#i mean this is a giant redesign anyway

[turbofanatic]

Hyrule's resting bitch face champion for three decades and counting.

@scopophobia-polaris asked for some more details on this silly guy and I needed to post the redesign of his scars so I'm gonna ramble!

General "rules" I am using for the Bad Moon AU:

-You cannot change the future. If you saw the future, it happens. Maybe not to you, but it happens. Time travel either involves splitting timelines, temporal loops (see the song of storms), or two extremely similar timelines that collapse together (a dumb child goes to the past to plant beans). What does this mean for Termina? OH GOD OH GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TINY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

-If you turn into something, you will never entirely turn back.

-Two opposing wishes on the Tri Force will really fuck things up. Also, it happened. Bad Moon is about dealing with the fallout.

Tiny has a series of magic scars from his various transformations. Most of them are benign or beneficial due to Farore's blessing and the Fierce Deity's Mask's intervention, but not all. Believe it or not, this is me nerfing him, because I'm getting rid of all the Terminian masks except for the FD's mask, which gets broken.

-From the Deku mask he has ivy vines. Most are centered along his spine. He uses them to hold stuff. If he sleeps in fertile soil they will grow into the ground and he leaves weird plants that are sort of beholden to him all over the place. Gross. Anyways, remember how the Hero's Shade is covered in ivy? The "missing" eye is also more or less a Deku scrub's pitlike eye now, granting him low-light but otherwise mediocre vision in that eye.

-From the Goron mask he is disturbingly strong now. Most of Farore's blessed are pretty strong to begin with and now he's got Darmani's strength on top of that. His teeth are continuously growing and need to be worn down by grinding them on each other (because he's missing a tooth from that facial scar those teeth are maloccluded and grow all weird). It's definitely inspired by wrathful deity artwork though. He's also extremely resistant to heat. He got the white hair and scales on his shoulders/knees/elbows from Darmani too. Guess what part of his magic scarring the Hero of Twilight inherits!

-From the Zora mask he has some extremely strong scales on his forearms that can be used to defend himself. He can also make nasty electrical shocks, is very resistant to electrocution, is an extremely good swimmer (nowhere near as good as Mikau though), and can hold his breath for twenty minutes easily. His toes are webbed too.

-From the Giant's mask his height just kinda varies. His "true" height is over seven feet tall but it can vary between about 6"/15cm in either direction. He has some control over this but it's more related to his sense of security. He's at his smallest when he's the most insecure but like, that's still 6'10"/208 cm so he's still way too big. Lucky for him the magic also affects his clothes/armor but it takes some time so he just makes/buys things on the larger end and waits for them to shrink to his current size. The effect goes away when removed from his body. Is this so I don't have to be consistent? Yes.

-He turns into a puppy in the War of Eras when he's ten and Zant uses the twilight as a weapon. Specifically an epicyon puppy! A 100lb/45kg puppy! Medli will ride him! I just want to draw the biggest puppy in the world. He can still turn into the big ancient wolf, and thankfully it doesn't do too much to him (unlike Twilink) but his jaw attaches waaay further back than it ought to and he can open his mouth to a scary degree. It's probably influencing those big fangs too. Combined with the Goron bite strength and... yeah.

I'll probably change things because I'm just playing around with him, so don't be surprised when I do!

IS THAT SOLOMON!?!? (REDESIGN)!!

SO! This redesign actually took me less than 15 hours! ლ(⌒▽⌒ლ) (Could that purely be because I design him so simply? Probably…)

BUT BESIDES THAT

If you couldn’t tell from my use of emoticons- It’s Panda again!!!! (cause it’s a joint account obvi~~) And I literally think that this redesign turned out pretty good. However the hair was pretty tricky (T-T*) (And I don’t even know if Solomon simps are down with long hair Solomon like I AM DOWN with long hair Solomon, but anyway…) Solomon is our most head-cannoned character (Believe it or not..) so be prepared for that yap. Yeah and I don’t know what else to say… so, ONTO THE GOODS!!!!! ヾ(^ ^ゞ

ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª ENJOY‼︎

·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ·͙*̩̩͙✧˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙- REDESIGN EXPLANATION -*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙☆ ˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙*̩̩̥͙ ✧‧͙ ˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

SO- Hello! with this design came a few changes that I’ll explain now! YES YES, anyhow the first change that I made was Solomon’s beautiful long majestic locks (>▽<)!! The reason he has long hair? Cause why not- but also because it makes him look more sly in my opinion! Moving to the outfit, since it seems he keeps it simple I just gave him wide arm sleeves with like constellations and stars on it like how it is on his jacket

So now basically bro just put his jacket on…..welp- NOW ONTO THE HEADCANONS

·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ·͙*̩̩͙✧˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙- HEADCANONS -*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙☆ ˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙*̩̩̥͙ ✧‧͙ ˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

So the headcanon section will be in a different format since it’s borderlining an au… (oops! σ(*´∀｀*)). And there’s a lot! So let us know if you want to hear some of our head canons ✨in-depth✨~ and more of them.

GIANT FYI OUR SOLOMON IS DEFO INSPIRED BY THE BIBLE SOLOMON SO BEAR THAT IN MIND!!!!!(Because I’m putting my catholic knowledge to use ✧ദ്ദി( ˶^ᗜ^˶ ))

-Solomon is pasty because of how long he’s lived so his body has stop producing melanin(Is that how it works? Idk but no way bro can be from Jerusalem and that pale so…¯\(ツ)/¯)

-Tattoos| bro is Tatted up from the neck down just absolutely covered. Why? Because he has something something pacts and is a wh*re for a new tool to use.

- Bro is messed up in the head | okay bro has lived wayyyyy to old to not be a little ill. I think to a certain extent bro lacks compassion and empathy and things, and doesn’t really realize fully how much of his humanity he lost…….(Me personally I wouldn’t take that L but y’know) Also just because he doesn’t age doesn’t mean his brain is doing good and I’m sure bro doesn’t remember plenty of things.

-Bro doesn’t know what to do with himself | I think bro has a really big brain cage but sometimes it’s just the DVD symbol bouncing around. Like bro will try to rizz Mc with the weirdest pickup line known to man then be confused when he gets a side-eye. There is no way bro doesn’t act like an npc sometimes. Like there’s so many things he can’t really experience anymore because of his immortality, which makes him scary .. ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

-Bro is shady… | Idk don’t know bout ya’ll but I did not trust this man the first time he pulled up in the game. Like “Yeah I just transported to hell and now I’m surrounded by demons, but my real fear is the other “human” student here”. Like bro just gives off mass-manipulatior vibes. Like Hannibal making Mason eat his own nose type manipulation( If you get that reference I’ll kiss you （￣ε￣ʃƪ）) Like if I’m being honest I don’t trust bro as far as I can throw him. (No shade to my bro ski though😫✌️)

Okayyyy! that’s all I have to say for you today pookies~ Thank you for reading!!!!!

When I say I will do my baby girl justice, I MEAN I will do her justice, and that starts with a redesign!

After Meliodas, it’s only natural to do Elizabeth. I had a lot of thoughts about what to do with her, because her previous waitress outfit was just not a vibe; gratuitous fanservice aside, those shirt ruffles were atrocious and the bright pink was kind of an eyesore. So I decided to take a bit of inspiration from her co-owner outfit and gave her a button up, a slightly longer skirt, actually matching shoes and another stocking for symmetry, and gave her a little bow to tie her hair back in! A little better suited for waitressing and travelling while still sticking to the same idea. Also a little more dignified for a princess.

