#man i have so many drawings i want to post

[gutsondisplay]

I'm gonna say it

Woobifiying curly after the accident in posts where other characters aren't ALSO woobified makes me want to crunch people/neg

Hi! Hello! Disabled person here!

It's actually really fucked up and more than just "annoying", seeing so many people draw curly as a grown ass man AND THEN ittty bitty baby <:3 at the same time, SOMETIMES IN THE SAME POST! It's really fucking bad! Stop that!

I have the small bit of being able to relate to post accident curly due to chronic pain, trouble speaking and walking, and some disfigurements. Me barely being able to deal with some of you mouthwashing fans makes me fucking wonder how anyone else disabled can do the same

Looking in the mouthwashing tag is like flipping a coin if I get to see people be normal and happy OR I end up seeing the end result of someone's festering frothing ableism nurtured by years of ignorance and unchecked harm

Please

Guys be fucking normal about curly

Because I do not wanna be anywhere fucking near half of you

sorry if this ask isn't allowed or off-putting (you don't have to respond if it is) but do you have any artists on here that you recommend? i've been following your socials since around 2017, but i haven't been on tumblr much since then and would love to find more artists who create similar oc focused work to you :D

No worries, this is a fine ask!! ^^ BUT UNFORTUNATELY I’M IN THE SAME BOAT YOU ARE, HELP… 😭 I also want to know where my fellow (1) QPOC, (2) OC-focused, (3) openly landmine/dead dove-favourable, (4) interaction/RP-positive creators are… But I have yet to find many who hit all four points… It’s dire out here… :(

If you want to look into writers, @mihlen is my best friend and RP partner of several years—we have shared custody over most of their OCs and their fics are lovely! @ramsauced and @enigma-sanctity are also good OC friends and both of them draw very well, but neither are active on SNS at the moment TT

So my dash is as dead as yours for the most part 🥹 If any of my followers have recs, please feel free to drop them into the replies (including reccing yourself!!!)—I’d really love to follow more QPOC OC enthusiasts too! 🥺👉👈

A few creators who don’t hit all my rec criteria but I still enjoy are nozmo, kosmicdream, and deeppink-man! I’m a fan of their comics Avarice is My Darling’s Vice, Feast For a King, and Disillusionment Diary (translated by mihlen!) respectively. There’s also sds-mod, who runs a few interactive OC blogs and with whom I have several OC dynamics (Knife Life is our prominent one) :>

More artists/writers who mainly posts OCs, but either don’t hit all my rec criteria or have works that are much different from mine (so your mileage may vary) are:

ravenatural-art, oshadefiant, 0steo, ohpsshaw/ohbleck (I love her OCs), lowercasemink, and ko2vo ! reinapepiada also has incredible OCs, but they don’t have an OC-focused blog

—If I gave you a shoutout and you’d prefer I remove it, please let me know! ;w;/

What would Peri’s power level be if he didn’t have his inhibitor/stabilizer wand and just went apeshit?

While Cosmo deals with too much magic in his body, Peri suffers from a slightly different issue. Cosmo has the greatest amount of magic in Fairy World. Peri is incapable of regulating his magic.

Peri cannot, not then as a child and not now in the present, control his magic. Without his inhibitor, he can easily destroy an entire realm- just as he nearly destroyed Earth as a baby. This fact has not changed, although it is less plausible today than back then.

Peri's taken extra measures in the present-day to ensure it cannot happen.

Day 3: Asclepius

Interpretation notes and trivia under the cut!!

Woo boy, this guy was another difficult character to settle on both a design and an interpretation for! Asclepius tends to have two big schools of thought for his tale, either he's the tragic doctor who resorted to illicit methods in order to save his patients or he's a strict scientist who was so skilled at his art that his resuscitations were called magic but were just science. I don't actually mind either interpretation, but due to the way I personally see Coronis and the way I chose to interpret Asclepius' birth story, I chose to focus on a different facet of Asclepius; Asclepius the family man. The theme of geneology and the inheritance of 'curses' through blood and birth is one that permeates this work and Asclepius, in a lot of ways, has not only inherited both his mother and father's banes but his actions and talents create new ones for his children. Throughout this, and all the many messy crimes Asclepius will commit in the name of what he thinks is necessary and right, he will willfully ignore the warning signs staring him dead in his face screaming that he will leave the burden of his work to his children and it will be easy. After all, Asclepius has made a career out of ignoring his own father's warnings and cautions, what are a few more red flags to ignore?

Less of a character note and more of a personal thing, but for a very long time I used his teenaged design when sketching out scenes and ideas but after tidying up my timeline, I realised that he would be an older man throughout the events of the story!! Since he's properly mortal, he would have to look his age and while that was slightly intimidating since I've not drawn many older characters, it also made me very excited since characters in the 40+ age range are rarely protagonists of these sorts of adventure/fantasy stories and working in the physical differences between him and his brothers was extremely fun!

