#my experiment worked GAHAHA

[coolestclowns]

Hello! :D definitely feel free to ignore this but your bio says that dndads sketch reqs are encouraged so i figured i’d ask, could you maybe draw something Autumn Oak/Linda Stampler please? 

Definitely fine if not, thank you sm either way!! 

How would you feel if I said I put that in my bio specifically to see how long it'd take for you to ask this/pos (it was 5 days btw)

Anyways, they're bitching about their ex husbands :3(featuring Mr moustache)

[danieyells]

Could I pretty please ask for any Haru stuff you found? 🥺 I've been afflicted with the Haru simp disease and only information/content of him can cure me 🛐

HARU'S CHANGED MY FEELINGS ON HIM not that i disliked him at all before but like. . .you know how he acts like the team mom? His voicelines make this worse. I thought he was more like a meddlesome but chill guy with a lot of energy. The truth is this poor man is a single mother with two unruly kids, a house full of animals, and VIRTUALLY NO HELP BESIDES YOU. No wonder he drinks nearly every fucking night. I get why Jabberwock doesn't have ordinary students but jesus christ please get some helpers in here. My man is overworked.

I ended up putting almost all of them in because. . .he is struggling poor boy. I have officially edited this to contain all of Haru's voicelines! Sorry for the wait!!

"Everyone stuffs up sometimes. Don't let it get to you—just think of it as a funny story you can pull out later and laugh at! Gahaha!"

the only way he knows how to cope with his pain is to laugh at it. . .my therapist told me that was good actually! he's well adjusted! disregard the nightly drinking.

"You sure are fond of {PC}, aren't you, Peekaboo? You did nothing but bite me for the first three days after we met."

tbf you were from another house and it was probably fresh after the clash. . . .

Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)

Towa i love you but please help your mother boyfriend captain. . . .

Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Ah! I can't do dogs! How'd you get in here?! Towa!! Come here!! No!! Don't bite me!!"

He is terrified of dogs????? Towa absolutely electrocuted the shit out of that dog. Rip in pieces. That dog truly fucked around and found out. It will never go in the dorm again.

Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Thanks for helping out again today, you're a real lifesaver. Sorry I can't walk you back..."

get wasted with him and give him somebody to talk to!! he needs someone besides romeo and rui to listen to him rant sometimes!

Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)

"A soft bed to lie down in and someone to chat with till I drift off... I'm really living the high life here."

He's a simple man. . .it's easy to imagine him holding your hand here while he dozes off. . . .

Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)

"Really learned the ropes here, haven't you? Once we have a little cash to spare, I'll buy you your own Jabberwock uniform!"

they must be expensive if it takes until Affinity 25 to get you one! He's so conscious about his finances(disregard all of the stuff he buys and never uses--) that being given a purchased gift is surely the highest tier of affection from him haha. But also. . .he treats the anomalous animals and oftentimes even the other ghouls in Jabberwock like they're his kids. This is his way of saying 'you're part of this family too.' Which is very sweet.

Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)

"Today's shearing day for the fluffy squad! It's actually a pretty hefty task, so I've gotta hop to it if I want to be done before summer..."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Bucket, check. Trowel, check. Me and Towa are heading to the mountains to pick some veggies. You wanna come?"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"We've been getting a lot of balmy days lately, and the sun's up longer. Can't help but dilly-dally when I'm working..."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"I've gotta clean out all the sparrow nests soon or they won't be able to look after their kiddos properly. Looks like there's... 61 nests total..."

Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)

"A lot of customers have been saying they wanna stay cool in the summer so I changed up the course. Now we have a special summer-only waterside tour!"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"It's hot so I invited Ren to go fishing, but his face screwed up like a prune and he yelled at me. What's he got against fish?"

Probably the same thing you have against dogs. . . .

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Phew... Finally finished harvesting all the feed crops for the day... Everyone's health is dependent on their quality, so now's the time to do it right."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Lotta bugs around this time of year... But they're important for the food chain, so I've gotta take care of them... Argh!! Give it a rest with the buzzing!"

Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)

"Hey, nice timing! I'm about to make a fire with the dead leaves I collected so I can bake some potatoes, take a seat!"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"I like the Jabberwock uniforms. They're made out of high-performance fabric that keeps you warm when it's cold out and safe when you're handling venomous critters!"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"The hibernation squad's gonna start eating us out of house and home this month... The food bill's gonna be rough... Eeek!"

(between 8pm and 5am)

"You reckon that's a rabbit on the moon? No way, it's a toad! C'mon, look closer!"

apparently the pareidolic toad in the moon is a Chinese myth! I wonder if they mean to suggest Haru is actually Chinese.

Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)

"Rounds are quicker in winter since some of the critters hibernate. Makes things a little easie— Why's the kitchen on fire?!"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Brr... Can't help but get green-eyed looking at the furry critters when it's this cold..."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Nice and toasty... Hm? I'm talking about Peekaboo! He's better than a hot water bottle in this weather!"

Haru putting Peekaboo on your tummy when you're having cramps or just in pain in general is a cute mental image, especially since Peekaboo likes you lol

(between 8pm and 5am)

"It's cold outside so some of the critters have been sneaking into our rooms at night. You heard Ren scream just now, right?"

His birthday: (September 20th)

"It's my birthday?! Oops, totally slipped my mind... Thanks for remembering!"

Your birthday:

"Happy birthday. The Capybus is all yours today—I've got a custom birthday tour all planned out for you!"

New Years: (January 1st)

"Happy New Year! How'd I ring it in? I was milking the cow and when I looked up I'd totally missed the first sunrise! Gahaha!"

Valentine's Day: (February 14th)

"You're kidding, I can really have this?! They say a little sugar helps sweeten a tired day! Thanks a million, this'll keep me going a while!"

