Just a random question but what was your very first ship?

Can’t even say for certain because it’s been like 20 years already lol But the first one that I called a ship would probably be Cedric/Phobos from W.I.T.C.H.

Look at me loving backstabbing scheming douchebags since day one…

hi i sent the cat dad ask, that was the CUTEST thing i’ve ever read in my entire life it was adorable and everything and more than what i’d hoped for omg!! my flowers are watered, my skin is clear, my illness is cure😭😭😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

idia being the most enamored cat dad is so cute AAUGGHHH i think lilia would make matching outfits for him and his cat, maybe with pop music club’s help. vil cooking for his cat!!! 😭😭😭 oh his pretty kitty would have their own engraved bowl. i think vil would send so many pictures to his dad

all of this is extra cute to me with the idea that i had that these strays are probably leading difficult lives on the streets but aren’t scared of humans. it’d be a “to be loved is to be changed” moment (pls look it up it’s before and afters of sad cats and it’s SO CUTE). ok i’m sorry i’ll stop haranguing you about cats JSKDKDKS THANK YOU AGAIN

Aah, it was you, Shroudswap Anon!!

I am very happy you liked the post, once again thank you for the ask! <3 It really was a lovely one to write! Somehow, it’s easier to write wholesome stuff about boys caring for animals than for each other lol

But also, what have you done, now I’m thinking about Vil sending cat pics to his dad… His dad became a grandpa the day that cat chose Vil as his human lol I’m sure he is going to send them even more gifts than Vil buys for the cat + spoil the cat rotten as much as he can.

But also, what have you done [2], now I’m also thinking about how these strays would be so much happier and healthier with the boys taking care of them :( To be loved is to be changed indeed!! Just look at Jamil smiling to his cat lol

I’m always happy to talk about cats…

Sister Idia must be the very image of a saint with his ethereal glow. Nevermind that the glow is coming from his hair, that's just a physical manifestation of God's grace, obviously.

Also be honest, are the sick nuns getting a healthy diet of shrooms in the infirmary? I guess that's one way to experience mystical ecstasy

(related to our new AU)

The symbolism is all here, Anon! That imagery suits Idia so well. I really want to draw him holding a lamb or something lol

To answer your question… people say that sister Jade cares for the sick ones so well that whenever it’s their time to go, they always die smiling <3 It’s like their pain just went away and they fell asleep peacefully~

So yes, he does feed them with stuff they’re not quite supposed to eat and add some funky additions to the stuff he injects them with lol

m1lk-n-cook1es asked:

The nun au reminds me of a Little Mermaid fanfic from the same author as "Once Upon A Nightmare" that I told you a while back, where mermaids are more inhuman, with tentacles that look like fins in the distance, claws and fangs, and Ariel banging Eric (who is a trans guy) and impregnating him with her eggs

Dark themes and mermaids are always fun!! In fact, I think people should consider merpeople to be dangerous more often lol

Fun idea for a fic though :) Poor Eric lol

Anonymous asked:

I saw your Gidel and Fellow doodle on your twitter about the name change and I LOVE THAT SO MUCH cause I'm also thinking the same thing 🤣

"It's for our disguise Giddy!~" 🦊

Everyone calls him all sort of different names, Fellow said so himself (Episode 1-3) 😆

This bitch probably has done a lot of name changes for his con jobs n shit. (¬‿¬) 💚

(referring to this sketch from a 🔑twt acc, since it’s not for ko-fi and just a shitpost, here you go. He can’t even read the papers...)

Thank you Anon!! <3 Just like any other person I really hate that name change, but thinking about Fellow having lots of different names pacifies me a little bit lol Well, at least it makes me laugh and not want to break walls.

I wonder if Fellow has a guy that helps him out with fake ids… maybe his bosses make it easier for him these days; he probably used to go to various shady people before. But then again, they probably don’t always need to have papers… just come up with a name and go! Right, Ernesto? Good grief…

tardigrade-misfit asked:

Silver looks so adorable in his lil hoodie meanwhile Sebek looks like he only agreed to wear it because it was Malleus themed lol

(related to this post)

Thank you! Yeah, Silver is a cutie pie, as always lol Sebek should wear that hoodie with pride! He is closer to his beautiful waka-sama with those little horns on his hood.

I love these hoodies a lot; they are from that one drawing that Yana did of Diasomnia boys going to a movie theater. Katsu and I both are so obsessed with it; they look so adorable wearing those! I wish Yana did more sketches with characters hanging out like that, but of course I am grateful for everything she already does…

Anonymous asked:

I saw the latest comic about Gidel and Fellow Honest (I refuse to use the English names) on kofi and I think I have a proposition. I’ll be their sugar whatever but I get to touch their fuzzy ears now and again. Do you think they’d accept my terms?

Since we got this ask the same day we posted previously mentioned sketch (also a comic), I assumed you were referring to this one as well, but come to think about it we did have a Gidel and Fellow comic posted on ko-fi the other week…

Regardless! I think you absolutely should be their sugar whatever (… parent?), their sponsor and their financier lol Fellow will refuse at first, but it’s just because he is a bit prideful; maybe after some fuzzy ear touching he’ll reconsider. Keep petting the fox! The little cat will help you.

Thoughts I had during TGCF S2 Ep 2

Also watching this while sketching now here we go!

Previously on TGCF… 

-And starting off at the Gambler’s Den!

-Hey you’ve heard the old saying, “It costs an arm and a leg” I think this fits perfectly for the red demon masked gambler

-Hey! No getting sweat on the gambling table!

-Hua Cheng: No Thanks~ *fans myself with a hand*

-Yeah those are the best house policies San Lang

-Man, the loop braided ghost assistant is literally all of us fawning over Hualian amirite? (that Ghost maiden is going places!)

-This den operates on Hubris Logic

-Stop decreasing your child’s lifespan!

-Now Roll!  That just made think of DND, I dunno why

-Those dice weren’t loaded (Anybody seen Road to El Dorado 10/10 totes recommend)

-Worst dad I’ve ever seen and he’s just a gambling NPC

-Hehehe Just imagine Toph in the Gambler’s Den (For those anticipating The Scrap Immortal and the Avatar, I’m afraid that’s going to be a scene that won’t come to fruition, really sry readers)

-“It’s despicable, and that’s coming from a ghost like me” that was a really great quote ngl

-Kinda hard to accomplish since you were talking to a ghost

-Yep prolly the worst Dad I’ve ever seen in all of TGCF

-Hi Rouye

-Hi Windmaster

-Honestly, the reason they have Qingxuan switch from Male to female in this season is that from a Union Standpoint, they had to allow Anjali Kunapaneni dub other series while Jacob Eiseman took over and vice versa.  That’s just my theory, I’m not sure if it might be true.

-Aw, he’s worried over his complexion

-Man, Xie Lian’s expression shifts as he inspects Qinqxuan’s complexion.  I love that little attention to detail in the animation.

-And then Qingxuan happily exclaims while putting both hands on his cheek was 100% precious!

-“If I were a mirror where would I be” they have the best lines of this Season 2 so far!

-Wind Master laugh is clearing my pores

-Hi Qianqiu, Hi Mengyou

-Not so smart to me

-All the ghosts have really unique and distinct designs (it’s that kind of uniqueness I’m trying so hard to capture in my TOH Oc murder mystery au)

-“Aw man!  What was his number!  Not cool Taihua!” - Literally every ghost in the Gambler’s den, and also me.

-Well, you’re not wrong, Qianqiu

-Hehehe the double facepalm XD

-Not the brightest candle on the altar

-Let’s face it, we all lost it during Hua Cheng soft chuckle!

- He noticed the laugh!

-Man the background ghost voices are on point

-And I’m like at Qingxuan, “You didn’t read the signs?” Does anybody other than the ghosts, read the signs???

-“He might be fine if he doesn’t reveal who he is” Qianqiu: *reveals who he is* Too soon dude

-That blue masked ghost woman sure has sass

-That blue beaked ghost also has a cool design tho

-Don’t mind me just fanning myself whenever Hua Cheng speaks cause it gives me the vapors~!

-The fact that they thought the same thing!

-No not the gambling table!  

-Woah he sent it right back!

-This is infinitely better than the live action martial acts films I’ve seen in my whole life

-It’s like a stake raising tennis match

-That glow in his eyes

-He’s going Super Saiyan

-That animation really did get better

-“He’s stuck up there!” My comment: “Like a fly on fly paper” My sister’s comment: “Like an idiot on idiot paper” lmao

-Yep just point and laugh ghosts, point and laugh

-You mean from bad to worse

-I told you Ghost City’s the Las Vegas of Ancient China, told ya~

-A new table!

-You’re not wrong on luck

-Snake eyes is even worse

-“Like I said, biggest is so overdone!  Crazy idea, what if smallest wins? Sound fun?”  Qingxuan is spitting bars in the dub people!

-They’re just gonna believe that from two newcomers?

-Xie Lian, internally chanting: “Small…small…small…” His cursed and horrible misfortune: LOL nope :3

-Not your fault for looking like a snack Qianqiu

-Wait till you see the fandom, Taihua

-Alright, hat got Hua Cheng enticed

-Literally everybody witnessing a man in white robes desperately shake a pair of dice: Is…that guy ok?

-His smile widened!

-“I can’t watch!”  I can and it’s gonna be something!

-Oh he sees a lot in that raggedy jerk than you do right now buddy

-“What’s there to teach about shaking dice?  It’s just shakin dice!”  The best random quote of this episode, and the tone when that side character said it!

