(can you tell im listening to frank sinatra lately AHJSKJASK)

[diientedegato]

I'm curious if you have any thoughts on what Ben Paul would look like if he was alive years after S1 of TWDG :> I honestly prefer to imagine both him & Kenny going off on their own adventures after S1, because Idk if I'd've had Kenny as part of S2, it felt like when he returned it became less Clem's story & more his. That might be controversial among fans but it's how I feel :s I like to imagine Ben, Kenny & Sarita forming their own little family in fact <3 I'd expect Ben would end up with shaggier hair after a while but I wouldn't mind knowing what he'd look like with short, spiked up hair ;>

IM SORRY BOTH THE ASK AND DRAWING ARE OLD- but I came across the sketch I had eugeugeh. I do not have many headcanons but behind the cut is just a rant about. Kenny mostly. Too much should I warn? But yah I'm sorry it took me like 5 months lol

The only headcanon (regarding Ben's appearance) is that he'd keep his school jacket for as long as possible. Until it thorns apart. Or until he dies.

I'm big fan of Ben lives possibility btw I've gotta draw sum about that sometime (I say, about every twdg character i like,)

And dude, do I agree about Kenny. Man doesn't belong in season 2. The character they made him to be in the second season is not Kenny, it's just a nostalgia element. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, I'm biased as hell, I break that hug choice every time. But it made the character development in the first season just.... pointless. "For some reason, I saved that piece of shit Ben", man, that quote just disappoints me. Kenny lost everything. Father and husband of none no more, which was pretty much the arc of Kenny on the first season?? I think? . Everything he loved and he had he lost, and he killed the person responsible for it. But not as revenge, he killed a kid out of mercy. He saved the boy from suffering a painful death, and that was forgiveness, to the reason he hadn't any. He took a decision he would be fully responsible of, when it was time for him to go. And he was perfect.

Hell, if he had appeared during season 2, I do prefer the Kenny as Carver idea. Clementine wasn't even that close to Kenny in the past, the player was, so even then it feels... off, off to be forced to care about a man that says so much he wants to protect you. (They're not really family, but is as if Kenny tries to protect and have Clem on his side, to have Clem's loyalty through and through. Though he does let her go and is proud of her on her individuality... hm.) But still, I mean, second season Kenny is not first season Kenny, and it isn't even a change that made sense. If he had been antagonist (which pretty much feels like it in the Canon story already), he should have had some other background story, no Sarita or company. Maybe then the cynical view he has would have mattered. The violence and anger and whatever else. For him to change that way was a consequence of him losing what he represented, protection of family? Wasn't failure and grief and acceptance meant to be important after all?

But otherwise yea I think it would've been pretty cool if Ben survived :3 I am a sucker for tales of redemption, forgiveness, and found family. And I hadn't thought about Kenny, Ben, and Sarita, but hell yeah. Man, even if they appeared in the second season, it would've been interesting if the choice wasn't between two individuals, but between two families. Ben already had a relationship with Clem! He appreciated her and calls her his only friend during season 1, he did leave her behind during that scene, -but the point of Ben was that- He was a coward all the season, until when he wasn't. He wanted to help Lee help Clem. They would've had an interesting sibling relationship-? also Ben had a young sister before the apocalypse so ooooh projection and parallels and shi. And if Ben had lived, he would've completed his development to something close to bravery-?

Well, I don't know, at least I think that'd be one interesting way to bring back old characters. Otherwise, Kenny should only be mentioned on dialogue maximum. The way I see it.

(I repeat the same thing over and over when I talk about something I'm sorry

(I've developed no language skills whatsoever in my life

[midnight---hollow]

Sketch pile mainly of vee and azul. I got sloppy during the coloring cus i wanted to work on other projects but im still proud of how this turned out. This is prob the first time i actually drew them interacting cus normally i just do sketches of them separate. They are childhood friends turn crushes turn “business partners we are very platonic business partners” cus vee has yet to clock their own feelings and azul has noticed his but is to embarrassed to properly confess. They basically avoid the topic throughout ncr (horribly so they are both very obvious) though i think they finnally confess to each other before leaving for their internships on fourth year

Im gonna go more into them in the read more so click if you want that ^^ but it is oc/sona x cannon and i yap ALOT so beware that-

Vee fell first azul fell harder, albeit vee didnt realize they loved azul like that for a long time but they did fall first

Vee fell for azul when he unlocked his um. Vee isnt powerhungry or ambitious like azul, they didnt get what about it made him so happy, but the fact he was smiling so bright and laughing so genuinely and rambling on. Vees has known azul from before elementary school. They knew who he was before the bullying and before he became so ridged. while their care for him never changed, they realized they liked him best when he was happy and maybe more than vees liked anyone else

Azul realize his crush on vee during land camp. Vee wasnt able to go because they didnt get an invitation to nrc. Azul was lock in and focused on acclimating to the human world, he was doing better than floyd and debatably jade and he should be proud of himself but his mind kept wandering. It was the first time hed been so far from vee and he just felt different. When land camp was over and they all head back to the sea to do their final packings for school it clicked how much he liked vee and oh he didnt take it well. Floyd was poking him with a pieces of coral because fainted with his eyes open. He was cooked especially because now that he knows this he realized how obvious hes been.

Eventually he comes to his senses and creates a “game plan.” He originally was going to confess, he thought long and hard about it and thought if he made everything perfect and woed vee like the princes in those stories. He plans everything to the T; finds the best restaurant on land, sets up a perfect boat ride, finds all the spots on the nearby island to visit, he thinks vee has never been on land before (they have multiple times already for work) so he wants to amazing them with everything he learned.

It goses horribly, vee is really excited to go and exploring the town goes as expected but dinner takes a turn. Azul says that the restaurants special is a seafood salad and vee orders it out of curiosity, issue being they are a carnivore. Azul just has to watch as they take their first bite and their expressions slowly shift into one of disgust as they dont want to finish what they had just ordered but that one bite alone was so horrible. Azul offers they trade meals as he ordered a salmon which vee happy ate and shared with him but azul was inwardly panicking

Then came the boat ride. I drew this awhile ago and its basically what happened (the little mermaid boat scene, i think its a requirement any octavinelle ship ever has to have that scene happen). It was going well but azul was supposed to confess during the song and he kept fumbling, he couldnt say it he was to worried about the chance of vee saying no and risking embarrassment but this time infront of one of the closest people to him. Jade and floyd are in the water and they where having fun at first singing the song and forcing some fish to play instruments but after they start to clock the fact azul cant confess jade gets a little… annoyed. He pushes the boat and floyd realizing the potential fun shakes the other side, eventually the boat flips over and they swim away laughing leaving vee and azul to swim to shore despite being in their human forms and being at a disadvantage

Azul is starting to cry, you couldnt tell because they are both soaked and the date was ruined and he mad an embarrassment of himself infront of only to get caught off guards by the sound of soft laughter. Turning to his side vee is laugh, just as soaked but smile bright. They exclaim how much they missed spending time with him and how lonely its been since he and the twins left. Quietly he hears them say “i wish this didnt have to end… wish you didnt have to leave” and without thinking he offers a deal. “I get you into night raven. I find a way to get you in and in return… you work for me. Stay by my side like the twins do, im going to take the human world by storm and your help is more than valuable.” After some talking, the paper is signed and a mark appears on their arms connecting them. Azul may have snuck something in the fine print (i wanna to more into this with a comic in the future

Vee doesnt know how he managed to do it but a week before school starts they get their letter and immediately they go to celebrate with azul and the twins

I was gonna talk about the first job vee did for azul and how it went bad but i think i want to save it for something jade related cus vee and jade have BEEF. their dynamic is my fav out of vee with octotrio, obvi im biased towards azul and floyd cus they are my favs but jade is so interesting to me and i want to understand him so badly. So instead of talking about that imma do small hc’s

Vee loves sweets especially gummy worms and fish

First year azul vee jade and floyd all bunked in the same room with the two twin beds in the room moved together. Its a mer bonding technique and for vee its extra important because white tips like sleeping in pods.