White Day: (March 14th)

"Ta-da! I bought you some hand cream, for the chocolate you got me last month. Thanks for everything you do here."

hand cream when you do all of that manual labor and probably have to wash your hands a lot is a really practical gift actually, gg haru

April Fool's Day: (April 1st)

"Can you believe this? Ren got up early, and Towa fed everyone for me! ...Tried to make a joke for April Fools but it just made me feel empty inside..."

Halloween: (October 31st)

"Check it out! The pumpkin Capybus, in town for three days only! I sacrificed sleep and some of our budget to get her ready!"

If it's painted I really hope that paint is waterproof. . .never know when Towa's gonna make it rain. . . .

Christmas: (December 25th)

"Merry Christmas! This is a reindeer, she lives up in the mountains! And I'm Sagara Claus! Gahaha!"

just don't let romeo see it lolol

Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)

"Hey there, miss! Looking gorgeous as ever! ...Wait, I was kidding! Come back!"

(13 affinity and above)

"You seem pretty flat out today... Nothing for it, I'll get a few other things out of the way while I wait for you to get back."

Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)

"Phew, that's a relief... I was worried one of ours ate you... Glad to see you back."

Once again. . .an absolute sweetheart. And a single mother who is desperately in need of some help around the house. That April Fool's line really got me lolol poor guy. All of his have a lot of energy to them so i feel like i posted more than Haku, who's kind of a more low key guy lol. . . .

[morticry]

working on something I've never tried before. wip pics and the closest thing to a plan drawing I have from a story post. flying by the seat of my pants, feeling a bit like I'm the other[father] in coraline GAHAHA. it's Tracy!

documenting the process,

forgot the glue stick supports in his boots, tried to melt the glue back out of them after curing the polymer clay in the oven, ended up toasting everything. I'll either make him new boots or rework my bubbly coal blobs with some sandpaper to remember the chaos. the process is a meaningful part of an artwork, yeah? imagine, someone in your apartment building tossing a smoking baking sheet of tin foil and miniature body parts into the back lot.

haven't really looked at any tutorials so far except for one in anticipation of hair making+gluing, but have been paying attention to @strangegutz work for inspiration and some visual guidance.

polymer clay for the head and parts [no clay tools, just hands and a sewing needle], a flexible armature + old socks sewn into shape for the body, more socks glued around his arms and legs to bulk them up, and fabric scraps for clothing [even more socks and the cut off sleeves of t-shirts, so far]. his sock body is sort of sewn into a corset and then darned into shape, with parts of his sweater attached to it after; it's the handiwork of someone who only knows practical sewing skills, but I find it charming. he is handmade, I think that should show, and I don't feel like stressing on this project. I'll pad his shoulders a little more to fix the length of his neck, under his jacket. he should be able to pose in the end but he may not be able to stand from being top heavy. if I make new boots, there's a chance I can balance him back out.

his waistline stitching is lazy because it's a placeholder, until he has a full sweater and I know how much of the waist to cut out to leave enough gap to tuck his sweater in in the front [it's pinned in the image]. I don't have much clay left, but he'll get a little belt to cover whatever seam crimes continue to occur. his ears are very bulky to support his jewelry. holding my breath until his paint job is done.

I don't think you really need to know what you're doing or have any fancy materials or tools to attempt a project like this. just, a desire to try and some curious interest in problem solving. and some junk around the house. it's a good learning experience, no matter how it pans out, but I'm hopeful.

[joja-apologist]

oh my Yoba you're alive. Thank goodness. I was worried when I hadn't seen you for a while on my dash. Welcome back!

GAHAHA I promise I'm very VERY alive! I just also very much so have an entire career now and I'm like THIS close to getting a degree in said career field so I've been SUPER occupied.

Looking back, I also honestly don't blame you for worrying either 💀 When I was super into SDV prior, when I was the most active here and around the community when I was 17-18, I was going through one of the worst times of my entire life and it very much so shows to me now in retrospect, throughout... like. Every ounce of interaction I've had with SDV. It was such a massive coping mechanism for me that I also genuinely felt like I had almost ruined it for myself for a while because I felt like I used it to express something really inherently ugly? But even though I feel like yeah my past was laced heavily with ugly, that's the past. So much has changed. I'm an actual adult with an actual life now, and I feel like a real person if that? Makes sense?? SORRY THIS IS PROBABLY WAY HEAVIER THAN ANYONE WAS EXPECTING FROM AN ASK OF MINE BUT 💀💀 I feel it important to state regardless. I have a proper grasp on my own identity and so much more life experience and a renewed ability to revisit this piece of media to love it again, but now for a much much healthier reason. And I wanna start creating SDV content again due to that!

At work all day today I was going over how I think I want to touch up and then continue my SDV fic in particular? I've been doing a ton of writing over the past few years, and while I do still draw as much as possible, writing is more accessible to me atm with my crammed schedule. So maybe I'll have some writing for y'all if I can manage to squeeze that in time-wise? Culinary school has absolutely devoured all my free time though so that could be another few months out, but WE WILL SEE!!

Either way, sorry for the very gigantic ask response, and thank you so much for sticking around and remembering me. Know that above all else... no matter where I am, in the end, I shall ALWAYS thrive. I promise 💕

big text about situation and my thoughts on taboo subjects with tmn/t fanwork, very big text, lookout :v

my instincs where right, almost everyone back in 2010ish drew the turtles in romantic/sexual situations. Even the ones that claim that now detest it (wich is fine by me, people grow up on taste)

makes me sad that people have to hide it now, and pretend to be a right individual (something that don't exist) but acting in toxic behavior like, the state of community is so, divided. But isn't even the "truth"

the truth is:

things just happen to be fun to draw it, to new people (like me per example) because of the taboo nature of this shipp. its interesting to me to explore this type of level of relationshipp between them.

it will be gross, delusional, cute, whatever my mind feels like it.

but i don't wanna have to explain myself of "why i like this and not a healthy and rightful type of pair"

because of course i do have some, but none of them i have to hide and create another account to talk and interact about. I end up making up a alt blog so i wont be feeling punished to like this "nasty pairing"

gahaha wich is true, love u sibling ain't right but I write and draw about fictional mutant turtles doing it, wich happen to be created like brothers. crazy huh.

and that is it, I guess what happened to be feeling so bad to touch about this subject with clearity and logic is mostly a new wave, a new generation of mentality, of interacting with the tmnt franchise. Things got... terrible after rise was made. i dunno exactly how to explain but i saw things happening, was a bunch of external factors.

mostly playing with the idea that "if you draw inc3st/under4ge you are a p3do" and 18 years old me was a mess already and seeing this stuff being shout on me got me paranoid.

medias that are problematic and taboo, are PROHIBITED even to interacting with (you know like, kinda of facist way to aproach taboo situations in literature and media, like critizise rather than prohibition would be the the right thing to do, but okay then) urgh it was so fast and then now idk maybe i'm in the wrong from liking this shit.

