#i wanna add more doodles first though

[sar3nka]

I doodled nana btw

[todayisafridaynight]

tsutsumi gotta be the funniest choice to play sawashiro since he really does encapsulate his casting career of both action roles and being dad of the year (most of the time)

[seiishindraws]

I noticed when looking super close at your line art that the there's slight red green and blue on the sides of the lines like an old 80s anime and i think that's super cool! How do you do it?

oh, that's chromatic aberration! i guess you could say its a kind of colour/visual distortion.

it's pretty simple to do, but i usually just use a csp auto action to do it for me to make things go quicker, but i can teach you how to do it manually in most programs.

i'm going to use this silly doodle of me as pompompurin as an example lol

youre gonna wanna merge everything onto a single separate layer first and then we're gonna work with that merged layer. make two copies of that merged layer so you have three of them in total.

the top merged layer will be our red layer, so youre going to want to got to EDIT > Tonal Correction > Level Correction

the level correction graph will pop up. since the top layer will be our red one, select the green level and drag the rightmost arrow on the Output scale all the way to the leftmost side. do the same for the blue level.

the image should be red like this afterwards.

the middle layer is going to be our blue layer so do the same thing we did for the top layer except youre going to reduce the green and red levels instead, and the middle layer should be all blue like this.

for the bottom layer, it will be our green layer. same process as before, reduce the red and blue levels so its all green.

your layers should be looking like this now

from here, you want to set the layer modes of the red and blue layers to Screen, DON'T do the same for the bottom green layer though. you'll notice once you've done that, the image will look normal again!

from here, all you need to do is shift the red layer in one direction, and the blue layer in another, to as much of an extent you want. the further they are from each other, the more drastic the effect will be

and that's how you do it! my other personal tip would be to add a layer of noise set to Overlay or Soft Light at a lowered opacity over the drawing bc it goes well with the aberration, or even sharpen the image.

if you dont want to do all that hard work though and you happen to have clip studio paint, just use an auto action, like this one!:

anyway i hope that helps? ^^;;;

How do you do hands so well!?💀

I cheat lol

Ok, so that's a half truth half lie. Here's a few tuto, one about hand composition, one to teach you how to make a hand from scratch, and one to tell you that sometimes, in art, you gotta simplify your life.

First, hand composition:

Red: palm shape and fingers size

From above, the palm will look like a pentagon, a bit wider towards the fingers, with the middle finger being the peak higher than the others. You can replicate that little knuckles hill at the end of the fingers. Fingers' size depends wildly on the person, some have palms longer than their fingers, others have fingers longer than their palms. For a base ref, make palm and fingers as long as each other and move the fingers' length from there.

From the side, the palm will look like a trapeze, base wider than the top.

From the front, the palm will never be completely flat! At rest, it will curve inward slightly. Draw a lump for the general shape.

Orange: fingers

From above, fingers tend to fan out at rest.

From the side, keep following the line of the top part of your hand. The inner side of the fingers will be straighter though. Fingers are composed of three mostly equal parts (the last one might be shorter depending on the person).

Blue: thumb

People tend to forget the thumb is surprisingly mobile! Unlike fingers that can only close and spread, thumbs can move forward and backward, up and down, and make actual rotations!

The base of the thumb will take at least half of the palm's side, but extra skin to allow movement will make it look like it take more space. Just like other fingers, it's actually composed of three parts. The thumb will usually be just a tad longer than the base knuckles of the other fingers (but as said before, fingers size change depending on the person).

Brown: knuckles and wrist

For the knuckles, you can make little elongated pyramids at the top of your palm shape. They will always follow the line of the fingers.

The inner part of the wrist will be mostly straight or curved inward, but the outer side should have a bump due to the ulna bone. Sometimes I place it as a hill, sometimes as a circle.

Second, the messy tuto:

1. Movement

First you should always draw a shitty shape indicating the general position and movements of your hand. Don't bother with proportions or details, you just wanna be able to tell what you want your hand to be doing.

2. Palm shape

Start by detailing your palm. Try to highlight where the fingers and the wrist will be. Refer to the hand composition above for the general shape.

3. Fingers implantation

Separate the top of your hand in four mostly equal circles for the base of your fingers, and the side of your palm in a roughly rounded triangle for your thumb. Once more, refer to the hand composition above.

4. Fingers

Place the three parts of all your fingers more or less following the initial shape/movement you wanted to go for. Fingers should be roughly the same size as your palm, but you can vary the length as no two people have the same hands.

5. General shape

Once you have placed all your finger parts, you will be able to draw them and connect them to your palm. Don't hesitate to start making adjustments starting from this step.

6. Details

Nails are, just like fingers, very different depending on the person. Globally you can put either an oval or a rounded rectangle on top of your fingers. You can make them longer after the finger for effeminate or well kept nails.

Add pyramids at the base of your fingers to place your knuckles and a circle or a pyramid on the outer side of your wrist to place your ulna bone.

7. Finish

Add details, adjust sizes, remove extra lines, and you have a hand.

Ok. Now, that technique I just showed you? Don't use it. No, I'm serious. Don't use it for hands that are part of the main focus. Do it for background characters or doodles or training or comics panels where hands aren't that important.

For illustration and panels with a focus on your character's hands, use the following technique instead.

Third, how to make your life easier as an illustrator:

1. Reference

Yes. That's how you make good hands. You take a pic of your own hand doing the pose you want to use as reference.

2. Palm

Just as the tuto explained before, you start by finding the shape of your palm on the pic and try to replicate it. It might be a bit difficult at first to copy proportions properly, but doing it again and again will make it easier in time. (Also refer to the last part of this post*)

3. Thumb

Usually I'd go for the fingers first, but since the thumb is on the foreground I started with it here. First the implantation with the palm, then the two last parts. (As you can see I have tiny potato hands so I tend to artificially elongate the fingers compared to my reference to have prettier hands).

4. Fingers

Find the general movement of your fingers. Straight lines for fingers in tension and connected cylinders for fingers flexing.

5. Once you are able to place the general shapes, you will have an easier time copying your own hand. Doing it without the previous steps is feasible when you are used to copying, but if you are new to this I would suggest deconstructing your hand to train your brain into remembering every detail.

6. Corrections, details, add a little movement if you are into dynamic-art, keep it realistic if you are into realism.

You now have a pretty hand.

Remember : You can (and you should) use references! Normal humans aren't made to remember every single details about everything, especially when those things are as complex as hands (or Gods forbid it buildings and cars and whatever else).

If you struggle with drawing hands, take a pic of your own hand to help. Try to find the big shapes composing your own hand so it'll be easier to yolo another time.

References are your friends! Don't think you're any less of an artist because you need to have your own shoe on your drawing table so you can draw your character's feet!

(*For new artists : TRACE! I'm sure you've heard everywhere that tracing is diabolical and you should never do it. It's FALSE. Tracing helps with your hand-eye coordination. 80% of art is reflex! I no longer need to think about all these steps because I have been drawing for more than 15 years. I started by tracing Winx Club stickers I had one my windows! It helped me have a sense of movements, proportions, and fluid lines.

What you shouldn't do with tracing is post it as your own art! You are free to trace as training, but you should never claim it is your own art.

Other than that, please, trace. Trace your own hands pic to get used to the shape. Trace your favorite artists to understand what you like in their lines or proportions. Trace that damn building because you don't have time to create a whole background from scratch for your webcomic.)

Art is cheating. Always. Don't feel bad for making your life easier.

Arthur Morgan x Male!Reader Hcs

Hey!! I wanted to make another hc list cuz the last one did so well! I made this an x male!reader because as a gay trans guy, there really isn’t too much when it comes to male readers. I just wanna make other people who feel the same and myself feel happy and represented!

Also to add Arthur is autistic in this

Warnings: Mention of vomit

Though he maybe aversive to touch with others, arthur is SUCH a cuddle bug with his partner. When they first start out he’s shy and will hold your hand or wrap his arm around your shoulders.

but once it’s long term arthur gives you big bear hugs, hands around your waist, holding you close by the fire, and of course those soft kisses <3

When he’s drunk, he pulls you onto his lap, smothers your face in kisses, and yells about how much he loves you.

Arthur also gets shy when it comes to talking about his interests. If you mention something like drawing or horses, he’d make a small comment or addition to the conversation. But once he’s comfortable enough, he’ll infodump for hours about horses to you!

Just hold him close, let his head rest on your chest while you pet his hair and he infodumps, and he’s in heaven!

Some pet names he’d call you would include: “Darlin, Sweetheart, My prince, My man, Hun, and Sunshine” :3 When you call him any pet name, his heart melts and his legs feel like jelly

He loves giving and receiving praise! He’ll whisper in your ear “good boy” just to mess with you cuz he know it makes you BLUSH! But he’ll also be like “atta boy!” or “yup, that’s my boy.”

The first time you praised him, it felt really odd for him. He hadn’t been praised like that ever since he’d been with Mary. It felt so foreign but so…good.

His big ol’ heart skips a beat when you tell him how proud you are of him, or how he looks so handsome in that new shirt you got him. He feels like the happiest man on earth

Now unfortunately, times weren’t as accepting as they are now. You and Arthur knew it had to be kept secret for fear of what might happen. You two don’t feel any embarrassment at all, just a need for a safety. The gang knows about you two, most of them accepting you with welcome arms!

You also help Arthur out more with errands, jobs, and chores. Ever since an incident were Arthur worked his way up to illness like vomiting, you’ve made it your duty to lay off the weight on Arthur’s shoulders.

If he needs help with the hay bales, you’ll be right next to him holding one. If he’s going out on a stage job from alden, you ask if you can tag along!

Arthur has gotten better with accepting help or rest, but not so much asking for it. You still encourage Arthur to request help if he needs it, and how he’s not weak for doing so.

There have even been times where you’d yell at Dutch and Strauss to leave Arthur be for a bit.

He’ll sometimes doodle little drawings of you in his journal as well as writing lovey dovey passages about you and putting “A<3Y/N” with a big heart too. He’ll even just doodle random hearts while spacing out and thinking about you..

He gets so excited to see you, even if you can’t tell. The way his eyes light up like a big puppy dog’s as he speed walks over to your horse to greet you and give you a welcome back kiss

He also penguin pebbles and finds random stuff that reminds him of you!! Whether it be a cigarette card, a flower, or even some artifact or object he found…he WILL give it to you!

That’s all for now! If y’all wanna send in your arthur or just any other rdr hcs, feel free! I also wouldnt mind writing more arthur hcs so please feel free to send me rqs!

Desert Duo Doodles! I am in way too many fandoms to count, including content creators and whatnot. It wasn’t until a doodle of some CCs that I realised how many were MCYTs. But I wanted to draw these two cause I liked how I drew Scar in the other original doodle and have drawn Grian a bunch but constantly changed the design. Now I have one that I like.

Under the cut are the individual drawings plus stickers that I forgot to add to the original but decided fuck it it’s done, plus some explanation about design choices and headcanons. (Does anyone even care about that?) Idk and idc, I’ll ramble anyways.

