#instead of doing the others arts I hyper fixated on this

[cececat]

STH FanStory Recommendations:

As well as writing, I have found myself also reading an awful amount of Sonic-related fanfiction and comics recently… So, I thought I’d share a few of my favourites in case anyone else has found themselves hyper-fixating over this fandom like I have recently 🦔

I’ll try to put them in sections but please note that quite a few of the topics tend to overlap. Oh and also, there happens to be an awful lot of Sonadow shipping too, because even if it’s not always the key focus in the story, it always seems to make its way into the things I consume now apparently 😅 So I’ll be sure to tag with 💙🖤❤️ if that’s relevant.

I hope you like this list (it took quite a while to put together) and be sure to show all of these stories and creators some love! 👇👇 👇

And obviously I had to start this list by plugging my own fanfiction stories, because I've been putting so much work into them and they will be updated regularly, while also making lots of other stuff as well... So please follow and/or subscribe for that... 😉 archiveofourown.org/users/cececatcreates

Live Action Universe:

Concord by EvieNyx (@evienyx) - [Complete] 💙🖤❤️ Focuses on Shadow after the third SCU movie. It’s really cute, and I feel like it accurately portrays movie-Shadow’s thoughts and memories, mixing together elements of the films with fan theories and other STH media canon.

Project Guardian by AealZX @aealzx - [Ongoing] Again, after the third SCU movie (there’s quite a few of them 😅) but Shadow is taken in as a fourth Wachowski sibling, who has to recover from severe injuries. Some art is included, and it’s just really sweet all-in-all.

Secrets In Our Quills by @nebrasska-alasska - [Ongoing] 💙🖤❤️ I’m sure many of you are already aware of their amazing stories, but this one is the longest so far, and also the closest to being completed. But if you like Sonadow slowburn and plenty of gay fluff, you should definitely read all of their incredible fanfics.

A Junk Yard Of Possibilities by CrazyForClones (@crazyforclones) - [Complete] This story looks at what happened to Agent Stone after Dr Robotnik’s death and focuses on the potentially adorable friendship that could blossom between him and Tails.

Family Loading… Please Wait by Humanities_Handbag ( @humanityinahandbag) & Invader_Sam (@smerfols) - [Ongoing] This quickly became a favourite, as it did with many others. �� It starts all the way back with the Wachowski’s adopting Sonic and then Tails and Knuckles and eventually Stone and Shadow, and it’s just the biggest, cutest family dynamic.

What Makes Us Who We Are by EmmaSmoke ( @emmasmoke8) - This is about the Mobians doing certain things their Earth animal counterparts would naturally do. My favourite parts are definitely Tails doing adorable fox things and Tom and Maddie trying to figure out what the heck all their anthropomorphic alien children are doing. 😅

Suspended by CheetahBoy (@90sfr3sh) - This looks at what could have happened if Sonic and Tails didn't get rescued by Maddie and Rachel during the second film. It's such a cool concept, I'm very excited to see what happens next! 😁

General / Alternate Universes:

Sonic Wave by Sharp_Silver (@sharp-silver-fanfic) - [Ongoing] I really love this story! 💕 It’s basically a full retelling of the STH universe lore, taking elements from all different bits of media. It’s been crazy good so far, so please give them your support!

Weird Science by satan_official - [Ongoing] 💙🖤❤️ This one is really interesting and it sort of makes me think of Equestria Girls (for any MLP fans out there!) but instead it’s Sonic and Shadow who are stuck in human bodies on the human world. It’s a bit different but really great so far 😁

Fixing Fractured Worlds We Briefly Broke by TheLittleStar_tm - [Ongoing] 💙🖤❤️ This is a fellow Prime fanstory, focusing on the trauma of all the Green Hills characters we already all know and love in the aftermath of season 3. 💔

Boom To Another Dimension by Gamerblade - [Ongoing] Explores what could happen if the SCU Live Action film characters were sent to the Sonic Boom universe, with pretty regular updates being uploaded so far. 😊

Into The Tailsverse by TheCatCacoon - [Ongoing] This one has a bunch of my favourite little two-tailed foxes, and, as someone who is also exploring bringing different Miles Prowers together, it’s intriguing to see how someone else writes these characters 🦊

Culture Shock by foggystarrs (@foggystarrs) - [Ongoing] 💙🖤❤️ Purely a Sonadow fanfiction, but it looks at hedgehog / Mobian courting behaviour and is just really cute 🥰 If you are a fan of oblivious gay and alien hedgehogs, you’ll probably love this one.

Others / Comics:

Sonic Desolation by Wren Rivers (@sonicdesolation by TrenchCoatGecko) - [Ongoing] This is a crazy detailed comic set around the events of the Sonic Forces game where Sonic is struggling with PTSD from what Infinite did to him during his imprisonment.

Heart Of A Monster by SuperEmeralds (@the-heart-of-a-monster by @superemerarts) - [Ongoing] Another insanely detailed comic, which is a retelling of Sonic Unleashed. Its so well done, plus there's a gentle sprinkling of platonic Sonadow.

Team Dark Supernova Odyssey by @sharpedgedfool (@teamdarksupernovaodyssey) - [Ongoing] This is a space opera comic revolving around found family and adventure themes, set as a hypothetical spin-off to the Shadow the Hedgehog video game.

Sonic Boom Revisited by @multiisketch , @mama-qwerty. & @star-stages (@sonicboomrevisited) - [Ongoing] This comic is amazing. A bit darker than the original series, but has just been so gripping so far. Regular updates too! Definitely recommended! 👍

Second Chance by @sumju - 💙🖤❤️ - Who doesn’t love a Sonadow comic?? Plus Tails is adorable as usual (and reminding Shadow of Maria 😭) so that’s an added bonus 🧡

Infested by @flightyalrighty - [Ongoing] Viewer discretion advised for this one, it seems pretty dark...

Ask the Sonic Verse by @verizzafai (@asksonicverse) 💙🖤❤️ - [Ongoing] This is a fun, silly ongoing series which focuses on different versions of Sonadow all being stuck in the same room and getting sent questions from the audience.

Low Light by @verizzafai (@soniclowlightau) 💙🖤❤️ - Only a few pages so far, but looks very promising!

Broken Future by @teamchillidogs 💙🖤❤️ - [Ongoing] A tragic re-telling of an alternate ending of Sonic Adventure 2.

Silver's Parent Trap by @evilgenius-prower 💙🖤❤️ - A silly AU where Silver is actually the adopted future child of Sonadow and goes back in time to try and save his dads lives.

