#ik ik trial and error

just spend the last few hrs editing

you think if I ask really really nicely the universe will give me adhd meds for my birthday next month

[shinkai-kaiju]

arguably the worst thing about having a pet in a family that has never had pets/everyone had them when they were younger in a different country, is the part where i have to explain "no this cat cannot have garlic yes i know your family fed your cats and dogs what they ate and it had garlic but im telling you that you were poisoning them even if they seemed fine and i would like you to not poison my cat" and "assume every leaf will make her combust violently yes i know your dog ate poisonous animals and lived but my cat is not built for that"

Fic talk part (?)

Ihiap/twbb

I want to go back in time and interrogate 2021 max on what kind of drug she was on. Tell me how i did 48 chapters of ihiap in 10 months then its taking me over two years to do 15 chapters of twbb. Im not good at math but thats a drastic decrease.

I really want to delete ihiap/twbb and do like a complete rewrite but im scared of losing all my comments and stuff on them. But i also dont want people to read them anymore. Its a struggle.

When i do the rewrite im doing everything so differently. Names are getting changed certain things are getting taken out its going to be a whole new fic.

The way i got 48 chapters in 10 months was because they all sucked ass. I hate ihiap with every fiber of my being.

Ik the actual answer (is a combination of that) and the fact that 17 year old max was going through some shit ™️. It was just all around not a good time for anybody.

Something funny that i did was that i really hated being a minor on the internet so id only talk about the more 'adult' expieriences in my life. Like i didnt out right lie about my age but i just tried to make people assume i wasnt a minor. Not because i wanted into 'adult spaces' like i very much respected 18 + blogs and stuff but because some of you guys are so fucking weird to kids.

Anywho Ihiap and Twbb are on hiatus now (have been for a while actually) and idk when im going to get back to them. Might be a while.

Cots:

When i did that wip ask game a while back i got enough asks about it to assume some of you guys are slightly invested.

Cots isnt even the real name of it anymore but im still not completely sure about the new name so were keeping it as is

I lost the fucking outline to it and im genuinely so upset 💀💀

It was in a notebook thatvi lost and im terrified someones going to find it.

Ill die

Anywho i cant remmeber what all i mentioned about cots but its a sokka centric fic. Zuko is probably the second most prevelant followed by katara and azula and those four are the main characters.

Sokkas a bender!

The fire nation is shitty as usual

And i dont want to give away a lot bc idk. I like being mysterious.

I wanted that to be out by the end of the year but thats not looking good bc i lost the outline. Even tho i have the first like 5 ish chaoters written i want more before i post it.

But all in all ive never been so excited about a fic i love it sm

Totp:

This doesnt even exist in my mind anymore

[autistickaitovocaloid]

Annoyed because the edit mode version of boku no sainou I downloaded has like a millisecond of difference between the chart and the audio and I don't know how to fix it.

summary: after all of the trials, tribulations, and failed relationships of your life, you deserve your happy ending. content warning: soft launch and hard launch. sibling dynamics (bullying). reader's mom. puns. happily ever after. elden-ring dlc spoilers!

from serene: the insane amount of work i did to make fake clips of a twitch stream…there’s most definitely an easier way to do it. unrelated: i did not think a lewham win was in the cards this year, but i'm so fucking happy that he did win silverstone! of any race, i'm glad it was that one. finishing up toasty part two today, so expect it to drop tomorrow or the day after that! and most importantly, enjoy this final installment of error 404: plot not found xxx

luxiem as bad sex

don’t worry about it this is mostly for the lolz. might fuck around and do this for other livers next time i feel restless. make sure to properly communicate with your partner

tags: gender neutral reader, established relationship, smut, humor/crack, chatfic in shu’s entry, public sex, uki violeta cameo, cheating/ntr mention, just imagine the baldur’s gate 3 scene with the luxiem guy of your choice you know what i’m talking about

⚠️ nsfw under the cut. content not intended for minors.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

🖋 Ike Eveland: anatomy

there is a chance that, when you sleep with ike, despite his title, it’s his first time.

25% chance says that he fully does not know what he’s doing, and asks you for a full-blown tutorial on how to stick part a into part b.

25% chance says that he fully does not know what he’s doing but he doesn’t even admit to it. it’s a lot of trial and error and insistence that no, don’t worry, i got this when he very clearly does not.

