The more I look at my most recent art the more the flaws pop out. It looks amateurish in a way even my really old stuff never did. Not helped by the new-to-me manga style.

The size of the head could be brushed off as perspective (viewer is standing slightly above, and Dorian is leaning forward) but no.

It was simply made too large and was not resized when I had the chance. His face was also made too wide for the three quarter angle, which in reality should slim a face.

I even think the angle was a bit off in an unflattering way, making the face appear as flat and wide as possible. Remind me to check out some guides on photography blogs to work out wtf I did there.

Putting his muzzle on him made it worse. I'm thinking that the horizontal bars drew the eyes sideways.

Also the black parts securing it at the sides of his face were high visual weight, being large, solid, and very dark. I quote the definition of high visual weight - your eyes will be drawn to the parts that are "bigger in size, simpler in shape, use dark colors, or have high contrast." Those parts of the muzzle are all of the above and at the bad angle both sides were shown.

So yes, obviously your eyes will be further drawn from side to side emphasising the width. Mental reminder to take this into account next time.

Packing more hair on the other side of his face in an attempt to cover up some of the width only made his head look larger and disrupted the diagonal created by his body and hair. It messed with the composition.

Also with the position of his features (especially mouth) and the angle of the muzzle the chin should have been angled further up, blunted and foreshortened. Otherwise the features should have been lowered and the muzzle angle less severe.

As a tall adult man he also needed to be longer and sturdier in the body and limbs. I was trying to make him strong without being bulky but he looks too compact and delicate.

I also need to study and practice the curve of fringes (bangs) at different angles.

The grey of his hair and PJs were different and had different finishes but a bit monotonous.

Dorian's hair was also too cool and dark grey. He's an albino with pale peachy white hair. Maybe very pale greige. I keep giving him iron grey because I haven't yet chosen or mixed the right colour. I skipped the highlights and it looked very flat compared to his shiny pyjamas. It's also too straight and not fluffy.

The picture does have its charm though.

Dorian's expression is less soft and dreamy than the original inspiration but he looks giddy and lovestruck. Cute. I originally wanted to have his face and hair illuminated by pink light streaming through the window, and call it 'Pink In the Night' after the Mitski song.

My favourite bit is his shoulders and his hands. I was making educated guesses at anatomy from the shoulders and underarms (I haven't studied that yet) but I did put some thought and work in there. The hand and fingers are a little simple but I'm pleased with them. (Going back I would have coloured that little gap as flesh though, to show his thumb. It actually was flesh coloured and I went and absent mindedly screwed it up.)

I did learn a lot of new things doing it by the book. Especially with the inking, which made me change some brushes to suit my needs.

I'm very happy with actually doing the figure drawing from scratch rather than chicken scratching or guessing the strokes by eye, and using the grid method was a good guide.

Dividing the canvas into a grid of thirds ('the rule of thirds') will also be good for original composition if I get to that.

And at least I'm working out why I'm not satisfied with my work so I can break down each part, rather than just hating it.

I was initially trying a manga style due to being intimidated by fine art tutes and hoping it would help me work more efficiently. (Rather than getting stuck on detail and never finishing, or attempting things too advanced and getting frustrated.)

But it seems a little of what I've read and seen has soaked in. Perhaps I should get back to the fine art angle more because it seems I'm decent at rendering but also literally never learned the fundamentals.

There's a video by Stephen Bauman called "I wish I knew this when I was an art student" where he brings up something called 'blocking in'. Other videos on the sidebar refer to this as a quick method and maybe it'll work for me better than the unfamiliar manga style that results in fat heads.

He also talks about the fear factor and intimidation that can put someone off from art, which is very relevant to me. It was reassuring to hear that it's normal and there are ways to manage it.

You asked for some hc requests and oh boiiiiii ok so what about being the biggest brat to Ransom after having been on your best behavior for quite awhile? I just want him to give me an attitude adjustment 🥴 okie dats all ilyyyy!

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲

warnings: dd/lg, daddy kink, petnames (little girl, kitten), degradation, spanks, bratty reader, pussy spanking, brief spitplay, rough and mean ransom, unprotected sex, and i think i was on crack today so i have no clue wtf happened here and its kinda long

18+ ONLY MINORS DNI. DO NOT TRANSLATE OR COPY MY WORK ANYWHERE.

author’s note: yesyes ilymore ms amalia😚 this is just really filthy and i dont even know what the fuck happened in this but yeah <3

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈•ﾟ｡

ransom is shocked by your behaviour to say the least, he knew how much of a brat you were capable of being, trust him on that one

but recently you had been nothing but the most well behaved angel, completing all your responsibilities, helping out with chores even when he didn't ask you to, always having a big smile on your face rather than a pout

but this morning, you woke up in a presumably obnoxious mood.

he ordered you your favourite breakfast, from an overpriced café but they had your favourite iced coffee and croissants so he figured he would spoil you with that, maybe you just woke up hangry?

that obviously was not the case when you huffed and puffed the whole way through breakfast, flicking the flakes of the buttery croissant at ransom and onto the floor. he bit his tongue and clenched his jaw, letting you off with just a warning for now

later on that laidback saturday, ransom was reviewing some manuscripts and jotting down suggestions in his home office. he had left you to occupy yourself with your switch, colouring books and what ever else it was that you did during the time he wasn't there to supervise you

colouring in just the colouring books was so boring! how dare he limit your creativity to one boring paper. and thats when the idea clicked in your head, gears turning when you realized you would just express your creativity on a bigger canvas, on your white table.

ransom, having his daddy senses telling him he should probably go check on you, is absolutely enraged when your crayons are swiping on the desk rather than the pieces of paper you tore up and threw on the ground

you look up at him and giggle, sticking your tongue out and a mischevious glint in your eyes as you begin to exclaim "daddy! look at the colou-" your sentence is cut off by your own shriek when ransom pulls you up by your wrist, subsequently snapping your favourite purple crayon

you wail loudly, pushing at his chest and stomping your feet because not only did he ruin your fun, he ruined your crayon too

ransom doesn't budge, his already melting patience wearing even thinner as you shriek and cry, pools of tears running down your face as you kick at his legs

"stupid dumb asshole daddy! you broke my crayon!! go away!!!" you yell, voice thick with tears and that's when ransom snaps

he crouches down to your level, holding your jaw in his hands roughly and you subsequently halt your dramatic crocodile tears, mischeviousness once again painting your features as you abruptly stop crying

"what is your problem today kitten? huh? aren't you always such a good girl for me?"

a sly smile creeps up on your face, "i am a good girl hugh."

an overwhelming need to dominate you and show you who was in charge consumes ransom, you knew what you were supposed to call him and it definitely was not his given name

he roughly pulls you back up by your neck, you can practically see the steam coming from his ears and you gasp in surprise at the sudden movements

"what the fuck did you just call me little girl?" he glowers

your hand wraps around the wrist that is curled around your neck, a giddy smile still on your face as you managed to get under your daddy's skin perfectly "i called you hugh, is that not your name, hugh?"

within a split second you're being thrown over ransom's lap on the couch in the room and you squeal in surprise and kick your legs at him "let me go!! i don't want your stupid fucking spanks! hmph!”

he chuckles, though there is no amusement in his tone whatsoever as he pulls your shirt up and shorts and panties down, hand colliding with your ass roughly, echoing in the room and making you scream

“you know exactly what you’re supposed to call me you dumb baby, should have spanked you the second you rolled your eyes at me at breakfast like an ungrateful little brat.” he spits, pinning your hands at the small of your back when you try to shove him with your hands

you whimper when he delivers another harsh spank to your searing skin, burying your face in the couch and tears pooling your eyes