Some fun trivia:

Youngest of Apollo's children currently alive and kicking. Maybe it was because Apollo so intensely regretted the way he dealt with Coronis but he doted endlessly on Asclepius and essentially personally oversaw his education and training. Because of this, Asclepius, without a doubt, is the child with the best relationship with Apollo between the brothers and believes unfalteringly in his father even if they have many practical and philosophical differences.

Has a bit of a sixth sense when it comes to necromancy and communing with the dead and spirits beneath the earth. Because he was rescued from the torch of death when he was babe, he has retained a connection with the chthonic. While he cannot exactly see figures like Thanatos or Hermes, he can certainly sense when they are afoot. Is very aware that Thanatos cannot stand him and expects to be taken by Ker when he does finally die.

Always keeps gold coins on him on the off chance he is spontaneously struck down while doing research or healing some previously unhealable disease. His father, upon realising that his warnings would be thoroughly ignored, pleaded for him to do at least that since after Asclepius is dead, Apollo would be unable to intercede for him.

Happily married and has four children! His eldest Machaon chose to follow his footsteps and became a gifted surgeon in his own right while his second eldest Iaso chose to follow her mother's footsteps and become more of a nurse than a doctor. He's endlessly proud of all of his children and hopes his research makes the world a better place for them.

Was recognised by Apollo at 15 and became Doctor Laureate at 17. Lost said laurels at 22 after he revived his second corpse from the dead and since then has been on a strict probation when practicing his medicine. Has a mark on his left wrist that will fill itself out if he commits such an atrocity again and then he will be marked for death and supposedly tormented until he forfeits his soul.

On very good terms with Orpheus and the two often work together and catch up when they happen to meet up while travelling. Never knew Eurydice but he gets the feeling that he would've really liked her.

Despite being a son of Apollo, has absolutely zero musical talent and cannot dance. He can't maintain his hair either and would've cut it multiple times over if Apollo himself didn't stop him and chastise him for even thinking about such a thing. Epione does his hair. The little braids in his beard are courtesy of the twins Hygiea and Panacea who enjoy putting little braids in anything they can get their hands on.

Doesn't resemble his father or his mother actually! The relative he resembles most is his paternal grandfather Zeus, a fact that gives his wife endless grief because his hair is thick but not curly, a trait she covets. Asclepius having thick body and facial hair was also very awkward considering Apollo is incapable of growing body hair and, for a while, his lack of curls and cascade of body hair when Asclepius started puberty made Apollo doubt whether Asclepius was truly his or if he had saved Ischys' child instead.

Has zero self preservation and will hunt monsters and creatures for their blood, teeth, claws and hides for his medicines. Like his father, he has a personal 'wall of horrors' where he stores everything from gorgon blood to pegasus feathers to hydra venom. Sometimes gods in the guise of men will simply give him precious materials because they know Asclepius is the one who will take their unsolveable cases in the face of disaster. It is a very risky exchange and has only barely skirted by Zeus' notice because actual money hasn't been exchanged (yet).

Preferred weapon is the scalpel and doesn't like fighting humans. Has a fire-retardant mantle made from chimera skin Apollo gave him when he was a child that doubles as a very good shield in a pinch.

Favourite colour is withy purple and his favourite food is goat butter spread on bread and topped with celery, tomatoes and olive oil. Has a lot of snake themed jewellry that he's passed on to his son because he thinks they're too gaudy for his old self to be wearing.

medic tf2 doodles?!?!?? in this economy!???!?!? (art from yesterday)

most gentle and sweet middle aged german man in the whole entire world smile vs planning to swap all of your organs with a series of interconnected frogs smile

a doodle i did of Medic and Archimedes.... he looks too round in this drawing, not smug and evil enough..... also Mitzi from the RAE appearance :D

i LOVE the voicelines Medic has with Haunted Archimedes, he's not disturbed or even slightly put off by the fact that his zombified dove is 1. talking and 2. has a violent and constant craving for brains. he's just like. being a slightly irritated pet owner about it. he's just like "ugh yes archimedes vants all zhe brains doesn't he. now shut up". also i think this is the most on-model medic drawing i've ever done wtf

[trashfactorysstuff]

Chainsaw man au?!?!?

Probably dosent make much sense but in my head it does. I’m too lazy to do more now loolll

[reynaruina]

Why don’t you awnser any asks often?

Same reason I don't post art as often. At some point the engagement on my stuff started to drop off, and it became a disappointing prospect to post anything, like I already know people won't engage w it the same way they did in past years so even putting stuff out there hurts a little. Even worse w asks because the longer I leave them sitting the longer I know I'm making people wait for a response, the worse I feel, and the worse I feel the harder it is to respond.

Gee, Peppibot Factory sure looks different today.

With the one Pizza Tower title card meme making the rounds lately, I figured I'd join in on the fun with my own contribution starring none other than the super fighting robot, Mega Man! This might just be my biggest sprite piece yet this year, and I am BEYOND thrilled that I was able to pull this off! 💙✨
