#i keep seeing people drawing masc characters in dresses just for fun or for them to try out other clothes and then suddenly everyone is

[owl-bones]

people will say clothes have no gender until they see a guy in a dress and then they can't help but misgender him

[babybinko]

My second batch of venture bros genderbends are finally done! :D [first set here]

PLEASE LOOK UNDER THE CUT!!! I made all these nice drawings and doodles of them and I want people to see them without this post being super long! :') [My thoughts on the designs and doodles will be under the cut as well]

Okay NOW I'm going talk about my thought process on some of these:

Baby Rusty: I love the baby Rusty, the frilly socks and sleeves were a must. I actually drew her with the original set of genderbends but I turned off her layer and forgot about her 💀

Jonas Jr: not much to say about her, I tried to make her like Rosie the Riveter. Her little bandana has the Venture logo on it :)

Jonas Sr: I wanted her to be a hot bitch, her outfit is maybe a little scandalous for the time era they were in but I think it fits, canon Jonas is a whore. I think everybody would want her and that every celebrity, politician, and anybody with any power would chase after her so badly.

Blue Morpho: I made her so incredibly slay. I fucking love her outfit, I found the inspo for the outfit on Pinterest but I changed it up a bit. Also her gun has the bayonetta butterfly wings on it as a charm because I HAD TO.

Colonel Gentleman: Not a lot to say, I wanted to give her like horse riding esque boots and I gave her a purple flower cause she likes the ladies. I know generally WLW flowers are Violets and Lavender but I wanted to draw a rose so, Purple rose compromise <3

Dr.Boyfriend 2: With my last round Dr.Boyfriend was the only one people had complaints with. I think people wished he was more Masculine and I agree but if I switched up the design too much it wouldn't look like Dr.Girlfriend. I hope giving him armor and making him look like a knight helped him look more masc. I made the sheer wings cross over his chest to make it look like it was holding up the shoulder armor. Also his guild book is insanely high quality because I was procrastinating drawing his armor.

Goofy and Goober (Watch and Ward): I think they ended up really cute, I tried to make their hair colors close to Doc and Jacksons since I heard they are supposed to be like their "main" self inserts. With Ward I had a really specific idea for her hair, I kept thinking about this haircut from my sims and had to do it. It might be hard to see but her ponytail holders have skull charms on them. I also purposely gave them both some sort of ponytail hairstyle so they would match but be slightly different :) (They are absolutely prank calling or trolling their clients on that phone btw)

Shoreleave: OH MY GOD I LOVE SHORELEAVE. I kept turning her folder back on just to keep looking at her when I was drawing the other characters. She is so captivating to me, she looks so soft and human. I want to take a bite out of her thigh. My biggest inspo for her was Cammy from Street Fighter, I felt like her dressing a bit skimpy works for her since canon Shoreleave kinda does. The girls out for the girls.

Alchemist: I love her design so much too. I wanted her to look like some kind of nun or priestess. She looks like if a Zelda fire temple was a person. I kinda gave her like a weird little hime cut under the hood. Also I put the Triad logo on all three of their designs (+ Triana).

Jefferson: Had a lot of fun with her, I didnt change her design much from canon though so there's not much to say. I did give her more flared pants though. Drawing her hair was a really fun change of pace, I very rarely get to draw textured hair.

College Rusty and Monarch Drawing: I love this one, Monarch turned out so hot dude. You can tell what character I like more LMFAO. I made rusty very obnoxious 80s while keeping the colors of the original college rusty outfit. Monarch kind of looks like postal dude but its fine because shes slay.

Hereditary Venture Family Dinner Drawing: This was one of the first drawings I started but the second to last one I finished. I wanted to draw the family doing something together but I think I really truly just wanted to draw Dermott again. 😭 Nobody has said anything if they noticed but I did give hatred the shirt from these edits. (I believe the one on the left is from reddit and the one on the right is by SquashFold on Twitter)

Dermott piercing Dean's ears drawing: Even though its messy its in the top 3 favorites I did, It was also the last one I did. I just love the idea of Dermott giving goth Dean at home ear piercings. At first I didn't know if I wanted to make Dermott giving her piercings at the mall where she works or at home but the mall idea was too much work for a last minute sketch. Dermott is so mean older sister who shoplifts and works at the mall.

