are there any rvb fics you still think about all the time? like i dont think a week goes by without thinking abt qed and how it def changed me on a molecular level, do you have any fics like that?

oooh good question. the most important fic is at the bottom of this post so just scroll to the final paragraph if you only want one, true recommendation of the only rvb fic that really matters.

QED is fantastic though its more of @shotgunslap's thing than mine. the partner to that is also obviously QoQ, the only rvb fic ive been able to make almost all my friends read. i think about the south/north characterization every day of my life. caboose and carolina mean so much to me, etc etc. thats a pretty easy pick though so im cracking into my ao3 bookmarks to look for more niche picks.

i know there was actually a lot of rvb fic that was just posted to tumblr that i think ive gone back and tried to reblog at some points but i never organized it, i should have archived it, people who wrote good femslash and rvb women liked to just post it under a readmore on their tumblrlog and you have to go digging through decades old tags to find it now

okay. the big one i actually do still think about all the time forever and ever is saltsanford's stuff about epsilon/wash's relationship. this is the big one i still think about that centers on their backstory, but also, put my guns in the ground, which is one of the Big fandom tuckington longfics, also has such good washpilon stuff in it and they're so fucking juicy. when tucker asks wash how many times he's broken his ribs and he says four and epsilon says "actually it was five" before realizing How Bad of a Move that would be. Hello? Hello?????? i want them to be forced to reimplant and have weird mind brain trauma sex SO BAD sorry im normal. this is another one that takes place during/after the chorus era

on the spectrum of fics that i actually dont yet feel ashamed reccomending, primtheamazing, who wrote QoQ, also wrote some other good stuff. i am a HUGE fan of this fusion fic, the punchline to the tucker/caboose fusion is HYSTERICAL. this one where grif forgets who simmons is due to temple shennanigans and flirts with him is also very like. trope-y but i like that shit so this goes here too

ok. now onto the stuff that it is actively embarrassing for me to be recommending. but. prim's logrimmons fic is hysterical and was the stepping stone to creating the lolixgrimmons mind palaces with my friends so its worth it just for that. but also its really fucking funny. so is the one where locus has to listen to them have sex and gets himself caught

the truly embarrassing one for me to have here is the piece of softboy grimmons content i participate in. sadly i do enjoy s15 content sometimes for the softboy grif sensitive emotions exploration i will admit to being a hypocrite there and i really liked that one and reread it frequently (just realized this is written by the QED person so! you might already know of it)

and then finally. the most important red vs blue fanfiction of all time, guns are for shooting. it has it all. sarge. washington. sarge again. kismesisitude. grif and simmons acting like rosencrantz and guildenstern (are dead). locus being invisible and getting caught by lopez with a bag of flour. it's written by the person who wrote QED. You want to read it right now. Read it right now. READ IT RIGHT N

wait no the cute bit about sarge declaring war on gravity and upending a bag of flour onto lopez isnt in guns for shooting. what fic is that from

[ganondoodle]

saw a few posts talking about ganondorf and while i dont want to uh .. risk having to argue with strangers ... i cant shut up entirely (you know me)

(in my opinion that is probably missing alot or just not as well read as a lot of others since i really just say what i feel instead of knowing what im talking about-)

its kinda hard to really talk about him bc hes so .... steeped into tired old stereotypes and harmful tropes with intentionally so little else, if anything, that you almost always end up playing into them if you just take what canon tells you (and alot of people love defending it too :/ )

to what degree is it really his character and what is literally just some things that were decided he does to make it clear hes the one note evil guy, to justify whatever horror is done to him and overshadow/bury what anyone else has done, to not think about maybe he had a point bc look how much bad stuff he does! if you made him fight for the freedom/sovereignity of his own people against an oppressive hyrule he would be in the right- so ACTUALLY he opresses them violently and selfishly even WORSE and then wants to murder everyone tm that dont bow to him bc thats what evil people do! and hyrule is justified in taking them over in turn bc their rule wont opress them :)

its like a game of trying to one up whatever hyrule did with something more bad tm bc otherwise it gets hard to justify killing him over and over

im not saying hes not allowed to be prideful, selfish or violent of whatever, but you gotta know that all of that IS one of those ways that is supposed to make it clear how evil tm the desert guy is; it doesnt matter what hyrule has done bc look! ganondorf is so much worse! and im sure hyrule had their reasons :)

