though you do see him once more across the room and feel the flutter of intrigue in your stomach. The next awards ceremony you had a goal, and a series to watch in the meantime.

LOVE IS ON THE RED CARPET? EMMY WINNER ADMIRES NOMINEE SIRIUS BLACK

The clip from that interview goes viral, both your fans and Sirius’ dissecting every frame of the videos. Some focus on the subtle up-and-down you give him, slowing it down to a snail’s pace to catch every eye movement. Others focus on Sirius, swearing they could see his eyes flick over to you for a fraction of a second. The ultimate conclusion is that you two should be in love, or already are, and fan edits of both you and your characters are already surfacing on TikTok.

You sigh from your hotel bed, scrolling through an endless amount of photos of him and yourself. Your publicist would not be happy with you. Although, it could be a pretty good marketing strategy.

[leggerefiore]

prompt: gifting a present your s\o secretly really wanted? 🥺

cw: fluff, gift giving

characters: Ingo, Emmet, Cyrus, Lear

read this as to the characters also

▲Ingo▼

● The Subway Boss was not a difficult person to gift shop for – Ingo would take any gift with genuine appreciation, simply due to his sentimental nature. You could hand him something he hated, but, as long as you clearly seemed like you were trying to make him happy, he would clap his hands and give you one of his characteristic “bravo's.” But, it was hard to see things that he might truly love. Yes, anything train adjacent would assuredly suffice and overjoy him, yet it was always a concern of whether or not he already had such a thing in his personal collection. Other things held strong appeal to him, too, such as anything related to his pokemon. Still, you had the full intention to obtain something that the twin truly wanted. It was through prodding of his brother that you managed to obtain your answer – Something that he had not mentioned to you directly.

● You had caught Ingo as he rested on the couch after getting in from work. He had his tie half down with the top of his shirt unbuttoned. Behind you was the gift that you had worked so hard to make for him. He tilted his head as you approached him, giving one of his smiles where his lips barely pulled up. His hand came up to pull you down to his sitting level for a kiss, but you caught him off-guard by pulling out the gift. The Litwick wrapping paper made him blink a few times as he took it from you. Then, he tore it away to reveal what was hidden underneath. A scrapbook of various photos that you had taken together with him since being in your relationship was what you had decided on. He carefully flipped through it, eyes becoming softer with each flip of the page. A true smile broke his lips as he sat it in his lap and looked up at you. “… Thank you, dearest,” he spoke in a low-tone, “This is truly something wonderful. I will treasure it.” You felt your heart swell with feeling that you had finally managed to get something that he truly desired.

▽Emmet△

○ The Subway Boss in white was a particularly easy person to gift shop for. He would plainly tell you what he liked and disliked if asked and would do the same for gifts when given. This may have earned him quite a few glares from his older twin, but he simply argued that the truth of the matter was the most important. Yet, his interests were plain for anyone to see and understand. He loved his job and, therefore, trains, and he loved his pokemon. Battling was his favourite, too. It was easy, but you wanted to get him something that would both surprise and overjoy him. That was not easy. He would truly be happy with anything of the previous diaspora, but you wanted to do something above and beyond for him. It was difficult, but you considered him closely and found yourself asking both his brother and friends a bit for answers.

○ When you found it, you asked him to come home after his shift with a little delay. He was true to his answer and showed up as soon as he could, smiling and waving when he got in the door. You found yourself in a tight hug as he questioned why you wanted him home as soon as he could. You slipped off his uniform cap and picked up your gift from the kitchen counter. He held it in his hands for a moment, just smiling at the train print paper you had wrapped it up in. Then, he pulled it away carefully to reveal what you had got him inside. He gasped at what you had custom ordered. A conductor's cap with a Joltik print on it. Putting it on his head, he struck one of his many poses and grinned brightly. “This is verrry good,” he nodded, “I love it! Thank you, darling!” Emmet soon caught you in another suffocating hug as you felt relief that it had worked.

🌌Cyrus🛰

☄️ Cyrus quite often proved someone difficult to shop for. His usual response of indifference made getting gifts next to impossible. Whether he enjoyed them or not was also up in the air. While this would likely discourage most and make them wish to pull away from it, you found yourself rather invigorated by it and wishing to find something that would truly break that stoic streak of his. His interests were mostly obvious – He loved machines more than anything else, yet that was not something you could easily provide. Not to mention, he already got his fill with his job and hobby. No, you had to attack from another angle. One, you knew no one else would be so easily aware of.

☄️ Catching him before his disappeared in his home office, you dragged him back into the living room and made him stand while you pulled out his gift from where you had hidden it. He watched you with mild curiosity. Pulling out a gift wrapped in a galaxy print paper, you held it out to him. Carefully, he took it from you and began to unwrap the gift. Cyrus was eerily quiet, as observed it. You felt your heart drop. The Rotom figurine perhaps was really not something to his tastes in the end, after all. But, before you could apologise for wasting his time, he met your gaze. “… This is truly quite nice,” his voice was low, “I appreciate you thinking of me.” While you still felt insecure in your choice at that time, you later knew he truly enjoyed it when you saw it sitting on his desk.

👑Lear💎

🪙 How does one get a gift for a man who could buy anything that he possibly ever wanted on a whim? The prince was truly something else to shop for. You were personally acquainted with his large collection and knew that it would be impossible to ever get him something that would impress him in the slightest. While you doubted he would ever say anything intentionally cruel to your face (unintentionally notwithstanding), it still hurt when you attempted to think of things to get for him. Asking his retainers and closest friends did not get you any closer to the goal you had in mind. It hurt, but you try not to feel so discouraged. A remark from him about the most precious things not having a price tag echoed in your mind. There simply had to be something out there that you could get him.

🪙 You held the gift box in your hand as you finally had a chance to be alone with him. He had just finished all his duties for the day and had crashed onto one of the couches in his quarters. His sunglasses laid on a nearby end table while his coat was shed and folded nearby. You felt yourself tense up a bit when he stared at you from across the room. There was a silent question in his gaze about what you were holding. Coming up to him, you watched as he sat up and took the offering from you. The wrapping paper's print was covered in Gimmighoul coins. He tore it away without any hesitation and scrutinised the gift inside. You felt defeated. He probably would not enjoy it. Why would he care for something like a framed photo of you both at a gala event he held? Before you could deflate, he sat the picture down on the end table. “… I had been meaning to have the prints processed myself,” his voice was low, likely strained from speaking all day, “Thank you. I'm truly glad to have this finally.” You could tell with his glance back that he truly adored it.