But I still want to mess up a little bit because indepedent how others feel about this subject of incest in fiction is something I rather write, draw about because right now I'm feeling nasty and wrong. And there is something I dislike is lying to myself.

its is just a cartoon in the end right?

Can a messed up individual mess up a little to then learn my lesson and start liking normal things?

In the end I'm the only that will forgive my wrongs, not a society and bar of morals and ideals that in the end don't really matter when it focus on "Ifs" rather then real Actions.

I should revise it tomorrow but, I know myself, and i hope people around get it with time,

there are things I dislike, things i find horrid and I will never say "its okay to draw it and show to the world its just a cartoon anyway"

when is about mensages in your art and nuances to what subject should be experimented with when, some are harmless, fictional ideas that people know are wrong but like to play with (inc3st, r4pe, under4ge, antrop0fagia per example) and there is a "hold up" moment when it becomes ofensive, derogatory and outdated (like when the author play this subjects in his serious works for poorly made shock humor, or worst, agreeing with it)

it depends in what you do with this subjects, of course this things and many others are wrong and never should be romantizised or make in a way that the author justify and agree with this subjects.

This is what critical thinking is for.

wich liking me or not, mostly people lack of it. common sense.

but who I'm to talk about common sense ima right?

[tech-obssessed-shark]

Hehe

-Rodimus, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Mirage, and Smokescreen are adopted siblings (Adoption order from first to last: Bumblebee, Mirage, Cliffjumper, Smokescreen, Rodimus (as Hot Rod)) (Chaotic Siblings is their name)

That’s silly hehe- I’m kind of imagining Bumblebee being this silly little guy but when he’s with his bros he sometimes has to pull his “RID2015” side to get them to chill. It will be funny seeing them interact hehehe- Also having Cliffjumper as the middle child is so real because I feel he’s pretty forgotten about as a silly dude lol(Bee is bee, Mirage is in ROTB, Smokescreens in TFP, and Rodimus in G1, MTMTE, etc.). 

-Knockout and Breakdown are conjunxed

YESSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSSS- Sorry I love it when things are like in IDW and seeing KOBD together is great! They’re a pair that can’t be bought separately. I hope they have a nice little family (cough cough Wildbreak).

-Arcee is the mom/older sister of the Chaotic Siblings 

Yeah I definitely see this, especially after watching TFP Arcee gahaha. I hope she can get a break some of the time lol. 

-Knockout and Black Arachnia were the doctors that did the Triple Changer experiments, but only Black Arachnia's experiments survived (Astrotrain and Blitzwing)

Oooooo the tea! I wonder if Knockout feels anything because of this? Like is he upset that wasn’t as good as Arachnia? Does he even feel bad about experimenting on people and causing them to die? Or does he just pretend it doesn’t happen? Anyways Black Arachnia is a slay girlboss as always.

-Blitzwing and Astrotrain don’t have medical insurance/easy access to medical care (they don’t really like the medics the faction has…) so they just help each other out and do really desperate shit to make sure they don’t break apart

Hm, I wonder if either of them would specialize in fixing people? Or if they would have someone specific like Nickel to help them out? I know they can patch out each other but it’d probably help more if either had actual medical knowledge gahahaha. 

-Blitzwing gets nightmares (paralysis dreams, experiment reliving, face shattering like glass, being helpless, etc)

Makes sense considering all he has been through. It’d be wild if he didn’t have any effects later. 

-Black Arachnia, while looking like her TFA design, is not Elita One (Elita One is more similar to her pink designs).

Interestingggggg- That’ll be fun to see how exactly Black Arachnia came to be considering(I have only watched TFA Arachnia after all-)

-With Bumblebee and Astrotrain, at least one of them has to be alive. They can’t both be dead at the same time… unless I want to kill Blitzwing off in the darkest way (I won’t… for now)

NEVERRRRRRRRRRR

-The Allspark is Primus’s Spark

Yeah that makes sense considering it makes sense and wouldn’t question it if it was canon in some series. 

-The Allspark can shatter

Wah oh, that’s no good. 

-The Matrix can break into three pieces and still work (basically how Rodimus can be a Prime while Optimus is still alive)

YIPEEEEEE I do like having characters be alive. Though I wonder where would be the third piece of the Matrix? Hmmmm?

-Primus cries silvery tears that gives Cybertronians a bit of an “acid trip”

:0000000 RUNG HAS CRYSTAL METH EYES!

-Synth-En exists, and Ratchet has the only source of it (he makes it himself and keeps it himself)

Gahhhh Ratchet don’t be greedy!(Though I understand how dangerous it could be to just share that stuff around even if it is a replacement for food, could lead to a lot of issues)

-Dark Energon *might* exist, but it’s just a rumor

GAHAHAHAHAHA well if there’s a Unicron there’s a way

-the height ratio of Bumblebee to Blitzwing is proportional to the height ratio of Blitzwing to Astrotrain (Up to the hip)

Gahahahaha Bee’s tiny! Or Blitzys big! Either way it’s just a little silly haha. 

