#okay thats my yapping. YIPPEE!

[cconfusedkat]

Part 5 of re-doing my designs.... Heket.... hyeket,,, heket :--) 🐸🐸 i may have procrastinated for six days but so be it i had a bit fun trying to complete this one today (cw for neglect and family death if reading)

I couldnt actually decide on a favorite weapon for her tbh. I just think she'd use gauntlets or a warhammer for fun but overall she would toss them aside and go like yep this one's on ME

And headcanons :-D unrelated sorta but i kinda just wanted to make two different outfits for her..... casual wear with just the 'belt' and compression makes sense because. Like. She does in fact get her hands dirty on a daily basis. And for cult wear i thought itd be nice to give her the crosses on her head back along with a cloak and dress :--) shes probably the only other sibling to take off the crosses from her head other than narinder 😭

And a blank to get a better look at her!! She does have black compression gloves on, as well as under her bandages-- she puts an extra layering of bandages just to cease the external bleeding,,, i think heket is silly and i love her

[fictionfixations]

playful land (part 2)

contains spoiler for the movie pinocchio so and like book 7 spoilers (its literally just 2 words relating to lilia and its a card that exists)

😭 as a glasses wearer i can relate. when i didnt have my glasses id squint a lot but the people around me just thought i had my eyes closed so they thought i wasnt paying attention D:

its even crazier to think that lilia, a war veteran and everything was legitimately stressed over this 💀 but to be fair if grim was in danger of getting out of like the seats that lilia had to hold him back id be panicking too cause who knows what could happen

heres your reminder that vil was kinda baby (well child but thats still baby to me) when being in the industry and considered good at playing the villain even though children (and teenagers) are literally known for changing, are in the prime time of their life to change and experiment and try different things theyve never done before and so typecast him is literally to stunt his growth and potential !!! and remember there were those kids who thought vil was an actual villain and like tried to attack him or some shit so he did play villains when he was younger. and it probably really hit him hard because kids dont (and shouldnt) be hit with the reality that not everyone is nice and that people can be out to get you for no reason other than 'you exist' and will run with any reason they can to hate on you even if its entirely fake and they dont even know you but they just think youre a bad person despite the truth and theres nothing you can do to change that because they dont want to be wrong. if you cant tell i have a lot of things against it. like. like child prodigies n celebrities are great good for you for being good at something and being recognized for it, but ohh my god its like suddenly they're an adult and cant make mistakes without people condemning them even though literally everyone has made mistakes before and children dont know any better until they do it and mess up and thats okay and i just. i just want vil to be ok cause hes still really young.

the text being like pLAcehOldeR TExT PLaCeHoLDer TeXt is so fucking creepy for the puppets 😭 why cant it just be normal like when like AIs or like the systems of shit talk (like like the navi system that was normal?? and i thought the voices for the rollercoaster was normal too but i mightve just not noticed considering im playing it right as the update came out and i havent slept yet so yippee)

JIMINY CRICKET IS THAT YOU 💀

the way i missed all these references the first time but now im actually getting them cause i saw the movie

heres where i say i already forgot like a part of the middle of the movie and what happened and why. i was watching it with friends so i got distracted trying to talk to them and im really bad at multitasking when trying to watch something (like reallly pay attention) and talk to someone at the same time so i forget one or the other and i forgot the movie so i dont remember what the apple core was about but i doubt it was good intentioned

i know that leona's older than them but i still like that he calls them kids like d'aww

flashbacks to kalim mentioning he didnt know how to pay for things or how cash registers worked and stuff like that cause usually merchants came to him also him mentioning he got like lint rollers for the carpet but he just kept buying new ones when he ran out instead of buying a new roll, and when being informed that he could buy a new roll instead of an entirely new roller he just called whoever thought of that a genius 😭 his obliviousness is genuinely harmful to him no matter how good intentioned someone may be to try to spoil him and make him live the most comfortable life ever because theres so much life experiences hes lacking. and theres so much i could say about this but ive yapped enough about this in other posts and ive also already yapped about vil so um