hes never actually allowed to interact with his own people, hes isolated/alienated from them and their culture constantly, hes their king yet he .... violently takes over "free" gerudo villages (what? what for?? what does "free" even mean? they werent following him? their king?? were they .. allied with hyrule, who are good tm, which means they were living in paradise aka "free"? (bc they are good ones tm bc they rejected their evil one in a hundred year man king ruling violently over only women .. *cough*)), yet hes never seen fighting alongside his own people (the most is them .. silently serving him in what, one scene??) and then he drops them the second he has evil MONSTERS to fight for him instead and orders them to kill every living thing or something bc thats obviously evil, he doesnt even care about his own people! how evil! why would he do that? idk, hes the sole, selfish violent evil man opressing his own people, who are all women! that what they do! and WE need to free them from HIM (and they should be thankful to us for it and try to attone for ever having birthed him in the first place) (or he is the reason tm why they suffered/were wiped out and he is literally the sole survivor of his people, bc he doesnt care about ANYONE but himself)

i dont mean he has to be a goody two shoes character (you can be an ass and still do good/be in the right btw) bc more often than not what that actually means is being allied with hyrule bc those are the designated good guys and being on their side makes you automatically good (eugh) but do you rly want to just ... play along with all the propaganda?

imo, aside from being obviously racist, thats also so boring? does selfish, violent evil man king with no people (bc hes not part of them or fighting for them, hes always presented as the worse oppressor) and nothing else to him that only wants to murder bc ... idk evil? sound interesting to you? (to the point that the ONLY time we were shown literally any sort of vunerabillity, end of ww, that theres people trying to argue he was trying to to manipulate you even there?? what for? why? are you trying to reject literally the one glimpse we are allowed into his perspective qoq)

why do alot of people reject the idea so much to consider he actually cared about them, how maybe that prideful and selfish look is just a facade, or even a fabrication? violence that had to be met with violence, not for any sort of selfish reasons, but for his people and was met with a fight he could not win yet kept fighting on, perhaps losing himself more and more in the process, or a lie told so often that it became reality, if someone has nothign left to lose, if all was taken from them, maybe even blamed on them, why not play into what you where made out to be, you cant convince them otherwise anyway its the reason hes never shown to have done a single nice thing, never seen non angry/smug smiling, how he has no one at his side unless he forced them, how he is not allowed to be human even a little bit, never shown being anything but a boring ass trope personified, hes less a character and more a big bundle of racist tropes that fights you at the end (sorry) while looking epic so trying to meaningfully analyze him just by what we are told and shown in canon will always fall kinda flat or end up playing righ into every shitty trope

that is my opinion :I

[vermilionsun]

Hi hello! I loved your Ais and Kuras NSFW headcannons, do you think you could do some for Vere please? Have a great day!

I'm so glad you liked those! I hope I lived up to your expectations with this one :)

Vere

aka that perverse fleabag (qoq from Mhin)

✦ Multiple orgasms Starting off strong, this man is not satisfied with one round. (Do be careful though, his stamina is no joke)

✦ Crying A personal belief of his is that if he doesn’t cry, either the sex wasn’t good enough or it ended too soon. Tease him, edge him, forbid him to touch himself, do anything in your power to make him feel good and if you see a tear or two you���ve done it.

✦ Begging On that note, if you get him to beg… he will do anything. It's all about knowing how to push his buttons and make him crave your touch. Just be prepared for the consequences at a later time.

✦ P R A I S E Look, look, look; he does not mind humiliation at all, but it doesn’t turn him on as much as praise does. Tell him he’s doing great, that he looks absolutely gorgeous and you might earn a few whimpers just from that.

✦ Nipple clamps Hold his tiddies hostage. Maybe twist and turn the handles once in a while. For maximum effect have them attached to his collar.

✦ BLOODPLAY Just imagine him laying there, the carmine liquid adoring his muscles, metallic scent filling the room. Him leaving a small chuckle at how messed up his hair and clothes are, yet being unable to shake off his lover’s predatory look as they gaze down on him.

✦ pull hIS TAIL– If you want to take your chances on life, pull his tail without warning. Considering he takes great care of it, your best chance is his mind being so clouded with lust that he barely registers it as anything other than a shock of pleasure running down his spine.

✦ Breathplay Cut off his airflow and he’ll go nuts.

✦ Overstimulation Give it to him until he can’t take it anymore (which… will take a while). If he isn’t shaking and dry, then you’re not done yet.

✦ Marking Bite him E V E R Y W H E R E. His neck, his chest, his thighs; he is a blank canvas ready to be painted in the red and purple shades his lover can create. Expect him to return the favour as soon as it is given out to him.

✦ Doggystyle Don’t even try to argue with him (you’ll lose).

✦ Body worship Treat him like the divine being he used to be and he’ll melt. Run your hands up and down his body, leave ghostly kisses behind and he’ll start shaking (despite not liking having the pleasure he knows he’s going to receive delayed).

✦ Masochism Give him pain. The more the better in his opinion. He loves feeling either his lover’s hands or a foreign object on his body, doing things that will leave red marks, bruises or potential scars for days to come.

