Realizing I have to post about my ocs if I want people to know and ask more about my ocs anyways I'm trying to think of what Riff and Jive's (my other oc) dynamic would be like. I think it's definitely really awkward at first since Jive is so shy. *scurries away*

NO MORE RODENT COMPARISONS...! BE NICE...!

Anyhow /to me/ you are more like an owl. I wanted to say like a Barn owl maybe, but in my heart you're an Eastern Screeching owl. (Something, something, big eyes and they have a red variant thats similar to you're hair color !)

It’s had to tell if he likes the comparison or not.

i love the prospect that in a post-war au, some humans are talking to coswave about words for s/o's and someone goes "huh, well in english we have a few, you guys just have conjunx or bonded, right?" and cosmos is like "💕💕🤭🥰yeah soundwave is my conjunx🥰🤭💕💕" and soundwave is like "affirmative ... 💕" but someone's like "oh, well we have husband, wife, spouse, partner there are probably more but those are the main ones" and soundwave's like "!!" and cosmos is like "oh, you like one?" and soundwave just echoes out in perfect monotone, "soundwave: cosmos' loving wife" and that's it because i think she deserves it

The emojis made me giggle way too hard hold on. Cosmos absolutely uses a downright atrocious amount of emojis it’s more emoji than text. Hold on gimme a second

I totally love the idea of post war Cosmos and Soundwave get conjunxed and Soundwave regularly lets Cosmos go with him on his trips to Earth. Naturally the discussion of marriage is brought up and Cosmos is way too happy to talk about how much he loves his Conjunx (Soundwave doesn’t talk much about his personal life to humans. Or anyone, really. But especially to the humans—there’s only one human he’d be comfortable with talking to about that, and he’s gone). Cosmos is like a sponge, he loves learning new things about different species and integrating it into his own life if he can. So naturally, when he learns about different terms of endearment and names for loved ones, he’s quick to adapt them to show his affection for his Conjunx (though, he doesn’t quite understand strict gendered terms. He immediately calls Soundwave his wife and refuses to be corrected by anyone).

Soundwave finds it very silly and charming. Cosmos tries out different pet names (honey, darling, sweetheart, baby) and some receive a giggle of amusement while others receive a crinkled nose of displeasure. Cosmos chooses pet names depending on how amused Soundwave gets when he’s called them (“darling” always gets a flare of amusement from his partner, as does “honey” and “lover”).

Soundwave doesn’t quite understand nor care for pet names, but if they make his Conjunx happy then he’s happy to accept the new nicknames.

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🛸🛸 I’m sorry I always go on rambles when I answer asks ehehehfhf

"Non paeniteo potitus."

+ details & process

And, process !!

The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️

What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:

I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!

There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

Any of those could be Laios tbh

his sleepy energy... he just woke up n did Not hear wat u said

[grassbreads]

So there's this story about a person who was born and raised to despise each and every human being ever born into the world. The entire reason for his existence—the reasons for all of his ancestors' existences throughout history—is to enact vengeance on humanity for their crimes.

Then that vengeful being, despite his best attempts not to, befriends a human man. He finds himself caring for one human and that human's younger brother, finds himself becoming part of their family, even though it goes against everything he is and is supposed to be. He finds himself loving these two people so deeply that it rewrites his whole worldview—changes him from a vengeful monster into something that hopes dearly for humanity's redemption and begs his father not to let them be destroyed.

It's a story about the power of understanding and connection, a story about learning to believe in the human potential to be good. And that story starts with one remarkable man who unknowingly manages to win the love of the personification of nature's vengeance in human skin.

The kicker is—that one man that befriends the monster? Who rewrites the vengeful being's whole worldview just by being beside him? He kinda fucking sucks, actually.

I really really REALLY enjoy when Hugo gets to meet people/kids and gets petted. It's fun for me to just stand back and watch, especially since he'll happily let kids get all up in his face.

i love the bit about becoming an adult meaning you value useful items as gifts aka the socks meme bc yeah. my big ticket item this year for my birthday/christmas list is a vacuum cleaner

[solradguy]

Murphy is blind and old so his hearing isn't quite what it used to be, but also I'm deceptively light on my feet. With socks on, he has no idea where I am when I come into the room, but he gets SO EXCITED when I randomly materialize next to him and call him a good boy. Or when we're playing I'll stop and get really quiet and he'll have no idea where I am until I make kissy noises. It's like playing peek-a-boo with a baby hahah

I am not sure what to make of Agate's smile at the end when she looked at Spinel.. I wonder if she was smiling because she was satisfied about their plan going smoothly, or was she smiling thinking about how she would betray Spinel eventually and that he was acting exactly the way she wanted him to. Spinel said that he was the only one who can actually analyze the Rakurium, so maybe Agate needs him for that.

It's pretty interesting thinking about how Spinel is getting quite comfortable around Agate, too. He usually shows open affection towards Blacky when they are both alone, yet in this episode, he gave Blacky pats with Agate around (and he was so cute about it too w). That's something he didn't do when him and Agate met up privately back in HZ034. So it feels like things are shifting a bit for them, and Spinel behaves a bit differently around Agate now.

The two of them clearly have their own agenda now, since they do not intend to report information to Hamber, presumably because he would report said information to Gibeon. And it looks like they need Gibeon for some reason (Spinel talking about ensuring the future of the Explorers back in HZ064), so they had to take Amethio out of the equation. I am still not sure what to make of their dynamics. Maybe they are really working together towards a common goal. Or maybe Spinel thinks he is using her, while she is the one using him?
