Bakugou likes to spend his time in your place whatever you are he is just around and it’s not weird or anything he just feels like you’re the least annoying person from everyone he also like when you’re doing something and he just do his own things like you would be drawing and he would be sitting in your bed reading his book it’s very peaceful moments

No because this is so true to his character at least in my eyes. He’s already not an easy dude to handle so having someone who is a respectable medium of playful banter but also relatively grounding is a must.

And slightly off topic, but I feel like his love language is quality time with someone. And it’s not necessarily talking about any and everything for hours on end. It’s usually just the two of you sitting in silence and doing nothing in particular. Simply being able to be comfortable in each other’s presence is a big deal for him.

It’s not everyday he can just sit in the common rooms without a classmate being too loud, obnoxious and/or continuously pestering him and wearing his patience thin. He needs that down time from a long day to reset himself. And yeah, he enjoys his alone time but there’s nothing wrong with wanting someone to sit with him too. Someone who won’t annoy him and make unnecessary chit chat when he’s nose deep in his new book.

Someone who will busy themself with their own pastime, speaking on occasion when asking if he wants a snack or if the AC’s too high. He can find that kind of peace with you. It’s just something about your calming disposition.

There’s been numerous hours he’s spent in your dorm room, reading glasses on and a novel held gently in his hands. The crisp flip of every page he reads fills the air. As always, the curtains and blinds are drawn from your bedroom windows. The last light of day gently peaking into your room. You sit at your desk, small sketchbook laying on it as you doodle on the pages. The soft scratching of your pencil as it meets the sheet can faintly be heard. This quiet time is very precious to the both of you.

Not to say you can’t be loud and rambunctious when you want to be. Trust, he’s been at the brunt of your obscene curse words before, but you’re just so wholly down to earth in your nature it’s hard to not want to be around you.

It’s kinda funny really. Bakugou will argue with just about anyone and you’re no exception. But he can’t find this solace with just anyone. It’s like you get it. You get him. And that’s so rare for him to find. You don’t put him on a pedestal but you also don’t belittle his character. You treat him just like any old regular degular guy. You’ve got a mutual respect for one another. You better believe the times when you’re overstimulated from everyone’s antics he’s there to shit talk about how they’ve pissed him off too.

In a world where everything is go go go, y’all truly help each other to take the time to destress from the day’s challenges. He’s a really chill dude once he lets you in.

It's 2nd April, so - time to meet the first lucky winner~

As I promised, today the first fanfic for your MCs and OCs. It's quite funny, because the first person in the draw turned out to be the one who entered last. Dear @de1-os, congrats! Looks like your waiting was a good strategy~

Writing was a challenge, after all, this is my first fanfic like this. But I had a great time doing it. Asher is a fascinating character, above all with a very sensible approach to these demons. I hope you will like it!

Note: If anything sounds wrong and ooc, please let me know. I'll change it. If you want, you can also change it yourself, it's entirely up to you, and you can edit these texts however you want.

Also, I apologize in advance for any mistakes, especially if I mixed up pronouns. I write in my native language, where there is no equivalent of "they". I could have translated something incorrectly and not noticed when editing. Then let me know too, of course I will correct it.

Words: ~1200

WHB MC Shuffle | Asher

Asher was the first to leave Leviathan's office. Prematurely - as the waiting Astaroth noticed - because the meeting had recently begun. The councils of Hades ended when their king released them. At least that's what he heard. In Gehenna, they ended when the king kicked them out. 

The demon stared at Asher, trying to guess what happened inside. But it wasn't easy when the only thing that changed in their expression was a wrinkled nose. They could just as easily be disgusted or angry as they could be terrified.

“Didn't everything turn out the way you wanted?”

Only a quiet grunt escaped Asher's lips. What were they supposed to say? What always happened, happened today too.

“Glasyalabolas.”

A few days ago, His Majesty Leviathan summoned the descendant of Solomon to attend an extremely important meeting; what was important, only he knew, because Asher was as bored as a pug during political talks. Today's session seemed even less interesting than usual. They achieved a new record of disconnection from the surroundings. They stopped listening before the nobles even started talking. What could they do? They were surrounded by a bunch of hot men, instead of stupid politics, they could have chill out a little. For example, unbutton the shirts to let the chill breeze brush their skin…

Astaroth's snap awakened them before the train of imagination could gain momentum.

“Huh?”

“I asked what he did this time.”

Legs carried them forward, away from this office, as if Asher were afraid that the boredom would spill out and consume them again. Or, even worse, Glasyabolas's hand would land on their thigh again. Although, actually, it wouldn't be that bad. He was quite hot. Except he was an asshole. But what could they do, it only increased the possibilities… They forced themself to at least partially come to their senses. Even though, the fantasies about Glasyal were much more interesting. Yes, they were angry with him, but they still could appreciate a good body and certainly even better skills. It's not easy to shake a connoisseur out of their professionalism.

“He is being himself.” Asher grumbled under their breath. “I'm starting to get fed up with him.”

“Maybe you should take a break. I know a place you might like.”