✦ Exhibitionism He’ll do it anywhere and everywhere. A quick blowjob in an alley? Sure. Playing under the table? Count him in. On a stage in front of the whole of Eridia? He’s already on it and waiting for you.

✦ D̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶p̶u̶l̶l̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶l̶l̶a̶r̶

✦ Aftercare If you're just a client, leave him the fuck alone. Otherwise, pamper him with a nice long bath, champagne and fruits etc. These are a given and a standard. If you and he happen to have a more… intimate, per se, relationship, then cuddles come first and foremost, overshadowing everything else. He is a monster, yes, but he’s not a Soulless. In fact, his soul craves raw affection. Nothing materialistic can quite reach the soft petting of his hair and your soothing hands down his back.

I stumbled upon above image from this blog and went “Huh, that’s exactly how my fingernails grow. I know it can be a sign of a severe health problem but doctors haven’t found anything and my fingernails have looked like that for my whole life”. (I’d like to grow my nails long but I can’t because the pressure of the curving is too much and painful.)

(and here’s a pic of healthy nails, growing as they should)

I checked the origin of the photo and found the blog I just mentioned. It’s run by an English person who was diagnosed with BJHS - Benign Joint Hybermobility Syndrome. I read all the person’s experiences and symptoms and yikes! That’s me! (with overlapping IBS and iron deficiency which can’t be treated)

“Benign meaning “it will not kill me,” not that it’s all fluffy-kittens-and-sunshine. Joint Hypermobility meaning my joints move too much in the wrong ways (yes, “double jointed,” though of course I have only a single set of each joint). Syndrome meaning that this problem creates a cascade of other issues throughout my body. BJHS is a connective tissue-based disorder. Somewhere along the line, my genetics have made it so that I don’t either produce enough of, or don’t process completely, the protein collagen. Collagen is like the scaffolding for every connective tissue in  your body. Connective tissues include: skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons, hair, bones, eyes, blood vessels, spinal discs, cartilage, the intestines, the heart, the liver… basically, everywhere. In fact, I can’t actually name a part of the body that doesn’t contain it.”

Here are the blog person’s experiences VS my experiences

Insomnia: did I mention the hyper-wired, jazzed-up, over-talkative, never-shuts-down nature of my brain? That I get more hyper the more exhausted I become? That I used to sleep so lightly that my roommate in college could wake me up by writing in her journal? Did I mention that, without the right meds, I probably get one or two nights of truly deep, restful sleep… a year? Me: Yup! I sleep so slightly that when I had a flatmate, I woke up when she touched the handle of her door. Though my insomnia isn’t as bad as this persons, I do regularly need melatonin to sleep normally. Otherwise I can’t fall asleep until 8am, even if I was super tired during the day. Otherwise I sleep well.

Liver metabolism: I have serious problems processing medications, as I have a liver that is slow to metabolize chemicals. I cannot take a very long list of drugs, including most pain killers. This also includes naturopathic treatments… even my own hormones! I get side effects (or no effects) with everything I take. As my naturopath likes to say: “You just walk by a chemical, and it affects you.” Me: My shiatsu healer said that my liver is not working properly. I have hormonal problems. Even with the IUD I still get them monthly, though IUD has improved my health tremendously.

Complex PTSD and anxiety: like the stuff combat veterans get, only not quite. Caused by excessive exposure to stressful situations that one cannot escape, like, say… a bully at work (not saying that was my situation. Just as an example…). Though I received great treatment, people with BJHS are prone to stuff like this: fight or flight, remember? Me: I’m getting better but I’m 24/7 anxious more or less. I hope I can continue having anxiety medication for “bad things” like traveling. Do you know how annoying it is that you love traveling and have traveled the same journey for 10+ years and your anxiety still says “Okay but this time, something bad CAN happen!!” I was also pretty much mute for 12 years. My muscles are tense 24/7 due hyperactive nervous system and anxiety.

Heart palpitations: yucky, but harmless Me: Sometimes they happen, ugh...

Irritable bowel syndrome Me: TELL ME ABOUT IT QoQ The IUD has helped with this, too, as apparently I also have endometriosis which causes IBS to some.

Sinus problems and severe allergies (go immune system, go!) Me: YUP! Just got finally an allergy medication after sneezing daily, 20 times a day for 30 years. I new life has began! My nose isn’t running! I don’t need to have a truckload of tissues everywhere!

GERD (bad acid reflux) Me: And it gets worse with hormonal changes... I’ve got 4 different medications for this.

Poor balance and an inability to fully understand where my body is in relation to everything else. Me: Not really my issue but I do get clumsy with hormonal chances. It’s a common joke between me and my sister by now.