HES LICKING THEM BECAUSE OF THE OVERBLOT STONES ISNT HE? ???? ????? GRim PLEASE

…hes got a tail because he went to pleasure island and was slowly turning into a donkey like i mean i guess i can understand because in twst the stories were twisted so both the hero and the villain got a happy ending technically? like remember i think jasmine married like 'a street rat' or something (I cant remember exactly? maybe he was like a thief but changed his ways?), while jafar caught someone who was pretending to be a prince to marry her (described as two different people btw)

THIS. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. he is so unaware that hes going to make dumb and insensitive comments that could definitely offend someone but he doesnt understand what the problem with it is this boy is like the heir right?? someone please teach him politics and like diplomacy shit ???? like ok you want him to have the best life. his best life is not making mistakes in front of important people that can fuck things up without him realizing and ruining relationships because HE DOESNT KNOW BETTER. like theres only so long you can baby someone and i know hes baby and still young but stop coddling him. like i mean i want to coddle him i want to wrap him in bubble wrap but like come on. and i know hes smart, he knows people arent the best because people have tried to poison him and tried to kill him (even some of his family have tried) but come on. like what if he comes off as insincere? as a person who couldnt possibly understand? HE ALREADY DOES COME OFF AS THAT HAVE YOU SEEN JAMIL?? and you know what thats gonna breed? RESENTMENT. aAAAAAAa AND PEOPLE ARE GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIM BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SEE THE GOOD IN EVERYONE EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO DO BAD SHIT TO HIM AND ITS JUST. i dont want him to be hurt and hes gonna get hurt and he already has been hurt and hes still managing and i feel so bad for him and i just. ..you can tell i have a lot of feelings over thsi fhaidwsuiahfd

d'aww hes hugging him 🥺

yknow kalim probably has the funds to get like a water breathing potion and explore underwater like i mean tbh it kinda scares me. wasnt there that story during like one of the halloween events one of the leech twins mentioning how they saw like one of them?? except it wasnt them. and that like people went missing or some shit??? the coral sea (..that might not be the name i forgor) has its own dangers i hope he stays safe during so

wouldnt it be the coolest for a hometown event with the leech twins and azul and kalim is there actually i wonder what kinda outfits they'd wear. also in caters birthday bloom vignette floyd mentioned that he could take cater to the coral sea and show him places land people dont really get to see (then warns him to watch out for shark attacks) to which cater replies that he'll pass. …still i think itd be really cool for him to go too. maybe we could make it a pop music club trip! has lilia been to the coral sea? i cant remember 🤔 i dont think caters phone is waterproof though (hes also mentioned it in that vignette) and hes mentioned it in this event where he was scared his phone would get waterlogged during the whale rollercoaster cause they were getting drenched in water and he didnt get time to prepare

leona. you get me.

kalim just automatically being worried about poison makes me feel really bad for him cause he always has to be cautious like i know he doesnt say it but its implied and it makes me sad

FIGARO MY BELOVED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU PRECIOUS BABY AHFDASUDIHAIUDHW i love cats so much the moment he showed up on screen i just couldnt pay attention to anything that was happening in the movie and i just love the way he was animated he looked so fluffy and cute and i just wanted to pet him so fucking much aGHHHH

leona: I REFUSE to ride the carousel no matter what right after leona: on the carousel

so confirmed kalim does have a magicam acc huh

[imraespace]

‼️ before reading this i just wanna let you know i yapped so hard during this and i never realized how long this was until i started rereading im so sorry. i hope everything i said makes sense </3 ‼️

ohymogsh thank you for suggesting sae w mala by 6ix9ine bc you just gave me the most brilliant idea ever omg

ALSO OMG U ALSO EDIT/EDITED OMG YAYAYAY i wanna learn how to do like yk those complex transitions w them cubes and all that bc they look so cool but im so scared ill mess them up and its gonna look so bummy 💔

I ANIMATE/TWEEN AS WELL but i use the term animate more bc the term tweening reminds me of gacha life tweening tutorial and my gacha phase was something thats for sure..!