I always think it’s a bit weird when a character’s eye is constantly covered and there’s no real reason for it, especially since it didn’t seem like there was anything up with Elizabeth’s eye in season 1 until she awakened her Goddess powers. So I decided to give her partial blindness in that eye, carried over from my plan for Liz who was fully blind in that eye due to an injury. Retaining scars from past lives and all that. Also gives her a little bit of a better reason to be clumsy rather than it just being for the “cutesy moe fanservice just because” gag. Clumsy ain’t sexy no matter what Lucky Star says.

Our girl deserves to be adorable and thus she shall be. I’ve always thought Elizabeth has some of the best outfits in the series but her main one at the tavern just wasn’t a vibe.

Obviously it’s not illustrated here, but I also plan some minor changes to Elizabeth’s arc and character—I absolutely adored her in season 1, eager to help however she can and prove herself worthy of the Sins’ aid (even though she didn’t need to) and I want that reflected more. You telling me this girl wouldn’t ask Ban to teach her how to stab someone just in case she needs to defend herself and none of them are around? After she tried to take King’s giant war spear to go stab someone herself? After she ripped the hypnotic bell off of Ruin’s staff with her TEETH and SMIRKED at him when she did? You are incorrect, because I know in my heart of hearts she would.

Anyway, that’s all on Elizabeth for now. I’m sure I’ll be back relatively soon with more!

I haven't seen your oc's yet! Who are they, do they have reffs? 👀 How many do you have?

RAAAAAAAGH MY OCS MY BELOVED BELOVED PRECIOUS LITTLE GEMS

yeah I have a few there and there, plan on making more sometime

first we have pallea whom I desperatley need to draw more since shes one of my faves and she gonna stick around the most, Im gonna be honest prepare to see more of her, she's a bit of a trickster, always trying to get on everyones nerves and only geniuenly succeding on mickey, they have a bit going on between them and like I said I need to post more abt my girl TOT

pallea my beloved, also just throwing it out there, I did NOT name her after pellea the dish I did not even know that existed before making her I remember I was naming her the same way I name alot of my ocs when they dont have irl names and I just took two words and smashed them together, I also wanted a character to have word PAL in the name for puns, I didn NOT name her after the food TOT

then we have my another very beloved oc RAMONA LOSALL

when it comes to her I accualy don't wanna post too much abt her bc shes exclusive for a project I am not even NEAR touching anytime soon simply to not work on whole 4 big projects at the same time like that would just straight up kill me lmao, but she beasictly starts out as a femme fatale untill it turns out shes as good of a detective as mickey and the two of them get into some cases together

designing her was really fun and I am SO proud of how she turned out, I've been meaning to draw more characters in the rubberhose style that fits in with mickey and others that does have more unique features since I am one of the very few people who accualy do mind the same face on every mouse character that isnt just a big snout, shes got much much smaller and in head ears, her eyes are highlighted and big also her pupils are square and my fav her snout is in a diff shape its curved up and goes more thin as it ends that is that one design i am SO proud of omg

also fun fact, she accualy started out as a redesign of ingrid from old mickey comics but writing just kept going and going and redesign was redesigning

then we have "elenor"e exe.24 who guess what were just calling elenore, I don't have that much drawings of her and I NEED to redesign her...again bc I dont like how her body turned out as in its not rubberhose enough imo

ofc my art doesnt do full on noodle hands and thin arms and legs and stuff but it never went on the level where I was like "hm looks like my normal human build" untill it came to drawing her, the issue with the rubberhose style is that you will have just awful time while trying to design a curvy character , anyways shes a robot and I can see that you can see that shes inspired by mimi the pin up girl like shes in the photo i can see that you see but ye just like ramona she started out as a redesign of an already existing character in this case mimi and things got out of hand again, she's apart of the "neon city" and works in the entertainer industry [while activley fucking up the entire system when no ones looking]

then we have amelia who's in something im accualy working on right now so im not gonna tell you much abt her character and will more focus on her design

shes a weasel! her design was my attempt at using shape language more in my art witch i think you can obviously see since shes beasicly a one giant triangle with soft outsides, I tried my best to give her light colors that don't melt together too much and Hopefuly succeded TOT

but I can tell you she would either instantly choke sylvester shyster to death or would sing him lullabies to bed and theres no inbetween

ignore my minor highlighting mistake

making this post made me realize I have no drawing of the bear workers outside of this witch makes me heartbroken im so sorry, but long story short there construction workers who ended up working for sylvester while hoping someone litellary anyone else is willing to hire them so they can leave that weird rat man alone and behind them

[thats just one of them but theres arounf 6 and there all diffrent types of bears I just have the bear one down like I said I need to draw more of them omg]

I have few more but I just don't have their drawing on my laptop and also there not as important as the ones above and I don't have as much to say abt them since there still in baking stage

Exept Riots/roxane shes still being baked despite having a design for like few months by now, I don't have much to say abt her exept the fact im also proud of her design I just like it alot and wanna show off despite bad quality

but THANK YOU SM FOR THE ASK OH MY GOD I'VE NEVER BEEN ASKED ABOUT MY OCS BEFORE AAHHHH THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3

What if I just like make redesigns of characters from Dragon Ball but with more inherent mythological connections?

Like it'd be pretty cool to have an entire race of characters be effectively pyrokinetic battle boner bonobos ye?

I can just go absolutely fucking ham with the anthropology and the speculative genetics

Like the whole thing of S cells being a naturally occurring thing in the world, and humans and seemingly just "things on earth" specifically have the ability to transform, it's just they don't have the active prerequisite to do so.

It's like having an appendix. because like it's there, but you don't have the things anymore that make that thing do anything so it's effectively useless. At least until introduced to a completely foreign concept you would never consider being something that needed to be worked with, ie s cells.

We do have a concept that the S cells just weren't a thing until the saiyans showed up, possibly all the way back at Goku's pod. Like some "protozoa on meteor that crash landed on Earth back when there wasn't any conscious life" kind of adding to the gene pool

So these ants get S cells and can transform, just like we see humans becoming increasingly stronger hybrids the more they have kids with saiyans, more introduction to a material, whatever chemically makes up an S cell, then introduce it to a system that can actually properly utilize it that had, which through means that I'm researching now I think, cuz other people who have more information than anything, giant grade ape forms were a curse from the demon realm

Hence the pointy ears despite Saiyans having rounded ears and the uncontrollability. Saiyans are just that fucking stubborn they found a way to anyway.

making character sprites as a one-person indie game developer

(huh. turns out this post on cohost didnt have a “read me” section”. o well. i will put the read me section Here,  before any of da actual text. click it if u dare !!)

so, i've been meaning on making a Big post talkin all about how i actually Make my games and my processes n such ,but also ive been procrastinating on making it for so long that i thought i might as well just make One part of that post now .. and its about making the Character Sprites for my games .

So. these images are the (mostly) full sprite sheets of the three characters from my game UNITRES Dreams, taken directly from the big giant 'charactersprites.png' image that i used for nearly every sprite for Most of the game's development. some quick things to make note of: First off, Trees (the first one) was one of the earliest things i made for the game, and had their sprite sheet redone Twice since then.. this first picture doesnt contain the latest sprite sheet as the new sprites were done on aesprite and im too lazy to make a sprite sheet out of them right now.

