#i want it to be exciting and stuff and as a comic it wouldnt be as exciting as. a video game

[sunny-knight]

I am. Offended. At how much this comic sways my emotions. Dawgs you have no clue how thrilled I am to see Sans Forgettable AU POST trauma for the first time.

I cant feel my heart.

I love his stupid sunglasses and stupid

stupid

hes so stupid I love him I love him and his brother I love the brothers i love the concept of brothers they are the definition of the concept of brothers

also im mad. the shirt hes wearing looks like Wingdings’ dress shirt but opened. ☹️

while we’re here I might as well share my fanfic version of the first pages of Chapter 2

SO I THOUGHT LIKE just straight after the end of Chapter 1, Papyrus is like “ill go inform everyone of our departure!” and before Flowey can say NO DONT TELL ANYONE- he walks in and the house is comedically hectic, Toriel greets Papyrus and asks if he wants to help with her baking and before he can answer Undyne swoops in holding him in a headlock, then Toriel scolds her and then Alphys shouts and the smoke alarms go off cause she just accidentally blew something up upstairs- FUN STUFF

In this hectic scene Flowey has been TRYING to get Papyrus’ attention but still lie low with everyone else- and eventually got it by shoving Papyrus’ face out of a window and closing the curtains around him-

“Don’t tell Toriel we’re going to the Underground!” “why??” “CAUSE SHE’LL THINK ITS DANGEROUS AND WANT TO BRING EVERYONE ELSE!”

“well why not?? thats a lovely idea!”

And this goes on- eventually Papyrus gets pulled back by Undyne to help with something and Sans appears like “so why are you guys going to the underground?” and floweys like FUCK!

Sans says he’s coming with unless Flowey says what theyre doing. The logic being, “well if its dangerous then I don’t want you guys going alone, and if its not dangerous then why arent you saying what it is?”. He also says he’ll drop it if Flowey just says what- so Floweys honest and says that theyre gonna try and solve Papyrus’ memory problem. And Sans is like.

fuck.

Cause now he really does wanna come

but also he said he wouldnt-

IM SHAKING IM SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS CAUSE TELLING FROM THIS SCREENSHOT THATS CLEARLY NOT- also godamn thatd be impressive if I predict a whole scene/plot progression just by saying “how would I write this…”

I should say what I think is gonna happen in more detail more often just in case that DOES happen cause id never let go of that. Permanent ego boost

Little sneak-peek as a thanks for the patience waiting for new pages aldjwknd

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

sometimes i like to imagine a future where i write that (y/a or adult targeted) dragon book series i desperately want to, but i know that i wouldn't be able to do it without including art in the book. every time a new important character is introduced the next page would have to be a reference / art of them to Show What They Look Like

[technovillain]

everyone always says "don't make your first comic project one that you're overly attached to" for the sake of 'your big idea you're in love with is probably way more ambitious than your skill level will accommodate for' and that is a statement that i generally agree with. not me though, i'm different. /silly

i just feel like there is an alternative to that statement too which is both "you can start it anyways but just accept that later your early work will not be as good as the later work, creating a bit of a quality gap over the span of the comic" AND "the power of hyperfixating on your own characters for years at a time can make you actually do the big project so dont let the generalized advice about starting an overly ambitious project snuff the fire of your interest by making you feel like you have to wait 'until you're talented enough'. like you can always go back and re-do the old parts once you're better and that's okay. or you can leave them as a reminder of how much you've grown with your big passion project"

[mbat]

tfw you have quite possibly the most ambitious idea of your life and it sounds amazing and like a dream but its basically impossible and will quite literally never happen

[grif-hawaiian-rolls]

Anyways the “essay” about the energy sword to character development pipeline below the cut

Ok so like yea tucker-crunchbite-junior is, obviously, the first instance of the sword-quest-companion theme/trio that im like, rattling in my head rn

Tucker finds the sword, crunchbite shows up and theres the “quest” that challenges tucker both in the false intent (you need to be the hero) and the true intent (SA leading to Junior which is not handled well but it IS important) which is a push against tucker’s character thus far in that he’s the comic relief, make everything a sex joke archetype— he doesnt take it seriously, he doesnt see himself as important beyond getting just enough recognition to be “hot” and now he’s made to be the so called “hero” and the true plot puts him in the one position that he probably never thought could be him. Bc he wants to get laid so… yeah. Pushes his character if you give it like three seconds of critical thinking and not just the standard “haha alien baby bullshit” (that said, i do enjoy fics that explore crunchbite more and play with the potential of the “joke” shitty character into someone less sinister, but im doin my best to stick to canon rn)

And JUNIOR, oh man, because theres the thing that really solidifies this for me like

The dude who doesnt care doesnt bother is all jokes and ‘man whatever’ energy is a dad, and it starts with him trying to avoid it but he really fucking quickly steps the FUCK up for Junior and its the start of his development that people are like “oh he learns to be a leader on chorus” which i mean kinda yeah but he never struck me as a Leader even on Chorus even tho he does decidedly lead, its not the same as when kimball leads or when wash leads or carolina

He’s leads as a dad bc he is a dad

Not always a good one, but he’s trying and yea sometimes that means being the asshole, sometimes that means screwing up but it also means you fucking care and you take responsibility and you put yourself in danger first (the rescue mission, leaving the lieutenants behind)

And that doesnt start on chorus! Its the most evident there sure but

it starts with junior

It starts with him going after tex to protect his son, it starts with him trying to be a diplomat so they stay together, in sending junior away so he is safe while tucker buys time protecting the temple, it STARTS with him looking at church and going “leave my kid out of this” and yeah the way rvb was written and approached does Not take that seriously bc it wouldnt and if it did it would be a very different show but the implications are there and its acknowledged with tucker’s photograph of junior with his 5th grade basketball team (“i know right? Who carries actual pictures anymore” -tucker) which i could go on about THAT too but suffice to say its very clear that tucker cares so gd much about his kid and yeah his character development isnt super linear but you can basically pinpoint when it starts with the sword and junior