Drug bathroom drawing: Another one of my favorites, its based off a specific deleted scene from Invisible Hand of Fate where Pete and Rusty talk at the bar but Pete comes out of the bathroom sniffling at the start. I love the way I drew Pete pushing the hair out of her face and both of their expressions.

Bdsm 21 drawing: Okay first of all, The little devil Monarch was so cute I was screaming, crying, and throwing up while drawing her. I fucking love her, shes the smallest part of the image but my favorite. I also am quite fond of the bdsm 21.

Quizgirls Pete and Billy: I tried looking up Vanna White dresses to base Pete's outfit off of but I couldn't find one that Pete would actually wear so I just had to make shit up. Billy's design is really basic but the bow in her hair is actually from one of my rejected main Billy genderbends.

Me and The Bestie: I put a lot of effort into this one for no reason. Literally the moment I saw Jonas in the problem machine I thought he should be made of like blue slime. When I was working on this I kept thinking about Momopatchi's Hatsune Microbe drawing so this Jonas was definitely inspired by that. I gave Jonas makeup because she was having a party movie night on gargantua and I felt like she would still have makeup on thats like completely fucked up and deteriorating on her face after many many years. Vendata's outfit was partially based on Marguerite Chapman's from Flight to Mars, never seen it but I was looking up old sci-fi movie costumes to work with and I thought it would look good :)

greetings and salutations, hope I don’t bother you too much by sending in such a random ask. may I please have a romantic matchup for scott pilgrim? if you’re feeling sassy maybe a character from the John doe, frost bite, sunny day jack, etc type games (does it even have a genre aside from horror/Yandere visual novels? Lmao)

I use they/he pronouns and I’m pansexual. my myers briggs type is INFJ and my star sign is taurus.

Im about 4’11..not to happy about it. I’m kind of introverted, and can be considered not a people person. I find life a little nihilistic. I’m into dressing in all black (trad, mopey, mall, black-metal, and hippie goth styles mainly, both fem and masc. chill days I settle for dark street wear. ) or and taking a liking to gruesome and morbid things like slashers, analog horror, witchcraft, true crime, ghost hunting, necromancy, anatomy, etc. I typically consider myself a "gorehound" ig. I participate in "Vulture Culture"; and I also like to visit abandoned places just for fun, along with playing quite a few escape rooms. I just have a genuine comfort in the uncomfortable.

I’ve come to the conclusion I just scare people off. In reality, I’m intimidated by everyone around me and find it hard to start talking, which may or may not come off as rude to people.

when I become comfortable with someone I start to become really sarcastic and joke around with them with witty banter. most of my humor comes off really insulting, and I’m brutally honest, but I’ll apologize and say it’s a joke or I didn’t mean it. though if I’m right a become a petty bitch..and quite honestly I’m vengeful to anyone who’s really wronged me. even though I do have a hard time understanding social cues.

lots of people don’t like me or stay away from me because of my rude behavior. I’m not good with overly sensitive or overly annoying people at all because of that, and I can’t stand kids. Idiocy can get on my nerves too sometimes. I’m a huge animal person though, and I own a herd of four guinea pigs that I protect with my life. I have my moments where I can get really feisty, or very quiet and closed off. I’ve been told I’m also a laidback person. I’ve also been told I never know when to quit, and I find I hold grudges for certain things. It’s not as common now but I used to get called a vampire by other kids when I was younger since I had oddly pointy canine teeth. I find it funny, seeing how I am today. I also have an inside joke with my family where they call me "Irl Wednesday Addams" which I find funny too (if not a little annoying at the wrong times).

