[knifegremliin]

god it's so nice to be doing art again

[inu-jiru]

Jazz's "Apology Tour" ramble

Episode was trash, let's go.

First off, the whole "Fuck Blitzo" party is so stupid to me, like you're telling me this 30-something year old man had intimate relationships with ALL these demons and HE was the sole thing that ruined ALL of them?

And how did Verosika even find out about Stolas? Like I know Ozzie's happened, but how'd she hear about their "breakup" (they weren't together but whatever, show)?

Why the FUCK does Verosika care about Stolas being an uwu sad victim of mean old Blitzo aside from everyone being written to want to huff Stolas' sad boi farts?

Why is no one trying to kill Stolas like in Loo Loo Land, like suddenly we're just cool with the oppressive racist now (who am I kidding, the rank system doesn't exist anymore unless the "meanie supremacist" characters bring it up I guess)?

Don't think I'm trying to be "Blitzo's#1Bitch69" or anything, but Season 2 is just so gross in how they've written him. Either he's the big bully meanie for hating his abuser, or they've had him commit the most out of pocket atrocities (like possibly SAing Stolas since he was technically drunk or the circus incident or the shit he pulled with Verosika because what the fuck kinda trauma makes you steal someone credit card for horse riding lessons???) that they just gloss over because fuck having Blitzo actually progress normally or Stolas taking actual responsibility for his own actions, let's just speed through everything so it's back to Stolitz City, don't think about the implications. I just can't stand itttt, I still like and pity Blitz to an extent but his writing is killing meeee

Stolas, stop whimpering about being wanted YOU HAVE A KID WHO HAS STILL NOT APPEARED SINCE SEEING STARS WHERE IS SHE?

Am I really hearing that people are hating the dude flirting with Stolas like come on yall STOLITZ IS NOT OFFICIAL YET CHILL

I've honestly started skipping through episodes, like I can't fucking listen to "WAHHHHH BLITZO I WANT YOU TO WANT ME" for the millionth time, I wish this episode could've just been Blitzo and Verosika facing their issues or something I just don't wanna see this owl loser act like a victim anymoreeee

Man really said "when have I ever been condescending?" SEASON ONE???? How about every time you grab his face and call him out of his name and watch him be shot at while demanding he come over one a month? Oh, but when Blitz starts doing it back it's "Oh I'm uncomfortable ooOoOoo stop it Blitz hnnghhh I don't like it :C :C :C", like whatever man.

The Striker comment was dumb and wrong but that's because Stolas is dumb and wrong

Honestly I feel like I'm repeating the same points I and others have made in the past so all imma say is, I hope Octavia and Stella are enjoying their off-screen and better written adventures together. I'm gonna draw some AU stuff now to give my eyes something better to look at.

OH I forgot to talk about Verosika, uh, she was there? I honestly think she should just get over herself at this point, idk when she and Blitz broke up but what the fuck is it about this clown that she was so enamored over where she's this hurt? I can get being mad about her credit card and Blitz being a lazy partner but if that's the case, I fail to see how they got to a point where she got his name tatted on her arm. Idk it's weird

The Mayweather shit or whatever her name is was pointless and made no sense, like "I want you to kill this woman who made me attempt to kill her and myself but now we're dating" like? Hey Vivzie if yall can callback to that why can't yall call back to Stolas being a creep huh?

EDIT: They really made that fuckass "it's hell" excuse canon, huh? Like, it doesn't even make sense in the context of Blitz saying that, like people say "it's hell" because Biblically speaking, it's where those who truly oppose God in order to live a life of wickedness go as just punishment. Blitz the equivalent of a regular guy in Hell unlike the Hazbin characters, he shouldn't understand that there's a better alternative to Hell because he's not human and never had any opportunity to learn about Heaven or God (unless it's just in their DNA or something idk who knows with this show)

[alllgator-blood]

Hey random question but how old is your Aym and Baal? I possibly might do a lambswap thing with ur Nari and I wanna add like a lil bonus thing with my lamb and your Aym ( for some context my lamb and my version of Aym are in a relationship and both in their 20s ) but since Aym and Baals age differs wildly from artist to artist idk if yours are like teenagers or not

Btw I love ur art!

AHHHH THAT SOUNDS SO COOL WTF, I can never figure out how old I want aym and baal to be cause in the game it's implied they died as children but are huge lads when you see them, so I could never figure out how the aging process worked since they're in purgatory. I draw + write them as young adults, so they're not kids or teens dw! The ages might vary based on like when in the timeline I'm drawing them but as of the events of the game they're young adults

I actually *just* commented on a swap comic and am gonna try and draw something silly back for any art I get, might take a while because I'm determined to get my angst comic done by the 23rd? But I kept seeing the swap art popping up on my dash and thinking it was really cool, I have NO IDEA why anyone would willingly subject their characters to my narinder but it's so fucking funny to me and I'm excited to see whatever you had in mind!

[fangirltothefullest]

"I read some of the reblogs/tags from the proshipping post and one has got me thinking especially about the fictional minors, and certain restrictions like US not allow depictions of it. I get why this is a heated topic; but the moral responsibility should not be placed on the creators and the other people who enjoy in a fictional setting. I know that there will be really sick people who will use media as an excuse to do to certain heinous actions (like Fight Club) but i do think that is on those members of thr audience and not on the creator and those who are sensible enough not to that. There are so many things i wish i can articulate this better but i do hope that my words are enough. Let me know if you are alright discussing this with them or if you want me to stop."

i just get so tired because like.... i personally don't like that there are people who feel the need to write certain things or draw certain things and sometimes I wonder if the people who do write it need to go to therapy because maybe there's something that they could get help with.

