#i don't got any bright ideas what to change it too tho

[safije]

Speaking of decolonization, why hasn't the Philippines changed it's name yet? Spain no longer owns the islands, why is it still named after their King? Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have all changed their names from the colonial names Burma, Ceylon and Rhodesia in recent history. It's time for the "Philippines" to do the same.

[bubsmiraculousau]

These are my OT5 brainstorm pages. Elaborations on how I got to these below! I reference concept pages so if you see any pictures you don't recognize that's why. <3

First up is Cat Noir who I think is already perfect lmao. For my version though I wanted to lean closer to his PV design because I love it, like his larger triangle nose (you can't really see it at the angle in my drawing but it's there I swear!), the bigger bell, the more elaborate belt, etc.... so basically everything ... just in my style instead.

With my designs I think that whenever someone transforms into their miraculous persona it's based on what they think a hero looks like or what they think is cool. I think Adrien reads a lot of comic books and is a fan of characters like Batman (relatable for him LOL), Catwoman, and Nightwing, so his suit reflects that kind of vibe.

Extra: I decided that Ladybug and Cat Noir's masks go all the way up their foreheads because it looks nicer in my 2D style with their bangs haha.

Next up is the one and only Ladybug! Unpopular opinion but I actually like the all red suit! My hypothetical series would be a webcomic, and I feel like in action scenes the red differentiates her from Cat Noir esp at a distance, and more red style keeps their color ratios even.

I like the ladybug designs with a bunch of black sections they're very cute! Just not for my au. (I think it's just me but I find drawing the ladybug designs with inverted red dots to feel sacrilegious in a way,,, just my neurodivergent brain lol)

And I am a long ribbons truther, I love them and they can be very expressive. Also I knew I wanted Marinette to have a more vertical circular eye shape because her shape vibe is definitely a circle (Adrien's is triangle) and it reminded me of the eyes for the main girl in princess jellyfish (I've never seen it, love the style tho)

Her hair is a more bright blue to contrast her hair against her suit, and make her look more cartoonish. I imagine her idea of a superhero comes from kids shows and some magical girl anime. So her hair has a plastic shiny texture to it because when she thinks 'superhero' she thinks of kids toys. Also I just like color! The blue kinda gives comic spiderman vibes imo (the version with the light blue instead of the navy)

Queen Bee definitely changed the most throughout the design process. I really like her in-show design so I just tweaked it to be more my vibe. Adding a crown because she's a Queen.

Something that I've noticed is that Alya and Chloe actually share a lot of traits (There's even some old concept notes where I believe Alya and Chloe either switch names or roles at some point?? The miraculous concept info rabbit hole is real y'all) and I think this comes through in their final designs.

Like they both share a middle part, which bothers me for some reason, so I decided to give Chloe a little Ariana Grande side part into a ponytail.

I wanted each character to have a cool little piece on their costume, so I tried these little hip things to make her more commanding and girlboss, but currently her weapon is similar to ladybug's (but more like one of those hair ties w the little disco balls on them) and it would sit on her hip and would clash w her hip thingies, so I just decided to make her weapon the hip things instead, combining the two.

Something else that bothered me a lot was that Rena was the only one with white on her costume. Everyone has black but she's the only one with white... my brain says that this cannot be. So I tried to give Bee some fun white fuzzy bits but the texture just was too different...

And then I had the mega-brain idea to make her hair white to tie in the white from Rena. Her and Cat Noir both having blonde hair irked me as well LOL so this hit two birds with one stone. I wanted her hair to be sharper and more aggressively drill shaped because of her abrasive personality haha.

After that, is Carapace. I had an idea for him from the start because I felt like his in-show design just doesn't match his personality... I couldn't make his outfit all loose because I wanted to stick generally to the miraculous suit formula, but I feel like 'skin tight suit' just isn't his vibe. So he has a kind of hammer pants situation.

I think they capture Carapace's b-boy ninja turtle vibe while still looking like a miraculous outfit. Though I decided later that I wanted the pants to be a lighter color for contrast and the visor to be white (to tie in that Rena Rouge white).

Lastly is Miss Rena! Something that bothered me (back on the similarities to Chloe) was that they both have ponytails (yes I know I'm crazy). Even though they have very different textures I just wanted each of them to be distinct from each other. So I put her hair down and just dramatized her regular hairstyle.

Also her and Queen Bee both have black gloves to their upper arms, which, you guessed it, bothered me. So I shortened Rena's to just reach her elbow.

I wanted her to look like a magic-man, her illusion powers evoke a showmanship energy to me. I imagine her and Cat Noir are quite the dramatic theater kid-esque duo.

So, for drama I tried some flowy arm bits, which I think ended up just looking a little strange, so I'll pocket that idea for something else. Then, I tried to add her coattail from the show, but it ended up looking a little frumpy, not the drama I wanted.

I ended up making her coat more triangular in the front, to give off the vibe of a magician's vest, and changed it to solider red/orange double coattails, which I think makes her more magic-man-ish. And I think the white ends made it too busy.

So those are my hero designs! I'm still working out Hawkmoth and Mayura, esp Hawkmoth because I am not good at drawing masculine older men...

If y'all want LESS of the artistic process let a girl know lol! I know some ppl like it but this is very long,,, all my drawings will not have text this long! thx for reading if you did tho xx

[ehh-is-the-name]

ii 15's live now... How we feeling?

Really how we feeling guys? I'm feeling-

(I'm feeling a lot of things, there's a lot under the cut, also hope your internet's alright 'cause there's a lot of beefy gifs)

I'm feeling inanimate insane- II 15 AM I RIGHT??

As per usual, I'm doing a post about everything and anything that comes to my mind regarding the new ii episode.

Starting off strong before I devolve into meeple nonsense (gotta show people I care about other characters from the show too) AHHHHH HGHH MY HEART!!! I KNOW- IKNOW I know it wasn't good for her to stay in the game, but a piece of me clings to her like a mite.

From when this happened and Paintbrush showed up, I knew it was jover. The Bright Lights are lighting up the hotel now, and you know what, I'm ok with that (no I'm not I love them </3)

-

I also love this part. In my heart of hearts, Bright Light ploycule is real and canon.

- - -

Ok it's mephone time 'cause I keep rewatching the ep and that's all I can FUCKING think about

My first reaction to Meeple being mentioned was literally the embodiment of this image

Going back to being serious:

This song is very inanimate insanity coded, and by that I mean MePhone specifically. (Of course, it's a song about Taco and I'm Making it about MePhone, that's what I do.)

Healing is a process, Mepad knows that well, and seeing everything that's happened is probably why MePad quit. Besides the terrible work conditions he's put through, MePad just can't stand everyone being dragged through the mud. Taco was so right, the game's getting really serious and it's taking a toll on everyone (including MePhone, which MePad definitely got front-row seats too). I wonder if he feels a part of the problem and is now trying to rectify it. I mean, it'd make sense why he's helping out Taco now.

I feel even more justified in saying it after looking at the resignation scene again. MePad is thoroughly done with MePhone's shit, and for good reason. Tempting to not REVIVE someone just to make sure the show goes smoothly is fucked up! MePad's had enough and AUGH FUCK YEAH AND AAUGHHH FUCK NO MEPHONE'S REACTION TO HIM RESIGNING-

Ok ok- lemme start from the top.

. . .

So…. what the fuck was s3?

He hints at it actually happening with the "'First without' you have no idea", being connected to him not having an assistant for more than half of s3, and the "for half a day the world actually felt peaceful" referring to the s3 finale. Or at least that's all I'm assuming. But to them, it's only been a couple hours..?

I'mm soooo fuckin' lost, but my theory is that he either alt-reality'd that season or time travelled, or something. That's just not makin' sense, especially with this happening tho

I just can't think of any other way that this would make sense and be canonical other than MePhone himself went into an alternate timeline to do s3. That does give me fic ideas though...

Anyways... Connecting it back to MePad and everything though, I find it both funny and saddening to see that he's gone back to s2 persona (when thinking about it in terms of my theory). It's so obvious that it's a front, from the turn of his heel to change topics away from his "vacation" with the pained "BUUUTTT ANYWAY", to the short pause before going "WELL!" after MePad's resignation, to the "And if you're ready to talk" thing being shot with his cover-up is another-

You don't need me to tell you it's a front, everyone and their mama knows, but I'll continue to do so 'cause I physically have to, or else I'll explode. You can tell it really tears him up from how MePhone reacted when he first saw MePad.

LOOK AT THE SHOCK ON HIS PIXELY FACE!! He probably thought MePad fully abandoned him or something before his "vacation" and this was whiplash that it wasn't THEN MePad ACTUALLY left?!? Of course it's gotta hurt, but s2 means he's got the host role to fill, and that means being a snarky sack of shit (I say that with love, of course).

That also paired with the look of guilt… shame in this scene…. AGH

She's so right here by the way, the years he spent on iii for "something new" shows that he's not trying to move away. Sure it got him to come back to s2 in the first place, but now that he's here, what did he actually learn? Actions speak louder than words, and so far, he's been just the same s2 asshole host we remember. Though you know what could change all that..?