An inability to regulate body temperature, including both freezing extremities and excessive sweating, sometimes at the same time Me: This is genuinely THE WORST! It’s -30C outside, I go there half-naked, walk for 3 minutes and I’m sweating like a little big. All my clothes are trenched with sweat in 10 minutes. I’m inside and it’s 23C and I need wool socks and wake up with a sore throat because it’s too cold. I also “catch” the temperatures easily and shower (or sauna) is then the only option. If I catch “cold”, I will not warm up no matter how warmly I dress and sit in front of a heater. If I catch “hot”, I will not cool down even if I sat in front of a fan naked with ice-cubes on my body.

Hair that breaks easily and nails that are bent and curl off the tips of my fingers, as well as fingers that wrinkle like I’ve been in the tub for days Me: Yes. I need to use hair oil daily and baby oil for body and my eyes are like Sahara desert. Nails curve and my fingers are always wrinkly.

I have painful big toe joints, so no high heels for me. Walking long distances can be a disaster, so good shoes are very important. I suffer from plantar fasciitis, which means the bottoms of my feet hurt, especially in the morning. Me: Same. I went to doctor to complain how my toes hurt but they couldn’t find anything. My soles hurt extremely easily - like 5h walking and I’m already in pain. Doesn’t matter if I’m 45kg or 100kg in weight, it still hurts the same. Fingers hurt all the time.

My immune system is hyper-active as well, mounting elaborate, full-scale mucus or lymph node or other responses to mild colds and viruses. I’m sick a lot longer than normal people, and a lot more seriously, yet it’s not due to a poor immune system, but rather one that’s too strong. Me: Same. Last time I was sick was in 2017. It was just a normal cold but it took 4 weeks from me to recover. I was bedridden for a week. I’ve not gotten covid and despite my shitty bowl I don’t get sick easily. I don’t remember the last time I was sick prior 2017. Probably in 2007? With a bit runny nose though.

Loose connective tissues mean joints that move too easily, which means pinched nerves and pain. Think about how it feels when you throw your back out, or get carpal tunnel syndrome. Now imagine this feeling all over your body.  My nerves get pinched, causing several types of pain. I get back pain, obviously. I get numbness and mild paralysis in my thighs and hands. I get weakness in my legs and arms, and sciatica/restless leg sensations if I sit too long. Worst of all, I get parasthesia in my fingers and toes (that’s the tingling, painful sensation you get when you sit funny and your foot goes numb, then starts to wake up). I have this sensation, in varying degrees, all the time. Me: I’m literally in pain all around my body from neck below, for 24/7. Only the level of pain differs. I get easily numbness to arms and legs. I’ve started to suffer of restless legs and middle body with heavy jolting, especially if I’m tired. If I’m stressed and go to sleep, my nose and lips switch a lot.

asdfghjkl I wasn’t expecting people to actually like the TCD-YHS au so much lol. I’m much more awake this time so here’s some more thoughts.

In the original idea where they meet in the TCD universe instead of season nine after both coming through the rift, I’m picturing Grian being actually quite a bit younger than Scar. Specifically, this would they would have met not long after his parents left him, so Grian is maybe 5 or 6 while Scar is in his early teens. In this version of events Grian is probably too young to have started the gender crisis, so we’ll stick with she/her pronouns for now. Anyway, Scar is out looking for supplies and stuff when he hears crying and even though it sends alarms ringing in his head, he goes to check it out because zombies don’t sound like that. And when he turns the corner and sees this little girl just bawling her eyes out his first reaction is actually that he’s totally lost it and is hallucinating because she just looks so out of place? Like she’s clearly upset, but her hair is brushed back neatly and her dress is still free from the dirt and grime that he’s learned to live with. But he figures that in the off chance that he’s not seeing things that aren’t there, he should really do something because if she keeps crying like this it’s going to attract some unwanted attention.

In the rift version of events, where they’re closer to the same age, we could go a few different ways. As a young teenager Grian would probably have started being uncomfortable being treated as a girl, but with all the other trauma going on probably wouldn’t have put two and two together just yet. I like to make things a little spicy by imagining that young Grian and young Scar absolutely do not trust each other at first because of their unique brands of trauma and coping methods. So Scar is used to being the only living person around and anything that moves is a threat, and he feels safer when he has easy access to his gun and can point it at whatever’s scaring him. Grian at this point in life has trauma about guns and as soon as Scar pulls it out he immediately goes on the ‘red alert! Danger!’ list. For extra fun we could imagine that Grian grabs the gun out of his hands and turns it on him and that’s the scene the adult hermits walk in on…

Aww oh my goodness. I adore the idea of Scar finding and helping Grian who's just a kid qoq

