❤️ Sharon Loves Her Loveable Idiot~ ❤️

Baby girl with her goofy ahh hubby <3

First of all, SEASON 27 WAS ANNOUNCED LETS FREAKIN’ GO BAYBEEE THE HYPE IS REAL 🎊🎉

Second, *opens hands* I present to you some more traditional fanart of Homer and Marge, I mean- Bob and Linda, I mean- Randy and Sharon from me. 

Got bored and felt like making a simple Sharandy sketch, because atp, I’ve come to terms that these two have successfully rotted my brain (srsly I have a problem send help). Apologies if this looks like dookie, I’m way better with pencil sketches than I’ll ever be with pen sketches. I have a little bit of a shaky hand, and I’m just nervous if I’ll accidentally mess it up, hence the crappy line art. But nothing too special or noteworthy, just these two goobers together bein’ sweet to each other and having a heart to heart moment. Smartass and dumbass together fr 💕

I’m sorry y’all but I don’t think anything can make me hate Sharon and Randy as characters and a couple. It’s annoying how people like to pretend that they don’t have nice moments together and take stuff out of context to disparage them. Hell, I forgot to mention this moment in my previous Valentine’s Day defense post about them, near the end of the End Of Obesity special, bro basically says to his wife, “I don’t want you to change who you are, and I love you just the way you are”. 

That scene was just pure and wholesome with the two just maturely talking about their problems. With proof of stuff like that existing, y’all can miss me with that, “ShArOn DeSeRvEs A nEw MaN aNd ShOuLd KiCk RaNdY tO tHe CuRb” mess. Like, nah, you cannot look me in the face and say that after watching that 💀🤚🏾

Another one of my online friends who also loves Sharandy has said this before, and I’ll repeat it here; “Sharon and Randy go through literally everything, both good and bad moments, yet still love each other in the end, and that’s all that matters”. Kindly stop labeling them with these cringy boomer-level, “I hate my wife/husband” stereotypes because that’s NOT them at all. Say what you want about Randy, he’s heavily flawed, but at least the mfer takes accountability for his actions, learns from his mistakes and screw-ups, and treats his woman with the respect she deserves. In a nutshell, Sharon deserves Randy, Randy deserves Sharon, Sharon and Randy deserve each other.

‘Nuff said.

❤️ 👫🏻 💙

So headcanons for Aerith and Zack! :D

THE BLORBOS 😭😭

Headcanon A:  realistic

Aerith:

She was only afraid of the sky because she hadn’t seen it until she was 7 and escaped the lab with Ifalna, and even then she only saw parts of it because of the plate. She grew to appreciate its beauty as she grew older, but the calamity (Jenova/Sephiroth/Meteor) that would fall from the sky and cause so much destruction was another reason to look up anxiously.

Zack:

Zack always had a hyper attention span, constantly darting back and forth between his focus points, but when it came to Aerith, he couldn’t focus on much else but her. She actively calmed his mind and nerves and he was enthralled.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Aerith:

Aerith absolutely has experience street racing in the slums, don’t ask me why I think this akdjdjd

Zack:

Funnily enough, Zack was lowkey NOT a dog person for a long time, but Angeal kept. Bringing in. Those fucking. Stray dogs. Yeah, Zack finally accepted his fellow puppers because of it.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Aerith:

Aerith wears a red jacket because her mother always wore red, and in a small way, Aerith pays tribute to her by donning the vivid color. She has a tendency to incorporate different colors into her wardrobe based on the various people whose memories are important to her.

Zack:

Zack was resistant to the J cells and clone experiments that Hojo tried because his mind was powered by his love for the people he cared for. It strengthened his will and kept his mind from the despair that could have made him an easier target for Jenova cell transformation. Aerith, Cloud, Angeal, Kunsel….hell even the memory of Sephiroth….all of them. Zack stayed afloat because he cherished them all.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

ZACK AND AERITH EXIST IN AT LEAST ONE OTHER AU WORLD AND HAVE THIS EXACTLY:

Plush updatessssss. I’ll be fully transparent research for funding/ timeline for the kickstarter will need to have some changes since I’m in the USA and I need to understand what tariffs mean for this. :’) I will see if I can get quotes and samples and have more updates soon now that the designs are done!

Have a lovely day everyone 🥀

CREATURE

I’m still plugging away at MoonShadow despite a few technical difficulties with my computer situation, which I hope to have rectified within the next few weeks.

Hopeful that the next chapter will be up mid week or this weekend at the latest. I’m sorry for the delays in updating lately, it’s not for lack of enthusiasm for the fic on my part.

In the meantime…I’m drawing consistently for the first time in…years, I guess…and really enjoying it. Maybe I’ll get good at it!

All the best and, as always, thanks for your patience.

LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU PUBLISH CARRIGAN STUFF. I WANT TO READ THE CARRIGAN STUFF.

OH GOD OK AUAUGHGHH

Actually. I think you asked me for a summary of her Deal several months ago. And, uh, I know it's taken forever, but here you go!

…This will get a bit complicated, but I'll start with the original incarnation.

Carrigan Grimm is, mechanically, a lv 14 pathfinder 2e forensic medicine investigator with the medic archetype + a smattering of rogue / thaumaturge. So, she's extremely good at healing, knowing things, investigating, sneaking, and finding weak points. Overall, she is "a prickly perfectionist with self-loathing issues up to her eyeballs. She's convinced that no one will like her, so she pushes them away to preempt the rejection. She loves the thrill of a medical challenge or the hunt for a monster, and has some distinct mad scientist tendencies, but they're more or less held in check by a deep sense of decency." (thanks, rp partner!)