Eggsperiments by @prince-less - This is a new concept so there's not much content about it yet, but I really hope it becomes either a proper comic or fanfic or something similar, because I'm such a sucker for alternate stories of Sonic and Tails being the best brothers, and this a really cool idea 🥺

Sonadow Future by @torusonicpilled 💙🖤❤️- [Ongoing] Another newer one, with a few fanfic chapters and a few comic pages, but they've already got me interested from the idea that Tails can be resurrected, so I'm excited to see where it goes next ☺️

Sonic & The Olympus Heroes by @miitarion - Not sure if this will be continued as it was only shared quite recently, so might just be a one-off, but the art is incredible; Definitely worth a read! ✨

@mercurio-shadowz - They've not been following a particular storyline, but their art and short comics (especially about Shadow being a closeted gay disaster) are awesome. 🤩

Incomplete / Unfinished:

These are a bunch of stories that I really grew to love but they either stopped too long ago and so are presumably forgotten about, or may have been abandoned entirely and will likely never receive any conclusions. I’ve included when they were last updated, but only read these at your own discretion! ⚠️

• Can’t Defeat A Genius Without Taking His Brain by xenoon [4 months] • Deepest Desire by Tirainy [5 years] 💙🖤❤️ • Mad About You by Cherivide [1 year] 💙🖤❤️ • Sonic The Second Speedster by ItsZaira [1 year] • Sonic the Vagabond Hedgehog by @trekkerac (@tatck) [1 year] - This quickly became a favourite; Sonic and Tails' relationship is so adorable 😭 But you might only want to read the first issue and think of it as complete, since the second issue isn't complete and hasn't been touched for a year or so... 😔

I've tagged as many people as I can and might come back to this list later if I find more that I enjoy, but for now I think (hope!) it's mostly up to date 💖

[broadway-karkat]

Why the obsession with Kendrick Lamar?

THIS IS THE ONLY ANON I’LL ANSWER TO AND THAT’S BECAUSE I’M *SO* GLAD YOU ASKED. I WILL BE VERY FUCKING UNHINGED ABOUT THIS. BE WARNED. HERE'S A PLAYLIST OF THE BEEF.

((I'll be roleplaying as Karkat obviously but the Drake vs Kendrick diss is genuinely a hyper-fixation for me atm so I’m gonna put everything under a readmore -ModKat))

OK SO BASICALLY, DRAKE BROUGHT KENDRICK INTO THE SCENE FOR HIS TOUR OF HIS ALBUM “TAKE CARE” WHICH IS CERTIFIED MID IN MY OPINION. AFTER THAT KENDRICK RELEASED "GOOD KID. MAAD CITY" AND “TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY” WHICH WERE FUCKING CLASSIC ON ARRIVAL. KENDRICK WAS THEN FEATURED IN A SONG WITH BIG SEAN TITLED "CONTROL", WHICH CALLED MANY RAPPERS BY NAME AND SAYING "I GOT LOVE FOR YOU ALL BUT I'M TRYNNA MURDER YOU (N-WORD)", BASICALLY SAYING KENDRICK WAS COMING FOR THE CROWN (I DON'T REALLY RECALL IF THIS HAPPENED BEFORE OR AFTER TPAB, I THINK IT WAS BEFORE. PLUS HE CHECKED WITH THE OTHER RAPPERS AND THEY EITHER ANSWERED ON SOME HIP HOP SUBLIMINALS OR WERE TOTALLY COOL WITH IT. HIP HOP *IS* A BIT OF COMPETITION AFTER ALL). AND WHO WASN'T HAPPY ABOUT THIS, NOT NOTICING THAT HIP HOP *HAS* A SIDE OF RAP BATTLES AND DISSING? DRAKE. HE JUST STARTED... WHINING ABOUT IT ON INTERVIEWS LMAO. HOWEVER, AFTER TPAB, KENDRICK FELT A BIT LIKE HIS MISSION TO SAVE THE WORLD WITH PREACHY CONSCIOUS SHIT HAD FAILED AND HE PUT THAT ANGER INTO HIS NEXT ALBUM, “DAMN.”, WHICH WON HIM A FUCKING PULITZER AWARD. THEN KENDRICK VANISHED FROM THE SCENE FOR AROUND 5 YEARS, PROBABLY DOING SOME SOUL SEARCHING, AND IN THE MEANTIME LET’S TALK ABOUT DRAKE.

DRAKE HAD ALWAYS SAID HE WOULDN'T GO INTO A DISS COMPETITION WITH ANOTHER RAPPER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT HIS VIBE AND "THE LYRICS WOULD BE SCATHING" (PARAPHRASING A BIT HERE). THEN WHEN MEEK MILLS, ANOTHER RAPPER, DISSED DRAKE IN A SONG (FUCK ME IF I REMEMBER WHICH ONE, THIS BEEF IS SO LONG), DRAKE RESPONDED WITH ANOTHER DISS AND INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR HIS COMPETITION TO RELEASE A RESPONSE HE DROPPED "BACK TO BACK" AFTER LIKE 3 DAYS, WHICH WAS A MASSIVE HIT, AND MILLS DISAPPEARED FROM THE FEUD THEN. DRAKE WON. THEN COMES ONE PUSHA-T.

PUSHA-T STARTED BEEF WITH DRAKE AND DRAKE RESPONDED WITH A (SURPRISINGLY GOOD) DISS CALLED "DUPPY FREESTYLE", WHERE HE MENTIONS PUSHA'S WIFE AT A THROWAWAY LINE ("I TOLD YOU KEEP MY NAME OUTTA YOUR MOUTH OR ELSE IMMA LET IT RAIN ON YOU LIKE VIRGINIA WILLIAMS"), WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU JUST. *DON'T* DO IN HIP HOP. PUSHA WAS MAD AND... WELL, HE RELEASED "THE STORY OF ADIDON", WHICH HAD THIS AS THE COVER ART AND EXPOSED THE FACT THAT DRAKE HAD A HIDDEN SON WITH A FORMER ADULT ACTRESS, AND HE WAS HIDING SAID SON IN ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DOING AN ADIDAS CAMPAIGN AND REVEAL HIS EXISTENCE TO THE WORLD. SAID CAMPAIGN OBVIOUSLY NEVER HAPPENED AND DRAKE NEVER RESPONDED 'CAUSE LIKE. THE FUCK YOU SAY BACK TO THAT, *WITH IT BEING TRUE*??? HE WON OFF THAT, BUT INSTEAD OF DESTROYING HIS CAREER, THINGS ONLY WENT UP FOR DRAKE. HE WON ARTIST OF THE DECADE, ETC. IF THAT WAS HIP HOP'S FUTURE, OK FINE, BUT IT WASN'T A DIRECTION A LOT OF FANS WERE VERY MUCH INTO. UNTIL KENDRICK CAME BACK.

KENDRICK CAME BACK WITH "MR. MORALE AND THE BIG STEPPERS", WHICH SHOWED A VERY HUMAN SIDE OF HIM, IN MY OPINION. IT WAS RAW, IT WAS FAMILY, IT WAS EMOTION. WHEN HE CAME BACK, DRAKE ASKED HIM TO FEATURE IN A SONG ON HIS ALBUM "FOR ALL THE DOGS", BUT KENDRICK DENIED. SO DRAKE COLLABED WITH J-COLE INSTEAD, AND THAT'S WHEN THE STORY TRULY STARTS.

J-COLE MENTIONED KENDRICK IN HIS FEAT. VERSE IN THE SONG "FIRST PERSON SHOOTER", SAYING "LOVE WHEN THEY ARGUE THE HARDEST MC, IS IT K-DOT, IS IT AUBREY OR ME? WE THE BIG THREE LIKE WE STARTED A LEAGUE" AND THAT... WAS A MISTAKE. BESIDES HIS HEALING JOURNEY, I DON'T FUCKING KNOW BUT SOMETHING AWOKE INSIDE KENDRICK. MAYBE THE SPIRIT OF COMPETITIVENESS? ANYWAY, AFTER THAT KENDRICK HAD A FEATURE IN FUTURE + METRO BOOMIN'S COLLAB ALBUM "WE DON'T TRUST YOU" (YES THIS IS ANOTHER JAB AT DRAKE) WHERE HE SAYS, DURING HIS VERSE ON THE SONG "LIKE THAT", "FUCK SNEAK DISSIN', FIRST PERSON SHOOTER", "FOR ALL YOUR DOGS GETTIN' BURIED, THERE'S A K WITH ALL THESE NINES, HE GON' SEE PET SEMATARY" AND "MOTHERFUCK THE BIG THREE, (N-WORD), IT'S JUST BIG ME". THAT CAUSED AN UPROAR BECAUSE KENDRICK TAKING DIRECT SHOTS? AT BOTH J-COLE AND DRAKE? PEOPLE WERE EATING THIS UP.

