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.

I was scrolling through old asks and came across ones about Grian and Scar being married before joining Hermitcraft and no one has any idea until someone sees Grian wearing a wedding ring on a necklace, cue everyone going crazy. I couldn’t not write something for this AU. This specific scene was inspired by this ask: https://bluiex.tumblr.com/post/697477185391476736/impulse-would-go-to-pearl-like-did-you-know-grian

—————

Grian is curled against Scar on their couch when Pearl bursts in, he instinctively pulls away, not one for displaying affection in front of others. Pearl stares at them for a moment, amusement in her eyes, “you’re aware that everyone is completely oblivious right?”

“Huh?” Grian mumbles, confused for a moment. “Oh, you mean them knowing we’re married.“

“Yeah, apparently no one has any idea.”

Scar laughs, “not one?”

“No, Impulse just came up to me asking about it.” Pearl grins, “he may have misinterpreted what I said and now thinks you’re married to Mumbo.”

Grian bursts out into laughter, “Mumbo? Why’d he think that?”

“I asked him how could he not know after living next to you and your husband for an entire season.”

“So Mumbo? He had a fifty percent chance and got it wrong?” Grian asks incredulously, but somewhat amused.

“I don’t know if I should be offended or not,” Scar comments, “that he considered Mumbo before me.”

Grian pats him on his back jokingly solemn, “don’t worry, I love you more then anything else in the world.”

“I love you the most too,” Scar replies, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

Pearl pretends to gag, “gross.”

“You’re just jealous,” Scar counters, slinging an arm around Grian and pulling him close.

Pearl just good-naturedly rolls her eyes, “yeah, right.”

Grian suddenly turns to face his husband, a grin growing as an idea forms, “how do you feel about another bet?”

Scar immediately looks intrigued, “what kind?”

“How long will it take for the others to figure out you’re the one I’m married to. They’ve been oblivious for this long, how much longer do you think they still will be?”

Scar hums, “you just want to have a chance to win back your diamonds.”

Grian scoffs, “it’s not over just yet.”

“What other bet do you guys have?” Pearl interjects.

“Who would be the reason that the others find out about us being married,” Grian explains, looking at her again.

“Yeah, you’re facing a losing battle now.”

He pouts at her, “they still haven’t figured it out so there’s still a chance Scar will reveal it.”

She hums doubtfully, “can I get in on this new bet, it sounds fun.”

Grian chuckles as Scar nods, “I’m down for this.”

“Great! This will be fun to watch.”

—————

Btw, this is Season 9 during when Mumbo isn’t here. Which makes everything funnier to these three. Also, Pearl was at their wedding, hence why she knows. Also Scarian would 100% be rivals while being married, just for the fun of it.

YEEEES YESYES I loved this idea so much.. Cuz like it's so them to do stuff like this and I adore oblivious hermits LOL AAAH so good qoq I need moooore

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.

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.

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 >:|

thank youuuu <33

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

I am sorry to hear that the depression has stolen your spark.

I want you to know that you are the sole reason I gave Skyward Sword a chance. Your art was so beautiful and compelling that I just had to know about the media it came from.

Your art introduced me to an incredible community that years later, I am still benefitting from. Your art was the gateway, and I've always been thankful to you for that.

I hope your spark realights, and I hope you can kick depression right in its ass.

i- i did that????? qoq

yes im reviving old reaction pictures

i hope im not ruining the mood bc .. this legitimately made me tear up and i kept thinking of this ever since receiving the ask-

but bc i cant keep my mouth shut (i apologize if you are already well aware of all this i just .. like to talk i guess), i ... idk i have said this before but i feel incredibly conflicted about demise (am i allowed to like him??? do i even like him when i changed him so much??? am i a fraud fan????) and the game he comes from, i .. dont actually like skyward sword that much, or, not as much as it may seem like (my favorite is windwaker, second is botw), every now and then i even feel guilty for demise being my blorbo tm- as much as i love him im under no illusion what his introduction to the series did, the games lore is not .. great, it seems to have kickstarted the decline of the series writing and completely torpedoed any sort of fandom discussion by making zelda a literal reincarnation of the good tm gods of love and light and peace and everything good tm uwu and pit her against an evil demonnnnn that just crawled out the earth one day (??) and was only evil and bad and dark and hate incarnate an hated the good tm gods bc hes jsut so eviiiil, it gave rise to the utter dissmissal of any sort of ganondorf related discussions (funny how it only seems to apply to ganondorf, and none of the other villains hmmmmmmmmmmmm) bc, while not confirmed confirmed (though the fandom likes to pretend that), hes now widely seen as a reincarnation of demise and thus, doesnt need nuance or be given any grace or thought bc apparently when you say someone is a demon (or its reincarnation, which i dont believe ganondorf is, to be clear) that means its fine to not give them any thought bc demons are just evil tm and thats ok and good writing actually (wat????)

(if you take skysw as canonically how it all went down bc my interpretation makes it all be a fabricated lie so the gods can play their little games, there is no godess reincarnation, that was a lie to make way for an opressive kingdom belivieing itself to be irrevocably good no matter what they do etc)

it also cheapens any of the past entries, all of them have been flattened by this, why disscuss ganondorfs motivation lol, he just be a demon/demons puppet, zelda could never be wrong or do bad things bc she literal incarnation of goodness uwu etc- (and then totk, only the second game after skysw, retreads its points and makes it even worse while ALSO trampeling over that game imo)

i dont like saying it, but i do feel a little alienated even from ganondorf fans (i love him too!!!!!) bc they hate demise, and rightfully so, it feels weird having your main blorbo be the reason your second fav is constantly done dirty, why you cant even talk about anything critically bc 'iTs jUst a sIMpLe fAiRytALe' now and part of the reason the lore in general has gone to shit, and i dont know how much i can talk about that before i become an obnoxious 'well ACTUALLY my blorbo, who is the reason for all this, is ALSO done dirty and im gonna explain away the bad stuff via my completely noncanon reinterpretation-' guy, or if i already am what im doing with destiny is like .. my way of trying to fix it and make it interesting again? though at this point i guess im falling into the category of people who change their blorbo so much that there really isnt anythign left of the og, which worries me alot, though i wonder if thats even possible given how little there is to him in the first place, i so often see viral posts that make me feel guilty or conflicted for the way i work with media, "actually my blorbo did all those crimes and thats good you all who need to explain away the bad things are weak and annoying!!" "people who change their favs until they barely resemble the character anymore should just make an oc instead!!"-

i dont know if i take these types of posts too literally, i dont know when or how they apply, but it always circles around in my head, i know not everyone can like what you do, but i want to work with the material i have in an interesting way, not a puritanical way (or however you call that), its not in my mind every second, but it nevertheless makes me doubt what i do with my fanworks anytime i talk about them-

... this wasnt really the point of the message was it ... apologies, i hope not every ask will devolve into a sort of mini rant ;__; i dont mean to invalidate what you said, (and im not saying skyward sword is all bad, its full of charm, from characters to designs, just the lore is .. damaging) it is incredibly touching bc me or my art having a positive impact on people blindsides me every single time like "WHAT??? IMPOSSIBLE you MUST be thinking of someone else, no way i could do that", when something gets brought up my thoughts just kinda start pouring out, i thought about deleting everything i wrote, but then felt like that wouldnt be as genuine anymore (i am not normal tm after all and im long past a point pretending otherwise) and have wasted another hour for nothing, so im gonne leave it in and hope, pray even, it comes across correctly

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