Second year azul and jade get special rooms as they are house warden and vice, jade lets floyd crash in his room and azul lets vee crash in his

Azul has an evil laugh but he also has a soft more genuine laugh that makes him hiccup

Azul is the strongest strength wise of the group followed by vee, he just has bad dexterity and is the least used to fighting so he leaves it to floyd and jade claim its a bad look for him

Vee is a REALLY fast runner but cant join the track team because when they are running they instinctively want to chase anyone they see running away from them. This is much to vargas’s dismay who tries to get them to join each gym class

Vee works in the kitchen primarily, making drinks and pastries. They also do guard work with azul, just as extra muscle incase anyone gets any ideas but they mainly prefer to just bake

Vee joined the popmusic club because azul said “well youve never been to school before, maybe your goal should be to make friends and acclimate” and they thought the popmusic show they hosted was extremely friendly and cool (also they didnt have that many hobbies when they started nrc but they knew how to play trumpet)

Vee believes lillia is an expert human and after a week of popmusic club they start to take lessons from him so they can become an expert human aswell. Pointy ears and flying is normal human behavior right?

Azul didnt know vee actually had work friends. He doesnt know alot about vees life but he remembers being extremely caught off guards when during parents day comes around and he sees vee run up to a group of shark mers. He was ok with it at first but then he learned more from vee and he lowkey got jealous as vee talked about their friend “lemon” and how talented and cool he is (vee veiws him as an older brother but azul didn’t know that)

Azul needs glasses because during land camp be made a contract with the twins. eels can barely see and while it was fine in the sea, on land they where suffering a bit. he gifts them some of his eyesight in return for their loyalty

Because of his contracts being destroyed in book 3. The next day after the ob was hell. Azul was sickly and vomiting ink, vee was tweaking because the bond mark was gone, and the twins were locked up in their room because they lost their vision

Mk thats it for now i am yapping way to much. I just really like them and my best friend said twst is becoming a special interest which i called cap at first but then i realized i had three of the books, am reading the octavinelle manga, have multiple twst fanfic tabs open and frequently check multiple or the tabs, and draw fan art which i dont draw this much fanart for hyperfixations. Idk it dont matter that much i see silly i wanna draw sillies. I need to do a meme animatic for april fools now tho so hope this was bad and im not more cringe than i thought i was

Random tidbit but my drawing tablet shows colors alot differently than how they appear on phone and computer. Like its extremely noticeable cus vees hair was bright neon pink on the screen. I had to adjust constantly esp for the skin tones to make sure nothing looked to off. Gotta figure out how to fix tha

✨Family Bonding✨

Finally colored in the sketch i did some days ago for Father’s Day. Like i said then, this was inspired by the trans pride stop motion short. The idea of Godzilla taking the time to both learn & support their child from love was really sweet (loved it a lot ^^) & most importantly, i loved the idea as a whole too. Along with that i decided to add a lil bit more of context and i based it off the question: “what about the bow”

[Feel free to read the following if youd like]

When Godzilla first found out about their child, he felt compelled to do everything for her. To him, seeing her happy & smile was much more important. If she was happy being herself, he was happy too. Following this, he would often have conversations with his daughter. Spending more time together & asking her how she was feeling. Thankfully, she always responded to be happy, going as far to confess she felt that way thanks to her own father. For listening & loving her always. Godzilla was relieved, knowing he did well in being a father & taking on the task of caring for another living being. He continued to be there for her ultimately coming to the opportunity for her to express her true self. At first, she couldn’t decide on what, then later debating on what could fit best for a kaiju like her (originally she wanted a dress but wasn’t sure if there were any in a size fit for kaiju). Godzilla later agreed to help, seeing it as a perfect bonding opportunity, and came to agree on something smaller. It was his own idea to gift her a small bow for her to wear. Instantly, she fell in love with it (most importantly giving her father the biggest hug & telling that she loved him & was the best dad in the world) and wore it everywhere she went. For her, the bow meant much more. For it reminded her that her father loves her, very much to accept her when she told the truth about herself. For Godzilla, he was very proud to have a very lovely daughter & was more than excited to see her grow into one day becoming the Great Queen of Monsters

[I had fun coming up with this idea too. I just really like wholesome stuff like this( i hope you do too). And also the idea of trans junior, sure!!! Im all for it. I just love seeing happy family bonding overall✨🥺]

Whipped Into Shape- Chapter 4

A Gathering Storm and A Troubled Sky

Summary: Sky is (unfortunately) extremely observant, You go to work, and you both try to ignore the gut feeling that something is about to happen.

Sky and Reader Centric Chapter!

Masterlist

Chapter Contains- slight mention of past skyxreader, anxiety, pining (as per usual), meljayvik, Sky being fed with up all four of you lol, mentions of rumors and bullying.

A/N- Im pretty proud of this chapter, mainly because writing sky and giving her a more concrete personality is really fun!

◈—-*——☆——-*——◈ 

Now Playing: Fare Well –Hozier

◈—-*——☆——-*——◈ 

Sky was a loving person.

She loved her family, her plants, and karaoke on the weekends–

Sky loved her friends, she loved her job, and she loved being at school.

Sky was full of love. And she was very patient when it came to the things and people she loved.

What Sky did not love, was how oblivious and stubborn her friends could be. And since she worked and went to school with said friends, her irritation and affection often fought for dominance.

Sky was a lot more observant than people gave her credit for– for example , she noticed that despite Jayce claiming he and Viktor were “just roommates”, she very much picked up on the fact that there was definitely more to it than that– as she very clearly saw them making out in a shadowy corner backstage after his speech at the fundraiser gala during the summer. It wasn’t lost on her how his pupils would dilate and his ears would run pink anytime Viktor was mentioned in idle conversation.

“We’re just really close, that's all! Is that so strange?” was the defensive reasoning when she had asked if they were dating, despite knowing full well how they were damn near attached at the hip anytime they occupied a room together.

Or how she noticed that though Viktor claims that his feelings toward you are completely platonic, his face always softened when your name was mentioned, and he seemed strangely pleased when you announced you had sworn off romantic entanglements a while ago. And it wasn’t lost on her how he practically short circuited during Stats when you called him Sir and Mister. 

“Do not get lost in conspiracy, Sky. I just want her to be happy – that's all! ” was the dismissal when she asked him if he was interested in you, despite knowing full well he’s had a crush on you since freshman year at the very least. 

She had noticed how you say the same about Viktor and Mel, despite bearing witness to you idly sketching their faces with loving detail in your sketchbooks when you would chat over lunch and coffee, not a single freckle or mole out of place.

It was not lost on her how you’d sigh airily as you nitpicked the details— particularly their eyes, and their lips.

“It's normal to admire your friends, Sky! I’d be blind and stupid to claim I didn't find them attractive, but it’s not like that!” was your exasperated reasoning, when she had playfully asked if you liked either of them, knowing full well that you did, and that it troubled you deeply. 

She also noticed how Mel– despite claiming she wasn't the jealous type– never informed either men that she was one of your closest friends– Sky being the only exception to this omission of information, because she was your friend first. It also was not lost on her just how much more physically affectionate she was with you compared to her other friends and acquaintances. 

“Truly—Is it so bad to keep your relationships separate? We are very comfortable with each other, and I simply like spending time with her separately, that's all ” was the cool response she received when she asked Mel why she was so secretive about you, knowing full well that it was because she didn't want to share you yet. 

Mel and Viktor only realized you all knew each other after a very tense run in at your family’s cafe last fall, the three of them all having incidentally come to visit you at the same time during your shift.

She could’ve cut their tension with a knife, their gazes clearly sending a silent, yet heated declaration of:

“She’s off limits”

For this reason, she was infinitely grateful she had never let it slip that the two of you fooled around a bit in highschool while you were still figuring yourselves out.

She could only imagine the catastrophic upset.

Sky felt a cold shiver run through her at the hypothetical.

But aside from just being observant, Sky also wasn't blind . She’d definitely seen all three of them sporting matching hickies or wearing borrowed clothes more than once, during suspiciously simultaneous timeframes.

Sometimes more than once in one week.

And on the periphery, you were none the wiser.

Sure, she teased– but the thought of you actually getting involved with that situation made her worry for both your sanity and her own.