J-COLE THEN RELEASED A MIXTAPE CALLED "MIGHT DELETE LATER" AND IN IT HE TAKES DIRECT SHOTS AT KENDRICK AT THE SONG "7 MINUTE DRILL", WHERE HE COMPARES EACH OF KENDRICK'S ALBUM'S QUALITY. BUT THEN DURING A SHOW HE SAID, AND I QUOTE, "I'M SO PROUD OF THAT PROJECT, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. I DON'T REALLY FEEL NO WAY, BUT THE WORLD WANNA SEE *BLOOD*. [CITY NAME], YOU LOVE KENDRICK LAMAR, RIGHT? AS DO I" AND POLITELY EXCUSED HIMSELF FROM THE FEUD, REMAINING ON THE SIDELINES OF EVERYTHING HAPPENING. HE ALSO DELETED THE SONG "7 MINUTE DRILL" FROM "MIGHT DELETE LATER" WHICH IS HILARIOUSLY IRONIC.

AFTER "LIKE THAT", DRAKE, HAVING LOST *MASSIVELLY* TO PUSHA-T, FELT COMPELLED TO RESPOND. AND THAT HE DID, WITH A NEW DISS TRACK CALLED "PUSH-UPS". IN THAT HE BASICALLY MAKES FUN OF KENDRICK'S HEIGHT (HE IS 5'5 WHICH, BEING A LATINO TROLL, IS JUST THE AVERAGE SIZE OF MEN SO I MIGHT BE BIASED). THAT WAS THE ENTIRE SONG. EVEN THE COVER ART WAS A PICTURE OF KENDRICK'S SHOE SIZE, REFERENCING THE LYRICS "HOW THE FUCK YOU BIG STEPPIN' WITH A SIZE 7 MEN ON". IT ALSO HAD MORE JABS, SOMETIMES DOUBLE ENTENDRES, LIKE "TOP SAY DROP, YOU BETTER DROP AND GIVE 'EM 50" REFERRING TO KENDRICK'S DEAL WITH HIS LABEL, TOP DOG RECORDS, AND A 50% DEAL THAT MEANS HE'S NOT MAKING MUCH OVER HIS SONGS. THERE WAS ALSO A BIT THAT CALLED HIM OUT FOR COLLABING WITH POP STARS AT THE BEHEST OF HIS RECORD COMPANY ("MAROON 5 NEED A LINE, YOU BETTER MAKE IT WITTY. THEN WE NEED A VERSE FOR THE SWIFTIES").

AFTER THAT DRAKE TRIED THE "BACK TO BACK" TECHNIQUE AGAIN AND AROUND 1 TO 2 WEEKS LATER RELEASED A SONG CALLED "TAYLOR MADE FREESTYLE", WHICH IS... UGH. I DON'T KNOW YOUR STANCE ON AI, BUT AI SINGERS GIVE ME THE CREEPS. DRAKE USED AN AI VOICE OF BOTH 2PAC AND SNOOP DOGG FOR THIS SONG, CALLING FOR KENDRICK TO RESPOND. LIKE, BRO USED THE GUY'S HEROES TO CONVINCE HIM TO GO TO BATTLE, WHO THE FUCK HURT YOU DRAKE??? EITHER WAY THE TUPAC ESTATE SUED HIM FOR USING HIS VOICE AND DRAKE HAD TO PULL THAT OFF THE INTERNET BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, ONCE IT'S POSTED ONLINE IT WAS EVERYWHERE.

THEN LIKE 3 DAYS LATER, KENDRICK FINALLY RESPONDED WITH "EUPHORIA", WHICH WAS BASICALLY A THESIS ON WHY AND HOW DRAKE SUCKED ("YOU'RE NOT A RAP ARTIST, YOU'RE A SCAM ARTIST, WITH HOPES OF BEING ACCEPTED"). THIS SONG GOES *HARD* AND I RECOMMEND YOU GIVE IT A LISTEN ("BUT DON'T TELL LIES 'BOUT ME AND I WON'T TELL TRUTHS 'BOUT YOU). IT HAS THREE DISTINCT ACTS, THE FIRST BEING ALMOST MELANCHOLIC, SECOND IS KENDRICK BEING KENDRICK, AND THE THIRD BEING THAT HARDCORE HIP HOP VIBE. EACH HAS THEIR UNIQUE BEATS TOO. BUT THEN IT WAS THE WEEKEND. AND THAT'S WHEN IT WENT BALLS TO THE WALL.

ON MAY 3RD, KENDRICK RELEASED "6.16 IN LA" WHICH WAS A DIRECT REFERENCE TO ONE OF THE WAYS DRAKE TITLES HIS SONGS. HE SAYS DRAKE IS A LIAR, HE WAS NEVER FROM THE STREETS (DRAKE GREW UP IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD IN TORONTO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN), AND SEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF DOUBT ON US (THE AUDIENCE) WHEN HE SAYS HE HAS INSIDERS INSIDE OVO RECORDS (DRAKE'S MUSIC LABEL). LATER *THE SAME DAY*, DRAKE STARTED HYPING UP STREAMERS, EVERYONE, THAT HE WAS GOING TO RELEASE A FUCKING BOMB OF A SONG AND IT WAS GOING TO BE AMAZING SO LATER THAT DAY DRAKE DROPS "FAMILY MATTERS" WHERE HE BASICALLY ACCUSES KENDRICK OF BEATING HIS WIFE (???) ("WHEN YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR GIRL, IS IT SELF-DEFENSE 'CAUSE SHE BIGGER THAN YOU?").

THEN, I KID YOU NOT, *30 MINUTES LATER*, KENDRICK DROPS AGAIN WITH "MEET THE GRAHAMS" (DRAKE'S NAME IS AUBREY GRAHAM), WHERE HE WRITES A LETTER TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN DRAKE'S LIFE AND APOLOGIZING TO THEM, STARTING WITH HIS SON ADONIS, AND EVEN MENTIONING A SUPPOSEDLY SECRET SECOND CHILD, A GIRL AROUND 12-13. IT WAS DEVASTATING, SUDDENLY THE STREAMERS DRAKE HAD HYPED UP FOR *HIS* TRACK WERE ALL TALKING AND REACTING TO "MEET THE GRAHAMS" INSTEAD! KENDRICK PRETTY MUCH UNO REVERSED DRAKE, HE DID BACK TO BACK TO THE *CREATOR* OF BACK TO BACK. AND IT WORKED! MEET THE GRAHAMS IS NOT A SONG YOU LISTEN, IT IS A SONG YOU SURVIVE. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HEAR. BUT I'M GETTING OFF-TOPIC. DRAKE DID RELEASE ANOTHER DISS BUT IT'S IRRELEVANT, NOBODY CARED AND ALL HE DOES IS UH. CALL KENDRICK SHORT, SAY HE'S LYING AND THAT THEY FABRICATED THE SECRET CHILD STORY SO KENDRICK WOULDN'T HAVE ACCURATE INFORMATION BUT. WHY BOTHER GOING ALL THIS WAY????? I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T BUY IT. LET'S JUST SAY "THE HEART PART 6" IS *TECHNICALLY* IN THE BEEF LIST BUT IT’S BY FAR THE WORST DISS IN THIS STORY. IT CAME AFTER "NOT LIKE US" TOO SO I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.

