EXCUSE ME?

[cj-the-random-artist]

Let us dance into the night as the fire rages on....

Gonna add a greyscale version, the sketch this was based on under the cut, but all I really have to say about this is that this is the first time in a long time. Maybe even years. That I've sketched up a simple doodle and had it grab me by the soul and rip and illustration out of me. This is also the first illustration in a long time where I enjoyed the whole process. I also tried different techniques and stuff here and I'm in love with how this turned out actually

But yeah greyscale version and sketch this was based on under the cut

I was gonna add some rambles down here about the way I think about Narinder and the Lamb's dynamic and the stuff going on in the background and other things but after spending like an hour and a half writing and rewriting this caption. Uh. Nevermind lol

Enjoy the chaos that is this drawing and, if you're reading this, may something good happen for you today

It’s been literal years but someone said they liked my old Virgil design and I felt compelled to do an updated take on how I would stylize him. Anyways. My design notes r like: “Hair highlights gotta look like little bat wings. Trust.”

Other personal headcanons/design things:

I think he’s the tallest of the sides, but has a slouching problem and loses like half a foot from it. Part of it is he also feels like he comes off as less intimidating sometimes if he makes himself smaller.

Has eight eyes but covers the smaller ones up with eyeshadow. The ones directly under his “main” eyes are too big/uncomfortable to hide. Despite having so many eyes, his eyesight is actually Quite Bad.

Has heterochromia (the other eyes are green but you can’t tell from this because his bangs are covering them 💀).

Back when he first started showing up in videos, it was because Janus and Remus sent him (their source being it couldn’t be them, bc with Roman and Remus it’s on sight, and the other sides don’t trust a word out of Janus’ mouth). Until then, Virgil had never really interacted with the other Sides. They knew Anxiety was lurking around but had no concept of what he looked like and Virgil Liked It That Way.

Janus and Remus are freaky in their own way but Virgil probably looks the most uncanny of the bunch.

He’s not used to holding a different shape for prolonged periods of time so his energy levels are always Ass.

Logan has noticed this and knows something is going on.

Roman, Post Accepting Anxiety: You know…You look surprisingly normal…I mean you have an extra set of eyes but that’s pretty tame.

Virgil, hiding his extra arms and eyes and mandibles and—: yeah. Haha I’m so normal :) It’s kind of crazy how normal I am actually.

Headcanon i've had for a while now about how minecraft hack clients could work, similar to the headcanons about how in game chat would work.

Just sort of an explanation with some examples, obviously some hacks are pretty hard to translate into a physical thing, but i tried my best. :)

Full text can also be found under read more.

"Hack Clients" are illegal modifications of a player's attire (i.e. player skin) in order to give them an unfair advantage. The visibility of a "Hack Client" modification depends on the server a player is on. On servers such as 2b2t, these modifications are obviously visible while on stricter servers, such as Hypixel, hackers will try to be more subtle, often hiding modifications underneath clothing.

Eyewear: Modified for use of visual hacks (i.e. x-ray. fullbright, esp, etc.), the easiest to hide from moderators.

Footwear: Modified for use of hacks such as Anti-Knockback, High-jump, and other similar hacks.

Mechanical Braces: Used to allow players to move with otherwise impossible reaction times, most often used for PVP. Completely illegal on most servers, players will attempt to hide them underneath clothing but often fail.

Leg brace: Used for b-hopping.

Arm brace: Used for kill-aura and aimbot.

I discovered these paintings by James McNeill Whistler recently, Nocturne in Black and Gold: Falling Rocket (top) and Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Firewheel (bottom). I’m sharing them because they make me think of Nevermoor, as so many things do.

With paintings, a nocturne refers to the depiction of night. This is derived from the musical term, where a nocturne refers to a musical piece that is “inspired by, or evocative of, the night.” These both just come from the fact that “nocturne” essentially means “of the night”.