Secondly, the Second character (the pink one), had two different designs, being completely redesigned as i didnt like their first design all too much. their redesign's animations was done in aesprite, but i made a sprite sheet out of em before so i was able to just put them here. Lastly, the Third character (the blue one with the big silly hat) remained mostly unchanged as their original sprites and design were pretty good, but they needed to be cleaned up and given better colors so i ended up polishing all of their sprites.

Anyways. it's going to be hard for me to explain my actual process, as i am Bad With Words, but i will try my best.. So. for Most of my time as a game dev, I've used Paint.NET for Everything. This includes backgrounds, tilesets, and every animation ever in all of my games. For my character sprites specifically, i usually start with making the color palette (which is a whole different process where i mess around with the RGB values until i get a specific color that i think looks pretty ... its hard to describe). When making a new character, i usaully start with an Idle animation, just so i have a good base to make all the other sprites on. I just make a sketch of the character, then i do the flat colors (as my games dont have line art), and once i have the colors i start doing the rendering , where i try to pull off a sort of Sonic CD-esque , celshaded style while Also including a bit of anti-aliasing and other modern pixel art techniques to give the sprites more Depth and make them look Sharp. Idk. it's hard to describe my process in words ... i Did make a video Years ago showing off my process, but its old and my editing in that video isnt the Greatest.

So., that's my process Lol . the only thing thats really changed is that Now i use Aesprite for making the Actual Animations , as making animations with Paint.NET is Really Difficult and Annoying , as i have No Idea how the animation will Look until it actually appears ingame .. which results in the early versions of each character's animations looking a little weird (such as Trees' first two versions, the first version of the Pink character, and the Blue character's animations.. .though the blue character isnt as bad as the other two and i kept their animations mostly the same in the final game LOL).

Something that people have kind of criticized about UNITRES Dreams' animations is that some of em dont exactly ... Look Good. a lot of animations are pretty Inconsistent , with characters like Trees having inconsistent sizes in some animations and the movement in animations such as the Pink character's walking animation and various other animations (Especially the ones made in Paint.NET) looking Unnatural.

And Well .. here's the thing about making animations and sprites for something like this. When you're the Main person making an indie game, you have Tons of different parts of the game that need to be worked on while having Very little time to work on others. On Top of making every single animation for UNITRES , i had to make every single Tileset and background for every single level, On Top of making the Level Layouts , Programming , and even making sprites for things like the UI. And you have to constantly Test the game to make sure everything works and things Look good.

So. i had very little time to work on the sprites, and i Knew this. Something you have to consider is that, not only are you making the animations for the main character , you Also have to make Tons of animations and sprites for Literally Every Other Aspect of The Game . this includes Enemies , Level Gimmicks , NPCs, And the UI .. so you end up having to work on Thousands of sprites by yourself in such a short time.

I ain't the best animator , nor the best sprite artist . But , for this game I chose an art style which is Kinda simple and comfortable for me, which made making things like tilesets and backgrounds so much easier for me. The character sprites specificially only use a few amount of colors ,but also i tried my best to give them as much depth and make them as Colorful looking as i could. Also , something you might notice is that all of the playable characters dont actually have a whole lot of animations .. each of the characters only have the Exact amount of frames and animations necessary for them to Look Good moving around the levels. Aside from a few Gimmick Specific animations that arent in the sprite sheets i posted , there arent many Extra animations or animations with Tons of Frames that i wish i could have added .. and it Kind Of Sucks . Having to split my time across Three Different Characters , i had no time to make any animations Too Crazy or Too Smooth , and i couldnt include any extra animations that could add a bit of personality to the characters ... In Fact ,the Idle "animation" isnt an animation , its just a still frame. I didnt have time to even make a simple waiting animation !!

It Is What It Is. For what its worth , Ithink Im pretty proud of the animations i did for UNITRES Dreams. while i think ive become a much better artist and animator since then, i still think some animations and some of the frames look really good ..just looking at some of the still frames is really nice .. so i think i did a good job, especially for a game that was made in 2 years and is Free. And Hey, while the animations in UNITRES Dreams may not be the best or have the most smooth animations , i Did get to experiment with making more smooth animations for TREES' ADVENTURE. while ,now, i think some stuff could use some work, i am Really Proud of how some of the animations look .. ididnt get to make Too Many extra animations (there still isnt even an Idle animation), i Did get to make some cool extra animations , such as individual animations for your Jump that are based on how fast you're moving . (the original post on cohost had a buncha gifs of da animations but im Too Fuckin Tired 2 post em here LOL !!!)

So Yea . the moral of the story: making video games is kind of hard and time consuming , Especially when you're like , the Only one working on them. just make sure to plan ahead and try not to overwork urself .. make what you can and do it when you can. Thats what i think , anyways.

Hi I need somewhere to be a cringe loser and this is The cringe loser website (affectionate)

It’s poppy playtime hours in the haunted halls of my brain so that’s what this post shall be about

Ms paint Dogday doodle for ur troubles (definitely not to lure you into reading my bullshit and there definitely Won’t be a catnap doodle at the end wink wink (there will be)

☀️I love Dogday with my whole heart. He’s so good and cool and I wanna throw him around like a rag doll. However. I kinda despise seeing ppl be horny an about him. This is bcuz Dogday is like a dad to me (personal headcannon: they used an adult for the bigger bodies dogday. This headcannon does not conflict with cannon because as far as I know the only bigger bodies we know the past life of (other than mommy long legs)

What do you mean “he’s so baby girl” that’s my DAD

Obviously I’m not like. Mad at ppl who think he’s hot it’s just funny to complain about people being into a character I view as a father figure. Makes me feel like the child of a single parent watching someone flirt with said parent.

🌙this also goes for catnap, except instead of seeing him as a dad I see him as a brother. My giant cat sibling. He just needs some love and care, a good bath, lots of food. I also think ppl who are horny abt catnap are weird cuz the only canonical age were given for him is 8 years old. Which, yeah, you could theoretically he’s “aged” but I don’t think it counts. He didn’t get the chance to develop enough for any of That to be even slightly appropriate.

Also I should mention if u ship the bigger bodies versions of catnap and dogday I think ur a creep weirdo who should log off of the internet for forever and get therapy. If u ship the CARTOON versions of them and AREN’T WEIRD ABOUT IT then that’s fine, I don’t ship any of the smiling critters but as long as ur not being a creep (aka being horny abt them cuz I’m pretty sure the cartoon smiling critters are supposed to be children) then i don’t rlly care.

(Love how I’m talking as if people are gonna see this and Actually interact lmaoo)

Anyways here’s ur ms paint doodle of catnap as promise (also fun fact the doodles I’ve shown here are based on my redesigns of catnap and dogday respectively. Ironically they’re not 100% accurate to said redesigns cuz I was a dumbass and didn’t bother looking at my references) but yeah thanks for reading my post

Also idk if it’s obvious yet but proshippers and other such weirdos do NOT fucking interact

SP Special Containment part 2 Human Weapons Whumpee.

Whumpee watched the door for most of the morning. They were nervous but also curious about what was coming soon.

They dumped any remaining cookie crumbs into their mouth from the pouch Caretaker had left during breakfast.

"My trainer would be beating me senseless with all of these cookies", they whispered to themself.

They eyed the camera that pointed at their bed. It was nothing new. They always had a camera pointed at them. They were a deadly weapon, they understood that.