THEN KENDRICK, HAVING WON OVER DRAKE, DID HIS VICTORY LAP WITH "NOT LIKE US", AN UPBEAT SONG CALLING DRAKE A P*DOPHILE AND CALLING TO ATTENTION HIS DUBIOUS RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUNGER WOMEN (LIKE MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN AND BILLIE EILISH WHEN THEY WERE A MINOR). THE SONG WON A FUCKING GRAMMY AWARD, THE FIRST DISS TRACK TO DO SO. AND, LISTENING TO IT, YOU CAN SEE WHY. KENDRICK HELD *NOTHING* BACK. AND THE "A MINOR" DOUBLE ENTENDRE WAS A HIT ON START. THEN THE POP OFF WITH KEN AND FRIENDS HAPPENED WHERE KENDRICK PLAYED "NOT LIKE US" LIKE AROUND 7 TIMES, AND THEN CAME THE SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW THAT MADE BE OBSESSED OVER THIS SUBJECT SO MUCH I HAVE THE ORDER OF SONGS FUCKING MEMORIZED.

HERE IS A PLAYLIST OF ALL THE DISS SONGS (INCLUDING A FEW I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT) IN ORDER.

IF I'M MISTAKEN ON MY LORE PLEASE CORRECT ME WITH AN ASK, AND IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR, CONGRATULATIONS! FUCK YOU!

AND YEAH I'M NOT GOING TO COVER "THE HEART PART 6" BECAUSE FUCK THAT SONG, IT WAS DRAKE BASICALLY ADMITTING DEFEAT.

[promptcorner]

Soooooo, I’ve been off the web and I’m suddenly seeing all this AI taking over AO3 happening.

Bots harassing people and another AI taking fics for databases— like why???????? It’s fanfiction, it’s mostly ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Hyper-fixation ramblings, and pure emotion for something the writer loves. Why in the world would anyone do this? Why are people taking the long and hard work, blood sweat and tears, literal history from 13 year olds or older or younger???? Any age actually???? Why? Why are people being so scummy that real life scum wouldn’t want to grow in their general vicinity?

Like, what’s the goal? Just to steal? Steal the Declaration of Independence at this rate, heck take the Mona Lisa— oh wait, Chat Gbt didn’t give you the right information and now your in police custody. Shame, you’ll need Ocean’s 8 and 11 to pull you out. No wait, you’ll need Audrey Hepburn to steal a million dollars for bail.

Ya know, I remember a time where art theft and book plagiarism was an actual crime that took effort to pull off. The mapping, planning, the get away car, the fights, and the sneaking people had to do was a big ass job. Now it’s a, guess who’s stealing Jenny’s fanfiction this week! Featuring Musklords and The Mother Board as themselves! Now staring the Dulingo Bird, Your Mom! And AO3, all being played by Markiplier! Directed by Hayao Miyazaki— coming out on YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

Idk what to do, but I’m getting sad and a bit pissed off.

Edit: Aaaaand I just realized that I spelled Chat GPT as GBT. Whatever, that site doesn’t deserve my respect, it’s called GBT now. Garbage Bin Tech.

Edit: Know that this is not a death treat. I understand that this post calls people that use AI as Criminals. In truth, that is harsh and untrue. The creators of those tools, aka, the CEOs and whoever are involved with the brains of those ideas are the real culprits. Those who buy in and use AI are varied with their goals. Some do use AI to scam and be scummy. But others are just kids who are trying to get by in school. Or, people want to use it for fun. I understand why people use it, I just don’t agree with it.

My parents look at AI like it’s a new technology— similar to the internet. They don’t use it, but they say it won’t be going anywhere and that we have to accept it. Truthfully and respectfully, not true: AI can’t do anything we already do. It’s not being used to help the public. It should be used to help people with disabilities so they can speak and whatnot— NOT STEAL ACTORS VOICES AND USE THEM IN MOVIES AND ADS THEY DIDN’T ENDORSE. It’s taken critical thinking away, killing the planet faster, and scamming hundreds if not thousands, and using other people’s hard work to make CEOs richer. This is a Teen Dystopia Novel, change my mind.

Instead of ignoring the problem and making AI solve it, why not go at the roots and pull them out like the ancients of old? There are many problems, but AI is only a bandaid the size of a pea that is slowly rotting with the gash in our skin. It won’t make the pain go away, and it definitely won’t get better.

If your a tutor, help kids with their homework. If your a teacher, say students get a better grade if they don’t use AI. And if your a parent, help your kid.

AI should get a big ass water mark with every generation, and get fined for not doing so. Like, a big ass fine.

As someone who loves to work on lineart but struggles with details, it was really inspiring seeing the progress of the hawke/sebastian drawing!! Thanks for sharing~ I would love to see more in the future if you’re up for it ^^

.Tysm!!!! I do love making timelapses and rewatching them myself to figure out if I’m going wrong somewhere, it’s like resetting your eyes mid picture. I do also love seeing other people’s processes too. I realised the other day why I like digital art and drawing in ink traditionally, it’s because I get to keep the actual process of the image, in 99% of my sketches traditionally I’ve drawn messily in pink, and drawn cleanly over it in black, and with digital art it’s just there on another layer. I am such a huge fan of process that it outweighs that final piece of art for me.

.I also think there’s a lot that can be learned from an artist’s process over idk a tutorial they make; I remember a while ago I asked another artist (I cannot remember who girlie mb ✋😬🤚) about drawing hands, and they made this nice little post that did help me but probably not how it would be expected, because with that post I realised my issue was with the foundation shapes I was drawing weren’t blocky enough for what I wanted. A simple “this is my process” from someone else helped me figure that out.

.For detailing! I find that not actually initially sketching everything helps a lot, (in my Sebhawke I actually add in Sebastian as an afterthought lmao it was just going to be Hawke on his own 😂) both in the fact that if you think of something mid picture you can just fit it in with little problem, and sketching loosely helps to free up and relax the hand if you’re getting a bit stiff drawing solely lineart. Also, I don’t know if this applies to anyone else but sometimes I’ll get a bit stuck on drawing a certain part of the image (maybe it’s a hand or idk how the clothes are supposed to lay) and it’s a really simply solution to just sketch it over the basic sketch, so it’s a bit more detailed and easier to lineart. Like idk what part of my brain was like “once the sketch is finished you can NEVER go back to it” because that’s stupid as hell; I’ll be on shading and realise that I could wedge something in somewhere and just go straight back to sketching.

.I do think that heavy detail is something that has to be built up to though, it’s not like something that can be done instantly without probably burning out or ending up hating detailing work. It’s also mental to look back on my stuff from like 2020 that I thought was so detailed for my skill at the time, and then comparing it to what I was making in 2023 which has as much detail in as I could manage; like that is progress and there’s no way I could have made that level of detail before I’d built myself up to it. And that compared to what I’m making now 😭 ……bro… I think my main issue is that I don’t know exactly how to flesh out medieval / fantasy stuff in a way that looks proper, just from like actual lack of knowledge about the time period even though I’m 👀🥴😩👌 about it, whereas cyberpunk was considerably easier because just slap a bunch of fans and wires and boxes and you’re good to go 👌.