On a basic level, this just reminds me of Nevermoor by the aesthetics. The dreamy nighttime setting strikes me the most, but also the sparks of yellow fire that make me think of Wunder. Think of how many important scenes happen at night- Morrigan on Eventide, the Museum of Stolen Moments, and the Hollowpox in Courage Square. But the concept has me thinking, obviously, about the Wundrous Art of Nocturne. The only songs we know are Morrigan and Squall’s, who both chose nursery rhymes as their Nocture. Their choices make me think of lullabies, sung at night… and there’s lots to think about with that.

What is time princess about? I've been seeing it on the Play store but I have no idea if to download it

hello anon! I'd be glad to give you an overview and some tips for starting out! :D

Time Princess is what happens when all your childhood dreams of getting transported into a book come true.

At heart, the game is a set of continual isekai stories, transporting you to different "books" with the help of a magic desk and giving you "create your own adventure" options to see how the story plays out.

Your fairy companion Isabelle helps you learn the ropes, and you have to go through one mandatory book (a Marie Antoinette themed story) to get access to your room and the larger bookstore

(I'll put the rest under a read more bc it'll get long)

For each chapter you complete, you earn 1-3 tickets. With these tickets, you can unlock new books! The more you play, the more you earn towards new stories.

The game currency works on a coins and diamonds system--you don't NEED to purchase anything to play (though it may make the game a bit easier in some areas)

You get free stamina to access books and crafting materials every 11 hours and the Time Princess discord server has codes pretty frequently for diamonds, tickets, etc.

I personally splurge for the Fashion Booster every 2 months because I know it helps support the game and the artists! I try not to use real money on the random outfits unless I REALLY want one bc it can get addictive.

One of my favorite parts of the game is that, as you play, you unlock "album" art (full color illustrations that tie into the story!!)

One other thing I love is that the game is very targeted towards Bisexuals, as there are TONS of queer wlw story lines (though because of the games' popularity overseas and censorship, often gets called "best friends" etc)

Another fun part is the variety of stories!!!! There's art history!! There's stuff based on old fairy tales like Swan Lake. There's fantasy stories like The Apothecary. There's a Pirate story!!! There's Chinese, Japanese, and Korean stories. There's a western cowboy story! There's futuristic scifi!!! There's a victorian flavored horror story!!!

Most, if not all, of the stories are with adult characters and have adult storylines!! (the books will also give you a content warning before downloading)

On top of the stories, there's plenty of other fun aspects--mini games, fashion challenges, checking in with your companions every day to earn crafting materials, joining a society, playing events, and just playing dress up with your outfits and taking pics for fun.

The discord community is great too, and there's often interview nights with some of the book authors and giveaways of materials and prizes (I actually ended up winning a plushie Lafayette one time!)

The discord server also has game guides and walkthroughs for everything!

Everyone who plays the game gets really into the stories and characters, so even though the tumblr presence of fans may be smaller, you have an immediate bond with the other players!!!

They've also done some really cool collabs with museums like The Louvre and the Flamenco museum. You get to earn clothes from famous paintings or historical ones during that event period!

Finally, don't forget to save your big clothing crafting for Saturdays! You get double the materials!!

Kill your demons, Kill 'em dead in your mirror, in your bed, in your heart, in your head Don't you look good in red Slay your devils, Kill 'em all, Take your throne, Paint the walls, And if you make it out alive, Hold that bloody head up high

Good in Red

-The Midnights

Artists commentary below the cut

First off, here's the song:

Red version, anyway let's speedrun the symbolisms:

The sword of justice is Apollo and Trucy flavored with the eyes and the diamonds, also the guard is supposed to resemble the scales of justice. There's also Apollo's bracelet and Kazuma's hachamaki, I felt like including a bit of him for the vibes. The halo of stars is used as a crown of immortality which goes with Phoenix's whole thing.

different version of the halo, more sharp and stabby and feathery. Anyway, I wanna ramble about what I was going to do with the background. So, with the theme of 'Kill your demons' I was going to try to include the silhouettes of heads on spears of the people that Phoenix dethroned, like Redd White, Manfred von Karma, Damon Gant, Matt Engarde, and Dahlia Hawthorne. As you can tell, that didn't pan out and no matter how I tried to work it, it didn't look good so I just didn't do it lol. Also, I guess the heads on spears would've gone past the point of being a little too gruesome for me, just in general.