But it sucks because like.... the moment you start policing what people write about it becomes an easy slope of "well EVERYTHING should be puritanical and censored to spare this group and that group" and suddenly it's an excuse to censor everything people consider even mildly "wrong". It's how "degenerates" are made out of homosexual and transgender people, how books are banned for talking about science, how even the most mundane of things we take for granted can so easily be labelled as "taboo" and banned.

There's so much bad that comes from censoring. If we just learned to be like you know what? There are more important things to think about than what random people online are writing about with fictional characters.

There's a reason this topic is heated and it makes sense but the whole point of the post was just to get people to think about the idea that instead of spending all day going "hey this person ships incest block them! Hate them! Send them hateful messages! Tell everyone you know to shun the beast!" it would save you so much energy and time to just.... walk away from this fictional thing you don't have to partake in. literally that's all.

But as usual it always devolves into whether people should get to draw fictional kids fucking or whatever because for some reason it's all or nothing for people.

I think the question for that post shouldn't be whether it's ok but whether we should not be dicks to the people who are like "dude if you wanna write about something I'm uncomfortable with, I'm just gonna hit da bricks"

[medford-oregoppenheimer]

I hated my old intro post. Or maybe I just forgot that it existed. So let's just get to the point here, shall we?

Hey you guys, it's me Medford. 8th biggest city in Oregon, seat of Jackson County (take THAT, Jacksonville!), and the crown jewel of Southern Oregon's natural beauty. Yes, I'm more than just crime, trains, and Jacksonville's bully. Or whatever the hell you guys have been saying about me.

Only they/them for in-character, but she/her is ok for mod

DO NOT MAKE KYS JOKES WITH ME. Ever.

DNI: the typical stuff, any type of discrimination, nazis, fascists, radqueers, radfems, pedophiles and maps, terfs, anti-endos, proshitters, donation asks, hate anons, TCC, one of those Hitler stan accounts, people who are really just here to make fun of the whole gimmickverse concept or the way I act, or people who want to make fun of my friends (you do NOT just get to do that), literally get the fuck out because Medford don't wanna deal with you. holy shit that was a lot

ALSO: DNI if you're into D4DJ, Pretty Cure, Oshi no Ko, or Mori Calliope; are an active Redditor; romanticize tsundere or yandere (please don't ask about any of these, you will get blocked)

oh yeah also under 13s please DNI and maybe consider getting off social media and trying to enjoy real life, there's a reason COPPA is a thing

Now that we've gotten that whole exhaustive list out of the way here are a few things you should know.

I often joke around a lot and I enjoy teasing people so if you don't want me to do when talking to you PLEASE let me know

The following phrases are all said as a joke because it's part of the persona and stuff:

"It's not like [whatever] or anything"

"I hate you"

"Don't get the wrong idea"

"Don't tell anyone I said that"

"You hear me?!"

Anything to do with that one fake chain post I made

And probably a lot more so if you see something I say often that sounds like a joke then let me know.

I don't do donation asks. Or picrews because that's for my main blog if you ever find it. Also please don't tag me in chain posts, or at least not on this blog, I know you guys mean well and all but really it means nothing but a bunch of words meaning to scare others into believing they're so dead if they don't repost those stories.

ALSO stop with the whole "moody brat" jokes. I don't mind teasing and stuff but we're gonna draw the line there. Only I can call myself that.

Anyhoo here's the relationships and stuff

@raleigh-nc-official-totally-real sibling city on the other side of the US

@certainly-eugene that one friend with a trashy flag

@the-state-of-georgia-official friend and idol

@maryland-officially and @ohio-thestate idols

@buffalony-official #1 best rival :)

And yeah that's pretty much all there is to say. I can't imagine anyone who would read through all this, but if you did then I guess you're kind of cool. But don't get the wrong idea, okay?! Because it's not like I care or anything! Seriously!

Well, why are you still here? Stop looking at me like that!!

starter one: (2nd one I made + still working on)

They use walkie talkies the communicate *FIFI RUNNING THRU THE HALLS OF HER SCHOOL* Hey- I'm Fiona or fifi- whatever u wanna call me. For the past few months I've been having this recurring dream, or simalar to that.. Cut to fifi panting, crying and bleeding a lot from the side of she stomach, running in a hellish realm from a multiple runners going to some massive treehouse and she climbs a ladder and axel rolls up the ladder, and fifi pressing a button and collapse shaking

Cut back to Fifi, running into her class "your late miss Weech." Fifi looks up "sorry Mr mordini" she mumbles

starter 2: (og one)