-Astrotrain might be depressed

I am raising my eyebrow like the homophobic dog right now gahahaha- After all he’s been through it makes sense if he’s not the most mentally stable lol. Though it would be interesting to see how the mental issues of Blitzwing and Astrotrain diverge from their experiments.

TFFL FACTS PART TWO

-Rodimus, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Mirage, and Smokescreen are adopted siblings (Adoption order from first to last: Bumblebee, Mirage, Cliffjumper, Smokescreen Rodimus (as Hot Rod)) (Chaotic Siblings is their name)

BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE WILL BE A PART THREE

[grimae]

Any information about Fortuna? I know you don't draw them too often, but I always really liked their design and they seem like an interesting character.

Oh he’s my most dear disaster child to be honest, and I should really draw him more often. Working on him and his dad’s story part is still a thing I need to work on. I think this is going to be much, so I’m going to apologize for the length of this text beforehand, gahaha. Born in the year 1120 as the child to a skilled alchemist, Gabriel Amecke, Fori’s life went wrong from the very first day on. Gabriel was fascinated by dragons and the way they change the face of the land with their steps, their movement. Morbidly fascinated, to say, as he started to more and more wonder about finding ways to contain the magical essence of a dragon, killing them without the need to use the sword of the respective dragonand thus removing the danger of the magical radiation from a dragon. And to his luck, he lived near one - Behemoth, a living forest, giant, monstrous, and calm. 

Noticing the alchemists research a wild god named Duredhel approached him in the woods, promising him his support, as the dragon had been a thorn in his eye for long.  Together they found a way to kill the dragon, or so they thought - as the experiment failed.  Behemoth, now reduced to a somewhat undead husk of his former self, started to taint the region with his blood spilling out of the countless wounds his body had suffered. The change was slow, but over the course of barely three years the area was not able to be inhabited anymore. Cecilia, his wife, already figured out what was going on, and put him in front of an ultimatum - face the dragon once more and try to fix his mistakes (even tho she was aware it would end in his useless death) or take their child, Fori, then 4 years old, and leave.  The choice was clear for Gabriel, so he traveled north to Bacharach with Fori.  Many people were put in front of the same question as well - stay, and try to survive, or escape.  Soon everyone who suspected something, or figured out his work as well, was either dead or scattered through the lands. Everything seemed clear for a fresh start, as an alchemist was always welcome in many cities, providing important work. But the past was already starting to catch up.  Gabriel, growing older, and damaged by the magical radiation Behemoth and his death put on him, raised his child to be his apprentice in the laboratory.  There was a reason Gabriel traveled north, tho, as a friend of his, a surgeon lived in that very town.  When Fortuna was born, he was blind damaged by the magic Cecilia was put in front of unknowingly, but together with the help of said surgeon, Gabriel tried to restore his son’s sight. And it worked! For once, one of his riskiest endeavours worked out.  The years passed, and went rather peacefully. Fori grew into a rather skilled alchemist as well, but barely understanding anything about his past. It was nebulous to him. There were key moments, he knew of his former blindness and that he had to tell no one of it, he knew of Duredhel, he knew of his mother having left him - but that was it. Gabriel still worked closely with the surgeon together, providing medical equipemt and tinctures, and it came to happen that one day the surgeon had a new apprentice - a young man named Rafael. His two older sisters were already learning under the same trade by the same person.  Fortuna and Rafael became good friends, working together and during time Fori learned that Rafael was actually a mage, something he tried to keep hidden as being able to use magic was seen as dangerous in their society. As his family became aware of it as well, he was sent to leave and his sisters, the only part of his family that would still treat him well took him in. Now with Rafael learning under the very same person that Gabriel went to for help and being a close friend to Fortuna and his father, the mage started to uncover, slowly, just how deep rabbit hole went.  The two stayed friends, never the less, Rafael fully understanding that he knew too much, but their town started to notice that the man was a mage in truth, and became wary of him. Gabriel, now fearing about both his secret and Rafael’s life helped him to flee, and thus he traveled east, leaving behind his former life, in search for a new place to be. A year later, Gabriel finally succumbed to his wounds and damaged body, and died.  Fori, now having lost both his best friend and his father, then started to uncover his past as well realising the damage his father’s work did to Behemoth, as well as an old friend reconnecting with him - Duredhel. In short, the story of Gabriel is about a coward who tried to atone for his grave mistakes the wrong way, and the story of Fortuna is that of a child being born into a life worse than he deserved, with problems to mend that were not his.

And as another little funfact, yes that Rafael is the one who would later become part of the vampire clan of the Istrati. 

Gods I wrote way too much but the second I get going, man. The year numbers btw do not correlate to real world, Skinda has a different way of setting time, and many regions have different year zeros.

Saviour : Chapter 21

"Why is it that every time you train with Vice Admiral you get injured so much?" Zack sighed as he put a band aid on Emilia's forehead. The child in-front of him had a bruise which now attained a blueish color and a bulge. "It never happens when Bogard-San trains you."

Emilia raised her hands and  pressed on the band-aid and nervously laughed. "Garp-san has always been rough with his training. I used to run away from him when ever I got the chance back in Goa Kingdom."

"So.." Zack continued as he started putting his stuff back into the first aid box. "What was the training this time?"

Zack mentally prepared himself. Garp had always made up stupid training because he always felt left out when Bogard would train Emilia.

Just last week, the old man tied Emilia on a rope and threw her out of their marine ship.

"Gah?!" Zack shouted, panicking as Emilia, almost drowning ,  struggled to stay afloat since her arms were also tied up. "What are you doing Vice-Admiral?! Emilia will drown!"

"GAHAHA!" The old man crossed his arms and laughed proudly. "With this training Emilia will become one with the sea and become much stronger!"

"You do realize that doesn't make sense right?!"

"Huh...Are you doubting my training?" Garp stopped laughing and glared at Zack making him shiver under his gaze. "Guess you also need some training."