(you don’t have to read the stuff, I don’t really care, but you can if you want)

First off, this one was annoying since it was supposed to be a hug. I was too lazy to draw the Third/Sercet Life outfits, so they are in their default outfits with crowns representing the fact that they won at least one of the Life games.

Ramble: For Grian’s design, I wanted to keep the bird/avian hybrid but also reference other series or past friend. The Life series has the poppy has memorabilia, the blue and red bracelet represents YHS/TS, and the eye necklace is for Evo. The tail is more so a mix of Watcher magic and Avian DNA, bird feet cause why not. The wing ears are hidden to look similar enough to his regular hair, I like to imagine that wing ears are a rarer trait and to not draw too much attention, he would use Watcher magic to change the colour of the wing ears to match his hair. The freckles are based off of the idea that Angel Dust’s freckles are actually just eyes (which were shown in the show), and I liked that idea. He didn’t have freckles before Evo but after in Hermitcraft he did, they are just eyes that are always closed though he can see out of them. It’ll be clearer in the next piece, but his eyes are based off of some bird eyes so a black sclera with coloured pupils. Grian just hides his eyes under his hair since they are more sensitive than normal. Also I didn’t wanna draw his eyes cause it was one of the things I kept changing before.

I’ll go into Scar later since it’s just a half body but he goes by the same rule of his outfit showing where he’s been. So the poppy and lavender for Third Life and the heart necklace for Secret Life. The earrings are based off of the crystals from Season 7.

Alter Egos! Or at least Hot Guy and Arianna Griande. Not much here, but you can see what I meant with the eyes beforehand.

Also, I can’t be the only one to notice or at least point out that Ari and Cute Guy have like the same or a least a very similar colour palette of pink and white.

Final one, and the two are taking a much needed nap. This could take place anywhere though I like to imagine somewhere in Double Life or somewhere between Season 7 - 10

(also I find it very funny how close these two’s bases were for Season 6 - 10. both were near each other in the futuristic district of season six, then next door neighbours at the start of season seven, I don’t need to mention much besides boatem in season eight, again near the start and most of season nine with Scarland and Grian’s timejump build, then finally again in season ten with Magic Mountain. just funny to me for some reason)

Ramble: Scar is like a hybrid between an elf/fae creature and a cat centaur (that I cannot remember the proper name for). The cat half is based off of Jellie, RIP, and his body is scarred because well I mean the dude is accident-prone it’s bound to happen. I imagine that Scar would wear slightly baggy outfits, like they hang off just a bit to not hug his figure. His hair is more based off of Season 9 with him leaning into the whole elf aesthetic, and I both hate and like the hair but whatever. Idk, I kinda just wanted to make him centaur based cause that visual isn’t something I see often. I imagine that hind legs are weaker than the front so he would switch between a cane and a wheelchair that you would see for animals. I might draw that later idk, but yea

If you actually took the time to read this incoherent mess, idk comment a content creator you like, no matter how niche they may be

Moodboards for @camhues

So, I've been getting a bit bored with my life lately and decided I needed to do something to get busy. My art skills are killing me and I'm trying to practice but I gave up for a while. Then I'm scrolling through Tumblr and admiring everyone's amazing OC's and I wish I could draw like them and some of them are underrated more than should be so...Why not just celebrate them ?! I can't for my own life draw anything good but what I can do is find good aesthetic choices and I love making moodboards and such for characters. So that's what I'm doing for OC's of people who need more attention ! Today we are starting with the beautiful and talented @camhues. If you don't know them, she is a artist of Tumblr mostly known for her LMK OC's and does a lot of doodles with them. And she makes only women and OH MY GOD, THESE ARE THE MOST GORGEOUS WOMEN IN MY LIFE AHH- Enough, I need to get on. She has a lot and I did one for all of them ! (Sheesh-) Or at least the ones I know. So Here's the Moodboards for them and a quick summary of what I think of them.

First off, Mama Jun. Her main OC from what I know and sort of a mother figure to MK and a reincarnation like Pigsy and Tang. Um, she's so gorgeous. I want that braid and the simplistic design works in her favor because there is something so simple and charming about her when I look at her. Also, her Mama-Son bond with MK is adorable-

Then there is Daiyu who from what I know is a Plant-Controller Demoness...or something ? Oh, and she's shipped with Red Son and their name is RedJade. Not as simplistic as Jun but it works in her favor here because she could step on me and I wouldn't be offended. Just let me smell the roses you grow, Daiyu !

Next here is Ling who is a Jade Maiden and is probably one of my current favorites. One of the simpler designs which I love and the lore behind her is also something I wanna find out. Her aesthetic was something I struggled with but it worked out. And as for who she is dating, it is unclear as Cam said she could be with one of three characters. Azure, Wukong or Macaque- I think she and Azure would be really cute-

Here we have Miss Suyin, secretary to the Spider Queen and Resident Mommy according to those who repost her- That's why I added that 'Mommy, sorry-' picture, I couldn't skip the joke. This woman is one of the many reasons I like women with glasses and she's a spider and her 4 eyes look cool-

Another one of my favorites, Baozhu. A Monkey Painter who is someone who I really wanna exist in real life so I can touch her fur and hair because it looks so fluffy ! I mean, look at this girlie ! She's FLOOFY ! I wanna touch the floof ! <333

And now we have domineering Lady in Ao Jiang who from that name I believe is somehow related to Ao Lie ? And is part of Mei's family ? I don't know that much yet but yeah, I love this one. Also, the little jewels hanging from her horns ? *Chef's kiss*

Space Lady Polaris who is giving me stars in my eyes for how cute she looks alone. She looks like someone who would be waiting in my dreams so I could just talk to her. I don't wanna burden her with my troubles though-

Brave Knight of the Falling Stars Asterius who I think might be related to Polaris in some way. They are both Space related in a way. I wonder if there is a connection ? But I love how she looks. She seems like a tomboy and I love tomboy characters :)

Lychee, Oh Lychee, how I tried to do justice for you ! But your aesthetic was something I couldn't nail down much. But at least I added real Lychee's for your sake and put some baking and wrestling into it. Please don't hit me...Or you can. You're gorgeous as you are friking intimidating. For a wrestler and a baker anyway.

Meihua who is honestly one of the most wholesome characters I have seen in a while. She gives me hopeless romantic vibes which I tried to add in here. The flowers for his florist work as well and mainly pink for this one because it matches her hair. Younger me would've loved her while current me thinks she's a lovable character who needs protection.

This woman, however, doesn't need protection as she can use her heels to murder her way through the crowd. Xin Yan, everyone. An evil woman who is gorgeous and she knows it. I heard she was a dancer and singer and the owner of a nightclub so that inspired this a lot. Xin Yan looks like she could kill me with a stare...and I would thank her for it.

Zhenzhu who I don't know much about but damn I really wanna give her a hug because she looks so sad in this picture. She's a handmaiden from what I know for the Empress of Heaven. HOW IS SHE A HANDMAIDEN WITH THE LOOKS OF A GODDESS ??

Chenguang is the ancestor of Jun who once went on the Journey to the West disguised as a man. Her aesthetic was hard to nail down but I eventually went for one that has themes of independence, journeys and outdoor backgrounds.

Ehuang who I thought was another version of Wyldfyre from Ninjago: Dragons Rising. If I didn't know she couldn't control fire, I would've thought fire would be her entire thing. That's why I added boiling water. Along with potions and lots of red.

And last of the OC'S, Chyou ! Who I really don't know much about except for the fact she is an Egret Celestial. So she's graceful as the bird itself and as beautiful as it as well. She is really lovely and the flowers in her hair are a nice touch <3 And that's all the OC's belonging to @camhues ! Or at least the ones I know. If I missed anything, I apologize and I'll make one for them on another day. But for now, have this. These were so much fun to make ! :)

Also, Cam, if you are looking at this, this is for you:

This moodboard is for you ! Don't take this the wrong way but you give me Chaotic Academia vibes- That's not an insult ! I'm sorry, your art is lovely and should be viewed by everyone ! Maybe I'll do this again but I don't know yet. I have to find time to do so. For now, have these gorgeous women ! And guys, please go and take a look as Cam's stuff. They are a very talented artist with a unique style and just a lot of women who you will grow to love ! For now, I'm Vee and I'll see you later when I can :D

All these beautiful characters belong to @camhues (Do not steal from her)

I'm gonna give you guys just a few of the ideas for ALL the voices before I draw them. Because I wanna share so muchhhhh I'm so excited working on all this!

Both spoilers and just long

Hero: Superhero appearance with wings shaped like a cape, even if he's most "human" Though I can make an argument being a superhero to help people is the most human out of the voices.

Broken: hhhh he's my comfort guy. I do have a lot of doodles of him with plucked feathers. [and I don't just mean bald spots, the stems are still in the body] But I wanna add more... diving offering based things for his...opinions on the Tower Princess

Cheated: Oh he needs a X on his chest as a general princess parallel for her being cheated from life too. Also cuts from the Razer princess. Past that, not sure.

Cold: I abandoned the idea of making him look like he was made of icicles, to be wrapped in his wings "But he's a voice numb to the cold, he is the cold itself, why would he be getting himself warm with his wings-?" Because I like that he is cozy within himself. ah? that cool? No? don't care, i'm commited

Contrarian: God I wanna do more past the jester idea and something with his Stranger route arc BUT UGH IDEA MAKING IS HARD. I have a draft of him like a jester for now...

Hunted: I'm gonna reuse the ripped off feathers idea for him. My chickens fight for domanice sometimes so I have a good reference for the appearance. probably bite marks on his wrists and an additional claw. not like a new hand, it's like this thing

Opportunist: EEEHEHEH it's hard to describe without devolving but it's.... a illusion to a Devil pretending to be a Angel thing in visuals, but in representation he isn't a devil just mischievous.I also added the fun ribbons from the Princess and the Dragon chapter.

Paraniod: Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves. Oh come on how could I not add them??? also just ruffles up feather coat and wings. he's gonna get a REALISTIC heart design on his chest btw, not a cartoon one [unlike another voice~]

Skeptic: little hard to figure out i'm still thinking about him maybe detective since he doesn't know what's true and wants to find the truth?

Stubborn: KNIGHT. He is a knight. Warrior!!! the willpower to fucking come back to live is badass. I might make a colored drawing JUST FOR HI because I would love him to have some orange for a Phenoix vibe

SMITTEN: MY BELOVED VOICE. HE'S MY FAV Cupid. He's a Cupid and no one can convince me otherwise. Cute cartoon heart imagery, dainty angel [like cartoon cupids] wings, a nice gown. It suits him

i wanna also say. I am not dressing up the voices, I thought feather shaping language would be fun. Though I didn't have that as a "hard rule to follow". Smitten was the first I drew and he's gonna keep the gown

Also part of me REALLY wants to do "evolved forms" of the voices because of the paths they have a huge role in. Like I saw @beartitled with a Goth Smitten form from the Happily Ever After Chapter because of the HUGE role he had and how much of a evil voice he was. [loved your art btw if you see this, it's inspiring to see :D]

Btw I love the Smitten even more because of that route. Not because I like his actions as the epitomy of "Amatonornativity Standards in the World" but because it shows how much more depth he has and also how too much of this one voice/feeling can be super bad. Like it's such a interesting arc on his end alone and the entire chapter is amazing but now i'm rambling.