This whole piece is based on one of the many paintings of Judith slaying Holofernes, which is why this specifically takes place in my Fem!Phoenix AU, I thought it hit harder, especially after learning about the version by Artemisia Gentileschi that's implied to be inspired by her own sexual assault. While I followed the versions where it's mostly just 'pretty lady holding a head', her version was more brutal and actually depicting the act of beheading Holofernes which was rad as hell. I just liked the Perseus and Medusa-esque pose of triumph more in the end.

My initial inspiration was Perseus and Medusa but then I stumbled upon the absolute tsunami of Baroque and Renaissance art depicting Judith and Holofernes and I just went crazy. Sure there's the whole vibe of 'cutting off the head of the snake' but there's like one statue of Perseus and it's not very interesting but people really went off on Judith. I love you women committing righteous acts of violence, and obviously, so many painters had the same thought bc holy shit.

And I drew the whole sword of justice and was only a little lazy with the blade because I knew it would be completely hidden

pretty people downtown | k.sn

pick your poison — love, lust, passion. who knows what i did it for?

a/n: this is my take on the stereotypical femme fatale role for sunoo <3. i don't really see anyone writing him with such a character yet it fits him so well! manipulative sexy sunoo should be something we explore more ;)

wc: ~800

warnings/notes: gender neutral!reader, extremely flirty sunoo, lots of nicknaming (sweetheart, honey, etc.), discussion about crimes, slightly suggestive

"kim sunoo, age 21. born in south korea, moved to LA when he was 10. his family history is largely unknown. he's listed as unemployed, but he's been seen around many bars downtown with men and women alike."

god, you might have a big case on your hands right now. and it all came wrapped with a ribbon nicely for you, in the form a blonde young man, sitting elegantly in the interrogation room.

you huff, trying to amp yourself up for a tough mental fight coming ahead. there's no saying on how much he'll talk, so you might end up in there for a long time. nothing rousing in this line of work, you suppose.

checking all your files are present, everything in place, you walk towards the door and get interrupted right before that knob tweaks open. "detective, you know he might be just the one we're looking for." you glance back at your colleague. "be careful, y/n. he's not gentle as you think he is."

_

"kim sunoo. do you know why you're here today?"

the blank face finally turns to you, perhaps getting some interest in you and your words. those eyes, they bore into you relentlessly and glisten with intrigue.

and he slumps back into the chair.

seriously, is he going to play the silent game?

you had to get something out of this beauty today, no matter what it took. so you continued, "sunoo-ssi. this isn't a laughing matter. you've been accused as a suspect for multiple connected murders. you could end up behind bars for decades."

he immediately shoots his arrow: "the only place i'll like to end up is in someone's bed, preferably yours."

"e-excuse me?" saving yourself from choking from his bold words, you would've never expected this pretty boy's first words to be like this.

what are you thinking, he isn't pretty! he's a suspect for god's sake, get your head in the game...

well, his outfit doesn't help his case. he's in an all black ensemble: a tight fitting turtle neck, a black skirt and fish nets. his earlobes, neck, fingers all adorned with various silver accessories. who dresses like this anymore? it's 2pm for heaven's sake, you think it's more likely to see someone like this at 2am.

sunoo hums, inching closer and closer to you. even if he looks slightly cute with his chubby cheeks and pale skin, you can't shake off the constant uneasiness that he gives you. this man is dangerous - you conclude, why does one singular person give you such the creeps that gnaws at you consistently?

"you can stop trying to read me sugar, it won't work."

"i wasn't—"

"shhh. honey, sometimes beautiful people look the prettiest when they don't open their mouth, hm?"

immediately, your body betrays itself as you feel your cheeks heating up to a crimson red. you hesitate at the finger pressed on your lips right now, mouth sealed shut. is it even normal to feel this flustered when you get complimented by a criminal?

he doesn't even care. he doesn't care that he's sitting in an investigation room, with possibly heaps of crimes stacked up against him. that he may very well end up in jail, with a criminal record, guilty of all the most heinous crimes. he doesn't care — and that annoys you to no end.

all kim sunoo cares about is getting into your pants?

this sly, seductive son of a bitc—

"tell me, y/n. what makes you think i came here to confess a crime?"