im lowkey considering to like stop editing and start writing stories or create smaus because it takes so long to animate and i cant really do anything else except a simple zoom in/out ☹️

ive been trying to tween this one kaiser fanart and i never realized how bad kaisers hair was until i was erasing each layer of hair for 12 hours AND IM STILL SOMEHOW NOT DONE?? I STARTED THIS ABOUT A MONTH AGO TOO. i have beef w ness now cuz he couldve just gave this guy a bob cut and my life would have been so much easier >:(

i apologize that i never stop talking bc once i start talking about something im interested in i just somehow never stop BUT IM GLAD WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON OTHER THAN OUR LOVE OF BLUELOCK !!

- 🐙

LMAO ITS OKAY once i start yapping i cant stop as well

ALSO YIPPEE IM GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!

ABT THE COMPLEX TRANSITIONS I REALLY WANNA LEARN THOSE AS WELL i went looking at my old edits and realized i didnt even have a certain style it was all over the place LMAO i mostly edit during my genshin phase and i swear one day it was a cute yoimiya edit then next it was a depressing albedo edit that looks wayy different..

i say you should do what you want to rn like i had fun editing for while until i got bored then randomly i made a book on wattpad and it was fun to do so now im here writing for fun! ive gotten the feeling to edit a few times before but i realized how TIME CONSUMING IT IS LIKE WITH WHAT YOU SAID WITH KAISER IT TOOK ME A WHOLE MONTH TO MAKE A WHOLE EDIT WITH JUST TWEENING.

and DONT GET ME STARTED ON WHEN YOU FINISHED CROPPING THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS AND PLACE IT IN THE EDITING APP you realized you missed something out or theres a noticeable spot you forgot to hide(esp for the hair) it makes me wanna just delete everything

i think ness was feeling a bit goofy when he did kaiser haircut bc his rat tails in the back of his head is kinda funny.. i wouldve just made kaiser bald and do the edit just like that for funsies

ALSO SAMEE i cant stop talking if its something im interested in AND YIPEPE WE GOT TWO(hehehe three if you count our non stop blabbering) IN COMMON

whatever you choose to do with the editing or writing just have fun with it and you can always go back to the other one if you want!

WAIT I FORGOT TO SAY THIS HELP I HAD A GACHA PHASE AS WELL I HAD A YT CHANNEL AND SADLY I DELETED EVERYTHING BC I WANTED TO WATCH MY CRINGE VIDEOS BUT ITS ALL GONE. but ya!

[cosmical-flowers]

(@chiamew) LETS YAP ABOUT MY ENSTARS X BLUE LOCK AU BECAUSE WHY NOT YIPPEE!!! (Spoilers for Blue Lock up to ch 40)

okay this au is all over the place but I do have some character placements.

To start with Team Z, I have a feeling Aira would be Isagi for some reason, just vibes. I could honestly see Aira with very good spatial awareness. (You also have both of them being very hard working and motivated towards their goal).

Ibara would be Kuon 100%. I know he would sell out information for his team to boost himself if given the chance.

Hiiro would be Bachira because they are both very silly. Him also having a lot of belief in Aira as well would also be part of it.

Tatsumi would be Chigiri because of his injury. (To yap about the manga a bit, the part in book 3 where Chigiri basically stopped being afraid of tearing his ACL again and basically “unlocked” his leg WAS SO COOL THE FIRST TIME I READ IT AHHHH)

Chiaki would be Kunigami because their belief of being a hero (But it would be slightly different in the AU I guess)

Leo would be Naruhaya because of his playful personality and caring about others. Im thinking Madara would be Gagamaru in this au as well because of that.

Stepping away from Team Z for a bit, Mao would be Reo and Ritsu would be Nagi. I think in this AU they would split apart more though and not be as close as friends.

The Wanima twins would be Hinata and Yuta (obviously), with Hinata being Keisuke and Yuta being Junichi.

The other 2 top scorers for the teams (Niko and Barou) also have a place in the au! Niko would probably be Shinobu because of him controling Team Y from the shadows and how Shinobu is used to being in the shadows. Plus, they both have hair covering their eye/eyes.