[hrts4wonu]

minghaos who takes his time when drawing any portrait of you, making sure to get every detail of your beauty

a/n: oh my god jasmine??? i just started reading your fanfics last night and let me tell you, i was so damn obsessed; i'm not sure if this is a hard thought or anything but i did try to make it smut (with a little bit of fluff and comfort)

wc: 1.7k

-

today was like any other day. well, not technically. today was your boyfriend's project's due date. he was supposed to draw a portrait of the person that means a lot to him; though he first thought of his very own mother, he remembered the first few words you said when you met him.

(flashback)

those few sweet words that came out of your mouth like it was nothing; "i love your artstyle, maybe you should draw your future girlfriend, yeah?" you chuckle as he turned to look at you. "pardon?" he says, a little confused.

"i'm talking about me, hao." he laughs at your straightforwardness and displays a warm smile at you while he remains seated.

you laugh along comfortably, sitting next to him while staring at the canvas that was filled with colorful strokes of red, orange, yellow, blue and pink. "you assume too much, don't y'think?" he teased as he cups your cheeks, tucking your hair behind your ear. "well, you never know, do you?" both of you chuckle together before he picks up his paintbrush and finishes his artwork.

(end of flashback)

that was long ago, yet, the memory itself never fails to melt his heart. though, he couldn't deny; he has drew you before. a couple of times actually.

the problem was, all of them just seemed bad to him. he doodled and sketched your face everyday in class; thinking that everytime he drew you with a different pen or pencil, his sketches get more terrible each day. (and yet he still managed to get good grades even though he doesn't pay attention in class because he's always drawing you)

and so, he never showed you, until you found his sketchbook in his room on your 5th monthsary. he was pretty embarrassed about it, but your praises on his drawings were enough to boost his ego and confidence.

while he quietly sits down on his chair, staring into his computer, he slowly turns to look at you with a nervous smile on his face.

"darling," he starts off, standing up and approaching you on the bed. you hum in response, dropping your phone and looking back at him. "do you want to become my reference? it's for an art project."

you nod, changing your position on the bed. "what do you need me to wear? a dress, or--"

"need you nude, baby." the temptation from his voice was enough to electrify something inside of you; feeling a bit flustered from what he said. "..if you're comfortable with it, of course. i wouldn't want to make myself look like i'm into creepy things like this, yeah?" he adds. "if you really don't wanna, it's fi--"

"mm." you shook your head no. "it's fine," though it seemed aberrant to minghao (because of how much of a gentleman he is), the longing ache in you was basically killing you.

a few minutes later, you slowly got out of the bathroom with a robe on. you were nervous of him judging you, the way your body was built, your skin tone, or maybe that was just your neediness that's getting to you.

he puts on a smile and gives you a warm hug, "take it off when you're ready, hm?" minghao whispers in your ear, leaving a small kiss.

you nod, "yeah."

minghao slowly lets go and stands behind his canvas; squeezing out all the paint onto his palette. he quickly grabs his paintbrush and starts speaking up once more, "hey," he sat down on the tiny chair. "there's still time to back out if you're really not into thi--"

"minghao? is there something wrong?" you throw your robe to the side, crossing your arms which squished your tits from below a bit.

he shook his head, "no, not at all." he looks away and focuses back on his canvas.

minghao couldn't help but stare at you for a bit longer, he didn't know what to say or do at all. it's not like there is a problem- it's that you're there, with no clothes on, and you're on full display.

but besides that, you're gorgeous.

absolutely admirable and so, so, so, so, so beautiful. to him and only him. maybe even to the whole world.

countless hours pass by and minghao was finally done with his work, "baby?" he stands up and dusts his hands off.

"did you fall aslee- oh." you quietly let out muffled moans as you try fingering yourself on the sofa; if only you could see the greed and devotion in his eyes while he painted your figure, he would've dropped his paintbrushes to the floor and take care of you already.

the sweet smile on his face disappears and instead turns into a wicked yet sinister smirk.

minghao cups your cheeks. "let me help you baby, yeah?" he coos, crouching down to give you a soft kiss on the lips before falling onto his knees.

"p-please.." you beg, withdrawing your hand from your pussy but before you could wipe it on the couch, minghao grabs it and slides it in his mouth, licking your small digits that were unlike his long, veiny hands. "hao.." you whine at the sight.

"what is it, pretty girl?" he places his hands on both of your thighs, spreading them apart. "need me?"

you nod. "i've been longing, hao."

he starts kissing your inner thighs; wet lips enough to get you even wetter than you were 10 seconds ago. though your legs were now resting on his shoulder, he still had a firm grasp on them. his nails dug onto your skin, leaving temporary crescent-shaped nail marks onto them.

"so have i, darling." he replies, leaning in towards your pussy, his nose bumping with your clit.

you whine when you feel the pleasure; it's overwhelming, yes, but it feels so good that you can't even utter a single word. not even a single one, the only thing you can let out is a moan.

he licks your pussy's lips and starts eating you out, the sweet taste not leaving his tongue. "f..fuck, hao,"

"mind your language or i'm gonna leave you aching on this sofa, y/n." he threatens and you slightly look away in embarrassment when you saw his bloodthirsty eyes darken in lust. "you wouldn't want that, would you?" he leans back, away from you as the wind's cold breeze comes in contact with your skin.

you shook your head no gently, replying to his question. "well, it's not like you could ever leave me hanging like that, hao." you tease.

he scoffs; "there's always a first time for everything, sweetheart. you should know that." he stood up and quickly switches your position in missionary, pinning you down on the sofa and pressing your legs against your chest and his.

"but, hey." you look at him in confusion as he unzips his pants and pulls his cock out. it was long and veiny, t'was so outstanding and beautiful. something so out of this world. "contrary to what mingyu said before," he breathes, fixing his position on top of you as he leans close enough to your ear. "most of the greatest works of art don't know how great they are not because they're unreal, instead, it's because they don't see the talent in the artist's eyes that were enough to make the painting as appealing as it already is." his hot breath against your ear makes you tremble, "you're just like an artwork, you know?" he teases.

"really?" he nods. "you think so?" your cute puppy eyes, begging and pleading for his angry, red tip was enough to send him to the edge but as punishment, he will make you wait longer.

after a few more minutes of teasing, he finally gives in and thrusts inside of you.

you moan loudly, holding onto his body, yet it seemed so unfair because you were basically naked and he still had his shirt on. "mm.." he looks at you, stopping his thrusting as he felt a little confused.

"what is it, hm?" you slowly tug at his shirt and he finally gets it. "ah, i see." he smirks and takes his shirt off.

he goes back to thrusting inside of you and you let out another moan, "m-mmh!"; he grunts as he thrusts even harder, not stopping for even a breath.

you squirm, putting your hand over your mouth to keep your mouth shut yet you can't help yourself but moan even louder. he notices this and he stops for a moment, leaving you hanging which made you ache for more (though it's not like he could pull out because your pussy was basically sucking him back in), grabbing your hand pinning them over your head as he fucks into you.

"h..hao!" you moan loudly as you felt him hitting that 'sweet spot' inside of you. "hao.." you breathe, starting to pant as your legs start trembling. "i-.. i'm so close.." you whine continuously as his hand lets go of your wrists, traveling down to your nipples.

he rubs them gently, leaning in and licking them clean. minghao does the same for the other breast making you moan and yearn for more;

"i..i'm gonna cum, please.." you beg.

"please what, baby?" he smirks, pulling his lips away from your lips and staring into your doe eyes. "tell me," he starts. "tell me what you need, i'll give you everything. every single thing just for you, my lovely, pretty girl."

you look at him with desire and thirst. "need to cum, please.."

everything was testing him; no, no, no.. that's not the right word, is it? let's try that again-- everything was arousing him. it felt like you were tormenting eachother using their own bodies. everything was so tempting to him, he couldn't help but give in; "cum for me, princess," he says with a smirk on his face. "do it, make me proud, okay?"

it wasn't that long until you reach your climax and you came on his cock. he helps you ride your orgasm until he reaches his, planting his seed inside of you.

the both of you catch your breathes together before he pulls out of you and places a warm, loving kiss on your temple; "come on, let's clean you up, hm?" despite being exhausted, you shot him a smile and he stood up, carrying you to the bathroom to clean you up. "mhm.." you manage to say, still trying to catch your breath from what had just happened.

"hao, i love you." you say, with a smile on your face as you return his kiss back, instead, this time it was on his lips. "i love you too, baby."

a/n 2: sorry this took so long,, i had work and i was slightly busy.. but anyways, i'm FINALLY done! it didn't turn out how i expected it to be yet i still think it's a little better than what i usually write. besides that, i'm really, really glad to make a minghao fanfic so please ask / request for more <3

↳ Index [Chapter 25 - Musique]

• Musique (French, music)

Warnings: nightmares, lotsa comfort, they share a really lovely moment, Jimin acts like a jealous dick though, like my dude it’s not that deep take a chill pill, she also does some stupid overthinking hahahelpher

Wordcount: 7.6k

a/n: idk what to say man, i just love this lil family so much

Someone is whispering your name. Over and over and over again. Louder and louder. You open your eyes. No. You are back in that corridor. That hallway you find yourself in each time you fall asleep. Dark walls, dark floors, sparse lighting and so much blood. Blood on the walls, the ceilings, all over the floor. Barely any air as panic controls you. There are figures in the shadows. Right at the end of the endless corridor. You can’t see their face, but you know that they are human. Or at least it pretends to be. Your name again and again and again. You try to shield it by covering your ears. The figure moves. Closer. You stumble back. Closer. Why is it moving? It never moved before. Why is it moving? Closer. It isn’t supposed to move! Closer. No! Wake up! Closer. Wake the fuck up!

You open your eyes. Your body is unmoving, looking unaffected while your heart is racing unbearably. You are awake again. You must have fallen asleep whilst reading. The book has slipped off your chest. Did this really just happen? The figure moved. It came closer to you. It shouldn’t have moved. It never did so before. You look around your room. Shadows hide most of it from you. You turn on the lights. The darkness disappears but the fear remains. The figure moved. It actually moved.

"I can’t stay here", you get out as you flee from the scary loneliness. You want to find the others. Doesn’t really matter who, as long as they make reality feel real again. No more shadows and panic. Just real people being with you.

You find Yoongi and Jungkook first. Yoongi is showing Jungkook something on the guitar. He softens his play when he can hear you come inside the sitting room. Jungkook turns, sniffling vigorously.

“What’s wrong?” he asks. 

Yoongi shifts his eyes to him and then begins sniffling. Just a second later he furrows his brows.

So they can smell that you are upset. Amazing. 

“Can I be here with you?” you ask them. 

“Of course you can”, they say at the same time.

And while Jungkook adds a “what happened?” at the end. Yoongi chooses to go with “come here, love.”

You appreciate both options dearly.

“I just don’t wanna be alone”, you say.

“I see. Well, Yoongi’s teaching me more stuff on the guitar. You can listen to me fail miserably at the bridge.”

He makes you snicker.

“You’re not failing miserably, Koo-ah. You’re practicing”, Yoongi says, handing the guitar back to the younger vampire, “start from the beginning.”

