[paper-starz]

Soooooo guess who redid their entire profile in celebration of the new updated website????? AND FOR 500 FOLLOWERS??????

MEEEEEEE

Introducing the new and improveddddd

*drumroll*

PAPERSTARZ!!!!

Here’s the day version!

And heres the nightime version!

Now I know this change is sudden... Why the new sona? Why the new name??? WHY THE NEW BANNER??? THE ICON???

Don't worry! I'm still the same old paperbag!

Speaking of the name, I never really liked the name "Anonymous-Paperbag".... It felt too long and didn't really feel like me. Not to mention that my sona (at the time) was a bit bland (I didn't even color it!) Tbh the only reason that I named myself "Anonymous Paperbag" was so that I can remain "anonymous", plus I put myself in a paperbag too so double the anonymity (what a silly word! "Anonymity". Try to say that five times fast.)

At the time, I was TERRIFIED of being online. I've had some not-so-great experiences online before, with some people stealing my ocs and people just overall being creepy :(

Thankfully, I had a very great person IRL who kinda gently nudged me into sharing my art online again! Thank you @adeadcreator for believing in me!! You're the absolute greatest!!!

I also wanna thank @pixiepixells and @catlover4536, two of my first followers! (i honestly got so surprised having followers for the first time! Wowie! People who like my art???) You two have been just terrific first fans who gave me the motivation to push my art!

And ofc, I wanna thank @dottyorange, who has been a terrific friend since the very beginning! And to @hazile who has been so kind and so enthusiastic! Seriously, I am proud of you both!

And how can I forget the 500 of you folks???? SERIOUSLY??? 500???? thats a lot of people. I would LOVE to thank you all individually but I'll be writing all day lmao. BUT I WILL SAY THIS. Thank you for pushing my art to the fullest! While I am still learning, I don't think I ever would've done digital art if it weren't for you online folks.

Now, here's to another Welcome Home update and to many more fanworks! 🥂

Even though I like the idea of Kirby talking I really adore how Kirby is a silent protagonist bc like ?? I think Kirby not feeling the need to ask or say anything shows how much he trusts and wants to help magolor immediately instead of going “ermmm why can’t you do it yourself” or “ur story is a bit shady” and other stuff and,,,,,,sniff,,,,,,,,,,,thinking abt their relationship is making me sad,,,,;;,,;;,,,((;☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️euueueeuewqahhhhhh☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️and magolor giving one final mission request for Kirby in the true arena,,,,,.,,☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️WAHHHHHHH the Kirby magolor bff brainrot is Real

YEAHHH tbh i love kirby both ways, both him talking and being silent fit him very well (imo at least??!!) so by extension i just like to imagine he talks occasionally but other times he just doesnt really feel like it so he won't say much or anything

i think kirby would be way too nice for that though fhgdkfg he's a very unassuming character and just wants the best for everyone and to help no matter what; i personally think even if magolor seemed really obviously suspicious, like when he yells at you, kirby might say something like "are you feeling okay you seem a bit off :( " i think the novel does an exceptionally good job at portraying this !!! bc they make kirby naive and very good-hearted but also notably picking up on important things

magolor and kirby being best friends post rtdl is actually my life blood i would pump out 346384967 drawings of them in a row if i had the power to do so

I kept telling myself I was gonna come back to my Selene liveblog of BG3, and then I kept not doing that. But I've had this entire week off work, and I'm feeling relaxed, so let's see if I can finish out what I've played of the game with her thus far :)

When at last they find their way out of the crypt within the ruin, Shadowheart stops, crosses her arms, and demands, "Selene, wait."

Selene - more interested in a campsite than an argument - turns, winces as her wounds pull in unpleasant ways, and grinds out, "What?"

Shadowheart scowls. "Don't take that tone with me like everything you're feeling isn't your own fault. Ever since I've met you, you've picked one fight after another. Bad enough on the Nautloid when we had that gith helping us. But here, since the beach, it's just been us."

Selene matches her scowl. "So I should let bandits get themselves killed - or worse, converted? I should let them desecrate a site devoted to one of the gods - even one with few followers left among the living?"

"That's not-" Shadowheart begins, but Selene is in pain and out of patience.

"If you intend to question my every action, perhaps you'd rather find another to ally yourself with?" she snaps.

"Yes!" Shadowheart answers. "Yes, that's it exactly. We cannot keep bludgeoning our way headlong through everything the region has to throw at us. You feel it, don't you?"