The place in question turned out to be a cramped shop. The shelves were full of suspicious drugs, they all smelled of herbs and that unusual, sleepy fog surrounding Hades. Raven feathers, stone amulets, and reptile scales were stuffed among laurel branches and incantation ribbons. Astaroth, wrapped in snake coils, looked like one of the exhibits. Surrounded by the mysticism of this place, he seemed even sexier than usual. But why did the demon brought them here?

“Look.” The man pointed to the jar of clay standing at their feet. “These are lumps of earth collected from the place where His Majesty Lucifer fell into Hell.”

Asher bent down and picked up a small thing that looked more like a vial.

“Should it really be standing that low? Someone will kick it and everything will fall apart.”

“The thing is, these stones are extremely…”

They put the jar on a shelf among engraved beads and blue-labeled containers. Old wood groaned and splinters appeared from the bottom.

“…heavy.”

“Never mind.” Asher quickly put that quirk back where it was. It occurred to them that they might throw it at Glasyalabolas. Maybe he would finally get his shit together.

“You're wrinkling your nose again. Are you thinking the same thing as before?”

“Maybe… I'm sick of him, you know? I want to throw it in his face.”

“I think you should let your desires take over. Be corrupted. Be yourself.” Demon reached for a drug with a blue label. “But I propose a more sophisticated way.”

“What do you mean?”

“These are sleep oils with little side effect. You fall asleep faster, but you wake up much more tired.”

Without much thought, Asher grabbed a package three times its size.

“We'll take it.”

The gift they had prepared didn't look suspicious. An ordinary pillow that smelled of lavender. People lie perfectly, so explaining it was supposed to be easy. Asher had some credible stories ready. In fact, they were even a little disappointed that Glasyal didn't ask where the gift came from. All that was left to do was wait.

On the first day, there were no signs of fatigue. As they sat in council, Glasyalabolas was as great and immovable as a mountain. The next day, the mountain hunched its shoulders, but so slightly that they barely noticed it. On the third day, dark circles began to appear under his eyes. The next evening, after a meeting in which Glasyal had given up even teasing them, another thing humans are good at stirred in Asher. Delicate, barely audible remorse.

they stood outside Glasyal's room, trying to think of why they wanted their gift back. Yes, the demon was annoying, but maybe, just slightly maybe, they a little, just a little liked him. Maybe it's a souvenir from another demon? Or maybe a pillow that is always warm on both sides and was mistaken for a real gift? Before Asher could think of anything, the door opened. Weird. They didn't knock.

“Do you need anything?”

“Yes.”

“Come in, then. I know you've been standing here for quite a few minutes.”

Even though Asher entered the snake pit with a straight face, their heart was racing. First, they entered the demon's room. A handsome demon. A terrifying demon. They regretted it even before the door closed behind. Maybe they should come back after all? 

All doubts were doubled when Glasyalabolas leaned forward, as if bowing, and took their hand.

“Two can play this game, you know that?”

Not only Asher's heart but also his breathing reached the pace of an asthmatic after a marathon when Glasyal placed their hand on his cheek. He rubbed their fingers under his eye, and the circles that were supposedly from lack of sleep became blurred. Everything that was speeding up, suddenly stopped. Makeup. It was makeup. And worst of all, when they looked closer, the makeup was of very low quality. 

“You think I can't recognize sleeping herbs? Especially since you poured so much into this pillow? Even a corpse would be disturbed.” 

Instead of letting go of their hand, Glasyal ran their fingers over his lips. They were surprisingly soft and warm. Asher couldn't help himself. They pressed harder, wondering if his tongue was as soft. Anxiety fought with desire as they stared at his tongue as it lazily licked its lips. Fuck. Before they take this pillow away from him, they can still use it in this bed.

They took a step closer and grabbed the dark horn to make sure the demon wouldn't get up. And that he won't have any stupid ideas. Glasyal just muttered under his breath, something that sounded like a cross between a groan and a laugh.

“It was a punishment to stop acting like an asshole.” 

“I guess it didn't work.”

“In that case” Asher tugged the horn, forcing Glasyal to bow even lower. “Looks like I'll have to work on this more bluntly.”

The demon knelt down. However, if Asher thought for a moment that he would politely give up, their legs immediately buckled under them. Glasyal grabbed them around the waist and lifted their shirt with his teeth, licking, nipping and biting their lower abdomen.

“I want to see you try.”

