#just realized i forgot to draw her necklace

[the-enby-bird]

A gal inspired by cyerce elegans, or the butterfly cyerce!

They are gorgeous little creatures, who art can never do justice. They're a type of nudibranch, or sea slug! They're absolutely stunning-- dare I say, more so than their colourful counterparts, cyerce nigricans! Fun fact about these little fools- they can just discard their cerata, the little leaf things, to create a diversion! They typically come in reds, browns, and yellows in order to camouflage with algae, however they are always partially transparent. Fabulous little beasts, aren't they?

Read my Yandere! Pierro longfics first ♪( ´▽｀)

Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ART—

*clears throat* Anyway, now that I finally have the time to properly sit down and comment on the fan art, I’ll do just that. Feedback will be in the tags and it will be unhinged. Once again, thank you so much to Aine for drawing this <3

happy pride everybody!! i made a redesign of the clone high characters (consider this a redesign of these designs as well)

EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT ABE'S BEARD!!!! SO THERE IT IS, THAT'S WHY IN THE CLOSE-UP IT'S NOT THERE, SORRY FOR THAT!!!

five hours of drawing and drawing for this... sigh...

below are headcanons and perhaps some explanations of the redesign⬇️ :>

Joan... it's hard to give her a headcanon about her sexuality but i think shes questioning!!

joan has a precious stone in her necklace, harriet gave it to her as a gift for her friendship!!!

her bracelet was given by frida (maybe harriet and frida like to give things to their friends idk)

and thats it !!

JFK!! hes bisexual lmfao!! for me, he started to question himself after the chapter where joan pretends to be a boy, and then in the present he already realized that... well, he liked both

I gave him a sweatshirt, since in most series, movies, etc, jocks wear them ;p

harriet!! she (like joan) is questioning her sexuality lmfao

i gave her a vest because... well, there's no explanation, I just thought it would look good on her

and yes, i made her a little chubbier because that's my headcanon lololo!!!!

confucius!! hes a transman and pansexual :)

not much to add beyond his slightly different clothes and hair

cleo... she is a lesbian, as I believe her relationships with men never worked out and were only for interest, while with frida it is different

my headcanon is that in the 2000's she used to straighten her hair, and nowadays she leaves it curly :3

abe... oh abe i love him!! (in season 3 he was meh sorry) he is a closet bisexual (he has a lot to think about) and uh has a weird friendship/enemies with topher

as you can see, he shares a bracelet with someone... but with who??🤔🤔

EDIT: OH GOD I JUST REMEMBERED THAT ABE HAS A RACCOON TAIL!!

FRIDA!!! shes a lesbian and (maybe) she is within the non-binary spectrum

I can't add much either, in the original image you can see that I changed her clothes a bit lfmao!! the paint stains on her pants are now patches, as I think she tore a lot of her pants because of her skateboard tricks

AND FINALLY THE LAST ONE... TOPHER!! hes gay (duh)

in the first season of the reboot he is in denial, in the new season I feel that he has more accepted his sexuality

I can't add much either hehe!! i just change his clothes and stuff

and yes, he shares a bracelet with abe :3 (they have been wearing that bracelet since before THAT, but they do not want to take it off)

and thats it😭😭

Nimona OC - Charlotte Swiftheart/Corova: A Coming Out Comic

We are in the final days before my vacation, so I’m very pleased with the fact that I’ve got this last page done. I just have one more illustration for this comic to do!

This is by far my favorite page I’ve done. I love the designs I gave my kids (technically Charlotte is the only one that’s mine but FHSDJKSSJ THEY’RE ALL MY KIDS). Ambrosius is wearing Bal’s jacket, thank you! And I accidentally managed to have Charlotte wearing the necklace that Nimona got her as a wedding present. Also I totally forgot the scruff Bal has but I didn’t realize until I was watching my Timelapse of the drawing and by then it was too late. So. Anyway.

This isn’t a scene I wrote about in the fic, but it’s definitely a canon convo the trio had!

First Page, Previous Page, Finale

Lovely tagged people:

HUMANIFIED DRAGON EGGS DESIGNS + Egg designs of the alive eggs :D

NOTES: I didn’t do the dead eggs egg designs, mainly cuz I forgot to / didn’t feel like it when I realized, and there wasn’t enough space unless I had them floating. I just added the egg designs for fun since I had lots of free space with the gegg design! They are also simple enough I thought it was fine to not do an egg design. Side note: the eggs would actually be about the same size as their human designs, their just very downsized to fit in the drawing ^^ (i imagine their about half as tall as the adults, or a bit taller, somewhere around there)

Headcanons below

HEADCANONS

they all have darker scales, and feathered bat wings. Sometimes the feather patterns or amount of feathers makes the wing shape appear different the triplets all have golden feathers dapper and Chayanne have white in their pupils, in my headcanons this signifies a connection to death (ie: angel of death (Phil), grim reaper (bad), being revived / undead, etc) all of the triplets have some black in their hair. Ramon’s black hair isn’t just for Spreen, but also for Bad, Leo and Dapper. His white hair streak is, though. Dapper and Trumpet have some diamond freckles / scales, even despite their small interactions with their respective parents who have a diamond theme. the triplets have matching checkerboard scarves / bandanas dapper and Ramon both have monocles richas has vitiligo Ramon has an apron he wears when messing with machinery, and there’s some redstone dust on it :D Each of the triplets also have brown hair, signifying their connections to eachother and also their respective parents i also yoinked that one headcanon that Chayanne put a black streak in his hair matching CellbitThere’s probably more but all else I can think of is: Tallulah has a necklace with a guitar pick on it. the pick has a flower design, and Wilbur made it for her! that’s all :D OH! Trumpet also has some blonde hair, for Sofia (even tho theyve never actually met.. but when i originally pictured his design i pictured blonde hair, and realized Sofia also had blonde hair, so i included that)

Watching and Dreaming Spoliers under read more!!!!!!!!!