The second run of this trio of things is actually grif which is admittedly, a stretch, a big ol reaching for straws (okay, TECHNICALLY grif is the third run, but i’ll address that in a minute) largely a stretch bc grif… does the pattern backwards

This IS S16 stuff so if ur a shisno paradox hater i respect that, i however am gnawing on it with everything i have and will be going feral so this is your warning thank u for reading the tucker side of it mwah appreciate ya

Anyways

Grif does his plot backwards during timetravel shenanigans

He gets the alien companion/friend who contrasts his character first in Huggins

Grif is a loyal friend, but he is lazy, even after s15’s breakdown and apparent change of tune, he’s still looking to take the path of least resistance, avoiding the call, trying to keep things from moving

Enter Huggins: zippy, full of energy, excitable and just so different in that she is not only so proactive she puts herself in danger (which helps everyone in the long run/plot but its the principle) but shes so fucking lonely

As far as she knows, her family is dead, except for muggins who is so dettached from her, he might as well be a coworker and not her brother

Compared to grif, who has a family even when he tries to push them away (the reds, the blues, KAIKAINA) but hates taking action

Huggins is the start for grif’s arc of “it sucks but someones gotta do it” which in their case is best shown as the trudge across the bottom of the english channel which is so fucking funny to me but it really pushes both of them and puts them firmly in the friends category

Huggins cant zip ahead without grif, grif cant stop moving because huggins wont let him, so they find their little balance of gas vs brakes and together they cruise along p well

The actual push of the “quest” is grif having to be the one who steps up (kinda like tucker but its to the left) he’s the one who starts getting everyone together again across the timeline, even if he is very,,,

Well he’s very Grif about it, but it is still fundamentally, the change in character

Tucker isn’t a always good dad, Grif isn’t always a good instigator of action

But theyre trying and theyre working on it and grif’s arc suffers a Little from being so late in the show and thus not having much of a parallel to pull on but you could argue he gets the parallel from s15 anyways with the refusal of the call (from fake church/loco) and rescue mission but i hesitate to call that a parallel bc its literally back to back but an argument could be made for it which i love

Enter part two: the alien quest giver

“Wait wasnt that huggins”

NOPE huggins was alien companion! The Bestie in grif’s case,

The alien fetch quest comes from atlas, in that stupid wishing sequence but cmon it wouldnt be rvb if the character development wasnt sandwiched inbetween obnoxious gags and stupidity

The quest is less important here admittedly bc again, with grif doing this in reverse its not the challenge to his principle character that it was for tucker, his connection to huggins was the challenge, and this becomes the final push into the development, the “you have a role, now play it” that gives grif the final shove into Doing Things literal!! And his prize? For this character development arc? An alien sword

And thus the inverse version reaches an end, sort of (im pissed that technically he loses his sword, im also ignoring that he loses it in canon bc he fucking earned it okay this is a bit of canon i will ignore and loophole my way around it)

And now we track back to Chorus and to the second iteration of the sword-quest-companion plot

Locus

Now okay i will admit this is conjecture and pepe-silvia-on-corkboard-with-red-string fuckery at this point but hear me out okay!

He gets the sword with Felix���s death. We know this. What we dont know is how the fucking hell he gets off Chorus! We just see him show up later with A’rynasea. The vaguely alien (maybe sentient?? AI? Its implied with the way he addresses her but we literally have her for like two episodes) ship that seems to be the driving force (literal) (bc shes his ship) behind his chosen redemption arc where he pushes himself to help others at no apparent benefit to himself, but because it is, and i quote “the right thing to do”

Arguably, Santa could be Locus’ quest giver, seeing as how he is the one who triggers the whole shift in view for Locus in the first place and that is, technically, what crunchbite does and what atlas finalizes for grif! But the problem is we simply dont have enough of A’rynasea to draw the parallel between her and Locus as personalities, as companions for it to work for me??? But that might just be me overthinking? But it does make Locus’ version is a bit messier depending on who you consider his quest-giver but as far as I’m concerned, he’s still on his quest snd its just up to interpretation if A’rynasea is his companion?? or if theres a secret third alien for Locus that we never wouldve seen even if they planned for that bc its red vs blue and im just delusional about locus and his role in plot and this is just me firing concepts blindly into the sky at this point like - yeah i could still theorize what kind of companion characterization i think locus would work well with bc its more about the wielder than the companion in this sense (sorry junior and huggins i love yall i promise) but thats a completely separate rant at this point and not nearly coherent enough at this exact moment to add it PLUS its ridiculously self indulgent and only marginally canon compliant/adjacent but i will never not be amused by this very specific plot beat happening enough to draw these parallels, as tenuous and vague as the parallels are

[enden-k]

it always makes me really happy to see artists that are more 'fandom-centric' by nature posting their OCs and other things along that line and getting positive feedback, which then in turn causes them to create and post more OC stuff tbh (this is meant 100% genuinely, i apologise if the way i phrased it is a little stilted or odd, i just love seeing non fandom content on my dash)

anyways, feel free to use this ask as a free pass to give us some random tidbits about your OCs and their stories! whatever is swirling around in there that you haven't been about to find a spot to talk about just yet would be great /gen

tbh i always drew my own characters and stories since childhood but started doing fanart when i joined my first big fandom back then (which was bleach in my teenage years); i kept drawing my own things until college between fanart here and there but the moment i made my art blog here i neglected my works more and more and did more fanart instead (for fgo back then). i havent drawn any of my comics again for 4 years or smth but now that my sister got back into hers again she motivated me to pick up my old stories again!!

