#i hope this answers the question

[herefortheships]

We’ve seen how crazy yet lowkey romantic the Beetlebabes wedding is, so that makes me wonder: what do you suppose their wedding night would be like?

I have to say I hadn't thought about this one yet! How could their wedding night go?! Hmm... Let's muse about it for a bit then! ✨

It looked like he really enjoyed being tossed around by Delores on their wedding night, and he went pretty wild himself. But what I see in that scene is that Betelgeuse is a man who will match your freak. So whatever Lydia's freak is, this man will match it. I think he's the kind of man who will very enthusiastically let his lady do to him whatever she wants in bed, and he'll make sure she's enjoying herself. But Lydia better be ready, because, you better believe it, he's gonna bring his own freak too. 😏

There will be a lot of tender loving as well, no doubt. Beej has been waiting for this night for years, and Lydia, I'm sure has never been loved the way Beej loves her (sorry Richard, you can't be compared lol), and he's gonna pour all of that love and desire onto her with a passion Lydia didn't think possible. He's gonna worship her body in a way she's never experienced before, I'm sure. This girl is gonna learn some things for the first time ever in her 50s.

I’m curious, Do you have a favorite timeline/world state from among all the different aus you’ve written over the years? Which ones do you think ended up with the best/happiest world? Or the worst world? Lol sorry if I’m coming off as a reading comprehension test…I’m bad at wording things without being too specific but I’m just interested to know what reflections you may have on your body of AU work. There’s so much of it by now! If you’d like to share.

Hmmm.

If I had to choose a favorite AU as in "I like how it came out," it'd probably be the one where Tom and Melissa escape together, or the Into the Spider-Verse style AU. Since I take an evil delight in creatively misinterpreting prompts, I probably had the most fun when writing the juvie hall AU and the Pixar AU — those both kind of wrote themselves. On the other end of the spectrum, the one where Marco is Deaf and the one where Jake's stuck as a tiger were fun because they required more background work, but interesting background work — both prompts happened to be right in my Goldilocks zone of being close to my own experience and relatively easy for me to research, where Jake being stuck as an eel or Marco being blind wouldn't have been.

I guess I don't have a favorite or least-favorite outcome. I honestly prefer the canon ending to any one that I've written. And if I dislike a possible ending (e.g. everyone ending up controllers) then I simply don't write it.

Happy Thoughts Thursday!!

Is there a quote that you feel embodies your writing? Not one you wrote, but one from someone else.

For instance for @devil-in-the-details-ay, I have found this quote by Anais Nin fits so perfectly with them... "When I saw you I thought, here is a man I could love. And I was no longer afraid of feelings."

HI CJ!!! This is quite a heavy question and I have more than one answer (i collect them on my twitter). If I have to choose just one, though:

“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.” - David Ellsworth, The Serenity of Selfism

what is Soren Kirkengaard like

Oh boy 😅 Please take my opinions on Kierkegaard for what they're worth considering I've taken exactly one class on him, and that was in spring 2020 so you can imagine how conducive the environment was to learning...

Kierkegaard is famously difficult in large part because he doesn't want to tell you what he thinks most of the time. He writes in a lot of different forms and styles, and a lot of his best known works are under pseudonyms, each of which represents a different persona. He's very concerned with issues of human experience - ethics, the development of the virtues, the process of forming one's identity - and he doesn't think there's a "view from nowhere" for that: you have to consider it all from a first-personal perspective. All the personas are tools for imaginatively putting yourself in different pairs of shoes. In that respect reading Kierkegaard (at least the pseudonymous writings, I'm less familiar with the writings published in his own name) is a lot more like reading literature than reading most philosophy - he doesn't say what you should think about and why so much as take you along on the journey of looking at life through the eyes of characters who are living it in different ways.

(That's why I find him so hard. I enjoy reading literature and poetry but I've never had the ability to get it - you need to give me premises and a conclusion before I can get a handle on what you're trying to communicate. If you're better at literature you'll probably get more out of him than I can)

Question time! The Floating Islands Inferno is part of the AVJverse?

XD

No not really.

"Floating Islands Inferno" is a place in between universes but separate from them...

So no it is not part of the "AVJverse."

And as for why corruptive file has been there, Well like most other Sans he can travel between AU or universes...

Plus he likes to visit his adopted dad Anti_Error from time to time, just to see how he's doing.

pls rb if you think cuddling doesn't have to be s3xual

im tryna prove a point to my bf's mother help me out

[spinning-faces]

If they had voices would it change when the speaker changes

what?

Uhhh they have 2 separate voices yes?