Non spolier specific thoughts first. I cried four times, and I'm still sobbing. It's finished,totally finished, and I loved it. I don't care if there were maybe parts that could have been better, I loved it. This show has literally changed me, it's given me so much representation as a bi dominican who feels out of place in life. I will never ever forget this show. Thank you Dana. Now on to spoliers

They literally put in everything, idk how, but they did it. Collector turning good, no one dying (sort of), a fucking QUINCE, like everything was in there.

Belos got what he deserved, and the whole arc of Luz thinking she would be like Belos got resolved in I feel a really good way. The fact that she had to DIE to realize that is probably not great, but! She learned the lesson!

Speaking on who taught her the lesson, everything came back full circle with the Titan, and that made me really happy. We were teased about the heart for such a long time, and it was extremely useful in the storytelling.

EVERYONE WAS FANTASTIC AND THE ROLE THE PLAYED WAS BEAUTIFUL. Like, having everyone be the nightmares in the beginning? Chef kiss. Having them not really help the end fight and instead help everyone else becuase at the end of the day it's about Luz Eda and King? Also chef kiss.

I like, have so much I could fucking say about this fucking episode, but it's literally all word vomit. I just am so happy and sad and a bunch of emotions.

Everyone aged up was such a TREAT. Amity and her hair? It was literally that one drawing I forgot who did it. Luz with her necklace? Willow with her HAIR SHORT? HUNTER looking like CALEB? EVERYONE WITH A FUCKING FLAPJACK TATTOO????? I just, have no words to express my delight with how everyone looked, and the fact no one was split up, and Eda having her own school???? That is so on brand for her it's not even funny. I could say so much more about the fucking 5 mintues of extraneous they showed, but I'll probably just write a fanfic about it.

Also the ending? The real real end before it goes black? Everything was worth it for that.

[ells-core]

AYOOOOO

guess whose school year just ended >:D

After getting pretty good grades, and a shit ton of studying I deserve 6 weeks of partially being lazy and drawing.

Also, I made some OC Art with Krita today: her name is ✨Yeva ✨

I think I talked about them in the Cotl! discord server, but I never posted about her on Tumblr sooooo:

{[General OC information]}

Name: Yeva

Pronouns: She/her & They/them

Age: unkown

Species: they are a Jackalope !

{[OC Lore]}

Yeva was born into a small cult community in the dark woods. Their family was known for their unwavering devotion to the Bishop of death Narinder, and from a young age, Yeva was taught to revere the god as well.

As she grew up, Yeva was considerd a spiritual leader among their peers. For their devotion and leadership they recived a golden skull necklace.

After Nrinders betrayl, she refused to convert to the Bishop's cults. Now seen as nothing more than a heretic by their community cult, she was declared to be sacrificed to the Bishops. Managing to escape her once-loving community, they now wander the lands of the old faith; hoping to never become a Martyr.

Oh my god, the Art I made is actually a redraw of another image. I just realized I forgot to draw the god damm flowers. AHHHHHHHHHH

Underrated scenes from each ss book

These aren't all scenes and I think the flf section just turned into a highlight reel of things i love about flf but here.

TVD

The scene where Roma picks up tiny Alisa because she was climbing inside of his walls and she's like hey don't rip my shirt it's new :( when her shirt his very obviously extremely old.

Not a scene but just the fact that the White Flower's used to have a golden retriever named Tsarina.

Idk if it's underrated exactly but that scene where Rosalind waits for Juliette in her room for three hours to tell her about the monster attack hits me like a truck every time I remember it.

"What is a Montague? It sounds Italian."

The scene where Benedikt holds Tyler at gunpoint after he threatens Marshall because he knows Marshall wouldn't have had the impulse control to not shoot

Roma beating the shit out of Dimitri

Celia coming up with her fake backstory for a Communist meeting and saying, "My mother is dead. My father is dead to me."

Juliette calling Roma a "wet blanket"

Juliette taking responsibility for Celia when she accidentally knocked Amethyst out

OVE

Juliette Cai says healthcare for all

Alisa being mad at Roma because he hasn't taught her how to catch a knife

Marshall styling Juliette's hair

Juliette making fun of newsboy cap guy

The Marshall flashback to when he met Benedikt

Roma and Juliette getting tailed by the the French White Flower guy who ends up being one of the monsters and Roma saying idk maybe he thinks I'm hotter than you when Juliette asks him why the guy looks like he wants to kill Roma

Benedikt knocking Roma out before trying to kill Juliette because holy shit

When Alisa realizes that Roma agreed to a duel to get her back

When Rosalind had Roma at gunpoint

"I would rather the two of you not burn the world down each time you choose each other."

The paragraphs where Celia starts really being Celia are just so,,,

Somehow I forgot that Alisa was already officially a Communist spy in the OVE epilogue?

fhh spoilers

FLF

Celia forcing Rosalind out of bed to go to Lourens when she wanted to die

Orion calling Dao Feng "Old Man"

Rosalind immediately making tranquilizers right when Orion moves in because she doesn't want to put up with his shit

Silas writing and publishing a fucking op-ed at 14 immediately after getting home from London (iconic)

The implication that Silas has tried to confess to Phoebe before which I call bullshit on.