[tkwrites]

Okay I'm done now and heading to bed, one last question.

Can you name a favourite fic for each of the boys?

Hi my Lovely,

There are quite a few of your asks I haven't answered, but please know I'm not ignoring them. They'll just take a little more time to respond to.

I can tell you my favorite fics, though:

Matthew Tkachuk - Back To You because it's such a complete story. I love the way he and Jessie meet, lose each other, and then are thrown together by fate again. I also feel like I really captured that sassy side of Matthew's personality in this fic, which I was really worried about at the time I was writing it. This is also the story that I think would be easiest to flesh out into a full length novel.

Nico Hischier - I love all the parts of his story for different reasons, but I think It Doesn't Matter Part II is my favorite. I had actually written the whole sequence of nude sketches for another character, but ended up scrapping the whole story because I couldn't find any real conflict for them to resolve. When I realized I could use it for Nico and Lena if she was an artist, I was thrilled and got to work rewriting it for them. In the end, the only things that stayed the same were 5 of the 6 poses. Getting into and out of them changed, as did the characters relating to each other during them. I love all the longing and awkward tension between them in this piece, as well as how they finally end up confessing their love for each other. Finally, the culmination of all of their longing into the final sex scene? Chefs kiss.

Quinn Hughes - This one is so hard. I've written so much about Quinn and Sarah and I love all of the pieces for one reason or another. If I had to pick three favorites, they would be:

1). Five Days of Joy because I'm so proud of this fic. It took SO long to write, but I love the way it turned out. I love that we go through so many consecutive days and such a gamut of emotions with Sarah and Quinn.

2). The Second Time is Better because I love the portrayal of a more real first time. One of the things that drives me batty about romance novels is how the characters get together and always seem to have this instantly amazing sexual connection. No room for human failing or first time jitters. In reality, it takes time to build sexual chemistry and connection, and I went into this piece wanting to show at least some of that.

and 3). Second Nature because I think it has the prettiest prose. I still think this passage is some of the best writing I've ever done:

This was ultimate flirting in Quinn’s book. Something he knew he could do. When someone wanted to talk about music, or art or classic cars, he was a fish out of water. But talking hockey? He could do that all day long. Convincing someone to like the sport he loved so much? There wasn't a more ideal situation. 

“Oh, good,” she said, leaning forward to kiss him. 

This was a perfect evening. Casual and comfortable. Cooking for someone he - liked, and kissing her whenever he wanted, taking no worry of who might be watching. 

Letting himself get swept up in the kiss, he slid his hands over her hips and tried to commit her scent to memory. No matter what happened - though he was pretty sure nothing bad was ever going to happen with Sarah - he wanted to remember this. She smelled like a dream he’d had as a boy. Like vanilla and warm skin and fireside, summer nights. It was an outlandish notion, but he couldn’t shake it. 

All her life, Sarah had read stories about star-crossed, fated lovers thrown together by chance and circumstance and serendipity. But those were all just stories. Even when her grandpa talked about meeting her grandma - like they were always meant to be together, and just had to find each other to make it happen - it seemed like folklore. A tall tale he spun to make their love story seem more epic. 

After writing all this out, I realized perhaps you meant favorite writing from other authors. Let me know if that's something you'd like me to answer.

[dontmixpaintinyourcoffee]

More Lodgers! I think Mosley is my favorite of this batch, both pose and design-wise. I'm drawing them in order of introduction, and it's almost like a cool little Easter egg hunt looking for different angles and full-body panels of characters that don't show up a ton.

(Edit! I updated the drawings, it not matching the other set was bothering me)

Thoughts under the cut again

Back at it again with the goggles and gloves! Except for Mr. Griffin which is interesting. Could be for lots of reasons, like pulling descriptions from The Invisible Man, or maybe his work doesn't require a lot of physical risk, or maybe they just didn't want all the Lodgers to feel too samey. He's still aligned with the Lodgers aesthetically through the apron, which Bird also wears. Neat! I'm very entertained by the different types of eyewear too. Some have goggles, some have binoculars, and some have layers of magnifiers like jeweler's glasses (of course I always think of the Toy Story 2 scene). I'm sure some of them have super specialized equipment too, like Maijabi probably has some sort of spectral filter lens or something.

God what I would give to pick Sage Cotugno's brain about some of these designs because I am fascinated by Mosley. They technically didn't have to go through and give each lodger such a strong sense of personality but I adore that they did! Mosley in particular reminds me of Mole from Atlantis, with the scarf and the multi-layered goggles and the digging. And Helsby wouldn't be out of place at the Benbow Inn! Know that I mean this as incredibly high praise, I could talk about the designs in Treasure Planet for days. Point is that both those movies have an incredibly strong visual identity, primarily through the character designs and architecture, and this comic feels the same way to me.

My personal favorite rogue scientist is next up! I love her design so much and I'm so excited to draw her. Also, how in the hell do you end up with "make spy bugs" as your job?? And where can I sign up?? Miss Flowers please

Mosley has my favorite pose but Griffin has my favorite face. Look at him. Grouchy bastard

I realize that I've been labeling all the Lodgers as "doctor" but it's entirely possible that some of them probably don't have doctorates. Y'know. The thing that makes you a doctor. Then again Frankenstein dropped out of college and we all call him "Dr" so I don't see why these fine people shouldn't get the same respect! Dunno if this applies to Victoria Frankenstein though. She's crazy enough to have also finished college while all the other shit was happening.