The buzzer to the door brought Whumpee back to attention, they glanced at the clock. It wasn't time yet.

Whumpee found themself wanting to crawl under the bed but too afraid to move. They were not ready for this.

Caretaker walked in with the wheelchair. It was specifically made to hold down the human weapons, redesigned for them specifically.

"Okay Whumpee, we are doing this on your time", Caretaker shut the door and pushed the chair to the middle of the room, "I'm early to give you time to get use to this thing. You can investigate it all you want, feel around. I'll sit over here. Just let me know when you're ready."

Whumpee stared at it, "I'm a human weapon, why am I afraid of this thing", they complained.

Caretaker sat down, "well you might be a weapon, but you're still human. We all have fears and limitations. As to the why, we haven't gotten that far in your therapy", Caretaker pulled out a giant cookie, "chef made this special for you."

Whumpee quickly got up to retrieve the cookie. They made a giant circle around the chair to get back to their bed.

"Caretaker, why do you always tell me that you are working on my time, what does that mean?", Whumpee quickly unwrapped the cookie.

Caretaker thought for a way to explain, "well, I believe most of your life has been decided for you by people with wrong intentions, and even now, decisions are being made for you. I want to give you some control back. Even if it's as simple as time. I know being strapped down makes you uncomfortable, so if I can get you use to something before it has to happen, then we can do it that way."

"Sounds like a waste of your time though sir", Whumpee looked up from the cookie.

"Trust me, I don't have much else to do anyways", Caretaker smiled, "you and your comfort are my top priority, the other things can wait. I'm sure my director doesn't like that fact though", he laughed lightly.

Whumpee thought for a second, then forced themself to get up and walk towards the chair. They apprehensively felt it a few times, then pulled on the straps. Whumpee eyed Caretaker, then climbed up on the seat and gave the strap another pull, this time using all of their strength. No budge.

"Dang", Whumpee jumped down, then shook the chair violently, "that is almost indestructible."

"It was created with you guys in mind", Caretaker smiled as Whumpee continued to fight the chair.

"How many of us are here?", Whumpee looked up.

"There are currently three", Caretaker watched as Whumpee shook the chair again, "the others were transferred to other containment sights."

"Oh", Whumpee sat in the chair, and took a breath, "what are we doing today exactly?"

"First you need a check up by the doctors, so that happens around eleven. The doctor has given you a full hour, so we can be on your time. Next, we can go to the cafeteria, depending on how you are feeling we can eat there or come back here. If we eat at the cafeteria we can tour the facility a little if you like", Caretaker looked at Whumpee, "I'll be with you the entire time."

Whumpee breathed again, and looked at the clock, "can we start the straps, but slowly."

Caretaker stood, "yes we can go as slowly as you like, just tell me when you need a pause or anything."

Whumpee scooted back into the chair.

Caretaker started with their feet. Then strapped in the legs.

"Feeling okay?", Caretaker looked up.

Whumpee made a face but nodded.

"Take a few breaths, remember this is on your time, we can rest", Caretaker watched.

"I'm okay, you might want to do my hands and arms next and quickly. I might lose control of my reflexes and accidentally punch you. I don't want to do that, I promise", Whumpee gripped the chair, "I'm ready."

Caretaker quickly strapped Whumpee's arms and hands down.

"Okay are we doing okay", Caretaker eyed Whumpee again.

"I need a minute, I'm blacking out. Stand back", Whumpee banged their head back against the chair, and thrashed.

A guard ran in holding a sedation dart and rifle.

"Stop, we are not using that yet", Caretaker watched Whumpee, "give them a minute."

"They aren't fully strapped in yet, this is dangerous", the guard paused.

"Then be ready, but do not use it unless I say so. This room is built to hold them, and guards will rush to aid us if necessary", Caretaker frowned, "they gave me a warning before this started, I'm going to trust them."

Whumpee gave one more jolt, but paused.

"Strap in the rest quickly, I felt the bindings give", Whumpee cried out, "another one is coming."

The guard and Caretaker rushed to do the straps.

Caretaker kept an eye on Whumpee and noticed them gritting their teeth, their eyes started to roll back. Caretaker quickly pulled the guard back as Whumpee started to thrash.

"Thankyou", the guard looked at Caretaker wide eyed.

"You're welcome", Caretaker frowned as Whumpee fought the bindings, "you've got to watch them. I knew they would have a hard time with this, I wasn't sure how hard though."

"Are you sure about the sedation, it will make transport easier", the guard reached for the dart and gun.

"No. Easy has never been my style, I'm doing this on their time, if they need to get this out of their system, then I will let them", Caretaker sighed, "they are talking to us, and trying to fight this. I want to see where this leads."

Whumpee stopped thrashing, and their head fell forward. They panted heavily.

"Man this chair is strong", Whumpee finally sighed.

"Are you good?", the guard hid the gun and dart.

"Don't bother hiding it", Whumpee looked up slowly, "I can hear really well even in that state."

"What even happens when you do that?", the guard watched Caretaker walk to Whumpee, "Sir what are you doing?"

"They're talking to us and not thrashing, I have to show I trust them as much as they are trusting me", Caretaker started to move some of the restraints, "you've rubbed yourself raw."

"I'm okay", Whumpee sighed, "that mode is called survival, my body is reacting to the stress it's feeling to give me adrenalin to get out of a situation. I can easily kill someone if they get in my way."

"Are you okay, do you feel better?", Caretaker buckled the last strap, "we almost had you completely done."

"What about the head straps?", the guard frowned.

"I'm not doing those unless we need to", Caretaker smiled at the guard, "Whumpee are you ready to try this?"

"Sir?", the guard questioned again.

"I'm ready", Whumpee grinned at the guard.

"Why are you smiling?", the guard looked at Whumpee concerned.

"For crying out loud, beep us out", Caretaker stated in annoyance, "just trust me."

Whumpee's head was on a swivel looking at everything and everyone. They even smiled at Bobbie as they rolled by.

Bobbie walked with Caretaker for a few feet, and talked with them both.

Whumpee sighed when they entered the clinic and saw the doctor. They had done this a million times with their trainer, it had become routine. They just zoned out to let the doctor do what needed to be done. They were even able to get back in the chair with no issues.

Caretaker took them around some of the facility on their way to the cafeteria.

These are the showers, we can get you cleaned one of these days, it doesn't need to be done yet though.

Caretaker did not notice Whumpee zone out. The showers brought back memories of their trainer spraying them down with a powerful hose to clean or punish them.

Inside of the cafeteria Whumpee was watched by some guards while Caretaker got them food. Whumpee was trying to get out of their head, the showers were still bothering them. They needed Caretaker now, they knew he'd understand and help.

Caretaker sat down.

"Whumpee are you okay?" Caretaker noticed instantly.

"No, I'm about to go out again", Whumpee gritted their teeth.

"Shit", Caretaker rushed to scoot the chair back and lock it into place.

"Attention staff, Human Weapon is about to go into panic mode, requesting guard assistance to be on standby", Caretaker announced.

Whumpee screamed and started to thrash.

A guard ran up, ready to shoot a tranquilizer, "stand asside sir."

"I requested standby, they had one earlier, but we are not in their room. You are just in case the chair doesn't hold", Caretaker stopped them, then looked at the surrounding crowd. "I need everyone to back up. They can kill if cornered. Let us do our jobs."

Another guard ran up, "should we move them?"

"No, if they are mobile it's more dangerous. They need to stay put until this passes", Caretaker sighed.

