#im finally figuring out how to draw him properly

[spottedgardeneelstan]

he can be yuor white lotus or your demon king

[bacchuschucklefuck]

no more fan-ta-sizing about it! everything's already changed~

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

More of my TF2 × Gravity Falls crossover because the idea of Stan interacting with the mercs and slowly being accepted into their found family has been EATING away at my brain!!

Rambles:

- I already said this but Stanley's basically hired as the grunt/muscle for Miss Pauling. He helps her out with her missions sometimes and the clean-up that comes after, or just delivers supplies and packages to the mercs :]

- I accidentally made him look a lot older than 19 in my drawings, so he's kinda in the same category as Sniper in the "looks-way-older-than-his-actual-age" department.

- Scout is so happy he's no longer the youngest in the team, and since the nickname "little man" is already taken, Heavy just calls Stanley "child", and Scout teases him about it RELENTLESSLY.

- Stanley has to work with both the RED and BLU team, and is forced to listen to ALL cross-factional the drama, because both teams have somehow dragged him into being their unofficial therapist without his prior knowledge.

im in love with nico asking lewis for a baby!

maybe it's a year or so after he retired, he'd gotten everything he'd wanted, and now he can focus on other things in his life. he doesn't even have to think, he knows he wants it to be lewis' baby, it's always been lewis. nico showing up at lewis' apartment, maybe after lewis wins the 2017 championship, so he knows lewis will be in a good mood, and straight up asking him if he wants to give him a baby. lewis thinking he's either drunk or high, trying to get him to sit down and have a glass of water, but nico keeps rambling on about how he thought about it for a long time, and they can do an artificial insemination if lewis doesn't want to fuck him anymore, they'll split the custody and so much more, and lewis sees that's he's serious, that nico is still holding onto the promise that they'll have children together just as much as lewis. he just kisses nico to shut him up and takes him to his bedroom, he knows how to make a baby thank you very much!!

Plss!

Nico having had a year to heal and figure out his life. He is still hurting, knows hr will never forget the past years but he is doing better, slowly. He wants to be a momma so bad, but in his mind and in his heart rhe pups sire has always been Lewis, there is no other option, not even Jenson who has been his retirement buddy the last year.

Nico being so nervous to ask Lewis tho, waits until Lewis wins the championship in hopes of him being in a good mood and then shows up at his home. Lewis bring quite shocked to see Nico, especially when Nico blurts out he wants to be a momma and he wants Lewis to be the sire, and they can coparent in any way Lewis wants, draw up a contract if needed.

Lewis just thinking Nico is losing it lol and taking him inside, getting him water and just being a little confused but Nico is so clearly sober and alert, eyes sharp as he looks Lewis straight in the eye and asks again, says he never forgot about when they were young and talking about how cute their pups would be. He doesn't imagine anyone but Lewis being the sire; the father, to his children. Nico starting to ramble about artificial insemination if Lewis doesn't want to touch him and okay, Lewis still had complicated feelings about Nico, some anger too, but it cannot be as sterile as artifical insemination if they are going to have a pup together, cos fuck, Lewis wants that too!

Lewis just going "yes", voice hoarse as he interrupts Nico's rambling. Nico being so relieved and so giddy! They either fuck right away or maybe it takes a little longer? Nico wants to do it properly and they have a contract set up about the coparenting etc. When they finally sleep together, both are a little bashful and maybe Lewis said no kissing but when they are knotted together, he can't resist kissing Nico anyways!

Rainstuck 4th and final part of the classpect reasonings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

putting these 4 together bcuz i feel like kurumis and desuhikos analysis dont even deserve their own post bcuz of how unsure i am abt them, halaras too kinda. i also dont have any additional drawings for them so! theres that i guess. more notes in read more if u care...

pt.1 pt.2 pt.3

im kinda bummed that i couldnt rlly incorporate their fortes into the classpects in form of powers bcuz that would make this like 3 times more awesome. buuut it would be so hard to try and make it all work in a way that both their personalities And the powers would make sense for them as characters AND the classpects. so i had to choose and i think matching their personalities was more important. idk

im most happy with vivia. i feel like i could find sth better for halara but honestly i kinda dontttt care for halara that much in general so i probably just dont understand them enough to properly analyze them. desuhiko being heart-bound is nearly perfect if u ask me. maybe i could find a better class for him. kurumi as a heir of space is like... fine. i think i made it work and its enough but again theres probs another classpect that fits her better that i just cant figure out! oh well.