And while Jungkook starts from the very top, you settle next to them. You left Meredith’s place three nights ago and are currently staying in one of Taehyung’s farms in the Italian countryside close to the Alps. Namjoon was sighted in this area and Taehyung’s place was the perfect place to stay at for now. Secluded, quiet and with enough rooms to spare that everyone could sleep comfortably. The sitting room was small and homely. A piano was in front of a shelf of books and a big window. A good amount of floor space separated the couch and desk from it. Said desk was located right next to the couch so that you could sit at it whilst being close to Yoongi and Jungkook. 

It feels so much better to sit in their presence. The nightmare of before begins to feel far away and unreal the longer you are with them. There still lingers a painful, dark lump deep in your belly and it probably won’t leave for a long time, but at least you don’t feel so helpless against the shadow anymore. It can’t reach you for as long as you here in the real world with them. 

There was a pen and some paper on the desk. You begin doodling on it as Jungkook’s play accompanies you. Their hushed conversation occasionally interrupts the melodies, followed by a repetition of the part Jungkook had messed up. Each time it sounds better than before. You like listening to them talk. Yoongi talks so tenderly to Jungkook and in return Jungkook speaks with so much gentleness. Their voices never reach their full volume, staying at a level which feels relaxing to listen to. You are starting to get droopy because of it. Drawing becomes so incredibly relaxing.

It just so happens that tension returns when Taehyung followed by Jimin enter the room. You can sense it instantly, Yoongi is tense, as is Jungkook. You lift your eyes, coming face to face with their crotches before lifting your head.

“___ I need to talk to you”, Jimin says.

Yoongi is on his feet instantly, pressing himself between you and Jimin. Jimin scowls in distaste, darkening his eyes at the older vampire.

“It’s alright, hyung”, Taehyung says, stepping in between them, “we come in peace, I promise you.”

“I know you do, it’s him I don’t trust.”

Jimin frowns.

“Take my word for it, he wants no harm”, Taehyung assures him.

“It’s okay Yoongi”, you say, tugging at his sleeve.

“Fine”, Yoongi gives in, retreating back to his sitting spot, “I’m keeping an eye on you, Park Jimin”, he warns.

“Yeah whatever”, Jimin dismisses him, changing his gaze to you. He stares at you without saying anything.

You lower your pen, “what do you want?”

“I wanted to-”, he stops himself, groaning loudly.

“Okay? Good for you?” you say, turning away to return to your drawings.

“No. Look at me, you fucking idiot”, Jimin hisses, earning himself a look from you, “okay fine, fine. Fine. Urgh”, he rolls his eyes, “I’m sorry that I forced you to drink my blood”, he says, “there. Is that good?” he is talking to Taehyung.

“Wow, so genuine”, you say sarcastically, “I feel so moved.”

“Don’t give me- shut your-”

“Jimin”, Taehyung interrupts him, “you told me that you would be truthful.”

Jimin glances at him, rolling his eyes.

“Fine. I’m sorry for forcing you and for blackmailing you and for basically risking your life. I shouldn’t have done that and I see now that it was wrong”, he says in one breath, looking at Taehyung for approval afterwards.

“And?” Taehyung stresses.

“And I’m sorry for being sassy about it”, he says to Yoongi, “you have all the right to be angry.”

“I want to murder you slowly”, Yoongi answers him in a cold voice.

Jimin blinks at him in bafflement, taking a step back. 

“But I won’t”, Yoongi finishes his sentence, “just as I won’t forgive you. You’re an awful person Park Jimin and one day, Taehyung will realise it too and you will lose the only person still willing to keep up with your shit. And when that day comes, I will bathe in your misery.”

“You’re dramatic, aren’t you?” Jimin murmurs, cocking his right eyebrow up.

“No. I’m not. I’m realistic. You think Namjoon made you the way you are?” Yoongi scoffs, “he’s not here anymore and yet you’re still awful. You’re just a shit person, that’s what you are”, he says, looking back at Jungkook, “you’re doing well, Kookie. Your finger placement is getting better and better”, he speaks softly, reaching out to caress Jungkook’s cheek with the back of his hand.

“You think so? I feel so silly doing…”

Their conversation fades into the background as you are busy, looking at Jimin and Taehyung. 

Taehyung nudges Jimin again. 

“What?” the latter hisses.

“Say it”, Taehyung whispers.

“Do I have to?”

“Yes, you promised.”

Jimin stomps his foot like a little boy, pulling a grimace of disgust.

“Say it”, Taehyung stresses with angry eyes.

“Fine”, Jimin gives in with a groan, flitting his eyes to you. “I’ll try to do better from now on”, he murmurs, looking so not at all happy about having to speak.

“You will?”

“Yes, I won’t drink your blood anymore or force you to drink mine and I also won’t try to….insult Yoongi.”

“I’ll still insult you, bastard”, Yoongi murmurs.

“You know what, you little shi-”

“Jimin”, Taehyung interrupts him, “you promised.”

“He called me a bastard.”

“Cause you are”, Yoongi throws back, locking eyes with Jimin.

They are equally angry, lost in the most intense staring battle known to mankind.

“You’re a bastard too”, Jimin growls, “and your nose looks-”

“Okay, that’s enough”, Taehyung steps in between, “Jimin, take a walk.”

“No?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because I tell you so.”

Jimin groans, “fine, I’m taking a walk. Fuck, you’re so annoying.”

And with that he turns around and stomps out of the room. The living room door falls closed loudly. The front door follows seconds later.

Taehyung turns, carrying a grimace of awkwardness.

“Well, this is embarrassing. I thought that he would truly try”, he says.

“That’s very sweet of you, Tae. Thank you for talking to him”, you say.

“I’m surprised he listened to you”, Yoongi murmurs, attention still on Jungkook.

“I took your words to heart. I am no mouse.”

Yoongi lifts his eyes, lips curling into a proud, barely there smile.

“You aren’t”, he says, painting a smile to Taehyung’s face.

“I’m so confused. What does this mean?” you murmur, looking between them.

“There is one person in this room who still deserves my apology however”, Taehyung says, “Jungkook.”

The latter messes up his play, fingers tightening around the guitar neck.

“I know that what I did to you was awful and unforgivable, but I wanted to apologize nonetheless.”

Jungkook turns his head, jaw tense and eyes cold in anger.

“I’m so sorry. You weren’t just a distraction. You never were and I felt awful saying those words to you. I still feel awful.”

“So why did you?” Jungkook spits.

“Because I was scared that if I didn’t push you away, Jimin would have done so for me. And that would have ended way worse.”

“I can handle a Year One reborn vampire, trust me”, Jungkook throws back, “you don’t have to protect me.”

“I know, but I still felt as if I had to.”

“Well, you hurt me way more than Jimin ever could have because you thought that you needed to protect me.”

“I’m sorry. I truly am.”

Jungkook gnaws on his lower lip in contemplation, eyes running up and down Taehyung’s frame.

“I’m so sorry”, Taehyung whispers.

“Mhm”, Jungkook hums and nods his head in acknowledgement, “thanks.”

“Not at all”, Taehyung exclaims, hurrying to sit down next to him, “you deserve to know.”

Jungkook cranes his neck, “why are you sitting so close?” he says with slight flustered disgust.

“He’s got the tendency to do that. I think it’s a tactic of his”, Yoongi murmurs.

“No, it is solely because I enjoy to be close to you”, Taehyung throws back, grinning boyishly.

Yoongi clicks his tongue, Jungkook looks back at the guitar. 

“Where were we, hyung?” Jungkook murmurs.

“Place your fingers like this”, Yoongi tells him, fixing the position of his fingers, “let’s start from the beginning, yeah?”

“Yeah okay”, Jungkook says, acting oh so busy by beginning to play the guitar whilst Yoongi acts oh so busy by watching him play.

You snicker, exchanging a look with Taehyung. Those two are so similar sometimes.

Taehyung leans closer to you, resting his chin on the table.

“Darling?” he asks cutely, looking up at you with big puppy eyes.

“Yes, Tae?”

He places something metal on the table and grins, pulling his hand away to reveal your ring to your eyes.

“My ring?” you gasp.

Taehyung giggles, “yes, I never got the chance to give it back to you.”

“Tae, thank you”, you say, gazing down at him.

He smiles shyly, nudging your hand with his fingers, “may I put it on for you?”

“About that”, you begin, present your hand to him.

Taehyung’s eyes flit to the ring on your finger.

“Huh?” he lets out.

“Yoongi made it for me. It’s made especially for me so it can’t slip off”, you explain.

“Oh”, Taehyung lets out and sneaks a glance at Yoongi. The latter is looking at him with a stern expression. Their gazes break. “I see”, Taehyung says and touches the side of his neck.

“I hope you understand”, you say, studying his features. He seems disappointed and just a little sad.

“Yes of course I do”, he says and smiles, “this ring will keep you very safe, I am sure of it”, he says and sits up. He lifts your hand to his lips, placing a sweet kiss upon your ring and then another on your knuckles. 

You relax. 

“It will keep you safer than I did”, he whispers and looks into your eyes, “you look beautiful with a ring on your finger, darling.”

Flustering greatly, you lower your eyes back to your drawing, scrunching your nose up.

Taehyung chuckles and kisses your hand once last time before he allows you to slip free. He takes his ring and turns.

“I don’t quite know what to do with this now”, he says and looks at Jungkook, “do you want to have a ring?”

Jungkook shows of his ring finger, “Yoongi already made a ring for me, sorry.”

“I see”, Taehyung murmurs and lowers his eyes.

“Keep it for yourself”, Yoongi tells him, “you’ll be protected from Namjoon’s compulsion.”

“I could do that, couldn’t I?” Taehyung says and slips it on, “mhm, I don’t feel different.”

“Cause that’s not how magic rings work. You won’t feel the effect until someone tries to fuck with you and fails”, Yoongi says.

“I see. Well, then I shall wear it from now on”, Taehyung says, showing off a small smile.

“Thank you for returning it though, Tae”, you say, making him look at you, “it was really thoughtful of you.”

“Of course”, Taehyung says. He rests his chin back on the table and gazes up at you, running his fingers up and down your back mindlessly.

You return to drawing, enjoying his innocent touches with soft tingles dancing down your spine.

“What are you working on, darling?” he asks you.

“Just some sketches for home”, you show them to him.

“What are those?” Taehyung asks, pointing at the little squares on your drawing.

“Those are supposed to be raised beds. It’s my plans for the meadow behind the greenhouse.”

“I see. Are you planning on planting vegetables there?”

“Yes and fruit trees and berries. Yoongi told me that I can change it to my liking. So I decided that I wanted to turn it into a food garden.”

“I see, that sounds lovely”, Taehyung gives you a smile, “and exactly like work you’d enjoy. It is a shame that it will be autumn soon.”

“Don’t say that, gosh it makes me sad.”

“Why?” Taehyung laughs, “isn’t autumn the best season? It is when we met”, he laces his fingers with you.

“If you say it like that”, you feel the need to giggle.

Taehyung joins in, lifting your hand to his lips to kiss your knuckles softly.