i think bc ppl were so excited abt my fanart i always knew my own stuff wouldnt get as much reaction so i didnt even try and then just stopped working on it hhjhdfkj but yea, now that my sister gave me motivation and energy and now that i see ppl are actually liking my stuff its smth else aaaa. sry for rambling, i just wanted to clarify that im not fandom-centric by nature, it just happened over the time

anw idk what i should babble abt so uhhh have a fun fact:

not only is this specific story the first proper, planned through one i drew in my teenage years, its also the one that got me in trouble and caused a lot of serious pain bc my adoptive father snooped in my room back then and stole specific pages (like gore or smut scenes, yea i was edgy but also heavily traumatized and in a very bad place) and made up random shit about it to make fun of me, expose me by showing my friends and others and claim outrageous stuff. i tried to remake it later but always stopped with each version and never attempted to revive this story again bc it always filled me with shame and horror knowing he still owns these pages. me redrawing it now is lit the first time in YEARS that i touch it again and it feels very healing, like im seeing my teenage self again drawing this stuff with sm passion and not the person anymore who trampled on it and used it to cause me pain. bc that exact thing was what kept me from working on it again. i just couldnt do it.

(as usual w personal stuff, im just sharing this very dry like facts and i get uncomfortable when people send comfort so ye, reminder to not do that please)

the way i have absolutely flooded the kubosai tag is crazy😭most of the recent posts are mine.. my bad..

... anyway, im thinking about kuboyasu picking up different hobbies as a form of anger management, teaching himself coping mechanisms and to use his hands in more gentle ways and let himself make mistakes without taking his anger out in unhealthy ways..

knitting, crocheting, art (he already draws but he wants to do it more and start painting n stuff too), or even scrapbooking or journaling ?? he also already stress bakes/cooks lol.

and since he does it so much, he has so many little pieces of art and he ends up gifting most of them to saiki.. because kubo thinks theyre crappy, but saikis eyes lit up in a way kubo doesnt get to see often when he caught sight of kubos crocheted little pink cat with a suspiciously saiki-like grimace on his face.

so now saiki has all kinds of little knitted/crocheted blankets, pillow cases, stuffed animals, gloves, sweaters, etc. (he made a lot of scarves, bags, hats, coasters, etc. at first since those are easier for beginners, and at first he was keeping them for himself and his mom but the house has too many damn coasters and they do not need that many accessories and sweaters.. so the whole friend group started getting them, but mostly saiki.. and saikis mom started receiving some too).

and little paintings of cats (because kubo definitely loves cats but also saiki just reminds him of one so he draws/paints them for him a lot.. he doesn't know if saiki actually likes them, but he says he doesnt mind so..) and some cute paintings of their friends.. he makes a lot of vent art but saiki obviously does not receive that stuff☠️.

he also tried to learn yoga.. but he learns quickly that he just isnt very good at keeping his hands still and unoccupied for too long.. he might revisit that later, but for now hes just trying to at least learn slow and calculated motions with his hands..

he probably also starts helping kusuo and kurumi with their gardening (because they definitely have a garden). i doubt arens mom has a garden but i bet he could convince her to help him start one after enjoying it with the saikis so much.

the scrapbooking/journaling he mostly keeps to himself.. its mostly pictures of him and his mom, his friends, and him trying to document his feelings in messy pages of writing/doodles/choas..

i love the idea that he starts collecting stickers+fun pens+washi tape to use, which is something he totally would not normally fixate on but he starts getting really excited about it..

tbh it's probably mostly silly stickers from anime he likes, like one piece and dragonball.. a lot of his other interests like the yakuza movies wouldnt have stickers he could get so he just doodles the characters.

but he starts branching out into sillier and more colorful stuff, mostly thanks to chiyo, kokomi, kusuo, and shun. chiyo+kokomi have lots of girly stickers and glitter pens that they give him when they catch wind of the journaling..shun has lots of silly stickers from comic books and theres a surprising amount of harley quinn+poison ivy along with the mcu stuff(mostly spiderman).

chiyo+kusuo have like vocaloid+prosekai stickers, but kusuo mostly is just the reason aren has lots of bright pink+green on a lot of his pages hehe..

anyway, a lot of the gifts he gives to kusuo start getting really.. obvious ? he once gives him this crocheted pink cat with a blank expression and a purple dog whose taller and smiling, both wearing glasses, that are permanently knitted together holding hands☠️and kusuo just.. accepts it. and a lot of the stuff he receives along with their other friends are suspiciously more detailed than everyone elses and there are a lot of hearts and the cat+dog thing becomes a frequent motif and theres so many coffee jelly stuffies and keychains its insane

shun will get like.. a black and red sweater, meanwhile kusuo gets a purple sweater covered in pink hearts+matching gloves+a scarf+socks+a tote bag+a headband ??? aren are ur hands okay seriously

kusuo keeps every single gift obviously, and the first dog+cat plushies along with some other gifts are on his desk so he can look at them literally all the time..

yet somehow they arent dating yet😭aren basically professed his undying love with all the hearts and romantic ass offerings but neither of them have really said anything out loud yet☠️☠️

Teaser for 2024!! Chapter 1 might have ended but the horrors continue.

Where to read my comic! LINK (coming to tumblr sometime this year hopefully)

I'm going to put some personal thoughts regarding chapter 1 below, it's there if you want context on how I see this story, but it can be ignored if you don't want to read a wall of text! I hope the teaser looks nice and spikes interest! I think this next chapter is going to be a fun one.

Arc 1 Chapter 1 was written when I was still in highschool, I have graduated college by now :' ) So needless to say, I am very excited to be jumping into the second arc of this story and be done and over with the stuff my teenage self wrote. 