Not a scene but when Orion shows back up in the morning before their first day at Seagreen, I am convinced that the red stuff on his neck was blood not lipstick.

I NEED TO KNOW IF JIEMIN'S CROSS WAS A SIGN OF ALLEGIANCE TO PRIEST?????

"Who's stealing Silas from you? You're the notorious boyfriend stealer not me." because what exactly are we implying help-

Rosalind remembering hearing Silas's parents brag about him

Phoebe "spying" on Seagreen while she has Silas wait in the car

Lao Lao instantly adopting Orion

I think a lot of the olivercelia stuff in flf is a bit underrated because a lot of us were too busy being haters for a while but the necklace knife scene!

"My little ego can always stand being snapped at by you, sweetheart."

Oliver being really really freaked out in the warehouse hit different now that we have more context ughhhh

Orion thinking that his dad might have done something to his mom. What the fuck. And also being in that house with them alone for years jesus christ

Alisa covering her walls in drawings from Benedikt

Rosalind killing Zilin

Silas taking on Orion's assignments when his headaches were really bad

The fact that Lord and Lady Hong probably knew that Oliver was onto something when Orion told Lord Hong about Oliver breaking in

The cards that Zilin had in his pocket were a spade and a diamond (spade = aroace and diamond = demi)

Rosalind and Orion's argument after the Peach Lily Palace incident

Celia being like stfu Oliver (i like telling him what to do. teehee. aNYWAY)

Ik the nation over everything quote gets talked about a lot but I think people seem to forget how pissed Celia was after he said that. Because "You're so damn selfish. Have you ever stopped to consider that I value your life just as much? If you want to protect me, don't you think that I want to protect you, too?" And then the way that Oliver is absolutely baffled by this. Ack.

Rosalind flinching when Orion pretended to kiss her forehead towards the start of flf vs her casually noting it when he actually kissed her temple midway through flf

Alisa casually having Russian classic literature at her desk despite the fact that she probably stopped receiving formal school at about 13. Slay queen.

The domestic spat. I don't think we've talked about it in a bit I'm so disappointed in us.

Alisa seeing Rosalind and Dimitri together and never saying anything about it

Silas immediately hanging up when Lord Hong picked up when he was trying to call Phoebe

Also who were Gray and Archer??? I thought they were going to be important but oh well

"She doesn't bite." "Yes, I do." like geez ok Rosalind thank you for sharing

"Phoebe walked a small circle around the hospital corridor. Silas, his eyes tracking her absently, stood with his chin propped in one palm." Yeah ok.

Then the scene after Orion sees Rosalind's scars where they're both lying on her bed together and talk for a little bit. I don't know if it's underrated exactly, but I have a very clear image of it in my mind and it is very parallely and nice I like this scene

Alisa drinking orange juice out of a coffee mug. Why? Because.

Tiny detail but Orion telling Phoebe to stop answering the phone in English because he's afraid of gossip

Phoebe immediately going DO I GET TO SEDUCE PRETTY WOMAN???? when Orion tells her he needs her help and him being absolutely exhausted by her

"You warn me for control." "I don't need your warning." I want to kiss Rosalind on the mouth.

Ok sorry but I do not interpret the scene where Orion steals the Frenchwoman's necklace as him flirting with her I think he just put on a really exaggerated twink voice because it's funnier that way

Silas knocking out a guard by holding a cloth with sedatives to his face when he and Phoebe broke Alisa out of jail.

Also just Silas trying to signal to Alisa that he's totally definitely a double agent in the process of betraying everyone because Alisa knows that he's aligned with the Communists somehow while Phoebe is Priest is so insane.

Silas fixing Phoebe's hair then Phoebe noticing that he shifted maybe half and inch away from her going hmm no that's not allowed and shifting closer to him. Especially since there's not very much emotion in her internal monologue in flf since you're not really getting her pov you're just getting a front.

"Are you keeping any other secrets from me, Janie Mead?" "One. But I don't want to tell you yet."

Orion faking a nosebleed

"His proximity was supposed to be some sort of tactic to make her flustered, she guessed, but she was only concentrating on the fact that Orion had missed a sport right by his jaw." Rosalind you absolute genius (I am so obsessed with her)

Phoebe entering Silas's house then immediately going hihihihihihi pay attention to meeeeeeeeeee without telling him that she was planning on coming over

Probably not underrated but. "Phoebe's scowl was immediate, taken aback as to who was in his bedroom, but she realized seconds later that the voice was too grainy and distant to be a visitor." Just something about Phoebe not recognizing it as her own voice and being jealous of a part of herself that she doesn't really recognize as herself is just. so. ahhhh.

aDmIrAtIoN

Not underrated but. The scene where Rosalind is like. Orion put his head on my lap to annoy me. His hair looks dumb. I am going to yoink it. To bother him. Then just. Starts playing with his hair.

A random guy selling flowers seeing a boy and a girl in a car together and thinking ah yes. customers. then fearing for his life and running away after watching phoebe yoink Silas out of his car

Phoebe conning Silas into thinking she wanted him to drive her around so she could observe architecture. Damn he is easy to trick

"'Can't I convince you to partake in a different outing instead?' Silas pleaded. 'I'll buy you cake. Or pastries? You like pastries.' 'No! We have to do this.' Phoebe separated her clasped hands, clutching at her skirts instead. 'Do you want to watch me beg?' 'pHOEBE-' 'So help me, I'll get on my knees right in the middle of the street, and then you will have to answer for my virtue-' 'Fine, fine,' Silas hurried to say, unable to withstand her theatrics. There were two red blots deepening on his cheeks." .......................ok.