Carrigan grew up in a city not-so-secretly ruled by aristocratic vampires, and was a normal human working in forensic science, specializing in autopsies. A body she was working on turned out to be not fully dead yet -- unbeknownst to her, he was in the process of becoming a vampire -- and his bite somehow turned her into a dhampir. After frantically trying to reverse it by self-amputating the fingers that were wounded in the attack, she had to face that she had become a dhampir permanently, and was closer than ever to the creatures that she loathed. She spent the next several years isolating herself, getting by as a back-alley doctor in the city's slums and drowning in self-hatred, until the day when an acquaintance asked her to look into the disappearance of a friend.

(begin campaign 1.)

Within a few months, she had honed her skills as a combat medic, killed a lot of bogeys, saved all the children of her city, and lost a close friend. She had also joined a secret order of vampire hunters called Lantern Hunters, who fight with magically summoned lantern-shaped flails that are specially suited to destroying vampires.

Carrigan didn't hate the work, and didn't hate the people she was working with, either. So, after the mission, she kept looking for new challenges and new mysteries to solve, new people to help -- anything to keep her moving.

(end campaign 1.)

Shortly after, the country was plunged into a civil war. She fought alongside the Lantern Hunters, against her homeland, at first, but got fed up with their reckless tactics and left to go monster hunting in the countryside with one of her companions for the next several years. It ended up being for the best, because the tide of the war eventually turned, and the Lantern Hunters themselves were hunted into near extinction.

(begin campaign 2.)

Fifteen years after her original mission, she was given a new one: find a dangerous artifact before it fell into the wrong hands. She spent months in enemy territory, found the artifact, had the artifact stolen by someone she thought of as a close friend, and ended up getting trapped in a city undergoing a diabolic invasion, where she and her companions spearheaded its liberation. For their deeds, they were given the opportunity to participate in the peace talks that ended the civil war, and offered roles on the Council that would replace the vampire aristocracy. Of the three, only Carrigan accepted, committing to spend two years in office.

(end campaign 2.)

At this point, she made the very difficult decision to leave the Lantern Hunters. Although they had given her purpose at a time in her life when she truly needed it, she knew that her new high-profile job could put the remaining members in significant danger, and, well… she no longer truly agreed with their ideology that all vampires deserved to be destroyed because they're vampires. Most of the vampires she'd met had been awful, wretched creatures that deserved to die, true -- but it was because of who they were as people. Vampirism had just given them the opportunity to become the monsters they had always wanted to be.

Close to the end of her council term, she was summoned by a mysterious figure for an unexpected mission -- investigate some small-town disappearances and deal with the malevolent force causing them. She was expecting familiar faces when she went to meet her companions, but there was an unexpected newcomer, sent by one of her fellow council members -- Victor, a young vampire who… shockingly, still seemed to have somewhat of a conscience, and a personality rather than a god complex.

She found him fascinating.

(In the meta, we decided to run a Halloween one-shot preview for the 3rd campaign featuring these characters, and invited another player to join us. They brought Victor, and what was planned to be a one-shot turned into a three-parter with a 12k word text rp thread.)

An explanation of Victor will come in another post.

After that mission, Carrigan and Victor were uncertain they would get to work together again, but they crossed paths and got to know each other enough that when the mysterious figure that had caused them to meet in the first place sent out a new summons for an important mission, he invited Victor directly, on the condition that Carrigan would share the blame for any potential problems arising from his involvement.

Meta story short, from there the game went on a ~ten-month hiatus where we switched campaigns to a prewritten adventure with different characters. Victor's player and I were desperate to keep RPing with these two dorks, but couldn't without making things unfair for the other players in the game.

So, we decided to switch to an alternate universe.

Victor started as the player character in my rp partner's playthrough of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, which they had a lot of fic for. I converted Carrigan (Alexandria) Grimm into a character that would fit in that world.

Alex Carrigan is a forensic pathologist from London who had, a couple months prior to the start of the rp, been attacked by what she was pretty sure was a vampire -- but all the evidence of the attack had disappeared, leaving her to appear completely delusional as she desperately tried to convey that he was still out there and still a danger to people. She lost two fingers and spent a month being involuntarily hospitalized for her "delusions," eventually starting to wonder if the attack may not have happened as she remembered it. Possibly worst of all, throughout the experience, she received no support from any of her former colleagues or the people she thought were her friends. So, the moment she was free, she bought a plane ticket for Los Angeles, with the intent of not looking back for as long as she could manage.

A month later, walking to the bar, she found a broken, bleeding body lying in an alleyway, and begrudgingly decided to take him home and patch him up as best she could, rather than potentially bankrupting him by calling an ambulance. Within a few minutes, though, his heart stopped -- but he didn't lose consciousness or seem at all concerned when she brought it up.

And that was how she met Victor and begrudgingly joined the Masquerade.

In the months since, they've gotten to know each other, fought fleshwarp monsters in the sewers together, defeated a powerful fleshcrafting vampire, and become best friends.

Alex has gotten a (highly illegal) job at a shady clinic, unwillingly become a ghoul (a semi-thralled superhuman who drank a vampire's blood), adopted a cat, and lost her appendix.

It means everything to Victor that he finally has a friend, and he's terrified of losing her. He has also started working at a local theatre and is starting to get to know his new coworkers. Surely nothing weird or supernatural will happen with them.