.As an added note, detailing can literally just be drawing like a 3d shoelace instead of just a single line to represent a shoelace. Then you start drawing the eyelets in another picture, and then you do the proper stitching on the shoes, or maybe a distinctive tread, then maybe there’s buckles or velcro or a designer label on them. It’s not something to hyper fixate on all in one go. Literally just drawing the seams on clothing adds a layer of detail, (and also shows form!) and now I’m like rarely ever not drawing them because it’s just subconscious for me to add them in.

.Realistically I’d like to make proper timelapses that are actual screen recordings as opposed to what CSP shows because there’s probably a bunch of times where I’m just sitting there thinking about stuff or getting distracted by research, and that doesn’t show in my current timelapses; I don’t just one bomb these pictures!!! I faff for a fair bit of it!!! Also rotation and zoom on the canvas, the CSP recordings are kind of deceptive in omitting those.

.Anyway I have a timelapse tag for all my timelapse stuff, which is…. not a lot but STILL!! Also there’s this timelapse of my zevwarden picture from a bit ago that I never uploaded whoopsie 😘💕.

Hm? What’s this?

I don’t even know where I got this phone from- (*sigh* whatever…) So, social media, huh? Well, I have nothing better to do. Might as well spend some of my spare time here..

Hi, hello and welcome to this small (side-)blog of mine!

It’s just a silly thing I did because of my current hyper-fixation on SE:TD/Sonic, and everything is still severely a W.I.P! I’m @callmeclara235 by the way, and I don’t really care if you follow me there or not (and please don’t jump me for being so inactive lol xd).

So. yeah. A Sonic.EXE: The Disaster AU! It has some loose lore from the game here and there and a handful of headcanons, but I still hope you enjoy the occasional doodle or text post of mine!

———

/!\ RULES /!\

- Basic DNI (p3d0, z00, LGBTQ+phobic, etc.)

- No NSFW (whether in asks or anywhere else on my blog)

- Don’t be rude to me or anyone else on here, this is supposed to be a welcoming space for anyone. Spread kindness instead of hate!

- I’ll be happy for any gifts/fanart! Don’t be afraid to show me anything cool you have, maybe just any other (Sonic-related) art too.

- I don’t mind interacting with anons, other roleplayers or just other users. This is supposed to be a roleplay(/ask) blog after all!

- Magic Anons (aka you being able to influence whatever here) are allowed, unless you go overkill with it

(A lot more info under ‘read more’!)

» !? « Notes » ?! «

- There’ll be a handful of headcanons of mine and tweaks and adjustments to some lore or world-building here and there, so don’t be too confused if anything seems very OOC!

- I might doodle something here and there (I love drawing hehe), but I can’t say that it’ll be a constant thing I’ll do. I’ll try to add some doodles to asks/replies tho!

- I don’t mind most ships, though I prefer Sonadow. You can talk about them if you feel like it, just don’t go overdrive with it. Also, if you hate the ship or just feel generally uncomfortable around it, feel free to dip out. Not forcing anyone to stay here!

- Small Disclaimer; I do not own the (original?) characters nor am I associated with Sega or the creator of the Roblox SE:TD. They belong to their rightful owners. This is just a fun, little AU about a game I’m currently hyperfixated on.

Things that may get mentioned here:

- Character Death

- Violence / Murder

- Blood / Gore(-y stuff)

( Friendly reminder that everything is still a W.I.P, so characters are prone to change in looks/personality/backstory and so on + I just recently joined the Sonic fandom and don’t know apesh[!]t about most canon lore. )

Alright, so now that we have that- onto the characters!

[ Main Cast/Survivors: ]

★ Shadow ; An exhausted and brave teammate, still continuing to protect himself (and his team) against the dangers in this terrible, hideous world. He has lost a lot, yet he continues on until he can finally meet Maria again…

＋ Cream ; A scared, probably traumatized little rabbit girl who has lost many people close to her. She misses the days when everyone was fine and when everything was still colorful and friendly. Many mobians who have already passed are surprised that she has survived for so long — and she is too, but who knows when her time eventually ends?

☆ Rouge ; A sly, daring and sneaky bat lady who has decided to play a lot more serious and take the lead. She, alongside with Shadow, leads the team and tries to not die too soon. She is a tough one to get, but she knows that one day, her demise will meet her too.

♥︎ Amy ; A kind, strong girl who tries to protect what’s left of her old life — her friends. She’s brave and can swing her hammer around, but everyone has a weak spot. One miss-placed step, and it’s over. She knows, it scares her, but she stays strong to help her team out. It’s the most she has left anyways.

□ Knuckles ; A though, nearly fearless warrior who fights for himself most of the time, though he helps the team out sometimes. He’s strong and doesn’t hesitate to defend himself against the enemies. Not the most sentimental echidna, more of a dense block-head, but he knows when it is time to do the right thing. I think.

[ EXES / MONSTERS / DEMONS / WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM: ]

。□１ [ SONIC.EXE | ( dislikes ->) ' SMALL ' / ' (ALA)CRIT ' ] ; A murderous demon…? who took the appearance of a certain someone. It likes to cause chaos, trouble and massacre anywhere, anytime. Is a rather a silly fella when on a non-murderous rampage, open for some chit-chat or silly jokes. He likes toying with his victims and gets pissed off when they fight back.

＊。◆ [ KOLOSSOS | ' KOLOSS ' | ' KOLO '] ; A mute yet dangerous entity who could kill you in a few strikes. Is calm when unbothered, open for some yapping or jokes. Not as energetic as Small. Just a chill, spooky guy who could maul you on sight.

～／／／☁︎ [ TAILS DOLL | ' TD ' / ( dislikes ->) ' DOLLY ' ] ; A possessed doll it seems. Mischievous little guy who is an absolute menace. Loves playing around with the survivors, tricking them into its traps or just flying around them like a mosquito (that’s what some of them keep calling him!). Annoying at times, but it’s rather tolerable most of the time. Doesn’t mind talking to others, doesn’t talk a lot though.

-_\ ¡ ¡ ¡ /_-

Aaand that should be all! I mean, sure, the minions exist too- but maybe they’ll join in later :p Though, for now, have fun (or not) interacting with this silly AU of mine!

