A little birthday drawing for Danny Smith (Merton from Big Wolf on Campus) 🦇🎂

[thewizardlywyrm]

It’s always time for more Big Wolf on Campus! 

I’ve been wanting to make more drawings similar to a doodle I did of Tommy a while ago, with this sort of shading and line style, so I finally did! I’m constantly trying to figure out exactly how I want to draw these two, so apologies for the ever-changing style and looks. We’ll get there! Probably! 

Somethings that I think would have been fun if there had been more seasons would be exploring more of Merton’s sorcery and magical abilities. Seeing him study further in college and after, really harnessing his skills and being able to utilize them against their foes, find clues, etc. I also think it would have been so cool to see Tommy really harness his inner wolf and come into his own atfer graduating and getting out of Pleasantville. The cool stuff they could still do, the adventures they could go on!

🛒 ❌ 🤩🍦

I'm. So mad.

I just wrote so much in response to this. I was about to hit post. And then.....

So here's try number 2. Probably much shorter lol.

🛒- What kind of themes, imagery scenes offer or repeatedly appear in your work?

If its horror it usually psychological in nature or source and it usually has a water scene. A lot of unseen creeping.

I love a character who usually puts on a strong face bring forced to rely on others especially in a found family capacity.

Whump is a big part of that for me too.

I write a surprising amount of just like, slice of life cute daily scenes.

And I am a pretty big fan of the whole love-confession-as-I'm-injured-and-losing-conciousness-because-I-think-I'm-gonna-die-and-so-I-need-to-tell-you-how-much-i-truly-care-about-you-as-I-sacrifice-myself-so-that-you-may-live, sort of thing. It's always a crowd pleaser (it's me I'm the crowd of 1)

❌️ What tropes do you not like/hate to write

Controversial opinion maybe? I don't like to write Soulmate AUs. I only ever read them once in a while maybe if it's interesting on a conceptual level, like they change up the formula, but. ... I as a person don't believe in soul mates or destiny so very hard for me to get into. (But I appreciate the ppl who do write it. It's just not my thing.)

Also certain AUs mu writing just doesn't vibe with even though I do respect them as Aus. Like Mafia AUs or Serial Killer AUs. I don't think I could hack it, but I respect what u do.

🤩 What kind of characters do you like to write.

My favorite is "Bisexual Disaster, just trying their best, who is also just, some guy"

Examples may include, but are not limited to:

Phoenix Wright (or literally anyone from Ace Attorney Ever)

Barry Allen

Sokka Watertribe

Stede Bonnet

Stiles Stilinski

Xie Lian

Ranma Saotome

Lina Inverse

Anthony Janthony Crowley

Geralt of Rivia

And others that I can't think of bc im bad at thinking of thing when I need to.

I also love characters unhinged in their impulse control with a zest for life that borders on terrifying:

Maya Fey

Truly Wright

Merton J. Dingle

Ed "Blackbeard" Teach

Zuko Firebender

Klaus Hargreaves

Cecil Palmer

Aziraphael

It's a real grab bag!

🍦- What's the sweetest fic you've written?

Probably the one I wrote for you tbh, the GothicWolf Marriage? That was a really sappy one. I still like it tho: Pick a Four-Leaf Clover.

I need to write more and put it out rather than just keep banging away at snippets on random docs lol. Rip to the first response to this post. Thanks for the ask!

My idea on who (from other works) would be great candidates to be part of the Animorphs

So basically, here are who I feel would fit perfectly alongside the Animorph gang (Ax, Cassie, Jake, Marco, Rachel and the Auxiliary Animorphs)

*This is a mixture of what I like/are interested in and what other people like/are interested in. So just because I mention them doesn't necessarily mean I'm a fan of the work they are from*

Lastly, I'm adding what I personally feel would fit, however feel free to add onto this if you see something that I might have missed. Also, if I get anything wrong, feel free to correct me. (I'm doing my best to put research into this)

Week 6/03 – 6/9/20

The Engagement Dinner part 2

These prompts just lined up really nicely and the story flowed from one week into the next.

Merton stands up for himself and Tommy, even if it is one of the most painful things he’s ever had to do. Tommy feels like he’s made this mess for Merton but as always will do anything he can to help his gothic beauty feel like the treasure he is.

This story Fallows other Tommy & Merton stories and as such has been posted separately, please fallow the link out to it or continue on to the next week’s tale.

If you would like to read this and all of 2020′s weekly writing challenge stories click HERE or continue read below for today’s tale.

Dialogue prompt: “You made your choice and I made mine. Just because you can live with yours doesn’t mean you should shame me for living with mine.”

               *this week continues the previse weeks. *

               Merton scanned the parking lot ask Tommy parked the car. The restaurant looks like a nice one, he looked up with the name and knew it was never going to try and say it because he was going to butcher it. His eyebrows knit together that truck in the back corner was a little too beat up for this place and looked oddly familiar.

               I walked in, checked their code and were showing over to the table for 6 people. “Who else is coming? it” Merton whispered to Tommy’s the waiter walked away.

               Tommy shrugged, “ I don’t know, I didn’t think to ask and she didn’t say anything. So I just kinda figured it was you, me, mom and dad.”

               “Weird.” Merton mumbled settling into one of the side chairs.

               “Oh good, you're here!” Mrs. Dawkins greeted them, “look who I we found in the parking lot.” Merton and Tommy stood smiling warmly at the Dawkins. 2 familiar faces stepped around the Dawkins and Merton smile faded. he quickly caught himself and plastered on a fresh one moving around the table to give his parents a quick disingenuous hug. “mom, dad, how are you?”