i mentioned grimdark vivia but after refreshing my memory on the horrorterrors i realized that they only communicate with derse dreamers. i could go around it somehow and say that maybe bcuz of his connection to ghosts and shit he could access the outer gods DESPITE not dreaming on derse???? idk, its a bit of a stretch. maybe he could have 2 dream selves! a wink towards his forte? this is homestuck we're talking abt. why should i look for logic here.

another idea for his dream self is that i think it would be fun if he could wake up on prospit pre-session despite not being a space player (tho im not 100% sure thats even canonically a space player thing). "hes just special like that" right. lol but yeah this guy would enjoy prospit i think.. snoozing a lot just like jade and escaping into the perfect peaceful moon world... kurumis there too like "how did he GET here" i dunno im just thinking out loud at this point ermmm

Hey! I read some of your work and I loved it! When I saw your event, I knew I just had to try it! Especially with one of my favorite cookies!

I'd like...prompt 10 with affogato cookie please? I know he likes sweets so I thought it would fit him really well!

Sweet Tooth

affogato cookie x gn reader

prompt: baking sweets & pastries

warnings: physical touch, mentions of food, reader is a menace (affectionately), possibly ooc(?? idk i finished this at 1 am)

"Darling, I love you with all my heart, but just where do you plan on taking me at 1 in the morning?"

A confused and groggy Affogato Cookie followed closely behind a for some reason very awake and bubbly you, not understanding why you decided to drag him out of bed in the middle of the night. Though, he figured you probably wouldn't be answering his question, as all you said in response was, "It's important!" before continuing to pull him down the hall.

A few minutes later, the two of you found yourselves in the kitchen. Affogato gave you a confused look. "Why-" "We're baking midnight snacks and you can't say no!" You quickly cut him off before you rushed to grab the necessary supplies to make some sweet treats.

"Okay, but why-" "I know you like sweets, and I'm hungry, so it's a win-win! Now help me bake these!" Once again cutting him off, you didn't give him any time to respond before dragging him to the mixing bowl and telling him what to do.

After about an hour, the two of you were finally able to take the snacks out of the oven and properly enjoy eating them. "Here, you can have the first one!" You offered, swiftly placing one of the treats in Affogato Cookie's hands. He looked at you for a moment before taking a bite.

The moment he tasted it, his expression lit up. "Oh wow," he spoke between bites, "It's almost hard to believe we made something so sweet! This is absolutely delicious, dear." You gave him a cheeky grin, "Of course it tastes good! We put our hearts into it, after all!"

He couldn't help but smile at your cheesy statement.

To him, your words tasted sweeter than any snacks he's ever had.

2, 6, 16, and 17 for bastien !!

rubs my little hands lets gooo thank you mintt!!

2. How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

🙈 too long... so yknow ive mentioned, Bastien aka The Mechanic existed from the very beginning as a concept and i had some things pinned down immediately for him (ie human, trans guy, does not get with Wolfgang despite their best flirting efforts until it's too late, more down to earth personality) but he was in a very ... very different place, design wise. back then i was thinking more along the lines of long hair and basing his looks on a model, Willy Cartier iirc.

anyway im feeling generous so i will show you this complete stranger

who is this........... its telling i didnt draw him even a single other time, because it was just so empty of anything interesting.

then basically in 2023 i retouched Wolfgangs whole world and got to work on figuring out his design properly. it took a couple more months to fully stabilize after the initial concepts, and yea!