Fifi was looking thru her dad's stuff and saw some "fun" looking horror game that was shoved way way way in the back1-2 (axel and fifi) people are playing a game, then the game glitches and the game like sucks them in.they were playing some horror game where you had necklaces/ bracelets/earrings rings that they found then they had some type of power (but didn't know||powers:, water,fire,air,earth,flying, manipulate gravity,super speed, instant healing, able to shield Able to manipulate blood, shrink/grow is size, teleport abe to see into the future by a.little bit, lightning yk?) and so they kinda just walked around for a bit and then saw something glowing..it was a crimson shade of red..like blood.. axel grabbed it and looked at it then hesitantly but it on, then continued walking it was really dare,, they came across this neighborhood/ghost town and a whole bunch of houses were like decaying and they walked in, hoping to find stuff,they ended up finding some water, a backpack and a couple flashlights +batteries.. and a ring that had a dark green gem..then l of a sudden they hear EXTREMELY loud screeching and they remember it from the game they the began to run out the house but screeching got louder and louder to they ran the opposite way, but there was no way out so they had to kill the creature (it's a black creature that's completely black and has like a really open mouth andna head that's tilted back, a massive eye on their chest and in the same pllace on their back, really tall massive claws, they r called runners/screechers, then there are other ones that can fly at really high speeds r called flyers) they didn't know how so they just ran and ran, until axel fel...Fifi pulled axel and help him up..but it was too late and the monster lunged at them then the crouchd and covered themselves, then hears some running and then a loud screach,. They looks up and say a trio, one has black, really curly hair, one has a bit with bleached hair and one with browns hair and some hair dye, the one with h dyed hair has black goop on her hand she shirt, then the one with curly blkack hair ran to them

And I drew both comics a bit both have I think 3 panels :p

The Red Devil's Chronicles - Devil May Cry News Updates Dec. 2024 & Jan. 2025: Netflix, Sculpts, Crossovers, etc.

Hey, how's it going? Happy New Year! Hope your holidays and New Years went well. Here are the latest Devil May Cry news updates I've gathered:

1. The songs Bury The Light and Devil Trigger were temporarily pulled from Spotify and Youtube, and have been replaced with cheap, AI-generated images and cover songs of them. b) Capcom's reply about the matter. c) Luckily, this issue has been partially resolved.

2. Zbrush Central has made a DMC3 Dante sculpt. b) DevilnessToys made a Vergil sculpt.

3. Capcom’s New Years art doesn’t feature Devil May Cry this time. But they mention it in their status about continuing to support it.

4. Rumours of Devil May Cry appearing in Fortnite are circulating greatly.

5. A sneak peek at Dante and Vergil in a mobile game called Punishing Gray Raven.

6. Johnny Long is making a fan film.

7. One of the Capcom stores has a new Dante stand as part of their decor.

8. The Netflix series has an official release date and intro shared.

9. Another Devil May Cry-like indie game has been announced called Kijutsu Rider.

My Thoughts On These Updates:

It's really too bad what happened to Casey and other musicians of the Devil May Cry series. Glad the issue partially got resolved. There's still a ways to go, though. I've even been having Spotify issues myself where certain songs won't even show up for me anymore.

2. Those statues don't look too bad. It's cool how these smaller industries and artists have been coming up with more custom sculptures of fictional characters for either their own enjoyment, or through commissions, etc.

3. It's nice Capcom still acknowledges that Devil May Cry is one of their top games. But knowing people's mindsets nowadays where they would think of the worst scenarios, or criticize every tiny thing, or complain so much, it's hard to say if Capcom considers that kind of stuff people say as a way of supporting it at all. Let's just hope for the best and be grateful with whatever small things we're getting out of it lately (ie. the mobile game stuff, Netflix series, etc.).

4. I'm not a fan of Fortnite, but a part of me wouldn't be surprised if this eventually did become a thing. Especially with the amount of stuff they have on there already from clips and announcements I've been seeing all over. If it ever does happen though, I wouldn't mind seeing some clips and such.

5. It's interesting how many of these mobile games are doing Devil May Cry crossovers.

6. I remember getting excited about this one fan film in the past called The Tears of Sparda. Too bad it got cancelled. Sins Remembered was a horrible one. The Resident Evil crossover one was cool despite some flaws when it comes to character interaction and such. Curious of how Johnny's is gonna turn out.

7. So about Dante not appearing in the New Years image...At least we have this new image of him from them, heheheh.

8. My mind's drawing a blank on all the good things I really wanna say about this whole Netflix thing. But I do have some bad things to say in regards to the so-called "fans" of Devil May Cry who are "criticizing" it... There are a few things I can't stand in this world...Politics/political talk, disrespect, manipulation, narcicissm, entitlement, complaining, and judgmental mindsets. And those are mostly what I'm seeing pop up a lot in my Twitter/X feed (and a bit of Reddit and Facebook). Yeah, it ain't an official Devil May Cry thing, and it ain't Devil May Cry 6. But at least be grateful with what we've got, and learn to take chances, and look before you leap. It ain't the end of the world. And people should really learn to keep their political BS and rumours out of this whole thing. "We're just giving our criticism, chill. Nothing wrong with that". NO!!! Whatever you're saying and doing isn't criticism at all! STFU! (I'm really sorry, end rant.) Now the good things. Like I said, my mind's drawing a blank 'cause of how excited (and slow) I am. But I can say that out of all these Devil May Cry songs available on my bingo card, Limp Bizkit wasn't on there for song choices to use for the opening, lol. But it's fitting 'cause most people have these headcanons of Dante listening to something like that as his teen and young adult self. And it's supposed to take place in the 90s to early 2000s, and it pays a tribute to us millennials growing up with this kind of stuff (that includes Devil May Cry, heheheh). What's cool, too is that Adi's having people show their edits on what songs they think would've fit it. And I participate.