[wolfertinger]

salem is a good example of what happens when you absorb discussions of bigotry/intersectionality/community issues via shit like video essays or tumblr posts and then try and regurgitate second hand so that you can pretend to be the wokest person in the room. a lot of his posts have roots in more popular posts by people who have done actual research/discussion on the topic but since he doesnt bother reading past the 'interesting observation' phase when he covers it you get this half-assed statement with a side of accidental awful implication. take his stance on femininity/misogyny and transmen: transmen do have a problem with misogyny within their community, because misogyny is baked into the undercurrent of society and because most of them have personal and particularly crushing experiences with 'being a girl' (because they never were, and were being forced into a role that was both completely unfitting for them and horrifically oppressing) some of those guys come out with more sympathy for women in part because they themselves have experienced it- but you do also occasionally get folks who's bad experiences manifests in a bitterness. Its something worth addressing for sure- especially by other transmen! but salem only cares about uplifting what personally benefits 'his side', so he doesn't cover his bases and ends up espousing this awful 'masculinity bad' rhetoric where someone who actually cares would instead discuss the way some trans guys might benefit on examining their relationship to femininity and see if they might be worsening aspects of dysphoria by holding onto misogynist bias or bitterness towards femininity as a concept without implying this is an inherent fault of being a transguy or something that will 'fix' them (kinda like what salem is clearly doing for masculinity- he can be a fem guy, but it needs to be something you do because you want to be a feminine guy and not because you're bitter towards the opposite. salem can say he loves being fem but its also very clear that hes biased towards the opposite in a way that he would certainly benefit from addressing and improving before he starts preaching the other way)

agreed. i think, if you want to express yourself, in a way that makes you happy. then do it. but when your happiness, is at the expense of others. i have an issue.

there has been long standing issues, within the trans community, of infighting. salem, rather than attempting to fulfill his desire for "representing tboys", is fixated on a specific kind of trans man. and when other trans men, including those that look like his art, point this out, he becomes hyper defensive, and lashes out, accusing these trans men, of being "cissexist kalvin garrah transmeds", when most of these transmascs, may be people who do not or cannot transition medically, or are poc.

salem notably, picks and chooses when to take stake in your identity or not, shown how he will publicly humiliate a black trans woman, for adding onto a joke about blackness, claiming "white people ruin everything", yet will eat up analysis of his art by a "white enby", because the latter, is being more positive to him.

[theg-h-o-s-tontheshore]

First off, I wanna say that I mean no disrespect to the artists who worked on Hazbin Hotel. It’s just that I’ve been seeing people make redesigns of Hazbin characters, and though I don’t usually participate in stuff like this (it seems fun, and you are all incredibly talented. I just feel kinda bad tinkering with someone else’s work like this), the show made me frustrated, and frustrated induced brain-vomit started sloshing around in my skull so noisily that it’s been keeping me up. And, well, I had to get it out somehow.

So…here ya go, I guess. It’s nothing crazy or new. It’s just a few disgustingly rough ideas for this very specific version of Charlie that I kept seeing in my head. They’re far from polished or anything, and they’re definitely missing some key details because I’ve been hyper-fixating on trying to get the face right lol. I might make a full body illustration later, but I have commitment issues so who knows how far this’ll go. That is to say, don’t expect any more of this or the other characters unless 1) my brain decides to torment me with more literal demons or 2) I, by some miracle, become a more productive person. Plus, Tumblr’s a new thing for me, and I don’t know what I’m doing with this yet other than posting art and then disappearing for years. Seriously, you have no idea. It’s a wonder that I posted for a second time.

Anyway, the direction of this design is pretty obvious. I went with the lamb/goat motif because I liked the idea of inverted/parallel symbolism. I was toying with a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” concept where they appear to be a lamb in this form but actually shift into a more wolf-like dragon sorta thing when prompted. Their wardrobe is supposed to be an extension of the innocent lamb deception as the ruffles and looseness are meant to be kinda reminiscent of fluff while communicating a sense of privilege (a white untainted by the grit of Hell… something that probably wouldn’t last long). I was also inspired by white goth and catholic goth aesthetics (I blame Ethel Cain) as well as those insanely beautiful ball-jointed dolls. I don’t know if I captured that well (to be honest, the more I look at those digital renditions, the more I hate them). I considered adding a pair of spectacles coz I thought it was cute lol, and because I thought it could be a way for them to try and seem more human.

If I were doing a rewrite (which I have ideas for, but I should probably focus on my actual original characters instead) then:

1. They would be agender and androgynous (I’d go the Good Omens route and make most angels/non-human entities largely genderless as gender is a human construction, one that most angels wouldn’t really concern themselves with)

2. They would be kinda elitist and naive but still sweet

3. Their intentions would not be entirely insincere, but they would not be acting without selfish goals

4. They would be an eldritch abomination

5. There would be possible exploration of their role as an antichrist as well as basically being a tool of war for their papa’s self-gratification

6. Their pops would suck

7. More horror

8. Like, it wouldn’t not be funny…but horror’s my genre so….

9. They would not suck at fighting, but death is traumatizing and so is being the cause of it (squeamish)

10. That being said, could make friends with Death??

And that’s all I feel like writing. Hopefully I update this lol

[iemconfused]

did this for spider-verse, doing it for the other thing fighting for position of my largest hyper fixation- some, definitely not all, of my favorite arcane bits/details (once again most if not all of these have been pointed out to me by other people or i’ve seen someplace on the internet, in the interest of giving credit where credit is due. and second disclaimer bc of the nature of arcane- i know nothing about league and have no interest in changing that lmao):

- obligatory viktor keeping the gear, the first thing to be touched by hextech

- sevika staying true to “we don’t hand over our people”

- in the little arcade space some of the little flippy target things on the punching machine look like mylo, especially the dead flipped over version. pretty sure there’s even a transition that goes directly from the dead target face to mylo

- jinx’s tear stains/running mascara always looks like IV (some people say backwards vi, some people say roman numeral for 4 aka ekko’s time machine limit. love it either way)

- when viktor’s face does the splitty thing it lowkey looks like ambessa’s mask a bit?? this is just one of my personal observations and it has like no weight to it at all lol

- the scientist we see that ambessa gets to try to crack hextech can be seen in the crowd at the memorial

- i’m an interior architecture major so i have to mention the art nouveau and art deco influences in everything, the classicism motifs too

- jinx’s face having 2 different animation rigs

- the hand drawn sequences with lower fps (ekko vs jinx on the bridge, caitlyn’s mom’s funeral, isha’s memories with jinx)

- the series starting with powder humming a tune, that same tune being used in numerous places throughout, and the series ending with vi humming that same tune

- ekko wearing the same mask being the firelights leader as he used to spy through in benzo’s shop

- ekko & powder on the disc at the start of s2e7 instead of jinx & vi

- jericho’s food stall is a lot more polished and clean in s2e7, also you can see guy who handled the shipping manifest in s1e4 hanging out there

- powder’s reflection in the clock in s2e7 being jinx. absolutely vile, thank you

- tbh just all of s2e7. but ESPECIALLY powder having all of the hextech crystals and saving the entire timeline

just like with my spider-verse details list, there’s so many that i inevitably missed bc i need to go through season 1 again. but i love this show with my whole heart, and it’s clear that everyone involved in its creation does too. it just overflows with passion. i know it’s probably possible to get this kind of feeling from live action stuff, but something about being animated makes it all the clearer. i pity the people who immediately write off animation as childish and miss out on this stuff.

Heyo, Alex Here!

(Recent edit: 01-28-25)

I'm an Asian-American artist who tends to hyper-fixate on things (it happens a lot I'm sorry-). I do a mix of multifandom/fanart and original work, but I hope you look forward to the art I make lol.

If you're interested in where to find me elsewhere, here's my Carrd.

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!! [3/5 Slots]

Note:

Since there isn't a way to switch primary accounts on Tumblr, all likes and follows from me are under @altbaake, which has mature content.

While I dont draw anything explicit, if you are a minor, please do not interact with me or any of my accts. There's a whole pinned message w/ reminders and warnings on there, but I thought I would mention it in the off chance of any confusion.

Current fixations: COTL

BLIND DEVOTION AU (COTL)

SOME BOUNDARIES I HAVE

My ask box & submissions are open, but please don't use them as a means to request art or send/say anything inappropriate.