I’m the type of person that has lots of opinions on things but I keep them to myself and bottle them up. If pushed far enough I’ll become unforgiving, and aggressive. especially with the types of people mentioned above.

I find the most comfort in just being in my room drawing, listening to music ( the cure, london after midnight, type o negative, deftones, slipknot, rob zombie,,,, sometimes melanie martinez , insane clown posse, jazmin bean or mother mother, etc. ), or even occasionally playing video games, reading, writing, or talking about a random conspiracy theory or shower thoughts I have. I also like to play D&D with my friends when I can, it’s super fun. I do acting in my spare time as a small hobby too, and I’m learning how to play electric guitar. I also work as a scare actor, and in the future I have a dream of being a theatrical actor.

I’m a plushie maniac and when I fall asleep you can always see me cuddled up to one of them. I find it because I’m really touch starved. I also have this specific blanket I can literally not sleep without. Im also a caffeine addict, and I’m guilty of being very submissive and maybe even masochistic- and a bit of a pyromaniac. I dissociate or daydream a lot, so you can often catch me starring.

I suffer from a handful off mental issues like asd, insomnia, depression and anxiety; plus chronic conditions like asthma and fibromyalgia. These have all been diagnosed professionally, and I’m definitely not trying to make myself "quirky". unfortunately health problems run in my family.

I’m very fidgety, and often bite the inside of my cheek or bounce my leg rapidly. you don’t need to rocmantasize this stuff ofc, but I think it’s good to know so the person can tolerate me.

you do get to this, thanks for your time. <3

that was certainly fun to read. ur a rlly cool dude. ANYWAYS MATCHUP TIME

ok so for the scott pilgrim matchup I narrowed it down to kim and ramona then eventually settled on ramona. both of you are more introverted so I see that well, as well as the more alternative semi similar styles that you have in common (both stealing each others clothes/accessories.) she’s not really sensitive either, so coming off as rude or sarcastic wouldn’t bother her, she’s kinda similar so she’d probably joke the same way too. basically twinflame uhhh match made.

now for the horror/yandere visual novels I’m thinking peter. I feel like you’d stand out to him because of your style (considering his old goth phase) and another thing that kinda stood out to me is your mbti which is infj and the same as the y/n in the game lol. other than that even though you can be seen as intimidating and brutal, he’s a literal slasher and confirmed masochist so I’d say match made.

also extra but you i totally recommend ‘The Loverman Killer’ it’s a short web comic kinda series that kinda lines up w your interests and it’s made by mortis fox.

Wedding Aesthetics: Mori

A/N: I was actually kind of going back and forth on whether or not to do this for Mori, since I know the fandom is pretty split on him, but I appreciate a good amoral character and thought what the heck, why not. I think Mori would want his wedding to be a serious affair, but still maintaining some level of fun and amusement. I think he likes darker colors and would choose a dark plum pallet, including maroons and purples, as his wedding colors. I also think he would be conventional in the ceremonial aspects and the flow of the event, while being more relaxed about the details or clothing. He'd go with traditional vows, the whole repeat after me spiel, but I wouldn't put it past Mori to interrupt the priest by starting the vows himself, or telling him to hurry up, much to the amusement of his S/O.

*************************************************

If his S/O is fem: He wouldn't care much about the whole white equals purity thing (he will have Elise in a white flower girl dress against her will), in fact he would probably prefer his lover in something dark with a high amount of sex appeal. He's older and isn't interested in putting on a front for the others around, he wants to see his S/O in something that will please him, so he can tell them how absolutely stunning they are. I think he would want his S/O something that still looks mature and sophisticated, tight fitting to hug her curves. That doesn't mean he doesn't also appreciate a dramatic flourish. A train that flows out around his S/O would be just enough drama without being over the top. I think he would also like her to be in a fabric that has a softer feel to it, like velvet so he has an excuse to keep his hands all over her.