It was a tangled, raunchy, obnoxious mess, summarized as: 

- Mel liked playing around with the boys, and keeping you to herself when she could

- Viktor loved Jayce, yearned for you , and loved bantering with Mel

- You liked Mel and Viktor, but were too afraid of ruining your friendships.

- Jayce loved Viktor and Mel, and had a heart big enough to love more, if given the chance.

And Mel, Jayce, and Viktor were all in some kind of weird…open… thing.

A Situationship? Could a situationship even happen between more than two people? She wasn’t sure. 

It was more like some kind of fucked up love-trapezoid, she thought.

Whatever it was, it was definitely best that she didn’t pry too much. That was a can of worms she had no desire to crack open. After all, everything she knew about the intimate lives of her friends was learned against her will via accidental discovery or tipsy oversharing; a victim of her own alert nature.

Sky loved all of you enough to realize it was a recipe for disaster, and she could see it coming a mile away.

She only hoped it wouldn't get any messier than it already appeared to be.

She heaved a sigh as she opened up her laptop. The online portion of her day often came as a good time for reflection, the safe haven of the lab preferable to the library or the commons. Familiar, heavy footsteps down the hall indicated that Jayce was on his way into the lab.

At least there was one saving grace in this situation. Somehow you and Jayce never crossed paths, and Sky was somewhat grateful for it; if not merely because she knew how quickly he’d fold if he did.

Ever since you were kids, you always had a sort of… magnetism that you never seemed aware of. It was how you and Sky became friends in the first place all those years ago. You unwittingly pulled people into your orbit, and brightened their days as a result. 

The only issue was that you were extremely unaware of it. it was honestly a bit shocking for someone so smart to be so clueless.

Be it merely out of a low regard for yourself, or just a factor of your naturally aloof demeanor. She’d borne witness to many an unintentionally broken heart amongst your peers growing up.

There was another– crueler nickname you'd been anointed with; one that she’d made sure you'd never heard about:

The Maneater

And the lore was scathing . 

Your magnetic aura, combined with your cold treatment to potential partners led to a devastating recipe for disaster for any poor fucker that developed any interest in you. Serious or not.

You would eat them alive with your fierce words, tear apart egos, freeze them out, and never give anyone a chance. Consciously, and subconsciously.

Not since the incident in your first year here.

Hell, even she had found herself smitten with you at one point, as a younger kid. But she realized she liked you much more as a friend, after a few youthful escapades and subsequent realizations as young teens.

And she knew a friend was truly what you needed back then, not another wayward admirer.

Sky wanted you to be happy , and she knew you wanted to avoid drama. So all she could do was pray nothing else would complicate things for you.

Not when you had told her about your strategy for the year with such an endearing, determined look on your face.

Jayce walked in, and where Sky expected to hear his usual chipper greeting, there was instead a dazed silence as he approached his workbench. She looked up over the rim of her glasses, pausing her sorting for a moment to peer at him—

“Hey Jayce! Are you feeling alright?”

He looked up with a bit of surprise, as if not having expected her to be there already. “Oh! Hey Sky! Sorry, just lost in thought.” He smiled, setting down his bag to pull out his laptop. There was something off about this. She could feel it in her gut.

And then she remembered something.

Something very important.

“Oh!…Is..is it about that theatre class you mentioned? How did it go?” She remained as composed as possible, waiting to gauge his reaction. He stopped for a moment, before a goofy smile crept onto his face.

Oh no.  

“Yeah actually, how’d you guess?”

“Just a lucky shot, so what’s got you so giddy?” She prodded further, although she could predict the answer. He hesitated as he searched for an explanation—which definitely did not bode well.

“Oh…well…ugh, how do I even explain- okay, it’s gonna sound stupid.” He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose with a dry laugh.

“…a crush on the first day back , Jayce?” Sky asked flatly, already exasperated by his dodging of the subject. Perhaps she was wrong. She hoped she was wrong. She wanted to be wrong.

“…yes. Well, no- I mean...kinda? Not really sure yet…” He sighed, placing his face in his hands. “I was paired with this girl for a project and she’s…” he paused as he attempted to find an adjective, and promptly failed, merely sighing softly--dreamily, with that dumb little lopsided smile.

Oh no.

“Uh, well…anyways, I wanted to make a good impression and… I may have laid it on a bit too thick.” He drug a hand down his face as he recalled the interaction, leaning back in his chair.

Sky was almost certain now, but she wanted to hold out hope that she still could be wrong.

“Oh? Why do you think that?” She asked, adjusting her glasses. “Was....was it one of your corny math jokes?” She tried to lighten his anxiety with the little jab, but he merely huffed and rolled his eyes. “ No . I’ve already learned my lesson from that, okay?”

Jayce’s charisma always flew out the window when something– or someone– intrigued him.

Unfortunately, his jokes about imaginary numbers weren't enough to salvage what would remain of his charm.

 “She’s just…well she’s from… downtown .” He didn’t say the proper name, but she knew immediately what he meant. Though she did appreciate that he didn’t automatically assume you would know each other just for being from the undercity, however…

There were only 3 Zaunite students in their grade. 

Viktor, Herself, and…. 

Oh no.

“And that’s not an issue or anything! You know it’s not—�� he looked to Sky for confirmation, and she nodded mutely as he continued. “—So I didn’t mention it or anything when it came up. But…right away she seemed a bit wary of me, and at first y'know, I thought maybe it’s the whole ‘Scholar of Progress’ thing; except, it seemed like she didn’t care about that at all!” He sounded intrigued, fascinated. 

Smitten. 

That was not a good sign.

“We talked a little bit, and I thought it was going pretty well…but then when everyone else was exchanging contact info she…” he sighed, embarrassed and still somewhat in disbelief “… she only gave me her email address ..” 

It was you. It was most definitely you. 

She stifled a sigh and mustered a sympathetic smile. “oh…oof…That’s rough, man…I’m sure you’ll clear it up, you’re good with people!” Luckily, he didn't seem to notice what she felt like was blatant anxiety seeping through her encouraging platitudes.

As he smiled sheepishly and nodded, and as their small talk continued, she thought about you. A mess was brewing, and Sky wasn’t certain if it was for better or for worse yet. Perhaps if you had met sooner, you and Jayce could've been decent friends to each other. Before the cruelty of your peers made you harden up, and before you gave up on forming new connections topside.

She knew you, and she knew how cynical you had become since then. You’d become wary of attention, like an apprehensive stray cat. Any interest shown that wasn’t solely creative or academic in nature set you on edge.

She knew Jayce probably spooked the shit out of you, considering… well… the way he was.

Should she say something? It wasn’t really her place, and god knows how you’d feel about any of what’s been going on in the personal lives of your friends. You'd been quite vocal and firm before about not wanting to know any intimate details about your close friends.

But in the case of Mel and Viktor, she wasn't sure if it was out of respect, fear, or deeply hidden and unacknowledged jealousy.

She would wait.  

She would wait, and watch, and be there if you needed her, just as she’d be there for the other three.

Weather the storm, Sky. 

Just brace yourself, and weather the storm. 

——---------

The day went by surprisingly quickly, already finding yourself on your way back home for a brief reprieve before work. The latter half of your day was mostly uneventful; introductions made, syllabuses collected, and lofty expectations put in place. 

And then— freedom! 

In the afternoon sun, the air had become humid from the rain earlier, and despite the clammy feeling of the air, you felt instantly relieved that you had made it through the day. You still ached like hell, but you could at least attempt to put in a few hours at work before you gave up for the day completely.

You thought about Viktor. You knew sudden changes in the weather bothered his leg on occasion, and you hoped it wasn’t bugging him too severely. You could feel the subtle twang in your own joints, but you chalked it up to the preexisting fatigue.

You could tough it out. You always did.

The bus ride was blissfully uneventful compared to that morning’s fiasco. It had been a weird day altogether, with such a hectic start and ordinary finish. But at least there was nothing too catastrophic…

Your mind drifted to Jayce and his million dollar smile.

Oh. Well there was that .

There was…. him. 

You’d have to ask Mel when she came back if she knew what his deal was. You felt like she always knew everything about everyone, so perhaps she could back you up on just how… weird he was.

You could ask Viktor, but he also didn’t seem the type to keep up with stuff like that. And his advice when it came to guys was usually pretty cut and dry, things like—

“If you don’t like them, then don’t bother with them.”  