Alisa purposely freaking Silas out by telling him that he has to handle the explosives. Then they end up being firecrackers she bought from a middle schooler.

Phoebe making the 🥺🥺🥺 face and Silas covering her eyes

Alisa faking a middle aged man voice

Rosalind looking at Orion and being like hmm he's really pretty it kind of looks like he's wearing mascara. Anyway.

To be continued because I'm hitting the word limit oops

[rararazaquato]

Valentine, you're a

horse

(rain code pony au. design notes under the cut!)

just as a note, i haven't seen my little pony since i was like. 11. and also i don't think i watched beyond twilight becoming an alicorn. my knowledge of later seasons mostly comes from horsecomix. so if i say anything that contradicts the Horse Lore, sorry about that.

ok now for individual designs.

yuma is a unicorn, mostly because mystery labyrinths require him to be able to hold a sword and talk at the same time. in addition to his memories, he lost his cutie mark in the pact, so everyone who sees him is like "damn you're an amnesiac AND a blank flank? pick a struggle". he doesn't have any accessories by default, but he probably gets a little hat in the rain + his cape in the mystery labyrinth. he was the first pony i drew, so his face looks a little janky. i struggled with drawing the ponies from any angle other than a perfect sideview, and the snouts/mouths were the hardest parts by far. the front view i did for yuma was a bit easier than the 3/4 view i did for most of the cast, but it was still tougher than i expected. pony artists who mimic the style of the show have all of my respect.

shinigami's spirit form was changed a little bit, although it was already so abstracted compared to a real human that i didn't feel i needed to change much in order to make her fit into the pony universe. i just swapped her horns out for wings and gave her a horn. i also removed her thumbs and made her colors closer to her human (er, pony) form. she's no longer a "death god" in the traditional sense, now being the "princess of death" in the same way twilight is the princess of friendship or cadence is the princess of love. she was sealed away because she was shit at her job (just killed a fuckton of people for no reason) but anypony who stumbled across the book she was sealed in can make a contract w her just like in rain code canon. obvi this is a little dark for the actual mlp universe, they wouldn't be putting a trigger-happy murder princess in their rated y cartoon, but this is the same fanbase that made fuckin. cupcakes and rainbow factory and a whole slew of others that make the main characters of mlp infinitely more fucked up than canon shinigami ever was. so i feel like we can have a little suspension of disbelief here.

shinigami's true form is an alicorn, obvi. she's a god princess, she's gonna be an alicorn. i tried to refrain from giving the characters too many accessories to better mimic the simpler mane 6 designs, but shinigami looked so naked with just the crown. so she also got her flower and little necklace. i didn't even attempt to put her hair in braids, since drawing her face at that angle was such a challenge already. upon posting this, i also realize i forgot to give her a tail. just imagine any tail you want on her. pin the tail on the shinigami. her cutie mark has the same dark void effect as nightmare moon's, although i can't remember if luna also has it as well. regardless, it's a visual tie-in to nightmare moon, who has a similar "princess banished to an inanimate object" thing going on. the actual cutie mark itself is two bones, representing death in a cutesy cartoony fashion. i was gonna do a skull and crossbones but then i realized. no one knows what a human skull looks like. there's no people. and i am NOT about to draw a fucking horse skull. so, bones it is.

yakou is probably the one i'm proudest of! i feel like i really captured the essence of the background pony in him. i feel like i could see him hanging out with lyra heartstrings and dr. whooves and i wouldn't bat an eyelash. his hair is a little longer than in the original design but i think it looks cute so it's fine. his cutie mark is an umbrella because his calling as a detective leads him to protect others like an umbrella protects you from the rain, plus kanai ward has its whole Thing. and he can be kind of a gloomy person at times, very pessimistic. he's an earth pony because he's just a normal guy, no forte in canon and stuff like that.

makoto was probably the trickiest to actually design. the element of mystery is super important in the original character design, but he was able to still have some skin exposed since almost all of the character designs in that game have a skintone of "homestuck white". in mlp, where coat colors can be any color of the rainbow (and the colors outside of the rainbow), makoto would lose that element of mystery. so, while i generally try to avoid putting the ponies in clothes, makoto kind of needed them. he's got his full suit and a set of gloves and white shoes for his hooves. instead of being a sort of "paper plate" mask, he's got a rubber halloween mask that extends past his neck instead. don't ask how the mane comes out of the mask. we don't ask how canon makoto's mask stays on with no straps, so don't ask about this one. the mask goes over his horn, so it blocks out most powerful magic, but basic spells like levitation are still possible with a bit of effort. the pants of his suit hide his cutie mark, and when asked about what it is, he gives a different answer each time.

kurumi isn't a super complicated or in-depth design. just a cute lil earth pony with a cutie mark of a speech bubble, since she does a lot of information gathering via talking to others. in hindsight, i should've given her freckles in the same color as her body outline. imagine she has freckles please. thank you.