“And after autumn comes winter and that means that we can cuddle up under the dome and watch the snowflakes again.”

“That is if we can manage to return home in time”, you say, missing the guilty look Yoongi sends your way and the way he seems to lower his head right after.

“Of course we will”, Taehyung insists, “we will be home just in time for Christmas. Am I right, hyung?” he turns to Yoongi.

“I don’t know”, Yoongi answers him quietly, avoiding your eye contact at all cost.

“I believe we will and then we will hold the grandest winter holiday party the world has ever seen.”

“Really?” you gasp.

“Of course. We will decorate the entire estate, bake the sweetest cookies, give each other presents and sing songs all night.”

“That sounds like a dream”, you say, eyes sparkling at the thought of it.

“And I will cook the greatest meal you have ever tasted.”

“Yeah sure”, Yoongi scoffs, “because you can cook.”

“I’d like to argue differently. How difficult can a good holiday meal truly be?”

“Very actually. You have to get the flavours right and make sure that the meat is cooked just perfectly and make sure the side dishes compliment each other. It is a very tedious process. One that requires a lot of skill.”

“It sounds doable.”

“Please don’t. I’ll cook, you just take care of the decorations.”

Taehyung grins, “see? That’s how you get our Yoongi to agree to the holiday party.”

“Hypothetically”, Yoongi grumbles, “I’d cook hypothetically.”

“Do it for ___.”

“Stop trying to use this on me. I’m not doing everything just because of her.”

“Please Yoongi Boongie?” you try.

“Fine, I’ll do it. You can have your stupid party”, he gives in instantly, making you and Taehyung snicker. He rolls his eyes, “I’m surrounded by brats. All of you. One day I’ll whoop your asses.”

“What did I do?” Jungkook gasps.

“Nothing, you’re just generally a brat. Keep playing”, Yoongi grumbles, touching the back of the younger vampire’s head with soft fingers.

Jungkook grins, playing the melody almost perfectly. You listened to him play it for the past few days and you are so proud of all the progress he made. Like with everything Jungkook sets his mind on, he is making oh so much progress in such a short amount of time.

Taehyung turns to Jungkook, even going so far as to point his knees at him.

“You are playing really well, Jungkook”, he says.

Jungkook glances at him, “thanks”, he murmurs, playing even better as if he wanted to proof something to Taehyung.

“I have always loved the guitar. It is a very beautiful instrument and so versatile.”

“Yeah, I think so too.”

“Have you played it for long already?”

Jungkook shakes his head.

“No? Well then this is remarkable! You play so well that I thought you must have been playing it for years already.”

Jungkook stops his play.

“What are you doing?” he asks Taehyung.

“Nothing”, Taehyung laughs nervously, “I am merely telling you how it is.”

“You’re trying to get me to forgive you, aren’t you?”

“Perhaps a little?” Taehyung confesses, touching the side of his neck, “I must confess that I miss our talks.”

“You can talk to my hand”, Jungkook says and lifts his hand, making Taehyung’s shoulders sag in sadness. He studies his sad expression, almost drowning in the scent of honesty lingering behind it. He inhales deeply and exhales loudly through his nose.

Wordlessly, he takes off the guitar strap and puts the instrument onto Taehyung’s lap.

“Can you play too?” he asks.

“Me? Oh no”, Taehyung laughs nervously, “I couldn’t.”

“Try it”, Jungkook insists.

“Oh dear, you are asking me things”, Taehyung murmurs, lowering his head to look at the guitar instead. He places his fingers into the right position for a C chord, strumming it as quietly as possible. Next he tries to go for a B chord, messing up when he tries to change to a D chord. He lifts his head, cheeks rosy in embarrassment.

“See? I told you, I am no good”, he says.

“You’re right, that was awful”, Jungkook says, making Taehyung chuckle.

“I feel so embarrassed”, he confesses.

Jungkook’s face morphs into an expression of amused happiness.

“It’s fine. I heard that you’re really good on the violin.”

“Who told you that?”

“___. She says that you play it really well.”

“She does?” Taehyung looks at you.

“I do. You’re really good. You should show us.”

“No, I don’t want to bother you”, Taehyung says honestly.

“Show us”, you encourage him, but Taehyung shakes his head.

“Do it”, Yoongi says, painting the greatest expression of surprise onto Taehyung’s face.

“Really?” he asks quietly to which Yoongi nods his head.

“If that is so, I will get my violin urgently!” Taehyung says and jumps to his feet to disappear out of the room.

“I like this”, you say, looking at Yoongi and Jungkook with a love drunk smile as you rest your cheek on your propped-up hand for support.

Jungkook looks a little shy whilst Yoongi looks at you with the softest eyes ever.

“I have returned”, Taehyung announces himself, “what do you want to hear? I can play almost everything.”

“Tschaikovsky”, Jungkook says.

“A lover for romance, I see. He created the most beautiful melodies”, Taehyung says, lifting his violin to his shoulder, “very well. Here is Melody, Op 42 number three. Solo version”, he says with a chuckle and begins playing.

You feel warmth well up in your heart listening to him play. You haven’t heard him play ever since Jimin died. And even afterwards when he returned and life should have been easier for Taehyung, he didn’t play. Almost as if something was still weighing him down. Something you perhaps deep down knew of and yet even speaking it aloud felt impossible to do. Even now you don’t want to speak it aloud for right now it was taking a walk and out of your mind.

You are so happy that Taehyung finally took up his play tonight. His eyes seem to glimmer in a sort of aliveness with which they haven’t done so in way too long. His back seems so much straighter too, straightening even more once he finishes and you grant him a round of applause.

Even Jungkook claps, looking highly impressed.

“Thank you, thank you”, Taehyung says, bowing deeply.

“That was really good”, Jungkook says.

“You truly think so?” Taehyung asks to which he nods his head.

“It was incredible”, you say, standing up just so you can take him into a hug.

Taehyung stumbles into it, resting his chin on your shoulder with widened eyes and his arms stretched from his body in surprise.

“I missed your play so much, my darling”, you whisper, squeezing him as tightly as possible.

“Oh”, Taehyung lets out, not knowing what else to say.

You step back, keeping his face between your hands in a gentle hold.

“You have to play more for us, please.”

“I don’t know. Should I really?”

“Of course. Right guys? One more song?” you say, addressing the others.

“Sure”, Jungkook agrees.

“I’d be down”, Yoongi says.

“Well then I want to play with you, hyung”, Taehyung says.

“Me?” Yoongi gasps.

“Yes, just like we did in the past. The melodies we created.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I haven’t played them in ages.”

“Please, just one song.”

“No, let’s not do that.”

“Please”, you beg, “I want to hear you guys’ music.”

Yoongi studies your face.

“Me too, I want to hear too”, Jungkook throws in.

Yoongi looks at the piano in the corner of the room.

“Please.”

“Fine, one song”, Yoongi gives in with a grumble and stands up, “don’t come crying to me if I mess up”, he says, stomping to the piano and sitting down on the stool aggressively.

He rolls his neck twice then cracks his knuckles.

“What song?”

“Dance of the Leaves. The fun one”, Taehyung says, “you know it well”, he adds, lifting his violin into readiness.

“Fuck, I can’t believe I’m doing this”, Yoongi murmurs before giving Taehyung a nod to signal him that he was ready.

Taehyung begins playing, Yoongi joins him at the right time. Together they create the most fun two minutes and twenty eight seconds of your life, almost making you squeal because of what you can bear witness to. Not once they mess up, harmonising perfectly. Almost as if they had played this song a million times before and perhaps they did. It would explain why they manage to fit together without struggle, why they instantly found each other’s rhythm and why they worked together so well. It makes you wonder if there were happier times between them in the past and that makes you so incredibly happy, because it means that such times can be achieved again.

They end it by exchanging a look and while Taehyung seems to want to deepen it, Yoongi breaks it instantly, touching the side of his neck.

“Oh my god!” you can’t stop the squeals anymore, running to them, “this was amazing! Holy moly, you guys are so talented! I have goosebumps!”

You tug Taehyung with you just so you can tug Yoongi to his feet and then take both of them into a tight hug.

“I’m crying, this was incredible!”

Taehyung chuckles, petting the back of your head with fond eyes.

Yoongi rubs his hand up and down your back, “don’t cry.”

You lift your head, grinning up at them.

“You guys are the best people ever”, you tell them, beaming in happiness.

“Oh”, Yoongi flusters, lowering his eyes.

Taehyung smiles brightly, stubbing the tip of your nose with his own.

“Tell me, have you ever tried dancing to it?” he asks.

“Of course not, that’s ridiculous”, Yoongi says instantly, wiggling out of the hug just in case.

“I haven’t, is it any fun?” you ask Taehyung. 

“Of course it is”, Taehyung says, “come, follow my steps.”

He begins playing a melody on the violin, showing off the steps slowly. You giggle, following him after having watched him enough times.

“Exactly. You’re a natural”, Taehyung exclaims, laughing happily. He increases the speed of his play and with it your steps. 

“Oh god, not so fast”, you laugh, reaching for his waist. 

“You can do it, look, kick your foot just like this”, Taehyung laughs as you follow him, “perfect!”

He jumps, turning around with it. His eyes lock onto Yoongi. 

“Yeah no”, he says, sitting down on the piano stool instantly. 

“Come on hyung, I know that you can do it”, Taehyung says, slowing down the play solely for showing the steps to Yoongi. 

“No. I’m not dancing. That’s ridiculous.”

“Please.”

“No”, hisses, crossing his arms in front of his chest. 

Taehyung doesn’t let his mood get spoiled, twirling around just to serenade Jungkook as he dances his way to him. 

Jungkook stumbles back, looking nervous yet intrigued. 

“I don’t know if I can”, he says, watching with great intent. 

“Of course you can”, Taehyung says, doing a little curtsey, “your turn, you watched the steps.”

Jungkook tries, painting a blinding smile onto Taehyung’s face. He squeaks out a laugh and speeds up his play, mirroring Jungkook’s steps. 

The two vampires do a synchronised kick and jump, almost toppling over in laughter afterwards. 

“You’re a natural, Kookie”, Taehyung says, using the melody to dance his way to you in swirls.  

You welcome him with a squeaky giggle, starting your dance with a little jump. One that Taehyung answers with a jump and twirl, making you laugh with it. Oh it has been too long since he last danced with you. It is a first that he is both the dancer and the musician in such a situation. It makes the entire moment so much more fun. He is so talented and such a delight. 

Not long and Jungkook has danced his way closer to you, joining the dance by taking your hand and twirling you three times.  

“Dizzy”, you squeal, stumbling into him.

“This is so much fun”, Jungkook giggles, holding both your hands to do a little kick with you. 

“It’s so fun”, you agree, cheeks hurting in happiness.

“See? I told you”, Taehyung says, twirling away from you whilst bending his back in his quick violin play. He is still dancing as he does, locking his eyes back on Yoongi who seems interested in the whole scene until he feels Taehyung’s eyes on him. 

He shifts his eyes away then, closing his legs and hiding his hands between them. 

Taehyung stands himself right in front of Yoongi, forcing him to look at him if he wanted to or not. 

“Join us”, he says. 

Yoongi shakes his head. 