9. I know it's not really Devil May Cry for what I've shared there, but the gameplay and red colours of the main character reminded me of it. Plus I figured I'd try spreading this game around to promote the team behind it in a way. It's amazing what indie devs nowadays can do.

[actuallycassidyiambusy]

Hi there!

Are you proship? Just curious, no hate /gen

On that note, how/ why did you choose that stance and what're your thoughts on those of the opposite spectrum?

Hi😁

Okay, so here's the thing. I am absolutely, undeniably, both feet in the water, proship. I don't give a fuck what people are into when it comes to fiction. I really don't. Because it's fiction. It's fake. I'm not gonna get all bent out of shape because people play with their dolls differently than I do. That's a waste of energy.

Huge age gap? Fuck yeah, dude.

Monster fucking/humanxbeast ships? Fuckin BET.

Toxic relationship where they're both obsessed? 🔥

Cannibal/vamp/killer ship tropes? I'M HOOKED.

One sided/stalking/kidnapping ships? Abso-fuckin-lutely.

Pet play ships? Hell yeah, brother.

Incest ships? Not really my cup of cocoa, but hey, you do you, dude. It's not hurting me any.

Priest fuckers? And demon/priest ships? Can't get enough of that shit.

Self shippers? Hell fuckin yeah, you get that fictional character's attention, baby.

I could literally keep going, but I'm sure you get the point. In my opinion, people can ship whatever they want as long as they aren't hurting or harassing real people. Do I count antis getting triggered over a drawing or fic as hurt? Nah. I'm talking physical/emotional harm or relentless harassment. You know, the shit antis do to US. From what I've seen, proshippers just wanna play with their toys without some anti coming and kicking over their sandcastle because it's not the way THEY would have built it.

As far as people who prefer to stay away from the proships, that's okay. It's okay not to enjoy something. It's okay to see something and be like "Eh. Not for me." But that's it. That's where it should stop.

What I'm not okay with, and I've said it before, is the pointless attacks and the superiority complexes. The people who feel the need to pound their opinions into your head. These certain people who get offended by proship and think the whole world has to stop and filter/censor themselves for their benefit. I'm not gonna cradle someone who feels the need to cry and complain about lines on paper.

You don't like something? I can respect that. Move on. But leave people alone for fuck's sake. You know what I mean? What is the fucking point of going on someone else's post and telling them to hurt or kill themselves? What's the point of seeing someone's work and instead of scrolling past like an adult, they write some huge paragraph as to why we're going to hell and they're better than us in every way? The same goes for proshippers who attack other proshippers. I don't get it. The name calling, the fucking one sided dick measuring contests, the holier than thou mindsets. Over a drawing or a fic? Really? C'mon.

There are ships out there I really just don't like, but damn I can appreciate some good ass art when I see it. I won't seek out a fic on a ship I don't like just so I can leave some shitty comment. I will never be some anti screaming into the void of the fucking internet because someone drew or wrote about a problematic ship. I don't like to argue about this stuff, but I will defend myself and I will defend other people who just wanna play pretend.

Something antis need to understand is "DNI" works both ways. Don't like it? Don't interact with it then. Plain and simple.

[paintbrushnebula]

Listed below are some Spiderverse hot takes/controversial opinions I have that'd id like to ramble about

I wish Gwen and Pavitr were overweight. Like midsized. I'm very happy we got a heavier *young* girl on the team with Margo at least, but I'd like there to be a heavy *young* guy. I noticed that Pav is certainly not as petite as Miles is, but that's more of a flex for how skinny Miles is, it's not really saying that Pavitr is chubby. And Gwen, idk I always just draw her as heavier. It just suits her better and again we need more mainstream skinny x fat/overweight ships. I've never drawn Pav yet but if I happen to I'm drawing him heavier too. 

I don't think Miles and Gwen were about to kiss before Rio interrupted them at the water tower. Everyone thinks this was what the scene was trying to implybutI don't think that's what would've happened at all. The camera was zooming in and the two of them were getting dangerously close to each other, they were definitely going to get more intimate, Miles was definitely looking at her lips and thinking of sssssomething, but they were not gonna KISS. They would've gotten real close and quiet, maybe held hands, then realize what they're doing and then break apart all awkward and embarrassed. And like, it's not just that i don't think the scene leading up to a kiss, I don't want that to have been the case. It's shallow, these two were SO not there yet. Gwen was not even fully in love with Miles yet. "But they're teenagers that's just normal teen friskyness, man 🤷‍♂️" Yeah I know, I've watched teen romcoms. We don't need to apply all the cliches to Ghostflower. 

Not a huge fan of whenever people write Miles and Miguel becoming like a sweet, surrogate son and father dynamic post-BTSV. If you want your found family tropes and you wanna give Miles a secondary daddy besides. his actual daddy, Peter B is right there 🤷‍♂️. Yeah I know ATSV wrecked their relationship but idk I personally headcanoned a whole mini arc for them to reconcile in my mind that I love, it's easy. Just play with the potential drama that's already sitting there. 