It came clean and easy in that snarky, accented drawl of his.

You smiled to yourself. He was always blunt and to the point. And while you appreciated it, you needed input from someone more well versed in… nuance .

Before you knew it, you were idly pacing your small apartment; thinking.

Jayce Talis seemed nice. But you had more than enough experience with the guys at this school to know that nice did not guarantee good or kind in the slightest.

His apparent perfection, and the amount of attention he attracted was something you had no choice but to adjust to. No matter how much it was beginning to irk you as you thought about it.

It was going to be an interesting first week. No doubt about that.

It’s only the first day, I won’t pester them with my paranoid anxiety. 

It’ll all sort itself out 

That’s what you told yourself, despite the uneasy feeling in your gut telling you otherwise.

After dedicating what little free time you had left to changing into your work clothes, setting out tomorrow’s outfit, and scrounging around for a pain pill in your medicine cabinet, you set off for work.

The path was well memorized; familiar and comforting. Your short commute of 10 minutes was almost meditative; as you knew it well enough to lose yourself in thought

It was consistent, and few things in your life were.

And in what felt like no time at all, thanks to your ruminating and daydreaming along the way, you found yourself at your family’s cafe. The wind chime hanging by the door tinkles and sings as you enter, immediately accompanied by the smell of coffee and pastries.

Home sweet home. 

It was shaping up to be a slow evening, being a Monday night and all. A few regulars nodded to acknowledge you as you headed in, but it was mostly empty.

You savored it for now, knowing that once fall was in full swing it would get a lot busier.

Your cafe was unique, being open as late as some bars in the area. It made for a popular study spot for the community college students and for the kids that went to school across the bridge since it was in such a convenient spot. On weekends, you served alcohol after 6pm, and hosted open mics, karaoke, small performances from local bands– pretty much anything that kept folks lively, hungry, and thirsty. Much to your relief, most of your classmates wouldn't be caught dead this close to downtown despite it being popular with students from other, smaller schools. 

You were safe here. You could be at ease here.

You could be yourself here. 

“You're earlier than I expected! How was today?” 

Your mother’s voice took you out of your thoughts, causing you to look up with a tired smile. She was restocking the pastry case, and like always, one was set aside on the counter for you, still warm.

You shrugged as you made your way behind the counter, sticking your bag in your usual cubby beneath the register. “...About what I expected. Nothing too crazy.” you replied as you settled into a familiar routine, snatching up the pastry and savoring its warmth as you bit in.

Eat a snack 

Put on your apron 

Wash your hands 

Check the beans in the espresso machine 

Make yourself a drink with the test shots 

Change the playlist when Mom wasn’t paying attention 

Ignore the weight of the day grinding your knees  

Eventually find the stool that you insist you are fine without. 

Perch near the register, 

and dream. 

“And how’s Sky? I haven seen her in a bit!” 

“Busy, but well! You know how she is– always working on something new and exciting.”

Your mother hummed as she watched you, your movements entirely muscle memory as you maintained conversation. It was so easy to go into autopilot like this, the familiar movements like a domestic choreographed dance. You omitted some details, and you knew that she could tell. But she merely smiled the way she does when she’s resisting the urge to tease you, and opted to hand you an empty cup so that you could make her a drink as well. 

“And what about Helena’s boy– Viktor , how’s he doing?”

There was only a small pause in your fluid and practiced movements, as you shot her a side eye. “He’s… good . It’s his first semester as a TA, so he’ll probably be too busy to stop by for a bit.”

You sounded disappointed. You knew it, and you knew that she knew. But she merely pinched your cheek affectionately as she moved to continue setting out pastries.

Viktor’s mom was an old acquaintance– an old regular from the old cafe back downtown.

This association, and your friendship with Viktor, gave your mother ample ammunition to pry and speculate.

oh, joy.

You know she meant well–But you could only insist you were only friends so many times a day before you gave up under her knowing gaze.

“Ah…Well, don’t worry hun, we both know his sweet tooth won’t allow him to stay away for too long.”

You huffed a laugh, as you rolled your eyes as you poured the foam of her latte into a pretty leaf pattern. Your own came out more like a heart, and you frowned at it; ‘tsking as you disrupted the pattern by taking a vindictive sip. She took your silence–and her drink–in stride, with a warm but smug smile. “And nothing else of note? Interesting classes? Interesting people?” she prodded for a final time.

You thought about Viktor in his slick new clothes. 

You thought about how much you anticipated Mel’s return. 

You thought about Jayce, and his warm eyes and disarming smile. 

“...no. Not really anything worth mentioning.” you lied, turning your attention to putting a lid on your coffee.

“hm…That's too bad. Oh well! Don't push yourself, you have school in the morning after all!”

Your mother smiled knowingly, and disappeared into the kitchen.

You sighed as you changed the music, letting yourself settle back into your routine.

Change the playlist 

Ignore the ache 

Ignore the day 

Ignore school 

Ignore the world 

Get your stool 

Perch at the register 

Relax 

Listen to the music 

Relax 

Drink your coffee 

Relax 

Smile for real 

Dream.

Thursday-T.N (Part 5 of No One Noticed)

Theo Nott x F!Reader Your happy streak ends, what will Theo do to help? Warnings: Mentions of self-harm (Nothing graphic) Words: 683 A/N: Thank you for all the love on my Squid Game oneshot!!! This one is so rushed im sorry but I Hope you enjoy this new chapter ghosties :))) Series Masterlist

‘What do you think you got on the test?’ Theo asks, nudging you with his shoulder. 

‘Transfiguration isn’t my strongest so I doubt I did well’ you respond. 

The class was bustling with noise, awaiting their results. Professor McGonagall walks between the desks, placing papers before students. You hear groans and squeals and anxiety starts filling you. She finally reaches you and Theo, placing his paper down and sending him a proud nod. She gives you yours and an 83 is written at the top of the test, the highest you’ve ever gotten. ‘Well done Y/N, quite an improvement.’  

You sneak a glance at Theo who seems to be in awe of you,’ You’re so smart Y/N, I’m proud of you.’ His tone has a sense of softness you’ve never experienced. You can’t help but dwell on the past few days with him, Theo really cared and you were glad he did.  

Class finally ends and you pack your books quickly, ready to return to your dorm. You bid a goodbye to Theo and dash away. 

Theo arrives at his dorm, chatting with his friends. He reaches into his bag and pulls out a book- one that isn’t his. He sits on the edge of his bed, examining the smooth brown cover before opening it. Instantly, he recognises your handwriting and the sketches that adorn the pages. There’s some of the astronomy tower, various flowers found in the greenhouses and even sketches of him. He traces his finger along the pencil lines, admiring the talent you had. Theo stands abruptly and walks to your dorm, aiming to return the property he indirectly stole. 

Theo goes to knock but hears small sobs and whimpers, making his heart stop. He barges in and is face to face with your shuddering form. Theo drops the sketchbook, resulting in a large thud, and runs to your side, embracing you tightly. 

‘Y/N/N, what happened, it’s okay, I’m here, you’re safe.’ he rambles, internal panic speaking for him. 

‘Teddy...’ 

You let out a loud sob and look into his eyes. Theo’s hands find your cheeks, keeping you in place, ‘Talk to me tesoro.’ he pleads. 

‘Pucey happened,’ you whispered, ‘He torments me every day but today he just-’ The flow of tears breaks your train of thought, hurt by the hateful comments that were spewed at you. ‘He started pushing me around, telling me to do it already. I don’t understand why, I haven't done anything to him!’ you shout.  

Theo nods, anger flushing in his blue eyes- how could that twat tell you to die. ‘He won't hurt you again. I’ll make sure of it.’  

‘Can you stay with me Teddy, please...’ Desperation filled your voice and Theo doesn’t hesitate to bring you to your feet, leading you to your bed. He picks up the abandoned book and joins you. 

Theo puts his arm around you, guiding you to nestle your head into his chest. ‘Did you relapse?’ he asks quietly.  

Theo feels you shuffle on top of him before you respond, ‘No, I, uh, I was going to but something came over me and I pushed it aside.’  

‘I’m very proud of you Y/N.’ 