Garp also tied a rope around Zack and threw him off the ship and anyone who questioned his training method. And at the end of the day more than half of squad were in the sea, struggling to survive and fighting off any sea monsters.

"He blindfolded me and made me put of some ear plugs to cancel the sound. After that he beat me with my kendo stick." Emilia pouted. Although it might sound insane and impossible to counter back,she did think it might be helpful.

Without sight or hearing ability you start paying attention to every detail making you haki much stronger. But at the level she was in, all she got as a full on beating from the merciless Vice admiral.

Zack sighed. He goes too far sometimes but we cant go against him...

Just then something crossed his mind. "Emilia are you free during our break next week?" He smiled.

"You do know I am 10 turning 11 years right? How old are you?? 30?" Emilia said in a stoic tone. "And you call your self a marine..heh..."

Zack stilled for a moment before his face turned red in embarrassment at what Emilia was implying. "That's not what I meant! I'm not asking you on a date!!! Also I'm just 23!"

Emilia bringing her hands covering her mouth giggled. "I was joking" she then look at him in his eyes and smiled. "What is it?"

"I uh..." Zack scratched his hands at the back of his hands face blushing a bit. "I thought I would like you to meet my girlfriend"

Emilia eyes widened a bit.

"You know we have started dating for a while but I liked her from way before and ..." The man continued on.

"Why" Emilia's soft voice questioned making the guys stop his ramble.

"Why not?" Zack said as he smiled. "We've known each other for almost 2 years now Emilia and now I want the two people precious to me meet, that's all!"

This was the first time in a while,at least ever since she left Goa kingdom, her heart filled with joy giving her a giddy experience.

"No that not what my question meant. Why would anyone be dating you??" Emilia lied, just to tease him  abit.

"I swear you're nice to everyone except me."

"That's because I feel comfortable enough to do that to you"

.....

"Emilia!" Garp called out looking at the girl who was simply looking at the sea with a dazed look. The weather was good and she didn't have anything to do.

Hearing her name being called out she turned around and faced Garp, slightly tilting her head.

"Starting tomorrow we will have a break of 3 days. I'm thinking of going to Goa Kingdom" Garp said as he put his hands in his pocket and walked towards the girl. "Do you want to come as well? You can meet the boys."

"No." Emilia simply said

"Eh...what did you say." His eyebrows knitted her asked. She didn't want to go with him...or meet the boys...? Was his precious granddaughter in her rebellious phase...?

"I've made plans with Zack so I'm going with him tomorrow." Emilia explained.

Zack who heard the conversation,gulped loudly.

Garp's face was blank for a few seconds before he shouted.

"ZACK!!! HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY PRECIOUS GRANDDAUGHTER AWAY FROM ME?!".

...

Emilia walked beside Zack. They were currently in marine ford headquarters and as some of you may know beside the Main offices at the center there are residential areas at the sides.They were currently headed there.

Emilia looked at Zack holding a bouquet in his hands,a small smile on his face, obviously looking forward to meet his lover. Emilia also noted that she didn't have to walk fast next to him unlike when she did when ever she was walking beside Garp or any of the other grown ups. Zack simply slowed his pace down so that's she could walk without rushing him self.

Soon they reached in front of a door of a small house. Inhaling deeply Zack knocked. This man was really out there getting nervous to see his own lover. This almost made Emilia want to tease him then and there.

Few seconds later the door creaked open. A woman with short blonde hair and green eyes appear her face showed a surprise expression at first and then a wide smile formed.

"Zack!" The woman laughed and opened her arms and jumped towards the man attempting to hug him.

"Wait Claire!!!"

"AH!!! THE BOUQUET!!!"

......

"Hehehe Sorry about that." Claire said, face a bit red,blushing. "And you are?"

"My name is Emilia. Ainsworth Emilia." Emilia replied as she sat down on the chair of their dining table. "Currently I'm waiting to get older so that I join the marine. Till then I will still be with the marine crew but I wont be able to do any official work." She explained assuming that Claire will soon ask what she was doing with the marine.

"Eh? Marine. Directly at the age of 13?"Claire gasped "How old are you right now?"

"I'll be turning 11 soon."

Claire eyes widened and the strayed to look at Zack asking for confirmation.

"Sorry the say this but she is right. That little girl doesn't act liked her age at all. Even her strength is like an elephant"  Zack sighed "Must be from Garp's side of the family" he muttered as he picked his cup from the table and sipped on his tea.

Emilia eyes widened slightly... She forgot to tell him Garp and her aren't related by blood...

"You!" Claire raised her hands and smacked the back of Zack's head making his choke on his drink and Emilia winch at the sound of him getting hit. That must have hurt.

"What was that for?" Zack managed to say in between his cough,hands at the back of his head rubbing it to sooth the pain even abit.

"You should never compare a lady to an elephant,dear!" Claire shouted. "On top look at Emilia! There no denying that girl is really beautiful! Super cute!!" She pointed at  Emilia.

Zack's eye twitched and look at Emilia only to get annoyed at her giving him a smug expression. This brat is enjoying this...

"Claire,I didn't notice that at all!" Zack said as he held Claire's hand. "That must be because no one is more beautiful than you" Zack said ,hoping his lover wont be angry at him anymore with this cheesy line. Emilia really tried her best to hold back her expression. She almost gagged in disgust at the show of affection in front of her.

Claire eyes widened and a blush formed on her face. "Oh you!! You make me blush!" Claire brought one hand on her face,smiling and the other hand slapped Zack making him fall from his chair.

"ACK!"

.....

Emilia watched Claire chop some vegetables. Right now Claire was making lunch for them. Zack had currently went out to buys some meat, Claire wanted in her beef stew.

"Do you want me to help,Claire san? " Emilia asked as she walked towards the blonde woman.

"Claire is fine." She corrected Emilia." And Emilia you're the guest. You can just sit down and relax. Besides I'm almost done chopping these up haha."