Please don't DM me unless you are mutual, interested in commissioning me, or if I DM you first. If you are DMing me for a comm, you have to be 18+. I will not interact with minors, and I will check for your age on your account. If you don't meet any of these requirements, I will ignore your message, and if you persist to the point I feel uncomfortable, it will result in me blocking you.

I'd appreciate it if you don't repost, trace, or claim my work. If you like my work, please reshare it or leave a like instead.

In regards to Comic Dubs: If you would like to dub my comics, you're more than free to! All I ask is for you to credit me in your description or video. You can also tag me as well cause I would love to see it

I STRICTLY PROHIBIT my art being used for AI generation, NFTs, or any way that disrespects my work as an artist.

I have no tolerance for themes deem problematic or inappropriate. Fiction is fiction, but there's a line I draw. I will not dictate what you consume, I'll simply won't interact.

I draw the things I like and what I'm interested in. It's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea and that's fine! If you like the content I make, feel free to browse. If not, please don't be weird and hateful, and just move on. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to be a jerk and make others feel bad for enjoying things.

[aychama]

how the hell do you stay on task and not get distracted

im writing 2 fanfics for one au at the same time

i have 2 other au ideas

im currently making an animation instead of writing

NOT the animation I was doing that I haven't finished

im listen to Florence and the machine instead

what is happening

so how the hell do you keep doing the thing you're doing

like

long comics

help

TEACH ME

DID YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE ART DEMONS?????

Or do I just need ADHD meds?

Im so hyper fixated on my own idea that I physically cannot look another way.

Jokes aside I do procastinate while drawing, like searching for nothing, getting distracted by tiktok after I draw one (1) successful line.

Streaming it live actually helps so much because "oh god there is someone watching me I have to do this" mentality eats my brain djflfş

Thats why my streams take like 7 hours lmao, I cant just not make progress with people watching no way!

[affluent-havoc]

Okay. Since I'm going to bed real soon, I'll say that the 300 follower special is now over! Really was a lot of fun doing this, I cannot stress that enough! Also, I can safely say that I'll try and draw more Chihiro in the future. Mentioned before but like, I drew the little programmer basically 3 times which should say enough that there IS demand, not that I mind. Chihiro is rad as hell! Additionally, I'll be taking a day off to rest from the art. Prob will jump back in on the 14th. Maybe come up with some Valentine's Day art. Maybe not. The 15th though, I'll spill about it now. It'll be my birthday that day!! Woo for growing older. But, a warning to you all, I am probably going to go absolutely crazy. You'll all know when it happens but I mean it so much. Or well, I hope I can do that. I won't spill anything else though. One other I wanna say before I go to bed is yet another thanks to you all. It's kind of shocking in a way, looking back on past me making this blog on a whim, no goals, just doing it impulsively cus I already made some semblance of an account so I could freely look at fanart of my faves. And, look at me now. I'm making art, drawn so much Byakuya Togami that I've used around 20 different art styles alone just cus of him. Makes me proud in a way despite some of the cringe I made in the past. For real, it's almost been a year on Tumblr and I'm already cringing a bit at some older pieces, probably because I've learned so much on myself to the point that I legitimately feel changed in the way I look at characters, ship art, how I used to ship character which is another discussion I'll maybe bring up on my birthday since I do wanna yap about that a bit. But again, really, I thank you all and this experience. Dunno when it'll end or hell, if I'll return to Tumblr or anything or like, what the future holds. I'll be sure to cook up some good shit for a good few months though! That's about it tho. I dunno how to end this so just pretend I wrote something really cool here! Maybe something involving flamethrowers and makeshift gatling guns that can shot misses and explode into confetti ^v^ Edit (tho i've edited this a bit already but shhh): Despite this event being over, don't you all feel weird about asking me to draw stuff btw! It's fun as hell and. Maybe not like, right this minute. Like, wait a few days since I wanna rest my hands and be engulfed in my hyper fixations on my birthday on the 15th. Don't be shy though, whether in comments or asks! that's about it tho am going to bed now cus my right hand be warm and toasty with aches from typing and drawing too much today evne tho i prob should have stopped at the chihiro byakuya art today instead of drawing some personal oc art but oh well! goodbye

[ladysternchen]

You know, I'm quite glad that we're getting the fanon vs canon concerning Elu Thingol and the Sindar in general into focus a bit. When I first came to Tumblr, it felt to me as though I were just about the only one who cared about him (which of course was never the case, but I at least had no-one to talk to about my elf).

But there's a stale note to it- that it seems there must be more fighting, and hardened fronts, more never-ending discussions that always burn down to one thing- do we accept canon or not.

And really, I don't want to go down that road anymore. I really don't want to spend so much time quoting and explaining and re-reading to make sure I get my argumentation right only to have the other side say stuff like 'yeah, true, but I still get a different vibe so I'm gonna ignore canon and keep hating'

And while I really want to emphasise that there is nothing (!) whatsoever wrong with feeling a story, feeling characters and liking or disliking them (yes, happens to me, too. Canonically, Aredhel has done absolutely nothing wrong, and yet I really dislike her), basing actual character-bashing on these 'vibes' is a problem. Excluding people who defend their favourite characters with CANON from discussions. Making up yet more hateful fanon. Accusing people of certain political beliefs because they like the Sindar (and yeah, I did delete a lot of what I've written here. It just... this makes me so so is angry, but starting to insult people is not what I want for this post, so I deleted, and sat on my fingers until I was able to pick up civil tones again).

But I can't change it. I can't change what other people think, and who knows, maybe I'm no more right than they are. Maybe there is no right. Maybe we could accept that this fandom is vast enough for ALL OF US?

So dear fellow Sindar-stans, let's stop arguing and fill Tumblr instead with the content you want to see. Share your headcanons, write your fanfictions, draw and share your fan art.

Let's discuss it all, dive deep. Comment on the works you like, ask for things to be written. Yeah, I have an obsession with character death, I find grief and mourning an incredibly beautiful thing to write and read about, and as I kill off my favourite characters in general, Elu Thingol's death is my prime motive. (who would have guessed, ey? 🤣) And I'd love to read it from time to time, rather than always write it myself. But that is my very specific hyper fixation and understandably not everyone's cup of tea. But give me all those tender moments of love and friendship and loyalty. Give me the conversations between Elwë, Olwë and Elmo on the journey, give me Daeron's backstory, give me Mablung and Beleg standing unwavering behind their king. Give me drunk Elu and Melian and HER found family. Give me an insight into Nimloth's head. Give me loving reaper-like comics with Elurín and Eluréd and Námo Mandos. And hell, yes, all you talented artists out there, give me some spicy Elu and Melian, please? Give me an insight into all those tender moments. Give me the moment of their reunion, and please please please will anyone draw the moment that Elwë stumbled into Olwë's arms on legs that would not yet carry him (lol, ok, that's too specific. But I have that weird hc that Elves that are released from Mandos need some time to get accustomed to their body again, like a butterfly needs to dry after it emerges from its cocoon).

Ok, now I waffled enough, but will we try that, please? Spread some love instead of discord? That belongs to Bauglir after all.