Caretaker's director came in, "give them the sedation, we can't chance it."

"No", Caretaker argued.

"I'm sorry Caretaker, we have to for safety precautions", the director patted Caretaker on the shoulder, "they will be okay, but we can't let them do this out here."

A guard raised their gun at Whumpee.

Whumpee looked up and screamed.

The sound of air being released as the dart exited the gun was the only thing heard. Everyone had hushed for the situation.

"Standby, they may need another", the director watched.

A few minutes passed, the sedative only slowed Whumpee down.

Caretaker turned when the gun was loaded and aimed again. They couldn't leave Whumpee, but they couldn't watch either.

Whumpee's head fell forward a few minutes after the second dart ran its course. The director pulled out their stethoscope and listened to Whumpee's heart.

"Okay, let's move", the director commanded.

Caretaker took charge of the chair, and followed the director out. Two guards walked aside Whumpee.

They entered Whumpee's room and worked to unstrap them. The director lifted Whumpee and laid them in the bed, he listened one more time with the stethoscope.

"I'm sorry", they whispered to Whumpee, "their heart rate is good, just continue to monitor."

Caretaker followed them out with the wheelchair, they gave one last glance to Whumpee before the door closed.

"I'm sorry Caretaker, I know you have a lot of hope for them, and I strongly believe you are a great fit for this case, I'm was glad when you requested to take it on", the director apologized, "I didn't want to do that, but that would have been a lot of paperwork had they gotten lose in the cafeteria, those wheelchairs are still in beginning phases, although they do seem to be doing well, I don't trust them yet."

Caretaker nodded, "I appreciate it", Caretaker sighed how long do I have to wait before I go in with them?"

"Let them wake up and get their bearings. I highly doubt they will attack you. Just let them wake up, that's all I ask", the director started to leave, "I highly doubt you would listen to me if I said anything else."

Caretaker hovered the monitors, waiting to see Whumpee wake up.

Finally movement.

Whumpee startled awake, they quickly looked around.

"What happened?", they reached for their head, they had a raging headache.

They scooted to the side of the bed and started to stand.

"Whumpee don't try to stand up yet, you were hit with two heavy sedation darts, your body might not be ready to stand", a voice sounded from the speakers.

Whumpee held their aching head, "so loud", they complained.

They stood up, but their legs instantly buckled, they collapsed to the floor.

Whumpee hit their fist against the floor and groaned. They roled onto their back with a sigh.

The buzzer sounded, and Caretaker ran in. They went right to Whumpee's side and started to lift them to the bed.

Caretaker kneeled beside them.

"Caretaker you shouldn't be that close, you don't know how they will react to you while still under the sedative", the voice on the speaker sounded again.

Whumpee plugged their ears, "too loud, it... my head."

"Shut up", Caretaker finally stated, "they've got a headache, request Ibuprofen from the on call doctor per me."

"Yes sir", the voice came over one more time.

"Whumpee what happened?", Caretaker looked back at Whumpee.

"Th-the showers", Whumpee closed their eyes, "the trainers use to spray us down with powerful hoses, either to clean or to punish us."

Caretaker looked at them sadly, "I'm sorry I wish I had known that. I'm sorry that you had to experience all of this."

"It's okay, it won't be the first time", Whumpee sighed, "I don't even know when I will black out, I dont know what will trigger it."

The buzzer sounded, and a reluctant guard entered, carrying medicine, water, and a pack of cookies.

"Okay let's get this medicine in you, then you can eat the cookies. It is almost dinner time", Caretaker took all of the stuff.

The guard hurried out of the room.

"It's so hard to get good help", Caretaker sighed, "leave the old man with the dangerous weapon."

Whumpee smirked, and looked at Caretaker.

"What are you going to do with me then?", Whumpee questioned.

"I will continue your care, and we will deal with whatever comes, when it comes", Caretaker opened the package of cookies, "we will work on your time."

Mashiaro was considered the crowning achievement for the Alchemist when he created the HyperForce. A giant robotic shell that would work as means of giving the HyperForce extra muscle when going up against bigger threats. Though, wanting to be sure the monkeys showed the machine respect, he gave it a name.

"It's alive just like you are. It is through you six he comes alive. He is the symbol of your unity."

Well this has been a long time coming. This robot has kind of been hanging over my head for awhile to redesign and well... due to recent events in where Storm is in the writing process it was high time I finally drew the darn thing so here we are. 

I’ll admit it, mecha is NOT my strong suit. But it’s not going to stop me from trying to get better at it. So, let Mashiaro be my step in the right direction. 

Ho. BOY. I went full ham on just starting from scratch on this one. In the show, the blocky robot design works but with the story of ReIgnition it called for something a bit more... bad ace. So we get this design.

I drew a lot of inspiration from various Power Ranger zords, Voltron: Legendary Defender and the Great Spirit Robot from Bionicle. I did my best to make sense of how all the vehicles hook up to each other and how they separate though had to kind of just let “rule of cool” sort of set in with some aspects. 

Overall I am very pleased with my giant monkey mecha. I’m still gonna work at the design since I do think it need some tweaks but this is my jumping off point to get the ideal look and provide Storm a reference for the scenes she’s working on. 

Oh and before anyone asks, the robot itself is just a fighting machine. The home base in ReIgintion is its own separate entity. This helped a lot in not driving me nuts on designing mashiaro here. Cause I did not want to have to account for a house as well. 8′D Even the canon robot I can’t even begin to imagine how the base works. 

Anyways, hope you enjoy!

May I have a knight and princess cookie fan child :>

Alright, here you go, this is Dame Cookie

So full disclosure, I don’t know what gender Dame Cookie is. My three ideas are that Dame’s a guy that likes to wear dresses, non binary, or a trans woman. All I know is that Dame isn’t a cis woman. But for the sake of the thing, I’ll just stick with nonbinary

Edit: so I’ve finally decided that Dame is transfem, and will be editing the post as such, though I may forget some

So I was originally going to name her after shortcake, like Berry Shortcake, but then I remembered, both Princess and Knight are named after things, so why not do the same here? I chose Dame because it was the closest match I could find for a female knight. But she is still based on shortcake

Shortcake:

The design’s fine, but I swear, something about the proportions is off. Or the hair. Or maybe both. Also the sketch looks weird. Oh well. But yeah, my main references for her were Kouign Amann and Wildberry, as well as Princess for the dress. My whole idea was just “princess knight” for her. But what got me to finally draw her was me looking for references for my sketch dump and finding one of someone with a giant lance, and I basically went “I want that”. I gave her yellow hair just for the shortcake bit, and I changed it from Knight’s blonde just because I thought it looked a bit weird on her. And that it blended too much with the armor. I think I might have made the lance too small? It’s supposed to be really oversized. All in all, like I said, the design’s fine, but it’s not entirely what I was picturing in my head. Though then again, I think the picture in my head was that of a human character, so maybe that’s part of it

So anyways, Dame Cookie isn’t too complicated. She’s a fighter, but not as much of an adventurer. I imagine she likes to take part in a lot of tournaments. She’s also very friendly and easy to get along with. Oh, and another thing, Dame is pretty damn big. Like, she towers over their parents, and she’s also ridiculously strong, given she can throw their oversized lance at high speeds with ease. I imagine a scenario in which someone new in town hears of a young royal called Dame Cookie, and they imagine a dainty young girl, only to meet her in person (perhaps in a tournament) and find out Dame Cookie looks nothing like what they thought. But despite her fighting and physique, she also very much likes doing stuff like wearing fancy dresses and going to balls and such

Hmm, I wonder, would Dame have worked better as a darkknight fankid? I mean, mostly because of the large size and incredible strength probably fitting in better with Dark Choco’s family, and the fact that the colors work just as good with him too. Although at the same time, I doubt she’d wear frilly dresses or have her name be Dame Cookie…hm. Oh well, that’s not one of my requests yet, so who knows?