“you’re gonna count each one and give me a proper apology, understand little girl? and if you don’t listen, so help me god i will make you regret it.” he growls out

with that, he begins to spank you with a heavy hand, these weren’t the types of spankings he did for your enjoyment, this was a punishment and with the way his hand was coming down onto your ass, it sure fucking felt like one

“one! i’m sorry daddy!” you sob out, and ransom almost smirks, for all your earlier fire you sure are a submissive little brat now

your wetness still pools between your thighs and it makes your face burn with shame, you’re sure that the image is quite obscene

you, squirming and crying on his lap as he continues to deliver harsh swats to your asscheeks

that is enough to make you rub your thighs together subtly in a futile attempt to quell the overwhelming ache forming there but ransom is quick to pull your thighs apart, spanking the slick skin of your cunt in scolding

“little fucking whore, can’t even take a punishment without making a mess every where. keep your fucking legs apart before i tie them with my belt.”

his chest expands when your slick hole quivers at his tone, so he spanks you again and you cry out louder, pleading him

he shushes you and spreads your folds apart, spitting down onto your pussy and you’re unable to hold back your moan from the lewd action

he begins to circle your tight hole with his thumb, neglecting your throbbing clit

you whimper and bite your tongue, refraining from saying anything bratty but you push your hips out

“aww what is it kitten? what do you want daddy to do?”

“want d-daddy to touch me there please!” you whimper, surprised at how merciful he was suddenly being

he inserts the tip of his thumb into your hole and your knees buckle, you were so worked up this was already about to make you cum

until he pulls his thumb out and spanks your cunt again and you cry out at the sudden sharpness

“little fucking whore, you think you’re gonna get what you want after you’ve been so difficult? are you really that stupid kitten?” he hisses condescendingly and you cry, legs quivering and cunt and ass burning

he barely gives you time in between each spank, a total of 25 registered to your now sore and spent ass, that was currently on fire, your voice raw and hoarse from crying

he smirks at the sight of your ass bruising already, knowing he full and well spanked the brat out of you just now but this was just the beginning of your punishment, you had been getting on his nerves all day and you were going to pay

you whimper out for him and he tuts, rubbing your sore ass carefully as he begins to speak to you again lowly

“you were a very bad girl today, do you think bad girls deserve daddy’s cock?” he asks, wrapping his hand around your neck and pulling you up

“n-no daddy i don’t.” you answer, looking into his now dark blue eyes

he sighs, pushing your legs off of him and manhandling you so you were face down ass up on the floor as he got on his knees and began to pull his cock out and it all makes your head spin

“you’re right, bratty little whores don’t deserve daddy’s cock but you’re lucky i’m feeling generous kitten.”

you whimper when he runs the tip of his cock over your dripping, swollen folds. his own cock head pulsing against you when he folds his broad chest over your back,

“you’re gonna take this dick in your little pussy, and you’re going to remember who the fuck you’re talking to, understand?”

you nod your head and push your hips back, tears running down your face, already utterly and thoroughly fucked out and he hadn’t even filled you up yet

and when he shoved his cock inside of your dripping, pulsing little hole in one thrust your legs buckled beneath you

he barely gave you time to adjust to his way above average size before he was pounding into you, holding your arms behind your back and other hand latching onto your clit, rubbing messy circles on the button

your mind was unable to form a single cohesive thought, the only thing you could feel was daddy, the noises you were letting out were straight whorish as he growled his appreciation for your wet little cunt

“that’s it, go stupid for daddy, you can’t fucking help it when my cock is in you like this can you hmm? answer me slut!” he growls, pressing down hard onto your clit and you whine out, mumbling unintelligibly and his chest swells with pride

“stupid little cumdump, i know this is just what you needed, now fucking take it all and i’m only gonna stop when i think you’ve learned your lesson.”

What type of kids do you think the ikevamp guys would be if they went to high school?

Oh boy HERE WE GO

(Under a cut bc this post is a Long Boi^TM)

Napoleon. Would prbly be that kid that’s like somehow bafflingly in the top ten of his class but nobody ever sees him??? Like he’s always late to school or napping in the quietest places on campus (they found him in a locker once and the school was laughing about it for WEEKS bc he insisted he was just chillin, and it wasn’t like a bullying incident he just wanted to sleep LMAO). Surprisingly amiable? A lot of people are afraid of him at first but he’s just so casual and direct, he gains quite a few friends (and a good number of girls have a crush on him--he always diverts the attention of skeevy guys). Good friends with Jeanne because they fence together a lot, and people are always baffled at how easily they chat

Mozart. Where do I begin. Number one in his class, perfectionist prick. That one kid that’s a known prodigy and that everyone hates for his impeccable grades and musical talent. Always gets the solos and conducting roles in the school performances. He knows how to play a crowd--will always be sweet and cherubic in front of teachers. But when it’s just the students? All gloves are off. Frigid and incendiary, will not take any shit and will tear you apart with words in milliseconds. Do not cross. He will end your entire life and self-esteem, it’s not worth it. Has a few friends, and they often experience the disdain of jealous students--but they’re all steadfast about defending him. And Mozart will not tolerate it if people are mistreating his friends, he’s an iron wall of defense; to be his friend means to always have someone looking out for you, make no mistake. He and Jeanne often grab food together after practice and ask about each others day, they hella close but never really show it while school’s on--their class schedules are worlds apart bc of their grades, and at lunch they’re usually practicing/doing hw. When they hug it out at graduation and pat each other on the back everyone nearly falls the fuck out of their chair LMFAO

Leonardo. That kid that 100% could probably be in the top fifty of his class but just can’t be bothered to give a damn. Always argues points with his teachers and plays devil’s advocate until they are inches from exploding at him. Always the one to mercifully make class feel shorter with his absolute distraction-heavy shitfuckery (and sometimes you really learn something because of his line of thinking). He's a dumbass but like harmless, essentially. Used to be the perfect student^TM and then decided the system was bullshit and he wanted no part of it, thinks public education can kiss his ass. Nobody knows it since he asks people not to talk about it, but he tutors kids after school for hours--has brought kids from Ds to Bs. He always dodges nosy people, never goes to parties, and finds ways to intervene around kids that are struggling with smth (with ninja stealth of course). Despite how easily he laughs and chats with just about anyone, he’s...actually surprisingly v much a lone wolf. Only ever consistently hangs out with the heartthrob rich kid, but nobody understands why???? And they’re always roasting each other wtf, are they even friends????

Comte. Pretty boy genius, always in the top five of his class though doesn’t seem too worried about it or obsessed with rank as students often are. It’s more that his parents have high expectations for his future as their heir, so he tends to fall in line with it. Born into money but somehow....not an asshole??? He doesn’t really like showing off, tries to be quiet about his accomplishments but his parents won’t really allow it--and he’s the star of the soccer team so it can be hard to hide. Most often the one at a party trying to help people sober up (always designated driver) or hearing his friends out when they have a problem. Has never publicly tried to bust heads, but some of the guys in the school insist he’s got a dark side--probably because he threatened them (passive aggressively) within an inch of their lives for being disgusting to girls. But nobody believes them bc...I mean look at him, does that look like a threat?? He just bought that kid’s lunch for christ’s sake. TONS of girls ask him out and confess their feelings, and he always lets them down as gently as he can--conceivably doesn’t like anyone himself, as far as the student body knows. Like Leonardo he’s v amiable, but also manages to reveal nothing personal while getting close. Leonardo’s the only one that’s managed to scratch the surface, and the kid won’t leave him alone for some godforsaken reason. And yet, he seems to enjoy their minutes of banter more than the hours of time spent with “friends”