fubuki is the design where i actually got the courage to attempt a braid. no idea if it looks good, i didn't use a reference and my hair is too short to braid it myself. i wanted an earth pony in the core group of nda members, and i was sort of torn between her and desuhiko. however, i'm a personal believer in the "all ponies can use magic on some level" theory, and that theory posits that earth ponies have a tendency to be able to use the intrinsic magic of their planet in subtle ways. applejack can enhance her physical strength without really doing anything consciously, and most importantly, pinkie pie can bend the laws of reality for The Bit. i think time travel is kinda like bending the laws of reality for The Bit. plus, desuhiko's disguise ability is kinda like an illusion, which feels like more of a unicorn ability. her cutie mark is a clock. because. uh. you know.

desuhiko is a unicorn for reasons i mentioned in fubuki's notes. his backpack is worn like a saddle, but he can still use it to disguise himself like in rain code canon. his cutie mark is the bag with a star on it, hinting that there's a superstar (him) in the bag. not much to say about him other than that.

vivia is a pegasus. since his forte allows him to fly, it makes sense for him to be able to fly in his base form as well - he'd get used to the flight powers inherent to his ability a lot quicker if he could already do it. he's definitely more of a fluttershy than a rainbow dash in terms of how he uses his ability to fly. he prefers to walk, but if his legs get tired, he'll switch to flying for a little bit. but then both his legs and his wings get tired and he takes a little nap. that's what the pose is meant to be, altho it does look a bit like he's flying. his cutie mark is a disappearing flash shape, as his spirit form is invisible and he tends to disappear into the background in general. someone in the rain coat server told me he looks like stoney pony and i haven't been able to get that out of my mind.

halara was the last pony i drew, because i love them and wanted to get as much pony-drawing experience as i could before turning them into an equine. can't have my pookie bear looking like shit! they are also a pegasus, but not for forte reasons like vivia. rather, they just do impressive feats of athleticism on the reg, and i feel like they would be a great flyer as a result. imagine the scene where yuma calls for help while being detained by seth and the peacekeepers. a blue and purple bursts onto the scene from the fucking clouds and halara is divebombing the peacekeepers. that'd be sick as fuck. their cutie mark is an eye, because postcognition is all about sight.

erm ok thats everyone!!! i'm bad at pony names so if anyone has any ideas leave them in the comments or the tags ☺️

March version drawn by @estellardreams

With my tumblrversary (and new sona design 👀) coming tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to look back at all the different versions of my sona throughout the years!

July 2023 version

December 2023 Version

March 2024 Version

Closeups and breakdown under the cut! :D

Version 1! This was the original drawing of my sona that I made for a story I was writing with my friends wherein we ourselves were the main characters. This drawing has the same straight cut bangs that I had back then. I designed the dress to be simple and not overly flashy. It's supposed to be white with gold borders. Then we have the wings, which have always been my favorite part of my sona, the gold feather necklace, and the gold band hidden under my bangs which was supposed to act as a crown. I also hid my hands behind my back because I didn't want to draw them. XD This design was supposed to mimic my irl appearance and it did fairly good job! The only thing missing is my glasses from back then.

Version 2! This one was an updated take on the first version. My art style had changed a bit, so I wanted to draw a better looking picture of my sona. Other than the art style, not much has changed here. The design is still essentially exactly the same. My hair got longer though.

Version [????] I didn't include these in the history pic because I forgot them, but these were two iterations that I did in between version 2 and 3 for thumbnails on my YT channel. They're both once again trying to be an accurate representation off my irl appearance (though once again my glasses weren't included. The first one was an attempt at a chibi art style which I never did again. The second one sat unfinished in my sketchbook for a while before my cousin visited one day and offered to help me color it. We took a picture of it on her ipad and then traced and colored it in whatever drawing program she was using. I played around a bit with the shirt, making it a white into black gradient and brought back in the feather motif because I've always liked feathers. This one stayed my profile pic on yt for a long time.

Version 3! Massive skip in time and drawing style here! This one was designed specifically so I could have an updated sona for when I joined tumblr. (I planned getting my account for months before I finally worked up enough courage to actually do it.) Once again, I wanted this sona to be an accurate representation of what I look like irl. Though THIS time I'd finally gotten contacts so the lack of glasses finally made sense! I'd also gotten a new style of bangs so I incorporated that into the design as well. I brought back the feather as a necklace because I've always liked it. Though for whatever reason I got rid of the wings???? Why. Why did I do that. I love them so much! I shortened the length of my hair back to something closer to version 1 as well. And fun fact about this one! By this point I'd gotten decently good at drawing Sonic characters, so I used my knowledge of how to draw them to draw this version of my sona. XD I wasn't concerned anymore about drawing in a realistic way and leaned into a more cartoony artystyle.

Version 4! honestly, this one was just me wanting to do a Christmas version of my sona. XD Gave myself a cozy Christmas sweater and a Santa hat! I also took my favorite golden feather and tucked it behind my ear. I honestly really like how it looks! (I also messed up the shade of brown for my hair, but oh well.)