6. What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

i was figuring out his new design based on 1)physical traits i wanted to include for sure (ie big sad cow eyes with pronounced eyelashes, dark hair, hairy) 2) things i find attractive and fun to draw (all of the above and his body type) 3) contrasting and complimentary elements with Wolfgang's aesthetic (hence the darker colors, natural materials, earthy palette)

16. Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

i call him the King of Bad Decisions and the speedrunner any% of ruining all his relationships fhdks

in universe Élise makes fun of him for what they call "old man hobbies" ie doing crosswords 😭

17. Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

already answered here but i will add that i love putting him in leather (jackets and belts and accessories and harnesses) and draw him wearing the latex gloves because i need people to be at the very least subliminally aware he's a kinky faggot.

on a more serious note! something i havent mentioned nor drawn much yet actually but something of a negative motif for him is water, moreso stagnant waters. something that is still and rotten. i have one illustration with heavy water motif planned out and i hope everyone will see it and go like "ohhh" (joking)

[rosyrosethorns]

im having. a really hard time with properly writing out stuff for my new selfship :( due to nothing coming out how i want it.

if you missed the drabble for context, its here. im just gonna summarize in this post…

maul gets reverse-isekai’d when he died in “rebels”. madi finds him unconscious, brings him back to her apartment (since she was scared of hospital bills and the doctors possibly treating him more like a science experiment than a patient), and bandages any injuries. they talk when he wakes up—madi explains what she saw and where he is now and maul gives her a brief run-down of his story and where he’s from.

maul contemplates what to do now—there’s no 100% guarantee his second death will return him to his galaxy—and madi begs him to stay since shes concerned about him being attacked by law enforcement and captured by the government, especially after he shows her a snippet of the whole telekinetic “force” thing he has going on. her concern’s baffling to him, but he complies—he needs time to figure out what to do with his life anyway now that his nemesis defeated him and all that canon stuff.

madi’s reluctant to leave maul at home when she has work the next day, especially since her two guinea pigs are not used to his presence yet, but shes surprised to come home and see that not only is he getting along with her pets but he tidied up a little for her… within a week of him living in her apartment theyre already getting along for the most part (maul has a startling outburst thinking of the past, and madi hesitates to be vulnerable around him at first until a rough day causes her to break down) and eventually madi confesses to already forming a crush on him…

maul has also gotten extremely attached to madi—both because she’s a living example that mercy isnt always a flaw and she’s proven to fill the void of companionship he longed for since losing his brother—and after finally convincing her that he’ll be fine on his own in public, shenanigans ensue between madi helping maul unlearn some of his sith teachings while trying to keep him from drawing attention to himself and maul helping her work past her anxiety/insecurities while proving to be an overprotective boyfriend unafraid to force-choke anyone who hurts his new reverse-isekai girlfriend ówò

[ballplayersxo]

Owner I said awhile ago something was off to me about Shai G.A and I finally figured out what it is…

IT’S THAT DAMN BIG ASS HEAD

He tried to hide it with the headbands, but I finally saw through his dirty trick. It almost look like it’s too big for his body to carry around, his big ass juicy lips is as big as his head so that’s the only thing that’s proportionate to his big ass head but his eyes is small as fuck compared to his big ass head and placing his nose in between the two to then smush everything together to fit that big ass forehead in there wasn’t right from the lord but I guess he got tired after having to construct that big ass cranium and accidentally pushed his eyes down. With that being said he still fine and I hope the head down there is as big as the head on his shoulders, Amen.

See now that I’m thinking about it that’s how he draw all them damn fouls cause he keep swinging that big ass shit back and forth and charging at the defenders so they have to move cause he gonna give niggas concussions. He not even fast fr he just drop that oversized cranium down and fall forward but because he been having to carry that big ass head around all his life he figured out how to balance properly with it.

Im really just fuck’n around he is a fine ass man but I just realized he kinda do got a big ass head.

LMAOOOOO you’re so wrong for this 😭 he does have a big head but which fine man doesn’t!?? leave him alone now…

[artyfartyperson]

you do not have to answer ALL of these ofc im just kind of rambling HEHHEE. okay so.!!!

do you have any particular story behind kais arm burn and gold tooth??

why is lloyds gi sleeveless/has a different sleeve design than the rest? tbh i can see kai and cole taking their sleeves off but not so much lloyd..

are there any meanings/inspiration the sash designs + end tassles come from or are they just Aesthetic? same question for nya and jays gloves!!!

does cole have a ponytail/bun? it kinda looks like he does but ita so dark i can't really tell JGJGNFJG

also just take this as an opportunity to talk about any of the design things you want!!! and like i said if you only answer one or two (or none!!!) of these that's totally good!!! :] im just a curious guy sometimes HGHGJDJF

Yeyeye! I can answer all of them :))))

1. I have a. story for Kai’s arm, it’s got to do with my oc Akako in my AU! It’s around the finale of Season 2, when they’re on the Dark Island. Akako wants to prove to Garmadon that she’s good enough to keep (maybe there’s a conflict or a threat that the Overlord/Garmadon will leave her on the Dark Island while they return to ninjago.) So this time she doesn’t hold back, and neither do the ninja considering she’s been a thorn in their side for some time.