I scripted Arc 2 Chapter 2 relatively recently (almost done scripting Arc 2 Chapter 3 too), so it has my current writing style and pacing! I'm really proud of it personally, I think its fun but I guess there is that underlying fear of people maybe not liking my current approach to the characters. Specially because I know this comic seems to be the favorite amongst my current two because of how long it's been around! Even if I made little edits on the way, Chapter 1 was basically the same script my teenage self wrote... I had to follow the planned pacing and events, and oh gosh there are so many scenes I would write differently (all the ones before we meet Noriel, basically.)

My biggest personal complain with chapter 1 is that I don't think I was clear enough with the theme of the story nor did I give it much justice : ( and that in part goes with my younger self just, not having enough experience writing heavier topics at the time. This story is based on my personal experiences with xenophobia, it's about xenophobia, back when I scripted chapter 1 I knew how it FELT like, but now as an adult I have been able to go deeper and analize why I feel that way, why people treat me the way they do, and much more that I plan to properly explore going forward. This doesn't mean that other people connecting with this story through other forms of bigotry like racism, transphobia, homophobia etc is wrong, though! I have seen your explanations for why and it's sooo so fair, I don't mind this story reasonating with how general bigotry feels like at all, intersectionality is a thing for a reason. But I wish to explore xenophobia as it was intended :]! It's personal to me. And the world of Ales is so HUGE! Chapter 1 did not give the worldbuilding justice either! There is so much to explore and I'm excited! I can't believe my younger self wanted to end the story here, man. Insane.

The only thing that's closest to my current writing style in chapter 1 is actually the flashback with Noriel and Kana we saw this year! That wasn't part of the original script, and I added it in preemptively, knowing I would need it for context in the new chapters but that I wouldnt have space for it later, it needed to happen Now or never. So I guess that's a good reference for what to expect! But fear not, just because chapter 2 and onward is technically an updated approach to things, that doesn't mean what happened in chapter 1 wont affect anything! Quite the contrary oh boy! What happened in chapter 1 is a big catalyst for so many things that happen in this story, and why Noriel and Kana act the way they do. I think it's going to be great and I can't wait to share it, I just hope other people like it as much as I do!

[cheshirette]

Happy New Year!

here's some of my thoughts of 2022 and what i want to do in 2023 ↓

2022

This year started off nice, I got to work on cool projects and I tried out so many new things. Unfortunately halfway through the year it went downhill and despite being hired for my first ever job, it sucked and I fell into depression.

Fuzee visited me at home for the first time ever, and he stayed with me for a few months. This was probably the best highlight of the year for me because I missed him for so long... I was seriously struggling mentally and just having him here with me has done wonders. I was determined to work hard so I can eventually move out and stay with him.

Living here at home isn't doing so well for me. I still live with my parents and I have a very controlling Mother. I've been purposely avoiding her so that I can be at ease, and I would put so much effort into locking myself up in my room or going out with friends. I hope I can finally get away from this next year.

Emotionally, I was doing really bad. October was super bad, and my friends were nice enough to help me get back on medication. I feel like ever since I went back to fix myself up, my long lost motivation came back and I've been drawing so much and it feels so good! I'm really happy I got to go back to this.

Lots of friendships crumbled this year, but I also befriended many people this year too. I'm still really sad about this separation and I continue to yearn for the old times where all my friends hung out together and nothing was wrong, but I have to leave those memories behind. I do miss them a lot but.. I dont know, I was left conflicted for so long.. I'm still grateful for all the friends I met this year.

I finally opened up design commissions as this was something that many friends encouraged me to do, and so many people were interested. I was worried it wouldnt go so well but I was surprised to see the demand!

I did a lot of new things and picked up old hobbies I've long abandoned due to depression. I bought lots of new books and read a lot of them and bought a new sketchbook from the farmer's market and decorated it with stickers I had lying around. feels weird how I got over my sticker anxiety but its soooo nice decorating things and it makes me feel so relaxed!

Commissions were super slow and I feel like it was hard for me to get around with my absence during my last job. I need to work harder.

I recently started getting back into drawing things with backgrounds so I hope I can keep this up.

I got more comfortable in streaming and didnt feel so anxious after having meds. I even hosted my first birthday even and I'm glad it was successful!

2023

This year I have a weird goal where I want to collect as manu stickers to the point that I can fill up a box. I like using stickers and tapes for decorating my sketchbook so I hope to collect more.

My biggest goal for this year is to move out of this house with Fuzee. I cant stand being in this toxic household and I havent felt safe in a long while. I plan on raising money so I can get out.

I want to make merch, stickers or small postcard prints sound nice

I want to make little comics on my ocs again like I did years ago, especially now that I feel like I can draw anything

I aim to explore doing Live2D stuff so I can do commissions for it in the future

I hope to get hired for some job position again. I wish I could get hired for character design 💦

I wanna do weekly(?) community drawing session with viewers and enhance my stream setup and hopefully upgrade my computer.

I wanna go on a trip next year somewhere, I think it would be nice to go to the mountains again.. 🏔️

I want to try and do silent vlogging. I got invested in it last year and I want to give it a try ✨

There's probably more but I'm just generally excited since it's bunny year 🐇 Thank you all for sticking around with me, I'll try my best this year!!!!

[volskayadottxt]

v conflicted bc i know ppl wanted ventures comic to be like a Heartfelt Pride Story but im honestly p excited abt sombra dragging them into conspiracy hunting and the increasing amount of evidence talon is going to try and grab anubis.

this prolly wouldnt have been an issue if t4 had confirmed mauga at launch and keeps teasing stuff abt zarya. not sure where any of that is going.

but at the same time DOOMFIST is in SPACE and shit is going to happen ON MARS probably abt the CONSPIRACY and I AM EXCITED ABT THAT!!