Version 5!! Estelle drew this for me and I still love it so much!!!!! I didn't request this of her, she just drew it! I mentioned in a post that I needed a new icon since it was MARCH and I was still using my Christmas pic. XD Next thing I know Estelle is kicking down my door asking me if I wanted her to draw me a new icon. I made sure to specifically request that she include my wings since I'd finally realized how dumb it was that I'd taken them out. But other than that, I let Estelle do what she wanted and I'm SO happy with how it came out!! I really wish I'd used this one for longer, but then April Fools came along and I hopped on the pointing Sonic icon bandwagon. XD But anyway, I'm still very happy and thankful to Estelle for drawing this for me. :D

Annnnnd that catches us up to the present! What will the new version look like? You'll have to wait for tomorrow. :D

[louwhose]

Link and Tetra because I'm obsessed with them right now but also I redesigned them because I felt like it. explanations under cut about my thoughts going into this design

Tetra: I got to that part where you find out she's descended from the royal line and got frustrated with her transformation. and after stewing about it for a while realized that it's not that she couldn't do a "princess" outfit she just doesn't work at all for the classical one they try to put her in it really just doesn't work for her so I decided to make it. the top itself is actually kinda cool and not that different from her own outfit so I let it stay but she absolutely needed the trousers instead of the skirt. she's a pirate she would absolutely keep the crown cuz TREASURE and also the belt but that one's also partially because it looks snazzy. the necklace is because it looks simpler and more suitable for tetra than the one with big beads that's the canon "zelda" design but also the king guy mentioned that she had a necklace she got from her mother that was part of the triforce and it might be the full triforce after that point but I still like that for her necklace and then sandals because it seemed the right mix of nice enough for the princess look and practical enough for tetra

Link: first of all he gets sandals too but his are close-toed partially because I love those and also because it's more practical for adventuring and I didn't want to draw toes any more. he also lost his sleeves because that just works better for the place they live and when he gets it he is less than thrilled about how hot it looks and he's 12 so you bet as soon as he left his grandma he took it off as soon as he could. the hat I forgot to draw but I wish I remembered to draw his bracelets from the beginning but forgot when I was on the lineart😭he gets freckles because I think they're cute please tell me you can see them I can't tell as I'm trying to post this but they're there. and strap for the sword because it makes sense and he's holding it the way I like to hold any strap I have going over my shoulder like that because it makes me feel cool

Here's some of Max's outfits in chapters of my fic "Ambivalence":

I haven't drawn in ages (in 2 years to be exact) and kinda gave up on it, but lately as I saw so many amazing artworks here, I got inspired to draw something myself!

Fanfic outfits seemed like a perfect warm-up,  I chose Max first cause she's ✨the main character✨, but what she was wearing was described the most (I also added her outfit from chap20 which I'm working on rn).

I forgot how much fun drawing was... and I might do more of this.

Here's single pics for more detail:

and fanfic excerpts describing the outfits if anyone cares:

CHAPTER 4: "[...]She pulled on a long-sleeved shirt with a geometric deer print and a warmer, dark grey hoodie on top of it. She went ahead with her plan and started to dress up in more layers. She ran her hands through her hair, and gave up on doing makeup, even though she knew how awful she looked after taking a look in the mirror, her dark circles under eyes even more prominent these days." CHAPTER 7: " As they were slowly pacing through the junkyard, Max could feel the icy, November wind. She was wearing all black today, black jeans, boots that she found deep in her closet, and a black coat borrowed from Chloe"

CHAPTER 15: "[...]She dressed up — her outfit was a white buttoned up shirt with a navy-blue skirt that went down to her knee. She looked down at herself and was so uncomfortable, it all felt too tight and too formal for her, reminded her of some kind school uniform she would hate to wear. She also took the oversized black coat borrowed from Chloe, just to have something over the top and not feel cold. [...] she couldn't bear looking at herself, she looked awful. Dark circles under her eyes from chronic lack of sleep, her bangs covering her eyes and hair overgrown to the point it almost reached her shoulders.[...]"

CHAPTER 18: "(the dress) was pale pink, reached below her knee, and didn't have any leg slits. It had short sleeves, because she didn't want showed off shoulders, and was plain, because she didn't want to draw much attention with lots of fabric and sparkly sequins. [...] She also had shoes of a matching color with a two inch heel, as anything higher than that she had tried on made her trip within the first step. She wore a thin silver chain necklace and a flower corsage on her wrist. [...] she took a look in the mirror and almost didn't recognize herself in the layers of makeup she had on her face. She never tried to do it before, because she was too self conscious about heavier makeup, and by heavier she meant what she had on right now, smoky eye shadow and a dusty pink lipstick."

"[...]She smiled at the thought, catching a glimpse of her expression it in the mirror. She realized she was wearing the same white shirt she had worn at the trial, but it didn't make her uncomfortable anymore, she paired it with black jeans and it surely felt more like her." CHAPTER 20: "November had already started and temperatures began to decrease, so Max pulled out a beige knitted sweater from her wardrobe, one she found in the boxes of things she didn't take to dorms. She wore it under her recently thrifted, oversized brown hoodie, and paired it with the usual blue jeans. She changed the black converse into a pair of brown boots to not get drenched in the puddles of rain."