Emilia didn't move. It made her feel abit awkward, going away when someone was working also since back in Goa kingdom, it was Emilia who did most of the cooking,after all those boys were horrible at it.

"Emilia..." Claire said as she put her knife down and walked towards the sink to wash her hands. "Can..Can you tell me how Zack is at work?"

Emilia said nothing for a few seconds.

Claire laughed abit. "You see..." she started "He never really talks about these and always avoids talking about it... He isn't strong at all but he always wanted to be a marine. He accepted his weakness and so then studied really hard so he can get in as a navigator in the marine."

"But he probably still feels abit insecure by it." Claire's eyes dropped and smiled sadly. "But for me...Since I knowing how hard he always worked always made me proud of him..."

After that there was a brief silence.

"He is weak." Emilia said. Claire's eyes widened at the girl's bluntness. "Even I can also probably beat him. He panics every time we face an enemy..."

"But then he always makes sure to check up on me and make sure I am safe...He is the friendliest and kindest person in the crew. Even when I joined that crew, he was one of the first people who treated me as a person and not a burden since most thought of it that way as i am a child."

"He is also very knowledgeable" She continued. "He really taught me alot related to navigation. He is also one of the few people who I've opened up to."

"He gets frustrated when I make fun of him but then he never actually gets angry. That's the kind of person he is.Everyone on the ships likes him." Emilia smiled. "So I don't think you have to worry, Claire. And even if there is danger,I'll be sure to protect him."

Claire teared up and kneeled down to hug Emilia ,smiling "Thank you, Emilia".

If me and Zack will ever have a child, I want the child to be like you, Emilia.

"I'm Back!"

Zack shouted from the entrance and walked directly towards the kitchen. "Here Claire."

"Thank you ,darling." Claire said taking the grocery bag from Zack, kissing his cheeks and walking towards the kitchen.

"Emilia." Zack called out. "Follow me" he said and walked towards another room.

Confused but nevertheless Emilia followed Zack in a room. Zack opened the room. It was filled with boxes stacked one on top of another. Zack then crouched down and took out one of the boxes. A rectangular looking box which was quite long.

He blew on top of the box to make the dust go way and then opened it.

"What is it?" Emilia questioned curiously, trying to peek to see what was in the box.

"Here" Zack pulled out the item and handed it to Emilia.

"A sword..." Emilia was surprised.

"It was my grandfather's. He used this when he was also in the marine." Zack explained. "My dad didn't want to be a marine so this sword was directly given to me by my grandfather before he passed away."

"Is...Is it okay for me to have this?" Emilia asked gripping gently on the sword. "It must be precious to you..."

"It is." Zack smiled. "But I don't know how to use this nor do I think I can ever fight."

Zack brought his hands up and placed them on Emilia's head. "Besides it's always better to make use of things. Take good care of it,Emilia"

"I will."

"Also Emilia " Zack continued,making the girl look at it. He closed the previous one box and slid it to it's original place. "That sword has a name."

"A name..." Emilia whispered. This sword was a meitou.

"The name is Tenryu" He said. "Beautiful name,isn't it?" The question making Emilia nod.

Emilia was touched. For Zack to give something of such importance for him to her.

"But it looks like you'll have to grow more,for you to use it. Hahahaha" Zack laughed. "That sword is longer than you."

Maybe now was the moment to see if the sword got blunt or not. Emilia glared at Zack.

Just then Calire called out from the kitchen saying the lunch was ready. The food was delicious, The couple infront of Emilia were cheerful and kind. This made her feel as if she was back...back in her own world...

I miss them...

🌼🍩👉🍺💣♬💀☕⚠✂🎬🍔💾☂☁🎮🐙🍀

this is too much for me to draw the answers individually…. BUT I’LL ANSWER IN TEXT FORM ANYWAY GAHAHA………….

(if you’re just SOOO curious to see more of my art head over to my deviantart tabberhatter.deviantart.com)

🌼: What are your favorite clothes to wear when you’re relaxing?

a very soft tshirt and some shorts is all I need!! its pretty hot here so that’s the norm, in winter the shorts are replaced with warm pj pants

🍩: What’s your favorite snack?

my favorite changes like, weekly. I’m fickle when it comes to food, my tastes change a lot yet I still manage to be picky. anyway, I like snacking on potato chips with ranch dip

👉: How do you sit when you draw?

it shifts SO OFTEN, like, i constantly move in my seat but my feet are rarely on the floor, at least. im a pretzel is basically what i’m trying to say

🍺: What’s the biggest mistake you make that impacts your art/drawing process?

well I’m not so sure atm, because nowadays I just lack motivation and “mood” to draw, but my biggest mistake that I learned to deal with is the frustration that a picture isn’t looking the way I want to. I’d usually get irritated and give up but I learned the motto of… just tweak it. just keep tweaking and fixing and changing until I am 100% satisfied. I dont allow myself to post anything anymore that I’m not at least 98% satisfied with, everything else just stays in my junk

💣: What site do you think you’re most active on?

tumblr definitely

♬: What do you like to listen to/have on in the background when you draw?

whatever music i’m into at the moment BUT sometimes I dont want to listen to music and just wanna hear someone talk?? in that case I just put on a lets play and draw from there

💀: Show something you drew a long time ago that at the time you were proud of.

i’m kinda tired rn and i can’t find it in my folders but tbh most of my really old art is lost and that makes me sad

☕: Coffee or Tea?

i much prefer coffee

⚠: Have you ever taken an art class?

does high school freshmen art class with a teacher that didn’t actually teach count? otherwise no sigh.... i really wanna take some college art classes....

✂: What’s you astrology sign, zodiac, and MBTI?

wwait isn’t astrology sign the same thing as zodiac? but uh I’m aries and my mbti is infj

🎬: What is your favorite kind of clothing?