25% chance that, for the first time in his life, eroge has come in clutch. he understands! kind of. it’s more like as he penetrates you he tries to compare your sounds to the moans of eroge characters. the more you sound like a hentai protagonist the better. it’s also worth noting he pumps into you to the beat of a huniepop song that worked its way into his head while he was trying to figure out what’s a good or bad sound.

and finally 25% chance that it’s just fine.

but let it be known that he 100% does not know how to find the clit. barely knows how to find the prostate either. ike won’t admit to either of these things

.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

🦁 Luca Kaneshiro: openness

never let it be said luca is solitary. he’s social and likes to explore different spaces. it means dates happen often, and so does getting dragged off to give him head in public.

this would be fine if it was a bathroom stall. you know, the standard couple spots. what you didn’t expect was in a fairly open alley. or an amusement park ride with automatic souvenir pictures. or on the shady side of a beach full of people.

hell, even when you get into a changing room while shopping there’s still a risk. he’s gotten you to jack him off while wearing not-yet-purchased jeans more than once and as exciting as it was you have no clue what happened to the poor retail workers that had to find them hanging on the return-to-hanger rack.

at home he leaves doors open since it’s just the two of you, including when he goes down on you. he leaves them open when there’s guests, too, and guides you into your bedroom when he needs a break from talking to people. the doors are still open. you’re a master at being quiet but sometimes his puppy wanders around looking for his owner, and…

(side note: not about sex but i just know he would leave the door open or walk in on you using the bathroom and that terrifies me)

👹 Vox Akuma: names

vox is noisy. delightfully so. it’s easy to communicate with him because he’s unconsciously vocal whenever he likes something.

these sounds, however, are usually limited to grunts, moans and cries. all well and good, but when things get more intense, he’s more inclined to scream your name.

and when his dick is in your mouth he can’t think straight, in the worst way.

this is just to say that even when you’re not roleplaying, he’s cried out a lot of names that aren’t yours. usually celebrities or fictional characters. you’ve lost count of how many tall/dark/handsome guys with long hair he’s cum to, or sassy women. hell, his celebrity crushes don’t even look like you.

if you have cheating fantasies this is excellent. if you have ntr fantasies, excellent as well. what isn’t excellent, however, is how last time you poured wax on him while fucking him from behind, he buried his face into the pillow and whimpered out your coworker’s name.

he was very lucky you didn’t have more wax to splash him with

[reyislikesotired]

yk considering bruce is such a paranoid bat, i'm surprised he didn't have a whole high-heel wearing fighting routine like he's fought catwoman and other female characters who wear heels and fight, heels would make the training 10x harder and help for everyone to have a better center of balance, as well as good for learning to muffle your footsteps with shoes that are typically noisy with every step; not to mention that if undercover work required heels for some reason or other, the person going won't be hindered by heels

also heels can be a deadly weapon, make the heel part of a high stiletto be an actual blade and ik damian and jason are all for it

which brings me to my conclusion that dick, while being a bit wobbly at first, actually takes to it like a duck to water; cass only needed a few minutes to get used to it, she's a ballerina, heels are nothing to her; surprisingly jason doesn't struggle as much as a man of his size typically would but it still takes him a good while before he's as good on heels as not; duke and steph struggle greatly as they keep forgetting they have heels on; tim surprisingly does pretty well in comparison but complains over how much it hurts and still struggles being able to stay standing when pushed too hard; damian learns in like a week simply because he's too stubborn to admit defeat and spent almost every waking hour wearing them, getting used to them, and training with them (i wouldn't put it past him to go to school wearing some black, easily non noticeable smaller heels just to continue his training)

bonus: bruce, while training them for heel combat, wears heels and makes it look v easy but then one night catwoman comes over or smth and she cackles when she tells the batfam stories of when bruce had asked her for help on that and the many trials and errors he struggled through; no one noticed but during that time, batman added heels to his usual get up for extra training (he got rid of them after he was much more proficient in heel combat but tim and barbara were able to find some old footage of batman swinging thru gotham; there they were able to confirm that batman was sporting some high thigh length platform heel boots because ofc if the bat is going to do anything, it must fit his aesthetic and be dramatic too)

Headcannons for Auron as a dad? (I can’t stop thinking about it)

Dad Auron HC's

Has a fear that he'll end up like his step dad. But also knows he never wants his kids in his other business.

Auron is rich but he wants his kids to be humble and not think that since dad has money he'll get them whatever they want.

If the kid does a really big achievement he'll give them gifts or money if they want.

The kid has a small allowance they he helps teach them to budget it.

The kids room is decorated however they want it and if something breaks or needs to be replaced Auron is on top of that.