Alistair Hammerlock headcanons dump to go with the Wainwright one I did :3

trans man, also has been on t for decades. no surgeries aside from a hysterectomy that was for several reasons.

can draw very well considering how many sketches he does of creatures and whatnot. don't ask him to color those sketches in, though.

pianist. i like assigning characters instruments and he feels like a guy who got taught it at a young age and never really forgot

pretentious about alcohol, though not to the extent of his husband

has hyperactive type adhd and autism. also has been medicated for the former for years. do not let him off meds or he will become a menace

doesn't like coffee, because it makes him sleepy, but also because of the taste. the only coffee he will ever drink is those starbucks syrupy abominations

fluent in french and scottish gaelic, but knows bits and bobs of many other languages. also knows a lot of latin (i am saying this as someone studying biology, a lot of that is taken from either latin or greek)

primarily a vestibular and auditory stimmer

quite stronk & muscular. due to the regular exercise and such. he could bridal carry wainwright without much effort

his mechanical eye has an additional mode where he basically gets a sort of partial night vision with it

bites into icecream popsicles

aries sun

highly pretentious about tea flavors also. what can i say he's a hermesian gentleman who loves his tea time. (later manages to rope wainwright into his daily teatime rituals, and it genuinely becomes a regular point of their day)

goes to bed early, wakes up early (unless he gets hit with his weakness: a certain edenian telling him to stay in bed a bit longer). somehow doesn't feel sleepy that much

the little spoon

genuine long time friend of moxxi's. back in the bl2 days, he'd often "keep peace" in her bar, so to speak. mopping up what was a rude patron's head a second ago and such

hunting besties with fl4k, to the point where they genuinely consider him their valued packmate

perfect gaydar. he can spot gay and trans people before they themselves realize they're queer. the one person he couldn't clock in time was wainwright, curiously enough

cigar smoker, but it's not an addiction situation by any means. sometimes a gentleman needs his vice yknow

has a ton of relationship experience. however all of his previous partners (except for mister torgue, who he's still on friendly terms with) are either dead or broke up with him

was taught fencing, and still knows how to. another thing he taught his husband how to do, and sometimes they have (quite homoerotic) duels

aside from doing all those taxidermies himself, sometimes he'll make other things out of the creatures he hunts - fur coats, teeth necklaces, lil carved ornaments, or just a nice meaty stew (he can cook pretty damn well)

an accomplished writer (by bl3)! he prefers typewriters as his tool of the trade because they go clicky clacky, have "impact" and aren't too hard on the eyes

I think the most intense moment I've ever had in skyrim was when I was about to do the diplomatic immunity quest with my previous dragonborn. I had given all of my gear to malborn, only to make the shocking realization that: 1. I had no clothing other than the gear I needed malborn to get into the embassy in my inventory 2. I didn't have katla's farm discovered so I had to do the walk of shame in my underwear all the way from the winking skeever. And, well, it doesn't matter, it's a video game, I'm not walking several miles barefoot in my underwear in real life. It's fine, what's the worst that could- I'm in the middle of talking to Delphine, when the dialogue box closes. "What was that?" she says, drawing her bow. I hear a roar. I look around to find a dragon's attacking. I quicksave harder and faster than I ever had in my life up until that point. I open my inventory to see if I have anything that I could use as a weapon, and all I had was an unenchanted, crappy little dagger that I must've accidentally picked up somewhere. So there I stood. Facing a dragon. No shoes. no pants. no hat, gloves, necklace, circlet- nothing. All I had was a couple of solitude guards, dunmer 50% immunity to fire, two essential npcs, a dagger, and plot protection. The dragon flew around, breathing fire onto everything. Y'know. regular dragon activities. Something a lot more harrowing when you're naked. All I could do was watch as everyone shot arrows at the beast, since I was an idiot and completely forgot that I could whip out sparks or flames.

Once the dragon landed, I came to it's side and began wailing on it with my dagger. Luckily, delphine and the guards were distracting it enough to not go after me. And then, it took off and flew, creating mayhem I couldn't do anything about once more.

After a few cycles of this, we took the beast down. Surprisingly, no casualties. The dragon turned into a skeleton, and I absorbed it's soul, as per usual.

and then I casually continued my conversation with delphine as if nothing ever happened, and proceeded through the quest as normal, receiving clothing, and proceeding upon my merry way to crash a party in order to learn the very surprising news that no, alduin is NOT two justiciars in a trench coat, which is information none of us saw coming.

so.... you wanna know the real kicker? after I got into the embassy I realized I knew oakflesh and bound sword. lots of that fight's challenge could've very easily been mitigated if I just didn't forget magic was a thing.

so. moral of the story is don't be silly and forget magic exists!

[narelleart]

I'm absolutely obsessed with my current D&D character which is great for D&D but it makes it hard to focus on work sometimes. I super need to write my thesis whoops.

So anyways let me tell you about my dumb clown son.

This is Pascal:

I've found a love for medival clown fashion design? Pascal likes to sew and designs his own costumes so I get to draw lots of fun clothes for him. He makes them all kind of modular so he can mix and match pieces and be dressed differently every day.

Here's some more of his outfits. This one was party wear, for a masquerade:

We recently got winter gear which he dismantled and turned into clowny stuff, so here's his winter outfit:

I forgot his necklace and didn't color the earring in the winter one, but I was slapping this together in a rush to be able to show my party what I did with the nice practical warm weather gear they bought for me. ^^;;

Odds are low my party will ever see this, but just in case - MASSIVE SPOILERS below the cut! Pascal's got hella secrets!

Pascal has spent his life as a clown to hide that he is actually a tiefling. He is the son of a half elf and the archdevil Levistus (though he has no idea who his dad is), so he claims he is a half elf and does all he can to hide his tiefling traits. His horns are very short and about the same color as his hair, so he can just tease his hair really big and/or wear a hat to hide those. His tail he binds to his leg then hides that under poofy shorts. Exposed white except for his face and ears in the above images is all fabric (long gloves and stockings), and his face and ears are covered in thick makeup. He's blue, actually.

-cut-

All party members gone? Good.