A few moments of silence follow, allowing you to catch your breath and calm down. ‘I brought this back.’ He holds up the brown book and hands it to you, ‘You should draw more, they’re really good.’ Heat rises to your cheeks at his compliment and you sheepishly take it from his grasp. 

‘Reason four, you’re extremely talented.’  

The next day in class, you expect Pucey to be up to his usual antics but he's nowhere to be seen. Theo plops into the seat next to you, ‘Told you he won’t hurt you again.’ Your eyes drift to his bloodied knuckles and your heart starts beating faster- did he really do that for you? 

A paper ball hits you, snapping you out of your trance and you realise Mattheo looking at you. You notice his bruised fists and cut lip but decide not to ask (already suspecting an answer), ‘Party tomorrow, you coming?’

FORGOTTEN LAND'S SECOND ANNIVERSARY :3

I AM SOOOO BACK

I started this drawing yesterday around afternoon and finished it just a few minutes earlier.

I went with a messier type of drawing instead of more clean like the elfilin one from yesterday, i find it fun doing it like this, mostly cause i dont have to worry about making it perfectly so i dont get as frustrated as normal. Id place this one as my second best digital drawing. im pretty sure i havent posted what i consider my best digital drawing here, tho i do have it in instagram, i might post it here one day, tho these two are way too tied up, i love how this came out, its not exactly like how i imagined it but its really close to it, and also itd say that since i dont tend to play around lighting that much, this was such a joy to draw and i cant help but stare at it a lot, at least until i start hating it because i made quite a lot of errors. i also changed my elfilis gijinka just a tad bit from last time, but its not that big of a difference, mostly.

ofc i had to draw elfilis for forgotten land's anniversary, i tend to deny it in my head but yeah they're my fave of the kirby characters even tho i hate them a bit. I wanted to draw some more doodles, like, elfilis eating cake, kirby car, a bunch of other stuff (not elfilin cuz i already drew him yesterday) but when i tried i couldnt draw anything more, guess this drawing burned me out a lot, huh?

you can definitly tell i spent all the efforts on him cuz if you look a bit closer to the bottom part you'll see its almost barely detailed, but i mean, they're the focus so make sense i guess for me not add that much detail there. um also, maybe because i dunno i had OVER 130 LAYERS jeez no wonder firealpaca was slowing down so much, i need to manage my layers better next time, tho i did do something i keep forgetting, wich is naming them (most of them at least) that was a real life saver

Also, antares (fecto elfilis' spear/cadaceus), as always, was a pain to draw, but this time its probably been draw the most accurate out of every other drawing ive made with it in it, i didnt notice it was like, a little curved when it reached the blade

some close ups since his face is a bit hard to see

silly :3

fun fact! actually, this is technically a redraw, somewhere around between february and march i started a fecto elfilis drawing for the first anniversary, but i couldnt finish it in time, and i never finished it

thats...quite the improvement! (i remember being so proud of it)

also his wings are like that cuz i did not want to draw the pattern, its way too hard, i literally copy pasted it, wait, i was talking about the 2024 version but i looked at the 2023 one and i just noticed it also has the pattern copy pasted, i guess some stuff never changes since i still abuse the ctrl+c ctrl+v to this day

Also i ended up making a huge error there, i was planing to add the phantom spears from orbital pulsar (the attack he does first when you battle them at lab discovera) but theres an innacuracy, when they do the attack, they always close their eyes, i had actually sketched him (well i mean both these drawings are basically the first sketch (2023) or second sketch(2024) with some color, shadows and lighting. i didnt do lineart in the 2024 one cuz i wanted to be a bit like the og i made (too bad i sketched that one with black since the og was sketched with white due to me drawing the bg first)) with his eyes closed but them decided to make them open for a reason i cant remember, maybe i thought itd look nicer? idk

ive had the idea of redrawing this for quite some month now so it was kinda already planned

background cuz i think it came out really pretty

doesnt have the little stars since without elfilis and the structures it looks fucked up. the actual sky in game is more blue, but the clouds have some orange, in the 2023 ver. i made the sky orange, and in the 2024 ver i wanted it more accurate, but i didnt wanna loose the orange sky, so i did a gradient. pretty...

also here's a screenshot i took when i was like halfway trough it, its barely noticeable but i changed his mouth in the final drawing

I really love katfl, like a buncha whole lot, its basically almost my first mainline kirby game. 100% the demo, finished the game in almost one day, i literally play it monthly, like, every month i put the card in my switch, start it up, get morpho sword, and go shred elfilis in lab discovera. i would probably not even be here on tumblr and the kirby fandom if it werent for it. and i love it so much i genuinly cannot express how much i like it and treasure it with words or anything

Thank you for reading my unnecesarily long rambles lol

I hope i'll post tomorrow and dont forget like usual

Jambuhbye!

Rumor, Rumor.

Gangle (Comedy mask): "Red? Oh.. Red.. She's a drunken mess! you like that woman..? you need a bit of adjusting to your tastes, love"

Gangle says, the smirk of her comedy mask growing after hearing that the floating rumor turned out to be true. She continued to paint on her canvas in a dark charcoal, her back turned to the jester sitting on her bed. Pomni had approached Gangle earlier in the day asking to speak with her about something she needed to get off of her chest. Pomni took a deep breath after the jab from the artist and continued.

Pomni: "Ow --- but that's fair enough. she's not the best person, and I dont want to 'fix' her, but.. I just want to try to understand her, I guess, and.."

Pomni rubs her arm while she speaks, her tone slowly drifting off as her thoughts start to get to her, black scribbles appearing in her eyes due to her overthinking. She stares at gangle and sees as the ribbons sketching gets more erratic. Black streaks of coal tearing at the edge of the page until the artists hand came to an ubrupt stop.

Gangle (CM): "..understand? we can't even remember where we came from. What's there to understand? There is no understanding without memory, without knowing, without anything of that nature. This place lacks the very basic meaning of logic, its chaotic and mind-boggling. nothing makes sense. Nothing is coherent. there is no understanding the incomprehensible."

Clearly, the topic had quickly gotten to the artist as her smirk faded, and her tone wavered at her last note, the hard shift in her voice becoming clearer as she continued. Gangle turns to pomni with her mask now cracked as a more somber look appeared on her face. Pomni looked at the bundle of ribbons, then down at her own hands.

Pomni: "This place may be a complete nightmare but.. theres more to people than remembering the past. that doesnt really matter now, especially since we're stuck here together. Might as well make the best of it and support one another, right..? it's the least we could do for each other!"

Pomni finished her sentence with a smile as her eyes faded back to the red and blue spirals they once were. A silence now filled the room as gangles comedy mask cracked away from her face revealing the tragic painted porceline underneath. Her tears fell from her eyes.

Gangle (tragedy): "she used to be as happy as you.."

Wanted to give a little peak at a small oneshot im writing for gangle and pomni! Dunno if I'll finish it, but i wanted to post this here since i was proud of it!

[wewerebornsextuplets]

@flowerakatsuka I actually LOVE getting excuses to talk about this kind of stuff so ill be happy to elaborate!! under the cut in case this gets too long (which it probably will)

so full disclosure, there was a pretty long gap between when proto-kiru (then called yoshimi) was initially Designed and when i started to flesh her out as an actual oc. i actually wasn't into ososan at the time and it was more a challenge of "how would I design an ososan oc Now now that im not 15 anymore", and i didn't pick her up again until february of this year when my BTAS hyperfixation started to fizzle out. the first drafts for keiko (then named hibari, which i changed since it was a bit too similar to one of my long-time ocs hikari) were drawn the same day i picked up yoshimi again. so she was both a day-one character and Not at the same time!

please ignore the poor lighting on these pictures.

i had a pretty strong Idea for what i wanted from keiko in terms of appearance at the start and a basic concept for her (a bit more bookish + "nerdy" than other ososan girls we've seen thus far), but I had a pretty hard time applying it to the design sensibilities of ososan. her first outfit was basically just uehara-san's outfit, and i struggled with rendering her curlier hair in the ososan style which made it look more goopy and awkward. i also wasn't quite sure what to do with her face yet.