I think he's scared that he'll seem too distant for the kid to talk to him. So he always talks to them.

Bringing them to work ONCE and regretted it bc everyone wanted to hold them. Auron being a overprotective dad was like no. But Rook was like let SOME hold our kid.

Since Auron can chose his hours he's probably mostly not going to be in the office. He doesn't want the kid to be lonely like he was when his mom went to work.

If the kid has one special snack or treat they like he always gets it for them.

Does background checks on the school, staff and families that go there. If he doesn't like it he won't let his kid go 50 yards near it.

Def doesn't want them to go to a private school, maybe a public school he trusts.

Has threatened to shut down a school bc his kid was bullied and punched the bully. Auron was raising he'll in that office.

When the kid was born he brought Faust to where the baby's were sleeping and said

"I know we don't get along. But I have a kid, your their uncle. I want you in their life, so please be civil for them."

Goes to every teacher parent conference. Rook has to be there bc the teacher is scared to say something if their kid were being bad in class.

Is strict but to a degree. Sometimes he does do a lil too much bc he is overprotective but Rook basically tells him

"If you don't let them do shit they'll resent you from that. Let them go to that party if they wanna get picked up early we'll get them."

Rook has to reel him back for being overprotective. Like yes ik you have enemies but, our child needs a normal life.

Once the kid hits adulthood Auron will tell them about his other job. Rook is there too being emotional support for both sides.

The teen years were interesting for him, bc the kid seemed to lean towards the goth/scene aesthetic. He got war flashbacks and tried to help them figure out what they wanted to wear.

No matter what his child wants to be or is he'll love them either way.

If the kid moves out when they become an adult he feels like a empty nester. Auron tells them that the doors always open if they wanna come back and just live with their parents again.

I can see him being a girl dad. He's just so girl dad coded. But it would also be interesting if he had all boys.

I think he'd love how the kids look like Rook. Seeing a mini person of the one you love does a lot to you.

He gets deja vu if the kid looks like him and they do something he does.

In all he's trying to balance being a dad and having two jobs. Auron has a fear they'd get kidnapped and used as bait for him so they have self defense classes.

Also the kid knows how to use weapons, also have survival skills incase they get strained somewhere.

Remembers EVERY little detail of his kid. What foods they like, dislike, favorite color, birthday, time of birth, social security number, favorite animal and much more. He keeps tabs on it and updates it if anything changes.

He's trying and he'll stumble but that's what it's like to be a parent. Trial and error till you get it right.

I think he'd have two kids. Maybe he ends up with twins at first or has two kids 4 years apart. He doesn't want them too close to age incase it'll hurt Rook if they give birth. Or if they adopt he'll get then close to age to make it easier.

AAAAND THAT'S 2 FORMS DONE!

I WAS thinking of doing the final boss form right after this, but I want to save that for when I... well, have ideas for the entirety of the story so ik what I want to strive for. NONETHELESS, I got the rough design of an Odin form done atleast! Unfortunately, I think I made him resemble Bahamut more than Odin lmao but yolo.

Next up is Frisk-- I'm torn for the designs colours specifically for them, because Bahamut- the summon actually used for Frisk, is pretty mute in colours, so I'm wondering if I go mostly grey??? but hhhrgggg it'll take a bit and a lot of trial and error. ANYWAYS enjoy Asgore in both his normal king form, and his Odin armour >:3 I had alota fun with these! And yes, his horns do extend more when he's... in his Odin form shghsdsd bc alot of Odin designs in FF have wacky ass, very curly and large horns :>

United Kingdom, In the countryside near London, in a mansion near the coast.

The lively voice of two boys was all it could be heard in the room, it was by no way the proper behaviour between an attendant and his lord but neither of them minded because Alfons, that the name of the little lord’s attendant, would have done pretty much anything to make Elbert, his master, smile.                                     

Countless attempt to which that night signed another fruitless one as Alfons’ struggles to place a smile on Elbert’s lips and make him forget all about his demons were all in vain, the sweet illusions he so readily showed other people through his ability never lasted on him making the young servant even more determined to make the happiness he would have gave his lord real, for once, as nothing has ever been for him.

“The prince and the princess married and they lived happily ever after.”

“Were they really happy?”

The hint of doubt in his lord’s words made Alfons hear throb in sympathy for him, a painful truth he should have never been aware of.

“Yes, so very happy especially because you see their palace was filled to the brim with shiny objects.”