(yes I know that Frankenstein technically had all the knowledge and the expertise and was miles ahead of literally everybody else and only dropped out because he was busy proving that death is merely a temporary state and God means nothing in the face of human ingenuity and all that, but the bastard still didn't graduate and also he's an asshole so I'm gonna pick on him)

My 𝐓𝐨𝐩 24 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 from 2024 ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

I was tagged by @mikachusblog @aurorangen and @moonwoodhollow however I put together a recap earlier this month! Instead I'll pick about ten story moments I enjoyed from this year under the cut as well as a very special screenshot. I did want to make sure I tagged some people as well! :D

I tag: @acidheaddd @likelyamused @pink-chevalier @changingplumbob @salemssimblr

@matchalovertrait @lre333 @swiftviolets @sirianasims @lynzishell

1. January 8th: Kai shares a secret

⋆ This was a really fun flashback scene! We got to see Kai, Frances, Dan and Atlas in the earlier years of high school as well as learn that Kai has romantic feelings towards Atlas, who happens to be his first kiss! This is also where his arc officially begins in my mind!

2. March 6th: Taryn's skepticism

⋆ I remember being so proud of this scene because it was one of the first scenes I fully posed the conversation. I really enjoyed of Atlas and Taryn's mannerisms peaked through. I think this conversation while it focuses on a different subject, the nature of it shows their personalities. Taryn struggling with self confidence while Atlas's facade starts to unveil just a bit.

3. March 12th: Frances's solo

⋆ I was really proud of these poses as well as the shots. The shots of Icarus and Frances while romantic do say a lot about how each views each other. Your greatest heartbreak being how Frances feels and the deepest regret being how Icarus feels. For the cello poses, I did reference through watching performances but also real life so it was neat combining the two. I am excited for Frances's future in De Sol Valley especially when new faces are introduced to the cast. It might be similar to Atlas's prologue where Frances is the focus but just in a shorter interval.

4. March 9th: A rose and it's bumblebee

⋆ March was a good month. Maybe not for the characters, but a good month creatively for me ! I'm gonna sound so toxic but I love the tension between these two so much like hold out a bit longer please JUSTKIDDINGPFFTorami? anyways structuring taryn's monologue came out of order. the frames where she says "A stubbed toe. A scraped knee. A fall." came first. Everything else was built around those three sentences. The scene following that was fun to put together because Atlas really does struggle to apologize and take ownership over his fuck up that he tries to smooth things over by being charming but Taryn, getting more comfortable, shows her newfound skill of setting boundaries (courtesy of Atlas LMAO) and calls him out on the bullshit.

5. August 9th: Theo's official introduction

⋆ Much of Theo's life is hush hush as following after the WR arc we dive more into their lives but I do want to talk more about them. I liked following their life throughout the day and the general reclusiveness they have in a new city. Their only friend at the time is Gabriel and with no goals of going back to their old life, the only way forward is through. I will say, something about the city has a way of helping people find themselves.

6. August 8th: Of course I had to freaking include this scene

⋆ Gonna be so real right now but I was terrified to post this. Terrified. We see the chaos of Atlas's vices revealing a very important detail, one Rowan reminded us all and that is, Atlas seeks out trouble. The most curious and pressing part is why and how does it end? Any scene with Atlas is scary for me because he leaves a lot of subtle little hints but the extent of his nature is like slowly pulling off a band aid. Are people gonna like what's underneath? I'm never really sure but I do enjoy exploring his character quite a bit.

7. September 3rd: Ojitos lindos

⋆ First, I love Jules. Dude was literally supposed to only be in the one scene and... He wiggled himself into a handful. Second, was very proud of how the dance came out, with Taryn teasing Jules and Jules chasing every second of it until the kiss. OUGH! The little fiend in me blurred out "tu y yo" in the kiss scene to sorta symbolize Taryn beginning to move on from Atlas but as we see later, that was short lived. Taryn's monologue was the easiest to write and it comes from a person struggling with the bitter emotions of heartbreak.

8. October 8th: A formal introduction to Ares's life

⋆ Little lore drop but the Langs have been longtime characters of mine. In fact, longer than everyone else. Chase, Ares's father, was a main character of a youtube series I made long ago over the summers of my school days LMAO! So to revisit and restructure them as has been... WOW ! I wanted everyone to feel like they were a plant on a shelf observing the dynamics of specifically the women in Ares's life as well as the structure of his home. It felt subtle but good :)

9. October 18th: Kai's revelation

⋆ I think I have one more scene left for Kai's arc. I specifically wanted to focus on the concepts of jealousy, cognitive dissonance and religion coupled with Kai being a closeted man. I will say in the beginning, I did struggle to connect with this character. While some elements I can totally relate to, writing about it is different. Envy can be classified as an ugly feeling. It isn't palatable to most and is quickly shood away but because of that, we don't talk about it enough. So I wanted to go into this really humanizing this common emotion but not making it as some caricature of an emotion. I do love Kai's growth, I wanted to make sure he earned it and it sure feels like it.

10. November 23: The freaking arts festival

⋆ There's still like four-ish more posts to go. Those will be a bit less crash-out packed but I think it ends on a high note. There's a lot in these six posts. Some of it slightly nudging certain characters arcs, other parts deepening your knowledge of other oc's. I wanted to start out on the disappointment that Atlas faces seeing that the only person supporting him there is Daniela and how he copes in the only way he knows how. The arts festival is something he helped put together but it seems to be a reoccurring theme that any accomplishment he ever has is always overshadowed. It's always something. Each frame, every detail, to the dialogue in these two posts are intentional. The following scenes after that have some really cool conversations. I think the last post also has some unique dialogue as well but we'll pick back up on January 2nd! :)

Also a bonus! I wanted to show one of these first photos of Tessellate. It's no longer on my blog after the reboot but I wanted to show how much has changed in two years.

[puckleberryfinnie]

stop i love the fall update on ur page so yummyy

could i get legit anyone from beta squad with halloween costumes? thanks queen!

stop thank you so much?? just for being the first person I’ll do all of them bc I can’t choose 😻 this is just my thoughts on what I think they’d wear with you if you were to celebrate Halloween together!