They aren’t exactly aware of her element, and how it works until it’s too late. Any damage she takes she can use it against others, though at the cost of her having to deal with those wounds. This includes elements (if she was struck by Jay she can zap him back ❤️)

Thus, Kai attempts to finish her off once and for all, and stabs her with his sword (im pretty sure their weapons at the time can harness their elements). Akako while decently hurt, uses this as a final opportunity to attack before fleeing (or before going insane who knows (i don’t)). She attempts to absolutely incinerate him but he’s only able to dodge so much and gets burnt really badly on his arm. He takes the gap between season 2 and season 3 (maybe even up until 4) to recover properly. And when she eventually does get her goofy redemption arc he’s the last person to trust her.

As for his gold tooth I’d imagine he got it knocked out around season 5 and got the gold filler before or at the start of season 6 to show off honestly. I think it suits him 🦐

2. Lloyds gi is sleeveless because i thought it’d look decent enough 💀 He’s admittedly a little thinner/lankier than the others though so I might go back to him wearing a tank top or something underneath. He does have gloves that go really high up his arms, so he’s covered up a little bit. Those are just concept sketches I made on a whim however, I’m working on the proper reference as we speak :)

3. There’s somewhat of a connection yes :) Though i need to figure out the plot reason behind it, I do know that they’re based off the tassels of Akako

The season I’m making that those gi appear in is a season based around her, so I thought it’d be neat for their designs to all tie together!

I actually did take a bit of inspiration from Sky: Children of Light, and their cape outfits. There’s a certain cape with tassels coming from them and I thought that’s be cool to incorporate and personalise for each ninja. It’s also a callback to back in 2017/2018 where when I drew them as silly little stickmen I liked to draw their tassels differently! Akako is a reworked oc from back then as well (vomits)

Nya and Jays gloves are more of an aesthetic choice for me, but I do take a lot of inspiration from steven universe and their designs sometimes. With Nya specifically I loved the one fingered gloves that Sardonyx from Steven Universe wear :)

4. That is indeed a Cole man bun he has too much hair for his own good

5. *breathes in sleeveless designs* I like the season 4 designs so much they are my absolute favourite of the bunch! So idk i thought it’d be cool. I have such a soft spot for season 4 oml (i have trauma from season 4 I WROTE A FANFICTION OF SEASON 4 WHERE I INSERTED MY OC INTO IT BUT I WROTE IT WHEN I WAS 10 AND HER NAME WAS SKYLER AND I SHIPPED HER WITH JAY AND KAI HAD A CRUSH ON HER AND SHE WAS LLOYDS COUSIN AND NAWWWWWWW

NAWWWWWW)

yeah i’m so normal about season 4 designs

[spookierz]

redraw of a redraw- self portrait from 2019! and its actually accurate to how i looked!!1! this version of me will always hold such a special place in my heart and im really glad i finally figured out how to draw him properly.

[taylorbuggtaylortot]

Wanna know someone’s true character? Be genuine and loving to them & watch if they take advantage or not. They give back or burn out? They give in or give out? 🤷🏻‍♀️ You shootin your own gahd damn self In the foot. Imma walk away happy as fuck knowing I ain’t color blind when a mother fucker wanna show they true colors.

Girls want men who will treat them like a slut while loving them more than anything. It’s a drug problem. That’s why we accept poor choices of men. We don’t know our worth. I know that

Reading this helped me figure out what I know. Writing helps me figure out what I know.