-“And you’re the expert!” He got sassed back

-*Hears Hong Lian Qian starting up like* Aw yeah, the best song of the new season! *Vibes out with writing and sketching like no tomorrow*

-Dude! Pass me the Aux cord!  You better not be playing mainstream garbage!  *Casually plays Hong Lian Qian like a G!*  WOO!!!

-There he is, just a red transparent curtain keeps them apart, also Hua Cheng’s status but let’s not get ahead of ourselves

-The wind animation!!!, and Wind master’s not even summoning it

-Literally when my older sister first saw this scene she was like: It’s the pottery scene from Ghost

-He rolled an 11!

-If my underaged TGCf OCs witness the infamous dice scene like in season 2, Qing Tao and Chun Xue(both 12) look up to their older friends: “..ssShould we be listening to this?”  And then Lan Hai and Nuan Yu (both 14) frantically respond with covering their younger friends’ ears: “…pProbably best if we played it safe.” (Quotes are from an episode of Close Enough) heck I can imagine the Gaang reacting like this witnessing the dice shaking too, just swap Qing Tao and Chun Xue with Aang and Toph, and Lan Hai and Nuan Yu with Sokka and Katara, (Zuko would also try to cover the Southern Water Tribe Sibs’ ears, but this hypothetical scene also won’t happen in my TGCF x ATLA xover, now back to the reaction!)

-The singing really is timed well with the animation!  10/10 baby!

-“You see, it’s bigger now” …I got the joke

-“It’s starting to feel like San Lang is just teasing me” Oh yes he is~

-They’re chucking their dice at him!

-It’s a 10!

-“Now I’m sure San Lang is just teasing me”  Told ya~

-The chibi scene!

-Welp, looks like those rolls were just practice rolls

-You gotta love Xie Lian’s internal monologue

-Qingxuan chucked his fan at Taihua, and it came back like Sokka’s boomerang (I had to make that reference!)

-That tapir/baku headed Ghost

-It’s a 12, and it timed well with the rising crescendo!

-That one monkey like ghost

-Right on the gambling table!

-Did he cheat?

-The music change!!!  The soundtrack team knew what they were doing!

-“Who cares it’s gorgeous!  He’s so handsome I think I might just die right here!”  “What are you talking about?  You’re already dead!”  That was a really great exchange!

-And he is seeing his real face!

-“Please my lord don’t tease me!”  Oh yes he will~!

-Now the ghosts are suspicious it took em like half an episode!

-Hey guys I think we’re all gonna get a kick outta this, “The stale half eaten bun from Ep 5 was in Xie Lian’s sleeve the whole time!”  I’ve always wanted to quote that, and it was totally worth it!

-Man, I can’t wait to write Aang’s reaction seeing Xie Lian and Hua Cheng interact together!

-“Um, I’m afraid it’s gotten a bit hard” Yep, they slipped that in, and James was a boss at writing the whole english script for the season

-He tosssed the bun up and down like San Lang did with a small piece of a broken sword in S1 Ep 6, the parallels people!  The parallels!!!

-And him biting the stale bun got XL all flustered! AAAHH!!!

-Look at him go!

-Not that random stand, wait it’s still in tact

-Slay that performance Qingxuan!

-Chide him good!

-And Xie Lian’s still does a great job as a strategizer and a mediator

-The introduction that would change the season forever, also Qingxuan’s emotion shift when it came to describing his new friend’s current occupation with collecting scraps as a living

-He knew San Lang was Hua Cheng?!?!?!

-Hua Cheng is messing with them!

-They’re using him as bait!

-Oh yeah, that’s right, they’re friends

-Geez savage, Wind master

-Hey, no dissing Ling Wen she’s doing her best!

-Gone from Season 1 eps 2-3 and Ling Wen still couldn’t find him???

-Welp, there’s the cliffhanger

Does this reaction count for Hua Cheng’s B-Day?  More reactions will be on the way, I’ve got 3 weeks left of my quarter and I’ve got two big projects to finish so hang tight everyone!

Lore Clues! Or well... *clue* more like it

Wow, I have... not really opened up tumblr to do much of anything, let alone post any stuff in a good long while. So... uh... hi! How's it going fellow theorists? Missed making theories and posting them. I have read the comics of Altrverse but right now it's a jumbled mess in my head about it. We went from basically zero information on Marvin and Jackie to quite an overwhelming amount of it with, of course, questions still rearing from them. And I'm looking at all the strings and wondering where the hell to start with them. But today, tonight (whenever I post this thing), we're not talking about these two.

No, today for however long I can keep talking about this is our good lovable boi, JJ.

Because... THIS from @turquoisemagpie (lovely artwork as always!) has a clue in here~ (thanks to @septicuniverse for sharing this with me and the comics!)

There's probably other clues in other artwork before, I'm not sure, this was only brought to my attention like... an hour ago? So yeah. Good ol' JJ, we miss you buddy. BUT can you see the clue? If the answer is

These badges, then you are correct, friend!

These are in fact IRIS badges! On uniforms. That JJ is making, I guess? Is he really making these? Because I can see the little puppets at the bottom of the artwork, so making tiny matching uniforms for them? Or are they using his sewing skills with making clothes for the puppets of his shows to make the uniforms for IRIS? Which then begs the question... does JJ work for IRIS or is he creating it? Or at least helping in creating the company if he is making the IRIS uniforms? I mean IRIS got its start LONG ago. (Since how can we forget that IRIS's science is keeping chicken dinners so fresh it still clucks!)

There are other questions I have about the piece that I haven't... quite asked myself yet. Like, why is the door cracked open like that? For the lighting maybe? Can't exactly sew in the dark, but then what closet wouldn't have it's down light source? Because the room is pretty well lit, so why have the door there open like that? And the wall in the hallway (if it is a hallway) seems similar to the walls of the facility Chase was brought to in AF:CB but... having looked at the video for a quick assessment, those walls don't have tiles like that. So not the same building exactly... but then again we are talking about timelines so -shrug-. But there is one other thing that has bothered me about this art piece, not in a bad way but more of curious. I am well aware this could be absolutely nothing and I'm overthinking it from having just read the new issue of the comics today with a friend, that I'm just super excited for things.

But, does anyone else... notice these lines?

They're outlines of the tops of the tables.

Again, I'm aware that these could just be leftover sketch lines from the drawing process before outlining the piece to color and thus means absolutely nothing. I just... I just can't help but notice... how crisp they are. Like they were outlined but faded out to make them transparent, but still visible enough to see it clearly. Even zoomed out I can still seem them, so that's why I don't know if it was intentional to be that noticeable or it really is just leftovers. I just thought it was very interesting to see them so had to point them out. And no, this isn't a jab at Magpie's artwork, I have nothing but awe, love and respect for them. Because holy hell, just look at this skill! So for fun, even if the lines have no meaning whatsoever, kinda wanted to say that with the lines there, makes the room feel unstable temporally and with the table in the back behind JJ, makes feel like he's a ghost or fading in and out of Time. lol Dunno if it is him or just the closet being funky with Time. Either way its cool.

Taanishi! Hiya! I figured it might be a bit of fun to see some of the process of creating my weird little goober - the sabroonor! (tumblr post, toyhouse page)

I don't know if my process is very interesting, especially with this guy as I somehow managed to lock in on a design that I liked pretty quickly, but I'll try to share what I can!

I started out by making a pinterest board (two, actually, as I initially thought I would do the will-o-the-wisp category ^^;;) and collecting inspiration of some different critters and vibes that matched the theme. There are so many fun desert animals.... I'll have to do some more creature design at some point :c]

The main starting inspiration for this monster was Plains bison! This summer I got to visit Wanuskewin Heritage Park and saw bison in person for the first time (they've recently (2019) been reintroduced back into that area in large part thanks to the efforts of the local indigenous peoples)! Lii bufloo (bison) have an important history with Métis people and other Turtle Island Indigenous peoples, and these animals have been on my mind since the summer.

I've always been interested and awed at the way animals are part of and integral to their ecosystems (including humans!) and the way animals shape their environment, so learning about bison wallows was super exciting and really stuck out to me amongst all the other information I learned. I hope I was able to share some of my excitement using this design!

Here's my initial sketches that I made at the beginning of the month! (along with my first thoughts to a friend about the goober)

After that, I took to my sketchbook to work on the design a little more - I have an easier time sketching traditionally! After figuring out the general idea of the shapes I wanted to use, I switched back to digital and worked on some sketches to really nail down the proportions I wanted to use.

I experimented with some colours, and didn't feel like they worked well - I'd been trying to keep in mind that mammals can't naturally produce certain pigments (or so I've read recently LOL, not entirely sure if it's really true or not!) so I was trying to stick to warmer colours. Eventually I broke out of that rule and tried using some other colours from the Desert Oasis theme image, and turned the tail into a cactus (along with adding flower petals to mimic a cactus flower)!

On the 18th, I worked on the skeletal structure of the guy - taking inspiration from raccoons, bison, and armadillos! I had played around with some skeletal sketches earlier, but none of them really addressed (or worked with) HOW this guy curls up into such a tight ball. Took a little bit of finagling (and reference of this image and this image) but I got there eventually!

(I also figured out the name on this day - I just brainstormed some of my favourite features and what I consider its most distinctive features and put together a name using Michif words that I felt fit together well based on those features.)