Calloused fingers trailed over the golden decorations hand painted on the shiny scarlet cover of the book he was reading from, smiling like old accomplices as he leaned over Elbert looking up at him with childlike wonder in his sea blue eyes, sparkling in the dim light of the room.

“They were beautiful?”

“Oh yes, the most beautiful in all the Kingdom.”

“I want them too.”

Neat fingers grabbed the blankets raising them until only his eyes were visible, a childish habit Alfons hadn’t the heart to reprimand him for, instead his rough fingers cradled though his blonde locks brushing briefly over his cheeks only to boop his nose as he looked intensely at him.

“I am sure you will acquire them all.”

“So they will forgive me … and then … everyone will be happy right?”

His light blue eyes filled with tears Alfons saw through, unable to stay still he slid his thumb on Elbert’s cheek in a vain attempt to cheer him up, his skin so soft and smooth under his calloused finger and yet something told him his heart to be covered in scars so deep it would have been quite a trial to touch it unharmed like a rose with its thorns, beautiful but engulfed in pain just like he was in Alfons’ eyes.

“Of course they will.”

A bitter smile curled the valet’s lips as he tucked the blanket around his little lord, paying attention to not leave any side uncovered and yet at his monotone voice his usual composure faltered making the duvet slip through his fingers as he widened his grey eyes looking up at him.

“Are you happy here … Alfio?”

A piercing pain pinned through his heart making him unable to move like one of those butterfly specimen his master loved so much doing, his own heart throbbing for the kindness he saw reflected in those innocent eyes that should have never been stained so much with tears, his lord’s heart far too sensitive to not be scarred by such memories.

“I am, Elbie.”

Short digits stretched around his tiny mouth covering a yawn, soon followed by his blonde head drowsily laying against the pillow looking up at his loyal attendant as he bent over him from his place on the bed.

“Good night Lord Elbert.”

Alfons had just brushed the gentlest of kisses on his hair when suddenly bony pale fingers gripped his wrist, a look of terror he rarely saw in his azure eyes as he looked back at him.

“Please stay.”

A plea the attendant found himself unable to answer, he knew of his scars, no one would have remained sane in his shoes, not even himself, for it he can’t ignore his lord’s pleas, spurring by the fear at the prospect to be swallowed whole by his own demons.

The valet’s composure faltered for once, in doubt about what to do he decided to ask, lest to appear like another of the ones that sought to take advantage of him.

“Is that really what you want, Elbie?”

“Yes … unless you don’t want to.” Shyness lingering in his smile as he looked at him, reminding him of a stray cat, confused but very affectionate.

“What reason do I have to refuse?”

What reason indeed he had except his fear to get too attached to a boy that had already made his way in his heart, making him unable to forget or leave him even if it was maybe the wisest thing to do, but the truth was that his foolish heart didn’t give him the luxury to walk away from a person that so clearly needed him.

“I don’t know.”

The way Elbert’s fingers tortured the hem of the sheets didn’t fly unnoticed to his grey eyes, a candour in his answer Alfons didn’t know how to react to, and so he followed his lord’s wishes sliding under the covers with him, letting his master cling to him like he was a plush, if that was enough to comfort him and make him happy, even if for a little while, then so be it.                                                                                  Alfons would have said and done anything to make him feel better to see that gentle smile he liked so much curl Elbert’s rosy lips.

“Sweet dreams Elbie.”

“Sleep tight Alfio … and thank you.”

Thanks as if he deserved any, he was only taking advantage of a warm house, food every day and comforts he never ever dreamed of having all that because of his little master naivete.

Alfons felt sick to his stomach at the thought he was fooling that poor young boy that clearly had seen enough to have his smile erased from his lips and nightmares enough to plague him for a lifetime. 

The minimum he could do was help Elbert forget and be, even if for a far too fleeting instant, happy like he deserved to be.

A murmur rolled down from Alfons lips, betraying a secret he was determined to hold close to his heart, affection misplaced for someone so wicked like him could have never ever been worthy of such a pure, beautiful person like his lord was.

“I love you Elbert.”

Alfons was sure he couldn't hear him and yet the gentle way Elbert snuggled to his chest smiling put his heart at ease, for once at least Alfons’ got to be loved and cherished as he never was, and that for tonight was enough to make him drift asleep amidst the velvety duvets of the bed, an unusual comfort he never knew he needed nor believed he could have ever afford nor be worthy of … unreachable exactly like his love.

United Kingdom, London, In an overstuffed room in Crown Castle.