Had to put the vid and not the gif of this scene because the abrupt phone call actually scared the shit outta me.

First things first, I love Knife's little gestures. They're all so sick of his shit, as they should be <3

Secondly, the whole way he's talking about them in the clip is giving his s2 persona hardcore

Lastly, and most importantly, COBS???? UM UH COBS???

I wanna give props where props are due, the sound design, the pacing- everything leading up to this scene was absolutely perfect would cry again 10/10

BUT ALSO COBS??? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING CALLING HIM DIRECTLY???

No seriously. We had him build generations of phones, specifically to take him out, send "insiders" like Toilet and Walkie Talkie (I assume at least) to also take him out in some way or another, and whatever the hell else was going on, all to indirectly take down MePhone, and now he just calls. Calls in the middle of the recording! I assume he knows about s3 and if so just what in the fuck could he want??? WHAT IS HIS PLAN??? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT COB OF CORN IS TRYING TO DO- IT IS GOING TO DRIVE ME INSANE.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in that scene is just as confused and concerned as I am. (I am just saying things, but you know what I mean.)

I'm so serious though, Knife is like "WTF?!", and Suitcase is like "WTF??" AND GOD DAMN IT LOOK AT HIM HE IS CONFUSED AND SCARED GUYS. If this doesn't shake that s2 persona outta him, I don't fuckin' know what will (besides the show just being over, but I digress).

Cobs is def gonna make an appearance next ep (I'm manifesting, let me cook), and it's not gonna be pretty, but MePhone's gonna get to turn him into a corn tortilla and everyone's gonna cheer and he's not gonna have daddy issues anymore and then everything will be ok. That's my prediction for ii 16.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, I will give more random outbursts of tears for the next one.

[mochimouiemarty]

more God au stuff?!?

—

pride flag looking ahh

chat I MIGHT HAVE COOKED. yapping + alt versions under the cut

SO!!!! this is supposed to be his mortal(?) version! or what he'd look like outside of his temple/wherever the fuck this dude resides

I like to imagine Bernard's temple would be completely monochrome, and once he steps out of it he's just a living pride flag. there are two reasons for this!

– he doesnt want to overwhelm anyone with his overly bright and ever changing (heh) appearance. esp since he likes to be all tall and gigantic most of the time.

– he just likes being monochromatic

BUT, I also put too much thought into this so yall will have to hear about it too.

– when monochrome, their colorful strands of hair only change values

– I wanted their hair to resemble branches or something (maybe I got lost along the way but ill redraw them again promise 🫶 [ill forget, again]) to symbolize the different branches/paths change can cause.

– their hair CONSTANTLY changes. and it's not even based on emotion, it's just like that. this idea was born from the fact that change happens all the time

– some strands change to a darker color or almost gray sometimes, for yk, the darker changes and such

– assortment of colors for the whole God of Identity and stuff? I think self expression kinda goes hand in hand with identity, so!! also because of the different kinds of changes etc etc

– If this looks messy or muddy That was Actually My Intention TRUST. It was to symbolize how change can be messy and unpredictable 🫶/nsrs

– ^ BUT SRSLY THO, their hair just looks wild half of the time.

– Despite being the god of change, they like and even prefer set routines and predictable behavior. Just like to their og counterpart

– for what mortals usually ask for from them, maybe itd be for something to go well or for guidance on what sort of change they should make in their life or if theyre on the right path, help with self reflection etc etc.

– offerings would include: pretty branches, any food or drink, dances, song, etc etc!

– Fun fact people used to be so confused on what kind of offerings pleased them the most other than food and such. some claimed that their favorites change all the time, or that you should only ever offer one set item or whatever idk. they don't care obv, but they'd especially love things that the person took time to make or gather.

– although their hair is the main thing that changes a lot, subtle shifts in patches of skin, eyelashes, etc are included too.

ANYWAYS. thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. time to forget about this au and let it simmer until one of my friends bring it up again.

PART FIVE:

Just as Eddie turned his head to go and defend himself, he caught you smiling like some dummy. It was all because of him, so he decided to say something else instead. “We still got quite a drive.” “Yeah” “Do you want to do something?”“Like what?”“I ask you something and you gotta be 100% honest with me and then after you can ask me something the same rules apply. Are you down?” You took a minute to think “Yeah what the hell why not. Go ahead.”“Why are you dating a jerk like Steve?”“Oh, well at first he wasn’t like this. He was much kinder, sweeter, and just better. Then Nancy came back and he changed. I know they had history but they said it wouldn’t affect anything and well you see how that's going. He even came over uninvited this morning and when I had some attitude he said he had no idea why. Then asked what did he do wrong to deserve me being so sharp and snippy with him. Anyways I guess i’m just hoping he’ll go back to being that nice guy.””You’re kidding?!”“I wish.”“Star I’m sorry you deserve better than that and you’ve done nothing wrong.”“Maybe not but it feels like I have.” Hearing that broke Eddie's heart into a million pieces. You’ve done nothing wrong and don’t deserve to feel this way or to be treated this way. ”I know. I hope that'll change soon tho.”“Me too. Can I ask my question now? I kinda wanna drop this if that’s ok.”“Yeah it’s ok and yeah fire away.”“Why do you call me Star?”“Ummm.” Eddie had to think he had to be honest and he had to answer but this isn’t exactly how he planned on telling you why he called you that.”You don’t have to tell me. I get it” Eddie pulled into a empty parking lot as he wanted to be able to either look at you or move around anything but drive.“Edds?”“You wanna know and I'm gonna tell you what it honestly means.” “Ok.”“I call you Star because you are the brightest and most beautiful thing in my life. You are my happiness and you guide me through the darkness. You make literally everything better just by being involved. You shine so bright, so bright that most people just can’t handle it. Which is just unfortunate for them. I din’t wanna tell you and then scare you off or weird you out.”“Edds I-”“I get if yo-” Eddies words were then cut off as you quickly wrapped your arms around him and it didn’t take long for him to then do the same. You guys sat there hugging for a good minute or two. “We should probably get going, Edds.”“Yeahhhh but this is better.” As much as you wanted to agree you knew any longer you may have told him you loved him and you did. Steve hurt you and made you miserable. Eddie made you feel loved and special. Steve didn’t even make you feel that way in the beginning. At this point you asked yourself if you truly ever loved Steve. You did for a short time but you were never in love with him and there is a difference. Somehow you were able to escape Eddie's bar grip. “Yeah but um we should still go for a little.”“Fine. If we must.” “We must.” “Star?” “Yes?” “Can…” You can tell he’s getting nervous so you don’t tease. But you also notice his hand was out not like asking for yours just there, so you take it anyways and ask. “Were you gonna ask to do this?” “No!”“Oh okay then i’ll just take my hand back then.” “No Star wait…Yes it was what I was gonna ask for.” You still let go tho “Well then ask petty boy.” “Pretty?” “Yes among other things but yes pretty is one.” “Oh?” “Well you are!” Eddie turns red and although he’d love to tease he doesn't wanna miss the opportunity to hold your hand so he’ll put a pin on teasing you for now. “Thank you. Hey Star, can I hold your hand?” “Yes.” You take his hand again and you guys head off again.

Meanwhile Steve and Nancy were already at the party but you nor Eddie had any idea they would be there as they didn’t say anything about going. Steve kept going around the party saying how y’all broke up and that Nancy and him got back together. Nancy wasn’t a fan of being so open about this yet but she didn’t stop Steve either. She liked knowing Steve loved her more even if it was at the cost of your friendship. She did feel guilty but she also thought it was unfair she didn’t get a true chance with Steve. The whole time they were there they danced together, made out several times, got drunk, and just did lots of couple type crap. Steve was now so drunk he didn’t think his actions out before doing them or how it would affect his surroundings. So he dragged Nancy to the restroom for another makeout session but didn’t remember to lock the door behind them. You and Eddie finally arrived and as always Eddie ran to get the door for you. “Thank you Edds.”“You’re welcome Star.” You both enter the party and again you already wanna ditch the idea of going. But it’s too late now. So you both walk in and find a place to kinda sit and just talk. As time passes people must have finally connected the dots on who you were as you had a mix of people coming up to you saying you were an awful person or i’m sorry that happened to you. You were confused but Eddie was pissed which confused you more. You had no idea what the fuck was going on but Eddie had his suspsion. You just tried to shake it off and say whatever, besides you had to use the restroom Anyways. As you go to walk in you hear something and then… you walk in on your boyfriend and best friend making out. All anyone hears next is. “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!” Followed by a door slamming everyone including Eddie thought it was someone else (as again this isn’t something you’d normally do but) until you turned the corner and your face said it all and then it showed some fear as you couldn’t see Eddie but as soon as you saw Eddie you B-lind it to him. “Eddie please take me home.”“Star ar-” You cut him off and you felt awful for doing so but you couldn’t handle being there right now and explaining to Eddie here meant staying here “Not right now Eddie please just can we leave.” He could hear the crack in your voice and how broken you were. He hated seeing you like this but he’d be damned to ignore your cry for help. Steve suddenly runs to try and explain “BABE WAIT!” But you’ve had enough of his and Nancy’s shit. You whipped around so fast Eddie had to put his arms up so he wouldn’t slap you (his hands were at face level behind you). You spoke so angrily that your face turned so red from anger and burned hot to the touch, you were crying uncontrollably, you hated crying, your fists were so tight your nails left marks on your palms, and when you spoke you yelled. But your yell was so broken as you had a hard time keeping it together. Steve just broke your heart into a million pieces so did Nancy. Oh and they think it’s what no biggy? This was months of pent up shit and this was the last straw. “DON’T YOU FUCKING BABE ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!” Of course Steve tried to play the civil card now that there was an audience watching the truth unfold. ”Wow there is no need for yelling let’s just go talk privately. Yah?”“GO FUCK YOURSELF! I’M DONE WAITING FOR YOU TO BE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT ANYMORE AND I’M DONE WITH YOUR SHIT.”“What do you mean your done?”“GO GET A NEW DAMN BRAIN I’M DONE, LIKE OH I’M BREAKING UP WITH YOU, OH IT’S OVER, OR OH I DON’T EVER WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN! LIKE HOW ELSE DO I GOTTA SAY IT?!” “OH AND NANCY DON’T EVEN TRY AND SPEAK I WANT YOU OUTTA MY LIFE STARTING 5 MIN AGO. FUCKING NO GOOD BACK STABBING LYING PEICES OF SHIT, GET FUCKED I’M OUTTA HERE.” As you hear them rambling in the background you just keep looking forward and walk out.