Halloween Costumes with Beta Squad

Niko:

Joker and Harley Quinn

Pretty self explanatory I think- I just imagine him really getting into the role, acting all crazy the whole night. Him just holding onto you by the waist, showing you off to everyone. Both of your face makeups are completely ruined half way through the night from giving each other little smooches with the red lipstick 💋

Nick and Judy from Zootopia

Guys. The way he’d gain so much confidence with this omg? Same with the Joker, he’d get so into character and just flirt with you the whole night. (tee hee this one is personally my favorite I can’t lie)

Chunkz:

Tourist + Statue of Liberty

You’d both wait till the last minute to put something together but it’d still be the best costume of the night omg. Him wearing a “I ♥️ NY” shirt and he’d bring a little camera and take little Polaroids while you posed as the statue- SO CUTE!

Ken and Barbie

Ok I know this seems super unlikely but HEAR ME OUT. He knows how popular the movie is and knows how much you love it, so he agrees to do it with you- as long as he can be mojo dojo casa house Ken. He’d end up singing I’m Just Ken for the whole party ARG!

Aj:

Remy and Linguini from Ratatouille

The plus with this one is that you both could play either character 😋 If he’s the rat he’s pretending to hate it the whole night but secretly loves how amused it makes you. Either way though he’s being goofy with it the whole evening - he’s calling you “my little chef” ofc.

Coraline and Wybie

This one is so cute I can’t even. A bunch of people would ask for photos and you two cutie patooties would give the biggest smiles, hugging eachother closely! The shippers going absolutely insane with this one too🤩

Kenny:

Cop and Robber

Whichever one you want to be, he’d be the opposite, he doesn’t mind. The photos you take for insta would be so HAWT I can’t lie..

Bugs and Lola Bunny

This one would be so iconic too! Just giggles and laughs his laugh while walking around in the costume. Has his arm around your shoulder the whole time, telling you it’s so people know you’re together (everyone can tell either way but that besides the point😌)

Sharky:

Football (soccer) players

He’d be so excited for this one, AW. Ya’ll could really pick any players and still look absolutely amazing with this one <3 at this point he’s just using this as an excuse to show you off to everyone

Spiderman + Spidergirl

Yesyesyes. The amount of tiktoks he’d film with you while in costume would be through the roof. Upside down kiss?? Maybe?? I say yes personally😋. This or you could dress up as MJ either way you’re going to look amazing in his eyes <3

ok, hope this was decent! be sure to check out my fall event if you’d like something like this <33 thank you ever so much for reading and for the amazing request from anon <3

love ya!!

[luxlightly]

In line with my last post about getting good endings with companions, the writing of The Emperor really stands out in how it defies the expectations we have as players of a game of this nature. He's a very well written character who definitely wades through the very grey areas of morality and bends the truth so much he leaves you wondering just how much he's bought into his own lies,as well.

Major spoilers beneath the cut.

If you go through the same steps you do with other characters, endlessly giving him the benefit of the doubt, leaning into his comparisons of you to himself, helping him reminisce at the Elfsong. He seems to open up. You bring him back to his old home, seemingly listening to emotional secrets of his. All this culminating in him professing love for us. We expect this. It seems to be progressing normally as an ally would in a game. To the point where many might even kill the Gith prince for him.

So those who don't do so feel blindsided by his willingness to abandon us to join the elder brain the instant we won't do exactly what he asks.

But playing again, I picked options I wouldn't normally. I called him out for secrecy. I pressed him for the truth even when it seemed to truly hurt him.

And I didn't like what I found.

The Emperor is manipulative in such an organic way. He first pretends to be someone else entirely, but, when revealed, constantly poses himself as being at your mercy or otherwise making himself vulnerable to you. Every time he's caught in a lie, he says "ok this was a lie I had to keep to protect himself but only because it was basically the truth just with little details left out" and he does that again and again, each time pushing the truth a little farther, all while still insisting he has never lied to you.

He pretends that you just wandered into the prism in your dream because he was distracted and lonely, then he shows you little trinkets with cute stories attached at the Elfsong, giving you gifts in the form of his old armor and sword. He speaks so fondly of Duke Stelmane and acts so saddened by her death, then when you next see him in your dreams, he isn't wearing a shirt. All these things that make him seem so vulnerable. Like he's bared everything about himself.

Except he hasn't actually revealed anything. He tells you he was just some adventurer even though he knows how important who he was is to your quest. He acts like he and Stelmane were partners or friends. He never tells you anything about him, just anecdotes to make him seem relatable. Nothing but soft words to soften your heart and lower your guard.

And any time you express distrust or ask for proof or for him to be honest with you, he gets upset, he acts as though you are the one being cruel and unreasonable. As if you are hurting him after he made himself vulnerable for you.

So feels bad to select any dialogue choice that calls him out. That accuses him of what you suspect in your mind. Of what all the little red flags point to:

"You do a good impression of a human. But it's just an act, isn't it?"

And finally the facade comes down. He finally lets you see his thoughts. See something besides the story he concocted.

You see him torturing Stelmane, breaking her mind and reducing her to an empty shell. The same scenes he showed you before of them in a friendly partnership play again, this time revealing that she was just a glassy eyed puppet, her mind torn apart so he could use her body to serve him and control the city in secret.

"Be glad my methods have improved" he says. And tells you you were never anything but his puppet. That you never had a choice and you will not get a choice. That you are his thrall as much as Stelmane was.

And it feels like a real betrayal. Because he does a good job of acting the part. Even knowing you will mistrust him, even intending to mistrust him, you fall for at least pieces of it. And looking back the signs seem obvious and you see his you ignored them. Because that's how it was supposed to work. You were supposed to allow him to be vulnerable with you and be rewarded with his trust.

And that's exactly what he wanted you to think.

FAVE CREATORS ART CHALLENGE

The premise is simple. Just think of your fave creators on this site and write a post listing some of your fave creations that were made by them. Tell them why you like it, if the coloring is pretty, if the blending is top notch, if it inspired you or just gush about the characters... And don't forget to tag them so they can see it.

Radskier Kiss by @misterkarchie

What goes through my mind when I see this art is "Since the invention of the kiss, there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind." Enough said, I think. Actually, no. I really like that it's b&w -some pieces look better like that than in color, imo. Love the pose and the hand-holding, and how soft the hair looks!!! The lil' tear in Radovid's eye GOT ME. This looks so romantic and sweet I want to look at it forever.