Arthur. Oh boy. Good lord. Well. He used to be a sweetheart that would always seek out the mousier students and bring them into discussion/involve them on the playground. But alas, Teenage Jadedness^TM hit him like a train and now he’s an incorrigible flirt and believes no single person can be good deep down (somebody get this bitch some eyeliner). Believes the world will always be a cruel and unfeeling place where victims are never heard, so he just kind of goes full skeptical and bitter (think Sylvain for those of you that are FE fans). Has fun with every girl he sees (usually dating several girls at once) and doesn’t much care for his grades, but somehow has perfect scores in English?? He insists it’s because he needs to keep his seduction game on par with the voices of older legends before him, but some of the girls that see him in the library from time to time--v serious--are struck by how attractive he is in such deep focus, entirely uncharacteristic of his nosy and boisterous behavior in the halls (can often be seen whirling around Isaac like a bird of prey while our little baby robin Isaac stiffly tries to get away from him, and Dazai often joins to make things even more chaotic bc why not? In reality they just love this feisty kid that never gives up on what’s right, even though they’ve both given up trying themselves)

Dazai. He’s one of those kids that like does weed regularly but is also like...alarmingly insightful?? Like those kids I was always told to avoid, but now and again I would have conversations with out of necessity and was just...kinda shook. I mean granted he’s a little weird but he’s fairly harmless?? He’s like a class clown but on a massive scale--there’s nobody in the place that doesn’t know who he is, that haven’t heard tales of his exploits (he always comes in through the windows and gets detention for it a lot, and he even brought a chicken with him to school once????) nobody gets what he’s doing at any moment (don’t even know if he does really, chaotic mofo) and honestly nobody wants to know they just do the side eye meme when he appears or laughs. The teachers lament his untapped potential or just hate him for making their lives an even bigger headache than usual, and his grades are...yeah let’s not look at those. Organized the senior prank with absolute GLEE, and it was talked about for ages after he was gone--an inspiration chaotic bastards everywhere

Theodorus. (I hate.......that I pictured him in those like Vineyard Vine white boy clothes.......for the record its mostly bc his parents force him to wear them). All business. This kid doesn’t have time for your bullshit, will absolutely walk away if you’re boring him or seeking social clout. Popular because he’s hot and has a mean streak a mile wide, all the girls that didn’t like Mozart for being ethereal and effeminate boomeranged to find Theo ready to fulfill their hopes and dreams. They only grow more feral when rumors of him actually being fairly nice one on one--and telling creeps to fuck off of vulnerable girls at parties--start to circulate. (If he isn’t with Vincent, Arthur is probably near. Nobody understands how the two are brothers????) Van Gogh name apparently is just “I can be your angel or i can be your devil” and no one understands how... Grades are average and he’s plenty capable, most of his time is spent working after school because his parents refuse to provide Vincent with any artistic materials (canvas, paints, etc). They ask him to go to parties more, but he only goes to piss his parents off (he’s v lowkey punk and it’s understandably sexy of him). Will literally only listen to Vincent, and got in a looooot of trouble after getting into a fistfight with Shakespeare. Only stopped because his parents blamed Vincent for the incident, and Vincent apologized and went quiet for days ;-;

Vincent. Always been quiet and shy, but he doesn’t dislike ppl--he just has a hard time speaking up now and again. His parents always talk over him and tell him nothing he has to say has any real value, so he tends to struggle with a lot of self-doubt. Not isolated because he’s not likeable, it’s more because people tend to take advantage of his mild and earnest nature--until Theo runs them off. He’s on amiable terms with most people but has no real, true friends and it makes him feel lonely a lot. Mostly copes with the emotional turmoil by painting as much as he can. His grades are average, he does reliably well but can often be found daydreaming or distracted. Theo tends to escort him everywhere because of his propensity to attract danger (namely Shakespeare) or walk into things cuz he’s in his head a lot. A few of the artsier girls and the quiet academic girls have HUGE crushes on him (he’s softspoken, sweet, and calm; come on now), but he’s so distant--and honestly nice to everyone in equal measure--that they don’t have much hope of it coming to fruition. This kid deadass doesn’t think a single girl would ever like him that way so he’s just c:???????? when Theo talks about “those nosy harpies coming after my brother”

Jeanne. EDGY MCEDGE. Isn’t amazing in the academic department, but he’s a killer fencer--the rallying cry of the entire team. He became leader his sophomore year and he’s pretty much the only reason they keep destroying at tournaments throughout the year. Despite the pervasive interest in him he intimidates most people away with his swift intensity and ironclad stoicism. Silent as a grave and very still, people are convinced he’s the Grim Reaper reincarnated (listen he’s juST A DUTIFUL BABIE N O). If he isn’t fencing or practicing, Isaac often offers him help in the library after school hours in one of the study rooms (can’t be seen who’s inside from the outside). The two develop a kind of uncanny bond; they’re both so...bad at human-ing that they find a lot of comfort in the atmosphere they create. There’s none of the bullshit grandstanding or clout obsession, just them genuinely trying to help each other (yes Jeanne absolutely teaches Isaac self-defense moves in order to crush the kids that pick on him, and Jeanne often either glares or outright threatens those students when Isaac isn’t looking). Only ever smiles or feels understood when he’s hanging out with Mozart, so he cherishes the time Mozart offers him to hang (he knows the kid is busy up to his eyeballs and under a ton of pressure by comparison, his parents don’t care much as long as they can brag about his fencing records)

Isaac. Mega nerd that just...does not know how to interact. Only understands math and DESTROYS in competitive math club, but otherwise is always alone at lunch or just in the library. A little bean pole because he doesn’t look after himself very well (neglects to eat a lot) and can sometimes be found asleep on his books. If approached he will be very thorny, doesn’t have any friends to speak of and trusts everyone about as far as he can throw them. Yells at Arthur and Dazai a lot when they flock around him, and has gotten into his fair share of fights. Never starts fights, but will finish them. People are surprised he can hold his own, and he comes away with blood that ain’t his. There are a few girls that are curious about him, but its mostly the ones that have seen his awkward thoughtfulness in club--or the girls that are sick of the assholes and appreciate how stalwart he is. He really just wants to be left in peace (his parents never show up to his meets or when he wins academic awards, and the few teachers that notice are pretty concerned abt his reactivity and complete lack of social savvy...) Leonardo always helps him sneak in at night to look at the stars on the school roof

Shakespeare is p much the like “kid most anticipated to be in jail as soon as they’re out of high school” He just. Has that like...serial killer vibe??? Idk if I’m explaining this well but he was that guy that would always cling to genuinely compassionate girls just trying to be nice like a LEECH, and would never fucking shut up if he did or didn’t get attention. You just can't win with this kid. Probably wanted to kill the kids that made fun of him or at the very least wanted to lash out against the confident/popular/nice kids. Only liked you if he didn’t deem you a threat, or if you didn’t make him insecure, or if you tolerated him (aka Vincent. Vincent PLEASE stop trying to reach out to dangerous ppl....I love you too much to watch this shit...) He admitted as much to Theo and the kid went livid with rage and pummeled him into the ground, though most of the rest of the student body doesn’t know quite what happened. (Theo refuses to explain to anyone, and just walks away if asked). Shakespeare will just change the subject endlessly and make passive aggressive threats until the person leaves if they try to bring it up. The only time the entire class has EVER seen Leonardo mad is when Shakespeare kept tailing this girl that wanted no part of him