...he knows your name.

creepy, you admit. most people who sit in that chair usually want nothing to deal with you, and yet sunoo himself has defied all expectations in the first 10 minutes of meeting him.

"y-you... you think you're innocent? don't lie, sunoo-ssi. it's not a good track record."

"oh but i have a clear one. you have nothing on me, don't you? don't fool me with those thick files. i know the laws inside out, y/n." he spits.

"you've clearly been looking everywhere for your suspect, and suddenly one shows up at your doorstep? come on sweetheart, i know you're smarter than this. i've only appeared because i wanted to." he scoffs, gazing into the one way glass behind you. "it's just amusing watching your team run around in circles before you closed this case cold."

this man's domineering aura is glowing brighter and brighter every second, even though you thought he was already intimidating when you first walked in. it feels like a prey getting trapped in their own trap. you've made one for kim sunoo, so why does it feel like you're the one losing and drowning?

you drop speechless on your seat, unable to find an answer for his little monologue.

"though... you're a fairly beautiful person, love. i wouldn't mind talking to you afterwards, hm? wouldn't you love to know what happens when i mingle with pretty people downtown?"

Thief Tracking

@bexmuses

Of Course, Impa had been more Concerned about Zelda's safety then the treasury. even if the field and moat somehow kept most out the castle, the vaults were better guarded then the young hero could say Zelda was, as far as the normal soldiers went. So when he snuck in to see one of the few people he could genuinely talk with about some of his adventures, only to find out the Lens of Truth he'd returned to Impa had been stolen...

Safe to say, Link had to blink the ice out of his eyes. The Lens was a mighty tool, and not something some thief or Worse needed to own. It was a no-brainer to offer to hunt it down and get it (and the other stolen treasures) back.

There was a silent gratitude between them that the Ocarina was nowhere to be snatched at the time. That was safe and secure in his pouch. There wasn't much of a description to go by,a side from rounded ears, but it was no Gerudo. After all, the only Gerudo Male was in no position to be causing any sort of problems right now.

Granted, the mission itself was... taking a bit longer then Link had anticipated. this thief covered his tracks well, but not perfectly. not many camped in the wilds of Hyrule, and fewer still would have let smoke signal where they were to the creatures of the night. One of the few trees in the fields- Link had hopped off Epona behind a hill form where he'd seen the smoke, and was walking on his own boots. one thing about being a teenager was that most underestimated him, and the sword he strapped to his back as just show.

Surely this would be an instance of the same.

Anyways, if he was wrong, Link didn't want to come out bows drawn. traveling merchants were a thing, after all, but as it was his gut told him otherwise. So, hands empty, and expression steely, Link approached the lone campfire as the sun began to turn the sky such vibrant hues. a scan of the campsite definitely told him this was no merchant: there was no merchandise. It could still just be a traveler passing through.

Still.

That didn't mean he'd verbally announce himself in his approach, even if he was walking out in the open.

THE SOUND AND LIGHTING WHEN DARK SONIA SHOWS UP

[valleynix]

Feel free to ignore this isn’t ur style but how would you write the dimitrescus’ reactions to seeing someone harm their s/o

wait i love this

Alcina

expect death if she sees it happening with her own eyes

she is not a very forgiving woman, so someone harming her S/O results in a swift yet painful death

the moment she sees the maid lay her hands on you is the moment her fate is decided

she doesn't know what you did - though, knowing you, it was hardly anything deserving of a reaction such as that - but she comes to your defense immediately

the maid is grabbed and lifted into the air by her neck, and Alcina's claws make an appearance as she snarls at the woman

she hears none of the apologies that spill from the woman's lips, her rage completely blinding her as all she sees is red

she's stopped by you tugging on her dress and claiming it was an accident, and for the moment, she relents with a simple deep slice to the woman's cheek

she doesn't really want you to see that part of her, even if you know, and so she abides by your silent requests

later that night, however, after she's ensured you're safe and feel comfortable, that you aren't harmed beyond belief (so dramatic), she finds the maid

or, rather, she has Bela do it, and she merely meets her eldest in the cellar after you've settled and she knows you're well asleep

it is a slow death for the maid, and she is gone by the time the sun is peeking over the large mountains surrounding the castle