REALLY COLORFUL CUTE CLOTHES I can’t stress this enough, my style is so “cute shirt with colorful shorts” kinda deal

🍔: Do you have OCs? If so, which is your favorite?

uhhh yes?? and uhhhh   no??? I CANT PICK ANY THEYRE MY CHILDREN

💾: What do you love to draw?

poses, expressions, rough sketches

☂: What do you hate to/can’t draw?

UGH okay so environments are fun to draw occasionally but for every picture??? its just too hard and exhausting OTL

☁: Guilty pleasure?

nnaruto ocs…… i have……17…… now……. and they’re decently fleshed out……… why am i like this literally who cares about naruto

🎮: Do you prefer video games or TV shows/movies?

i dont know? I love watching shows/anime but I also love a lot of video games so I’m not sure. unless you mean like, cable tv and going to the movies then no, give me splatoon

🐙: What do you suggest to beginner artists in terms of work ethic?

keep drawing, draw for yourself, but dont force it. evolving your art shouldn’t be forced, you should stay motivated but if you absolutely have no drive to draw, then dont. keep experimenting!

🍀: How do you become motivated to draw?

honestly recently its been a problem of my circumstances and overall state of mind thats blocking me from working on a picture for more than two hours

thanks so much for asking!! I feel bad for not drawing them out but these are just too many

[Chapter One Start] Something Otterly Unexpected

Servo clutches his head with a puzzled expression. Above him materializes the frame of an… Otter?!

It starts to look kind of like Mr. Otter. That is, until the fur of the animal glitches to an unnatural black and white. He drops from the air onto the counter. There’s an unnatural grin stretched across his face, only on one side too. Servo’s body jerks before stiffening.

“Good afternoon, students!” The otter speaks. It’s tone is jarringly cheerful, almost stabbing you with it’s mirth.

“I know you all signed up for a vacation experiment, but I have different plans in mind for you! This is a hijacking, if that wasn’t clear. Your time will be used for a much more important experiment! Mine, that is! Ethics boards don’t let you do anything fun anymore. Or, really what I mean is anything useful. So I’m taking over this simulation to get real work done, alright?”

“I want to know what drives people to murder. Every so often, on a regular schedule, I’m going to present to all of you a motive. The point is to get you to kill someone. I don’t care how you do it, just get someone’s heart to stop beating. Each new area given to you will have plenty of different ways you can get creative with offing a classmate. This is meant to be stressful, but there’s prizes in store if you play along! Or I should say there’s compensation at the end. You only have to kill one person a motive, but if you take out more in one shot, well then that’s just more work for your friends. But kill no more than say, hm... three people. That’s a lot.”

“Murder on it’s own is boring, so if someone dies, you get to have your own little mock trial. If only we had some law students here! Trials are pretty simple, or I think they are because I’ve looked at my plans for them for so long, gahaha! When someone dies, you all get several days to investigate the scene of the crime and the body. Then we hold a trial, and you all will decide who is guilty! I’ll explain it all more when someone’s dead, but for now you can look forward to that.”

“If you don’t like my motive enough to kill for it, then I’ll work something out, okay? I’m a person in an otter suit of my word, I can guarantee every motive I present has real reward and risk! There will be a grand total of five motives presented to you. The first motive will come after I settle in here and get a rope on every nook and cranny. And no, you cannot leave before the experiment is done.”

“Before you all go asking who I am, I will only say that I am Anonymous! The body I am using is called Monootter now, though, he’s here to help things run smoothly. I’m uploading his AI to take over after I’m done with your debriefing. And-”

But, Anonymous’- or, Monootter’s- speech is interrupted by someone...

Dante 4/23: Guida Regalo (TN: Regalo Guide)

When she goes to return Imperati Falco, Dante appears to be going out…

~*Scene: Hallway*~

(*knock knock)

Dante: Come in

~*Scene: Chief Executive’s Office*~

Dante: Well, Ojou-san. You seem well now

❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual

Person: I’m glad that she’s better

Person: It’s about time for my appointment

Arcana: I should tell someone

Dante: Oh, you came all the way here to return that?

Dante: I’m glad it was able to help you

Felicita: Yeah

Dante: Oh right!

❤≪Dante≫ Seems to be plotting

Person: I’ll ask Ojou-san

Person: I’m glad that she’s better

Person: It’s about time for my appointment

Felicita: ?

Dante: This is a personal request but…

Dante: There’s somewhere I want to go with you

~*Scene: Fiore Street*~

~*Scene: Ristorante*~

Dante: Hi, sorry to keep you waiting!

❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual

Person: I hope this can be of some help

Person: Ojou-san is worth a hundred others

Arcana: I hope this isn’t unreasonable

Federica: Well, so the fifth was Ojou-san then

Dante: So you’re already familiar with Federica. The others are…

Sabine: Ojou-san, thank you for always coming to our ristorante. I’m the owner, Sabine

Teodoro: I’m the owner of a café in the harbor, my name is Teodoro. Nice to meet you

Dante: They are representatives of private businesses

Dante: As you know, tourism has become an important source of revenue in Regalo

Dante: So, how can we satisfy the tourists that visit?

Dante: This is a subject that businesses and we of Arcana Famiglia should work together on

Federica: Regalo used to be the destination for the elderly who wanted to improve their health with a change of climate but…there are more young people lately

Sabine: But, we don’t really understand what those people are looking for

Teodoro: So we asked Dante to bring someone young from the Family. I’m glad it’s you, Ojou-san. I’m looking forward to talking with you today!

Dante: Then, let’s get started

Dante: Sabine, in this ristorante…

Dante: You’ve developed a dish that you want the people visiting Regalo to try, right?

Sabine: Yes! I think the flavor is something that will be enjoyed by people of all ages, wherever they come from!

Teodoro: Th, this is!?

Teodoro: Pesce scorfano!? (TN: red scorpionfish)

Sabine: Yes, I’m impressed that you know it

Teodoro: They live in Regalo harbor after all. But, isn’t it hard to consistently obtain ones that are the correct size for cooking?