Sebastian. Nerdy like Isaac, but is more of the silent observer type. Like Theo, doesn't want any part of the bullshit but won't be as blunt or outspoken about it, he's only open about it if pressed or pissed off. Doesn't have much patience for the clique-driven nature of high school and tends to take an interest in the people who stand out beyond the mind-numbing drama. Also is in the top fifty but studies like a lunatic, and can often be seen asking Comte for tips now and again. Has tried talking to Mozart and admires his talents, but Mozart gives a cold shoulder that would put Antarctica to shame. (Leonardo tries to ninja him into taking breaks but never succeeds). Has a great deal of disdain for the troublemakers (Arthur and Dazai) but doesn't intervene, just watches shit go down and sighs. Probably the most normal(?) one of the bunch, just does his best and keeps his head down

okay i know what you’re thinking “MIA THAT LOOKS SO HARD WTF” and yeah, you’d be right... but its not as hard as it looks, i promise. for this, you’re going to want a screenshot of any character you want. i chose bryan here because he inspires me to create the darkest, most angsty-looking graphics i can create, and you’re going to want a grainy texture that i’ll hook you up with when you need it.

crack open that photoshop and open up a canvas with the sizing; width; 500 height; 500 resolution; 300

for this, you want a dark colour. anything from DARK grey to black works well here.

as you can see here, i went for a dark as heck grey.

open up your screenshot. i went with a shot that has space above the head, and that’s just a preference. you can use whatever you want here.

paste it onto your canvas and erase that useless background, its just going to get in the way and look messy.

once you’ve done that, you can set the layer to ‘lighten’

then you’re going to want to open up levels (you can do this by hitting ctrl + L on your keyboard) and make this shit dark. it’ll blend it into the background nicely. how dark you make this is up to you. you can always change this later.

wooooooo we did it!!!! now you can make it smaller or bigger. i went and made bryan just a smidge smaller.

okay now this is where it might get a little complicated but i’ll do my best to explain. you’re doing to want to duplicate bryan. you can do this by going to layer > duplicate layer then just hit okay.

okay now you want to select that layer and move it a smidge to the right or the left, you do you here. then you want to change the opacity of this to 25%

THEN you want to open up ‘adjust hue/saturation’ -- you can also do this by hitting ctrl + U on your keyboard. for this layer, you want to make this red. turn that saturation up to 100 and the lightness to 10.

and then you want to repeat the duplicating process for the blue layer. you could finish this right here if you want.

to be honest, i L O V E a grainy graphic. they’re my favourite so i’ll always find an excuse to use a texture like that. you can find the texture i used ~here~ paste it onto your canvas, right on top of 3D bryan and set it to ‘lighten’

crack open levels and here are the settings i use; shadows; 6 midtones; 1.10 highlights; 255 output levels; 0 / 240

save it as a .png and you’re done~!

I don’t know what havoc I caused in a past life for karma to bitch slap me around like this, but it’s like I can’t catch a break.

I just posted all of these cute, loving pictures from our weekend together- and I mean we did have the loveliest weekend. I really enjoyed myself, I enjoyed being with you, everything was light and airy and peaceful and so much fun. It was so nice just laying with you, or being in your arms and just enjoying the rhythmic rise and fall of your chest.

But it’s like for every good moment we have, I get slammed with a moment that makes me so mad my ears get hot, my chest hurts, and the blood drains from my hands leaving me cold and physically shaking.

I don’t understand why this turned into an argument.

I understand why things got tense- I know talking about your family triggers you. But I am no longer needed to be in a position to coddle or dance around your triggers. Now I’m meant to initiate them, process them with you, and help you use the tools you have to work solutions out of them.

HOW it ESCALATED into EVERYTHING ELSE I have no idea.

You dismissed me in the car, and like I am SO used to you doing it that it didn’t even bother me the first time. I legitimately just rolled my eyes and decided I didn't give enough of a fuck to further that conversation with you anymore. Once again, we would start and end and restart and resolve: on your terms.

You’d text me the following morning with a long processed paragraph and apologize for reacting the way you did, and in typical Cristi fashion I would shrug and be over it and forgive and move on.

I don’t know what you want.

Hell, YOU don’t know what you want.

And I’ve convinced myself this long that it’s okay and that it was just a necessary part of our journey- but I’m starting to think maybe it’s not supposed to be.

I deserve to be part of someone’s plan. And a definitive “want”. I deserve a certain level of certainty from a person, and to be someone’s “absolutely”.

I can’t figure out one day to the next wtf I am, or where I lie. One day it feels Absolute. For a few more days it feels Certain. Then there’s a wave of I Think So’s. And then some Maybe’s. Then only when something drastically wonderful happens to I feel that relieving Yes, For Sure. Then when something drastically goes wrong it suddenly becomes I Don’t Know.

I get that I’m not the most consistent person in many areas of my life. I get that I don’t always know what I want in some instances either.

I rarely know what I feel like eating. I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I don’t know what career is suited for myself. I don’t always go to the gym like I say I will. I didn’t quit Canvas according to my deadline. I didn’t give up on you and just date someone else according to my mental timeline either.

But I was always sure about my love for you. My want for you. My wants for a future with you. My want for being a part of your family. My want for you being a part of mine.

I know I want children. I want a dog. I want to get you your cat.

I know what I want with you. I know HOW I want to live my life, I know what I wish for my family and what I wish for yours. I know I want my friends to succeed and that if I can be a part of that, I’ll do my best.

I don’t fucking know what you want.

You love your family, you never want to be far from them, you want you and your brothers to have houses close to each other. You want to be closer to them. You want to repair your relationship with your father, you want to love your mother.

Then you don’t give a fuck, fuck them, your family hasn’t done shit for you so why should you ever change for them- blah blah blah.

Let me tell you something. That is selfish. Feel valid in whatever pain and trauma and despair you want, it’s still selfish. And you are the source of your own ongoing pain. I learned this the hard way about myself.

Are you a perfect son

Are you a perfect brother

If you can’t answer yes, you have no right to expect only them to change and not put the effort in yourself to change. This isn’t a competition for “who should change first”. If you want to see a change, fucking be the change!

I am not a perfect sister. I am far from a perfect daughter. I was always self centered growing up and truly felt misunderstood and that no one bothered to try to get to know me.

I’ve been thrown out. I’ve been hit across the face. I’ve been called a bitch by my dad, who was my hero. I have been TOLD I was DEAD to them. That they (my mom and dad) had no daughter. I was instructed to never show my face at their place again. My dad told me that if I ever tried to come back and “hurt my mother” again, he would deal with me himself. I have had my dad try to call the cops on me to make me leave his (my) house. My mom has called me a whore. My family in upstate uphold that rumor and add new ones constantly: I’m a whore, degenerate, drug addict, etc. I have been black listed from a whole fucking town in upstate NY. I was told I was never allowed to show my face or interact with my former students.

I was never a bad person. The “bad” things I did didn’t merit the half of that. I snuck out and lied about going to prom. I fell in love with my coworker. I got married. I wanted to be happy even if people thought I made a bad decision.

But I was treated like I’d committed the worst offenses. And I held that hatred close to my heart for a long time.

My mom tried to kill herself, and told the doctors that it was because of me.

I was only 19.

Do you remember being 19? The world felt so big, and the sky felt like it was crumbling at my feet.

I woke myself up crying every night for almost 4 years. I didn’t speak to my mother for 2 of those years.

My husband held me until I finished crying myself back to sleep.

I hated them. I hated them for abandoning me. Blood was supposed to be thicker than water. Family was over any and everyone. Why was I suddenly the exception? They didn’t even shun BOMI’S biological mom. How could my family abandon ME, but didn’t turn their back on a woman who just dumped her children off? I hated every single one of them.

Until I didn’t. Until I got a call that my dad had suffered his first stroke.