“Live. Remember?”

Yoongi lifts his head, making eye contact with Taehyung. 

“Fuck”, he presses out, forcing himself to stand up. 

Taehyung grins, twirling back around to dance his way back to you and Jungkook, who have stumbled into giggly hugs and dance steps by now. You break away again when Taehyung returns, bringing Yoongi with him. 

“My love”, you exclaim, falling around Yoongi’s neck, “I’m so happy that you decided to join.”

“I was forced”, Yoongi murmurs, holding you so tightly.

“Oh hush, you’ll love it. Follow my steps, I’ll do it slowly”, you tell him, leading him whilst holding his hands. 

Yoongi follows you with furrowed brows. They aren’t furrowed in anger, but pure concentration. 

“You are doing so well”, Taehyung says, keeping the melody slower just for Yoongi to learn. 

“Now a jump”, you say, doing it instantly.

Yoongi does it too late, stumbling to catch up with you again.

“What the hell are you doing? Why are you jumping?” he whines, making you laugh. 

“You are so much fun”, you say, twirling without warning him first. 

Taehyung watches you with a smile and speeds up his play again. Jungkook catches you, getting right into jumping with you. You circle Yoongi as you do, who acts like he doesn’t enjoy it but is blushing like crazy whilst standing completely still.

And soon the four of you find yourselves in a moment of utter happiness. Even Yoongi dares to do a little kick at some point, holding your hands as he does and feeling so happy that he laughs afterwards and does it again. At some point you manage to do an especially impressive combination of steps with Jungkook, showing off by including one of the many swing steps you practiced with Taehyung. 

“You are so wonderful, darling”, Taehyung exclaimed as that happened, earning himself your attention. And while you danced with him as he serenaded you with happy melodies, Jungkook tried to dance with Yoongi and succeeded. He did so groggily but with fond eyes, even letting Jungkook twirl him. 

At some point it also happened that the living room door opened and Hoseok followed by Seokjin and Emma entered the room

“Uh what?” Emma gasps.

“What’s going on here?” Hoseok asks.

Taehyung, who was previously busy with getting a big smooch from you, lifts his head. 

“Dancing. Come, join us”, he says, letting you pull him back into a kiss afterwards. 

“That’s so funky!” Hoseok exclaims and joins you without hesitation. Somehow he knows how to move instantly, doing the steps with his own take on them. He makes it look so smooth and fun. 

Seokjin bows at Emma. 

“M’lady”, he says, offering her his hand.

“You’re such a charmer, my moon”, she laughs, letting herself get dragged onto the improvised dance floor here in the middle of the living room.

You look around yourself. They are all here. Your family. Having fun and laughing together. This is your reality. Not dark corridors and shadowy figures, but laughter and people who love you. You look back at Taehyung, who seems to only have eyes for you. You kiss him, even if he messes up his play because of it. 

“I fucking love you”, you say, squeezing Taehyung’s face after kissing him oh so deeply. 

Taehyung smiles, “I love you too”, he says. 

“I feel so alive, fuck”, you say, breaking away from him just so you can dance on your own. 

You meet Hoseok on your journey, laughing and twirling with him until you feel dizzy. You stumble into Jungkook, holding his hands and doing kicks until he accidentally ends up kicking your ankle. 

“I’m so sorry”, he gasps, but you only laugh and pull him into a big smooch on the lips.

It leaves him standing frozen on the spot for a good ten seconds afterwards, lips parted and eyes big. It takes Hoseok to rip him out of his trance. 

“Dance with me, JK”, he says, taking his hands.

Your journey ends at Yoongi, who is sitting on the couch by now. You basically fall into him after twirling too many times, butt colliding with the soft cushion. 

“Careful”, he says, placing his hand on your lower back to stop you from tumbling off.

“I’m okay”, you tell him, resting your hands on his thigh. You giggle, “I twirled too much”

“I can see that.”

“Why are you sitting here?”

“I can’t dance.”

“You can. You looked good doing it.”

Yoongi studies your features.

“I don’t know”, he murmurs, “can’t I just watch you guys? I feel better doing that.”

“Of course”, you nod your head, stumbling to your feet, “do you really not want to? One more please?”

Yoongi takes your hand and kisses your knuckles, “go princess, I’ll be watching you.”

“Really?”

He nods his head. Your hand slips out of his grasp, leaving behind just the slightest hint of a cold shiver. Is he acting that way because he is angry at you for what you did to Suzy?

“___”, Jungkook interrupts the tightening of your chest, twirling you away from Yoongi without having noticed what had happened before, “come on, let’s jump together”, he says, taking your hands to jump in a circle with him.

It is only him who jumps first whilst you just turn with him. But then he looks so happy and content with what he is doing that you soon feel the need to jump right with him. Jungkook begins laughing when that happens, soon joined by Seokjin and Emma and later Hoseok. Now you are holding hands, jumping and laughing all whilst circling Taehyung who barely even manages to play the right notes as he laughs way too much to concentrate. 

“What is going on here?” it is the sound of Jimin’s voice that stops your dance.

“Jimin! Come join us”, Taehyung says, dancing his way to the black haired vampire. 

“What are you doing?” 

“Dancing. We’re dancing”, Taehyung says, still smiling oh so brightly, “join us too.”

“Why should I?”

“It’s fun. Come on, you know those steps.”

“Are you out of your mind? Why should I dance right now?”

Taehyung stumbles, messing up the dance steps. 

“Because it’s fun”, he says.

“You’re so childish sometimes. I don’t have time for that.”

Taehyung messes up his play to the point where he completely forgets to play.

“But-”

“Come now, I want to leave. It stinks like sweat in here”, Jimin says, trying to get Taehyung to move.

“No”, Taehyung says, lowering his violin, “I don’t want to leave right now. I like spending time with them, stop trying to drag me away all the time.”

Jimin blinks in bafflement, taking a step back.

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me. I am tired of always missing out on everything just because you are jealous and can’t stand it when I have other friends besides you.”

“Wow”, Jimin clicks his tongue, “I see how it is. Wow.” 

And with that he turns to storm out of the house again. Taehyung flinches as the door falls closed.

He turns, looking at all of you with fearful eyes. 

“I, I should probably check up on him”, he says, “right?”

“No darling, stay”, you say.

“I think I was too harsh”, Taehyung whispers.

Yoongi closes the distance between him and Taehyung. He places his hand on his shoulder.

“No, you weren’t”, he says, “come on”, Yoongi says softly, caressing Taehyung at the back of his head as he watched him do to himself so many times before, “do you want to play another one of our songs?”

“You wrote so many songs. You guys are so cool”, you say, hurrying to Taehyung as well to hold his waist, “can’t you play it for us, sweetest?”

“Yeah, we wanna hear”, Hoseok agrees. 

“I bet it sounds wonderful”, Seokjin says.

Taehyung lowers his eyes. 

“Fine, let’s play another song”, he gives in, allowing you and Yoongi to push him to the piano. 

“Let’s go!”

“That’s what I like to hear!”

“Tae! Tae! Tae!”

The others are cheering, doing so with lots of enthusiasm. 

Taehyung plays two notes and then he stops. He lowers the violin.

“What’s wrong? It was good”, Yoongi says, staring at Taehyung with worried eyes.

“I don’t want to play”, Taehyung whispers, “I’m too upset.”

“My darling”, you gasp, hurrying to his side hastily, “I’m here.”

Taehyung falls into your chest, resting his head on your shoulder. 

“Why did nothing change?” he whispers.

“What do you mean?”

“Why did nothing change? Why am I, I still so sad?”

You look at Yoongi for help.

“He means that Jimin didn’t change even after waking up from death”, he explains and judging by how much closer Taehyung presses himself, he was right. 

You feel so sad, squeezing Taehyung with all you got. You need to squeeze the pain out of him, hold him so tightly that he knows that he will never be alone. 

“I thought that my grief would never end and then it did until it didn’t”, Taehyung whispers weakly, “why can’t I be happy?”

“Because you’re hanging out with an asshole”, Yoongi says, earning himself a warning look from you. He closes his mouth, looking just a little lost for words.

“What Yoongi wanted to say is that Jimin treated you very poorly lately and you have all the right to be upset because of it. But you have to know that you aren’t alone in this”, you tilt Taehyung’s head up, cupping his cheeks, “I will never leave your side and neither will the others.”

“I don’t want to fight”, Taehyung presses out sadly, “I, I never wanted to fight”, he says, shaking his head vigorously, “I don’t want to fight with anyone here.”

“We know, darling Tae. We know that you don’t”, you assure him.

“I’m so fucking upset”, Taehyung presses out.

Yoongi stands up to leave after giving Taehyung’s head a little pat.

“Where are you going?” you ask him.

“I have to talk to someone”, he says and closes the door behind him.

“He’s going to talk to Jimin, isn’t he?” Seokjin asks.

“I think so.”

“Do you think that he’ll finally kill him?”

Taehyung lowers his head sadly, whimpering in the desire to cry.

“No, he won’t”, you say instantly, pulling Taehyung against your chest, “I told him not to and he respects that. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Oh no, I wasn’t worried, I was actually-” Seokjin stops talking when he sees you cradling a terribly broken Taehyung, “oh, uhm. I was actually just saying that I…hope he doesn’t, uhm, break his promise.”

“And he won’t. I trust him unconditionally.”

“I don’t want to fight”, Taehyung whispers.

“We know that sweetest, don’t worry.”

“It’s not your fault, Taehyung”, Emma says, “we figured out by now that you don’t want what Jimin wants.”

“Yeah totally”, Hoseok throws in, “tonight was really cool. And I think that you’re really fun to hang out with.”

Taehyung nods his head, acknowledging them that way. 

“I want to sleep”, he whispers.

“Of course, let’s get you to bed. You don’t mind guys, do you?” 

“Not at all. Sleep well, uh, both of you”, Seokjin says.

“Dream well”, Emma says, caressing Taehyung’s arm on your way out, “you’ve got us, Taehyung.”

“You’re really funky, Tae!” Hoseok calls after you as well.

“See? You’re not alone my darling. You’ve got all of us.”

Taehyung rests his head against you. He isn’t alone. For weeks and weeks and weeks he felt so utterly alone, so helpless and abandoned. For weeks he felt unloved, unwanted, judged and maybe even hated. And now he doesn’t anymore. He isn’t alone anymore. Taehyung sobs in pure relief, drawing closer to you 

“Almost there darling, almost there”, you assure him, holding him oh so tightly.

You do his skincare after your shared shower, kissing his features softly with every chance you get. Taehyung enjoys it with closed eyes and his hands always making sure to hold a piece of you. Whether it be your hips, your arm, your shoulders or your hand. He needs just one piece of you and then the tranquillity of being with you can’t leave him.

You open the bathroom door when someone knocks at the door as you were busy with brushing out his hair. It is Jungkook in his pyjamas and his hair fluffy from brushing it.

“Hey Kookie, what are you doing here?”

“I thought that I’d come over before sleep and check on you. Tonight was crazy, right?” he says, claiming the spot on the bathtub next to Taehyung.

“It was pretty crazy, but also fun. Taehyung, you play so well”, you say, caressing his soft hair. 