[hasanawolf]

Does all this Mouthwashing art mean you will stop posting Tnmn? I really like MW but i’m still so deep into Tnmn =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)

No, I really want to continue my TNMN AU. There’s still so much I want to tell, I haven’t posted about Izaack and Francis’ first date, I haven’t posted the reason Francis lactates hehe, I wanna tell Francis’ story with Nacha, and I want to continue as well Max’s story with Mia and Angus, and specially tell all of Angus’ lore which I put SO MUCH thought into 🥹

Unfortunately my stupid ass brain works only with hyper fixations and lately the only thing that’s been on my mind has been Mouthwashing. But I don’t see myself overstaying my visit in this fandom. With all the OCEAN of drama that’s happening rn on Twitter, it’s been really harrowing for me, even if I haven’t really gotten any hate myself (knock on wood) or have engaged in arguments. Seeing other artists get hate for the FUCKING STUPIDEST REASONS is very discouraging. And every time *I* post something, I brace myself for any backlash. Checking comments in my art gives me anxiety, instead of, you know, looking forward to it. And I just… I’m starting to feel unmotivated to keep doing MW art.

I miss TNMN, I miss the wholesome fandom, I miss when all the drama I had to face was people asking about Afton in my Max/Mia art 🫠

So… I’ll check the list of the things I wanna draw for MW (which is not very long anyway), see if I still feel like drawing any of those, get those done, and then come back home ❤️‍🩹

Sorry, this was a little bit of a vent

ORIN IS THE DARK URGE’S DAUGHTER - HEADCANON

Lycoris and Orin

Alright guys. This one’s going to be a woosy. I do not like the Orin incest plot line. I hate it, in fact. And I also do not like the lack of proper connection between Orin and The Dark Urge. The Dark Urge lore itself is a bit plot-holey (I highly recommend reading this reddit thread by u/TheLaughingWolf to understand the rest of this rant, and supplementary, this one by u/Thelmageworks to become an Orin sympathizer.)

My point is - I love the Dark Urge’s grim past and uncontrollable urges. I don’t love the final version of their lore. So I fucking rewrote it for myself, and wanna share my hyper fixated art within this headcanon of mine, so I’m going to explain it. This headcanon is specifically written for my drow Durge - Lycoris, but I’m fine with people using it for their Durges with modification. It doesn’t make sense for the original Durge (Dragonborn). To reiterate - the incest made me uncomfortable and the lore felt incomplete so I rewrote it for myself — not trying to step on any toes. This somehow still contains incest because I made it up before finishing my Durge run and didn’t realize he was actually related to Bhaal, literally and not figuratively. But it’s less than what we have in canon. Let’s go.

I’m assuming you know the canon Durge lore and have read the reddit thread above.

1. The Durge (my Lycoris) is a Bhaalspawn born like other Bhaalspawns, in 1357 (a year before Bhaal’s death in 1358). Genetically, he is half his biological mother’s genes and half Bhaal’s genes (not a half drow because Bhaal’s race doesn’t change his spawn’s race because he’s a deity, not a human). However Bhaal’s essence duplicated itself in him, instead of splitting like it did with the other Bhaalspawn. This was part of Bhaal’s plan - he intended one of his spawns to be superior (like in canon - the Durge is made of his flesh). This also makes it so bhaal’s revival makes sense despite Lycoris being alive — he’s not holding any of his divinity as he has his own. He is raised outside the cult like canon Durge and joins later on.

Young Lycoris, pre-cult

2. When he joins the cult, later than his siblings, he quickly rises up in ranks and is revealed to be the superior Bhaalspawn. Lycoris is, like in canon, Bhaal’s favorite, and is also Bhaal’s stallion as said. But he does this “breeding” (which still sounds gross) outside of the cult, to further spread Bhaalspawn into the world. Sarevok sees this and because he thinks very highly of himself, wants his blood to mix with Lycoris’. He’s somewhat infatuated with his absolute vile sadism, and being the weirdo he is, wants to breed with him. Obviously can’t do that because they’re both male, so decides to breed his daughter, Helena with him. Here’s where I accidentally did incest again - Helena is technically Lycoris’ half-niece (Sarevok is his half-brother through Bhaal). This is in the 1450s-60s.

3. 1465 Orin is born out of Lycoris and Helena. Lycoris has always had somewhat of a soft spot for kids (as ritualistically murderous as he is, he doesn’t enjoy murdering kids for no reason like he does adults). He also had never stuck around and seen his spawn be born and exist. The second he sees her, he’s absolutely in love. She becomes the center of his universe. Classic evil evil father daughter where he’s a vile maniac and has no morals, except for loving his daughter to the moon and back. Helena, on the other hand, is quite cold to Orin from the get go. She loves her, but in a distant way. She knows loving a bhaalspawn child is useless, Lycoris does too, but doesn’t really care. Additionally, he loves her so deeply that his urges cannot get to her.

4. As per canon, Helena attacks Orin when she’s 7, causing her to make her first kill. Lycoris, though generally a very loving father, is also a murder cult leader, so he’s quite proud of her for this. From there on, he teaches Orin his ways, and watches her bloom into the absolute erratic maniac we know and love. He’s amused by her artistic approach to murder like a dad is amused at his child’s art - something Bhaal doesn’t necessarily approve of but tolerates (as Lycoris is his favorite).

Orin, Lycoris, and Helena. Orin is 14, Lycoris 98 (when Orin is born), Helena 35 (when she is killed by Orin).

5. Orin, as a child, loved her father very much, much more than her mother or grandfather, whom she respected more than loved. Their bond was beyond that of any bond seen within the cult. Sarevok, who was the reason she existed, thought this was completely unjust. Because he can’t let people be happy, he starts planting the seeds of envy and hatred in teenage Orin. That, combined with the competitive nature of the cult and the sheer amount of spoiling Lycoris subjected her to (he was a loving father but not necessarily a good parent with healthy boundaries - he never punished her, never said a mean word to her, never set any boundaries - she grew up thinking the world is her oyster.) resulted in her wanting all of his power for herself. She didn’t really want to kill him — she did love him deeply, but she was also very envious and her only coping mechanism with anything, ever, had always been murder. Lycoris welcomed this enthusiasm, and did not feel concerned about her threats of violence. He encouraged her to hunt him and murder him if she thought she could. He knew she couldn’t.

6. She couldn’t. Many, many times, she tried her hand at assassinating him, only getting slightly condescending constructive criticism in response. However finally, in 1492, she gained the upper hand on her father, almost killing him, but hesitating, and leaving him in his tadpole-amnesiac state we seem him as in the nautiloid. She deemed his love for her a weakness, and raised a bet that he would, as an amnesiac, resist his urges and become a weakling (be a decent person). She believed her existence had already been enough to debase his authority — he was not the Dark Urge that came to rise up the ranks and hold power that he was before. She was as powerful as him, if not more. Her oversight, of course, was that she was also as weak as him. She loved her father and could never kill him.

7. He remembers her now after getting his memories back, and he’s desperately searching for her (wants to turn her to redemption too). Because I made sure he’s nice to every single kid he meets (being a papa bear deep inside all along), Yenna is at camp and Orin kidnaps her. Because how dare you take my dad. Also to be extra mean to a Lycoris - you think you can replace me? Nope. I’ll steal that one too.

So that’s where that’s at. I haven’t gotten to the Orin boss fight in this run yet and so haven’t decided if I should give her a, potentially cheesy, redemption arc or if I should be absolutely vile to Lycoris and make him murder his baby girl. Haven’t decided yet 🤭

If you don’t like my silly angst headcanon please just scroll by, don’t be mean! <3 Thanks for reading this nerd shit if you did!