I showed up to the hospital and I saw my mom at the elevator. I froze. I expected her to snarl, or go in without me. I expected to feel the hatred and resentment and get a “what are YOU doing here, LEAVE”

But my mom looked small, her shoulders sagged, and the bags under her eyes looked heavier. She sighed and waited for me. In silence we got into the elevator together, and she looked at me. I hugged her and cried. We never spoke about why we hadn’t seen or talked to each other. She just patted my back and said “Ok, it’s done.”

She’d forgiven me. And I had forgiven her.

The trauma is still real. The hurt still happened. For all of us, not just me. But the hate isn’t worth it. My parents weren’t perfect. I was not either. I had to forgive myself. I had to forgive my parents. I had to forgive upstate NY. Not for anyone but myself.

Did they deserve it? It doesn’t matter. I had to give it in order to heal. In order to move on. I had to rewire my brain to better handle my family. And it’s BETTER but still not perfect. It’s not on our parents for our own self healing.

Whether you want to admit it or not, our parents did their best by us. It wasn’t always right, and it wasn’t always fair. But take a moment to reflect inward.

In order for YOU to get what YOU want, YOU need to change.

For me to be friends with you- I had to forgive you for hurting me. I had to become more patient. I had to soften my tone. I had to change my approach. I had to learn YOU first, and then CHANGE my patterns/behavior too.

For me to be best friends with you- I had to control my temper, my impulse. I had to forgive you for lying to me. Did you deserve that second chance? In that moment, no absolutely not. But I gave it to you anyway and I would watch to see if I’d regret it.

For me to be with you- I had to accept that I would have to relive and relearn a whole new type of patience. I had to accept that you wouldn’t know what you wanted or how you felt for awhile. I had to accept that it could backfire on me and I could lose everything. I had to trust the process.

I had to change. And I did. Otherwise none of this would be as it is.

Your mother wants to be able to walk over to you and touch you, or have a conversation with you. Your dad wants to be able to see you laugh or smile instead of seeing the look of despair or anxiety clearly sunken into the lines in your face.

Your brother want to be able to hang out with you and laugh and joke and go out. They want you to stay home on a Saturday night and socialize with their friends that come over.

If YOU change, they will follow suit. If they see a difference in YOU, why wouldn’t they give US a bigger chance?

My mom allows you over as much as you are because I have changed. I don’t whine or bitch about walking the dogs when she asks. I complain less about washing them. I take it upon myself to do the dishes if the sink is full, or take out the garbage she leaves by the door. I bring home snacks for my dad, or a meal if I know its around that time. I buy household things when we’re low so she doesn’t have to so much.

Small stupid things, that she’ll never say thank you for out loud- but that’s why she doesn’t mind that my boyfriend and I lock ourselves in my room for hours on end.

I don’t intend on interfering with your journey with your family anymore. It’s not my place past this ... post I guess. I don’t have it in me to want something more than my partner, FOR my partner. I sound like a broken record, my attempts and encouragement will eventually feel like nagging, and innocent and genuine advice will eventually turn into resentment. And that isn’t what I want.

You handle this however you see fit. They are your family, not mine and I accept that. If no one wants to speak up to you about it because of fear of retaliation from you, that is your guys’ problem and not mine.

This is my lesson in not meddling. I understand that although intentions were good, that I should not have said anything.

I hear you loud and clear, karma.

Girl !!! You and my daughter would get along swimmingly!!!!! She is a tattoo and piercing junkie!!! She has also gaged her ears!!!

I only have the one tattoo, she was supposed to be the size of a silver dollar 🤦🏾‍♀️ and on my shoulder. The artist convinced me she needed a “bigger canvas”. So here I am straddled and hugging the back of his chair with my ass damned near out 🤦🏾‍♀️ which is highly privileged viewing!!! He’s giving his life story, I am thinking bout my Mr. which is a never-ending thought for me (even after his death)… wondering how he will like looking at it taking it from the back… (girl, signs your man has made you a big ‘ol freak) Lost in thought until the tip of that needle took a dip down the side of my ass cheek!!!

I have never moved so quickly in my damned life. BRO WTF?!?!? He was this close from getting the shit stomped out of him, and then Mr. was coming for that ass!!!!

If it wasn’t for the hands up in surrender… 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤… I finally got the answer to my question. He quickly handed me a mirror so that I could see why he’d violated my space… the stem of the mushroom 🍄… when I saw how big my tattoo was I damned near passed tf out!!! The murderous look that I shot this man!!! “Uhmm I’m sorry, I just knew it would give the effect you wanted if I took it there, d-do ya want me to do the other side?” TF??????? Yes!!! Who the fuck goes around with a half stemmed mushroom this size??? This question should have preceded the first side df!!!! (Did I mention that I am quick-tempered???)

The effect of my tattoo he just knew I wanted...

Mr.'s reaction to it...

I kept the blatant come on from the tattoo artist to myself. My Mr. was bout that life! My Florida boy was very protective over his Georgia girl, lol. But I was the same for him, so I didn't mind.

Back to more appropriate talk...

Your time of birth was Mr.'s favorite number. Luck always has it that I catch it at least once on the clock daily. I guess it's my little reminder that he is always with me.

I am so glad that you were able to live a fuller life off meds. The amount of energy and high levels of emotions this must take you through on the daily. I feel you! You are an exceptional person to share such personal things about yourself. It shows that you are rising above life's complications!

I absolutely get the touch factor! I am empathic and will take shit off people that I don't want, so I have to have my boundaries. My level is nowhere close to yours, and I can totally understand how tense your body can become when zones are crossed! So I won't send virtual hugs, lol... Forgive me, I always try to find the positives to tease over. But there is nothing comical about the things you have to live through. I respect you and even envy you. It takes strong people to live with the hardships dealt to you in life. I have most definitely lived through my fair share of hardships, and am still living through them.

Thank you for trusting me enough as a newfound friend to share this! Look at me giving myself the friend label, lol. It just shows that I consider you my friend!

And when your next boyfriend is your ex, he was never really an ex, lol... Keep pressing pause as much as you need to hun. It's healthy!

What are ten random facts about yourself??

Anything from your favourite memory to the current colour of your car. Pass it on…

Okay, here goes...

1. I love lingering kisses... Especially when you think it's over and then they just pull you back in for more.

2. I love nature...

3. I am a Virgo...

4. I am one of those that has to see in order to hear... although I can hear in the dark...

I am just reading your lips, I am not that horny... maybe... Lick them and let's see where it takes us, lol...

5. I am a great listener, although I sometimes over relate... It's not that I am making things about myself... The empath in me just doesn't know how to stay out ...

6. I love to read., especially while listening to the music that inspired it... It gets me into the minds of the writer and their characters.

7. I have been to Atlantis on an excursion during a cruise to the Bahamas.

8. I love the feel of a gentle breeze creeping across my face and neck on a warm Spring day or beach...

9. I love dancing, although that seems to have become a thing of the past.

10. I am an observer... I don't usually interact much publicly... People are fascinating... Have you ever tried to guess their story just by how they carry themselves? And then try to think of what they are truly like... If they are actually being themselves or showing people a projection of who they'd like to be...

I prefer to go unnoticed in public... Not that I don't like to mingle or am unfriendly... It has just been my way most of my life...

But if you strike a conversation, or my curiosity gets the best of me, then you may need to find your way out of a never-ending conversation...

Emo Bob Ross: Should I pick them up at Leblanc?

You: I don’t even know where to start

Emo Bob Ross: Any of them would be fine. It would be difficult to take multiple ones to the dorms regardless.

You: I feel bad now

Emo Bob Ross: ?