After that, it was time for needlefelting! I hadn't felted anything in a couple years (except for a little heart for a doll/plushie I made back in May LOL) so it was a bit touch-and-go for the first day or two, but I was able to pick it back up again without too much issue.

I used the skeleton art to create the right proportions for the wire armature! I've already made a post showing some of the needlefelting process, but feel free to ask questions if you're interested in any of it!

Once the little man was finished (Thursday night), I quickly set up a little makeshift photography shoot outside on Friday afternoon before the sun went down, and put together the images on this lovely website. I'll spare you the tale of the woeful struggles I had trying to get the files to be a manageable size without looking awful LOL, but eventually I got the two gifs made! (This was also my first attempt at making a stop-motion animation, it was super fun to try out! I definitely want to do some more with it at some point ^-^)

I uploaded everything to toyhouse and compiled all the notes I'd made about his design, finishing the submission and handing it in about an hour before they closed ^^;;

Also a little bonus: Sabroonor is pronounced "sah-broon-noor" with a slightly rolled r in "broon". Kiiyaamayow ishaayow is pronounced "kee-YAH-mah-yow ish-SHY-yow" (Southern Michif is written using a phonetics system since it was not a written language until preservation efforts were put into place).

[a-flux-uchiha]

Spent a month staring despairingly at these poses, and then spent like a week with my sister @whatevenisavalidname (who is far more experienced in art stuff) fixing them and actually finishing the art pieces. Ah the joys of art.

Details under a readmore so this doesn’t get out of hand.

Number 1

I actually finished this one last lol. It had remarkably few issues and I only needed a bit of help working out how the spider went. And making sure it looked right. It’s the only one where she’s on something instead of being in the air, fun. This one she has visible claws, so that’s fun. I started drawing the claws in at a later date so only a few of these have claws. We can say the ones that don’t have it were from before The Incident.

Number 2

This was the first one that got claws actually. Not too many comments on it other then it looks neat and the webbing was a pain. and the hands. Especially that back one. It turned out nice though, so I'm glad. So many pretty stars in the background. Very nice.

Number 3

I drew this one without assistance, it was the only one done before I got my sibling to help me, and I vaguely regret that. The arm should be a bit shorter to bring the hand in line with the legs and the upper calf is too short and needed to be lengthened, but its fine, its fine. Hands don't look that awful, and neither do the feet, and y'know it looks neat, so we're good, its fine.

Number 4

Finished this one second last, so it also has visible claws, good for her. Caught mid swinging, has visible bottom of the feet. I was somewhat tempted to make the bottoms pink and then decided against it. Only pose where we see her left hip, so we can see the origin point of the leg webs. Yeah no hand or feet comments, they went fine.

Number 5

I specifically moved the arm so that the hand was hidden behind the leg and frankly, no regrets. Yeah no big comments on this, it looks neat. Also has visible claws. On the one hand you can see anyway. I do like the silver and orange cast of additions added to this one, and the second one, the orange from the city lights below, the silver from the moon. Looks neat. Gives a very nice ambiance.

Number 6

This had a different pose in the initial sketch, its one of two that did, but I gave up on that sketch and ended up with this pose instead. The general idea of the pose didn't change too much, but this one looks much better. This one also has visible claws, and yes my sister assisted a heck tonne with the hands. Blame her for the functional hands. I can draw two hand poses and its straight out and flat and then set on a hip. Fists are not on that list, but I did a grand total of 3 fists in this picture set and its all her fault. The circle around her was an orange one and then I turned down the opacity and now it looks like that, and I like it. I think it looks really cool. Plus the rainbow background of course. And all the little tiny buildings.

Number 7

This one didn't change much, didn't need much help either. I have no excuse for the back hand, but I do appreciate the feet. We see the return to no claws this time, poor dear. Looks pretty cool though. I like this background too.

Number 8

Final one! Glad you made it this far. Mai looks particularly buff in this one because my sister so thoughtfully re-did the sketch for me, and she's very good at buff people(Go check her out cowards). It's okay Mai deserves to be buff. Like number 6 the general idea of the pose is the same, it just looks better now. Ignore how the inner left leg on this one and on the 7th contradict each other in design. It's fine, ignore it. I forgot this one also had fists, so that makes 5 fists in all of these, very impressive for me, who doesn't usually draw hands in any position other than on a hip or flat out. This was a slight issue since I hadn't designed her back, but I think what turned out looks fine, so we're safe. Yeah I like this one, we vibin, we good.

Overall:

Worth the time, they all look cool and I hope I got somewhat better at drawing. I've never really drawn action-y poses like this before, so it was good practice. Especially the couple where the torso wasn't as visible. Good practice, good outcome, excellent.

[ecogirl2759]

It's time.

So, I have decided to formally retire from FireAlpaca and will not be revisiting any of my old works made on that app (just because of personal preference). SO, I've decided to share some of my favorite WIPs that I had hoped to finish once upon a time lol.

I'm gonna be tagging all the characters that show up btw, so sorry if this comes up as you're peacefully scrolling your fandom tags hehe.

Please check the tags for the characters/fandoms and decide if you wanna open this post.

So yeah, have a couple of old sketches from 2-5 years ago :D

[Uncolored blood in one of them jsyk]

This one felt appropriate to put first lol I was really liking the way it was turning out... and then I lost motivation lol. Think this is from 2 years ago-ish.

Here's another of my OC. I was going to make a super cool battle illustration with super cool effects and super cool lighting and I gave up almost instantly lol. SHE HAS NO WRISTS!!

This is one I made for Drawfest 2, like, 2 years ago now, I think. I thought it was coming along kinda nice except I couldn't get the perspective to look right so my character ended up looking huge lmao.

Here's ANOTHER of my OC. This one is really old lol. I've redesigned her now and I don't use this shading style anymore, so I retired this profile picture really early on.

Ok, last one of this OC. This was going to be one of many sprites that I was making to use in videos and stuff, but I, once again, lost my motivation hehe. Looks REALLY bad tho so idc.

Now for some fandom junk!

.

.

Pico jumpscare I got really into Pico's school way back when and never saw any fanart for his death screen. So I wanted to try my hand at it. Got through the lineart before I decided I didn't like it and was not skilled enough to salvage it so I gave up. Might redraw this in the future though!

Haha mind the huge empty space on this one.

This was going to be a picture of Gregory and Freddy from FNaF Security Breach (made this around the time the game came out), but I quickly realized I couldn't draw animatronics and quit lol. You can kinda see the stripe on Gregory's shirt, but my sketching abilities back then were awful so it's a little hard.

ASJKFHSABFHJBF I ALMOST FORGOT I WAS DRAWING HIMMM!! This bean is a character from To Your Eternity, an anime I randomly found on Netflix once and fell in love with (I quit at the weird scene in the prison tho, remind me to finish it). HE WAS SO CUTE I JUST HAD TO DRAW HIM <3 Also this isn't the ball, this is the boy. I just didn't get to his eyes.

MULTIFANDOM IDEAAAAA

So me and my sister were talking a few years ago, and I think one of us misspoke and said "Coffee shot" instead of "Coffee shop," so this AU was born.

It's a coffee shop called the Coffee Shot staffed by characters that love guns and have guns and shoot guns and I love them. The shop is frequented by characters from other franchises (in this case Danganronpa), and it's got the best coffee and the best theming you've ever seen >:)

Characters from left to right: Pico (FNF), Kiyotaka Ishimaru (DR1), Mondo Owada (DR1), Lance (EBF5)

Here's another MultiFandom picture :D

This one was based on Pinterest lol. I have boards for both of these franchises, but they kept wanting to save these two characters to each other's boards lol. SO I wanted to make a style swap with them! Didn't end up finishing it, though, but I do want to come back to it!

Characters: Kiyotaka Ishimaru (Danganronpa), Ranma Saotome (Ranma 1/2)

Aaaaand then just take some Danganronpa stuff.

This first one is actually the second piece of fanart I ever did for this game, but I quit really quick because I SCREWED UP TAKA'S HAIR AND DIDN'T WANNA REDO IT BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TRIED IT LOOKED FUNKY SO NOW HE'S JUST FUZZY. AND THE BACKGROUND EWWW I FORGOT IT LOOKED LIKE THIS

And then this one is of the same two characters but based on a fanfic I read once. It was a Beauty and the Beast one. It was really fun to read. I liked it. It's on Wattpad if you're interested. I quit on this picture really quick tho. Made the sketch on Photoshop 2 years ago, transferred the sketch to FireAlpaca, then realized the sketch sucked and didn't bother trying again.

SO

There's all my sketches. The ones that I'm willing to share, that is.

Let this be a lesson that not all of your pictures are going to go the way you want to. Your sketches are going to be messy, your lineart isn't going to match up, your colors are going to look funky, and your shading is going to want to make you rip out your hair sometimes.

I think what's important is to make sure that all that stuff doesn't discourage you.

If you give up all together, you'll never know what you'd've been able to produce if you hadn't.

If a picture isn't working for you, find out why. Then quit that picture, practice, and come back. You'll be able to compare yourself to your own art instead of other people's, which will give you a clearer sense of how far you've come.

.

SORRY DIDN'T MEAN TO GO ON A RANT THERE

I think I'll shoot to redraw some of these next year. I definitely want to come back to that Pico one, the style swap one, the Coffee Shot, and the Christmas one.

Don't really have time for that now, but that's now on my New Year's Resolution list lol.