Alcina dislikes setting an example for her staff, as she knows it lowers morale, but she needs the others to be aware that you are off-limits

Bela

she enjoys the long game of tormenting someone mentally

she often studies people for any mental weaknesses they may have, and while she is just as ferocious as her sisters, she prefers getting to her prey when they are at their lowest

so, the moment she sees the maid lay her hands on you... well, the woman's fate was sealed at the mere thought of harming you

she doesn't outright punish the maid; no, she ensures you're all right and separates you, but she does not touch the maid, even telling her sisters to leave her alone

that should have been enough of a warning that she was starting her game

Bela already knew the moment was coming, and while she doesn't like seeing you hurt, she was curious if the maid would actually go through with it

she bides her time, often giving the maid little bonuses or extra food, claiming it was a reward

she's friendly and kind

anytime the incident is brought up, she brushes it off as a mere accident, and she takes this time to study the maid and learn more about her

there comes a time when she realizes the maid has lowered her guard almost completely; she no longer fears having her heart torn out of her chest for offending a Dimitrescu, and that is when Bela strikes

she approaches the maid one evening while she's focused on sweeping the floor, keeping her footfalls silent as she unsheathes the sickle at her waist

suffice to say, she and her sisters had a wonderful meal that evening, and when you asked about why blood was messed around her face and throat, she just smiled and claimed there was an accident

Cassandra

you wanted death? you're getting death

she's probably the worst person you could ever offend, mostly because doing so means your death will be dragged out for days

she sees almost everything that goes on around the castle, the sulking bastard, and she knows where you are even without being nearby (thank one of her little flies watching after you)

it's no surprise she found out very quickly some maid testing her luck had put her hands on you, making the rookie mistake of assuming Cassandra was not watching over you while parted

she left her spot writing down more interesting things she'd found about her latest victim the moment she heard your yelp of pain, her heart dropping to her stomach at the sound

she doesn't want to ever hear such a thing come from you, and while she'll never admit it, she is terrified of losing you after finally letting herself care for someone that isn't her family

you're shoved behind her as soon as she gets to you in record speed, her sickle already flying through the air as the hilt knocks against the maid's temple hard

she does a quick check to make sure you're all right and you don't need her to stay with you the rest of the day before dragging the limp body down to the cellar

the maid's death is a very, very long one, and it is quite gruesome

Cassandra Dimitrescu will do anything to protect her family, despite how she is now looked upon by the staff

it doesn't matter to her, so long as you and her sisters/mother are safe

Daniela

it's pretty hard to get on her bad side, considering she's a bit of a people-pleaser, but the moment someone is, she becomes a terrible version of herself

it's not that this fact even surprises anyone; most of the staff already know how unstable she can be at times and how much her loved ones spoil her

it's even harder to separate the two of you, but on the day she was helping Bela and Cassandra in the cellar, she skips back upstairs with blood on her face and on her dress, only to see a maid put their hands on you

she's kind of a mix between her sisters when it comes to chasing her prey; a bit of mental torment here, a little physical aggression there...

she's overly friendly to the maid after she sees the incident, pretending she didn't even witness anything as she grins and holds you tightly in her arms

she's not very patient, though, and her gifts and false kind words can only get her so far when the maid is already suspicious of the behavior

that's when she starts getting a bit more physical; her hand gripping the maid's shoulder too harshly, moving her cloak back so her sickle is apparent at her waist, playing with a knife at the dining hall table while her eyes are locked onto the maid...

she'd probably end up finally going after the woman one night when everyone else is asleep, humming a quiet tune to herself as she swings her sickle around and around down the hallways

she likely would have requested a late-night meeting under the guise of one of her sisters or even her mother to discuss her work ethic, only for the maid to be met with a very angry Daniela with wide and manic eyes

if you happen to ask her about it, she'll kiss wherever you were harmed and inform you with a smile that the maid was simply sent to another territory for her behavior to be corrected