You: yusuke… you should go to bed…

You: you’re typing a lot please don’t make this into an art rant thing

Emo Bob Ross: Futaba must I explain once again that nude portraits have no perverted undertones and are about the portrayal of the human being stripped of all it’s factors back down to it’s core, thus revealing it’s innermost self? The true self. The self an artist so desperately seeks to represent and very few up to this date have been successful. My eternal search for the perfect and realest form has me in need of diverse- both physically and spiritually – models that are willing to bare their very souls to me. I am not looking at this experience as a lustful, carnal desire. I would never dare take advantage of someone who has been brave enough to let me gaze upon their being so intimately for the sake of art. We have been through this. I have been through this with several people, in actuality, I’m starting to get a little tired of explaining this over and over again but for the sake of deconstruction of societal standards that block my advancement in the unexplored road to artistic perfection I will gladly do so.

You: holy shit

You: im sorry yusuke but its 1 am im just skimming through this

You: the thing is not that I doubt your passion to your study of the arts

You: the thing is that what I have… is not art…

Emo Bob Ross: I’ll be the judge of that

Emo Bob Ross: Not to offend you but I have a trained eye

You: you know what

You: do you have 400y? For that much you can have the digital copy. Physical copy is gonna be at least 600 depending on the material

Emo Bob Ross: I’m low on cash but I’ll keep you in mind if I manage to rake in the money.

GROUP NAME: ✨ PHANTOM THIEVES ✨

[hacker voice]: @Capable Leader™ lets make a deal

[hacker voice]: give me a copy of every nude you make willingly and I wont leak these

Capable Leader™: why tf would I do that

[hacker voice]: cause your dick is magical and I’ll split the spoils 20/80

Makoto: Stop this at once. There’s no way this deal is good news. Akira knows this.

Capable Leader™: I demand at LEAST 50/50

Makoto: AKIRA

[hacker voice]: I deserve more?? I’m doing ALL the work?

Capable Leader™: It’s MY dick??

-` RYUJI ´-: he’s right tho… the dick is like 90% of a man’s identity…

ANN~: Whats the other 10%?

-` RYUJI ´-: the balls

ANN~: I’m sorry I asked

[hacker voice] 40/60 is the MAX im willing to go and that’s me being GENEROUS because I recognize you have magic juju dick pix that already fished in two possible buyers

[hacker voice]: and also youre my friend and I love you

-` RYUJI ´-: I never said I’d buy it???

[hacker voice]: sigh

Capable Leader™: Ryuji…

-` RYUJI ´-: UH

Capable Leader™: Bro…

-` RYUJI ´-: I MEAN

Capable Leader™: If you wanted my nudes…

-` RYUJI ´-: I ALSO ENVER SAID I ASKED FUTABA FOR THEM DON’T GET THE WRONG IDEA

Capable Leader™: You just had to ask…

-` RYUJI ´-: LISTEN I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE BIGGER THAN ME THAT’S A MAN THING

-` RYUJI ´-: wait really

ANN~: omfg

Makoto: I feel like this conversation is about to get very intimate

Yusuke K.: I would like to request permission to ask for your nudes as well, Akira

Capable Leader™: oh

Capable Leader™: well that’s a surprising turn of events

Yusuke K.: I fail to see how that surprises you considering you know how I am a fan of the erotica genre and it’s artistic disposition to strip a human bare to it’s very core.

-` RYUJI ´-: no dude…

-` RYUJI ´-: like this is not the nude art thing you keep talking about...

-` RYUJI ´-: this is like

Capable Leader™: (implying I’m not art)

[hacker voice]: touché

-` RYUJI ´-: a dick pic

-` RYUJI ´-: like its just a picture of his dick taken with his phone camera that’s it

Yusuke K.: Well, anything can be art! Art is subjective! I would like to evaluate the photograph!

-` RYUJI ´-: LISTEN MAN, AKIRA DIDN’T TAKE THAT PICTURE TO BE ARTSY, TRUST ME.

Makoto: Yusuke I strongly advise against this

Makoto: If anyone online offers to send you “a nude” please do not accept it…

Yusuke K.: It does intrigue me why anyone would simply want a picture of someone else’s genitalia when you could get the full view…

Makoto: remain intrigued

Makoto: not everything in life needs to be understood

Capable Leader™: Hey Futaba, I accept payment in Ryuji’s nudes as well

[hacker voice]: the contract has been sealed

-` RYUJI ´-: WTF AKIRA

-` RYUJI ´-: I DIDN’T CONSENT TO THIS

Capable Leader™: Come on, Ryuji… my bro…

Capable Leader™: This is just a bro thing…

Capable Leader™: Whomst amongst us never seen their best bro’s dick?

Capable Leader™: You’re my best bro, Ryuji… I wanna get to know every part of you…

Makoto: this is a public chat

[hacker voice]: gross

Capable Leader™: The very deep and intimate connection between two bros is nothing to hide, Makoto…

ANN~: You should hang out and deepen your bond

[hacker voice]: don’t think I don’t know what youre doing ann, that’s cheating

ANN~: ;)

-` RYUJI ´-: bro…

-` RYUJI ´-: If you wanted MY nudes bro…

-` RYUJI ´-: you could have just asked, bro….

Makoto: I can’t believe this is a thing that is happening right now

ANN~: ive turned off the TV this group chat is too lit for me to take my eyes off it

Makoto: it’s 2 am we should prepare to bed

Capable Leader™: [MESSAGE DELETED]

Capable Leader™: I mean he hasn’t accepted yet…

ANN~: oh he will

ANN~: he better

-` RYUJI ´-: why should you decide

ANN~: cause as your best friend I know whats best for you and I know for a damn fact you will not get a better score than akira

ANN~: FUCKING LOOK AT HIM! HE’S OFFERING HIMSELF ON A SILVER PLATTER!

[hacker voice]: yeah he left 5 mins I traced his phone rn

Capable Leader™: oh fuck…..

ANN~: was it actually a joke??

Capable Leader™: No I just didn’t think I’d actually get this far??

ANN~: YOURE BOTH USELESS BISEXUALS AND I HATE YOU

Yusuke K.: Akira may I join you both? If you’re willing to model for me I will certainly not pass on this opportunity

Makoto: Please don’t.

Capable Leader™: oh my god yusuke

Capable Leader™: not today

Capable Leader™: maybe some other day

Capable Leader™: wink wink

Yusuke K.: I understand. Take all the time you need but please consider my request.

[hacker voice]: I can’t believe Ryuji’s about to get the succ

[hacker voice]: according to my gps ryuji should already be at leblanc??

Capable Leader™: oh he’s here alright. Just nervously prancing in front of my front door.

Capable Leader™: I haven’t called to him yet, let a man be ready

Capable Leader™: (I also don’t know if im fully ready so…)

ANN~: oh grl you got this

ANN~: you’ve been training all your life for this

ANN~: besides its not like hes gonna know the difference between a good bj and a bad bj lol

Capable Leader™: youre right

Capable Leader™: but I also you know, care about him a lot

Capable Leader™: I wanna make this a good experience cause I care about ryuji a lot… like in a very gay way…

ANN~: Aww!! :)

Makoto: I want to take no part in this conversation but that was adorable

ANN~: srsly im talking to ryuji rn on private and hes freaking out cause of the same thing

ANN~: wants it to be really good to you bc he loves you sm and youre so hot and hes already semi just thinking abt you

Capable Leader™: I’m flattered

ANN~: he’s super overwhelmed cause its his first time and with a boy he loves so like admsadsa damn ryuji youre so cute

ANN~: almost makes my cold blooded bitch heart feel something

Capable Leader™: I’ll give him all the time he needs!