Ok so. This is more of a complaint against like, the original conception of the character, obviously there's nothing the movies could do about it. But. I don't like the name Miles very much. Idk i...do y'all ever love a fictional character and then like, pay close attention to their name, and go "hey uh, I actually don't think that name suits the character." Naming a character is like a whole process for me, I take character names very seriously. The name "Miles" just sounds too...unsentimental. Like they (Miles' original creators) wanted to name him something cool and hip. I just. Idk! I feel like he should've been named something else. Certainly nothing generic, but something more personal or meaningful, at least cute! I mean like at this point I'm used to the name and it's like, whatever, doesn't change anything for me. But still it's just a gripe I have. Idk does anybody feel this way. I'm genuinely curious. 

I am saying both this as a Hispanic and someone who likes Miguel O'Hara that I never found the ATSV script describing Miguel as animalistic or beast-like to be offensive. The guy was running on all fours and had talons and was trying to bite people. Because he's part vampire. They were literally just describing his actions as they appeared in the movie. He was literally behaving feral, he's not full human. He's a spider man. Now onto George. Now I hate when a white man's actions are sugar coated to appear less severe than when the same actions are committed by a person of color, I really hate it. But the script isn't gonna use "animalistic" vocabulary to describe George pointing a gun at his daughter. It's pig-headed, certainly. But like, George can't run up walls with claws or smash through metal, he's just an awful guy with a gun. It requires different vocabulary than "feral." this is all like, just sort of circumstantial. 

Bro imma be real. Ay. Aaaahhhhhhhghh, esto si lo odio. I'm sorry. I hate it when people write Miles and Gwen to be Mayday's godparents/uncle and aunt. I've seen people do this. I've read BTSV prediction fics that write in this moment where Peter B will...declare Miles and Gwen--PRESENT DAY Miles and Gwen, as in. 15-16 yr old Miles and Gwen--as Mayday's godparents. ????????? Peter, Miles and Gwen are young enough to be Mayday's siblings??? You think of Miles like your son (oh and you SUCK as a self-appointed dad btw sorry not sorry). Idk it's just silly to me. Like why do you as a middle aged man give legal guardianship over your daughter to two high schoolers if you die. I don't. What even are you, Peter. lol

The character "acting"--aka the way the characters' facial expressions and body language are animated--in ATSV is worse than it was in ITSV. I noticed this before, but it becomes so much more obvious when I watch the two movies back to back. It really stinks because I just KNOW this is a direct result of the crunch the crew went through. You cut corners when you crunch. Things get overlooked when there's no time. You don't have time to polish. It's the one obvious way that the poor working conditions during production actually shows. I mean, the character acting in the first movie was amazing.  That part when Miles is being choked by the Prowler. The part when he removed his mask, when Aaron turns off the thermal sensor vision in his cowl to actually look at his nephew and you see Miles just broken. His eyes already start welling up with tears and his lip quiver. Man and that's just one example. ATSV's character acting...it's good! Overall. It has its moments when the expressions are amazing, certainly, just as good as the first movie. But they're fewer. The Right to Remain Silent scene, the scene where Miles has the vision at the Spider Society, that little moment where Miles smirks at Gwen out the window, all two times Gwen smiles, all of Hobie's body language, that face Gwen makes when Rio warns her not to break Miles' heart, Gwen's speech to her dad when she returns to her universe, there's a lot of great ones. But then...there's like, a lot of frames where characters look weird. Have you seen how many times a character looks off??? Like if a character's face is just a little far away the model looks weird. Like look at this shot--look at Gwen.

In the actual scene, she says "Peter?", but why is she so...unanimated??? It's like, she's moving, yeah. Her mouth moved. She blinked. But it's so minimal. Her animation is not conveying enough emotion. Honestly, the weaker character acting is another one of the big reasons I really hope they're not crunching Beyond the Spiderverse. That movie should be ALL the feels, and I want characters to be emoting properly and fully, and for the animators to have the TIME to do that ETHICALLY. You see what happens when they ARENT provided with that LUXURY.

More Chaz

oh hell nah more the new norm fanart...listen you cant make a character look as fuckin cool and act like the nicest person in the room like Chaz and expect me NOT to draw them...

anyhow but ye I guess this is a thingy abt how it would be if Chaz was the main character or somethin idk..

Also thank you to sharkrad08222222 for telling me the girl's name :3 I'll try to respond to ur ask I just wanna make specific doodles for that ask :)

Chaz: Hey everyone! My name is Chaz, I'm nonbinary + I use they/them. I'll be your sensitivity advisor! I hope we can get along!

Norm: Nonbinary? What's next? Double binary? Norm's friend(I'm sorry i don't know his name): You got that right. Or trans attack helicopter.

Also I forgot to mention but I wanted majority of the cast to represent different reactions to nonbinary ppl. Norm and his friend are the haters of course

Norm's wife: Norm! He clearly said he's nonbinary! Stop it.

Again idk her name but she repersents the somewhat hypocritical ally in which she recognizes that they are nonbinary but she does not *see* or fully accept them as nonbinary, hence why she uses he/him for them still.

Chloe: Mom! Stop it! They use they/them + they're gonna be *my* partner!!