[goremet-chef]

DREADFUL so dreadful but the only step is to just reach forward. like all i need to do is pick up my pen but i cant. wish i could tho

art will always be my passion, even if it bothers me sometimes. its all ive ever been good at, fantastic outlet for creativity and emotional buildup but i just. sometimes i cant move and i dont know why and its literally inches away from me but i can hardly move forward yknow? im fine physically, but mentally its like this huge step that seems so intimidating

i feel like i live off of outcomes and when the outcome isnt certain my brain goes haywire and holds me in place until the outcome can settle. but? this outcome IS the same. its so easy, ive done it before. reach and grab, draw what yr dying to draw

im drowning myself in lethal company things im so excited and im . all my minecraft ocs and my sotf ocs like i have so much i need to make and just.. no will to do it. but i want to! want to more than anything. id feel better if i did, which is true i would feel better. when it builds up inside you its OVERWHELMING like insanely so. i can get it out and free myself if i just DO it but theres always this barrier between what i want and what i actually do yknow? very lame

yknow art is my passion even if it hurts me sometimes it makes me very happy and i like to create, everyone likes to create. i like to see what i can do, like to bring all these buzzing thoughts to reality. can hardly hold onto them long enough to do that but i try at least. sometimes i feel really really unreliable and i dont know why?

i dont do commissions anymore, i pretty much ONLY draw for myself. who are you disappointing? who do you THINK yr disappointing? no one even remembers all the times you say "im drawing this 😼", YOU dont even remember all the times you say that. theres no pressure, you can do it whenever you want, it doesnt make you worse or anything. art is for you, you'll get to it when you can

yes :] i think i probably will. im just trying to make myself feel better honestly its something that eats at me and i dont know why?

its like some HORRIBLE combination of impostor syndrome and bpd fears like "oh no im not good enough!!! i need to provide i need to create for others to consume to prove im worthy" and then when i DO create, when too many people like it its.. i feel like ive conned them, surely i didnt make something that good, i must have faked it somehow and the attention is undeserved

SHIT LIKE THAT honest to god all my mento illnesses come together and hold hands like some really fucked up version of the power rangers. all of them collide in the WORST ways possible its. what is bro doing in there !!!! seriously its actually comically tragic but i live in spite this, i probably always will live in spite of it. sometimes im like wow lets let everything wash over and give up, this hell isnt worth it. but isnt it? back and forth black and white, world is ending world is beautiful type shit. when it feels over i just try to remember all that stuff that and it forces me to remember that there is no giving up on this, wouldnt give it up for the world. its mine and ill keep it

as i was saying tho, i feel so much happier drawing when i try to keep it out of mind. like yes, of course i love the attention. who doesnt? but i used to be INCREDIBLY numbers driven for like. hefty chunk of my art history. like little 11 yr old me breaking coppa on dA had so much fun just drawing hot garbage and sharing it and it never got like any likes but i didnt even CARE i just. to be able to create and share is the best part of all

i wish i was like him again. im not that boy, not anymore, but i remember him and i keep him close. all that cringe bullshit and i was having so much fun

ill give myself some credit yknow. im an adult, money is a necessity in this world. art becomes more of a chore and something i feel pressured on because logically its the only thing i can DO right to make a quick buck like. its the one thing i know i can do. but having my passion turn into something like that? dreadful

sometimes you cant avoid it, i just have to do my best to look past it and recognize that beneath all that shit. theres something in me that needs to draw, the same thing that forces me to carry sketchbooks and pencils with me wherever i go, even if i never use them. just this lingering presence that screams at me and tells me that i will create. i will! i will create

[hobieszeze]

Katy for book two, do some type of magical shit where the dead crewmates come back to help guide the crew. Yknow like how moanas grandma did with her and kept them going (their memories always preserve and prevail.

Speaking of i definitely know the other crew is celebrating their asses off proud of how fair they come and what they did actually and its just gonna be so great. I have a feeling we might have to rescue miguel in the second book from what all happened. Thats certainly gonna be a dangerous situation i feel we might have to go through with the royalty. I feel like we will definitely be seeing karl and his crew again. We love karl and his boyfriend though (which is actually a cannon thing in the actual comic books and i love it)

And i did predict a lot didnt i? But then again thats due to your great writing and foreshadowing. Taking the slightest buts of hints the author does and turning them into our own theories and seeing if we were correct or not. In which if we were or werent it just means you are that great of an author to where people can do all that with just your stories. I think how much i love your writing isnt said enough. But its also had for me to find all the correct words for it as well.

Also unlike the queen r didnt let her hate take oversight of what she loves and cares about. She didnt let it consume her only fueled it for her loved ones and to save it.

And hey writing great villians is absolutely amazing, its hard writing a good villian because if you successfully do get people to all collecfively hate them thats how you know your writing worked. Sure we might wish it was different but the series wouldnt be it wuthout the villians we hate. Itd have no fuel. So in reality i love the villians for me being able to hate them if it makes sense. Villians are always a need and not everyone can write a successful villian. I could like rnat about that and stuff in the series itself

You did more then an okay job at writing them. You did fucking amazing. I genuinely cant wait to see the friends and new and old foes we will have in book 2.

Love how katy couldnt get enough and shes just like “def gotta make a book 2, i need it” katy is never gonna be finished with bdas. Itll be like 10 years later and bdas will be like a 13 book series/j

However i am excited for other series you might have in mind especially if we are still getting a cowboy hobie series. In which if we do get a cowboy series do you already have ideas for a cowboy hobie (curious zeze)

I also love how r still wants a knife since they lost it due to yknow. And hobie is gonna already wanna buy them multiple. Speaking of i feel like r definitely feels safer with the knife, like thats why they wants it just in case anything happens they want to be useful in more ways the medical attention cause they and others know they can. I also love how before the crew came and when hobie and r though they would die that theyd die with each other after being together and sharing what they thought would be their last kiss. I also hope in book 2 pav meets gayatri and we get to see more cute moments with miles and gwen. And hopefully with karls crew. Time to go to that one place karl wanted hobie and them to meet him at right?

