#new rat ramblings

[korattata]

i'm really really glad that i had done rat intros previously so the girls are like.... basically getting along completely already

[mollysunder]

Sinco as a ship are such boring middle aged men together, and I think that's beautiful. When they're together all their ruthlessness and banal violence almost cancels out, almost. Silco and Singed aren't after the same goal, but they're both just on the same wavelength that there's no real argument or manipulation, it's just two men in agreement to spend over a decade of their lives working together.

Almost nothing seems like an argument between them, they're just on the same page. Silco and Singed are completely independent of eachother and it makes their relationship all the more intentional. They're both set in their ways in what they want and who they have to be to get it, but the two have carved a space for each other in their lives.

Singed is so sparing with his empathy, but is willing to extend it to Silco, while Silco is willing to trust Singed with Jinx. Except in the case of their children, there's not much further these men go in forms vulnerability for anyone else but eachother.

I adore MTMTE.

This comic has genuinely affected me in such a deft, meaningful way.

I don’t know who I would be without it.

I read it first when I was 15. I am now 22 and not a day has passed where I haven’t thought about it, been reminded of it or applied what I’d learnt from it in some way.

MTMTE gave me insight into politics I didn’t previously care about. It made me care about people I didn’t care about. It made me think things through better. It taught me, a traumatised autistic girl the power of empathy.

MTMTE told me everyone is flawed. It told me that moments are so precious and the good ones so fleeting that to not cherish them is a sin.

MTMTE gave me a better music taste. It has eased my depression more than once.

I can’t put into words how odd it was for a little girl to see herself in big grey robot ex-warlord.

To think that if there was hope for him, that despite all his magnitudes of sin people could still love him, both the cast and the fans alike - maybe there was people that could love her.

Dramatic I know, but you can’t grasp the mind of a teen girl unless you’ve been there.

It is 5am. I have just finished issue 55 and I am distraught.

This comic, these characters and their relationships changed me in way that I think with affect the rest of my life.

hi im trying to keep it professional here but may i request you to talk about your thought process/design inspirations behind your Tango? I don't think I've ever loved a Tango more than i love yours

i'm so glad you like him so much!!! he's definitely one of my favourites to draw :D

most of my mcyt designs follow a similar pipeline, where i create a first design that is simple; based on the skin, my impression, and common fanon ideas. then later down the line i throw all of that out the window and shoot them with my patented Creature Gun.

so originally, tango was just A Guy. (see this post for an idea of how he looked) until i woke up one day and decided that he needed to become an absolute fucking critter.

i went into my very first draft of a new design with a few basic ideas that i wanted to follow:

Generally small, but have his clothing/accessories be big

Have the red glasses be a major design element

Be some form of lil critter with a tail, paws, and big ears

Be as shape as possible (this was the most important aspect to me)

Here was my very first pass with those concepts in mind:

More under the cut:

the first thing i realised was that i accidentally inverted the red and black on his outfit, the second thing was that he had come out looking somewhat rodent-like, so i decided to build upon that idea in my second draft, as well as further exaggerating his glasses and proportions:

i liked this much better, but decided he still wasn't shape enough, so after even more stylization, i eventually got to a point where i was happy, and we ended up with the critter of all time!

along the way, i also ended up with a rough idea for what he even was, that being a hybrid of my own made up rodent-adjacent mob that would live in the nether. which i ended up sharing an idea for in this post, thought i'll probably expand further upon the idea in the future.

overall i am insanely happy with how his design turned out, and i'm overjoyed that other people feel the same!

please never hesitate to ask me about my designs/my design process! i have so many thoughts that i'd love to share and a lot of the more fully fleshed out designs have a good amount of concept art that likely won't be seen outside of these sorts of asks.

Plan

Me and the rats will pipebomb the police if our pookie gets caught!!!

1. I fucking release rats, cockroaches, etc into the police building when they are not looking.

(Me with the rats)

2. They call me, the cheapest finest exterminator in all of New York City!

3. I get in

4. I do my job

5. I put the pipe bomb somewhere

(Pipe bomb for reference)

6. I send them the bill

7. I escape to Switzerland (I know some Swiss)

8. I get deported by the Swiss equivalent of ICE

@aevallare tagged me for this. Kissing you so much.

words posted: 10,164 (I cry because I wanted there to be more)

additional words written: 29,849 (almost half of this comes from snippets and scenes I wrote in my phone notes app)

grand total of words: 40,013

fandoms: BG3 (because I have blinders on)

highest kudos: i'll peel my heart like a pomegranate if you promise it won't go to waste - 130 kudos

highest hit oneshot: see above - 1,725 hits

new things I tried: I posted smut for the first time! I also started participating in group events, like server exchanges and bangs!

fic I spent the most time on: say yes, but only if you want to (because I started the second chapter, ripped it to shreds, started over and wrote more, ripped that to shreds, and now I'm about 4k words deep into the third attempt and I think when I finally go back to it I'm going to end up ripping it to shreds again)

fic I spent the least time on: what's one more mystery after all the rest? (a gift fic I wrote for @kittenintheden as part of @thekindredcollective's Fall in Faerûn prompt event)

favorite thing I wrote: say yes, but only if you want to (and I'm really surprised I'm saying that)

favorite thing(s) I read: Don't make me choose. I read so much, from so many wonderful authors. Here are my Ao3 recs. I reread many of them often.

writing goals for 2025:

write something every day (specifically something that makes me happy)

learn to write without stopping to edit along the way (because I am so bad at that right now and stopping slows me down so much)

new works:

i'll peel my heart like a pomegranate if you promise it won't go to waste

say yes, but only if you want to

what's one more mystery after all the rest?

This ain't much. But it's a start. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms when I got here. This was a creative outlet I thought I'd lost for good. I'm so glad I was wrong.

Tagging @kittenintheden, @gilded-glitter, @deadly-diminuendo, @honeybee-bard, and @pinkberrytea if you'd like to share!

[vampyre-rat]

um yeah so. heart goes out to americans rn i cant believe that dumb fucking dogcunt got re-elected seriously i hope y'all make it through this whole ...

[korattata]

It's stupid

[fbwzoo]

Remind me if i get to remodel my animal room someday, the bitch is getting done completely in waterproof tile, possibly a drain in the floor, a sink, and a bunch of closed storage cabinets for supplies. If I'm allowed to get real fancy, it's own thermostat & humidistat with equipment to maintain environment.

Further info:

- I can draw any species as long as the design itself isn’t super complicated

- that being said, I am willing to simplify complicated designs for commissions

- I will not draw nsfw or kink related stuff at this time

- nudity is fine tho just know I'm not super experienced with it

- payment can be done through whatever you’re most comfortable with as long as it’s available to me, feel free to ask if certain payment methods will work for me!

- I am willing to draw gore and body horror, but do know I’m not super experienced in either

- I prefer to be messaged here on tumblr, but I technically can be messaged on other socials, just know I don’t check on most of them much

- I reserve the right to deny any commissions that make me uncomfortable

This might just be my sixth Jax I ever made but I shall hold onto him in a special containment unit in my mind because oh no he's haaawt

there's something about finally seeing roger and his crew in the past that really wounds me