But yeah, that’s Dame Cookie. Hope you like her!

@amythecat2001 you were one of the people who asked

Edit: so the top was a redesign, mostly in the hair. The original is here

[a-chaotically-small-lunta]

Alright so AU huh? Mmh well if you know me you know that I love Deltarune. Guess what AU the deltarune fan base hasn’t made yet, at least to my knowledge. The Borrower AU

SO, guess it’s my job huh? Alright, here it is the Borrower AU for Deltarune aka

Minirune

So the basis of this AU is quoted simple, the darkners and the dark worlds are the borrowers and the world of borrowers within the walls. Darkners are tiny about borrower size (around 4 inches on average but with such size variations it can vary haha!) anyway, the darkners used to help the giant Lightners in the light but one day something happened, and the darkners didn’t dare go back out to the light. Many believe the Lightners left them and Chose to ignore the darkners, others believe the Lightners did something to make darkners want to hide. Who knows the real reason.

The dark worlds mostly remain the same, being in the same buildings as they were in game, the only difference is that they are living in the walls, floors, and ceilings. Here’s the cool bit, the darkners still have their powers but they have one extra one, they can turn into the object that represents them. At least to a certain degree. For example Lancer would turn into his card, the Queen (while yes is probably the computer) would be able to shift into a microchip or even a small mainframe or flash drive. I haven’t really decided on that yet haha.

Anyway, the story would be quite similar with kris and susie discovering this hidden world and exploring it. How? Well of course they get shrunk! They have to travel through the dark world to find the fountain that shrunk them and close it in order to get back to their normal size. However even after the fountain is closed the darkners stay darkners, they just lose the ability to hide in plain sight. So susie and kris can let the darkners decide to stay in their current homes or come with them to a new home where they don’t have to worry about being seen by other Lightners.

Now what about our favorite two lads? I’m talking Jevil and Spamton of course? What makes them, them in this AU? Simple really, they talk to a lightner. They learn and got help from a lightner or the knight (since I’m still not 100% sure the knight is a lightner but eh) Both had contact with a lightner and got different things from them. Jevil learned more about how small he really is and how little of an effect he would have on the larger world around him, to which he responds that since his actions wouldn’t matter, that means he can do anything. He also plays with this lightner a lot and this made the kings upset because his interactions with the lightner was putting everyone in danger. So they locked him up. Meanwhile spamton meets mike (who I’m assuming is another darkner but I’m not 100% sure) and mike introduces him to a lightner who supplies him with all these items and trinkets. He becomes well known as one of the best borrowers in the walls, until the lightner and mike just disappear one day. Then everything goes downhill. He is forced to go borrowering after not actually doing it for awhile and often trips up. Lucky there is a robotic action figure hidden away somewhere that might help him escape this little nightmare he’s found himself in.

Anyway those are just some thoughts of mine about this lil AU haha. Also I tried to design some borrower versions of the lads, might redesign them but I honestly like how they look. I really like Jevil’s big bells lol.

If you have any thoughts, ideas, or even questions about this AU, let me know! I’d love to hear/answer them!

Also for anyone who wants to be a little self indulgent, imagine finding your favorite darkner as a borrower/tiny. Just a little version of them. Maybe they were taking something from you, or perhaps they got stuck and now need you help. Either way, enjoy the daydreams heehehhehehe!

UHHHH HI. EXPLOSION EMOJI. love your blog btw :3 found it via sneep snorping through a follower of one of my sideblogs's tumblr (b!david is very cool)

SO BASICALLY i have these four little guys who are in a BAND together !! their names are BENNETT, PIPER, NATHOS, AND ASH !! i plan to make a videogame about them and one of my closest friends helped design two of them (more like redesign really, i made the four guys before i decided on them being in a band together and so their designs were all over the place and so i made their designs more coordinated with eachother, and my friend redesigned piper and ash with me mentioning the basic things i had in mind) (i also very slightly changed the redesigns (as in i literally just made ash's eyes purple to match with xer jacket color and some other tiny things HGJFIKM))

gonna just copy and paste their artfight bios here, wouldve done the links but you need an account to actually view the links HGANKFJN

Name: Bennett Hubbard Nickname/s: Benny Boy (jokingly) Age: 21 Birthday: November 3rd Species: Human Height: 6'2 Gender: Male Pronouns: he/him Sexuality: No one knows Relationship status: Single Occupation: Bassist for the band The Drawing Board, burger flipper on the side Personality: A bit blunt, but means well. Will stand up for what is right. Likes: Music, his friends, sweet and spicy food (not at the same time), bugs Dislikes: Ignorant people, pickles (will only eat them when he absolutely has to)

Name: Piper Cline Nickname/s: N/A Age: 21 Birthday: May 24th Species: Human Height: 5'5 Gender: Female Pronouns: she/her Sexuality: Pansexual Relationship status: Single Occupation: Keyboardist for the band The Drawing Board, repairwoman on the side Personality: A bit shy at first, but once she knows you well enough, she'll trust you with her life!

Chronic practical joker. Likes: Music, xer friends, bright colors Dislikes: Being taken advantage of

i also put the 4 of them into separate rps !! the one bennett is in is the only one thats started. also that where i got the nickname benny boy from (but the things that happen in their respective rps arent considered canon, more like an au, also that would be wayyy too much trauma to stuff into them when im already gonna give them trauma in the videogame story itself HGAKFJNDCJKM)

ANYWAY !! here they are, bennett piper nathos and ash respectively :] formatting is bad so have One Giant Ash

and heres piper and ash, drawn by @pastel-bleu-art !!!

a bit hard to tell from the pics (ILL MAKE A BETTER REF SOMEDAY ...) but piper is a bit chubby :] ANYWAY thats about all i have to say about em because i dont wanna say too much because of GAME SPOILERS ... but just. quick synopsis: they are chosen by the great goddess oda to save the universe by defeating the cacophonous six !! but shit goes down. oh and btw i feel that it's important to mention that they are essentially weezer but gay /silly

i LOVE gay and silly people <2

[tirimsil]

Hi! Since you were disappointed with how MLP g4 turned out by the time it ended (as was I), I was curious if you have any opinions on Equestria Girls? Personally I think it had a ton of potential, as to me Sunset Shimmer is one of the few positive elements that the new writers added to the franchise, but they sacrificed any expansive world building and overall narrative integrity for forced ship pandering, much like the MLP finale did (though in this case with rarijack and sciset and on a much bigger scale), which ofc the fans eat up. I actually think if Sunset was included in the main show, it could’ve let to some interesting and cool plot lines (plus imo she brings the best out of Twilight). I’d like to know what you think! :)

Finally, Summersong has come back to Tumblr.

... to whine on a different account, but it seems this was sitting in my inbox. I have no idea how long it's been there.

Just like old times, it took me a whole day to finish writing this. But anyway it's been a while since I watched this crud so let's see...