If you're reading this, thanks for looking at my old crappy art. It feels nice to share <3

2022 Creator’s Self-Love Extravaganza

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 favorite works (fics, art, edits, etc.) you’ve created this year and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2022. If you don’t have five published works, that’s fine! Include ideas/drafts/whatever you like that you’ve worked on/thought about, and talk a little about them instead! Remember, this is all about self-love and positive enthusiasm, so fuck the rules if you need to. Have fun, and tag as many fellow creators as you like so they can share the love!

Tagged by @bubblesthemonsterartist tho I daresay I am fashionably late at this point, more than two weeks into the new year. Did I forget? Maaaaybe. Which brings us right to the main problem;

I barely remember. Like. 2022. At all. Things happened, I’m sure, but it’s as if there’s a fine layer of mist atop my memories, stopping me from really seeing them. Last year wasn’t really very kind to me. For every up, three downs followed, and between two failed surgeries, a bout of covid, and then whatever the hell kind of flare happened in the autumn… yeah. Idek. It is what it is.

As such, I can’t really comment on my art as like, a whole process, this year. It just existed in the ‘now’, which is presently the ‘then’. I know I beat my submission record from last year, but it felt like a meaningless victory. Despite everything, I can feel it in my hand now, when I draw, that some progress has been made. Subconsciously perhaps, but it’s there.

Onto the ranking then! (I just had to pull up the archive cuz fuck if I remember what I posted, and when)

1.

*deep sigh* we all saw this coming, didn’t we? As much as I love, I curse this image, for in hindsight it felt as if all my creative energy for the entire damned year went into this one piece! Like how dare! But yes it is one of my best redraws ever, and more so than the characters, I feel like I added to the background something even better than the original. There, I said it.

2.

Omigod this entire thiiiiiing. Were it not for the redraw, this would be the top spot. I can’t explain, so many ideas are left in the brain for countless hours, days, months, YEARS. This was two years in the making, and never before did I manage to recreate something that had the exact same vibe as it looked in my imagination. Especially because I’m not a comic creator, hashtag compulsive disclaimer lol. Also while I was drawing it, seeing people go from “hmmm what’s this?” to “wait is that-?” and then “ooooooh it is the lead-up to The Thing” was priceless.

3.

A last-second outlier comes in third. I admit to making this in a hurry, just to have something really nice to show for december (a month which is usually a highly productive month to me, but 2022 didn’t let me have that either) and as such, since I was struggling, both with a deadline, and a lack of real inspiration, I feel like. I managed to improve, somehow. Call it magic, but this looks noticeably different to many of my other colored pieces.

4.

To be perfectly honest, this was a sketch. People might not think it one, for it has details, a color scheme, and even effects - but at the time I posted it, this was just a colorized sketch in my mind. Tumblr disagreed. And I was left in awe watching this first get reblogged within the fandom, then beyond, then go through a hanfu appreciation blog, and finally reblogged with a truly tender chinese poem attached that said person felt gave them the same vibe as what I had drawn. The people spoke, and I was both awed and humbled, and I learned a valuable lesson in humanity relating to art.

5.

Unlike the others, this was a conscious attempt at something different. I can’t really say why it should go in the fifth spot, but it does; i spent a lot more time than usual on composition, colors, and most importantly, mood setting. And putting characters so solidly into the middleground can be a challenge in itself for me, as I run the risk of getting storybook-ish. Which would’ve been disastrous for a scene like this.

Honorable mention;

Coping through art. @bubblesthemonsterartist has the honor of inspiring this, or like, being the one to “give me” the go-ahead to channel some of my experiences through the characters and story-telling in general. Back pain is something I know all too well, and it was well and truly therapeutic. I also got to do another test of “can I retell this scene, even if I switch part of the cast and premise?” And it seems I did. I will always remember @what-plant-metaphor-am-i ‘s tag; ‘# I feel like I just watched an entire episode XD’ <- never has my inner storyteller been more validated.

There, that wasn’t so hard! Sometimes I’m really thankful for the internet, and timestamps, and kicking my memory back into gear etc… anyway, since I am so woefully late to the party, I’m not tagging anyone specifically; if you wanna be fashionably late too, you know who tagged you~

MOON BOY MOON BOY MOON BOY

I wanted to give him more than just the glowy hair hehehe so here’s my version of Moon Varian :’)

Bonus:

Headcanon that the mark in his eye stays even when he’s not using his powers so he has to cover it up with an eyepatch so people don’t target him eheeee

And yes the eyepatch has a ribbon in the back it was mandatory

[taotaoirl]

galatea x gn!reader general headcanons

yes i have fallen down the idv rabbit hole there goes my grades (ノωヽ) i havent seen many galatea headcanons yet (why are all of them norton and joseph hcs wtf) so ill do it myself bc head empty only galatea my beloved <33333333333 who doesnt love themselves a disabled woman with dwarfism and 47 mental illnesses am i right!

content warnings: none includes: fluff, romantic headcanons for galatea~! reader uses they/them pronouns, galatea uses she/her pronouns

"she looks just like a dream, the prettiest girl i've ever seen"

galatea can be really shy and reclusive sometimes bc she has a fi-si loop (a fi-si loop is where an infp relies solely on their introverted functions and become hypercritical of their past mistakes and is stuck in this nostalgic timeloop kind of situation but i digress)

since she had been in an asylum for so long, she's very used to her own company so it took her a while to put her guard down again

but once she does, she's a completely different person!

her love languages are quality time and gift giving! she just loves your company and enjoy moments in silence too

galatea gives huge cat energy ngl i can imagine her being very selective but is able to be herself with the people she's familiar with (she's actually rlly nice!!!!) (until she gets jealous but i'll elaborate on that some other day)

she also gives little spoon energy and i think she likes being cuddled bc it makes her feel safe, add a few pecks on the top of her head and she will cling on to you forever

she isn't too big on pda bc she's more inclined to having more alone time with you but she will squeeze your hand whenever she passes by you <3

but she's also very very easily flustered, give her a kiss in the middle of the match, she's beet red

if you are a pda kind of person, she'll still agree to it, although she'd probably be embarrassed quite often

she isn't the best with words but she's trying her best! she prefers expressing her feelings through actions/art/handwritten letters bc she's just not very verbal

she likes to play with your hair and if it's long she'll french-braid them bc she can't do french braids on her own hair (she finds it difficult ☆⌒(> _ <)

she will definitely make a LOT of statues of you, there's probably enough of those to fill up the entire manor with

she won't keep all of them tho bc she thinks she's not doing you justice if your statue is even slightly lopsided or imperfect

galatea often catches herself staring at you, it's a little creepy but she just likes to people-watch and improve her statues even more bc you're her favorite model

galatea adores art and history museums so definitely bring her to one if you have the time to!

but in the manor, i think galatea would bring you to watch the sunrise in the garden and once the sun has risen she'll show you her favorite flowers emma has planted

she's also quite interested in sketching and if her s/o likes it too, expect to go on some quiet dates where both of you just sketch outdoors

i hc galatea to have a sweet tooth so expect a lot of chocolate and various kinds of desserts to randomly show up in your room with no note, nothing, just dessert (she probably decided to save her desserts for you aw)

(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

tldr; galatea is kind of reclusive but once she opens up to you she's sooooo cute dhfsd she just wants the best for you and isn't afraid to share her interests with you!

sorry for how long this is! i kind of got carried away bc i have a LOT of thoughts about galatea DFHDUF, i just think about her a lot (yes hello this is your poster galatea defender) nevertheless, i hope you enjoyed!!!! this was really fun to make and definitely a switch-up from my genshin sexuality headcanons (￣▽￣*)ゞ i will most certainly do a lot more identity v headcanons in the future because i just can't seem to stop thinking about this stupid mobile game lol

the duel

pairing: benedict bridgerton x basset!reader (requested by: @moonlightlavender​)

summary: you are simon’s sister feeling lonely in london, but meeting benedict changes everything. when simon catches the two of you in the gardens and demands a duel, you have to save the two idiotic men you love

warnings: dueling?

words: 3.9k

a/n: let me start by apologizing for how long it took me to write this story and thank you for your patience - I hope you enjoy! but this was such a fun story to write, and I got to be incredibly dramatic while doing so lol! also, for the sake of this story, we’re just going to pretend that the whole dueling debacle doesn’t happen between simon and daphne. I feel as though simon is a tad ooc, but I did so to have the duel make sense, I hope you still enjoy the story! (oh, also, later on I was a little inspired by ada shelby in season 1 of peaky blinders. if you’ve seen the show, you’ll know what I mean)

oOoOo

It had been at Somerset House when the two had first gazed upon the other’s form. Despite being the sister of the newly appointed Duke of Hastings, there had been little mention of your name around the ton. Of course, this was all Simon’s doing, seeing that he was not yet ready for his ‘baby sister’ to begin courting regardless of the fact that you were merely a few years his junior and debutantes younger than you were already scouring the marriage mart.

Until that point, your time in London had been fairly uneventful. Most of your days consisted of lounging about Hastings House, painting or sketching whatever struck your interest, or conversing with Lady Danbury at her estate. So, when it was announced there was to be an art show at Somerset House, you were thrilled. Not only would it allow you the chance to rid yourself of the stifling atmosphere of your family’s house, but perhaps you could meet someone else that would keep you company throughout the rest of the season.

Taking in the majesty of the room, you found yourself idly wondering around, paying little attention to Simon’s whereabouts. Eventually, you had found yourself in a deserted corner, staring up at the portrait in awe. So wrapped up in your own thoughts, you didn’t even notice that someone had walked up to join you.