Rhaenicent Appreciation Week Day 2 by @maxanor

Oh, you feel the show's relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra wasn't heartbreaking enough? Gifmakers got you covered! In all seriousness, the blue&gold compliment each other so well here. The blending is fantastic (special shout-out to the first gif with its mirroring tree scenes). The quote is as melancholic as these two, and the waterdrop effect... and the fact that it's used to transition from present to past… and how it makes it feel like tears falling on it because of the nostalgia of their happy memories??? Wow.

16 Years Of Merlin by @ughmerlin

I absolutely dig the VHS edits I've seen around this year, and this one is fantastic. Love that each season is color-coded and how each gets a few iconic scenes (and it can't have been easy to pick!). The blending is amazing, and the little circles with a choice quote are a cute touch. BBC Merlin was the very reason I joined tumblr, I can't believe it's been that long since it aired, and I can't believe that not only the fandom is still active but also making such cool pieces. I don't recall if I was still using VHS by the time I watched it, but this makes me feel like I can just pop it in and relive my first tumblr hyperfixation.

Family Tree Of House Nymeros Martell Of Sunspear by @ivashkovadrian

I've never been in a book fandom so dedicated to facecanons, and they're super fun! This one must have been A LOT of work. So many different characters from different pieces of media being brought together to represent characters that are unseen on screen, plus all the planning and organization to make everything fit and look good. Love the backgrounds, with a texture that reminds me of old parchment -special mention to the first gif with the gorgeous sea shot, and the second where the army appears to be riding into the unknown sandy void of the desert. And lastly I love to see fictional family trees, it kind of scratches an itch in my brain.

The Borgias Costume Appreciation 56 by @lady-arryn

As a costume-obsessed viewer, I have reblogged my fair share of costume edits on tumblr, and I can say with certainty lady-arryn's are the best. Eliza manages to gif crisp even the little details of the clothing and does gorgeous collections of outfits in different media. Although an incredible gifmaker overall who also has fantastic concepts, blending, fonts and coloring in other types of edits, I think making these costume edits is deceptively difficult! I could've pulled up any example, but I chose this one because this dress is one of my favorites. Along with that gauzy, dreamy sharpening, the coloring makes the red POP in a beautiful way. I once kept this gifset open on my browser for like an hour while doing other things simply because I wanted to keep looking at it.

Radskier + And If He Sinks To Darkest Night by @naumaxia-art

Kit is one of the visual artists who has been keeping this fandom watered throughout the drought, and I am very thankful for it. I love the layout of this piece in particular, which calls to mind the kings of a deck of cards. The cloudy orange to dark works wonders as a background that's pretty but doesn't steal attention away from the main event. LOVE the details (the tiny buttercup on Radovid's hand! The signet ring on Jaskier's! How soft and flowy the hair looks in the breeze!). And how they're together but back to back, separated but thinking about each other. The star-crossed lovers of it all......... Yeah.

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs + flowers by @endiness

Kai's colorings are always incredible, animation or live-action, it does not matter. I LOVE the sheer vibrance of them, taking me right back to the time in tumblr where this kind of extremely colorful gifs were everywhere. I struggled to pick one, but Snow White was my favorite movie as a child, and I love to see people giffing it, especially so beautifully. Plus, my grandmother watched this film in theaters and she absolutely loved it and was mesmerized by its color (I mean, it was 1937!). I wish I could show her the even more intense coloring of this gorgeous gifset of a simple lovely scene.

Kanthony + The Seven Stages Of Falling In Love by @crowley-anthony

There are many fandoms that have incredible talent (many of which are on this list), and Bridgerton is absolutely one of them. From the winning combo of blue&pink coloring (I am still amazed that people can just change a scene's coloring so dramatically and still make it look great), to the tiny quotes at the top of bottom that remind me of a movie poster, to the flawless blending, to the subject (who else is doing it like them, they're unhinged) to the level of detail (I did not notice the novel-esque writing background in the rings LITERALLY until i was writing this!!), this is an amazing example of that talent.

The Hunger Games Appreciation Week Day 01 by @nataliescatorccio

The best thing about finally watching this film for me was finally being able to unblock the tags and finally reblog all the beautiful edits people made of it. And this is the perfect example because!!! this!!! coloring!!! Becca's colorings being incredibly gorgeous is not new (her tutorials have really helped me this past year), but this set I feel is one of her best. I love an orange&teal combo, it's a trope for a reason (oxidized copper is such a beautiful color palette, a wise tumblrina once said). The blending is so good as usual. Putting this pairing with the Wuthering Heights quote is nothing short of brilliant, it fits scarily well. And the ombré in the font...

The Witcher: Wild Hunt Intro Monologue by @seance

As someone who this past year enjoyed The Witcher show, books and game, I love to see edits mixing and matching them, especially considering the frequent negativity one sees when it comes to this franchise. Pairing the truly epic monologue that begins the videogame with scenes from the Netflix show, this eerie edit blew me away with its incredible blending and striking coloring (and managing to make all these different scenes look well together in such intense yellow/blue can't have been easy). It managed to get me pumped for both the show and the game!

This feral man is a goner, brain is malfunction but his erection is instantaneous

Don’t even think about playfully running away from him, he will hunt you down

Wherever you are surprising him (in his office, living room, or kitchen), he is going to take you right there and then

“Fuck baby, you knew what you were doing, weren’t you?” He groans into your ear as he pins you against the nearest wall, pressing his clothed hardened cock against your ass. Turning your head, you flash him a seductive smile and he darkly chuckles. Oh, you’re in trouble now. His hands are wandering everywhere on your body, making you shiver with his touch. He gropes your tits with one hand and the other sliding into your wet panties. “Already drenched?” His smirk widens, the sound of him unzipping his trouser and teasingly rub his leaky tip against your slit. “Good, just how I like you to be. Always wet for me.”

Honestly, he prefers for you to show up naked if you want to entice him

But he won’t let this opportunity go to waste, he will appreciate the hell out of it

After all, what kind of boyfriend would he be if he doesn’t show you how much he loves your effort to captivate him?

