#neat concept!

[cj-the-random-artist]

I kept debating how to end this short little mini comic. In the original script, they were gonna hold hands (scandalous, I know lmfao), but I didn't think it hit quite right in comic format when I tried to make it longer. Hence why it ends... like that.

Anyways I wrote like a ton of comic scripts for COTL comics that just didn't hit right / I couldn't commit to making and then when driving home from work last week in the pitch darkness I thought about how nice it is to see like actual stars. And I feel like with the cult grounds being kind of among a lot of trees and all that it might take a short hike to get a really, really, really good view of the night sky and stuff. Thus. This.

It's arguably not my best work (I'm out of practice drawing good night skies and all that) but I'm happy with it. Enjoy this thing I made

My brain literally would not let me rest until I got this out of my system, so here we are.

Okay, so - Future Donnie's canon design sure is a thing. I actually love the concept, mechanic aesthetic is great for Don, but I'm not crazy about the all-black waders/overalls they're just...they're a choice. Definitely a choice. So I figured it was time to update those old Future Donnie designs I made awhile back (which, surprisingly, weren't too far-off? I got the pants pockets right at least, lol)

Here are some of my own takes on the new look. I challenged myself to try and stay as close to the canon design's over-all (haha) vibe as I could, so they don't differ too drastically. Just a few alternative ways to do basically the same concept. For funsies.

***Zero disrespect intended towards Andy, for the record. He's giving us the content we've all been craving and he's the realest one for that! (Also, the overalls aren't that bad, tbh? I think it's just the all-black inking that makes them look kinda off in the preview image.) Still super excited for the full comic to finally be released AAAAAAAA!!

cult of the lamb has some really cool visuals and the accent color is my fave so i really wanted to do some post-game designs and doodles to get out of an art slump

Ghost whose dad was a werewolf, and loved tormenting him in his wolf form. Roba was also a werewolf, and nothing let Ghost rest, not even full moons.

Soap, who's a werewolf. One who burns with such a bright flame that Ghost feels like a moth. Soap, who has never hurt those he knows in his wolf form, not even at his most feral.

Soap, who starts helping Ghost heal, by letting him set boundaries when Soap is shifted.

Soap, who wants to undo the damage that the other werewolves did to his wonderful mate.

Jiuyuan (and maybe jiubingyuan) au where it's been a couple years since PIDW finished and it's getting adapted into a drama (highly altered, prob highly condensed and restructured lol) and Shen Yuan has been forced out of his NEET life and became a professional voice actor. It's often remote and he's talented at projecting all sorts of emotions so it's basically a breeze.

Eventually he becomes the go to VA for rising star Shen Jiu, no relation, and they have a cute meet cute rivalry, but slowly SJ gets attached and SY becomes the unknowing third of the qijiu relationship.

Then Shen Jiu gets cast in the upcoming PIDW adaptation as the scum villain.

Shen Yuan is desperate to get on that set, hearing Airplane will be there to offer consultation for the series. He needs to see his face as he critiques him. Insert more shenanigans here.

underrated part of mementos mission is ren being so effortlessly pretty that the casting director at ann’s photoshoot thinks he’s one of the models

i know he demurs in response but i do still like it as an unconventional postcanon career for him because first of all his face card never declines

but also it is deeply fun to think of akechi with a password protected folder on his phone with all of ren’s horniest photoshoots

[z0mbiew00d]

Okay okay okay hear me out

You know how in episode one of Wild Life everyone was growing and shrinking? What if when shrinking they shifted into their full versions of their hybrid?

So like the sun one club base just has a little parrot, a bat and a biblically accurate angel inside it.

Rens a little puppy running around, Martyn’s walking around as a phantom, using his claws to pull himself about. Gems a baby deer and Joel’s a little ogre.

BigBs a little mouse hiding in the trees of the pale forest, Jimmys a canary hopping about, Scars a little vex floating slightly above ground, Lizzie’s a mini fairy walking around.

Cleo’s a baby zombie, Scotts a unicorn foal, Impulse is a little imp, Pearls a wolf cub, Ethos a fox cub, Tangos a tiny blaze, Bdubs is a glare.

It’d be so cute ☹️🫶

Honestly man it just makes sense why Lucy and Gray are so comfortable with each other.

Within just barely knowing this guy for a few episodes into the series she sees him at his absolute worst, on Galuna. And then directly from that, Gray sees Lucy at her worst during Phantom Lord.