Home girl told me she felt my freedom the other day and it resonated with me on a whole other level. Probably changed my life and perspective a little bit.. level ups. Lol

This is who I am though. Been confused about how I been feeling but if you know who you are, you figure those emotions out. I haven’t been able to label my emotions properly lately, I guess having gotten out of my last situation, I was looking for my new self. The one I’m creating with out him. And I’ve been acting sad as hell while looking happy all the time... I’ve been being strong. I feel like being free means losing everything because it takes losing everything to know what true freedom is. Im learning how to lose everything and not care. For the record, im not talking about my house and everything like that I lost oddly enough, I’m talking about losing him . I loved him more than I even realized but it was toxic. I’m speaking on my breakup finally I guess to myself. I am admitting all of this to myself. Idk why I blocked it out?? Most people don’t know this unless I’m friends with them personally and so anyone who knows found out by paying attention to the fact I moved and asking me about it. But he was my everything. So yes that makes me sad unfortunately. I don’t want to feel that way but I do. I don’t wanna feel down but that emotion demands to be felt and I don’t know why. I guess I’m still figuring out a lot. I thought being free would fix everything and it did and it didn’t. I guess I’m figuring out what really matters to me. I never realized how much I didn’t actually care about anything other than myself.

And I thought I was the most giving person. I did it cause I was taught you were supposed to, not cause I cared about them.,I had respect. But I know undoubtably I gave a complete fuck about this one man... until I didn’t. I feel like I’ve been conditioned to think being free will make me happy but what about love? Love makes people happy and that’s just a fact if you still have human emotions and you aren’t that fuckin numb yet. Maybe it’s hope. I guess I need to learn love for other people including myself. I have standards and respect towards myself but I don’t think that I have love towards myself.

I don’t care about myself even tho I do things to make myself look like I do , it’s not even cause I actually do all the time. I just believe in doing what’s right. Im un numbing myself from a state I lived in to deal with my last relationship. I’ve been liking dudes who don’t care cause I’m used to being that person and it makes me draw connection but now in partners im drawing connection on better things to want better for myself. Next time both of us are caring and I don’t know how to make sure of the others persons side but im gonna have to do that if I’m gonna love again.,that just breeds more trust issues ?ha... just realized this whole thing is a conversation with myself. Am I saying that just because I’m free should mean im happy though? We all think freedom makes us happy.,

I’m feeling free. I realized that’s how I look and if you know me you can read it too I’m sure. I got rid of my monster and I have never been more in touch with myself while feeling chaotically out of place simultaneously knowing that I’m right where i am meant to be.

Funny how being free makes you so tired in life because losing everything you ever wanted is stressful as fuck. Especially when it was your only means for stability after exiting the most unstable phase of your life after never knowing it.

I’ve been dissociated and auto piloting my whole entire life. I am becoming my higher self now that I developed the ability to realize what I was doing to put in the work to want to do better. I was made to feel like it was impossible love me.. I knew it was acting or what they thought they were supposed to do so they did it. my whole life despite everyone’s efforts to not act that way, I just knew I didn’t belong to my family because they acted like they cared which they did but I was never a priority like they had other things to worry about and I wanted them to include me and love me how they loved other people they loved ... that’s how I knew it was different and it wasn’t real love cause they treated some one else better than me.

Did I just say that treating some one good means you love them? I don’t believe that either. The people who love you like really love you are gonna be the hardest on you, and I just started realizing that I was so damaged of losing my mom and sisters at a young age that I never properly opened myself up to being loved… I’m starting to believe that it’s not. I don’t care and I give no fucks but at the same time you’d say because I have that care

[tryingtolearnartsob]

at least we ended this day on good note about mm angel boy face :’

—I didn’t think I was going to figure stuff, like I did want to but I couldn’t be bothered to get up and do it… and then I saw this art video that was going on about time posed poses and I got to somehow to doing it and these were really fun…!!!!! It was good since it brought up poses I don’t usually do… like a lot of back ones ahaha… and interesting angles….

—and glaring thing I noticed is man im not good at quick proportions like that…. :/ and so I wanted to focus on that and lol my legs was abysmal as usual. so things to work on:

—I honestly was doing that. ways to quickly find portions but it quickly just went into another time posed and I forgot to mention but I was trying to also look at center lines… since it’s establishes the pose quite quickly… also in the corner I tried to just do a pose from imagination and ARM!!!! ANOTHER PROBLEM!!!!

anyways I kind of wanted to focus on legs properly… but really………….it was all over the place…………..ha……………

—as you can see I tried to focus on the satorius(?) or however you spell it muscle but kinda gave up on that after a bit and went back to pelvis lolllll. this session wasn’t very successful djfjfjjf or even going in any direction it was very ??? but I guesss i was trying to find a way to draw the legs and it’s rhythms based on videos I watched but ehhhhh.