[randoimago]

Hi, I'm in a self indulgent mood. So I decided to just do this whole list for fun! Here is the link to the Ask Game.

I'll add all my answers and such under the cut so it's not just a wall of text in your face!!

🖌 - Do you have/want any tattoos?

I don't have any but I do have a few I really want. I'd love a d20 on my wrist, my mom and brother's birthdays on like a scroll with extra space (so I can put any kids I might have on it), and a full moon over a waxing crescent. I'd probably let my mom and brother pick a tattoo for me to get as well.

💚 - What’s your favourite colour?

Green and blue have always been colors I've loved since I was little. As I've gotten older, I really grew to love pink and yellow too. I do prefer the lighter shades (and I find pastels v cute). While I mostly did my blog theme for like Valentine's day, I would say rn pink is def my favorite.

🍕 - What’s the last thing you ate?

Baked potato 🥰 it has to be my favorite food. Potatoes are just godsend and baked potatoes? Hell yes

🕰 - What time is it where you are rn?

As if right now, it's 8:50pm. No idea what time it'll be when I post this.

🌟 - What is your zodiac sign?

Scorpio! Nov. 11th is my birthdate. Although wasn't there like a new zodiac sign that was introduced a few years ago? I think technically my zodiac should be that one, but I think I want to keep Scorpio.

🌍 - What is your favourite accent?

Accents are so cute you guys. I'd probably go with the lighter, airy Irish accent.

⚡️ - Do you have any scars?

I have a couple small ones on my hands due to burns while cooking (the amount of times I've been splashed by oil 😅)

🌺 - What’s your MBTI type?

I took the test just cause I don't know how much it changed from the last time I did it. I got INTP: The Logician. It's interesting cause I think every time I've done the test, it's swapped between INTP and INFP

🥀 - Favourite animated movie?

Oof. It's probably between Coraline, Spirited Away, and The Corpse Bride.

📺 - Favourite show?

Critical Role (webshow), Madoka Magica (anime), Teen Titans (cartoon)

😂 - Are you ticklish?

Yep! I don't know how ticklish tho since it's been a while since anyone has tried tickling me. I know I was v ticklish as a baby child but now I think it's mostly my feet that are ticklish.

💍 - Do you ever want to get married?

Absolutely! I'd love to be married some day and have kids. Or if I somehow end up really rich, I might adopt. I mostly want to be a mom. But if I can find someone that can deal with me then I'd like to marry too!

😳 - Do you like your name?

I didn't when I was younger but since becoming an adult and applying for jobs (since you have to use your full name and not a nickname), it's really grown on me. Yeah Kat isn't my real name, but I enjoy it v much as a nickname.

💙 - What colour is your bedroom?

It's a fucking green screen Green. I wasn't around when my room was being painted and my mom mentioned being afraid it'd be too bright. But hey, at least I have a green screen whenever I want to clear space and do weird stuff.

🤓 - How did you get your name?

Ooh so without giving away my whole name, my initials are due to a bet my dad made (some thing was being named and my initials were one of the options, which won). One of my middle names is because my mom's aunt (my great aunt) was a nun and so she couldn't have kids so my mom named me after her (she was my favorite aunt, I very much miss her ❤️). My first name is based on a character from my dad's favorite book.

🎓 - When did/do you graduate?

2018 was when I finished High School. I haven't done college yet just cause I want to save up money and see if I can figure myself out a bit first before doing that.

🍄 - Do you have/want any piercings?

Man I'd love to get piercings but when I first got my ears pierced, they swelled up real badly in like 2 days. I know I have real sensitive skin, but I thought real metals wouldn't affect me that badly. Boy I was wrong. So for now I'll just longingly look at facial jewelry and sigh.

👀 - What colour are your eyes?

Hazel! Depending on what I wear they can look more on the green side.

👱🏻‍♀️ - What is your go to hairstyle?

Pixie cut! I don't have an exact style of pixie, I don't know that much about hair 😅 but I love getting pixie cuts.

🥂 - Have you ever drank underage?

Yes. Never anything good though since it was mostly beer or whatever was being drank due to the holiday.

🍾 - Have you ever gotten drunk?

Nope! I've been tipsy but I always get super tired when I drink so I haven't been able to stay awake long enough to get drunk (which I always do around people I trust, not to worry anyone!)

😱 - What’s your biggest fear?

Claustrophobia. I can probably deal with it better if I'm around someone I really trust so they can help calm me down. This one might be more niche, but being eaten when I'm in some body of water terrifies the shit out of me. I'm decent at swimming, but there's no way in hell I'm going to outswim anything that wants to eat me.

🥵 - Would you rather be too hot or too cold?

God I hate both of them so much. I prefer cold weather so I can bundle up and be comfy. But I'd rather be too hot. Maybe I can sweat off some of my water weight 🙃

🌦 - What’s your favourite weather?

If I don't have to go anywhere, I love the rain. It's just so soothing and a good time. I also love the sound of thunder. I still love rain even if I have to go somewhere, but I'd prefer lighter rain and hopefully it's not cold out while it's raining.

🍂 - What’s your favourite season?

Autumn/Fall. It's just cozy and the vibes are immaculate.

🐷 - What’s your favourite animal?

I am an animal lover so this is tricky. I've been really into pigs lately. They're v cute and I'd love a little piggy (good for hiding bodies too).

🐶 - Do you have any pets?

I mean, I'm not shy about sharing my babies. I have three cats and a dog. I have a few chickens too but I wouldn't really count them as pets.

😴 - What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep?

Back when I was in high school, I could go a couple nights without sleep. But now, I am an old lady with my sleep schedule.

🎨 - Any hobbies?

Besides the obvious, I can loom knit (well I can make an octopus and that's it) but I've made so many for friends and family. It's v fun although I got a new knitting needle and have stabbed myself so many times cause it's ungodly sharp.

🛩 - If travelling was free, where’s the first place you’d go?

I'm overthinking this and that's the issue. If traveling was free then I know I'd be on some waiting list to travel some places because everyone will want to go (trips to Japan would take years). Honestly, I'd probably go to Texas because I have a very good friend that lives there. We've been online friends since I was in middle school and so I really would like to meet her IRL

🎇 - What’s your most searched thing on Google?

Haven't looked yet but I'm nervous laughing because it could be so many things. The amount of times I've looked up "What happens to a body in these conditions..." 😅

I'm dumb, my most recent thing is the MBTI test since I retook it for this

📱 - Favourite app on your phone?

I don't have that many apps on my phone tbh. Webtoons is probably the one that gets used the most (I do have the tumblr app but I much prefer browser). I guess I'd have to go with Discord tho just cause it's how I communicate with friends and there's many fun memories there.

🤠 - Are you more of a city person or a country person?

I live in the country right now and while I love all the open space and there being no rules about what I can and can't do, I do miss being able to go out and do stuff in the city. If I lived in a city that doesn't require driving to get to places then I'd be city girl 100%. So I'll have to go with country just because driving scares me (well other people driving scares me, especially in the city. Everyone is chill driving in the country).

ap 11

Hour each way car trip today which is what I might need to clear my head or let me dwell on some ideas today.

Got an appointment for a consultation for the regular root canal. It's finding people who correct the others that could take awhile. I do have a special fund for major emergency things and the other dentist gave me an estimate of the costs so I can plan.

I will be getting a second opinion on the others having to be redone.

And even tho I had the other two I was getting okay with dealing with dental work and shit until the whole 2021 thing and feeling ready to give myself to Azrael because my life became so out of any resemblance of control.

At least my current circle gets that something had to change at that time and thus it was and I'm still here.

Will give myself until after my dental work is healed and that probable infection is out of my system before I evaluate how much I don't want to live again.