Chloe is supposed to repersent a true ally, yes, but also one that has certain prejudices & assumptions toward nonbinary ppl, like they have a lack of automny and are uwu soft babies and she 100% calls them an enbaby(like enby) despite their discomfort over it. Idk maybe she has a superiority or like "wow look I'm dating and am cool with a nonbinary person so I can do whatever i want!!" kinda thing idk

Chaz: Now everyone- *please* shut the fuck up, 'k?

I just think it's funny when the nice characters randomly pull out a gun or something. Idk I kinda imagine their personality as David from Camp Camp but earlyyyyy Camp Camp where he was happy and cheery but also a little frustrated and annoyed. Like only the 2nd and maybe 3rd ep I think. Anyways but yeah.

[sibillascribbles08]

Okay ramble that will probably not get anywhere but I will put it here anyway because I saw yet another post about people struggling to get any writing done. And someone in the comments made a good point. You write/draw so much more as a kid because you're less practiced and ergo less worried about the imperfections that may arise from just gunning it.

And this is true! And this is why I want to tell you if you are struggling to write much, learn to write like a kid again.

You know how with a lot of art you see processes and it always starts with really shitty thumbnails that have silly faces or just blobs of color? Then you have an actual sketch (during which the artist likely moves a lot of shit around on a digital canvas) and then possibly the inking phase or just painting which is more blobs that slowly get sharper and sharper the more the images is rendered.

Yeah uh, do that with writing. Going under the cut because long

Writing as a process is something that is unique to an individual, just like there's 800 ways to slap paint on a canvas. If you look at guide books for writing and none of it is sticking it's not cause you're a failure that technique is just not gelling for you.

And as such I can only speak from MY experience with it but like, here's how I generally stay on top of projects

A) Sketch phase! It's outline time baby! "Ughh but outlines suck" listen I know school made the outline phase of an essay the worst fucking thing ever but hear me out on this. Sure some people CAN write by the seat of their pants but in terms of long projects this does not work out for me. I'm inevitably gonna hit a point where idk where to go from there and it's so hard to map all that out in long form

Listen, outlines are not there to be formal. They're not even there to be fancy. This is time to get down the bare bones and if you have to make it only a paragraph long and then extend that paragraph into multiple then DO it.

Like hell, NONE of my outlines are formatted the same! Some are a paragraph per chapter. Others are just endless bullet points that I split up later. I'm sure in one book due to all the plotlines I'm just going to have a storyline for each character laid out in columns so I can draw lines between them. Whatever works.

And again, do not have to be formal, like here is a legit line in one of my outlines

As for the ruined building… Hypno will cover the damages……….. Right? : )

Go crazy.

B) Now that you have your baselines start working on the actual story. Do you like writing shit out of order? Do it, because with an outline you still have your baselines to reference for any important details you don't wanna forget "Remember [character] is supposed to get a scar in chapter five!" Or write shit in order, and every time you hit a lull consult those baselines to say "oh yeah that's where this chapter was going"

And hey, keep writing it like a kid if that's what it takes to get this crap down. Hit a fight scene you don't wanna write? Slap down some brackets. [Insert a fight scene here where [character] gets his head smashed in so he ends up with this concussion later like a dumbass]. Boom, done, worry about it later.

Worried the dialogue isn't flowing well? Slap open another document or grab some paper and write it out in a play format to keep it moving. Add in all the beats, expressions, and details after.

Not sure if this detail you're putting in is historically accurate? Leave an easy to search symbol in the doc so you can go back to it to research later.

Write the sappy shit. Write with poor grammar (but still like, comprehensible you know what I mean). Slip in adverbs to swap out with strong verbs later. Use a run on sentence.

"But it's gonna sound bad" Who cares who tf cares that's what editing is for ! You go back and refine that shit and clean up sentences and add in all the extra research and pull out the repetitive words.

You gotta quit treating writing like you're supposed to just swing your brush on the canvas and suddenly you have some beautiful scenery. There's layers. There's blobs that turn into refined shapes. There's blending and shading. There's fine lines and thick lines. And sometimes there's mistakes that you have to wait until it dries to go back over it again.

It is a process! Let yourself have FUN with the process.

Okay rant over.

Hey! I'm making a TFA visual novel, do you have any tips for the sprites? Idk how to draw very well

Hey! That's so cool!! We can compare notes on Animated and Prime! 🧐

Soooo, I'm gonna be honest about my experience drawing TFP characters. I only started drawing them again in January after taking a break since like 2021???

Before sharing, I'd like to remind everyone that this is a SAFE SPACE. Forgive my IbisPaintX transgressions 😔

This was among one of my very first attempts:

Drawing on your phone without a stylus and redrawing the same line like 10 times cus you just can't get it right feels like a modern rite of passage for artists 🫡

Basically, I had no idea what I was doing

...and I still kinda don't.

Something that will be your friend as an artist will be making art studies for the style you wanna replicate.

- Take some references from the show (screenshots, official art, anything)

- add it into a doc on whatever drawing software you use.

- begin breaking it down and labelling it! This works really well for using the eyedropper tool to note down colour schemes, and for outlining how you think the shape of various characters works.

I made some examples for my students a while ago. These are for OCs, so they're not direct screenshots, but the labelling and notes format works all the same:

Pick your reference, ideally one where things like baggy clothes aren't getting in the way of your view of the character:

Identify key shapes used (understanding shape theory is super important for a show like TFA that uses REALLY defined shapes):

Note anything important about how the characters are portrayed (how their personality is shown visually):

Aaaaand boom! You've made an Art study!