still, i translated what i thought would be my final sketches for her and (then) yoshimi to digital, and from here I started to develop their designs at roughly the same time, sort of balancing them out and trying to make sure they look good together. i was proud of them for maybe 3 days before I decided i hated how they looked.

granted, there were a LOT of reasons for this; for one, I was color picking yanas skin tone for kiru, which didn't work well at ALL because he's way paler than it looks. but more than that I wasn't really referencing features that actual ososan characters had? so they looked more like strange fun house mirror imitations of ososan characters than anything else

see what i mean? they don't look right at all. but if you look closely you can sort of see me figuring out keikos hair!

a lot of the refining process when it came to getting to where we are now was just... referencing actual ososan characters. trying to make them feel more believable and like they could actually exist alongside the current ensemble. it was honestly more about them looking right in the style than anything else, since i like to stay pretty canon compliant in terms of design when it comes to fandom ocs-- I find that the limitations make me more creative!

for keiko specifically my main inspirations were nyaa and osoko, though i referenced dobusu's hair pretty frequently as well since they have roughly the same hair texture. she was honestly a lot harder than kiru to balance out in this sense, since i had to make sure she didn't look Too generic compared to the other pretty girls in the canon cast (i.e totoko, homura, etc). her more eccentric fashion sense is also an attempt to remedy this because plot twist! she's a weirdo!

ippei however I had down from day one. he's always looked the same and always will. my perfect creation <3

Can I just say I've seen a lot of Kinnikuman OCs over the years, been a fan of the franchise since way back when. No word of a lie but your OCs look like something pulled right out of the classic run of Kinnikuman. Id love to know your thought process behind all three of their designs, because they all look so well developed and like care went into them completely.

I'm personally doing some Kinnikuman Fanfiction myself, and I struggle sometimes with the forming of new characters at moments. But these three are incredible, seriously you should be immensely proud. If you ever do bring them to life in some fan fic, whether written or drawn Id love to read it!

All the best and have a follow! 🤙🏻

Helloo!! Thank you so much for following, the beautiful words and also for all the support, It means a lot to me! Alr lets get to it...

Well Regarding my ocs, its a process I dwell on for a week for two.. fot making my first ever Kinnikuman oc; "El Rey".. I wanted to base it off my culture, I am Nicaraguense and Nicaraguan representation is awfully non existent on internet media. So I focuse on tradicional pieces + And take a good look at what the fighters... (at the time I was at the first arc/20th Chojin Olympics).. Which was normally boots and the boxers

By January, I finished the Throne arc and saw the many new designs, It gave me more freedom and thus I worked on a new design which had more Nicaraguan Culture/clothes to it.

Lastly by the end of the time chojin arc.. at this point wrestling gear is whatever (examples being Mariquitaman, Aristera, pirateman, the perfect chojin).. I realize the detail and decided to overexaggerate my design to make it more dynamic, which you can see... In kinnikuman, clothes dont matter, as long as you can fight 🔥

-

So I would say my though process would be.. find a concept.. Modernize it to Kinnikuman standarts .. update it with style .. Exaggerate it till it looks good

With Marionetteman, I admit there is NO THOUGH process since its based on my old sona

This one; which you can see.. its a ball jointed doll, which is what I inspired from to make Marionetteman

Now now it may be stupid but this is his first.. concept... pretty shallow.. non muscular, its embarrasing! However!

He was given a better more stuctured Reference once I figured it out, I wanted him to mainly have 4 arms, ofcourse the whole Marionetteman name doesnt fit his aesthetic that well, its gonna stay as it is

-

Now lets get to something... even more stupid....

Cupioman! My latest and first Brutal chojin I created so I can send him off to be in the Superhero federation mafia to do what El Rey and Marionetteman cant do.. murder

So As you can guess, He is based on a littleee on Ramenman, the shoes, his stance and tranquility he holds despite being a brutal chojin.. His inspiration is...

Well..

A chicken.

The prairie chicken

So You mighy think.. what was even the though process? Im gonna be so real, It just came to my mind, funny how El Rey went through many stages before reaching his official design.. as for Cupioman to be done in his first

I would say his sketch was very direct. I wanted him to have the same vibe Ramenman had in the first arc, combined with the color palette of the chicken, an idea just came to my

-

Conclusion: Most of my ocs are actually well though in my head before I draw, Some might not get it the first time like Marionetteman but its a slow process that you need to understand it takes time, and creativity! First I would say.. pick whatever thing you want to base your chojin, It could be a bird, an object, and try to have fun with it, make different sketches, different ideas how they could look like. I apologize for rambling so much, Honestly Its a question that really wrecks my brain and I want to say more than just "I just though abt it" yknow??

Once again thank you so much and also comments are always on to discuss anything! Have a wonderful day ❤️

tagged by @18minutemajor for a hockey art share tag game! I enjoy talking about myself but am terrible at posting so this is perfect. i WILL talk too much, this is a threat.

rules: post your first ever hockey art, your latest hockey art, and your favourite hockey art, then tag three hockey artists.

FIRST ART

I made the Kraken Orb (Korb) at the end of the 22-23 season, as a commemoration, although a sort of ironic one considering i had only gotten into hockey in time for the playoffs so there are a couple players here i actually never got to see play at all before making this (Joonas, Jaycob, Burky, Fleury)

it was a whole lot of fun though! Prior to this i was in a months-long art slump after leaving a fandom, so it was a total surprise to have hockey of all things be what revitalized my art.

technically, the very first hockey art from this was Matty; you can kinda tell by the way his lines are a bit thicker than the rest since i wasn't in my groove yet. i also knew coming in that i wanted to arrange the faces in a circle, but didn't plan out beyond that, so i just made sure that i was getting a variety of head directions in my references and hoped for the best. My favorites from this are Gru, Soucy, Dunn, Schultz, Borgen, and Eeli. I think they all turned out really well.

LATEST ART

MEAT CUT MEAT CUT

this one is fun for me because it's quite different from my usual style of art, with lineart and non-realistic forms/face. I've had the concept in my head for awhile after hearing/reading so many interesting descriptions of the physical qualities that good hockey players possess.

'Sacrifice the Body' actually came in mid-art when i had an epiphany doing something like driving my car or an activity similarly unrelated. Before that, it was going to be a lil heart drawn on the chest and the going contender for the label was 'Ferda.' which would've been great, but sacrifice the body just worked too dang well with the themes.

FAVORITE ART

i mean, c'mon. it's gotta be this one.

my magnum opus, my white whale. it came out even better than i saw it in my head and i love everything about it. when i came up with the idea, i had TOTALLY forgotten that Climate Pledge has those giant windows, so when i set out to find references and saw it, it instantly made everything even better with LIGHTING!!!!

It was my first time drawing this kind of interior architecture and although there's definitely things i would do differently now, im so so proud of how it looks and turned out. I was also still drawing through my decade-old laptop at that point, so I had to split up the work on this into two files - i sketched everything, then worked ONLY on the bg until it was about 90% done, then made a flattened copy to open as a new file to draw the players on top of.

I also have a bunch of WIP shots of it in my drafts I guess I'll throw in here now!

initial sketch to get down the composition before i remembered the window | lines of the building! i actually found a 3d virtual tour of CPA from before it was built which had the PERFECT angle, so i screencapped that and straight up traced the architecture. Ultimately, the scoreboard and the paint lines ended up getting moved around.

planning out my lighting in greyscale (i really need to do this more often, i struggle with values so much, alas) | in progress bg! at this point, the ice and the boards/glass were the only things completed. I eventually said 'fuck it' to being able to see the areas behind the stands like you could in all my references, and just put the people dots all the way up.

