Back in winter 2022 I started working on a comic of one of my favorite nsfw oneshots, Practical Demonstration, made like five pages, and then promptly dropped it cause I was still in the midst of Art Block From Hell, among other reasons

but the fic series recently got an update and I read it on a flight last week, which has renewed the brainworms :)

The comic's FAR from finished (I've thumbnailed the entire thing and it comes out to twenty-eight pages, while I have thirteen of those pages in varying stages of completion) but I've been having a lot of fun working on it and forcing myself to try and learn new things (backgrounds/environments, in this case) in the pursuit of Harvey Smut LOL

I thought I'd post some WIP shit here, in case ADHD gets my ass and I end up dropping it again 😭 pray for me

okay so... (spoilers for chapter 40 of Keys Are People, Too)

I've been reading "Keys are People, Too" by the talented @inc0mple, and I swear I can't stop thinking about it, so I needed to do a little drawing of one of my favorite scenes.

If you enjoy Cinderella Boy, you should go read it!! You'll absolutely love it. Seriously, this is genuinely the best fanfiction I've ever read. Go give the author some love!!

(expect more fanart from me soon cause i'm OBSESSED)

I have quickly found I don't know what to post exactly, so uh... here's a bit of info about my (current) headcanons for Poppy's fam, I guess.

I headcanon the Pop Trolls were stuck in the Troll Tree for generations. At that point, they'd all adjusted as much as one can adjust to a life like that. Digging escape tunnels through the roots of the tree was Vida's idea. She convinced an initially hesitant Peppy (because there was the risk of severe punishment if they were ever caught trying to escape) to take a chance on it. She essentially led that project, though it took many years to dig out to the ends of the roots far beyond the perimeter of Bergentown.

Viva's ten years older than Poppy. The year Poppy was "laid", Trollstice came along before she'd hatched. The immediate royal family was meant to be exempt from Trollstice, because they were meant to manage the Trolls on the royal chef's behalf, but the Chef from 2016 went against precedent. The queen of the Bergens had recently passed, and to cheer King Gristle Sr. up (and to get in his good graces) she broke the rules and served him the queen of the Trolls for Trollstice.

Two years later, at dawn on another Trollstice day, they finally dug out into the forest outside of Bergentown. That's my reason for the Trolls escaping at the very last minute before the Trollstice feast. Instead of allowing another Trollstice to come to pass, Peppy chose to evacuate the tree that very morning as fast as they could, choosing to have faith that no more lives would be lost on Trollstice and not a single Troll would be left behind.

The Bergens caught on before the Trolls were fully out of the tunnels, and so many Trolls were separated and presumed dead, Princess Viva included.

Peppy got a lot of his courage from Vida's support throughout the years. The girls get their determination from her (and their cheery peppy attitudes from dad). Vida convinced him to hope that the Trolls could be free one day when he'd grown up being taught that the best hope for a happy existence for his people would be to accept their fates and focus on the bright side of their lives in the Troll Tree. In a lot of ways, he was a coward before Vida encouraged him to strive for more. But even if most of the Trolls escaped and they all believed they would never have to worry about Trollstice again, the loss of Viva and all those other Trolls ruined his confidence. He'd failed. He was two steps forward and one step back in as far as overcoming his cowardice. That's why he's much more pragmatic in the present, "not the king he once was", and ends up clashing with Poppy's unrelenting optimism.

So uh... ye.

Featuring my small redesigns

[psychomusic]

oc time again! + her town & culture (heavily inspired by pre-roman italic populations)

she is suri sauthon. her story is linked to my swtor imperial agent, tar'x, but most of her life except for the one year away where she meets him, is spent in a town in the mountains of mirial.

despite mirial being cold and desert, and many cities developing underground, her town flourishes thanks to a force nexus, venerated in the form of an ancient, sacred, alive crystal. the ecosystem of that mountain depended on what "the horned crystal" was capable of giving them, but mirialans couldn't live off of that alone, so they developed trade and some rudimental technology, even if oftentimes it was bought thanks to the highly profitable trade of a plant used to make medicines that slowed down aging and had overall healing properties.