Ever since moving to the castle Alfons hoped with all his might that the hellish nightmares that plagued Elbert’s sleepless nights would have become a memory of the past … foolish to to think that such a kind heart like his lord possessed would have not been scarred for life from the trials and tribulations he had to go through all alone before in a twist of events Alfons didn’t get to live with him, able to ease his pain not with his ability but with efforts, something he wasn’t used to and probably wouldn’t have done for anyone else but Elbert, the only one capable to have entered in his heart so delicately Alfons didn’t noticed until it started beating out of control for him, the sign of a love that should have never been but that against all odds it was.

That night one of the many Alfons did his best to ease his lord’s sufferings … but in vain, a pain unbearable was for him to see Elbert crumble down before his eyes for a sin he hadn’t committed, and so he did the only thing he was capable of … he wrapped his arms around his master’s back, holding him tight to his chest as he rubbed his beautiful face on his muscular chest.

“It is my fault … Everyone was unhappy because of me. It is … all … my fault.”

Each word punctuated by heavy sobs as Elbert clenched to him, Alfons’ fingers tightened in his platinum locks shoving him even better against his chest, every tear soaking through his shirt a sharp dagger in his heart.

-What could he say to him?

-What could he do to make him smile?

Alfons racked his brain for an answer but no matter what he drew blank and so he kept shut, his sturdy fingers rubbed circles on Elbert’s back letting him unwind every emotion brimming over from his sensitive heart, closer to crack at each sigh as his bony fingers clawed the back of his valet’s shirt enough to leave crinkles and faint red signs on his scarred skin but he didn’t mind, Alfons sucked in a breath when his short clean nails scraped over an old whipped wound of his, but even if it hurt he didn’t pull away.

Because in all truth if this was enough to put his master’s mind and heart at ease, or sort of, there was nothing he wouldn’t have endured for, like all the times that caring nothing for his own safety he had saved his little lord’s life from the reckless bets they used to do.

“It wasn’t your fault.”

Unable to stay still any longer words he always thought tumbled off Alfons’ tongue, silver eyes set ablaze with something aking passion met his light blue ones, still reddish and misty with tears, Elbert’s pale skin was coloured by a faint pink on his cheeks caused by the way he harshly rubbed his face on his old friend’s sturdier chest.

“I am happy because of you.”

A look of incredulity glimmered in the muddy like water of his sea blue eyes almost as he was clearly seeing his attendant for the first time since that evening.

“Are you?”

His voice groggy and hoarse from all the shriek of agony that had left his lips as he clung to his friend, seeking solace in his strong arms.

“I could never lie to you Lord …”

A long fingers pressed with more grace than he would have ever had on his lips.

“Elbert.” He let out a cough before speaking again.

“Address me by my name.”

“Is this alright … my lord?”

“It’s an order, Alfons.”

Resolve as the attendant never saw before shone in his master’s eyes looking every inch the prince he always was to him.

“As you wish.”

With a soft sigh Elbert placed his head on Alfons shoulder, his fingers mindlessly caressing his muscular chest smiling at the feeling of his old friend’s lips placing a gentle kiss on his forehead, enough to relax him as he drifted off to sleep.

Morpheus was though not so merciful to his attendant, dreams so vivid he wished were real waltzed in his mind as he held the object of his love between his arms, his one and only treasure in the whole world, the only gift he received and was ready to give up anything else for.

A forlorn smile curled Alfons’ lips as he watched his prince sleep, for once peaceful until a grimace flashed on his pretty features easily brushed off by the gentle kiss he left on his forehead, tucking his blonde locks damp with sweat away from his gorgeous visage, Elbert’s rosy lips curled in a smile as he felt his friend’s fingers brush on his cheeks, the young lord relaxed against his ever loyal attendant chest as he adjusted the blankets around him, shielding him from the cold outside with the warmth of his muscular body.

It was the crack of dawn when Alfons woke up, the slice of light filtering through the closed door keyhole bothering him to the point he draped his fingers over his eyes, grateful for the velvet blue curtains covering the windows, letting his digits slide off only when he felt his prince stir between his arms.

A fond smile curled Alfons lips as he looked down at Elbert, admiring the way his eyelids fluttered open, his voice groggy from disuse was the best melody in the whole world for the valet’s ears enough to make his heart jump mirthfully in his chest.

“Alfio.”

“It’s still early Elbie, you can sleep a little longer.”

A gentle smile on his rosy lips he nuzzled back into Alfons’ chest, purring at the way his muscular arms tightened around him, mindless of the conflict going on in Alfons’ heart, Elbert snuggled to his side, like he used to do when they were little and he was scared of storms, during those long cold nights he spent cuddling close to his old friend’s chest like he was doing right now.