Now the most gut-wrenching part

THE TAGS

this is where me being bad at posting comes into play, because instead i just lurk and thats not great for forming connections HERE GOES

@ruinedcasket - it has been awesome seeing your art progress! would love 2 hear your thoughts about it

@rouzys - your kraken stuff is so pretty, love how you capture likenesses

oh god oh fuck everyone else i know has already been tagged fuck oh sshit

If You Are An Artist On Hockey Twit And See This, It Is A Sign

[kingwolfie08]

sammy lawrence

i wasn't planning on posting anything to my tumblr again, but devientart isn't letting me post something from the website, so ig im posting something here.

anyways, this is a redraw of the first drawing ive made on my first ipad, and this will also be the first time ive posted that said old drawing.

ofc it wont be the first time i redrew one of my drawings, but like- this is the first thing ive drawn on my ipad. and like- it looks bad. and i was proud of it at the time.

anyways heres the old drawing first:

so like- i used to sketch bodys with these weird ovals, and then erase some parts, so they didn't look weird, even tho they still ended up looking weird, and i did that with this drawing.

so i think i based this drawing after sammy lawrence from back when chapter 2 came out (or just beta sammy), so thats why he has no feet (but then like- i used to give my characters nubs for hands and feet at the time, but telling that it looks purposely cut off at the feet, that its how i wanted it to look.)

okay and the mask (or just how i used to draw any of the characters, that looked like they had bendys head. ) my head thought that if i made the space inbetween the horns a circle, then it would look good, but i was completely wrong, it looks bad. like- it looks like some badly shaped moon.

and the face. bro has the face shape of a wonky mcdonalds logo, and i drew the eyes without trying to sketch them first.

and the legs... bro has wobbly legs.

also i sucked at poses (i still do suck, but its not as bad as that old drawing.)

anyways, enough of that monstrosity, heres the redrawing:

you all can tell i got better at art.

there were afew details i wanted to add to this, but i just felt like they didn't look good (like the bits of ink that was missing from the one eye. i tried to add it, but i didn't like it much.)

the space inbetween the horns look more abit like an oval, than a circle.

also, he has shoes (or boots) now. he is nolonger shoeless.

anyways for the pose. i tried to make it look a tiny bit more realistic with the arms. (basically he actually looks like he has elbows, then having two weird elbows, that look like a failed attempt at a rubber hose style arm, on one arm, and a short elbow on the other.)

also, his legs nolonger look like they are in constant pain, and i even got the hole in the mouth of the mask right (its not the right shape, but its just how ive been drawing it now currently.)

also the hands look even more like hands than the original, and they dont look like their hurting at the wrists. (no srs, looking at the old drawing again, hurts my eyes with the hands. like- they look like weird cat paws, and they weren't even holding the axe right (bros gonna do nothing holding that axe like that-😭💀 wait- should i even consider that an axe in the old drawing, it looks more like a weird hatchet due to how small it is). oh yeah, not to mention that, that the head of the axe, wasn't even on the handle. if bro were to hit something with that axe, the head would just fly off like nothing.

also, the outfit looks much more like overalls in the newer drawing, than the old. really, it only looked like poorly made stripes thats supposed to resemble overalls, but dont much.

oh yeah, that old drawing of sammy isn't the first time i drew him. before drawing digitally, i mostly drew on paper. i actually dont remember what my first drawing of sammy was.

oh yeah- i tried to make the mask sammy wears, look like it was an actual mask, but when i tried to make it look like there was a head behind the mask, i didn't like it at all much, so i decided to not add it, and i think it turned out well, when i did that.

i also wasn't originally going to give sammy some of the extra details, like the sides of the face, but im happy i chose to add them. (i might not add as much detail than i did in that redraw, if i ever draw sammy again.

anyways, i should stop typing now.

all i gotta say is that i hate that old drawing, and im happy that the redraw turned out well.

Re: OC ask game, ive got a couple! hope im allowed to bombard you (👉 ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)👉

Jeepers: 🍀🌺🥊

Creepers: 🌼🍕(aside from monster flesh and Jeepers’ leg, of course)🍎

Sanford: 🎹💚✂️

Spring: 💼🧠✨

Ohhh a lot of them! Thank you!! :D Jeepers: 🍀 - What originally inspired the OC? Funny enough I think he was just a design that came to mind that I drew down in a sketch book. I liked the design but didn't know what to do with him so he was thrown into a folder with other characters with no comic or story in mind until I put him in Jeepers' Creepers 🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)? At the moment, no. He does try to flirt with some when he can but doesn't have much luck. Probably wouldn't go far with Creepers around either 🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do? Loves to smoke, drink, drive his car when he can. He likes screwing around with people and Creepers can make that easy for him. He likes music and the night life. Hates work, paying for his car. Being unable to drive his car due to a DUI. Being bitten. Being told what to do. Creepers: 🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range) Maybe 4-5? He's pretty small and still very clingy to Jeepers who lets him stay at his house. Not in school yet. 🍕 - What is their favorite food? I think there's just too many foods he likes best. He just loves food and can't get enough 🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like? He was kind of just left to his own to live. He found Jeepers who is basically his guardian at this point. i don't think he has any hatred towards them though? Sanford: 🎹 - Do they have any hobbies? He enjoys working out when he has the chance. He has a nice rock collection he's really proud of. He's one of those people who likes to go out and mow the lawn and take care of the plants and trees in his yard. He likes to play video games as well but he likes his console games and I doubt has played many games on the PC. Likes to read as well! 💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality? He's a cisgendered guy and is shy about telling anyone his sexuality ✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories? Probably death in his family when he was younger Spring: 💼 - What do they do for a living? She is a kindergarten teacher! Loves her job 🧠 - What do you like most about the OC? I love how cheerful and bubbly she can be. She knows how to cheer others up. I like how because she is a teacher to small children she will try her best not to swear at all in order to not accidentally swear in front of her students. I like that she is confident in who she is and what she likes. She enjoys putting clothes together how she thinks looks nice. ✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name? There was a thing with my closest friends to name characters after seasons and when I made her I decided she would take the name Spring for one of them :D

DAY STARTING OFF STRONG….!

—okay I saw some super cute comic from diff fandom and it really got me fired up. I wanted to draw comics of MY otp. 🥺🥺🥺 and I thought going for a more simplistic style would help with my high expectations of likensss that I can’t meet right now 😭😭😭 and so I got to sketching!!!!

—had some kind of idea and it was a very simple one and I just went….to do it. it did seem very ambitious too (with lol a big panel of holding…..hands…….)with the FOCUS but ehhhh just yesterday I was practicing hands I would be fine. they thought<3 lolllll

—I had thoughts of changing the comic to be different but I was like nahhh this is simple let’s stick with it! just go for it! I didn’t want to over complicate stuff or anything

—and so I got to overlarging the sketch and making it big so it can be the size I want it to be… and so I got to drawing over it and that’s when I immediately hit a block….

—the thing was the first rough sketch I did was so much cuter and better…. I feel like when I tried to draw over it….i tried to more capture likeness and then it just didn’t turn out as cute or as good as the rough sketch… so obviously I had to redo that. I did try to fix it at first (seeing the diff:larger eyes extra but ehhhhh it didn’t work) so I just went to redoing it. And ah!!! this attempt was def better!!!!

—also ha………drawing bust shots are Hard……….so I tried to (during first redraw over rough sketch) to also include in bits of torso etc to see how things would look like. I remembered this video I watched that said it’s best to draw things that aren’t in the shot so you can know where things are or smth. my quoting isn’t the best. anyways! it def helped…. also initially wasn’t even gonna include the bit I drew to help imagine the rest so I can draw bust shot… but I ended up including… I think it was good to hand in bits of the arm… also I remembered that they’re were supposed to be holding hands so I had made sure to make the hand their moving to hold hands looked like that

—I don’t even wanna talk about ssk’s hair it was so fcking annoying. clothes…….im so glad that ssk’s clothes is very simple in this era… lol… just a cape…. and I tried to remember to add in wrinkle since hand was moving…. sskkr clothes were simple too…. I’ve gotten used to it while drawing a lot of Srda who wears similar to her mom 💗

—I went straight to lining it… I didn’t even redraw over the hands… was impatient lol and just wanted to get to lining the characters…. and so I went! and did! and lol it’s obvs I started to loose the patience lmaoo. I didn’t take that much care when it came to skkr hair and roughly lined it like I was sketching. I didn’t mind. it looked okay.

—also crazy that I just went into lining the hands like that. my rough sketch of the hands was super rough sketch too lmaooo but somehow…?! it turned out well….?! this is the one im almost surprised at. I thought it’d turn out way worse. I mean yeahhhhh skk’s fingers over hers make no sense but skkr’s turned out better than I’d hope for…..im really proud of them…. so djjdjdjd I just didn’t want to cover up with ugly skk fingers so I made his fingers still continue to not make sense 💗

—finished the line art and honestly at this point…..I wasn’t feeling great about the art………….. which made me feel sad…. anyways I thought to add colour??