That evening, neither of them needed a pillow anymore.

random thoughts i have while playing isat pt. 3

(compiled so i dont keep spamming others and my own blog, o7)

[woe! spoilers be upon ye!]

yippeee the king killed us all :DDD now begins the suffering

ok, so like. the lets talk about the tarot cards. because this shit hurt me PERSONALLY and i need other people to think REAL HARD about this. i've only gotten 2 (there's 1 "true" card for each act, any others drawn after the first will be random if I recall???); six of swords and a reversed draw of the star.

six of swords is a pretty simple card- it's a transitionary card, marking the start of a journey that will impact the drawer (i use biddy tarot for reference occasionally, they base their descriptions on the Rider-Waite deck's meanings, which is standard for most), specifically "moving forwards towards the unknown". the change "may be your own doing or forced upon you", but overall it is meant to make you a better person as you work through the struggle of change. you get this card in act 2, once the loops start and you have to start doing the puzzles to figure out how to get up to the king. at this point, siffrin is pretty convinced that the loops are a gift, but given the indication by the card that the journey may not be pleasant this kind of sets up players for the second draw;

the star reversed is much, MUCH more interesting in it's meaning. i say reversed because it's made pretty clear that siffrin draws it upside-down the first time, then flips it over to see the text. for people not really well versed in tarot, draw a card upside down (aka reversed) can cause the card to have different meanings. in the case of the star, when drawn upright it is a sign of hope and faith, as well as purpose and spirituality. however, when drawn in reverse, it means the opposite: "lack of faith, despair, self-trust, disconnection". this is all well and good, but what really punched me in the gut was reading the first sentence of the biddy tarot description for this draw; "The Star Reversed can mean that you’ve lost faith and hope in the Universe."

And boy, if that doesn't perfectly describe how Siffrin begins to crumble after act 2? the use of Universe with a capital U is also very important to note. there's some other notes for this card too, specifically about feeling "overwhelmed", "questioning why you are being put through this", "desperately calling out to the Universe to give you some reprieve but struggling to see how the Divine is on your side", and the card being a "test of faith". further reading also notes loss of enthusiasm for life and experiences you may have liked prior to your challenges, boredom, and disconnect. It's so heavy-handed that i legit had to put down my computer when i read it. the beginning of the complete disillusionment of siffrin after act 2 and the slippery slope of act 3 fits this card SO WELL, i applaud insertdisc5 for including this

Another note: we're all gonna point out the obvious- loop, being themself a star, is a pretty overt reference to this card as well. i mean, they literally have similar experiences, but their loops went on for so much longer. an important thing to note is that part of the page on this draw says something REALLY interesting; "you can either crumble like The Tower or stand firm in your conviction that the Divine is everywhere". the tower is a SUPER interesting card to bring up with, expecially given the context that loop gave in. they were tired, and they wished for an end, in some way shape or form. in a weird sort of way, by succumbing to the "bad ending" of the reversed star card, they become a sort of representation of the upright card as well, being a helpful figure and guide, giving siffrin hope. it kinda rounds out their whole character really well for me in that context

back to bullshitting;

i would die for mangala fritter frin. pure of heart. dumb of ass. they are the light of my life

i wanna know how everybody in the party would make a change god statue, since everybody makes their own, right??? like, as an artist i'd love to see what little personal touches and details they'd add to crafting one for themselves

PROMPT LIST ~ Guide

Want to know what the prompt lists for twomp week will look like and how to use them? Look no further!

Each day of twomp week will have 8 prompts. These are for you to use as loosely or as seriously as you may choose. Throw them away entirely if nothing sparks your imagination! Or put multiple together for the ULTIMATE PROMPT. The choice here is up to you!

For each day there will be one prompt for each of the following categories:

Crossovers - Enjoy this excuse to mash up your favourite parts of twomp with other media you love. Put the characters into each other's situations, argue why they parallel your favourite characters, or just have twomp characters decide which of these is their favourite!

Swap - Here we're trying to switch things around. Think about how fun it would be to see something in twomp acting in a way it normally wouldn't. Play around with their designs or characterisation to make them fit into this alternate universe version of themself!

Fluff - Where would fandom be without the soft and cuddly feelies? Let's make things cute and wholesome so we can all give these horrific guys some time to relax.

Angst - Conversely, where would fandom be without the pain and suffering? Take people out of harms way? Goodness no! Let's make them suffer more. Put your favourites into new and worse situations and see how they struggle!

Trope - Fandom tropes... We all know them and we all love them. Lets throw some fandom classics into the mix here and see what new angles we can come at them from.

Ship - We all love our twomp ships. From the main pairing, to making background characters kiss like Barbie dolls, take this as your chance to play around with some pairings in this fandom. Platonic or romantic, all that matters is how we think they'd get on with each other.

Twomp Episode - When was the last time you watched some of these twomp episodes? Have a little rewatch of this random sample plucked for the event and see if you can make anything fun based off of them. Who knows what inspiring material might be hiding in a forgotten episode.

Colour palette - Ah, the artist classic. Crack out your pens, pencils, and drawing tablets guys and challenge yourself with a strict palette. Or simply see what ideas come to mind just by looking at them. All those greens make you think of grassy plains? Why not write about a void filled with endless fields?

But what do you do if there's a prompt you like for one day that you want to do on another day? Do it for that day anyway! The prompts are only a loose starting point. This event is for you to make whatever it is you may please.

Maybe a prompt gives you a loose idea, but as you finish your work you discover it's changed from the original prompt entirely. That's fine too! I cannot stress enough how much this is up to your own preference to use.

The official prompt list will be revealed prior to the start of the event. The dates for these are both still TBD. Keep an eye for further updates and feel free to reach out with any questions

[nnibarrel]

So... Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy. My recent obsession. Let's go! I'll try to do it without significant spoilers.