“Thank you. I had fun too”, he says, but sounds just the slightest bit sad. 

You study him and then Jungkook. I’ll try, he tells you with a lift of his eyebrows.

“I’m outside for a bit, I’m getting our pjs”, you say.

Taehyung nods his head.

You disappear afterwards, closing the door behind you on your way out. 

Silence surrounds them. Jungkook turns his head to Taehyung. Taehyung doesn’t. He just keeps it lowered, picking at his skin.

“I get now why you did it”, Jungkook says.

Taehyung halts and turns his head, eyes widened in shock. 

Jungkook sends him an honest smile, the kind which doesn’t show his teeth but is still incredibly warm. 

“You were so cool tonight. I had so much fun dancing with you and the others”, he says. 

Taehyung looks at Jungkook’s lips.

“Fuck”, he presses out, “don’t say that.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m vulnerable tonight and words like that make me want to do things I’ll regret later.”

“What things?”

“Things like grab your silly face and kiss you until you’re breathless because quite frankly, you’re one of the sweetest men I know and it’s driving me insane that you aren’t being kissed that way.”

Jungkook lets out a disbelieved chuckle.

“Don’t laugh at me, I can’t bear this tonight.”

Jungkook takes Taehyung’s hand from his lap just so he can pull it on his own. 

“Why don’t you?” Jungkook asks in a whisper.

Taehyung looks at his lips and shakes his head. 

“You’re so unfair.”

“Why am I unfair?”

“Because-”, Taehyung doesn’t finish his sentence, instead he grabs Jungkook’s face to pull him into a kiss. 

He whimpers, squeezing his eyes shut. And as Taehyung completely loses himself to the kiss Jungkook stumbles to his feet just so that he can claim the emptiness between Taehyung’s legs. He cups the older vampire’s cheeks, tilting his head up as far as it can go. Taehyung sighs shakily, wrapping his arms around Jungkook’s waist while his fingers seem to almost rip his shirt from how desperately he tries to hold him. It is the kind of desperation which aches for one simple thing. The comfort of another person’s closeness. 

And Jungkook gives it to him by pulling him to his feet and hugging him to his body. They stumble, colliding with the sink and breaking the kiss that way.

They are both out of breath, chasing the other with desperate hands. This is everything they craved for weeks.

“Fuck, Kook”, Taehyung croaks, clasping Jungkook’s face with clammy, desperate fingers, “holy fuck. I’m so fucked.”

“No you’re not. You’ve got us, we’re here for you.”

“It’s not that. But you’ve got me breathless”, Taehyung says, laughing softly.

Jungkook chuckles, “wasn’t that my job?”

“I messed up somewhere along the way.”

At the Jungkook full on laughs, shoving the older vampire only to pull him back into another kiss afterwards.

The kind which makes Taehyung’s knees wobble and for his body to fall into him. 

You manage to walk in on them kissing, stopping in the doorway only to stare. 

Well, that is definitely not how you expected that conversation to go, but you aren’t complaining.

Jungkook seems to notice your presence, breaking the kiss and turning his head. Taehyung chases him, whimpering softly as his lips try so hard to steal another kiss.

“You’re back”, Jungkook says, finally bringing Taehyung back to reality. 

He turns his head, “darling?” his voice is raspy from kissing with so much emotion.

“I feel terrible. I didn’t think that you were making out like that, should I leave again?”

“No, stay”, Taehyung reaches for you and tugs you to him. He places his hand on the back of your head, holding it still so he can kiss you. He does so by pressing you against Jungkook’s chest, using the position to tug Jungkook closer too, caging you in between their bodies. 

“Tae, mgnm”, you get out, flustering incredibly because his eagerness surprises you greatly. 

Taehyung whimpers, breaking the kiss with trembling lips. 

“I need affection”, he confesses, “please.”

“Hey, of course. That’s why I brought you the softest pyjama. You’ll feel so cozy in it. Do you want to put it on?”

“Yes please”, Taehyung begs, shedding his bathrobe without shame. 

“Come, let’s do it outside”, you say, tugging him to the bed to sit him down on it. 

Taehyung lifts his arms to make it easier for you. He stands up when you need to tug his pants up and then he lets you hold his head and caress his cheeks with his eyes closed. 

“You’re so handsome, my sweetest”, you whisper, “those pjs fit you so well.” 

Taehyung smiles softly.

“Aren’t they so soft?”

“Yes, so soft”, Taehyung answers you, dropping his head out of your hands just so he can bury it in your chest, arms wrapping around your waist, “you are so much softer.”

You place a kiss upon the crown of his head, staying close by keeping your nose buried in his hair afterwards. 

“Let’s get under the sheets yeah? I’ll hold you just like this”, you suggest to which Taehyung nods his head and then crawls under the blanket. 

You join him quickly, welcoming him back in your arms. Taehyung hides back in your chest, shivering as he exhales shakily. 

“Should I leave?” Jungkook asks. 

“No, stay”, Taehyung says, “please.”

“Okay.”

Jungkook gets on the bed behind Taehyung, crawling under the blanket so he is able to be his big spoon. 

“Like this?”

“Yes. Thank you. You are both so warm”, Taehyung whispers, falling asleep moments later.

[SCRAPPED DESIGN?]

my insanity accidentally uhm. enabled me to think of like a whole other 4 ocs so...

meet SD-R !! more below cut

i had to actly sit down and consider what i was making w this kid because that adds a whole other layer of freakin lore that i gotta plan so,,

i don't really like his design atm... so this is most likely NOT the final design, more of a trial?

anyway the main idea i had for him was that he's a project along with his two other squadmates created by the last surviving humans on earth to combat the absolute solver/cyn

another example of people creating things that they can't control !!!! i love it !!! anyway in order to combat AS, who is basically a god (or the devil, however you wanna see it), they thought that they should make their own god

crazy genshin shit ik

SD-R is one of the first of the project, along with his squadmates SD-A and K

R is the leader of the squad, but he doesn't pilot (that's A's job) and K is kinda just there,, haven't had a proper purpose for them yet but might make them a priest disassembly drone playing on the whole cross usb thing idea i liked it

so basically humans facing extinction who didn't learn from past mistakes though HEY!!! what if we made a GOD DRONE or something like that because realistically speaking i don't think that's possible but seeing how far the AS got it may as well be tbh. anyway.

his voicebox doesn't work because of having a 'true voice' which affects humans so they disabled it,, the chains keep him down to earth in a sense

i think i'm trying to do too much making a god-ish drone thing 💀 please smack me

you see this little icon !!! it's like their symbol (like how the AS has its own little triangle hexagon thing) :)

i think i might switch out the demon wings for like angel wings or something but erm haven't decided yet !!!! I'M THINKING TOO MUCH GRR

i js wanna make em look a lil more diff since they're meant to be differentiated and stuff but my creativity isn't working tdy and my brain is melted lol

his hairs tied up btw idk where that went but i wrote it on the ref sheet and uhm deleted it somehow?? i didn't realise sorry sobbing

a silly little paper doodle for R,,

I SAT HERE AND WONDERED WHY HE LOOKED SO OFF TO ME ITS BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE A HOMESTUCK OC OR SMT ill change the colours

will delete this post eventually probably

[pu40hannah]

I wanna know more about UniCat/Stella Greyber in your Poppy Playtime Au

(SORRY I COULDNT ANSWER THIS BECAUSE OF EXAMS D:)

I am unsure on whether you're talking about the hour of joy version or the cartoon version so ill info dump both xd (cartoon first. since hour of joy version kindza has body gore it will be under the cut. just incase!)

uhmm first of all since shes a mix of craftycorn and catnap she has half of their personalities. she likes drawing AND napping! her sleep schedule is really bad she doodles in the middle of the night and sleeps at like 9-10 AM. she either wakes up at noon to go outside or sleeps until the evening. Unicat and Doggydovey (the Dogday for my AU which is Bobby+Dogday) are really close friends. you get what i mean. Unicat also really likes flowers and grows a bunch of them in her house too! Now for her personality.. Shes Talkative, Cheerful, and Outgoing.

iii cant think of anything else rn so onto the hour joy version! the good part..

Unified Unicat (Stella Greyber (hey the spot was free for now so i took it lol...))

Unicat was a scrapped character from the Smiling Critters who got split into two different ones. Them being Catnap and Craftycorn. Only a single episode and toy has been made for her. The reason why she got scrapped is due to how complex the design is compared to the others. One experiment has also been made using Stella Greyber as the subject. The experiment could exhale a much more dense sleeping gas compared to Catnap's which may lead to death if exposed to way too much of it. It had most of its intelligence remained on it which led to it escaping the lab whilst also killing everyone inside it. Now it hides everywhere in the facility in hopes of not getting caught.

AFTER THE HOUR OF JOY

Stella lost the right half of her face and arm after the events of hour of joy. It is unkown how this happened. While exploring around the playcare the prototype came in and placed a small robotic arm on the ground. Stella refused to take it at first knowing it was an offer but she couldn't survive with only one arm. She took the arm that oddly looks like the prototypes and put it in the place where her right arm would be. The arm dug into her and after some pain she could use the arm. Though she wasn't going to obey the prototype who thought Stella completely forgot everything. She continued exploring the Playcare. Finding a backpack and putting whatever she thinks is useful in it to survive. She also helps toys that are in the need of help along the way. Shes sort of a caretaker of the place. Her first encounter with Catnap was scary at first. It approached her slowly and examined her. They were both pretty quiet and curious. After noticing her robotic arm which reminded it of the prototype, it laid upside down like a normal cat would. Stella was scared at first but she sat there and gave him headpats for a little bit. Then they both fell asleep there. When Stella woke up Catnap was already gone. And so after befriending the most dangerous experiment in Playcare with the prototype unaware of it. She continued filling her bag and helping poor toys. Whilst also meeting up with Catnap every once in a while.

i was gonn add somethin about dogday but just imagine that she saves dogday and hides him somewhere in the playcare without catnap knowing.

tis all i got for now..

[superpyodan]

do Alex and Kenny ever get married? :3

rubs my hands together like a fly

YES. and i have a LOT to say about it. and some doodles to accompany it. so please bear with me.

first of all !!!

it takes Alex and Kenny a while to get married. like, five, six years? because they both have some complicated feelings about marriage. kenny’s one of those people who doesn’t necessarily agree with marriage as a concept, whereas alex feels weird about the concept of getting married while being in a gay relationship. which is obviously something he works through, and then eventually he manages to convince kenny to marry him (lol). however, it’s kenny who proposes to alex. and alex cries his eyes out like a baby, obviously.