Of course, there's a lot more you can do with this format, but this is a straightforward one for a gamedev who doesn't have endless amounts of time.

After that, you just have fun drawing them in different poses and exploring the techniques that work for you!

(Yes, they are roommates, for anyone wondering)

Hope this was helpful!

More than likely that I'll make a video about it in the future while walking through my own process anyways 😊

Also, this is how I draw tfp characters now:

Looking back with Pride for my improvement! 🫡

finally re-reading stormbringer, first post of a long list (30 photos limit go die) we stan the flags

I read stormbringer this summer, and it was something (it destroyed me and made Chuuya became my favourite character of all bsd- more than anyone else (like sigma, he's my fav in the decay of angels arc), chuuya solos everyone and you know it shut up)

so, like I did with fifteen I feel the urge to share everything cause yeah we all need to suffer more

1. We Stan The Flags

This always makes me laugh, cause Chuuya's like "yeah, it's probably the shadiest and most dangerous role I could have as a non-executive, what's so important ab it? It's cool guys I'm not better than you all" (imposter syndrome sir)

I love Pianoman. I just- I love the Flags, and I will always fantasize ab a world where they're still alive. and them bullying chuuya is my favourite trope alr.

and i just know that in a no powers au chuuya would have been the kind of teenager to befriends people older than him like ten years age gap, cause people his age just weren't for him (in an healthy way guys)

try to not think ab chuuya's inability to accept gifts and love, and just some of the most powerful men in the mafia being excited ab a silly guy (silly chuuya who's stronger than half of them(gotta write chuuya and iceman first meeting))

the... the fruitiness of this sentence is menacing so I'm gonna- just yk

the au where Chuuya takes Lippman place ad the mafia's contact with the light is so beautiful and sad. and that fic where he takes chuuya on set I'm crying stop it

canon chuuya is so mean. Like not mean, just harsh. a lot of people only sees him as someone who gets mad at Dazai and is a peace of cake with everyone else- like no? he send to hell every person he talks to and goes on with "wanna know the power of gravity" every two seconds. he's just chuuya, gotta accept him as our little mass murder with anger issues that needs to be controlled cause the Mafia boss is afraid he's gonna die if he doesn't <333

and this is so beautiful in a way. he always talks ab killing dazai and dazai doesn't help with that, only giving him more reasons to do so, and same with the flag. anger issues maybe, but is he really angry with dazai and the others? we see him really mad, and it is not a pretty thing to watch- and they all know what mad chuuya really looks like and just know when he's yes angry but not really. everyone is ready to fight, and are relieved when things dont escalate (they love chuuya so much stop please)

they comfort him in a way that is heartwarming. they don't offer him useless words or things like "don't worry you have a past and you're human", they don't beat around the bush. Pianoman's like "hey, we know you don't know if you're human, and I'm gonna be super harsh ab it cause we're in the mafia and all of that but listen kid, here we are ab to solve your existential crisis"

even Iceman, the cold blooded hitman who almost killed chuuya a couple of times and was ab to try it five minutes before this, is fucking smiling. they're so happy to help him it hurts (just know iceman called him kid at least some times. he's the real big brother and I just know it)

yes, this is the first time chuuya has real friends- not kids he has to look after and protect without receiving gratitude but just a "it's the least you can do" attitude, not whatever-the-fuck-is-going-on with dazai, just friends. they spend time sìtogether, they give eachother gifts. they're kind with eachother in the ways the know how

an chuuya doesn't know what to do, cause he has never had this type of relationship with anyone, the "give-receive" mechanism that every relationship should have. he doesn't know what to do, and I need to hug him

and then the gag we needed and something I need to draw (Pianoman definitely is the tired mom. Iceman is the dad cause yeah who other. Chuuya and Albatross the sons, Doc the gay emo cousin (what do you mean you wish to be carried by Adam sir) and Lippman the sassy aunt. just see it)

he kind of is sir (he's fucking sixteen just kill me)

something I love ab him is the fact that he's emotionally constipated but like one of the less serious one. he knows that he can be easy to read since he's very open ab his emotions (even if they understand he could just kill everyone, so), but can be serious in a way a teenager shouldn't be able to. he chooses to be so open with dazai, the flags and the people he cares about. the trust king fr

they all know he's gonna come back (and that he's crying) cause he probably wanted them to, or he would have reacted worse to getting understood so easily

and this is the trope asagiri give us so many times and the best one in the history of tropes. bad scary guys having fun with some other bad scary guys and enjoying their time together like normal people.