Carefull, long post under the cut!

First of All. Amadeuses Kids! They grew up! UWU. They're such cute little young fireball casters. Omg, that's almost like watching your nephews grow, they feel so much like a family...

That game series has been with me since I was a child and as I remember Trine (part 1) was my first (real) videogame! And now when I play Trine 5 it cures my soul so much, right when I needed it. It's like... Has a Tolkien vibe for me. I mean in the sense that It's too fairy tail outside, it may look childish, but it has layers! I really like the plot, it hit me right in the heart and made me reflect. And I was struggling with dark thoughts on Future and Trine's perspective on the global world's problems made me smile and hope for the best... Really thank you, trine team, you're awesome :D Where there's people who share your concerns and put it in the work of art like that and make witty satire on it that's precious. I have returned some of my faith in humanity now. 

Well, maybe some people may not see what I saw or just won't feel such weight, cause my recent experience made me stump on it, so well I need to say that plot in general... Dramatic. I was impressed How it manages to balance at the edge of magical fairy tail and life drama (OR that's again me and my pains. Anyway...) STRONG twists and things at stake. Heroes encounter both global threat and personal challenges (all three of them, but poor wizard, he got it the most. But he's so silly old man, I'm crying) (Zoya, my girl, I love you...) (Pontius... You're just perfect, I'm proud of you, example of a real knight :D)

Character writing is amazing, they REALLY feel alive.

For example: Amadeus marries a woman after he became a hero and throughout the whole game series he mentions that, then he mentions their kids and, like i mentioned now, now we see how they grew up! And in fifth's game due to plot he misses his triplets greatly and in the forest three heroes meet a fox with three little foxes... And Amadeus is like "oh no, I'm a terrible father" 😭

And there's a lot of cute normal or giant animals in the game series, we're helping them and then they come up and help us. Such lightsome game, I can't/// Those animals... Uwu/// (Just a little detail but I wanted to mention that...)

What I like else about the narrative: humor :D For demonstration I just let Pontius to show himself:

And now when I've let out my shouts...

*sights* AaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA. Another round, Friends :D

I. Worship. Those. Artists. They are geniuses. Screenshots speak for themself, I guess.

Design, artwork and effects... No, I can't describe it in words, again, I just pray on it. So damn enchanting. I literally dream to be like those artists who work on this series. (And that's a threat) When I think of it, well, maybe THAT magic inspired me to be who I am right now...

Magic observatory where's pictures of butterflies there and there... ARE YOU DESNAN, WIZARDS???

And those just killed me. Episode in a dark place with the sudden rays of hope... I was just. Aaaah... So beautiful both by art and location's story.  Replica of the second screenshot: "It's rare that ghosts are on our side. Usually we and undead are not on good terms." What did I tell you? :D Tolkien vibe!

So who got through my post till the end... Please, please get to know those game series. I didn't mention it at all above but It's also a genius of gameplay. It's a platformer with (some) fighting and (a lot of) puzzles. Also. It's thrice (:D) fun in coop.

AND. Music. Won't say much about it either but It's a genius magical masterpiece. I guarantee you: Trine soundtrack will find its way to your playlist.

P. S. Will I do fanart on trine? Maybe... Maybe... You know, I just have that strange thing: some stories are "sacred" in my brain so I can't Just sit and draw cause I'm constantly stressed out if it turns out bad or worse: not how I imagined it. Same with Tolkien books, btw. In fandom since childhood, (if you count that, if not - from adolescents and first steps to the internet) and no single drawing. (not single real drawing at least)

But! I have Nine Parchments fanart :D

Oooh. And. I have THEM in frame. Art from my friend who gifted it to me at postcrossing some time after we played Trine 4 (and then the whole game series) together! It was such a pleasant surprise!

The end. ❤️❤️❤️

[vivifriend]

HI!! for the fanfic ask game, B, F, H, and S!!

Good to see you. ^^

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience? Not specifically. Or, not on purpose at least. XD But I will often draw on lived experiences/personal knowledge for certain events.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it. I've always loved the Gildergreen. But I've always hated how the quest works out when you accompany Maurice. It never made sense to me that he'd wait until you'd cut on all the roots to say something. So, I twisted it for Learning Curve, and I'm still pleased with how the scene and dialogue turned out.

-

"This way," Maurice said.

"Danica suggested you might have advice for me," Copper said, keeping pace with him.

"Did she? Odd. I might have a few suggestions I suppose," he agreed, leading them along the path that ran above a gurgling stream.

Vilkas looked down into the area, noting the handful of armored people mingling with those in plain clothes. I hadn't realized there were so many devotees of Kyne left. Short-sighted of me.

"Your first challenge," Maurice announced, stopping by a massive root blocking the path. "You must make it past the roots of the Eldergleam," he nodded toward Copper's belt, "that dagger would easily persuade the root to move if you cut it."

"But?" Copper asked.

"Rely on your instincts. What does your heart compel you to do?" he asked, watching them closely.