I dont have a strong idea on who Baoru would be. (Does Aira have any enemies??? Or like, people who don’t believe in him??? Someone inform me eaughhh)

OKEY THATS IT FOR NOW TEE HEE FEEL FREE TO ASK ME MORE ABOUT IT (has only read the first selection)

Take also a character list I found online :3

[amousewithnocheese]

i also like spiderman (probably not to the extent that you do) and i saw that there were spiderman stickers at five below when i went last time idk if you live where a five below is but if you do then yeah!!! i when it comes to my special interests i throw them on EVERYTHING (my shark stuff for example) but its like my room has so many posters and even i make stuff myself sometimes for my decor and like i really enjoy surrounding myself with my special interests its like ‘hey everyone!! i love this thing and it makes me so happy!!!’ and i think its great

yeah i am so very happy to meet people who are like me because i have struggled with making friends for so long /nav and to finally belong feels so awesome and amazing!!!

i like that idea of using the emojis as names i think thats neat

also yes we do both like cartoons!! i like stuff aimed towards kids (bluey, steven universe, gravity falls) and she likes like, stuff geared to an older audience (family guy, american dad, south park) so yes i think that cartoon reccommendations would be super awesome!!

also it makes me happy also to talk to people through asks so yay :D i will probably go to bed soon tho since its around the time i start to like set up my backpack and all that also random but like youre very good at holding conversations im noticing like you ask lots of questions and it keeps people engaged and i think that is great and cool 👍🏼 its around night time so ill say good night but if its not night for you then have a good rest of ur day!!

-🐶

im gonna say goodnight to you too then! (it’s nighttime here too but im doing homework auughgh) however I’ll edit this response when i have a bit more brainspace!! I hope you sleep so comfy, 🐶

yippee~

edited:

okay im well rested and prepared to answer this😎

yes, i am the ultimate spiderman fan (i have a friend that loves it more than me actually!) and yessss i know five below; i don’t know of one nearby (just recently moved, college, bleh) but ill look for one/when i visit home ill go to one!

i also really love surrounding myself with my special interests!

ive also struggled with making friends before, so i understand how happy you are!!! wahooo!!!

i will continue to do it then😎😎 hehe~

i also liked cartoons aimed towards kids (the owl house, gravity falls, bluey) but ive also watched some older ones as well, i just don’t like them as much🤭but im really into series’ right nowwww

yay!!! im so honored ahdkwbdke i try to be better at holding conversations ‘cause sometimes when i try with people irl its super dry ‘cause i dunno what to say so 🥰🥰a little guide i have to questions is that if all else fails and you’re struggling to think of something to say, ask people about themselves! most of the time they like to yap :3 (but yes i do love hearing about people as well)

[sparkly-s0da]

tbh ive always kinda known i wasn’t gonna date

i grew up w/ the “dont date til ur 18 asian parents” (tysm) so like okay cool. No bf thats GREAT

for some reason thought i was bi because 1. I felt literally the same for everyone and 2.yeah that hand thing yeah i did finger guns yeah i was. Weird for that. (Look idek i want to cry thinking abt it. It was 2020. I was small and dumb. Really dumb—)

anywyas i was really dumb and idk i learned abt the ace spec and i was like cool im going to adopt it now. Then proceeded to yippee my life thru jaiden animations video and oh my god. Oh my god kt all made snese. Holy mother loving truck kun.

im aroace. I like to focus on being aro more because its more mecore. Im specifically somewhere in the middle of aego and cupio so idk.

the concept of romance is nice and id like to be in it like yk have someone who loves and cares romantically but honestly i cant see myself with anyone and i wouldnt reciprocate so 2/10 experience probably

tysm for listening to my yap sesh

Any fellow aromantics wanna share their experience?