I don't want to die but if I don't distract myself with one thing or another to occupy my mind in a non destructive way there are plenty of intrusive thoughts and thought cycles that don't get me any where that will gladly take over.

And I need to remember to tell all the dentists I am extremely sensitive to Benadryl, one dose and I can feel the Hat Man. Never going to understand people purposefully want to feel that way.

On the bright side of life the horse based consignment store took our NRFB Grand Champions we've been debating how to sell on line. This way no flakes, scams, or having to pack and ship. All that money will go in to household funds, probably the car's oil change and alignment too.

Looking over the writing notes there's a story I would like to tidy up for personal reasons, I had made some margin notes that are no longer needed, and it wouldn't hurt to do some free writing on the SCT one. Really would like to pull it together.

It would also be nice to do some drawing, self. Aside form some sketch book doodles and trying a few things on the tablet I don't think you've done any real drawing since you left the shit shack.

[bardkin]

i warned ya'll lol

i cannot draw mecha or robots (yet), so this will be strictly text-based lol. anyway, oc ramblings under the cut!

content warnings for war crimes, brief discussions of characters being physically & emotionally tortured (though it's not described), and character death. standard stuff for Transformers, tbh-

as a bit of preamble, when it comes to Transformers, i always liked making neutral characters. ex-Cons, ex-Bots, and cybertronians that never picked a side (be that by choice or not).

my experience was mostly with TF:Prime, and later the IDW More Than Meets the Eye / Lost Light comics (both my beloveds).

for this installment of Achilles Goes Off About His OCs, i wanna focus on my oldest & most revamped OCs: three neutrals i've thus far dubbed the Runaway Trio. it's been a placeholder title for like, 3 or 4 years. i don't think it's going to change, at this point :|

going from oldest concept to "newest" (as all three were conceptualized around roughly the same time frame), i'd like to introduce Ashphalt - an archivist with religious trauma! and general trauma, too. quick physical description is she's a crimson-red minibot with gold & black accenting & gold optics/eyes. shortstack who most humans would definitely mistake for being Way younger than she actually is.

in the current day, she's my "not everyone who is traumatized is Sad about it, sometimes they're Angry about it" oc . she's unapologetically frustrated at her trauma and explosive and has bad coping mechanisms that she's trying her fucking damnest to force herself into "getting over." (she learns the hard way that bulldozing through her Issues isn't good for her, but that's for Later. she'll get to heal & eventually kill her abuser tho, as a treat <3)

her initial characterization was.. not great, but i was like, 13 lol at first an oracle/seer who could actually foretell future events, Ash got a huge overhaul later down the line to become what she is today: a pre-war archivist with a record-reading alt. mode, and copious amounts of data at her disposal. she was essentially to be a "remote physical backup" for a lot of old libraries & archives, containing swaths of information that could only be read on proprietary disks.

when the new age of data storage came to be, she was publicly rendered nothing more than a fancy Jack of Many Trades bauble. privately, she was used to store more sensitive data; mainly about governmental matters that i haven't fully decided on, but basically would boil down to any information (such as plans, hearings, meeting recordings, etc) that officials wouldn't want Just Anyone viewing. been stirring around the idea that her archival unit had been bought out & she's slowly realizing this over the later course of her pre-war life.

this also causes her to be a target :]

which leads us to her bodyguard-brother, Lockblitz! his concept honestly hasn't changed much, as he's always been meant to be a sibling-companion to Ash. i created them to be siblings, so they've been conceptually inseparable. physical description: he's teal with black & silver accents, blazing bright teal optics, and he fights with dual-wield blades.

commission forged to be Ash's protector during the first stirrings of riots and uprisings, being Ash's bodyguard is all Blitz has ever known. it's all he lives and breathes for, and at first he's just kind of There, until he and Ash actually talk to one another. they become platonically close over the centuries, a bit of his hardcoded purpose influencing him, but ultimately Blitz forms a genuine relationship with Ash. they start calling each other siblings at one point, and it just feels right.

and it also makes things even worse when the archive gets attacked by a group hailing themselves as "Deceptions." though they're not actually 'Cons, instead being government plants to stir up distrust of the actual anti-functionalist movement. Ash's fellow archivists are slaughtered to make the scene look good. Blitz gets thrashed and left for dead, as he's not fully aware of any government corruption & and is deemed simply as "a nuisance."

and Ashphalt is taken prisoner, rather than killed, to make sure that A. she doesn't talk and/or spread any pesky rumors about all this being staged, & B. any sensitive data doesn't get lost forever.

Blitz actually survives, but believes Ash to be very dead. when the Autobots are established, he manages to join a combat squad in hopes of avenging his sister. he fights for a while during the early parts of the war, pretty much solely focused on stomping out as many Deception sparks as he physically can. he's a good little soldier and never questions orders.

then he gets wind that Ash may actually be alive, courtesy of a soon-to-defect 'Con's broadcast that by chance alerts Blitz' squad leader to an off-world POW camp. this soon-to-be-ex-'Con is pretty much just trying to hail Any Autobot who will listen, describing prisoners in the hopes that someone might recognize a friend or loved one and want to help him set folks free. he specifically details a red minibot who is seemingly the chief medical officer's "favorite plaything" on account of how much intel that can be tortured out of her, and Blitz just knows that's his sister.

so naturally, Blitz tries to get his squad to help him go rescue her. and, naturally, his squad leader forbids him to do so, because it could be a trap & it's also none of their business to throw themselves into that kind of suicide mission. leave that shit up to the Wreckers.

naturally, Lockblitz sucker punches his superior in the jaw and takes off to convene with this soon-to-defect-'Con.

which is where i FINALLY get to introduce my pathetic "god forbid women do anything," perpetually exhausted meowmeow of an old man, Skytrap aka Trapper. physical description as follows: pale blue and white paint job, vivid sea blue-green optics. chunky but angular/sleek build, with downward resting wings on the back of his shoulders. mouthguard always up & is non-removable; think IDW Snare's design. his mannerisms are admittedly MASH Hawkeye Pierce inspired, and that's kind of stuck around whether i want it to or not (which i do want, it's fun).

Skytrap was cold constructed to be a prison guard, and nothing more. he goes through the hell that is the Deception prison "system," and finally snaps when he witnesses the camp's chief medical officer demanding this seemingly random minibot to "confess her truth" about being an "Oracle of Primus."

his broadcast gets answered, though it's not the Autobot calvary he was hoping for. it's just this hotheaded, desperate little punk of a mech who's got exactly One Person to loose. it's clear that this is his only help.

and Skytrap, bless his spark, decides "sure. this is enough." because the worst that can happen at this point is they both die trying.

one sneaking in & starting-a-prison-riot montage sequence later, Trapper and Blitz manage to find Ashphalt. Blitz & Ash get a "i thought you were dead" reunion, before they have to book it. i haven't fully decided how smooth their escape truly goes, but they definitely run into the chief medical officer - or she at least sees them in some capacity. Trapper gets the siblings out of the prison, though just barely, via stealing a space-worthy vessel & using the chaos as a cover.

from there, the three are perpetually on the run, planet hopping until their ship almost gives out & they have to find or steal another. for the entire war, the three hide from 'Cons and 'Bots alike as best they can. all the while, Ashphalt struggles to remember and piece together what happened to her throughout the years she was being tortured and conditioned to believe herself to be an "Oracle."

a lot of her memory is shot, but she wants answers. why was she spared, who ordered her archival unit to be slaughtered in the first place & why? was she sent to that prison specifically, or was that just somewhere to dump her?

a lot of their story after that is kind of open skies, since these characters were specifically made for roleplays. their general character goals vary from rp to rp, but i would like their story to culminate in a sort of "final showdown" with the (currently unnamed) chief medical officer; be it dramatic or quiet. Ash would get to have her first confirmed kill, and both Trapper & Blitz would look away. (sometimes killing your abuser IS cathartic.)

i do have a kind of fanfic 'verse for them where the three are passengers on the Lost Light (primarily because Rung is the only therapist for lightyear-miles or whatever, and Ash Wants To Actively Get Better). Lockblitz tells himself it'll just be a "fun roadtrip," and they'll be able to relax for once in their fucking lives.

heh. he doesn't even know about the [redacted spoilers for like, all of MTMTE]

wanna go off about.... transformer ocs....

[ch3rry3lossom]

Read: Please send requests or ideas! I'll make sure to credit you and try my best to fulfill the request!

#☁️.+~ Characters: hanako kun and tsukasa!

#🧃.+~ Warnings: none! Unless you're triggered by these characters!

#🍓.+~ Summary: hanako/tsukasa meeting you for the first time after noticing you keep and keep coming back to the bathroom stalls to keep them company!

#💌・'~ A special connection.