Equestria Girls (EQG) was a very obvious cheap cash grab for teen girls. A really successful one, though, since it let Hasbro steal the Disney Princess license from Barbie.

With this in mind... the first two EQG movies are surprisingly decent. The second being the far better of the two with the exception of Trixie repeating her stupid strip club song over and over.

The third movie is garbage other than its songs and the fourth is meh. I despise "Sci-Twi". She has zero of prime Twilight's charm; they didn't expressly address or play on the analogue to prime Twilight having the least connection to the other girls out of the six so we get only the drawbacks of that lack of connection; and Sunset covers all of her contributions to the show from being the leader to having the most impressive powers to formerly being a monster. Sci-Twi is a boring nothing-character there for creeps to drool over a shy nerd girl. Sci-Twi is completely pointless.

Beyond the movies, I saw I guess a couple of the specials and that's about it. So I have no clue what you're talking about with the character shipping. Either that's more apparent in the shorts I didn't watch or the fandom is once again going "Two characters who appeal to my confused understanding of queerness I developed as a coping mechanism for being bullied at school are talking? I can't believe this gratuitous sex is in a children's show!"

EQG is surprisingly good for what it is, but that doesn't mean it's good good. The most obvious problem is how it looks. While the content they designed specifically for Equestria Girls looks okay, existing characters they had to redesign usually look abominable.

The worst casualties are the Princesses.

They kinda tried with Celestia, who has the right eyes (maybe) barely fitting on her face, but the others have completely new eyes (as an awful lot of characters do) and oh yeah Luna's a totally different color.

I mean, some of Luna's toys were also that color since MLP toys often look like bootlegs of themselves...

But also she is now "human", so EQG was bound to irrelevant and racist ideas of "acceptable" human skin color. Big Macintosh couldn't be red, lest the country bumpkin stereotype be mistaken as an indigenous American stereotype, so I presume no one could be too dark either because "NOBODY could be THAT black it MUST be a caricature". This is of course completely ridiculous, but someone pretended to be angry soccer moms and tried to sue Hasbro at least once over bullshit wokery (The Last Roundup), so they were wise not to take such chances.

This original-good / returning-bad rule of thumb applies even to new outfits. EQG Pinkie is kinda gross in her standard outfit, but looks much cuter in the new outfit she gets while working as a waitress - partially because she no longer has giant elephant feet.

(I think they intentionally worked Alice Liddel into the waitress design as a reference to "Pinkie is secretly an ax murderer". See Cupcakes, American McGee's Alice, etc.)

Because it's made for teen girls, EQG stories are incredibly daft and mostly rely on girls being superficial wenches. Literally every single major EQG antagonist except maybe Gloriosa is motivated by ego, jealousy, or otherwise a concern with their public image or vanity. Even Wallflower, who tried to get everybody to forget her, did this because she was embarrassed she was cringe af for real I can't even.

In the comics, someone - I think it's Sunburst - actually writes a college thesis on how Starswirl the Bearded is the Worst Pony and why everything is his fault. One of the reasons is that he recklessly chucked the Sirens (originally from prime Equestria) into a random other dimension, assuming this'd be OK since it had no magic. In the comics Starswirl's abuse of Luna is part of why she became Nightmare Moon and he also accidentally created the changelings.

I don't remember if the Sirens are mentioned in the core show, but other than them, the only EQG character who is ever recognized is Sunset, because she's the only one who ever interacted regularly with the prime Equestrians (being one herself), and because Sunset was already shown in her impossibly adorable pony form in EQG anyway so they didn't need to make new assets for her or have goofy moonfaced "humans" appear in the core show.

Reverie Equestria doesn't incorporate EQG per se because EQG is completely at odds with everything about RevEq and generally incredibly stupid, but the prime Equestrian versions of EQG characters will appear. I know some of them appeared in the comic, usually just in cameo roles, but the RevEq versions won't necessarily match the comic versions.

For instance, here's a sprite for Wallflower Blush if and when she appears in Out of Season.

(Most character sprites don't have the cutie marks put on yet.)

In the comics, Wallflower appears as an earth pony. In RevEq she's a unicorn, because she does the memory-wiping thing herself. Every magic character in RevEq has a signature spell, and Wallflower's is the Oblivion Spell that lets her wipe memories.

And yes, in RevEq, applicable characters consistently have bushwooly hair covering their faces when seen from the right. This is a half-joke about how all MLP characters are designed to look good from the left, since that's how they're put in the toy boxes, and some of them like the Princesses clearly have the entire right side of their face blocked off. It also lets characters like Fluttershy or Wallflower hide their faces from the player's perspective. Maybe I'll have a stealth segment where you can sneak past someone because she can't see to her right.

If you play the very early, not-remotely-finished Out of Season right now, you'll notice Rainbow Dash even has different colors of her hair visible left vs. right, whereas the show just flips her over.

Anyway.

EQG is okay. I didn't expect much and I didn't get much. It has some interesting ideas to transform into better forms for fanfic AUs. Humans suck, pone not munkey.

Yelena Belova x Reader Steal Your Heart pt.1

Summary: You're an infamous thief who is known to be willing to steal anything from anybody, and you actually have the skills to do it too. Which means you would make a great asset to Valentina if she could actually pin you down that is. You live off the grid and it's basically impossible to locate you. So when she catches word that an enemy has sent you on a job to steal some top secret files from her. Yelena is put on the job to bring you in.

You knew this was going to be a tough job, and there was a voice in the back of your head. Saying that no amount of money was worth it, and it wasn't because the job was beyond your level of skill. No it was because of who you would be stealing from exactly.

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

You never meant the woman in person, but only an idiot living under a rock in the criminal world wouldn't know her. The powerful woman made it her business to know who was the best in the every game, and to scout out potential recruits for whatever she needed. A rumor got back to you a couple of months ago that you were on her radar, and ever since then. You decided to make it your mission to stay out of her range. What she wanted you had no idea or any intention on finding out.

But this job could change that one wrong move or calculation, and your plan would fail.

"You don't make mistakes or miscalculations we can't afford to" a voice of old friend said.

You thought back to your early days learning how to be a thief, and using your powers to gain the advantage. The only reason this plan wouldn't work is if it was a trap set by Valentina herself. But you highly doubted that because if she thought it was that easy. She would've done it a long time ago. You were just being paranoid and stressing yourself out the day before a big job. Knowing it was best to just get some rest and relax. You walked away from the table that had the schematics of the building on it, and ventured into the giant bathroom. A nice hot bubble bath, some five star room service, and a power nap is all you needed to prepare for this job.

Nothing could or would go wrong it was just another job.

"Hey there's a problem with the new assignment you gave me Valentina." Yelena said falling into step with the woman as she left her office.

"I don't believe there is unless you're turning it down" Valentina replied her voice holding a dark tone.

It didn't phase the blonde at all as she held up the file and flipped it open. "You forgot to mention exactly where the target is located."

"I didn't forget to mention it no one knows where the Shadow is located. But you won't need to worry about that anyway she will be here tonight."

"Well if she is coming here then why do I need to go after her?" Yelena asked frustrated

"Because she's not coming here for a tea party. Her mission is too steal some very sensitive information on a new super formula for our enemies. If you're not careful she'll be in and out before you even know it. I want you to wait for her to show up, knock her unconscious, and bring her to me."

"You're not coming in tomorrow am I to bring her to your home." Yelena said more joking rather than being serious.