“Magnificent, isn’t it?” a voice questioned from behind you, causing you to jump a little at his suddenness.

One look at the man who had interrupted your thoughts made your knees weak, though you tried to push past that and offer a response. “It truly is. It makes me wish that I will be able to create something as stunning one day.” you offered.

“You’re an artist?” he asked, eyes wide with excitement.

“Yes, I am, Mr...” you said, tilting your head at the lack of his name.

“Mr. Bridgerton.” he introduced with a slight bow, then added for clarification. “Benedict. And you might be, Miss?”

You smiled as he pressed a gentle kiss to your hand. “y/n. y/n Basset.” you introduced, with slight hesitation. It occurred too often that once you revealed your family’s name, those around you drew back, or worse yet, only feigned friendship to either get closer to Simon or try and procure financial assistance from your family’s fortune.

“The sister of the duke?” Benedict asked, eyes wide once more.

“Yes, but I’d much rather discuss anything besides my brother.” you said with a gentle laugh, hoping that Benedict would surprise you and not be interested in your title. “Now, tell me, Mr. Bridgerton. You asked about my interests in the arts, does that mean you are an artist yourself?”

Benedict’s face grew rosy at the implication, and he ducked his head down modestly. “I would not go as far as to label myself an artist, but I do dabble here and there.” he spoke.

“I would be honored to see some of your works, if you feel comfortable in doing so.” you said, looking up at him hopefully.

Before Benedict could answer, you felt a pair of eyes burn into your head, and you quicky glanced to your side, noticing Simon’s sharp eyes as he motioned for you to follow before he stormed out of the exhibition. A large, dramatic sigh threatened to escape your lips as your brother’s action, but you resisted the urge, instead turning back to Benedict to offer an apologetic smile.

“I apologize, but it seems as though I must leave now, but, if I may be so bold, please call on me and we can further discuss your art.” you said before rushing to follow after your brother, unknowingly leaving behind a lovestruck Benedict with a dopey grin.

oOoOo

In the days that followed, you found yourself out of your house more than you had been in quite a while – most of your time being spent with Benedict. It only took a day for an invitation to Bridgerton House to be sent your way, which you wholeheartedly accepted. Accompanied by his mother and younger siblings, you joined Benedict for tea most days, while also managing to steal moments away to admire his sketchbooks.

Whether the two of you with taking tea together or strolling through Hyde Park, it was hard to deny the feelings you felt for him. You could only hope that your affections were returned and that the opportunity to act on them would present itself.

oOoOo

The Trowbridge ball was utterly stifling if you were to be completely honest, which was what drew you out into the gardens. Relishing in the fresh, cool air, you found a stone bench to sit on as you admired both the flora and the beautiful night sky.

It wasn’t long before a snap of a twig caught your attention, your heart and mind panicking for just a moment over who the stranger could be. However, you found yourself relaxing when you met the kind, blue eyes of Benedict. It had been difficult to get a moment alone with him all night, and you were grateful for the opportunity now.

“Miss. Basset.” he greeted, perking up noticeably when he realized who he had stumbled upon.

“Benedict, it’s lovely to see you.” you beamed, gesturing towards the empty spot besides you on the bench, watched as he graciously accepted your offer. “So, tell me, Benedict, are the lovely debutantes and their mamas not capturing your attention?” you teased, nudging your shoulder against his.

“Unfortunately, no. Though, I must admit, my mind has been rather enamored by one particular young lady.” he confessed, glancing at you before he quickly found an interesting spot of grass to stare at.

A small gasp left your lips. “Is that so? Well, what is she like?” you pushed curiously.

“She’s absoutley gorgeous,” he began. “but that is not the only thing that drew me to her. Even though very little is known about her, I can tell she has a kind soul. A soul that dearly loves her family, perhaps just as much as her love for art.” he continued, making your eyes snap to his. “And I’m not sure how she feels about me, but I know that despite our brief time together, I wish to be by her side and try my hardest to make her as happy as I can.”

His words made your heart melt and butterflies to furiously flutter in your stomach as you took in Benedict’s form. Although you knew that it was a bit insane to have such strong feelings for a man you had known only a few days, you couldn’t deny that you wanted the same things Benedict did.

Wordlessly, you reached out to hold his hand in your gloved one as you stared, hungrily, at his lips. Delicately, Benedict slowly removed the glove from your hand and intertwined your fingers, before bringing them to his lips to offer a gentle kiss against your knuckles.

“Benedict.” you spoke, voice barley above a whisper, and acting as permission and acknowledgment that you wanted what he did.

Before you could say anything else, your lips had molded against each other in a gentle, yet passionate kiss. Benedict’s smooth lips devoured yours and with each passing second, you had to remind yourself that this was not just a dream. The two of you pulled away after a few moments, breathless, with your foreheads resting against each other.

There was a spark of desire that grew in your stomach, which you also saw reflected in Benedict’s eyes, drawing you back to his embrace, lips colliding once more. If your previous kiss had been gentle and sweet, this was hungry and desperate, wanting to explore every inch of him you could.

As you felt his lips leave yours and leave a trail along your jaw, making his way towards your neck, you threaded your hands through his hair. A soft moan left your lips as Benedict sucked on a spot on your neck, causing you to pull on his hair a bit more. Desperate for his lips to be connected to yours again, you quickly pulled his face away and initiated another kiss.

With a great passion, your hands explored his body, making their way across his shoulders and down his firm chest. Just as Benedict moved his hands to push the material of your dress away from your shoulders, a voice was heard.

“You bastard!” a voice shouted from behind you and Benedict, instantly causing Benedict to jump away from you in shock, while still keeping a protective grip on your wrist. From the shadows emerged your brother who stalked towards the two of you, raging flaming in his eyes.

“Simon?” you gasped, rushing to readjust your dress.

Ignoring your words, Simon ripped you away from Benedict’s arms and pushed you behind him, staying out of his sight. “I watch you defile my sister and her honor.”

Benedict looked shocked at Simon’s words. “Her honor? Your Grace, that was not my intention, and I swear to you as a gentleman that-”

“You, sir, are no gentleman.” Simon interrupted, his voice harsh and dangerous. “I saw what has transpired, and I have no choice but to challenge you to a duel.” he declared, drawing yet another gasp from your lips.

“Simon, you must be mad. You’re not giving either of us chance to explain.”

“Stay out of this, sister.” Simon insisted, keeping his eyes on Benedict the entire time.

“Is death the only option on the table? What of marriage or courtship?” Benedict demanded, standing to meet Simon’s gaze. “You Grace, though this moment was not completely proper, I have come to greatly care for your sister in the days I have known her.”

“My sister has already been promised to another, and we are lucky that no one saw the two of you to ruin that match.” Simon growled, hurtling this new information your way.

“You what?” you shrieked, stepping forward to look Simon directly in his eyes. “Were you ever planning on telling me of this marriage, brother,” you sneered. “or was I going to be informed the day of the wedding?”

Simon tried to get a word in but found that you were not yet done speaking.

“No, you don’t get to play this card. Just because you’ve shut away all ideas of love and romance in your own life, does not mean you get to make those decisions for me.”

Simon snapped. “No, as your elder brother, I am responsible for making those decisions, whether you like it or not. You will marry the Earl I have arranged you to, and that will ensure the Hastings line ends with this family.” he explained. “And you, Mister Bridgerton,” Simon said, turning his attention to Benedict. “I will see you at dawn.”

With that, Simon dragged you away, leaving you to only offer Benedict one, last fleeting look, leaving him confused in the gardens. Simon ordered the carriage back to Hastings house, where he took you to your room, and demanded that you stay put.

“Simon, you cannot do this!” you shouted.

“y/n, I know much has occurred this evening, but trust me when I say, I am doing this for you, sister.” he explained, much quieter than before. Simon gently placed a hand on your cheek, but you ripped your face away.

“No,” you argued. “you’re still doing this for yourself, and dragging me along, unwillingly, with you.”

Simon hesitated for a moment at your words, and you could see a glimmer of remorse in his eyes. Just as you held a hope that this ridiculous duel could be called off, Simon’s eyes hardened, and he promptly shut your door without another word.

As you watched Simon stalk off into the night, you could only assume that he would head to Will’s to ask him to be his second. Worry churned in your stomach as you paced back and forth across the room, biting your thumb, and trying to come up with a way out of the situation. It seemed unlikely that you would be able to get any sort of note to Simon or even Benedict to try and put some reason into their actions.

At the thought of Benedict your heart clenched, and it was difficult to stop the tears you had been holding back. All this time you let yourself imagine there could be something more, yet your relationship had led to a duel. If you were unable to put a stop to this madness, by the time morning came you would either lose Simon or Benedict from your life. The notion nearly brought you to your knees, and it was in that moment that you began to quickly shed your ballgown for a lighter dress that allowed for more mobility. Even if it took everything from you – you would stop the duel.

By some miracle, you were able to not only sneak out of your room, but you made it outside undetected by any of the staff members. As you made your way to the stables and began to saddle your house, you could feel your hands shaking, but you pushed the feeling down. Mounting your horse, you urged her own not sparing a glance back or wasting another moment.

As soon as Will and Alice’s house was in sight, you dismounted your horse and quickly tired her to a nearby post. Frantically, you rapped your knuckles against their door, not caring who you woke up or disturbed. Only a moment later, the door was whipped open, and your eyes met Alice’s own eyes, tired and in shock. She quickly ushered you inside and locked the door once more before moving into the small kitchen where a pot of tea was already waiting.