BDAS SPOILERS

Katy writes so good to where you can ultimately predict some of the stuff that happens from the writting, yet not all of it. You can see the direction its going and still have no clue how itll end.

I KNEW IT WAS THE QUEEN IVE BEEN CALLING IT SINCE WHEN?!?!?! I KNEW IT WAS HER WHIPPIE. Im so glad i got that correct.

But god damn fucking mathias no one likes you and its obvious let me be with the love of my life i dont care if you hate him its not your choice. I hope hed commit more felonies on your ass.

So glad how the guard didnt follow and just let us go while he helped the queen. Love how R also sold some of her stuff and negotiated it so she could get the love of her life dafe. Love how people on the crowd even hated hobies execution because it was undeserving. The royalty is just pricks and the stuff that r said to the queen is 100% true. Just comes to show a lot.

Also i love all the metaphors we get to fire and how people in this series have fire spread within them. Its been here for a long time.

And i love the squad coming to help and asking r what to do and then sending r after hobie so she can get him safe

GAHH i could go on a rant all day about this chapter alone and so much more.

I like how even katy could get enough of bdas and was like “what should i do…. Oooo second story”

Is this gonna become like a book deried? Percy jackson era?

THANK YOU, BESTIE!! That's such a great compliment, I'll be storing it inside my brain forever and ever ❤️

YOU DID!! You actually predicted a lot! (You and your big brain ���️)

I love how everyone hates mathias and the queen bc that means I did an okay job at writing the villains!

Miguel and the hired mercenaries did a good job at preventing them from following (everyone say thank you to miguel)

R does not care which stuff she sells as long as she gets hobie back in her arms again 🥺

Yeeesss Hobie was their beacon while R was their fire they needed to finally fight back!

The royalty are such royal pain in the asses! (Hehehhe) And They will be much more pompous in book 2

R is secretly katniss confirmed. 'It's been a here for a long time' omg you're so right

They're a team your honour! Mathias said love won't defeat him but it did

PLEASE RANT MORE!!! THE SMILE ON MY FACE HASN'T STOPPED SINCE I'VE BEEN READING EVERYONE'S NOTES ☺️☺️☺️

My train of thought was "they need to be pirates more and go on more adventures but that won't fit here. Oh I know book 2!!" Lol

Idk yet! Probably 🤔

plane pillow

where peter planned to play video games with ned through the whole flight but fate decided to take another turn....

*A/N: this isnt related to far from home nor the ending of endgame, just pretend infinity and all the movies after didnt exist since i imagine pete 16 in here. i dont know why 16 i just like that age on him lmao, enjoy reading!*

pairing: peter x reader

status: strangerz (well sort of since they haven't talked to eachother but they're in the same school)

NOT PROOF READ BTW SO SORRY IF THERE ARE ANY MISTAKES

peter's POV

"the flight will be amazing! i heard they'd installed the new game we were talking about" i gushed to ned, excited for the whole flight to be filled with video games.

"im excited" ned stated practically jumping from excitement and i shook my head laughing

"OK CLASS!" Mr Harrington clapped his hands getting our attention "we're boarding the plane in a few minutes so pack your stuff and lets goooo" he pointed at our gate dramatically.

we walked to the gate, scanned our ticket and sat on our assigned seats, ned and i sat on the three seater, he took the window seat by winning a 3 round match of rock, paper, scissors *sighs angrily* and i obvious got the middle, kinda scared of who'll sit beside me though.

we had to wait for a few minutes, since we boarded the flight early. ned and i obviously started playing video games, too entranced by the small glowing screen infront of me i haven't realized a girl.

she hadn't really acknowledged me either because she looked tired, i cursed at the screen for losing the game too quickly and my dumb ass still didnt realize a GIRL, MY AGE, looking PRETTY FUCKING ADORABLE was sitting next to me. oh dear god.

after a couple more games and me being the most idiotic teenager known today for not looking at my right to see her  the flight attendant alerted us that the plane will take off so we the screen will freeze any moment. ned and i decided to sleep, it was very early in the morning and we need to rest if we plan on gaming most of the flight.

i closed my eyes and shifted a bit in my seat, and slept. the plain was moving at the time trying to find the best place to take off. i guess i was really tired that i havent felt someone sleeping on my shoulder.

i was peacefully sleeping still agitated from the uncomfortable seat but i heard a loud noise that frightened the life out of me and due to my spidey senses i sensed a hand on my right, so what did i do? i fucking held the hand. hard, may i add, from the fright.

i opened my eyes quickly and jumped a bit, turning around to see who's the stranger that i held hands with, startled as well. i sighed in relief knowing our plane was safe and it was just about to take off. but then i took a good look on the perso- her, took a good look on her, on her? OH MY GOD ITS A GIRL calm down peter and please dont scare her off. i couldnt stop looking at her and to my luck she was looking at me as well, but none of us spoke

i couldnt help but notice the small part of her y/h/c hair that was shown from her hood looked so shiny and smooth, her eyes were the most perfect shade of y/e/c. the extremely large hoodie looked so comfortable on her which made me think of her wearing one of mine, how big and long it'll look on her body sent butterflies to my stomach. she looked small, and precious so fragile yet she held her body confidently.

the voice of the flight attendant echoed through the speakers which made us both stop our trance of one another. even though the lady's voice wasnt scary it still frightened us. i mean no hate towards miss attendant she called me a cutie and gave me extra blankets

but coz we got startled again we held hands....again looking for the sources of the noise. we visibly relaxed once we realized what it was, looked at eachother and laughed, her laugh was angelic and soft, hands down the best sound ive ever head. she looked rather embarrassed from the encounter but i bet you a thousand dollars i look worse, i could practically feel the blood rush through my cheeks once she realized how long ive stared at her

"i- uhm i-im so sorry for sleeping on your shoulder, and- and holding your hand and stuff" she apologized, it only made me even more baffled by her. how could a voice match with a face so perfectly.