ANN~: you should really open the door for him and at least put him inside cause its cold and there was a robbery in your street earlier this week

ANN~: and you know ryuji hell stubbornly stand in front of that store until the sun comes up if hes wallowing in nerves

Capable Leader™: youre right…

Capable Leader™: im gonna go do that…

Capable Leader™: @[hacker voice] if you have any cameras in my room turn them off!

[hacker voice]: for how much?

Capable Leader™: FUTABA, PLEASE.

[hacker voice]: calm down theyre already off. Havent been on since we became friends.

[hacker voice]: just thought youd like to have your fond memories engraved on tape for your enjoyment…

Capable Leader™: …

Capable Leader™: that’s… tempting

Makoto: are you out of your mind??

ANN~: YOU’RE SUCH A SLUT, AKIRA

Makoto: God, you’re hopeless. At least talk it over with Ryuji first.

Capable Leader™: I just did. He’s cool with it.

Makoto: Somehow I feel like this is an oversimplification of the conversation.

Capable Leader™ changed his username to Tapable Leader <3

Tapable Leader <3 changed the group name to AKIRA & RYUJI’S SEX TAPE

Makoto: I’m leaving.

Makoto: Only talk to me when you want to group up from now on.

-` RYUJI ´-: I ONLY AGREED WITH IT IF ONLY ME AND AKIRA GET A COPY!!

-` RYUJI ´-: ITS ONLY FAIR CONSIDERING YOU’RE ALREADY SELLING AKIRA’S NUDES!!

[hacker voice]: I’ll make three copies of the sex tape

[hacker voice]: 600y each

[hacker voice]: first come first serve

[hacker voice]: no reservations

[hacker voice]: you show me the money the tape is yours

[hacker voice]: those are my terms

Tapable Leader <3: even if Ryuji and I get copies there’ll still be one in the wild for someone to buy?

ANN~: isn’t that thrilling tho

ANN~: one other stranger youll never know about can be watching you

ANN~: and if futaba agrees to take down any reuploads of the tape its like your very own secret but like… shared with a stranger… that’s a kink isn’t it??

[hacker voice]: yure right…

Tapable Leader <3: holy shit

Makoto: This is so irresponsible…

[hacker voice]: thought you wanted no part in this?

Makoto: I can’t simply not take part. You guys are worse unsupervised…

Tapable Leader <3: Futaba, it’s a deal if mine and Ryuji’s copies are free of charge

[hacker voice]: fair enough

Tapable Leader <3: nice. We’re going upstairs now.

[hacker voice]: camera’s ready!

ANN~: lmao I cant believe this is actually happening

Makoto: so much for reputable thieves…

Makoto: I swear if this sex tape leaks and we get found out because of it…

Makoto: What’s worse! Akira’s on probation! That will most definitely spell trouble for him depending on who gets their hands on this tape!

ANN~: Guess we have no choice but to buy it ourselves!

Makoto: Or don’t do the sex tape?! At all?!

ANN~: Nothing’s gonna happen, Makoto! Chillax!

ANN~: How can they possibly trace a video of Akira sucking Ryuji off back to the phantom thieves?

ANN~: What kind of evidence even is this?

[hacker voice]: Akira’s jacked??? I didn’t know he worked out that much??

ANN~: he looks really skinny right?

ANN~: did ryuji come with his stupid neon pink and green watermelon bullshit panties?

[hacker voice]: they stopped to talk rn

[hacker voice]: ryujis like flipping

[hacker voice]: asking if akira had done this before

[hacker voice]: apparently akira has sucked “some dicks”

[hacker voice]: AT LEAST TWO ARE FROM HIS CLASS

Makoto: Do you really need to keep us updated?

ANN~: yes

Makoto: sigh

[hacker voice]: @ANN~ ryuji’s wearing the pink underwear

ANN~: god I hate those

ANN~: @Tapable Leader <3 burn them when youre done

[hacker voice]: I hate doing this. This is just like when you’re watching a movie and there’s a unnecessary kissing scene and the entire scene is like 3 minutes of uncomfortable schlepping kissing noises.

ANN~: yeah that must be pretty awkward

[hacker voice]: it is super awkward. Akira owes me one

[hacker voice]: oh my god

[hacker voice]: ryuji scared the crap outta me he legit screamed right now

[hacker voice]: I don’t even need mics for this ryuji’s so loud

ANN~: whaaat? Ryuji? Loud?? Who would have thought…

-` RYUJI ´-: IM SORRY OK IM REALLY LIVID HERE

ANN~: WTF???? WHAT AR EYOU DOING TEXTING US???

-` RYUJI ´-: IDK WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS!!

ANN~: YOURE USELESS. I CANT BELIEVE YOU.

Tapable Leader <3: you can pull my hair, its fine

ANN~: HOW ARE YOU TEXTING EVEN??

Makoto: It’s been a while since we got an update.

[hacker voice]: do you want em?

Makoto: No, I simply worry how long this is lasting.

[hacker voice]: it’s gotten to a really graphic point. I’m not even watching anymore, its really really awkward… if you want the full juice you’ll have to buy the tape!

[hacker voice]: oh theyre done

[hacker voice]: they just threw the dirty clothes on the floor and went straight to sleep

[hacker voice]: orgasming must be really tiring…

ANN~: @Tapable Leader <3 @-` RYUJI ´- CONGRATS ON THE SECS!! We’re all really happy for you!! You guys deserve each other, really! If anyone says otherwise I’ll punch them!

Makoto: @Tapable Leader <3 @-` RYUJI ´- regardless of how reckless and utterly stupid this whole thing was, I’m genuinely glad you guys worked it out and are finally being honest with each other. It was awfully unhealthy for the team dynamic to watch you two dance around the issue of your attraction so, congratulations!

[hacker voice]: @Tapable Leader <3 @-` RYUJI ´- im not as good with expressing things as the other girls but im also happy I somehow brought you two together. Don’t worry I wont actually sell the sex tapes to anyone btw

[hacker voice]: (or will i)

ANN~: omfg

[hacker voice]: Yusuke’s typing a lot im concerned

Yusuke K.: I did not fully grasp the concept of what was truly going on in this chat tonight but after extensive research and questioning Ann on certain topics I now understand. Futaba’s attempts at prostituting Akira have somehow led into a nuptial encounter between Akira and Ryuji, the kind of which both parties have been secretly interested in for a long time. I also congratulate you both in your achievement for the act of intimacy born from fondness and admiration is one of the truest forms of adoration our kind have come across. I only wish for more of these enjoyable moments and if any of you would be so kind as to model for me the most beautiful sensation of your endless love I would be very thankful.

[hacker voice]: holy shit

[hacker voice]: just looking at this is making my eyes heavy

[hacker voice]: im going to sleep folks

ANN~: same

ANN~: we have to wake up before ryuji and akira to surprise them at leblanc

ANN~: we’ll bring a congrats on the sex cake

[hacker voice]: I’m in

Makoto: guess it won’t hurt to check on them

Yusuke K.: I would love to discuss this over some cake!

ANN~: deal, then! Good night, thieves <3

-` RYUJI ´-: you fuckers are gonna see some dicks

ANN~: that’s the plan dapper dan

ANN~: now go to bed!

thx for your time i hope you enjoyed it ideas that we did in the rp and i couldnt find a way to put here: > futaba leaks the nudes on the phan site > mishima warns akira of the thing and says he has a nice package > akira gets arrested for publicly posting pornography and akechi recognized him by the dick > "whats wrong with a little dick pic" "its not little" > makoto buys a copy of the akira/ryuji sex tape and resells it at school > mishima buys a copy

Geeky DIY Halloween Costumes: 2017 Edition

There are so many things to love about Halloween, but the thing that warms my geeky little heart is the costumes. It’s the one time of year that cosplay is acceptable in more mainstream environments. If you’re a fellow costume enthusiast, you’ll likely fall into one of two camps. The first contains those who plan and work on their costumes year-round, devoting all their spare time and energy into it. God bless you, you passionate lunatics, I envy your skill, creativity, and free time. The latter are more like me; we love costumes but don’t have much in the way of time, money, talent, or all three. If you fall in this camp, you might think it’s too late for you. Well, as my favorite Lex Luthor ever once said…

In general, the best Halloween costumes are easily recognizable for what they are and specific to the year you wear them in. Of course, there are time-honored classics, but if you’re going to do it, I say make it count. The best costumes for people like us are easy to make and affordable. And even though it’s October already and the costume shops are likely all sold out of the “good” options, there’s still plenty of time to make something cool yourself.