Like this:

My party has just arrived at our first major plot destination and it's turned out to be a place cursed by Levistus. The rest of the party has only had fairly vague allusions to this and doesn't know Levistus has anything to do with me (all they know is Pascal is a clown and probably a half elf or something). To be fair, it's not like Pascal knows he has anything to do with Levistus either.

(His secrets come in layers, so there's more to uncover down the line. 1. He's a tiefling. 2. His dad's Levistus. 3. His mother's curse is from her trying to break a pact with Levistus, which he was supposed to be the payment for - as a warrior for Levistus to do his bidding in the material plane.)

The party has been super nice and respectful of Pascal's quirks and dodginess (he will only sleep alone, in his own tent or a separate room; he doesn't eat in front of them; if he gets cuts he gets away from them and focuses on stitching up his clothes and ignores the bleeding). It's very sweet but it means they take zero bait to be nosy about what his deal is.

So my DM has checked with me about setting something up to expose his secrets in some way? I'm excited. 👀 Can't wait for the party to realize he's a liar. He's going to be so upset, it'll be great.

Pokémon Unown Legends Tale - Free Snippet Teaser... Meet Hop and Leon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the other side of town, there was another pair of family members visiting Unova. A pair of brothers, ages 23 and 17. The older of the brothers was looking through his phone with a cheerful look on his face. His little brother followed behind, also on his phone. He gripped onto the leash of his trusted Pokémon, Dubwool, keeping him close. The older brother suddenly spoke up.

“Hey, Hop, get a look at this! The Aether Foundation is supposedly sponsoring the Gym Challenge here in Unova!” He held his phone out, “How about we go watch? Maybe someone from the Aether Foundation would be willing to discuss…science-y things with you. Hell, maybe one of them has read your book!”

“Eh?” The younger brother raised his head sluggishly, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the news article his brother had opened. He rolled his eyes, “Someone at t'e Aether Foundation readin' my book? Hah! Yer gonna make me laugh for t'e first time in yer insufferable life, Lee.” He spoke with a hefty Irish accent, as opposed to his brother, whose accent was entirely Galarian. “I hadn't met one person who'd read my book ot'er t'an our friends in Galar, what makes ya think that someone in Unova's gonna recognize it?”

“Don't be so sure,” Leon chuckled a little, looking back at his phone. “The gym is on the other side of town, just at the local school. Let's drop by there, okay?”

“Sure, just boss me around why don't ya.” Hop scoffed.

Leon nervously laughed, “Rotom, take us to the Aspertia Pokémon School.” His Rotom phone began to light up, opening a map.

“If yer gonna be t'e one t' lead, knowin' ye, we'll somehow end up in Alola.” Hop grumbled under his breath. “And I'm not even exaggeratin'. I might as well replace ye with a newborn baby. I bet one of t'ose could navigate better t'an you.” He slumped forward in his stance, raising his uneven shoulders. “T'is is gonna be a long day.”

“Imagine how I feel!” Hop's Rotom phone scoffed, “I have to be stuck with BOTH of you morons.”

“Speak for yerself, ya hunk'a'junk!” Hop scolded.

“Hey!” Leon whined a little, “I'm actually using my map this time! Don't be like that.” His Rotom began to float away towards the destination, as he followed behind. Hop grabbed his flask from his back pocket as he began to walk. He glanced down at the necklace he wore, a Catholic cross, then down at his Dubwool. Hop took a swig of his flask, exhaling quite loudly after. Because he wasn't watching where he was going, he rammed right into his brother's back. He flinched back, glaring up at Leon as if it was his fault. Hop shoved past him and began to walk ahead of him. Leon watched in silence, sighing. He tried to pay his attitude no mind, but it was hard. He wanted his brother to be happy, but it's clear he's let himself go. Leon sighed again, closing his eyes briefly as the two crossed the street. They approached the school when Leon suddenly spotted a familiar face. “Kazarah!” He perked up, raising his arm to draw attention to himself. The woman turned her head first, smiling. The children around started squealing amongst themselves when they noticed the ex-champion of the Galar region there now too.

“My, if it isn't Leon and his brother Hop!” She turned her whole body to them both, Hop instantly averting eye contact with her. “Fancy seeing you two here, how are you doing?” Skylar noticed her mother was talking to someone, so she also looked. She gasped seeing the brothers, excitedly tapping her feet. Astrid also looked over, expressing a similar reaction, though in complete jaw-dropping silence. “I forgot you dyed your hair.” Kazarah pointed out the streaks in Leon’s hair. Leon chuckled a little as he smiled at the woman.

“We're doing pretty good!” Leon then had a sudden realization and grabbed his brother's arm. “Right, Hop! I've never introduced you!” He motioned to the woman, “This is Kazarah Valks! She's part of the Aether Foundation. She’s helped me a lot when I was champion. And this is her daughter, Skylar! She has been the Alola Champion for the past three years! You two are the same age, I think.”

“It's an honor to meet the both of you!” Skylar squealed, “Ex-Champion Leon Callaghan!! You– You were my hero growing up! Well, besides my mom of course.” Hop rolled his eyes, not wanting to listen to a girl he didn't know babble about how great his brother is. He reached for his hearing aids with the intent of taking them out to distance himself from the conversation, Skylar spoke again. “And– And Hop Walten! You've always been such an impressive battler! And your book! Oh, your book!” Hop lowered his hand, now focused on Skylar. His mouth began to open, “I've probably read it a dozen times! You're a genius!” Astrid frowned. Who reads for fun? Blegh.

Leon smirked, “Told ya, lil bro.” He chuckled a little.