—with the pelvis it was a disappointing you couldn’t move the 3D models so like it was at an angle at in front view… but I found a way around it….? where I take a pic of the front of view and angle it…. and well I tried tht…

—and very funny how I thought this was some kind of breakthrough but like lol it’s just too much work….. but I do want to keep it in mind I guess… it’s something I work back on when just checking stuff or etc.

—we’re back to our guy. and okay around 12 I did go to him to draw a bit and immediately gave up ahahah. and when I came back 2200 I was like fine time to bring in the tracing shit and helpppp it was still terrible 💀💀💀💀💀

—BUT FINALLY… THIS PAGE…. I DID IT!!!!!!! MANAGED IT!!!!!! Did a first trace over and tried to try myself and saw what I was doing around and how he typically has a more narrow and wider face…. and he has big pupils and how the outer part of his eye shape is larger then instead… and finally got the whole small mouth and how from mouth the jaw kinda starts and the POINTY!!!! CHIN!!!! and afterwards I tried to fix a prev art I did to this knowledge I had now… it turned out eh the fix since lol it’s hard to fix already finished stuff like that…! but wow I was so happy and like fcking FINALLY that it worked. like look… :’ he looks more like Ian now ahhhhh finallyyyyy. IT ALL PAID OFF!!!! THE TEARS N BLOOD!!!! :’ and I think that what really helped is that wide to narrow chin to remember since I typically draw my faces more narrow and straighter…

alright I have to say it’s kind of funny that I have been wanting to do some lil art like figure pracs but honestly couldn’t be bothered to try to, just no energy/want for it. but as soon as I opened MM to reread for fic purposes…. I got the urge to draw them….!

—okay to be honest… I already wanted got urges to draw the characters before while reading but I was in my Art Needed Break then sooooo. time to do so now and OH MY GOD. I want to squeeze Ian cuz my guy why the f was so diff to draw :’ I wanted to cry at one point but also I do like how pretty he is… n that eyelash… I love drawing his eyes… too… and I think(?) I’ve finally got the hang of drawing him…

—and HA…. the problem really lines on how tch this art style (not really trying to copy the artsyle but get close to it to get more likeness of characters….) and yeah it is hard to get… also it doesn’t help the hair are like complicated shit. well more complicated than the scribbles I do 😫 I think I might have to actually study to do the hair properly 😔 but I at least I got the gist of it……?

—also I do think it’s funny how it took me more than one face drawing to try and get Ian sort of right but lol with sliver boy, I drew him once and was like…?! I already felt like I got the likeness. that was pretty funny. I mean I kinda did feel like I got likeness sort offff for angel boy but hmmmmmmm. it was yknow not enough. also I think it was hard trying to capture for him the feeling of his which was like “narrow/pointy/small” and not to mention the bumps that the artists likes to use…

—also his eyes are pretty hard to get down, I mean I kinda got the gist but it’s different when drawing it with the face. I feel like my separate lil eye studies were better… either way. looking at some fanart, I realised that it’s fine…?! anyways if I don’t get it alll right. it’s cool. I think I just need to get the hair exactly right or more right and that’s fine 😌. I drew him without looking at the source and yknow I think I got him somewhat down also I do think it’s so funny seeing the both of them in together since angel boy looks more finished/pretty then sliver boy LMAO. I guess it’s obvs which one I like drawing more despite how harder it is…. BUT I WILL GET TO YOU SLIVER BOY….

—anyways I think this was fun to do anyways. I don’t usually draw in this style (lol im influenced a lot by naru), but it was fun… and I really do like how the eyes look…. it’s so nice drawing in them… they’re soooo pretty. while🍥 artsyule holds my heart, I have to say ft artsyle is genuinely one of my faves. every time I see it I want so badly draw all the characters!!!! (especially want to get down to drawing dragon fire boy and armour girl!!!!!! ahhhh they’re gonna be so<3 cuz honestly I think that im getting well I wouldn’t say bored but I think that my recent juv stuff isn’t really sparking the same funness as it was in the beginning… I don’t think I’ve really captured what drew and made me love her design so freakin much and just makes me kinda sad ngl… but I WANNA GET THERE ONE DSY!!!! also man I really have to draw armour!!!!!!! girl!!!!! her design is just. idk WHAT it is but second fav… I think it’s just her general vibe ahhhhhh… also weirdly. I love dragon fire boy for his hair 💀 me? wanting to draw something? for hair? yeah I know NDJDKKD but I really love how hair…… I honestly did draw these two (dragon fire boy n armour girl years ago but ah sadly I lost those art but I remember drawing them…..) anyways yeahhhh….!!!!! im excited to get them I mean. I did doodle in dragon fire boy during ft doodle session but it wasn’t really proper stuff.