"no no its fine uhh i dont mind *nervous laugh* and for the hand thing i was the one who grabbed yours so i-i should be the one apologizing...im sorry" i rubbed the back of my neck. this is why i dont talk to girls, ever. well mj is an exception since shes like the closest thing i have to a friend other than my best friend obviously.

"i-im y/n, by the way" she lifted her hand properly introducing herself

"peter, peter parker" i shook her hand, it was nice feeling the warmth of her hand again. we probably held hands (for the third time today by the way) longer the we should have but who am i to say i was bothered. i definitely wasnt.

"nice to meet you peter" she smiled shaking our hands one last time then sitting it on her lap. scratch what i said about her gorgeous laugh, hearing her say my name was the best thing ive heard in my 16 year of existence. (her laugh is obviously the second best)

before i could ask anything else, the plane decided to finally take off. i adjusted myself to the seat, not turning to my right side anymore and closed my eyes trying to think of smiling puppies. ive been on a plane before, in fact a private one last year but that was it. this is my second time flying away from new york and i was a bit nervous.

y/n somehow noticed my sudden tense form, who am i kidding i looked like i was about to die coz of my nerves. and held my hand. and i immediately opened my eyes again, the feeling of her skin coming in contact with mine brought chills down my spine, good ones obviously

"you looked rather tense, is this ok?" she leaned into my ear so i could hear her. i looked at her confused on why she would want to help me but nodded as a reply. a smile crept on my face and i couldnt seem to take it off.  the take off went smoothly thank god. and ive occasionally squeezed her hand, usually when the plane made very loud sounds. but i made it! woohoo

i didnt know if i should stop holding her hand or not, even though i didnt want to. will she think im a creep? and if i did, will she think im rude? but i guess it didnt seem to bother her if she went back to sleeping. so i figured i should do the same

i shifted in my seat a couple of times trying to get the perfect comfy spot....nothing. this seat will be the death of m-

"you can sleep on my shoulder if you want" she whispered. "i figured since you let me sleep on yours which im very sorry about, you could sleep on mine" she smiled

"thanks, but i dont wanna bother you or make you uncomfortable"

"oh nonsense! my body is screaming right now cheering for me, well partially scolding at me for saying something risky like that to a good looking guy, its ok" she laughed, her eyes widened in shock from what she confessed. i smiled at her and rested my head on her shoulder

"you think im good looking?" i whispered playing with our fingers, i dont know when i got the sudden confidence but hearing someone like her think a loser like me is cute did something to me.

"shut up" she playfully shoved me and i laughed.

"are you from midtown?" i asked her

"no im from queens" she joked

"oh you're definitely from midtown" i chuckled, next thing i know i was having a normal conversation with me laying my head on a girl i just met like we knew eachother for years, it was nice to talk to a girl i potentially thought was cute instead of talking gibberish

she was very understanding and looked like interested into what i was saying, i was gonna skip my geeky side when she asked about what i like but to my surprise, she mentioned it when i asked her the same, she said she loves comics and likes watching sci fi movies. i asked her if she watched star wars and she said she didnt...yet.

"wanna uhm watch it together?" i played with her fingers absentmindedly nervous if she'd reject me.

"yeah sure" her eyes lit up like she was waiting for me to ask her that. we watched the movie in bliss, thankfully she liked it! and immediately said to put the second one. and surprise surprise, we finished it.

when the credits rolled in, i saw her yawning, shifting in her seat again, i decided to be bold so i lifted her head off my shoulder pulled the arm rest away from us, took a pillow and patted my lap. immediately after doing it i regretted it, she barely knows me, what the fuck peter.

"you sure?" she asked smiling a bit, she looked like she felt something giddy inside which made me feel at peace again and i nodded.

"good night" she whispered snuggling her head on my lap, i hesitantly put my arm over

"good night, y/n" and we fell asleep like how ned slept the whooole time i was talking to her, wow we have a lot to catch up on

bonus:

peters pov

i didnt know the whole plane (our class) practically gushed over my interaction with y/n, i know its been a while since i liked a girl but betty and the rest (including Mr Harrington) practically begged mj to take photos of us since she was the closest, not that she wouldnt have done it without them asking her....

*A/N: idk what this bonus was lmao but i had to add the school feeling happy for our boy pete*

have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening/night!

Do you have any headcanons for Wind or Hyrule?

yep here u go

hyrule gets lost on purpose sometimes. it isnt like he doesnt know the general direction of where the others are. sometimes he just needs some quiet. sometimes he just wants to get lost again and explore. sometimes he wants to be found. sometimes he just wants to see things that he normally wouldnt. wilds and he wander together for that reason - wilds slate tells them what things are if they dont know already. they love it.

hyrule is literally a badass. hes the uwu hold my flower babe, not the one saying i got it babe kick their ass. he wont hesitate, bitch. this is less hc and more fact so lets make it one: sparring? he hasnt really done it before, didnt have anyone to spar with. the minute he gets hang of "tap them theyre out" hes a fucking menace. you can not stop him. he has god and anime on his side audio here.

hyrule cant cook, but its probably not as bad as it could be despite popular belief. he lived on his own in ruins of a hyrule; he just knows what to make using stuff he finds in his era. it isnt really his fault if ingredients are bad - theyre what hes got and able to get. imo if you give him some good ingredients and some simple instructions to walk him thru it that he could make something good. and if you juat want him to make something on his own? he makes a mean fucking jerky guaranteed.

wind, the mad lad. easily excitable and he deserves it considering he made the gods choose him. tanner than the lu comic, freckles if youre feeling extra flair-y. hes in the sun, hed not be a raw pancake.