“Go on, show me more. Don’t be shy.” A playful smirk plays on his lips, you meekly straddle him on the couch. Arching your back, your lingerie can barely hide your pebbled nipples and you grind your achy pussy on his clothed cock. “You’re needy, aren’t you?” His teasing tone matches his smile, “Beg me.” There is a glint of dominance in his lilac eyes. You whine and pitfully beg him to touch you. How can he say no to you? He sucks your pebbled nipples through the fabric and rubs his fingers against your panties. His erection grows when he feels your pussy juices drip through your panties. “Is this all you want, baby girl? I know you didn’t put this on just for my fingers.” 

You completely take him by surprise and make this dangerous man red as a tomato

Give him a few minutes to calm his poor heart and to recompose himself

He loves how sexy you are and how lucky he is to see you wearing a lingerie and this is all for him

“You’re so fucking sexy, babe.” Rin needs to worship you, your body is a temple to him. He lifts up your leg, kisses each inch of your plush skin. His dick is painfully throbbing, wanting to be released from his trousers. But his priority is to focus on your pleasure, after all you did dress yourself for him. He slowly rubs dick against the mattress to alleviate himself and moans as he gets closer to your sex. “So fucking beautiful.” His glossy lilac eyes stare into yours and his fingers are itching to pull your panties to the side to devour you, “Need to eat your sweet divine nectar. Let me have a taste.” 

Absolutely breath taken when he sees you in an aesthetic pleasing lingerie

Did you think of him when you picked out the design? You even picked his favorite color

He’ll take his time with you, want you to model for him and taking risque photos 

“Spread your pretty legs for me, darling.” Koko instructs you how to pose for his phone camera, finding the perfect angle and you hear the multiple shutters. “You’re doing so well, gorgeous.” He praises you with a naughty grin, “Now pull your panties aside.” Your eyes widen, shaking your head with heated cheeks. You sheepishly respond how embarrassing it is. “It’s for my eyes only, I promise.” He softly caresses your flush cheeks and sweetly reassures you. Easily persuaded by his comforting words, you pull it aside and his smirk widens, “Beautiful.” More camera shutters, “Smile for the camera, darling.”

Dating game that surprised me... A lot!

Recently I started to play a mobile game called "Love & deep space" and I need to admit it - This game really surprised me.

When my ex-friend showed me this game, all I saw was: dating, pretty 3D, Korean looking men. I told her it's pretty and didn't think much of it because it wasn't out yet.

Few days ago while trying to get up from bed in the morning I suddenly remembered about this game and I decided to check if it's out. It was, so I downloaded it and started playing.

At the very beginning, the game was just a pretty looking game. I need to say that wasn't ready for the kinda limited but nice character creator (no possibility to change chair color & length - only available in photo booth option) and a voice modification option.

Main character looks pretty!

I just played through the story and my jaw honestly dropped when my game suddenly flipped to the side for a fighting section of the game

I was not ready, BUT I quite enjoyed it. Fighting reminds me about Genshin on mobile, dodge, tap, tap, tap, be careful of your health, etc.

Fighting parts aren't THAT hard, but at the same time you need to upgrade your cards and add things to them to make them stronger. Pretty basic stuff.

There are lots of fight related activities that give really nice rewards and drop materials needed to making your team stronger.

NOW THE BEST PART! - THE MEN!

Game has three love interests

Xavier - The sleepy boy

Zayne - The doctor

Rafayel - The artist

Each of them have his place in the story, and each is so much more than he looks like at the very beginning.

I honestly love Rafayel, maybe because he is an artist... he is also a little annoying, but it's also kinda sweet. I have the most memories with him and the highest lvl.

Furthermore, I love how going through the main story isn't the only way to interact with them. The game provides lots of options to spend time with them and learn new stuff about them.

You can go hunt for plushies in a claw machine or play a game that is like tic-tac-toe but with cats and cards, or you can take a photo with them. One of my many favourite things, I mean LOOK:

(in order, I mentioned them before)

I love it because in this mode you can actually REALLY change your MC's look, which is wonderful! You can change your hair length, color, change make up, outfit and add accessories. Also, you pick poses and background. You also can do pics of your MC, just him or couple pics or mix of everything!

Of course, the main story isn't the only thing, there are also plenty of 'side mini stories' that are unlocked by getting specific memories.

THE LAST THING, I TRULY FALL IN LOVE WITH!

I am a sucker for ASMRs, especially the ones with my favorite characters. I can spend HOURS listening to those.

This game has something similar! You unlock specific audios by obtaining the right memories.

There are two versions - the first version is more of a story thing so you can listen, but it has "subtitles" that describe what MC says and what is happening. You don't have to, but yeah, it's a bit hard to imagine what's exactly happening sometimes.

But the other version... ooooh the other version. It's made to be JUST listen to! No subtitles or anything, just... listen and enjoy what you hear

In summary:

I really fall in love with this game. It's so much more than I expected it to be. It offers a lot of rewards and makes it easy to obtain decent cards without throwing your real money away. Sure, it's gacha game, but it's not as annoying as it could be. Sure, you still can spend money for it if you want extra features, but if you look for a game that isn't just about spending your money, it's a good pick.

Animations look nice, cards are pretty, voice acting is good, story is ok I'd say.

As for me, it's a good game! I am recommending it! A lot!

Why cars is almost my FAVOURITE animated movie of all time 

For those of you who aren't familiar with Cars let me sum it up. It starts with this rookie driver (Lightning Mcqueen) in a world where cars are living, there’s a race going on and due to his cockiness, it ends in a three-way tie, this leads to a final race being held in 7 days to decide the championship. On the way there Lightning falls out of his truck and gets lost only to destroy a road and end up having to fix it as no one there knows who he is. He is challenged to a race to leave early but slides off the track due to it being on dirt, Doc tells him he must turn right to go left to make the turn, Lightning does not believe this though. Until one day he finds out Doc is a famous racecar and later catches Doc driving and making that very turn. In the town, he begins to befriend the locals and get to know people before one night the town flocks with news crews and he is picked back up in his truck, leaving his newfound friends behind. 