               “Good, we’re good. Why didn’t you tell us you were coming back to town?”

               “it was kind of last minute.” Merton gave a half shy half chuckling response keeping his eyes averted from his father.

               “Still could’ve called.” Mr. dingle chastised, sitting down at the tables far end.

               “Right, sorry.” Merton nodded returning to his seat, closest to his father.

               “well, let’s order, I’m starved,” Mr. Dawkins chuckled taking a seat at the other end of the table. “then we can all catch up.”

               With all the orders in Mrs. Dingle ask about Merton’s work, then Tommy’s and how they were adjusting to life in the city. If they had any new friends, she kept the conversation moving and in comfortable zones for the bulk of the meal. As desert was placed before them Mrs. Dawkins raised her wine glass. “I’d like to propose a toast to our boys. They are doing so well as they move forward. So, lets raise our glasses to them as they bring our families together. Congratulations,” Merton’s face drained of all color, “on your engagement!” the Dwakin’s family cheered and clinked glassed while the Dingles turned to Merton. Realizing the Dingles had not joined in the Dawkins turned to their guests.

               Merton slowly brought his glass back to the table, his eyes locked on the center of the table desperately wanting to be anywhere ells.  “Their what!” Mr. Dingle snapped; Merton flinched but waved away Tommy’s comforting hand. “you’re supposed to be past this.”

               Mrs. Dingle placed a hand on her husbands’ arm, “Please,” she hissed, glancing around the restaurant desperately.

Mr. Dingle stood abruptly, gripping Merton’s shoulder. “Come with me.” Merton was nearly pulled out of his chair. He waved at Tommy to stay and walked out of the restaurant under his father’s hand.

The Dawkins turned to the last of the Dingles for some sort of expatiation. “What’s going on?” Tommy just managed not to snap at the older women, the wolf was on high alert and demanding answers. Mrs. Dingle had the decency to look embarrassed but offered very little in explanations.

“I’m sorry, had we thought he could have such influence on you,” She locked eyes with Tommy, “we would have put a stop to it. Though we were hoping that the influence would go the other way. What with all the incidents in middle school and then the ‘dark’ phase.” She shook her head disappointed. “But then all of a sudden he started hanging out with you, an all-American boy, and we really thought he was finally starting on the right path.”

Tommy stared at her in disbelief, “Shit!” Tommy stood almost knocking over his chair.

“Tommy?” Mr. Dawkins stopped him gently.

“This is why he’s been acting so weird, I, I just told him…” Tommy took a calming breath, “I’ll be right back.”

Tommy pushed the door open and slowed down, sniffing the air for Merton. Fallowing the sent, he heard Merton before he saw him. “No, you made your choice and now I’ve made mine. Just because you can’t live with yours doesn’t mean you should shame me for living with mine.”  Merton’s voice was low but firm.

“It’s the wrong choice!” Mr. Dingle growled.

“Tommy, isn’t the wrong choice.” Merton took a steading breath. Tommy paused at the corner of the building and watched. “You don’t have to accept or acknowledge it. I don’t expect you too but I choose Tommy over you, I always will. You’ve made it clear I’m not what you wanted.” Merton turned and started back towards the door.

“Don’t you,” Mr. Dingle started after him, Tommy stepped around the corner.

“There you are, is everything okay?” Tommy wrapped his arm around Merton’s shoulder, shooting a quick glare at Mr. Dingle.

“you didn’t have to come out here.” Merton wove his fingers in with Tommy’s looking up at him.

“Sure, I did, I just promised to help you.” Tommy pulled the door open and the two stepped inside. Merton stretched up, placing a kiss to Tommy’s cheek

“Thanks.”

Tommy pressed his forehead to Merton’s. “Anytime.”

“Oh,” Mrs. Dingle watched them return to the table as small amount of realization glittering in her eyes.

“Is everything alright? Mr. Dawkins asked as they sat.

“We’re leaving.” Mr. Dingle snapped at his wife.

With a quick glance around the table she gathered her purse, gave a fast thanks for the invitation and dinner before joining her husband. The table watched them leave with disappointment.

 Merton laid his head on Tommy’s shoulder as they drove back to the house, quiet and generally sending out sad vibes. “Do you want to talk about it?”

Merton shook his head, “it’s fine, they gave up on me a long time ago. This just makes it official.”

Tommy frowned and gently bonked his head against Merton’s. deciding tonight he would focus on Merton, not that he didn’t anyway, but tonight he would make sure he felt safe and wanted. Then tomorrow he would tell his mom not to change any of her original plans, just stay on the wedding plans like tonight hadn’t happened maybe just don’t bring up the Dingles.  If the Dingles were really going to let Merton slip from their fingers, then the Dawkins were just going to have to catch him.

A fast screenshot redraw! 

Have recently rewatched Big Wolf On Campus, the show of my childhood - maaaan, there is so much bromance 😍 BTW, I suggest you watch this funny TV series about the jock Tommy & his gothic outcast friend Merton fighting supernatural stuff. U can find it for free on youtube (Encore +). 

[thewizardlywyrm]

I've finally had a bit of time here to work on my werewolf!Merton fursuit, and am trying a new eye style for it ( the Kazplay Greymane one! They do amazing work! ), so I drew a few doodles of him with similar eyes to see how I felt about it! I wanted to go a bit more Halloweeny and traditional-werewolf-y than toony. We'll see how it goes!

[freak-bait]

I'm playing Merton in a group rp and he had to get dressed up fancy for the current plot, so I drew it.