YESSSS OWOWOWO HOPEFULLY I CAN SEE MORE OF THEM I HAVE SOME CHARACTERS THAT I LOVE SO MUCH AND IT MAKES ME SAD THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH OF WRITINGS ABOUT THEM BUT I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND SOMEONE WHO WRITES THEM <33333 then can i request Sonosuke Izayoi x fem reader fluff headcanons?? i love this baby sm but there is no enough fics or even headcanons about him qoq have a great day <33

i love izayoi so much he deserves better :,(

thank you for the request and don't hesitate to come back for more if you want

sonosuke izayoi x fem!reader

this man is the single most loyal man you will ever meet

he will do anything to protect you, he's not afraid to pull a knife on someone for flirting with you

if you call him yoi, he'll go soft, and he'll blush

he'll call you babe, baby, darling, love

he will literally treat you like a queen ie. kissing your hand, spoiling you with gifts, massage you when you're tense

his favorite thing to do is watch you sleep (i know that sounds weird but hear me out okay?) the way you look with your eyes closed, chest moving up and down slowly as you breathe, your lips parted slightly while you sleep, you're absolutely gorgeous

plus he can't protect you if he's sleeping

one of his other favorite things is laying his head in your lap

he is a thigh man, just sayin

he also loves poking your cheek just because it's squishy and he wants to see you pout at him when he does

he's always gotta have one hand on you just in case, and it's usually on your waist

kisses kisses kisses

on your cheek, your hair, your forehead, your hand, your shoulder, your nose, literally everywhere because he loves to spoil you

he may be strong and quiet around others but at home he can actually be really goofy

the two of you will get into food fights with marshmallows and popcorn and chase each other around the house

he'll pick you up and toss you on the bed whenever he wants to cuddle too

favorite cuddle position is spooning

you'll mostly be the little spoon because he enjoys holding you too much

[beelspillowpet]

Hi hi so this has been in my head since this morning, how would the brothers react with mc giving them a surprise massage, like they suddenly barge into their room and just massage them since mc saw that they've been more stressed then usual.

🙊

Sorry it took me so long to get to this! I’ve been trying to catch up on my content starting today!!

I myself am a big fan of physical affection, even if it’s not intimate. So randomly getting massages sounds adorable... <3

MC Gives Surprise Massages!

Lucifer

Oh god does he need it. He sits up at his desk all day, working on as much paperwork as he can before he crashes. And that’s if nothing else happens for that day. You better believe his back is suffering.

He has a habit of leaning forward in his chair too much. He hates it, but his posture is awful. Which results in pain in his upper back, shoulders, and mid back, all along the spine.

You would be doing him a massage favor by taking care of any of those. Let’s say for the sake of platonic behavior, you’re merely rubbing his shoulders in circles while he works. You don’t require conversation. You just want him to not tense up as much.

He’s much more relaxed and his posture is better by the end of it. He mutters a soft ‘thank you’ to you as you exit out the door. He doesn’t mind when you do this; it’s the exact opposite really. He adores that you’re simply just trying to help him relax since he’s been so stressed and tense lately.

Mammon

He probably isn’t tense? But he’s for sure stressed. I mean he’s a trouble maker, and it’s sort of scary being in trouble when lucifer is breathing down your neck. That and various other things like school and work, and feeding his constant greed, and yeah. A massage sounds nice.

Truth be told, even just sitting with him is grand, because he feels the intensity in his body melting away at the sight of you. He’s down bad, for sure.

You come to him when he’s stressing over homework, to be exact. He’s about to throw in the towel before you barge in, startling him. You don’t even speak, you just go and start rubbing his shoulders. He’s almost like putty in your hands.

He almost doesn’t want to continue. He’s so at ease under your touch, but he’s also questioning what you want. Why are ya’ botherin’ me, MC!? Just ignore him; he’s loving it, deep down inside.

Leviathan

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! STOOOOOPPPPPPP!! Dooooon’t touch meeee!!! QoQ

He’s tense as hell. His posture is probably the worst out of all of his brothers. It doesn’t help that he sleeps in a bathtub either.  When you barge in his room he’s sputtering and nearly screaming. Wh- HENRY!? You forgot to use the password!!!

You actually have to tell him to sit still. Otherwise he will not. He still sort of squirms and cries under your touch, though. Admittedly, he’s never really gotten a massage before. Go figure. So imagine his shock at how much better he feels after the fact.

He doesn’t really say anything at first. A soft little hum of appreciation. Sometimes when you barge in to do that again, he just lays back and lets you, while he plays his game. He still will never get used to your touch, but he enjoys it nonetheless.

Satan

His posture is actually pretty good. He sits up straight in his seat while he reads. However, all that anger deep inside of him makes his body tense, and that leads to discomfort. Mostly in his shoulders and face.

He’s a bit irritated at how you barged into his room like that. Like, couldn’t you just fucking knock like everyone else? He’s about to protest, but your hands are already on his shoulders, working their magic.

He leans into your touch, still questioning what you’re doing, but he’s smart. If all those books in his room aren’t proof enough of it. He relaxes into your touch, eyes still scanning the page, but not really reading.