Selene's shoulders drop, and she murmurs a quiet, "... yes."

"If not allies, then at least let's try to find someone who- what?" Shadowheart pauses in the middle of her rant at the realization that Selene has agreed with her.

"Yes," Selene says again. Because Shadowheart is right. Mere days ago, nothing she's faced thus far would have given her pause. But now, they're both battered beyond anything Selene has experienced in a long time. Or at least, no threat this modest has had her feeling this run over in... longer than she can entirely remember. "You're right. It's time for a change. Seeking allies, avoiding conflict."

"Well..." Shadowheart hesitates a moment longer, and in that moment, Selene stumbles away in the direction of their campsite. With a quiet, "Good," Shadowheart follows.

~~~

They spend the rest of the day recovering at their campsite,

and as the sun sets, Shadowheart helps Selene back to her feet so they can finish preparing for the night's rest. As they work, Shadowheart, pauses long enough to ask,

"How do you feel?"

It takes Selene a moment to consider this question, first within the context of the day - a bit run over - and then within the context Shadowheart really means to discuss: we're infected by Illithid tadpoles.

"Fine," she answers slowly. "Much better than I thought I would, given the circumstances."

"Yes, me as well," Shadowheart agrees. "Besides the occasional mental exchange, it's almost as if we're not infected. I feel... good. Its so strange..." With an urgency, almost an eagerness, she continues: "Do you remember the voice? Aboard the ship?"

Selene contemplates the question for a moment. In a way, it feels almost like too much has happened since the Nautloid, but: "It's been hard to forget."

"The voice said I'd become a 'beautiful weapon.' What do you think that means?"

It's an odd turn of phrase, Selene has to agree, but one to which she can somewhat relate. "Sounds like it had plans for us," she answers dryly. Wouldn't be the first time, she muses to herself.

"Whatever they were, those plans were interrupted by the dragons," Shadowheart says. "Either way, we can't take the lack of symptoms for granted. We have to find a healer. Well, I've said my piece. Get some rest."

It's the second night in a row that Shadowheart has brought up the need for a healer, almost as if she believes Selene has forgotten, or does not share her urgency. She does... but she also can't deny that her behavior to this point has left something to be desired. She's still getting used to needing to rely on others again. When the morning comes, she'll slow down a bit... maybe listen to Shadowheart's misgivings.

And with any luck, perhaps they'll find allies. It's a good plan, if they can manage. And with that, Selene drifts off to sleep.

so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.

and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.

and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

Happy 1 year anniversary to Mr Sherlock Holmes! Here's a litttleee celebratory comic from me

[zondearts]

another practice painting based on a wip I'm procrastinating on

[themilanobitch]

the fact that puss didn’t realize that death was, you know, death until the fourth time he saw him when death had to literally spell it out for him. like my mans really thought it was just some weirdo bounty hunter obsessed with death motifs and metaphors and whanot who somehow managed to drive him into a blind panic with his mere presence. orange cat behaviour.

Laois from Dungeon Meshi legit feels like someone said the generic blond main character guy in a fantasy story can never actually be an interesting character in his own right and Ryoko Kui went, “Oh, bet?”

[aardvaark]

the long way down job is such an important turning point in eliot & parker’s relationship bc they’d both been viewing the things they have in common as fairly negative: they’ve both been told that they’re cold and ruthless and dangerous and they know those things are true. so when they’ve recognised themselves in each other, it’s been a sense of "the thing that’s wrong with me is a lot like the thing that’s wrong with you". and there’s comfort in that, in a way. but now eliot gets parker to see that maybe those aren’t all negative traits, they’re just… traits. neutral. it doesn’t make them bad or good, it makes them who they are. and now when they see themselves reflected in each other, it’s not a reminder that they’re wrong and bad - it’s kinship, it’s familiarity, it’s belonging.

The promise you kept.

Extra panel: (liked this version too.)

moving on to sakumo.

Panel 1: Handprint (an older drawing to share)

Panel 2: Punishment.

what if they went for kakashi to hurt sakumo instead.

decided to dump the rest of the drawings together, but the tone shift whiplash is real (I shall do it again)

Comic 2: Bias? Not at all.

extra:

He’s just in a silly mood (he feels no remorse)

Comic 3: Did you say something?

fun idea, kakashi actually picked up his behavior from his father (sakumo version is staring people down, while kakashi is verbal)