Alfon’s raven curls swayed around his head as he slumped it down on the pillow wrapping one arm around Elbert’s lithe frame holding him close, in his own way hoping to protect him from his demons and shield him from any thing that may have wounded him further, admiring the way his graceful hand squeezed his own.

In his heart, a prayer he knew was destined to remain unanswered.

-If just one grants me this wish … please don’t let him forget me.

A tear rolled down Alfon’s cheek promptly drowned by the soft pillowcase as he squeezed his little prince tightly in his chest taking relief in his warmth, pleasure, as ephemeral as it could be, from the light smile curling his gracious lips.

He needed him.

He loved him.

For the present time he remembered him and for Alfons that was all that he could ask for.

At least for once someone cared for him enough to seek solace in his arms and not out of personal gain to take advantage of him but to offer Alfons all the kindness his beautiful heart had even though Elbert never had any returned to himself.

Similar and yet so different it was impossible to see a more weird pairing than them.

The valet let out a heavy sigh as he brushed his fingers on his unruly curls, his voice a longing murmur rolling slowly from his tongue straight from his aching heart swollen with affection.

“I love you Elbert.”

He knew his precious prince wouldn’t hear him and a part of him was relieved after all he never wished Elbert’s precious affection to be wasted on the likes of him … and yet a part of him felt elated and panicked alike when he met his light blue eyes shining with affection focused on him.

“I love you too Alfons.”

Alfons’ heart beat wildly in his chest, he knew he should have pushed him away, he knew he should have not got attached … and yet the bright smile Elbert offered him was all he could ever ask for and more, enough to make him accept, for once, the love only a kind person like his lord could have ever had for such a lewd, lascivious man like him.

“I know of our curse and fates.”

Of course he did, Roger had to tell him that after all, that gossiper he was, hate melted with affection making the Alfons’ relationship with the former doctor even more complicated than he would have liked to admit.

“Please allow us to spend time together as much as we can.”

Alfons was about reply to push him away as he should have done from the start but was strangely unable to … because in truth he found himself weak in front of Elbert’s sapphire eyes looking up at him like this, so trusting and full of affection the valet couldn’t do anything but accept his master feelings, unable to resist the siren’s song Elbert sweet voice was to his ear, unable to look away from his gorgeous eyes entrancing him as nothing ever did, unbearable even the idea to turn down his love and wound any further the very object of his everlasting affection.

“I need you.”

Elbert’s words made the last of his resistance crumble down, melting like snow in spring, with open arms Alfons welcomed the greedy lips of his lord as he kissed him, inexperienced even clumsy but so very sweet and full of love, bending to his greed the valet embraced all his master had to give, giving in to that same feeling that so long and so deep had took root in his heart, Alfons’ expert lips kissed him back, swallowing his prince’s groans as his calloused fingers tightened on his sculpted hips pulling them closer together.

Reluctantly but breathless they pulled away only to kiss again and again, spending all night showing off their love to one another, only to cuddle side by side in the messed up duvets of the bed as they welcomed the sun rising above the horizon with a smile.

Whats your art process??? Its so lovely and appealing and the colors are so perfect im really curious how you do all of it. Ik its kinda hard for most people to describe their process and thinking and stuff but itd be awesome to see just a speed paint if description is hard!! i love ur stuffs its so nice…

thank you! to be honest i have a completely insane process that involves a lot of trial and error. unless you are a potential employer looking to hire - in which case disregard the previous, my process is 100% intentional, consistent, and i definitely know what i'm doing at all times.

i will try my best to explain!

i usually have a good sense of what i want the final piece to communicate, so my initial scribble is just to get the rhythm down.

readability > accuracy here. i'll usually sketch a few thumbnails because redraws cost basically nothing at this stage.

then i'll follow it up with a colour sketch, to crack down on palette and composition. sometimes it's quick, but other times i can spend a while experimenting lol. this is easily the part that can take longest just because of how much i redraw and move things around.

i like bold colours and restricting my palette for a graphic look (like maybe 4 main colours) - i pretty much just choose colours on instinct (unless, again, you are an employer reading this, in which case that was a lie and my choices are definitely informed by robust colour theory).

when i'm happy with that, i'll redraw the whole thing properly. this is just blocking shapes over my sketch at 10% opacity, and painting details on top. i like drawing whole silhouettes on a single layer, to help keep my shapes strong and legible.

sometimes i'll split things into a few parts for ease of editing, but will keep them in large chunks for the above reason (it also helps because i dislike having to switch layers all the time).

then it's just a matter of finessing! this is my favourite part because i get to switch my brain off and watch panel shows in the background.

that's it, really! sometimes i might add a bit of texture at the end. if you like, this is a really lovely resource: link

hopefully this answered your question, or at least was somewhat interesting! thank you for the kind words <3 i'm always flattered when people are curious about my process, even though i feel just as clueless about it sometimes (employers - you didn't hear that)

Question because I loveeeee talking about how sex and sexy scenes can sometimes just not work because hello, this is real life!