Closet Cosplay: Snag yourself a WW logo tee (available at Kohls, Walmart, and Amazon) and pair it with navy leggings or jeggings. Slap your most ass-kicking calf-high boots and as many gold/bronze bangles as you can find. Complete the look with a take-no-shit expression.

Upgrades:

If your leggings are expendable, do some white stars up the sides with fabric paint.

Or swap out leggings for a No-sew tutu, search pinterest and take your pick of tutu-orials. (wear over short-shorts, these tutus usually don’t provide modesty)

Take a cue from fellow Geekader Sam Ahearn, who custom-made a tiara and wrist gauntlets for my daughter using felt, hot glue, glitter, elastic, and velcro. This would also work for a belt.

If you’re feeling really ambitious, boot covers really add something special to your look and aren’t too hard to make.

Closet Cosplay: This long sleeve fitness shirt is a decent approximation of the Spidey’s look in this year’s cinematic offering. If you’re feeling too bashful for tights, go with blue workout pants. A red gloves and ski mask combo can finish off this one, especially if you’re willing to use a little black marker to add detail.

Upgrades:

Have the confidence? Wear the tights, my good man, and more power to you

Boot covers aren’t just for ladies, some red ones will work for this look too.

If you’re into building things, check out tutorials to make your own wrist web shooter, like this one.

Closet Cosplay: Both characters have a lot of costumes in this year's Breath of the Wild, but the simplest to recreate is the basic look. For either, start with a long sleeve shirt and pants in white, tan, or brown. For Link, top with an oversized teal tee shirt and a brown belt over the shirt at your waist. For Zelda, go with a more feminine cut top. Add a white tank over top of it and tuck the straps and upper third under to mimic a corset and complete with the widest brown belt you can find. Finish off either look with brown boots and some DIY cardboard weapons. Bonus points if you do this as a couples costume.

Upgrades:

Strap it up. Do a google image search, these costumes actually involve a bunch of straps crossing the body, so if you can find some extra belts or scraps of brown fabric, all the better.

Elf ears from a Halloween store will give you that subtle Hylean look that sets you apart from Peter Pan.

Use some white fabric paint on your blue layer to recreate details from the in-game looks.

Closet Cosplay: This is one is especially great for kids, but works for any age. The inklings in the game all tend to dress in fairly casual, slightly oversized skater gear or athletic wear. With a parent's permission, have fun with some funky spray-on hair color and some wacky styling. If you have one, use your biggest most ridiculous water gun as a prop. If not, check if any stores near you have any summer toys on clearance.

Upgrades:

A neon colored wig from a Halloween store can really bump up this look.

DIY an ink tank like this one to wear on your back and hold extra candy in.

Grab some pals, color coordinate your outfits and weaponry, and show up as a team!

Closet Cosplay: Not only has Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic has been a huge hit, but the costumes have been widely seen in public, as some have taken to wearing them as a form of political protest. Therefore, this is definitely a highly recognizable and very current costume and it’s also ridiculously easy to pull off. The basics are a drapey red garment that covers the whole body and a white bonnet. The former can be achieved by making a cape from any large red piece of fabric you can get your hands on or by wearing a long sleeved modest top and long skirt, both in red. Check your closet or your local thrift shop. Create the latter by attaching some white posterboard (the bigger the better) to a white painters cap, available for cheap at most craft and hardware stores. Complete with a dour facial expression.

Upgrades:

DIY your bonnet for a more authentic look using a pattern like this one

Halloween stores everywhere mean you can find a proper red cloak pretty easily this time of year.

Add a plain canvas bag. Stitching up a totebag is one of the easiest sewing projects there is.

Closet Cosplay: Once GoT’s costumer revealed her source for the Night’s Watch furry capes, it became an instant meme and a DIYer’s dream. The key to taking the black is, unsurprisingly, wearing lots of black. Black pants, black shirt, black belt, black cape, black gloves. (No hat though. Anybody else notice that? People in the north rarely cover their heads. WTF is up with that?) You don’t have to use the officially sanctioned IKEA product, use any shaggy rug you can find, spray it black if need be, and throw it around your shoulders. This look goes best with five o’clock shadow and a surly expression.

Upgrades:

If you’re willing to make the investment, here are IKEA’s official instructions on making the furry cape.

As with the Link/Zelda costume, the more straps, the better.

As Adult Halloween is mostly about costumes and drinking, make sure to get yourself a fun tankard or drinking horn to carry around/clip to your belt.

Closet Cosplay: If the Season 7 malarkey surrounding the death of SPOILER didn’t put you off watching the show, this one may be for you. It’s easy to put together from existing pieces in your wardrobe but iconic enough to be reconizable. Jeans, leather jacket, and a red scarf (or even a bandana) around the neck are the key pieces. Don’t forget Lucille! DIY some barbed wire using dark yarn and this tutorial and wrap it around any old baseball bat you have.

Upgrades:

If you’re not going to need the bat again, might as well bloody it up with some fake blood from a Halloween store.

This is one where a group costume can work well. If your friends are into it, check out images from Season 7 to have your friends find their lookalikes in the cast. Bonus points if anyone can pull off a Glenn or Abraham look.

Closet Cosplay: Season 5, which aired this summer, definitely went outside the norm for this show and the costumes ran the gamut, so there are lots of options to choose from. Start with the basic khaki look (you can a set of khaki scrubs anywhere pretty cheap) and make your own ID badge, or go without. Accessorize with a gray or white undershirt (long or short sleeve) or gray hoodie. This is really one of the easiest, comfiest costumes out there.

Upgrades:

Modify the look based on any of the character’s variations on the uniform. For sexy, try Flaca & Maritza’s schoolgirl looks. Add glasses and go for Alex’s sleeveless Rosie the Riveter version. Crazy short hair and thrift store glasses on a chain can turn you into Red. The possibilities are endless.

For another variation, use black pants, a blue button down shirt, and your own accessories to make a modified C.O.’s uniform like Cindy or Allison.

Closet Cosplay: It couldn’t be easier to recreate the look from Rick & Morty’s most popular season 3 episode. All you need are green clothes, green face paint, a green ski cap, and a bad attitude. For true authenticity, you’ll have to lay on the ground and only move by rolling around, so it’s a great choice if you just wanna be lazy.

Upgrades:

You can go as nuts as you want with the mods on this one and they’ll all work, since Pickle Rick’s existence went through multiple stages. Try Halloween stores for fake bones and blood to dress up your costume. Various crafting scraps can help with the look of his repurposed vermin limbs. Use gray/pink socks and gloves for the hands and feet.

Don’t forget his accessories. You’ll need a brown belt with a couple of holsters containing giant batteries and his shoulder mounted laser cannon. Use your imagination and a lot of cardboard and spray paint.

Extra bonus points if you get a teenage kid to follow you around wearing a yellow shirt and jeans.

Whatever you choose to go as, have fun this Halloween. I’d love to see what you dress up as, so tweet me pics!