(Hmm? It's that girl again...) hanako thought to himself as he saw you entering the bathroom stalls for the 6th time this week

He thought it was a bit strange for a girl to come repeatedly to the bathroom each day.....especially if they actually never went inside one to do their business and instead just lay on the floor after cleaning it instead

He would be lying tho if he said he didn't enjoy some company every once in a while

Usually whenever you do come to visit, he just watches you do your own thing. He didn't except you to one day call out his name tho and try to summon him

With nothing else he can think of to do he comes out of the bathroom stall when you call his name the 3rd time in a row

"My my, persistent now aren't we?" hanako says to you as he looks at you with a teasingly look

"Hanako? Is that really you? You ask in amazement, surprised the rumors about a ghost living in the bathroom stalls were true after all

"Who else would it be?" hanako says as he floats around you giggling "now then, I assume you summoned me to grant you a wish right? So then what would it be?" he says as he takes out a note and pencil

"Oh...i don't really want a wish. I just came to see if the rumors were true about there being a ghost in the stalls...i wanted to summon you sooner but I figured that if you were real then it would be more pleasant to come regularly to the bathroom so you would feel a bit more comfortable around me" you say as you smile towards the brown haired boy

What? Was hanakos first thought after proccessing everything you just told him. Usually people wouldn't even bother to stay a couple of minutes in the bathroom after school hours, especially every single day

He was surprised but also felt a tingle of warmness inside him in a way. Something he hasn't felt in a long time. He would be lying if he said he wasn't flustered and a bit happy as well

He found you interesting, not only that but it wouldn't hurt to have a friend to keep him company right?

"I-i see, well then if it's not too much trouble...would you mind being friends and to keep keeping me company?" hanako asked as he looked the other way, trying to hide his embarrassed blushing face

"I don't mind! It must get pretty lonely here in the bathroom stalls all by yourself after all!" you say as you walk towards him and take his hands into yours

"W-wait-what are you-" hanako blurs out as he gets even more flustered and embarrassed as he looks at you

"Let's become great friends hanako! You look like a fun person to be around! You say to him as you smile

He couldn't take his eyes off you. You radiated such bright happiness that He thought it was almost illegal to hold your hands. He hasn't felt such a feeling as warmness and happiness in a long time. He was happy.

"I- if you don't mind me asking, what's your name? Hanako asks you eagerly

"Oh my name? It's Y/N!" you say to him "well it's getting pretty late so I should start heading back home" you say as you let go of his hands and start getting your stuff ready to leave

Hanako immediately felt a tigle of sadness hearing you say that. He wanted you to stay a bit longer but of course he also understood you couldn't stay here forever

"You will come back tomorrow...right?" Hanako asked, scared that everything you have told him so far was a lie

"Of course! Well then I'll see you tomorrow Hanako!" you say walking out of the bathroom as you wave him goodbye

Hanako was speechless. All his life he has just been alone in the bathroom stalls. To actually now have someone as a "friend" made him happier than ever. He was excited to get to know you better

"Oh? What do we have here~" Tsukasa spent no time immediately popping up in front of you to greet you

"Eep!" you quickly stood a step back as you got surprised by tsukasas sudden appearance, not actually thinking the rumors were true

"Oops my bad, did I scare you? Hehe" tsukasa asks as he floats around you, examining you carefully

"O-oh just a bit, you must be tsukasa right?" you ask nervously while keeping a close eye on him

"Yep! The one and only! So why did you summon me? Want a wish granted to you? Hmm?" tsukasa asks with a mischievous smirk

"Oh no! I just wanted to see if the rumors were true! You actually look way more cute than what most people describe you as" you say as you finally calm yourself down and smile towards him

"Oh? You think I'm cute?~" tsukasa asks getting closer to you while giggling

Tsukasa would be lying if he said he didn't get a bit surprised by your response. Especially since he really didn't get any intent from you that screamed wanting a wish to come true

"Mhm! I love your clothes as well! They fit you!" you said as you studied his clothes curiously

"Thanks! Hmm well if you're not here for a wish then what do you want?" tsukasa asks, still not fully convinced you don't want anything from him

"I don't want anything! Like I said I just wanted to see if the rumors were true, and well maybe we can become friends?" you asked smiling as you took tsukasas hands onto yours

"Friends?? Hmm sure! Why not!" tsukasa says as he collides his hands onto yours with a big smile "you better visit me every day then!" tsukasa says giving a pout

"Of course!" you say as you pinch tsukasas cheeks gently

"Hehe you're not scared of me? Usually when people make a wish and get it, they immediately run away and try to stay far away from me....its no fun at all" tsukasa says as he hugs you and looks up at you

"Hmm I think people just don't spend enough time to know you! You actually seem very fun to be around!" you say as you smile and hug him back

"Hehe what's your name by the way?" tsukasa asks while he digs his head into your chest more

You didn't mind his clinyness since you yourself actually loved physical affection from time to time

"My name is Y/n!" you say giggling

"Nice to meet you Y/n! You're staying with me forever from now on! Tsukasa says as he giggles and holds onto you tighter

Usually if someone else would've heard that and noticed how clingy he was getting, they would of immediately became concerned and worried for their safety, but you knew this was just tsukasas way of showing affection to you and well over all tsukasa just being himself so you didn't really pay much attention

"Haha alright tsukasa" you say smiling

Stuff was about to get a whole lot interesting from now on

That's it! This is part one to this little story! I will post part 2 soon! Part 2 will contain how y'all grew through out time and how their thoughts of you have changed! Hope y'all liked this!

[under-the-cherrytree]

the twins and teru in marshmallow hell? i have no idea if you do or do not know what this is💀💀 i dont really know if it counts as nsfw so you can decline if you want haha

Hanako, Tsukasa, and Teru in marshmallow hell❣︎

Warnings: Where do I start- sexual topics, inappropriate talk for kids, uhm… MARSHMELLOW HELL-

A/n: I had no idea what marshmallow hell is so I had to look it up… my life is changed.

I don’t know if this counts as nsfw ether so ima just write it

Sorry if this is a little shorter and not that close to nsfw I don’t really know how to write this kind of stuff well-

Here, you will need some water you thirsty bitches-

Anyways, enjoy and have a day or night as sweet as marshmallows

Hanako was very... VERY shocked when you did that...

He was frozen until he heard his hat fall from the sudden movement bringing him back to reality 

His face flushed a bright red as he tried to gasp for air between your... yeah

"Y-Y/N! W-WHAT ARE Y-YOU DOING I- I CAN'T BREATHE!" He begged. (You don't need to breathe... you are dead-)

"Well if you are always going to look at girls' boobs in those magazines of yours, then here's some right here!" You huffed as he only grew redder.

Yup

Marshmallow hell for him for sure

He will struggle, not that he entirely wants to leave this position tho

How bad he wants to turn the tables and make you flustered instead

You had too much control over him at this moment...

YOU ARE HIS ASSISTANT AFTER ALL-

This was just too much for him right now he was way too flustered!!

After a minute he would give up actually struggling but is still mentally angry with you

Once you let him go, he will create distance so you don't do that again

He will stutter a lot out of embarrassment, wiping the drool from his lip

Totally wasn't enjoy it a bit-

For a while, he will get flustered whenever you enter the room

Like it will be a normal cleaning day and once you enter the room he gets all flustered and shut up

Yashiro and Kou 100% confused 

But one day he will pin you to the wall and bring it up again

Ohhhhhh be prepared to be the one to get flustered now

This bro was unfazed-

Like what-

When you pushed him between your stuff he was just there like "hm?"

He would look up at you and smirk

“What's this love~?” 

He would kiss your chest and playfully, quickly lick it

Get prepared from him to try and start feeling around the new area-

Like his hands will trail up...

He would press himself deeper into your cleavage keeping you in place

If you release him from this marshmallow hell then be prepared from him to be whiny and perverted

“Y/n~ I enjoyed being down there~” 

He will be all clingy and whatnot trying to put his hand on your chest

He will be act so innocent and all too so-

“Y/n~ I don't know what you mean… after all, you were the one who shoved me there~”

Teru was genuinely confused 

He knew what marshmallow hell was

But why was he in this hell right now?

He would blush quite a bit but wouldn’t want to do anything without your permission

So he would just question what you are doing first

“Y/n..? W-what are you doing..?” He would blush and you would just give him a ‘hmp’

He wouldn’t want to touch you so he has a better idea

He would pin you to the wall and grin

“Y/n, do you need to be punished~?” 

He wouldn’t actually touch you any further than you let him

He would never want to force himself on you so he will just work with what he got

At the end of his little teasing you will be flustered

He would take the chance to leave this hell and would just smile at you

“What was that for darling~?”

what did I just write-

[fanficwritingcentral]

Expert for chapter 5 of Sing, oh Muse, of the tragedy of James Bond. Might end up changing when I write the chapter out completely, we'll see. Enjoy this tho, I don't know when I'll get around to writing it completely but it might happen quicker than the others since this is the only chapter I've had completely planned when I first got the idea for the story.

Madeleine saw James' eyes leave her's to look behind only for his face drop and whisper "Q?"

She immediately turned to see what had James look so scared, she knew Q didn't get up from the couch with her but she was so clouded in her shock and euphoria from seeing James appear bright and alive in front of them that when she stood up, Madeleine barely gave a thought to the man who grieved beside her.

Looking at Q now, she understood what had James so scared, it scared her too. The man sat there shaking, looking at James with so much pain with tears coming out of his eyes and hands clenched so tightly on the couch that Madeleine believed he could easily tear the fabric.