He adores you, secretly. You’re so kind him. You’ve taught him what love feels like, and there aren’t enough words in the world to describe how grateful he is to you. So at the very least, he can stay put and allow you to massage him. He’s happy.

Asmodeus

Absolutely not stressed about a goddamn thing in the world. His beauty and perfection beats all.

Would absolutely NEVER turn down an offer of a massage from you. A full body massage is most likely what he’ll ask for. He’ll even guide you through it if you need him to.

His favorite is when you come in while he’s taking care of his skincare routine. Roll up your pant legs and sit on the edge of the tub while you massage him. Hell, get naked in the tub and massage him that way!

Whatever you decide to do, he is very keen on telling you he loves and appreciates it. Did you honestly expect anything less from your favorite overly affectionate demon man!?

Beelzebub

Nothing beats a massage. Maybe except for food. But still, a massage from MC? He wouldn’t ever dream of missing out on that.

He’s probably in the kitchen eating when you barge in. Without a word to him, you circle around his seat and your hands are on his broad shoulders. He’s still eating happily, but now he just wants to share his food with you. Why are you giving him a massage? :)

He’s not tense or anything. He’s almost too relaxed. Truthfully, if you wanted to work some tenseness out of his body, you’d probably have a better job working on his legs or feet. He’s used to being on them a lot, but that’s exactly the problem.

He stretches before and after working out. But still, that doesn’t solve everything. You’re better off catching him a little after a workout. That’s when he’s extremely sore and doesn’t like moving.

Belphegor

A massage is the perfect way to get him to sleep. Especially if he’s having trouble doing so. He’s not really a fan of you busting down the door for it, though, but he won’t complain for long.

Like Beel, he’s almost too relaxed. It makes sense for him though. You have to be relaxed to be able to sleep well, right? All his problems must roll off his shoulders so easily.

Instead of trying to get him to relax, it’s more a method of getting him to sleep. It works like a charm every single time, and before long he’s sleeping softly. He more so enjoys the headpats than anything else, but who is he to direct you? By all means.

He’ll likely become addicted to them. Hey MC, I was thinking... could you give me another massage? Please? :) I wouldn’t ask anyone else but you. You’re so good at it! He’s spoiled. He’s spoiled and you love him for it.

[doeyedangel]

heyheyhey doe my favourite I had a question for you !

I was just wondering about you n will that yall have open communication (i remember u saying that at some point n did Not know what that meant) and just you guys seem like a really healthy relationship and im just wondering if you have any advice to communicate esp with bpd cause my gf moved and its been So Hard being long distance cause I cant just cuddle her to make my bad feelings go away anymore >:|

QoQ this is so so sweet!! Did she move very far or can you two still plan visits and stuff often? Either way I know long distance can be tough and I can't even imagine going from being able to cuddle to long distance :cc I think for me n Will it's easy bc both of like constantly talking with each other and keeping each other up to date with our days, but I know that's not always feasible with everyone's communication styles. In which case, I'd highly recommend carving out a time in the day or week to spend time solely with each other like playing games together or video calling, etc! We also do weekly check ins to recap how our relationship has been and if there's anything we could be doing better and good things that made each other happy :3 I know it won't be as good as being able to just hug and cuddle but it'll be really worth it to strengthen both of your communication skills in a relationship!! Plus as they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder ♥ I wish you and your gf well dear!!

Rambles

Tangential thought though it's strangely comforting to jokingly play the role of Creepy Roommate Who Might Be A Murderer becuase I suffered so much self here and like, legitimate abuse in the past being painted as the stereotypical scary violent mentally ill person which played a role in avoiding horror media because i was trying to be Palatable but nothing was ever good enough (especially when abusive people are using your illness as leverage as to why they're the victim no matter what oof) and I had a particularly startling incident of someone making a serious accusation that I was violent and it fucked me up for like.. weeks until my roommates and misc fiends assured me enough nobody was even slightly afraid of me which like even aside from that incident I always like secretly worried everyone hated me y'know? Anyway it's been freeing since then to just kind of like, Own It like alright fine sure whatever I'm crazy and unhinged but everyone I love trusts me and I know myself better than anyone else that I deserve that trust becuase I'm not a bad person just because my brain stuff makes me drawn to horror and spooky things in fact everyone has been SO cool and receptive to that I feel like people wanna talk about that stuff to me more than anything ever???? I have a LIST of friends wanting to show me their fav horror movies and nobody at all has reacted badly if I said I related to the villains or w/e qoq

ANYWAY omg just some thoughts I'd been wanting to ramble about for a while but kept forgetting and it just like! Reminded me after joking around