Like the earliest stages of their interactions had them seeing each other at one of their most emotionally vulnerable and lowest points. Of course moving forward from that they're gonna be completely chill with each other and comfy in each other's presence, cause they've already unintentionally laid themselves bare to the other.

Just imagine Steve figuring out he's bisexual and realizing that when he dates a girl, at a certain point into dating them, he's gonna have to tell them that he's also into men. Of course since it's the 80s, the chances of them being okay with that is probably slim. They might think he's disgusting or that he's just gay playing straight.

So he tries dating guys instead, thinking that's safer. And he ends up meeting a great guy named John at a gay bar who he really likes. Things are going strong until they started talking about past crushes and first loves. Steve casually mentions celebrity crushes on women and having loved Nancy. And thus Steve gets his first ever experience of the rampant biphobia in queer spaces. John accuses Steve of being confused and trying to hold onto his "straightness". Steve tries to explain himself by saying that, no, he really does like women, but that only makes things worse. John now believes that Steve is just going to eventually leave him for a woman, if he hasn't already been cheating on him. John ends up storming out leaving Steve devastated.

He goes crying to Robin and explains what happened. He's horrified to realize that no matter who he dates, there's always going to be the risk of them not accepting him, guy or girl. But he can't hide that part of himself, it's too big. It's who he is. Robin is there to reassure him that if someone can't accept him being bi than they don't deserve him. It's able to cheer him up a little, but the damage has been done.

Steve is now very reluctant to date anyone. And if he does manage to bring himself to go on one, he gets complaints of being very emotionally distant or having a fear of commitment.

When Steve inevitably falls for Eddie, he's scared out of his mind. It's clear that Eddie is gay based on his hanky, but, again, that doesn't mean he'll accept Steve's bisexuality. One night, while the two get so high in Eddie's trailer that Steve has to stay over, they argue about sleeping arrangements. Eddie keeps insisting that Steve would probably be more comfortable with Eddie sleeping in another room for some cryptic reason and Steve, who gets incredibly clingy while high, keeps shooting back with them sharing a bed being fine. When Steve keeps asking why they can't over and over again, Eddie blurts out that it's because he's gay. Without hesitation, Steve's says he knows and points at the hanky on the dresser by the bed. Staring at Steve for a moment, Eddie then asks how he knows about the hanky code. This time Steve hesitates. For awhile. It honestly scares Eddie for a moment, thinking he's been vecnad. If Steve hadn't been high, he maybe would have been able to think of an excuse, some way to get out of this conversation, but he can't. So he admits that he likes guys.

Eddie very excitedly starts asking a bunch of questions and talking about how they finally found something they have in common, who knew? When he notices the tears in Steve's eyes, he stops, confused, and asks what's wrong. So Steve tells him. He's not like Eddie. He's bisexual. And he braces himself for the backlash. For loosing his best friend and crush.

But then he feels a hand grab his. Eddie tells him that they still have something in common because he's also bi. Steve points out that he said he was gay, though. Eddie asks if he has ever told anyone that he was bi before, specifically gay men. Steve nods. Then he asks if it went well. Steve shakes his head. Eddie tells him that's why he said that. He's explains how tiring it is to have to explain his existence to people who won't get it and/or react badly to it. So he just tells guys that he's also gay. It just makes things easier. And Steve gets it. By God, does he get it. They spend the whole night exchanging stories and experiences, for the first time able to talk freely about their love life.

And by the end of the night, they stumble over each other trying to ask the other out. They laugh and both say yes.

It was no lie... 3 billion alternians dead. And who's to blame? (first set here)

[dykealloy]

the catholic rejection of it all

[haze-of-hyperfixations]

a concept. to consider. what if. what if there was a Remember Them reprise after the Thunder Saga. "We are not to let them die in vain" except he's the only one left so it's "I am not to let them die in vain." and there's no backing chorus of his men. because. they're all dead.

and the line takes on a whole new meaning now that he's the one who chose to let them die.

(not in vain. it can't have been in vain, it can't have been for nothing. i have to see her. i have to see her, because if i don't make it home, those men died for nothing. the ends always justify the means. i can justify anything as long as it ends with Penelope and Telemachus both in my arms again. but if it doesn't-

but it will. it will. it has to.)

and our- ... -and my comrades will not die in vain...
