I want to know more about the fox Childe and bunny Reader fic please 🥺 The Zhongli/Reader one as well

hiii Em!! I'm SO glad you asked hehe I'm very excited to talk a bit about this fic!

both fics take place in the same shapeshifter au where anyone with a vision also can shapeshift into an animal!

fox! Childe x bunny! Reader

Reader works for Yelan and helps to gather information (being a bunny can be pretty useful for that) when you are caught spying on the Fatui by Childe!

he can't let you share what you've heard, so he captures you (after an intense chase scene hehe)

he ends up bringing you back to where he's staying at the Northland Bank and decides to keep you captive until after the Fatui plans happen. all the Fatui are o.o at Childe walking in with a rabbit under his arm but they're not going to say a thing about the 11th Harbinger suddenly wanting to keep a pet because they'd like to keep their heads, thank you

anyway you start to find that Childe is growing on you the longer you spend in his presence and learn about him. (featuring a visit from Teucer!)

eventually you escape for good and return to your regular job, working at Yelan's teahouse, when suddenly Childe starts stopping by for tea and nearly gives you a heart attack the first time he shows up

I don't want to spoil too much about the reveal but!! some random hints about what I want to include throughout the fic: Reader gets a ribbon collar from Childe, a second intense chase scene, two visits to Bubu Pharmacy and an appearance from Qiqi, Childe in a half-transformed state with fox ears and claws and a tail, and some biting (not necessarily in that order)

dragon! Zhongli x cat! Reader

I don't have very concrete ideas for this yet, but:

thinking of a foreign Reader who arrives in Liyue who doesn't know much about all that went down with the Geo archon

Reader decides to explore the stone forest (perhaps you're an adventurer and your commissions take you there?) when you stumble across a dragon napping on one of the mountain peaks and ngl he looks pretty comfortable and it's sunny out, so you take a break and join him on a nearby rock

once you're back in Liyue you start running into Zhongli and then suddenly on your commissions to remote places, more often then not you'll find a dragon already there napping

and that's about it!

I am sooooo excited for the fox! Childe x bunny! Reader dynamic augh it has already been fun to write thus far and I can't wait to write more of it. once I make more progress I might share some snippets hehe. and if anyone has any questions or would like me to expand on things, feel free to let me know! c:

Gideon, if you think it's your duty to fight Harrow and it's necessary to stop her , why don't you just deliver the final blow?

If you wanted her to stop, you'd ask Cam's help or something. If you wanted to really hurt her, you'd go all out. Instead, you two seem to be having the weirdest kind of sex, where she is poking at you with sharp edges, begging you to kill her and end it all, and you're begging her to stay and touch you, no matter how.

Due to everyone calling for Barbatos for help so often, he's learned to respond to every little noise he hears that may be directed to him. The obvious ones being someone calling his name or saying hey, etc. But some others would be more obscure, like when someone is talking to someone else, and they say something along the line of "get him to do it."" And Barbatos immediately knows that he is "him."

Okay, but imagine doing the pspspspsps to Barbatos as you would a cat. He's repond. He would. I would do this every day and night. All the time. That's it, that's the take

LOL I can just IMAGINE it.

Barbatos would absolutely respond, but it'd also be like, "MC, must you pspsps at me? Can you not use your words?"

Like he's gently complaining about it, but he's still gonna come right over to your side as soon as you do it.

I think of him as being very cat like anyway, so it'd be hard to resist the temptation to do that lol.

I also agree that he's hyper aware of people needing him and speaking about him. He's just on top of it, always ready to step in should his assistance be required!

Ah now I'm having visions of him sitting down next to MC, who proceeds to pet his head like a little cat because they can't help it. And that stoic demon purrs. I'd lose my whole mind. He'd probably blush profusely, but he also wouldn't stop.

I like to think of Barbatos as a tease, but it's equally fun to tease him lol.

I love Jar of Mice! I've never seen creature designs like Thrones before.

You mention Ibis tissue in some of the posts, and I read the old post about it - has the lore changed since then? Does it have anything to do with the bones of God at Godtomb?

I'm very flattered! I don't think of Thrones as particularly creative but I suppose that's because I know all the ingredients for them... Actually let me take this post as an excuse to go into them a bit!

I extremely enjoy taurs and human "hybrid" style creatures like sphinxes a massive amount, but there are a ton of artists who's particular styles and sensibilities have inspired me. Coming to mind off the top of my head are artists on social media like Bwusagi, Suzumori521, Deerchip, Theveryworstthing, iliothermia, and definitely more...