Silently they approached the root, the pups hanging back with Vilkas, watching as they ran their hand over scars in the root. "People have cut on this before," they said.

"Many times."

Drawing Nettlebane they lifted it, hesitating, frowning, resting the flat of the blade on the root, staring at it, looking up. After a long moment they sheathed Nettlebane swiftly and backed up nearly to where Vilkas stood, taking a steadying breath before dashing forward, leaping up, barely managing to get their hand at the top of the root, swinging themself up and over it, dropping to the other side with a thump and Vilkas startled. Will that be too high? Will they go still again? Or not until the adrenaline runs out?

With a painfully loud creak, the root moved, lifting entirely off the path and he stared at it, dumbfounded.

Maurice smiled and nodded slightly to Copper as they joined them. "In all my years, you are the first to have managed to scramble over it in one go," he said warmly.

"What have you seen?" they asked.

"I've seen a handful manage to climb it, many more who slashed at it, particularly after seeing the blade scars. Only one of them wielded Nettlebane in the past," he sighed, gaze going distant before he shook himself out of his reverie. "Many give up and turn back, stymied by what they see as an insurmountable obstacle. Some promise to return one day and," he smiled down at the hollow. "Some of them do, they devote their lives and their blades to Kyne as one of the sanctuary's protectors. Let's continue."

-

H: How would you describe your style? Hmm, I think that I tend toward character driven. I like to focus on how the characters interact with the world, which sometimes means being sparse on details of surroundings. (something I'm working on).

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? Soulmates and Hurt/Comfort. Especially if those two are combined. ^^ I'm not generally one for Hurt/No Comfort but give me angst to make the fluff sweeter and I'm a happy camper. ^_^ And combining soulmates with hurt/comfort makes for a glorious time.

Thank you for the ask! <3

[banana-breadses]

holy shit your object show as a whole sounds so interesting if you woulnd't mind i want to hear more

okie lets go! (long ramble ahead)

My show is called Roll Credits!

plot wise its just your standard object show with challenges eliminations and a huge plot thing later in the season! the characters is where it gets fun ;-)

here are the first drawings of most of the characters. its not the best, but they're all here! lets go in order:

Water Bottle(she/her): Athletic! likes sports and excersise. complete opposite of Towel.

Towel(she/her): Lazy! likes television and sleeping. complete opposite of Water Bottle.

Textbook(he/him): Smart! is a green book! i have since updated his design, and added glasses and some blocks of text on his cover. also BAD AT TALKING

Rubik's Cube(he/him): Organized! basically my younger brother's self insert. dont know much about him but hey he seems cool.

Sugar Cookie(she/her): My girl! love her! first character of them all,an oc before i wanted to make a show. Ive talked all about her before, and I love her <3

Snowflake(he/him): honestly he's the one ive thought the least about. cool guy, really chill(pun intended)

Drum(they/them): Likes music i guess. I love them but all conversations end up in an argument because of the ~transphobic family~

Bowl(he/they/it): Cool guy. also a god. this was drawn before he was a god. doesn't talk i also have an original drawing for God Bowl that i dont really like anymore but if you wanna see it... (more lore to come!)

Bill(he/him): Rich! Bowl's best friend, and talks a lot. makes up for Bowl's silence.

Sunglasses(both he/him): the hosts! individually their names are Sun and Glass. Sun is excitable and energetic, and Glass is a cool guy.

Measuring Tape(she/they): Mom friend? i think? no matter what I am in love with their shape!!! she's so cute!!1

Glow Stick(she/her): rowdy teenager! likes to party and have fun. Her emotions do get really big(like me!) and she changes mood really intensely really quickly.

Flashlight(she/her): Cute girl! love her! she's the youngest of the group. kind to everyone, knows everyone, but doesn't have any real friends. Until now! with compassion she and Glow Stick become good friends :)

Speaker(he/him): didn't have a personality, but now he still doesn't! yknow how Rob in TAWOG forces his way from a background character to the villain? Speaker's kinda like that. doesn't have a personality, but hacks into the settings of the show to give himself one.

Pinecone(he/him):!!!!! the angry one!!!! used to be a criminal. he has been cloned!! and he doesn't really know it. as far as Pinecone knows, he got hit with a sciencey beam and thats it.

Marble(he/him):uuuuhh a last minute addition. dont know much about him. :/

Key(he/him): very calm. Kinda like Candle II. his eyes are always closed because when he opens them theyre so shiny it would blind everyone. why? you'l never know(unless you ask him(he polishes them(with bleach)))

Twig(she/her): TWIG!!!! Love her!!! very soft spoken and loves her leaf. doesn't understand people all the time, but she tries :o)

Mushroom(she/her): the mediator. Likes gardening, and tries to keep her alliance from falling apart.

those are all the main characters! there are a few side characters like the mafia, their parents, and the gods.

okie the mafia:

Coney(he/any): Pinecone's clone. wants to distance themself from him a lot, so he became a criminal! leads a band of friends despicable objects.