“I assume that Simon has already been through.” you spoke quietly, not sure how to navigate this situation.

Alice scoffed but nodded her head. “He and Will left a while ago. I’m surprised you didn’t come by sooner.”

“I would have, but I had to make sure no one saw me leave. I’m surprised that Simon didn’t lock me in my room.” you began to explain before quickly shaking your head and refusing the tea Alice offered. “Alice, I need you to tell me where this duel is happening.”

“y/n, you know that I can’t. Not just because Will and Simon swore me to secrecy, but you shouldn’t be anywhere near the dueling field.” she said, only offering you a sad look as she denied your request.

“Then I shall head to see Benedict and try to talk some sense into him.” you decided, standing up and stalking back towards the door.

Before you could even get a few steps away from your chair, Alice stood and firmly gripped onto your wrist and pushed you back into your seat. “Are you mad?” she asked, finally releasing some of her anger towards the situation. “If you go to Mr. Bridgerton’s house now, not only do you run the risk of more scandal being attached to you name, but Simon will become even more enraged than he already is.” she hissed.

Defeated, you slumped in your chair and finally let the tears fall from your cheeks. Of course, you knew that everything Alice said was correct, but there was a part of you that didn’t care or didn’t want to believe there was nothing you could do. There was a long stretch of silence as the two of you sat across from each other, neither saying anything, only focusing on the fire that crackled and popped nearby.

Time dragged on agonizingly slow, and as the first few colors of dawn began to break through the clouds, you knew you had one more chance to stop this duel. “What if it was Will?” you blurted out, watching as Alice’s eyes widened at your suggestion. “If this was Will, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to keep him out of harm’s way?” you pleaded.

“I can’t I –“ Alice began to say as her resolve weakened and she saw how much you truly cared for Benedict (and Simon’s) wellbeing. “They’re meeting at the park on the far edge of town.” Alice finally whispered. “If you leave now, you should be able to make it in time.” she told you, standing and pulling you towards the door.

“Thank you!” you told her sincerely before you rushed outside, quickly galloping through the streets on the back of your horse towards the duel.

It felt strange to be galloping along, so unlike your typical rides out in the fields or through Hyde Park, but you pushed that thought back and urged your horse to speed up. A sense of dread began to overtake your senses, the more time passed, and you worried that you would not get there in time. All you could do was pray that there was no gunshot before you reached your destination.

Slowly, the park began to come into sight, and you could just barely make out five different figures, still quite a distance away. “Come on!” you shouted, and you praised your horse when she sped up once more.

The closer that you got, you noticed Simon and Will off to one side, conversing with the doctor, and Will carefully holding a box that you knew to contain the dueling pistols. A few yards away, you noticed Benedict’s figure pace back and forth as, who you assumed to be, Anthony tried to calm his younger brother.

Wind whipped around you and with every inch closer, your heart began to beat faster. There was no true plan, but you hoped your presence would be enough to distract Simon long enough to make him listen to reason.

Suddenly, everyone began to take their place and you watched in horror as Simon and Benedict stood back-to-back, pistol held tightly in their grasps. Slowing down your horse, you managed to dismount without tripping, and you ran towards the dueling ground. It was just as Benedict and Simon had taken their ten paces apart and began to turn around that you finally reached them and stood in the middle, effectively shielding both your brother and the man you loved with your own body.

“y/n?” Benedict shouted, his voice filled with worry, not believing that you were truly there.

At his words, Simon turned to face his opponent, gun outstretched in front of him, but his face morphed into a look of horror the moment that he saw you truly were there standing between his gun and Benedict.

“What are you doing here, y/n?” Simon growled, stalking towards you.

“Shut up!” you shouted, tired of being talked down to or pushed around when your future and the lives of those you loved were at stake.

“y/n, you need to-“ Benedict tried to reason.

“I said shut up!” you repeated, glaring at all five pairs of eyes that were currently trained on you. “Now, I’m sure we all know what would have happened if I hadn’t stopped you from making a grave mistake. As you can see, I’m wearing black to prepare to mourn one of you.” you spat out, focusing your eyes between Simon and Benedict. “I want you to take a good look at me and think about if you alright with that and who else that will be wearing black for you.”

There was a moment of silence on the field as all the men look down, ashamed, think of their friends and family they could leave behind.

“Now, you can continue on with this idiotic duel if you want to, but I’m staying right here.” you declared, digging your heels into dirt, ready to stand your ground.

Simon was the first to respond, scoffing at your display before reaching forward to try and grab you arm, which you sidestepped. “This is ludicrous, y/n. Move out of the way and go back home.” he demanded.

“No!” you nearly growled out, a dangerous fire in your eyes. “I’m done having you make decisions that concern my future without any thought of me.” you told your brother, taking a stand for the first time. “I will not be forced into a loveless marriage because of your own fears, Simon. You and my brother and I love you, but your thoughts and fears are not mine. I will always be here to help and support you, but you have to let me live my own life.” you told, grasping his hand in yours and searching for any sign of understanding in his eyes.

A long sigh left Simon’s lips as he slowly nodded his head. He turned his back for a moment only to hand his pistol back to Will before returning his attention to you. “When did my baby sister become so wise?” he mused, leaning forward to kiss your forehead.

“I also have been, you just never noticed.” you shot back.

“I’m sorry.” he whispered. “It’s not fair to throw this all on you and, as you said, make my problems yours. I-I know that’s something I need to work on.” Simon explained.

It warmed your heart to see a breakthrough in your brother, however small it might be, and see remnants of who he used to be. “And we’ll do it together.” you squeezed his hand. “But no more shutting me out. Okay?”

“Okay.” he agreed, letting himself draw you in for a hug despite the audience around you.

When the two of you pulled away, Simon once more narrowed his eyes at Benedict. “That doesn’t mean I forgive him for the stunt he pulled. Just because we’re no longing dueling does not mean I’ll forget what you did to my sister.” he told Benedict, who could only silently nod.

Shaking your head, you stepped away from Simon and towards Benedict. “I’m sorry you and my brother almost had to duel. I understand if you don’t want to see me anymore.” you said, heart clenched in fear that Benedict would walk away from you.

“It was worth it.” he said, with a lopsided grin. “Though, perhaps I should simply call on you to avoid any future displays of violence.” he chuckled, taking the situation surprisingly well.

“That’s rather smart of you, Mr. Bridgerton.” you teased.

“Until next time, Miss. Bassett.” Benedict said, quickly kissing your hand before Anthony began to drag him away. Yet before he was out of your sight, he threw you a wink. “Stay away from those gardens.” he warned, mounting his horse and riding back to Bridgerton House.

All you could do was laugh and shake your head, thankful that Benedict was so unlike other members of the ton. A large weight seemed to be released from your shoulders as you knew that both men you loved were safe. There may be more challenges and scandals ahead, but it wasn’t anything the Bassests and Bridgertons couldn’t handle.

First!!

I’m not sure I sent it already but just to be safe! Can I have Sally and the gang react to finding out that thier goofy yet sweet crush has wings? Kinda like Angel wings but they never knew cause she always hid it with bandages? I got the idea from “ after dark “ by asian kung-fu generation. I like to see that the reader lend a helping hand or wing...like give them a ride if they are late to some place or just want a flight ride for fun XD and use her wing to shield her friends or crush from the rain if they forgot thier umbrella, letting them rest their head on her wings if tired? And reacting to her crash landing into trees since she’s bad at landing lol I hope this was ok.

The Gang finding out their s/o has wings-

Ashley~

She's of course shocked at first, but once that wears off, the first thing the resident dare-devil of the four horsemen would want to do is have her [s/o] take her for a ride. [S/o] was nervous to have such precious cargo with them as they flew, insisting it was much too risky for their clumsy self to carry her, but Ash was relentless and eventually wore them down when she really turned on the charm and promised for a hundredth time to hold on tight. She had thought the ultimate rush could be found on some especially twisted roller coaster, or driving her motorcycle at breakneck speed down an empty highway, but absolutely nothing compared to the unbridled elation of soaring through the air while wrapped in her lovers arms. (The additional dose of adrenaline from the less-than-graceful landing was just a bonus)

Larry~

Once he picks his jaw up off the floor, he immediately grabs his sketchbook and gets to work in capturing the newly-divulged beauty of his partner. He'd drawn them plenty of times before, but the reveal had him seeing [s/o] in a whole new light. He ends up sketching them all night in every pose and angle he can think to ask them to strike before the implications of [s/o]s anatomy start to finally sink in: He had considered himself cursed since that fateful day in his childhood, when he committed a horrible sin and was touched by what he swore was a demon. He had been so focused on the negative, in the reality of evil and the torment it had bestowed on him for his transgressions, that he had never considered that there was another side to the coin- If demons were real, then why would a divine counterpart be so far-fetched? He slowly put his sketchbook aside and approached [s/o], his eyes filling with tears before dropping to his knees before them. He clutched their hands and looked up at them in awe. He always knew [s/o] was special. He hadn't admitted it out loud, wanting to avoid sounding corny, but from the moment he had first met them, he felt they were meant to be together. He thought that maybe he had found a soulmate, but had never considered that he had found an angel, his angel, until the evidence was in the flesh before his eyes. It was the first time he had openly wept in front of them. [S/o] knelt and held him tightly, letting him cry in their shoulder until his sobs slowly subsided. In that moment, wrapped in his partners warm wings and loving embrace, Larry finally, at last, felt truly at peace...