She took a step forward to help, it hurt to see a man she cared for so much in pain and she was furious with herself for not seeing it, distracted as she was. But, James beat her to it. She's never seen the man move so fast, it felt like in one second he was still in front of her and the next he was kneeling in front of Q, stroking Q's clenched hands to try and detach them from the fabric and whispering a name she knew no longer existed on any paper that would connect it to the Quartermaster.

Seeing that James had Q well in hand, Madeleine turned back around to face the two other visitors in her home that arrived in a flash of light with James. Both were terrifying in their glowing (literally) beauty. The woman with her long glowing white hair and dark eyes that made her think of the night sky. The man with pure golden hair and eyes such a familiar shade of blue. To describe anymore of their features felt impossible, they were only perfection, it almost hurt to look at them.

[obkkfkr]

I'm dedicating this post to @kirpyee bc hell yes swamp monster obt x fairy kks has so much dumbassery potential

Imma go on a rant here bear with me

Obito: basically a gentle giant, he spends 10 hours every day just sitting on a rock outside feeling the sun. Doesn't like it when it's too bright, so he lives in a cave. Can sprout branches from his body and make any kind of flower bloom on them.

Kakashi: can change size from a ladybug to a chihuahua. Loves sprinkling shit with fairy dust. Very jealous of Obito when other fairies find him (even tho he invited them to make the swamp more lively)

Obito likes when Kakashi naps on him, he even makes special flowers for Kakashi to sleep in. Or if Kakashi wants he can make flowers with nectar that get Kakashi high/drunk. Kakashi brings in more fairies to the swamp but they start messing with the place so much Obito gets a bit upset. Too many fairy lights in his cave so Kakashi gives him sunglasses. And when a fairy tries to sit on Obito's antlers? Kakashi sprinkles Obito's head with so much fairy dust his antlers shine brighter than Edward's junk. Obito has no idea he has basically a disco ball on his head.

And Obito may or may not show his annoyance with certain fairies in very silent ways. Oops one got crushed by a branch. Oops that flower has poisonous nectar. Oops that tree sap melts flesh.

Sometimes humans walk into the swamp and every damn time they mistake Obito for a wendigo. Obito gets so upset, it's just because of the antlers. But don't you worry, his little fairy boyfriend will make sure those people leave the swamp cursed forever.

Also, about how they started dating? Kakashi just sat on Obito's hand, curious as to what he looks like. Obito brought Kakashi closer to his face to take a better look and Kakashi just jumped up to kiss his nose. He found out how easily blushy Obito gets.

Also I made like a few sketches of Obito but I'm too damn lazy to draw the sheer amount of moss and vines on him so

And my friend made fairy kakashi in picrew, that sly minx with Obito vs when someone pisses him off

The Apartment: part 8

▪️for parts 1-7, click here

pairing: Kuroo Tetsurou x fem! reader

rating/warnings: swearing, drinking

synopsis: You knew that living with your three best friends, Kuroo, Oikawa, and Bokuto, would be a wild ride. It’s never a dull moment with those three. Let’s just hope you can keep your huge crush on Kuroo a secret when he is only a room away.

a/n: hi friends!! so this is going to be the second to last part :(( thank you again for all the love on this 💛 [this part is a little less fluffy so sorry about that, I’ll make up for it tho :) ] the taglist is still open for the last part of you’d like to be added, and my inbox is still open for requests :) okay, enjoy xx 🌸

•

eight: forever

The rest of the week felt like a dream. Each morning, Kuroo would wake you with a shower of kisses and have you wrapped up in his arms. You couldn’t believe that this was your life now, that after years of chasing after this boy, he was yours. You did still tease Kuroo a lot that if he had just told you he felt the same, you two could have saved some precious time. Still, you were happy enough to call him yours.

“Do you know around what time they’ll be getting here?” you asked. Oikawa and Bokuto were finally coming back from their little trips today. You and Kuroo were just organizing the apartment before they arrived.

“Bokuto texted me and he said they should be here in about 5 minutes,” explained Kuroo. You nodded. You missed your friends dearly. Though things around the apartment might be a little different now that you and Kuroo were together, you would all figure it out.

You went to sit on the couch as you waited for Oikawa and Bokuto. Kuroo joined you, putting his arm around you. You rested your head on his chest.

“I love you, you know that right?” he said. You looked at him and smiled.

“I love you too, you know that right?” you kissed his cheek. Kuroo moved your legs to rest on his, his hand on your thigh.

“I can’t wait to see Bokuto and Oikawa’s reaction to us,” said Kuroo. You chuckled.

“I have a feeling they aren’t going to mind.”

~

*Knock Knock*

You jumped up from Kuroo’s lap so fast and rushed over to the door.

“HEY HEY HEY!” You jumped into Bokuto’s arms instantly.

“Um hey I’m here too,” pouted Oikawa. Kuroo gave Oikawa a hug.

“We missed you too,” smiled Kuroo. Bokuto set you down and you went over to Oikawa.

“I missed you so much Toru!” Oikawa’s eyes widened.

“Toru? No shittykawa, no flattykawa?” You laughed.

“You just got back so I won’t insult you just yet,” you joked. Kuroo wrapped his arms around your waist. Oikawa and Bokuto looked at each other, then back at you and Kuroo.

“Wait...did you guys…?” Began Bokuto before he trailed off. You looked at Kuroo and smiled. Kuroo nodded. Bokuto and Oikawa pulled the two of you into a hug.

“FINALLY YES YES!” cheered Bokuto . The four of you bounced up and down in your silly group hug.

“I swear if I had to watch Y/N drool over Kuroo for one more day I would have moved out,” said oikawa, breaking from the hug. You hit his arm.

“Oh shut up,” you groaned. Kuroo kissed your head.

“Yeah not like she could be any more obvious,” he joked. You rolled your eyes.

“Okay okay we get it.”

~

“No,” protested Bokuto. You sighed

“Please Bo! It will just make things easier.”

“I am not sharing a room with Oikawa,” he pouted.

“Hey you should be honored to share a room with me!” huffed Oikawa.

“Bokuto think about it, do you really want me sneaking into Kuroo’s room every night? It will just be easier if we switch rooms.”

“Why don't you just keep it in your pants instead?” muttered Oikawa. Kuroo gave him a glare.

“If you switch rooms with me, I’ll make barbecue for dinner tonight,” you proposed. Bokuto’s eyes lit up.

“Deal.”

~

Life in the apartment was never better. You finally got yourself moved into Kuroo’s room and as much as Bokuto and Oikawa would never admit it, they were having so much fun sharing a room. It was like a slumber party everyday with those two.

Your full year in the apartment was almost finished. School kept you busy but so did your roommates and boyfriend. Those three never failed to put a smile on your face. Every day was filled with its own mini adventure. Whether it was working out with Bokuto, having a spa day with Oikawa, or a date with Kuroo, you loved every bit of it. (You and Kuroo even went on a few double dates with Calie and AJ).

The four of you were snuggled up on the couch. It was ‘self care’ night as Oikawa liked to call it. So you sat on Kuroo’s lap, tying his hair up with a little hair tie, and applying a bright blue face mask on him.

“Why does this smell like an orange?” he asked.

“Maybe because it’s a citrus face mask idiot” replied Oikawa. You chucked. You, Oikawa, and Bokuto already had your masks on.

“I have the bubbly!” cheered Oikawa, holding his favorite rosé. You sighed.

“I still wonder why we let you buy that,” you joked. Oikawa began to pour four glasses.

“Hey, this rosé brought you and the nerd together after all so I think we should be grateful,” he handed you a glass.

“I wouldn’t go that far…” mumble Kuroo. You laughed and gave him a quick peck.

“Doesn’t matter to me how we got together, just that we did,” you smiled.

“Gross,” muttered Bokuto. Kuroo playfully hit his arm.

“Okay okay, cheers?” said Oikawa. The four of you held your glasses up and clinked them together.

“Okay so what are we watching?” You asked, turning on the TV.

“‘Gilmore Girls’!”

“‘Unsolved Mysteries’!”

“‘Sports Center!’”

You looked at your friends and laughed.

“I’m picking then.” You decided on ‘Grease’ to keep with the theme of ‘self care’ night.

After about 20 minutes, you all washed your face masks off. Bokuto was very pleased with how ‘bright’ his complexion looked.

“Bokuto you've never looked better!” said Oikawa.

“Thank you! Wait…”

The four of you went back to the living room, this time you and Kuroo cuddled together on the loveseat while Bokuto and Oikawa shared the couch.

“Have you checked the mail recently?” You asked. Kuroo pointed to the kitchen table.

“Everything should be there,” he explained. You went over and grabbed the small bundle of letters, scanning through them. One of the letters caught your attention.

“Hey guys, this ones from the landlord,” you said. You opened up the letter and began to read it.

“What’s it say babe?” asked Kuroo.

“We need to send in our request to renew our lease by the end of the week,” you explained. When you all decided to rent out your apartment, you only signed a one year lease, unsure how things would go.

“Well uh...we haven’t really talked about that stuff yet,” said Oikawa. You moved to sit with Kuroo again, showing him the letter.

“Do we really want to talk about this now? Seems like a kinda serious topic,” whispered Bokuto. Oikawa sighed.