—and my GOSH do I need so much practice with color like wtf….picking the right color can be so hard wtf………it was turning out worse and I didn’t likeeee ittt. one bitttt. but I decided to just continue and go to ssk and do his hair and THIS WHERR THINGS CHANGED!!!!!

—like okay I was thinking what color for his hair…..since I did the line art dark purple….black made no sense. I usually just scribble in lines for darkness so I just decided to do the purple line art color for the hair and WHEN I LOWERED THE OPACITY A LITTLE… SO I CAN BETTER SEE THE LINEART SO I CAN COLOUR IN MORE ACCURATELY… TAHTS WHN THE MAGIC BEGANZZZZ

—-I realized I can do this in MONOCOLOUR!!!!!!!!! omg I forgot that so much and by gosh, was I so happy by this discovery!!!!!!!!!’ ahhhhhh I love monocolor so muchhhhh. my fav shit. it turned this into super fun drawing. I had much fun in trying to decide the diff opacities/values of diff stuff and really —when I was doing his cape for the hand…..that’s where the magic really flourished…. ah it made this drawing a very happy one for me… <3333

—it did still a lil empty so here I was just adjusting and trying to figure what to add and how to not make it too much and now looking back this version is totally fine……ahhhhh…..I kinda wish I kept the hearts. I did like how I scribbled it in…..they looked fun….oh well.

—also seriously lol I gotta stop posting stuff as soon as I finish it…. There should be something about looking at stuff with fresh eyes but also man…. I’m just pretty lazy abt that lol.

—RIDING THIS HIGH!!!! I WANTED TO DO ANOTHER SS PIECE!!!! THIS TIME MORE LOOKING LIKE THEN!!!!! I had this pose/idea in mind and just went straight to sketching the idea and very happy with it…. it feels so nice too to just have an idea for pose and get to sketching it and be able to doing it ahhhhhh. also felt very nice when I roughly sketched it in and cleaned it up a lil like the face and stuff… properly adding in some features n stuff. also hmmmm i probs should do something with ssk’s other arm….

—also lmao I really have neglected the feet too much. I need to do something about learning them but also ahhhh I really don’t want to. also did have some struggle with trying to find out if they were sitting or what they were lying on… or kneeling or whatever. floor or actual sofa/chair…. I need to better visualize stuff like that… also I think for me, ss in side view I think im the best in… also man I really need to work on her hair a lot.

—anyways as I was doing this I had started to get a better image of like a story so I kinda wanted to turn this into a comic and while I was drawing the hair that kinda turned into a redraw of face too… I ended up trying to draw the comic bit that I wanted to include and ha………..this where things started to fall apart….. 😭😭😭😭 my problem of deawing ss faces came back to me 😔😔😔

—and ahhh seriously I don’t know what it is. I thought maybe the nose…? So I tried different way but nope. it’s not that. it got me so frustrated n sad I just stopped the wip there. I was already planning to pause anyways since I was getting tired… and plus trying to think of clothes was also too exhausting but sad to have to pause the wip in that moment…

(now looking back at this as I am uploading the images on to here… I think it might be the mouth of her face that’s the problem…..? also lol noticed problems with her side profile face too it looks a bit off but eh well I can always fix that later)

—-ahhhb seriously I need to do ss face sketches…. I looked at the manga to see what it is that im just getting so wrong that feels so frustrated…. and I think maybe the eyes…? is a big one…? and maybe nose???? anyways I just really need to practice!!!! but forgetting that part. today start was very good!!!! im pleasantly surprised!!!!

—I want to go back to the comic sketch that I drafted yesterday…. and also I want to do lots of figure pracs so I don’t go out of practice…. yeah….! and more hand studies… feet I can’t be asked to do. BDJFJKFKD. im just not interested into doing it and don’t care to right now even though I probs should be….. 5.56

6.00 I kinda just wanna do the ss face prac right now but also I really am too tired for more art stuff… Rn…. I just wanna take break….

“Hey, I’m glad you trust me with your feelings,” you softly murmured which somehow traveled to Yeonjun’s ear, and he finally glanced up with a deep frown settled on his face. He just sighed, wincing as he moved to wipe his glossy eyes after a while. Sitting right in front of you, he hopelessly covered his face to no avail with his bloody hands, the ones that abused the wall from behind him and not to mention, his knuckles as well. 

Just an hour or two ago, you were witnessing him dig his knuckles into the wall, excruciating punch by punch while glossy tears streamed against the valleys of his cheeks. Your teeth rattled with every hit he threw towards it, but there was nothing else you could do but watch until he let everything out. 

Nonetheless, you were surprised to see him this late into the night but you had to mention you were disappointed too. It was right after your little study session in the local library in order to ace the test that was coming, nose filled in a few hardcover books as your mind took you to places where you’d never been able to achieve. All of it was boring as hell, but you had to study for this one since it was important. Before you knew it, the time was coming to the steady yet shorter hand of eight o’clock, and you needed to leave before the cranky, old librarian shouted at you to leave.

This time when you saw him grunting in agony as he clubbed the brick walls, you couldn’t help yourself. You told yourself time and time again not to mess with him since guys like him only bring trouble but when it came to Yeonjun, the scenario was quite different. 

You were a bit sad that he couldn’t tell you about this problem, although why would he when you were both basically strangers? The first time you met was something memorable, for perhaps you were the first person to see him cry at lunch in a lone place. You wanted to help him- you needed to! And speaking quite honestly, you didn’t mind. You really didn’t mind at all. That poor look on his face as he realized you were watching every tear fall from his eyes the first time you met... you just weren’t able to resist seeing someone so strong practically fall apart in front of you. 

To Yeonjun though, he hated being like this in front of you. Weak, pathetic, foolish, vulnerable, all those stupid words to describe it. He felt sick to his stomach, mind swarming with multiple curses as he watched you inch closer to him. You’d only been friends for a few months because of one incident, but he still couldn’t wrap his mind around this. Weren’t you supposed to be scared of him or something? What a shame that didn’t work now because he looked so damn fragile before you. 

“How about we go home now? Do you want me to take you home?” He perked up at the sound of your voice as you took his knuckles into your hand, holding back the urge to moan from the washing pain over his own. You pulled him up as best as you could with a little help from him, smiling when he stood tall and proud of you instead of swimming in the feeling of desperation.

A genuine smile painted your lips as you looked up at him, not knowing the immediate response he surprisingly had to it. Yeonjun’s cheeks heated up at the fact that you were grinning so widely in front of him, blossoming into red roses as he couldn’t avert his eyes away from your face. Internally but without realizing, he sketched out your adorable nose and simply soft looking cheeks, so that he could always come back to this memory whenever he missed you. Your eyes were sparkling in the street light, dazzling white snow falling between the both of you as he sighed in pure happiness. Every time you were near, these feelings he tried so hard to stop always returned, and he found himself admiring you all the more. More than what a friend should feel. 

The freezing, shaking hand intertwined with his made him retract in surprise, hands swiftly gripping the ends of his own oversized hoodie with worry. 

“You’re shaking, baby. Didn’t I tell you to dress warmly during the winter a month ago?”

He remembered that...? 

Hastily he threw off his hoodie, murmuring towards your direction to lift up your arms in which you easily did from how fast he was going. You gasped at the sheer size of the sweatshirt which fit you warmly, protecting you from the freezing, biting cold while Yeonjun’s chest reverberated from a few chuckles of satisfaction. 

You were adorable. 

“But you don’t even-”

He pulled you close, clearly enjoying how you shyly shut your mouth when he did so. A smirk replaced the deep frown on his face from before when he realized you weren’t taking him seriously, and he sneakily leaned down to press a sweet, chaste kiss against your forehead. 

“It’s fine, baby~ Now, can I have another kiss? Right here?” He pointed towards his lips, causing you to widen your shocked mouth just a little as you watched him lean down. This- this wasn’t what friends did... but who were you to talk when you stood on your tippy-toes anyway? 

Maybe Yeonjun did have a soft spot for you. Or maybe it was because he always knew.