Todd~

He looks more puzzled than [s/o] had ever seen him. He quickly approached and began to examine [s/o], lightly prodding at the point where their wings meet their back, gently testing the mobility of the joint and combing through their feathers, wondering aloud about skeletal and muscular structure. He begins asking questions rapid-fire, his curiosity obviously peaked by the unexpected reveal: "Were you born like this? Are you capable of flight? Do you molt? Do you have any other anatomy more similar to birds than humans?" The list went on and on and on. He's was absolutely fascinated! He took page upon page of notes while examining [s/o]s wings and ended up going on a week-long research bender at the library, checking out every book he can find on convergent evolution, evolutionary biology, human and bird anatomy, legends and myths about winged humans, and a few books on avian care and husbandry for good measure. [S/o] ends up learning a lot about themselves in the process of his research, and finds it's really nice to finally be able to fold their wings around Todd while cuddling up to him when he falls asleep at his desk while reading late at night.

Sal~

Sal is at first speechless- it felt rather odd for him to be on this end of a reveal. Normally he's the one getting exposed, ready for all manor of invasive questions and putting up emotional shields in case of rejection, but this time, it was his partner baring all to him. When he didn't immediately react, [s/o] became a little self-conscious. They wondered if it was too soon to share their secret and apologized for springing this on him without much of a warning. They offered to put their bandages back on and quietly assured Sal that it was alright if this was a deal breaker- finding out your partner wasn't exactly a normal person is a lot to handle, and they didn't want to burden him more than he already was. This snapped Sal out of his shock. He tripped over his words some, but managed to assure [s/o] that that wasn't the case at all- on the contrary, he felt incredibly privileged to be trusted with this kind of thing. He knew first-hand how hard it was to open up to others and show your real self to them. He only allowed his closest friends and family to see him as he truly was, and despite knowing deep down that they loved him and would never spurn him because of his physical differences, it was still really hard to take that leap of faith with someone. He took their hand and genuinely thanked [s/o] for sharing such a personal thing with him, once again emphasizing that they never had to hide anything from him and that knowing them as they were could never ever be a burden or change how he felt about them (and also that the wings made them look really, really, really, really awesome).

Drakengard Direct Translations - Leonard and the Faerie

//Finally got to do those translations! It took forever to figure out the Kanji in the video because of it’s shitty quality but I pulled through ;w; it took listening to the faerie at .5 speed and full volume, trying to identify radicals and either putting it through my dictionary or doodling a rough sketch of it on Google Translate, and a lot of squinting and repeating. Please, please read this I beg of you . i tried so hard

English for comparison: Leonard: What evil have I done? My brothers butchered, our home put to flame. And where was I? Faerie: Hmmm? What’s this, what’s this? You betrayed your brothers? Your sorry, pitiful little brothers, dead on the ground? Ahahahahaha! What fun! What fun! Ahaha, ahahahahaha! Ee-yuck, what a painful sight! Look, look, lookity-look! What was the last thing they saw, I wonder?  Leonard: No, I cannot... I cannot bear to think of it-! Faerie: Haha! Makes you sick? Humans are pathetic! Pathetic! Dirty, smelly... Might as well just die. Hey, that’s it- Kill yourself! Go on, finish it off, useless human! Leonard: But, I... Faerie: Ahahaha, you’re scared? Dying is good! You don’t want to die? REALLY? Oh, what a bore! Seriously! Finish yourself off. Oh- Hold on! Of course! Let’s make a pact! Leonard: What do you... Mean...? Faerie: You don’t get it? Hell-ooo? Is that skull as hollow as a helmet? Hmph! You and me! Together forever! Ohohohoho! Loser, loser! But seriously, let’s do it. A pact! Pleeease. Pleeeease! ~Cue scene~ 

And here is the directly translated Japanese version I did myself. It’s a bit stiff to keep up for accuracy:

Leonard: I am a disgusting person. My littler brothers killed, the house is burned down... And I was behind in the forest without knowing...

Faerie: Hm? Oi oi, what happened? Over there? You abandoned your younger brothers? Oooh, you left your miserable younger brothers behind! Ahahahahaha! That’s too bad*(*This comes from “Oki dokutto” which is used to say “My condolences”. It is obviously sarcastic here.)! It gets worse and worse! First prize for you! Ewww, goodness! This is was a lot of damage, huh?* (*The words “Hade” and “yarareta” were used which basically says more directly “Holy shit, these kids had it fucking ROUGH” which if you see the amount of arrows stuck in their bodies, yeah.)  Oi oi, look at it. This is a pitiful sight! I wonder what they saw in the last moments of their lives?

Leonard: I do not want to think about it! I cannot think about it! (*Lit. I do not want to/cannot see it)

Faerie: Ahahahaha! Does it make you feel bad? What useless things humans are! No good at all! Filthy (*This could also mean filthy as in the corrupt sense), smelly... Won’t you just kill yourself? That’s right! Die! Please, throw away your life! No good, no good, no good, no good! Disgusting! Yes! Decide!

Leonard: I....

Faerie: Ahahahaha! Are you scared? Die! You don’t want to die? Really! This chitchat is really annoying! Kill yourself quickly!! .... Wait! If it suits you-  We can make a little pact? 

Leonard: What... Does that mean?

Faerie: Ah? Don’t you know? Hell-ooo! Is that head just for decoration? Aha! From now on, you and I(*Interesting to note the faerie refers to itself using “Ore”, the masculine term, here) will join hands! We’ll never be separated for the rest of your life! Ahahahaaaha! Loser! Seriously though, please! Please make a pact with meeee!

~~~~

And there you have it. It’s mostly the same (Aside from being straightfoward as HELL), though the two main differences is that Leonard mentions being in the woods in the Japanese version, and that the faerie in the English one seems to care less about his major fuck up as much as “lol get a load of this loser”. The Japanese version of the faerie is more like “OOOH You fucked up BIG time lmaoooo”. It also uses more “feminine” valley-girl type slang (”Majide” and “Dasse”), but refers to itself using masculine pronouns! A neat little tidbit! It also seems to be a bit more sarcastic and just... Fucking awful. I don’t think the English faerie made as much fun of his situation as the Japanese one did lmaoAnyways I spent an eternity on this (About three hours spread over the course of two days, most dedicated to identifying Kanji) so uh,,,, pls like this post. and i dont even mean hitting the like button (though that would be cool too) just,,, think it’s interesting or something lmao duhfjdghjIf anyone wants any scenes/dialogue translated, let me know and I’ll see what I can do! ^^

[musicallisto]

Hi! Could you pls do a Harry Potter ship for me? Preferably from next gen era? I’m a heterosexual girl.

I’m a bookish Ravenpuff and have always been on the top of my class. However, I’m definitely an overachiever and along with my studies, I always have sports practice and I’d definitely be one of the best on the quidditch team. I also play guitar. I’m rather short and it can easily upset me when someone points it out but I’m sure to make a snide remark back at them. I absolutely love art and drawing and sketching is my favorite past times. I adore kidssss and would definitely date someon and joke around that I’m dating them only for spending more time with their younger sibling(s). I can get easily flustered but love teasing and flirting around someone I like. I would usually never admit my feelings cuz I’m too stubborn but we’d argue and compete and I’d add some flirting just to show that I enjoy the person’s company and to hint that I want something more. I also am very much obsessed with one direction and Taylor Swift and boybands and no boyfriend of mine would be loved more than I love 1d and Tay tho. I can also do the splits and love learning the most random things like juggling 🤹‍♀️ and solving Rubik’s cubes (so far I know how to solve six). Also I don’t swear unless I’m extreme angry and am overall just a smart, innocent and naive girl lol.

Ahh can’t wait to see what you come up with!

hi steph! here’s your vanilla milkshake, i hope you like it! also, you sound like a lot of fun in person, lol. i’m exactly the same way when it comes to being flustered/teasing around someone i like, but then everything that comes out of my mouth sounds like i’m flirting except that’s just,,, how i talk normally lmfao. anyway, this is not the topic. the topic today is your relationship with the formidable james sirius potter...

It’s a good thing that you love spending time with kids so much, because the Potter family is one close-knit entity, and you will spend quite some time hanging out with Albus and Lily when you’re visiting James.

(He’s relatively annoyed by it the first time he invites you to spend the holiday break at his place. He doesn’t need his lame little brother and obnoxious little sister embarrassing him in front of this girl he likes.)

(Bear with him, he’s probably like a fourteen-year-old boy in this scenario.)

But it’s quite the opposite, actually; you gape in awe at how supportive and loving the whole Potter family is. It’s probably a little bit of the Weasley in them.

And the younger siblings are a lot of fun, so you oftentimes tease James and tell him that his lame little brother and obnoxious little sister are actually much cooler than he is.

He’s terrified that you might actually mean it, though. How could you? How could they?? He’s cool and he’s got swagger (he has used the word swagger at some point he is gen z), this is a criminal offense.

No, really, it’s so much fun teasing James Sirius Potter.

Mostly because he’s a prankster himself - following a long line of mischief evidenced by his namesakes -, so he’s always down for stirring up some stuff with you...

... but you’ve got him so wrapped around your finger that he takes every little thing you tell him so personally, but not in the actually offended way, more like, “shut up Albus is not cooler than me” “yes he is” “NO HE ISN’T” way. And it’s so funny to see him get all up in arms about something as trivial as that.

He should have the genes to understand that the harder he tries to protest, the longer you will continue with the teasing, because it’s one of the funniest things in the world, but hey. For all their “effortless charm” and “dashing good looks” (his words not yours), both his dad and grandpa went completely dumb whenever a pretty girl approached them, so you can’t really blame him.

On another note, he’s totally enraptured by how smart you are.

It’s not enough that you’re top of the class in almost every single subject - you’re also good at Muggle stuff too? Come on, that’s unfair. No wizard in the history of ever had the patience to try their hand at Rubik’s cubes.

And he’s guilty of it, too - he tried to solve one to impress you one day, he really did, and got as far as completing an entire side... until he got lazy and frustrated and magically finished it with a flick of his wand.

(He could have lied and told you he did it all with his brain, but Albus was in the common room when that happened, and would never let him hear the end of it.)

(At least you laughed when Albus told the epic story of his complete failure. Maybe you were onto something when you said he was cooler than him.)

Also, SO MUCH QUIDDITCH RIVALRY!

James is a jock and that’s a straight-up fact. He has a legacy to uphold, you know? (or so he tries to justify. but he does love team sports and the speed and thrill of the chase.)

but when there’s a Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff and Gryffindor match? oh, boy, are the stakes high.

There’s no actual tension between the two of you before the game or on the field, but. so. many. snide. remarks.

All’s fair in love and war - and all’s fair in Quidditch to destabilize your opponent. Throw them off their game. Maybe even their broom.

And you’re both masters at finding the little comment that will help you secure the win.

“Ha! How does it feel to lose again?”

“Oh my god, Harry Styles is so dreamy. Don’t you think?”

“Wait, what-”

The Snitch flies past him.

Right between your fingers?

“Pfft. You’re not even a challenge.”

Curse you and all your wits and boybands.

Oh, but next time you will get what’s coming, and that’s a promise.

800 follower sleepover CLOSED!

Ghoulish Portraits - Rain Ghoul (Ghost)

No idea what this is lol. I’ve been wanting to make more Ghost content but haven’t been able to think of anything. Then bam! This idea hits me as I’m coloring.