 In the final race he isn’t doing too good until Doc comes over the radio and tells him to focus, the reappearance of his friends gives him the confidence and motivation to push through. As he catches the other two competitors once again, one pops his tire, and he must pit in which it is the fastest pit stop ever and shocks everyone. On the final lap he is behind the other two when the same person bumps into them sending Lightning off into the grass whilst the other two are sliding around, in this moment he remembers what Doc taught him and saves it gaining the lead in the process. Behind him the same person spins out the other racer sending him flying and tumbling. Upon seeing this lightning stops before the finish line and proceeds to drive back and push the crashed car across the line.  

This single act of sportsmanship sends a strong message to children watching it to which it is aimed at, the act of giving up one’s glory for another person to show that not everything has to be done for you and you can make a big difference on other people. And I think that character development is why it’s such a great movie. Lightning goes from being an overconfident and selfish racing driver to being a warmhearted friend. 

Another reason I love Cars is the music which fits the mood of each scene. The genre between locations changes, being more country while in radiator springs as a pose to being on a racetrack, this also changes depending who is on screen at the time too. I also like the cover versions of pre-existing songs which give a nice spice of vocals and come off more playfully and memorably.

((I’d like to mention that while it is an amazing movie the How to Train Your Dragon franchise still seals the deal as being my favorite.))

[wolf686]

My challenge continues with Uncanny X-Men (1963) #5!

We started with the X-Men dealing with Professor X losing his powers, but that's unimportant as we learn Pietro can apparently fly planes. I'm also unsure if this is when Asteroid M was first introduced in comics, but that appears to be where this issue is set.

The Brotherhood are searching for the X-Men and failing, causing Magneto to be incredibly aggressive and rude, but it's to Toad so apparently it's okay.

Being rude to Pietro, however, I find inexcusable. Asshole.

But, do notice Pietro being more avoidant, not wanting to fight the X-Men again. Also notice that Wanda immediately backs up Pietro due to him saying what she has been thinking this whole time, yet not brave enough to say verbally. It's once again showing how Pietro is the more proactive twin while Wanda follows behind, something I'm excited to see change in later comics.

The Brotherhood had come up with a plan to get Toad to pose as an innocent Mutant that the X-Men could save, however Beast picks up on it midway through their journey on public transport (???). Very off topic, but I cannot imagine seeing the X-Men on a train, I'd personally freak out harder than I ever have before.

Back on topic, Toad goes to run away and the rest of the Brotherhood appears, with Quicksilver being the last one to show. I don't know if it's a coincidence but I am a fan of how Cyclops and Quicksilver keep running into each other specifically.

A direct quote from Pietro, which I find hilarious; "Blast it! I didn't realise he could use his beam while I was holding his arms!" I apparently have severely overestimated Pietro's intelligence.

For context, Magneto decided to trade Toad for Angel and is now keeping Angel in Asteroid M. I know this series isn't about Wanda, but when talking about Pietro, she's necessary to speak of as well.

So, Wanda still having this faith in Magneto, that he wouldn't ever kill someone, is fascinating in a way. She wants so fully to believe in the man who saved her, even to the point of ignoring nearly every single red flag he's shown.

Despite how terrible Magneto is to Wanda at every given moment, she follows him despite it all.

The X-Men have infiltrated Asteroid M now and Magneto is once again promoting murder, to which Wanda disagrees. For the first time now, Wanda actually acts against Magneto and hexes the control panel, making it impossible for him to open the air lock.

He goes to threaten Wanda and Pietro immediately steps in to protect her, as he always does.

That line from Pietro is probably the most defining line that could be used for him. His entire character is basically a tool specifically for keeping Wanda safe, it's how writers treat him and it's how he seems to view himself. His self-worth is tied up completely in how of worth he can be to his sister, I would love it if this could be explored, but I don't think it ever really is.

The X-Men then attack, cutting the family drama short and once again putting Cyclops and Quicksilver together, something I am growing to love.

Scott tries to talk Pietro into joining the X-Men and the only reason Pietro refuses is because Magneto saved his sister, that he owes Magneto for that. Again, tying Pietro's self-worth to Wanda.

Now, we see Pietro's trust issues in full blast, he truly believes he has no one except for Wanda. The differences in Wanda, so scared that she forces herself to trust people who never should be, compared to Pietro, who completely and utterly refuses to trust anyone.

Scott manages to grab Pietro, making Magneto demand Wanda put a hex on Scott. Wanda refuses and then that's kind of it for a while. Next we see Magneto and Wanda, they've seemingly left Scott and Pietro to grapple each other on the floor, which is... strange.

Then Magneto runs into Pietro and Scott on the floor and appears to be surprised by it? As if he hadn't just left them behind to fight alone. He punches Scott off of Pietro and simply throws him to his potential death, which he couldn't done a lot earlier.

And that's it for Pietro, as the X-Men escape after saving Scott and leave the Asteroid behind.

[anneapocalypse]

What was their initial impression of the four claimants? How did this change over the course of the story?

Her first impression of Wuk Lamat was overall positive, though Ariane pretty quickly picked up on the fact that she was covering up some big insecurities. (She knows what it feels like when you don't really feel qualified but you have to rise to the occasion anyway.)

(Quick summary for context: a big point in Ariane's own story is that post-Endwalker, her sister Gratienne shows up alive (each of them having believed the other dead in the Calamity). Grati had turned to a life of... privateering, and had been at sea out near Dalmasca when she picked up a few key details about this Warrior of Light back in Eorzea and was like, no... it couldn't be... but what if... It took her some time to get out of her current contract, and get back to Eorzea, and she shows up at Ariane's house on her birthday and they have a very emotional reunion.)

SO, Gratienne is with her when she meets Wuk Lamat! And those two really hit it off. They just have an energy that really meshes, there's maybe some chemistry there, they have similar senses of humor and are frequent seen laughing their asses off together.

It's hard for Ariane not to like someone who vibes so well with her sister, and that's a big part of her wanting to help. Once in Tural, over the course of Wuk Lamat's journey through the Rite of Succession, they become surprisingly good friends.

Koana she's intitially a little intimidated by, because though she's come a long way getting past it as she's gotten closer to her Scion friends and of course Urianger, there's still a little kernel of insecurity deep down that she comes off as uneducated and less intelligent next to the archons, and while Koana isn't an archon he's obviously very intellectually inclined. Naturally she can see why he sought the help of Urianger and Thancred. (And in her story, because she's in a relationship with Urianger, she did know that from the start and they talked about it and both decided to go through with it.) But all that changes when she sees Koana react to his sister being in danger. The love she sees between the siblings is very real and familiar to her.