[ganondoodle]

so, after this phase of depression, i am back at too many ideas at once and getting overwhelmed by all of it bc i cant do it all and dont know how to decide which one to focus on or which ones actually good and not just a brainfart

(so, some more botw2/totk rewritten ideas-

mostly text but i am unsure what to actually work on and draw or if its even any good, so id be very happy to hear your opinion on some of this qoq)

-was thinking about designing the sonau even though they might not show up physically, to keep their mystery alive, but i am playing with the idea of a dead one preserved in crystal in a larger cave, perhaps their last stronghold, i like the thought of them being rather small monkey like creatures with long tails that end in a light fern looking thing

--been also thinking more about the ancient queen zeldas and ganondorfs relationship bc i feel its compelling for them to have had a much more personal grudge agaisnt each other than i previously planned, gives more weight to everything-

though it is mostly background stuff that is not directly shown in the game, except for environmental storytelling -which botw was pretty good at- and diary entries you can discover (perhaps finding it and then telling riju and a gerudo researcher about it since it would be in ancient script zelda hadnt encountered before?), current thought was to have there be a secret lair that one of ganondorfs daughters used to live in after the sealing disaster sent both kingdoms into conflict, and with their mother dying in battle the eldest daughter would surrender and agree to whatever the princess of hyrule demanded, while the younger one would not bow down and those that followed her split off to live in the gerudo highlands, like another reoccuring theme with this being the prescursor to what happens with the shiekah and yiga later- of those are none left by this time (or should there?) and the diary of the younger daughter talks about her fathers secret hideout having being sealed shut as a sign of respect- it is inaccessible due to the structures beign damaged, but its serving as a hint there will be more; it will be made accessible after the mid game fight with ganondorf, in which you see the scene of the sealing, and he changes his position from hyrule castle that fell into the underground to the innards of the plateau- that being the final dungeon- in his room, might also be a part of his diary, at least from his younger days, and a bracelet of obviously hyrulian origin, which is meant to imply-

that the ancient queen zelda and him were in love once when they were both younger, though neither really acted on it (noble families pressures and conflictions yippie) until it was decided she would be married to a young knight of a noble hyrulian family, as it had been per tradition, after which they would not be able to visit each other anymore in the way they sued to as her father wanted her to prepare to take the throne and was way more strict than before, with one last meeting in that secret chamber and her leaving a bracelet there as a gift-

now heres the problem i ran into, that they had feelings for each other and used to be very close, as well as both having their own families later on is pretty solid and i want to keep all that but i also randomly thought about weaving the drama further (in that noble families kind of way especially, though again this would only be mentioned in his diary entry from the secret room you unlock, and since his younger daughter doesnt mention anything at all save for makign a point about not rummaging through her late fathers things out of her deep respect for him, its pretty clear she didnt know and neither did anyone else except for ganondorf himself and perhaps his mothers, this is all meant to make all of these characters have more depth even with getting little to literal no screentime, not to be a big focus)- so there was the stray idea of the ancient queen having a daughter 'just' after being married to that hyrulian knight.. and it being obviously not his, but gerudo, as gerudo traits are rather dominant(i think?) and the knight and ganondorf look nothing alike, so to avoid any sort of royal disaster that daughter would be secretly given to ganondorf to raise instead (which he would gladly do), and the official story being it was stillborn (the whole thing being worked out by a few maids sworn loyally to their queen .. im torn about the queen herself knowing or not tbh or if that even matters in the grand scheme of things (though i do like the idea of her knowing but acting like it is nothing to live up to being a wise and proud queen now thats shes under that pressure, she would change alot during her time of reign, going from that more typical unsure of herself but trying her best princess to a self confident cold and calculating queen, maybe he could even make a short remark about it), again this is still just vaguely implied background details most wouldnt even find out about, i just .. like to think about the background of things that make sense and give more weight to it all but arent what it revolves around and its neither essential to know, might as well be one of those things people would likely hear about in youtube videos)

i didnt find or dont know if theres any rule that princess zelda cant have siblings (i think she had a brother once but idk that may be different about sisters is the question) bc ganondorfs older daughter then not awakening any special (zelda reserved) powers could be simply bc she wasnt trained to do so (perhaps she would be able to hear things like zeldas often do but that too being only mentioned offhand) and him just not putting any focus on royal hyrulian traditions, it could be a secret rite too and honestly .. why would he try to train her to be the traditional princess of hyrule, awakening powers that are reserved for the hyrulian royals would make everything go haywire in terms of the secret about her mother, though im worried it would seem like her being gerudo is seen as 'tainted' instead, like she isnt a 'real' or 'pure' zelda and that being the reason, which somethign i do not like at all

either way that second part is purely an idea that i am 50/50 about using since its really not a big deal in the end and ultimately doesnt change much except make their relationship a bit more messier

---ahem, anyway, i also decided i wanted to model most sky islands after this one photo in my collection since it looks cool and would make sense to have these island be worn down by constant winds

---- i also want to flood the tabantha canyon with the forgotten temple and considered actually breaking of some pieces of landmass, like it is now a giant island, imagine akkala a kilometer away from the mainland for example, it wouldnt inherently change much about the structure but it would make it feel alot more different and provide good ground for different kinds of interactions since the people there would need to adjust to that, you can melt ice around the riot region easier than you can reattach a broken off giant piece of land after all

Hoi! QwQ I was wondering.. where did you learn your art skills from? QoQ Human anatomy, angles, etc.