"Yes I've been trying to get my hands on this thief for way too long." Valentina answered sharply.

Later that night

Out here running along the rooftop of a government building to find the old air duct. That still existed somehow because they forgot to get rid of it. When redesigning everything this was your element, and the rush of adrenaline running through your veins at this very moment reminded you of that. You couldn't believe that you were actually doubting yourself and abilities. There was a reason that the Shadow was the most infamous thief in the whole world. Because there was no job too difficult for you to complete.

You slid to a stop in front of the air duct, and pulled your dagger out of the sheath holstered on your thigh. Once the vent door was pried off you crawled in and slid down the duct shaft coming to a stop in a dark room. You were able to kick the vent door off with your feet catching it before it fell to the floor, and made to much noise. The air duct led you to a printing room from the looks of it. The room was dark and empty, but you could hear footsteps and distant voices in the hallway. This was a government building so it would never be empty of people, unless it was a holiday. But no matter you've stolen from more well-populated areas during daytime before. This would be a walk in the park.

Once the all the footsteps and fading voices were gone. You opened the door just a bit to peek out making sure it was clear. Not a person in sight but there were some annoying security cameras plastered everywhere. You dug your cellphone out of your pocket, and pulled up the buildings security system. That you had managed to successfully hack in before you left. Usually you would go through the trouble of creating a fake loop of a clear hallway. But you decided not to bother with that this time considering the security room was right across the hall, and if your info was right. There was only one guard watching the cameras right now on this wing of the building. The other two would be patrolling right about now, and would be gone for another twenty-four minutes.

You had to retrieve the files and get out in that window of time. In order to make a clean getaway with no delays or problems. If not then you would have to get your hands a little dirty. You took the pocket watch resting on your collarbone in your hand, and pressed down on the tiny button. It started ticking which started the countdown without any hesitation you turned off the building's whole security system. Which rendered all alarm settings and cameras useless you opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. Right as the guard was coming out to go off and find help instead your fist found his face twice knocking him out.

A giant hand formed out of darkness caught the guard before he could hit the ground, and carried the man back into the room. You laid him in the chair and shut the door then your eyes scanned the hallway. Not a soul in sight you started your journey to secret room where the government kept all the top secret stuff. It didn't took no longer than five minutes to reach the office. That contained the doorway to the secret room, but the lock was bit more advanced than you expected. So picking that lock cost you another three minutes, luckily though the opening the doorway only required a fingerprint.

Finally you were in the room that was filled with filing cabinets, a couple of desks, and some deposit boxes lined up on the wall. You already knew which one you needed, and the fingerprint gave instant access. With ten minutes to spare you were walking out of the office closing the door behind you. "Just like you taught me Remy" you murmured to yourself turning around to make your escape. Instead you came face-to-face with a blonde woman in tight black suit. There were a pair of batons strapped to her thigh, and some type of weapon hooked on her wrist. Yeah she was definitely here to stop you which meant this was indeed a trap.

"You could make this easier on yourself and just surrender now" she said. Her hands resting on her batons indicating she already knew what direction this would be going in.

"Now where's the fun in that" You asked with a small smirk pulling the hood on to cover your face.

Her lips twitched upward in a small smirk and then she was right in front of you. Swinging a baton up aiming right for your face you managed to lean back just in time dodging it. "Careful sweetheart this face is too pretty to be bruised" You said spinning your body around her, and bringing your elbow up to deliver a harsh blow to the back of her head. But somehow the blonde managed to turn around in time to catch your arm in a tight grip. With a sharp tug she was pulling you to her and a swift kick to your back sent you sprawling onto the floor.

You landed your knees hissing in pain but the deposit box was still in your grasp. Which meant you had no reason to actually stick around and entertain this chick. She was pretty and while on any other day you wouldn't mind sticking around to play. You were determined to not get caught and land in the clutches of Valentina.

With her no longer blocking the path to freedom you took running down the hallway. Hearing her curse and give chase a solid three minutes had went by giving you seven to make it out now. If your old partner was here he would be chastising you for getting distracted. Your legs was carrying you as fast they could go, not even slowing down for the sharp turn. You bumped into the wall stumbling for a second which gave the blonde the break she needed to tackle you. The momentum sent both of flying back into a door that wasn't fully shut.

The two of you tumbled back into the room with her on top of you. She didn't need time to recover her hand reached into the holster on her thigh pulling out one of the batons. Which lit up with electricity her other arm was on your throat pinning your head down to the floor. "I really didn't want to do it this way, but since you prefer that pretty little face remains unscathed. I don't see another way" she said ready to bring the baton down. Staring her in the eyes you watched as her face went from triumph to fear. As a shroud of darkness surrounded both of you the baton clattered to the floor, and she let up on your throat as her vision was thrown into darkness.

"You're not the only one with cool tricks blondie" you gloated twisting your legs up to grab her, and fling her off of you. She let out a grunt in pain as she hit the floor on her back. The ticking on your pocket watch was winding down faster meaning you had maybe a minute left at the most. You pulled the darkness back in while scrambling to your feet, and rushing for the door. The blonde woman had her vision back and saw you leave the room. You were hoping for a bigger head start but no she was right on you again. She held up her wrist, aimed, and shot a projectile. Freedom was so close that you could practically taste just a couple more feet. But right as you were approaching the door something slammed into you from behind. The next thing you knew this red electrifying rope was wrapping around your body securing your arms to your side. The force of it knocked you onto the floor.

You managed to pull yourself up into a sitting position. The blonde walked over and kneeled down in front of you just as the pocket watch went off. "Well I guess that means you're out of time sweetheart" she said with a smirk. Her hand reaching to take the pocket watch and press the button silencing it. She yanked on the chain pulling your head to down so your ear was to her mouth. "All that and you still held on to the goods. I see why they hired you too bad it's over for you now."

On the inside you were seething and freaking out. This wasn't a trap set by Valentina herself she just a saw an opportunity and took it. You knew you should've listened to your instincts and turned the job down, but your pride got the better of you. Now you were going to pay for it if you didn't find a way out of this. Your eyes scanned the hallway looking for a way out with an urgency you never felt before. At first all hope seemed to be lost until you caught sight of a small shadow peeking out from under a door just a few feet away.

You grinned thrilled that the blonde couldn't see your face. "Hey blondie do you know why they call me the Shadow."

"No and stop calling me that my name is Yelena" she shot back loosening her grip on your pocket watch. But it was too late you snapped your head back so hard the chain broke, and then you swung your head forward with as much force as you could manage. Connecting your forehead with her's creating a sickening crunch Yelena stumbled back with a cry of pain. Your pocket watch still in her hand.

Then you were scooting your body towards that small ink of shadows desperately. By the time Yelena recovered and was on her feet looking at you furiously. You were had made it and turned back too look at her. Your gaze drifted to your precious pocket watch, but you had no choice but to leave it behind. It would hurt but at least you had the deposit box still, and you could always return for it later.

"Its because I always disappear into the shadows" were your last words to her. Yelena frowned and leapt towards you but as soon as your hand touched the shadow peeking out from the door. You vanished your body merging with the shadows, and transporting you away. The electrifying net snapped together when you disappeared. Yelena let out a cry of frustration already pulling out her phone to dial Valentina.

Just exactly how could the woman forget to mention your powers to her. Her gaze fell upon the pocket watch in her hand, and she decided right then the two of you would meet again. And next time you wouldn't escape her so easily.