note: everything that's generated by this nexus has these healing properties BUT they have to be processed, except for those who bathed in the waters of the cavity under the crystal - the "real" nexus, but not the worshipped one. the waters were sacred but they were not thought to be miraculous, unlike the crystal, who instead was thought of as the keystone of the ecosystem: without it, everything would fall apart (and that is partially true: the cavity was the "real" nexus but thanks to the crystal, also strong in the force, the properties were spread all over the mountains). those who bathed in the cavity's waters - so, all of the town, who had a sort of baptism there - could eat the plant, make whatever food with it, and not only that plant, but everything generated by the nexus, that, again, had similar properties. this allowed people to live up to normal life-spans without advanced medicines or, much, really. to those who didn't live there, though, after the processing, had incredible effects, slowing down aging - for those who took it regularly - and making people able to live up to half a century more than the average]

originally, there were four tribes of nomads that lived thanks to horned farm animals that decided to settle down into one bigger town and other smaller settlements, to live off of transhumance. this division of the tribes stayed into the political and social organization: every person belonged to one tribe specifically, and had slightly different rituals and culture. for examples, each tribe had their own priests and healers, with different techniques and traditions. the town, tho, was guided by a group of people in the high priesthood, a position you could reach only by having earned the trust of all tribes. those high priests had many roles: they guided the people into sacred processions common to all the tribes, they managed the trading with outsiders, they did the maintenance of the temple of the summit (the one that functioned as casket to the crystal) and created a special liquid to offer the crystal that helps it grow.

this particular temple was important because 1. it was very visible, from every angle of the town, and it became an important identity symbol; 2. it stored the venerated horned crystal; 3. it had the altar where sacrifices were made for the crystals. that altar had a hole connected to the cavity, that allowed the liquids to reach the underground; 4. it had various symbols: statues representing each tribe + the high priesthood, and typical mirialan tattoos carved into the wood of the trees that served as columns for the temple, symbolizing 8 values that who dared to enter HAD to have; 5. it was on the way to an important lake (called "mother lake" because the lake the town was built around to depended on the waters of that other lake) where they traveled to in important processions; 6. it was said that a the wizard who unified the tribes made it with its magic, making the plant grow to hold the temple's roof. this wizard was, actually, a force user, obv.

BACK TO HER THOUGH: she's daughter of one of the high priests, who was in charge of managing the trades with outsiders, and lives in a house on the mountains with her mother and him. her parents are from different tribes (that's one of the things that earned him trust from the 4 tribes): when a child is born from two different tribes, they don't pick one to allign to, but they're usually linked automatically to the one with more relatives in it (in her case, the father's tribe: she had many uncles and aunts on his side while her mom only had one sister).

later, though, she got quite tied to her mother's tribe due to a mysterious illness that only her mother's tribe healer was able to cure. she spent 4 years (from 10 to 14 years old) living with the healer and learned her secrets. to better study, she wrote them down. when she returned home, she studied to become a priestess with her father. at 22 (the average age: you can't become priest before your 20s), she was supposed to take a test and become a priestess, but the healer of her mother's tribe died and the tribe asked her to take her place. she couldn't technically do that, but both tribes estimated both her and her parents and she was allowed to become both. she then decided to try to become a high priestess, and became one at 25 (a quite young age). being part of the council, she tried to convince the various tribe healers to unite their knowledges and write them down, and eventually made it. healers still remained tribe based but they now had an "upper, inter-tribe level" similar to high priesthood.

years later, the sacred horned crystal is stolen from the temple by some Hutt mercenaries looking for a profit. given the trust she has earned from all the tribes and the fact that her father is the high priest that deals with outsiders (and she's been hearing stories and advice about it since she was little), she is the one tasked with getting it back. without the growing crystal, the keystone to their ecosystem, the village would have lasted only a few years. in hrr quest, she meets imperial intelligence agent tar'x laran and, as they "solve the mystery" and fight to have it back, they get closer. they'll get married and have a daughter, Vegoia (who's the only one who actually will get to the plot of my story. this was all background)

So I've been following @indieyuugure's The Mutation Situation (which is very very good), and after reading her post about how the turtles can't have it all, the next time I listened to this song this idea assaulted me like a vision.

So obviously I had to go on a weekend art binge.

[zecoritheweirdone]

okay so i have, like. a lot of msa doodles that i just haven't posted anywhere,, mostly of aus i've barely talked about, if at all,,, and like. i've mostly been waiting on posting some of them until i writes lil smth 'bout 'em,, since i have a habit of sharing art for aus and then never doing anything with them again,,, but like. haven't been in the mood to write for a while 👍. so i might as well share 'em now instead of letting them rot,, dkdjsks. so here's a peek at what goes on inside my mind!