“I’ve been meaning to tell you guys but...Iwa asked me if I wanted to move in with him for our last year. His roommate transferred so he has the room,” explained Oikawa. Your heart dropped.

“Yeah Akaashi suggested that I move in with him for next year too, since I’ll be staying with him after graduation anyway,” said Bokuto. You shook your head, trying to process their words.

“Wait so you all want to move out for our last year?”

“We don’t know if we actually will yet...it’s just an option,” whispered Oikawa.

“But if just one of us moves out, this place is too expensive and we won’t be able to pay,” you sighed.

“Y/N calm down a bit…”

“I am calm! I’m just trying to understand why you guys would want to move out for our last year?” You felt your eyes starting to water. Kuroo gently started to rub your back.

“Y/N, it’s gonna be okay. Oikawa and I aren’t even sure if we will be moving out. It was just an idea-“

“Well I don’t like this idea!” You cried. The boys were quiet.

“How-How can you guys just leave? What happens during our senior year then? What if we don’t have classes together? What about after graduation? We are just supposed to part our ways? If you guys move out then I’ll never see you again!”

Tears were streaming down your face before you even realized it. Bokuto and Oikawa squeezed next to you on the loveseat.

“Hey Y/N, of course you’ll see us again. But you know we weren’t all gonna live together forever, right?” said Oikawa. You sighed.

“I know but...you guys are the only family I have. I-I’m not ready to just let you leave me just yet,” you sobbed. Kuroo brought you to his chest.

“No one is leaving anyone Y/N. We are still your family, that’s never gonna change. Just because we might not all live together doesn’t mean we won’t all be together,” said Kuroo. Oikawa and Bokuto joined Kuroo in giving you a right hug.

“I just...I just want you guys to be happy,” you murmured, “so I guess if moving out makes you happy, then you should.”

“We are happy. This is just about our future, after college, you know?” said Bokuto. Kuroo wiped the tears from your eyes.

“Will you live with me?” You asked Kuroo. He chuckled.

“I was planning on it silly.” Kuroo kissed the top of your head.

“Yeah we can’t third and fourth wheel forever,” laughed Bokuto. You gave him a small smile.

“Hey now, Y/N, don’t tell me you’ll actually miss me?” joked Oikawa.

“I’ll miss you least of all shittykawa,” you laughed. Oikawa smiled.

“We can talk about this later okay guys? Let’s just enjoy the movie,” suggested Bokuto. You nodded.

The four of you stayed crammed into the loveseat, enjoying each other’s closeness.

“I love you guys,” you said. The boys looked at you.

“We love you too.”

Kuroo kissed your cheek.

“But I love you most of all, okay?”

You smiled. “Okay.”

Moi and Rai were best at their job. They were taking care of human being´s souls. Making sure everyone will meet their soulmates sooner or later. You see, it´s not easy work. Especially when you have younger sibling. Parca were exact opposite of his relatives. While Moi were warm, dressed in brown-red-orange-yellow clothing and Rai, cold in purple-blue-green-pink attire, Parca were like a shadow. Black-white-grey-silver outfit matching their neutral, mischievous personality. As the youngest, Parca were causing a lot of problems, making eternity harder for Moi and Rai.

„Hear, hear my dear fellow immortal!” Parca were dancing around big hall where Rai were checking on their broken souls, looking for suitable candidate for today. „What do you want Parca?” „Oh, don’t be grumpy. I have news for you and our precious Moi.” „They are next door. You know we have counting at this hour. Don’t you have as well?” „All done. But there is something our boss want you and Moi to do. As priority.” „I'm sure it can wait.” „Um-mm, nope.” Parca grin as Rai frown. Then bright light appears and with that Moi too. „What's so urgent?” Parca gave them gloving rolled up parchment. When Rai open it, Moi gasp. „Finally! He was bugging me since 1937!” „There is one problem tho dear Moi. Look.” They read written words loud. „James Buchanan Barnes and Y/N Y//L/N. Shite.” „Moi, language!” „Details. Now lets work. Those two will be a tough nut.”

And since that day their plan set in motion.

You absolutely hated Bucky Barnes. Why? Because he was annoying little shit, always thinking he's better than you in everything. It was partly true, but he doesn’t need to know, right?

You just came to kitchen for breakfast when wall of muscles stopped you. „Look where you going dipshit!” Bucky smirked at you. „Someone woke up in bad mood?” he teased. „Shut up.” you hissed and opened upper cabinet only to find it empty of your favourite cereals. „Borky! Where is my food?” You turned around, but he was gone. With sight you took cereals from Wanda´s shelf. She will forgive you.

Morning shower was very relaxing. You almost forgot about Bucky. Until loud alarm went off and you dropped your shampoo as you jumped. „Damn it Rogers.” you cursed, quickly dried yourself and ran into your room for clothes when bucket full of glitters fell on you, leaving you startled. You couldn’t take another shower and had to change before Steve would come looking for you. Shaking glitters from yourself, best as you could, you put t-shirt and shorts on and hurried to meeting room. Everyone else was there.

„What happened to you?” Sam asked. Bucky was visibly holding back from laughing. „I had fight with my hobby cabinet. What do you think happened? This motherfucker prepared trap on me!” you sassed and gave Bucky middle finger. „That's enough! Y/N, sit down. We have emergency mission. Source said there is hidden Hydra facility in Atlanta. We don’t have building plans, but source said there are weapons and maybe a lab as well. Our tactic is go in, capture those peasants and destroy it.” Tony lifted his hand. „Yes Tony?” „Maybe we can take some guns for studies. And lab tech. You know, to better understand our enemies what are they doing.” Steve sighted. „Fine Tony. You can have one or two of their weapons. Banner and Dr. Cho will have lab stuff. Sam, Bucky, Y/N - suit up. Departure in 15 minutes.” You were leaving when Steve stopped you and Bucky. „Buck you have something to say to Y/N?” „Sorry.” he rolled his eyes. „Help her vacuum the floor. Quickly. And don’t try anything during mission. Both of you. Understood?” „Yes.” you said at the same time. „Great. Dismiss.”  

„Ok, Mr. And Mrs. Grumpy. We´ll fly for an hour. Try not to kill each other.” Sam said from pilot seat. You took out your book and started reading. It was quiet for few minutes. Then you heard loud chewing and bubble bursting. Bucky smirked at you when you looked at him. You went back to your book and tried to ignore him. That worked for 10 minutes. „For fuck sake! Stop it!” you shouted. „What is it now?” Sam was tired of your fights. „He's chewing like an animal!” „Oh c'mon Buck. You can´t stop it for one flight?” „I´ll try.” Sam went back to cockpit and you put headphones on. To yours and Sam misfortune Bucky had yet another idea how to make you unhappy. His music was much louder than yours and his beaming smile was enough for you to throw your patience out of window. „Sam! I´m  gonna to pilot and you sit here with this idiot.” If it meant to stop your fighting and have nice flight, Sam did it with no problem. Parca were pleased with themselves, little smug smile on face. They had so much fun. Rai and Moi were shaking their heads in cockpit.

„Why you have to do all those things to her Buck?” his friend asked. „It´s fun! She's like small child when she's angry. All red and death stares in one minute and second later she bakes chocolate cake for whole team.” „We all know you love her cake. But you really should try to restrict your pranks. I don’t want her to leave because of it.” „Nah, she's tough.” „As your captain I have to insist.” „Damn Bird brain, when did you turn into such strict man?” „On this mission. Wanna play cards?” „Sure.”

„We will land in five minutes. I sent Redwing already. He shot guards on the roof. There are 30 subjects in, garage full of cars and weapons.” „No lab?” „Maybe underground. Think Y/N, geez.” „Stop that. We have work to do.” With that Sam walked out. „After you.” Bucky mockingly bowed. „I hate you.” you said and followed your captain.

You prepared your gun and ran next to the wall, Bucky right behind. You looked from around the corner. „There is big concrete field. We have to run across it.” „That's stupid idea. They will see us right away.” „Then come up with better plan Mr. I-know-everything.” „I will. Let me think.” „Don’t hurt yourself.” „If you would shut up, you would know you have to find other way. There are mines under that concrete.” Sam said into our comms. „You almost got us killed! Are you brainless?” Bucky looked at you with disappointment. „I didn’t know there are mines!” He was silent, only moved his head for me to follow him. „Sam, is roof still clear?” „Yop.” „Can you get us there?” Metal wire appeared next to you and you took it. „Hold tight Y/N.” You knew what will come, but it was still weird how small thing like Redwing could lift you and fly. „Amateur.” Bucky scoffed and jumped on the roof with ease. „Show off.” you sneered when you landed next to him. „At least I have something to show.” Suddenly you felt small sting in shoulder. „Ouch, what the fuck? Were we drugged or what?” „No. Only little electric shock because you are not doing your work. Move your asses.” „Yes Cap.”

You ran across roof, then jumped on main building and hopped down on the ground. „Should we knock?” „Don’t be funny. I found you way in. There are back door on your right.” You moved there. „Stay behind me.” Bucky said and opened the door. You walked in and right away gunfire started. Bucky was effective as shield while you both tried to defence yourself.