“but gale gets good at rephrasing it in a way that they're both comfortable with, after some trial and error.”

Re. said trial and error: do u think they’ve ever been in a situation where Gale translates Bucky’s desire to be put in his place as him wanting Gale to be mean to him/ put him down. Because I’m just like. Imagine if this did happen in a situation where Bucky was being punished/ is over Gale’s knee. And at the start Bucky is obviously into it so Gale kind of thinks of that as maybe he should amp it up a little and he starts being a little cruel with his words. And maybeeee Bucky whimpers in response but it’s too similar to his other noises for Gale to realize he isn’t liking this and he’s getting in his head. AND then. Because Bucky is a decent way through his punishment, his desire to be good for Gale has really peaked so he doesn’t wanna say anything and he just tries to take the words and really be good but the harsh words in combination with the fact that Gale is a strong man and he’s been spanking for a while now and it’s starting to be a little uncomfy and just. Too much for Bucky. I can see him being able to take a bit of uncomfortable squirmy type pain IF Gale is sweetly talking him through it. But the harsh words and the pain is way too much for him. And eventually Gale notices and they just stop the scene and Gale just comforts and loves on him <3

referenced post | hellooo yes i can elaborate! i also love talking about how sex can not work out; i feel like it adds so much to a pairing’s dynamic when everything’s not cookie–cutter perfect, and like you said, in real life it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. 1.5k words of nsfw drabble below the cut (ik. so much for short replies sigh) <3

i can for sure see things getting lost in translation, or just miscommunications happening, or trying things they think they might like but then finding out they don’t like it, etc. but i think with ‘canonic’ characterization, in the context of gale actually being mean/putting john down, this probably isn’t something that would happen, because i think even if john genuinely did want that, it’s something gale wouldn’t be comfortable with. i feel like he’d maybe be fine with being mean in a teasing way, ie: light degrading, light humiliation, that sort of thing, but anything actually ‘unkind’ even if it’s all part of a scene, i’m not sure it would fly with him, or at least the way i view/write his character!

but for the sake of fun brainrot? absoluuutely lol. >:) and as an aside in this scenario, i could even see john himself thinking he’s wanting gale to be mean to him, not understanding that the actual desire is him wanting to be put in his place and roughed up, and not realizing his miscalculation until it’s (in his mind) too late. + the outcome of all this is likely some level of subdrop, but they’re two dudes in the 40s, they wouldn’t have that vocabulary lol, so it really does all circle back to trial and error and figuring out what the other really needs. :-)

i can see this starting out with john spending a day really acting up to ensure he gets under gale’s skin good, because as outwardly confident and content to run his mouth as he is, sometimes he doesn’t feel like asking for what he needs, maybe even feels a little bit embarrassed having to say it out loud. that, and there’s more of a thrill when gale just does it on his own, because it gives john the genuine feeling of having control taken from him. 

by the end of the day, gale’s at the end of his rope. he gets john alone finally and tangles a hand in his hair and gives it a harsh tug as he asks “what the hell’s gotten into you today?” and he can tell exactly what type of mood john’s in just by the way his jaw goes slack and how he looks a little winded at the show of force. so gale pushes him down to his knees, grabs his jaw with a firm hand, says “y’want me to be mean?” and john’s already a bit flushed, nods dazedly, and gale tightens his grip and goes “really, now?” and john nods again, whines a little, and well, alright. who’s he to deny him?

and maybe john even pushes a tiny bit more so gale has a reason to let himself be a little more cruel; maybe gale sits on the couch and tells john “over my knee.” and john just stays kneeling with droopy eyes and a lopsided smile, knowing damn well he’s playing with fire, and gale has to stand back up and drag him over by the back of his neck and drape him over his lap himself. john’s thrilled, obviously, already dizzy at being manhandled like that, but gale’s even more ticked off.