They can use each other's voice despite the other speaking

They don't do this often however

Its the same thing with their faces, they have faces that they use to identify themselves with but they can change them at anytime

This is why the pinned post says to pay attention to the star

Raina: red, green, yellow

Lance: dark blue, purple, white

[future-crab]

What if you were Pluto’s most devout nun and you found out the only two people you’ve ever had romantic feelings for were God’s dead girlfriend and God’s dead daughter. Like what are you even supposed to do with that information.

If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about drawing fat? :3

JUST THE EXCUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR

So, for me personally, a lot of the time when I draw fat characters, I'm not looking to specifically capture the specifics of fat as much as the feel of fat. Bulkier, rounder shapes in the right places that has a feeling of weight to em! A lot of that is intuition and simplification at this point, but it all works on the same frame as just any ol' person. Like take this-

For example. This is the basis for any body shape, not just the more average one that it may imply. Sure- it can be that average body shape:

But also a fat one too!

And a big part of that is knowing where fat usually tends to bunch up on the body, so lets take a look piece by piece! (Please keep in mind this is very simplified, and not completely precise in some parts)

THE FACE: Cheeks (in purple) and especially the chin (in light blue) are the places where a lot of the fat is gonna wanna gather and round out on your face! Additionally, theres a small pocket of fat beneath the cranium on the backside of your head. It's small, but it is there. I believe fat can build up elsewhere like the bridge of your nose and forehead, but generally speaking, you're gonna have a whole lot more buildup in other places first.

THE TORSO: A lot of the fat built up on the torso is gonna be sent to your tummy. More cushioning for vital organs, mostly out of the way, it just makes sense. Additionally, the lower backs fat builds up and joins with a patch of fat on your sides that forms what is typically referred to as the love handles to make that double belly look. Along with this, the immediate next target for the torso is the breasts, followed by the upper back!

THE ARMS: For this limb, a VERY notable amount of the fat present builds up on the tricep and bicep areas, lessening once you get towards the flexor and extensor areas. You can almost think of the arm as a sort of triangular shape, wide side starting from the shoulder and tapering towards the hand, which itself mostly builds up fat around the back of the hand and the fingers. The shoulders themselves don't build up too much fat unless you got a lot

THE LEGS: And finally, you can think of the legs having pretty similar curves to what you're probably already used to thinking. The front of the thighs getting a big buildup, along with the back of the calves, the other parts being flatter in turn. As far as the feet go- similarly to the hands, the top of the feet, along with the heels get most of the buildup, as fat on your soles would impede mobility. The glute, hip and crotch area will also especially build up fat, lending to the same triangular shape that you can see in the arm!

A big thing to note with fat is that it tends to taper off towards joints. Your knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and all the other places are gonna have significantly less fat so that you remain mobile and flexible, as that's important!

Now that we have an idea of where fat builds up on the body, you might have something that looks kinda like this

Which yes, does demonstrate a solid understanding of the places fat builds up, lacks the weight you're probably trying to convey, which brings us to out next point! Fat is well... heavy! Gravity is what gives fat much of it's shape, especially as you tread towards larger and larger bodies.

This is demonstrated really well on the arms especially-

Those big ol' bits of fat'll really start to sag when left hanging, and they will squish like hell if they run into something. I like to think of these bits of fat as big ol' ovals that squash and stretch depending on if there's an obstacle in their way or not

These are the important shapes to remember when it comes to the weightiness of fat! If you take all of this into mind, you should be getting something a lot closer to that shape you've been after!

Oh, and always remember that fat bodies come in all variety of shapes and sizes! Play around with a whole lot, and seek out all the resources you can! it'll really lend to your knowledge when it comes to this kinda stuff!

And as I always recommend when it comes to learning art- look at what your favorite artists do with fat bodies. See what you really like about the fat bodies they draw and try to replicate it in your own work, I promise you it's one of the most helpful things ever.

This is like the most basic of basics when it comes to drawing fat bodies though. If there's any additional thing about fat bodies, or maybe you want clarification on something, don't be afraid to ask! If there's enough to cover, I'll make an addition to this post!

I've never heard of a haunt/anchor AU before, if you're interested it would be lovely to hear you explain it or tell where I could learn more about it 👉👈🥺

this really came about from a number of my favorite tropes (supernatural + power couple + hurt/comfort) so the au isn’t super concrete nor does it have a name…

i’m sure a similar concept exists out there somewhere but for the rundown here:

[just-null]

Do you ever do requests? If so, do you ever plan on drawing some Yandere with the Hantengu clones? :D hope you have a good day/night!!!

Mentioning an unfamiliar name

yes!! I love yanderes.. and these guys.. these guys are such good material...... nods nods..

I'm not sure about requests..I assume you mean drawing requests? I suppose if it REALLY catches my interest enough, I'd do it, but it'd probably just be line art/sketches.

It's difficult for you to say aloud, I know, so I won't ask you to. Rather, I would ask you to consider a proposal. Stay on permanently.