If his S/O is masc: Again, I think he would like his S/O in a darker color, but not black, because that would likely be the color Mori himself would wear. He wouldn't mind the accent color of the suit being black, in fact he'd probably prefer it. I think Mori would try to do the inverse of each other for suit styles, if that makes sense. He would still like a soft texture, something that adds interest to the suit. Mori wouldn't consider smaller details on the suit because their his lover. They stand out fine on their own without any kind of meddling.

Mori & Elise's Clothing: Face it, this man and Elise are a package deal. She may just be his ability, but she is basically now his S/O's adoptive daughter. For himself, Mori would dress in black, with plum accents to match his S/O. I think Mori would stick to the usual style of suit that he wears when conducting Mafia business because he's established that it looks good on him, so why change it. For Elise, he'll want something as girlish and youthful as ever. He'll want her to look like a little angel at the wedding, even if she opposed vehemently. He'd stick to the ballgown silhouette for Elise and probably pair the look with white Mary Jane's. She might be able to talk him down from having all the ribbons and frills as a compromise so she can have something clean cut that she would like.

The Bouquet/Flower Basket: (I don't see Mori much caring to have boutonnieres as he likes the look of the suits the way they are) Mori would want the bouquet to be fairly simplistic. His S/O would be in something form fitting, so a bouquet that's too big would swallow them up. He'd like a darker colored bouquet and wouldn't give much thought to the meaning of the flowers as long as it flowed well with his S/O's attire. He also wouldn't mind the type of bouquet that uses lace and jewels instead of flowers if that is what his S/O wanted. Just so long as it doesn't draw all the attention from his S/O. The flower basket for Elise would be white to match her dress, with some of the plum accents that would tie into his S/O's clothing. He would pick out something extra girly for Elise, despite her best efforts to steer him towards something else. So lace and frills will always be in season to him.

The Rings: The rings are one part of the wedding that Mori actually planned long in advance. He would have picked up antique, vintage rings on one of his trips abroad to Europe. He likes the history behind getting an antique ring as well as how unique they are. He wouldn't stop until he found the one that reminded him of his S/O, scouring every antique and second-hand store he came across until he could get the perfect rings.

The Venue: Anywhere his S/O wants, he has the connections. He would only have his closest mafia members present at his wedding, the executives and a few subordinates that he has a vested interest in. Obviously, his S/O can have as much family and friends as they want, but he would prefer less. He would send an invitation to the ADA mockingly, but would be cordial to them if they actually decided to show up. So, all in all, it's not a large wedding. He wouldn't want a giant space with so few people. He would also probably make it a destination wedding in order to pare down his S/O's invite list. I think he would pick one of the small venues or villas in Italy as his first choice since there tends to be a lot of smaller wedding spaces and beautiful architecture and scenery. Chuuya may or may not have talked about the many draws of Italy for months during Mori's wedding planning, especially to his S/O while running security detail for them.

The Decorations: I think decor is where Mori's romantic side would actually come out. He's used to the tense atmosphere being in the Mafia creates, but he doesn't want his S/O to have to deal with that at their wedding. He would consult Kouyou to help create a soft, intimate atmosphere. Lots of candlelight, with everybody sitting together in close proximity. Simple decorations would help by not creating to much distance between guests, so everyone could have clear lines of sight to everyone else.

The Wedding Cake: Again, Mori won't see the point in a traditionally white cake and would think that a white cake is a little too boring. He would want a very simple cake however because it's just food, so having it in his wedding colors will ensure that it isn't a total snooze fest. I think he would like having the typical 3 tiers and some very simple, yet sophisticated design, but nothing intricate or overly-ornate.

After the Wedding: While everyone else is going to be spending the week in Italy as a vacation, Mori is actually going to whisk his S/O away across Europe. He doesn't want to spend all of their time as a newly married couple surrounded by other people. He'd take his S/O to all around Europe, anywhere that catches their fancy. He's got money to spend no matter where they decide to go. They can get ocean views along the cost, or hike in a mountain, walk along historic streets, try local cuisine and go shopping to their heart's content.