—to not get derailed: I’ve been only drawing MM faces to get used to it and it’s been really just straight on to…. Like yeahhhh I drew side view and 3/4 which uhhhhh wasn’t great but yeahhhh I probs should prac that but cba too. Also I kinda want to more draw them in poses…… I kinda have general idea of a scene to draw….. but also cba to do that right now. my energy is low. I probs should get back to rereading and lol to that fic’ing idea… 8.44 also ahhh I do want to get back to my onoe face prac (I WILL GET HIM DOWN) so I can draw one of my fav otps ever hehehe and be the only person in fandom lmaooooo. 8.45

[chisatowo]

I should rly draw the snake triplets more I love them sm but also grrrrr human

[stedebonnit]

The holidays have been hard on me, and its got me thinking about how I wish we talked more about the uncomfortable side of autism in Stede.

Namely, I'm thinking about overstimulation and irritability. I'm thinking about Stede having a hard day where the noise and the crowds and the smells just don't stop, and everytime someone speaks or shifts or fucking chews he just finds himself more and more on edge. He knows hes no good like this, he hates feeling this way and he knows he's unpleasant to be around.

But Stede is determined that he'll be different with his crew. He tells himself that this isn't his father who would tell him to sit down and stop melting down over a little bit of noise.

These arent his school mates who would notice him getting agitated and pin him down while they banged pots and pans until he was squirming and crying because it was all too much.

This isnt his family who would avoid him on a regular day, and who he'd shut himself in a room for to avoid getting snippy with them when he was struggling.

This is the crew, this is Ed, these are the first people who have ever accepted him, and he wants to be worthy of that. He doesn't want to snap, he doesn't want to criticize them for living their lives, for eating and laughing, its just that every time a fork clinks on a plate Stede feels like someone is sticking a pin in his head.

He snaps when Ed unexpectedly leans in and whispers some sweet nothing in his ear, a private sort of moment that Stede usually adores, but the mix of the hot breath against his cheek and the noise so close to his ear just pushes him over the limit, and his shoulders draw up as he flinches away from Ed, snipping.

"Can you not right now?" Quick and sharp, a surprise to him as much as it is to everyone else.

It takes a second for the sound of blood rushing in his ears to calm down, and for Stede to register the shocked expressions around the table. Worst of all he sees Ed pull back from him, his eyes wide, his lips forming into a heartbreaking frown, brows drawn together with confusion or fear.

The guilt hits Stede belatedly, still muddied by the anger that he knows is unreasonable, and he mumbles out an apology, the anger and guilt causing tears to form in his eyes. He knows he can't stay there, suddenly terrified of the way some stupid noises have made him snap at the person he loves the most.

He scrambles out of his chair, suddenly desperate to get away.

"I-Im so sorry. You did nothing wrong. I just...need to be alone."

And then he scrambles off to the cabin, diving into the auxiliary wardrobe where he pulls down the thickest coats he has and stuffs them over his ears, finally letting the tears break as he soothes himself by rocking back and forth.

Because it isn't always pretty. It isnt always gentle.

Sometimes anger comes out against the people we love the most, sometimes the one we love isn't going to be able to fix it.

Sometimes Stede needs to be alone to calm himself, and to apologize properly to Ed later when they're cuddled together in bed.

Only then will they discuss how to help Stede in the future, to be sure that he voices his limits before he reaches a snapping point, to figure out how Ed can best support him in the moments when he's struggling, and to decide how that looks different from what he normally likes or needs.

(F!Reader x Kaeya) | Fluff, rusty writing, grammar and word mistakes, short asf

Eyyo Im back with a rusty piece of work featuring, drum roll please! Kaeya! Who would've guess huh? This one is sooo short ngl. I think this is the first time I wrote fluff with no angst whatsoever sooooo rookie fic tbh

"Hey, fancy joining me at the tavern for a bit?"