Unbeknownst to you, there were Parca sitting on the car, laughing. Moi and Rai were there too. And thanks to their intervention you disarm almost all men inside the garage. Those who tried to run fell into Sam's trap. Moi moved destroyed cars and dead bodies for you to see secret door to laboratory.

You opened it and had to move from flying glowing ball. „Bucky, look out!” you screamed but it was too late. It hit him and his eyes rolled up as he fell down. Parca were very happy with their work. Moi and Rai not at all. You shot few guards and captured lab doctors. „Sam! Get Bucky out.” „Working on it.” You walked back into garage and found Bucky on the floor, panting. „You all right?” „Yeah.” „Take them. I´m going to check other buildings.” He nodded and even when he was shaking a bit doctors looked afraid of him.

„All clear. Gonna prepare some boxes for you Sam.” It took around 30 minutes and once you were done and safe in quinjet he blew up the facility. You turned to Bucky. „How are you feeling?” „Like I got hit by lighting ball.” „Ha, ha. Now for real.” „Fine. But my arm isn't working how it should.” „Let me see.” You started carefully repairing it and he was watching you all the time. Moi and Rai smiled at each other. Then Parca moved your hand wrong direction and Bucky yelped in pain. „Sorry! I´m so sorry!” „It´s ok. At least touch sensor is working.” You laughed in relief and continued your work.

„Good job. Were there any problems?” Steve asked when you landed. „Just Bucky´s hand. He went to medical bay already. Y/N took amazing advantage of situation and secured laboratory and all buildings” „Good. We will sort things out from here. You go and rest. See you tomorrow.”

You said your farewell to Sam and closed door of your personal paradise called your room.

[red-dia]

hi! i've always loved your hnk panel redraws and recently i've been so inspired by them that i've tried my hand at coloring some panels too! if you don't mind me asking, do you have any tips?

oh i certainly do! some of these are a bit generic/art related but they’re definitely useful in this case too. I’m adding a read more because unfortunately it got a bit long but here you go:

1) Get to know your tools!

Since you weren’t very specific, I’ll assume you aren’t too familiar with art softwares (and if you are, you can just skip that part it’s not That deep). I’ll start with the basics; I know this is obvious, but please bear with me, because understanding how your program works WILL make you a lot more efficient.Here are quick descriptions of some features I think are very useful - I use Clip Studio Paint, but I believe most programs have equivalents. If you don’t know them, please experiment with them, they’ll come in handy!

- Locking transparency :

Locking the transparency of a layer means only the parts where something is already drawn can be modified. Basically, you can recolour something that already exists in a rather precise way.

This is very useful for gradients, which I’ll talk about a bit later.

- Clipping layers :

This gives the same result as locking a layer then drawing over it, but the difference is that you use more than 1 layer ; one as the bottom layer, defining the part of the canvas you can draw on, and the others, clipped on top, where you’ll draw. This can be more practical than locking transparency, because if you have a lot of details to add, doing everything on a single layer may make things more difficult.

I use this a lot when I shade, but just like gradients, I’ll bring that up later.

- Layer settings :

These options change the way the colours on a layer blend with the colours below. As an example, addglow is pretty good for colouring very bright light sources or for adding highlights on gems  :

Basically, using those isn’t a necessity, but they’re still pretty useful so I’d recommend experimenting with them whenever you feel like it!

- Magic Wand : 

Not the most complicated to use, but damn it’s really useful. It allows you to make selections based on the colours you’re targeting, so basically, if you need to colour an entire area a certain colour, you can just select it from the original panel, go on the layer where you’re colouring, and colour nothing but the part you selected. That’s about it!

There are lots of others, but these are the main ones you need to know about when you’re getting started. 

2) Colouring stuff

This is where it gets interesting! I guess! I’m not too good at just coming up with these kind of tips, so I’ll illustrate with some colouring, hopefully it’ll help you out?

I usually colour in 5 parts : 1) Preparing the panel(s), 2) Applying flat colours, 3) Adding gradients, 4) Adding shading, 5) Finalising with details.

I always prepare pages in the same way: first, I use the magic wand to select everything i do NOT want to colour ; the frames around the panels, the speech bubbles, the sfx, etc. Once they’re selected, I copy them, and paste them on a new layer. Then, I select the original layer, and turn it transparent so I can colour below while still keeping the lines. To do that, I go in Menu > Edit > Change brightness to opacity (in CSP at least, it depends on your program tho but most of them support this, I think!).

I end up with something like this : 

Two layers, one on the bottom with the semi-transparent page, and another on top, with everything that I don’t plan on touching. On the page on the right, you can get an idea of what it looks like when you add a layer below these 2 and draw on it.

Now that I’m done with the panel, I can start adding some (flat) colours. 

I think it’s a good idea to start with the background, because it’ll help you figure out the feeling you want to give the panel.

The airbrush is a pretty good tool for gradients btw, just make sure you use a brush that is big enough so the transition in colours looks natural.

Next, I add a new layer, and colour the shape of the characters (and here the vessel as well), so it stands out from the background. It’ll make colouring less complicated, since the lines will be clearer.

As you can see, I was kind of confident, so I directly added a gradient. The bottom of the panel is a bit “darker”, because I wanted the main light source to be the reflect on Phos’….. head thing?

Here’s something kind of important about your choice of colours : if you’re colouring an area that is already shaded in the original panel, I would recommend taking a colour that is more saturated than it should, or else the colour may end up looking dull because the original shading will make it darker.

Next, I do more flat colours. Nothing too fancy, and pretty much everything is on different layers. The clothes are left uncoloured because the background colour already fits, so it’s okay honestly

Then, I added some gradients using clip layers :

As a reference, I used some overlay layers for Dia’s hair, and some addglow layers for Phos’ alloy.

I mean it when I say gradients are important! They make your colouring feel more complete even when they’re barely visible. quickly coloured bortz for reference, assuming tumblr won’t compress the colours too much:

the bastard on the left has nothing but flat colours. They’re nice, but when you’ll have shaded everything, chances are it’ll look kind of …. i dunno, like something is missing? So yeah, gradients : good, though i would recommend you keep them in the same tone as the base colour. I’ll talk about this a bit more later if i don’t forget.

Ok! next: 

I felt like golden colours weren’t quite fitting the mood, so i added a layer with blue on top of it to make it colder. It’s at 40% transparency, so you can still see the colours behind well enough. Some parts were slightly erased because i liked the idea of these parts being lighter (you can see it a little bit around phos’ neck, or above dia’s knees : these parts are yellower than the rest of the pic)

I added some shading! Nothing too fancy. also not to sound like some gradient-freak but you can add some of those in shading as well, it’s usually a nice touch.

After than, I added some lightings, which are on a layer clipped on the original manga panel (so basically only the black parts of the original image changed colours, and the colouring work I did on the layers below wasn’t really affected, if that makes sense?)

The red lighting is the obvious one (it’s an airbrush, and i used an eraser to clear the part near Phos’ head so it looks like it’s coming from above/behind them and not from themself). 

There is another lighting at the bottom, which is grey/blueish, to contrast with the warm colours on the top of the pic. it also kind of looks like smoke but yeah

Now the panel is mostly done, and I’m starting the “details” part.

Something I find really bothersome in the manga is the *original* shading : while it’s always really good, colouring under it will leave some grid of pixels on top of your colours, so to counter that i just colour on top of the grid by colour picking and painting on a layer above the manga layer.

It’s a bit tedious but it has a texture that makes it look like a painting. The downside is that the colours can be altered since you’re colourpicking from something with an irregular pattern, but it can end up making your panel look less boring, honestly, it just depends on what you’re aiming for!

I end up with something like that : 

And then it’s just. Whatever man. I added a black border and some highlights, sparkles, etc, it’s the kind of things you do when you’re basically done. 

For the technical aspect, I’m not sure I have a lot more to add. If you want some advices for picking colours, tho…

3) General colour stuff :

These are just recommendations! Licherally these are mental notes i came up with ever since i’ve started colouring, so they’re kind of personal and if you don’t follow them you’ll be fine, i suppose. But so far they’ve been useful to me so consider them whenever you’ll be colouring something:

- Do not use pure white! Unless it’s for something CLEARLY meant to stand out, such as the frame of your pages, a speech bubble, sparkles, or a light source/something very shiny. If you’re just colouring something that is not meant to draw attention, use some other shade of white, but not the  #ffffff one if you see what i mean?

- Same about pure black, to be honest. 

The shades circled in red tend to look “emptier” than the ones circled in green (here the hue of the colour is yellow but it works with most colours). It doesn’t mean you can’t use it, just, use it sparingly or it may make things look dull I think? I would recommend trying a few shades before taking a decision.

- Sometimes adding highlights where the shading starts can make the transition look smoother: 

- Even if a panel is already shaded in the original page, I would recommend shading it again, because the manga shading is a black shading and shading a coloured drawing with black usually doesn’t look that good. (hence why i said something about using saturated colours in shading earlier).

- Even if a panel isn’t shaded in the original page, consider shading it anyways, even if it’s just a very light shading. It’s worth it :o)

I’m running out of things to say oh well