I tend to collect a lot of art of centaurs, sphinxes, harpies, and dragons that catches my fancy, here's some of it:

(An Islamic depiction of Sagittarius, Salome Sphinx by Nicholas Kalmakoff, ????, Nagas by Rabi Behera, Şahmaran)

Edit: forgot the Lamassu, which is a more specific inspiration than any of the things above or below.

Jim Woodring is one of my inspirations for Thrones that people tend to clock, and they're correct. It's probably the colors, patterns, eyes, shapes.....

Oh and.

Her.

And for the second question, yes! The tissue was once on the bones, although the Ibis tissue used in the temples for the creation of dagnyds is much more equivalent to a cell culture than anything at this point. It's desire to grow and take form is the creative force that humans have harnessed to create dagnyds..... for better or worse.

I don't have any art of it i'm happy with, but here's some several year old pixel art of an Oracle Computer, which is filled with the stuff. Honestly though, I don't think "black goo" is very compelling or visually interesting considering what the stuff actually is. It needs work.

Everything always needs work...

Hi! First off, I just wanted to say that you're incredible for not only answering these asks, but doing it in such detail. I watched the videos you linked in that post late last night, and I feel like an absolute genius and can't wait to get my pencil out today.

I have a small more specific question -- I don't know if I've actually seen you doing it in this comic, but I don't think it's that much of a stretch to assume you have (plus I didn't really look very hard), so I'm asking anyway.

How would you shade/render a blank wall or corner? Is it darker in the middle? Is one wall darker? What if there's lighting right there in the corner?

o7

I'm glad the videos helped out!! I just enjoy talking about comics and art, I thank you all for enabling me haha

For shading a wall or corner it's all in the gradients! How strong the shadows are will depend on what the light source is or where it is in relation to the corner. Here are some references I found for examples.

If you are doing it digitally you can use a gradient tool. It's simple and easy to get those shadows down quickly.

Idk if this was a tutorial? It's also not completely accurate, it was mostly just me going "oh huh... how would I do that?", but I hope this helps!

if you were doing an escape room with ajax and another one with cyno, who’s better at it??

ERISSSS THANK YOU FOR ASKING THIS!! I'm sorry I sat on it for like. over a week aksdlfjdsjf this was hard to decide oh my gosh but it was lots of fun thinking about it >u<

so!! in an escape room with Ajax, I feel like we'd be so good at solving each individual puzzle, but sometimes have trouble with seeing the bigger picture especially in the beginning. when we first get into the escape room, we might spend half our time on the first few puzzles, but once we get the ball rolling we can speed through the rest of them. it always ends up getting very frantic near the end because we'll be racing against the clock. sometimes we'll complete the escape room and make it out, while other times we'll be one or two puzzles away from the end. it's always a very good time though, and maybe if we stopped goofing off or teasing each other as much in the beginning, we'd be able to make it out of all the escape rooms we try.

doing an escape room with Cyno is a bit different—I think he'd be very good at seeing how the puzzles fit together. he's very observant, so for the detail-oriented puzzles (such as ones where we need to find symbols on the wall), we'd be able to get that done so quickly together. however, if we end up having to juggle multiple different puzzles and details, he might get too wrapped up in the details and get stuck on which one we need to work on first. I'll end up having to pull him away from something to get him to work on the first puzzle together, which will then quickly make all the other clues snap into place in Cyno's mind so then it'll be a breeze after that. we just have to get unstuck >u<

overall I think Cyno and I have a better escape room success rate than Ajax and I. but that's mainly because Cyno really enjoys the puzzles so we'd have the most fun by solving the escape room, while with Ajax, we don't take it as seriously and often tease each other to the point where we get distracted sometimes hehe. it would still be very fun to go to an escape room with either of them though c:

You haven't been here for a while, I hope you're doing great and enjoying your life ❤️

I am doing good! How have you been doing? 🤍

Hey, Gideon, do you feel guilty agreeing to take part in the asks in part because you thought Harrow would hate it now that you see she how she reacts when she does hate it?

for ease of explanation, gideons eye color is natural the same way an anime character can have naturally pink hair

[randomrottmntscreenshots]

Maybe an odd request but can you clip the first songs of the end credits for the rottmnt movie and show. It's kind of long so if you have a time limit a short bit is fine.

Full credits from the show and the movie, coming up

mammon finds smthn that happened in like human history and just comes to mc like

"mc did they try to stop this?"

"idk"

"how do you not know??!! youre human!!"

"mammon i was ONE"

LOL. Listen he's a demon, you can't really expect him to understand this human aging stuff!

I think it'd also be funny if it was something really old.

Mammon: MC, did you know about this Roman empire? They were conquering all kinds of places!

MC: Do you... think I was alive back then?

Mammon: ... weren't you?

MC: Do I LOOK like Solomon to you?!?