Poinsettia(she/her): tries to stay calm. Tall. super cool

Butter Knife(they/them): anxious to all tomorrows. i have never seen them not anxious.

Tie(he/she): chaotic. has maybe killed someone for real......? she wont tell.

honestly the mafia is just Team Rocket level evil, but Coney honestly tries to be bad.

their parents are just a few things ive thought about. Sugar Cookie's parents are Chocolate Chip Cookie and Cake, Rubik's cube's parents are Puzzle and Paint Pallet, and Measuring Tapes parents are Ruler and Tape. Ive come up with more(not all of them).

TAPE!!!! LOOK AT HIM!!! HE IS SO SHAPED!!!

the gods are still a bit of a mystery to me. there are twelve of them, (all dishware) but the only ones that are really important and fleshed out are Bowl and Plate. Plate was Bowl's caretaker when it was young, and after Bowl ran away, she got really depressed and holed up in the gods' realm. they all have varying numbers of eyes and wings.

here's a picture of Plate and a ladle guy i might make a god.

okie those are all the characters! (not even all of them I still havent mentioned Doll or any of the alliances ;))

Template here !

[everyothermouse]

Is done! Featuring the hunters + nut and prince :)

Note that prince and hash's probably aren't super accurate since both of them have artstyles that are the antithesis of mine, but I tried to give an approximation 😅

extra talking abt all these peeps experience with drawing under the cut!

Hash: the only one here her considers themself an artist. She's been doing traditional art (painting and marker work primarily) for 5 years and digital art for 3. She likes shapes and colors, her favorite type of pallete is complementary, and her favorite thing to draw is flowers and logos. I do not have her level of skill in color theory or graphic design, clearly XD

Peter: he doesn't draw. Doesn't know how to draw. Look man he's more of a crafts person, big on weaving, and he barely even has time for that when he's so busy lying on the floor sinking into an endless void of emptiness.... with that said he picked up a little bit from hash and prince, so he can draw flowers, himself, hash, and prince pretty much

Genny: like I said in a previous post, decided she wanted to draw when she was 16, picked up a how to draw cartoons book from the school library, and she's stuck with that style ever since. She's definitely not an avid drawer, but she likes knowing how to draw simple cartoons really quickly because it impresses people (especially kids, which is great when you're a tutor)

Nut: he's 3. Next question

Gabby: gabby is notoriously shit at drawing, when she and hash draw together its like watching a professional chef and a 7 year old mixing together random ingredients cook in the same room together. Yeah she's great, hash thinks it's adorable (Dario bullies her for it though)

Prince: like I mentioned before prince was a very lonely teenager, given that he was trapped in a house with no social interaction for several years. While things went a little wild at the end, at the beginning he had pretty mild coping mechanisms, like trying to recreate the photos in his history books and rearranging the parts to make new people, or staring at his own face in the mirror in a dim room until it started to look deformed and foreign and almost like there were other people in the room, you know, just chill things. So yeah he has some pretty decent drawing skills now because it was one of his only hobbies for years, and he still occasionally likes doing it to relax :)

Also I brought up the mirror thing to say that prince since he died has kind of hated looking at his face for any long period of time, so I imagine if he did a self portrait it would resemble his teen face more than his current face, because hed probably just do it mostly off memory from when he did look at himself more often.

I HAD to do this meme, it just sounded too fun! Vendetta, AJ, Ife, Rick, Lester, and Lavender all draw themselves (or at least try to)

[flingza-roller]

Sorry if this is bad timing, but I just saw your post about lorikeet and I love them! Could you tell me a bit more about them and your other splatoon OCs?

OHO YES! there is no such thing as bad timing to ask about ocs, im just incredibly happy that somebody is interested!! heheh time to Ramble (this is long sorry)

ok so im gonna stick to the bird kids cuz theyre a lot easier to explain GSJFD (maybe someday ill give my other ocs refs and backstory stuff....)

all four of em are very much based off how i play the game as each character, so i pretty much just grab my in-game behaviour and give it to em as a personality.

so, lorikeet! splat3 is still very new but i think ive somehow already solidified their personality lmao. theyre super reckless, pretty much always falling off stages and getting themself splatted by doing stupid things like running headfirst to a tacticooler or trying to challenge the eliter that wont leave them alone (i think mahi-mahi is the absolute worst for this). they like to go a little bit cazy and get as many kills as possible, which is silly when the only mode u play is turf war... (on that, there is not a single splatoon game that has gotten me to like ranked/league. i played it a few times and then swore off it, so now all four of the kids hate ranked lol)

lori fucking ADORES deep cut so theyve got the three earrings in their right ear bc they wanna be like shiver and frye. on deep cut, they love splatfests and all the music n fun stuff that comes with it. theyre weirdly not too competitive when it comes to defending their team, BUT they will go extra feral during splatfest turf wars and go complete beast mode. they still dont have a main weapon? favours brushes but thats pippins thing so they should probably pick something else GDKGS