Sabine: Well, it’s special to Regalo. Our establishment has connections with fishermen that go back generations after all

Dante: It’s a specialty that you can make since you’re a long-established ristorante, right?

Sabine: Come on, try it! I’m confident in the flavor

Dante: Well, if you insist

❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual

Food: This looks delicious!!

Person: Ojou-san is worth a hundred others

Arcana: I hope this isn’t unreasonable

Food: I want a drink

Dante: I would like a drink to go along with it but…

Felicita: *glare*

Dante: Gahaha! I’m joking. We’re working after all

~*Scene: Ristorante*~

Federica: Mm, it’s delicious…! The freshness of the fish is definitely important for this dish

Federica: That must be why you want the people who visit Regalo to try it…

Sabine: That’s exactly it, Federica!

Sabine: I think this dish is “something you can only eat in Regalo”

Sabine: But, having people eat it is the fastest way to get that across…

Teodoro: Hm~. So it becomes a problem of the chicken or the egg, right?

Dante: So first, we need to make sure visitors know about a dish they need to try…

❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual

Food: This is delicious!!

Food: I want a drink

Arcana: I hope this isn’t unreasonable

Dante: Ojou-san, what do you think we should do?

>How about canning it for a souvenir?

(No Amore)

>You could have a tasting…

(+10 Amore)

>How about telling people in advance?

(+20 Amore)

Federica: …Canning…?

Dante: …Ojou-san…that would be a little difficult…

Dante: Even when we’re on the ship, we don’t use canned goods if we can help it

Dante: In the end, canning completely changes the flavor…

Teodoro: And there isn’t a canning facility on the island

Sabine: I appreciate the suggestion…but I really would rather see customers eat my cooking

Felicita: *sigh*

Sabine: Oh my, Ojou-san! Please don’t be discouraged

Sabine: I understand what you wanted to get across!

Dante: A tasting? You mean for this pesce scorfano acqua pazza? (TN: fish poached in a broth)

Sabine: Letting people know about the taste of our food first is certainly a good idea

Federica: But Sabine, I don’t think taste is all there is to cooking

Federica: Your ristorante is a famous one that has continued for generations…

Teodoro: Yes, you’re right. It provides flavor, a place, and a time…

Teodoro: I’m sure the people who visit Regalo want to enjoy that as well

Felicita: *sigh*

Sabine: Oh my, Ojou-san! Please don’t be discouraged

Sabine: I know that you thought about that carefully!

Dante: Telling them in advance?

Teodoro: Hm~, you mean advertising?

Sabine: Even so…I only know how to cook…

Felicita: No

Federica: It looks like that’s not what Ojou-san is trying to say

Dante: Then…we should have an explanation of the menu?

Dante: But that still won’t tell everyone that this is a dish “you can only eat in Regalo”

Dante: So it’s about how we can bring customers into this ristorante…

Felicita: Yeah

Dante: You seem confident

❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual ❤≪Dante≫ Seems concerned ❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual

Food: This is delicious!!

Food: I want a drink

Arcana: I hope this isn’t unreasonable

Food: This is delicious!!

Food: I want a drink

Arcana: I hope this isn’t unreasonable

Food: I still want a drink

Arcana: That’s a good idea…

Arcana: I hope this isn’t unreasonable

Dante: Oh? That’s the menu for this place…

Felicita: Yeah

>How about a collection of recommended dishes?

(+10 Amore)

>Let’s make a “menu to enjoy Regalo”!

(+10 Amore)

Teodoro: A collection of recommended dishes…?

Sabine: What do you mean?

Dante: …I see, the point is that it’s a “collection”

Federica: A menu to enjoy…?

Sabine: What do you mean?

Dante: …I see, so we introduce Regalo like a ristorante’s menu…

❤≪Dante≫ Seems excited ❤≪Dante≫ Seems excited

Arcana: I see! That’s some good insight!

Food: I still want a drink

Food: I still want a drink

Arcana: I see! That’s some good insight!

Dante: So for Sabine’s ristorante it would be the pesce scorfano acqua pazza…

Teodoro: So we introduce each recommended shop’s recommended dish…?

Sabine: Oh! So we make a guide of all the highlights of Regalo, right!?

Sabine: That would be great!

Sabine: So it would be like a treasure hunt and they’d go around Regalo with that…

Federica: *laugh*, sounds exciting, doesn’t it? I’m sure young people would enjoy it too

Federica: You can let me handle the design of it

Federica: I know a young designer who’s good at drawing and I want them to have experience designing something besides clothes too

Teodoro: It was the right decision to have Ojou-san come today! Thank you, Dante-san, Ojou-san!

Dante: Gahaha! Well this didn’t go the way I was expecting but

❤≪Dante≫ Seems thrilled

Food: I still want a drink

Arcana: Salute!!!

Dante: …You just keep surprising me

~*Scene: Back Alley*~

Dante: Hahaha!

❤≪Dante≫ Seems happy

Person: She’s grown splendidly as an executive

Person: Ojou-san has plenty of ideas

Arcana: The future of the Family is secure

Dante: Well, I never thought this would happen! So we’ll launch the tourism magazine, “Guida Regalo”!

Dante: I really am glad you came today

Dante: Ever since you became Executive of the Swords and started working with Intelligence…

Dante: I’ve learned a lot from you, Ojou-san

Felicita: ?

Dante: Just like Braun has passed his seat on to Daisy-san…

Dante: I should also make preparations so that the next generation can lead Arcana Famiglia

Felicita: ?

Dante: I’m counting on you when the time comes

❤≪Dante≫ Seems as usual

Arcana: The future of the Family is secure

Pain: ???

Dante: Successor of “The Lovers” and Executive of the Swords…

Dante: Felicita

~*Scene: Back Alley*~

Claude: Oh. So that’s the only daughter of Mondo, Arcana Famiglia’s leader…

Claude: But, what is Dante planning?

Claude: I guess I’ll do some investigating…