SO !!!!!!!

immediately prior to the wedding, haley, emily and evelyn help alex get ready. haley is STRESSED TO HELL, because she is so determined to make everything perfect. but she’s also an emotional mess, because like, HER BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED. (also, in the alex & kenny canon, abby and haley are girlfriends and get married a couple of years before alex and kenny do.)

shane and abby help kenny get ready!!!

kenny does not know how to tie a tie. because he is a fucking idiot. so shane does it for him, and abby does kenny’s hair!!! for kenny, the pre-wedding preparations are a lot more chill, tbh. he’s personally less anxious than alex is, and abby and shane are just being silly and cracking jokes and stuff. good vibes

the wedding:

(LOOK AT KENNY’S HAIR😭😭❤️❤️❤️ ABBY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️)

they get married. on the beach, in the summer. emily made alex’s suit — they chose to both wear blue, because it’s kenny’s favourite colour :’) kenny doesn’t like wearing suits though, so they came to a compromise and decided that he didn’t have to wear a jacket.

sam is kenny’s best man, which is the most hilarious thing of all time, because sam and kenny have… history. he didn’t initially ask sam, he asked abby, but abby suggested sam instead because it would be funny. so. yeah sam is the best man and everyone makes jokes about it all day.

evelyn walks alex down the aisle. jas is the flower girl (starts crying)

here is (very sloppily drawn JHSKSJ) abby and haley being VERY proud of themselves because they entirely take personal responsibility for alex and kenny’s relationship. AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO !!!!!

and here’s the full doodle page i did 😢

id like to add that like . the wedding is very emotional for them, because kenny never thought anyone would ever love him enough to marry him, and alex never thought he’d be comfortable in his sexuality to the point where he could not only be in a relationship with a man, but MARRIED to one. like…. i wanna cry just thinking about it tbh because they both went through a lot to get here and im so happy for them 😭😭😭😭😭😭 talking about them like they’re real people wtf

i will BE QUIET now but thank you for asking me this question i had a lot of fun with it 😭🫶🏻 alex and kenny my beloveds….

[star-fandoms]

Star Rail ocs!!

Since I posted a little doodle of some oc x canon Argenti art earlier I wanted to share some of my other hsr oc designs!! They're still in early development and I specifically wanna add more details to their outfits so they look like they actually belong in hsr

The first hsr oc I designed is a dog girl named Honey! I had the idea for her which contributed to getting me back into hsr(as well as aa absolutely stunning Argenti edit to Malice Mizer)

Anyways I do really like Honey's design a lot with what I have down, you can tell I DID NOT feel like trying to come up with an entire outfit yet LOL!! Anyways I saw another Arlan x oc and then like the idea just came to mind. I thought since Arlan likes dogs it'd be kinda cute! Also Honey's outfit is very clearly inspired off of Asta's which I think is pretty cute since Asta most likely saved Honey. I def need to do more planning on Honey's backstory and role on Herta Space Station and in the story in general!

The second one I had an idea for is a foxian from the Xianzhou Luofu! I have been interested in fa language for a WHILE and have wanted to make an oc who uses fan language to communicate and fights with fans(i think fan weapons are sick as hell!)

Much like Honey I still wanna work on her outfit, and I need to work on her backstory and part in the story. Baozhai can speak, but she only speaks to those she trusts, but even then she'll still turn to fan language when she's nervous to voice something(hence fanning that she loves Blade cause she's too embarrassed to confess out loud, and I dont think Blade would know fan language so she'd find comfort in still confessing while knowing he has no clue what she's conveying). Baozhai's has very honest expressions though and can't hold back laughter well to save her life, so really the only time most people hear Baozhai's voice is when she's laughing/wheezing. I also think Baozhai would be close to Tingyun and think of her as an older sister before...y'know all of THAT happened LOLOL! Technically, Baozhai is part of one of the original hsr ocs I made, along with my version of Stelle and Rue! She has changed a bit, such as speaking with fan language and becoming more reserved then she already was.

Speaking of Rue! Here's a little comic I made with her and Jing Yuan!

Rue is the first hsr oc I made and she's stuck closest to her original concept. Rue is from Belobog, specifically the underworld section! She's lived her life pretty much sick and dying on a hospital bed unable to get the treatment that she needed. You can bet that when she did get treatment and started getting better, she begged Stelle and the Astral Express to take her with them, she's finally free and wants to explore the world.

rating changes made in natla: episode 1

I wanna be clear that I overall enjoyed the series. Most things I had problems with were actually pretty minor.

Planning to attack the Earth Kingdom as a distraction from the Air Nomad genocide: kind of cool I guess but still a weird and random way to open a whole ass show with these randos. Maybe a good way to set up the White Lotus I guess. Cool excuse to see Sozin. Reaction: Neutral

Kyoshi narrating the introduction: Cool. Makes sense. We haven’t met Katara yet. Also cool that they didn’t stick to the original opening monologue bc that wouldn’t have fit as well actually. Reaction: Positive

Showing life in the Air Temple before it was attacked. I mean I get it. It shows Aang’s reaction with Gyatso and kind of leads us to understand where he comes from. It makes his loss hurt that much more. Reaction: Positive

Great Comet Festival: Obviously an excuse to get everyone together for the Genocide but cool I guess. Reaction: Neutral

Aang just going away to clear his head instead of running away from being the Avatar: I get it. It’s to make him seem more likable, not irresponsible. I really don’t care either way. Reaction: Neutral.

Showing the Air Nation genocide: It didn’t last too long and it wasn’t as terribly graphic as I thought it could be. It fit in with the tone and narrative. Did it add anything to the point that it seemed necessary? No. Reaction: Neutral.

Katara using the Fire Nation ship as a place to practice her bending? Badass. Reaction: Positive

Showing more of Sokka’s duties/leadership/burden around the SWT village: love it, delicious, I’m obsessed. Also leaning into Hakoda’s absence. Great. Reaction: Positive

Finding Aang for some random reason that isn’t Katara being pissed at Sokka’s sexism: Honestly I wasn’t bothered by this the first time around but now it’s clear to me this is the first in a long line of choices that make Katara’s character more boring and like. peaceful so. Reaction: Negative

Zuko’s fanatical journal and doodle wall: Love it. Super on brand. Reaction: Positive

Aang already having the bison whistle: whatever. Reaction: Neutral

The SWT having a longhouse: It’s a small change but I love how much more developed the set is… Reaction: Positive

Gran Gran doing the opening monologue from the original show: it fit but I’m sorry it was soooo cringe oh my god….. Reaction: Negative

Let me just mention this here but it’s kind of weird that Katara doesn’t mention her mother’s necklace in the whole show when it was so important to the plot of the original show??? Just another facet of her character ignored I guess. Reaction: Negative

The weird claw thing the Firebenders do: it’s ugly lol. Reaction: Negative

Iroh starting real early trying to convince Zuko his dad sucks: their relationship is so much cooler and better in this show and I can’t really explain it. But I like this and it fits. Reaction: Positive

Sokka’s real ass engineering and defensive skills on full display? Huge love. Reaction: Positive

That one boy close in age to Sokka. Why is he here? Wasn’t Sokka supposed to be the only one left? Glad he gets a boyfriend though. Reaction: Neutral

Iroh’s conversation with Aang on the Fire Nation ship: it’s whatever. An interesting choice to have him tip his hand so early. I have to believe there’s a reason for it and again it works with his overall narrative in the season. Reaction: Neutral

Not spending so much time at the Southern Air Temple… I get it, it was kind of the trade off for showing so much in the beginning. It’s fine, it works. Reaction: Neutral

Aang bringing himself out of the Avatar state by thinking about Gyatso/who he is/whatever, instead of Katara doing it: I get it, they seem to be wanting to cut out any overt Kataang stuff. Still, the relationships between our three main characters are just not nearly as tight in this version of the show and something like this might have saved it? Still, Aang crying in her arms afterward covers that a bit so. Reaction: Neutral

Ok but now that I’m thinking about the rest of the grid and what chaos the trio would cause, it’s got me thinking:

Lewis - we know he’s one of Charles grid parents. And we saw from the grids reaction texts that he knows Tony, which means he’s probably an unofficial Uncle to little stark, just like the other avengers are. Add that to the fact that her mom was a successful Moto GP champion, he definitely knew her from there as well. And now these two have dragged poor Oscar with them to annoy Lewis at every chance possible. Yes, they can walk into Mercedes/Ferrari asking for Roscoe and they will be let in to steal Ros. Lewis just let’s it happen at this point, he know that Roscoe will be babysitting them more than they will themselves 🤦‍♀️.

Lando: as Oscar’s teammate and part of the twitch quartet with Charles, these two drag him along in their trio shenanigans but not really since he’s too curious and has FOMO too much to not willingly go in the first place. Also gets involved in shenanigans, to Lewis’s dismay, when he was hoping he would end up being a voice of reason (though really, what did he expect). Also ends up fangirling over little stark, and both her parents, but gets over it after the first three interactions and treats her like another friend. But will definitely tease her any chance she gets when fans get nervous to meet her, only to reminded he was the same.

Logan: as Oscar’s best friend and the only other American on the grid, he gets dragged into shenanigans UNWILLINGLY (you can’t tell me he’s not an introvert) and will attempt to parent Oscar and little stark. Also fangirls over tony and Peter when he inevitably gets introduced since, again, he’s the only American on the grid and they’re curious, godsdamnit. Meets Charles after establishing a very good friendship with Little Stark, and kinda fangirls over him a bit, but eventually they get comfortable with each other. But Logan learns very quickly that he can sometimes (SOMETIMES) be successful in deterring shenanigans (again parenting) when it’s just Oscar and little stark, but throwing Charles (or even lando) into the mix? Yeah he’s got no chance.

That concludes my rambles for the time being… whoopsies that’s long

-🦒

omg smooches to you 🦒 anon, i love your ramblings!!

lewis. lewis my man is so DONE with them!! wdym he has to babysit not only little stark but also charles and oscar?? that was not in his contract as unofficial f1 uncle for little stark when he met tony 🧍‍♀️(he would love to sue but he knows he would lose because of pepper, so he just endures)

I JUST KNOW that the gossip pages and rumor accounts on f1twt are trying to stir shit for the chaotic trio entering garages that are not their own (ferrari, mclaren, mercedes and stark racing) but everyone knows to keep everything out of sight and just give them roscoe or any snack they wanna steal. no spionage here, no matter what horner tries to say (he just feels left out, you can catch him longingly staring at seb over the paddock...)

lando gets dragged along and definitely feels a bit left out, because the trio is so close?? and it makes no sense?? because charles is older and since when is oscar so outgoing?? (it's the adopted vettel genes... too bad he doesn't have them) but he loves going on 'track adventures' with the trio, always the best fun 🤭 he also definitively lets loose with them, there are so many clips of lando acting like the biggest idiot on earth (even bigger than he already is). lewis would just like to retire at this point, ever since lando got stuck in a meeting room with little stark and decided to redecorate it (the added doodles on the walls with their sharpies... the mature man he is *cough cough* he did like ten dick drawings)

as for logan, he can NOT believe he's the voice of reason here. of course he knows little stark can behave but she just doesn't want to (pepper has grey hairs because of her) so he's definitely the mom of this friend group. he can also not believe that he had to stop lando from trying to shave charles' hair off, all because oscar fell asleep... and little stark was no help here. pepper tells him, if he ever retires from f1, that she will hire him to become a PA. logan doesn't know if he should feel honored or insulted....

so we have the core of the group, the chaotic trio (oscar, charles, little stark), the add-ons logan and lando, the tired parents lewis and seb... what could ever go wrong?

this is oscar and little stark (charles taking the picture of them) after they left red bull in shambles. how? no one will ever know...