oh they have the worst adhd brain. if they see something cool happening in the bg of a stage they will just straight up stop in their tracks and watch for a while, completely oblivious to whatever is happening in the match. and of course the moment they hear the tacticooler they will run for it even if theyre literally in the opposite end of the stage.... stupid. favourite stage is yet to be decided, gotta let the game marinate for a while longer

as the new agent 3 lori is pretty good at following orders, they just kinda... die in the dumbest possible ways. trying to jump through walls, walking straight off ledges, accidentally attracting attention to themself by throwing lil buddy right next to them. but theyre pretty good at fighting! also they like annoying the captain, because of course (this doesnt bode well for kiwi)

id like to build more on their character eventually but that requires me playing more splat3 and ive been rly unmotivated to do so >:/ ive barely played any salmon run and still havent touched table turf. augh. lori u will grow as a person i promise

now PIPPIN! (she/they) theyre my kid from octo expansion! shes very silly but surprisingly strong and skilled. never asked for help from OTH and went through every single test multiple times to get every weapon ticked (hell). also enjoys fighting inner agent 3 because ??? clearly a lot more competent than theyre letting on.

so once pip came to the surface they were very much like "id rather NOT do the whole fighting thing again" and jumped into turf wars with the intention of just having fun and messing with people. her gear set is 100% QSJ cuz she likes annoying the enemy team and then jumping away like a coward when theyre cornered (it jumpscares people bc they dont expect an octo to jump THAT fast).

she uses brush so that they can draw love hearts in enemy base :] they think its very cute and gets sad when ppl ink over it. also if an enemy tries to initiate a party they will always join bc make love not war etc. always goes for the highest inkage (highest score excluding win points was over 2000) favourite stage is inkblot art academy!

zero sense of fashion btw they either wear the QSJ gear or whatever they think will make her look hot (big fan of the octoling armour and marinas crop top). sometimes changes gender to Boy bc why the hell not, gender is arbitrary.

when grouped up with the others, they like teaming up with pigeon to cause chaos and havoc. shes very excited to see lori joining the team cuz theyre equally as insane as the other two! kiwi is the only one carrying a braincell here rip

PIGEON time!! (also she/they) technically my first oc because splatoon 2 was my first game! so she definitely has the most going for them. foil flingza main (my beloved), absolutely a frontliner and goes for the kill as much as possible. very good at sneak attacks! main gear is almost entirely special charge up (sorry. im the og missile spammer) except for ninja squid which they use to scare the shit outta ppl.

pigeon adores the birds u see hanging out on various stages, especially the pigeons (naturally). favourite stage is moray towers! i never said we had good taste. moray is excellent for roller users and allows for fast clean base inking >:]

like the others they love a good squid party but isnt always in the mood, HOWEVER she will never splat an innocent partier bc thats a dick move. if theyre not a threat, theres no need to splat.

outside of turf, pigeon is actually not a very violent person. very sweet to their friends and oh so very lesbian. she sees a pretty girl in the square and goes 😳 (btw this DOES work in battle, be a cute girl and they will be distracted). fucking absolutely obsessed with squid beatz like you have no idea, aims to get gold on every hard mode song. favourite songs to play are frantic aspic, shark bytes, and entropical. she and pippin love playing games like this together, i bet theyd be great dance duo.

in hero mode, pigeon is naturally a completionist and obtained every weapon. fucking loves harassing marie and annoying her as much as possible. adores callie so much <3 their best speedrun time is 40 sec on octo samurai (sadly cant reach the world record of 39)

unlike pippin they actually have a pretty good fashion sense, always coordinating their outfits and ink colour to match. a very stylish squid!

now kiwi is an interesting one. i first played splatoon 1 in beginning of 2018, so sadly i missed out on the splatfests. still got plenty of turf in and played hero mode repeatedly bc i have brainrot!

so kiwi (again. she/they) is really into amiibo challenges, especially the kraken challenge. being a kraken for that long makes em feel powerful, and its lotsa fun. they actually spend far more time on hero missions than anything else, they enjoy turf on the occasion but find it weirdly intimidating (favourite stage is flounder heights!). she feels most at home in the valley, with craig and the squid sisters. theyre far too sympathetic toward octolings (unlike pigeon who just goes fucking ham) and tries her best to just avoid fighting them entirely. because of this, shes pretty good at stealth missions, especially since she rarely makes much noise anyway. theyre definitely the most low-key out of the four agents.

SO!! why do i name them all after birds? because.... i like birds :D yes im a wannabe ornithologist and birds are my main special interest. i also mainly name them after aus/nz birds cuz im just Like That. we have cool birds in australia, and lorikeet was just far too fitting to pass up. (btw pippin is short for peregrine falcon)

despite being so skilled in hero mode missions they do actually get hurt a lot and almost always has some kind of bandaid or gauze on her body from various injuries. is it a lack of skill, or just recklessness? hmmm (its definitely just because she doesnt take enough care of their body lol).

if kiwi were to be captain in splatoon 3, theyd definitely be just constantly scruffing new 3 by the collar to stop them from doing something stupid. is very afraid of a new idiot joining the gang, as if pip n pidge werent bad enough. all 4 as a splatfest team would definitely be the most chaotic thing possible.

also theyre this way because when i draw squirds (tagged on my blog as "wings au") i think its fun to see how different they all look! kiwi would certainly be more fitting as a bird of prey but i think they look so silly with the stubby wings so im not changing my mind. this does mean shes real fast at running! pip and lori are the fastest flyers, pigeon is just kinda in between rip

final note, theyre all at LEAST 18 just so that its not weird. they all use she/they except lori, whos exclusively they/them. they all fucking hate ranked but love hero missions. also all of them have 1 braincell bouncing between them (mainly held by kiwi)

if u managed to read this far, thanks for ur time!! ill eventually draw all these silly bird kids together as squirds, i think itd be fun.