wind is so funny to me. "its going to rain" "how do you know" "i can smell it" because he just fucking would wouldnt he? when he and the chain are wandering around and he smells something beachy and warm? it reminds him of home and ah, yeah, btw its gonna rain. what a fuckin thing to say. he likes the rain too. hes the equivalent of those videos where people lay on their backs in the rain for the good vibes.

wind doesnt get cold easily, until he does. the sea is freezing, hed be used to at least Some cold wind and weather n shit to a degree. he can handle cold weather some of the others cant, aside from maybe wilds stupid cold season. but logically nobody can really best that weather so haha fuck u. he can handle the cold until he gets wet, or theres snow, or he doesnt take proper care of himself. his old tunic came in handy for something and it was the fact that despite it being hot as fuck on the island it sure as hell helped during cold nights on the ship.

i know nobody cares nd i sure wouldnt if my brain wasnt solely dedicated to it out if sheer boredom but

diablo cody penned powerpuff girls live action show for the cw

is the Absolute Most chaotic media product of the year (if it ends up being filmed and released by the end of the year) and im also really excited for it?? pls forgive me martin scorsese steven spielberg my film school professors etc etc

but really, people comparing it to the fate winx saga shit... diablo cody is a good writer tho. she can write comedy and drama and relationships pretty dang well. and the fact that shes working with producers of the cw dc comics shows kind of gives me hope? like, its a tv budget, but maybe the effects wont be absolute shit. maybe it will balance the superhero stuff~ nicely with the character drama and interactions. the aesthetics of the show and general tone will definitely be tricky, especially since the girls will now be in their mid twenties, which i think is genius, partly because they wont be oversexualized underage teenagers, they will already have a history and personalities defined, and also because they were meant to be like five years old in the original cartoon from 1998, which does put them around 23/24 years by 2022. and also thats the general age of those of us who grew with the cartoon :^)

but dove cameron (the bubbles actress) has said she thought the pilot script was really funny and i like that! you shouldnt take powerpuff girls too seriously, even if theyre adults and have issues and problems and conflicts. thats also something i like of diablo cody, she can balance these moods really well. as i said, its not easy, but i think she can pull it off.

besides that, the cw and especially their superhero shows are pretty colorful and fun looking on a first glance, so i wouldnt worry too much on them making them all gloomy and dark and desaturated. im more worried about good costume design that isnt jeans and hoodies and tshirts. i want vibrant color! i want prints! i want variety!!!!!

i have no reason to believe this is good, but i also have no doubts. so yeah.

I assume you forgot the post from 2019

If it sits on his harddrive or not...who knows. Also I will just throw my prediction for his amazing plot and comic idea out here because I can. But under the cut cause LONG Text.

It will go down pretty closely to the toy with me story, since sparrow said he wanted to rewrite that one baddly. Quackerjack will infiltrate the convention... the toy exhibit con thing... Then he will dribble the black ink stuff ( negaduck juice) over all the people at the con and over all the toys that will come to live and attack the visitors. He couldl most likely use the water system for firesprinklers for that. The toys will become more evil than ever and Quackerjack just talks with Mecha Bananabrain in the background while chaos happens. Of course Drake is there with Gos, Honker and Lp cause its a toy convention and Gos wants the new Rubberblaster 5600xyz! And Drake gave in to her pleading cause hes Drake. A infected InkToy attacks Gos and Honker and its time for Daaarkwing Duck! Also Quackerjack will most likely use the buildings speakers to announce ITS PLAYTIME while offscreen talking to mecha Mr bananabrain about how of course Darkwing is there to spoil his funtime! People came to see new toys so they will get new and exciting toys! ... battle happens... Then Megavolt blasts through the door, shoves Darkwing out of the way and starts zapping the aggressive toys and shouting at Quackerjack in the meantime... for whatever reasons. Also at some point the mutated ink toys turn against their master and start to go against Quackerjack who is then in a pickle and in need of rescue … Megavolt and Darkwing combine Gasgun gadgets and electro buzz buzz and zap destroy the toys that are attacking Quackerjack, while Gos and Honker put soap into the water sprinklers, announcing over the buildings speakers that its ready. Darkwing yells at Megavolt to zap the sprinklers so all the ink gets wet with soapy water. Of course Megavolt shorts out for lols and giggles, shocking Quackerjack with him in the process, maybe Darkwing too. Launchpad is still choking a fluffy teddy that goes limp after the ink is washed away. After the water is done, all toys go back to normal, people cheering for Darkwing. Megavolt and Quackerjack get either escorted to prison or they escape again but that wouldnt really be a conclusion to his arc... hm maybe the "my own toys attacked me, i guess they are dangerous after all" shtick but i dont think so. it must be some kind of revelation like bushroot but he also ended up in prison. honestly, Megavolt giving Quackerjack a good old slap to the beak would also work... Quackerjack will most likely finally drop the mecha mr bananbrain. Or hell maybe Mr. Mecha Bananabrain becomes alive too cause he gets ink on it and is the biggest threat, leading to Megavolt being the hero of the day since mecha bananabrain is most likely also weak to electric shocks... eh.. we shall see soon or not lol. There. Done.. Or something. There might be a chance that Megavolt stays out of it all and Darkwing just talks Quackerjack out of it like Batman does to Joker but Sparrow also mentioned that Megavolt would have been part of the story too so... eh.. Im tired. I go sleep now.

Y'know, it's almost May now, and I'm still wondering when Aaron Sparrow is going to be releasing that alleged canceled 2011 DWD Boom Comics QuackerJack Goes on a Rampage arc he promised to post way back in October.

Does that thing even exist, or did he just blurt that out to try and steal hype from the new DWD Dynamite Comics?

Like, it's been 6 months, are you going to share them or not? The hype is starting to dwindle.