" How could I decline if you ask me with that charming face?"

Kaeya chuckles after hearing your words. It's not like he never receive such compliments before, so it's a wonder why it felt so different when it came from a beauty such as yourself.

That was the first interaction you had with the Cavalry Captain. You both soon became "friends" . It was obvious that you have some sort of romantic attraction to the captain, though it seems like the captain doesn't realize it. Or does he?

"Say, [name]. Why is it that I always see you wandering around without your partner?" Kaeya asked when he helped you carry some boxes to your home.

You laughed at his question and answered, "Isn't it obvious? I don't have a partner, silly. I don't even have exes or admirers " Though, it seems like Kaeya doesn't believe that.

"What? That's impossible! How can a fair maiden such as yourself doesn't have a partner?" Your face redden by his " hidden" compliment.

"If it's that unbelievable, how about you become my first one?" You draw your step faster, leaving Kaeya behind with a stunned look.

One night in a drunken state you blurted out how lonely you are, how you wish there's someone who is willing to be your partner , hugs you to sleep and all romantic fantasies you had to Kaeya while he carried you on his back to your home.

"I alsho want someone to be lovey dovey wih you knourr! I want SOMEONE to kish mey forrhead wen I wake up" Your word may be slurred but kaeya gets everything.

"Hey Kae! Hmmmm won't yuo date meee???" You move kaeya's head to the side to look at him properly. His blue locks hits your face but you don't care, you were mesmerized by his beauty and handsomeness. "You are shoooooooo prettey you knourrr?!?!?"

Out of no where tear spills out of your eyes, sobbing on his shoulder uncontrollably. "Hey? Why are you crying [name]? Are you okay?" Kaeya puts you on the ground, letting you stand by yourself. He bend down to take a look at your shaking figure.

You look at him teary eyed, crying as you say " I luvw you you knouw?! You're just soo nice and I just can't {inaudable} - " Kaeya pulls you into a hug as you cry in his arms. Even though you were crying, kaeya was blushing with a smile as bright as the sun.

You woke up with an awful hangover the next day. Not only that, you remembered everything you said to him the night before. Embarrassed and mortified, you avoided the poor Cavalry Captain for almost a week.

"[name]!"

Kaeya calls out your name while knocking your door. You decided to no longer avoid him and answered the door. As soon as you open the door, the tall figure wrap his arms around your anatomy. "Why are you avoiding me?"

"Im sorry, I was just... ashamed" Your apology drew a smile on kaeya's face.

"Ashamed? Why would you be ashamed? Is it because of your confession?"

You nodded, indicating that what he said is indeed the truth. Kaeya laughs and place a kiss on your forehead.

"I love you too, [name]."

A kiss on your right cheek

"I love how beautiful you are"

A kiss on your left cheek

"I love how kind you are"

A kiss under your right eye

"I love how adorable you can be"

A kiss on the left

"I love you, so so much."

And you both share a kiss of two mouth. That day, you finally have someone to kiss you goodmorning, cook breakfast with and hug you to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The sound of bird chirping and singing gleefully brighten up the morning atmosphere. You open your eyes and behold the most charming ice boy sleeping next to you. Observing his face features, from his locks of blue hair, to his lips. You cup his face and rub his slightly rough lips with your thumb. Wondering if this is all a dream.

"Good morning princess." Kaeya leans into your hand and give you a kiss on your forehead.

"Good morning handsome, did you have a good night sleep?"

Your boyfriend nodded and pulls you closer to his shirtless figure. Keeping you as close as possible to him. "There is no night where I can't sleep if I have you in my arms''

You chuckles after hearing his claim. " I would love to cuddle more but you need to go to work, dear." A low groan came from kaeya, a tad bit upset by the thought of leaving you just to go to work.

"Can't we stay like this for a little more? Just 5 minutes I promise. Pleaseeee!". He begs you to cuddle him more. Though, you won't be deceived by his empty promises.

You know that if you stay there being hugged by him, kaeya won't move a budge. So you untangle yourself from his arms and walks to the bathroom to take a morning shower. "Won't you come and join me, boyfriend?"

"Oh I would love to".