Currently working on the writing prompt “your pocket looks very inviting”

Till then, have an unfinished WIP story of my dragon character Stargazer :3

Contains swearing and an injured character

—————————————————

Dragon and Squire short

“Fuck off” the dragon growled to the knight and his squire without so much as lifting her head to look their way. The knight stepped forward form woods surrounding the dragon’s cave high in the mountains, drawing his sword to challenge the great beast. The sound caused the dragon’s ears to twitch only slightly, a heavy sigh growing into a rumbling growled threat.

“Leave me be” she warned, in no mood to trifle with pestering humans, end of her tail thumping impatiently.

“Prepare yourself, beast! For today you are slain by the hand of the mighty Sir Richard!”

The knight lunged at the dragon, waiting no time and aiming for a fatal blow. The dragon did not move even as the blade struck her. Unable to penetrate her scales, the knight lost his balance while his sword missed its mark, sliding harmlessly over the dragon’s hide. Stunned, the knight recovered his weapon and composure. Only then did he notice the dragon now stood, only about as tall as the dragon’s elbows.

The knight felt a frozen jolt of dread as he caught the volatile look in the dragon’s eye. When the great beast drew a large breath the knight finally dropped all pretenses and ran for his life before an inferno licked at his heels. An almighty roar followed, shaking the knight to his core even as he fled back into the mountain woods below.

The dragon stood listening to the human’s retreat, then remembered there had been a second, who she hadn’t heard flee. A frantic call for help drew her attention over a ledge near where the human’s had approached from.

“Fuck me” the dragon groaned under her breath, leaping over the ledge and gliding down a short ways to the trees below. Just her luck, the human squire was dangling awkwardly from a forked tree branch, quite apparently stuck.

The squire’s eyes grew with panic at the sight of the dragon, struggling fruitlessly to free themself. The dragon walked closer with a sigh, rearing onto her hind legs and using a paw to steady herself against a nearby tree trunk. With her free paw she reached for the squire, gently grabbing his form and dislodging his leg from the branches. Gently she returned to her usual stance, standing with her free paw and holding the other open on the ground. The squire wasted no time trying to make a run for it, but hardly made it two steps before collapsing in pain.

Just her luck the dragon thought to herself, thinking over her options. The squire frantically tried to hobble away, but was easily caught by the dragon, lifted up by the back of his hauberk between her teeth like a cat carrying her kitten. His frantic panicking somehow managing to double as the dragon took a running start and leapt into the air. A few wing strokes and they were back to the dragon’s den, human still struggling to no avail, dragon’s breath ruffling his hair. She carried him as she grabbed one of the large pillows from her nest, setting it down near a fire pit.

Gently she lowered the frantic human onto the cushion, letting the chain mail free from her teeth. He immediately tried to stand and run, falling back onto the cushion after trying his leg again, sucking in air with a pained expression.

“Stay” the dragon instructed simply, heading into her cave to grab medical aid. When she returned with the supplies the human had managed to limp a short distance, but was easily scooped back up with one paw and returned to his seat.

“Smoke or drink?” the dragon asked the squire, who was now too frozen with fear to even tremble under the mighty beast’s gaze.

“Please,” the human cried pitifully, “please spare me!”

“I wouldn’t call letting you hobble around the wilderness alone ‘sparing you’” the dragon said, trying not to sound unkind.

“Now, do you prefer drink or smoke for the pain?”

The human stared blankly back at the dragon, his face a mixture of confusion fear. The dragon waited, but after a pause it was apparent that the human wasn’t likely to respond.

“Both it is.”

The squire almost couldn’t believe his eyes as the dragon’s form diminished to the general stature of a human, even shifting to standing upright on her back legs. The dragon retrieved a bottle of spirits and an old, skillfully carved pipe from the gathered supplies and set the bottle within the squire’s reach before packing the pipe with herb. Holding the pipe in one paw and using the other to shield out the breeze, the dragon blew the fainted flame onto the dry herb. The dragon drew a few puffs from the pipe before placing down next to the spirits, pungent smoke still rising lazily from the faint red embers.

“Do you know if you’re leg’s broken?”

“What?”

“When you tried to run earlier, you got far enough I wouldn’t think there are any actual breaks in your leg.” The dragon got up and went over to a heap of dead branches and logs, selecting a few strait segments of thicker sticks before returning before the unsure squire.