(if your on the ace spec you can share yours too :D)

[the-6th-harbringer]

//yapping about this bc my autism is taking over.

first of all, BRO YOU CAPTURED THEIR PERSONALITIES(portrayals on scara's end) SO WELL??? LIKE /GEN. IT FEELS LIKE ME OR CYMOD ACTUALLY WROTE THIS. SO GOOD JOB.

secondly, love that the cane still exists in this au. in other cyscara aus that me and cymod have the cane is questionable. in the superhero/rando civilian au cyrille breaks his leg, in the pirate au cy's a mer, in certain aus he's mainly fine because his sister actually exists, etc etc. but the cane existing HERE is just yippee yippee yippee to me and its YAYYA and i dont even know why.

third. the wordplay at the end. "Would you turn them away so callously?" drops a fucking calla lily

like that was smart. good job. /gen

also i dont know if you actually looked up the meaning of callous lilies or if you were just going for creative wordplay, but its funny cause calla lilies have duo meanings. one being the idea of life (scara opening a shop across the street, bringing new 'life' to the street, maybe in the future the street becoming more popular because of him being like the favorite and all that) but then it also means death. (the potential death of cyrille's sanity because this guy is about to get on his fucking nerves, the lack of peace, the annoyances this guy carries). meaning the 'death' of cyrille's formerly peaceful life, being replaced by this flourishing 'life' of grieveances and pointless competition, snarkiness and bitching, the contrast of the two fitting the situation and their overall vibe in canon really well

i know i probably analyzed this more than intended. but. im insane about them okay

edit: i forgot to add that in like.. greek culture according to google calla's are also used to communicate beauty. so thats nice too SCARA I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE

Florist/Tattooist AU, First Meeting

A florist has opened shop across the street.

How cliche can you get?

Cyrille looks out through the front window at it while flipping the open sign and scoffs. Really, who would be selling flowers in this part of town? Anyone with both the inclination and the financial freedom lives in the upper districts, unless some of Cyrille's own clients are more interested in botany or flower symbolism or something like that than they'd let him know. Which would be a feat, considering how much some of them like to talk while he works...

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he sets to work tidying up and sanitizing surfaces. He's technically open, but his first appointment isn't for a few hours, so he'll spend that time deep cleaning some of the areas in the back...

...or that was the plan, until he heard the bell above the door chime.

Who the hell goes to a tattoo shop at eight in the morning?

Folding the towel he'd been using to wipe down the chairs, Cyrille walks out to the front to step behind the front desk, giving the guy a once-over. Dark hair, dark clothes, sharp eyes, nice face and figure. Clean skin, no ink. Yet, if he's here.

Putting on his customer service smile, Cyrille places the towel to the side and hooks his cane on the bar installed at the edge of the front desk for that express purpose, folding his hands on the desk's surface. "How can I help you this morning?"

The man doesn't respond right away, instead looking around the place with a raised eyebrow for a moment, like he's surprised and amused about what he's seeing. "You know, I didn't expect it to actually be this nice in here."

It's a testament to Cyrille's professionalism that his smile doesn't falter, though his eyes do turn a bit cold. "I am running a business. I'm glad the parlor's interior is up to standard. Now, can I help you with anything?"

Finally turning to Cyrille, the man very obviously gives him a full-body look, whistling between his teeth. "You own this place, or just work here?"

Oh, he is testing Cyrille's patience. "Both. It's just me, myself, and I. Are you here to book an appointment, or just window shop?"

A slow smile spreads on the man's face. "Have some bite, do you? I like it." He crosses his arms on the counter and leans forward. "Let's just say I'm scoping out the area. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other."

"Planning a sleeve?" Cyrille's tone is dry. "Or a full back tattoo? Because I only welcome repeat visitors if they're getting inked."

"What if they come bearing gifts? Would you turn them away so callously?" The stranger dips his hand into his jacket pocket and pulls out a surprisingly intact calla lily and pushes it across the counter, a small tag tied to the stem. Then he salutes and pushes away, walking backwards towards the door. "I'll be seeing you, neighbor."

And with a ring of the bell on the door, he's gone.

Cyrille lets his head fall to the desk with a thump.

Fuck. Is that jackass the florist?