~~~~~~~~~~

All the Ghouls were hanging around the ministry's sitting room, admiring the portrait that you had created.

“I don’t understand how she can draw things so life like!” Swiss awed.

“Hey! I’m not a thing!” Aether whined.

“She doesn’t just do portraits jackass!” Swiss argued back.

The drawing was of Aether. You had a talent for making very detailed drawings, even of people...or Ghouls. You had drawn most of the Ghouls already, Aether being the newest and you gave the drawing to him last night.

The Ghouls found out that you could draw when Dewdrop saw your sketchbook a few weeks back, well, more like stole it from you.

You had been drawing some of the scenery in the ministry’s huge garden and you left your book on a bench for what you swear was only five seconds, but that amount of time was all it took for the feisty fire Ghoul to steal the book.

You were furious, but the rest of the Ghouls forced him to apologize...that was after they all looked through the book first. But you found that it was hard to stay mad at the Ghouls for long.

Soon after, some of the Ghouls came to you to see if you could draw them. At first, you didn’t want to because you were still slightly bitter from when they saw your book without your permission, but Swiss was very persuasive.

You drew Swiss first, and he loved it of course. He made sure to rub it in everyone’s face that he was the first Ghoul you had drawn.

Cirrus and Cumulus asked if you could draw them together after, which you happily obliged. Then you drew Mountain.

Dewdrop wanted you to draw him too, but you refused to when he stomped over to you and basically commanded you to draw him, which was rude. You told him you’d only draw him if he asked nicely. Your request irked him and elicited a growl from him.

You decided to draw Aether just to spite him.

“She even got your thick ass thighs!” Swiss laughed.

“Shut up!” Aether complained.

“Well...he’s not wrong.” Rain mumbled.

Rain really wanted you to draw him, but he was shy and afraid to ask you.

The rest of the Ghouls tried to encourage him to ask you, knowing that you’d be happy to draw him, but Rain was petrified of rejection.

In truth, you had been waiting for the water Ghoul to approach you to be drawn, but became disappointed when it didn’t happen. You had taken a liking to the Ghoul, his shy personality captivating you. You had almost the Ghoul yourself, but you didn’t want to scare him off.

So you decided to let him come to you when he was ready, if he ever was.

“Rain, when are you gonna get yours done?” Dewdrop teased, knowing how he felt about you.

Rain’s ears turned to the side as he blushed, not liking his fellow Ghoul making fun of his nervousness towards you.

“Shut up, Dew. You know how Rain is.” Aether fussed, making Dewdrop angry.

“I’m just joking around with him, asshole!” Dewdrop growled.

Rain rolled his eyes and sighed, starting to walk out of the room when he sensed that the two bickering Ghouls were going to start fighting with each other again. Rain wasn’t one for conflict.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard some crashes coming from inside of the sitting room. He was thankful he left when he did. The last time Dew and Aether fought wasn’t pretty and Rain accidentally got involved and got a few deep scratches from trying to stop the two Ghouls.

Never again would he try to get in between one of Aether and Dewdrop’s fights.

Rain suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, looking over to see Swiss. “How bad was it?” He asked.

Swiss smiled. “Not too bad. Just a few broken vases and some scratches, maybe a couple ripped up pillows. Sister Imperator is not gonna be happy.”

“Like she ever is when Dew and Aether get into fights.”

“True, true.”

Swiss followed after Rain when he started walking away. “So, not to make you upset again, but...are you ever gonna ask Y/N to draw you?”

Rain sighed. “I want to...but, I guess I’m just scared.

Swiss refrained from laughing. “Come on! She’s drawn most of us by now, there’s no reason she wouldn’t draw you too!”

“I guess...”

“If you’re that nervous...I can ask her for you!”

“No!” Rain suddenly raised his voice, causing himself to blush again. “No...I want to do it.”

“That’s it!” Swiss patted him on the back. “I think she’s in the garden again.” Swiss pushed him in the direction of the garden. “Go on!”

“Now?!”

“Yes!”

Rain sighed and rubbed his hands together. “Okay...”

Rain peeked around the corner and saw you were indeed sitting in the garden, sketchbook in hand. You were sitting on the usual bench you sat on when you drew. The Sun shined through the circular glass dome that covered the garden, the rays of light giving your person a soft glow around you that made you look like a fallen angel.

You had an intense stare on your face, the typical face you make when you’re concentrating hard on a sketch. Rain though it was cute, and he didn’t realize he was smiling until you turned your head up to take another look at what you were trying to draw.

Mountain had recently planted a bunch of Chrysanthemums in the garden and you were awed by how beautiful they were, and you just had to draw them.

Rain shook his head, trying to get himself to walk over to you. But you were so concentrated on what you were drawing, he would feel bad if he broke that concentration. He didn’t want to bother you while you were working. Wouldn’t that be rude? He didn’t want to be rude.

Unfortunately for Rain, he hadn’t realized that he was out in the open and just staring at you.

From your peripheral vision, you saw that Rain was staring at you. If it was any other Ghoul, you probably would’ve been a little creeped out. But you knew how Rain was. Poor thing was probably too nervous to talk to you.

You smiled, hoping that he’d find it easier to approach you than when you were wearing that focused face. You were annoyed at yourself for having a resting bitch face, not liking that it made people hesitant to approach you. But anyone who knew your personality knows that you were the opposite of a bitch to those who are nice to you.

You decided to call out to Rain. It was risk, but you wanted to talk to him. “Hello, Rain!” You smiled at him.

Rain’s eyes widened, finally realizing he wasn’t hiding anymore. He had no choice but to talk to you now. “Hi...” He tried not to stutter.

“You can come over.” You beckoned him over softly, trying to make him comfortable as possible.

Rain finally gave a little smile and sauntered over to the bench where you were sitting.

“Have you seen the flowers Mountain planted yet? Aren’t they so pretty?” You asked once Rain sat beside you.

Rain followed your gaze and saw that there were indeed new flowers in the earth. “Hmm, yeah. I’m not really a big flower guy though...” He chuckled nervously.

“Oh, me either. I just think they’re pretty.”

I think you’re pretty, is what Rain would’ve said if he had any flirting skills at all. But instead he just hummed in agreement.

He looked over to you drawing and saw that it looked amazing. “Wow...” He voiced accidentally.

You giggled. “It’s not even done yet!”

“I think it still looks really good. No. Incredible.”

Now it was your turn to blush. “Well, thank you.” You smiled bashfully.

“I was thinking...” Rain started, getting your undivided attention, making the Ghoul feel the pressure to word his thought correctly. “Uh, I thought, maybe you could draw me?”

Silence.

“You don’t have to though!” Rain panicked. “I was just, uh, well, you had drawn some of the others and I just thought, uh, oh, uh. Ah fuck, sorry. You don’t have to!” Rain continued ranted nervously.

“Rain!” You called out, grinning from ear to ear. “You don’t have to apologize! I’d love to draw you!”

Rain’s eyes lit up and his tail started quivering in excitement. “Really? You don’t have to! I mean, I’d love-”

You stopped him from nervously ranting again by putting a gentle hand on his shoulder. “Rain.” You said softly. “I’d love to draw you.”

Rain smiled and sighed in relief.

“If I’m being honest, I’ve kinda been waiting for you to ask me.” You chuckled nervously.

Rain’s eyes widened. “Oh...well, in that case, I wish I had come to you sooner.” He grinned.

“Well, you’re here now.” You smiled back.