Hiya! 

I’ve been drawing my surroundings (people, objects, etc) since grade school, which served as a foundation for learning how to observe and measure things in a drawing sense. 

Human anatomy is tricky! I had a figure drawing class in college, but I feel as if it was mostly just putting the above skills into repetitive practice. When it comes to building up knowledge of human anatomy, reference is key!

Posemaniacs is something I use occasionally- it’s nice in that it shows muscle placement: http://www.posemaniacs.com/

Figurosity has models of different sizes and lots of poses at different angles: https://figurosity.com/ 

SenshiStock has varied models and even more varied poses, and they’re of real people: https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

DesignDoll is for posing 3D models, which is helpful if you’re having trouble with measuring proportions for a certain pose, though the anatomy of it can potentially be very wonky: https://terawell.net/terawell/?lang=en

Manga Materials goes into specific parts of human anatomy to tips on learning effectively: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnx8zKs3c3yeFPYQ2QzMqLA

What has also helped is studying photos. I love drawing people more than anything else in the world, but I still feel like in the beginning stages of sketching I’m doing a whole lot of flailing around trying to find the correct placement of things as well as keep character faces consistent. So in my free time, I’ve been finding photo reference of different head angles of the same people, overlaying a drawing layer over them, and tracing over the different planes of the face to try and understand them better. 

This has also doubled as a personal reference for drawing these face angles on the fly, or for drawing RP characters in a way that deviates from their “faceclaims”, too, which is pretty nice.

(As you can see I only got so far. I don’t have that much free time between commissions, haha)

Ethan Becker explains this way of studying faces a little better and probably does this in practice a lot better here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZhUHNqLOUg

If all of the above fails in finding the right reference for whatever it is I’m looking for, I usually resort to acting out a pose myself and letting a webcam continuously take pictures until I capture what I need.

Just recently I needed to know what someone’s hands looked like braiding a very thick braid for a commission, so I now have a lot of pictures like this of me braiding scarves together, and it helped immensely! It can feel very goofy to pose these things out if you’re not used to it, and if you use something better than a webcam this might be more useful in studying details like fingers and facial features, but I still find this to be a very useful tool. 

As far as using art programs goes, there’s a tutorial for nearly anything out here in the internet! The more you know about what a program is capable of doing, the more solutions you can come up with on your own to solve any problem you might need to solve.

PiXimperfect has a lot of videos on Photoshop in particular and is focused on photography and compositing, but I’ve found some things to be applicable to illustration as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMrvLMUITAImCHMOhX88PYQ

Clip Studio Paint Artist comes out with helpful tips in CSP pretty often: https://twitter.com/clipstudiotips?lang=en

But that’s pretty much where I can say my skills have come from! Observing, studying, referencing, pawing through online resources, and then doing it all again and again.

Next week is my birthday and I have no idea how to celebrate this time. I mean, the celebration to me means that I just do something special on the birthday day by myself.  The IUD is causing me hell a lot of pains pretty much 24/7 (still) which prevents many activities, even with painkillers.

I’m a bit too tired and exhausted to get a tattoo for the legs tattooing project as the aftercare demands energy and I really can’t take the itching now! QoQ

Eating out with this digestion is not an option and I’ve ordered a lot home delivery due health issues, so nothing fancy there.

There isn’t anything going on in the movies I’d want to see and frankly, I’m too much in pain to go. Same with museums, cemeteries, churches (there are medieval churches I haven’t seen yet!), tea ceremony, massage, riding etc.

Reiki treatment sounds appealing in some way but not that much, and I haven’t found a healer who I’d like. Of course, I can do guided healing treatments on  my own, which wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I don’t have anything on my to-buy list that I’d need like RIGHT NOW.

Traveling is still out of question and tbh, I’d be too tired to go. Otherwise I’d love to visit Germany, England and Japan after a long, long time.

I really enjoyed my hotel stay for the few days with a bath tub(!!!), sauna and good food when I had to leave home due pluming repair work, but I can’t afford such a thing now.

Watching movies, gaming, watching series etc. isn’t anything special, though I have spent lovely birthdays alone by watching documentaries in the past.

Perhaps I just try to get the new comic update done next week :’D