...kafka, my love, stop it. you were doing do good

[896 words]

i first saw her out on the waves during hurricane Agatha. stupid mystery girl, surfing the surge like its nothing, as if she couldn't get wiped out with one wrong move. what a poser.

i hate her.

great, she's in my class too. pink really isn't her colour, and that cardigan seems way too hot for the outer banks, what on earth is she thinking? really dumb outfit choice. i'm glad that she didn't sit next to me, thanks a ton mr. sunn.

i hate her, and her ugly pink cardigan.

oh, just excellent! thank you so much kiara, how lovely of you to invite my mortal enemy to party with the pogues at the boneyard tonight. i bet she can't even hold her liquor.

i really hate her. she seems fake, nobody is that nice.

speak of the devil. at least this time she's wearing something decent, but it looks shit on her. i can't believe she's had 4 beers already and still doesn't look tipsy.

i cannot stand her.

oh great, she's walking up to me. whatever god is out there, what did i do to deserve this? fuck you, honestly. her voice is sickeningly sweet, but kinda raspy, like textured honey. ew. at least she brought me a beer. i don't like her freckles.

i don't want to be around her.

she's getting on with the pogues alarmingly well. this is not looking good... ohhhh no, john b, why would you invite her to hang with us at the chateau tomorrow?! i bet she's a slob.

she better not try to talk to me. i don't think i can handle that.

...why is that kook staring at her like that. he looks like a starving wolf, practically violating her with his eyes. she's not even all that great to look at, but still, that's not gonna happen on my watch.

i hate that i'm starting a fight for no reason, its none of my business but oh well, too late to back out now.

why is she drawing stars around my bruised knuckles. and why is she concentrating so hard, holding my hand with an unbearable softness, her tongue sticking out comically, like some cartoon character. how did i even get here. fuck.

i don't like her...

her bubbly laugh when i crack a joke is so annoying, making me feel all gross inside. i wish she would shut up so i can get it out of my head, although i doubt i could if i tried.

fuck.

i can barely hold the soft, yet intense gaze of her massive e/c eyes. she looks like a bug, i really want to squish her. maybe then i would stop feeling like this. i don't know why she's so persistent even though i'm clearly showing no interest.

i really hope she doesn't see through me.

ah great, i'm sick. thankfully the pogues are going fishing today, and taking whats-her-name with them. i need some time alone with my thoughts, although i'm not sure if i can handle them. someone's knocking on the door, maybe john b forgot something.

"its open!" i manage to croak out.

oh no. no no no no no please not her. anybody but her. goddamn it.

"hey, jj, um- if you tell me to i'll leave, but i heard you were sick, and thought i could help-- my mom's a nurse, so i know a thing or two-"

"i don't want your help. go have fun. i know you don't want to be here, plus you'll get sick too." why the fuck does she care about me. she shouldn't.

"i do, and i'll take that risk. plus i don't really wanna get sunburnt, my outfit isn't really suitable for the situation."

she's right, it definitely isn't. that flowy off-shoulder crop-top and embroidered jean shorts are way too flattering, and its not looking good for me.

i hate that she cares, its not helping my situation.

the way she looks after me makes me want to scream at her. why the fuck is she so gentle with me when i don't deserve even a sliver of it?

i hate to admit it, but she's been pretty decent company today. we got to know each other, and the fact that she fits all my criteria for 'ideal type' makes me want to die, because there's no way it'll actually happen, right? she's way too good for someone like me.

who am i kidding, i don't hate her. in fact-

"hey jj? you with me, man?"

"uh yeah- sorry, what were you saying?"

"why do you hate me so much?"

oh, dear...

"you're too perfect for your own good. it's killing me, knowing that acknowledging my feelings will only end in disaster, because i am the last person to deserve you. so no, y/n i don't hate you. although i really, really fucking wish i did."

her shocked expression confirms my opinion, i bet she's gonna sprint out of here in-

lips. my lips are touching something. what the fuck is going on. fuck, she tastes like lemon ice cream, do you even get that in obx? fuck if i know. goddamn.

so, as i was saying, i do not, in fact, hate y/n l/n. as a matter of fact, it is the exact opposite.

i am an absolute goner.

a/n: this is so trash lol yall should see my old stuff, idk what happened to my quality of writing, academic burnout is my biggest suspect tho >:/

[atempause-art]

Asks 7 & 19 for Ben? Also 6 for whoever you wanna talk about!

7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

his body type lol. massive chunk of my ocs are all old as balls back from early 2010's dA from edgy teen circles where we were all drawing skinny characters tim burton style. those old ocs never escaped it really, even if i tried to update them. i'm having a lot of fun drawing motherfucker build like a brick shithouse after years of drawing stickmen bwahah

19. What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

this is weird to explain but like. the silhouette? i am SO fed up with the "your characters needs instantly recognizable silhouette" that i started designing characters with very little extras stinking out as possible. ben, ljuba and beton are all result of that actually. ofc they ARE still recognizable, ben just on the amount of spikes alone. but still. it was fun limiting self to no long flowing clothes or hair or whatever extras. i should maybe try to put him in a shirt tho lol

i also love that now that i started writing him he just. keeps collecting scars. my man can't catch a break. how many am i gonna add

HATE HIM FACE. i redesigned him like 3 times? it's good now but i fucked myself over here, i like drawing expressions! and he has the expressions of a muppet, that maw is either fully open or closed, jfc i tried to get some sketches done but it doesnt. work.

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

picking adam bcs he's the only one with more than one idea behind him lol

that being said together he's a mess. i wanted to make him look cool so he's got this leather jacket right? on the back is a combo of symbols for sulfur bcs he's from hell and veles, slavic god of the underworld - hey it's his job to bring souls here oops im realizing the back is nowhere on the refs now bonus fun fact it's bcs i got 3 different jackets with shit on their backs i LOVE using my jackets to express self

and then i went full meme bcs haha slavic oc and put him in adidas sweatpants.

character asks