so john gets bent over gale’s lap and is made to count each hit as gale gives him a generally disapproving verbal lashing, y’know classic “i thought you like being good for me john, what happened? you think you were good today?” to make john squirm, to get him flustered a little having to focus on counting and answering questions. gale can feel that john’s hard and leaking against his thigh, and he’s making the prettiest, desperate little noises in between the words he manages to choke out, and right about now’s where he probably strays out of character.

they’re both so caught up in the scene, and john sounds so worked up that gale knows he’s giving him what he needs, so he lets his tongue get a little more sharp. maybe morphs into the territory of “can’t use your head right, huh? just can’t learn to listen for once?”, “don’t know why i keep trying to teach you to be good when you seem to enjoy disappointing me,” “shouldn’t even be touching you right now, you don’t deserve the attention.”

and all the while, john’s hips are wriggling, and he’s gasping out small noises, but he’s long since stopped counting and his head’s feeling fuzzy in a not–good way, and whereas gentle words between teasing would usually ease the sting on his ass, there’s no reassurance to cushion the ache of each hit this time. but he’s still all worked up and floaty and all his brain can comprehend is that gale’s unhappy with him, disappointed, fed up, and none of it in a fun way, so he wants to fix that, and the most obvious way to him with the state he’s in is to make gale proud by sitting through his punishment.

john tries to continue being responsive, to attempt to answer gale’s questions, to apologize at the right times, to just push on through because he’s sure gale’s close to done and then they’ll both get to make each other feel good. but he feels stupid and bad and he kinda just wants to curl in on himself, and a small part of him is telling him gale doesn’t actually believe what he’s saying, but the rest of him is taking the words to heart. his eyes are stinging and suddenly he’s blinking away tears and whimpering out a string of “sorrysorrysorryi’msorry” and then gravity’s shifting as gale abruptly pulls him up and into his lap, warm hands cupping his face.

soft, frantic murmurs of “hey, heyheyhey, what’s wrong, baby?” as wide eyes search john’s flushed face, thumbs gently stroking over tear streaked cheeks, but john’s in no state to speak or explain where his head’s gone. it’s alright though; it doesn’t take more than a few seconds for gale to clue in, and then he feels awful, but he’s immediately focused on calming john down. pulls him in close and tucks john’s face against his neck, murmurs “oh, sweet thing, i’m sorry, that was too much, wasn’t it?” as he rubs john’s back, kissing the top of his head. assures him over and over that he’s not actually mad, that he is so good for him, a good listener, could never disappoint him, etc.

just keeps quietly talking and petting his hair and squeezing him tight until he can feel the tension slowly leave john’s body as he relaxes into his lap. and john feels stupid as he calms down, feels like he’s made a big deal out of nothing, like it shouldn’t have affected him so much, and then he gets in his head about that, but gale can hear the hamster wheel in his head going and murmurs all fondly, “i can hear you thinking, john. you stop that right now.” and it gets a wet laugh out of john, a sniff.

gale asks if it’s alright to move to their bed, and john nods, so they get cozy there instead, and john feels ashamed for (in his mind) ruining their evening, and gale feels terrible for making john feel bad about himself for even a second, kicking himself for not realizing things were off sooner. so there ends up being a bit of a joint need for reassurance, gale making absolutely certain john understands he doesn’t actually think any of the things he’d said, and john making sure gale knows he has no reason to feel bad, and that he forgives him (though john doesn’t like that gale's apologizing at all). 

it turns into an evening of aftercare via cuddles and words of affirmation and gentle touches, maybe leads into sweet and soft kisses and lazy grinding and feeling each other up until they get off like that, limbs all tangled up, lovesick pet names and praise from both of them. i think this specific incident would shake gale up so much that– if there wasn’t one already that john had just been reluctant to use during the scene, in which case a serious conversation would need to be had between them– he’d ensure they establish a safe word, and on top of that probably stick to softer things for a bit, both of them emotionally tender.

and in terms of trial and error, they’d learn gale’s comfort limit with being harsher, because even if john had enjoyed all of it, gale thinks that he might’ve still felt a bit guilty afterwards, finding more enjoyment in putting john in his place with light scolding or teasing to accompany whatever the physical punishment is. and they’d learn john’s comfort limit with being verbally punished, because while he most definitely gets off on gale being mean/rough, he gets in his head about things really easily, especially if the words touch on sore spots (that he may or may not even be aware of). 

but they never shy away from trying new things together; it’s all part of the process and even if it’s sucky sometimes to deal with things not turning out the way they anticipate, it teaches them better communication and brings them closer and they always bounce back in the end. <3