Which makes Zoraal Ja and his distance from his siblings even more confusing to her. Ariane does not see his betrayal coming. She does have some worries about how he's going to react to losing to not one but both of his siblings, but she does not expect the extent of his anger and resentment, maybe out of a certain amount of naivety--after all, the other two are so close, surely this was a loving and close-knit family all around, even if their other brother is more reserved?

I think Grati, who has spent the past 5+ years interacting with a lot more shady characters and who lacks Ariane's tendency to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, is a lot more wary of Zoraal Ja from the start, and picks up on a lot of the little red flags that Ariane does not, but it's not like she has anything concrete; she doesn't know the guy, at the end of the day. (She also might be slightly motivated by thinking that Wuk Lamat is hot and shit-talking her brother to her face might not be the best way to stay in her, uh, good graces. I've yet to decide if that ship happens in some way. 😉 We'll see.)

When it comes to Bakool Ja Ja, Ariane is a bit baffled as to why he's in the running to begin with--his motives seem openly selfish and his actions are reckless and she wonders at multiple points why Gulool Ja Ja doesn't simply disqualify him as a claimant, when his rule would so clearly pose a danger to Tural's people. This comes largely from her lack of understanding of Mamool Ja culture, and what the optics would actually be of barring him from competing. She learns along the way, but it's not until Ja Tiika that she truly understands.

CPN : XZS vlog chapter 5.5 Rome & Paris 📺

just some bits and pieces that we picked up from the recent vlog shared by xz and his team. honestly, their work just keeps getting better and better. no one does it like them. some people may hate on him for the ‘vlogs’ but at this point, the production quality is on par with something you can show on tv or a streaming app. xz’s travel show when….

as usual, everything is fake and interpreted with turtle/cpn glasses on. if you don’t like it then feel free to scroll — no one is forcing you. ‼️‼️

Let’s start with the date of posting which 3/29, out of all the days he could have shared this, why now? They usually go for Thursdays but not this one. We think it’s a late 3/28 gift, that day is Wuji recording and also when WYB came home from his Rome trip. What a nice coincidence, cause the vlog posted had Rome in it too. These two are really so particular with dates! I can’t. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

1. One thing that stood out to me was when he was looking at a design book. He was talking about designing typeface and letter, and how there are different formations in writing or presenting them. I don’t think that it was ever CPN that he likes to play with letters/ characters to give a different meaning. or to hide something. think : yibo’s motorcyle suit. this just confirms that.

( i have talked about most ( if not all ) of the design bits and hidden meanings per the photos above and more. it’s too much for me to link each one so just feel free to explore this blog. )

2. The way he was eating the lollipop and his pose is so WANG YIBO. I’m sorry, but that’s the first thing that came to mind. Yibo and his oral fixation is real and we see it on SDC most of the time. 😂 They really mirror each other’s habits now and do certain things that make you go “wait… that’s totally xx behavior and not his..”

people are wondering if they saw the fanart of them eating 🍭 at some point and copied it unconsciously.

3. The element of romance in this vlog makes me wanna scream! honestly. Sure, you can argue that the place ( especially paris ) is romantic or that he is doing fan service to the viewers — like, you’re in a romantic weekend with me in Paris. Yeah. Sure. that’s a plausible explanation. but for a clown like me, the elements seem deliberate.

The lines in Moon River:

I'm crossing you in style some day // Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker // Wherever you're going, I'm going your way // Two drifters, off to see the world // There's such a lot of world to see // We're after the same rainbow's end.

He sang the line ‘ i’m crossing you in style some day ‘ — yeah, ZZ. you will be with WYB one day in Rome and Paris. and the mention of a Rainbow. 🌈 I need someone to make a fan video with this as a BGM please.

Next is JVKE’s golden hour. This one has more 👀 lyrics. The whole “golden” and “see you shine” just screams his love for anything about the sun. the sun and his sunflower ☀️ and the mention of summer.

We were just two lovers // Feet up on the dash, drivin' nowhere fast // Burnin' through the summer // Radio on blast, make the moment last // She got solar power

I also don’t really buy it when people say “he doesn’t understand the lyrics, don’t think to much..” i mean. are you really lowkey insulting him at this point? he may not know like the details, but i’m pretty sure he understands the general meaning. and like, it’s not that hard to understand english words. come on.

The style for the intros were also reminiscent of the movie Roman Holiday. Maybe they looked up a movie and watched it. but anyway, the story of this is also a romantic movie.

Yes we know you’re not single. ☺️☺️☺️☺️

4. He wore a long wooyoungmi coat which I talked about here. So looks like that’s where the paper bag was from? but if he already wore it, why bring the bag like that? it’s not that precious of a cargo to hand carry anyway. i’m still eating the candy.

5. Same place, but years apart. ⏱️

6. How he was trying to ride the scooter makes me soft. I feel like the influence of riding things like this ( and even the hoverboard he owns ) is from WYB. 🥹 He can’t do motorcycles, but he is willing to try everything else. The whole image of him riding it reminds us of the loyiboard character design too!

7. When you see what’s on screen during the 2:28 timestamp, it’s a dog. Lol. thinking of your puppy back home? There are also two other shots where a dog is there, but not as deliberate as this one.

8. It looks familiar 🤔🤔🤔🤔

9. It depends on how you see it, 8 or infinity. I’ve really been up in arms with this CPN and feel like we will see more of it.

10. The message ZZ brings in this vlog is the best thing tho. from the caption of the video on weibo :

The best time is on the road, to listen In the heart, to draw inspiration, to travel far, to find a different self. Feel free to do what you want👣

I love how he is encouraging people, in a way, to get out there. which was always his message to fans, to have time to go outside and build themselves up. Don’t spend too much time online. Also the bit about feel free to do what you want. I really hope he gets to do that more. I hope he gets to make choices that lean more towards the things he wants. 💕

and this bit : ( to native speakers, feel free to chime in too )

“in the long run the straw weighs” = despite the light weight, everything becomes heavy if you bring it for too long.
